017. Transformation
017
Although I already knew the destination that Phorcys mentioned, I couldn't act rashly under the nose of Poseidon, the god of the sea.
At this time, I can only lie in wait quietly and wait for the right opportunity before taking action.
So I really followed Triton's suggestion and pretended to go to appreciate some beautiful sights on the seabed. I seemed to pass by the trench at the end of the seabed plain inadvertently. As for the deep and dark depths, I didn't even dare to cast a glance there, for fear that someone would discover my intention.
This so-called relaxation trip was destined to be absent-minded. On the way back, I was always worried about how things would develop in the future, so I didn't dare to reveal any of my emotions.
When I deliberately circled around and was about to return to my temporary residence, I suddenly felt that the water flow behind me became violent for some reason, and it was gurgling in the empty and distant seabed.
Goosebumps.
I stopped moving cautiously and was about to look back when suddenly a powerful force hit me. I screamed subconsciously, but my body had already lost its balance and fell backwards with the pull of the force.
In the already dark seabed, all I could see was a vague shadow. When I wanted to see the other person's identity clearly and shout for help, my mouth was covered tightly.
I had no idea what was happening, but just as I was dizzy, I bumped into something heavily, and all the force of the shadow fell on me. I couldn't help but groan in pain, and the whole world suddenly went from dim to pitch black.
I opened my eyes wide in horror and tried to struggle and scream, but when I tried my best and acted hysterically like a shrew, I could only helplessly realize that I could do nothing.
Running away was useless. The black shadow was like a huge and towering mountain, weighing down my shoulders. I felt as if I was so small and helpless that even struggling was ridiculous.
In the darkness, other senses become extremely sharp. I don’t know who that dark shadow is, but I can clearly feel the warmth of those hands, the slight trembling of the fingertips and the gradually increasing strength.
I heard the trembling, heavy breathing in the enclosed space. The sound came from far away and gradually got closer. Finally, it slowly reached my ears. Without saying a word, it uttered a humming laugh that sounded somewhat familiar to me.
For a moment I felt a little dizzy. I tried hard to think about where I had heard this sound. Suddenly a light flashed in my mind, but before I could figure out the answer that was about to come out, I was soon occupied by the panting sound again. The sound came from my ears to my face, as if it was very close, but it did not take any action for a long time, which kept driving me at a loss.
But it was during this interval that, although my brain was still shrouded in fog, I seemed to be vaguely aware of something, and my whole body slowly relaxed and no longer offered any resistance.
Acting like I've given up.
Just when I thought nothing would happen, the soft touch on my lips came at an unexpected moment. At the moment of contact, I couldn't help but let out a sigh from the bottom of my heart, as if I had been longing for it for a long time.
I reached out and held his face. I had never been so passionate in my short life, and it was not like today when I tried my best to play with each other's thin lips. My lips and tongue moved around, and every time they touched each other, it was like a crackling spark, turning into a large flame that continued to rise and burn, producing a scorching and twisted heat wave.
It was an indescribable heartfelt happiness. Even though it was just a kiss, it was precisely this kiss that was filled with sweet warmth and happiness, as if mixed with a terrible poison that made people crave for it. It was strange, but they didn't want to escape, and just wanted to keep sinking deeper into it.
The black shadow was happy, I don’t know if it was simply because of the kiss or because of my obedience and initiative.
It wasn't until I was completely exhausted and completely defeated that the other party finally let me go.
The next second, the dim light came on again, and as the dim light gradually illuminated this place, I was gasping for breath as I watched the dark shadow in front of me gradually reveal its face, and was slightly stunned.
"I thought you were some chaste and heroic woman, but it seems you're nothing more than that."
The fog in my brain quickly dissipated, and it was only then that I suddenly realized that the person whose name was on the tip of my tongue but I couldn't utter was actually Him.
Although I didn't know what He had done, I had already prepared myself deep down. I deliberately put on an expression of surprise and pain, and said sadly, "How...how could it be you?!"
Poseidon, the god of the sea, reached out and pinched my chin, but the smugness on his face gradually stiffened. I felt as if his fingers were deeply embedded in my cheek, so hard that even the seams of my bones hurt.
He seemed to be completely amused by my performance, and said through gritted teeth, "Bitch, who do you think I am?!"
I was easily lifted up, but I could only clench my jaw tightly and shake my head in fear.
Poseidon's expression turned gloomy as expected, but he soon calmed down. His blue eyes focused on me like the sea, and the water rushed towards me with a roar, making me suddenly feel cold to the bone and severe pain all over my body.
"Nice try, but you know what? If a mortal dares to fool a god, her fate is... death."
The word was spoken so lightly that I couldn't stop trembling. His tone was full of tenderness and affection, but his eyes were icy cold. "What do you think?"
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt His hot hand suddenly touch my neck, and His fingers lightly and casually touched my throat.
But wherever His fingers touched, my skin immediately became hot. I swallowed subconsciously, but there was always a foreign object in the way, hindering and blocking me, like a terrible cloud always hanging over me.
"Respected Poseidon, God of the Sea, how dare I fool a god?" I defended myself in an extremely hoarse voice, "I, I was just confused for a moment and recognized the wrong person."
But my words did not seem to appease Him at all. He pressed my head firmly into the ground. The hard ground rubbed my face so hard that it stung. Not only that, I was caught off guard and was pierced by the pain, with my fingers sinking deep into the seabed.
The hem of the clothes fluttered back and forth with the flow of water, winding out scattered and pulled arcs.
Even though I had already prepared myself mentally for the punishment I might face, when it all really happened, the fear of dying quickly overwhelmed me.
I sobbed and felt something flowing out of my eyes, but when I subconsciously reached out to wipe it away, I found that there was nothing there. Even if there was, it must have been carried away by the water long ago.

My body kept falling, and I felt my world turn dark red. I saw the dark and terrifying Tartarus, with ugly and huge monsters roaring constantly. I was surrounded by a blazing river of fire. I was so hot that I was about to melt, but I also felt a burning sensation deep in my skin.
In a trance, I seemed to hear whispers from the supreme god, who vowed to judge me for my rebellious nature and mercilessly throw me into an endless hell for my efforts to resist.
I cried and struggled, but——
The violent trembling suddenly woke me up in panic. I kept gasping for breath and subconsciously reached out to touch my cold forehead, but found that I was still at the bottom of the sea.
To be precise, I was curled up in the corner of a huge palace at that moment, thrown aside like garbage.
I guessed this was most likely Poseidon's palace, but the place I was in was empty except for me, which made me feel a little more relaxed.
Only then did I finally have time to lower my head and carefully examine my body. My fair skin was covered with mottled red, blue and purple marks, and the clothes I had just borrowed from Triton and had worn for a short time were no longer able to cover my body.
I don't know how much time has passed since I lost consciousness, but until now I still feel uncomfortable all over, as if I am a broken and unlovable toy that no one would cherish from the bottom of their hearts.
But now that things have come to this, I have no room to retreat. I can only try this pale and powerless plan with difficulty. The next thing to do is to determine the time when Poseidon leaves the sea, so that I have the opportunity to go to the deepest part of this ocean and find a way to resist.
So, I stood up with difficulty, and my fatigue forced me to reach out and hold on to the wall of this solemn and dark underwater palace. But just as I was about to leave here to explore some information, the door suddenly opened, and a dazzling light made me squint my eyes.
In the backlight, a familiar figure slowly appeared in front of me. The strong outline suddenly made me feel terrified, and I couldn't help but step back subconsciously.
The god shrouded in holy light finally moved. The light and shadow on his body slowly changed as he moved, and finally gradually dimmed, revealing his face.
A strange light flickered in Poseidon's deep eyes. The rage and anger that had been brewing in his eyes disappeared, and turned into a gentleness that made me feel uncomfortable. This characteristic was obviously contradictory in him, so I was very wary of his appearance.
At the same time, He suddenly stretched out His strong arms towards me, and the next second I found that the water around me began to stir uncontrollably, and my body seemed to be sucked into a whirlpool and moved towards His direction.
I tried to struggle backwards with my hands and feet, but it was of no use at all. A hint of viciousness flashed in His eyes, but when I tried to see clearly, it quickly disappeared and turned into a strange smile. He gently held me in his arms.
"My poor Medusa...are you still hurt?" His drawn-out tone seemed to deliberately convey tenderness and guilt. His handsome face was filled with affection as he carefully rubbed my purple wrist. "Before, I was too angry and impulsive, and accidentally hurt you."
"But it wasn't until this moment that I suddenly realized that your tenacity and perseverance had already deeply attracted me without me realizing it. However, your rejection and rejection almost made me lose my mind... But please believe me, I will never hurt you again."
As he spoke, Poseidon stared at the expression on my face, slowly raised my hand, and gently kissed the back of my hand. The tingling touch rippled across my skin.
But this is really not like the Poseidon I thought he was. Considering my previous behavior that angered him, even if this is true, it seems to be a conspiracy.
My hair stood on end and I tried to pull my hand away cautiously, but He held my hand tightly and imprisoned me in His arms.
Seeing that I still seemed to be afraid of and distrustful of Him, He turned and looked at me meaningfully, and then threw to me a temptation that He considered fatal.
"Medusa, you know I've long been tired of my wife Amphitrite."
My movements suddenly stopped, and I looked at Him with a frown.
"I know who you are. Although you are a mortal, you are also the daughter of Phorcys..." His other finger caressed my cheek lovingly. "Don't underestimate yourself, Medusa."
His hoarse voice rang in my ears, "I want you to marry me, to be my wife, and to become the queen of this ocean."
