Nothing thereafter was said as it took its position in a corner of the large glowing City of Atlantis, looking in one direction at the enemy that will be coming soon. Not long after, another Kaiju appeared and nodded towards the one that had just arrived, taking a position in another corner of the City after the acknowledgment.
This was the terrifying [Cassiterite Shark] that put the [Megalodon] to shame as its body was more than 30 meters with teeth that were the same size as some buildings. Its body sparkled with crystalline armor as it swam majestically around Atlantis.
These were the Calamities of the Sea that the Will of the Lost World had called upon for help after one of their brothers was killed by the Demon Emperor that was leading his forces here. The words of Baal had been relayed to all of them as they learned of the being's ruthlessness firsthand. They would make their stand against the invaders aiming for Atlantis so that the threat of this enemy could be taken care of for good.
The arrival of two Calamities of the Sea that many Atlanteans and Merfolk had heard about as a child put the Ocean Master on edge, before he calmed down as he saw their movements were for the protection of Atlantis. He recalled the old legends of these calamities being the defenders of the world. He had never realized just how true these legends were.
After the two, more Calamities of the Sea continue to arrive after a few hours, and even more after a day. On the day when it was the most tense as the force of Demons and Cultivators neared, five calamities had arrived.
In the surroundings of the city of Atlantis, the one singular feature of the five powerful beings of PHANTASMAL rank they had across the board was their extremely enormous sizes.
One of the Calamities was a large stingray that had the longest tail, seeming even bigger than the length of his entire body as it wrapped around the surrounding sea as a net.
Another Calamity had lava bubbling out of its body as the seawater around it became heated just from its appearance. The fifth one was something rarely seen for its size, something that was enormous but at the same time seemed very harmless.
It was a being covered in gold and blue colors, it was a commonly seen [Goldfish].
It had streaks of blue and gold running across its body as it floated majestically in the waters. Its body was more than 25 meters large, giving a grandiose look of a shining beacon of gold and blue light that moved above the city of Atlantis.
Five Calamities of the Sea had arrived to make the final stand against the incoming invaders. One of their brothers was killed by the terrible Ruler of the Demon world that only left destruction in his wake. The other Calamity that was yet to be seen was the one that took the title of the oldest calamity, that was the Kraken.
Chapter 188 - Demon and Cultivators at the Gates!
There was a sense of apprehension and uncertainty in the waters as five Calamities of the Sea swam in the waters above the shining city of magic and technology that was Atlantis.
The Ocean Master was at the forefront with legions of Atlanteans and Merfolk commanders riding [Killer Whales] and [Battle Sharks], as well as many other deep-sea creatures.
Gloriously shining Hydro Cannons lined the entirety of the walls of the city of Atlantis with many Atlanteans carrying Plasma Guns spread throughout.
OONG
An oppressive feeling had begun to appear from a distance not too far away as the people wishing them harm neared.
The area surrounding Atlantis that was normally lit up by a gorgeous blue color from the advanced weapons and barriers that surrounded the entire city was gradually being pervaded by a shade of red as powerful figures drew closer and closer to the city.
The first one to become visible to the inhabitants of Atlantis was a powerful demon wearing an exquisite suit of armor. It let out a glorious red light that seemed to be pushing away the normal blue colors of the sea.
Not a single weapon was in his hands as he stood grandly in the sea overlooking the five Phantasmal ranked beings floating above the waters of Atlantis. His eyes seemed to show great interest towards the five calamities, as a devouring light passed through his eyes.
More and more figures began to appear around him as his eyes wandered over his target today. Rulers of the Demon World of various ranks started to line up behind him with their Demon Legions filled with orcs, goblins, trolls, and many other ferocious-looking creatures.
The pervading red light from the forces of demons continued to intrude the area as the dark sea seemed to be clashing with two opposing forces. Some of the Demon Legions were riding on creatures commonly known in the Demon World, it was the fearsome [Behemoths] that were larger than 10 meters.
[Behemoths] were capable of flight and were normally the perfect beasts to ride into battle. Their bodies were shining red and looking extremely disfigured and bloated, but the flat surface on their back was being occupied by many powerful demons.
Aside from Baal, there were other Rulers at the Phantasmal rank that were in the Lost World with him. There was the fearsome-looking giant that was the [Orc Emperor] and ranked 3rd, it was Prince Vassago.
Riding on another Behemoth was the Ruler at the 9th rank that was known as Empress Paimon. She had a tremendously bountiful figure that would cause the envy of many women as she stood on a chair made of bones.
Baal had pulled all the stops as besides them, two more Rulers of the PHANTASMAL rank had recently left their missions on other worlds to descend into the lost world of Atlantis. Ranked 4th and 12th, it was respectively the Cruel Monarch, Samigina, and the Seductress, Sitri.
The line up of the Rulers of the Demon World was unexpectedly five PHANTASMAL ranked individuals, with many other Rulers in the Mythical and Legendary ranks filling up the ranks of their army. More than half of the power of one World was congregated in the Lost World for Baal's purposes.
It did not take long before hundreds of thousands of figures different from the demons also began to appear in the dark waters. The other group of invaders were the ones that studied the laws of the world at a very young age and had arrogance ingrained in their bones, it was the Cultivators.
Martial Uncle Dylan and Sect Master Inuit had also arrived at the scene.
From the Mountain Sea Sect, Martial Uncle Dylan brought two other Martial Uncles at the Golden Transformation Realm that was equivalent to the PHANTASMAL rank. Although their mysterious use of laws made them much more formidable opponents of the same level.
There were also lower-ranked Martial Uncles at the Rebirth Realm(Mythical) and their disciples that were surrounded by colorful bubbles of air that pushed out the dark waters.
The other group of cultivators were more mysterious, having calm expressions as they looked over the many beings congregating here today. This was the group of Cultivators from the Karmic Sect. Their bodies had thin barriers of transparent light that made them stand out even more in the dark waters as they stood orderly behind their Sect Master.
Sect Master Inuit had a calm smile on his face as his eyes wandered across the many beings in front of him. A white light occasionally passed through his eyes as he seemed to be using a mysterious skill to look for something, or someone. After a few seconds, he shook his head in slight frustration and regained his usual calm as he went back to his normal expression. He had not found what he was looking for.
Something interesting to understand was the title of the two leaders of cultivators in the Lost World. From the Mountain Sea Sect, there was a prominent Martial Uncle leading divisions of the sect, while from the Karmic Sect, someone with the title of Sect Master was leading their forces.
A being with the title of Sect Master in the World of Cultivation was never one to look down on, and yet his forces remained the quietest in this incoming battle as they reigned in their auras and continued looking forward calmly.
This was a force that many people were overlooking at this moment in time. Baal had overlooked them as just another set of arrogant Cultivators he could use and work with before their relationshi
p eventually fell apart after they found the location of the trident. Martial Uncle Dylan had a sense of apprehension as he knew a bit more about the mysteriousness of the Karmic Sect in the World of Cultivation, but even he did not give this Sect Master the proper attention.
This single mysterious Sect Master would be a huge factor in the events to unfold, and yet almost nobody knew anything about him.
At this moment in time though, another commotion arose as within the ranks of Demon Legions, pairs of green lights began to appear en masse as they indicated the arrival of something terrible.
A harrumph came out of Baal's mouth as he looked back and saw tens of thousands of undead stand with the forces of other demons closely. The dense amounts of green eyes continued to swim closer as more than a hundred thousand undead appeared among the ranks of demons, making the eyes of the defenders of Atlantis turn sour.
The Calamities of the Sea looked at all this closely as their bodies pulsed with power, indicating they would move at any moment.
A moment passed as the movements of the undead finished, and a red light began to bloom near Baal's position as a gorgeous figure of someone who could barely be 19 or 20 years of age appeared. A red dress was dr.a.p.ed over her body as the Necromancer of Chaos, Barbatos, appeared.
"Haha, the main event has appeared, so why don't we get this show on the road?"
She had a playful expression as she appeared in the dark waters packed with multiple PHANTASMAL ranked beings.
Chapter 189 - The Last Calamity Appears
The Ruler of the Demon World, Baal, looked over at the problematic Barbatos as an oppressive aura erupted out from him. His face was impassive as he looked over at the Demon Empress who turned to look at him with a pouting expression as the pressure descended.
She went quiet as the pressure increased and sighed, going ahead and standing behind Baal as she grumbled something underneath her breath. This seemed to be the norm as the other Rulers shook their heads ruefully and focused their attention on the battle ahead once more.
The Seductress, Sitri, looked at the figure of Barbatos in annoyance as the pink light she exuded outwards intensified, her shapely figure somehow increasing in proportion once more. A snort could be heard from the first ranked Ruler as he stopped any more interruptions.
Baal turned his attention towards the forces of Atlantis in front of him as his eyes looked at the dangerously shining cannons and weapons. His lips parted as a calm voice that could be heard by everything for miles rang out.
"Pain is something that can be easily avoided. It is something that I understand."
The voice was calm and steady, startling a few people as they didn't expect a monologue before the beginning of a huge fight.
"I am going to tell you now that there is a way to avoid the pain that will soon come for all of us. There is a way to avoid death and mayhem as we can all come to an understanding."
His voice reverberated in the ears of the Ocean Master and the powerful Calamities of the Sea. No reply came from them as their bodies bubbled with power that would soon erupt.
The Ruler of the Demon World looked at all of this as he spoke once more.
"There should be no feeling of cowardice in your hearts if you give up one simple treasure for the lives of all of your people. Because I can promise you now, inhabitants of Atlantis, the alternative path where I don't get what I want is going to be much much more painful."
The tension seemed to be at the breaking point with these words as a roar came from one of the Calamities of the Sea. The [Cassiterite Shark] was releasing waves of power as its body prepared to pounce on the ruler of the demon world.
The many Submarines and Warsh.i.p.s pulsed with lights as their weapons were pointed towards the invaders.
At the same time, colorful lights began lighting up on the bodies of cultivators as Martial Uncle Dylan looked coldly at the glowing City in front of them and he spoke out.
"Why bother offering an olive branch to these lesser beings? They only understand brute force, and that is exactly what they will get."
The body of the Martial Uncle was crackling with dense blue arcs of power as the water near him seemed to be adhering to his control, his power at the PHANTASMAL level giving off an oppressive feeling.
Baal's cold face remained the same as his forces had their attacks ready, awaiting his command. The command to start the fight had yet to be given when in the next instant, something changed.
A silver light began spreading out in the middle of the two forces. It caused a blinding light as the appearance of multiple large figures could barely be discerned. One was a figure that many Atlanteans and Merfolk had heard about in their legends, it was the humungous figure of a terrifying Kraken. Its body had dark sheen as it swung its eight arms around it, two much longer tentacles powerfully roiling about in the sea.
Besides this Kraken was a figure that let out maddening levels of strength as multiple eyes with their own unique colors pierced through the water and landed on the forces of Demons and Cultivators.
[The Dictatorial Kaiju- Hydra] had made its appearance in front of many beings in the World of Atlantis as levels of strength only seen at the peak of the world emanated from it. The three large draconic heads moved menacingly as one focused on Baal, another looked at the leading Martial Uncle Dylan, and the last one glanced at the calm looking Sect Master Inuit that had a gradually changing face since their appearance.
RAA! RAA! RAA!
A piercing battle cry could be heard vibrating out at the same location where the fearsome Hydra and Kraken appeared, this time an arrogant penguin with its beak raised extremely high had appeared.
It was surrounded by a variety of other beasts that let out powerful auras that stood at the peak of Mythical rank as their bodies were equipped with fearsome personalized battle armor.
A variety of reactions appeared on the beings present on this tense stage as the Ocean Master had an improved complexion at the arrival of the oldest Calamity of the Sea who seemed to have brought another being of similar power.
Baal and Martial Uncle Dylan only gave a glance to these new arrivals as they didn't look at them any differently than the other PHANTASMAL ranked beings already protecting Atlantis.
Only a single being had an extreme change in mood at a figure that most overlooked as an extra when comparing to the grandeur of the Kraken that it arrived with together.
From the Karmic Sect, the Sect Master's eyes flashed a brilliant white light as a clear smile began to form on his face as his eyes rested on the powerful figure of the three-headed dragon. His lips began moving to release words that would not be heard by anyone unless they were standing right beside him.
"Found you."
One of the arriving figures taking the spotlight, the Kraken, looked arrogantly at the figures of demons and cultivators in front of them as it's humungous body pulsed with unknown power. Its cold voice thundered outwards as vibrations traveled for miles.
"You motherf.u.c.kers are about to die."
Chapter 190 - Resplendence!
Baal had an interesting smile on his face as he looked at the tight defenses of Atlantis and the many PHANTASMAL figures taking a stand against their forces.
"As always, the most illogical and stupidest course of action is taken by struggling ants that do not know real power."
OONG!
His body that was dr.a.p.ed in a tight-fitting armor began to pulse with a red light as a power mightier than what any PHANTASMAL ranked beings portrayed before was released from him.
"Start the bloodbath."
Simple, short words.
These were all it took as maddening levels of power began to be released from the Rulers behind him. The Demon Legions standing atop tens of thousands of [Behemoths] howled out as the beasts they rode on began to move. Wrathful looking Orcs, Trolls, and Goblins howled out as they rushed towards their enemies with fervor.
Colorful blue lights began to shine from the bodies
of the Cultivators from the Mountain Sea Sect as resplendent blue dragons began to appear where hundreds of disciples once stood.
OONG
A space was created around Martial Uncle Dylan as his body pulsed with blue light, the seventh style of the secret techniques of Mountain Sea Sect being exhibited by him as [Mountain Sea Sect's Seventh Style- Scylla's Empowerment] was used. A glorious blue light shined out as a powerful presence erupted from him, forming into a transparent figure of a fearsome beast that held six heads, a robust upper body covered by scales, and a lower body that was populated with an uncountable number of transparent tentacles.
Not too far from the Mountain Sea Sect was the large groups of Cultivators from the Karmic Sect. Their bodies became covered by a white light as fearsome power bubbled, but they didn't seem to be making any huge movements after that.
The Warsh.i.p.s and Submarines surrounding Atlantis were glowing with a pulsating blue light as their engines activated with their weapons at the ready.
The Ocean Master rode on a golden [Killer Whale] as he moved with squadrons of Commanders carrying pulsating tridents as they moved to clash with their enemies.
OOOOH!
It was a scene of resplendent deep-sea creatures acting as battle mounts with powerful Atlanteans and Merfolk riding on top of them. The [Plasma Guns] and [Hydro Cannons] had already begun going off as beautiful colors of destructive light rushed forward the forces of Demons and Cultivators.
VOOM! VOOM! VOOM!
Every single second, a terrifying blast of power that could obliterate a Legendary individual whole would be released from the powerful [Hydro Cannons] situated atop the walls of Atlantis.
An all-out war had begun.
RAA!
A piercing scream resounded throughout the battlefield as a silvery light flashed from the side of Atlantis and bloomed near the enemy lines where thousands of [Behemoths] were carrying legions of demons.
