The moment it crumbled, the bright light it emitted waned like a bulb that has lost its power. The stored light was released in one good flash before it completely disappeared. And under the pull of the gravity from all sides, a sudden rain of the shattered crystal rocks bombarded the Water elemental realm from the inside.

DDDUUUUDDGGGH!~

DUUUDGH!~

DUUUDGHHHH!~

From the distance, one could hear the deafening impact of the shards of the broken sun, creating powerful tremors before a shock wave a.s.saulted those who were at least a kilometer away from the center.

AAAAHGH!~

KHIAAAAHHH!~

UGGGH!~

The Emperor watched and listened as he witnessed the chaotic event inciting fear and anxiety to the residents of the water realm, even if it means that losing some of his people along the way.

"Do you hear this right now?" The Emperor suddenly spoke while closing his eyes, seemingly enjoying the sound as if he was in a live orchestra while facing the Elemental G.o.d.

"This is the sound of life and harmony." He added as he opened his eyes with a pleased gleam in his three red demonic eyes.

After saying these, the flickering lights from the fallen shards of the giant Silaw stone which was barely keeping the brightness of the whole Water realm has finally disappeared. 

Darkness has completely covered the Kingdom. Its plains and mountains are hidden in the pitch blanket of the night. Only the Golden Castle and cave behind it together with the bioluminescent lifeforms, that have their own light and the Elemental G.o.d is currently the last source of light. 

KHIAAAAHAHAHA!~

KHIAAAAAHAHAAHA!~

KHIAAAAHAHAAAA~

And true enough, what followed was a series of excited cries of the Shadow creatures. Now that the bright Silaw stone that was hindering them from moving openly is gone, they could finally unleash the true power of a Shadow.

With the cover of the darkness, their power and speed were greatly boosted. With unrestrained strength the laid waste to the Kingdom and those water elementals who were caught along the way. Munching on them, crus.h.i.+ng those that can"t be eaten and taking over the bodies that took their interest.

The moment that a Shadow takes over a certain body, it becomes filled with the odor and essence of Darkness, thus keeping the other Shadow creatures from s.n.a.t.c.hing it away from the first one who got it. As a small car, it was a first come first serve.

Those Shadows that were hungry did not spare any water elementals that have fallen victim, they lunged to them with the greedy mouth, devouring them until there was nothing left before moving on to find more.

While there are smarter and more choosy Shadows who would rather keep those strong looking water elementals who seemed to have potentials, aiming to blend with them completely and earn the elemental essence to become a stronger version of themselves.

A hybrid of Shadow and Water elementals, the Shadow Elementals.

They are looking forward to having an unrestrained feast in the human realm, which happens to have a sun that was an effective threat against them.

And the best way to counter the sun"s effect is by using a human or an elemental"s body as cover.

Soon enough, the hollow land of the water realm is filled with some Shadow Elementals in different forms. There are weird and powerful looking sharks that emitted a Shadows aura as a result. Some had taken the form of a black jellyfish, black merfolk, a black whale, a black Swordfish, just to name a few.

FLAAAs.h.!.+~

KHIAAA!~

UGGGHAAAH!!~

In the meantime, the clones of the Elemental G.o.d continued fighting against the endless surge of the Shadows. Though they were a powerful force that effectively wiped a group of Shadows in less than a seconds, the sheer number of the incoming Shadows rendered all of their effort to futility.

It felt like they were trying to unload the seawater of a sinking boat only to be filled back by a tidal wave on the other side. 

SLAAAAAs.h.!.+~

HAAAAHGH!~

SLAAAs.h.!.+~

The merfolk warriors, armed with now glowing weapons after receiving the blessings from the Elemental G.o.d"s, fought side by side with the clones. One particular group that was fighting skillfully were the few members of the elite force that has safely escorted Donna back to the Golden Cave.

Unfortunately for them, the sudden presence of the Emperor and his casual move of breaking the restraining Silaw stone has brought a different level of boost to the Shadows. With their unhindered movements and unending number, they has slowly manage to tilt back the battle on their side, slowly pus.h.i.+ng the Elemental G.o.d clones and the water elemental warriors with them back the Golden Castle.

The Warriors hacked like there was no tomorrow while the bow users unleashed a barrage of arrows without even sparing any more focus. With the glowing weapon on their hands, the Shadow creatures where like black balloons popping in pain, however, the Shadows also brought forth terrifying strength in their body.

Once you missed an attack, the Shadows would quickly seize the opening which also means game over for the poor elemental warrior. All of these happened while a quieter scene is currently ongoing on the other side.

Back to the main tunnel"s exit, the Elemental G.o.d is currently facing the Emperor with a deadly gaze.

Not far from them, an endless surge of the Shadow creatures continued to arrive through the widened tunnel. The moment these creatures saw the Emperor nearby, not one of them dared to stay any longer knowing the latter"s chaos-loving nature and proceeded to the main feast represented by the Golden Castle from the distance. 

Not minding the Elemental G.o.d before him, the Emperor suddenly started walking calmly towards the mermaid princess. His mouth stretched widely and revealed creepy and l.u.s.tful eyes.

HAAAAH!~

WHAAAAAM!~BOOOOOM!~

Without any warning, the Elemental G.o.d swung at a blurring speed at the Emperor with his radiant dual swords. The latter on the other hand did not dare to underestimate the Elemental G.o.d knowing he has complete control of the lighting elemental authority that is incredibly damaging for him.

"Where do you think you are going?" The Elemental G.o.d asked as he stood guard of the mermaid princess.

"T-thank you," Danna said with a stutter. Right now she is still trembling in fear while holding on the golden bow and the last two pieces of the silaw-stone-tipped arrow. 

Tightening his grip on the radiant swords on both his arms, the Elemental G.o.d replied, "I am the G.o.d of this realm. It is my duty to protect this realm and its citizen, though I have already failed from the start; I am just sparing the little ounce of responsibility and conscience left on me." 

"Now now. Don"t get in the way of my first mermaid dinner." said the Emperor who has suddenly revealed his domineering aura. 

FWOOOWM~

It was only a casual wave of the Emperor"s aura but the Elemental G.o.d was pushed a good few meters as the latter immediately unleashed a wind wall to counter the impact of the aura"s release.

Sensing the incoming danger, the Elemental G.o.d quickly covered the mermaid princess in a golden protected glow.

"Stay here, you need to survive cause I have a favor to ask." the Elemental G.o.d said.

"A favor?" Danna replied anxiously but before she could get a reply, the Elemental G.o.d has already left, leaving behind a sonic boom due to his unbelievable speed. A white trail was left as he reached the Emperor in the blink of an eye, his radiate dual swords just meters away from cutting the latter.

"Then I will play with you then!" the Emperor suddenly revealed six arms with a long yet weird looking swords at each grip. 

ZOOOSH~

CLANNGG!~

FWOOOSH~

CLAAANG!~

CLAAANG!~

CLAAANG!~

And just like that, the two most powerful being currently in the water realm danced with each other"s blade. The Elemental G.o.d wielded his swords with incredible skills, accuracy, and timing while the Emperor would deflect them using the advantage of his multiple arms presented. 

Danna watched everything as the two fought at a terrifying pace. Not even her fast eyes were enough to follow the movements of the two overwhelming creatures. All she saw was that the whole place was slowly being ravaged by a storm of flashy sword attacks and impact.

It was a scene that reminded her of Elric. Perhaps, if Elric was here, maybe he can take on that Emperor as well!

However, it did not take long for the fierce battle between the Elemental G.o.d and the Emperor to show the result.

"Darn it! If only I have all my clones, I could have fought fairly."

The disparity between the two was just too big. Especially that the Elemental G.o.d could not exert his real power since he has divided his powers to each of his clones.

If he wants to fight the Emperor at full force, he would have to retract his scattered clones at the stake of the lives of more Elementals! It is just not possible for him!

He had decided to stand on the Elemental"s side. He would at least protect them tell the end!

"I have no choice..." the Elemental G.o.d mumbled to himself as his eyes revealed a determined look. 

"there was no choice in the first place." He added as he suddenly clapped the two radiant swords before it turned into one longer and bigger version. 

"Sundering Flas.h.!.+"

And without any warning, the Elemental G.o.d pushed the larger radiant sword before a terrifying burst of light covered the Emperors entire field of view.

FLAAAAAAAAAAa.s.sSs.h.!.+~

It was a wide range attack that took the Emperor off guard, causing him to feel the full brunt of the attack.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM~

A white beam of light suddenly pierced out of the now dark covered planet of the water realm. As a result, the hollow world of the water realm was exposed openly from the outside. It was more of a planet piercing attack!
