128: A cataclysmic tsunami! The destruction of Sheikha?!
Her voice became intermittent due to extreme shock.
An incredible thought struck her mind like lightning!
"You... you have... from the very beginning... insighted that this guy's weakness lay in that Main Serpent Head, right?!"
"You kept enduring... kept taking attacks... even willing to be beaten to a pulp... just to paralyze It... until this very moment when Its Main Serpent Head launched a full attack and couldn't easily dodge..."
"And then... you used the characteristics of your Space Talent that ignores physical defense... to launch this fatal blow!!!"
Aria looked sharply down at the figure that, although battered and broken, still stood tall, her voice changing pitch:
"Big Guy... you... are you really only a little over a month old?! Your combat instincts... your ruthlessness and decisiveness... how could... how could they be so seasoned?!!"
Space Talent is indeed powerful, ignoring defense, and can be called a trump card.
But its flaws are equally obvious—it requires time to charge, and the spatial fluctuations generated during charging are easily detected and dodged by strong individuals with keen perception!
And Su Chen... from the start of the battle until now! Letting his body be ravaged! Letting intense pain rack his body! He had perfectly hidden the spatial fluctuations of this fatal blow... beneath the violent energy collisions and his own horrific injuries!!! Not a single trace was leaked!
This endurance! This grasp of the opportunity of battle! This ruthlessness of not striking unless necessary, and when striking, ensuring a kill! It was simply like an old monster that had been fighting in a sea of blood and corpses for thousands of years!
This... is simply not the combat proficiency that a 'cub' born only a month ago should possess!
Aria looked at Su Chen, as if for the first time... truly recognizing this mysterious Kraken...
Bearman King Enuoke's snow-white fur had long since been stained mottled and unsightly by the dark golden divine blood splattered across the sky.
He tilted his massive bear head, mouth agape, staring blankly at the giant serpent head falling like a mountain, as well as the colossal serpent body that was beginning to topple.
Time seemed to freeze for a few seconds. Then— "HOLY — — — — SHIT!!!!!!!"
A bear roar that sounded like a cracked voice, mixed with extreme ecstasy and disbelief, exploded, almost overturning the air above the sea surface!
"It's dead! It's dead!!! This Yamata no Orochi is really dead!!!"
Enuoke's massive bear paws frantically pounded his chest, making dull thuds like a beating drum, so excited he was incoherent:
"Master! Master, you are too awesome!!! Recognizing you as my Master! This is absolutely the wisest decision of my bear life, Enuoke! Without a doubt!!!"
This roar, filled with the ecstasy of surviving a disaster, was like a spark igniting a fuse! BOOM!!!!!!!!!
The dead-silent land of Divine Summer was instantly ignited!
【We won! His Highness Kraken has won!!!】
【Yamata no Orochi has been beheaded! We are saved! Divine Summer is saved!!!】
【Sob sob sob... Your Highness... I knew you would definitely be able to create a miracle!】
【Long live! Long live His Highness Kraken! Long live Divine Summer!!!】
Cries, laughter, shouts, cheers... converged into an unprecedented wave of sound, breaking through the previous despair and gloom, resounding in every corner of Divine Summer!
People hugged each other and wept, venting the excitement of surviving the disaster to their hearts' content!
In the frontline command room, the heavy atmosphere was instantly broken!
"Good!!!" Marshal Lei Zhen slammed a fist onto the control console, making the cups jump, his tiger eyes filled with tears, yet he laughed with immense relief!
"Well done! As expected of Kraken!"
Marshal Qin Zhenshan clenched his fists tightly, his voice trembling with excitement.
All the generals and staff officers couldn't help but cheer, and many even jumped up in excitement!
That immense joy of returning to the world from Hell made even these iron-blooded men unable to restrain themselves!
Qin Zheng's hand, which was gripping the armrest tightly, finally slowly loosened, and he let out a long, long sigh of relief, releasing the stifled breath he had held for too long.
He watched the figure on the screen that, although battered, still stood tall, his eyes filled with indescribable gratitude and... a trace of lingering fear.
Listening to the cheers like a mountain-toppling, sea-draining roar in his ears, and feeling the surging Power Of Faith pouring into his body like a warm current, Su Chen's battered Spider Emperor body swayed slightly, and he grinned, letting out a hoarse but somewhat smug laugh:
"Hehe... Spider Spirit... how is it? I'm not bad, right? The Space Talent I 'borrowed' from you... it works... alright, right?"
Hearing this, Aria subconsciously crossed her arms, her delicate chin lifting slightly, and she pretended to be indifferent, saying:
"Hmph... so-so, at least it didn't disgrace the name of my A-Level Space Talent."
However, her slightly trembling fingertips and the shock deep in her eyes that could not dissipate for a long time betrayed her true heart.
A Kraken cub that hadn't even reached the Awakening Level... actually... slew the Incarnation of Cthulhu's severed limb in reverse?!
This simply overturned all her knowledge of life levels and power systems!
Wait! Suddenly, an icy thought darted into Aria's mind like a venomous snake, making her instantly feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, her blood almost freezing!
No!!! This Yamata no Orochi... is the Incarnation of Cthulhu's right leg! It is not a real creature!
Severing a 'Main Serpent Head' dominated by consciousness... how could it... truly kill the severed limb of a deity?!! It... is not dead yet!!!
"Big Guy!!! Watch out!!!" Aria's face instantly turned as pale as paper, and she used all her strength to let out a sharp warning, "He's not dead! The Main Serpent Head is not his core! Retreat quickly! Hurry!!!"
However... her warning... was ultimately one step too late!
Crack... crack crack... rumbling—!!! A terrifying sound that made one's hair stand on end, as if countless bones and flesh were being forcibly twisted and reorganized, came intermittently from that massive serpent body that should have been dead!
In the suddenly frozen gaze of Su Chen and Aria... the 100,000-meter-long remnant body of the Yamata no Orochi that had already toppled... actually... against all logic... struggled... and bit by bit... supported itself back up!!!
And at the same time... on the top of one of the sub-serpent heads, the flesh squirmed, and the pale and twisted figure of Minamoto no Yoshinobu... slowly... re-condensed and emerged!!!
His face was so gloomy it could drip water, his pair of ghostly green pupils staring fixedly at Su Chen, burning within them was a rage capable of burning the world and... a trace of palpitations that even he himself was unwilling to admit!
On the land of Divine Summer, that heaven-shaking cheering... was like being suddenly strangled by an invisible giant hand! It stopped abruptly!
In front of countless screens, the ecstasy on people's faces instantly froze, turning into complete bewilderment and... rapidly spreading icy fear!
"Ho... how could this be?!" "It... how did it stand up again?!" "His Highness Kraken clearly already severed its head!" "Then what was the price His Highness paid... for?!"
Despair... like a plague... at a speed faster than before... swept through everyone's hearts!
