I! Cleaner!-Chapter 1214 - 1104: The Disappearing Way Out

He actually yielded to the humans?

Watching his old comrade, who, for the safety of them both, chose to surrender to the Food God and changed the long-standing principle of not collaborating with humans, the other two ancestors couldn't help but be shocked, and their eyes immediately showed emotions of being moved.

"Don't agree with him!"

A head with snake hair swirling madly, only his head visible, the Tsunami Ancestor shouted angrily while glaring at the wicked Food God:

"Whether in the past or the present, our Sea Race's three champions have never bowed down to the Cleansing Bureau! And we never will in the future!"

"We appreciate your goodwill, but we don't need results obtained through compromise and submission."

Glancing emotionally at the old merman, the Tidal Ancestor declared with determination:

"The war between us and humans is only paused, not ended. No matter what, I don't want to be with humans..."

"You two, shut up!"

Seeing the two still not understanding the severity, the old merman couldn't help but shout, then hurriedly reminded:

"Evangelin! Evangelin!!!

If I'm not in the present world, she is the highest-ranking direct descendant of our Flowing Vortex lineage, capable of directly managing the ocean authority of the ancestors. Even Camilla can't control her, and that's when she'll start being reckless!

Plus, your nephew Andy always liked her, and your daughter Liao Sha is her close friend. Now, the three of them are the highest-ranking people in the entire Sea Race. If we three get stuck here, the entire Tidal Realm will become Evangelin's one-man show!"

"?!!!!" x2

Letting Evangelin control the entire Sea Race?!

After hearing the old merman's roar, the other two ancestors immediately realized, their faces full of deep terror.

They were more than familiar with the situation of the old merman's daughter, having "suffered much" from her. Although neither her mind nor personality was bad, she acted entirely on whims. If the Sea Race and Tidal Realm fell into her hands...

Wouldn't that be a complete disaster?!!!

"Go back! Hurry back!"

Imagining Evangelin taking power and whimsically controlling the entire Sea Race to satisfy her absurd ideas, the Tsunami Ancestor gasped, his snake hair curling up in fear.

"Quick, send us back! It will be too late if we delay any longer!"

Fools! If I could send you back, would I have bowed down to the Food God?

Seeing the old friends who, ignoring the entire Sea Race's danger, rushed to save him upon receiving the news, the old merman's face twitched in frustration. He wished he could beat these moving idiots to death with a blow, then immediately go back to half a day ago and take out the version of himself that surrendered under Evangelin's threat.

Knowing this, it would have been better to let her get together with the Food God! Let her torment me alone; it's better than her tormenting the entire Sea Race!

"Leon... sir..."

Struggling to open his stiff lips, unwillingly adding a respectful term after Leon's name, the old merman awkwardly spoke:

"You probably just need someone who can control water flow to help. It doesn't make much difference between one and three; could you... send the other two back first?"

"There's no rush for that."

Glancing at the two ancestors still trapped in the ice, unable to break free, Leon squinted and said:

"Flowing Vortex Ancestor, you would rather help me and want me to send these two back... So if I don't help, you can't do this alone?"

"Yes..."

Knowing that Leon would eventually discover this, it didn't make sense to deny it. The old merman nodded directly:

"There are strange elements in these sea waters; short-term contact is okay, but continuously touching them will cause our bodies and minds to slow down, eventually freezing us entirely, and the sea eye should be deep in this ocean..."

"Understood."

Recalling the sensation when he touched these sea waters after removing the [Ocean's Calamity], Leon nodded thoughtfully:

"If I don't help, upon contact with these sea waters, the water inside your bodies will slowly freeze, eventually turning you into a dehydrated ice statue, directly sinking to the seabed."

"Yes..."

Understanding the situation now.

With a trace of realization flashing in his eyes, Leon said nothing further. He directly picked up the "ice shell" that had fallen on the ground and put it back on the heads of the other two ancestors.

"It's agreed then, I'll send these two back, and you stay to help me find someone."

"Alright!"

Seeing that Leon, despite having the upper hand, didn't make any harsh demands and agreed to his proposal, the old merman's eyes showed a touch of gratitude, and he blushed, muttering softly:

"Tha..."

"No need to thank me just yet." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Leon gestured for them to skip the formalities, glanced at the old merman's awkward demeanor despite his age, then grabbed each ice block with indication:

"I'm just trying, not guaranteed to send them back... But since I'm trying, you'll have to keep your word; whether I'm successful or not, you must wholeheartedly help me find the person."

"Of course, of course!"

The old merman nodded repeatedly, then watched as Leon, holding two ice blocks, descended into the sea, unable to help but heave a breath of relief.

Even though he wasn't going back, and the Flowing Vortex lineage's authority would temporarily remain with Evangelin, with the other two sent back, it became two lineages against one, roughly able to suppress Evangelin's reckless behavior. The Sea Race at least wouldn't be harmed by his daughter.

And among the Sea Race's three authorities of "Vortex," "Tide," and "Surge," they always recognized bloodline over individual. When he returned to the present world after helping the Food God find those two missing directors, he could immediately retrieve the authority from Evangelin. At that time... Hmm?

"Splash!"

In the old merman's puzzled gaze, Leon, who had been underwater for less than ten minutes, surfaced with two ancestors covered in frost.

"I tried, but it didn't work."

Throwing the nearly unconscious, frostbitten ancestors onto the floating ice pillar, Leon climbed up, wringing his wet clothes, then explained with a frown:

"The sea eye was still in its original position when we came, but after passing through, it's not the sea bottom of this world, but a new area with only freezing seawater. It could likely be the Cold Spring Realm you mentioned."

"What?!!!"

Hearing this, the old merman was shocked, then quickly looked towards the two ancestors.

"Yes... it's like that..."

The Tidal Ancestor nodded shakily, affirming Leon wasn't lying. Beside her, the Tsunami Ancestor, teeth clattering, nodded with despair in his eyes, said:

"We... took off the ice shell... and checked, the present world... we can't go back anymore!"
