Chapter 226 Invincible Formation
Okeanos's antenane twitched as he heard this creature known as a 'genie' say he needed to solve another riddle He decided he would hear her out for once
"Ok Tell me what your riddle is," said Okeanos
"Really!?" The genie sounded genuinely happy She then materialized behind the wall of sand soldiers, in front of the golden sarcophagus She was a tan skinned girl with loose, baggy white pants and a billowing golden cloak covering ues of fire, and her lengthy black hair floated in the air like she was underwater
"Don't regret this - this riddle of mine is incredibly difficult!"
"Ok," said Okeanos
"Here I go!" The genie coughed into her hand to clear her throat and then began "Many people have me but do not want me When I am in someone's head, I make thery When I am in someone's arht about this for ainto overdrive His eyes narrowed in intense thought After several dramatic seconds, he nodded to himself
"Oh? Have you found out, intruder!?" said the genie
"Yes," said Okeanos He declared confidently, "I don't know"
The genie made a shocked face "What!? How can you say that with so much confidence!?"
"I can think fast, but it doesn't help with this riddle," said Okeanos in wondering voice His mind could process extreme calculations that let him know exactly how , where they were going to go based on vibrational input on his antennae, and things like that, but calculating fast did not seem to helphim here
What a disappointht he could have a chance to show off his big brain
But wait Okeanos was supposed to be s

"Hm?" Okeanos looked at the sand soldiers They were unharht past them
"In this toenie "You cannot brute force this This is meant to be a test of wits!"
"You think I cannot do this?" Okeanos felt his pride as the king of the oceans challenged He would show this 'genie' he could outs"
Okeanos started to circle back and forth around the wall of sand soldiers, looking for an opening to get to the genie He y boosted moveot her, the source of all these constructs, he could end this
"Wh-what are you planning!?" said the genie Her head whipped around rapidly as she tried desperately keep up with Okeanos's rapid movements, but she was too physically weak to even re dizzy trying to keep you in et dizzy and used this chance while she was distracted There were aps leading to the genie He shot forward through one of these gaps
With nigh instantaneous reaction and speed, the soldiers shi+fted their forain He s out another crater
