If escape was blocked, Rojen resolved to break through with brute force.
"I didn't want to resort to this... but you've left me no choice!"
Taking a bold step forward, his black eyes suddenly turned crimson. Three spinning tomoe formed in his gaze, rotating rapidly.
In an instant, each of Rojen's steps grew heavier. With every forceful stomp, a dreadful, bloodthirsty aura surged from him like a tidal wave, rippling through the air and making it tremble. This overwhelming aura rolled outward, striking terror into the hearts of the Marines guarding his ship.
"Susanoo!"
With a low roar, Rojen's relatively small body seemed to grow, exuding an overwhelming sense of expansion.
"Ka-cha-cha!"
The eerie sound of bones grinding together echoed through the air, sending chills down the spines of all who heard it.
"What on earth is that?!"
"Is he a monster? A demon?!"
"What a sinister and violent aura!"
The Marines, witnessing the dramatic transformation in Rojen, began to tremble. The menacing aura emanating from him seemed almost primordial, instinctively triggering fear and quashing any desire to resist.
Piece by piece, enormous skeletal structures emerged from the void behind Rojen. Within just three breaths, they formed the outline of a colossal skull.
"Boom!"
With Rojen's fifth step, the white skeletal structure behind him solidified, towering 50 to 60 meters high. Surrounded by a fiery red energy, it radiated an intense heat that distorted the air.
"Ka-cha-cha!"
At this moment, two crimson flames ignited in the hollow eye sockets of the skull. As they looked down upon the Marines below, the sheer dread caused their bodies to tremble as if staring death in the face.
"Thud!"
With his sixth step, the massive skull shuddered, and armor began forming over it. Within two breaths, the thick armor fully encased the skeletal figure.
By this time, the colossal Susanoo had become a tangible entity. Fully armored and exuding an aura of indestructibility, its glowing crimson eyes added an oppressive and chilling presence.
"Boom!"
The Susanoo extended its right hand. With a single step, it gripped a sword and the Yasakani no Magatama from the void.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The enormous Susanoo advanced alongside Rojen. With every step, the ground trembled violently. The immense weight and force of the figure caused cracks to spiderweb across the ground, and a minor earthquake rippled through the area near the ship.
"Get out of my way!"
In just a few strides, Rojen had reached the ship, standing face-to-face with the Marines.
The Marines, staring up at the towering Susanoo, were overwhelmed with fear. Compared to the gigantic figure, they seemed as insignificant as ants, easily crushable beneath its feet.
"What is this monstrous thing?!"
"How are we supposed to defeat that?!"
The Marines were in chaos, their morale shattered by the sheer presence of Susanoo.
"Get out of my way!"
With a furious roar, Rojen commanded Susanoo, whose enormous foot came crashing down toward the Marines.
"Boom!"
The massive stomp landed directly in the center of the Marine formation, sending dozens of soldiers flying into the air. Their screams filled the skies as they crashed back down, rendered completely incapable of continuing the fight.
With its colossal sword in hand, the Susanoo swung ferociously in a wide arc, cutting through the air and sweeping toward the Marines ahead.
"Wēng Wēng Wēng!"
As the long sword vibrated, the Unhindered Sword Method was unleashed, sending a terrifying wave of energy that swept hundreds of Marines off their feet, sending them screaming out of the battlefield's center.
In less than five breaths, over a thousand Marines were cleared from a large section of the area by Rojen's attack.
"Attack!! Attack him, father! What are you all doing just standing there?!"
"Do you want to die?! Attack!!"
The furious shouts came from the Marines standing at the ship's bow.
It was at that moment that the Marines snapped back into action, nervously aiming their guns toward Susanoo.
"Pēng Pēng Pēng!!"
Smoke filled the air as countless guns fired in unison, all aimed at Susanoo.
Tiny ripples appeared on Susanoo's form, but Rojen only furrowed his brow slightly before dismissing the attack completely.
However, the Marines below were completely stunned.
"It… it's not working!"
"We can't break through his defense! How are we supposed to attack him?!"
The Marines, witnessing this, were left confused and disoriented.
"Boom!"
Susanoo stomped down once again, causing another wave of screams. Numerous Marines were sent flying into the air before crashing violently back to the ground.
Rojen's expression remained cold as he took large steps forward. The Marines trying to stand in his way couldn't even leave a scratch on him.
Within just a dozen steps, he was already standing before the ship, his two crimson eyes coldly staring at the Marines standing at the bow.
Behind him, hundreds of Marines stood frozen in fear, gazing up at the enormous Susanoo. At that moment, their courage to fight seemed to vanish entirely.
"Get out of my way!"
With a sharp command, the Susanoo's foot came crashing down, causing the entire ship to shake violently. The Marines on board were so shaken that many of them fell to the deck in terror.
"What is this monstrosity?!"
A few ranking officers, their faces pale with fear, stared up at Susanoo. They had never encountered such a terrifying force before— it was like a weapon of war. No matter how many Marines stood before it, they knew they couldn't stop it.
Just as they were processing their dread, the enormous Susanoo began to move its right hand, preparing to slam down on the Marines aboard the ship.
Its colossal fist descended like a massive boulder, ready to crush them. The wind whipped up around it, causing the wooden ship to sway violently.
The Marines, even though the fist had not yet reached them, screamed in terror, imagining the horror of being pulverized into meat paste by the impact.
"Ah! Help! Save me!"
"This is terrifying! Someone, please help me!"
"Monster! It's a monster!!"
A few ranking officers gritted their teeth, closing their eyes and desperately attempting to strike the descending fist in an effort to block the devastating blow. However, their attacks only momentarily delayed the strike.
Then, Susanoo slightly trembled its fist, and the ranking officers were sent flying into the sea, spewing blood as they lost all combat capability.
At that instant, the Marines on the deck seized the opportunity and dove into the sea, swiftly and decisively, their movements as fast as lightning.
The fist descended, and just as it was about to land on the deck, it stopped suddenly, creating an immense atmospheric pressure that seemed to press the ship into the sea.
"Wēng"
Rojen's gaze was cold and indifferent as he ignored the atmospheric pressure, stepping onto the deck.
