While Adrian was busy with the Aqua Elementum and the two were undergoing evolution, the two titans were already debating on whether they should no longer be in seclusion. The unforeseen rise of the followers of the dark gods made quite a stir in the underwater world that they decided to end it early. The Titan Oceanus and the Titaness Tethys sent an oracle to their priests to deal with the followers of the dark gods.
This sudden oracle shattered the illusion that the two titans were injured as previously inferred by the others. The sudden oracle also told punishment for those that do not move which is why only the bare minimum people to manage the temple were left. The other priests started the purge of followers of the dark gods.
The sudden enthusiastic nature of the priests shocked the Scylla Kingdom and the Merfolk Kingdom but it made their lives easier. The people that were hiding as followers of the dark gods were purged from existence. The ocean and seas became chaotic not because of their usual war but due to the fact that they eradicated any known traces of the followers of the dark gods.
There should still be remnants of the followers of the dark gods that escaped but they are those that found the movement of the temple early. The hunt for the stragglers still remained as the royalty for each of the kingdoms and territory lords informed the people who their enemy is. If there is something that can unite the people then that would be a common enemy.
"It is because you hastily agreed to the seclusion without even saying an oracle. This cannot be done moving forward as the beings underwater rely on us for guidance. They rely on us and we rely on them for their faith as well." The Titaness Tethys stated as she nagged her husband.
"I know, my dear. It was very hasty of me in doing so which is why we are ending it now. My brother might have asked me to be secluded but that was on the premise that nothing happens to our domain. Since the followers of the dark gods acted, we will no longer be in seclusion. We must ensure that the ones that died during our absence will be avenged." The Titan Oceanus stated as he suddenly added another statement.
"You also made a decision, my dear. I will support you all the way from now on. I will even block the Olympians for you if they dare to stir any trouble."
"Just having you support me is everything for me. It has been such a long time but it is time for me to return to my rightful place." The Titaness Tethys stated as she no longer hid her divine power and let it shot towards the skies.
[The Titan of the Ocean Oceanus has ended his seclusion.]
[The Titaness Tethys has joined the ranks of the Gods and Goddesses of Life.]
"It seems that they have made the choice." Adrian stated with a smile as another being has been added to the ranks of the Gods and Goddesses of Life.
Adrian knows that this would be the best option for the Titaness Tethys as she was originally one in the first place. She merely stepped back due to the contraints that her husband did but now the two of them no longer played the neutral card. Adrian knows why the Titan Oceanus preferred being neutral and the Olympians also want that as well.
The Olympians are very much afraid of the Titan of the Ocean Oceanus because he is one of the most powerful beings in the world. He has full command over water that basically constitutes the world. One of the reasons the titans lost in the Titanomachy is due to him not participating. The fact that he no longer restrains himself has also put the eyes of Olympus on him.
As soon as the world message was said, a messenger from Olympus immediately went to the divine realm of the Titan Oceanus. It was clear that they wanted to check on his status as of the moment. They were now thinking that the Titan of the Ocean Oceanus is vying for control over the main world due to his sudden change in temperament.
Unfortunately for the Olympians, the Titaness Tethys has rejoined the ranks of the Gods of Life and Death. As soon as she returned, the protection granted to those granted as a God of Life and Death has been activated. The Messenger God Hermes was repelled by the divine barrier and could only enter it with the permission of the Titaness Tethys. The divine realm of the two titans became an absolute fortress.
The protection of the Titaness Tethys is also extended to her husband as long as they are inside their divine realm. This meant that no being that follows the laws of life and death could ever force themselves in their divine realms. They have absolute control over their divine realm as a result but it also meant that they now have new rules to adhere to.
They may have gotten restricted but even the Titan Oceanus knew that these restrictions were far better than being secluded. What they need was assurance to those that believe in them without being forced to hide despite them not liking any wars or fights. This was the other option that Adrian hinted at them when he talked to them and they naturally came to his conclusion as well.
"Why did the Titan Oceanus suddenly lift his seclusion? Did it have something to do with the events that transpired when they suddenly gone silent?" Altum asked.
"From what I got as intel, the purging of the followers of the dark gods has somewhat ended. Only remnants could be seen being tracked down. The two titans must have come to the conclusion that they should protect the underwater world." Renyu stated.
"You two want to help the hunt for the remnants, right?" Adrian asked as he already knew why the two were talking about it.
"You really know me so well, guild leader." Altum stated.
"Go then. I know that one of you wants to test his newfound strength while the other one wants to help her kingdom. Make sure that both of you team up so that they do not stand any chance." Adrian stated as he told them to go do what they want.
"We will bring back good news." Renyu stated as she was very eager in helping defeat the remnants of the followers of the dark gods.
[Altum has left the party.]
[Renyu has left the party.]
The two of them dove back into the ocean as they now formed a new party with just the two of them. Even though it only started with the two of them, Altum invited the other Pantheon Guild members that could traverse the water with them. Adrian only learned that they created a party that gained fame in the underwater world but that is for another time.
"Let us just hope that guy hitches it off with her. He has been telling me that he wants to find someone to enjoy his time in the game with. It is time for him to stop watching those cheesy and cliché dramas and become one in real life." Adrian stated as he chuckled.
Adrian wanted to open a rift to return back to Avalon when Kanlaon suddenly perked up from his neck. Kanlaon detected hostile presences that sped through the ocean water and it was fast moving. It did not take long for the hostile presence to be shown as a pirate ship. The only strange thing is that the pirate ship was a boat.
The pirate ship that Adrian saw was a large sea dragon monster acting as the boat while the top part is that of a large ship. Adrian would have just ignored it but he felt this familiar energy before and it is actually close to the same energy that came off the Titan of the Ocean Oceanus. The energy was not identical to that of the Titan Oceanus but similar in a sense that it was from the same kind as him.
Adrian found this strange as the Titan Oceanus was in seclusion and any that dared to sail on his oceans would be subjected to the powerful monsters that live there. The strange thing is that the sea dragon boat did not get attacked by any of the monsters that live in the ocean as if they were actively evading it.
Adrian hid in a pocket dimension to check what this is and saw the beings carried by the boat. When Adrian saw monsters that were chained up and enslaved on the sea dragon boat, he was stunned as he did not expect such a thing. The monsters in the boat were also very powerful and some had humanoid appearances which means they should be at least demigod level.
