Vampire God in the Apocalypse

Chapter 221: 218. The new king of Atlantis



The king crawled back to his trident and grabbed it before turning and looking at Jude who also glanced back at him.

A blue aura suddenly surrounded him and he stood up as if he was never fatigued.

He plunged his trident in the ground, making the entire palace freeze as the temperatures rose to dangerous levels.

The energy the king emitted pushed back the knights and even Zur moved away as he couldn't stand being close.

"To think you would have absorbed Poseidon's memories," The king mumbled and Jude furrowed his brows.

The cold seemed to do nothing to him even if he was shirtless and he gazed at the king.

"How do you know about the memories?" Jude asked and the king smiled and chuckled.

"The memories of a God is said to be the key to their power. To become the true eternal ruler of Atlantis, I have to wield the memories from his weapon!!"

The king lunged at Jude with his trident stretched forward and Jude ducked as he dodged that. He was a bit distracted, but no more.

"HOW DID YOU EVEN FIND THE TRIDENT?!!! I SPENT DECADES LOOKING FOR IT!!"

At this moment the king was going insane little by little. Ever since he became king, he knew that to have the power to retain the throne, he needed the trident of Poseidon, not the replica which he has right now.

As witches had secret spells and secrets they had to hold, so did Atlantis.

The one who wields the trident shall inherit the memories of Poseidon and become a new world God.

Where did he go wrong? Was it because he tried to kill Jide and it got the chosen one closer to his destiny?

If he has been nice to this human, would he have handed over the trident?

The king relentlessly attacked Jude and Jude was indeed shocked. Not only had the king become stronger but also faster. He was able to keep up with the king but he felt something amiss.

'Something's not right here, I have to end this quick.' Jude jumped back before swinging the trident upwards.

A pillar of ice formed from the ground and shattered. All the pieces stayed on the air and Jude's eyes glowed brightly. Explore more at m,v le,mpyr

The king was still charging towards him and Jude couldn't get the feeling of danger off of him and he spun his trident and flung it towards the king.

The king only moved to the side to evade but a large explosion happened with the impact of the trident which landed on the ground and the king was thrown to the side.

He crashed against a pillar which shattered upon impact, and the sound reached the city.

People stopped for a while to look towards the palace and they had no idea what was going on in that place.

Jude raised his hand and all the shards of ice attached to each other to form a large snake and it flew at the king with its mouth open wide.

The king was filled with dread, his chest burned badly and he didn't want to die like this. There were multiple wounds on his body, marks from Jude's trident.

It was clear that he was not match for Jude yet he didn't want to go down now.

Seeing the gigantic ice snake coming towards him he pulled out a blue gem from his waist and threw it into his mouth.

An explosion occured as the snake collided with the king and a cloud of mist formed around.

Jude stretched his hand forward and the golden trident flew back to his hand. He flew downwards and all of a sudden a large hand emerged from the mist, trying to grab Jude and he flew to the side, evading it easily.

A giant emerged from the mist and stood tall. It was twenty meters tall and looked exactly like the king but with the tail of a fish. He couldn't move from his position and then the trident In Jude's hand glowed a bright blue colour.

"Seems like you used the octilus stone. But you didn't do your research, the octilus can only use its powers when it's in water." Jude pur the trident in front of him and it suddenly let out a sound waves that rippled through the air.

"No, wait!!" The king who was an octilus waved his hand as he crawled to where Jude was.

The octilus was a creature that terrorised the atlantians in the ancient time.

There was once a war and the atlantians god blessed the people with the stone that makes them into a giant monster that dominated the ocean, a creature even stronger than the kraken when it fully matures.

It was actually a vengeful atlantian and it got revenge for every atlantian that was killed in the times when the races had a war against each other.

However, it grew bored and violent, lonely, and it attacked the atlantians of the ocean, and the king silenced it with his trident and kept the stone... And here it was.

A large tentacle broke through the illusion barrier in the sky and went towards the atlantians in the ground.

It wrapped aroundthe octilus before pulling towards him to the water. The king shouted as he was taken away by the kraken to be devoured and only one thought crossed his mind.

Where did he go wrong?

The air suddenly grew less cold and Jude landed on the ground and yawned. The king's right hand, the lady Naga looked at him and she stood up and bowed.

The seven knights too that wore different colors of armour, although injured, they all bowed down too and Jude nodded and walked towards Zur.

He picked up the replica trident of the ground and gave it to his friend.

"Wh–why are you giving me this?" Zur said as he got on his knees and bowed too.

"Oh, no need for that, you're still a friend to me," Jude said to Zur and he smiled before standing up.

"Hey, I'm going to need one more favor from you," Jude whispered into Zur's ear and he nodded.

"What is it?"

"I'm leaving soon, so I'm going to leave Atlantis in your hands," Jude said and before Zur could even say anything, a glowing mark of a blue trident appeared on his forehead and a bright light shot up from the throne.

The people of Atlantis saw the light coming from the palace and they all moved towards there as it meant something to the people.

"All of you listen up. I'm leaving Atlantis soon to the surface world to find my mother. I'm leaving Atlantis in the hands of Zur." Jude pointed to Zur and Zur fell on his knees.

"No, I can't take it, I'm not chosen one." Zur refused the right to be king and Jude turned to him.

"Then pass it on to who you deem fit."

Zur looked at Jude as he said that and he was filled with complex emotions as he thought about who to pass it on to.

"Zur, you have showed exceptional requirements to rule Atlantis. You have many ways to make it a better place, and you also have the right idea on how Atlantis should be ruled..."

"And for this, I chose you to be the next king, step up and lead your people." Jude said and then there was a large crowd of people gathering.

"What's happening?"

"The authority of the throne has been transfered."

"But who would the king transfer it to?"

"Wait! Isn't that the human that killed one of us?!!"

The people looked towards Jude with hostility and he gazed back at them, making a pressure fall upon them and they fell on their knees.

"People of Atlantis. The former king, although I don't remember his name, is gone. I was set up by the guards that excorted me by the king's command. He wanted to get rid of me to wield the power to rule Atlantis forever.

But I stopped him. You can choose to not believe me, but the authority of the king has been transfered to another Naga."

Zur stepped forward and knelt down, he was very nervous about the whole thing.

He, who was just an ordinary citizen who came from the slums is now king, it all seemed like some kind of dream to him and he didn't even know whether to cry.

"Zur, this might be overwhelming for you, but I'm going to have to be rude and ask you to accept it as it is," Jude said and Zur only stared at him.

The knights by the side and the powerful naga lady who was by the side all had complex emotions.

They didn't even know who this person in front of them was the authority of the king was handed over to him by Jude without a second thought.

"Does he know that the king would have to prove his strength to actually sit on the throne?" The naga lady mumbled and as if he heard her, Jude looked back to her and smiled and she flinched.

"Now is the time to prove your strength for the throne. It's either you submit to others, or dominate." Jude smiled and then Zur looked around him.

He saw people of Atlantis gathering even more, his eyes caught the figure of his sister and his eyes widened as he gripped the trident in his hands.
