145: Golosh's rage!
The European Battlefield, atop the Demon Whale's back.
The light screen before Golosh froze on the image of the last soldier of the Second Legion falling, his ears filled with the deafening wave of cheers erupting from the human world.
His face shifted from ashen to a nearly tangible gloom, looking as if water could be wrung from it.
"The Second Legion... completely annihilated?!"
He repeated in a low voice, his sound ground out from the depths of his throat.
"Divine Summer People... Kraken... Good... Very good..."
He suddenly threw back his head, letting out a series of terrifying, furious laughter!
"Transmit my orders!"
The laughter stopped abruptly, replaced by a roar that tore through the sea wind,
"First, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Legions, immediately abandon all current tasks! Muster at full speed toward the Divine Summer East Coast!"
He extended a finger, its tip trembling slightly from rage, pointing at Su Chen's massive figure on the light screen.
"I will crush that octopus with my own hands! I will grind every single Divine Summer person into dust! I will use their blood to wash away the shame of the Second Legion!!!"
Sensing the Scale Lord's fury that threatened to incinerate everything, Legion Commander Novak of the First Legion braced himself and stepped forward.
"Scale Lord!"
He knelt on one knee, his voice cautious,
"This matter is strange! Blue Star's Revival has only been thirty days, yet the evolution speed of this Kraken and the Divine Summer People... is unnaturally fast! This subordinate suggests we should... perhaps delay the offensive and first investigate the root cause? If there truly is an unknown risk, perhaps... we should request support from the Kingdom..."
"Support?!"
Golosh violently turned his head, his ferocious gaze stabbing toward Novak like two poisoned daggers.
"Are you suggesting... that I, the Shadow Scale Lord, the Kingdom's Invincible General—Golosh, leading five great legions to conquer a low-level plane that has just undergone Spiritual Energy Revival... should actually wag my tail and beg for aid from the rear?!"
Boom—!!!
The instant his words fell, a terrifying aura far surpassing Rossi's erupted explosively from Golosh, like an out-of-control volcano!
The tangible pressure instantly crushed the surrounding space; the sea surface beneath his feet was forcefully pressed into a massive depression by this power, immediately triggering a destructive hundred-meter-high tsunami that spread wildly in all directions!
The Abyssal Demon Whale beneath him sensed its master's boundless rage and let out an earth-shattering roar that churned the deep sea, its sound waves causing the clouds to roll back!
"Scale Lord, please calm your anger!"
Novak buried his head even lower, quickly begging for forgiveness.
Beside him, the Deputy Legion Commander of the First Legion folded his arms, wearing a look of disapproval:
"Legion Commander, you are being overly cautious. The Kraken's power is only seventy-seven thousand, while the Scale Lord possesses a great power exceeding one hundred and ten thousand, and his Realm completely crushes it! Combined with the strength of our four great legions, crushing them will be like stepping on an insect egg!"
Novak's lips moved, but in the end, it only turned into a barely audible sigh.
"I hope... that is the case..."
Logic told him his Deputy was correct, but the bizarre speed of evolution displayed by Divine Summer and the Kraken was like a cold needle constantly pricking his nerves.
The order was quickly relayed.
The four Shadow Scale Clan legions, scattered across the various continents of Blue Star and continuously sowing panic,
like receding black seawater, transformed into four massive torrents of steel and flesh, tearing through the atmosphere and rushing madly toward the same target—the Divine Summer East Coast!
...High above, on the Star Sea Merchant Guild's Giant Bird.
"Sister Lan! Just as you predicted! Golosh is enraged and has mobilized all legions under his command, rushing toward Divine Summer at full speed!"
A subordinate quickly reported, his voice urgent.
Lan Xin's brows were tightly knitted together:
"It really came... Golosh personally leading the entire Expeditionary Force... How will Divine Summer and that Kraken deal with this desperate situation..."
Aux, the Deputy standing nearby, opened his mouth almost reflexively:
"Golosh is at the Hundred and Fiftieth Order! He commands eight great Awakening Level Legion Commanders! How can they stop this? They can't stop it at all! Divine Summer and that Kraken are dead for sure, even if an immortal came this time..."
However, before he could finish,
he suddenly choked midway, the confident expression on his face instantly freezing.
He recalled his predictions being slapped down by reality time and time again, and a sense of absurd foreboding quietly sprouted.
"Holy cow! Why am I starting again?! Could it be... could it be that the entire Shadow Scale Clan Expeditionary Force is about to be... completely wiped out?! Heh... hehe..."
He gave a dry, awkward laugh.
This idea sounded utterly insane, but according to his history of failed "prophecies," this seemed to be the only "correct answer."
Carrying this absurd notion, he subconsciously lowered his head again, looking toward the majestic figure below.
With that look, he was struck as if by lightning, freezing completely in place!
He raised a trembling finger, pointed below, and after opening and closing his mouth several times, let out a high-pitched shriek:
"B-B-B-BIG! He got bigger!! He got so big!!!"
"Bigger? Aux, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Lan Xin frowned and followed Aux's trembling finger.
The next second, her breathing abruptly stopped, her beautiful eyes wide open, and she too froze in place!
Down on the battlefield, Su Chen's ten tentacles, resembling Ancient Demonic Dragons, were sweeping across the field with astonishing efficiency!
Wherever the tentacles passed, whether it was the corpses of Colossal Beasts or piles of Shadow Scale Clan remains, they were easily swept up and stuffed into his gaping maw—which seemed capable of swallowing mountains—as if being thrown into a bottomless abyss!
And during this frantic process of consumption, Su Chen's majestic body, which was originally one thousand two hundred and seventy meters tall, was now rapidly swelling and stretching at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Muscles bulged, carapaces proliferated, and bone spurs extended!
In a short amount of time, his size suddenly broke the limit, skyrocketing to... three thousand meters!
Like a pitch-black mountain range suddenly rising from the ground, the shadow it cast enveloped the entire bay!
His stomach seemed connected to an Alternate Dimension; Colossal Beasts hundreds of meters long were swallowed without causing the slightest ripple.
And with this almost predatory consumption, a terrifying aura, far more immense and ferocious than before, was steadily rising from his mountain-like body, like an awakened Primordial Fiend!
"The... Hundredth Order?! Just in this short time... he broke through to the Hundredth Order?!"
Lan Xin could no longer maintain her composure, letting out an incredulous gasp. "How is this possible?! How did he do it?!"
She had witnessed a miracle that defied all common sense regarding evolution! In just a few minutes, he completed the accumulation that would take others decades or even centuries!
"Sister Lan... I... I think I understand..."
A subordinate stared blankly at this world-shattering sight, murmuring,
"I understand why those Divine Summer People could reach the Hundredth Order in thirty days... They, they must have absorbed the Kraken's Serum! Its power created that army!"
