Chapter 226: Chapter 213 Everything Comes to Light_2

If the Ancient Sea God revives, whether for the Sea God’s divinity or to seek revenge on him, they won’t spare their father and son.

They would certainly be happy to avoid this trouble."

"Cough, cough!"

The Sea Emperor lightly coughed twice: "Anyway, we used the same method as back then.

But because there was no way to test it, we could only assume we succeeded.

Just like that, time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, Gretel grew up, and everything seemed normal.

We all thought we had succeeded and didn’t need to worry about the Ancient Ocean God anymore.

But just a few years ago, this child suddenly became seriously ill and spoke nonsense while lying in bed.

Her language was obscure and difficult to understand, making it seem like she was a completely different person.

I prayed to the Sea God, but at that time, the Sea God had already completely left this world and couldn’t temporarily respond to my call.

Later we speculated that this was likely a sign of the Ancient Sea God reviving within her.

When we were helpless, a group of mysterious people found us.

They told us about the Witch plan of the Tower of Truth and claimed they could help us solve this problem.

Not only could they use Witch Power to suppress the will of the Ancient Sea God, but they could also extract the Sea God’s Blood from her!"

Lette was startled: "The Truth Workshop?"

"Yes, it was them."

Lette pinched the bridge of his nose: "I see. They ran such a big circle, but it was still those bastards causing trouble.

I have to admit, when it comes to stirring up trouble, the Tower of Truth even has the qualification to challenge me."

Even Lilith was a bit confused now: "So, all of this was orchestrated by the Truth Workshop from behind?"

Lette waved his hand: "No, they were the ones who lit the fuse, but the development of the situation has long gone beyond their control.

At the very beginning, it was during the time Gretel was sick and speaking nonsense.

It should correspond to the time when the previous City Lord of Harbor City found the small fishing village and brought the magicians from the Truth Workshop into it.

The effect of that event was that the oath between the Ancient Ocean God and the village guardian was broken.

I suspect, perhaps back then, it wasn’t an oath, but more like a bet.

In this bet, the village guardian ultimately lost, the Ancient Ocean God won, resulting in her revival within Gretel.

But because of the suppression of the Light Divinity, her revival failed, and she again entered dormancy.

Afterward, it was the remnants of Truth who went to the Holy City to stir up trouble, simultaneously unsealing the Liar Demon.

Then, the Liar Demon discovered the uncontainable power of the small fishing village and used it to lay out a scheme in Harbor City.

At the same time, the Truth Workshop folks found His Majesty the Sea Emperor, under the pretense of treating illness, actually to take the Little Mermaid away for research.

Of course, they were really doing something and indeed tried to strip away Unica’s Witch Power and bestow it upon the Little Mermaid.

However, since Unica hadn’t awakened, she didn’t feel much different.

But then, the Liar Demon, to further his plan, unexpectedly attacked their underground alchemy workshop.

He accidentally released the Calamity Level containment object, Disaster Crocodile, almost causing the Little Mermaid’s death.

He attempted to have Unica’s uncle, the youngest son of the last village guardian, commit serial murder to complete a sacrificial ritual to strengthen the fishing village’s power.

But this, in fact, invisibly charged the Ancient Ocean God within Gretel.

Later, we defeated the Liar Demon and completely solved the fishing village’s problem.

Everything seemed to be perfectly resolved, but at this time, the Ancient Sea God within Gretel had already met all other conditions for revival.

Only the final step remained."

After hearing Lette’s analysis, everyone was still somewhat confused, especially the Sea Emperor, whose brows knit into a knot.

"Lord Wright, your reasoning is interesting, but you also said the Sea God’s Blood within Gretel is gone.

This is the most important anchor for the Sea God to revive!"

"Yes, Lette."

Unica quickly said, "You prepared such a grand welcoming ceremony, isn’t it because you’re afraid Gretel would be bullied when she returns without the Sea Emperor’s Blood in her?"

Lette chuckled lightly: "Wanting Sea Emperor’s Blood back isn’t difficult, is it? Although Gretel lost the Sea God’s Blood, she’s still of the Sea King Clan.

As long as she engages in a life-and-death duel, she can once again gather the Sea God’s Blood?"

The Sea Queen waved a hand: "Impossible, Gretel is kind-hearted and has never fought with anyone.

She, she would never engage in a life-and-death duel!"

"What if there’s a group of the Sea Emperor Clan eagerly awaiting the return of the Ancient Ocean God?"

Lette’s question made the whole chamber’s atmosphere plummet to freezing point. From the ugly expressions on Sea Emperor and Sea Queen’s faces, it was clear that Lette’s ’if’ was more than just hypothetical.

It’s actually understandable; the Third Generation Sea God surrendered without a fight in the last War of Gods.

This, for him, was repaying the Holy Light Goddess.

But for the Sea Clan, it was more like "we were ready to fight to the death, why surrender first?".

The Sea Clan, to this day, still refuses to acknowledge the human world’s dominance, nor do they accept the Holy Light Goddess as the World Main God.

Under such extreme emotions, it’s not surprising for a group to despise the Third Generation Sea God and long for the Ancient Sea God.

After all, during the Ancient Sea God’s War of Gods, he single-handedly fought against the siege from other deities!

Though defeated, he was still honored!

Seeing no rebuttal from the Sea Emperor and Sea Queen, Lette continued his narrative of event development.

"From the very beginning, the previous City Lord of Harbor City established contact with some high-ranking members of the Sea Clan to secure his position.

I suspect his supporters in the Sea Clan were those fanatical followers of the Ancient Sea God.

It was these people who, after controlling the previous City Lord, forced him to take people from the Truth Workshop to the small fishing village.

Leading to the series of subsequent events!

Now that everything is ready, the Ancient Ocean God is about to return, just short of some Sea God’s Blood.

I think, at this time, they won’t hesitate to sacrifice their lives.

Once the final piece of the puzzle is assembled, Gretel will become the Ancient Sea God.

Moreover, now, somehow this Ancient Sea God has effectively solved the problem of the incompatibility of natural gods with divinity.

She is now quite adept at using Witch Power.

The monsters attacking Harbor City are likely the result of Sea Clan Alchemy."

At this point, Lette suddenly took out the Blue Gemstone that the last village guardian of the fishing village, Unica’s grandfather, had given him.

"No, I need to correct something.

The past of this world may not have just three Sea Gods.

Before the Ancient Sea God, there may have been a stronger, older, and even more mysterious being that evolved to an Indescribable Level [Sea].

And the village guardians of Hegro Village did not worship the Ancient Ocean God, but this more terrifying [Sea].

The Ancient Ocean God, back then, dominated but failed in ascension, resulting in the ability to revive now and integrate other divinities using the foundation of a Natural God.

These accomplishments are not something a God of Law could achieve.

Perhaps, back then, she had already obtained a part of the [Sea]’s legacy.

As for the bet in the fishing village, it might have been her strategy to obtain this Blue Gemstone.

But she didn’t expect that mere humans would persevere through generations for so long.

To the point that they outlasted her.

Yet it is this bet that now gives her the chance to turn the tables."

Lilith, from her high position, quickly understood what Lette was trying to convey.

"I see, then that mist during the sea monster attack, should also be their doing.

Knowing that what she has been longing for has fallen into your hands, she might be even more relentless in troubling you."

Lette sneered: "She caused me such a big problem; I don’t intend to let her off either!

Your Majesty Sea Emperor, you don’t need to worry about Gretel’s safety either.

I will naturally ensure she is safely rescued because I promised her I would always protect her.

As for that so-called Ancient Ocean God, sorry, there possibly won’t be even a trace left."

The Sea Emperor shivered, sensing endless killing intent in Lette’s calm tone.

Suddenly, he felt fortunate that the one offending this man wasn’t himself.

"Very well then! I’ll leave it to you, Holy Sin Lord!"

Lilith quietly asked: "Hey, what do you plan to do next?"

"Nurture soldiers for a thousand days, use them for an hour."

Lette rubbed his hands with a smile: "The Witch Power on Gretel is the greatest flaw of the Ocean God.

Fairy Town has been built for such a long time; it’s about time it shows some use."
