South Ocean

South Ocean is a location that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-off comic series published by Archie Comics. A large oceanic division located on Sonic's World, South Ocean most likely is located south of the planet. In the Post-Super Genesis Wave timeline, it holds not only a division of the Great Blue Realm, but also the underwater city of Meropis.

Description
The South Ocean is a large oceanic division that is part of the Great Blue Realm. Assuming by its name, South Ocean most likely is located in the south of Sonic's World. It hosts the underwater city of Meropis, along with its kingdom and its City Guard force. Because of the Shattered World Crisis, a rift, dubbed the Anostos Rift, was formed not too far from Meropis. The sacred grounds of the Eusebes Temple is also located near Meropis.

The Great Blue Realm Egg Army, led by Akhlut, have been terrorizing the South Ocean division, as well, specifically at Meropis. The very reason Meropis has a shield is to shut off Akhlut and his army from claiming their land.

History
For an unknown time, Akhlut and his Great Blue Realm Egg Army have menaced the Great Blue Realm, and evidently, the South Ocean. This caused unsettlement amongst its residents, including Queen Angelica and King Puff of Meropis. At some point in the South Ocean, Meropis began experiencing trouble when the surround waters got polluted and Meropis' shields had trouble keeping the contaminated waters out. When the Shattered World Crisis occurred a few months later, South Ocean was one of the areas affected by this catastrophe, causing Dark Gaia Monsters to infect the seas at night.
