Chapter 1642: Chapter 1642
Nyx wept bloody tears, which crystallized into red gems that scattered wherever she tread, glowing brilliantly. Upon touching the giants…
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
They triggered a chain reaction of explosions, forcing the giants back further.
Both were stunned as the crimson dragon advanced steadily toward Celes.
The siblings, deeply devoted to Naiad's memory, refused to relinquish her, charging Nyx to halt her advance.
Nyx responded with a surge of anger and sorrow, unleashing a shockwave of crimson and black flames that repelled them, searing their bodies.
Both cried out in agony, employing their magic to heal the excruciating burns inflicted by Nyx's flames.
"W-We can't…! We can't give up!"
"She's finally here…! Naiad!"
The siblings glowed radiantly, their Divine Auras surging to full strength. Divine spiritual runes resonated around them, shining brilliantly.
Thunder and ice erupted, shaking the entire palace and clashing against Nyx's Aura, resulting in a thunderous, explosive stalemate among the three.
Simultaneously, Oceanus and Thalassa were stunned to see their daughter's soul no longer respond as their child.
Instead, this soul… regarded them as adversaries.
"Naiad…" Thalassa murmured, her face etched with despair.
She refused to accept the truth.
"Dear… I think…" Oceanus began.
"Be silent, Oceanus…" Thalassa muttered, her expression twisting with anger, frustration, and profound sorrow. "We will… reclaim her…"
She forced a smile, her claws lunging toward Celes' soul.
A shockwave of energy repelled her hand, but she persisted.
"YOU… WILL… COME… BACK… TO… YOUR… FAMILY!"
"Thalassa, that's enough! She clearly doesn't want—"
A tremor shook the palace, sending hundreds of soldiers scattering as a group of people surged through the corridors toward the throne room.
No matter their strength—soldiers, generals, anyone—they were hurled aside, some consumed by phantasmal flames, perishing slowly.
The King and Queen heard the heart-wrenching cry of a mother.
Nia burst into the hall, gasping for breath, her eyes fixed on her son.
Pale and limp, he lay on the floor.
A spirit cradled him, with three small sprites at his side, weeping alongside the larger spirit.
"NOOO! NOOOOO! MY SON!"
Celes' mother screamed with more horror and anguish than Thalassa and Oceanus had ever expressed for their daughter.
Nia raced through the explosions caused by Brontys and Coraleia's relentless battle with Nyx.
She reached Celes as the towering Thalassa glared at her with shock and…
"Who are you?! YOU…! YOU DARE CALL HER YOUR SON?! SHE'S MY DAUGHTER!!!"
Nia recoiled as the giantess roared, her long purple hair transforming into writhing tentacles that surged toward her!
"Your… your daughter?! That's my son! Celes is my son! And you…! What…! What have you done to him?! WHY IS HE NOT BREATHING?!"
Nia's Aura erupted with every ounce of power she could muster. Her Dream Heart fused with her abilities, unleashing a thunderstorm intertwined with a windstorm, clashing against Thalassa's shadow-coated tentacles.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Explosions of darkness, thunder, and wind erupted with each attack Nia deflected. Thalassa's divinity, the Ocean's Dark Depths, manifested through her body and powers, blending darkness and water into destructive maelstroms.
Yet Nia fought to protect her son, brandishing her spear and unleashing its full dream powers. Her windstorm and thunderstorms roared, coalescing into a coiling dragon of these elements. Never before had Nia felt such intense emotions.
These emotions drove her to the brink of madness, pushing her beyond her limits.
"HOW CAN HE NOT BE MY SON WHEN I GAVE BIRTH TO HIM?! HE IS MY FLESH AND BLOOD, YOU MONSTER!!!"
Her scream reverberated with such furious intensity that her thunder and winds bellowed mightily, striking Thalassa with all her might.
The thunderstorm and windstorm dragon roared, piercing Thalassa's tentacles, destroying them, and striking her chest, piercing straight through!
Oceanus had not anticipated that a mere human could challenge his wife. Caught off guard, he cried out in disbelief as his beloved wife screamed in agony!
He roared with fury, his all-powerful divinity manifesting as a colossal pressure that forced Nia to the floor, immobilizing her.
"Unnggh! Aaahhh! C-Celes…! Celes…!"
She strained to reach her hand toward her little boy lying there…
Oceanus's entire body glowed as he cradled his wife in one arm. Thalassa, dizzy and in pain, was not dead.
"You dare…! You dare harm my wife?! The Queen of Atlantis! No matter who you are, I will not forgive this insolence! BY THE HOLY DECREE OF ATLANTIS, YOU WILL PERISH BY MY TRIDENT!"
Nia saw the massive trident descending, charged with immense divine and spiritual power, piercing her aura and…

Suddenly, Oceanus and his wife found themselves enveloped in pure, eternal darkness.
"Where… Where are we?" Thalassa wondered.
"This isn't your doing?" Oceanus asked. "…What!"
Oceanus gasped as his trident trembled. A living divine spiritual weapon of its caliber, with a soul of its own, quivered in fear.
A weapon that had slain a monstrosity like the Kraken…
"Where are we?!" Thalassa screamed. "Naiad! Where…! Where's my daughter?!"
"This place is… a Dominion?!" Oceanus wondered. "When…! How did we become trapped here?!"
The King and Queen felt fear rising, scanning the darkness…
One after another, they opened, unblinking.
Then, these red eyes began shedding black tears, a sea of black void filling the endless darkness.
"You've done it now, huh?"
"You tampered with my family."
Oceanus saw enormous tentacles emerging from the black liquid void, seizing his wife and dragging her down.
"Aaaahhh! AAAAGGGHH!"
Oceanus brandished his trident, emitting boundless light, attempting to combat the black void.
Yet it had little effect, as the red eyes gathered energy and unleashed beams of red light, bombarding his entire body.
Meanwhile, Thalassa was pulled deep into the black water, her body writhing in agony as it was slowly consumed.
"D-DEAR…! SAVE MEEEEEE!"
The King screamed in horror as Thalassa was submerged in the black void, which began devouring her powerful divine soul.
Amidst the darkness, he glimpsed her.
Something lurking within.
While grasping his wife's hand and pulling her upward, he swung his trident, hurling it into the black void, piercing it.
Azure and golden light shattered the darkness, creating cracks throughout the Dominion that had ensnared them.
Yet, to the King's dismay, the cracks he created with his weapon swiftly healed. His trident trembled in fear once more as a colossal black hand seized it, and the entity behind this emerged.
