Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1742: Chapter 319: Start the Snatch!

”Triton isn’t just the unlucky kid with a lowly father; he also has a pretty capable and relatively normal mother,” Hill said calmly.

”But, in Mark City, isn’t it...” List still knows that Sea Queen Amphitrite has only Triton as her child.

Even though she had to marry Poseidon reluctantly, that Sea Queen never fell for that idiot man from start to finish, just resigned to her fate.

So neither the Sea Queen nor Triton cared about how many lovers Poseidon had outside, the only requirement was that Triton’s status would forever be ensured.

Even the river of fate in the world of the Greek Gods probably thinks Amphitrite is somewhat too unlucky... Zeus is equally shameless, but at least has some intelligence; marrying Poseidon truly offered nothing, aside from endless grudges... Hence, among Poseidon’s children, the ones with intelligence and ability, aside from Triton, are all girls.

”These goddesses who bore children for Poseidon, including those few mortals, were hardly willing, including those who didn’t openly resist much... They just understood they couldn’t escape and didn’t want to waste their divine power,” Hill sneered, ”Do you think they would raise the children?”

Amphitrite, although she remained silent, really had a rare earnest personality; the stability and upbringing of these children depended entirely on her nurturing and protecting them by commanding sea creatures.

She didn’t express much affection, but at least she kept them alive during their earliest years.

Do you understand?

The infancy period of the Child of God is just short, not nonexistent.”

Hill couldn’t help but sigh, ”So, when the Lady of Pain discovered this world has Triton... ah, no, it should be said, when Eosca learned of it, choosing the World of Aesces certainly considered this point.

She wasn’t much willing to have any conflict with Triton.

And then, Amphitrite actually very much doesn’t want to appear simultaneously with Poseidon, but she can’t stop Poseidon from looking for Triton... because the territory of the Lady of Pain, who has tense relations with Poseidon due to the runaway incident, is very suited for her to stay.”

”Hmm?” Aesces’s voice suddenly surfaced, ”Wasn’t it said that father and daughter have reconciled?”

”Set is here!” Hill flipped the steel plate in his hand, not turning his head, ”Poseidon is the typical representative of Greek Trash-Deity, bullying the good, fearing the evil, bullying the weak, fearing the strong.

He absolutely wouldn’t behave as though he’s reconciled with the Lady of Pain under Set’s nose.

Otherwise, why is it that only one mortal hero from Poseidon’s small world outside of Mark City once sent him a message?

Tsk~ That guy’s character... just think, among the Greek Gods, hundreds of deities, when running away, not a single one even notified him.

That could’ve been if even slightly off, would accompany the world in destruction!”

Aesces, who interacted with Greek Gods, only knew Triton and Gaia.

Although these two each have their issues, can even be described as capricious, unreasonable, illogical, even fickle, and untrustworthy, they’re still within normal range.

Isn’t it just selfishness?

Having seen the existence of demons and devils, none would be overly surprised.

But Poseidon... he’s a bit beyond the limit of imagination.

Aesces hesitated for a few seconds, seemingly considering what he would do if he encountered such a matter, then with a bit of amazement said, ”I can’t imagine, if such a disaster really happened, I would certainly notify everyone.”

He didn’t even exclude Triton.

Thus, although this guy’s head isn’t very agile, he’s a truly lawful God of the Earth.

”So, the Greek Gods are indeed quite troublesome,” Hill chuckled lightly, ”You should limit contact with them after this; Triton will probably seek a new world where he can stand firm.

He’s not willing for Poseidon to know where he is.

You just need to ensure Poseidon doesn’t seize the opportunity to come in.”

”Ah!” Aesces said confidently, ”That’s certain.

I can’t imagine how bothersome he’d have to be for...

Ambori is pretty good too.”

Hill turned to look at the silly little black sphere, ”I say, are you a bit dumb?

The ocean has so many divine rights!

Why not take advantage of Ambori and Triton’s dispute to grab those minor divine powers, especially those related to the seabed and get them under your control while you’re waiting?

Previously, because there was a natural Sea God of the World of Aesces, you didn’t need to manage, but now, there’s none?

The seabed and the faith, surely you aren’t completely detached from them, are you?”

”Eh? Ah!” Aesces realized, ”Right! That’s possible!

I... haven’t dealt with this ocean matter in so long, I forgot.”

Then he shifted his topic earnestly, asking Hill, ”I thought you...”

”What?” Hill, already quite familiar with this guy, sneered, ”You couldn’t possibly think I would help Toril’s Goddess of the Sea seize rights, are you?

Not all of the Undead Tribe folks have good relations with her!

You really are... don’t always lump things together!”

”The relationship between me and the Undead Tribe is quite good, but I would never hurt my own interests because of it, let alone harm my friends.”

Aesces hesitated for a few seconds before saying, ”So, you really are willing to consider me as your friend?”

”I never have time to care about strangers.” Hill raised his head, speaking helplessly, ”Otherwise, why would I bother with you so much when I could just sit in silence to recharge?”

Although it’s not a life-and-death union, it indeed can be called a friendship.

Aesces joyfully exploded a brilliant firework on Hill’s head.

Then Hill’s angry shout followed: ”Can’t you see what I am doing here? Huh?

The color of Olayseyth Steel is already colorful enough! You don’t need to add so much to it!

You troublemaking guy!”

”Ahhhh~” Aesces screamed and disappeared from Hill’s Magic Tower, ”I didn’t mean to~ I forgot, I really forgot!”

Hill looked at the cloak on the table in front of him, filled with countless mineral colors, nearly in tears.

This thing, even Oriana wouldn’t dare to wear it outside!

”Sir...” List spoke very seriously, ”Could you please stop jinxing yourself?

No matter how lucky someone is, there will still be negative attributes.

You’ve predicted trouble in this regard for yourself, so stop saying anything that could... uh, possibly harm yourself.”

He still remembered Hill once said he could certainly finish this third set of cloaks before everything ended.

Hill clenched his fists and took a deep breath: ”No! This has nothing to do with me.

It’s all because Aesces is a fool!

A clueless, brainless fool!”

List thought Hill was just being stubborn.

But keeping such things unspoken is what a good steward should do, so he chose to silently turn and disappear.

Leaving behind Hill, who could only stare at the half-finished cloak on the table without a smile.

-----------------

In the desert, they were unaware of the little episode in the Heavenly Realm... Since Aesces had long determined there could be countless mysterious beings participating in the battle here, he naturally made isolation techniques from the start.

For other deities, quietly altering the connection between a region and the world’s core might not be easy, but for him, who is part of this world himself, it is just a matter of course.

Therefore, Hell’s Gate did not rapidly link to the membrane of this world as the Lord of Devils imagined, nor did it immediately begin absorbing this world’s energy to elevate this Dimensional Gate’s level.

This also means that if he wants to enter Aesces, he can only choose to obey this world’s rules, only able to send a 16th-level incarnation over.

He couldn’t even bring many subordinates.

This surprised Asmodeus.

He had observed this Earth Lord for a long time... truly not thinking Aesces had such quick and accurate reaction capabilities.

Then he quickly shifted his gaze to the faraway Undead Tribe command.

Asmodeus sighed lightly.

This is a soul he absolutely cannot obtain; even the Soul Light cannot be seen, so it’s not worth the trouble.

Although it’s a bit of a pity, Hell never lacks ambitious and wise ones; he merely wants to collect some interesting souls.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been foolish enough to let Tiamat manage the first layer of Hell... ending up in a situation where he had to replace Tiamat with a more threatening guy while severely injured, unable to open his eyes.

He just doesn’t want the cleanup to be too tiresome when waking up, not intending to face an empty Hell... Tiamat would certainly sell Hell to the Demon Lord of Bottomless Abyss for wealth.

By that time, she had already started colluding with demons... purposely selling off those with whom she had a poor relationship or those who didn’t pay her tribute from the subordinates of the Duke of Demons.

After all, not every Duke of Demons needs to personally participate in the Hell blood battle, but they must provide combat personnel.

Regretfully glancing at the seaside ’Snow Cloud Peak,’ Asmodeus finally chose to kick open the door and walked out himself.

He feared he wouldn’t be on time; evidently, more than one wants to snatch food and compete with him.

Rose sensed something was off when seeing Hell’s Gate, so she almost immediately used the accessory hanging on Young Master Ismael to move to that Rainbow-surrounded Oasis.

She couldn’t care less about the bewildered, even somewhat desperate little boy, only jumped out of the palace, directly releasing large quantities of Mutated Silk Spiders.

Flying silk spiders sprayed white silk across the entire Rainbow Bridge instantly.

Spider Queen didn’t hesitate to transform into a gigantic black spider, charging upwards.

However, a trident descended from the sky appeared in front of her.
