Facing such a fierce onslaught, the people on the ship could already foresee their grim fate, being wiped out one by one by the relentless attacks.
Suddenly, time seemed to freeze, and a sharp, piercing cry echoed across the sky.
The once clear blue quickly darkened as heavy clouds rolled in, changing the weather in an instant.
Soon, a fierce storm broke out, with rain pouring down in thick sheets.
Amidst the storm, a column of blue light shot up into the sky, radiating a deep, vast aura that spread outward like the endless sea, centered above the ship.
Far away, at the edge of the Dark Continent, the gatekeeper and his guide lived in a massive house.
Suddenly, the gatekeeper's huge eyes snapped open, filled with horror, his body trembling.
He had just sensed an overwhelming tide of aura, so strong it almost felt suffocating.
This aura wasn't just powerful; it was immense, like the vast ocean itself.
'Could it be some mighty sea beast had appeared in the unknown sea?'
That didn't add up.
He knew the area well, it was just Lake Mobius.
At most, the creatures there were about his strength.
Given the resources in that sea, no sea beast could grow this powerful.
"So... is this the aura of an alien being?" he whispered.
For some reason, the thought of a human with extraordinary power suddenly crossed his mind.
Meanwhile, in the back of the unknown sea, the surrounding waters began to swell dramatically.
Anyone with a god-like perspective would notice the water level rising in Lake Mobius, swallowing more and more of the nearby land.
"Come out, Kyogre!" Larry called out in a low voice.
Suddenly, a ripple of space opened above the ship, and a deep blue figure appeared, floating calmly.
With indifferent eyes, Kyogre looked down on the sea beasts around it, seeing them as insignificant.
As the true ruler of the ocean, nothing else mattered to it.
In the next moment, Kyogre was bathed in a dazzling light, ready to assert its dominance.
It goes without saying that any sea beasts daring enough to attack must be punished, for this is the domain of the ocean god!
A surge of deep blue aura suddenly shot up into the sky, causing countless sea creatures to freeze in place.
Instinctively, they lowered themselves to the ground, showing reverence to Kyogre.
At that moment, it was as if they had witnessed a deity, the god of the ocean himself!
The previously gloomy sky was now tinged with a rich azure glow, radiating from the powerful aura.
Kyogre's presence alone was enough to cause devastation with even a casual attack, and its ability to recover aura was incredibly fast, so fast, in fact, that it usually regenerated aura quicker than it could be spent.
Kyogre explained to Larry that while underwater, its aura supply was practically limitless.
In other words, unless an opponent was significantly stronger, their aura consumption would outpace their recovery, making Kyogre unbeatable in the sea.
Larry guessed that even on the Dark Continent, few could rival Kyogre, let alone surpass it.
Suddenly, the lines across Kyogre's body glowed brighter and brighter, and the rainstorm above grew more intense.
The nearby ocean waters shimmered with a mystical light and seemed to come alive, buzzing with excitement as if countless sea creatures were welcoming their god.
This was the true power of Kyogre, the creator of the ocean, embodying the very essence of the sea.
Watching this awe-inspiring sight, they swallowed hard and muttered in disbelief, "We... don't have to die, do we?!"
Lilith, overwhelmed and stunned, nodded slowly, her mind struggling to process the overwhelming scene.
It seemed they were saved after all.
Meanwhile, all eyes were on Kyogre, who stood imposingly above the sea monsters near the ship.
Those creatures, who had previously ignored the humans, now cowered and crawled in submission, united by one common feeling: fear.
They were terrified of the being towering above them, the god of the ocean himself.
The source of that sudden appearance was clear to everyone now.
For a moment, all eyes turned back to Larry, but the hope they once held quickly shifted to shock.
"Is that also your Nen beast?!" Beyond was the first to speak, his face twitching slightly with surprise, making his usually fierce expression almost comical.
Larry hadn't spoken loudly, but his words were clearly heard by everyone.
Right after he finished, the mysterious creature appeared above them, stunning even the sea monsters.
It was obvious, this, too, was Larry's Nen beast!
No one had expected it.
Ging glanced up at the massive Kyogre looming overhead, then back at Larry, who remained calm throughout.
The shock settled in his chest like a powerful wave, sweeping through the entire area.
Until now, Ging had assumed Larry would summon the same two beasts he had used against the Ant King.
But instead, Larry released new creatures, and these were on a whole different level, far stronger than anything he'd seen before.
The difference in strength was so great that Ging couldn't even fully grasp how powerful Larry's killer whale-like beast was.
All he knew was that it surpassed every beast Larry had shown before, making it the strongest creature he'd ever encountered.
Compared to this beast's power, the sea monsters that ruled the unknown sea seemed like mere ants.
Even if they banded together, they were no match for this formidable presence.
What struck Ging even more was the strange connection this Nen beast had with water, or perhaps the ocean itself.
As it appeared, the clear sky darkened suddenly, heavy rain began to fall, and the sea grew restless, churning wildly as if responding to the beast's presence.
Its spirit radiated a depth and vastness reminiscent of the ocean itself.
All the signs pointed to a deep bond between this Nen beast and the sea.
Looking up at the creature, realization dawned on Ging, and his eyes lit up with understanding.
He finally knew how to describe this Nen beast.
It was like a god of the ocean.
Though the idea felt strange, Ging couldn't shake the profound feeling it stirred within him.
What Ging didn't realize was that this power was the divine presence of Kyogre, the god of the ocean.
The old man was right, Larry was hiding far more than what appeared on the surface.
Ging sighed inwardly, recalling Netero's earlier words: no matter how much he had overestimated Larry, he had still underestimated him.
The strongest in the world truly deserved that title, this "world" probably meant the entire planet.
As everyone around him stared with a mix of shock, surprise, and awe, Larry smiled and said, "Yes, this is my Nen beast."
Hearing Larry's clear confirmation, those who had been doubtful relaxed at last.
Beyond realized one thing: he had still underestimated the person he had trusted.
But while the people on the boat were excited, the countless sea monsters surrounding them felt the opposite.
