Chapter 306 - The Atlantian Domain!

The Atlantian Domain!

Of the 7 great Seas in Oceania, each of them was associated and was widely recognized as the territory of each of the Sea Kings since the antiquity age after the rise of the 7 Great predators.

This lasted until the era of the rise of the variant human races came, after the great transformation that led to the appearance of the strange creatures. 

Once the era of the variant human races came, the Sea Kings could no longer lord from their high thrones, one of them who was also coincidentally the strongest of them all was dethroned by the rising Atlantis Empire.

Once Atlantis claimed the Origin Peak Sea which was by far the most developed, highly resourceful, and origin magic abundant of the 7 Seas, their rise as the next overlord of this world began.

The Ocean King who suffered the humiliation of losing his throne was livid as he launched counterattack after counterattack at the rising variant human Empire.

The Ocean King was powerful, by far the strongest predator that Oceania as a world has ever produced, but his only mistake was underestimating his enemies even though they already succeeded in dethroning him once. 

Through a combination of wits, cunningness, astonishing growth speed, and their 2 champions, Ouroboros who was then called the War-Monger, and King Orchestra, the Ocean King lost his life. 

This was by far the greatest feat of the Atlantis Empire that cemented them as the new superpower and the overlord of Oceania.

Despite their success, and even at death, the proud Ocean King did not bow to their ways as he resisted all their coercions fiercely.

Unable to let the Atlantians benefit anything from his death, this Sea King self-detonated by using a secret technique which made the essence of his unique skill escape from the grasp of the Atlantians.

Since then, they never found the essence of the unique skill until traces left by it were discovered by Atlantian magic prophets after it got a new heir. 

All that was a different story entirely and didn't matter, what mattered was that Atlantis was now the overlord of Oceania and the Origin Peak Sea's name changed, following the will of its new lords.

This great sea was now widely known as the Atlantian Domain.

This was the home of Oceania's overlord, the backyard and main territory of the great Atlantis Empire. 

The forces of the Atlantis Empire were too spread thin to dominate the other 6 great seas evenly, but their tyrannical hold over their domain made up for it.

By holding a firm grip of this most important and highly resourceful Sea, the Atlantis Empire maintained its head start over the others.

The Empire's strongest fleets and troops were stationed here, this was the Empire's main territory and also where the Atlantian throne where the powerful Queen Auralis ruled was. 

The Atlantian Domain was a huge sea, just like the others. 

At a certain part of this huge sea, which was clearly more heavily guarded and armed than all the other parts of this sea was planted at the sea bed a heavy but luxurious-looking dome-shaped structure.

This was the Dome of Supremacy, Queen Auralis's palace.

At an area of kilometers around the dome were hidden different defense military stations. Only a few were visible, the others were hidden, but one thing was for sure, these stations housed the best that the Atlantis Empire had to offer.

Not even Sea Kings dared to infiltrate this Dome. This was the most heavily protected structure in all of Oceania!

At this moment, a ripple appeared in space a fair distance away from the huge dome-shaped structure and the hidden stations quickly picked the signal.

"Defense Station 221, spatial disturbance code 3FO has been triggered".

"Sending relevant data to the central processing station".

"Data received…, processing data".

"Hold your fire!"

"I repeat, hold your fire!"

"Spatial coordinates have matched with those in our database. It is the esteemed Chosen Athena, lower the Spatial defenses".

"Yes, sir!"

"Lower the Spatial defenses!"

"I repeat, lower the Spatial defenses!"

As this order was silently transmitted through all the defense stations, the spatial defenses were lowered as the tight space nodes in the air finally loosened up like the spacing of the intermolecular forces of a gas.

This allowed Chosen Athena's efforts from the other side to have an effect here. A space rift was finally squeezed open through which the Chosen appeared.

Once the Chosen Athena appeared, her majestic aura swept through the hidden defense stations as all the soldiers showed respect and worship.

While the soldiers worshiped her, the Chosen swept one last glance at the dome-shaped structure that stood before her, then she swam closer.

The Chosen Athena being one of the very pinnacle individuals in the Atlantian Empire only below the Queen, encountered no obstructions as she enjoyed smooth passage into the dome structure.

She referenced her memories and expertly navigated through the luxurious corridors of this dome-shaped structure until she arrived at the Queen's throne.

"Come in!"

Once she got to the door, a familiar voice invited her in.

"Thank you, your majesty!"

Athena expressed her thanks respectfully before solemnly pushing the heavy doors open as she drifted into the majestic throne room of the Atlantis Empire.

The throne room was fairly large and extremely luxurious. It was not too colorful, neither was it too bland, everything blended perfectly to form the ideal balance that correctly depicted the might of this overlord race and her queen.

Once she entered the throne room, Athena levitated in the water as she smoothly swam closer to the throne where the queen was currently seated.

On getting there, this Chosen bowed respectfully.

"My Queen!"

A bright smile lit up Queen Auralis's face as she spoke in a gentle voice. "Sit, my child".

The Queen's well-groomed iconic golden hair at this moment accentuated the bright smile that was on her face.

The Queen's throne chair was also made in her characteristic golden color. Below her throne chair was another luxuriously made chair, and sitting on this chair was a young male Atlantian who had similar features as her.

Once Chosen Athena sat, she turned to exchange greetings with this male Atlantian who had the authority to sit alongside the Queen of Atlantis.

"Prince Poseidon".

"Chosen Athena". The young Prince calmly reciprocated the greeting.

Yes, these 2 were the only chosen of the 7 chosen seeds who succeeded in grasping the essence of the gods as of this moment. 

Chosen Athena succeeded in grasping the essence of the goddess Athena, while Prince Poseidon grasped the essence of the powerful sky god, Poseidon.

They were both only below the Queen and above everyone else in authority.

Prince Poseidon had another identity which was already evident in his title, he was the only son of Queen Auralis. He was the last child and only male-born child of the Queen among 3 sisters.

From a young age, the talent of the prince became known to the whole Empire. A lot of expectations were placed on his shoulders, and he did not disappoint, even exceeding expectations.

Prince Poseidon was the strongest warrior of Atlantis!

At this moment, after the 2 chosen's exchanged greetings and the attention finally returned to her, Queen Auralis turned to face Athena.

Athena immediately bowed her head. "I failed, your majesty".

"Tell me what happened".

"Yes, your majesty…"

It took a few minutes, but Athena was able to narrate everything that transpired after she joined the battle till it came to an end after the eruption of the ocean volcano which dealt severe injuries to her.

After the narration, silence reigned in the throne room as Queen Auralis calmly meditated on the information that she just released.

She suddenly perked up after meditating for some time. "You're right Athena, no one is the true blessed of the origin".

"The origin is impartial, to get her attention, we need to work hard towards it which is exactly what we intend to do".

"Good work Athena, I'm proud of your efforts".

"Thank you, your majesty".

As a strange silence reigned after the last comment, the originally silent prince finally spoke. "Mother, what are your orders?"

The Queen turned to look at her son before her eyes became resolute.

"This is my order…, I decree the Black bounty on Sebastian!"
