Dozens of breaths ago.

In mid-air outside Aurora, the battle continued.

Standing away from Cohen, Terry finally relaxed after a moment of tension. From a distance, this particular human being is entangled.

"Prometheus, it's definitely him! This old thing probably knew that without his protection, the human race would not end well, so he deliberately left such a backhand! ”

With a secret hatred in his heart, Triton directly locked on the god of seering who was being tortured under the East China Sea. As for this power that this human being has in his own hands, how is that possible?

What he couldn't do as a noble son of the sea god, how could any mortal be able to do it.

"Wait, you old guy of the old era, the disobedient Titan Protoss, when I solve your creation, I'll go and have a 'good chat' with you!"

With a malicious smile, Triton decided that when he was done with today's events, he must go and tell Prometheus, who was trapped at the bottom of the sea, how he destroyed the human race, and how they begged him for mercy, and then was mercilessly rebuffed.

I think the god of seering must have been glad to hear the news of his creation, and to experience the joy of killing them.

The corners of his mouth hooked, but the next moment, the trident in Terry's hand trembled suddenly, and under the instinct of the artifact, he saw the figure that was approaching in an instant for the third time.

Buzz –

The first time was the first time I saw it, the second time I mistook it for a demigod, and the third time I didn't expect that in just a few minutes, Cohen would take another half step on his original limit.

But this time he finally reacted, facing the golden light, Triton sneered, blocked the trident in front of him again, and then his body began to turn into water.

As long as I'm fast enough, what can you do with me?

Bell –

The metal was handed over, and the second bronze sword was also dead like its predecessor, and the huge force transmitted from it shook Terry's palm even more, but his instinctive talent was faster than that. Terry was about to repeat his old tricks, but when he wanted to leave, he suddenly felt that he was being 'dragged'.

He could go, but the artifact that was originally held in his hand was also held by the other hand.

The other party's purpose is not him at all, without crushing more than one level of power, it is difficult for anyone to kill the son of the sea god in the ocean, but he is not without flaws, the artifact is like this.

"Sure enough, you didn't rely on your own power to start a flood at all, it all came from this trident."

Holding the tip of the artifact, a trace of blood left from Cohen's fingertips. Holding an artifact that didn't belong to him was not an easy task, but he seemed to be unaware.

"Now, put an end to this disaster."

With a hard pull, the [Sea Emperor Trident] was pulled out of the current. At this moment, Cohen seemed to feel a huge body of water beyond his comprehension. In the past, he had never seen the 'sea', but now, he knew.

That's it. The so-called authority of God.

"Wait, do you know what you're doing!"

A look of panic surged up his face, and Triton didn't expect that this time Cohen's target was not him. Yes, this is not an artifact that belongs to him after all, so even if the trident can also merge with the sea water and walk freely around, it is half a beat slower after all.

It's this little bit of slowness that becomes Triton's flaw.

"Stop!"

Ignoring Triton's words, Cohen said in a deep voice. Following this feeling of omnipotence in the realm of the 'sea', he gave the first order to the waters that were churning on the earth, and they really responded to the will of the king of men.

The sea stopped flowing, and the waves came to a standstill. Seeing all of this, Cohen raised the artifacts under Terry's horrified gaze, and he wanted to get them back to where they belonged.

However, this move made Poseidon, who was already in a rage, finally unable to sit still.

If a human is really allowed to collect the flood again, then even if he destroys the human race with his own hands later, his name Poseidon will become a laughing stock among the gods and men.

Only in the future, no matter who it is, when it comes to the sea god, I am afraid that he will remember His Majesty the Sea Emperor who was robbed of the artifact by humans.

So the next moment, following the connection in the dark, the trident that was still held by Cohen just now trembled violently, and then the divine light shone brightly. The powerful force instantly shook Cohen's hand open, and then levitated in midair.

His face changed, and Cohen stepped forward, about to hold the artifact again. But as if sensing the encroacher's actions, a phantom instantly appeared on the side of the trident.

"That's it, Golden Human, get back to where you belong, just like your kind-"

"You're—"

"You don't deserve to call me by my name, mortal. Don't stay where the dead are alive in the old days! ”

The trident was raised, then swept hard. Completely different from in Terry's hands, under the urging of divine power, this artifact finally showed its due power.

Bang –

With a muffled sound, the trident hit the chest, and Cohen, who had just killed all sides, spurted out a mouthful of blood under this force, and his body slashed across the sky and crashed directly into the city wall, and the voice of the Sea Emperor echoed in this world at the same time.

"Triton, your mission is to destroy humanity, not waste time with the dead remnants of this old era!"

"My father—"

"Now, flood this city, and as for the other obstacles, let's talk about it later!"

Hearing Poseidon's rebuke, Terry panicked at first, but then laughed again.

What if you can fight again, your backer has been imprisoned at the bottom of the sea, and mine is still looking down on Mount Olympus!

"Yes, Father."

Holding the lost [Sea Emperor Trident], Triton didn't look at the wall where Cohen knocked out the hole. The main god with powerful divine power took matters into his own hands regardless of the laws of the world, and even if he didn't exert all his strength, he would never be spared.

"Looks like your leader can't do it, mortals."

"It's game over, now, it's my turn!"

The long-awaited sea finally rolled in, and even more places beyond the plains inhabited by humans were submerged.

Across the plains, over the valleys, and climbing the mountains, the sea beasts and the land beasts fought all over the earth, and it was not until this moment that this 'great flood' might really begin.

"Huh? How come there are two more Prometheus who have more than one backhand? ”

The flood broke through the walls, the water level continued to rise, and when he put aside the playful mind, Triton easily did this, which was not a difficult task.

But in the city of Aurora, Terry discovers that, just like Cohen, who wasn't quite right before, there are two strange humans standing on the water, not unlike their wailing kind.

"Oh, whether it's or not, it's all the same."

Smiled disdainfully, feeling the residual divine power in the artifact in his hand, Terry also made a throwing shape.

There's also a blow that will be enough to deal with them. And just in case of accidents, this time, he won't even get close.

······

The flood poured out, and all souls were silenced.

The tide that obscured the sky rose and then fell with a bang, engulfing the entire city of Aurora. The countless low wooden houses and the many bronze humans who had taken refuge were swept into the endless whirlpool of the sea in an instant, and the screams and fears swirled and disappeared in an instant into the roaring billions of tons of seawater.

Compared to nature, mortals are still too weak.

Broken, floating wood, woven linen and straw frames, and a few people who survived in the water, screaming and wailing, struggled to struggle through the chaotic raging water, but were soon dragged into the water by the undercurrent underwater, never to be seen again.

Wherever the flood flowed, everything was destroyed like a wither.

Not without exceptions, though. Everything had no power to resist in the face of the sea, and it was destroyed in an instant, but some special buildings were still unharmed, standing tenaciously in the midst of this monstrous water.

It was the temple in Aurora. The flood came, but the main body of the temple remained intact, not because there was something that sheltered the temple, but because they were different.

Decades of continuous 'sanctification' are not without effect, even if the divinity in the idol has been extracted, the material that can be infected has already become extraordinary, although it is not so invulnerable, but it is enough to last in the flood for a while.

However, just because the temple is okay doesn't mean that the people inside are safe. In a temple dedicated to Hestia, the sea water seeped through the cracks, and the drenched Kavi trembled and hugged a thick pillar.

The water level was getting higher and higher, and it was half-floating in the water, and the high top of the temple was not far from him, and the water was still rising at a very fast rate, and it might not be long before he would die here.

"Fake...... It's all fake. It's useless to stay in the temple, and the method that the inexplicable guy said doesn't work, I obviously prayed to the spirit world, why did the water still come in! ”

"It's all liars, what gods, they all deserve to die!!"

The angry and fearful voices of his companions rang in his ears, and the fear of the gods seemed to have vanished in the face of death. You don't have to turn your head to guess that your companion's face must be hideous and terrifying at this time.

But he can't care about any of his companions now, because he can't protect himself.

"Help me."

At this moment, a somewhat familiar voice sounded in his ears, and Kavi followed the prestige. Through the skylight, which had been open on the high part of the temple but was now not far from him, he could see a familiar hand stretched out in the water not far from the temple, as if trying to grasp something, and then it was submerged in the water, and there was no sound.

The water was so fast that the man simply cried out for help and sank to the bottom instead.

However, no matter how fast the water was, Kavi still recognized the owner of the hands.

"Kathu."

After a moment's pause, he stretched out his hand, as if trying to hold on to something, and then put it down weakly. He thought he would be sad and cry, but in fact, he couldn't cry and didn't have any similar feelings.

Because Ka Wei knew that his friend was just going first, and soon, it would be his turn.

"Is this the punishment. Yes, Creator, Goddess, I am guilty. ”

At the last moment of his life, his companions around him were still cursing, but Kavi did not hysteria, nor did he collapse in despair, he just quickly recalled his decades of life, and then suddenly felt that everything today seemed to be foreshadowed.

Unlike other priests, as a priest of the goddess of the fire, Takawei is actually one of the few humans who knows that he is deceiving the gods, but still retains faith in the gods. Whenever he felt the gaze of the deity at the time of the sacrifice, he could always feel peace from the heart. If he could make a decision, he didn't actually want to deceive the goddess for the sake of sacrifices, but this was a common choice of human beings, and he could only accept it.

And since the gods gave up on humans, he has not felt that familiar gaze for a long time, and he has not felt at ease for a long time.

"This is the punishment I deserve."

"At least, mine."

Letting go of his hand, in the incomprehensible gaze of those around him, Kavi let the current carry him away. When the torrent pulled him to the bottom, he silently closed his eyes and prayed in his heart.

"May God forgive me."

Cavier sank into the water, and gradually, he lost consciousness. However, at this moment, his state seemed to freeze.

'Death' is erased from his body, and 'life' can no longer pass. Maintaining this state of neither life nor death, he sank to the bottom of the water and came to the middle of the temple.

It was the place where he had worshiped the gods countless times.

······

"Finally, I've walked through everything"

Wiping his sweat, although Nuo still felt that today's time passed a little slowly, but now, he let go of these doubts.

Along the way, I met one person after another, a few of them believed in him, and more did not believe him, and every question they questioned, Nuo listened to it in their hearts.

He also wavered, after all, deception is not without deception among the bronze humans, but even if it is just a glimmer of hope, if more people can survive, he is still willing to give it a try.

Now, what he had to do was over, and in the sky, the waves were crashing towards him.

Now, it's time for him to use his life to test whether what he's doing is meaningful.

"Born because of God, died because of God, I really hope that the future of human beings will not come from the hands of God."

"Maybe it's okay for humans to live their own lives?"

With a wry smile, he stood on the deserted street, facing the direction of the flood. With nowhere to avoid it, and no intention of running away, Noah knelt on the ground and whispered softly.

"God, if you are really here, please listen to me:"

"I pray to you with all my sincerity and praise your miracles."

"If every human being who prays to you survives today, I am willing to spend the rest of my life spreading your name among the earth."

"Walk your will on the earth as in your kingdom."

Prayers rang out in the deserted streets, but the waves didn't stop there. The mortal body was undetectable in front of it, and when the waves crashed down, everything was gone, and only the broken remains of the building floated on the water, proving that everything had once been.

This is already the most central part of Aurora, and when it is also swallowed up by floods, there is not an inch of land in sight on the great plains.

There is no land, only waves and turbulence, and as far as the eye can see, there is only an ocean of lightning and thunder, torrential rain, and nothing else.

Only at the end of the line of sight, there is still a slight bulge. That's the top of the mountain, but predictably, as the sea continues to rise, they're not immune.

"Looks like my mission is over."

Following Ryan's side, looking at the vast water world, Huma put down the carving knife. In front of him, the fourth picture has been completed, which is the scene of the destruction of the world.

However, in the flood, there are dots of light, and they are embellished under the danger of extinction, and the light is particularly conspicuous.

"Not yet."

Shaking his head slightly, stepping on the waves like flat ground, Ryan's expression was still the same.

Beneath the sea, a ritual that had already been carved out had somehow lit up and began to move slowly. Theoretically, such a large and elaborate ritual could be easily interrupted, but with the endless sea, nothing is known.

Of course, none of this can be hidden from Ryan's gaze.

"If the fall of the Bronze Humans is indeed over, it is indeed over, but compared to the rest of today, it has only just begun."

"Record them with your stone carvings, this is my promise to you."

Click-

There was a thunderclap and electric light illuminated the dim world. The old man noticed that in the distance on the sea, the son of the sea god, who dominated everything, seemed to be watching them.

He took a half-step forward, then stepped back, then raised the steel fork in his hand.

"Your Excellency—"

Raising his hand slightly, he stopped the old man's words, Ryan knew what he wanted to say, but he just glanced at it, and then lightly admonished:

"You've done your job, Triton, and the gods made you do it, so it's all to the gods. Now drop it and go back to Olympus, back to your Father, this is your best option right now. ”

Beneath the surface of the water, the ritual track is already in operation, and a kind of 'passage' is being opened. The souls of all living beings in the entire plain are imprisoned in the human world, still wandering in the mortal world.

Although Ryan was not in the spirit realm, he could also 'see' that the mass death of living beings without the sign of reincarnation had finally caught the attention of the three goddesses, and they had begun to investigate the source of this sign.

So now, he wanted to wait and see how things would develop, and as for Triton, to Ryan, he was no different from the bronze human who had just died.

As long as he retreats now, then Ryan won't do anything.

Obviously, that's what he thinks, but Terry isn't.

"I'll go back to the Father, mortal, but that's after the last two are settled."

In the face of Ryan's 'exhortation', Triton just sneered. If it was the beginning, he didn't actually have to kill everyone, especially since the two people in front of him were probably related to Prometheus. He could actually give the god of foresight a face, leaving a few fish that slipped through the net, but now it's different.

He knew the restrictions on God in this world, so Poseidon must have paid a price for his previous move, and in order to make the Father's anger less later, Triton had to make the remaining part as perfect as possible.

"That companion of yours has already been killed by my Father, and now, it's your turn!"

Leaning back, then throwing hard, the trident came out. The remnants of divine power loomed onto the target, and Triton believed that mortals could not avoid such locks.

"If you want to blame, blame your bad luck."

"Prometheus is gone, there is such power, isn't it good to live well, why do you have to jump out and fight against me?"

With a cold snort, looking at the trident that pierced the air, Terry was also in a bad mood.

In any case, things were not done perfectly today. He had to think carefully about how to appease his father's wrath.
