Themis returned to the deep sea.
She first arranged some affairs in her territory, the city of Xy’rath, and dispatched personnel to continue gathering information about the mainland.
Xy’rath was merely a small underwater city, as there were too few intelligent races in the deep sea. The truly grand cities existed only under the rule of the Sea Mother.
Following this, she traveled to the depths of the ocean, to the place where the Sea Mother resided, to pay her respects.
There was the largest city in the deep sea—Medelbund.
Countless marine races could be found there.
There were intelligent races, and there were marine magical beasts.
They all submitted to the great ruler of the ocean, the Sea Mother!
The Sea Mother spoken of by Themis was actually a super-giant monster, thousands of meters long, combining features of tentacles, jellyfish, whirlpools, scales, suction cups, and whales. Countless gaping maws opened and closed on her enormous body, inspiring fear.
Looking at these features alone, many would consider her a magical beast, but this Sea Mother possessed extraordinary intelligence.
Her name was Charybdis, and she was a being at the peak of demigod status, significantly weaker than the former Titan King Amisus, but still extremely powerful.
The sea race and the deep-sea kingdom she had established were actually on the path to creating a divine kingdom on land!
When Themis arrived at the Sea Mother's grand palace and reported the information about the east coast and the Winged, as well as the current state of the Titans and Dragons,
The Sea Mother Charybdis was extremely surprised. She had not expected that the once incomparably powerful Titan God race and the Ancient Dragon race would decline so drastically.
She began to seriously consider the suggestion of attacking the mainland given by her eldest daughter Themis.
Although she herself had little interest in the mainland, she intended to ascend to godhood based on her deep-sea kingdom.
The entire deep-sea kingdom was her foundation. But while the deep-sea territory was vast, the population and number of races were limited.
Although the Sea Mother Charybdis resembled a monster, her daughters, born through asexual reproduction, all resembled the Titans in appearance, each possessing exceptional beauty.
As a mother, she naturally had to think about her daughters' future.
If her young daughters were also to become deities after she ascended to godhood, the mainland would undoubtedly be a good choice.
And if she wished to establish an oceanic pantheon in the future, her daughters would be her best helpers.

She ultimately accepted her eldest daughter’s proposal.
They could first attack the east coast, launch a war, rightfully and forcefully drive out the Winged, and gain a foothold on a corner of the mainland.
Themis was appointed by her as the person in charge of this war.
At the same time, she proposed a suggestion for Themis to carry out.
In the spring of the goblin empire’s calendar, year 1051,
A delegation of the sea race, legendary in ancient times, led by the sea race's Third Princess, Melor, arrived in the goblin capital, Proadas, to visit the goblin race.
The goblins expressed great curiosity about the sea race, who had only existed in legends and had never been seen before.
And when the sea race arrived in Proadas and saw the city gate cast from the head of a Thunder Titan, they gained a greater understanding of the current rulers of the mainland, the goblin race.
Afterward,
The sea-race delegation was received by the sixth goblin emperor, Lyon Amiguel, and presented him with a large number of rare treasures found only in the ocean.
They wished to establish diplomatic relations with the current rulers of the mainland, the goblin race.
Melor’s repeated mentions of the "rulers of the mainland" and the mainland's treasures made the goblin emperor Lyon Amiguel very happy.
Finally,
The sea race proposed that the new rulers of the mainland, the goblin race, should inherit the eternal oath that had once been established between the Titan God race and the sea race.
Lyon Amiguel readily agreed.
Then, the sea race's Third Princess stated that, according to the oath, the coastal lands of Ferland belonged to the sea race and requested that the goblin emperor issue an imperial edict to have the Winged relinquish the east coast.
This put Lyon Amiguel in a difficult position.
The east coast Winged were one of the most powerful allied races since the founding of the goblin empire.
Although the goblin empire's prestige had greatly declined and the various races of the continent were gradually ceasing to regard the empire as important,
Including the Winged.
If he did so, it would undoubtedly push the Winged, who were already not very obedient to the empire, completely to the opposite side.
Just as he was in a dilemma!
His favored courtier, Marquis Mika, spoke in advice.
“Your Majesty, the Winged race has long ceased to be loyal to the empire and has gradually grown stronger. A few years ago, when your father campaigned north into the desert, the Winged did not send a single soldier. He had no choice but to call upon the Hawkmen tribes, who gathered over ten thousand Hawkmen warriors to go north!”
“Even so, after the war ended, the Winged sent a protest to the empire, expressing their dissatisfaction with the empire’s support of the Hawkmen.”
“They are merely subjects of our race, yet they dare to be dissatisfied with their sovereign. It is clear that they have long been disloyal.”
“Why not follow the sea race’s wishes and issue an imperial edict ordering the Winged to withdraw from the east coast!”
“The Winged will certainly not comply, and the sea race will surely use this as a reason to attack the Winged.”
“Let these two races fight among themselves and deplete their strength. We only need to await the outcome.”
“What if the sea race wins?”
“We will call upon the various races of the continent to drive them out. If the sea race wishes to come ashore, they are likely harboring designs on the mainland!”
“What if the Winged win?”
“Then Your Majesty can simply issue an apology. The empire’s prestige is already in this state anyway.”
“Very well, then do as you say!”
…….
In the summer of the goblin empire’s calendar, year 1051,
Sophia in Uriel City nearly ground her silver teeth to dust after receiving the edict from the goblin emperor Lyon Amiguel!
“Damn goblin dwarves, how could he say such shameless words!”
She reported the contents of this edict to Jano upon the Platinum Throne.
Even the usually calm Jano was silent after seeing the goblin emperor’s edict.
“Do the goblins still consider themselves the masters of the continent?”
After thinking for a moment, Jano made a decision.
Three days later,
Losendas.
The east coast.
Uriel City!
Sophia, holding aloft the Lava Longsword, denounced the injustice of the goblin race.
Then, facing the moon in the high sky, she declared the Winged race’s independence, no longer subordinate to the goblin empire, and established the Winged Kingdom!
Also known as the Kingdom of Losendas!
