The boundary between the Deep Sea and the Near Sea.
At this moment, the world here resembled a scene from the apocalypse.
Tornadoes formed from seawater stretched one after another into the sky, and within them, countless humanoid monsters were swept high into the air.
Under the violent tearing of those seawater tornadoes, vast numbers of marine creatures were ripped into pieces, even crushed by the water pressure into foamy masses of flesh and blood.
Yet that was not all. The instant a Giant Moth dove from beneath the storm clouds into the sea, part of the seawater seemed to split apart like a severed current.
Every marine creature within the Giant Moth's path was turned into blood mist by the storms along both sides of its wings!
Meanwhile, a terrifying Giant Serpent was turning an entire stretch of sea into a black poisonous swamp.
Within the venom, any marine creature that came into contact with it was instantly transformed into part of that blackness.
As for the main figure of this naval battle, the green-skinned, mucus-covered Water Lizard was continuously luring a colossal octopus behind it as it fled.
That octopus was simply far too enormous.
Its eight tentacles rising from the sea resembled eight towering spires reaching into the heavens.
A mere slap upon the water could raise monstrous waves.
This was God War.
Once a God War began, there was never any possibility of mortals being involved on the battlefield.
Yet unlike the people of the Four Gods of Order, the Frog-Fish People of the Deep Sea actually sought to hunt gods with sheer numbers.
There were simply far too many of these Frog-Fish People. Their shadows filled the entire seabed; even all Four Races combined could not compare to a fraction of them.
However, although the Four Races were severely disadvantaged in numbers, they were still large enough and powerful enough.
After all, even the seemingly weakest Mosquito People among the Four Races stood nearly three meters tall and could fly.
Not a single one of those numerous Frog-Fish People exceeded two meters in height.
To the three races other than the Mosquito People, these Frog-Fish People were at most comparable to the young of their own kind.
But in the end, numbers could sometimes be truly important.
It was because these Frog-Fish People were sufficiently insane and fearless of death.
Like madmen, they fought the Four Races with nothing but their flesh and blood, using the most primitive biting and tearing.
No matter how formidable the warriors of the Four Races were, they could never fight one against a hundred, or even a thousand, at the same time.
After all, their stamina was limited, and the Dinosaur People and Serpent People were not accustomed to fighting in the sea to begin with.
Thus, two or three days after the war with the Frog-Fish People of the Deep Sea began, the Four Races could no longer hold out.
Having suffered grievous casualties, the Four Races had no choice but to retreat. While recovering their strength, they also used the Shark People's sea beasts to launch assaults and wear down the Frog-Fish People.
Still, the Four Races were ultimately no match for the Frog-Fish People.
Thus, the gods on the side of the Four Races finally could not hold back any longer.
The instant the Water Lizard, Giant Moth, and Giant Serpent appeared together from behind the Four Races, tens of thousands of Frog-Fish People died in an instant.
But perhaps the three gods' attack was precisely what the Frog-Fish People had been waiting for!
In the darkness of the Deep Sea, a massive octopus suddenly lashed out with a gigantic tentacle, striking the Water Lizard's body like lightning and sending it flying high out of the sea like a kite with its string cut before it crashed back into the water.
The Giant Moth reacted fastest. The instant the octopus's tentacle approached, it swiftly flew into the sky.
The poison-wreathed Giant Serpent fared better. Its domain was shrouded in pitch-black darkness, and the octopus's tentacle that reached into the poisonous mist was like a hand trying to catch fish in a murky tank. It did not even touch the Giant Serpent at first.
At the sight of the sudden colossal octopus, the three Giant Beasts were badly startled.
Although they had anticipated it, when the three Giant Beasts truly saw the Lord of the Deep Sea's enormous octopus form in its entirety for the first time, they could not help but feel fear in their hearts.
It was simply too immense.
Each of the octopus's eight tentacles was comparable in size to the Giant Serpent.
Tentacles nearly a thousand meters long, and beneath them, a colossal body like a small island in the sea.
Merely looking at the octopus's size was enough to make the Three Beasts' scalps tingle.
However, perhaps because it had been ambushed by the octopus and lost face, the Water Lizard flew into a rage the instant it recovered from being thrown into the sea.
It was enraged, and it immediately summoned its most powerful command over water.
Thus, at the moment more than five enormous underwater whirlpools of dark currents erupted throughout the ocean, the God War officially began.
High in the sky, the Giant Moth hid among the low-hanging black clouds. With its command over wind, it guided the seawater into tornadoes that stretched into the heavens.
Then it swept those massive tornadoes toward the area where the octopus was located!
As for the Giant Serpent—
That fellow had been slacking off from the start, and it was still doing the same now.
It only dealt with the Frog-Fish People spread across the seabed, never venturing within the range of the octopus's tentacles.
Still, with the Giant Serpent killing the Frog-Fish People, it was able to forcibly suppress their frenzied assault against the people of the Four Races.
For a time, on the battlefield of the four Giant Beasts, the aftershocks of battle continuously swept across vast stretches of sea.
The entire ocean became incomparably perilous.
Waves hundreds of meters high, tornado-like columns of water over a thousand meters tall, underwater whirlpools of Deep Sea currents affecting vast areas of the seabed—everything seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth.
Yet at the center of that world-destroying ocean, the four Giant Beasts continued their drawn-out battle.
Whenever the Water Lizard was ensnared by the colossal octopus's tentacles, the Giant Moth would swoop down from the sky and use its immense command over wind to churn the seawater and batter the octopus.
It was precisely through the Giant Moth's cooperation that the Water Lizard managed to escape danger time and time again.
Even so, the Water Lizard and Giant Moth roughly understood that with their current abilities, they could hardly deal with this octopus.
After all, the octopus was in the water. Its command over water was extremely similar to the Water Lizard's, yet even greater.
As for the Giant Serpent, which was merely standing by, the two Giant Beasts roared at it in fury, urging it to hurry up and join the battle. At the very least, it could bite the octopus with its venomous fangs!
But the Giant Serpent had completely given up. No matter what, it refused to go over and take the risk.
Instead, it roared back at the two beasts with complete justification.
Its expression seemed to say: Can't you see? That monster has eight tentacles about the same size as me! If I get close, wouldn't I just be throwing my life away? You two can't even beat it, so what are you expecting from me?
Though furious at the Giant Serpent's self-righteousness, the Water Lizard and Giant Moth could only silently remember it.
After all, among the Three Beasts, the Water Lizard and Giant Moth had always been close, while the Giant Serpent had always held small grudges, still remembering how the Water Lizard and Giant Moth had threatened it back then.
Thus, although their relationship had improved somewhat over the years, there was no point expecting the Giant Serpent to truly exert itself.
The two beasts understood the situation as well, so they could only suppress their anger for the time being. They also resolved that no matter how the battle ended, they would definitely teach the Giant Serpent a proper lesson!
And so, the drawn-out battle across the sea became everything for the next several days.
Only when Kangqiao arrived did the war truly reach a turning point!
