I walk sideways in the game world

Chapter 195: Victory at a Dangerous Path, the Siren Returns

Ren Xiaoyao slowly opened his eyes, a strange light flickering in them. He formed an ancient and mysterious seal with his hands across his chest, his fingertips pulsing with starlight. A powerful force slowly awakened within him, causing the very air in the room to tremble slightly.

"Xiaoyao, what are you doing..." Xia Lin noticed the unusual aura and asked worriedly.

"I need to take this opportunity to completely eliminate the threat of the Sirens." Ren Xiaoyao's voice was low and firm, as if carrying some kind of magic, which made Xia Lin involuntarily calm down.

He took a deep breath, his hands shifted into different hand gestures, and he began to softly chant an ancient incantation. The incantation was obscure and difficult to understand, yet it carried a strange rhythm, like a call from an ancient time, echoing through the room. As the incantation continued, Ren Xiaoyao's aura grew stronger, like a sun about to break through the clouds.

At the same time, thousands of miles away, deep in the sea, the Sea King suddenly felt a strong sense of unease. He suddenly opened his eyes, filled with fear and anger.

"Damn human! What does he want to do?!" The Sea King roared, and a powerful demonic power burst out from his body, stirring up waves of undercurrents on the seabed. He turned into a stream of light and rushed towards Ren Xiaoyao.

"Oh no! The Sirens King is coming!" exclaimed the crowd who had been paying attention to the situation on the sea.

"Don't worry, he can't stop Xiaoyao with me here." Xia Lin looked calm. A long sword emitting a faint golden light appeared in her hand. She flashed and headed towards the direction of the Siren King.

Above the sea, the waves surged, and two figures intertwined fiercely, stirring up a raging storm. Charlene, nimble and skillful with her sword, danced gracefully across the surface like a seagull, deftly neutralizing the Siren King's attacks time and again.

"Damn woman! Get out of my way!" The Siren King roared angrily, but was entangled by Xia Lin and could not escape.

On the island, Ren Xiaoyao's chant was nearing its end, and the light on his body had reached its peak. He suddenly opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes. He thrust his hands forward and roared, "Wrath of the Sea God!"

A dazzling golden beam shot up into the sky, piercing the clouds as if to tear the heavens apart. Wherever the beam passed, the sea churned, forming massive whirlpools, like a giant beast roaring beneath the sea. The once clear sky was instantly covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder flashed, the wind howled, and the sea surged with monstrous waves. The entire world seemed to be plunged into a scene of doom.

"Ah! What kind of power is this!" On the sea, some weaker sirens trembled in fear of this powerful force, and some even began to flee desperately.

The Siren King was also overwhelmed by this sudden surge of power. He had initially thought it was just a human trick, but he hadn't expected it to truly unleash such a powerful force. He struggled to resist the oppression, but the effort grew increasingly strained. His siren army began to riot, with some even attacking their own comrades in an attempt to flee the sea.

Ren Xiaoyao stood in mid-air, bathed in golden light, like a god descended to earth. He looked down at the Siren King and his voice, like rolling thunder, resounded through the heavens and earth: "Submit, or perish! I will give you one last chance!"

The Siren King suppressed his fear and anger, and said through gritted teeth, "Human, don't be so arrogant! This is our territory, don't even think about conquering us!"

"Stubborn!" Ren Xiaoyao snorted coldly and waved his hand. The power of the golden light column surged again. The sirens on the sea surface let out wails, and some were even crushed into powder by this force.

"Did you see that? This is what will happen to you!" Ren Xiaoyao's voice was icy and ruthless. "Your stubborn resistance will only lead to the deaths of your people! As long as you submit to me, I can guarantee that your people can continue to survive in this sea area. Moreover, I will grant you even greater power!"

The Siren King looked at the apocalyptic scene before him, listening to the desperate cries of his people, and for the first time, his heart wavered. He did not want to submit to humans, nor did he want to lose his territory and freedom, but he could not watch his people being slaughtered.

"I..." The Siren King opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Ren Xiaoyao didn't urge him, merely standing there quietly, like a god wielding the power of life and death, awaiting his decision... The Siren King's massive body undulated on the sea, stirring up waves. He anxiously whipped his massive tail, the water slapping against his scales, but it couldn't quench his inner anxiety. The power Ren Xiaoyao unleashed was too overwhelming, so overwhelming that it filled him with despair, his heart torn between submission and destruction.

"What are you still hesitating about?" Ren Xiaoyao's voice seemed to come from the sky, with unquestionable majesty. "You should understand that time is running out."

The Sea Monster King raised his head and looked at Ren Xiaoyao, his eyes filled with fear and struggle: "Human, can you really guarantee that as long as I surrender, you will let my people go?"

"I swear on my soul," Ren Xiaoyao said in a steady and firm voice, "As long as you truly submit, I promise that your people can live safely in this sea. I will also grant you even greater power, allowing you to become the true masters of this ocean."

To enhance his persuasiveness, Ren Xiaoyao slowly raised his right hand, palm facing upward, and a golden flame ignited from thin air in his hand. This flame exuded an ancient and mysterious aura, and the surrounding seawater retreated in submission before it.

"This is..." The Siren King stared at the golden flame in horror, feeling an indescribable fear deep in his soul. He recognized it as a form of ancient divine power, awakened only by humans with powerful bloodlines and innate talents. But this human could control it so easily!

"Now, do you believe my promise?" Ren Xiaoyao retracted the flame, and the golden light dissipated, as if it had never appeared.

The Siren King fell silent. He knew he had no choice. The power displayed by Ren Xiaoyao had far exceeded his imagination. Continuing to resist would only bring disaster to his people.

"I... I am willing to surrender." The Siren King's voice was low and hoarse, filled with humiliation and helplessness.

Ren Xiaoyao nodded in satisfaction. This was exactly what he wanted. He knew that to survive in this perilous gaming world, he needed to possess sufficient strength. And the Siren King was exactly the power he needed most.

"Very good." Ren Xiaoyao's voice was calm. "Now, tell me, do you know the whereabouts of the artifact 'Heart of Poseidon'?"

The Siren King lowered his proud head, his former ferocity and arrogance now completely gone. He spoke slowly, a hint of bitterness in his voice: "I know..."

However, Ren Xiaoyao did not completely let down his guard. He knew that beneath this seemingly calm sea, there might be a deeper vortex hidden...

The Sirens King took a deep breath, as if making a difficult decision, and slowly spoke, "The 'Heart of Poseidon' is hidden in the deepest part of this sea, within a volcano that has been dormant for ten thousand years. It is a forbidden place for all Sirens, fraught with danger and unknowns. Even I have never set foot there..."

"Take me there." Ren Xiaoyao's voice was unquestionable. His sharp gaze seemed to penetrate the heart of the Siren King, making him dare not hide anything.

The huge body of the Siren King trembled slightly, and finally lowered his head, leading Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin to swim towards the dormant volcano deep in the ocean.

Along the way, all kinds of bizarre sea creatures swam around them, and the colorful coral reefs and seaweed formed a fantastic picture. However, Ren Xiaoyao had no time to appreciate this beautiful scenery. His eyes were always vigilantly watching his surroundings. He knew that the submission of the King of the Sea Monsters did not mean absolute safety.

"The volcano is just ahead." The Siren King's voice trembled. He stopped and his huge body blocked Ren Xiaoyao's way. "I can only take you here. I can't take you any further."

Ren Xiaoyao gazed at the volcano before him, a sleeping giant. Its pitch-black massif was riddled with crisscrossing cracks, from which streams of scorching air gushed, boiling the surrounding seawater. He knew the Siren King hadn't lied; within this volcano lay a terrifying force capable of annihilating everything.

"Xiaoyao, be careful." Xia Lin worriedly grabbed Ren Xiaoyao's hand. She could feel the oppression coming from the volcano. Even she felt palpitations at this power.

Ren Xiaoyao patted Xia Lin's hand, signaling her to rest assured. Then he turned to look at the Siren King and said in a deep voice, "Just wait here and don't go anywhere."

A trace of resentment flashed in the eyes of the Sea King, but it was quickly concealed. He lowered his head and whispered, "Yes."

Ren Xiaoyao ignored him and took Xia Lin's hand, heading straight for the volcano. With every step they took, the temperature around them rose, and so did the pressure, as if an invisible mountain were pressing down on them, making it difficult for them to move forward.

However, Ren Xiaoyao's steps remained firm, and there was a determined light in his eyes. He knew that the artifact was in this volcano, and he would get it no matter what the cost!

When they reached the foot of the volcano, an even stronger aura hit them, and Ren Xiaoyao felt as if his heart was about to stop. He knew he was very close to the artifact...

"This power..." Xia Lin's voice trembled a little. She held Ren Xiaoyao's hand tightly. "Could this be..."

"That's right," Ren Xiaoyao took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with excitement, "We're here..."
