Chapter Seventy-Eight
Crow stood silently atop his floating base, arms crossed, overlooking the endless landscape below.
A thin smile touched his lips.
"Soon..."
He remembered clearly — in exactly one week, a major ocean update would arrive.
The barren lands would be reshaped. Vast oceans, mighty rivers, and endless coastlines would appear.
New territories, hidden treasures, terrifying sea monsters... and most importantly —
A Mermaid Village.
Crow closed his eyes, recalling the details:
The Mermaid Village would have hundreds of A and S Rank units. A few hidden SS Rank and even SSS Rank mermaid heroes would be available for recruitment. A Divine Rank Mermaid Queen would sleep at the heart of the village, sealed behind an ancient ritual.
Crow's heart pounded with excitement.
In his past life, players fought bitterly over scraps of the mermaid race.
Now?
Now he would take it all before anyone even realized the event had started.
He had the forces.
He had the knowledge.
He had the overwhelming strength.
The mermaids would bow to him.
The oceans would belong to him.
Crow opened his status window again, watching the time tick down.
Seven days left.
He whispered,
"Prepare yourselves. The sea will have a new king."
