"Uh..."
The ongoing battle immediately stopped, and Cheng Tian watched the scene in utter embarrassment.
We're screwed...
Looks like that shot went wide...
But why didn't the energy barrier work?
Manaphy's eyes brimmed with tears. Repairing this pillar would take quite a bit of effort.
In fact, all the interior fittings of the Temple of the Sea, including but not limited to the floor, dome, pillars, and so on... were made entirely from top-quality Water Stones. If an explorer came here and was lucky enough to pry up a floor tile or two, they could absolutely strike it rich overnight and never worry about food or drink for several lifetimes.
The Temple of the Sea itself was a moving mountain of gold! If someone could sell it, they would probably count dollar bills until their hands cramped...
It wasn't that the Temple of the Sea's protective barrier hadn't worked. Even that Gyarados from earlier would only have managed to put a single crack in it after attacking for decades without eating or drinking.
But Milotic happened to be rather special. The move it had just used was Kyogre's signature move, Origin Pulse, and the Water-type energy within that Origin Pulse was no ordinary thing-it was Primordial Water!
This Primordial Water was the purest, cleanest water in the world. It could be called the mother of all the world's water sources, while the Temple of the Sea's defensive barrier worked by drawing on the Water-type energy in the ocean to form a protective shield. Naturally, it wouldn't have much effect against Primordial Water.
When the first Prince of the Sea designed the barrier, it truly hadn't taken this into consideration. After all, it had shared a deep friendship with Kyogre back then, so it had no need whatsoever to guard against
