Chapter 274 Chapter272-Trail of the God of Sea

"No! This is impossible!" The High Priest cried out in disbelief.

Then, fixing his gaze on the spear in Ethan's hand, his eyes blazed anew, murmuring to himself, "A divine artifact... What you hold must be a divine artifact; only the divine artifact could possess such power!"

With realization dawning, the High Priest's rage was replaced by sheer elation.

It was then that Lana Mokos made her move.

The trident, now damaged, had lost its suppressive force.

Lana Mokos invoked the Stellar Language of Nature, and in an instant, a massive Planet Mirage materialized, hurtling towards and slamming into the High Priest.

The High Priest was cast down to the ground.

Yet, this only seemed to heighten his excitement. "The Power of Stellar! This is the Power of Stellar! You've given me more surprises than I could've imagined!" Exhilarated, the High Priest rose, laughing heartily, his aura growing ever more intimidating.

What he'd assumed to be just two individuals with unique bloodlines, he hadn't anticipated the additional potent forces they bore.

It was truly a delightful revelation.

"You've brought me so many surprises. In gratitude, I grant you the honor of natural procreation," the High Priest said, chuckling, unscathed.

Following this, with a casual wave, he unleashed two strands of soul magic, striking both Ethan and Lana Mokos.

In the very next moment, their expressions turned vacant.

Gazing at each other, their eyes brimming with primal desire.

"Enjoy," the High Priest said, smiling, before vanishing from sight.

Ethan and Lana Mokos gravitated towards one another, eventually entwining in a fervent embrace.

An unsettling sensation within her momentarily restored Lana Mokos's clarity.

With gritted teeth, she seethed, "Ethan, if you dare act upon me in that way, I swear, you'll rue the day you were born into this world."

Yet, Lana Mokos's dire warning went unheeded.

Ethan's eyes remained veiled in confusion, and he leaned in, sealing Lana Mokos's lips with a kiss, muffling any further protest she might have voiced.

The sheer intensity of the moment saw Lana Mokos wholly consumed by the sensation.

Their passionate embrace intensified, garments being shed in the throes of ardor.

But in contrast to Lana Mokos's overwhelming surrender, Ethan found himself submerged in a peculiar state of being.

He saw it all.

"Is this... the Soul State?" Deep within his consciousness, Ethan mused aloud.

In this moment, he felt privy to the world outside, aware of all transpiring around him, yet powerless to intervene, ensnared by the body's primal yearnings.

Simultaneously, the Soul Language of Nature resonated with peculiar vibrations.

"That High Priest earlier wielded soul magic. If I can decipher its essence, perhaps there's a chance to break free from this ensnarement," Ethan contemplated, perceiving it as his sole way out.

And so, Ethan calmed his heart, suppressing the desires within, deeply immersing himself in the stillness of the moment.

As moments turned to minutes, the atmosphere within the palace intensified with fervor.

No longer content with mere kisses, Lana Mokos began to shed her attire, seemingly longing to unite entirely with Ethan.

But just then, Ethan clasped Lana Mokos's hand.

With a concentrated effort, he channeled a spell of soul magic, calling out, "Lana Mokos, awaken to yourself!"

The soul magic had its effect, and Lana Mokos regained her senses.

Observing her current state, particularly her disheveled attire and the expanse of skin laid bare, her eyes turned piercingly cold.

Such an intensity, even Ethan found unsettling.

"I don't want any of this known to others," she said in a voice that threatened more than the words themselves.

"Moreover, once you leave this place, you'd better be prepared with means to escape. Otherwise, I'll rend you piece by piece."

Faced with Lana Mokos's menacing words, Ethan could only respond with silent acquiescence.

Past experiences had taught him that arguments at such times were fruitless.

Seemingly sensing the disturbance, the High Priest reemerged, his countenance now numb, yet poised.

"The Power of Soul, even touching the Soul Essence," he remarked calmly. "It's no wonder you could break free from my soul magic. Such a delightful surprise. I truly ponder, who taught you?"

Having straightened her attire, Lana Mokos launched an assault the moment the High Priest finished speaking.

Several space blades manifested, slicing toward the High Priest.

He made no move to evade; the blades pierced right through him, embedding into the palace wall behind.

Next, Lana Mokos leaped into the air as the Planet Mirage materialized.

This time, the High Priest reached out, effortlessly blocking the Planet Mirage.

With a bend of his fingers and a fierce grip, he shattered the Planet Mirage into oblivion.

"Such feeble attempts! Who gave you the audacity to challenge me?" With a mere flick of his wrist, an intangible force sent Lana Mokos flying, crashing her hard against the wall.

Seeing this, Ethan immediately invoked the Holy Light Domain.

Under the rejuvenating embrace of the holy light, their wounds began to mend swiftly.

"Futile efforts." The High Priest remained unfazed.

Another wave of invisible energy thrust forward, sending Ethan spiraling backward.

The High Priest then drew his trident once again, channeling an immense power within it.

After a moment's charge, he unleashed this formidable force.

It was at this juncture that Ethan produced the Crystal of Aquaman, hurling it towards the impending energy.

The anticipated explosion never occurred. Instead, the Crystal absorbed the tremendous power directed at it.

A radiant glow emanated from the Crystal, giving rise to a vortex-like space gate.

A forceful pull from this spatial anomaly drew Ethan, Lana Mokos, and the High Priest inside.

In the fleeting moment of entry, a revelation dawned upon Ethan and Lana Mokos: The Trial of the God of Sea had commenced.

As Ethan and the others emerged from the space gate, a vast plaza greeted them.

At its center stood a magnificent statue, its hair cascading like waves, face finely chiseled, waist slender.

A flowing gown concealed its lower body, yet glimpses of scales on its exposed shins hinted that this figure wasn't quite human.

The Golden Trident clutched in its hand revealed its identity: the sovereign of the oceans — the God of Sea.

Ethan was taken aback. In his rather rigid perception, he'd always imagined the God of Sea to be male.

Lana Mokos, however, seemed much more composed upon seeing the statue.

Noticing the astonishment in Ethan's eyes, she couldn't resist mocking, "Ignorant."

"You—" Ethan tried to retort but soon realized that when it came to this knowledge, he was indeed inferior to Lana Mokos.

At that moment, the remaining voice chimed in.

The High Priest sneered at the pair, "I hadn't expected you to possess the emblem of the trial of the God of Sea. However, do you genuinely believe you can survive it? The trial of the God of Sea is perilous. Since you're so eager to meet your ends, perhaps you could aid me. Maybe, once I rank among the elite deities, I'll consider resurrecting you."

"It seems you can't lay a finger on us here," Lana Mokos retorted to the High Priest.

She then turned her attention away from him, assessing the vast plaza surrounding them.

At the heart of the plaza stood the God of Sea's effigy.

Encircling the statue were massive stone pillars, their surfaces adorned with carvings mostly depicting ceremonial rituals.

Beyond that, there wasn't much else.

"How does one commence the trial of the God of Sea?" Ethan inquired.

For the moment, there was no immediate threat from the High Priest, granting Ethan ample time to reflect.

Beyond the statue of the God of Sea, there appeared to be no other structures in sight, hardly resembling a typical trial ground. Just then, the statue began to stir.

From the trident held by the God of Sea, three rays of light emanated, each one penetrating Ethan, Lana Mokos, and the High Priest.

Subsequently, a flow of knowledge surged within Ethan.

[Trial of the God of Sea - One: Comprehend the Power of Rules or vanquish a False Deity.]

[Quest completed!]

[Awarded: the opportunity to train in the Sea God's Place of Meditation.]

"Sea God's Place of Meditation?" Ethan whispered to himself.

His gaze then met Lana Mokos's startled eyes; it was evident she had experienced the same revelation.

More information seemed to unfold, perhaps in response to Ethan's query.

[False Deity: Those who once ascended to deity status but later fell from such a pinnacle, still retaining the Power of Rules.]

[Sea God's Place of Meditation: A unique realm conceived by the God of Sea. Within the Place of Meditation, one's consciousness is significantly heightened, making the comprehension of various skills much more accessible.]

"So that's it." Realization dawned on Ethan.

In the next moment, two rays of light projected from the God of Sea statue, engulfing both Ethan and Lana Mokos.

In an instant, they vanished from the God of Sea plaza.

The High Priest watched it all, his expression unwavering.
