Nathan obviously had reasons to send them forward. The first objective was, as Amphitrite predicted, to measure her strength. After all, Nathan could make a more accurate plan if he had that information.
The second objective was to assess how the enemies were planning to move. He also wanted to know where the mature class alien was.
"Jinwu. Nidhogg. Take care of the lower level aliens. Let the soldiers conserve their stamina. We will probably find a lot more aliens coming to us soon."
Jinwu and Nidhogg nodded. Both of them flew to the north side. They were basically the vanguard if they wanted to move to the base located on their north, so they had to be as fresh as possible.
On the other hand, Sera boosted Alavenya and her lamia along with Selena and Risa. She wanted to focus on these four, believing they could finish their battles the quickest.
As soon as the mature class aliens came close enough, Selena was the first one to open the battle. She used her sweeping force with three 'Concentration,' causing an explosion and forming a tall wave of soil.
However, a mature class alien pounced on this wave and crushed it with a slap of its tail. It then stomped the ground as if it was trying to flatten it.
Before this mature class alien could do something else, Yin Zhen leaped into the air and kicked this alien in the face.
The power of that kick knocked the alien's body to the ground, albeit Yin Zhen noticed that the latter wasn't actually injured.
The area he kicked earlier didn't even have a scratch. "Hmm… that skin is tough, but it doesn't matter."
He just went straight to the alien, believing that the alien would just be destroyed if he gave a few more kicks.
On the other hand, Risa leaped into the air, avoiding a punch from the mature class alien. The rest of the aliens followed her, trying to drag her down. However, Risa produced blood bats and let them explode on the aliens, blasting them back to the ground or killing them.
After that, she used their blood to create a golem to wreak havoc on the battlefield.
Still, the one that piqued Nathan's attention the most was Amphitrite. She had been a mystery to him.
While she was a goddess, she was usually overshadowed by her husband. Even on Earth, he heard Poseidon more than her.
However, she was still considered the goddess of the sea while being the daughter of an ancient god, Nereus.
That was why he believed her strength was comparable to that of Jinwu and the divine beasts he had.
To his surprise, she was actually planning to get three aliens by herself, causing the beetle queen, who was supposed to block three mature class aliens, to be confused. She wanted to get one of the mature class aliens, but Amphitrite managed to stop her with a single glare.
She then raised her trident. "I call upon water."
The underground water started to surface. The aliens moved a bit awkwardly due to the water, but the next thing they realized, the water gradually turned from brown to blue like the ocean.
She then waved her staff down until it touched the water. "Arise."
The water started to form a whirlpool that somehow rose into the sky like a waterspout. They gradually formed a humanoid body, similar to Selena's avatar.
"!!!" Nathan couldn't help but blink his eyes a few times. "That's… elemental?"
She formed two huge avatars with her control alone. These two immediately moved to their respective mature class alien.
One of the mature class aliens charged first and punched the elemental, but his fist just went through the elemental's body.
The mature class alien wanted to get away, but the water that built up its body was actually like a whirlpool, sucking him in and refusing to let go.
After that, the elemental slapped the mature class alien with both hands. The water splashed like how water should react upon hitting a hard surface. However, this splash carried such tremendous strength that it felt like it had the power of a mini tsunami.
The strength caused the alien's body to tremble. In addition, the splash water fell to the ground and waved around like an ocean wave. They rose again like the real tsunami and swept the lower level aliens.
Some giant aliens tried to hinder her. They were led by the third mature class alien.
Amphitrite looked at it without a change of expression.
"Go away!" When she swung her trident, a huge water ball formed in front of her. This water ball flew toward the mature class alien.
After seeing what happened to the other two mature class aliens that fought her elementals, the third mature class alien chose to toss trees to this water ball with enough force to destroy it.
However, Amphitrite simply snapped her finger as the water ball changed its shape to a dolphin.
The dolphin slapped the tree with its fins before changing its form once again. This time, the water turned into a massive shark.
"!!!" The alien had to take a step back to avoid it. The water then splashed on the ground and swept away all the aliens around it.
Unfortunately for the alien, Amphitrite's attack had yet to stop. The raging water gradually turned into an octopus and held the alien's body.
The alien wanted to get away, but Amphitrite, who looked like a magician and would attack the enemy from afar, had already reached the alien. She stabbed the alien with her trident and pierced through its skin.
It looked like the alien was stung by a small needle if they had to compare Amphtrite's size to the alien's. But the trident actually carried a massive amount of water inside it, which burst out the moment it pierced through the alien's skin.
"Gaaaooohh!" The alien spat water from its mouth like a waterfall. Even the wound was enlarged due to the amount of water inside its body. In fact, the alien's stomach was bloating after being filled up with the water.
Nathan was stunned. This was Amphitrite's… No, the Goddess of the Sea's strength.
