113: If you can't beat them, join them! Be loyal to the Iceborn!

On the ice plain, a deathly silence reigned.

All the Iceborn Clan warriors stood frozen in place, like ice-sealed sculptures.

Their huge bear mouths were unconsciously agape, their dull gazes following the ten terrifying tentacles that rose and fell like giant siege hammers.

Each time a tentacle smashed down, it was like a heavy hammer striking their hearts!

Boom!!!

Boom!!!

Boom!!!

Ice shards mixed with frozen earth and crimson blood continuously splattered.

Their invincible, god-like King was now like a wooden stake hammered into the ground, suffering mad torment without any power to resist!

"El... Elder..."

A polar bear mechanically turned its head to look at Iron Claw, who was equally petrified beside him, its voice trembling violently from extreme fear.

"Is the King... still 'showing deference'? If he... continues to 'show deference'... the King... the King will be beaten to death by that 'cub'..."

However,

Iron Claw's face had long lost its previous ferocity and forced disdain, leaving only complete pallor and despair.

He stared blankly at the constantly sinking ice pit, his lips trembling.

He unconsciously muttered repeatedly:

"It's over... it's all over... the Iceborn Clan's ten-thousand-year foundation... is over... Blue Star... will also be over... everything is over..."

He had anticipated that the King might fall into a bitter struggle,

He even thought the King might be defeated... but he never dreamed it would be like this... a thorough, crushing, despair-inducing massacre!

The King was as fragile as a toy in front of the Kraken!

On the distant ice mountain,

Aria's worried expression had completely solidified, replaced by unparalleled shock.

Her red lips hadn't closed since Su Chen swung his first tentacle.

She had thought Su Chen would have to use his trump card, the Abyssal Spider Emperor transformation, to barely contend with the Bearman King.

But this subversive scene shattered her inherent understanding!

She knew Su Chen possessed some terrifying devouring and evolving ability, so while she was surprised by his promotion to Tier 40 in just a few days, it wasn't incomprehensible.

But... his strength surged by over sixty thousand points?!

In just a few days,

His base strength soared from a few thousand points to over seventy thousand?!

How is this possible?!

This can no longer be explained by devouring and evolving!

This is simply... altering the rules of the world!

"How... how did this Big Guy... do it?!"

Due to extreme shock, Aria's voice carried a hint of imperceptible tremor.

She had repeatedly raised her evaluation of Su Chen,

But the other party always managed to refresh her cognitive limit with even more violent methods, time and time again!

Just as countless shocked, fearful, and despairing gazes watched—

Whoosh!

One of Su Chen's tentacles, like a precise excavator, suddenly plunged into the messy deep pit, wrapped around something, and then... pulled it out with a fierce tug!

Like pulling a giant radish from the ground, the heavily injured Bearman King Enuoke was lifted out of the pit, wrapped in a tentacle.

At this moment, he was utterly miserable.

The thousand-foot ice armor around him, condensed from ten-thousand-year-old ice, had completely shattered and peeled off, revealing his true form, which was originally covered in white fur.

But that true form was now also a bloody mess, with large amounts of fur torn off, and blood gushing from countless lacerations, staining him into a tragic blood bear.

His aura was extremely weak; where was the majesty of an Awakening Level Overlord he had before?

He struggled to open the only eye he could barely crack open,

And in his gaze towards Su Chen, only the most primitive plea and trembling remained.

"Sp... Spare... my life... Your Excellency... spare my life..."

His voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz, laced with a sob.

"Spare your life?"

A trace of undisguised mockery flashed in Su Chen's huge compound eyes.

"Heh heh, if I eat you, I can not only perfectly inherit your B-rank Ice Talent, but also gain at least ten thousand points or more in base attributes! Do you think... I would let go of fat meat that's already in my mouth?!"

As he spoke,

The tentacle lifted Enuoke's hundred-meter 'petite' body high, sending it towards the giant, abyss-like maw filled with sharp white teeth.

The terrifying shadow of death instantly enveloped Enuoke completely; he was so frightened that he didn't even have the strength to struggle, only able to emit desperate whimpers.

However, at this moment—

"Great Kraken! Wait—!!!"

An old and anxious voice, like tearing cloth, rang out, forcefully causing Su Chen to pause his movements.

Su Chen's huge eyeballs rotated, his gaze falling upon the source of the sound.

He saw the Iceborn Clan Old Shaman, who had presided over the sacrifice earlier, rush out of the army formation at some point, kneeling heavily on the cold frozen earth with both knees.

In the most humble posture, he deeply kowtowed towards Su Chen!

"Great Kraken! Please spare our King's life! Our Iceborn Clan is willing to submit to you as a whole! From now on, we will serve you diligently, brave any danger, and never flinch even in death!"

"Great Priest! You!"

Elder Iron Claw's face changed drastically upon hearing these words, and he urgently said:

"Didn't you divine before that this Kraken was a variable that would disrupt fate and lead to world destruction?! If we submit to him now, aren't we just seeking our own doom and will still be buried with him in the future?!"

"That was then, this is now!"

The Old Shaman suddenly raised his head, his cloudy old eyes now burning with an almost fanatical, brilliant light!

"The original divination was indeed so! But the supreme power that Your Excellency has now displayed... which transcends common sense and tramples on laws, has shown this old man hope for a breakthrough!"

His voice trembled with excitement: "Your Excellency has only been born for just over a month! Yet you can, with a Tier 40 body, crush a Tier 105 Awakening Level Overlord! What shocking potential is this?! What a heaven-defying fate?!"

"This old man believes! With Your Excellency's unprecedented evolution speed and supreme power, you will surely be able to break through all future crises! And even lead my Iceborn Clan... to unprecedented prosperity and flourishing!!!"

"Please, Your Excellency—accept the Iceborn Clan's most devout loyalty!!!"

With that, the Old Shaman once again slammed his forehead against the ice.

Tens of thousands of Iceborn Clan warriors looked at each other, at their utterly miserable King, at the unfathomable Kraken, and then at the Great Priest kneeling in surrender... Crash! Crash! Crash!—!!!

Like falling dominoes, all the Iceborn warriors dropped their weapons and knelt down like a tide, burying their heads deeply in the cold snow.

"Great Kraken! Please accept our clan's loyalty!!"

The earth-shattering cries of surrender echoed across the ice plain.

In the Divine Summer army formation behind, the warriors were in an uproar at this sudden turn of events.

"No way? They surrendered just like that?! If you can't beat them, join them?"

"Hahaha! Good news! These polar bears aren't weak; if we can really recruit them, we'll have a few more chances against the Shadow Scale Clan!"

"Exactly! Our Divine Summer's strength has grown again!"
