The explosion the MDT carried out had succeeded in destroying the portal, and now the deep-sea maelstrom had gone. However, that was not the end—something was wrong with the water body.

The waves of riptide began to gather from all directions, which appeared odd, as it was different from normal water activities. Sea temperature fell rapidly, which again was an odd phenomenon. The siren queen raised her head in alarm. Scales below her cheeks glimmered in pale-blue light. She said, "I have sensed something out there... something's awakening... A consciousness is watching us!"

Hao Ren quickly picked up the radio. "MDT! Something's wrong here. What can you see?"

There was interference in the radio. "The sea is changing shape... two streams of cold air are forming in the north and south poles concurrently. The sea is behaving weirdly. Something's on your way! Get the hell out of there quickly!" the MDT told.
