172: Su Chen—transformed into Cthulhu!!!

An Overlord's single sword strike changed the color of heaven and earth!

This shocking blow plunged the entire Blue Star, which had been following the battle, into a dead silence.

In the image, Su Chen's half body was severed at the root, his majestic demonic body collapsing, forming a doomsday-like scene alongside the Reef Wasteland, which was split in half.

Before countless screens, people's mouths hung open, their pupils constricted by extreme horror, their hearts almost leaping out of their chests.

The previous euphoria of slaying the dragon had not yet been fully digested before it was extinguished by this even more terrifying reality.

"Over... Overlord-level... Is this Overlord-level?"

"One sword... just one sword..."

"Why did we provoke such a monster...?"

Whispers of despair spread through countless corners.

Dragon Abyss Pavilion,

The air in the command room was solidified, silent enough to hear a pin drop.

Marshal Lei Zhen's fists were clenched until his knuckles turned white.

Qin Zhenshan's brows were furrowed into a tight knot.

Only Qin Zheng slowly exhaled a turbid breath, his voice low but firm as a rock: "Steady. He... hasn't lost yet."

...Star Sea Merchant Guild,

President Nicola slowly closed his eyes, letting out a long sigh, as if he had foreseen the inevitable outcome: "As expected... still too young. How can an Overlord's might be lightly insulted? What a pity for such peerless potential..."

"As expected... still too young. How can an Overlord's might be lightly insulted? What a pity for such peerless potential..."

Lucia, who was slumped on the ground, suddenly struggled to her feet as if injected with a stimulant, pointing at Su Chen's "mutilated body" on the light screen, letting out a shrill, piercing cackle: "Hahaha! See?! This is the consequence of provoking an Overlord! Crippled! He's about to turn into a pile of rotten flesh! Lan Xin! Your judgment is terrible! Is this the 'genius' you bet everything on?! A good-for-nothing who can't even protect himself!"

"Hahaha! See?! This is the consequence of provoking an Overlord! Crippled! He's about to turn into a pile of rotten flesh! Lan Xin! Your judgment is terrible! Is this the 'genius' you bet everything on?! A good-for-nothing who can't even protect himself!"

Lan Xin bit her lower lip tightly, her nails digging into her palms, staring fixedly at the screen, not saying a word.

Reef Wasteland, on the battlefield,

The thirty thousand Shenxia Ice Cavalry fell into a momentary dead silence under that world-destroying sword might.

However, after the silence, what burned in the warriors' eyes was not fear, but a more fervent, almost fanatical faith and determination!

"Clang—!"

Chen Feng fiercely drew the huge vibranium long saber from his back, its cold blade cutting through the stagnant air, pointing directly at Salazar, who was like a demon god in the sky! Under his silver face mask, his voice was decisive, without the slightest hesitation:

"Shenxia Ice Cavalry! The time has come to repay His Highness! Charge with me—! Hold him back! Buy His Highness time to retreat!!!"

"Yes—!!!"

"Zheng zheng zheng zheng zheng—!!!"

The earth-shattering sound of blades being drawn formed a metallic storm!

Thirty thousand Dragon Blood Warriors simultaneously raised their vibranium long sabers, driving the Ice-Descended Giant Bearss beneath them, which let out low roars, forming a silver torrent of steel, actually charging forward decisively against Salazar's overwhelming Overlord might!

In every pair of eyes, there was only resolute determination to die!

They would use their flesh and blood to build the last line of defense for their god!

However,

Just as this tragic charge was about to begin, a voice so calm it was almost indifferent, like a stabilizing divine needle, suppressed all the shouts and blade clangs:

"Retreat."

All the warriors' charging movements suddenly froze.

Su Chen's severed half-body showed flesh regenerating at the wound at a visible, frenzied rate, intertwining and rebuilding!

His massive head turned towards the army behind him, which was preparing to die, his compound eyes showing no ripples: "Here, you are not needed."

"Here, you are not needed."

"Your Highness! We are not afraid of death!" a warrior yelled, craning his neck.

"Right! Your Highness, let us go! Even if we just chip one of his teeth, it's good!"

"We are willing to die for Your Highness!"

Su Chen's voice remained calm, yet carried an undeniable majesty:

"I'm telling you to retreat because I'm afraid... later, you might be accidentally killed by me."

Accidentally killed?

All the warriors, including Chen Feng and Enuoke, were stunned.

Chen Feng's gaze sharpened, instantly understanding something. He suddenly raised his long saber and shouted sternly: "All troops, heed my command! Retreat! Immediately!! Retreat at maximum speed—!!"

"All troops, heed my command! Retreat! Immediately!! Retreat at maximum speed—!!"

Without hesitation, orders were obeyed! The thirty thousand Ice Cavalry surged back like a tide, moving away from the area that was about to turn into a true purgatory.

Seeing the Divine Summer army "flee in panic," the remaining Blood Scale Guards burst into rampant sneers:

"Haha! As expected, a bunch of cowardly rats!"

"They got scared and ran? What trash!"

Salazar's lips curled into a cruel and disdainful arc, his dark red gaze fixed on Su Chen as if looking at a fish on a chopping block: "Now you know to run? Too bad, it's too late! I'll chop you into mincemeat first, then I'll completely erase your pathetic home planet from the Star Sea!!"

"Now you know to run? Too bad, it's too late! I'll chop you into mincemeat first, then I'll completely erase your pathetic home planet from the Star Sea!!"

However, his harsh words were cut short.

He saw Su Chen's massive compound eyes.

Within them, there was no fear, no anger, not even battle intent... only a kind of... pity, as if looking down upon a dying creature?

"Tsk tsk tsk,"

Su Chen uttered a low murmur, as if talking to himself, "Is this the strength of an Overlord-level? It's truly terrifying. Logically speaking, even if three of me were tied together, I wouldn't be your opponent right now..."

"Is this the strength of an Overlord-level? It's truly terrifying. Logically speaking, even if three of me were tied together, I wouldn't be your opponent right now..."

His tone suddenly shifted, and in his pitying gaze, a dark light that froze the soul suddenly burst forth: "But, your misfortune is... that I can now... borrow a portion of the power belonging to a deity."

"But, your misfortune is... that I can now... borrow a portion of the power belonging to a deity."

The moment his voice fell—

"Boom————————————————!!!!"

An indescribable aura, as if from the very beginning of the universe, chaotic, insane, and blasphemous to all reason,

Suddenly erupted from Su Chen's broken body!

Not an energy shock,

But a kind of... essential pollution!

At his broken wound, the wriggling flesh instantly mutated!

No longer normal flesh regeneration, but swelling, twisting, transforming into countless unspeakable tentacles covered with suckers and eyeballs, wildly dancing!

His skin, originally covered with a black keratin layer, cracked inch by inch,

Oozing viscous, dark green mucus that emitted spiritual pollution from the cracks!

Wherever the mucus passed, space made a corrosive "sizzling" sound.

His massive body began to uncontrollably swell and deform!

The "cracking" sound of dislocating bones was as dense as rain!

Puff puff puff puff—!

Thick, green-scaled limbs and a torso fiercely coalesced!

However,

More twisted limbs, seemingly not belonging to any known biological organism, grew wildly from his torso!

Light and shadow wildly intertwined, collapsed, and reorganized on Su Chen's body!

Within a few breaths, the original Kraken form had completely disappeared.

In its place,

Was a terrifying existence, thirty thousand meters tall, with a human body and an octopus head, forcibly pieced together from countless twisted tentacles, wriggling flesh, and blasphemous geometric structures!

Its very existence negated the laws of the surrounding reality!

Puchi puchi—!

Two colossal fleshy wings suddenly tore out from its back and violently unfurled!

Shading the sky and covering the sun!

cthulhu incarnation—descended!

Su Chen's countless chaotically arranged eyes simultaneously turned, focusing on Salazar, whose face had finally changed drastically,

Letting out a soul-piercing roar, a mixture of the wails and mad laughter of billions of beings, directly affecting the soul:

"Now... it's my turn."

As these words left his mouth,

Maddening whispers, ignoring distance, directly exploded in the minds of all observers!

"Waaah—my head!!!"

Some of the closer Blood Scale Guards suddenly clutched their heads, letting out shrill screams, their eyeballs instantly bloodshot, and began to wail in pain!

Even Salazar, at the moment the maddening whispers invaded his mind, felt a violent spiritual trance, as if countless cold hands were tearing at his sanity!
