Chapter 1649: Reinforcements Arrive
White Stella’s ability to withstand Seiron’s strike did not come from her own strength, but from the Royal Trident she wielded.
It carried a trace of the Magus World mermaid overlord’s power.
In this world, foundations and connections mattered.
Faeloria’s God of Justice had attempted to uncover the Spider Queen’s true nature, only to be gravely wounded by a sliver of an overlord’s power that her adoptive father had secretly planted within her.
The incident had also cost the Goddess of Luck nearly half her lifespan, leading her to reconsider her alignment and altering Faeloria’s future in unpredictable ways.
It remained unclear whether White Stella herself carried any hidden power planted by an overlord, but the Royal Trident she wielded undeniably carried a trace of an overlord’s power.
Bearing half the bloodline of the Magus World mermaids and having been personally groomed by Avril as her successor, White Stella was able to wield a portion of the Royal Trident’s might!
The faint pallor on her face revealed that she had suffered significant backlash from the earlier clash of power.
An overlord’s power was not something that could be controlled easily.
That said, White Stella’s naturally fair complexion made the signs of strain less noticeable.
With a cold snort, Seiron swung his weapon fiercely at White Stella once again.
“Leave, NOW!” White Stella issued a sharp command to the narwhal, then met Seiron’s attack head-on.
