Gu Qian responded in a muffled voice, and pulled out a super spiked club from behind him, which was covered with ferocious spikes and comparable to a battering ram.
The four-person group, with an aggressive and ruthless stride, charged towards the sea area where the Star-Devouring Whale might be lurking.
"Plop!" "Plop!" "Plop!"
Three loud splashes of water echoed in succession.
"Damn! I forgot that whales live in the water!"
Qingyu thrashed about in the water, his seven-colored machete nearly sinking to the bottom.
"Cough cough cough! My hairstyle!"
Er Kang's sickle became a heavy anchor, dragging him down.
"Gululu..."
Because Gu Qian was the heaviest, it sank the fastest.
Zhang Chu, the only one still standing on the shore, looked at his three teammates struggling in the sea. Veins bulged on his forehead, and the lightning hammer in his hand crackled with electricity. Finally, he squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth:
"No way... you three... are you out of your minds?!"
I can’t carry it, I really can’t carry it!
On the other side, high in the sky, lies Sky Island, invisible to ordinary people.
"Bang! Bang bang bang bang! Boom—!!!"
The once sacred, tranquil, and solemn Sky Island is now experiencing an unprecedented physical shock.
It was like a huge ball being constantly slapped, violently contracting, expanding, swaying left and right, and even spinning at high speed without any dignity for several rounds before finally stabilizing after a while, and the clouds on its surface had thinned considerably.
In the center of the island, the Wolf King elegantly flicked non-existent dust off his greatsword, his cold electronic eyes sweeping over the various rulers before him.
The ruler of death, Nona, clutched her visibly swollen buttocks (heaven knows how the mech managed to hit that spot so precisely), tears welling in her eyes, her face filled with resentment and unwillingness, but she still bit her lip and nodded, indicating that she was convinced.
The alchemist Rhinedoth, who had merged with the ruling Nabe of life, was now upside down, like an inverted onion stuck in the soft divine soil, with only his two legs sticking out outside, kicking weakly, temporarily incapacitated.
Meanwhile, Ishtar, the ruler of the time, huddled in a corner, hugging her knees, her body trembling slightly, seemingly muttering to herself, "Time...time isn't used like this...it's too brutal..."
The wolf king broke the awkward silence with his emotionless, mechanical voice:
"Calm down now."
"Next..."
He stepped forward, and a huge shadow fell over the three (one of whom was upside down) rulers.
"I need you to do something."
Chapter 97 The Star-Eating Whale
In a strange, ethereal space with rippling water.
The Star-Devouring Whale was drifting aimlessly, its enormous body swaying slowly, exuding a distant and ancient aura.
"Now's the time! Charge!!"
With a shout bursting with chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur), a 20-meter-tall, all-blue, cool (and familiar-looking) shark-humanoid mecha—"Water Blue"—suddenly burst out from a wave that appeared out of nowhere!
With lightning speed and precision, it seized the star-devouring whale that had just leaped out of the water!
"Take this, you stinky whale! I'll show you the might of a man of the sea (a Hilichurl)!"
Inside the driver's cab of the Water Blue vehicle, Er Kang gripped the control lever tightly, his face flushed with excitement, and shouted into the communicator.
"Hey! Qingyu! Did you capture everything? My heroic figure! Don't miss a single frame!"
Er Kang didn't forget to remind the photographers outside the venue.
"Don't worry! Don't worry! Four ultra-high-definition cameras are pointed at you from all angles! We guarantee to capture your... uh, your heroic figure clearly!"
Not far away, in a submarine with a distinctly different style, Qingyu was munching on popcorn while operating several screens, his tone filled with the excitement of watching a good show.
The original plan was for the four of them to gang up on the giant whale, but the moment Er Kang saw it, he got carried away with his passion (or perhaps just his enthusiasm), and forcibly summoned his long-unseen personal mecha "Water Blue," insisting on a "1V1 battle between men," and strongly demanding that Qing Yu serve as the on-site director to record his "god-like moment."
"Come on! The time for the final battle has come!"
Erkang shoved away the Star-Devouring Whale that was trying to slap him with its tail, controlled Shui Xinglan to do a backflip and leap into the air, then plummeted down with the force of Mount Tai crashing down!
"A crow flies an airplane—!!!"
With Er Kang's roar, Shui Xinglan, with immense force, slammed the Star-Devouring Whale into the water with a thunderous crash, creating towering waves!
"OOLA OOLA OOLA OOLA!!!"
Undeterred by his momentum, Er Kang pressed his advantage, Shui Xinglan's fists moving so fast they left countless afterimages as he relentlessly pounded the massive body of the Star-Devouring Whale like a pile driver.
The muffled thuds continued, and the Star-Devouring Whale was forced to retreat steadily, emitting deep groans.
"Too weak! Too weak! Is that all? It's not even enough to fill my teeth!"
Er Kang, smug and overconfident, uttered a standard villainous taunt.
Inside the submarine, Zhang Chu stared at the screen, his fist hardening: "This guy is really asking for a beating... My hands are itching, my Thunder Hammer is calling me."
However, just as Er Kang reached his peak—
The Star-Devouring Whale, which had been under constant pressure, suddenly raised one of its massive fins and, with an agility beyond its enormous size, precisely grabbed Water Blue's mechanical fist, which was unleashing a furious barrage of attacks!
"What the hell?!"
The three people in the submarine simultaneously cursed, dropping the popcorn in their mouths in fright.
Something even more astonishing happened!
The giant tail fin of the Star-Devouring Whale, originally used for swimming, suddenly bent downwards, standing firmly like two thick legs! Its huge pectoral fins twisted flexibly, transforming into two powerful arms!
The Star-Devouring Whale! It has risen!
The next second, this fighting whale, which had undergone an astonishing evolution, gave Er Kang a solid lesson!
It grabbed Shui Xinglan's arm and executed a clean and swift over-the-shoulder throw!
The Water Blue's massive body was slammed into the water, sending up even higher splashes than before!
"No way! This thing can do a slam?! Referee! It's a foul!"
Er Kang made an incredulous comment in the violently shaking cockpit.
But this is just the beginning!
Having stood up again, the Star-Devouring Whale seemed to have some strange switch flipped, and began to unleash a series of combo attacks!
Qingyu even subconsciously added sound effects to it:
"Screw coil—!"
The Star-Devouring Whale used its tail to support its body as it spun at high speed, and lashed out with its fin at the head of the Water-Blue!
"Ouch!" (Erkang's scream)
"The sleeping bear suddenly wakes up—!"
It leaped up suddenly and slammed the tip of its hardened tail fin into the chest of the Water Blue!
"Ouch, my goodness!" (Erkang's second scream)
"Mantis Fist—!"
Its twin fins pierced through the aquamarine's abdominal armor with rapid, continuous thrusts, like a mantis hunting its prey!
"Ah!" (Erkang's scream began to change tone)
Finally, the Whale Devouring Planet performed an ultimate move that sent chills down the spines of all the spectators (including the three inside the submarine)!
It suddenly bent down, one fin clenched tightly (?), and with lightning speed, dug upwards at the weak spot in the armor between Shui Xinglan's legs!
"Monkeys stealing peaches!!!!"
"Aaaaaaaaahh ...
A piercing scream, so intense it seemed to tear the soul apart, emanated from the cockpit of the Water Blue mech, even penetrating the soundproofing of the mech and submarine!
Inside the submarine, Qingyu, Zhang Chu, and Gu Qian instinctively squeezed their legs together, turning their toes inward, their faces showing expressions of shared pain.
Zhang Chu gasped, his voice trembling, "It...it looks painful..."
Gu Qian's honest face was filled with fear: "Too...too brutal..."
Qingyu silently turned off the camera and murmured, "This part... it's probably best not to include it in the documentary... it's too cruel to the audience and Erkang..."
Seeing the Star-Devouring Whale brutally beating up Shui Xinglan, everyone turned their gaze away.
Chapter 98 Er Kang: "You dog of an author! Give me the damn thing!"
"How did the Star-Devouring Whale suddenly become like this? Did one of you feed it martial arts instructional videos?"
Gu Qian scratched his head, his huge face filled with confusion.
"It couldn't be me. I've been focusing on my photography art all along!"
Qingyu immediately raised his hands to indicate the camera screen he was operating.
"Look, the camera is very steady; it hasn't cut out at all!"
"I'm not that bored."
Zhang Chu coldly denied it while holding the thunder hammer, then added another sentence.
"Besides, it's impossible for Er Kang, that idiot, to do that. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been beaten so badly by a combo that he almost turned his mecha into a eunuch."
The four (including Er Kang, who was still rubbing his private parts on the communication channel) were silent for three seconds, then suddenly struck by inspiration, and roared in unison at the void:
"It's that damn author—!!!"
"You dog of an author! You're just making things up when you have nothing better to do! You've got nothing better to do, haven't you! Go to hell!!!"
Er Kang's resentment soared to the heavens. Suddenly, Shui Xinglan raised her enormous mechanical arm and forcefully tore apart the barrier of space and time, slapping across the long "river of time"!
The next second, a hapless author in the real world who was diligently typing away was suddenly slapped away by a giant mechanical hand that appeared out of nowhere, turning into a star in the sky.
Shui Xinglan's hand precisely caught the phone that had been falling freely as the author flew away, and her fingers deftly (and ridiculously) began typing on the screen with one hand!
