1175 Am I A Joke To You?
The Sea Otter, Lucky, started crying because the cookie that the Baby Slime was about to feed it stopped mid-air.
Eiko broke out of her daze and finally resumed feeding the Sea Otter, who ate the cookie with tears still in its eyes.
Poseidon had deployed its barrier, preventing the attacks of the Demigod from reaching them.
"You're still acting so carefree despite the fact that you're surrounded," Nyarlathotep said in a teasing tone. "Am I a joke to you?"
"Yes," Eiko briefly replied before looking back at the leader of the Abyssal Lords.
"Forget about dying a swift death." Nyarlathotep sneered. "I'm going to enjoy killing you slowly."
Clearly, the Outer God was annoyed by Eiko's total disregard for it.
Although Nyarlathotep's forces completely surrounded the Baby Slime, leaving her no path to escape, Eiko didn't show any signs of fear whatsoever.
It was at that moment when the sea under Poseidon started to churn.
Those who didn't live near coastal waters would typically be unaware of the phenomenon that occurred when countless fish jumped crazily at the surface of the water, making it look like the sea was boiling.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis would usually happen right before an earthquake hit or something drastic was about to happen, forcing the fish to rise up to the surface of the water.
This same scene was currently happening under Poseidon, which caught the Demigods' eyes.
"Why do you think we're so far out in the sea?" Avery asked with a look of disdain on his face. "I'll tell you why. It's because this is the safest place in Elysium for our Princess."
Countless Calamity-Ranked Sea Monsters and dozens of Deep Sea Demigods rose up from the waters and engaged the Abyssal Lords who were attacking Poseidon.
Eiko had made preparations in advance and asked the powerful Denizens of the Sea to stand guard at her side as she completed the creation of her strongest Creature.
They all answered her call, for they instinctively knew that she was fighting for the sake of their world.
Faced with tens of thousands of Sea Monsters, all Calamity-
Ranked and above, the look of disdain on Nyarlathotep's face disappeared, replaced with utter shock.
"Argh!"
One of the Demigods was slapped from the sky by a giant tentacle belonging to the Kraken.
It was one of the Demigods of the Sea, and it usually stayed tens of thousands of miles under the ocean.
Another tentacle rose up to wrap itself around the body of another Demigod, and this time, it came from a Colossal Squid, whose giant eyes locked on the foe who dared to act arrogant in their Domain.
Countless Hydro Balls from the Calamity Ranked Monsters blasted the Demigods away from Poseidon.
Although they tried to fight back, they were pushed back a second time by Poseidon's Cannons, which were now fully charged and ready to kill.
A gigantic beam of light exploded from the tip of Poseidon's Main Cannon, headed for the Outer God, who thought that it had cornered them.
Nyarlathotep was then forced to evade and distance itself from Poseidon's Wrath, who unleashed an artillery strike that was solely aimed in the bastard's direction.
It didn't even care about the other Demigods because the Denizens of the Oceans were more than enough to deal with them.
It only wanted one thing, and that was to kill Nyarlathotep and end its evil once and for all.
Although the Nyarlathotep that was fighting Eiko was only a clone, it still possessed some of the Outer God's abilities.
However, even with them, it was unable to come up with a strategy to get near the Bone Ship, whose attacks were growing fiercer with each passing minute.
The Abominations that were new under the Outer God's control weren't meant for a battle in the ocean.
When Nyarlathotep summoned them, they would simply fall into the sea and be massacred by the countless Beasts that were out for blood.
Ten of the Demigods under his command fell in battle, but just before Nyarlathotep was about to revive them, countless bony hands shot out from the Giant Bone Cauldron that was hovering above Poseidon's deck, grabbing hold of the dead Abyssal Lords and dragging them into its depths.
"Retreat!" Nyarlathotep commanded.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe surviving Demigods didn't even need his orders to retreat, for they already deemed that their situation was hopeless.
All of them were already flying toward the portal in the sky, which was the only way to escape the slaughterhouse set up by Eiko, who already expected that something like this would happen.
After licking the Demigod Core, she had gained the ability to ask the Denizens of the Seas and Oceans who were the same Rank as her to heed her call.
When Lux became a Supreme, Eiko also had an upgrade, allowing her to call out to the Demigods of the Sea and ask them for help.
The Seas and Oceans of Elysium were generally unexplored regions.
The entire world was covered with water, so it was natural for the waters to have as many Demigods in it as there were Supremes on land.
These monsters, who had stayed out of the way of those who lived on land, usually stayed in their own Underwater Kingdoms.
However, without rising to the surface, they could feel that their world was in grave danger, so when Eiko asked for their help, they answered her call and lent her their strength.
Nyarlathotep also chose to escape to fight another day.
But just like what happened to its clone when it tried to attack the floating island of Heaven's Gate, its body suddenly froze mid-air, unable to move a muscle.
A second later, a giant beam of light hit the Outer God directly, vaporizing its body, and leaving nothing behind.
At that moment, somewhere in the Western Regions of Elysium, Nyarlathotep roared in anger.
"Again?!" Nyarlathotep couldn't help but smash the armrest of its throne, shattering it completely.
Never had it experienced such anger since the day it had left the Abyss to join the invading forces headed for Elysium.
It was the same Blue Slime who had gotten in its way the last time, and for this reason, Nyarlathotep had moved Eiko to the top of its kill list.
