When he saw that thing, if he weren't underwater, he would have burst out laughing.

It turned out to be the Extraordinary Weapon "Bloody Lake Light" belonging to Thomas Gregory!

"Hahaha, this guy who volunteered to go to Golden Lion City to find the mole, couldn't have been casually taken out by Hawkins, could he?"

At that time, after Danfo Mafia defeated Thomas, he didn't realize how precious the "Bloody Lake Light" was, which had already used up its built-in Combat Qi, so he just placed it in his room like an ordinary Extraordinary Weapon.

After encountering unexpected changes, there was no time to consider this "ordinary" trophy.

This allowed Aiven to get an incredible bargain.

In terms of the weapon's value alone, it was fully qualified to be placed in the third layer of the treasury, alongside the treasures plundered by the Pirates!

Without hesitation, he put it into his own "Magic Pocket," pretending he had never seen it.

Afterward, as long as he found a way to "recharge" it, he could immediately gain a powerful ace that could contend with a Great Knight for a short period of time.

However, that wasn't all.

Before surfacing, Aiven discovered something else in the seabed's silt, even though it was damaged, it still shone golden and was as imperious as that powerful nation—the "Thistle Crown"!

Hiss—

He took a sharp breath.

He quickly put it away, pretending not to notice it as well.

Boom!

Holding the Alchemy Secret Box that could be described as "rich enough to rival a nation," Aiven surfaced with a rich harvest.

Under the protection of his loyal crew members, as he slowly waited, his thoughts wandered as he gazed at the distant sea.

The arrogant bankers had clearly paid a terrible price for their arrogance.

It's just unclear what the upper echelons will do regarding this box afterward.

Will they quietly embezzle or return it for a fee? Or perhaps be ruthless and eliminate all the remaining Bank Group members, pinning it on Hawkins? Cough, cough.

At this point, Aiven suddenly found the box somewhat hot to handle.

Looking at the distant sea with its vast flashes of lightning, his harvest was already great enough; he just hoped that the "Rose Sword Saint" would return soon and quickly take this hot potato away.

Currently, Aiven's perspective was not high enough to realize that behind the massive loss of the Bank Group and the Sea Witch's return lay a much deeper impact far beyond this mere wealth!

....

Sending away their respective subordinates, with no worries behind.

In the distant sea, thousands of kilometers from the coast, the two goddesses who ruled the Black Sea were once again engaged in combat.

These two were obviously the typical case of people who were ruthless and spoke little, already showcasing part of their Mythical Form through their divine powers, opening fire with all their might.

"Sea Witch" Hipponeo ruled the Black Sea itself, with raging waves and rushing currents as his incarnations. At this moment, Hipponeo's humanized form had quietly disappeared, transforming into a giant eye resembling a vortex, with chains made of innumerable Water Tornadoes swirling around him like an eyelid, spinning rapidly.

Rumble rumble rumble—

And the "Mother of Sea Monsters" Echet governed the extensions of the Black Sea, possessing the power to manipulate destructive weather phenomena and transform all marine creatures into Sea Monsters. He manifested as a giant face composed of dark clouds and hurricanes, with thick clouds swirling in the position of hair, like countless giant snakes writhing and hissing.

Hiss hiss hiss—

Amidst the raging wind, torrential rain, thunder, and lightning...

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!...

Chains shot up into the sky, colliding violently with "giant snakes" descending from the skies, the deafening thunder echoing across the sea for a long time.

It was as if the sky and sea were engaged in a duel, where "chains" and "giant snakes" were merely manifestations of each side's power in the Material World. In reality, each attack was a collision between their respective paths and divine powers!

Although their battle range was actually just a few dozen kilometers, it gave people a feeling:

If they determined the winner, either the sky or the ocean would inevitably follow in its destruction!

This feeling, while not accurate, was not too far off in terms of consequences.

Once they fully unleashed their abilities, a massive disaster, brewed by their divine powers, had already begun.

A hurricane and tsunami exceeding the largest ever recorded by humans were amassing power, their leading edge already beginning to slowly spread out.

Whoo whoo whoo whoo....

Woooooo....

At the coast.

The raging tide, the gale capable of uprooting trees, and the infinite power of heaven and sea began to manifest.

The six island nations of the Tulip Alliance bore the brunt of it, from Tyrone, Ilya, Paros, Phaletis, Thessaly, to the Tulip Duchy, all bordering the Black Sea, already personally experienced the wrath of this vast sea.

Further away, Hilus, Atlant, Sak, Heimar... not a single nation was spared.

Amidst panic, countless Divination Masters, Prophets, and Priests hired by the Royal Families were summoned by their respective rulers, attempting to figure out what was happening on this sea!

This vividly showed the detrimental impact of the direct clash between these two goddesses.

Though it wouldn't literally tear the Black Sea apart or tip the heavens and earth upside down, causing deaths a hundred or thousand times worse than the Hawkins Tsunami was effortlessly within reach.

Moreover, as time went on, the two goddesses had truly ignited their fire.

There might be Rule Gods in this world who operate merely by following established rules, but these two were both demigods. Even though they had attained Eternity, their Human Nature far surpassed their Divinity.

Of course, there was love, hate, joy, and loathing!

Even having just escaped from a sealing of over three hundred years, despite being at a disadvantage against the aggressive "Mother of Sea Monsters" Echet, Hipponeo had no thoughts of retreating.

Echet certainly didn't need saying so.

Now, they would love nothing more than for the other to die; absorbing the other's Divinity and Divine Position through the association of Divine Office would make it not a dream to become the complete Black Sea Sea God.

"You traitor! Thief!"

"Hmph, you who were abandoned by history and believers, why have you returned?!"

In the depths of the sea, amidst the roaring, it was as if millions of tons of seawater were lifted, turning into a flowing staff that shot towards the sky.

Amidst the sea of clouds, it seemed as though a halberd formed by thunder and dark clouds was slowly descending towards the sea amidst rumbling thunder.

The confrontation based on the ultimate authority was like two great nations finally bringing out their ultimate weaponry to launch a nuclear war, where maybe no one would be the victor.

Seeing this ultimate disaster was hard to reverse, and the mouth of the Leiden River and the coast of the Tyrone Kingdom, already heavily ravaged, were bound to bear the brunt of it.

A massive black shadow swept across the bottom of the clouds, speeding like lightning.

Whizz whizz whizz——

At the ship's bottom of the "Divine Demon Wings," two rows of "Eyes of Magma" emitted a blazing red light trying to halt their confrontation, while Thunderbolt Halberd Augustus already called out:

"His Holiness the Pope!"

On the deck of the "Divine Demon Wings".

An elder with white hair wore a cross-embellished Golden Crown, draped in a luxurious robe woven with gold, silver thread, silk, and various gemstones, raising high in hand a staff that seemed like a spruce whose bark hadn't been peeled clean.

Compared to the elder's attire, the seemingly unassuming black branch was, in fact, the sacred relic of the "Black Iron Cross Church," the "Staff of the Humble," representing Life Force, Eternity, and Sanctity.

It rooted in the earth, headed to the sky, forming a connection between the Material World and the Goddess Realm!

[Highest-Rank Divine Skill: Holy Descent!]

A glorious Holy Light enveloped the Pope from the unfathomable unknown place.

Amidst the grand and ethereal hymn.

Another great existence descended upon the battlefield of the gods!
