After settling everything inside the Chile Military Base, Kai stood next to the runway and watched how the plane that brought Michelle and the others back took off.
Kai only waved his hand and stayed in this base for a moment due to one reason.
"Sir," a soldier called him.
Kai glanced at the soldier and smiled. "Do you need me?"
"I would like to inform you that the base has started making its way to the other two bases to start the process of restoration."
"That's good. For the time being, you can think there won't be any big war like the one we had not long ago." Kai nodded. "Just proceed with the plan suggested by the headquarters. As long as you watch the perimeter, the base should be restored within months."
"Yes."
"Then, it's time for me to go." Kai snapped his fingers as a pink magic circle formed beneath his feet. He waved his hand and disappeared.
His disappearance had been told to others, so Kai could do everything he needed in order to defeat the Sea Race.
And the place he visited to do that was a beach. The beach in the corner of Chile where he tossed the red-colored gem he received from Ishii into the water.
The wave sucked the jewel deep into the ocean as if the water was alive.
After waiting for five minutes, he suddenly saw a change on the surface. On the water not far from his position, there was a small blue platform that could fit several people inside.
Knowing that this was an invitation from the one he visited, Kai used his Sound Blast to launch himself into the air and landed safely on top of this blue platform.
Surprisingly, the platform started moving as soon as it felt Kai's presence, bringing him to the deeper water.
After one kilometer, Kai suddenly picked up a loud sound coming from the edge of his hearing range.
In that instant, he realized the jewel was the key to meet the Whale Queen. After all, there wasn't a single creature bigger than the Whale Queen around this place.
Kai waited a bit more since the platform carried him to the Whale Queen. When he saw a five hundred meters long giant whale, his heart began racing. He never saw a creature this big other than the snake in Russia. However, it was a different matter when the other party was a Protector.
Their eyes intertwined as Kai gulped down, wondering what kind of person the Whale Queen was.
Suddenly, a voice entered his head.
"It's the first time we met…" The voice was that of a female, but he noticed some cracks on it as if the whale had trouble talking due to her age.
"Yes. I am Kai Carter. It's my pleasure to meet the Whale Queen." Kai nodded with a serious expression.
"Whale Queen, huh. That's the nickname that has been given to me by many people… Sorry, but I can't give you my name. It's not like I don't want to. It's just that I have long forgotten my name." The Whale Queen replied slowly.
Kai smiled and nodded. "I understand. Please think no more. Name is just something that we use to call others easier. There are only you and me here, so there's nothing wrong with that. However, I would like to apologize if my words are rude or anything since I am not that good at talking politely."
"That's fine. Talking politely is tiring. As long as I understand you, and you understand me without any intention in offending the other party, that's enough."
"Thank you." Kai then waved his hand. "I have come here because of someone's instruction."
"I understand. Even if you don't throw the jewel I gave to that brat, I would have invited you if you just stood on the beach."
Kai then asked, "In that case, I have a question. For what reason did you invite me? What do you wish to talk about?"
"There are several things you need to know regarding the Ancient Pact, especially the war. Two protectors are clashing against each other… That alone is enough to shake the world. That's why there is an Ancient Pact that binds us to avoid destroying this planet.
"I will tell you everything later. For now, I want to say three things before inviting you underwater."
"Please ask." Kai nodded.
"To what extent will you take this war?"
Kai raised his eyebrows. He thought this would be the second or third question, but to think this was the least important one, he was impressed.
For this question, he already knew what he wanted, so he stated, "You should know that we can't really venture into the bottom of the ocean. No, we can, but it's not possible to fight there. My future power may allow me to do something about this, but if they surrender, that's enough for me.
"Of course, I can't stand the Mermaid Race, so I will eliminate only that race while leaving those under their commands go," Kai answered with a genuine expression, showing that he wouldn't continue his massacre if he had fulfilled his objective.
"The Mermaid Race and the Human Race have been in conflict for so long. I can understand your sentiment…"
"No, I think you misunderstand my intention." Kai shook his head. "I am not someone who clings to the past. I simply wish to eliminate future problems without disturbing the Earth's environment. I know that this life will end at some point, so I don't wish for the future generations to bear the result of my naivety."
"That's good enough for me." The Whale Queen agreed after several considerations. "I can help you to establish your goal if you kill Neptune. However, I won't partake in the current conflict because of the Ancie Pact restriction."
"I appreciate your thought, but I need to ensure it myself…"
"Sure." The Whale Queen didn't bother with that topic anymore and continued, "The second thing is your Magic Particles and Mystic. Are you aware of these two yet?"
"Yes." Kai nodded without hesitation. "I am aware."
"Thank you for your honesty. Though, I already sense your Mystic Power, considering you are manipulating Magic Particles instead of the sound. However, I need to make sure your understanding is as deep as Neptune…"
"I have King Gilgamesh's record," Kai answered in a roundabout way, telling her that he already knew everything.
"…" The Whale Queen fell silent for a moment and nodded. "In that case, I won't say anything regarding your Magic Particles and Mystic. All I wish is for you to gain enough strength to fight Neptune on equal ground. I don't cheer for any particular race, so I want you to know that.
"The third question will be regarding your Altar and Crown Jewel." She paused for a moment. "I know that you don't know its whereabouts, but I can assure you that your Altar and Crown Jewel are not destroyed nor possessed by another race.
"It's simply stored in another place because the Altar and Crown Jewel are indestructible and have the power to repel any race from coming near it, including protectors. That's why I hope you can search for it and assimilate yourself with one as soon as possible."
"Thank you for your advice." Kai nodded, not saying anything about Emulda Kalan.
The Whale Queen wasn't intended to say anything about them as well, since she was unaware of them.. She simply said, "Then, let me invite you to a place under my rule."
