Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality-Chapter 896 - 362: Snatching Food_2

Chapter 896: Chapter 362: Snatching Food_2

The God of Sleep slightly lowered his eyelids, his caution reaching an extreme.

Before his eyes, as time passed, the poisonous fog that could corrode space finally descended and touched the hem of the Sea Emperor’s robe.

“…”

“…”

“…”

“…”

Without the slightest stir, as if endowed with life itself, the hazy fog seeped through the seven orifices of the slumbering Sea Emperor.

Hypnos watched, in an instant, as if eons had passed in that very moment.

The visage of Poseidon began to decay, turning sallow, gradually dissolving into ruin and collapse.

Bare bones revealed through the face, as dark red liquid flowed from the empty eye sockets.

At first, the sleeping Sea Emperor seemed not to sense it, his perception as if numbed.

Until the decay continuously spread, reaching his internal organs and bones, and even along some pathway, began to corrode relatives closest to his bloodline.

“…”

“…Uh…”

“Aaahhhhhh—”

The pain finally invaded the mind, eyes ‘snapping’ open, the bone-piercing agony instantly breaking the limits of Hypnos’s power.

Upon awakening, the Sea Emperor attempted to locate the enemy.

But at this moment, Poseidon no longer had ‘eyes’.

Above the vast sea, the faceless, skeletal deity wailed miserably.

His facial features had already peeled off, and though the essence of the sea constantly healed his wounds, the overflowing divinity in his white bones was still visibly decaying and yellowing.

Brown spots emerged on the white bones, flaking and crumbling away layer by layer.

The corner of his eye twitching slightly, Hypnos, concealing his own presence, silently watched this horrifying scene.

The power of this toxin was unimaginably potent, even he would not fare well if contaminated… Yet the God of Sleep did not rush to act, knowing this was not his time to enter the fray.

With the current state of his strength, the Divine Body of Poseidon was destined to be exhausted by this terrible toxin.

Therefore, at this moment, the only choice he could make was one.

“Ah—Who is it! Who exactly is it!”

“You dare to scheme against me, yet you do not dare to face me?”

“Come out, come out!!!”

Suddenly waking up, but leaving the dream elsewhere.

The Sea Emperor roared in anger, a massive rift continuously opening and closing on his flesh-writhing face, but only his voice carried on over the vast sea.

Time trickled away, yet the Sea Emperor’s roars ended fruitlessly.

At some point, whether regaining rationality or giving up the struggle entirely, Poseidon, whose Divine Body had already been half-corroded by the toxin, abruptly stood still above the sea surface, and the poison that had been rampaging, at last, halted its corrosion.

Turning a seemingly slow yet swift round, even without eyes, Poseidon ‘looked’ towards the direction of the God of Sleep.

At this moment, it was as if a terrifying force had descended upon the world once again, and the entire sea quieted down.

Whether it was Pontus slumbering on the ocean floor or the Lord of Ocean in the distant seas, almost at the same moment, they all felt this power coming from the southeast of the world.

After so many years passed, Poseidon once again wielded the strength of a deity in the Mortal Realm.

And this time, he held nothing back.

“Hehehe hahaha…”

“Good…good!”

“It does not matter anymore, none of it matters…”

“Whoever you are, no matter who!”

“I will make you, pay, the, price!”

The piercing voice echoed over the sea, and the ultimate emotion was the ultimate strength of an Innate Deity.

Only the most extreme emotions could bring them closest to the primal, closest to the instinctual, returning to the authority granted by the world.

Thus, even unable to see, Poseidon still locked onto the position of the God of Sleep.

He did not know who the other party was or why they schemed against him, but he no longer cared.

No one, no one could humiliate him like this.

Even if suppressed at the bottom of the sea for ten thousand years, even if to kill ten thousand enemies at the cost of injuring thirty thousand, he, Poseidon, was determined to make the audacious villain pay the price!

Clang——

Under the ceaseless infusion of powerful Divine Power, the Trident of the Sea Emperor resonated with a metallic ring.

Boundless waves churned over the vast sea, and in a brief moment, more than one island in the East Sea was overturned.

Carrying the formidable momentum of half the East Sea, it condensed the earth-shaking might of a Deity.

The sharp Divine Artifact tore through everything in its path, charging unstoppably toward the direction of Hypnos.

“Ah——”

“Die for me——!”

A fierce bellow echoed across the sea and The Sky.

Even Hypnos, facing the divine weapon that rent the air, was moved.

Before, he had heard numerous jokes about Poseidon. But at least with this strike, even if he himself exerted Divine Power, it would be enough to injure him.

“Heh.”

“Extreme emotion, extreme strength, this is the innate sacredness of Innate Gods…”

“What a pity, in the face of truly unrivaled might, what can your anger change?”

Without dodging, nor moving a single step, Hypnos watched the chilling light of the incoming Trident with a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.

The space of the present world twisted slowly before it, but the God of Sleep was not at all panicked.

Because in the next moment, right in front of Hypnos, the space of the present world shattered thunderously.

Indescribable darkness and voids, an unspeakable shadow slid down from within, colliding with the tip of the Trident of the Sea Emperor.

There was no earth-shattering noise, nor a spectacle of brilliant colors.

Only the instantaneous dissolution of Poseidon’s Divine Body, and the indelible divinity attached to the Trident.

Crack…

Boom——

Not just tens of thousands of miles away, in that instant, nearly all The Temples that worshipped Poseidon collapsed at the same time.

Conversely, the devout Believers who worshipped him lost their lives in a flash.

Within the Kingdom of Pylos, where the bloodline of the Sea Emperor remained, endless water surged onto the island, and the vibrations of the Earth resounded through the heavens.

This was not a subjective act of the Lord of Hell; His eyes held no mortals. It was simply that when the extreme emotion of an Innate God was shattered, what followed was the turmoil of his authority.

In a higher and more distant place, the uncontrollable power of the earth shaker reached the continent’s core, and thousands of miles of coastline were crushed to dust.

Countless lives met Death, and more rivers redirected, mountains collapsed.

This was the consequence of the Sea Emperor’s authority being destabilized by powerful Divine Power, and it was just the tip of the iceberg.

However, in the next moment, Hypnos sensed that the Laws of this world were finally responding.

But the part that should have fallen on Poseidon was instantly redirected.

In matters of urgency, to the Laws of the world, things deserving of Its attention are also prioritized.

The Sea Emperor, who violated Order, will surely be punished by rigid rules, but here, something more urgently requiring Its suppression emerged.

“Now is the time…”

A cold voice rang in Hypnos’ ear, the God of Sleep had no time to respond as he immediately took a step out.

His own Divine Power, augmented by the strength of the third layer’s lord of Hell, was released without reservation.

To the worldly Laws, just like Poseidon, he couldn’t concern himself with them at the moment, so Hypnos was not afraid at all.

What truly demanded his immediate attention was the boundless supreme might that rose mightily from The East in the very next moment.

“How dare you—venturing into the Mortal Realm!”

The Divine King had yet to arrive, but his voice was already here.

With no time to spare, Hypnos reached out for the Trident.

However, at this moment, Poseidon, who had just been severely damaged, suddenly burst forth with a powerful Divine Strength, slowing down the God of Sleep for a fraction of a second.

Swoosh——

In the next instant, the outstretched right hand clenched fiercely.

Without surprise, Poseidon’s ‘existence’ was grasped in Hypnos’ hand.

His Divine Body may have been eroded away, but this was the confluence of his Godhood and undying essence.

Yet in just that brief moment, the power released by Poseidon ultimately had some effect.

Right in front of the God of Sleep, the Trident of the Sea Emperor soared into the air, heading in the direction he had originally intended to go.
