Off the coast of Athens, gales howled and seawater surged, forming countless large and small waterspouts that reached the sky under the divine power of Poseidon.
Some of these waterspouts transformed into dolphins, some into galloping horses on the sea, and others into raging, roaring bulls running wildly in the sky, and in the midst of these waterspouts, a gigantic Poseidon, composed entirely of seawater, was raising his trident and constantly battling a tiny figure.
That tiny figure was no bigger than a normal human, as small as an ant in the face of the vast ocean, yet at this very moment, he was evenly matched with Poseidon, locked in a stalemate.
He continuously wielded and swung the crimson chain blades, and the weapons, flickering with deep red flames, constantly severed various sea beasts attacking from all directions; he wore a pair of golden boots, and when he stepped into the air, golden magic arrays would appear beneath the boots, allowing him to maintain his footing in mid-air.
Amidst the storm and tsunami, the battle between the Spartans and the Sea King intensified, and as Kratos wrestled with the deity, his anger rising, he also felt a powerful force within him that was continuously awakening.
Seizing the opportunity, he unleashed both chain blades, splitting the trident in the giant Poseidon's hand, and the Chaos Blades transformed into two red lights, piercing into the chest of the seawater-formed Poseidon.
However, Poseidon's true body was not within this seawater; after this seawater body of Poseidon was torn apart by his Chaos Blades, a nearby waterspout directly spun and transformed into Poseidon's upper body, taking back his trident and continuing the struggle with Kratos.
Seeing this situation, Kratos's forehead bulged with veins, and he roared at the sea, "Poseidon! You coward! You don't dare to come out and face me!"
"Spartans." Poseidon was unmoved by Kratos's roar; he continued to control the power of the sea, attacking Kratos: "This will be your last time defying a god!"
"Ridiculous!" As his rage escalated, Kratos's red tattoos seemed to glow; he swung the chain blades in his hands, instantly cutting down two bulls that leaped from the sea and charged at him, then he mocked loudly, "Do you think you can take me down?"
Crimson blades swept across the sky, and the sparks that scattered onto the sea even continued to burn on the surface in a somewhat eerie manner. Sensing the gradually expanding divine power within this Spartans, Poseidon's expression in the sea turned somewhat grim.
With his rising anger, the Spartans' power seemed to have increased even further.
But thankfully, judging by the time, his reinforcements should be arriving soon.
Sure enough, just as the Sea Clan army and Athena's divine army were fiercely clashing, locked in a life-and-death struggle near the coastline, a huge explosion suddenly erupted from behind Athens.
As a mushroom-shaped fire cloud slowly rose, the golden barrier surrounding the city-state of Athens seemed to have suffered a mighty blow, flickering and teetering.
"What's going on?"
Kratos, seeing this scene, also sobered slightly from his rage and asked, turning his head.
On the battlefield, no one naturally answered his question; only a second mushroom cloud immediately rose, accompanied by a violent shockwave, and the golden light barrier set up by Athena with her divine power and artifacts shattered like glass.
A strong wind blew from behind Athens, even pushing back the tides that were about to spread onto the shore, and within this strong wind, a man's rough voice also came with the wind, and he laughed:
"Hahahaha, dear sister, your big brother is here to play with your army! All troops, charge!"
After this voice fell, the morale of Athena's divine army was thrown into disarray, while the morale of the Sea Clan surged, as if an invisible hand had forcefully elevated their courage and fervor.
Sea King Poseidon also burst into laughter, shouting with a voice that echoed across the battlefield:
"Our ally, Ares and his army have arrived! Attack! This time, Athena is bound to lose!"
While commanding his subordinate army to attack with full force, Sea King Poseidon also increased his divine power, wielding his trident, and launched a fierce assault on Kratos, firmly entangling him on the sea, preventing him from returning to the rear.
And at the rear of the battle formation, accompanied by a dense, dark tide, the Ares, now as tall as a Titan, carrying his Flame Sword and shield, also strode forward from behind Athens; he ignored the city walls and buildings of Athens, directly trampling a clear path through Athens with his feet, arriving at this battlefield from the rear.
After casually striking out two sword lights, killing a large number of Athena's divine army, Ares saw Kratos, who was confronting Poseidon, his eyes lit up, and he laughed:
"Oh, there's also my Spartans warrior here, come, let me test your mettle!"
With that, he directly rushed through the battlefield and came to the sea, fiercely striking a sword towards Kratos's head.
Kratos dared not be careless, holding up his chain blades with both hands, he forcefully withstood the blow with brute strength, but he was pressed down, almost falling into the seawater. On the other side, Sea King Poseidon was again manipulating the power of the sea to attack him. At this moment, even the bravest warrior among the Spartans, facing the pincer attack of two powerful main gods simultaneously, was almost unable to hold on.
And just then, lightning suddenly flashed in the sky, and with a scorching thunderbolt, the battlefield was suddenly split apart. Poseidon, who had intended to ambush Kratos from behind, was forced back. He raised his head and looked at the sky, where the clouds gradually converged, forming a face that was both familiar and loathsome to him. He shouted:
"Zeus, you've finally decided to show yourself!"
"Poseidon, retreat now, and I can let bygones be bygones."
The giant face formed by condensed clouds in the sky slowly opened its eyes made of lightning, and Zeus, through this giant face, slowly issued his final ultimatum to his brother:
"Ares has rebelled, you cannot join him in this folly."
"Folly? Heh, at this point, do you still think you're the God King who could quell us with a few words?"
Poseidon raised his trident and pointed it at the sky, shouting loudly:
"Times have changed! Zeus, you are weakening, and Athena, this jester, must pay the price for her actions today!"
"Then there's nothing more to say."
"Zeus" in the clouds slowly closed his eyes, then turned back into clouds and separated. Then, the true Zeus, clad in golden armor, appeared above the clouds, holding a divine shield in one hand and lightning in the other, challenging his second brother Poseidon to battle:
"This time, let's settle this once and for all, Poseidon!"
The Sea King stood on the waves, stirring up a furious surge capable of shattering the earth, and he too laughed in response:
"Come on, I'm not holding back anymore! Let's see who kills whom this time!"
