There was conflict in the once steady seas. A great shadow appeared in the depths, slowly growing larger as it neared the surface. Likewise, the tides grew turbulent and uneven, causing dismay in the deep.
As the waters rose up from the surface, what would seem to be a haunt from the past congregated from the waters into the shape of a grand serpentine head of pure, complete water. As the head shot up toward the sky like a geyser, the distinction between aqueous bodies of the serpent and the ocean were completely unclear, as though they were one and the same. It was unknown where nor how this creature came to be, yet it was already one with the ocean, and with the opening of its chaotic eye, all the waters raged like a vicious storm. The Leviathan had awoken once again.

~At the next moment, Ty would also be able to see where every single head of Orochi was located at the time through his Third Eye, and at those marks, he would swing his arm to dice each of the spots where Orochi's heads connected to the main body with the ethereal energy of the blade projected into each of those locations, since the energy that he was able to omit from the 'King Blade' was able to reach anywhere within his established Presence. This would appear to be him slashing wildly at Orochi whilst his Commanding head was moving, but this was actually to hack at the other 7 the very moment they revealed themselves in the Veritas' reality. Not only would a connected slash sever their ties to the Veritas and isolate their realities as only individual heads, but also this would also sever their connection to their tails.~
The image of the 'Prayer Beads' surrounding the Greenhouse area would 'Project' itself around Tao's neck, thus binding Tiamat at the same time with the power of the presence of this land and the Master of the Presence, itself.
Through the synchronization of each of the Shinsangels and the Shinsanities, the subduing Prayer Beads that were once only on Tao and Tia's necks would be projected also around the necks of the severed dragon heads of Orochi, preventing them from being able to grow back, as well as establishing a set dominant influence belonging to the Tensei that would prevent Orochi's regeneration without first overpowering the binding forces of the sentient beings fighting against his presence within the Veritas. Though he was assimilated with the Veritas, the realm was fighting back against him, and therefore gave him a power struggle in addition to Ty's Presence as a while that were the individual wills and consciousness of the 7 Shinsangels that protected the Veritas. Thus, in order to overcome the Veritas, or even have any sort of control over any part of the Veritas, as well as the ability to regenerate any of the lost heads, Orochi would have to overcome all 7 of the Shinsangels.
~Each tail was slung at a high speed toward the respective targets, which were the 7 headless nubs of Orochi and where the dragon spawn were probably still wriggling about. Each spiritual hurricane was cast down upon the Veritas like a paintbrush upon paper, where the true artwork could be colored in fine detail by each tail working in tandem to create a greater story, now, and not working against each other individually. Through harmonizing with Orochi, the tactics of how each head and tail worked in harmony would be applied immediately to the 7 Shinsangels, as well. From there, through that connection, Tiamat would be able to paint each of the heads of the Veritas upon the headless nubs from where the Prayer Beads connected and assume complete control of the hijacked body, as well as each of its tails.~
From a passing storm, there was a thick trident that shot down from the sky straight for Leviathan's brain, hurdling at a speed what one would believe like lightning. It would strike the ocean.
Immediately
There was conflict in the once steady seas. A great shadow appeared in the depths, slowly growing larger as it neared the surface. Likewise, the tides grew turbulent and uneven, causing dismay in the deep.
"All Hail King Neptune..." bellowed a voice like thunder as the entire Ocean of Purity rolled over his shoulders and his head poked up from the abyss, glaring at the measly headless worm that would have dared to take over the sea that was part of its body. Triton, the beast of the sea, would raise his trident up in triumph at what should have been total victory over Leviathan immediately.
Leviathan sensed something coming long before it reached him. Instinctively, as if receiving warning prior to the attack telepathically, he would snake his way around the pointed tips of the trident and coil himself about the length of the weapon as it touched the ocean. "... It Is Mine..." he uttered lowly, extending his tail further down the trident's base and around the hand of this 'mighty king' of the sea. "You Were Careless, Haughty One!" With Leviathan wrapped firmly around Triton's weapon, the tail of the snake would constrict Triton's grip on it and simultaneously pry it from his hand and into Leviathan's possession, whilst his head, just as large as the one that glared him in the face, would lash immediately at those haughty eyes that dared find themselves superior. The dragon's head, like that of a viper, struck just as quickly as the tongue of the snake to speak ill of Triton's shortcomings and misdeeds, and would ram into him with the might of a great tsunami crashing upon a continent, with great gallons of venom as torrential as the tides prepped for injection as soon as contact was made with Triton's voluminous oceanic body.
The very moment Triton felt the lowly worm wriggle its way around his arm wielding the trident, he sneered at the creature in disgust, nearly wanting to drop his weapon. "Ew," was all he could muster before the constriction of the snake's body tightened and attempted to pry the weapon from his hand. In the very same instant, the long neck lashed out like a viper, only to be snatched by the free hand of Triton shooting up from the depths of the sea, firmly grasping the joint just below the head to ensure the snake could not move once it lashed out. "... The Filthy Wyrm Lives..." Triton's hand crushed the neck of Leviathan with the force of all the oceanic pressures of the water, ensuring that, even if his neck weren't broken then and there, then at the very least, his head was not moving from that spot. The next thing he would do would be to unravel Leviathan from his trident like a string of spaghetti from a rolled up fork, snatching it back out of the envious being's grasp and back into only Triton's possession.
Triton knew that to allow Leviathan into the ocean would be bad, so instead, the waters rose to their highest, bringing the entire Ocean of Purity to an immediate dryness and all the water into the body of Triton, which stood high above the clouds, which rolled over his shoulder and assimilated with his colossal body as garments of what one would deem a cape or robe, hovering loosely in the air and hiding Triton's face. Leviathan did not deserve to be looked at, anyway, nor have the grace of seeing Triton's face. These two would never see eye to eye, and this filthy snake would remain at the bottom of the sea as an envious bottom feeder, where he belonged. In this case, the bottom of the sea was under the gargantuan boot of Triton, of which Leviathan would, after being snatched from the trident, be hurled down to quickly, where Triton's foot of decisiveness would slam down with the force of all the water on the planet crashing into a single concentrated spot, and the resulting force, instead of spreading outward as it would normally, would invert itself to compress around only Triton's foot, leaving the rest of the land unscathed by this force and that much extra damage compacted unto Leviathan's body.
The great sea creature, Leviathan, would not be done away with so easily. His strength was in his neck and his body was hard enough to survive the pressures of the very bottom of the ocean, making such a feeble attempt to break him come to naught but uselessness. "You Don't Deserve This Power..." he hissed with a sickeningly raspy voice after being unraveled from the trident, "... You Are No King Of Anything... I Am King Of The Sea!!!" Even as Triton grew and Leviathan was hurled to the ground, he still spake ill of the 'sea king,' and both his eyes and body would begin to glow brightly after seeing the foot raised to stomp on him. "All Creatures Of The Deep And Land Fear Me!" Leviathan was aware that even this would not be able to break his body. There was nothing that could penetrate his nigh impervious hide. As the foot came down, scorching fire spewed from his mouth hot enough to bring even the deep sea to a boil and to evaporate any form of water that came in contact with it. As he breathed his supernaturally hot fire, Leviathan, himself, would slither just out of the way of the foot of whose sole should have been completely burnt off.
Since the force of impact was compressed to that single spot, upon evasion, Leviathan would be left unscathed. Though he was much smaller than Triton was now, Leviathan was still 300 miles wide and could definitely very easily still pose a threat, as would even the smallest venomous serpent to a full-grown man, of which the scaling of this scenario mimicked. His glowing eyes stayed locked on Triton and his weapon of power as the sea creature slithered upon the now grounded foot of Triton and up his leg swiftly.
Triton, taken aback by the sudden intense heat upon the sole of his booted foot, would detach his leg from his body as the pain shot up, yet retain control over the body part as though still part of the sea, allowing the regenerative power of the Ocean of Purity that made up his entire body to heal the wound exponentially swiftly before the snake slithered up. "... I see no crown upon your head." The moment Leviathan touched the leg, it would liquefy back into water, sucking in the serpent and contorting around his body as a giant sphere which would move in every way Leviathan did in order to keep him contained. "What would you do with Power?" Triton asked as his leg reformed, making sure to keep Leviathan contained inside of the water. Though it was clear that Leviathan could burn away the water with his blazing hot breath, Triton could continuously generate volumes more than the fire could extinguish and flood Leviathan before he could escape the large bubble of water encompassing him like a fish bowl.
Leviathan roared with fury upon being captured so easily, searing fire screeching from his tonsils with the same vehemence as his boiling anger. "WITH POWER, I WOULD ASSERT MY DOMINANCE OVER ARROGANT FOOLS LIKE YOU AND PUT YOU ALL IN YOUR PLACE!!!" The body of the creature wriggled about in the water, swimming like a fish to escape, and burning as much of the water around him as possible. Eventually, it would all become nothing but vapor. "Then, I Would Go Across The Entire Planet And Have Everyone Know That I, Leviathan, Was Most Powerful! None Would Question My Authority Nor My Supreme Reign!" No matter how much water came to contain him, Leviathan would continue to spew torrents of fire to evaporate it until he was free.
"... I Have Heard Enough." From a response like that, it was clear why Leviathan had no power, save for over those who were weaker than him, which he seemed to want everyone to be. Triton would have nothing of such a creature placing its filthy tail upon any sort of throne, for all that would be under his power would be tyranny and destruction. That much was all too clear. "As Much As You Burn Away My Ocean From Around You, I May Reform It Thoroughly To Encase You Again, Even From Water Molecules In The Air." At his spoken word, even with his head nowhere to be seen above the clouds, the water would instantly reform and retain around Leviathan, the evaporated water merely collecting again and cooling rapidly, once again, as a circular fish bowl around his body. "Not Only This, You've Already Long Since Breathed My Waters. In An Instant, I May Strip All The Liquid From Your Body And Leave You As Naught But Scale And Bone."
It was very clear that Triton had far greater power and authority over Leviathan, especially in his own element and in his own land, and that this creature's efforts of struggle were hopeless. As disgusting as a being it was, who constantly sought out the power of someone else merely to prove how powerful he was, and became enraged the longer he did not have it to throw around recklessly, Triton, knowing what it meant to have power, would spare his life for as long as possible and attempt to reason with the creature. "... Why Should I Allow You To Live...?" If Leviathan could not prove that he had a useful existence besides being an envious snake seeking to snatch the crown and scepter of anyone he came across for power he could not find in and of himself, then Triton would extinguish his life without further question. However, if Leviathan were able to answer this question with a pleasing answer, then Triton would extend his life, of which he held the power to end here and now.
