I can receive unlimited protection; my parents handed me over to the state.

A massive beam of energy, even more dazzling and intense than sunlight, descended from the sky!

Like the spear of God's retribution!

It struck precisely at the point where the enormous mud monster Shoggoth met the filthy sea below it!

"BOOM—!!!"

A small mushroom cloud rose slowly over the sea!

The extreme heat instantly evaporated tens of thousands of tons of seawater!

The enormous Shoggoth, struck by this earth-shattering attack, didn't even have time to utter a scream.

Along with the filthy sea on which it depended for survival, it was completely evaporated and decomposed, turning into the most primitive particles!

Thus, the four guardian gods that Amphitrite, the goddess queen of Atlantis, was so proud of...

Under the combined attack of the two generations of top experts in China, they were all wiped out!

The entire battlefield fell into a moment of deathly silence.

All the surviving Atlantean soldiers stared at the dozen or so god-like figures in the sky with eyes that seemed to look at ghosts.

Their faith collapsed at that moment.

Meanwhile, on the Chinese side, both the fleet at the rear and the bigwigs in the command center...

A deafening cheer erupted from all sides!

Won!

We won!

This seemingly hopeless battle is a desperate struggle!

They actually managed to defeat them!

"No...no..."

On the flagship's throne, Amphitrite watched this humiliating defeat with utter despair.

Her aloof, divine demeanor finally crumbled.

For the first time, a look of "fear" appeared on her face.

She wanted to escape!

All she wanted to do right now was escape back to that enormous blue vortex!

They escaped back to the protection of the sea god!

However, just as she was about to order a retreat,

A calm voice, yet like a death knell, rang in her ears.

"You only want to leave now?"

Isn't it getting a little late?

Amphitrite suddenly looked up!

The black-clad youth who had been silently clearing out the fodder soldiers from the rear since the start of the battle was now visible.

Unbeknownst to her, they had already silently appeared before her flagship throne.

He was looking at her with amusement.

It's like watching prey about to be served at the dinner table.

"It's you..."

Amphitrite looked at the black-clad youth who had suddenly appeared before her, and for the first time, a hint of solemnity and... apprehension appeared in her deep blue eyes.

From the start of the battle until now, her attention has been focused on Gu Tianye, Xiang Batian, and the three SSS-level Star Envoys who appeared later.

These people's power was violent, direct, and visually striking, forcing her to deal with them with all her might.

On the contrary, the boy who had been in the rear the whole time, using seemingly ordinary energy blasts to clear out those cannon fodder whom she considered insignificant,

She subconsciously ignored it.

But now, as this young man silently broke through the blockade of her endless tidal legion,

They broke through her personal guard's defenses, and even breached the domain enveloped by her divine power.

When he appeared less than ten meters in front of her,

An unprecedented sense of deadly crisis instantly enveloped her heart!

This boy is the most dangerous one among this group of "terrestrial species"!

"Who are you?" Amphitrite asked, her voice hoarse.

She tried to use her divine power to investigate the other party's background.

But they discovered that the other person's body was like a bottomless black hole.

Her divine power probed in, but it vanished without a trace, like a stone sinking into the sea.

"I?"

Lu Yuan smiled.

"I am just an ordinary blacksmith."

By the way, I'll also be acting as the team leader for this makeshift, temporary crew.

blacksmith?

team leader?

Amphitrite didn't believe a word of it.

"What do you want?" she asked warily, gripping the scepter tightly.

"I don't want to do anything."

Lu Yuan shrugged, looking completely harmless.

"I just think your fire poker looks pretty good."

And this shabby chair you're sitting on, made of tortoise shells and rotten coral...

And this dress you're wearing, strung together with pearls and broken stones.

They're all quite unique.

So, I'd like to borrow it from you to study it.

Every word Lu Yuan uttered was filled with understated humiliation.

He actually called the divine artifact bestowed upon her by the sea god, the "Scepter of the Sea God," a fire poker.

How can the Throne of the Queen, crafted from the bones of the legendary creature "Starry Sea Turtle," be described as a broken chair?

To call the "Goddess's Attire," made of millions of "Pearls of the Azure Sea" containing the power of the water element, a tattered skirt?

"You...you're asking for it!"

Amphitrite was utterly enraged!

Her divine pride would not allow anyone to blaspheme her like that!

She suddenly pointed the azure blue [Scepter of the Sea God] at Lu Yuan!

"Divine Punishment: Deep Sea Cage!"

"Buzz—!"

The space around Lu Yuan instantly distorted!

Countless blue chains, composed of the purest water elements and divine power, appeared out of thin air!

They coiled around Lu Yuan from all directions!

Each of these chains contains terrifying power enough to imprison a giant dragon!

Once entangled, even an SSS-level Star Envoy wouldn't be able to break free!

However, faced with this divine punishment powerful enough to seal off space,

Lu Yuan didn't even move.

He simply held up one finger.

Then, gently tap the blue chains that were rushing towards you.

"Rule rewriting and structural collapse".

"Click... Click..."

A bizarre scene unfolded.

Those seemingly indestructible chains of divine power, when they were still half a meter away from Lu Yuan,

It just collapsed bit by bit from the most basic structural level without any warning!

It transformed into the most primordial water element and dispersed into the air.

It was as if they had never existed.

"This...this...what kind of power is this?!"

Amphitrite's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets!

She had absolutely no idea what had just happened!

That's not about using greater force to destroy it.

It's more like a "dimensional reduction attack" from a higher dimension!

It's like a programmer directly modifying the game's underlying code!

This renders the very concept of "chains" invalid!

"I've already said, I'm just a blacksmith."

Lu Yuan withdrew his finger and said with an innocent look on his face.

"However, I'm not forging iron."

It's not about rules, but rather 'rules'.

After saying that, he stopped rambling.

With a flash, he appeared in front of Amphitrite in an instant!

"not good!"

A warning sign was blaring in Amphitrite's mind!

Without a second thought, she poured all her divine power into the [Goddess's Attire] she was wearing!

"Buzz!"

A dreamlike blue light curtain composed of millions of pearls firmly protected her inside!

This is the absolute defense of the [Moonlight Pearl over the Vast Ocean]!

It's powerful enough to withstand an energy bombardment at the level of a main cannon!

However, Lu Yuan did not attack the light barrier at all.

He simply reached out his hand.

Then, in an extremely frivolous manner,

He pinched Amphitrite's pointed chin.

"you……"

Amphitrite was completely dumbfounded.

She could feel the other person's warm fingers touching her skin.

A strange feeling, which made her feel both humiliated and terrified, spread throughout her body.

She was the wife of the sea god, the queen of Atlantis.

He actually got... teased by a lowly terrestrial being?!

"Don't move."

Lu Yuan looked into her blue eyes, which were filled with humiliation and anger, and said calmly.

Let me take a good look.

A doll crafted from the blood and soul of a god.

What exactly is its structure?

Lu Yuan's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Amphitrite's mind!

A doll?!

He actually said he was a doll?!

"How...how did you know?!"

She gasped in shock.

This is Atlantis's top secret!

It was also her biggest secret!

She is not a life in the true sense of the word.

She is an "agent" created by Poseidon using one of his own ribs and a remnant of the soul of the first queen of the gods!

A perfect agent of God!

No one knew about this except Poseidon himself and the other governors of the Seven Seas!

How did you figure out it was a terrestrial species?!

Is it difficult?

Lu Yuan curled his lip.

"Your soul's energy is completely incompatible with your physical body."

Moreover, your divine power wasn't something you cultivated yourself.

It's more like it was 'borrowed' from some more powerful being.

Full of loopholes.

With your shoddy, half-finished product,

In our blacksmithing jargon, it doesn't even qualify as a "defective product".

It's at best considered "waste material."

Lu Yuan's comments were as precise and scathing as a surgical scalpel.

This completely shattered Amphitrite's psychological defenses!

"ah--!!"

She let out a sharp scream!

A divine power far more terrifying and violent than before erupted from her body!

I'm going to kill you!!

I will tear you, along with your soul, to pieces!

She's completely gone mad!

She didn't hesitate to burn her own divine soul essence to forcefully break free from Lu Yuan's control!

Then, she bit the tip of her tongue.

He spat a mouthful of blood containing the essence of the gods onto the [Scepter of the Sea God]!

"With my blood, I offer this sacrifice!"

With my soul as the guide!

I respectfully invite my Lord, Poseidon, the god of the sea!

May your supreme divine power descend!

Annihilate this sinner who blasphemes before us!

"BOOM—!!!"

The entire East China Sea trembled violently at that moment!

The enormous blue vortex that connects to the world of Atlantis began to expand rapidly at an insane speed!

A terrifying will capable of eclipsing the very fabric of the world.

It is slowly awakening from the other side of the vortex!

it's dark.

The sea is roaring.

The world seemed to tremble under the majesty of this ancient god who was about to descend!

This is Amphitrite's last trump card!

It is also the strongest power she can wield as the agent of God!

Summon the projection of Poseidon's will, the god of the sea, to descend!

"Boom—!!"

The sky is mourning.

The sea is roaring.

The entire East China Sea battlefield was plunged into extreme chaos and instability, with all matter and energy at large.

That enormous blue vortex had expanded to a despairing degree, almost covering half the sky.

At the center of the vortex, the deep blue was no longer replaced by a pure darkness that seemed capable of swallowing all light.

An ancient, grand, and infinitely majestic will, beyond description, is slowly descending from that darkness!

This was merely the aftershock of that will.

Everyone present, whether human star messengers or Atlantean soldiers, felt a chill that came from the depths of their souls!

It was as if an invisible, giant hand of God had gripped their throats, making it incredibly difficult for them to even breathe!

"This...this is...the real Kamui?"

High in the sky, inside the cockpit of the Tian Shu mecha, stood a dashing, short-haired woman...

Looking at the energy readings on the radar, which had completely exceeded the limit and even burned out several sensors, his voice carried an unprecedented solemnity.

"Good heavens... This is far more terrifying than that old Zhulong we encountered in the Kunlun Mountains..."

Even the burly senior Zhenshan's body was slightly hunched.

He could feel that his proud power of the earth was being completely suppressed in the face of this pure divine power of the ocean.

"Attention all units! This is not a drill!"

A reaction to the descent of an extraordinary divine being has been detected!

Repeat! A reaction to the descent of a super-divine being has been detected!

Back at the Huaxia temporary command post, piercing alarms blared throughout!

Su Lie and Qian Sen, the two big shots, turned pale as they looked at the terrifying vortex on the screen that was about to swallow the entire East China Sea.

They anticipated that Atlantis would be very powerful.

However, they never expected that...

The other side actually managed to summon their "god"!

Although it may just be a projection of will

However, this has completely exceeded the limits of what humanity can currently cope with!

"It's over..."

Li Qingcang slumped into a chair, his eyes filled with despair.

"How can we fight like this?"

This is not even a war on a single dimension...

despair.

A despair a hundred times deeper than when facing the four lords once again enveloped everyone's hearts.

However, in this deathly silence,

Lu Yuan, the instigator, remained calm.

He even had the leisure to raise his head and observe with great interest the enormous figure that was slowly emerging from the dark vortex.

It was a towering figure whose height was immeasurable, seemingly blending into the entire world.

He wore a golden crown and held a trident that crackled with lightning.

A pair of eyes, as bright as stars, looked down upon this tiny world below.

Although it was still just a blurry phantom,

But that domineering aura of a god who reigns supreme and controls all things is overwhelming!

"Tsk tsk."

Lu Yuan clicked his tongue and let out a sigh that was hard to decipher.

"Did you finally get the person in question to come out?"

I thought you could hold on a little longer.

He lowered his head and looked at Amphitrite, who was so weak from sacrificing most of his divine soul essence that she could barely stand, and curled his lips in disapproval.

"Useless."

"You...you devil..."

Amphitrite looked at Lu Yuan's utterly disrespectful eyes and said in a trembling voice.

"My Lord Poseidon has come!"

You and those lowly insects behind you will all be reduced to ashes in the wrath of God!

"Yeah?"

Lu Yuan smiled, a very happy smile.

Ashes? No, no, no.

In my eyes as a blacksmith,

There is no word for 'ashes'.

There are only 'materials' and things that 'can be turned into materials'.

He extended a finger and pointed to the majestic phantom of a god in the sky.

Then, in an extremely arrogant tone, he uttered a statement that made everyone present think they were hallucinating.

"This huge aggregate of 'divine rules'..."

If you melt it...

"We should be able to get a lot of good stuff, right?"
