Chapter 294 The Merman
But even within these tsunamis, life still existed.
Certain flowing entities were known as liquid beasts.
Finished
They merged with the water, having almost no weaknesses. But due to the effects of time dilation, they had developed an extremely powerful crystal core capable of manipulating time flow.
Naturally, humans desperately wanted to obtain these cores.
However, spending just one hour on this planet meant seven or eight years passing in the outside universe.
Who would bear the burden of time slipping away, of being abandoned by the world?
The answer was obvious-twisted sentinels.
Those on the verge of losing their sanity, yet still capable of fighting until the moment of death.
Caspian Dudley had no idea how long he had been on this planet. The last shred of his rational mind only remembered his final orders.
Kill the liquid beasts, collect their crystal cores, and place them at the designated drop-off point.
Robots would come to retrieve the cores, not humans. These robots wouldn’t even communicate with the twisted sentinels.
And each time a robot came to collect the cores, 100 years had passed in the outside world.
Caspian counted in his mind. These robots had come one hundred times.
Out there, ten thousand years had passed in the blink of an eye.
But to Caspian, it didn’t feel that long. Maybe 100 days at most. Yet the loneliness was indescribable-sorrow and despair.
He felt his sanity weakening further, and the mutations in his body growing more severe. Hís skin had turned pale, and his legs had fused together and grown blue scales, becoming a massive deep-sea-colored fish tail.
His hair had turned deep blue as well, curling like seaweed floating in the ocean.
The tears he cried even turned into pearls.

them.
When would these days ever end?
Caspian felt abandoned by time, abandoned by the world.
But this was the fate of a twisted sentinel, wasn’t it?
Just as he was thinking this, a massive array appeared within the giant waves.
The array glowed with blue light and carried with it a powerful call, drawing him toward it.
That was… the presence of his Guide.
If he went there, he could save his own life.
As for his mission?
He had already been exiled. Why should he care about some mission?
Let those people assume he was dead.
He was going to live for himself.
Caspian flicked his fish tail and surged toward the array.
Inside the Stellar Dominion.
The array
emitted a blue glow.
Joanna had expected another massive creature.
That was why she had made the array over 300 feet wide this time.
But what emerged was a being roughly the same height as a human.
Seeing this semi-humanoid creature, Joanna was momentarily stunned.
Long, wavy blue hair. A face so breathtakingly beautiful it made one forget to breathe. A pair of ocean-blue eyes that gazed with deep emotion.
Scales at the corners of his eyes shimmered with a pinkish-blue iridescence. A blue fish tail swayed in the air. As he appeared, seawater naturally swirled around him, lifting him up.

She

rs who will fight, live, and survive together p>
ext moment, Caspian burst into tears.
Thank you for summoning me here p>
Tears spilled from his eyes and rolled down his face, transforming into pearls. The pearls tumbled playfully downward like mischievous children, trailing past his pale chest, over his lean yet defined abs, before finally being caught in his hand.
The pearl grew larger and larger, eventually looking like a quail egg.
Joanna was dumbfounded.
He looked so beautiful when he cried.
Beautiful enough to melt anyone’s heart.

“Hey, don’t cry. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of you.” Joanna immediately reassured him, stepping forward and releasing a calming aura.
She raised her hand, originally intending to pat Caspian’s head. After all, she always patted the fluffy ones on the head. But he clearly wasn’t fluffy, and he was quite tall.
Joanna considered floating up a bit.
But at the same moment, Caspian also raised his hand, offering the pearl to Joanna.
“I understand, Joanna. Thank you for summoning me back from that place of exile to the civilized Star Domain. It must have taken a great deal of effort p>
