Myth: The Spiritual Dominator
Chapter 502 Warner
A few days ago, the prince made the decision to withdraw.
So while the others were still not able to react, Antilochus led his men away from the battlefield.
There is not much to say about the retreat process. No matter what, the number of fleets of these maritime kingdoms still has a considerable advantage.
So after paying a small price, the fleet of the Kingdom of Pylos successfully set out in the direction that had been decided previously.
All the way south, Antilochus was actually a little nervous.
After all, according to the records of the kingdom, the source of their bloodline, the palace of Poseidon, the king of the sea, was built in the south of the world.
The prince regretted this for a while, because if he really ran into the cruel sea god head-on on this trip, their end would probably not be good.
But now, he could only pray that his premonition was correct.
"According to the direction recorded on the nautical chart, we seem to be approaching the uninhabited archipelago in the southeast of the world."
"It is said that the natural environment here is very good, even better than that of Pylos in most places."
"It's just because of the special wonders here that even the non-believers in Silver Moon City are unwilling to get close to this place, let alone us believers of the Sea God."
By moonlight, Antilochus spread out the map in front of him and observed the positions of the stars to determine his location.
In today's world, the area west of the remains of Mount Odisha is still a wilderness for humans.
Where humans live and reproduce, the closer to the southeast, the better the climate and environment.
However, in this situation, the countless islands located in the southeastern ocean of the world have remained unattended from beginning to end.
Because there, there are always some strange things happening that even the gods cannot understand.
The mortals who had migrated there the day before disappeared the next day without leaving any trace.
Even if the gods themselves explored it, they would not be able to find any trace.
"Go around here, go to the South China Sea, and then go back in a circle..."
Mumbling to himself and confirming his itinerary again, the prince nodded slightly and prepared to go back to rest.
It was already late, and the bright moon was shining over the sea.
Antilochus turned around and prepared to ask the guards on duty in the distance to put away the chart.
However, at this moment, the prince's expression suddenly changed.
In an instant, the originally rosy cheeks turned pale.
Feeling weak all over, Antilochus half-knelt on the deck. For some reason, a huge palpitation surged into his heart.
At this moment, the prince felt as if his blood was boiling and his soul was grieving.
Before the guards on duty could react, a boundless pressure came from afar.
There were bursts of thunder and dark clouds covered the sky.
At the end of the night sky, the sea and the sky seemed to be connected together, but a huge pillar of lightning separated the two.
The world seemed to be coming to an end at this moment, and this tiny fleet was the only one left in the world.
"What's this……"
"My divine blood...it...ah——"
His pale face turned blood red again in an instant, as if blood vessels were about to burst.
Antilochus used up his last bit of strength and forced himself to the edge of the deck.
Looking into the distance, the magnificent scene that seemed like the end of the world, an intuition surged into the prince's heart.
The source of his bloodline, the Lord of the Sea canonized by the Olympus God Court, the Sea Emperor who shook the earth, has left this world.
From this moment on, the blood of all the descendants of the gods who inherited his bloodline will become thinner at a rate of a thousand times, with only a very small number of atavists being the exception.
In this era, such a thing would be a devastating consequence for a kingdom.
This indicates that the once powerful maritime kingdom of Pylos may become the dustbin of history.
Even in the past, Antilochus had publicly stated more than once that humans should not rely solely on the power of divine blood.
But the change he had expected was definitely not to completely abandon everything like this and embrace such a drastic change without any preparation.
However, he could not change anything because what had happened had already happened.
For a moment, the prince was speechless.
Leaning on the side of the boat, Antilochus stared blankly at the distant sky.
Was this the premonition he had had? Was it fate that brought him here to witness the fall of his own kingdom, mocking his military prowess?
But no matter how unwilling and desperate he was, what could he do facing this calamity that even the immortal gods could not escape?
"...Human, are you...the descendant of Poseidon?"
"--who?!"
His heart sank to the bottom. Antilochus felt that he was no different from this fleet, just an insignificant embellishment in the boundless ocean.
But at this moment, an inexplicable voice suddenly came into the prince's heart.
He whispered subconsciously, but Antilochus immediately realized that no one was talking to him.
All of this was information that was directly transmitted to his mind.
"It seems so... Your bloodline power is not strong, but I can't find a better target among the humans nearby."
The voice rang out again, and this time, before the prince could respond, the sea water beside the ship began to roll and separate before his eyes.
The next moment, a special stream of water jumped out of it and circled around Antilochus several times.
It seemed as if it had finally confirmed something, and after completing it, it finally stopped in front of the prince.
The water waves surged and the sea water disappeared inch by inch.
In just a moment, all that was left on the deck was the metallic luster.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Antilochus widened his eyes in disbelief.
This thing that only existed in legends and statues actually came before him.
"You are... [Poseidon Trident]?"
"Impossible. Even in the legends about the gods of Olympus, only the goddess Athena, with her supreme divine power, endowed the symbol of [victory], the artifact [Spear of Voktor], with wisdom."
"From then on, this powerful artifact even responded to the goddess's believers on her behalf. People also called her 'Niki, the goddess of victory'... Apart from this, even the God King's artifact [Thunder] did not have its own thoughts!"
By questioning loudly, the prince was actually venting his own ups and downs of emotions.
The source of the bloodline suddenly disappeared, and a world-destroying war broke out at the end of the sea.
And he, an ordinary prince, suddenly had a trident falling from the sky.
Antilochus couldn't accept it for a moment... However, the divine weapon in front of him that faintly exuded a powerful pressure did not give him time to calm down.
There was a flash of divine light, and the prince's feeble struggle was useless, as he was instantly engulfed by the power of the trident.
Behind him, the guards on duty who had been on the deck had already fainted under the pressure of the sky.
"Descendant of Poseidon, you are right. I am not supposed to have wisdom. Even he and I think so."
"He has always treated me as an object, and I have indeed never had any thoughts - even if he will wash me with the faith of marine creatures, I will only have a little more spirituality."
"Until today, when he used his last bit of strength to throw me out and imprinted the secret he discovered at the last moment on me, I was still just a dead object."
“But at the moment when he disappeared from this world, I seemed to have broken free from some shackles and began to understand what ‘I’ meant.”
"So I did not follow his power to the place where he had the most followers, but came to you."
It seemed that he was also confused, and the message coming from the trident was full of confusion.
However, it still tried its best to explain its intentions, and did not look down on the mortal in front of it because of the difference in power.
"I can't go there. Maybe it's because I have wisdom. I seem to understand a lot of things all of a sudden."
"When the sea loses its original owner, a new owner will inevitably appear."
"No matter who he is, he must want to get me, the weapon of the previous Lord of the Sea, and the priesthood authority that I represent."
"So I have to stay hidden... but at the end of the day, I'm just a weapon."
"I don't know what the [Spear of Voctor] you are talking about is like, but at least I don't want to try to be a god."
"..."
Wrapped in the power of the trident, Antilochus was so shocked that he was speechless.
Could such a fantastic thing actually happen to him?
After a while, the prince calmed himself down.
He stopped struggling and just asked respectfully:
"I understand. So, Your Highness, how should I address you? Will I have a chance to return to the Kingdom of Pylos?"
"Besides...I wonder if there is anything I can do for you that would lead you to find me?"
"Name... I don't know what to call myself. Just call me whatever you want. Or you can just treat me as 'Poseidon'."
"As for returning to your kingdom... that is indeed where his last bit of strength originally wanted to send me."
"But he was probably so desperate at the time that he didn't even notice."
"At that time, his uncontrolled and restless power had already been released, and the first to be affected were those who believed in his kingdom."
"Today, Pylos has probably been destroyed by storms, earthquakes, and floods... Even if there are still survivors, there are definitely not many."
The prince's expression changed again, but Trident obviously couldn't understand his mood.
It just spun in the air for a moment and then revealed its true purpose.
"As for what I want you to do, it is to find a safe place where you won't be discovered by other gods."
"You will reproduce safely there, and little by little, rebuild a human kingdom. Finally, at the end of everything, let your kingdom pray to me."
“Although my wisdom is not born only from faith, I still need it.”
"And I don't want to stay out there just to avoid being hunted by other sea gods and god kings."
Antilochus slowly digested the sudden information and before he had time to grieve over the loss of his country, he was shocked by the content that followed.
So from now on, he, a prince who was supposed to inherit the kingdom, will have to embark on the path of a "founder of a country", carrying the weapons of his bloodline ancestor, and surviving the pursuit of the God King and the gods?
"…Your Highness, you may think too highly of me."
With a wry smile, the prince said respectfully:
"With my abilities, I can't find a safe place to build my own kingdom and avoid the pursuit of the gods."
"Even if Perseus were alive, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to do this. It's an impossible task."
"Well, is that so... But it doesn't matter. I didn't expect you to find the place anyway."
"In fact, descendant of Poseidon, do you remember what I said before, the secret he discovered and engraved on me at the last moment?"
The trident sways in the air, a steady communicator of its opinions.
As a result, the prince felt that the force exerted on him seemed to have become a little heavier.
"what do you mean……"
"The secret he discovered was a location that met all of the above requirements."
"Even though he was born as a sea god, a monarch destined to rule the sea, he still discovered the secret hidden in the sea only when he was desperate and risking his life."
"Apart from him, even the Lord of the Gods would never be able to find that place."
"But I haven't been there yet, so this time, I'm going to take you with me."
"I am only a weapon after all, and you are the real living being."
Hearing this, Antilochus finally understood the purpose of the power that had been entangled with him.
This is not the artifact being on guard against itself, on the contrary, it is not qualified to make the other party on guard at all.
[Poseidon Trident] was simply prepared to take him to a place, and his speed was too slow, so it was just prepared to give him a ride.
"Your Highness, I..."
"Okay, let's go quickly."
"The fight over there is about to end. If that God King discovers me, you will be in danger."
"Poseidon has always hated him, so there is no way I can work for him... Right now, that's the only place that's safe."
No need to say more, the divine light gathered.
Wrapped in Antilochus, the trident began to sense the mark left by Poseidon on itself.
As for that secret, even Poseidon only detected a trace of it by relying on his own authority and destiny at the moment of the "fight" with the mysterious great man, and there was no other information.
If I had to say what I know about that place, it would probably be the name.
After all, for many powerful and ancient things in this world, they all have the ability of "what you see is what you know".
Even the [Trident of Poseidon] itself can let a life that sees it for the first time directly "know" its name.
"Vanaheim, the residence of the Vanir..."
"It's really strange. When did the Vanir tribe first appear in this world?"
He was a little confused, but Trident didn't think much about it.
After all, he is just a weapon.
What's so strange about a weapon having something unknown?
