155: Assemble the Scale-Slaying Army and launch a counterattack against the Shadow Kingdom!

His voice was like the final judgment:

"Oh, and that lightning avatar of yours looks pretty good. It's mine now."

"Soon, I will personally visit your Shadow Kingdom to properly 'repay' you for this... generous gift you've delivered right to my doorstep."

As his voice faded,

The tentacle, wreathed in destructive lightning, struck down with overwhelming force!

(C+ Rank Skill - Thunderstorm Abyss!)

Boom——————!!!!!!!!!

An ultimate lightning pillar, with a diameter large enough to swallow mountains, erupted, completely engulfing Golosh's massive head and his separating body!

Sizzle sizzle sizzle——!!!

Under the baptism of the violent lightning, the bloodline on Golosh's neck suddenly split open!

His massive head, still lingering with endless unwillingness and bewilderment, slowly and heavily separated from his body, falling downwards... The struggles of the colossal Abyssal Demon Whale trunk beneath him also ceased abruptly, its life force rapidly dissipating.

In the final instant before his consciousness completely plunged into eternal darkness, only one incredibly clear thought, filled with despair and absurdity, echoed repeatedly in Golosh's mind:

"Eight talents..."

"What kind of existence... did our Shadow Kingdom... provoke...?!

The next moment,

The world returned to a deathly silence and darkness.

The Scale Lord of the Shadow Scale Clan Kingdom Expeditionary Force, the Invincible General—Golosh,

Is dead!

As Golosh's gigantic ten-thousand-meter body collapsed, the wails of the Demon Whale abruptly ceased.

The last vestiges of resistance on the battlefield completely vanished.

At this moment,

The entire blue star seemed to have all sound drained from it, falling into an extreme, vacuum-like silence.

The next second,

This silence was completely shattered by the mountain-toppling, tsunami-like cheers of sixty billion people erupting simultaneously!

The sound waves seemed to want to rip off the planet's atmosphere!

"We won—!!! We won—!!!"

"Victory! We truly achieved victory!!!"

"Long live! Long live His Highness Kraken! Long live Divine Summer! Long live humanity!!!"

"Ahhh—! We did it! We really defeated these monsters!!"

"His Highness Kraken! You! Are! My! God—!!!"

In front of countless screens, people hugged and wept, tears streaming down their faces, releasing all the long-suppressed fear, despair, and the surging ecstasy of the moment.

On the streets, strangers excitedly embraced and jumped;

In the shelters, suppressed sobs were replaced by thunderous cheers.

"aishiba! Why can't I stop these tears!"

Someone wiped their face hard, their voice choked, "It was Kraken and Divine Summer who saved all of us! We, Goryeo, unconditionally apply to merge with Divine Summer!"

"Exactly!"

Another voice, filled with unprecedented conviction, rang out,

"We, the polar bear, have also unanimously passed it! This battle today made me realize that in this dangerous new world, only by abandoning divisions and uniting the strength of the entire blue star around Divine Summer can our human civilization survive and fight back!"

"Our Africa merger vote has concluded!"

Another voice joined in, full of resolve, "From this moment on, there will be no more nations on the blue star! Only one civilization—Divine Summer! Only one race—the blue star human race! Only one faith—our guardian god, His Highness Kraken!!"

...Divine Summer, Dragon Abyss Pavilion Command Center.

This was no longer a solemn command hub, but a sea of jubilation!

Marshal Lei Zhen slammed his fist hard on the control panel, making cups and dishes clatter. He burst into laughter, tears welling in his tiger-like eyes;

Marshal Qin Zhenshan let out a long-held breath, his tense shoulders finally relaxing, a brilliant smile of relief spreading across his face.

Every general and every staff officer couldn't help but pump their fists and embrace, fully releasing their stress.

Qin Zhenshan clapped his old partner Lei Zhen on the back, his voice hoarse with excitement, yet full of ease:

"Hahaha! Excellent! We've uprooted this Shadow Scale Clan Expeditionary Force! Now, our Divine Summer can finally have a precious period of peace to recuperate and consolidate our gains!"

However,

Qin Zheng's voice, still calm and even tinged with solemnity, was like a basin of cold water, making the smile on Qin Zhenshan's face freeze slightly:

"Now, I'm afraid it's not yet time for us to rest easy and recuperate."

In an instant, all laughter in the command room ceased.

Everyone's gaze, as if drawn by a magnet, focused simultaneously on Qin Zheng.

"Teacher, what do you mean by that?" Qin Zhenshan reined in his smile, his brow slightly furrowed.

Qin Zheng slowly stood up, his gaze sweeping over the cheering crowd and settling on Su Chen's towering figure on the main screen. His voice clearly resonated throughout the command room:

"With the Expeditionary Force completely annihilated, and given the Shadow Scale Clan's demonstrated aggressiveness, they will certainly not let this rest. Retaliation will come sooner or later, and its scale may far exceed this one."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over every core personnel present, and continued:

"More importantly, through this battle, we have confirmed that this 'Endless Sea' that the blue star has merged into is an unimaginably vast, powerful, and brilliant new world, yet also fraught with danger. Passive defense will only lead us back into a desperate situation like today's. Our Divine Summer, our blue star humanity, must seize this opportunity, must follow in His Highness Kraken's pioneering footsteps, continuously grow stronger, and constantly advance!"

His voice suddenly rose, carrying a resolute determination as if burning bridges:

"Therefore, I formally propose—to immediately integrate all blue star resources, form the 'Scale Slaying Army', take the initiative to attack, and follow His Highness Kraken to counterattack the Shadow Kingdom!"

Counterattack?!

The invaders' lair?!

Qin Zheng's words were like a heavy bomb, detonating in the command room!

The air solidified for a moment.

Immediately, Marshal Lei Zhen was the first to react. He slapped his thigh fiercely, a terrifying gleam erupting in his eyes, his voice like a great bell:

"Counterattack?! Striking directly at the heart?! Hahahaha! Good! Bold enough! Crazy enough! I like it! I, Lei Zhen, support it a thousand times over!!!"

Qin Zhenshan took a deep breath, a hint of struggle flashing across his face, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

He gave a wry smile, shook his head, but his tone was exceptionally firm:

"Normally, actively provoking a more powerful civilization now would undoubtedly be extremely irrational..."

He changed his tone, his gaze burning as he looked at Su Chen on the screen:

"But! As long as His Highness Kraken decides to move forward, as long as He wants to! I, Qin Zhenshan, this old man, will risk my life to go crazy with Him! Our Divine Summer, all of our lives, have been saved by Him again and again! What's the harm in returning this life to Him?! I agree!"

"I agree!"

"Kill those fishmen bastards! Make them pay for their blood debt!"

"Yes! Let them also taste the feeling of their homeland being invaded!"
