Hi, I’m the Hero’s Father ～I’m Sorry For All The Trouble My Foolish Son Has Caused You～ - Chapter 94

Chapter 94   The Sea God Sweeps Away

◆Neptune’s Side◆

“Well then… Are you all prepared?”

Neptune, having ended the communication with Wiel, glared at the crowd of fishmen before her.

They were all armed. Additionally, they had managed to procure bombs and cannons from somewhere.

As Wiel had suspected, the security around the royal castle was thin at the moment.

Neptune herself had given the orders for this. However, Neptune’s strength was extraordinary. To be honest, she could protect herself without any guards.

More than that, she was slightly irritated by the fact that she had been outmaneuvered.

(Their goal is my life and the destruction of Dipsea. How underestimated I’ve been.)

Honestly, Neptune thought it could have been dangerous if not for Croix and Wiel.

But there was no time to dwell on that now.

The outcome before her was everything.

As the sea god and queen of Dipsea, she would repel the threat.

The gang members glared at Neptune from her throne with blatant hostility.

“Revenge for our ancestors who tasted bitterness…!”

“We will kill you and take everything from Dipsea!”

“My father died cursing you…!”

The sea gangs, despite Neptune’s imposing presence, did not waver in their fighting spirit.

On the contrary, they were filled with a fervent rage like blazing flames.

“I exiled you for the sake of my own thoughts and the peace of Dipsea. Those who are exiled have committed sins worthy of exile.”

“Shut up!”

“Revenge for our ancestors who were cast out of their homeland, we will settle it here!”

It was completely collateral damage.

But that’s how grudges work.

They are expanded and interpreted in one’s own way, and one can only believe in what they want to believe.

Neptune cast a look of pity toward the gangs.

“…Is this also the result of my leniency? I hesitated to kill my compatriots and chose exile instead—but I should have executed them after all.”

A powerful aura surged from Neptune.

The gangs, brimming with murderous intent and hostility, were instantly cowed and flinched.

The aura was overwhelming.

The disparity in strength was hopeless.

Neptune raised her hand toward the sky, concentrating a massive amount of aura and magical power.

“Come forth, Trident.”

—She summoned the divine artifact.

The divine trident.

The three-pronged spear, known as the trident, appeared, radiating a sapphire blue light.

This was the genuine weapon of a god, held by Neptune.

The divine power that Croix feared was unleashed, covering Dipsea.

“I will punish you all with everything I have.”

Neptune brandished the trident and rose from her throne.

Immediately, cannonballs were fired at Neptune.

“Unwelcome.”

With a single swing of the trident, Neptune deflected the cannonballs. They struck the center of the gangs, causing an explosion.

Following this, the gangs rushed at Neptune all at once.

“Petty.”

Neptune swung the trident wildly.

Just that alone shattered the dozen or so front-line attackers into pieces.

“Hii…!”

“Y-you monster…!”

The eyes of the gangs filled with terror.

Neptune was accustomed to being feared as a monster. She didn’t care about that anymore.

Unable to withstand Neptune’s mighty blows, the gangs were defeated one after another.

“W-what should we do, boss…!”

“C-calm down! He’ll be here soon. Once that happens…!”

At that moment, unsettling words reached Neptune’s ears.

She wasn’t sure what was happening, but it was clear she didn’t have much time.

“Tch… And they’re still being so petty…!”

No matter how immense and powerful Neptune was, the gangs’ power and speed were also extraordinary.

They had probably prepared for this day. They were tougher than expected.

(It can’t be helped. I didn’t want to use too many abilities, but… huh?)

She then realized.

In addition to the gang, there was another presence that was unusually massive.

It wasn’t Croix’s. It wasn’t Wiel’s magical power either.

It was something else, something more foreign and monstrous.

“Boss, it’s here!”

“It’s arrived! Now, you sea demons, drag down the sea god!”

The leader of the sea gangs shouted.

At the same time, something enormous appeared behind them.

“Go, Kraken Junior—!!”
