(In the author's setting, the Whirlpool Demon Osel is the God of the Sea.)

Why do you say that?

The man on the seat was not at all the mature and steady adult man like Zhongli that he had expected. Instead, he looked like a young and immature boy.

However, the woman sitting next to him had a figure as graceful as Ruying and exuded the aura of a queen. This strange and abrupt combination really made Lei Dianshi's thoughts fall into a brief period of confusion and astonishment.

"What should I call you?"

Osel was the first to break the suffocating silence, his voice mellow and deep.

Hmm? This sound...

Lei Dianshi's gaze was as sharp as a torch, instantly focused on the young boy sitting there. The surprise in his heart was like a surging wave, surging wildly.

Such a mature and steady voice, full of the accumulation of time, actually came from the mouth of this seemingly ignorant and naive boy. The contrast was so strong that it was almost absurd.

"That depends on how you view me."

Lei Dianshi raised his foot slightly and slowly walked towards the stairs.

At this moment, the woman quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Zhengtai, ruthlessly separating the space between Lei Dianshi and Zhengtai in an instant. The vigilance in her eyes was like a sharp arrow, shooting straight at Lei Dianshi.

"Ba Che, get out of the way."

Shota's voice remained as calm as water, without a single ripple.

From the beginning to the end, ever since Lei Dian Shi stepped into this place, he was like a solidified statue. Apart from the slight movement of his lips to make sounds and his eyes blinking from time to time, the rest of his body did not move at all. It was as if Lei Dian Shi was paralyzed in a wheelchair, having lost the ability to move his limbs, so naturally he could not make any movements.

After hearing what Zhengtai said, Ba Che just moved his feet slightly and took half a step back.

That half-step distance represented a delicate balance between her obedience to her husband's orders and her guard against the stranger in front of her.

"Leizu, how about this title?"

"Of course, then I will call you Poseidon."

"How about we speak frankly? You didn't ask me here just to chat, did you?"

Lei Dian Shi bent forward slightly, his body leaning forward like a cheetah about to pounce on its prey, trying to catch even the slightest trace of true emotion and intention in Osel's seemingly calm eyes.

However, how could this sea god who once stirred up huge waves between heaven and earth be easily intimidated and seen through by the momentum of others?

He just looked back calmly with an extremely ordinary look in his eyes, with a smile on his face. If placed in the outside world, no one would probably find it difficult to connect the person in front of him with the powerful vortex demon god of the past.

"What does Lei Zu think of me?"

What does this mean? Lei Dianshi was a little confused for a moment.

"He's very strong, but not enough. He has some leadership skills."

As Lei Dianshi answered, he subconsciously turned his gaze to Ba Che who had been staring at him.

For a thousand years, she still followed her husband closely and never left him.

At this point, the unity and loyalty displayed by the couple made Lei Dianshi feel an indescribable emotion in his heart.

"So what do you think of my relationship with Morax?"

Osel continued to ask questions slowly, his tone as if he was discussing an insignificant matter, but with a subtle hidden meaning.

"Very bad." Lei Dianshi blurted out without thinking, his tone showing a firm understanding of the situation during the past Demon War.

"Do you know why?"

"Mid-World War? No, your relationship wasn't good before the Mid-World War either. Are you planning to occupy Liyue and become enemies with Lao Deng?"

"That's true."

Seeing that Osel was about to continue asking questions, Lei Dianshi suddenly felt impatient. He frowned, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, and he quickly interrupted Osel loudly:

"Stop it! I don't have that much time to chat with you here. If you don't get to the point, I'm really going to leave!"

This Oser is really weird. He left his wife alone and insisted on calling me here. Is it just to kill time with him?

But Lei Dian Shi also knew that the mighty Whirlpool Demon God Osel would never be so bored as to do such a meaningless thing.

And this is exactly the key reason why he came here to find out the truth and still chose to stay. If he was not curious about the truth and coveting potential benefits, he would have turned around and left long ago, returning to that warm and comfortable place to sleep peacefully.

"hehe."

Osel laughed softly, and his laughter echoed in the empty palace, carrying a hint of mystery.

Immediately afterwards, a chair carefully crafted from exquisite coral slowly floated over from the side of the palace and finally stopped steadily behind Lei Dianshi.

It was obvious that Osel was signaling Lei Dianshi to sit down. After all, during a conversation, if one party stood superior while the other sat, it would inevitably make the sitting party feel inferior.

But Lei Dian Shi didn't like it, and Osel knew this very well - he didn't like it!

Seeing this, Lei Dian Shi didn't hesitate and followed Osel's instructions and sat down with a swagger, as if he was at home.

"I'm so sorry, but the Sea God Palace is no longer as prosperous as it used to be. I really don't have anything to entertain you properly."

"That's fine. Let's skip the formalities and get down to business."

"He's really anxious. This kind of look is really just the temper of a young person."

Facing Lei Dianshi's repeated and undisguised urging, Osel remained calm and spoke slowly. His expression and behavior seemed to be certain that Lei Dianshi would never turn around and leave easily, and would stay to listen to him finish his words no matter what.

"Does Lei Zu like power?"

"I like it, of course I like it very much." Lei Dianshi answered without hesitation. He never concealed his desire for power. In this world of demons, power represents status and dignity, and represents the capital for survival and control.

"What would you think if I shared some of my power with you?"

When Lei Dianshi heard this, his eyes suddenly focused, and his heart was filled with shock and confusion.

Osel wants to share his power with him?

This sounds as absurd and bizarre as a fairy tale.

However, given Osel's identity and character, if he said such words in person, there must be some ulterior motive hidden behind it, and it could not be an act of kindness without any reason.

"My thought is that you are ill."

Lei Dianshi really couldn't believe that Osel would do such a thing, and the first words that came out of his mouth were filled with a bit of sarcasm and doubt.

"That's true."

Osel actually admitted it calmly, which surprised Lei Dianshi greatly and his interest was immediately piqued.

From the outside, there was no sign that Osel was ill.

The last fierce battle between him and Osel only managed to suppress him again, but did not cause him any serious injuries that were fatal or irreversible.

"I don't believe it unless you tell me in detail."

"I strip you of my authority over the sea."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire space seemed to be frozen by an invisible force, and a creepy and strange silence fell between Lei Dianshi and Osel.

Only outside the Sea God Palace, the sound of fish swimming freely and gently paddling in the water can be clearly heard, as if telling of the incompatibility between the tranquility of the outside world and the tense atmosphere in the palace.

From somewhere came the faint sound of bubbles bursting, a "pop" sound that seemed particularly abrupt in the silence.

Lei Dianshi swallowed subconsciously, his throat rolling as he was deeply shocked by Osel's words.

Authority is the source of the devil's power.

Forcibly stripping away power would cause unimaginable damage to the demon god himself. He would certainly suffer a serious blow to his vitality. Even if he did not die, his strength would be greatly reduced, and he would most likely lose his powerful power.

"real or fake?"

"Really." Osel's answer was brief and firm, without any hesitation or ambiguity.

"What will it cost me?"

There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. When such a huge benefit suddenly comes out of nowhere, anyone who is not extremely stupid will instinctively be alert. He does not want to lose himself in front of these seemingly tempting benefits and become a pawn of others.

Osel slowly and with great difficulty raised his head. He seemed to be able to penetrate the layers of the Poseidon Palace's ceiling, the endlessly deep sea, and the clouds floating in the sky...

Then, he lowered his head slightly and let out a long breath. There seemed to be helplessness and a hint of expectation in that breath.

"When you become strong enough, help me teach Morax a lesson."

"Are you sure they're not those people in the sky?"

"I have no grudge against them."

"Oh, then I don't want your authority over the sea, Poseidon."

"Why?"

"Don't you think your conditions are too simple? They give people a feeling of fraud." Lei Dianshi said bluntly, his arms folded across his chest.

"Has Lei Zu participated in the Demon God War? How well does he know me? If I really wanted to make a move, I wouldn't be so deliberate. Back then, the Dream Demon God, Chi and other demon gods were all sold out by me and still work for me."

There was a hint of past arrogance and pride in Osel's words, which was the aftereffect of his past victories in the Demon War.

Lei Dianshi stood up and stretched his muscles, which were a little stiff from sitting for a long time. Every movement he made was full of strength.

He glanced at Ba Che, only to see that she was still staring at him like a sculpture, the vigilance and hostility in her eyes never dissipating.

Seeing Lei Dian Shi suddenly stretch out his hand without warning and point a finger straight at Osel's forehead, Bazhe instantly felt like he was facing a formidable enemy and immediately grabbed Lei Dian Shi's arm.

This was exactly what Lei Dianshi intended. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing an imperceptible sneer. Then he suddenly exerted force, and a powerful force surged out of his body, instantly shaking Bazhe away.

Then, he grabbed one of Ba Che's hands with his backhand like a nimble poisonous snake, and used the hand he grabbed to strangle Ba Che's neck tightly. With his other hand, before Ba Che could attack again, he quickly controlled both of her hands on her abdomen.

"you..."

A loli voice came out of Ba Che's mouth. The voice was crisp and pleasant, but full of panic and anger.

Lei Dian Shi was secretly amazed. Wow, this Osel family is really full of tricks. He has a handsome body and an uncle voice, while his wife has a mature body but a loli voice. What a reversal...

"Be quiet, you don't want to betray Osel, do you?"

Lei Dianshi leaned close to Ba Che's ear and whispered softly.

"Bache, don't move."

Osel looked at his wife being tied up. Although he did not move, his expression became increasingly ugly. His originally calm face seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds, and it was terribly gloomy.

"Poseidon, I think I've always emphasized speaking frankly. If you have something to say, could you please explain the most fundamental things clearly?"

Lei Dianshi raised his voice, his eyes full of impatience. To put it bluntly, he simply didn't believe that Osel would be so kind. There must be a deeper calculation hidden behind this.

"What I said is true. If Lei Zu doesn't believe me, I will sit here and let you take the authority of the sea yourself. I will not resist."

"If Leizu is worried about a trap, Morax, Mond, Inazuma and the others are all here," Osel added.

Lei Dianshi knew in his heart that although what Osel said was correct, he was an old fox who had lived for thousands of years... an old octopus, with a mind as deep as the sea. He dared not be careless in front of him.

Then, Lei Dian Shi suddenly bit Ba Che's neck. In an instant, bright red blood flowed slowly down Ba Che's neck like a trickle.

Ba Che suddenly grimaced and struggled in pain. Some of the sea beast's features on his face began to appear faintly. His body kept twisting hard, trying to break free from Lei Dian Shi's restraints.

However, the more she struggled, the tighter Lei Dianshi held her, and her arms were like shackles, unable to move at all.

Osel watched from the side, his face becoming increasingly gloomy, his eyes seemed to be spewing fire, and the originally calm sea water outside the Palace of Poseidon began to violently stir, with surging waves, as if it would break through the limit at any time.

"what."

When the power of thunder and lightning was almost injected, Lei Dian Shi let go of Ba Che, and Ba Che fell to the ground. He stretched out his hand to attack Lei Dian Shi, but lightning came out of his body. Ba Che had no choice but to let go of his hand, staggered up and returned to Oser, his body shaking constantly.

"Poseidon, if you want me to believe you, swallow this drop of blood."

Lei Dianshi forced blood beads to appear on his fingers, and then merged into one drop of blood.

"can."

He agreed so quickly that Lei Dian Shi had to believe that Osel was not cheating. After all, this was his opponent's territory. If he wanted to remain unscathed, it would be no problem, but he would have to sacrifice Ba Che. However, it did not rule out that the other party loved Ba Che deeply.

"Don't worry, if everything goes well in the end, I will remove the restrictions in your bodies. I will keep my word."

Lei Dianshi walked slowly forward with his fingertip pointing downwards. Osel opened his mouth and the drop of blood entered Osel's mouth accurately. After waiting for a while, Lei Dianshi felt relieved when he felt that there was really a connection between Osel and himself.

"I really don't know what you're up to. Why are you so unwilling to talk about some things?"

There is nothing wrong with letting Lei Dian teach Morax a lesson, but that should be just a small purpose. Osel still keeps the real purpose hidden in his heart.

"Tell me, how do we do it?"

Lei Dianshi sat back in his chair, and Ba Che stepped back at Osel's signal.

"Just close your eyes and stretch out your hands. It might be a little uncomfortable."

After a slight hesitation, Lei Dianshi stretched out his right hand, and Osel also stretched out his right hand, but his movements were a little stiff.

"Boom——"

Although Lei Dianshi closed his eyes, he could still sense what was happening - a large amount of sea water rushed into the palace under great pressure, producing a huge, dull rumble that echoed continuously in the walls and space of the palace.

However, Lei Dianshi did not pay much attention and let the sea water submerge him. He could sense a mysterious power, but this power did not belong to him. It was just floating around him, exploring, as if it was very curious about him and a little afraid.

Lei Dianshi felt that the hand next to his palm seemed to have grown bigger. Could it be that Oser Shota's appearance was not what he really looked like? It didn't matter.

However, the sea water, which originally did not make him feel cold, was now terribly cold, and a layer of ice crystals gradually covered the surface of the lightning.

Is this the God of Ice or the God of the Sea? This cold air made him shiver, but he didn't dare to use his strength to drive away the cold. At the same time, Lei Dianshi also felt that Osel's shaking amplitude seemed to be greater than his.

"Empty your mind!"

Osel's voice sounded again. Lei Dian could hear a hint of weakness in his full voice, which made Lei Dian feel worried. He decided not to give up halfway.

He gritted his teeth and held back the discomfort. He was quite good at releasing his mind through lightning. When he practiced immortal power with Zhongli, his mind was empty for a long time, but there was no progress in his immortal power practice.

By the way, this is definitely not because of the lack of talent of Thunder and Lightning Release, it is definitely because Lao Deng is not working hard enough.
