[Congratulations! You have obtained a top-tier skill!]
'Top tier skill?!' Zach exclaimed inwardly. 'I knew there was a strong spell, but I didn't expect it to be a top-tier skill.'
There were three types of skills in Gods' Impact. Low-tier, mid-tier, and top-tier.
Low-tier skills could easily be obtained by meeting specific requirements. Mid-tier skills could be obtained by using real-life talents. And top-tier skills could only be obtained by defeating the realm's bosses, that too only in rare cases.
Zach opened his menu and looked at the skill's name before reading its description.
[Sea's Blessing]
"This skill can be used to control the sea…" Zach read.
He was a bit confused as it didn't describe anything else.
Zach turned to the seventh and asked, "So… I can control water with this skill?"
The seventh nodded and said, "Yes. As long as you are within three meters of the water, you should be able to control it."
'Three meters?' Zach laced his hand on his chin and wondered, 'Three meters is a safe distance when fighting someone, especially if it's a magic-based battle. But This spell is only useful if the opponent uses a water-based attack.'
'Although this skill is top-tier, it should have more advantages than the normal skills.'
Zach jumped on the ground and looked up at the water floating above them.
'Let's try it.'
Zach took control over the Seawater and formed a vertical line, then a horizontal line. Then, another horizontal line and a vertical line. He repeated it two more times and formed a familiar symbol.
He had created a middle finger emote using an emote.
Aurora ad Aquarius shot a glare at Zach, but Aria was confused and curious.
"What does this symbol mean?" Aria whispered into Aurora's ears. She felt ashamed because she was the only one in the group who didn't know what it meant. Even Aquarius and Ruli knew what it meant.
"It basically means 'Fuck you'. It's a slang that most people use when they want to annoy the person annoying them," Aurora responded in a low voice.
Aria furrowed her brows and muttered, "Zach showed me this once…"
"Heh!" Zach sneered and nodded at the seventh in amusement. "This is awesome."
'He is just like his father…' Both the seventh and the sixth thought the same thing.
"Now then, shall we go? I believe the other players would be getting angsty now," the seventh stated.
"Yes."
"Brother…" the sixth turned to the seventh and said, "I will be on my way to the Xavier kingdom."
"Good luck."
"Are you sure you don't want to take over the Xavier kingdom? It's the biggest kingdom of the Sea Realms," the sixth asked with a curious yet calm look on his face.
"Yeah, I am sure." The seventh chuckled and said, "I already have a lot of responsibilities on my shoulder."
The sixth left for the Xavier kingdom, while the rest returned to Atlantis.
"So…" Zach glanced at the seventh from the corner of his eyes and asked, "What do I have to do to send them back? And how Am I supposed to get out of here?"
"Use the spell to control the Sea. Open a portal and send them back," the seventh responded in a rather monotonous voice.
Zach imagined a portal in the Sea, but it didn't work. So he tried his own way.
He created a colossal hand from the Seawater and grabbed all the players in it. Then, he flung them into the Sea so hard that they came out of the other end.
"…" the seventh shot a glance at Zach.
"What? It worked!" Zach shrugged his shoulders and said, "And that was way better than your suggestion."
"Heh!" the seventh scoffed softly and said, "Would you throw your friends the same way?"
"Nope."
"You are just like your father," the seventh chuckled.
"…!" Surprised and shocked, Zach raised his brows and asked, "You… knew my father…?"
"I know you too. Don't you remember how you used to pull my beard all the time?"
"Uhhh… I don't. Who are you?"
"Well, I would blame you for not remembering me. You were only three years old at that time."
The seventh jumped and changed his form into a 24 tentacled sea monster.
"…!"
"Do you remember me now?" the seventh asked.
"No way…! Uncle Tis?!" Zach exclaimed.
"Ahaha!" the seventh changed into human form and said, "Yes. I am surprised you still remember me."
"Wow! I… don't know what to say." Zach was genuinely happy after knowing that the seventh was his uncle Tis.
"I also didn't recognize you the first time. But when I looked into your eyes, I knew for sure that you are Zach," the seventh asserted. "Maybe I should have revealed myself sooner."
"Wait… so the reason why you were acting differently with me was because of my father…?" Zach asked with a curious and judging look on his face.
"…"
"Reality is often disappointing," Zach uttered with a sigh.
"What's with the deep quote? And that sigh in the end just hit me hard, bro…" the seventh uttered in a disdainful tone.
"I am… tired of being recognized because of my father. It's like… it's like I am always overshadowed by him…"
"Oh? Are you jealous of him?"
"This has nothing to do with jealousy, Uncle Tis. But as long as I am being recognized as his son, I will never be able to surpass him," Zach remarked. "You should know it."
'You have no idea that you were created to surpass him…' the seventh uttered inwardly.
Aria squinted her eyes at Zach and the seventh and wondered, 'If the Sea God himself was scared of Zach's father, then he has to be a strong entity. Zach did say that he inherited his father's blood, but he didn't receive his power. I honestly thought that was a joke, but I should have known that Zach never lies.'

Author's Note- I went for the check-up, and the doctor told me to get a swab test. Luckily, the results came out negative.
I am halfway through the second chapter.. It should be done in an hour.
