Chapter 980 Umbra’s Cruelty

King Neptune, and all the other nobles who stood opposite Draco's group, had just finished inquiring as to their purpose here when they were blasted in the face with the power up from their Rank Up.

Their faces changed greatly when they sensed this, for Draco, Eva and Shuangtian had become exponentially powerful.

From stats alone, their increases had gone from 40,000% to 80,000% which was double, but in terms of output, double was just the beginning. 40,000% was 400 times! 80,000% was 800 times!

Their base stats were already 200 for each of their seven stats at level 10. Times the base 400, their stats were at 80,000!!!

It will be said right, here, right now that no entity in the game had this much stats, except maybe True Gods because their stats and everything were calculated entirely differently.

This was why despite having been Rank 1, Draco, Eva and Shuangtian had been confident in their ability to kill quite literally everything below Rank 7. Even if you were Rank 6, and they were suffering from the Level and Rank suppression of 99% and 90% respectively.

Even with the 99%, their stats were still at 800 points per field, more than anyone below the True Gods. Just this was enough to beat any foe to death, and this was not even factoring in their equipment and other class skills that would bounce off these base stats!

A Semi-Eternal Class was a Semi-Eternal Class.

The current Draco and Eva, just by using the benefits of their Class, could beat their Divine Class selves to death even if their past selves used Class AND Bloodline at 99% while also being at Rank 4.

The only reason why Rank 7 foes were off the table was because the jump in the level of life from Rank 6 to Rank7 was the greatest among the mortal combat ranks.

Putting aside combat strength, just their survivability alone was bullshit. They had tens of zeroes behind their HP, and their defenses were as high as hell, not to mention that all of them auto-regenerated like 5% HP every other 5 seconds or so.

Trying to kill them was worse than trying to kill someone like Shuangtian, who was even more busted than the deceased Shangtian. A single Rank 7 could lie naked and let other top Rank 7's beat them for 4 years straight, and they still wouldn't die.

Only Titled Gods like Richmond who had wisps of Divine Energy could threaten them because Divine Energy was an insta-kill against most mortal species.

So Draco, Eva and Shuangtian had the combat power of Rank 7, and could fight them off, only lacking the ability to truly kill them. Even at their current Level 55 and with double their power, they still couldn't do it!

Oh, but they could definitely beat any Rank 7 until they cried for their mommy now, which was why the Rank 7's mermen suddenly felt their hearts go cold. To see someone power up like this right before you was intimidation at the highest level!

Realizing this, they felt rage and humiliation, but they were forced to swallow it down because what the fuck can you do about it?

Draco casually inspected the mermen before him and replied calmly. "We've come here to partake in the Trial of the Vault of the Deep."

The moment Draco mentioned their intentions, the expression of the entire merman group changed drastically. From initial fear, they became incredibly xenophobic and hostile, as if they had forgotten who had the bigger fist here.

This amused the core member group to no end, but they didn't even bother to adopt a ready up posture. This level of arrogance and disregard filled the mermen with hatred and killing intent, and it seemed like a conflict was about to explode.

At this moment, just when the tension was at its peak, the group heard a soft and childish voice sound.

"Papa! Are you okay?"

The entire group turned to look at a relatively young and lovely mermaid wearing a soft coral crown rushing over while some palace guards were trying to stop her.

She had silver hair that glowed like her father's with an ethereal light, and her pupils were a lively azure color. Coupled with her light pink scales for her fin and two pink clams that covered her moderate chest, she gave off the feeling of a clean and innocent young beauty who had just ripened.

The moment she appeared, the faces of the mermen changed greatly, especially King Neptune's. He turned and tried to rush towards his daughter, but someone was faster.

Eva grabbed the princess by the hair after stopping Time and moving behind her, then condensed a beam of white light at the tip of her finger as she pointed it at the back of the princess' head.

Freiza- *cough* *cough*, Eva smiled cruelly and glanced at the mermen group provocatively. The mermen were filled with rage and King Neptune especially roared like a wounded beast.

"NO!! LET GO OF MY SWEET OLIVIA! LET GO OF HER NOW!!" King Neptune screamed like a madness, not a lick of reason in his eyes.

He rushed towards Eva to stop her, but Shuangtian appeared before him and smirked as she threw a casual bloodline infused punch.

King Neptune glared at Shuangtian with endless killing intent and disdain in his heart. He was a Rank 7 powerhouse! If it wasn't for the fact that these fellows were strange and had some slight threat, he wouldn't even bother to be nice to them!

Since this wretched bitch dared to try and interrupt him, she could just die!

Picturing how Shuangtian would be slaughtered by him to vent his anger for capturing his beloved baby girl, King Neptune thrust his Divine-grade Trident forward, activating one of the active skills on it!

Description: The Golden Trident, according to ancient myth, was given to Poseidon by the great Cyclopes, the former Semi-Origin Gods of Blacksmithing who mentored Hephaestus, who also created the Helmet of Pluto, and the thunderbolts of Zeus. ?

Trident Pierce!

The Golden Trident exploded with a golden light as it magnified through creating an energy afterimage that overlaid over its base form and struck towards the frail looking Shuangtian.

King Neptune couldn't help it. Before he even struck, he had already seen victory, and so he burst into malicious laughter full of cruelty.

"Hahaha, die! Die!! Die!!!"

When the Golden Trident collided with Shuangtian's fist, the scene he expected was a fart in the clouds. Rather than Shuangtian being run through, the force of their collision connected fiercely, and it seemed to be on par with each other.

The force caused ripples and shockwaves in the water, which blew the oncoming guards and soldiers away, many blasting into bloodmist, while all the mermen except some of the Rank 7's were sent flying.

As for the core members, they did not even budge an inch. Even the shockwave from Kiran going Super Warrior 2 was more tumultuous that this.

King Neptune was horrified by Shuangtian's power, but when he saw his beloved daughter who was captured by Eva and barely protected from the shockwave, his returning rationality disappeared again.

A father seeing his little princess in such a situation would become crazier than the most hellish Demon. As such, King Neptune roared and began brandishing his trident towards Shuangtian rapidly, his movements turning into a golden blur.

Meanwhile Shuangtian sneered and reciprocated by manifesting her Divine Spear from Pangu's 8-Arms, striking out a hundred times in a second with her senseless speed.

The two weapons, one golden and one white, clashed endlessly in the sea area, causing waves and shockwaves that struck the entire city. Hundreds of mermen and merwomen died brutally and unfairly, wailing in anguish.

Even more were injured severely, watching the fight above with fear-filled eyes, wondering why this had to happen to them. It was like being hit with a magnitude 9 earthquake all of a sudden, no one was ready for the fallout.

The Merman King did not see this, too focused in his quest to save his daughter that he neglected his own people. He did not notice that his compatibility with the trident which had been previously very high was dropping rapidly as the fight continued.

After all, as a Divine Weapon it had its own spirit and its approval was necessary for a lot of the weapon's functions to work properly, especially the Sea Royalty passive.

As it were, Neptune noticed that he was slowly being overpowered by Shuangtian, and it was not because she was getting stronger but because he was getting weaker!

Neptune finally noticed the devastation this battle had dealt to his realm, and all his foes who were watching him make a clown of himself with smirks on their faces.

Even his beloved Olivia was looking at him with fear, as if she was staring at some lunatic rather than her loving father. Immediately, his mind cleared and he stopped his attack, wanting to rectify things.

However, just because he wanted to stop, they would stop? Did the world revolve around his balls and whims?

Shuangtian struck Neptune in the gut with her fist coated with brownish Barbarian Empress Energy that sent Neptune flying like a rocket, crashing through many buildings and killing even more innocent mermen and women in the process.

He spat out a thick mouthful of blood and became dispirited, looking weak and frail. The Golden Trident in his hand flew away and was dragged unwillingly into the grip of Draco.

The spirit within screamed and roared in rejection, but all Draco did was sent a wave of Psychic Energy shaped like a giant fist within, and the spirit was punched to near death status.

"No! Papaaa!!" Olivia cried out in worry, trying to rush to her father but the back of her head was ruthlessly slapped by Eva, making her feel dizzy.

"Stay where you are or I'll blow your little head off, princess." Eva threatened mockingly.

Olivia barely regained her senses and glared at Eva by turning her head partially backwards.

"You… how can you be so beautiful yet so evil?" Olivia asked in a half crying, half angry and aggrieved tone.

"Because he likes it." Eva replied simply as he pointed to Draco who was floating above them.

Olivia looked over and saw that Draco was gazing at Eva with an intoxicated expression, a tent forming in his pants. Olivia was left speechless as she realized that there was something fundamentally wrong with all these people.

King Neptune weakly escaped the rubble and swam towards the core members group, his eyes on Olivia. Sighing with relief when he saw she was safe, he bottled up his emotions and displayed a cold smile.

"May I ask what the meaning of this is?"

"You can ask." Draco answered half-heatedly before focusing on the Golden trident once more.

King Neptune's face changed and he wanted to question Draco some more, but Shuangtian appeared behind him and slapped him on the back. The slap caused an explosive shockwave, but didn't send Neptune flying, as Shuangtian had intentionally controlled her strength.

As Neptune spat out another mouthful of blood, Shuangtian spoke coldly.

"When speaking to my beloved Draco, you speak with respect, do you understand?"
