Chapter 224: Plan Exposed? Temporary Change
Chapter 224: Plan Exposed? Temporary Change
A spine resembling an isolated island slowly appeared before Poseidon's eyes. Poseidon knew about the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and had even had the privilege of seeing it once. However, the sheer size of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body still filled people with awe no matter how many times they saw it.
If Poseidon hadn't needed her, Poseidon would probably have turned around and left right now.
Poseidon knew in her heart that what happened next was none of her business; she just needed to stand there and watch.
As the Deep Sea Demon Whale King appeared on the surface of the sea, waves suddenly surged up, centered on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, tens of thousands of meters away from him, completely blocking out the sun beyond the waves.
The waves are circular, with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King at its center.
"After all these years, you haven't changed."
"Poseidon".
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King sensed the changes in the surrounding sea and knew that Poseidon had made his move. The other party was always like this; even though he knew that such methods could not do anything to him, he still had to show off every time they met.
It's as if Poseidon wouldn't be the god of the sea if he weren't shown.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King knew very well that Poseidon was doing this to provoke him and make him do something irrational. Before meeting Su Chen, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King appeared calm, but in his heart he was also angered by Poseidon's actions.
Now that he has met Su Chen, he has changed his perspective on Poseidon's behavior. He is no longer angry as before, and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King even wants to laugh a couple of times.
Thinking this way, he did it.
A deep, hoarse, and extremely unpleasant laugh echoed over the ocean, carrying far and wide. Following the laughter came the deliberately provocative words of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
"It's always like this, are you afraid of me?"
"If I become a god, you will have to share half of your authority with me, and the title of sea god will then be undeserved."
Regardless of whether Poseidon answered or not, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King simply said what he wanted to say. What did it matter to him what Poseidon thought?
The waves surrounding the Deep Sea Demon Whale King were affected by him as they approached, causing the waves to drop in height. When they got close, they became as small as ordinary waves, posing no threat to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King whatsoever.
In terms of scope, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is inferior to Poseidon. After all, Poseidon was the first sea god, and his control over the sea was far beyond what the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who had not yet become a god, could contend with.
However, the power of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is considerable, and the power he controls within his surrounding area is greater than that of Poseidon.
Who told Poseidon not to come here in his true form?
If the true form of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King were to come, it would certainly be unable to compete with Poseidon for control.
"Your skills have improved again."
Poseidon did not show himself; only his voice could be heard, but his figure was nowhere to be seen.
Someone of Poseidon's caliber could hide himself so well that even if he stood right in front of you, you might not be able to detect him.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is no good, and Poseidon is even worse.
"You've improved, so what, are you scared?"
"If you want to kill my chance to become a god, you'd better hurry up and make your move, because if you don't, I'm about to break through."
As the Deep Sea Demon Whale King spoke, his aura continued to rise, and just when he was about to become a god, his aura suddenly stopped.
He feigned regret and said, "It's still a little short, but it'll be soon."
Reaching the level of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, it is extremely difficult to improve one's strength. The Sea God knew this, which is why he used the Deep Sea Demon Whale King as a means to test his successor.
But at this moment, the aura of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was far stronger than what Poseidon had previously detected.
Why is this happening?
Poseidon did not believe that this power originated from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King himself.
Just as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King understood Poseidon's temperament perfectly, Poseidon also understood the Deep Sea Demon Whale King very well.
Therefore, he knew very well that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King could not possibly increase its strength in this time on its own.
With a sudden thought, Poseidon remembered the person who appeared in Xiaobai and Poseidon's narration: Su Chen.
"Did Su Chen help you improve your strength?"
Poseidon asked out of the blue, saying that Su Chen helped the Deep Sea Demon Whale King improve his strength, but subconsciously Poseidon still believed that Su Chen was the spokesperson for the Rakshasa God.
As with Poseidon, it's more accurate to say that Rakshasa intervened than that Su Chen helped him.
One thing that Poseidon couldn't understand was why the Rakshasa God would help the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
He and the Rakshasa God were not mortal enemies, so it was clearly abnormal for the other party to be making enemies everywhere.
Unfortunately, Poseidon misjudged the relationship between Su Chen and the Rakshasa God from the very beginning, so he naturally couldn't guess the truth.
"Yes, he helped me."
He also said he could help me become a god.
Seeing that Poseidon was deep in thought, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was afraid that the other party had figured it out, so he quickly interrupted Poseidon's thinking and asked a question instead.
"You came here this time, wasn't it for this very reason?"
"Of course not."
Poseidon's thoughts were interrupted by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. He stopped thinking about Rakshasa God's purpose in doing so and appeared in front of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. His eyes were full of disdain when he looked at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
"You have cultivated diligently for over 300,000 years and have only just touched the edge of godhood. There is still a long way to go before you become a god."
"Don't even mention that Su Chen only has the cultivation of a Saint. Even if he were a top-tier Douluo, he still couldn't help you become a god."
"If he really has the ability, why doesn't he come himself?"
Poseidon spoke confidently, and that was exactly what he thought. In his view, the sudden surge in the aura of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King must have been caused by external forces, and he simply did not believe that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King could become a god.
In Su Chen's plan, the most crucial step in getting Poseidon to descend to the mortal realm was to make him believe that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was about to break through, and then add other things, such as the intervention of the Rakshasa God, to force Poseidon to descend.
If the plan fails at the very first step, Su Chen is afraid he will lose everything.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was startled by Poseidon's confident tone, thinking that Poseidon was now so intelligent that he could see through the trap in advance.
But then he realized why Poseidon was so certain that he wouldn't break through.
If the Deep Sea Demon Whale King were to break through to godhood, he would become a god. Knowing that Poseidon would hinder his path to godhood and might even cause his death, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King would certainly not have so openly told Poseidon if he were truly capable of breaking through.
The only possibility that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King isn't worried about Poseidon causing trouble is that he's deceiving Poseidon.
Once he understood Poseidon's conjecture, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King immediately realized that he and Su Chen needed to slightly modify their plan.
Let's move to another version. (End of Chapter)
