Chapter 445: Deep Sea Snake Monster

Donald’s Divine Ministry of Nature Protection was actually closely related to the Divine Ministry of Divine Retribution, which would arise from the will of natural wrath. To some extent, nature protection encompassed aspects of divine retribution, though their manifestations differed. Since both stemmed from the laws governed by the will of nature, combining them could unleash even greater power.

With his divine ministry successfully formed and experience in harnessing natural wrath, Donald quickly separated some of the power from this ministry and infused it into the prepared artifact embryo.

He chose the ministry of divine retribution because it was the most suitable for offense among the four major ministries he possessed. “The Summoner is a vocational ministry; although it deals with powerful laws like space, it focuses on summoning and interdimensional travel, making it unsuitable for direct combat. Besides, I already have the Book of Truth and the Gate of Indeterminacy—adding another artifact related to summoning and transportation would be redundant!”

“As for the Divine Ministry of Demon Hunter, it does have strong offensive capabilities, but they are primarily directed at demons and other chaotic, evil creatures from the abyss. This time, we’re dealing with a sea lord, so its relevance is much lower.”

“Nature Protection is the strongest among my major ministries, but since it’s named that way, it mainly focuses on defense and purifying harmful elements in nature. It’s not immediately useful for this mission.”

With the laws at his disposal and the prepared artifact embryo, creating an artifact became much easier. Soon, when they reached the deep sea region where Leviathan’s domain lay, Donald’s first artifact in his life was completed.

The artifact took the form of a long spear, with a wooden shaft adorned with patterns of storms, lightning, fire, and floods. Tender branches and green leaves surrounded it, giving it a bronze-like metallic appearance. The main material used was a branch from the Tree of Life. Additionally, the energy-emitting crystal found in the first family’s treasure vault in Scorpion Tail City—after the Book of Truth absorbed its energy—also served as an excellent material for crafting the artifact. Other supplementary materials such as dragon bones, pure gold, silver, and magic crystals were added to enhance the artifact’s durability and stability in dealing with various energies and elements.

The material ratios for this artifact were carefully calculated by the Book of Truth, a high-level artifact, to optimize its performance and fully unleash the power of its divine ministry.

The new divine weapon was still named “Wrath of Nature” by Donald. Any being struck by this mighty spear would face the most powerful retaliation of nature’s forces, especially those unwelcome in the main world.
“Ahead lies Leviathan’s domain. This serpent monster, just like its leader Octopus, often sleeps for hundreds of years at a time and rarely appears elsewhere except when hunting—it’s the perfect target for us! My Lord Donald, shall we assign combat tasks now?”
Bassedo said excitedly. As a sea god who had only been deified ten years ago, he wasn’t very powerful and was constrained by various demi-gods and legendary sea lords in the deep seas. He controlled only the shallow waters of the Storm Sea in the southeast of the continent in the main world’s major seas, leaving him with little strength to spare for the conflicts among the gods. This fact particularly disappointed the Lord of Dawn.
Now, with the opportunity to cooperate with Donald to eliminate a sea lord—especially the most troublesome deep-sea serpent monster, Leviathan—Bassedo was naturally overjoyed.
Donald smiled upon hearing this and said, “There’s no need for plans. To deal with such a being, we just need to overwhelm it with absolute strength. A surprise attack won’t work in this situation, right?”
With a divine weapon in his hands, Donald’s strength had soared, giving him confidence in his speech. He no longer had to, like before as a mortal, seek other ways to win or survive against powerful enemies!
So Bassedo said nothing more and led the way into the sea, with Donald following closely behind.
When the two true gods entered a sea lord’s domain, it was as if they had entered another true god’s realm—like two blazing bonfires in the darkness; it was impossible not to be noticed by the lord.
“Grrr…”
A deep roar came from the depths of the sea as Leviathan’s massive body stirred the vast expanse of water, creating whirlpools on the seabed. Clearly, this sea lord was furious to be awakened from its slumber.
Even though neither the underwater nor the aerial environment posed any disadvantage to the two true gods, they were still stunned by Leviathan’s size.
This newly awakened deep-sea serpent monster stretched out its furious, giant serpent body. The section from its head to its neck alone was thousands of feet long and as thick as a skyscraper. Just imagine how enormous its entire body must be!

Bardotho only had some understanding of Leviathan from descriptions in the memories of other oceanic lords; in reality, he had never seen this deep-sea serpent monster in person. Clearly, this powerful oceanic lord was at least several times larger than what he knew. In comparison, creatures like whales and sharks from his past life, as well as dragons in this world, appeared extremely small. Moreover, it was said that Leviathan was not even the largest among the semi-divine oceanic lords among the deep-sea monsters—what would the so-called giant deep-sea monster Octopus look like, with such lesser beings already of such size? Donald couldn’t even imagine it. However, both of them were powerful gods, and after a brief moment of surprise, they quickly regained their composure. Bardotho immediately shed his normal human form and revealed his true divine essence—a 30-foot-tall giant who swung a punch filled with endless water flow and brilliance at Leviathan’s neck. Yet, compared to the massive serpent monster before him, the 30-foot-tall giant was like the difference between an adult and a mouse, appearing utterly insignificant. But the strength of a true divine being wasn’t measured by size alone. Faced with the powerful attack from a true divine entity, even Leviathan, who originally had low intelligence and had just been awakened from sleep, his mind somewhat confused, instinctively sensed the threat. His originally angry head instantly turned, opening a terrifying maw large enough to swallow a small town as it aimed at the attacking true god. “Be careful!” Although he knew that Lord Bardotho, the sea god, wouldn’t be killed by such a bite, Donald couldn’t help but warn him. At the same time, he raised his bronze spear, which emitted a green glow, and aimed its tip at the obvious target on the seabed ahead!
