Chapter 2067 Hope Amidst Despair

-----

Ervin enhanced his entire body with the power of his Divine Aura, his Dao Fragments inside of his Origin Core reacting to his call, merging their strength together as he flashed through the sea, reaching Aarae in a split of a second!

"LEAVE HER ALONE!"

With a furious and berserk roar, Ervin spun in midair as he descended, galloping in midair. His trident crushing each Tritonian as his blows resembled giant harpoons, kraken tentacles, and swarms of piranhas attacking them!

"[Divine Ocean Prince's Trident Arts]: [Merciless Harpoon]! [Kraken's Mighty Tentacles]! [Gluttonous Piranha's Swarms]!"

CLAAASH! CLAAASH! CLAAASH!

The Tritonian Warriors were pushed back and destroyed one after another before Ervin's furious onslaught, as Aarae stayed behind him, conjuring her magic.

"I-I'll back you up dear!" She muttered. "[Primordial Sea Witch Queen Magic]: [Ocean Goddess Wrath]!"

Suddenly, Aarae went all out, channeling her powers and fusing them with the Ocean Tear's Fragment, as the seas around her fused together, forming the shape of a gigantic mermaid goddess. Her blue fairy-like wings glowed brightly, emanating a divine and mystical light.

"RAAAAHHH!"

The Ocean Goddess gave a single mighty war cry, crushing dozens of Tritonian at the same time and stopping them from overwhelming them all!

SPLAASH! SPLAASH! SPLAASH!

"Hahh… Phew…" Aarae sighed in relief, resting over Ervin's lower half. "Hahhh…"

"You're too exhausted, Aarae! I told you not to overexert yourself!" Ervin cried. "I'll heal you-"

"It's fine… I'm alright." Aarae smiled back at him. "I-"

"I got you!"

SPLAAASH!

Suddenly, the seas right below the two started shaking uncontrollably, hundreds of enormous hands reached Aarae, attempting to wrap around her body and capture her!

"YOU BASTARD!"

Knowing it was Oceanus' will, Ervin swiftly responded, attacking all the arms desperately, trying to be as fast as possible as he galloped over the water!

CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAASH!

Every second counted, every single millisecond!

Ervin kept destroying them at lightning-fast speed, he was one of his clan's speediest fighters, and his Agility Stat was so high he could even feel the world going slowly when he channeled all his powers into it!

However… it wasn't going to be enough to save her, he wasn't going to be able to reach her in time! Aarae was too tired to fight back now, she was going to be killed in front of him!

"I need more power… More… MORE!"

As Ervin put his entire will and intent into this, within his Origin Core, the fragments of many different Daos he had acquired through Kireina's Facilities within her Divine Realm, suddenly started to merge together.

Sometimes, based in the will of the wielder, Dao Fragments would respond to it and combine to create a new Dao! Especially for Ervin, who was already a Pseudo Supreme God.

"RAAAAHHH!!!"

All the Dao Fragments converged together into a single and large sphere of blue and golden light, shining with brilliant radiance and imbuing him with new power.

Ding!

[Due to your unyielding Tenacity and Will to protect the one you love the most, your Dao Fragments have converged to create the [Supreme Dao of Ocean Knight]!]

[The [Supreme Dao of Ocean Knight] effect has been activated! As long as you chivalrously protect the innocent, or those you love more than anything, All Stats increase by +180% and an [Ocean Knight's Mighty Aura] encompasses your body, decreasing Damage Taken by -50%.]

[However, Divine Power is being constantly drained…]

"I will protect you… No matter what!"

Ervin gained a mighty and shining armor of golden sea divinity, as he clashed against all of Oceanus attacks, only water splashed over Aarae as she saw in amusement her husband protecting her with all his life into it!

"Ervin…!"

CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAASH!

Oceanus sneak attack failed, his power breaking down as Ervin managed to destroy his Divine Array, grabbing Aarae and escaping into the ghost ship's safety.

FLAAASH!

"Hahh… Are you alright, Aarae?!" He asked desperately.

"I-I am…" Aarae smiled faintly, caressing his handsome face. "Thank you… for protecting me, that was really cool, hehe…"

"I would give my life for you…" Ervin hugged her tightly as he carried her in his arms, giving her a kiss in her soft lips. "Stay here for now, alright? You're too tired."

"Okay…" Aarae nodded. "I understand, I'll rest for- Eh?!"

"What?" Ervin asked in surprise.

"T-The Ocean's Tear Fragment… I lost it!" Aarae panicked.

"Wait… No!" Ervin glanced into the distance, noticing one of Oceanus hands made of ocean water holding the blue jewel!

"Hahah… HAHAHAHA! FOOLISH YOUNGLINGS! Too worried about each other's life, this is why you shouldn't be allowed to fight, pathetic fools!"

Oceanus laughed, the second Ocean Tear Fragment flying towards his chest and fusing with the power…

TRUUUMMM…!

A shockwave of almighty oceanic energy reached the seas of Atlantis, an enormous tsunami blowing Gaby and Poseidon away in the spot, as Oceanus gained even more authority over the Atlantean Sea!

"W-What's happening?!" Gaby could only resist the endless tsunamis as she was pushed back by Oceanus' might!

"Urgh…! It can't be, this damn bastard got the other fragment?! But didn't your daughter have it?!" Poseidon asked Gaby.

"Aarae lost it?!" Gaby was taken aback.

"HAHAHAHA! YOU UTTER FOOLS!" Oceanus laughed evilly. "I've got it! The second Fragment! With this, I am invincible!

FLUOOOSH!

Oceanus formed his new body from within the sea, even bigger, even more almighty, even more powerful! The Realm of Atlantis was shaking, its very earth, sea, life, it was all becoming his body.

"Prepare yourselves, you monsters." Laughed Oceanus. "Especially YOU, Poseidon! I'll crush you all and cleanse Atlantis from your filth! DIE!"

A titanic spear made of large chunk of the whole Realm of Atlantis surged from the sea, floating in midair. It was so big that its shadow covered a large part of the whole Realm from the light produced by the Spiritual Plane's skies.

"[Primordial Spear of Atlantis]!"

FLAAASSHH!!!

The titanic spear descended towards them, Gaby, Poseidon, and everyone else running away as fast as possible!

TRUUUMMM…!

"Hahahah! Serves you right- Eh?!"

However, Oceanus' attack was suddenly blocked, as he noticed thousands of spirit wood branches growing from the sea and catching his spear, destroying it into pieces.

"Hey, we finally made it... How are you doing, bastard?"

And on top of the ever-growing tree, there was a mischievous fairy.
