Clang!

Orm, unwilling to relinquish his throne, lunged at David with his trident. David, with a single sweep of his own trident, met Orm's attack head-on. The collision of the two tridents sent shockwaves through the ocean.

A massive wave surged beneath the sea, and like a shrimp caught in the tail sweep of a dominant orca, Orm was sent flying backward, crashing into the palace and bringing down a corner of it.

The display of boundless divine strength left everyone in awe.

The strike just now—had there been no golden radiance from the Trident of Neptune, nor any disturbance in the surrounding waters. Was that strike purely from his own strength?

Orm possessed the strongest bloodline of Atlantis within the seven seas. Yet, even in his furious assault, he could not withstand a single blow from David. How was this possible!

"Land-dweller, I am the true ruler of the seven seas!"

From the ruins of the palace, with his silver trident bent, Orm's hands trembled, his tiger's mouth split open, and blood seeped into the sea.

In the eyes of the onlookers, Orm, in his disheveled state, realized the vast gap between himself and David. In extreme frustration, he roared and, mustering his strength, gripped his trident and charged again.

"Orm, stop!"

Mera, stepping in front of David, rebuked him and manipulated the water to halt Orm's futile efforts.

The queen had raised her, and if possible, she hoped to save the life of the queen's younger son. Moreover, she feared Orm's actions would implicate their people.@@novelbin@@

"You are just like my mother, who was sacrificed to the Trench—you have betrayed your people, betrayed me!"

Mera swiftly manipulated the water to form a vortex around the silver trident, attempting to deflect it.

But Orm's murderous strike, filled with killing intent, was not so easily neutralized. After a brief standoff, the water dissipated, and the trident's tip bore down on Mera's vital points.

"Daughter!"

Nereus shouted, his eyes wide with shock and anger.

Mera felt the breath of death upon her, like facing the gaping maw of a shark, a trace of fear in her eyes.

In the next instant, the water around her abruptly shifted, becoming as solid as steel. Orm's trident could not penetrate this immovable barrier, not even an inch further.

Orm exerted all his strength, his face turning red with strain and veins on his forehead bulging, yet he could not push his trident any further.
