"Flying Sky Hammer!"
"Cat Landing!"
"Bear Paw Strike!"
"Taste my Flying Crane Catches Shrimp!"
"Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl!"
"Gorilla Breaks the Branch!"
"Crow Sits on an Airplane!"
The symbiotic demon Victor's mountain-like body, propelled by the violent thrust of its tail fin, soared into the air, then descended with the force of Mount Tai crushing down, slamming squarely onto the center of the Kraken's largest mass!
"BOOM——!!!"
The entire underwater ruins seemed to be struck by a magnitude-12 earthquake, the shockwave completely flattening the surrounding wreckage!
"Take my combo, ORA ORA ORA ORA!"
Victor was exhilarated, unable to stop himself; his fists transformed into countless afterimages, pouring down like a storm onto the Kraken's now utterly defenseless body!
Every punch landed with a solid thud, each strike erupting with terrifying energy fluctuations!
Combo! Infinite combo!
The ensuing battle held no suspense whatsoever; it was a completely one-sided crush.
Like a father disciplining his son, filled with absolute dominance in strength and... a hint of educational intent?
Victor finally understood why protagonists in hot-blooded anime always charge forward roaring to brawl.
Admittedly, it feels great and has a certain prestige to act like a mastermind villain, strategizing behind the scenes, watching your pawns charge into battle for you.
But... personally stepping into the fray like this, unleashing an "ORA ORA" barrage with absolute power, feeling the primal, direct thrill of force colliding... seems... even more exhilarating!
"Victor and Venom defeated the sea monster!"
The Kraken was thoroughly beaten into submission, all its tentacles hanging limp and soft.
Its massive body curled into a ball, trembling and shrinking, emitting faint, pitiful whimpers, looking somewhat pitiable.
Its simple mind finally cleared from the manipulated frenzy, leaving only primal fear and... immense grievance.
But Victor hadn't truly gone for the kill; it was more of a "lesson" and a "beating into submission" posture.
After all, the creature was genuinely wronged.
Sleeping peacefully in its deep-sea home, it was forcibly dragged out by eerie music to serve as a thug, and then inexplicably subjected to such a brutal beating—who could it complain to?
"Victor, not fighting anymore?"
Venom tilted the massive head it controlled, its large white eyes gleaming with greedy, unsatisfied light. Its enormous tongue licked over sharp teeth as it rasped:
"I still want to taste this guy's brain... Its secondary brains were so deliciously bouncy, imagine how exquisite its main brain must be! Slurp——"
As it spoke, it swallowed saliva reminiscently, the sound unusually clear in the deep sea.
The Kraken shuddered violently in fear, tucking its head even tighter, almost curling into a ball.
"Enough, enough,"
Victor's voice carried a lazy, satisfied tone post-fight,
"It's just a manipulated puppet; a lesson to teach it a lesson is enough. Besides, it did'sing' to welcome us earlier, even if the tune was off."
Hearing this, the Kraken's huge head immediately began bobbing up and down like a pecking chicken, emitting submissive, faint whimpers, terrified that its brain would become a snack if it nodded too slowly.
"What are you doing?! Keep attacking! Don't you dare stop!"
Abraham Van Helsing stood on the crumbling DJ platform, roaring at the Kraken curled up below, his fingers trembling with extreme fury.
However, his response was dead silence.
The mountain-like beast not only disobeyed the command but shrank its massive body further into the ruins.
Several huge tentacles even instinctively shielded its freshly torn wounds and battered head.
It lazily glanced at the platform with its remaining intact eye, a gaze filled with remarkably human-like emotion—
A mix of intense disdain and contempt conveying "if you're so good, you do it," "stop yapping," and "I'm not serving anymore."
The look seemed to say: "Didn't you see how badly I was just beaten? Attack again? You go if you want; I'm certainly not!"
"Fine... just fine..."
Abraham was utterly enraged by this look, veins bulging on his forehead.
No longer relying on this useless beast, his withered fingers, like eagle talons, slammed onto the control console's buttons marked with dangerous skull symbols.
He prepared to recklessly increase output power, to play that ultimate, all-destroying symphony of doom!
Even if he couldn't control the beast, he'd drag all of Atlantis and these monsters down with him!
Just then—
"Psst~"
A clear, slightly teasing whistle sounded from extremely close behind him.
Abraham's blood almost froze instantly! He whirled around!
There stood Wednesday and Enid, who had appeared like ghosts, silent and unnoticed, not far behind him.
Wednesday stood with arms crossed, her pale face still wearing that perpetually cold expression, but a glint of "mission accomplished" flashed in her eyes.
What made Abraham's pupils contract and his eyes nearly burst with rage was—
Enid was extending a gleaming, sharp claw, its tip like a precision scalpel, gently resting on the thickest main cable connecting the massive speakers to the central control unit!
Her face wore a little devilish, provocative smile; her azure eyes blinked as if saying: "Guess what I'm about to do?"
"You wouldn't dare—!!!"
Abraham let out a roar of despair and fury, instinctively lunging to stop her!
But it was too late.
Wednesday and Enid exchanged a knowing look.
Wednesday raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly; Enid responded with an even brighter smile.
Then, her sharp claw gracefully, deftly, hooked sideways—
"Zzzt!"
A burst of crackling sparks!
That crucial cable snapped instantly!
Half the lights on the control console flickered out; the magical symphony emanating from the speakers, like a rooster with its neck wrung, emitted a screech of static before abruptly cutting off!
The world seemed to grow much quieter in an instant.
"Bastards! I'll kill you!!"
Abraham's rationality was completely consumed by rage; like a wounded beast, eyes bloodshot, he charged recklessly toward the two girls who had ruined his plans.
However, the moment he took a step—
"Hmph!"
An icy, heavily echoed snort, like polar wind, suddenly came from behind him!
Simultaneously, a jet of icy seawater, like a high-pressure water cannon, surged forth, drenching him thoroughly and nearly knocking him off his feet.
Abraham froze in place, his fury instantly extinguished by the bone-chilling cold, leaving only uncontrollable, primal fear.
His body began trembling uncontrollably, turning slowly, bit by bit, like rusty gears.
First entering his view was a chest as broad as a city wall, covered in dark blue and black scales.
His gaze trembled upward, past the ferocious, flow-black-substance-covered massive head, finally... meeting those enormous, eerily white, abyss-like eyes gazing down at him.
Victor, in his symbiotic demon form, slightly parted his massive mouth layered with sharp teeth.
A long, barbed tongue, like a serpent, extended, licking the tips of the sharp teeth.
A terrifying voice, blending Victor's mockery and Venom's hunger, rang like a funeral bell above his head:
"Old man, who do you want... to kill?"
