Trident of the Sea God
The Trident of the Sea God is the final objective of the Destiny Sea Chart quest and the instrument through which Du Ge, acting as Paul, releases the power of the sea.
History
The trident remains inaccessible until the assembled Destiny Sea Chart and Golden Compass lead the competing fleets to the place of greatest danger. During the final underwater battle, Enke retrieves the golden staff and places it in Du Ge's hands while Janice's ice attacks are wearing him down. Du Ge uses it to destroy the rival fleets, after which the reborn Janice takes hold of it but cannot draw out its power until Du Ge authorizes her. She is its final wielder when the simulation closes. (Chapters 169–183)
Abilities and properties
Merely holding the trident does not activate it. Du Ge carves the character for “fish” into its surface with the Dragon Sword, then strokes the staff and makes it his private property through his Plunder-derived skill. The response clears his lungs, makes the surrounding water hospitable, and lets him drive the sea into a fleet-destroying whirlpool, but rapidly consumes his strength and life force. Even Janice, the Sea God's daughter, cannot use it while that ownership restriction remains; only after adopting a fish name, accepting Du Ge's touch, and receiving his authorization can she release its golden power, which restores Du Ge and infuses them both with the Sea God's power. (Chapter 183)
Ownership and custody
| Holder or custodian | Relationship to the item |
|---|---|
| Du Ge | Received the recovered trident, converted it into his private property, wielded it against the fleets, and retained authority over its use even after Janice took hold of it. (Chapter 183) |
| Janice | Took physical custody after her rebirth and became the final wielder, but could release its power only with Du Ge's authorization; no later custody is established after the simulation. (Chapter 183) |
