Chapter 936: There Can Only Be One King Of The Sea [Part 2]
King Oceanus, who was now over ten meters tall, narrowed his gaze upon seeing that, despite the heavy bombardment, none of the attacks managed to even faze the young man, who was looking at the Naga Prince in disdain.
A few minutes later, the bombardment finally ceased, leaving the Ocean Races with solemn expressions on their faces.
"I\'ll deal with you, later," Ethan said to the Naga Prince before shifting his gaze to the Colossi in front of him. "I will give you a chance, Oceanus. Bow down to your rightful liege, and I can let bygones be bygones."
"Me? Bow down to you?" King Oceanus sneered. "You\'re not qualified!"
With the force of an avalanche, the Colossi charged forward, his Trident covered in golden lightning.
Illumina, who had safely returned to the City Walls, anxiously clenched her fists as she did her best to hold back from returning to the battlefield.
She knew that King Oceanus wasn\'t fighting with his full strength earlier, given that he didn\'t specialize in using long-ranged attacks.
No.
The Colossi of the Sea was known for his superhuman strength and incredible close combat prowess, which shone during the Great War before Atlantis vanished from the world.
Even the Progenitors didn\'t dare to take one of his direct attacks because it was imbued by the power of the Sea.
"Die!" King Oceanus roared as he thrust his giant trident that was covered in golden lightning toward the young man, who was challenging his authority and dignity.
The sound of two metallic weapons clashing against each other spread in the surroundings.
Ethan blocked the Colossi\'s attack with his Sea God\'s Trident. Funnily enough, he was only using one hand to hold his weapon.
However, that was enough to make King Oceanus\' face turn grim, for he expected this clash to instantly obliterate Ethan from the face of the world, turning him into meat paste.
To his surprise, the young man didn\'t even budge or take a step back after their two weapons clashed with each other.
As someone who prided himself in his strength, this was something that King Oceanus couldn\'t accept.
The sea trembled, and the waters around the Colossi started to morph into giant bladed weapons, which all moved to strike the teenage boy whose eyes had now started to shine with a bluish light.
When the weapons were about to hit his body, several angelic wings unfurled from the young man\'s back and blocked the weapons that attacked him from different directions.
"There can only be one King of the Sea," Ethan said softly. "And that King isn\'t you."
Before King Oceanus could even reply, Ethan suddenly thrust his Sea God\'s Trident which had been blocking King Oceanus\' Trident.
To everyone\'s surprise, Ethan\'s push sent King Oceanus flying backward to the Naga Prince\'s fleet. He crashed into their Flagship, splitting it in half.
Princess Ariel\'s mouth opened wide in disbelief.
Her Flagship was right beside the Naga Prince\'s, so she was able to see the destruction that followed after King Oceanus crashed into the ship\'s body.
If the one who was sent flying was an ordinary person, Princess Ariel and everyone in the War Council could still accept it.
But, the one that was sent flying was no ordinary person.
He was King Oceanus, the Colossi who ruled the sea with his might.
In just a single exchange, he was sent flying by a young man whom they were seeing for the first time.
The Mermaid Princess shifted her gaze to the young man in the distance. A blush could be seen on her beautiful face as she looked at the imposing person, who was standing as if he were the King of the Sea.
Six pairs of angelic wings could be seen on his back and the majestic aura that covered his entire being made the Mermaid Princess feel her heart beat wildly inside her chest.
Suddenly, a roar filled with anger rose from the Naga Prince\'s destroyed flagship.
King Oceanus reappeared and charged at the young man like a cannonball. This time, his entire body was covered in golden lightning, looking like a Wargod who had descended from the heavens.
Ethan looked at the Colossi, whose face had turned beet red out of anger and embarrassment, before taking a black cauldron out of his storage ring.
The black cauldron that was in Princess Ariel\'s possession trembled as if sensing a familiar presence in its surroundings.
But before the Mermaid Princess could understand why her artifact was acting this way, the teenage boy and King Oceanus disappeared from the battlefield at the same time.
When King Oceanus regained his senses, he found himself in a flower field under the night sky.
A full moon hung in the sky and seemed to be looking down on the Colossi with pity.
Ethan might have made his attack look simple earlier, but it only looked simple on the surface.
He was actually using the combination of his three Legacies at the same time, showing everyone an invincible persona.
Mimir\'s Wisdom.
Ashmedai\'s Desire.
Arariel\'s Authority.
And the Legacy of the Tide Bringer.
Merging these Legacies into one powerful strike made Ethan look like a War God who wouldn\'t lose in a one-on-one battle.
But, the reality was different.
A Colossi wasn\'t an easy opponent, so he decided to take the battle to a place where he had the ultimate advantage.
Now that the Colossi was taken to a place outside of the Sea, his overall combat prowess was decreased significantly.
But that wasn\'t all.
The Domain of the Twilight was perfect for one-on-one battles because the Domain itself would absorb the target\'s magical powers, transferring it all to Ethan, and allowing him to recover his stamina and magical power easily.
"Hmph!" King Oceanus harrumphed as he raised his Trident to unleash his own Domain.
But to his surprise, nothing happened, making him frown.
"I already heard about your Great Plan," Ethan said as he hovered in the sky, with his wings flapping behind him. "And frankly, I think you have a high chance of success… on the condition that I\'m not around."
"Just who are you?" King Oceanus no longer treated the teenage boy in front of him like a random passerby, but a powerful individual who could threaten his life.
"Ethan," Ethan replied. "Ethan Gremory."
"Are you Lleu\'s son?" King Oceanus inquired.
When Ethan earlier declared that he was the Tide Bringer, the Colossi didn\'t take him seriously.
But after the previous incident, he knew that there was a possibility that the bloodline of the Tide Bringer truly flowed inside Ethan\'s veins.
"I\'m not his son," Ethan replied. "I am his Grandson."
A silence that lasted for a full minute descended inside the Domain before King Oceanus took a fighting stance.
His entire body turned golden, and his body size doubled, standing at twenty meters tall.
"Since you are part of that hateful bloodline, you are not allowed to live," King Oceanus declared.
"Oh, really?" Ethan arched an eyebrow. "Then I guess I\'ll have to see whether you have the ability to back up those words or not."
The young man sneered and the moon in the sky turned crimson.
Two Constellations appeared in the night sky.
Suddenly, King Oceanus sensed that he was no longer alone with Ethan inside the Domain.
An Eight-Headed Hydra and a handsome man with a snake coiled around his body appeared on his left and right sides.
"Scoundrel!" King Oceanus roared. "Are you mocking the honor of this duel?!"
"You\'re not qualified for an honorary duel," Ethan sneered.
He had seen how the Colossi had forced Illumina to make a choice to either dodge or watch as his kingdom was destroyed by Oceanus\' attack.
Since his opponent liked to play dirty, he would teach him a lesson and make him understand that Ethan could also play that game.
Sebastian roared as he lunged at the Colossi with fury.
Ethan\'s Other Half chuckled as he joined the battle to help his partner in crime.
Ethan, on the other hand, smirked as he summoned Dainsleif to join the fray.
King Oceanus could only curse in anger as he faced the powerful beings, whose battle prowess was only slightly lower than his own.
Meanwhile, the Golden Egg inside the Morrigan\'s Ring started to stir.
"I smell something delicious," the Golden Egg said. "I guess it\'s time to sneak out for a bit."
The Golden Egg hadn\'t eaten for a long time, so the moment it sensed a powerful presence, it woke up from its slumber.
It turned invisible and sneakily jumped out of Ethan\'s ring.
Since the young man was focused on the battle, he didn\'t see the mischievous golden egg leave his storage ring.
Using the flower field as cover, the Golden Egg chuckled evilly as it watched the battle unfold before its eyes.
It would wait for the perfect opportunity to strike, then devour the power of the Colossi who was cursing its Master for being shameless.
