Dragon King of Apocalypse

"My son I hope you stay well, something isn't right in the universe at the moment. I am not sure what is going on but you may be swept into a terrifying storm in the future."

"I only hope you can do your best to survive it."

With that being said Tang San released a sigh before moving his arms down and bringing Tang Wulin into a strong hug.

Even though his figure was illusory and even though he couldn't hug his son, he still hopes his love would transfer to him.

It was then his figure began fading away, with him giving his son one last smile before he completely vanished.

"Talk? Just what do you want to talk about to us?"Questioned Gu Yue with a raised brow, a bit confused and interested in the queen's word.

It wasn't just her but everyone else even the mermen were looking at her in surprise. Seeing the look of surprise on the mermen, this made Gu Yue believe the queen didn't inform her subordinates on what she was planning.

'Could it be she only recently thought to have them bring us to her?' Thought Gu Yue as she waited for the queen to respond.

"Let us wait for the last one." Said Queen Marina as she closed her eyes, not talking anymore.

"The last one?" Questioned Yue Zhengyu.

"She most likely means Tang Wulin and Na'er." Said Zang Xin with a sigh causing Yue Zhengyu to slightly frown.

"You think they got captured too?"

"Who knows, I'm not even sure if Wulin can stay awake from that spiritual energy surge that swept through the palace." Said Xie Xie with a sigh.

"Wulin should be fine, it's only Na'er that would be knocked out from the spiritual energy wave. Although if Wulin is with her, then we have nothing to worry about when it comes to her." Said Gu Yue.

"Are you saying boss can withstand that?"

"He can, his body is that special."

Of course, the true reason why Tang Wulin would be fine, his golden dragon king madness and destruction would protect his mind.

To attack his mind is no different than igniting the wrath of the beast within him. Normal attacks like trapping his mind or slightly poking his spiritual sea were okay as it wasn't enough to garner said beast's attention.

But if one was to try to crush him with a mental attack, then they would be destroyed by the madness of a God-King.

As she was done thinking this, Gu Yue felt her spiritual sensing fluctuating before letting out a sigh.

As she was doing this, everyone else was trying to think of a plan to get out of here. Yet they were curious at the same time, as the soul beasts so far haven't been trying to stop them from regaining their energy.

'Just why is that?' Thought Xu Lizhi as he glances around, seeing the stoic look of the mermen soldiers and the glare of the Sea General.

Only Queen Marina seemed to be calm as she kept her eyes closed, waiting for his other friends to show up. It was then that he saw she opened her eyes that seemed to flash with a particular light as she glanced at the hall entrance.

"Everyone is here, we can now begin." Said Queen Marina as she taps on the floor before a blue pulse of energy swept through the room.

It was then a vortex of water began forming in the middle of the room before a figure was ejected out.

"Na'er!"

Everyone but Gu Yue and Zang Xin shouted as they saw Na'er staggering out of the vortex of water.

"She is a Limit Douluo." Said Gu Yue as she glanced at the Queen who was gazing at them.

"Yes, she is." Muttered Zang Xin with a frown, understanding their situation wasn't looking too good.

Gu Yue knew that Na'er was moving towards them while moving through the spatial gap, avoiding all of the searching soldiers. She was able to sense that Ne'er was approaching close to her because of their connection with her.

Only someone at the level of a Limit Douluo would be able to sense and easily drag her out of the spatial gaps.

"Now then, let's begin with our talk." Said Queen Marina, not caring for the gazes that were moved towards her.

"I heard your words before and how you commented about the being known as Jormungandr, which means you all know about the beast. Could this be the reason why you all venture down here? To find the beast that is here?"Questioned Queen Marina as she moved her gaze across the humans.

But she didn't give the humans a chance to answer as she continued talking.

"Whether this was your goal or not, doesn't matter as I am sure you all realize how terrifying Jormungandr is? If the beast is left unchecked and allowed to wander the ocean freely, the world will be in danger." Said Queen Marina caused everyone in the room's expression to change.

"Wait a minute, could it be you-"

"I want to ally with you humans until the threat of Jormungandr is gone from the seas." Said Queen Marina caused everyone's eyes to widen.

Whether it be the mermen soldiers or humans, all of them didn't think the Queen would suggest such a thing.

One has to understand; this is an actual alliance between humanity and soul beast that she was suggesting. It didn't matter that the people present didn't represent the peak of humanity or had any high position.

All that matters was that a soul beast was willing to cooperate with humanity. Such a thing would normally be impossible because of the relationship between the two races.

Na'er eyes widened, as this was something she desired for a long time now, regardless of the circumstances.

Although she never thought a soul beast would be the one to actually request the alliance.

"You want us to cooperate with you? Even after all the things, you have done!" Shouted Xie Xie as he was ticked off from the fact they had all of their soldiers attacking them.

"I agree if you wanted to work with us. Why didn't you just have one of your men escort us?"Questioned Dai Yun'er as she crossed her arms.

"Two reasons, I first needed to know just how strong you all are. If you all were weak, then having your cooperation would be useless as this means you all aren't that important to humanity."Said Queen Marina causing all of the humans to furrow their brows but they didn't say anything.

"The second reason is I wanted you all to experience it. The terrifying and unrelenting force of Jormungandr, so you all can understand just what type of beast lives under you."

"I see, the first reason is to see how we can be worth you. The second reason is for us to understand just how much we will need each other, am I right?" Questioned Gu Yue causing Queen Marina to nod her head.

"So you want to help you kill one of your kind?" Questioned Shen Yi a bit surprised at the words of this queen.

One has to understand, in the end; the calamities were soul beasts at their core. They could be even sea soul beast defenders. It was a surprise to her that they wanted to get rid of it.

But Queen Marina only scoffed with a frown.

"That beast doesn't care about the well beings of the sea soul beast. All it cares for is to be left alone, but I am sure you all understand why that can't happen?"

The humans fell silent at the words of the Queen, as it caused them to recall the devastating damage that the calamities caused.

"Wait, what did it do to you guys?" Questioned Dai Yun'er as she didn't understand the Queen's motive.

"It's not what it has done to us but what it will. While you all were wondering about the palace, I have been watching the beast. And what I saw, was something dark and sinister, a darkness that will swallow all of the sea beasts in the future." Said Queen Marina with a grim look as she started to slightly tremble.

'My Queen!' Thought the Sea General Aron as he clenched his trident as he started to understand just how much pressure his queen was under.

For her to have gone so far as to request the help of humanity and her words just now, what more proof does he need?

"What type of darkness are you talking about?" Questioned Zang Xin as he narrowed his eyes.

As Queen Marina began to open her mouth, the sea palace began shaking vigorously. The sea began shaking, as maelstroms and whirlpools began to form undersea.

"What is going on!" Shouted Xie Xie as he fell to the ground.

"It's Jormungdr!"

Tang Wulin blinked his eyes as he found himself back in the golden hall where he met his father and mother.

"Sea God Eighth Trial, Battle Between Father and Child, Finished. Sea God Ninth Trial opens, pull out the Sea God Trident !"

A light began forming in front of Tang Wulin, before it parted and what was there was a huge Sea God Trident.

At this moment, it was firmly inserted on the ground, exuding a faint halo, but Tang Wulin could still feel the soft presence of his father from it.

Subconsciously, he took a step forward, holding the halberd of the Trident with his hands tightly, to his surprise it was warm.

As if someone was recently holding it, wielding it and brandishing it.

"Father..."

Tang Wulin let out a sigh as he recalled all the events between him and his father, the fun they had, and the fight they did.

He recalled his mother's tears, her everlasting love for him, and her wish to hold him in her arms.

As his eyes opened, he didn't feel anything different but for some reason. He felt like there were two extra hands on his back, pushing him forward.

And he began pulling.

A light began to pulse from the trident as it began to slowly be pulled out of the ground. The golden light began to hack upon Tang Wulin's arm as if it was trying to stop him from pulling it out.

Yet Tang Wulin continued pulling, his eyes were clear and calm, fully intending to claim this trident as his own.

Even as it increased in heaviness or as the light from it became even harsher, cutting and chopping at his body. His blood was leaking down from the trident as it continued rising with an enormous power being released.

Tang Wulin felt his body trembling furiously. The area around him was shaking, no it was more like the whole world was shaking around him.

Yet he didn't care as with a shout, pulled with all of his might.

Releasing a terrifying amount of divine fluctuation that darken the sky above, shattered the pillars around and cracked the ground below.

Thousands of small golden rays appeared from all over.

They all began to shine upon Tang Wulin as he held the Sea God Trident in his right arm, its beauty and grace becoming even more vivid.

The blades of the trident were shining with waves of golden light, as the symbol of a trident appeared on Tang Wulin's forehead.

It was shining with a golden-blue light as Tang Wulin's hair began to sway as if a gust was stirred up.

His figure was completely drenched in the golden light, with his hair shining prominently with blue. His eyes were pulsing with a golden-blue light, with wisps of red flickering.

Yes, he has done it.

He has claimed the Sea God Trident.

"Sea God Ninth Trial, Claim the Trident."

"Finished!"
