97: Su Chen's excitement!

[God! What did we Americans do wrong? Why are we being punished like this??]

[It's over, America is finished, the world is finished... We are all going to die!]

[It's all Kraken's fault! When he arrived, he clearly had enough time to destroy the Sea God Cult's formation, but he still let all this happen!]

[He did it on purpose! He must have deliberately wanted this monster to appear! He wants our America to be destroyed by this monster!]

Inside the Dragon Abyss Pavilion, the air was as heavy as lead.

"Nightmare Behemoth... Rlyeh..."

Marshal Qin Zhenshan repeated the name distractedly, then suddenly turned to Qin Zheng, his voice filled with unprecedented urgency,

"Teacher! No!"

"This monster is completely beyond our limits! We must issue an order immediately!"

"Have Kraken and all units retreat! Preserve the spark!"

Lei Zhen's face was also ashen:

"Yes, Teacher! While the green hills remain!"

"Kraken is the hope of our Divine Summer and even humanity's future; we absolutely cannot afford to lose him!"

"We retreat first! We'll plan for the long term!"

Qin Zheng's gaze was fixed firmly on the terrifying centipede behemoth on the screen, which was as massive as a mountain range. He took a deep breath,

as if trying to inhale that heaviness into his lungs.

He slowly raised his hand, preparing to issue that incredibly difficult yet necessary retreat order

—

However, his movement froze mid-air.

On the screen,

that 610-meter pitch-black giant shadow not only failed to heed the frantic retreat signal sent by the fleet behind it,

but instead... swung its ten tentacles, which resembled demonic dragons, stirring up monstrous waves,

and steadfastly... charged toward that world-destroying centipede, which was over five thousand meters long!

"What is Kraken doing?! Quick! Communicator! Tell Kraken to retreat immediately!!"

Qin Zheng's expression changed drastically for the first time, his voice filled with undeniable urgency.

The voice of the Task Force Commander came through the microphone, sounding almost like he was crying:

"God of War! I already told Lord Kraken to retreat! But... but His Lordship... he refused..."

Center of the battlefield.

Su Chen's pair of giant eyes were firmly locked onto Rlyeh, which almost obscured half the sky ahead of him,

and what surged within them was not fear,

but... near-boiling excitement and fighting spirit!

Three days!

Only a little over three days remain until the system's time-limited mission ends!

I... finally waited for this big guy to appear!

As long as I kill it and destroy the Sea God Cult's stronghold on Blue Star,

I can strengthen my SSS-rank Talent!

Retreat?

How could I possibly retreat?!

How can I let go of this once-in-a-lifetime prey!

"Oh? Not running away, huh?"

Morgue saw that Su Chen not only didn't retreat but actively charged forward,

a flicker of astonishment crossed his face,

which immediately turned into more twisted and hideous ecstasy and malice,

"Good, good, good! Seeking death! Rlyeh!!!"

He pointed at Su Chen, who was breaking through the waves, his voice sharp like a curse:

"It's this damned octopus! It forced us to awaken you prematurely! It ruined your future! Tear it apart! Swallow it alive! And then grind this world completely into dust! To be buried with you!!!"

Rlyeh's massive head, covered with nine pairs of eerie green compound eyes, slowly turned,

eighteen cold and cruel giant eyes instantly focused on the "tiny" figure that dared to provoke it!

Endless fury and hatred erupted within its body like magma!

Yes!

It was all because of it!

I should have had thousands of years of long life remaining, and I should have fully recovered or even grown stronger in my slumber!

Now, only a brief and painful death frenzy remains!

It's all because of this damned Kraken!

I will eat him alive, piece by piece!!

"Hiss—Roar!!!!!"

A roar, mixed with extreme pain and rage, exploded from Rlyeh's gigantic, fanged mouth. The sound wave was like a physical shockwave, collapsing the already precarious buildings below in swathes!

The next moment,

its thousands of jointed legs, resembling giant scythes, began thrashing wildly!

Rumble rumble rumble—!!!

The terrifying body, over five thousand meters long, moved!

Carrying a terrifying momentum capable of crushing continental plates, it charged fiercely toward Su Chen, like a brown mountain range tearing the world apart!

Wherever it passed, the ground rolled and cracked like waves,

cities were easily crushed into the earth!

In an instant, countless cries of alarm erupted globally:

[He's crazy! Kraken is truly insane! He actually wants to collide with it head-on?!]

[The size difference is tenfold! This isn't a battle; it's suicide!]

[It's over! Wasn't Kraken quite shrewd before? Why is he acting like a reckless brute today!]

[Sigh... Is Divine Summer's guardian god... going to fall here today...]

Inside the Dragon Abyss Pavilion,

everyone's hearts stopped!

However,

a sharp light suddenly flashed in Qin Zheng's eyes.

Given Kraken's intelligence,

how could he not see the danger of the Sea God Cult's ritual?

How could he not sense Rlyeh's terror?

But,

Kraken still waited for the Sea God Cult's ritual to be completed!

He still chose to clash head-on with Rlyeh!

Then... there is only one answer!

Kraken did it on purpose!

He is confident he can kill this behemoth of the Sea God Cult!

"Issue the order!"

Qin Zheng's voice instantly became resolute, suppressing all doubts,

"Dragon Blood Unit! menshen mecha Unit! Spare no effort, fully assist Kraken in the attack! Trust our guardian god!"

Once the order was issued, military discipline was absolute!

Even though they faced a force majeure like a natural disaster, all Divine Summer soldiers did not hesitate!

"Hahaha! Your Lordship! You saved my life in the East Sea before! Today, I, Chen Feng, will use this life to help you take out one of this beast's eyes!"

Chen Feng roared,

his legs pumping rapidly, his speed soaring to the extreme, his Dragon-Patterned Long Saber in hand aimed directly at Rlyeh's central giant eye!

"Captain! Leave the left eye to us, Second Squad! We guarantee we'll pierce it before we all die!"

"The middle eye belongs to our Third Squad!"

"We Fourth Squad will take the right eye!"

"Mecha Unit! Follow me! Use your bodies to jam its legs! Restrict its movement!"

Roars of defiance, ready to face death, exploded in the communication channel!

Thousands of silver figures and twenty-five steel giants, like moths flying into a flame, carrying a tragic determination to die,

actually charged ahead of Su Chen,

launching a desperate charge towards Rlyeh!

However,

Su Chen's calm yet immensely grand Mental Fluctuation,

instantly swept over the hearts of all the determined warriors like a warm current:

"Don't worry."

"Today, not a single Divine Summer soldier... will sacrifice themselves here."

Before the words even fell—

Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Su Chen's massive 610-meter body slammed his ten main tentacles deep into the seabed, and then... erupted with unimaginable power!

The seawater in the entire sea area seemed to be instantly pushed aside!

His body instantly soared to an incredible speed, like an ultra-heavy shell fired from a gigantic electromagnetic cannon,

instantly leaving behind all the Dragon Blood Warriors and mecha who were charging with all their might!

Transforming into a black thunderbolt that tore through the sea and sky!

With an unwavering and resolute posture!

Towards that overwhelming Nightmare Mountain Range that blotted out the sky—

Rlyeh!

He fiercely... charged into the collision!
