Chapter 284: Chapter 70: The Road and Ra Siding_3
“It’s difficult, and very personal; not at all like the structured meditation I had envisioned. After all, people’s natural wills differ... But this is actually just right. Divinity, perhaps, should be so unique.”
Now, everything was ultimately preparation for what Laine would do in the future, so he silently committed to memory the entire process of Cohen’s transformation. Success or failure, it would all be a valuable lesson.
As time passed, Cohen’s condition eventually plateaued after reaching a certain limit. However, the battle did not pause for even a moment. He seemed to be fighting sea beasts, but in reality, he was getting closer and closer to Triton.
Clearly, Cohen was well aware of who was the source of all this. If he could deal with this Sea God, the abnormal floods would recede, the sea beasts would no longer linger on land, and everything would come to an end.
As for what to do afterward, that would be a matter for later.
“Will he succeed?”
“No.”
Shaking his head, Laine knew that Cohen wouldn’t be able to kill Triton, not because of lack of strength, but because someone would surely interfere.
Regardless, Poseidon, if only for the sake of his own honor, would never allow Triton to be killed by a mortal in plain sight.
“Just wait and see.”
“Whether he succeeds or not, he will still make it through today safely.”
In terms of rationale, the king of men who once harbored strong faith in him perfectly fit the target Laine wished to save today. After all, to the Master of Spirituality, worship in the heart unquestionably met the standard more than bodily worship did, so Cohen was sure not to die today. And in terms of value, that went without saying.
“Eurynome, I recall you told me this human resembles a Golden Humanity member? ”
“...Yes, but as far as I remember, that Golden Humanity member also did not possess such power,” Eurynome replied, tearing her gaze away from the screen with difficulty, confirming what she recalled. Although she had seen him only a few times, the Golden humanoid still fit her preconceived notions of mortals.
“If that’s the case, then the situation is clear.”
With a glint in his eye, Zeus turned to Poseidon with a smile:
“This is not a demigod, at least not one from any of us present. Whatever way he has managed to survive till now, however he obtained this power, I believe the Son of the Sea Emperor shall not be thwarted by him, correct?”
“Hmph, Zeus, you’ve always been in charge of the affairs of humans, resulting not only in the matter with Prometheus, but now even——”
His face twitching, Poseidon was about to lash out a few more pointed words at Zeus, but he halted mid-sentence when the corner of his eye caught something on the screen, and the Sea Emperor’s face abruptly changed.
“—You dare!”
No longer caring about the backlash of the Law, Poseidon channeled the power of a true deity through the connection with the Divine Artifact, across the void. However, he still had some sanity left to not unleash his full Divine Power, invoking only a fraction of it instead.
In the next instant, the feedback from the Law arrived. Almost visibly, Poseidon’s Divine Power Level took a nosedive, barely maintaining the threshold of significant Divine Power. This was not a permanent injury, but it would likely take a hundred years or two to recover.
Disregarding the loss of Divine Power, having paid the price, Poseidon knew he could only act once, so along with the power that was expedited, he also sent his furious rebuke.
“Triton, your mission is to destroy the humans, not waste time with this relic from an old era! ”
“Now, flood this city, and leave the other obstacles for later!”
