Chapter 187 - Opposing forces near
In the dark waters of the Lost World.
The Oppressive Tyrant, Baal, had met with the forces of the Cultivators as they made their way towards the city of technology and magic. It was an oppressive force that was spreading throughout the sea as they came across empty underwater cities with the Merfolk and the Atlanteans already evacuated. Anything of value like weaponry or any advanced technology was already taken along with the evacuated inhabitants.
The Demon Legions left nothing in their wake as they destroyed anything they came across and searched the cities in the entirety. Their goal remained the same as they looked like a sharp spear that was aimed towards Atlantis.
With their movements getting closer, those facing their assault in Atlantis were moving even faster. The Ocean Master was sending out many commands and looking at the defensive lines around the city. Many more Hydro Cannons were implanted in the walls as military warsh.i.p.s and submarines were positioned and ready.
At the entrance of the city were tremendously large golden statues that protected the glowing road that led through the heavily fortified triangular gate that pulsed with an energy barrier. The statues had not moved an inch for years, with only a few older Atlanteans and Merfolk knowing a few secrets about them.
One was a green Merfolk that stood strongly looking forward with a golden trident in hand that was eerily similar to a treasure that many people had been looking for. The other was an Atlantean equipped with a battle armor shining purple and gold as he held the largest Plasma Gun pointing out into the sea.
These were the same statues that Noah had seen when he first arrived in Atlantis, but there was a slight change in these statues today. A pulse of light seemed to be appearing and disappearing in their blank eyes as they continued to stand motionlessly beside the gate.
Past the gates, legions of Atlanteans and Merfolk riding golden [Killer Whales] menacing [Great White Sharks] were prepared as Atlanteans and Merfolk got ready for the fight of their lives.
The Ocean Master's mind drifted to one exceptional Atlantean that had recently become a Seeker. Would he be able to succeed in the quest of bringing back the Trident of the Sea into the hands of its children? The body of the Ocean Master crackled with Phantasmal power as he showed no ounce of weakness, his figure floating grandly atop the underwater palace as he oversaw the moving figures of the city and the many advanced weaponry they were carrying.
The incoming flow of Atlanteans and Merfolk from surrounding cities was occurring in a calm and collected manner as they went through an orderly process to obtain temporary lodgings in Atlantis. Everything seemed to be taken care of as they waited for the arrival of their enemies.
OONG!
A rumbling sound could be heard at this instant as the Ocean Master's face turned hard and he looked towards one direction.
Above the city of Atlantis, a tremendously large figure of a Kaiju had appeared. This one had a weird shape, looking more like a mixture of an eel and an iguana. Its body sparkled with blue lightning as it looked down towards Atlantis and let out a snort.
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.
