AN UNDERSTATED DOMINANCE - Season 26 Episode 32

“Logan, I have to admit that you’re stronger than I thought. I never expected you’d push me this far,” Poseidon said.

His arms slowly spread wide, and his blue eyes glowed with murderous intent. “As a mark of respect, I will give it everything I’ve got. You’ll witness the true extent of my power.”

With a flick of his hand, he made a grabbing gesture. His trident, which had fallen to the bottom of the sea, shot back up through the water and landed firmly in his grasp.

Compared to his earlier arrogance, Poseidon now stood with a newfound seriousness. It wasn’t just Dustin’s strength that had him on edge but his terrifying potential.

At only 20, Dustin already possessed this level of strength. If he continued to grow, he would become a serious threat to the Hall of Gods. Hence, Poseidon resolved to eliminate him today.

“Watch closely,” he said.

Poseidon slowly raised his trident and gripped it like a javelin. While channeling his energy into the weapon, it pulsed with an intense blue radiance. It glowed as bright as a rising sun and illuminated the dark sea.

When the energy reached its peak, he twisted his body and hurled the trident with devastating force.

The glowing weapon shot forward like a missile, and its sheer force split the sea in its wake. Waves surged violently, and the roar of wind and thunder followed. in its path.

Dustin’s expression hardened. Without hesitation, he swung his true energy-infused sword three times in quick succession.

Three blinding arcs of sword auras shot forward. They streaked toward the incoming trident like bolts of lightning.

All three white sword auras exploded on impact but failed to slow down the trident.

Poseidon’s divine artifact trident-empowered by his transformed state and hurled with full force-possessed destructive power beyond imagination. Even after shattering all three sword auras, it kept barreling toward Dustin at an unstoppable speed.

Without hesitation, Dustin immediately raised his sword horizontally, and a barrier appeared before him.

The trident slammed into his true energy-infused sword. The sword held for less than a second before exploding into shards.

The trident plowed through and pierced Dustin’s energy armor. The impact pushed him deep into the sea with a colossal splash.

“Holy hell! That was insane.”

Warrick and the others were stunned by the unfolding scene. They had thought Dustin had the upper hand earlier, but Poseidon’s strength after his transformation was terrifying.

With just a single throw, he had sent Dustin plunging into the depths of the sea. That kind of strength was downright monstrous.

Less than three seconds later, Dustin shot back up and stood on the water’s surface. At the same time, the divine trident sliced through the waves as if it had a mind of its own and returned to Poseidon’s grasp.

“Logan, how does it feel? Now do you see the difference between us?” Poseidon sneered.

The sea was his domain. His strength was endless and inexhaustible as long as he fought near water. In the sea, he was untouchable-a true god in his element.

“Compared to earlier, your strength has gone up several notches. No wonder you’re known as the royal god. You’ve got something to back it up.” Dustin’s expression turned serious.

He rarely encountered strong enemies, but Poseidon was one of them. That last strike had already put him on edge.

Poseidon raised an eyebrow. “Judging by that tone, it sounds like you’ve got more up your sleeve.”

“Since you’ve given it your all, I won’t hold back anymore. Prepare yourself,” Dustin said. He raised his hand, made a grabbing gesture, and shouted, “Celestial Blade!”

Lightning immediately cracked across the sky, followed by a thunderous roar that shook the ground.

Everyone instinctively looked up.

From within the dark clouds, a black sword swooped down like a meteor. Wherever it passed, the clouds parted, the air warped, and a long black streak was left behind in its wake.

It looked as if the sky were being torn asunder.

The black sword streaked across the sky, then dropped straight into Dustin’s hand with deadly precision and revealed its true form.

It was a pitch-black sword that radiated a chilling, deadly light. The malevolent energy emanating from the weapon sent a shiver down everyone’s spine. 1

“Is that the Celestial Blade, ranked ninth on the Divine Weapon List? It looks extraordinary,” Warrick muttered. His eyes narrowed, and a feeling of unease crept over him.

After all this time, Dustin hadn’t even used a weapon. Now that he had the sword in hand, his strength was bound to increase.

“The sword is a fine weapon, but it’s just a tool,” Mulder said. “Winning comes down to the strength of its wielder. And don’t forget, Lord Poseidon’s trident is a divine artifact, too. It’s every bit as powerful as the Celestial Blade.”

In his opinion, Dustin, though strong, was still no match for Poseidon. The royal gods of the Hall of Gods had dominated the world for centuries. They were no pushovers.

“Poseidon, dying by my sword will be the best end you could ever hope for,” Dustin growled.

With the Celestial Blade in hand, his momentum shifted entirely. Before, he was reserved and contemplative, but now he was commanding, sharp, and showed his strength.
