Chapter 9: Dimensional Infighting
The figure of the Sea King had already been stacked with several blurry images in front of Carette's eyes, and his threatening and fierce voice gradually drifted away:
"Any liquid in the world is under my control, and your blood is no exception! If you want me to kill you, why bother with knives and guns......
This is truly a terrifying experience that has never been seen before, teaching people to want a quick liberation without being able to endure the suffering before the lamp dies, and Carette thinks that this process is the real "death"!
It's no wonder that Terry has repeatedly reminded himself that now he finally feels the horror of Aquaman's power! This terrifying origin comes from Aquaman himself. He didn't have to end anyone's life himself, let alone have his hands stained with the other party's blood, he just had to give a "kill" idea and then quietly watch to stop the cycle of life.
There will be no violent and bloody slaughter in the whole process, and he will always smile benevolently, looking down like a god on the last moment of the world.
He is a true god -
Kareta felt her heart beat slower and lighter, and the moment her vision was about to plunge into darkness, the haze of death unexpectedly broke away from her, and she was able to move and scream, and her body was back in circulation.
Kareta was paralyzed on the ground and trembled like chaff, tears flooding out like a floodgate, breathing in the hard-won air, her eyes still guarding every move of the Sea King, but there was no longer the anger and unwillingness that she had before except for the despair of Xeno.
She finally admitted that she had lost, not to the skilled Aquaman, but to the cowardice in her heart. "Death" seems to be a very simple and direct word when talking and laughing with anyone, but after really experiencing a brush with it, both humans and gods will realize that they are so timid and weak in the face of it, and they will find that they are so greedy and yearning for life.
Aquaman paced steadily, leaning down and reaching out with two fingers to grip the weapon that Kareta was gripping tightly, causing her to struggle for a while.
"W-calm! Good girl. ”
Aquaman only used a slight force on his fingertips to easily snatch the fancy dinner knife and throw it away. The moment he picked up her head and saw the tears flowing across her delicate face, the fire of desire ~ hope in his eyes became even stronger.
"Poseidon, let me go back... No matter what feud you have with Demos, it's useless to take me hostage. Demos won't care about me, he'll go find another woman when I'm dead, and you won't get anything from him..."
Kareta was close to pleading, as long as she could escape from the clutches of Aquaman, at this point she would rather abandon her self-esteem.
In fact, those words also came from the bottom of her heart, and she actually thought of Yusia in this situation. Her tragic death made Carette see the cold-blooded ruthlessness of the dark god and taught her his terrifying cruelty.
In the midst of pain and hesitation, she felt even more helpless, and she couldn't help crying.
"Do you know why I found you to deal with Demos?"
Aquaman squinted slightly at the ever-changing expression on Karete's face, his eyes turned sharp, as if he had a firm grasp of all her emotions.
"Demos truly loves you, but you not only don't appreciate it, but you also abuse his love for you, and such willful and reckless actions will kill him sooner or later!"
The sudden answer made Carreta immediately stop her grief.
After more than ten seconds, she finally hung her head weakly, and snorted:
"Anyway...... Please let me go...... It's useless to keep me for you, you really won't get anything..."
Aquaman let out a long laugh at Kareta's entire face of despair. With laughter, he reached out and lifted the tablecloth of the table, toppling the various cutlery on it to the ground. After the "clanging" sounded, he picked up Carret's clayy body and laid her down on the empty table.
"Then let's try it and see what I can get, how much I get..."
Aquaman said coldly and slowly, his gaze always wandering in front of the pair of soft ~ peaks on Karet's upper body. Extreme fear and the drenching cold caused her to tremble involuntarily, causing the two peaks that towered above to tremble uneasily.
Poseidon struggled to cover up and resist the pair of stunners as she tried to get her hands on them. His eyes flickered, and he smiled and stared at her humiliated and weeping expression.
"I just like to enjoy the pleasure of plundering, and I will snatch everything that belongs to Demos! He never told you that Kareta has a very important treasure in his hands, a treasure important to the future of the Titans......"
Treasure......?
Kareta listened in spite of her fear. Now that Poseidon had stopped halfway through her words, she was already sure in her trembling cowardice that obtaining the unknown treasure was the ultimate goal of Aquaman's abduction and coercion of Demos!
"Demos had that treasure in the first place, but he deftly disguised it in his dealings with you. So when I finish him off, you might as well follow me with all your heart......"
As he spoke, Aquaman slowly approached the surprised Karet, and her thin cold lips almost sealed her half-closed mouth.
"King—"
A helpless cry came in from the door, and Medusa was leaning feebly against the open half-door, and was about to fall if it weren't for the suspension of her hands.
Her face was shocked and aggrieved, and she couldn't believe that what she was seeing was not a dream but a fact that was happening.
"Why are you here?"
Poseidon's demeanor immediately became regular, and although his expression was somewhat embarrassed, he was generally able to deal with it calmly, and while talking to Medusa, he was quickly fastening a few loose buttons in his coat.
"I heard the sound of falling things, so... You guys..."
"It's nothing, I'm just joking around with Karete. ”
Aquaman walked over quickly, put his arm around Medusa's shoulders and coaxed:
"Don't worry too much. Let's go, let's go rest!"
"But you clearly said you wanted to take her by your side, and you like her?"
"Don't take it seriously, I'm lying to her......"
Medusa is not stupid, how can she be easily relieved as a woman?After walking a few steps and looking back, her jealous gaze frequently fell on Carette's graceful figure and long shining hair, and she realized that her position in the favor of the Sea King had probably been shaken by the young and beautiful female messenger in front of her.
——
"Demos, stop—someone is coming and stop him—"
The Dark Temple of another dimension is in shambles.
The god of darkness, Demos, strode forward with the crystal ball that sealed the Athena gem in one hand, and was suddenly intercepted by the crowd of guards who swarmed in the black press.
"You will rebel against ——!"
Demos let out a loud shout. He was followed by a group of his own guards, and when he heard the wrath of his master, he immediately rushed to the front, and used the weapons in his hands to resist the posture of Cali and the others.
"You're a madman!"
Cali caught up and stood between the two groups of guards.
"Do you think that the Athena Jewel is just your own business, and you don't have to say anything to me when you come or go!"
"There's no need, Cali, you seem to have forgotten who the king of this temple is!
Today, Demos's temper is simply terrible, and he has no patience to waste his energy with such a crumbling pawn. He is currently bent on flying out of another dimension with the gem to the bottom of the sea. When his emotions were high, he shook his head desperately, and his black hair immediately looked messy.
"For the sake of Karete, you don't hesitate to gamble on the fate of the Dark Clan, what qualifications do you have to be king!"
The word "speechless" could not have been more apt for Cali, who was choked on by Demos. When she realizes that she has made a serious mistake, she immediately covers her mouth, but the water is overwhelmed.
"You know that I gave the gem to her? I never gave you the slightest message, but you seem to know the whole thing? You know it's Possetton, the king of the sea?"
Demos had clearly heard the clues, and the excitement in his eyes shone brighter.
"I sent someone to inform you to come back, just to make arrangements with you as soon as possible, but you ...... Devoted to the human world, to Karete......"
Compared to just now, Cali's demeanor was much more relaxed and calm.
"You never told me it was Poseidon...... You're ......trying to get rid of Kareta by someone else's hand, are you? Betrayed me?"
Demos looked at the goddess in front of him who had accompanied him for many years and was regarded as the only dear relative in the world, and his expression began to turn to pain.
"I betrayed you?
Kali sneered and repeated his words sadly.
"If I were to betray you, would I still teach this gem to hold so securely in your hands here and now?
"Putting aside our emotions and becoming selfish and numb, how different is this from the Olympus gods we have always resented..."
Demos groaned heartily, but the light in Lang Lang's dark eyes had softened, and all blame and resentment had been replaced by slump and sadness.
"Only the Athena Jewel can knock on the door of the Temple of Poseidon, and now I have to take that risk. ”
"No! Underwater warfare is not your specialty at all, and you can't use your weaknesses against Aquaman's strengths for the sake of Karetta!"
"I can't let Carreta slip up the cracks! You don't understand, she's inextricably linked to the Athena Jewel, she's the key!"
In desperation, Demos could only spit out the truth.
"What did you say?" Cali was taken aback, looking at her brother with strange eyes.
"Demos, about this gem...... Could it be that there are secrets I don't know?"
"I don't have time to explain much to you, the truth will come out sooner or later, but before that I can rescue Karetta. ”
Cali watched as Demos resolutely walked past her with the crystal ball in his right palm, and the dazzling light of the Athena gem inside the sphere poured out uncontrollably, reflecting Demos's resolute demeanor at this time very clearly.
Cali knew she couldn't stop him from leaving, unless she did it herself, but at this point she was in pain to the point where she couldn't make a move.
Her plump lips trembled slightly, and she asked in a painful voice:
"Can you tell me what you really mean...... Are you determined to save Carret, is it for the key to the gem in your mouth, or for yourself?"
"For myself, of course!"
Demos replied without looking back as he went, and his tone was particularly firm, and it was evident that the answer was revealed without any mental thought.
However, it was undoubtedly a huge blow to his sister. Cali felt the world spin around, and his body leaned back on one side—
