[Player Kim YuWon has passed the test.]

That was the message that appeared on the test examiner player kit.

For Theseus, who had been waiting for a long time, the message was like a lightning bolt out the blue.

He passed?

His gaze shook slightly. He even checked again to see if he had seen something wrong, but it wasnt an illusion.

Something happen?

Suhtahr didnt miss the slight change in Theseuss expression.

Looks like something didnt go like you wanted?

What damned

Before Theseus could swear, he stopped as he noticed Suhtahr had turned his head to the side.

?

Theseuss gaze also turned in the direction that Suhtahrs had. It was in the direction of the ocean where the Sea Turtle was.

Shwooo

The Sea Turtles head dropped, and Theseus doubted his eyes again. He had definitely confirmed the contents of the message just now, but seeing it with his own two eyes, he couldnt believe reality.

Pang!

The head of the Sea Turtle falling into the ocean created a great tsunami, and the sea water that shot upwards fell back down like rain.

Tshuu

The rain soaked Theseuss hair, and the cold water awoke him from his daze. He felt as if he had just barely returned to reality.

A 20th Floor player actually defeated

Just how many monsters must have been inside the body of the Sea Turtle? He couldnt even begin to guess. There were probably thousands, no, tens of thousands in there.

To find the Divine Sea Crystal inside the body of such a beast, was it really possible?

Thats a test that not even Rankers are able to pass.

He had naturally thought that even if Kim YuWon was incredible, he wouldnt be able to pass this test. That was why Theseus thought to make his move after YuWon failed the test. If he interfered at that point, the Administrators wouldnt interfere with him either. However

Damn it.

Crunch

Theseus shouted, Find Kim YuWon!

Yes, sir!

Suhtahr didnt stay still either.

Stop them!

Yes!

The Rankers from both the Giants and Olympus moved at once. As the Rankers from the Giants moved to stop him, Theseus glared at them in rage.

If you dont move aside now, history will repeat itself, he said.

If we move now, it will again be our defeat, Suhtahr replied.

Are you saying you dont care if the Gigantomachy occurs again?

Wasnt this in preparation for that? Dont even think that such a threat will work on us.

Suhtahr unsheathed his blade, the sword burning furiously with the fire that represented one of the highest-ranked High-Rankers and the person at the center of the great disaster Ragnark, Surtr.

Lets put an end to this here, Theseus.

Fwoosh

The surrounding air became boiling in an instant. The sky turned crimson, and the ground that was cold from the rain became hot. The world started to heat up from Suhtahrs Arcane Power.

Hes serious.

Theseus suddenly thought back to the Gigantomachy. He had clashed against Suhtahr three times, but they could never finish the fight. Because the Giants were always on the losing side, Suhtahr couldnt continue and would choose to retreat.

However, Thesues knew that the results of all those fights would have been in his loss. If he fought to the end, he wasnt confident he could defeat Suhtahr.

Suhtahr.

?

History is repeating and unchanging.

A crooked smile appeared on Theseuss face.

And in that instant

Bubble, bubble

The center of the ocean started to boil.

Suhtahr, having had an ill-fated relationship with Olympus for a long time, remembered this scene like it was yesterday.

No way

Psshk!

A huge chariot flew up from under the ocean. It was thickly covered with gold. This chariot that wielded a fire as hot as Suhtahrs was definitely much smaller than what he remembered, but he clearly recognised it.

The Sun Chariot

Its a mass-produced replica, but it looks like you remember.

It was a copy of the Sun Chariot that Apollo rode around on.

The Sun Chariot that shot upwards without a horse pulling it stopped in the sky. Then the doors of the Chariot opened, and ten Rankers stepped out of it.

Rumble

What theWhy is it like this here?

Hot damn, the weathers hot.

Its because of that guy.

No way, is that Surtr?

No, its not Surtr.

Its understandable that youre confused. The children of that guy all look pretty similar.

But he definitely changed a lot after becoming a demon.

How so?

He became more icky.

The Rankers that got out of the Sun Chariot started to talk amongst themselves after seeing Suhtahr. They were the Rankers on the side of Poseidon who came after receiving a call from Theseus.

Hows this?

Theseus looked upon Suhtahr and the Giant Rankers that came with him and even the young Giants that were hiding behind them.

Didnt I say history repeats itself?

Theseus, you bastard

Crack

Suhtahr ground his teeth.

History repeats itself.

He had heard that phrase from Theseus a disgusting amount of times. He said it in the final fight in the Gigantomachy. After not being able to overcome the difference in numbers, Suhtahr could always only choose to take his other Giant comrades and flee, and that phrase said by Theseus also echoed an untold number of times in his dreams as well.

Arent you ashamed as a son of Poseidon?!

When did bastards like you ever take pride in my father? Dont make me laugh.

Theseus finally lifted his trident after becoming a bit more relaxed.

While gripping his burning blade, Suhtahr glared at the Rankers who stepped off the Sun Chariot.

There were exactly ten of them. As Rankers of Olympus, all of them were pretty powerful. Even if none of them were High-Rankers on par with Theseus, the other Giants wouldnt be a match for them.

On top of that, Suhtahr was sure that he was caught by Theseus as well.

So again, in the end

It was then

Gyaaaaaah!

A monstrous screech was heard from the direction of the Sea Turtles corpse. It was the screams of the sea monsters.

How noisy.

Is it the Sea Snakes?

I do see them the most, but thats not all.

I see an Aqua Dragon as well.

It wasnt too unusual of a situation. Since there was a fight near the ocean, and the ocean had warmed up considerably because of Suhtahr and the Sun Chariot, it wasnt strange to have drawn the attention of the monsters.

There was no need to be alarmed. In the end, they were only monsters that appeared on the 20th Floor. Even if dozens or hundreds of Sea Snakes attacked a single Ranker, it wouldnt be a difficult task for the Ranker.

However

Am I seeing it wrong right now?

Why are there so many of them?

Are those all Sea Snakes?

The story changed if the number wasnt in dozens or hundreds but in the thousands and tens of thousands.

Shwoooosh

It looked like a tidal wave as the number grew larger and larger.

A black wave of Sea Snakes was quickly approaching them.

Inside, there was an occasional Aqua Dragon, Lightning Eel, Angler Fish, Sea Mantis, and other such common monsters mixed in between. On top of that

Wh-Whats that?

Leviathan! Its Leviathan!

What? Really?

What the hell? Whats going on here?

Leviathan. It was a monster that only appeared a few times in the entirety of the 20th Floor. Normally, it was an entity that was seen on much higher floors, and yet a monster that could be a named boss-rank on the 20th Floor had appeared in a mess like this.

This was a disaster, a disaster that had never happened before.

There was no way these monsters that would kill and be killed by each other would move in unison like this.

No way

Theseus recalled a legend.

The one who finds the Stone of the Sea will become the god of the sea.

It was a legend that had been passed down for a very long time.

When he first heard this, Theseus had snorted. Wasnt it just an item in the end? No matter how impressive an item was, there was no way one could achieve a level of power befitting that of a god. He had treated it as nonse.

But

It was true.

The power to rule over everything in the ocean. That was truly none other than the power of the god of the sea.

A flash of greed passed through Theseuss eyes. He finally understood a little more why Poseidon had searched for the Stone so much. Most legends were nonsensical, but this one had been an exception.

Gyaaaaaah!

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

A huge snake thrashed against the ocean and flew up into the clouds.

The Leviathan that was also called the Imoogi* of the Sea wasnt lacking itself in any way to be called the ruler of the sea.

*PR/N: An imoogi is a proto-dragon, a great, hornless lizard comparable to a sea serpent from Korean mythology.

This was Theseuss first time facing it, and he completely understood that even if he didnt have the penalty, he wasnt fully confident he could hunt that beast.

It was then

Shwaaaaa

The ocean split in two, and through the middle, someone could be seen leisurely walking out.

I apologize for saying this while everyone is working hard

Step

But as you can see, Im quite tired right now.

YuWons visage that was drenched half in salt water and half in blood was quite amusing. His entire body from his hair to his toes had been drenched, and he looked like a rat dunked in water.

So Ill appreciate it if everyone pisses off.

Vwoong

A blue light leaked out between the fingers of his fist.

Theseus realized what it was, and his eyes went wide.

The Stone of the Sea.

The item that his father, Poseidon, had looked for for so long and the item that would make him Poseidons successor was right there in his hands

Let go of it!

Bzzzzt

The penalty flowed through Theseuss body. It was in reaction to raising his mana and showing hostility against YuWon, a target who wasnt a Ranker.

Shwaaa

The water pulled from the ocean started to gather under Theseuss feet, and after getting on the formed wave, Theseus swiftly glided towards YuWon.

Theseus!

The penalty that started to flow through Theseuss body wasnt normal.

He was thinking to grab the Stone from YuWon, no matter if an Administrator was watching or not.

Suhtahr tried to swing his burning blade to stop Theseus in his tracks, but that was only for an instant.

Where do you think youre going?

Block Suhtahr!

The Rankers from the Sun Chariot all came together to stop Suhtahrs path, but Suhtahr didnt hesitate as he swung his sword.

Fwoosh

The flames that enveloped the sword were as big as a house. An attack that could cleave through a small mountain was coming from Suhtahrs sword.

Move, you small fry!

Thwaack!

The fierce flame drew a single line and flew at the Rankers blocking Suhtahrs path, mangling one of their bodies in an instant.

But the difference in numbers couldnt be overcome that easily.

Bang!

Suhtahrs blade couldnt break through the defense formation of all the Rankers in the end. No matter how strong he was, he still couldnt defeat ten Rankers with a single strike.

Damn it!

Suhtahr quickly retracted his sword, but the Rankers didnt seem to have any intention of counter-attacking in the first place and solidly stood their ground.

He wouldnt be able to get through them fast enough at this rate.

Since that guy went and passed the test for me, I cant let the Stone get stolen here

Suhtahr looked over at Theseus and YuWon. And in that moment, he saw an unbelievable scene.

What?

Theseus was dropped to the floor with a dazed expression of disbelief on his face, and he saw the form of YuWon standing before Theseus, looking down on him.
