NOVEL NEXT Chapter 18: Wrath of God
I was in Stultifera Navis' cabin, which was still being decorated, while Kal'tsit and Breogan were in the ship's control room.
Although we had frequent visits from the iberian princes and kings, they wanted the ship equipped with cannons.
We deliberated and although there was a bit of an argument with the royal family and us, Breogan finally relented and began adding cannons to the ship.
"Tsk, those royalty" I sat on the deck of the ship and looked at the beautiful sea of Terra with the ocean waves blowing so melodiously in my ears.
I checked my status which had too many descriptions and new shop items.

[Wrath of god, a sword move that can be done one wielding or dual wielding depending on preference.
channels your godly power and the sword will create power of Divine Retribution, a godly energy that solidifies into a powerful force capable of hurting anything, into your sword. you swing the sword forward with both hands, generating a shockwave of divine energy that ripples through the air, signaling the beginning of the attack. Next, you switches to one hand and begins a series of rapid swipes while moving forward, building up momentum with each swing. With each successive swing, the sword generate a crescent-shaped energy attack imbued with Divine Retribution, which becomes more powerful and faster as you continues to build momentum.
To further build up divine retribution energy, you channels your energy into your legs, leaping high into the air, and unleashes a barrage of rapid slashes with divine energy shots in every direction. This shower of energy slashes generates an intense field of divine retribution energy that fuels your great sword with even more power.
Once you has built up enough momentum, execute a powerful circular attack, unleashing a circular Divine Retribution that radiates from the sword's position. While spinning, you continues moving forward, creating more divine retribution energy slashes in the sword's direction.
in the air perform a series of sword slashes that create a beautiful sword dance in the sky. Each slash generates a wave of divine retribution energy that cascades down towards the ground.
To finish the attack, you channels all the momentum energy and your own energy into the sword, causing it to glow with more potent divine energy. you then slams the blade into the ground, creating a massive shockwave of divine energy that unleashes the ultimate divine punishment. The energy gathered from the blade explodes in a massive blast and unleashing a massive wave of divine retribution energy that obliterates anything caught in its path , leaving behind only destruction and devastation]
[Reminder: This moveset does not care who is a friend who is an opponent so try to use this when you are fighting alone, the impact of your Divine Retribution energy can be like tenth time power of nuclear radiation which causes intense hysteria vause of total shock pain and divine energy radiation, full body numbness when divine energy gets touched, severe bloodloss when contacted with divine energy and severe third degree burn when contacted. Use this move as a last resort or when you have the magic healing]
[Dual Inferno is a firearm move that uses a minigun, can be done in doubles or one.
Energy Buildup: Spin up the minigun to build up energy ammo. While spinning, Your agility is reduced but your accuracy increase.
Spray and Pay: when shot, Fire a quick burst of energy bullets from the minigun. The bullets are automatically targeted towards the nearest enemies, and are able to track enemies that move.
Gatling Overdrive: Charge up the minigun to enter a temporary state of overdrive that making the gun on lock on mode, You can't stop the shoot but every shot increasing the rate of fire and damage output for a short time. While in this mode, you gains increased movement speed and agility, allowing you to dodge attacks and reposition yourselves on the battlefield. This move also activates Overlock, causing the minigun to fire even faster and deal more damage.
Chain Reaction: this is passive of the bullet that you shot from minigun. Fire a series of bullets that ricochet off of enemies, hitting multiple targets at once. you can aim the minigun to cause the bullets to bounce off walls and obstacles, allowing for strategic targeting]
[Reminder : this skill can make your minigun has infinite ammo so it cost 500 million LMD to fire this for 3 second. Everytime you use this, use one liner to show them who's the rich boss]
I laughed because it was a reference to Heavy TF 2, the Chaingun appeared and I looked at this gun with a smile, Chaingun activated and i warm it out. the sound of the gun is nice to be honest.
I tried to shoot and the Chaingun's shells spun like Ghidorah Alpha Roar's sound for build up and then when I shot it made the ship tilt immediately and the sound of the double Chain gun bullets shooting was like a mix of Ghidorah bididi noises and Chaingun sound effects in Doom Eternal.
I stopped and saw a lot of Chaingun bullets underwater killing all the Seaborn down there, I need a stable place to shoot this minigun, I lost about 4 billion LMD.
All the crew members went up to the deck and saw me lying on my back looking at the sky, I pretended to be exhausted because really this ship can't stabilize the recoil of this fire power.
"What's going on?" I saw Alfonso along with the other shipmates.
"Seaborn, Almost docking our ship but luckily I spotted them. Now they are retreating, maybe we can be free from it for 2 and 3 weeks" Everyone is relieved to hear my news but I know no one knows who the culprit is making this ship tilt 45 degrees.
Just you and me God, just you and me.
We ended up finishing the Stultifera Navis ahead of schedule because I felt guilty about some of the cabin interiors being damaged due to my foolishness so I sped things up a bit even when everyone was asleep with the help of the suits and so on.
When the ship was finished we held a celebration for the Golden dreadnought iberia, a special celebration where the islander Ægir people were fully praised but made me wary that the church of the deep is looming under our shadow.
Those 5 years saw Iberia enter its Golden Age, which made Breogan even more worried about the Seaborn threat and the many Ægir who fled here.
Kal'tsit and I felt so sorry for this that on this quiet night, I felt something strange. Profound silence.
I ran out of my house and looked around Iberia where I saw Massive wave.
I immediately rushed to the battlefield but a nightmare happened, 6 leviathans appeared.
This was bad, this was really bad because the 5 Leviathans besides subsisting were Shoaling, Schooling, Whirpool, Salt, and Fresh.
Shoaling is a Jellyfish Leviathan that carries an army of jellyfish-shaped Sea monsters, then Schooling Leviathan which is none other than Horsefish which is quite agile in water then Salt Leviathan is Stoem fish and Fresh water Leviathan is wels catfish.
Last and most dangerous of all is Whirlpool Leviathan that abomination of Moray eel, Charybdis for reference.
I saw that the entire Eye of Iberia still hadn't lit up because the Profound silence hadn't started yet, seemingly waiting for something I already knew which was when these cultists destroyed this lighthouse.
The Iberian Lighthouse is guarded by the Cultist Church of the deep, making it even more challenging for me.
"Alpha" Lightning god Weapon glowed then a gold-colored drone appeared and had a blue energy core in front of me forming a diamond shape drone like Cosmic Shell drone in Destiny 2.
[You called sir?]
I rubbed my head, whose voice is this? I recalled my memories and realized that it was Bayonetta's voice and better yet, Hellena Taylor's voice, Majestic!
"Deploy Nyx Drones and subdue the Lighthouse guard" Alpha then brought up a large Hologram for me to observe and Alpha immediately made all Nyx drones fly all over the guard's place and disable them all.
I was satisfied to see Alpha's execution so clean and invisible, Perfect as always.
[All enemies have been neutralized, any other orders sir?]
"Can I call you bayonetta?" Alpha floated in front of me and then glowing like universe.
[The name has been set to Bayonetta. Greetings Mr. Valtor Ismael, I am Bayonetta ready to do the next command]
"Send Zoom drones and track potential enemies in the vast ocean, take a safe distance from the sea level height of about 5 to 10 km from the sea level" Because I don't want Bayonetta's drone to drown eaten by Seaborn then I have to estimate the height of the sea waves, if it's a Tsunami then I have to pull the Drone and Bayonetta back.
[Command executed]
The holographic screen brought up an overwhelming amount of enemy footage and conditions, but in my eyes they were all Orbs that I could suck up.
"Retract the drones and thank you for helping me, what happens if the Attack drones fall?" this was a good question for me to know more strategies in drone manipulation.
[The order was carried out, glad to have achieved your expectation, sir. The drones will perform an electro magnetic wave explosion that makes us unable to be studied or looted]
I sighed, at least my drones have no one to study them but myself.
"Have a good day Bayonetta" Bayonetta then slowly but surely disappeared back into my bracelet.
[Have a good day, sir]
But why did my heart say something was wrong until I saw the shadow of water behind me, I turned my head and saw a Tsunami that was 150 KM high.
"Motherfucker"
=======================
Kal'tsit Journal
I leaked this to Breogan about the existence of Leviathan and Breogan immediately sat down in front of me and despaired.
That was the expression I used when I heard that from Valtor's mouth, We cannot win even we try.
Breogan is looking for various solutions even I am also behind Valtor's back, I want to prove we can win without him.
Valtor helped us with the construction of Stultifera Navis but to be honest, we both used this Stultifera navis as a research site for the last weapon to eradicate the Seaborn in case Breogan or I died or Terra would be attacked by the Seaborn.
As the years passed, we did not find anything, hypotheses or even theories, even all the knowledge given by Valtor on how to counter their nature, yet we could not create a conclusion.
We were also a little selfish not to ask Valtor for help, more precisely I was the selfish one. breogan always asked me for Valtor's advice and opinions but I always lied to Breogan about opinions and suggestions that were originally my suggestions and opinions according to my expertise and all the knowledge I had.
Breogan and I finally tried the weapon, but we didn't try the effect until when we finished experimenting our ship tilted making this weapon immediately damaged without us realizing it, what went wrong? Where did it go wrong? Did fate spit on our efforts?
Accept the fate of We Many, that's what Seaborn has been saying for the past 5 years. Breogan didn't give up on this, we developed a device that took sonar references which Seaborn's Hive Mind tapped into so we could know what they were planning.
But we were too late, Seaborn, no, the Church of the deep had already done the thing I feared the most freeing five Leviathans and one dominant Leviathan, the Tsunami Leviathan who had already made preparations.
They will flatten Terra with Tsunami and the first sacrifice is Valtor, Valtor is their first priority and the cultist Church of the deep also prioritizes Valtor.
But strangely Valtor played along with them, The cultists praise and make Valtor as their honorary member of their church and Valtor is not even suspicious of anything.
I won't allow that, I've been sticking with Valtor for the past 5 years making the Church of the deep immobilized until I heard the information that little by little their plan will begin.
I'm scared, I'm panicking, I can't allow this, I'm willing to stay up all night to make sure Valtor is still by my side or see him still smiling and joking.
If he becomes stoic and never shows emotion, am I gonna cry? Am I gonna regret? Am I gonna accept the reality that he has already become the very thing that abomination? I'm afraid I'm restless and I might have lost my mind again.
Notes: There is something awkward in the lighthouse we made especially there are some mechanics that I don't understand even Breogan doesn't know this mechanic.
This mechanic can be said to be ancient, neither modern nor sophisticated, we tried to study this but our knowledge limitations were so minimal that we did not continue this but we agree that whatever the mechanic is, it has no more impact on this lighthouse.
Only one person knows this, Valtor. did you create this if it so then teach me about it.
