From God of Lies to Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 378: An Unexpected Supernatural Combat

The destruction of the Second Fleet and the complete annihilation of the port of Houston was news that could not be suppressed, because there were simply too many ships in that sea area, and because the man named Nick made absolutely no attempt to hide his actions.

Standing atop a giant octopus, he issued his warning to all of America!

"From today onward, no American warships are allowed to appear in the Caribbean Sea. Otherwise, it will be considered a declaration of war against me!"

"This sea area belongs to the gods; it is a sea area that belongs to us, the people of the Americas. You robbers from Europe are forbidden to set foot here!"

Although this live broadcast quickly vanished from America's internet, it spread remarkably wide across the dark web, South American social platforms, and even public networks!

After all, this was a massive victory for the original inhabitants against America!

Some even elevated this man named Nick to an unprecedented pedestal, as his actions were far more arrogant and destructive than those of Carl and the others!

He was even dubbed the "New Eagle of Latin America," because while he lacked the distinct features of white people, his skin tone and eyes, characteristic of the original inhabitants, were exceptionally striking!

Under this immense spotlight, the origins of his rise to power were soon unearthed.

It was utterly impossible to hide the information of someone who had suddenly become a Transcendent Being. Thus, many directly learned the reason behind his acquisition of Transcendent Power:He had boarded a Spanish fleet in Haiti as a guide, joining them in salvaging numerous items from the depths of the ocean.

These were items lost to the deep sea during the era of Spanish Colonization of this continent, a time when gold and silver were endlessly shipped back to Europe. However, in an era where everyone pursued Transcendence, they were nothing more than a trifle.

Therefore, during one of the salvage operations, the Spanish captain chose to distribute these mundane items among the crew to give them more motivation for their upcoming activities.

Sailing was a tedious endeavor. Without any additional rewards, the crew might have staged a mutiny.

Thus, using wealth, and even gold, to stimulate their senses became the undeniable choice.

It was during this reward selection that Nick picked a compass—a compass that looked like scrap, tied to a large bone that seemed to have been snagged by the ship's anchor.

It made perfect sense. Given his low status, how could he expect to receive anything valuable? Naturally, he was left with the worst of the lot.

Yet, it was this very object that caused Nick to vanish into the sea the following day. By the time he reappeared, it marked the complete destruction of America's Second Naval Fleet!

This information was leaked by someone claiming to be a member of the "Spanish expedition team," revealing the origins of this Supernatural Power to many people.

As a result, the entire world descended into even greater madness. Even the nations of Asia and Oceania, which initially had no interest in this region, began assembling their own fleets at this time, hoping to enter this sea area and claim a piece of the pie!

After all, prior to this, the legends here were treated as mere rumors. Few outsiders truly believed that there was any so-called Supernatural Opportunity in this sea area.

But now, a young man born in Haiti, orphaned at a young age, had entirely decimated an American aircraft carrier fleet simply because of a Supernatural Opportunity. The sheer deterrence and temptation of this event were unimaginable!

Nations that were already tempted now pounced on the opportunity directly, using their fleets to whip up another massive tidal wave in this sea area.

A single Supernatural Opportunity had granted an ordinary boy the ability to wipe out an entire aircraft carrier fleet. If any nation acquired such power, wouldn't they earn the right to challenge America head-on?

All nations lacking Transcendent Power began buzzing with expectation, hoping their own people could find such an artifact. Meanwhile, America could only grit its teeth and swallow its bitter blood.

Ultimately, this was the bitter fruit of their own making, turning such a Transcendent Being into their enemy. Having reigned as the World Hegemon for so many years, America had committed far too many wrongs and forged far too many enemies. Previously, those oppressed lacked the capability to retaliate and could only harbor hatred. But now, the arrival of Transcendent Power had made this nation the biggest victim of this supernatural uprising!

The extent of their suffering was so severe that seeking sympathy from the Holy See was useless. Angus certainly would not stick his neck out for this nation. After all, the damage was inflicted upon the American military, not on the faithful.

The entire world was well aware of the American military's morality; if they were dragged out and shot one by one, there probably wouldn't be a single innocent person among them.

Therefore, aside from allowing his own trade companies to continue profiting in this sea area, Golden Hair also deployed more civilian exploration teams into the region. They continued to track signs of Transcendence, attempting to find another source of Supernatural Power that they could control.

However, during this brief window of time, a sudden collision abruptly interrupted everyone's explorations.

"What do you mean... the Transcendent Being named Nick was intercepted by Nuland's fleet? Does Nuland even have that kind of capability?" Inside the White House, Golden Hair was completely astounded by the news!

He was already extremely troubled over his country's unsold soybeans, only to hear this even greater piece of shocking news.

"It is true, Your Excellency the Great Leader!" A subordinate hastily handed over the documents in his hands, fearful of being burned to ash by the sun. "Our observers saw Elton Newland confronting Nick out on the ocean! They are both manipulating the power of the sea, clashing head-on!"

"The power of the sea? Nuland's good-for-nothing nephew?" Golden Hair felt physically ill. They had all gone searching for Transcendence together. Why did the person who gained Supernatural Power on his side just up and leave, while her side actually managed to secure it?

Despite his frustration, he looked at the screen. The footage was clearly filmed from Elton's fleet, and the video prominently displayed a massive blue water giant confronting the very same colossal octopus that had annihilated the Second Fleet.

"You refused to take my words to heart, and you still dared to sail your warships here!" Nick's voice boomed, allowing Golden Hair to understand the reason behind his attack.

Sure enough, the clumsy excuses of "decommissioning" and retrofitting could not be concealed from a keen eye. To Nick, at the very least, he firmly believed these were warships!

For an eighteen-year-old youth, this was an utterly unacceptable matter. It was a trampling of his authority as a Transcendent Being. In order to protect his formidable image, he had to reduce this fleet to sunken ruins in the sea as well!

However, this young Transcendent Being could never have imagined, nor anticipated, that the man standing before him, gripping a scepter, was also a Transcendent Being who was no weaker than him!

"Great god of the ocean, ruler of the sea—Poseidon! I call upon your name, bestow upon me the authority of the seas!"

Elton waved the scepter in his hand—an artifact he had dredged up from the ocean, bearing the name and authority of Poseidon. The power to control the sea filled him with immense exhilaration, a feeling shared by Nuland, who was watching from afar in California.

In the end, they had still acquired Supernatural Power, and such an overwhelmingly mighty variant at that. It was too spectacular of a surprise!

She was also watching this battle, feeling a surge of intense excitement. Sending her own people to The South had indeed been the right choice. She was not like Golden Hair next door, who had been too hesitant to risk his own subordinates, ultimately allowing an outsider to acquire Supernatural Power.

While Nuland pondered this, the two colossal supernatural entities in front of them violently slammed into each other under everyone's watchful eyes!

"Boom!" Massive ocean waves surged outward alongside the clash of the two gargantuan creatures, barreling straight toward the fleet.

Yet, no one retreated back into the cabins under such perilous conditions. Instead, they clung desperately to the railings, terrified of missing a single second of this Supernatural Combat!

This was a true Supernatural Combat! It was a direct, head-on collision between two Transcendent Beings. Most importantly, it was a battle between their own human Transcendent Beings; it was a power that humanity itself could master...

Only Golden Hair watched the scene with deep jealousy, silently grumbling in his mind, 'I was the one who scouted the people first! I was the first to consider the supernatural matters in this region! Even my companies have been turning a smooth profit over there! So why did things turn out like this?'

'How could the officer from the Special Affairs Processing Bureau that I established just run off with that kind of Supernatural Power?'

'If he hadn't run away, wouldn't we be the ones wielding this kind of power right now?'

Scratching his head, Golden Hair thought back to Gao's words in bewilderment. 'Why did Austin leave?'

'Because he had absolutely no trust in America. This Decadent Nation made any promise seem so terribly pale and powerless!'
