Kanon's reckless move ignited the flames of war and thoroughly enraged Poseidon.
Even with his flaws, the Sea Dragon Fighter was his foremost general.
Li Yu defeating him in public was simply too arrogant.
If he didn't intervene now, the morale of the Marines would crumble.
If word got out that the Sea Emperor's strongest Sea Dragon Fighter was defeated by an Aquarius Saint without even withstanding a single move, where would Poseidon's pride be?
Poseidon slowly rose from his white jade throne, his eyes turning a pure gold, and divine pressure spread out like a tsunami.
"Arrogant mortal!"
His voice was no longer the deep rumble that permeated the ocean, but a tangible shockwave of divine power, continuously melting the edges of the Absolute Zero Domain.
With crackling sounds, countless ice crystals burst, reflecting a dazzling rainbow in the air.
Poseidon pointed the golden trident in his hand directly at Li Yu.
"By desecrating the divine realm, you have chosen death. Your arrogance and hubris shall be your epitaph!"
"Divine Power of the Sea!"
Boom!
Vast golden divine power descended like seawater from the sky, forming a flowing prison that completely engulfed Li Yu.
This was a divine technique of the Sea Emperor. Once a mortal without divinity fell into it, he would be like one plunging into the deep sea, with no hope of escape, until he suffocated to death!
But Li Yu was completely unaffected.
His divinity was now close to seventy points, and a wide-range attack like Divine Power of the Sea could not imprison him, who also possessed divinity.
Li Yu looked up, his black hair wildly dancing in the sea of divine power, his dark eyes glowing with fierce battle intent.
"In the end, we still have to fight before we can talk!"
"Spear, come!"
Li Yu extended his right hand, and the spear of longinus, embedded in the Life Pillar, suddenly trembled, transforming into a purple lightning bolt and flying back into his palm.
After the journey to the Tartarus Abyss, this God-slaying spear had quietly completed its evolution.
The spear's shaft was enveloped in an even more ferocious aura, and it could even completely transform itself into purple Chaos Lightning.
Li Yu even suspected that a significant portion of the divinity plundered from Coeus had been secretly swallowed by this weapon.
However, he didn't mind. The spear of longinus becoming stronger was equivalent to him becoming stronger.
When having subordinates do work, one must always give them some benefits; cooperation for mutual benefit is the long-term solution.
Poseidon's pupils constricted slightly. The lightning spear in Li Yu's hand reminded him of his brother who wielded the authority of thunder.
The strongest third-generation God-King among the twelve Olympian Gods.
"Zeus? Could he be your reincarnation?"
He muttered to himself, and if it were true, a hint of solemnity flashed in Poseidon's eyes.
"Poseidon, release Saori Kido, or I will tear down your Atlantis!"
Li Yu roared, and before his voice faded, his figure had already vanished from the divine power cage.
The next second, he abruptly appeared before Poseidon.
This was not high-speed movement, but a flash akin to spatial teleportation!
The Aquarius Cloth drew a dazzling golden line in the deep sea, and the spear of longinus, carrying the extreme cold that freezes all things and the ferocity of god-slaying, pointed its tip directly at Poseidon's brow.
The simplest yet most lethal attack; in all martial arts, speed is paramount!
"Hmph!"
Poseidon snorted disdainfully, merely raising the shaft of his golden trident with an understated gesture.
Clang!
A deafening clash of metal echoed throughout Atlantis, as if two stars had collided in the deep sea!
The sound waves materialized into visible circular shockwaves, violently sweeping outwards from the point of impact between the spear and trident.
The frozen ice, shattered rocks, and Marine ice sculptures at the edge of the Absolute Zero Domain were instantly pulverized, and even the undercurrents were torn into vacuum cracks.
Li Yu felt like he was struck by a heavy hammer, pushed back a hundred meters by an irresistible divine power.
The white jade ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch, spiderweb-like fissures spreading outwards.
The spear of longinus let out an unwilling hum, its tip actually showing damage, and the purple lightning on its shaft was suppressed and dimmed by the divine light of the trident.
Fortunately, the spear of longinus was a living weapon, and in just a few breaths, it had completely recovered.
At the same time, Poseidon staggered back three steps, each step leaving a half-foot deep imprint on the ground.
The surviving Marina Generalss, whether Sorento or Bian, who had just struggled to stand up, all gasped in cold air.
In just one exchange, His Majesty the Sea Emperor was actually forced back by the opponent?
Even the Athena Exclamation from the three Gold Saints hadn't managed to harm the Sea Emperor in the slightest. Was this man named Li Yu truly a Saint?
The chasm between god and man was infinitely narrowed at this moment.
"Master!"
Hyoga clenched his fists, his eyes fixed on the battle. He deeply understood Li Yu's strength and even more, the terrifying divine power contained within Poseidon's trident.
But he had never imagined that his Master could actually confront a god head-on with a mortal body!
Shura and Aphrodite's expressions were more solemn than ever before.
They had personally unleashed the A.E. and could better appreciate Poseidon's unfathomable power.
What level of power was it that allowed Li Yu to repel him with his own strength?
Poseidon's lips curved into a cold arc, his golden eyes filled with the arrogance of a god.
"How can a mortal harm the body of a god?"
Li Yu steadied himself, his gaze growing even sharper, devoid of any frustration. That last strike was merely a test; he could sense that Sea Emperor Poseidon was far from fully awakened.
The Sea Emperor's power at this moment was even less potent than that of the Titan God in the Abyss!
Li Yu pointed the spear of longinus diagonally to his side, and the dormant Eighth Sense Cosmo within him, the power of Alaya-vijñana, burst into flames!
"Poseidon, you have slept for a thousand years and have long since fallen behind the times."
Li Yu's voice, imbued with the power of thunder, echoed through Atlantis City.
"Let me show you… the world-ending power of thunder that can slay ancient Titan gods!"
Deep purple Chaos Lightning erupted from his body, twisting and violent like an abyssal serpent.
First, it covered the Aquarius Cloth, then completely resonated with the spear of longinus. The ancient spear instantly elementalized, transforming into a pulsating deep purple lightning bolt.
Crack!
The dazzling deep purple lightning tore through the gloom of Poseidon's divine realm, illuminating the entire battlefield with an exceptionally eerie glow.
The form of the aquarius gold cloth on Li Yu's body changed accordingly: the shoulder pads protruded, sharp as dragon teeth, and lightning-shaped spikes extended from the edges of the gauntlets, making the entire Aquarius Cloth appear more aggressive.
After absorbing the Chaos Lightning left by Zeus in the Tartarus Abyss, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's ability evolved once more. At this moment, Li Yu could achieve the elementalization of both his body and his Cloth!
The surface of the Gold Cloth was not merely flowing with starlight, but with the boiling, destructive power of thunder.
Divine artifacts like the Gold Cloth would undergo subtle changes based on the Cosmo characteristics of each Saint.
The most noticeable examples were the Aries Cloth and the Taurus Cloth, whose horns would display different forms according to the strength and personality of their successive masters.
And now, the Aquarius Cloth, imbued by Li Yu's Cosmo, also underwent minor changes.
Crack!
Golden lightning descended from the sky!
A thunderous divine power, a blend of ultimate destruction and creation, overwhelmingly tyrannical, descended upon Atlantis City.
Li Yu looked up, his black eyes now transformed into purple electric eyes, flickering with divine light that shared the same origin as thunder.
The spear of longinus in his hand had become a pulsating lightning bolt, the electric glow almost causing it to slip from his grasp!
Li Yu raised the spear of longinus, adopting a throwing stance, and said coldly.
"Poseidon, take this move!"
