Chapter 40: Pontus Triggers Ocean Disaster, Flooding the Abyss! 2
Sensing a slight tremor beneath the ocean above, Tartarus looked up and muttered to himself, "It's begun! You'd better retreat for now, or you'll be easily injured."
"Brother Tartarus, are you ready to fight?" said Nyx, the goddess of night.
While they didn't understand the exact reason for the commotion in the ocean, everyone could sense that the two new gods had just been born and were fighting Pontus, the god of the sea, and the conflict was escalating.
The powerful might of Uranus, the god of the sky, descended upon the ocean, and naturally, Nyx sensed it.
"Tartarus, be careful." With that, the usually cautious god of darkness, Erebus, vanished into the darkness.
Even in the darkness, he could see everything clearly; he didn't want to suffer any injuries.
It was clear that Pontus, the god of the sea, was about to be injured.
How could the god of the sea fight the sky and his two children?
The god of darkness was somewhat anticipating what would happen next.
"Brother Tartarus, be careful of Uranus, the God of the Sky. He's always looking for a chance to deal with you," said Nyx, the Goddess of Night.
"I look forward to that battle." Tartarus' eyes blazed with passion.
Having successfully achieved deification, he had yet to truly fight, and he truly desired to try.
Nyx, the Goddess of Night, vanished into the night, but a cloud of darkness lingered behind Tartarus, not far away.
After hearing Tartarus's plan, Pontos, the God of the Sea, had imagined and demonstrated the route of his divine power many times beforehand.
This time, his divine power flowed with remarkable skill.
Boom!
Pontos, the God of the Sea, unleashed his utmost divine power, countering the divine power of Uranus, the God of the Sky, temporarily minimizing its interference.
Without the interference of divine power, Pontos's full strength erupted. He used half of his divine power to compete for the throne of the Sea God, achieving a brief stalemate with the two new gods.
At the same time, Pontus's other half of divine power dispersed to all corners of the seabed surrounding the earth.
Boom! Boom...
At the bottom of the circular sea, the earth and rock began to crack and shatter, forming countless fissures like a spider web.
The earth and rock beneath the entire sea began to crumble and shatter.
The seabed closest to the abyss was also the weakest area, and the earth and rock within a thousand meters were the first to turn to rubble.
A large amount of ocean water first collapsed from the thousand-meter-wide pit.
Instantly, the seawater formed a massive waterfall, pouring down and flooding the abyss below!
Boom, boom, boom...
Following this, the earth and rock in other areas of the seabed crumbled and shattered, and huge holes appeared one after another at the bottom of the sea.
"Pontus wants to flood the abyss with the ocean! He's mad!" The voice of the goddess of night, Nyx, rang out behind Tartarus.
"That's insane! He actually wants to flood the abyss? Is his power enough?" Erebus, the God of Darkness, was astonished.
Currently, the Earth is the strongest, followed by the Sky and the Abyss. And the Abyss's pressure on darkness is even greater than the Sky's.
How could Pontos, the God of the Sea, who was even less powerful than the Darkness, actually want to come to the Abyss?
Erebus, the God of Darkness, couldn't understand.
This was exactly Tartarus's plan.
He analyzed Pontos's situation: Pontos was the bottom of the ocean, not the ocean itself.
Therefore, the future god might very well be the ocean itself.
So, if the danger becomes extreme and they can't claim much ocean power, they can open the bottom of the ocean and allow the ocean water to flow into the Abyss.
The ocean water that enters the Abyss will be suppressed and shielded by the Abyss, cutting off any connection with the world above.
If the god is a deity of the ocean itself, the loss of ocean water will naturally shrink their body, significantly impacting their power.
The flow of the ocean waters did not harm Pontus, who was originally the ocean's bottom.
If Tartarus hadn't initiated this plan, Pontus would never have dared.
Opening the ocean floor and flooding the abyss with ocean water was a clear provocation to the abyss.
As the god of darkness, Erebus, believed, this was tantamount to the ocean declaring war on the abyss.
Boom!
At this moment, from the area of the ocean floor closest to the abyss, a massive waterfall of seawater had already fallen onto the abyssal land.
Then, a large amount of ocean water flowed from its starting point in all directions.
At the same time, approximately half of the ocean floor surrounding the earth completely collapsed into a hollow.
Instantly, an untold amount of ocean water surged from the hollow, forming a massive circular waterfall that poured down into the abyss.
Tartarus devoured the ocean waters, becoming the God of Water, and almost stopped the sea level from falling.
This time, Pontus's sudden action was like a world-class marine disaster.
The ocean erupted in fury, breaking through its depths and plunging into the abyss, violently bombarding the abyssal land.
A massive loss of ocean water, falling into the abyss, caused the sea level to plummet.
Oceanus, the god of the oceanic rivers, and Tethys, the goddess of the ocean, were themselves the ocean.
The sudden loss of the ocean directly affected their divine bodies, hindering the flow of their divine power.
The previously even balance in the struggle for oceanic divine power was suddenly shattered.
The sphere of oceanic divine power flew rapidly towards Pontus.
"Pontus, you dare to harm my child!"
Suddenly, a tremendous voice rang from the sky, shaking all the gods. A massive bolt of lightning seemed to split the world apart.
The vast, gigantic sky plummeted down upon the earth, with the most significant portion falling upon the ocean.
Uranus, the sky god, plunged into the ocean, unleashing immense divine power, which was channeled through the sky into the ring-shaped sea, enveloping the ocean's waters with a powerful suction.
"Pontus! Recover!"
At the same time, Gaia, the Earth Mother, cried out urgently.
The earth itself trembled, radiating a powerful divine power in all directions, controlling and holding the ring-shaped ocean waters, slowing their descent.
But Gaia, the Earth Mother, lacked ocean divine authority, and neither did Uranus, the sky god.
They could not fully control the ocean's waters. They could only rely on their immense power to forcibly control them, but they could not completely stop them.
At this point, the two newly born sea gods had not yet seized their ocean divine authority, and their powers were vying for it, so they were unable to control the ocean's descent.
As a result, even with the combined efforts of the two peak-level gods of sky and earth, they still failed to control all of the ocean's waters.
At the bottom of the ocean, the waters at the very bottom still cascaded, plunging into the abyss.
At this moment, the sphere of the Sea God's power had arrived before Pontus, the god of the sea.
"I've got it back! Tartarus's plan was right. They can't handle it all. The Sea God's power is mine."
Looking at the Sea God's power before him, Pontus reached out and grabbed the sphere.
"Our Sea God's power is about to be lost! What should we do?" The Ocean Goddess, Thesis, grew anxious.
Okeanos, the god of the ocean river, also spoke anxiously, "The waters that have fallen into the abyss have lost all their senses. My divine power is fading, and there's nothing I can do."
The two new gods, freshly born, faced this crisis. They were filled with anxiety, yet powerless.
They sensed it, and their parents took action, but they couldn't stop the waters from falling into the abyss.
At this moment, Uranus, the sky god, rushed towards Pontus, the sea god, from the ocean.
At this moment, an angry roar came from the abyss: "You dare to flood the abyss with seawater? Are you declaring war on the abyss?"
