however she noticed that new fissures
appeared periodically allowing more sea
demons to emerge even as they consumed
one another it became increasingly
difficult for her to cope point one day
the EM inadvertently discovered that the
stone tablet Reef left by the Sea God
could absorb spiritual energy guon tion
immediately thought of the sea god after
rescuing the M he had placed this Reef
over the black hole indicating that he
was aware of its properties yet he had
not revealed this crucial information to
her this implied that the sea God had
already devised a contingent plan for
the MN anticipating her obedience and
leaving the abyss did he doubt her
ability to endure prolonged Solitude or
was he reluctant to subject her to such
suffering chapter 5:15 the koi. G onon
watched as the MN experimented
repeatedly ultimately discovering the
correct method to suppress the black
hole indeed the Fishers in the ocean
floor ceased to proliferate during
specific intervals that night the M
danced joyfully amid the bubbles
repeatedly murmuring see God did you
underestimate me I am the ninth princess
of the merfolk what challenge could
possibly defeat me gonon felt a Pang of
bitterness deeply moved yet again from
that moment onward the M transmitted
spiritual energy nightly utilizing the
Great Reef to suppress the black hole
and the Fishers truly did not worsen I
in this EB and flow she grew more
capable of confronting the sea demons
becoming the genuine Mistress of the
Dead Sea the MN along with gu tantion
gradually realized that the true Terror
did not lie in the sea demons but rather
in the catastrophic consequences of this
forbidden zones disappearance would this
black hole expand into a genuine Abyss
unleashing a horrifying Force capable of
obliterating the entire continent the
answer was unequivocally yes thus she
had to remain Vigilant here day after
day year after year on fortunate
occasions she would encounter one or two
perceptive humans alleviating her
Solitude for the MN her aesthetic
existence was both a Penance for herself
and a means of atoning for her Beloved
the sea God had derelict his duty and
she was uncertain of what trials lay
ahead she wished to assist him jonon
fleetingly experienced the MN Solitude
over the course of several Millennia her
days were consumed by Slumber slaying
sea demons absorbing their Essence and
suppressing the black hole she felt as
though she were ens snared in this cycle
embodying the MN striving for Redemption
point one day as was her custom she sat
upon the reef basking in the Moonlight
channeling spiritual energy through the
stone tablet Reef to suppress the black
hole and savoring the Tranquil glow of
the Moon suddenly she heard a faint
sound as if someone were calling
out who was it who was calling for
tontion and who was tontion just as she
contemplated this a large resplendant
koi fish floated before her it spoke po
posing an absurd question do you choose
one or two without hesitation guon tion
instinctively replied one she simply
felt that one was comforting and
familiar the koi's radiance intensified
indeed a favored child of Fortune the
koi grinned releasing a bubble that
enveloped her beneath the radiant
Moonlight by the Dark Water Hole lay a
human girl with her eyes tightly shut a
palm-sized golden mouse and a black cat
surrounded her incessantly calling
tontion the girl suddenly opened her
eyes her gaze calm and untroubled
reminiscent of an elder who had
weathered the storms of life gianan had
finally awakened under the Ko's
nonsensical question she had
fortuitously chosen the correct answer
or else she would have remained trapped
within the M's memories eternally at
that moment the minin cradled an
oval-shaped Golden Pearl in a days that
was the heart of the koi she realized
