Everyone in the audience was astounded by what they saw. Everyone was wondering, "How did one sword become two swords?!"

"Looks like the battle hasn't yet been resolved", Sasaki remarked with a grin.
Poseidon still kept his indifferent expression and said, "I can end this whenever I wish."
Nobody gave this any thought.
As Sasaki resumed the fight, he effortlessly deflected Poseidon's attacks. But, in contrast to his previous fighting style, he began using a variety of techniques to strike Poseidon. All of the swordsmen from Sasaki's time appeared to be staring at Sasaki with amazement and wonder. And what was the cause of it? It was because Sasaki was using their techniques and displayed complete mastery over it.
Even after passing away, he still continued to battle his opponents in his head until he was completely satisfied with the outcome.
Sasaki took a more aggressive stance this time and continued to attack Poseidon, but unlike his previous attacks, which seemed to phase through him, this one grazed him. Although the attack had no major physical effect, it hurt Poseidon's pride. A fight wasn't just physical, it was also mental. Something truly miraculous happened. This was a historical moment when the Untouchable God was both touched and cut.
But something happened before anyone could begin to applaud Sasaki. Everyone in the arena felt immense pressure. If they were all 1106 meters above sea level a moment ago, they were now all 1106 meters below. Even the Gods struggled to deal with this pressure, which nearly destroyed all of humanity. Ares came close to falling out of his chair. What was the source of this overwhelming pressure? Poseidon.
However, before anyone could recover, something even more shocking occurred. Poseidon began to whistle. It would have been a truly beautiful sight if not for Poseidon's terrifying expression and the insane amount of pressure he was exerting.

Everyone started shivering incessantly. People were reminded of Zeus in his Adamas appearance. Everyone's survival instinct was screaming.
Poseidon straightened his hair with his own blood.
Poseidon increased his muscle mass in an instant, whether it was due to his sheer will or the god's inherent ability, which was the last thing Sasaki worried about.
Then, in a thunderous voice, as though God appeared to be upset with his creations.
"So you claim to have read me entirely is that so...?"
Before Sasaki could react, Poseidon appeared behind him, as if teleported. His attack landed precisely on Sasaki's shoulders, ripping through the shoulder blade. Nobody (except Zeus) could keep up with the attack, not even the high gods. "Looks like Poseidon-chan is finally getting serious," Loki said, chuckling.
"You couldn't be any further from the truth peasant.", Poseidon declared in a demonic tone.
Poseidon yelled, "Medusa, Alope Demeter!" It was an attack that resulted in the creation of a dome made from Poseidon's After images. An utterly impossible feat. He was attacking from every angle imaginable. Sasaki isn't even given time to breathe or blink. An unbeatable technique based solely on speed.
Humanity finally came to understand who these beings known as Gods truly were. They are monstrous. They're all there. And Poseidon was a monster among monsters. The most terrifying monster ever to have existed. The very definition of "God." Every God, including Zeus, was taken aback; they knew Poseidon was powerful, and if he had been born in any other pantheon other than the Greek, he could easily compete for the title of Supreme God.
However, everyone had to admit that the Greek Pantheon was made up entirely of monsters.
Sasaki was barely able to block the attacks until he noticed a blindspot and attacked Poseidon. Unfortunately for Sasaki, this was done on purpose; Poseidon appeared to have phased through Sasaki's attacks. It was as if Poseidon was mocking Sasaki by out-predicting the Ultimate Scanner.
Despair struck Sasaki once more; he had faced many adversaries during his life and even after his death, but never had he faced one so overwhelming, terrifying, and unrelenting. Sasaki imagined himself being pulled by the dark bottomless ocean. He saw his life flashing in front of him. All the people he respected and despised faded away before him.
Then, out of nowhere, someone handed Sasaki a hand in the middle of the darkness, and then more hands appeared. He realized that they were all the people who had put their trust in him. Everyone in the arena began chanting Sasaki's name and making sword-like motions with their hands. The actions of humans baffled all the gods.
Then Sasaki began dodging Poseidon's attacks. The gods began to panic. "I never expected the fight to take such an unexpected turn," Loki said with an eerie smile.
Huginn and Munnin were getting restless, and Odin appeared serious. Shiva smiled and said, "I feel the end is near." Zeus was silent and appeared to be in deep thought.
Sasaki then moved closer to Poseidon, who gave him a chilly stare. They then took their positions in front of one another. Posedion's towering figure overshadowed Sasaki.
Then Poseidon attempted to strike, but Sasaki blocked the blow and severed Poseidon's arm, or so it would have been if Sasaki hadn't started coughing up blood.
Everyone was taken aback and perplexed as to why Sasaki was coughing up blood; he had been injured, but not to the extent that he would cough blood so profusely.
Then with a chilling voice, Poseidon stated "Remember what I said before"
Everyone, except Odin, Zeus, and Hermes, was perplexed as to what he was talking about. Though they already had a theory, they didn't want to accept it.
Then Sasaki understood what he was saying. Then fear took over, consuming him.
"I can end this whenever I want," Sasaki and Poseidon said in perfect harmony.
Everyone felt dread after hearing it. Wasn't this what Poseidon said a few minutes ago?
"But how? "Sasaki questioned the question. Almost everyone questioned this internally.
"My title as the Supreme God of the Seas appears to cause people to forget that I am also the Supreme God of Water; they are similar yet distinct; not all gods of the sea are gods of water, and do you know a frightening fact (for you). The human body contains nearly 60% water. I have molecular-level control over water, which surpasses it. There are numerous gods of water and seas, but the Volund acts as a barrier against multiple levels of ability, effectively transforming the mortal into a god, but it cannot completely prevent the ability of a powerful god. So you should know what I did to you."
"That means" Sasaki's face was ghostly pale, possibly due to despair, blood loss, or both.
"Yes, it is just as you think, any being other than a divinity will instantly lose against me, no matter how strong they are. You never stood a chance."
Then Poseidon began leaving the arena with the same indifferent face he had arrived with, never looking back. Heimdall was about to stop him when he heard a thud and looked back.
Sasaki was laying on the ground when blood began to flow, and he and hrist began to break apart before flying into the air.
Humanity had broken down. Geir began crying. Brunhilde fell into despair. The end is near, and everyone can see it as clear as water.
