Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal?

Chapter 957: The Daughter of the Sea

…This trident pierced through the Third Prince's shoulder without skewering him to death, yet it made him let out a scream like a slaughtered pig, wailing incessantly from his mouth.

"Ah—! Father, why…"

"The enemies are them, why are you doing this to me…"

In the Third Prince's impression, his father had always been cold and indifferent, never showing him or the First Prince a pleasant expression. As for the Second Prince, he had been imprisoned in an undersea dungeon for making a mistake, not seeing the light of day for thousands of years.

According to the First Prince, before they were born, their father had another child, a daughter.

Father gave all his love to that daughter, which is why he was so stingy with them.

As for where that daughter went, no one knew.

The Third Prince had always wanted to win Poseidon's attention and become the sole inheritor of the Sea God's Divine Position. He believed that the human Battle Masters participating in the Sea God's Divine Trial were simply a bunch of bandits, that these humans had no right to obtain the Father God's divinity.

But now, the Father God was actually helping these humans harm him.

Was he wrong?

The Third Prince looked at Poseidon's gloomy face, his eyes filled with utter desolation.

"Why am I doing this to you? Fine! Then I'll tell you today!"

There was not a shred of fatherly warmth in Poseidon's pupils, only a rage tempered with ice.

His voice, suppressing his fury, was like a glacier grinding through the deep sea,

each word hammering down on the Third Prince, making his Divine Soul tremble:

"How many times have I warned you, that if you so much as touch Xindra's seal, be prepared to face a punishment of eternal damnation!"

"But you have such audacity, daring to privately undo the Restriction of the sea abyss and release her!"

The Third Prince trembled in agony all over, his face a mix of excruciating pain and utter confusion.

He completely failed to understand where he had gone wrong.

He just tore at his throat, screaming hysterically: "Father! I did it for you! Those humans blasphemed against the gods, attempting to covet the Sea God's Divine Position!

I just wanted Xindra to help me eliminate this trash! What did I do wrong?!

You're treating me like this for a monster sealed away for thousands of years? I am your son! The inheritor of the Sea God's Divine Position!"

Not far away, Eve gently shook her head, a sigh falling into the howling sea wind.

She took two steps forward, rising against the wind.

A brilliant, jade-green divine radiance spread out from her body.

She brushed aside the stray hairs by her cheek, revealing long, elf-like ears.

Her smooth, long hair was adorned with tiny lily-of-the-valley blossoms and new sprouts. Ivy coiled around her bare forearms, the vine tips dangling with buds about to bloom.

She stepped barefoot onto the void, and beneath her feet sprouted vast swathes of marine flowers unfurling in the sea breeze.

Even the turbulent, raging sea around them instantly calmed, even the waves turning gentle.

It was the divinity belonging to the Goddess of Life, vast as a springtime field.

So pure that even the deep-sea pressure emanating from Poseidon unconsciously receded a few degrees.

"Still don't understand your father's meaning?" Eve's voice was soft, yet carried an authority that suffocated the Third Prince. "When you broke Xindra's seal, you were blaspheming against the gods!"

The moment he clearly saw Eve, the Third Prince's pupils contracted violently.

The color drained completely from his face, the tearing agony from his shoulder bone momentarily overshadowed by this overwhelming shock.

This woman… was actually the Goddess of Life!?

The one who existed only in ancient legends, the one Father God held in his heart, his first wife whom he forbade anyone from even daring to discuss.

He had actually harbored killing intent towards this being just now?

Finally realizing what he had done, the Third Prince's entire body began to tremble uncontrollably, even his teeth chattering. The arrogance and hysteria from moments ago vanished without a trace, replaced only by bone-deep terror.

He still didn't understand Eve's words.

But the mere fact that he had just wanted to kill Eve meant he had already blasphemed.

And the consequences of blasphemy… the various ancient legends he had been steeped in since childhood had long provided all the answers.

Poseidon's gaze fell upon Eve. In those eyes churning with deep-sea storms, an indescribable complexity instantly welled up—there was guilt, there was panic, and a tenderness hidden for millions of years, never dared to be spoken aloud.

His hand gripping the trident tightened. He lowered his head towards Eve, his voice hoarse:

"I'm sorry. It was my fault for not keeping a better watch on these worthless bastards."

"I will give you an explanation for this matter."

Before his words faded, the wrist of his hand holding the trident suddenly exerted force. The runes on the trident's shaft abruptly blazed with light.

*Boom—!* The entire sea seemed to lurch downward at this moment.

Deep-blue divinity instantly surged to tear the Third Prince apart, to erase him completely from this world.

"No—!!" The Third Prince roared like a madman, tears and blood mixing as they streamed down his face, his eyes filled with insane disbelief. "Why?! Just because I broke a monster's seal?

I am your flesh and blood son!

Am I really inferior to an ugly, man-eating sea monster?! Why would you kill me for it?!"

His questioning echoed across the sea surface, full of despair and resentment.

Just then, ripples suddenly appeared in the void behind Poseidon. A figure wrapped in an aura of deathly stillness stepped out unhurriedly.

He wore a hooded black robe.

An aura of death that could freeze even the sea wind surrounded him, his pupils holding the eternal gloom of the underworld.

It was the God of Death, Hades, unseen for half a day.

Chen Huaian and Li Qingran stared blankly at Hades, wondering why this God of Death had suddenly arrived with the Sea God.

Hades swept a glance at the Third Prince, skewered by the Sea God's trident mid-air and looking utterly deranged, and let out a cold, mocking laugh:

"Kekeke~ Why? Because Xindra is the biological daughter of the Sea God and the Goddess of Life."

"Your Father sealed her in the depths of the sea abyss, never to imprison some monster, but to protect her from being disturbed by outsiders, and to fear her out-of-control power harming the innocent."

Hades's voice was full of undisguised mockery. "Yet you fools, for your own selfish desires, actually released her with your own hands. Stupid to this degree, you don't deserve to live even if you die."

"Your Father sealed her in the depths of the sea abyss, not to imprison some monster, but to protect her from being disturbed by outsiders, and to fear her uncontrolled power harming the innocent."

His pupils dilated, his mouth muttering unconsciously, even the agony from his shoulder bone completely forgotten.

Daughter…

That monster regarded as taboo by the entire deep sea, the tool he used to eliminate dissidents, Xindra, was actually the daughter of the Father God and the Goddess of Life?

Boundless terror instantly seized his heart. His entire body shook like a sieve, his throat making gurgling sounds, unable to form a single coherent sentence.

Poseidon grabbed the Third Prince's head, holding him up like a dead dog, forcing his face towards Eve. His voice was cruel:

"I sealed Xindra to awaken her memories, to help her gradually break free from the curse.

And you of the Sea Emperor Clan, to put it bluntly, are just a bunch of tools born from my union with a demigod, granted by my mercy.

Your purpose was to guard the key to Xindra's seal, to guard the Endless Sea for me in my absence.

I trusted you so much, gave you immense authority.

Even gave you the equal qualification to inherit the Divine Position… but you defied my orders!

Since that's the case, you have no reason to exist any longer!"

As his words fell.

Right in front of Eve and the others.

*Crack—!*

Poseidon directly crushed the Third Prince's skull, tossing the remaining half of the body into the center of the arena like garbage.
