Only the unconscious Camus, at the moment the shockwave arrived, saw an ice coffin suddenly rise from the ground, completely enveloping him.
Li Yu had prepared for this; a useful tool like Camus couldn't be allowed to die so easily.
The Marine suffered even more; weaker Marine were directly vaporized by the aftershock, leaving no trace.
Bian's Marine Scale was mostly shattered, and one arm was torn off.
Io's Six Beast Scale was broken, and he lay on the ground covered in blood.
Sorento barely managed to resist with his flute song, but he was still shaken to the point of internal organ rupture, and his flute broke.
This terrifying shockwave, even across the infinite deep sea and space, propagated to every corner of the planet; the goddess statue in the Sanctuary trembled slightly, and olive leaves rustled down from the summit of Mount Olympus.
Pandora's feet trembled continuously, her face deathly pale.
Dohko of Five Old Peaks gripped his staff tightly, his eyes filled with solemnity; this was a god-level power of world destruction!
The hundred-meter-high tsunami ice sculptures, which had completely frozen in the seven oceans, exploded with countless huge cracks on their surface under this terrifying shockwave!
Suddenly, countless golden light nets appeared in the sky, and from within them came the voices of ancient gods, ethereal and solemn.
"We hereby establish a divine covenant, to protect this planet with our divinity!"
The light nets slowly descended, covering Atlantis like a celestial curtain, and finally, the violent light and chaotic currents gradually subsided.
In Atlantis, a terrifying vacuum zone with a diameter of several thousand meters appeared at the center of the battlefield!
The deep ocean currents were completely emptied, then quickly refilled by the surging surrounding seawater, creating a deafening roar.
The surface of the Seven Ocean Pillars developed numerous cracks, like parched earth, on the verge of complete shattering.
Because it was behind Sea Emperor Poseidon, the lower half of the Life Pillar miraculously remained intact, but the upper half had long since completely evaporated, vanishing without a trace.
Li Yu's figure appeared at the edge of the vacuum zone; he knelt on one knee, his left hand propping himself up with the spear of longinus, the lightning on the spear's body already dim, with only faint electrical sparks flickering.
He was breathing heavily, his chest rising and falling erratically, the surface of his aquarius gold cloth was covered with fine cracks, and small fragments had even broken off from his shoulder guards and greaves, revealing bleeding wounds beneath.
A trickle of dark red blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth, dripping onto the spear of longinus, instantly evaporating by the residual electrical sparks.
The extreme collision between Chaos Lightning and Poseidon's ocean divine power was a huge burden on both his body and his Cloth.
The Aquarius Cloth was originally ice-attributed; forcibly bearing the power of lightning had long exceeded its endurance limit.
And Sea Emperor Poseidon still stood directly in front of the Life Pillar, his golden trident held horizontally before him, his posture as towering as Mount Everest, as if he had not wavered.
But... in the noble Divine Robe that symbolized his authority as Sea Emperor, a fist-sized void had appeared near his heart!
The edges of the void flickered with ominous purple electrical sparks, crackling, and golden and indigo-blue divine light constantly moved around the void, yet it could never smooth out the cracks.
A faint golden trickle of divine blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, dripping down his chin and striking the white jade ground with a soft 'drip' sound.
The white jade ground instantly glowed golden; that was the blood of a god, containing pure divinity!
Poseidon... was injured!
The Saint present erupted in disbelieving gasps and wild joy!
"He... he wounded Sea Emperor Poseidon?!"
"Lord Li Yu... wounded Poseidon!"
"Did you see it! Senior Brother, Poseidon is bleeding! Master did it!"
Hyoga trembled with excitement, tears even welling up in his blue eyes; he had always believed in his master's strength, and now it was finally proven.
Isaac's pupils constricted; the ice on his body had long since shattered, and at this moment he couldn't make any sound... Seiya, Shiryu, Hyoga, and the other Bronze Saints, their eyes rekindled with the fire of hope!
Shura and Aphrodite looked at the void in the Divine Robe, their eyes filled with shock and admiration!
Li Yu, by his own power, had wounded a true god; with such strength, no one would dare to refute if he were called a god... The Marine stood frozen in the ruins of the shattered Atlantis, a deathly silence of fear enveloping everyone.
Sorento's face was ashen, his Marine Scale and body trembling, emitting tiny clinking sounds.
He stared at the void in Poseidon's chest, his lips quivering.
"He... he could actually wound His Majesty... What kind of monster is he?"
In the hearts of the Marine, Poseidon was the supreme god, the absolute ruler of the deep sea, but now this god had been wounded by a mortal.
The collapse of their faith was like ten thousand feet of bitter cold pressing down on them, making even their breathing heavy.
On the peaks of the Olympus mountains, a cold wind swept loose stones across Pandora's skirt; the color had completely drained from her beautiful face.
Her slender fingertips dug deeply into her palms, leaving several red marks.
"Li Yu... he actually... really wounded Poseidon?"
Her voice carried an almost imperceptible tremor, and for the first time, fear appeared in her eyes.
Her meticulously planned game, from the revival of Ophiuchus to intercepting the Libra Cloth, she had believed everything was within her control, and Athena had no chance of escape.
But Li Yu's appearance was like a sharp blade, directly shattering her meticulous plan.
"Despicable mortal... how dare you wound my divine body!"
Poseidon looked down at the void in his chest, his golden eyes churning with monstrous rage, a rage that almost ignited the darkness of the deep sea.
His voice was no longer a majestic divine oracle, but like eons of ice scraping against rock, chilling to the bone.
Divine blood slowly flowed from his mouth and chest; the golden divine blood made the golden light on the Divine Robe even more brilliant, and also made Poseidon like a wounded beast, completely enraged.
He slammed his trident down heavily!
Boom!
In Atlantis, the Seven Ocean Pillars suddenly emitted an ear-splitting cracking sound!
The runes on the surface of the stone pillars instantly dimmed, then shattered with a crash, countless fragments of stone flying, raising a sky full of dust.
Endless ocean divine power surged from the remnants of the stone pillars, pouring into Poseidon's divine body like a tide; it was the primordial power of the seven oceans, which he was frantically drawing upon!
The entire seabed began to tremble violently, the broken walls and ruins of Atlantis constantly collapsing in the shaking, and the deep-sea currents formed huge whirlpools, even the frozen tsunami ice sculptures in the distance began to crack.
Li Yu's previously established Absolute Zero Domain, in the face of this purer, vaster divine power, was like fragile ice, forcibly squeezed and pushed back, the cold air rapidly contracting, its range drastically shrinking, the ice surface covered with spiderweb-like cracks.
Poseidon's Cosmo expanded at a visible rate, the surrounding space began to twist, the seawater solidified, as if a black hole had descended upon the center of Atlantis.
Everyone's eyes showed astonishment; they had never seen a Cosmo of this scale before.
Is this the true strength of Sea Emperor Poseidon?
"Mortal, you have successfully enraged me!"
Poseidon slowly raised his golden trident, the indigo-blue halo at its tip tearing through the deep sea.
"I shall grant you eternal death!"
"Divine Wrath - Ocean Elegy!"
The trident swung violently towards Li Yu!
There were no towering waves, no water impact, only a tangible, mountain-heavy force—the weight and authority of the entire planet's oceans, using law as a hammer, ignoring spatial distance, with the might to crush everything, crashing down on Li Yu, who had just unleashed his lightning power and whose aura was slightly sluggish!
This was the ultimate attack of the Lord of the Oceans within his own divine domain, the most extreme punishment for those who blasphemed a god!
Boom!
