Chapter 146: The Last Day of the Female Imp (5.3k)_2
After absorbing the marine divinity of the Old Sea God Pontos, Keto the mother of sea monsters, and Phorcys the father of sea monsters, the divine power of the sea that the Gorgon Sisters possessed had accumulated to an extremely exaggerated degree. Even ordinary sea deities would not dare to test their sharpness.
However, Luo En on the field remained unflinching and undeterred. Facing the crimson tidal wave, he curled the corner of his lips upward and took a deliberate step forward, chanting divine words.
"The Great Whale grants divine protection, the raging waves shall not overstep..."
Suddenly, behind him, there seemed to be a huge wheel turning, the image of a gold Bull faded away, and in its place, a Great Whale leaped out of the water.
Under the shadow of that phantom, the surrounding blood-red waves, as if meeting their natural enemy, retreated one after another.
From the stands, it looked as if a pair of invisible giant hands descended from the sky, parting the waves that would have submerged the entire arena, revealing the land beneath the water.
How could this be?
Watching her pride, the marine divinity, being suppressed and diffused, Stheno found it even harder to believe.
Seeing Luo En walking towards her with a smile step by step across the seabed land, the proud Medusa was enraged beyond endurance, crossing and waving her hands.
"Whoosh!"
In an instant, the blood-red waves that had been parted on both sides capsized, and the chaotic ether torrents backfilled towards the rift in the center, as well as the figure walking within that rift.
"The waters part above and below, each follows its own way in creation and destruction..."
However, along with a soft chant from underneath the water, the Great Whale shook its head and flicked its tail. The uncontrollable blood-red waves either turned into mist and ascended, then dissipated with the wind; or lost their force, gently swirling at Luo En's feet, like a calm river,
"If this is all you're capable of, then Euryale's one hundred lashes won't be avoidable."
Luo En clapped his hands, reminding with ill intent, while his gaze glanced at the phantom around him, with a hint of satisfaction flickering in his eyes.
—The Great Whale.
Fashioned from the blood of Poseidon and the fragments of the Trident, this second incarnation wielded the authority to control seawater and pacify the waves.
From the looks of it, even the Gorgon Sisters, who had cashed in the gold coins of the old marine forerunners three times, were firmly restrained by him.
However, there was one thing that Luo En really wanted to complain about.
In order to forge this second divine incarnation, the Great Whale, he had used the rewards from two instances of the "Golden Oracle," and he had nearly lost his life on several occasions during the successive battles on Crete Island.
Unlike sister Athena, who bestowed the Cretan Bull as a generous gift in one go and taught him hand in hand how to absorb and utilize divinity and authority, allowing him to effortlessly gain the first divine incarnation, the Bull.
The treatment of the two couldn't be compared; both sensibly and morally, he had to cling to sister Athena's "coattails" and continue to exploit the stingy Sea King.
At that moment, even Stheno, who had been repeatedly frustrated, could not contain her rage any longer. Her apricot-shaped eyes were wide open, her vertically slit pupils suddenly expanding into a blood-red rectangle, gloomily looming over the figure walking towards her.
As their gazes inadvertently met, Luo En's form paused for a moment. A hue of petrification quickly spread from his eyes, creeping toward every part of his body.
Seeing that her unexpected strike had been successful, Stheno's face broke into a triumphant sneer, raising her claws to sweep forward.
Underestimating me? Here's a taste of pain for you!
However, before Stheno could fully release her spite, the deep voice sounded again.
As Luo En lifted his head, the Gorgon suddenly found the gray of petrification in his eyes washed away by a captivating crimson. Grape vines broke out from his body and spread, eventually transforming into a lush grape forest.
A illusion!
Stheno's expression changed at the sight.
At the same time, a teasing whisper sounded behind her.
"Had your laugh?"
In an instant, Stheno's body bristled, her pale purple serpent tail tensed like a spear, reflexively sweeping towards the figure behind her.
Is that all?
Luo En chuckled, the wheel of light behind him turned once more, the invisible pointer shifted to the Bull, and an overwhelming power burst forth from his body. He effortlessly caught the serpent tail sweeping towards him and sneered with a bared grin.
At the same time, the grapevine symbolizing his core divinity, spreading out from the center of the wheel, entwined itself upon the Bull. As if imparting a cask of intoxicatingly strong wine upon the rampaging beast, its eyes flared with a maniacal hue as its already formidable strength doubled, creating a substantial flame of gold and crimson.
Felling the tremendous force that could almost twist off the tip of her tail, Stheno's scalp tingled, and cold sweat the size of beans broke out on her forehead. Immediately, she raised her hands and shouted.
"I surrender!"
"No!"
Just at that moment, a purple figure leapt down from the spectator seats, interrupting her sister's disgraceful behavior, encouraging with ill intent.
"What are you afraid of? Let's take him on together!"
Athena, who should have been maintaining order in the arena, sat on the stands with her arms crossed, showing no intention to intervene, even subtly blocking inquisitive Little Medusa and Hestia under the pretext of casual conversation.
This little rascal is too clandestine. It's about time to use this opportunity to see this kid's true strength.

Sensing the signal released by her Chief God, Euryale, who had been somewhat uneasy, immediately straightened up and also manifested the true form of a Gorgon Sister, ready to strike at her side.
Luo En merely smiled slightly, holding the tip of Stheno's tail in one hand, and producing a shiny whip in the other, his magnetic voice echoing softly.
