Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse Chapter 163 - The Location of the Trident

Chapter 163 - The Location of the Trident

Atlanteans and Merfolk outside the Aqua Tower had gathered in solemnity as they watched the blue light shooting out of the tower signifying something spectacular.

More [War Sharks] and other powerful creatures of the sea that had important figures riding on their backs arrived near the tower to receive the Seeker that had reached the 100th floor.

The other 5 champions still struggling in the tower were all but forgotten, with the watchers not even paying attention when one of the Atlanteans at Mythical rank descending the tower reached the 71st floor.

He was happy with the Grade 3 Golden Serum as he didnt trust himself to be strong enough to reach further below, and chose to take the rewards as his mind wondered about the grand welcome and applause he would receive after leaving the tower with the title of Seeker. This champion was bound to be disappointed as all the attention was already stolen by someone else.

The mermaid Ula was swarmed with important figures that continued to question her about the Atlantean she had received, wanting to know as much as they could about Noah before he came out of the tower.

This was someone that would support their goals of locating the Supreme Treasure that would guarantee their victory against the pesky vultures circling above the seas. What type of being was he?

Meanwhile, on the last floor of the Aqua Tower, a story continued to be told from an ancient Merman to an Atlantean whose body shone with gold light.

"The World Engine was something that took the entirety of the resources of all the regions of the sea we commanded. But we were successful in creating it, and we gained the capability to affect the whole world."

The transparent strand of consciousness that was King Neptune continued with a serious tone as he divulged secrets very few were privy to.

"Through communicating with the will of the world, we gained its cooperation as our creation that was the World Engine was powered up by the World itself to allow for the displacement and masking."

"This only gave us a momentary period of peace though, as our enemies always followed us where we went. Their forces were not powerful enough to penetrate the defenses of my city, so they were always pushed back. But this was when they resorted to schemes, and I...faced my doom because of it."

"The forces of the Demon World and the World of Cultivation that always worked against each other joined forces, launching pronged attacks that would have decimated many underwater cities and cause casualties in the millions. This was how they drew me out."

"I left Atlantis to go fight for the defense of those that could not defend themselves, and I paid dearly for it. The leaders of the two forces were waiting for me in ambush, with this coward in the lead."

King Neptune pointed towards the blurry image of Baal as he called this powerful ruler a coward.

"I had the trident and the sea by my side, so even with the ambush, I was able to push them back against all odds, but I was heavily injured and could not keep my life. The Ruler of Demons held terrible strength while the Cultivators used mysterious powers I hadnt come across before."

The pronged attacks from the two forces were all just to bring out the King of Atlantis, and they had succeeded.

The battle didnt end in their favor though, and even though Neptune retreated with threatening injuries that would later take his life, Baal and the forces from the World of Cultivation received heavy injuries that caused them to retreat as well. This spoke about the power this old king held when he moved fearlessly in the seas.

"The battle was fought quite a distance away from Atlantis, and I would have never been able to make it back before I succ.u.mbed to my injuries. My only option was to find a safe haven near me that would be hard for my enemies to move around."

"I could not make it back to my home to entrust the Trident of the Sea to my successor, so I could only try to hide it in a location that would later be found by my own people. Thus...the last memories I have before everything became dark and foggy, was my main body moving with the goal of hiding in a nearby danger zone that very few will know how to survive in. From the little memories this strand of consciousness could piece together, my deathbed was most likely in the Abyssal Zone."

BOOM!

It felt as if a strike of lightning passed through Noahs mind as the old king finally mentioned a possible location of the Supreme Treasure.

The Abyssal Zone.

One of the most dangerous zones in the wide seas that had terribly powerful creatures roaming freely. The Lost World had vast bodies of water, with many dangerous locations of extreme environments and powerful creatures being present. The Abyssal Zone was one of the more terrifying ones.

"This strand of consciousness only has fragmented memories of darkness as soon as the battle finished, so even I am not sure if I achieved my goal in the end. If you want to reclaim the Trident of the Sea and be able to fight back against the forces of Demons and Cultivators that have no doubt healed and returned once more, start with the Abyssal Zone."

"The defenses of Atlantis are extremely tight and should hold strong against any invasion, but if the enemies get their hands on a weapon that can control the sea, the rest of my people might just face destruction."

The strand of consciousness of the old king that remained in the Aqua Tower looked over at Noahs powerfully shining gold body as he finished his long story.

"This is information that those in the highest echelons if Atlantis should have figured out by now, but here is something else that only those that have reached the 100th floor of the Aqua Tower will be privy to."

"My main body had traveled across the many dangerous zones of the seas and saw all the dangers there. The one thing I am certain I would have done before possibly succ.u.mbing to the injuries in the Abyssal Zone, is to find an old friend to entrust the Supreme Treasure to."

Noah continued to listen to these words as his thoughts wandered. An old friend that had the Abyssal Zone as its home? His heart was pounding as he realized getting his hands on the Trident of the Sea might not be that easy.

So what was it? Who knew of the final location of the Supreme Treasure in the Abyssal Zone? What being did he have to face in the future for the possibility of obtaining this treasure?

"The one you should be paying attention to while conducting your search is someone that matched me in my prime and gained my respect. One of the calamities of the sea, The Kraken."
