Chapter 718 Primordial Barrier

The Leviathan's roar is deafening to almost all the Mermaids and Nagas who hear it, but Lucien and his girls are just behind the barrier of the Sins.

Also, he can swear that the mysterious creature and the Water Spirit looked at him for a second before returning to focus on creating that colossal barrier around the whole Blue Star.

"What was that?" Lucien can't help but wonder, simultaneously asking for Lust's opinion.

"She wants you to see it," Lust quickly voices her opinion.

"See what exactly?" He is still confused.

Lust has no doubts that this is a kind of show of strength; and for whom else would it be if not for Lucien?

"This all, their show," she responds.

Lucien doesn't want to jump to conclusions about both the Water Spirit and the Leviathan, but Lust's words make some sense.

"If it solves our problems, I don't mind spending several days watching them," he comments aloud.

Everyone agrees that this incredible barrier would truly be a miracle now, so they attentively observe every move of the Water Spirit and the Leviathan in the sky.

The Water Spirit continues channeling the blue and green energies in the sky, causing the magical barrier to cover everything within a radius of thousands of miles.

They all count the seconds until two minutes pass, and the Leviathan falters again.

The creature's green light begins to lose its shine, but this time she doesn't roar and regain strength.

Yet, she glances at Lucien again, a look still fierce but this time exhausted.

"She's going down!!" Lucien instinctively releases Nea and flies towards the Leviathan.

He still remembers the torturous pain the creature caused him, but seeing she give everything to protect the Blue Star, he can't help but consider her an ally rather than an enemy.

Despite still being a gigantic, monstrous, and scary creature, the Leviathan is now exhausted and unconscious, weak, and completely vulnerable. Th?s chapter is updat?d by Nov?l??re.?et

Lucien doesn't know what he's going to do, after all, holding the massive serpent in his arms is not possible. Yet, he wants to try to help the allies who are helping him.

"Lucien!!!" The girls shout, worried about him.

But he continues flying towards the falling Leviathan from the sky.

The Water Spirit is aware of everything that is happening, and while still maintaining a hand channeling her energy into the barrier, she uses the other to signal Lucien, a clear sign for him to stop.

He halts in the air, not because of that signal, but because a voice resonates in his mind, a voice he has heard before.

"Wait." That voice is so sweet and gentle that it reminds him of another voice, a connection so absurd that it makes him question his sanity.

"Let me help!" Lucien shouts to the Water Spirit.

But before she responds, he sees water ropes coming out of the sea, holding the Leviathan's body in the air.

Then, within those magical water ropes, the Leviathan's body starts to glow in green and blue.

The most impressive part comes next when the Leviathan's body begins to change, its gigantic and monstrous features rapidly diminishing, making way for humanoid traits.

In a matter of seconds, the colossal draconic serpent transforms into a petite lady with demi-human but delicate features.

With another *BAM*, a large object emerges from the sea, the mysterious shell that trapped Lucien at the bottom of the ocean.

The shell opens, and inside it, the beautiful glass coffin is already open, awaiting the now humanoid body of the Leviathan, which is gently carried by the water ropes into the coffin.

The whole scene unfolds while the Water Spirit continues to strengthen the barrier in the sky, a demonstration not only of incredible power but also a natural kindness towards her allies.

As Lucien sees the Water Spirit place the Leviathan in the glass coffin and the shell closing, returning to the depths of the sea, he wonders about the connection between them.

And what is the connection between him and the Water Spirit?

So many questions arise in his mind, yet at the same time, the answers he desires are not as important as the imminent attack of the Shé Dragons and Gods.

Lucien looks back at the red spot in the sky, and its light begins to dim until it disappears completely.

"She did it!" Lust exclaims. "The planet is sealed."

"The portal is gone?" He asks.

"Yes," she quickly responds. "If their energy can't penetrate the barrier, they can't reach here."

"Incredible!" Lucien can't help but be even more impressed by the power of the Water Spirit.

"Unbelievable, indeed," Greed comments.

The other Sins share the same sentiment. Just as Lucien's victory over Tyrion was a miracle for the Mermaids and Nagas, the Water Spirit's barrier is an extraordinary feat for everyone who can grasp the magnitude of such an act.

Maya had a vast life's experience like the Sins, and even she has never witnessed anything like that, the full power of a Primordial.

As the portal of the Shé Dragons disappears from the sky, Lucien and his girls can breathe a sigh of relief; their enemies cannot attack now.

"Our Lady protects us..." Nea can't help but think aloud; her faith in the Water Spirit is a sentiment passed down through generations.

But the Sins don't share such faith, and Lust can't help but look at the Water Spirit with an inquisitive expression. "After Lucien saved her ass and her world, I'd say we're even."

Everyone else thinks the same way, and even Nea can't deny that; but do the Water Spirit knows what Lucien did for her? They wonder.

On the other hand, Lucien has other questions in mind, many of them. Now that the Shé threat is no longer imminent, he goes back to worrying about his previous enemy.

The once frightening and monstrous ancestral serpent is now a harmless girl inside the glass coffin, which disappears into the sea along with the Water Spirit's magical shell.

Just as Lucien is about to question the Water Spirit about her connection to the Leviathan, she looks directly at him as if she could sense his questions lingering around her.

Everyone notices the cold gaze of the Water Spirit on Lucien, which elicits various instinctive reactions.

Nea and Mira have faith in the Water Spirit, but the Sins can't simply trust one of the most mysterious beings in the universe.

They prepare for the worst and draw closer to Lucien; Pride even summons her white scythe while standing as close to Lucien as Lust, both ready to confront a Primordial by his side if needed.

"She's not our enemy." Saria quickly speaks the same Nea thinks.

But the Sins doubt that, and Envy quickly voices her concerns. "How can you be sure?"

"She seemed quite friendly with the Leviathan, a creature that wants to devour Lucien..." Lust comments.

Nea doesn't want to believe that the worst could happen; she already cares deeply for Lucien and would face any enemy by his side. But what if that enemy is the creator of her entire race and world?

"She must have a good explanation." Nea quickly remarks.

"I bet so." Greed comments sarcastically.

"Let's hear it anyway..." Gluttony adds.

Everyone has something to say, but Lucien remains strangely silent, his gaze fixed on the eyes of the Water Spirit.

Somehow, he feels that everything about her is very familiar, yet at the same time, he can't find any memories of her in his mind.

That's different from how he feels about his mother; he has clear memories of her voice and touch, even though he can't remember her face anymore.

Not only his gaze but everyone else's is fixed on the Water Spirit, and they see her slowly floating towards that tall tower, in the direction of Lucien and his girls.

Following the Sins' intuition, Lucien's sister and most of his wives prepare their weapons.

But he quickly signals them to stay calm. "She's not our enemy, I can feel it."

Nea is very happy that Lucien thinks that way, but the Sins disapprove of such blind faith.

"Whatever she says, you shouldn't just believe it," Pride advises him.

"She's right," Lust doesn't like admitting it, but she also wants the best for Lucien. "Remember that there are unknown people in the shadows trying to manipulate us..."

"And these Primordials might very well be those people," Envy quickly adds.

The number of questions in Lucien's mind grows rapidly, but as the Water Spirit approaches him, his urge to question her is replaced by feelings he doesn't comprehend.

The distance between them is now just a hundred meters, and the Water Spirit continues to float calmly towards him.

Nea, Saria, Mira, and even Kamala quickly bow; the desire to show respect to their creator is instinctive and powerful.

Lucien doesn't blame them, but he doesn't feel any urge to show such respect to the Water Spirit; their mysterious connection feels more natural and intimate.

The Water Spirit finally stops in the air a few meters away from Lucien, who is also floating in the air.

"My Lady," the Mermaids and Nagas greet her respectfully.

But the Water Spirit continues to stare at Lucien with a neutral yet slightly curious expression.

"..." Lucien doesn't say anything, and a strange silence fills the atmosphere.

He keeps his gaze fixed on the Water Spirit but briefly glances away, first giving a gentle and friendly look to Nea, Mira, and their daughters.

Then, the mysterious lady in blue casts a neutral look over Lucien's sisters and wives, ending with a hostile expression upon seeing the Sins standing beside him.

The tension in the air becomes palpable, as everyone has so many questions, but no one wants to be the first to speak. At the same time, they all wonder what such a mysterious person has to say.

After making her feelings somewhat clear about the women around Lucien, the Water Spirit looks back at him.

Her neutral expression doesn't seem entirely natural, evident in her tone when she speaks her first words out loud to him.

"Thank you."

Lucien didn't expect that response, nor did he anticipate the powerful wave of happiness that surged within him afterward.

He doesn't know how to respond, and he instinctively smiles, like someone who has just received a beautiful gift.
