Just as Poseidon sneered
A figure suddenly appeared before him.
Before he could even swing his weapon,
he felt as though something had clamped tightly onto his face.
Poseidon's entire body was hurled through the air.
He crashed violently into the seawater surrounding the arena, sending up towering waves.
Then, a voice laced with amusement rang out:
『Carl』: "A fighter like you…
If I had bothered to go all out, you'd already be dead."
The crowd inside the coliseum froze at the sound of Carl's voice.
Only now did they begin to process what had just happened.
None of them had any idea what they had just witnessed.
The fight had only just been declared underway.
The two seemed like they were still sizing each other up.
And in the very next breath, Poseidon was gone.
From the sight before them, it was obvious—
Poseidon had been struck down by Carl.
『Heimdall』: "Unbelievable! This human—whatever he did—he sent Lord Poseidon flying!"
『Heimdall』: "Too fast! This man's speed is beyond imagination!"
『Heimdall』: "In the blink of an eye, he struck down Lord Poseidon… but what of Lord Poseidon now?"
Among the gods, disbelief rippled like a storm. Official source ıs 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝙣𝙚𝙩
『A God』: "What just happened? What's going on?"
『Another God』: "Where is Lord Poseidon?"
『Another God』: "Heimdall said… that human struck him down?"
『A God』: "Don't be ridiculous! How could that be possible?"
『Another God』: "And yet… if not that, where did Lord Poseidon go?"
Ares stared, eyes wide with bewilderment.
『Ares』: "Th-this human… what did he just do? I was watching the whole time, yet I saw nothing!"
Hermes murmured softly beside him.
『Hermes』: "If Heimdall is right… then that human moved at a speed beyond comprehension. In an instant, he was in front of Lord Poseidon—then struck him down."
『Ares』: "What!? You mean you actually saw him move?"
『Hermes』: "It's only my deduction… based on what we see here."
Shiva muttered, narrowing his eyes.
『Shiva』: "That guy… feels terrifyingly strong."
『Shiva』: "To send that one flying…?"
Loki chuckled under his breath.
『Loki』: "Now this is getting interesting."
On the human side, Poseidon's sudden disappearance stunned them as well.
Even if they didn't fully understand what had occurred—
the announcer's words were more than enough.
Carl had struck down a god.
『Human Spectator』: "Incredible!"
『Human Spectator』: "He repelled a god in an instant!"
『Human Spectator』: "Lord Carl!"
The human audience erupted into thunderous cheers.
Xiaoming let out a small laugh.
『Xiaoming』: "Isn't that only natural? After all… this is Mr. Carl."
Greta could hardly believe her eyes as she stared at the arena.
『Greta』: "He actually repelled Lord Poseidon? Is Carl truly this powerful?"
『Greta』: "Lord Poseidon is said to be the most terrifying among the Twelve Olympians… and yet he fell behind in an instant!?"
Brunhilde's lips curled into a smile.
『Brunhilde』: "Of course. After all, it was I who called Mr. Carl here to fight."
『Brunhilde』: "But you should know something, Greta. The Olympians were not originally twelve."
Her mood buoyant from Carl's overwhelming show of strength, Brunhilde went on:
『Brunhilde』: "Long ago, much like the thirteen Valkyries, there were thirteen Olympian gods."
『Greta』: "Thirteen? What do you mean?"
『Brunhilde』: "One among them… was slain by Poseidon himself."
『Greta』: "What!? A god killing another god? I've never heard of such a thing! Who was it?"
『Brunhilde』: "His name was Adamas."
Zeus and Poseidon had an elder brother, Adamas.
He resented that the youngest, Zeus, had inherited the throne of the supreme god.
Thus, Adamas raised a rebellion.
He lured away heavenly gods,
led monsters in an assault on the heavens.
But Poseidon crushed him with ease.
From that moment forward, the Thirteen Olympians became the Twelve.
With a single strike, he had slain his own brother.
From then on, the gods feared Poseidon all the more.
None dared oppose him.
For he was the one god who was more like a god than any other.
Greta whispered under her breath:
『Greta』: "As expected… of Lord Poseidon."
Brunhilde let out a cold laugh.
『Brunhilde』: "And yet—even he has been struck down by Mr. Carl."
From the seawater on the arena floor, a figure erupted forth
『Poseidon』: "Wretched mortal!"
His furious roar shook the air as he burst skyward.
For the first time, he had been cast down by a human.
He who disdained even other gods
how could he possibly tolerate such humiliation from a mere mortal?
He lunged straight at Carl,
swinging his trident in a storm of relentless thrusts.
The speed was so great, the barrage resembled surging waves.
Yet when the trident tips reached within five centimeters of Carl's body,
they slammed against something invisible—like a transparent wall.
『Poseidon』: "Tch! Useless!?"
He gave a cold snort, bent his knees
and shot forward like an arrow.
His trident struck again with the force of his charge.
A heavy sound echoed.
But once again, the thrust stopped
five centimeters before Carl.
『Poseidon』: "Damn it! Is something blocking me!?"
Snarling, he leapt high into the air.
From above, he rained down strikes like thunderbolts,
his trident crashing toward Carl again and again.
But even such ferocious attacks
could not harm Carl in the slightest.
they couldn't even touch him.
Every strike stopped at that same invisible barrier, five centimeters away.
『Poseidon』: "This… this man…!"
Seeing all his attacks fail, Poseidon finally sensed something was amiss.
But retreat now? Impossible.
He poured more power into his strikes,
his speed rising ever higher.
So fast, in fact, that his afterimages encircled Carl,
forming a sphere of overlapping phantoms.
It looked as though dozens of Poseidons were attacking all at once.
not a single blow landed.
Even so, Poseidon refused to relent.
He was certain he could crush this mortal.
After all—he was a god.
But then—his movements stopped abruptly.
Not because he chose to.
A hand had seized his trident.
