The Sea God Descends in Person, Agares in Peril

Vassago followed behind, spreading out his spiritual power as he headed straight for the Sea God Inheritance grounds.

"What big brother wants is divine material."

Vassago spoke as he walked.

"The Sea God Inheritance is inside. Take it and leave. Don't get caught up in a fight."

Agares nodded and kicked open the doors to the inheritance hall. Dark purple light swept through the hall, and sure enough, he saw a cluster of deep blue light in the shape of the Sea God Trident floating above the stone platform at the very center. Its divine presence was thick enough to weigh down on him.

He reached out to grab it.

Just as his fingertips were about to touch the Sea God Trident, the whole of Sea God Island shook violently.

At that moment, the sky suddenly darkened.

A massive vortex slowly took shape among the clouds, and a majestic voice abruptly rang out from its center.

"Insolence!"

The vortex in the sky grew ever deeper. As clouds churned, a towering figure gradually appeared.

It was a man clad in blue divine robes, holding a Golden Trident, with endless waves and storms swirling around him. His gaze was as deep and dark as the sea, filled with boundless majesty and an oppressive presence.

"Outsider, how dare you defile my divine weapon!" The Sea God's voice was like thunder, shaking the entire island.

Agares's hand was repelled by the layer of blue light. He took two steps back, his expression changing.

"A god?"

Outside the island, Bo Saixi and the seven Sacred Pillar guardians sensed the divine might and immediately fell to their knees, their eyes full of awe and devotion.

"Lord Sea God!" Bo Saixi's voice was filled with excitement and reverence beyond measure.

The Sea God paid them no heed, instead fixing his gaze on Agares, Vassago, and the other Demon Gods.

"What do you think you're doing to my Sea God Trident?!" The Sea God's voice was cold and majestic, his question brooking no doubt.

Agares's brows knitted tightly.

Vassago's prophecy had never mentioned the Sea God personally descending to the lower realm. Everything had changed.

He made a snap decision, turning to bark at Vassago.

"Take all the Demon Gods out of here and return to Heart City!"

Vassago didn't move.

He had just made a divination, and the ominous result had left his palms cold.

If he took all the Demon Gods away and Agares held the Sea God off alone, he would end up pierced through the chest by the trident and pinned to the seabed, where the Sea Soul Beasts would tear him apart bite by bite.

"Second brother." Vassago's voice was steady.

"I'll stay with you."

He turned and swept a glance over the Demon Gods behind him. "Samigina, take the others back to Heart City. Leave this to Agares and me."

Several Demon Gods grew anxious on the spot. "Lord Vassago!"

Vassago swept a glance over them, and they all shut their mouths.

Samigina gritted her teeth and bowed. "Take care, my lords."

She turned and withdrew with more than thirty Demon Gods.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and the Evil Orca King had originally wanted to hold on, but when they looked up and saw the Sea God himself standing there, half their souls nearly flew out of them in fright. Without so much as a word, they dragged their injured bodies into the sea and vanished in the blink of an eye.

Beside the altar at the center of the island.

Bo Saixi and the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo lay sprawled on the ground, too badly injured even to stand. But when they saw the Sea God descend in his true form, tears streamed down every face, and they prostrated themselves and kowtowed.

"Lord Sea God!"

"Lord Sea God!"

"Lord Sea God!"

The Sea God didn't look at them. He planted the Golden Trident at his side, and his divine might forced the surrounding seawater to surge backward.

He looked down at Agares and Vassago, his tone openly contemptuous. "Outsiders, just the two of you?"

Vassago didn't reply. His hands had already formed a seal, and starlight lit up between his brows.

Agares stepped half a pace in front of him, dark purple magic power surging from his body.

"Hand over whoever is behind this."

The Sea God's voice was cold.

"And I may leave your corpses intact."

Agares gave a laugh. "Then try it."

The Sea God said no more and thrust his trident forward.

The thrust didn't look particularly forceful, but the tip was wrapped in divine power, and the single blow shattered space.

Agares turned sideways to avoid meeting it head-on. Forming seals with both hands, he blasted a mass of dark purple light into the trident's shaft. The light exploded, and the trident faltered for a moment.

The Sea God flicked his wrist, sweeping the trident across in a second strike, faster than the first by a fair margin.

Off to the side, Vassago formed seals and made a divination. He saw where the strike would land half a breath ahead of time and shouted, "Back off!"

Agares retreated half a step, narrowly clearing the trident's tip, but a slash opened in the hem of his robe.

"Can your divinations keep up?" Agares caught his breath.

"Barely." Vassago's forehead was covered in sweat.

"He's too fast. I can only calculate half a breath ahead. Any further than that, and I can't be sure."

The Sea God gave them no time to catch their breath. His third strike stabbed straight at Agares's chest.

Agares gritted his teeth and met it head-on, crossing his arms before his chest as a dark purple barrier sprang up. The trident struck it, and three cracks appeared across the barrier. The impact sent Agares staggering back several steps, his feet plowing two deep furrows in the ground.

"Second brother!"

Vassago raised a hand and fired a streak of starlight. It grazed the Sea God's shoulder, burning a small patch of his divine robes.

The Sea God glanced down at the scorch mark on his robes, his expression changing. He turned and fixed his eyes on Vassago. "You do have some ability."

He swept his trident at Vassago, who had already divined its path. Vassago dodged left in advance, and the tip grazed his cheek, slicing off a lock of hair.

But the Sea God's move was a feint. Halfway through, he changed direction and pressed down with a reverse grip, bringing the trident chopping vertically down.

Vassago couldn't dodge in time. Agares rushed in from the side and shoved him away, taking the blow himself. The trident's blade opened a long gash in his left shoulder, and blood poured out as he was thrown more than two zhang away.

"Second brother!" Vassago scrambled up and rushed over.

Agares clutched his shoulder and stood up, his face deathly pale, blood seeping between his fingers. "I'm fine. Just a scratch."

The Sea God walked over with his trident, his steps unhurried. "Good divination, and you can take a hit too. Unfortunately, the gap between a god and mortals isn't something those things can bridge."

He raised his trident and was just about to bring it down when Agares suddenly smiled. "Sea God, turn around and look at your inheritance hall."

The Sea God frowned and looked back. The Sea God Trident in the inheritance hall was gone.

While he was occupied, Vassago had kept a trick up his sleeve and taken the Sea God Trident from a distance.

"You're courting death!"

The Sea God's face darkened completely. He swung his trident, and the waters of the entire sea churned with it.

"You think you can lay hands on what belongs to me?"

This time, he didn't hold back.

He raised the trident, and the clouds overhead pressed down with it. A massive column of water shot up from the sea, sweeping toward them, wrapped in divine power.

Agares and Vassago joined forces to raise a barrier. The column of water slammed into it, leaving eight cracks, and the two of them were sent sliding back more than ten steps, their feet carving two deep furrows in the ground.
