At first, the water only reached their feet. But since the storm was still pouring water down in one endless barrage, the water level could only rise.
The water that only reached their feet soon reached their ankles. From there, it rose to submerge their knees. Then it reached their waist.
As the water level rose, more and more aquatic creatures were able to reach them and attack them. The size of these aquatic creatures also became bigger over time.
By the time the water level submerged, giant crocodiles could already reach them. But this was just the start. There were still sharks and whales out there waiting for the water level to rise enough for them to reach the invaders.
Thanks to the deployment of troops, the attacks of the inhabitants of the world didn't affect the outpost in any way. The undead, the ants, and the ant drones were able to stop anything from getting close. So the divine beings didn't have to do anything.
