Chapter 1071: Chapter 453: Turning Rivers Upside Down
âRoarâââ
There was no communication, only confrontation.
Outside Heraâs garden, the hundred-headed dragon roared furiously at the sky.
Black storm clouds rose from the sea, and the shackles that once bound it were undone.
Inside the garden, the sweet smiles of the sea nymphs and Nymphs turned to terror in an instant.
They were the servants ordered by Hera to guard the garden and gather the holy fruit, respected by all gods for the sake of the Heavenly Empress.
But in this moment, the sky was overshadowed by a massive figure, and the demon subdued by Zeus here broke free from its cage.
The gods might care about Hera, but Ladon did not care about deities.
If it were to free itself, these few would undoubtedly die!
Boomââ!
No one cared about their fear, a bronze club shattered the storm and struck Ladonâs dragon head.
In an instant, the black scales cracked inch by inch, and its tough bones made a grinding sound.
Panged with pain, other than Zeus, this was the first existence in the Mortal Realm to truly harm it.
But Heraclesâ attack only fueled its ferocity, the remaining ninety-nine dragon heads roared to the sky, and Ladonâs mouth spewed endless black fire.
The sight of the small figure in the sky with all those âornamentsâ made the great demon rage uncontrollably.
âRoarââHuman!â
âYou killed them?â
Its anger turned into tangible flames, joy and sorrow intertwined in Ladonâs heart.
It inherited Typhonâs fury, grieving for its kinâs death; yet as Typhonâs progeny, it also felt joy in their death.
Because now that they were deadâŠ
âIf I devour you, I will become the new Demon King!â
No, not just the Demon Lord, but the Hundred-headed Dragon King!
It would surely awaken all demons of the Four Seas, and eventually, slaughter all deities on Earth, tracing the ridges of Mount Olympus!
Whooshââ
With its wings spread wide, unbound by the power of Zeus, Ladon soared.
It was a dragon, not a guard dog.
Now that the entire Four Seas were its domain, it could unleash even greater strength here.
Boomââ
Blocking the flames with a lion skin, dispersing the black clouds with a bronze club.
Seeing the fully revealed fierce hundred-headed dragon, Heraclesâs heart was calm.
Even in a few short exchanges, he had already determined that Ladon was no match for him; with the Sky Titanâs help, he now had divine power surpassing it.
âSo from now on, you are merely a whetstone for me.â
Spinning the club in a dazzling display, the weight of the sky caused space to slightly collapse.
Stepping forward, the great hero didnât speak, only shattered the heads of the hundred-headed dragon, one after another.
······
The sun rose and set, the moon set and rose again.
Unlike previous battles, this time, the clash between Heracles and the demon did not shake the earth, yet it was enough to churn the sea.
Sunrise and sunset, moonset and moonrise.
Ladonâs combat strength was truly exceptional. It was Typhonâs offspring with the greatest raw power, even more so after breaking free from the lawâs suppression.
One head was crushed, another grew back shortly after.
A broken neck would result in a fallen head turning into a new gigantic dragon, continuing the fight in the Four Seas.
Thus, the ocean trembled, the currents redirected.
Under the impact of âsky,â the influence of âsea,â and the upheaval of âearth,â came hail, hurricanes, tsunamis, and earthquakes.
Whether above or beneath the sea, disasters occurred at every moment.
No one felt surprised; this seemed like the inevitable result of the Heavenly Pillar shaking the sea.
But they all failed to notice, the forces hidden under these natural disasters, constantly pushing forward.
âŠ
In the East Sea, within the old Divine Palace of the Primordial Sea God.
The turmoil outside seemed unable to affect it, the tides from all directions naturally stilled here.
For this was the beginning of water, the source of the sea.
The concavity of the earth was its original form, even thoughâŠ
