Chapter 335 Atlantis (Part 1)
The Mariana Islands are located on the border of the Philippines, adjacent to the US coastal defense line, and are therefore US territory.
Tourism is booming here, and the GDP per capita is not low, even exceeding that of many European countries.
Up to 38% of the population lives below the federal poverty line, and the unemployment rate rises year after year, perfectly "imitating" the wealth gap in Little Phillip Country.
Outlaws from all over the world, especially from Asia, flock here to smuggle themselves out.
Those who are lucky enough to find refuge with local bigwigs, and those who are unlucky enough to eke out a living on the streets.
Chaos and decadence are the defining characteristics of this place.
Residents' sense of belonging to the country is as thin as a cicada's wing.
This is a paradise for the rich and a hell for the poor.
On the beach, tourists sunbathing suddenly looked up, their faces filled with confusion. Just moments ago, the weather was fine and sunny, so why were dark clouds suddenly gathering?
The downpour came without warning. Tourists rushed to nearby restaurants and cafes for shelter.
Just then, they witnessed a scene they would never forget.
A beam of purple light cleaved through the dark clouds and shot straight into the sea.
Immediately afterwards, the entire ocean seemed to boil and surge.
Something is slowly rising from the seabed.
888 8 88
Over the sky.
Jiang Chaosheng sat upright on the throne of dark clouds, with Xia Li sitting beside him.
Although Shirley has wings and can fly, she cannot fly to such a height.
The violent air currents alone were enough to overturn her.
Jiang Chaosheng looked down at the sea from the clouds.
The sea was calm, with occasional swells, but nothing unusual.
He wandered around the locations marked on Xia Li's map for a long time without noticing a single fluctuation of spiritual energy.
He pondered for a moment, and then slowly opened the third eye on his forehead.
The world I saw suddenly changed.
At one of the coordinates, a strong blue spiritual energy fluctuation was surging.
Beneath the surface of the sea, there seems to be an extremely powerful restriction.
right here.
A purple beam of light shot out from the third eye.
The Ghostly Deception Eye is specifically designed to counter restrictions, illusions, and all forms of deception.
The sea was enraged.
The waves are surging, something is about to emerge.
Shirley stared at the sea in horror.
A city is emerging from the seabed.
The dark rooftops were the first to rise above the water, covered with seaweed and barnacles.
As the entire city was lifted upwards, the seawater poured out of the streets.
A magnificent ancient city, laid bare between heaven and earth.
In the city stands an extremely tall trident-shaped stone statue, on which is inscribed a line of Xia Kingdom characters—Atlantis.
Shirley swallowed hard, incredulous. "This...this is the Gates of Hell?"
Jiang Chaosheng did not answer, but simply stared at the legendary city that had sunk to the bottom of the sea.
In the city, countless residents are busy with their work in an orderly manner.
They were covered in moss, some had octopus heads, and others had human bodies and fish tails.
Several sea people squatted in front of a pile of pebbles and seabed trash, hawking their wares to the bustling crowd.
Several other fishermen carefully selected items at the stall, exchanging seashells for a Coca-Cola bottle that had been soaking in seawater for a long time.
Inside a bar with a leaky roof, several people from the sea were raising their glasses in a toast.
However, the wooden wine glasses in their hands were broken and could not hold any liquid at all.
The bar owner was a fish-woman who carried a broken jug and poured "wine" for them, the liquid flowing out of the crack at the bottom of the glass.
All people living by the sea have one thing in common—numbness.
Even when he was laughing, his eyes were filled with a blank stare.
They were like a group of mechanical puppets, or rather, a group of ghosts repeating the actions they had in life.
Those "sea people" could not see the outside world at all.
Apart from Atlantis, nothing else concerns them.
Jiang Chaosheng possessed the Three Rashomon Gates; he knew that the gate to the underworld was just one door.
And outside the gates of hell stands such a mysterious city.
Clearly, this is something that guards the gates of hell.
He manipulated the dark clouds, slowly approaching Atlantis.
Suddenly, all the residents stopped moving at the same time.
Even the sea creatures who were fighting or sleeping all looked up and stared expressionlessly at the dark clouds.
That gaze pierced through the clouds, coldly fixed on Jiang Chaosheng.
Jiang Chaosheng frowned slightly.
These sea people all possess spiritual energy, but their combat strength is weak and they are far from reaching the Earth-level.
This is roughly equivalent to the level of a shareholder in World Dream.
The patrolling ocean guards were slightly stronger, each approaching the prefecture level, and some had even crossed the threshold of the prefecture level.
Jiang Chaosheng became even more cautious.
He could easily handle these small fry, of course, but the problem was—
Could something guarding the gates of hell be so weak?
Just as he drew closer to Atlantis, something awakened deep within the palace.
A chaotic, fragmented, yet terrifyingly suffocating power erupted from the palace.
A hoarse roar erupted from the palace, incoherent, like a madman imprisoned for a thousand years finally finding an outlet: "Divine trick! Divine trick! Another one!"
"It's that magic trick again! Get out! Get—out—of—them!"
Jiang Chaosheng did not back down.
A third eye was fixed on the palace.
He saw it.
Inside the palace, a burly Western man wearing a crown, shirtless, and holding a trident sat on a throne.
His eyes were murky and crazed, and a trace of saliva, which had been accumulating for who knows how long, hung from the corner of his mouth.
Jiang Chaosheng narrowed his eyes: "Who are you?"
The sound wasn't loud, but it clearly resonated throughout the entire city of Atlantis.
The burly man's expression suddenly turned ferocious, and he slammed his trident into the ground, causing the entire city to tremble: "I am Poseidon, the god of the sea! No divine being may invade my divine realm!"
Jiang Chaosheng was slightly taken aback.
Poseidon?
Is he one of the three supreme gods of Mount Olympus in legend?
As far as he knew, Poseidon should have died long ago, at the hands of Satan who had sided with the Western God.
His third eye emitted a purple light, instantly seeing through Poseidon's true nature.
This version of Saidong has no physical form, only a divine soul remains.
Moreover, this divine soul—has been imprisoned for far too long, so long that its mind has shattered, so long that only obsession and madness remain.
Satan is truly a vengeful creature—not only did he kill Poseidon, but he also enslaved his soul, condemning him to eternally guard the gates of Hell.
A thousand years of imprisonment had long since driven a high-ranking god into a mad prisoner.
Seeing that the dark clouds hadn't receded but instead moved even closer, Poseidon suddenly covered his head and staggered backward: "No—no—he wants me to guard—he wants me to guard—I can't let him get angry—no—"
His voice suddenly lowered, like a child who had done something wrong talking to himself.
But the next second, he raised his head, his eyes burning with rage, his trident pointing straight at the sky, his gaze filled with venom: "Despicable god! Depart at once!"
He slowly raised his trident, and a surge of divine power erupted within Atlantis.
Countless buildings began to collapse under this terrifying force, and the sea people were shaken to the point of staggering, yet remained expressionless, like a group of soulless puppets.
Jiang Chaosheng controlled the dark clouds, slowly moving them away from Atlantis.
He could sense that Poseidon was much stronger than Beelzebub.
Although Poseidon was insane at this moment, and only his soul remained, he still possessed power that was infinitely close to that of a high god.
Without absolute certainty, he didn't want to rashly venture into the unfamiliar land of Atlantis and fight a deadly battle with such a guy. Poseidon saw the dark clouds disperse and took out a writing brush from his pocket.
The pen's shaft was pure white, like flawless white jade. The bristles were jet black, impossibly black.
Poseidon waved his pen wildly in the air.
Strangely, those graffiti, which seemed to have no rules, carried a kind of inexplicable power.
The sea creature guards and sea creature residents all "woke up".
But instead of worshipping their god, they seemed to be under a new hypnotic spell and continued with their work.
Drinking, hawking, patrolling...
The buildings that had been shattered by divine power began to recover on their own, as if an invisible hand was mending everything.
Jiang Chaosheng squinted, staring at the pen.
This looks like a forbidden item.
However, I had no information about this forbidden object in my mind.
interesting.
It looks like there's going to be an unexpected bonus.
The current problem is:
How to defeat this mad yet powerful Poseidon, destroy Atlantis, find the Gates of Hell, and steal that pen?
"We need to find some cannon fodder to test the waters."
I need to know the specifics inside.
For example, is there only one Poseidon, or are there other gods?
What kind of place is Atlantis? Are there any other strange things inside?
Jiang Chaosheng gazed at Atlantis, lost in thought.
Cleaners are out of the question; if they get caught and can't get out, it's not worth it.
Should we call the Bureau of Abnormalities over?
Forget it, I have a good relationship with the authorities, they all listen to me, so there's no need for that.
Jiang Chaosheng suddenly remembered what Xia Li had mentioned about the "psychic world" earlier that day.
"Let those weak and restless psionicists try it?"
I don't even care if those guys die.
Firstly, they are strangers to me.
Secondly, they were all worthless superhumans.
Thirdly, isn't it said that the Seven Stars Group, the Wolf Clan, and the Onmyoji Family are hostile to the World Dream Group?
