The Soul System in the Apocalypse-Chapter 561: Surrender

"You have to be sure about what you are asking for, and be in the know of the consequences that will come later on. So, are you really willing to go to the fight to the death with the sea race of the southern domain?" The king asked. At the same time, he revealed his majestic aura, while looking at Henry solemnly.

"I don’t think there is any difference at the moment. In any case, we belong to different races. And at the end of it all, we are going to fight to the death nevertheless. After all, there can only be a single race in this world, and that is when the apocalypse is going to end." Henry responded nonchalantly.

Henry did not really care about the aura that was released by the king. To him, the king was not strong enough to be able to make him feel any sign of danger. Not to mention the fact that he possessed extreme experience from his past life, but it was also due to the fact that currently, he was definitely way stronger as compared to the king of the sea race.

The king’s expression changed after hearing what Henry had said. Of course, he understood that at some point in time, they would have to fight against each other, until only a single race remained to be the dominant one.

But he had not expected that he was going to start fighting with the humans. For this group of humans to be able to reach this far inside the sea, it was clear that they were strong enough. Just by looking at what had happened within the barrier that had been sealed by Henry, it was clear that the group that he had come together with was extremely strong.

The only problem was the fact that they did not know the real strength of the human race. Although they believed that the humans had definitely not managed to develop that much, but even then, nobody could tell considering that even the progress that the humans had made at this moment was definitely completely unexpected.

As a cautious man, he would always make sure he gets information about the opponents that he would be facing before facing them head on. And right now, he did not possess any information about the humans, but he understood that they were definitely the ones that had dominated the land at the moment.

For them to be able to defeat the other races, it was clear that they possessed enough strength. And of course, he did not believe that the power of the human race was just these few people that had come here.

Before the king could say anything, Henry looked around, before finally focusing in a certain direction. Then, he asked, "May I know where Klaus is? Could you be holding him as a captive or something like that?"

The king’s expression immediately changed after hearing that. Previously, he had found out that somehow, Klaus had been acting strangely. And for that reason, he had decided to put him under house arrest, as they investigated his movements. But in the end, he did not find anything after searching for a long time.

He did not understand what was going on, but he was cautious enough not to release Klaus even after more than a month had gone by. He had decided that only after they went to the land to investigate, could he release Klaus if they found that he was normal.

But they had not yet gone to the land, and now, land creatures had come here. And one of them even knew about Klaus. That indicated that they had definitely interacted with each other, and they definitely possessed a relationship. As for whether the relationship was hostile or friendly, that was something that he did not know as of now.

"What is your relationship with my son?" The king asked as he looked at Henry cautiously. At the same time, he prepared himself to attack just in case Henry made a move.

"It seems that you don’t want to answer the question that I asked. Since that is the case, then I think that I’ll just have to force you to do that." Henry stated.

Then in the next moment, the king suddenly felt that the surrounding area was suddenly contracting at a rapid speed. At that moment, his expression changed completely.

Among all the things that he had expected, he had never thought that Henry was going to attack in such a way. Previously, he believed that Henry was either a mage or a warrior. And true, Henry was a mage. But he had not expected that he actually possessed the ability to manipulate space.

Since he was not prepared for something like this, he delayed in acting. And for that reason, the space around him contracted, and he was put under immense pressure. He felt like he was going to be crushed into pieces if he continued staying like that.

Without hesitation, he immediately mobilized his energy. At the same time, he reverted back into his original form, a merman. In his original form, he was way stronger as compared to the time that he was in the human form.

In the next moment, a blue barrier suddenly erupted around the king. In the next second, it began expanding, while fighting against the contraction of the space around him.

The other members of the sea race could not tell what was happening, and they were surprised when they saw that the king was actually defending. They tried looking around, but no matter how much they tried, they could not see anything that would make the king defend. But even then, they took action, ready to attack Henry.

It was just that they had seen that Henry was still in the same position, and they believed that he was not the one who had attacked. So, they were not sure if they were supposed to attack him, or not.

But of course, among the group of people that were around at this moment, there was a group of people that could immediately tell what was going on. They were possessing great power, in their own world. In this world, it was clear that they were restricted, only allowed to be in the divine rank at level 9.

But even then, it was clear that the proficiency that they possessed was definitely high. And due to that reason, they were capable of realizing that Henry was actually utilizing the space element in order to be able to deal with the king.

At that moment, their expressions immediately turned grave. They had no expected to encounter something like this. It was also at this moment that they suddenly understood the reason why the humans were actually capable of arriving in this area, at the very center of the sea where the headquarters of the sea race was located.

It was clear that they had teleported here. Otherwise, they would have definitely received information about what was happening had they actually began fighting against the sea monsters from the shore of the sea until the time that they reached the center of the city.

Without hesitation, the six of them immediately took action. They could not allow the king to be killed. They were actually strong, and only second to the king when it came to combat strength. The only reason why they were not doing anything as to what the king decided on was simply because they had never thought that the situation was going to get this serious.

But the moment that they tried to act, they realized that just like the king, they were being compressed by space.

The space had began compressing the moment that they began mobilizing the energy in their bodies, ready to act. Just like the king, they had no choice but to revert to their original form. It was only then that they could finally manage to resist the pressure that they were feeling from the space.

Henry looked at the king whose expression had already shifted completely. He understood that no matter what, he was definitely not going to be capable of breaking the skill that has been utilized by Henry in order to compress the space around him.

"Are you going to talk or not?" Henry asked. At the same time, he began increasing the pressure of the space being compressed around the seven people. And as time went by, the seven immediately realized that if they did not answer, they were definitely going to get in trouble.

It was just that the six elders of the southern domain sea race could not say anything, as long as the king did not say it. Of course, they could try to convince the king, but they could not make the decision for the king.

The king also understood the current situation. If even they, the strongest among the members of the territory here were actually being restricted by just a single person, what would happen if this human actually decided to destroy this entire territory?

At that moment, he understood that it was definitely going to be difficult for him to be able to deal with the human race. That was especially so in case there was another person within the human race that was as strong as Henry was, or even stronger.

In the end, the king had no choice but to give in. He immediately informed Henry about what had happened, and where they were keeping Klaus. Of course, the reason why Klaus had been revealed to be having some abnormalities was due to his siblings.

The siblings were actually fighting for the position of the next king, considering that their father was already old. And so, at some point in time, he would have to retreat, and that was the time that they were looking forward to, so that they could take over the throne.

But of course, just a single one of them could take the throne, and not all. That was the reason why they were competing with each other.
