It's hard to imagine such a humanized expression on the face of the Sea God, so radiant and dazzling...
Poseissi, clutching the Sea God's Trident, was a bit at a loss for words, but his heart was slightly excited.
It seemed that the Sea God was shocked by me.
Well... to be precise, it was because of Senior Lin Yi's vast divine powers.
It was the cooperation between me and Senior Lin Yi that shocked the Sea God!
"This..."
"You..."
The Sea God, pointing at the trident and looking at Poseissi, was so astounded that he couldn't utter a complete sentence.
"Did you pull this from the Temple of the Sea God?"
The Sea God's tone revealed doubt; clearly, he couldn't believe this explanation. Without the Sea God's inheritance, how could Poseissi possibly pull it out with such ease?
Moreover, had it been pulled out, he would have definitely sensed it. In his senses, the trident was still in the Temple of the Sea God, unmoved.
Therefore, the appearance of this trident could only have one explanation...
Upon hearing the Sea God's question, Poseissi immediately shook his head.
The Sea God then swallowed nervously, stealthily glancing at Lin Yi standing behind her, and asked in a whisper, "Is it... him?"
Poseissi immediately nodded like a pecking chicken.
The Sea God, unsettled, took several steps back.
He lifted his head as if gazing at a certain space above, his mouth moving anxiously, "Honored ones! Please take me back! I can't handle this matter!"
Poseissi also raised her head and looked up at the sky, but she didn't know what the Sea God was looking at.
...
The Evil God looked helplessly at the other deities, "He's asking us for help, what should we do? Should we save him?"
The Destruction God didn't even think and, with a ferocious smile, stepped forward, "I'll go! Watch me rip Lin Yi to shreds!"
He hadn't taken a step when his arm was tightly gripped by his wife.
The Asura God analyzed calmly at that moment, "Actually, I think not even all five of us could necessarily defeat him alone."
"Nonsense! We haven't even fought yet! How do you know!"
Destruction retorted in a gloomy, hoarse voice.
After he spoke, the Life Goddess glared at him with her eyes, and he instantly became a bit more compliant.
Evil: "Should we respond to the Sea God? He seems to be waiting for our reply."
The Asura God shook his head gravely, "No, even using Divine Sense to reply might alert Lin Yi. We cannot reveal that we're observing him; it could affect tonight's actions."
"However, from what I understand, as long as the Sea God does as Lin Yi instructed, he should be able to return safely."
"Hopefully..."
...
Where are you all?!
Are you five pretending not to see this?!
The Sea God looked towards the sky in utter bewilderment.
You are five Supreme Gods! Can't you control just one person?!
Just then, a voice came from ahead.
"Stop the futile struggle. Imbue her with all the divine techniques of the trident, and you'll be able to return. Let me remind you, this is not a request; these are my rules."
Lin Yi's tone was calm, yet full of provocation and threats that one could sense.
The Sea God frowned at him, "What if I'm not willing?"
He only knew Lin Yi as someone who "drops treasures" and was unclear about the extent of Lin Yi's abilities.
Any god faced with such a threat would instinctively resist, and the Sea God, being a powerful First-Level Deity, was no exception.
Poseissi's expression suddenly stiffened, and she realized that the Sea God truly did not want to teach her, as she indeed lacked the qualifications.
She looked at Lin Yi somewhat awkwardly, "Senior, maybe let's just forget it. It's okay if my reward is cancelled..."
The Sea God took a deep breath, seemingly noticing Poseissi's mood, and spoke, "Poseissi, you should know that this is the rule of Sea God's Island. Not just anyone can possess divine techniques, not even you."
Poseissi lowered her head, nodding somewhat despondently, "I... I understand, Lord Sea God, it's fine."
Yet, she had thought that this time she really could learn the divine technique of the Sea God's Trident...
Lin Yi frowned.
He stood up.
This scene caught everyone by surprise. They all watched the confrontation with alert eyes as if they could foresee what was about to happen.
Lin Yi would erase anything that threatened the efficacy of a reward. That was Lin Yi's principle, a well-known fact to everyone.
Thousand Waves discreetly stepped back as if avoiding disaster, shaking his head and sighing, "Let's observe a moment of silence for the Sea God..."
Lin Yi walked over to Poseissi, decisively lifted his palm, which radiated a dazzling array of colorful light.
The multicolored light represented the power of the System, abilities odd and numerous, now fully at Lin Yi's command.
He made a loose fist with his hand, and suddenly a sonic boom surrounded the Sea God. A white current surged behind him, the Space seemingly crushed, as he shot towards Lin Yi at the speed of light.
"Bang!"
Lin Yi grabbed the front of his blue armor. The Sea God was left dangling, his armor clearly indented by the terrifying strength of Lin Yi's fingers.
The Sea God looked down in shock at his armor, severely deformed by Lin Yi's grasp.
The five deities from another Space suddenly fell silent at this moment.
Lin Yi met his gaze calmly, "I'm going to speak plainly with you now. Since you're part of the reward I've given out, if I exclude you from the reward, you will be considered my enemy."
After he finished speaking, Lin Yi flicked his other hand towards the Sea God's right leg, and "Bang!", a cannon-like white current blasted forth, shattering the entire segment of armor on the Sea God's right leg into pieces.
Poseissi covered her mouth, stepping back silently, her eyes unmistakable with shock.
Lin Yi and the Sea God locked eyes. Lin Yi said, "Teach her."
The Sea God's mind seemed to have crashed, only managing to respond, "Yes... yes."
Lin Yi's mouth curled slightly, and he loosened the grip of his hand.
The Sea God fell to the ground, while Lin Yi looked down at the fallen deity, opening his palm to let the blue fragments of armor fall.
He then glanced up at a certain part of the Sky, where the four Law Enforcers almost instinctively tensed up and took a step back, as if afraid of being spotted by Lin Yi; only the Destruction God stood still, looking dumbfounded.
By the time they regained their composure, Lin Yi had already returned to his original seat.
The disheveled Sea God slowly stood up, waving his hand through the air to try to restore the shattered armor, but the fragments and distortions responded with no effect at all.
His attack, it was an irreparable blow of Destruction for me... the Sea God was shocked once more.
"Are you okay?"
Poseissi tentatively asked from the side.
"Ah?!"
The Sea God jumped, gasping for breath and managing a smile uglier than crying, "I'm fine... all good, that..."
"The divine technique of the Sea God's Trident, do you want to learn it? I'll teach you!"
