Chapter 299 - The Throne of the Sea God
Chapter 299: The Throne of the Sea God
Jonathan sat on Hellem’s head and went into the Bazaar Sea. Half of Hellem’s brain was composed of metal cells, which took the form of gears, steam canons, weapons and consoles. As such, its brain was like a fortress at wartime!
Isaac, the crazy alchemist, was a student of the legendary alchemist Marina. He had combined alchemy with Blood Witchcraft to upgrade a Child of the Sea to a level four creature.
With this creature, Isaac had been able to dominate part of the Stormy Sea. It was because of this that Jonathan noticed Isaac.
Jonathan was the third one to arrive at the Bazaar Sea, following Stormy Fairy Olicia and Mermaid Queen Gina. Besides them, there were also a large number of mermaids and Koutao sahagins holding steel forks and waiting outside of the film.
It wasn’t long before a giant alchemy submarine arrived from a distance at great speed. It was being captained by Bobby, who then entered the film as well.
Jonathan looked on curiously, while many illusory shadows that emitted white light were constantly drifting around Hellem. He then asked, “What are they?”
“They call them the prayers. These are the lingering souls of the sea god believers!” Gina, the Mermaid Queen, told Jonathan that this was a special spiritual language that enabled spiritual communication.
Originally, this language was used by members of the church. It was then transformed and perfected by wizards before it gradually became a specific language used by the extraordinary ones.
Within the whole city of Yousar, there were a large number of prayers. These people had been believers of the sea god when they were alive, so their souls had automatically gathered in Yousar after their deaths.
Innumerable souls surrounded the huge temple in the city. They were all in a state of perplexity and were constantly whispering prayers.
Olicia felt unusually agitated at the moment. As she was the first to arrive here, she found that it was necessary to gather all the successors who were selected by the sea god in order to be able to open the door of the temple.
“The door is open!” she exclaimed.
The huge gate slowly opened, and even the huge alchemy sea monster Hellem looked extremely small in front of it. At this time, a huge shadow appeared in the temple.
Wizards, priests, and alchemists were all familiar with it, as the churches summoned it from the Divine Kingdom many times in order to suppress heresy.
As an alchemist, Jonathan recognized it immediately. “The Holy Spirit?”
As the Holy Spirit’s eyes swept over the group of four, Gina immediately felt a strong force coming from it. But, what attracted their attentions most was the divine personality in the sky.
An infinite power was constantly emanating from the divine personality and covering the whole city of Yousar. Apparently, both the film and the prayers relied on this divine personality for their existences. In fact, everything here seemed to depend on the power of this divine personality!
There was also a blood bead that was floating in front of the giant statue of the sea god. At the moment, the four descendants who had Sakun’s blood felt the blood inside of them burning fiercely. Together, along with the alchemy sea monster Hellem, they all let out a collective yell.
The Mermaid Queen Gina’s expression changed as she said to the others, “Sea god’s blood! The trial is about to begin! We can’t quit halfway!”
Then, as the great Holy Spirit emitted a bright light, the door slowly closed.
Gina was the first to say, “I’m in!”
“Yes!” agreed Olicia.
The sahagin alchemist looked at Gina, the Mermaid Queen, then hesitated for a while before finally agreeing as well. “OK!”
When it was Jonathan’s turn, he suddenly said, “I can quit now and not join in the fight, but whoever succeeds must fulfill their promise.”
All of a sudden, everyone looked at Jonathan. Gina was not surprised. After all, it was the alchemy sea monster Hellem that had Sakun’s blood. If Jonathan was not mad, he would have never let Hellem join in. Hellem could be a decent opponent of a level four sea monster, but it could never beat the one who ignited the divine fire and became half divine!
“Yes!”
“Yes!”
“Yes!”
When the other three agreed at the same time, Jonathan smiled, then left the temple without hesitation.
After he left Yousar, a large number of mermaids gathered, as well as the extraordinary human beings and even a fleet of elves. They had all come to witness the birth of a new sea god.
More than a dozen days later, the light came from the bottom of the ocean and rushed into the sky. The city of Yousar collapsed in an instant, slowly falling into the deep trench. As it fell, two figures hurriedly escaped from it, then quickly left the Bazaar Sea and fled far away.
Half a month later, Gina, who had Sakun’s blood, ignited the divine fire and transformed into a divine body, thus acquiring the divine personality. She then walked out from the bottom of the sea as a newly transformed half divine!
Sea waters diverged into two sides, revealing the bottom of the sea between them. Gina then stepped up from the deepest part of the seabed onto the waves.
The sea was now a plaything under her control. All of the people who saw her now bowed their heads as they watched her leave the sea. They all murmured in awe, as the sight of her was truly extraordinary…
“Half divine!”
“Saint on earth!”
“Is this what becoming a god looks like?”
When such a realistic example was thoroughly presented to the people, they felt shocked. This was truly a time of divinity!
Immediately, everyone knew that Gina had succeeded in inheriting the legacy of the ancient sea god and become half divine. Soon after this, the news spread throughout the sea and the world.
The battle for sea god power had come to an end. The Mermaid Kingdom now had total control over the sea. The Kingdom of Rosa d’Oro, the Sean City-State Alliance, and the Kingdom of Mara had all admitted defeat.
Thankfully, the victorious Mermaid Kingdom did not wish to continue the cold war, so the three maritime allies and the Mermaid Kingdom signed trade agreements once again, which launched peaceful trade co-ops and built positive diplomatic relations, thus restoring peace to the ever-turbulent and chaotic sea!

In the floating city, Verthandi, who was standing in front of Lu Zhiyu, pressed down the chess piece representing the sea god on the chessboard. She then raised her head and said, “I won!”
Lu Zhiyu shook his head. “It’s just as boring as I expected!”
As he spoke, Lu Zhiyu suddenly looked at the distant Yala land with joy in his eyes. He then asked, “Has anyone finally begun to ascend the throne?”
Verthandi took her hands away from the chessboard and said, “Bernice, the harvest goddess!”
