CHAPTER 226: KYOGRE’S WRATH!

The ocean was too vast, teeming with countless creatures—even gigantic beings were common here.

Normally, causing too much of a disturbance would attract the attention of other colossal creatures.

Because their distribution was simply too dense.

This also aligned with the evolutionary traits of creatures from the Dark Continent.

Since their strengths were often comparable, conflicts were rare—no one wanted to get injured and become prey for another.

Thus, they never missed any opportunity to evolve.

The giant octopus was dead, but its demise drew even more colossal creatures!

It was like a chain reaction—nearby creatures drew the attention of those farther away, which in turn stirred even more distant beings.

The observant Beyond also noticed that some of these sea beasts bore traces of blood in various colors.

No doubt, they had fought other giant creatures on their way here—after all, they were all predators to one another.

In other words, any creature that made it here couldn’t be weak.

They were the dishes laid out on the dining table, while the surrounding sea beasts were the diners who had passed the selection process to earn their seats.

They were the prey, and the sea beasts were the hunters!

"Never would have imagined this..."

"We’re not even in the Dark Continent yet..." Pariston muttered in a low voice.

In this life-or-death situation, even he had finally shed his ever-present fake smile, his face now expressionless.

If anything, it was even gloomier.

"Get your grip"

"Have faith in Akira. When has he ever failed?"

"From what I know, ever since he first made a name for himself, no one—no creature—has ever bested him!"

"That was true in the past, and it’s even truer now!"

Ging’s veins bulged as he leaned against the wall, barely keeping himself from collapsing onto the floor.

Under the crushing pressure of countless auras, he could only manage to stay upright.

His sharp, determined eyes burned with conviction, his voice brimming with confidence in Akira!

Unlike the others, he had once experienced the overwhelming presence of Akira’s Nen beasts up close.

Without exaggeration, at least two of Akira’s Nen beasts were stronger than even the mightiest of these sea beasts!

Especially the one capable of firing energy blasts—no matter how many sea beasts there were, it was just a matter of a few more shots.

Having witnessed it firsthand, Ging held an unshakable belief in Akira.

His only concern was whether Akira could protect so many people at once.

The best outcome would be everyone surviving.

The worst? Only Akira making it out alive.

That’s right!

They still had Akira!

Hearing Ging’s shout, the others turned their gazes towards Akira.

Only then did they realize that their leader had been standing there calmly the entire time.

Arms crossed, not a trace of panic on his face—his entire demeanor exuded confidence.

Could it be... that Akira truly could resolve this crisis?

Seeing this, a spark of hope reignited in their hearts, and they all fixed their eyes intently on Akira.

This was their last and only hope left!

At this moment, Akira wasn’t paying attention to the eager gazes of others, but rather focusing on the eyes of the dragon-like sea beast.

Those enormous eyes were filled with human-like emotions!

Clearly, it possessed considerable intelligence—far smarter than the giant octopus from before, or even the surrounding sea creatures.

Akira wouldn’t have been too surprised if it had suddenly started speaking.

The dragon-like sea beast’s eyes darted around, revealing obvious confusion and anger.

"ROAR!!"

Then it suddenly opened its terrifying maw, raised its head, and let out an earth-shaking roar!

Akira guessed it must have arrived only to find its "prey" gone, hence the furious bellow.

The intense sound waves caused the surrounding seawater to vibrate, with countless waves appearing out of thin air.

At the same time, all the sea beasts began to move, seemingly obeying the command of the dragon-shaped sea creature!

In an instant, attacks of all kinds came crashing toward the ship.

Some sprayed venom, others lashed out with massive tentacles, and some even fired enormous beams of energy.

It could truly be described as a ’blooming of a hundred flowers’.

Faced with such a barrage of fierce attacks, the people on the ship could already foresee their fate.

That was to be reduced to nothingness under the relentless assault!

"Eeeeee!!"

Suddenly, time seemed to freeze in that moment as an extremely shrill cry pierced the world!

In the next moment, the once-clear sky was instantly covered in dark clouds, their thick masses completely altering the weather!

With the appearance of the clouds, rain began to pour from the sky—no ordinary rain, but a torrential downpour!

The next moment, a pillar of blue aura shot into the sky like a beam of light!

A vast, ocean-like aura erupted from above the ship, rapidly spreading in all directions!

*****

Far away, at the edge of the Dark Continent.

This was where the Gatekeeper and the Guide resided.

Inside a massive dwelling, The Gatekeeper suddenly opened its enormous eyes, filled with shock, its body trembling uncontrollably!

Just now, an overwhelmingly terrifying presence had surged forth like a tidal wave, leaving even a being as powerful as it feeling suffocated.

This aura was extraordinary—not only was it immensely powerful, but it also carried the boundless vastness of the ocean itself.

Could it be that some formidable sea creature had emerged from the uncharted waters?

That didn’t make sense...

It knew that place all too well—it was just the Mobius Lake, home to creatures at most on par with its own strength.

And given the limited resources in those waters, no sea beast could possibly grow to such a level!

"So... could this aura belong to an outsider?"

The Gatekeeper muttered in a low voice.

For some reason, a figure surfaced in its mind.

A human of incomprehensible power!

*****

In the deeper reaches of the uncharted waters, the surrounding sea suddenly began to swell with an increasing volume of water.

Any creature with a god’s-eye view would have noticed—the water level of Mobius Lake was rising rapidly!

The sea surged higher and higher, encroaching upon the surrounding land!

"Come forth, Kyogre!"

With Akira’s commanding shout, a spatial distortion abruptly appeared above the ship!

In an instant, a deep-blue figure materialized in the air, its indifferent gaze filled with disdain for the sea beasts below.

As the ruler of the ocean!

These creatures were utterly insignificant in its eyes!

The next moment, Kyogre’s body radiated blinding light!

To dare attack it—these sea beasts deserved nothing less than divine punishment!

For it was the god of the sea!
