The long cry of the conch shell echoed like a distant song in the vast ocean created by Mirick's Shrine.
Accompanied by a deep and ancient roar, a massive shadow appeared beneath the waves.
As the sea waves rolled, that enormous shadow began to spread, much like a Leviathan rising inexorably.
Soon, amidst tumultuous waves, huge and terrifying purple-black tentacles emerged above the water's surface.
The seawater parted on its own, revealing an enormous octopus head, its size surpassed a hundred meters in length, even larger than a giant dragon.
It bore Charlotte like a ship, lifting her with its massive head, while eight colossal tentacles slightly contracted, as if loyal sentinels guarding their Monarch.
"Kraken!"
"Helios" widened his eyes, his expression tinged with a hint of astonishment.
The terrifying sea creature elevated Charlotte.
Scarlet eyes, as large as a buffalo, glared with hatred at the deity across, who held a trident, then let out a deafening roar:
"Roar—!"
With that roar, the vibration of the Sea King Trident grew intense, and then... as if reaching a critical point, the Sun Runes embedded within suddenly cracked and shattered!
"Helios" felt an irresistible Power of Laws emanate from his hands, not Divine Power, nor Magic Power, but some unstoppable law.
Under the influence of that power, the Sea King Trident seemed to have come alive, breaking free from His grip, and flew straight toward Charlotte and the giant creature Kraken.
Charlotte slightly lifted her hand, and the Sea King Trident flew into her palm as if it had received a command.
The phantom of a giant octopus flashed on the trident, then... completely fused with the giant beast Kraken beneath Charlotte.
Immediately, the Sea King Trident in Charlotte's hand seemed to have fully come to life, becoming vivid and animated.
Witnessing this scene, even "Helios," though slow to react, realized something:
"Kraken...! You... you're the Artifact Spirit of the Sea King Trident!"
"Helios" looked grim, anger suppressed in his eyes.
But He quickly calmed down, looking coldly at Charlotte:
"When? Just when... did this happen?"
"I remember it had been sealed away by me, and most of its consciousness destroyed..."
"How did you acquire it, and how did you heal it?"
Seeing "Helios's" unpleasant expression, Charlotte smiled faintly:
"Do I... need to tell you?"
She spoke, once more wielding Holy Power, platinum radiance gathered in her palm, enveloping the Sea King Trident.
A more vast and terrifying aura surged from the trident, intertwining blue and platinum Divine Power, forming a mighty deity's phantom.
Charlotte wielded the trident, ascending like a War God descended on earth.
She leaped from Kraken's embrace, raising her long spear, and lunged toward "Helios"!
...
Time rewound to a few days ago.
The day Guardian's Staff formally assisted Charlotte in gaining access to the Holy Royal Court's Faith Network permissions.
With the establishment of an official link with the Holy Royal Court's Faith Network, Charlotte felt as if she had become a deity of the Royal Court, effortlessly channeling Holy Power through the Faith Network.
Platinum Holy Power blossomed in her palm, coexisting peacefully with the Blood Divine Power within her, both rotating around her Divine Position, achieving a miraculous balance under the pale Primordial Aura's blessing.
Charlotte felt a strong surge of Life Force enter her body, though she, as a Demigod, did not require it, it still invigorated her spirit.
It was the power of Holy Force, the Holy Royal Court's collected Holy Power, originating from numerous lives, immense Life Force being its most distinctive feature, and its superior healing Divine Arts all derived from it.
Feeling the colossal Holy Power in her grasp, Charlotte's mind stirred:
"Wait... since I gained permission for Holy Power, can I directly help Kraken heal its injuries?"
"Kraken is Oceanus's pet, it must know many things. Its soul has been damaged; if healed, its memories would undoubtedly return. It mentioned Oceanus tasked it to wait for me, surely there's vital information to convey!"
"It might even know the whereabouts of the Sea King Trident. If it indeed fell into Helios's hands, perhaps... it could assist me in confronting that Divine Artifact..."
"More than that, it's a Legendary beast, far beyond ordinary Legend, capable of contending with Mythical beings to some extent given the current Magic Power concentration."
"If healed, it can be an additional aid while facing Helios!"
It was a peculiar sensation, akin to Spiritual Sense unique to Mythical beings. Once thoughts turned to Kraken, she couldn't stop thinking about healing it instantly.
She greatly trusted that sense, the Observation Path's Law Power granting her supernatural foresight. She was convinced healing Kraken would provide significant support against Helios.
