“Just when the rumors about Ms. Reyes had finally died down, we heard there was a female on Merfolk Island who wasn’t afraid of the Clyssia Virus, and she was pregnant.
“Now we’re here, but all we see are mer eggs. We haven’t seen that female at all.
“We just want to ask you, Marshal Drake. Does that female who’s immune to the Clyssia Virus really exist?” one of the beastmen asked.
“Marshal Drake, we’re begging you, please don’t keep us in the dark anymore. We’re terrified, just tell us the truth, we’re begging you!” Another beastman said.
“Yeah, Marshal Drake, give us something to hold on to, something that makes life worth living!
“We just want to know, are there really any females left in this world? If not, what’s the point of any of this? Why should we even go on?
“Marshal Drake, we’re begging you,“another beastman chimed in.
Listening to the crowd’s desperate pleas, Austin turned to meet Nelson’s battered gaze.
When Nelson gave a slight nod of approval, only then did Austin turn back to the crowd and speak in a low, steady voice.
“That’s right. Just moments ago, there really was a female on Merfolk Island who’s immune to the Clyssia Virus. Her name is Lexie Goodwin, and she’s the biological mother of these three mer eggs.
“When she was giving birth, her body released a scent none of us had ever experienced before. That’s what made you all lose your minds and swarm this place.
“For her safety, we agreed to the request from the High Priest of the Snow Wolf Clan and let him take Lex.”
As Austin spoke, the crowd’s hopeful gazes grew dim as they looked at him.
But after just a moment, as if they suddenly remembered something, they hurriedly started asking questions again.
‘Marshal Drake, what happened just now was our fault. We didn’t want to just rush onto Merfolk Island, but the scent was so irresistible, we just lost control.
“We know we messed up, and we swear we won’t crowd around or cause trouble like this again.
“We’re sorry, really, we mean it.
“But Marshal Drake, we just need to know… will Lexie, that female, ever come back to us?”
Austin replied, “Yeah, she’ll be back. But honestly, we really don’t know when that’ll be
“Truth is, nobody even knows where the Snow Wolf Clan is hiding. Even if we did, it’s not like we could just show up and
look for her.
“Years ago, the Empire, the Federation, and the Snow Wolf Clan made a pact as long as their High Priest is still alive, nobody’s allowed to step foot in their territory unless they’re invited”
As soon as Austin finished speaking, the whole place fell silent.
Yeah, when the first High Priest’s prophecy came true, the Empire, the Federation, and the Snow Wolf Clan made a pact to

As long as the High Priest of the Snow Wolf Clan was still alive, nobody was allowed to go looking for their whereabouts, let alone disturb the High Priest.
But Lexie, that female, had finally appeared, and no one had even seen her face yet. And now, just like that, she was gone again…
Seeing the crowd’s downcast eyes, Nelson, sitting off to the side and fighting through his injuries, spoke in a steady, reassuring tone.
“Don’t worry, everyone. Lex will come back, I promise. After all, she’s the mother of these three mer eggs.
“As a mom, she’d never leave her kids behind.
“Just hold on a little longer. Who knows, maybe when these little mer eggs hatch, she’ll be back.
“But until Lex returns, the Federation and the Empire have decided to post her photo on the Interstellar Net and build a palace for her, a place she can truly call home.
“Not only that, to show our respect and welcome for Lex, the palace will combine the architectural styles of both the Federation and the Empire, aiming to create a residence that’s both majestic and warm.
“At the same time, strict security measures will be put in place around the palace, ensuring Lex and her children can grow up in absolute safety.
“By the way, we’ve decided to build Lex’s palace on the Central Planet, right between the Federation and the Empire.
“With Lex at the heart of it all, her presence will bring peace, there will be no more wars between the Empire and the Federation.
“Not only that, we’re making Central Planet the main hub, and setting up huge military academies all around it.
“First, to keep Lex safe. Second, we’ll handpick the top talents to join Lex’s elite guard squad, so she’ll always have the best protection.
“And that’s not all, we’ll build the finest medical center and the biggest business district on Central Planet, so Lex will always have something to do and never feel down.
*Plus, any decisions about Lex’s future will be put to a vote, everyone in the Federation and Empire gets a say.
“If you care about Lex, you can get involved and help keep her safe.
“You all know it in your hearts, Lex is the last hope for Aetherion Interstellar.
“As for Kaelen’s three mer eggs, since they haven’t hatched yet, there’s no way to know if they’ll be female or beastman.
“But honestly, it doesn’t matter. Whether they hatch as females or beastmen, thanks to their mom, they represent hope for
all of us.
“Because they were born naturally from their mother, they’ll never have to worry about gene disease again.
“Now that Lex isn’t on Merfolk Island anymore, if any of you want to get involved in building her palace on Central Planet, go home and start preparing.
“Alright, let’s wrap it up! Everyone, you’re dismissed!”
