Crete Island.
As an outpost where the land stretched toward the ocean, it witnessed the glory of the Minoan civilization, welcomed prosperity, and also experienced a crushing defeat in the war with the Kingdom of Atlantis, submerged beneath huge waves.
As time passed, the scars of war gradually faded, and the island, after a century of changes, had slowly recovered its vitality.
However, at this moment, the Sea of Okeanos, once a sworn enemy in the distance, had lost its former silence and tranquility.
Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and fierce thunderbolts snaked downward, piercing the sea's surface like sharp spears, continuously stirring the water.
The blood-red setting sun cast sinister afterglow on the sea, as if the ocean itself was bleeding. Countless fish, Sea Beasts, and those of Divine Blood lineage didn't even have the chance to scream before they were struck dead on the spot by the thunderbolts.
