155: Chapter 155 Superstar

Time: Half a month later.

Location: Pacific Rim Dimension.

"Global viewers, welcome to the most popular show today, King of Monsters!"

"I'm your good friend, Nana," a woman in a tight-fitting outfit said excitedly to the camera, her clothes stretched into enticing curves, her chest excessively full.

"As you can see, we are currently in the city of Drakensdorp on the South African Continent. The Category 6 Kaiju 'Black Coffee' is destroying the city behind me. This is just terrible!"

Nana had the cameraman turn the lens toward the smoke-filled city blocks behind her.

"As everyone can see, there is severe damage along 'Black Coffee’s' path. We've just received news that the local authorities are urgently evacuating residents, but many elderly people and children are still trapped in the city. Let's go interview them."

With that, the beautiful Nana found her target: a Black man half-buried in the rubble, with only his upper body exposed.

"Sir, how do you feel about your home being destroyed?" Nana handed over the microphone, the camera following closely.

The Black man spat out blood and foam: "Dili-dulu dili-dulu." (Zulu: Help me.)

"What did you say, sir? I don't understand. You look like you're in bad shape. Do you need help?"

"Jili-guala!"

"Sir, could you please speak English?"

"Bitch..."

"Oh! My God!" Nana exclaimed in a tone that was both surprised and slightly humorous, turning to the camera:

"Viewers, did you hear that? This poor gentleman, in such a moment of crisis, is actually using language to express his anger and despair! The word 'Bitch' here is clearly not meant literally, but as a strong indictment of the Kaiju 'Black Coffee'! This fully demonstrates the unyielding spirit of humanity in the face of disaster!"

"This spirit moves me. Let's continue..." After walking a few steps away, Nana suddenly looked at the sky and exclaimed excitedly, "Look, our King of Monsters has arrived!"

In the sky above the city, six transport helicopters appeared, with thick steel cables suspending a huge wooden lounge chair. The chair was covered with a thick, exceptionally soft-looking white cushion, and there was a clear, prominent company logo on the back of the chair.

The Super Venomous Female, who had three tails, was on it, slowly flying in from the distance.

Nana: "Viewers! That is the chair made for the King of Monsters by Bourne Oak. Thanks to Bourne Oak for their support of our program. Chairs of the same style are available in all major online malls. Please show your support!"

As the helicopters drew closer to the ground, Venom, lying on the lounge chair, lazily raised its eyes. With a gaze bordering on contempt, it scanned the roaring Category 6 Kaiju 'Black Coffee' below. This was a creature resembling a combination of a flood dragon and a crocodile, entirely black with thick biological scales.

Seemingly annoyed by the noise, Venom rose from the lounge chair and leaped down. Its massive body instantly kicked up countless flying rocks, and a shockwave spread violently in a circular pattern.

Looking at the Kaiju in front of it, which was about the same size as itself, Venom's voice was deep and magnetic:

"Little crocodile, you have successfully caught my attention."

The shockwave caused the live camera to shake violently. Nana had to grab onto the nearby ruins to steady herself, but the excitement on her face reached its peak: "Viewers! Did you see that! This is the entrance of a King! This is the voice of a King! It's simply too domineering!"

The confrontation between the two Kaiju brought the show's popularity to its peak. On one side was a powerful Category 6 Kaiju, and on the other was the most popular Kaiju, Venom. As a savior standing on the side of humanity, its image and merchandise had already spread all over the world, gaining countless fans.

Venom's voice drove these fans into a frenzy.

[Ahhh! This voice is killing me! It's clearly a Kaiju, why is its voice so smooth!]

[Help! He called me little crocodile! I'm changing my name to Little Crocodile!]

[Lord Venom! Please take me head-on!]

...And so on. It truly made people marvel that it was indeed the star with the most fans globally.

On the battlefield, although 'Black Coffee' could not understand the language, it could clearly feel the other's contempt. As a Category 6 Kaiju, it already had a fair amount of intelligence. While Venom was showing off, it immediately whipped its tail across.

The massive force struck Venom's side squarely. With a dull, heavy thud, Venom crashed through three dilapidated buildings before coming to a stop, looking rather pathetic.

"Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga—"

Black Coffee let out a mocking laugh, which annoyed Venom. Its massive body rose from the ruins, "How bold, you actually dare to offend me!"

The physical collision began as the two Kaiju wrestled together, creating a massive commotion.

PPDC Command Room.

Lin Fang frowned as he watched the battle on the screen. After a moment, he asked, "What did you show it?"

The Talent Hunt Project had netted Lin Fang a group of scientists. Seeing that they were fairly well-behaved, just a bit overly curious, Lin Fang had just entered the Pacific Rim Dimension when he witnessed this scene.

Venom had been unreliable before, but it hadn't been this ridiculous. What was with this full-blown 'overbearing CEO' style?

"Excellency,"

Teks, who had been reinstated as the PPDC Commander-in-Chief, did not dare to be negligent toward this child. After some consideration, he said: "The situation is like this. After you left last time, Venom helped us eliminate most of the Kaiju. During that time, several conglomerates saw its commercial potential and contacted Venom privately. They prepared the world's top PR and image planning teams to build a commercial image for Venom as the King of Monsters."

"Venom agreed. In exchange, these conglomerates have to provide a large number of brains every day."

Lin Fang was speechless and nodded to show he understood.

A man wearing glasses next to him, who looked like a consultant, hurriedly added: "Yes, Excellency. We carefully selected many popular films and television works such as 'The King's Man' and 'Interstellar Emperor, Don't Kiss Me' as behavioral references for Venom. Moreover, Venom's learning ability is very strong; it really enjoys the feeling of being in the spotlight and being sought after by the masses."

Lin Fang: "What are you trying to say?"

The consultant adjusted his glasses and said with a smile: "As far as I know, Excellency, you are the true savior. As long as you are willing to step forward and debut as the 'Master of the King of Monsters,' the world's worship and wealth will all fall under your command. We can create an even more perfect image for you..."

Lin Fang looked at him.

They're actually trying to scheme against me now?

The consultant felt a bit unnerved by Lin Fang's gaze, but he still managed to maintain a professional smile: "Excellency, what do you think?"
