47: Sher! At all costs! Save the Kraken!
"Roar—!!!"
Su Chen let out a roar of pain and fury!
His C-rank Lightning Control was fully activated!
Between his tentacles, an even more violent and condensed destructive purple lightning furiously gathered and compressed,
Brewing a cataclysmic counterattack!
"Oh? Still unconvinced?"
Aria's lips curved into a lazy yet dangerous arc, with a hint of a cat playing with a mouse.
Her slender fingers danced rapidly before her, like the most agile performers.
Buzz—!
Countless spatial cutting spider silks, even more solid, more lethal, and radiating a faint purple glow that caused space itself to subtly twist and undulate,
Appeared out of thin air,
Instantly weaving into a gigantic, intricate, and breathtakingly beautiful—Web of Death—that covered half the sky!
Several 'Destructive Lightning Spears' that Su Chen had prepared,
Carrying the might to pierce through everything, fiercely struck this sky-shrouding Web of Death!
Sizzle—Puff!!!
Like a red-hot iron plunged into absolute zero ice!
An ear-piercing sound of annihilation exploded!
The terrifying lightning, powerful enough to destroy several cities, upon hitting the spider web, was instantly decomposed and annihilated by the terrifying spatial cutting force contained within the silk, as if a mud ox had entered the sea!
Not even a ripple was stirred!
Absolute suppression!
Lethal elegance!
Aria hovered at the center of the Web of Death, like a Spider Web Queen controlling life and death, her faint purple pupils indifferently locked onto the giant beast below, which had fallen into an even greater frenzy due to intense pain and ineffective attacks.
She gently shook her head, her voice tinged with disappointment:
"A beast with power, yet only knowing destruction and slaughter... what a waste. Your crystal core might make a decent collectible."
As her words fell,
Aria's slender hand, elegantly and coldly, pressed downwards!
The terrifying Web of Death, carrying the law of cutting all things, crashed down, enveloping Su Chen below!
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff—!!!
The dense sound of flesh being sliced, enough to make one's scalp tingle, rang out, accompanied by Su Chen's earth-shattering roars of pain!
Blood spurted like a fountain!
His remaining nine giant tentacles, upon contact with the Web of Death, were instantly severed from their roots, as if simultaneously cut by countless invisible divine blades!
The massive severed limbs crashed down, triggering a series of earthquakes!
His colossal, mountain-like body was instantly covered in terrifying, crisscrossing, grid-like wounds, deep enough to expose bone!
Dark purple blood gushed out like a waterfall, staining the scorched earth beneath him into a terrifying purplish-black swamp!
The arrogant Kraken Su Chen, whose might was unparalleled on Blue Star,
Before the World-Ending Spider Queen who suddenly descended, was like a lamb to be slaughtered, completely defenseless!
It was utterly tragic!
The whole world was stunned into silence!
"Wha... what is that?! A humanoid spider?! Another monster?!"
"My god! She... she cuts Kraken's tentacles like tofu! Blocking its lightning like a breeze!"
"The defense that even Shuten Dōji couldn't break... is like paper in front of her?!"
"It's over... even Lord Kraken..."
"(Gulp) But... her upper body is so beautiful... I've never seen such a beautiful face... Can any big brother with True Sight Eye tell me her name?"
"Heh, you only saw her upper body, didn't you see the spider lower body? She's the World-Ending Spider Queen Ailiya! Extremely dangerous! Extremely hateful of humans! Want to add her on WeChat? Go try it?"
"Uh... never mind..."
...Divine Summer, Dragon Abyss Pavilion
The atmosphere was as heavy as ten-thousand-year-old profound ice.
Navy Commander Qin Zhenshan's eyes were bloodshot, staring intently at the tragic scene on the screen where Su Chen was being sliced to pieces by the Web of Death, his teeth grinding audibly:
"No! This witch is too strong! Kraken can't hold on!"
He abruptly looked at Qin Zheng, his voice hoarse yet resolute:
"Teacher! The East Sea Fleet is offshore! My Navy is preparing to apply to the Council to immediately attack the World-Ending Spider Queen! At all costs! We cannot just watch Kraken be killed!"
Before his words finished, two high-ranking government officials, their faces pale, retorted:
"Commander Qin! Calm down! That witch... she's too terrifying! Once we act and provoke her, if she turns to attack Divine Summer's mainland... what will we use to resist?!"
"Exactly! This is playing with fire! It's gambling with the fate of the entire Divine Summer! We cannot afford such a disaster!"
"Playing with fire?!"
Qin Zheng slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly! His gaze swept over the two officials like icy swords,
"If we do nothing, can we truly remain unscathed?! When the Shadow Scale Clan's army presses in twenty-five days later, will they spare us?!"
"Exactly!"
Army Commander Lei Zhen's tiger eyes widened, glaring at the two officials, his eyes full of disdain,
"I hate you guys who only talk big! Kraken helped us take down two giant beasts and helped us find star-patterned vibranium! Now that he's in trouble, you want to just run away and hide? If you want to flee, you flee! My Army's men will die before Kraken!"
The two officials were reprimanded until their faces turned red, and they lowered their heads in shame.
Qin Zheng took a deep breath, his voice resolute and unwavering, echoing throughout the Command Center:
"The fate of Divine Summer has long been intertwined with Kraken!"
"Abandoning Kraken is like cutting off our own arm, it's waiting for death! The only path awaiting Divine Summer is destruction!"
He abruptly pointed at the blood-soaked beast on the screen:
"Immediately apply to the Council! Spare no effort! Save Kraken!"
"The 'menshen' mecha prototype, activate immediately! Bring it out!"
"East Sea Fleet! All fighter jets that can fly! Get airborne! All nuclear weapons! Aim them at that spider monster! Attack! Attack fiercely! Disturb her! Create a glimmer of hope for Kraken!"
"Soldiers of Divine Summer! Today, fight for our guardian beast! Fight to the death, never retreat!"
...On the sea surface,
"God-Sacrificer—!!!"
"How could such a low-level civilization attract the descent of a God-Sacrificer!!!"
Saruman's pupils glowed with an eerie purple light, refracted by the Water Mirror, as he stared intently at the half-human, half-spider body in the Water Mirror,
His eyes filled with shock and fear.
"Legend has it that God-Sacrificers are offerings to the gods, and also vessels for gods walking among humans. A trace of divine power flows within them, capable of tearing through space and time with every move..."
Liss's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed,
Then, as if he thought of something, a slight curve appeared on his lips,
"But this is also good. This God-Sacrificer has appeared, clearly to kill this Kraken. This saves the Bishop the trouble of acting."
Morgue nodded, saying faintly,
"Hmm, it seems she is a servant of the Spider God. The Spider God is cruel and bloodthirsty. If this Kraken is targeted by her, even with immense power, it has no chance of survival today."
As he spoke, he frowned,
"However, although this God-Sacrificer's aura is terrifying, why don't I feel the Spider God's divine power on her?!"
