Chapter 183: Maybe I'm your dad

As the icy spikes plummeted from the sky, forming a relentless, cage-like barrage, Du Ge found himself trapped in the midst of them. His breath grew heavy and slow due to the rapid depletion of oxygen in his lungs caused by his strenuous movements.

Finally, a massive icicle crashed heavily onto his shoulder.

Pain shot through him, numbing one arm instantly and almost causing him to drop the Dragon Sword into the water.

With no way to dodge, Du Ge clenched his teeth and dived deeper into the water, frantically reaching for the panic-stricken fish around him to heal his wounds.

He would never give up until the very last moment.

The Trident of the Sea God.

This was his only chance to turn the tide.

As the second icicle struck him, a streak of golden light suddenly appeared in Du Ge's vision.

A monstrous tentacle, belonging to the sea monster Enke, was holding a golden staff and swiftly approached him. As Du Ge felt a burning sensation in his lungs, the Trident of the Sea God was placed into his hands.

The tentacle then swept aside the falling icicles...

***

Du Ge took the Trident and swung it experimentally, but nothing changed.

Feeling increasingly suffocated, he grew anxious.

Wasn't it said...

That mortals could wield the staff at the cost of their life?

Why couldn't he use it?

After a moment of thought, Du Ge flipped the Dragon Sword in his hand and carved a "fish" character onto the Trident with all his might. Then, he stroked the staff up and down.

In the next instant, his congested lungs felt miraculously clear, and the surrounding seawater seemed friendlier, as if he was born to live in the water.

Du Ge tried to stir the currents with the Trident.

As expected.

A massive whirlpool formed in the water, and his tireless body finally felt a hint of fatigue.

Does using the Trident drain life from mortals?

Du Ge chuckled bitterly to himself.

At this point, what did life force matter?

His body wasn't even truly his own.

Without the Trident's influence, the sea surface returned to calm.

The waves supporting Du Ge subsided, and he fell onto the sea surface. Enke hurried over and lifted him up. He simply lay on Enke's back, quietly admiring the graceful goddess in the sky.

He had to admit.

From this angle, Janice's figure was indeed impressive, a pity her legs were clamped too tightly together.

If Du Ge weren't a gentleman, he would have whistled at this moment.

Finally, Janice, who had been competing with the Trident in the sky, descended. Her face darkened as she looked at Du Ge: "Do I have to change my name?!"

"Yes," Du Ge nodded with a smile. "The Era of Fish! Didn't you see the fish character on the Trident? That's the symbol of the Era of Fish..."

"Janice Butterflyfish," Janice's face suddenly flushed as she closed her eyes, stating her new name. Then, extending her arm, she said, "Touch it!"

Du Ge chuckled and ran his hand over Janice's arm: "I authorize you to use my Trident of the Sea God."

The next second.

The Trident emitted a golden glow, bathing Janice in its light.

Not just Janice, but the aging Du Ge as well, rejuvenated under the golden light. His physical condition quickly surpassed his earlier state, even his soul felt more solid, and a mysterious power seemed to have emerged within him.

Janice, seeing Du Ge's transformation, widened her eyes in surprise: "Why, why can you also receive the infusion of the Sea God's power?"

Muddying the waters!

The greatest beneficiary?

But the Simulation Field was almost over, what use was divine power to me now...

Du Ge quickly understood the reason. He shrugged at Janice, smiling: "I don't know, maybe I really am the reincarnation of the Sea God!"

"Father?" Janice looked incredulous, and the next second, a sky-blue long dress covered her body completely, and her face inexplicably blushed.

About five minutes later, the golden light disappeared.

Janice looked at Du Ge, her expression complex.

By then, Du Ge felt as though he had merged with the sea, capable of stirring up massive waves with a mere gesture. If he had such divine power from the start, who would have been his match?

To think he ended up like Janice, becoming a Sea God!

Alas!

It was over.

Du Ge sighed, looking at the flashing interface and tapped it: "This assessment is concluded, Simulation Field closed, current contestant, ranked first."
