I couldn’t resist reaching out to touch the luminous orb, but damp webbed fingers soon grasped my
wrist.
Mary was staring at it as well, but spoke quietly, “ Don’t touch it—you’ll die. Those things are a
protectiveyer that prevents nuclear radiation from destroying the passage.“
“Nuclear radiation?“ I eximed in surprise as I came to immediate realization. “Would you mind
borating, Mary? I once dreamed about arriving at the merfolk’s, and that ce… became a

mass grave under the sea. Forgive me for asking, but does that have something to do with nuclear
radiation as well?“
“Yes, it does.“ Mary sobbed as she lowered her head miserably. “You’re not from that era, but you
would probably be aware of the nuclear bombs dropped on Japan. I tried to take my mother back to
the home of the merfolk at the time, but it had fallen as well.
Everything you saw was real, and what was once home is now a huge graveyard—just like the citizens
of Hiroshima, the merfolk there were instantly reduced to fossils and wiped out like the dinosaurs! “
I shook my head in disbelief. I could not believe what Dicken had shown me, that our world’s war had
led to the piles of corpses in the merfolk’s realm.
And Dicken was now the leader of a race facing extinction.
”How is that possible…?” I murmured.
Mary was even more miserable at that. ”Of course, because our domain is hidden at the Earth’s core !
I t’s an independent ecosystem, and every oceanic trench leads to it. That was why the fallout of the
atomic bomb directly moved there, and now, the merfolk civilization spoken of in legends no longer
exists — all that is left of us is our leader, and some newborns that were unaffected by the radiation.
Even so , the humans are not going to let us be, and have set their sights on us once again! “
There was a mess of emotions churning within me. The truth was crushing me—suffocating me—but
all I could do was clench my knuckles and control that turmoil while I asked, ”Where is Kalimadi? Your
leader has asked him to open the passage, or once humans destroy this ind, your only home would
be destroyed as well.”
Mary promptly nodded solemnly, and I watched as she swain to the entrance of that cavern, looked up
and spread her eyes, as if waiting for the arrival of a god. She craned her long, thin neck, humming a
high- pitched, beautiful tune that echoed in the cavern like an ancient war horn.
Soon, I felt the cave shaking, and a ck silhouette slowly floated out of the cavern entrance. Its
blood- red eyes stared at Mary once before turning towards me, and soon he turned towards me and
lowered his head like Dicken did —just like a dutiful minister’s gesture of respect to his king.
It left me a little awkward since thest meeting was apletely different scene, because I seemed
to have been mistaken for Dicken’s mate. As such, I braced myself and said, ”Mr. Kalimadi, your
leader needs you to open the gateway to your world. There are still many merfolk who have been
captured.”
Somehow, Kalimadi did not need Mary to trante and simply nodded humanly at me. Then, his
massive form dived agilely into theke and disappeared in no time at all.
Mary promptly pulled me by the arm to drag me out of theke. We had barely gotten out when a
massive tide surged out from the depths, with the blue luminous orbs gathering and building up a blue
cyclone over theke. Soon, everything around us began to shake violently, and fissures split the
ground with a loud rumble.
I saw in shock that a dark slit had opened at the bottom of theke , just like a pitch -ck eye of an
ancient behemoth opening.
The cavern around us began to copse, the walls falling apart as boulders mmed down towards
us. However, the blue cyclone raged immediately as well, shooting out like a geyser to lift both me and
Mary into the air, and I felt the world spinning around us right then.
