The unexpected turn of events in the easternmost waters hadn't impacted the confrontation between Lu Hong and Natidak.
Lu Hong, with both hands raised upward, managed to hold up the Sea God Trident that weighed thousands of pounds. In the instant the trident was about to crash down, he activated the Steel Guardian, but alas, the peak power of the sea god's creation was just too overwhelming. Even the Steel Guardian's formidable defense was crushed to dust like rotten wood before a storm.
The hands that had touched the trident were already seared and blackened by the electric shock of lightning-element Divine Power. Water Element Divine Power continued to assail Lu Hong, seeking his destruction.
Meanwhile, Natidak stood atop the Sea God Trident, pressing it down inch by inch, resolute to bury Lu Hong completely.
In this standoff, Lu Hong found himself at an absolute disadvantage with virtually no hope for a turnaround.
