146: Su Chen underwent another violent evolution, causing Lan Xin concern.

Her subordinate's words were like a bolt of lightning, cleaving through all the confusion in Lan Xin's mind!

"Devouring Evolution!!"

She shrieked, grabbing the nearby railing, her knuckles white from the force, her face showing the ecstatic delight of having discovered a priceless treasure.

"It's the legendary Devouring Evolution ability! Infinite devouring, infinite growth!!"

Her voice trembled with excitement:

"If we can secure endless resource support from our Chamber of Commerce... this Kraken will absolutely grow into a world-destroying behemoth capable of sweeping across the star sea in a short time! At that point, even competing for the supreme inheritance of the 'Beast Emperor' wouldn't be hopeless!!!"

However,

Aux's tearful reminder poured cold water over the fervor that had just ignited:

"Boss... b-but Golosh's Expeditionary Force... is coming... is coming right now! This Kraken..."

The ecstasy on Lan Xin's face instantly froze, turning into extreme terror!

"Quick!"

She almost screamed the order,

"Immediately connect me to the Headquarters' highest authority line! Request immediate intervention from the experts at Headquarters! We must make the Shadow Scale Clan high command order Golosh to stop his attack! This Kraken is priceless! It is the future hope of the Chamber of Commerce! It absolutely cannot die!!!"

"Yes—!" The subordinate dared not delay and rushed toward the Communication Console.

The member responsible for communication rapidly operated the console for a moment, the light of hope on his face gradually extinguishing, replaced by deep frustration.

He put down the Communicator, turned to Lan Xin, and spoke with difficulty:

"Sister Lan... Minister Lucia from Headquarters... directly rejected our request. She said... it's impossible for a Low-Level Civilization to produce anything worth the Chamber of Commerce interfering in another country's war, and warned us... to stick to our duties and not abuse our authority for personal gain."

"Lucia! That shortsighted idiot!"

Lan Xin fiercely clenched her fists, her knuckles turning white from the extreme force, her silver teeth grinding audibly.

"She only knows how to watch me and oppose me everywhere! She simply doesn't understand that her idiotic decision will make the Chamber of Commerce miss a once-in-a-thousand-years—no, a once-in-ten-thousand-years opportunity!!"

Aux sighed heavily from the side: "Boss, we've done everything we can. Perhaps... this is the destined Tribulation for Divine Summer and this Kraken. Whether they can overcome it is up to them."

Lan Xin closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened them again, her face was filled with helplessness and defeat:

"Golosh, who is Intermediate Awakening Level, eight Legion Commanders who are Low-Level Awakening, plus over two hundred thousand fierce Shadow Scale Clan warriors and countless Sea Beast Giants... I... I really can't imagine any way for them to survive. This is simply an unsolvable death trap..."

"Huh?! Boss, don't be so pessimistic!"

Seeing this, Aux quickly forced a wry smile, trying to comfort her with his unique "experience,"

"You have to have faith in the Kraken and the Divine Summer people! Besides, I just made a 'Reverse Prophecy'! According to past 'precedent,' they are definitely going to turn misfortune into fortune!"

Lan Xin did not respond, only silently lowered her gaze, staring at the massive figure below that was still constantly devouring the remains, her eyes mixing reluctance and deep worry... [Ding, devoured 53,291 Shadow Scale Clan Second Legion warriors/beasts, gained 530 million evolution points]

[Ding, you have successfully upgraded to Rank 100. (Only by Awakening and breaking through the Shackles of the Mortal Body can you continue to evolve)]

[host: Su Chen]

[Race: Kraken (Legendary Species) - Juvenile]

[Arm Span: 3,070 meters (Increased by 1,800 meters)]

[Head Diameter: 307 meters (Increased by 180 meters)]

[Weight: 300,000 tons (Increased by 200,000 tons)]

[Realm: Rank 100 (Cannot evolve)]

[Due to the host's massive evolution, the A-Rank Bloodline Skill—Veil of the Abyss—has been Awakened]

[Veil of the Abyss (A-Rank) — Profound power originating from the Kraken's ancient bloodline. Naturally forms an invisible "Abyssal Curtain" around the source of life, causing all prying eyes to become lost in eternal darkness. (From today on, no one can see my Attributes and Skills!)]

The System's prompt sounds continuously rang out in Su Chen's mind.

Inside his massive body, countless volcanoes seemed to erupt simultaneously, and vast amounts of Life Energy surged and flowed,

washing over and strengthening every cell.

His size expanded further beyond its original state; his Arm Span broke three thousand meters, his Head Diameter exceeded three hundred meters, and the shadow cast by his colossal body seemed capable of swallowing mountains.

At the same time,

A profound fluctuation naturally emanated from Su Chen's Life Core, forming an invisible barrier around him, subtly concealing his true foundation.

"Burp~~!"

Su Chen casually waved a tentacle, wiped his mouth, and let out a resounding burp that made the air hum.

The feeling of a full meal... exhilarating—!

The massive amount of Life Energy provided by this Gluttonous Feast pushed him directly to the peak of Ordinary-Level Creatures—Rank 100!

And incidentally awakened an extremely practical Stealth Skill.

"Ah, what a pity,"

Su Chen regretfully swayed a tentacle, "I still don't know the specific method for Awakening; otherwise, all these evolution points would be enough for me to rush up several more ranks."

This slight regret was fleeting.

Because the most bountiful Spoils of War from this battle were only just about to be realized!

The next moment,

Su Chen focused his mind, activating the supreme power originating from the root of his bloodline—the Unique Talent, Abyssal Sea God!

Buzz!

An invisible yet vast fluctuation spread out with him as the core.

The remains of tens of thousands of Shadow Scale Clan members and giant beasts he had just devoured and not yet fully digested seemed to receive an ultimate summons.

Their Most Fundamental Life Essence was instantly stripped away and refined, transforming into surging, incomparably pure Energy Torrents that frantically poured into Su Chen's limbs and body!
