Simrly, the Minos Warship, which was turning its bow to escape the battlefield, was pulled back into the gaping maw of the abyss by the reversing seawater and the suction of air.


    The surviving Divine Blood Guard exerted all their strength but were unable to move the ship even a fraction forward. Feeling the abyssal maw drawing nearer and nearer behind them, they couldn''t help but feel their souls tremble with fear.


    In the critical moment, Little Medusa immediately abandoned the Sea Beasts scrambling in front of her, turned around, and her metallic wings vibrated violently behind her.


    "Swoosh swoosh!"


    Dozens of bronze feather-arrows resembling owl feathers broke through the air, striking the head of Keto, the Mother of Monsters, in an attempt to disrupt the creature''s feeding frenzy.


    However, such minor injuries were nothing more than mosquito bites to the colossal and astonishingly resilient Keto, who didn''t even show interest in swatting them away...


    "Pfft!"


    A streak of golden light, mixed among the bronze feathers, turned into a piercing thunderbolt that plunged deep into Keto''s head, prating the rightpound eye.


    In an instant, dark golden fluid spurted from the exploding eye of the creature. Stimted by the agony, Keto let out a painful roar.


    "Aoow!"


    At once, the reversing seawater was expelled again by the great maw, and the Minos Fleet seized the opportunity to break free and rush towards the coast.


    At that moment, Luo En, who had seized the opportunity to shoot a golden arrow, watched as the fleet sessfully extricated itself. He shook his slightly numb arm and muttered to himself.


    Sure enough, tough as a deity...


    If it weren''t for having equipment capable of prating armor, he wouldn''t have known how to attack against that tank-like Mother of Monsters with assassin damage output.


    But as his gaze lowered to the jar with only 9 golden arrows left, and with Keto still lively and bouncing on the sea surface, Luo En''s face grew dark again.


    Clearly, as a trifle gift to a lover, Zeus could not give Europa the finest quality.


    The damage from the golden arrows was there, but it was not substantial.


    This thing might kill a demigod with one arrow, but against a true deity, it was obviously not sufficient.


    Of course, it was also possible that Zeus did not want his son to possess a power that could threaten deities.


    After all, Zeus was one to calcte to the bone.


    "Hum!"


    As Luo En was deep in thought, the familiar and terrifying sound of aether resonated from behind, sending shivers down his spine.


    Turning to look back, a series of intersecting rings of light were lighting up around Keto, with vortexes of light umting vast magic power.


    Here ites again!


    The previous gruesome scene shed in everyone''s minds, causing the survivors to shudder in unison, attempting to flee this dangerous sea area.


    However, facing the countless light spots stretching for hundreds of miles, fleeing was merely a futile struggle.


    "Hiss hiss hiss hiss!"


    The dense bands of light, once again carrying the shrill sound of ripping through the air, swept across the sea surface, forging ahead and forming a mottled palette of colors that could engulf everything.


    "Hum!"


    Yet, this seemingly indomitable divine might came to a stop in front of a re of golden light that erupted near the sea, unable to advance any further.


    In mid-air, Luo En, who was holding onto Little Medusa, ready to dive, paused and turned to look at the disc of golden sun, or rather—


    The man ignited by the golden mes.


    The old man standing alone above the sea straightened his stooped back, golden blood seething from his pores, transforming into blinding mes.


    Burning divine blood defended the human resolve.


    By now, the coastal defense line had already been severely damaged and could not withstand a second bombardment without the protection of the Citadel.


    If it went badly, the entire Ind of Crete could potentially disintegrate and sink into the sea.


    Therefore, he could not dodge or retreat.


    But even with divine blood ame, there existed a gap between demigods and deities.


    That light, even if extremely brilliant, was merely the lingering glow of a setting sun.


    "Swoosh!"


    A streak of golden light flew over the head of King Minos and plunged directly into the top of Keto''s head, exploding chunks of flesh.


    "Aoow!"


    The Mother of Monsters couldn''t help but let out a painful roar as divine power violently surged out of her.


    At once, the light spots that had appeared around her became even more dazzling.


    The golden mes that straddled the sea''s surface danced violently, flickering like a candle in the wind, always on the verge of being extinguished.


    "Hold on! Give me ten seconds!"


    A deep voice came from behind, and the silver-haired figure, who had initially turned away from the battlefield, had stopped unexpectedly, drawing a second golden arrow and pulling back the bowstring to its limit.


    "Okay!"

    King Minos nodded without hesitation, not retreating but advancing, pores erupting with an even more intense stream of golden mist, which he tranted into burning kindling to staunchly withstand the divine mighting head-on.


    "Swoosh!"


    The second arrow flew out, hitting its target once again, sting open a patch of flesh on that massive, sturdy body.


    In response to the pain, Keto''s body shuddered and, in a fit of rage, its thrashing heads and tails stirred up violent waves, causing the bundle of golden light on the surface of the sea to dim considerably in an instant.


    Luo En watched expressionlessly to the front and continued to load a third arrow.


    Then a fourth, a fifth, a sixth...


    Not until the eighth golden arrow had hit its mark did Luo En take out thest remaining arrows from his quiver.


    Little Medusa, pale-faced at his side, bit her lip as usual, slicing open the wrist of her left hand and dripping dark golden divine blood into the y jar tied under the arrowhead, then sealed it with a protective spell.


    Blood of Gorgon, poison on the left and antidote on the right.


    Although they weren''t sure how effective it would be against the Mother of All Monsters, they had no choice but to treat the situation like a dead horse as though it were still alive.


    If he recalled correctly, Keto''s divinity should be suppressed by Medusa.


    While he waited, Luo En slightly narrowed his eyes, looking towards Keto''s blurred forehead.


    The earlier eight golden arrows were firmly embedded in the flesh of the Mother of All Monsters, tracing the outline of a "st" in Hermes Script.


    However, onest stroke was needed toplete it...


    With the golden arrow carrying the Gorgon''s Poison now in hand, Luo En took a deep breath, stirred the scant divine power left in his body, pulled back the bowstring facing the dazzling light spots on the sea, and released the long-nned arrow.


    "Hiss!"


    The arrow tore through the air, passing through the almostpletely dissipated golden mes in front, avoiding a dense web of beams, and flew straight towards thending spot reserved by the eight golden arrows.


    Hit!


    Little Medusa on the battlefield, seeing everything go as anticipated, couldn''t help clenching her fists and shouting excitedly in her heart.


    "Boom!"


    Immediately, the golden arrows shot into Mother of All Monsters Keto''s head, setting off a chain reaction as the fierce st caused the eight previous golden arrows to explode, spraying the dark golden Blood of Gorgon attached to the end of the arrow shaft through the wounds and into Keto''s body.


    The Mother of All Monsters rampaging on the sea convulsed as if struck by lightning, its sticky body turning intorge patches of gray-white, with dried lumps of flesh cracking and peeling off.


    "Aaah~~~!"


    Keto could not help but emit a painful wail, promptly dispersing the light spots gathered on its body and diving headfirst into the deep sea, vanishing amidst the surging giant waves.


    "We won! We''ve won!"


    Watching the colossal monster flee in disarray, the soldiers and priests on the ind, survivors of cmity, couldn''t help but weep for joy, letting out a thunderous cheer.


    No, not yet!


    The Mother of All Monsters was too resilient; it had faced the erosion of nine bottles of Blood of Gorgon head-on and still managed to dive energetically into the sea, letting the seawater wash away the fierce poison staining its body.


    Its current injuries could only temporarily repel it, not enough to be fatal.


    Should they give chase?


    Luo En looked back at Little Medusa, who had turned pale due to excessive blood loss, and at King Minos, who was falling towards the sea surface, he hesitated.


    "Grandfather! I''ll help you!"


    Just as Luo En was undecided, a strapping young man dressed in beast fur, looking like a hunter with the build of a small giant and carrying a longbow, rushed impatiently out of the woods and strode across the sea as if on tnd, heading directly for the warship.


    Walking on water? The protection of the Sea?


    Luo En''s expression tensed, eyes filled with doubt.


    Was this person really here to help?


    And as the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of the contorted, angry old face at his side, and he recalled the address spoken just a moment ago, Luo En''s eyebrows raised, hinting at something profound.


    "Do you know each other?"


    At that moment, King Minos, who Anna had just pulled back onto the deck, red at the hearty young maning straight for him, his eyes brimming with menace.


    "That is Orion, the bastard of my unworthy daughter Euryale and the God of the Sea, Poseidon!"
