At this moment, seeing the ability information appearing above the opponent's head, Jack's eyebrows involuntarily twitched.

Strength, ranged, tankiness, sneak attacks, burst… all kinds of mechanisms are complete. No wonder his performance in the anime was ridiculously strong.
Jack twisted his neck. His calm gaze appeared exceptionally dangerous in the rippling seawater—like a top predator lurking in the deep sea.
"What a pity—a Monster with mechanisms but no numerical support is just a flashy but impractical toy."
"You…!"
Hearing Jack's evaluation, Deep Sea King was both shocked and enraged. But the excruciating pain from his right arm—along with the opponent's gaze regarding him as mere possession—made the Deep Sea King's heart rate suddenly accelerate.
Without the slightest hesitation, Deep Sea King suddenly opened his gaping maw. A pale green high-pressure liquid column—like a poisoned arrow—shot out at terrifying supersonic speed, aiming directly for Jack's head.
*PFFT—!! *
A fatal sneak attack capable of corroding steel. Jack merely tilted his head casually. The pale green acid whistled past his armored cheek, striking a giant coral pillar behind him. Amidst sizzling corrosion, in just seconds, the hard stone pillar melted into a bottomless hole.
Jack glanced out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but mock, "You… do you only spit?"
In the original timeline, Deep Sea King had used this move to catch the unsuspecting cyborg, Genos, off guard. Jack never acted carelessly in battle, so he naturally wouldn't follow in Genos's footsteps.
"WHAT! DID! YOU! SAY?!"
The disdainful tone was like fuel on a fire. Deep Sea King was enraged upon hearing it—his figure suddenly vanished from its original spot.
His speed in the water was unbelievably fast, transforming into blurry green afterimages that enveloped Jack from all directions. Deathly fist winds pierced through the seawater, crashing down like a torrential storm. The continuously accumulating terrifying power was enough to split mountains and crack stones. Even the residual shockwaves from the fist strikes caused the ground tiles to crack inch by inch—seabed sand churning, making the surrounding seawater murky.
Each strike infused with pure killing intent—
"Deep Sea Barrage!!"
As if forgetting to dodge, Jack's body was instantly struck by countless fist shadows, constantly retreating.
"SHINE! SHINE! SHINE—!!!"
The tyrannical Deep Sea King let out a crazed roar, reveling in the pleasure of crushing his enemy into paste.
But this time, the sound of bones and flesh shattering that he'd anticipated did not come. When his fists struck the opponent's body, what came back was not the softness of flesh—but a terrifying recoil force, like hitting an ancient reef.
*CRACK. CRACK, CRACK, CRACK—! *
Deep Sea King—immersed in the pleasure of slaughter—suddenly woke up. A hint of disbelief appeared on his ferocious face. His finger bones, harder than steel, had actually been shaken into countless fine cracks during the violent continuous strikes. Blue blood splattered.
(First Generation Bug God: Reflective armor—I understand!!)
"What… what exactly is your body made of?!"
"Heh heh."
Just as Deep Sea King was horrified, a faint laugh suddenly came from the murky seawater. A pitch-black sharp claw extended without warning—fast as lightning, yet carrying a sense of calm ease.
The unusually sharp claw exerted slight force, effortlessly gripping one of his thrown fists. Followed by the second one. Like two inescapable iron clamps, they dug into Deep Sea King's wrists, abruptly extinguishing his swift, violent offensive, bringing it to a sudden halt.
The seawater gradually cleared. Jack stood calmly in place—not even a single scratch left on his body. His crimson eyes calmly watched the opponent, as if looking at a clown who had put on a vigorous performance only to mess it up.
Deep Sea King's killing-intent-infused continuous attack was indeed somewhat interesting. It might even catch the un-transformed First Generation Bug God off guard. But against Jack's Fierce Beast Body—which surpassed SSR+—this level of attack wasn't even considered a massage.
How could a body of stats—soaked in sweat and effort—be such an inconvenient thing?
Hmm—who said the stats I painstakingly copied aren't effort?!
"Had enough fun?"
Their eyes met. Deep Sea King read extreme contempt in those crimson eyes. A primal fear—stemming from the hierarchy of life—made alarm bells ring in his heart.
"Next, I'll teach you what a true continuous attack is."
As his voice fell, a hissing sound rang out—as if even the seawater had been ignited. Dazzling silver electric light exploded around Jack. Violent currents, following the restrained arms, surged into Deep Sea King's massive, twenty-meter-tall body.
"AH, AH, AH, AH, AH—!!"
The Demon-level Deep Sea King's body trembled violently under the strong current, falling into uncontrollable paralysis.
And in that brief instant, the iron fist—wrapped in surging lightning—had already struck fiercely.
The true storm, at this moment, had just begun.
Countless fist shadows, carrying thunder, drew silver-white trails through the water. Each punch was accompanied by deafening thunderous explosions. Deep Sea King's Scaly Armor Body—supposedly difficult to penetrate—shattered layer by layer under the fists like paper.
Special Effect Normal Attack—
"Consecutive Normal Punches: Lightning Version"!
The terrifying torrent swept away all the Sea People present, slamming them against the palace walls like tattered murals.
At the palace's center, Deep Sea King's massive figure stiffened in place—then twisted, expanded, and exploded with a roar.
Flesh, organs, and shattered bones dyed the seawater a deep blue, like a flower of death suddenly blooming in the deep sea.

]**
With a *BOOM *, the remaining half of the fishman's torso and thighs crashed down, stirring up clouds of sand.
Jack retracted his fist—still wreathed in electric light—and calmly swept his gaze across the scene. All surviving Sea People trembled uncontrollably under his stare.
"From today onward, the Sea People will submit to me."
His voice was flat. Final.
"Who agrees—who objects?"
