The Enormous Monster at Sea!

"Sizzle..."

"This is Cruiser BA3."

"Report the latest progress."

"No trace of the siren has been found yet."

"It's been a month, and still not a single clue?"

"Yes, I... damn it!"

"My God..."

"Hey, what happened?!"

"We... we saw something... BOOM!!"

"Sizzle..."

"Calling headquarters, this is Cruiser Squadron BA2!"

"Report the situation immediately!"

"We... we saw a giant octopus, or something like a squid, it was terrifyingly big!"

"My God, it's bigger than two blue whales combined!"

"We need the video footage, now!"

"We... Boom!!"

Recently, two cruiser fleets of a certain country sank in succession.

No video or audio data was transmitted during this period; only two blurry audio recordings were received.

The surrounding coastal countries remained silent in response.

"Something bigger than a blue whale, like an octopus or a squid?"

"What do you think that is, a giant squid?"

"A giant squid can't possibly be as big as a blue whale, let alone two blue whales, unless it's some kind of prehistoric creature..."

"Could it be a creature from the Cretaceous period?"

"Impossible."

"Leaving aside how it survived the mass extinction, even assuming it was frozen in the deep sea, it couldn't possibly have lived for nearly 4 million years!"

"What I mean is, is it possible that this is a remnant of some kind of prehistoric octopus species that we haven't discovered yet?"

"Whether it's an octopus or a squid, I don't think they have the ability to destroy two cruiser fleets in an instant!"

Have you contacted the GOC?

"We've made contact, but... there's a serious problem within GOC, and it's currently undergoing a rescheduling and preparation phase."

"So, we can't count on GOC anymore?"

Just then, an image suddenly entered their meeting.

Good morning, or rather, good evening, everyone.

"My Qin Leng, former chief of the O5 Council of the Nine-Tailed Fox, and now the sole supreme commander."

One of them took a cigar, cut off a piece, and said, "I've heard of you. Nine-Tails, right?"

"But I don't recall us inviting you."

"You're being a bit presumptuous."

Upon hearing this, Qin Leng put his hands behind his back and said, "Excuse my bluntness, whatever you saw at sea, whatever it was, was beyond your control."

"The Nine-Tails will be involved in this operation. Of course, I am not asking you all for permission; I am simply informing you."

The man holding the cigar's gaze sharpened. "Wait, Commander Qin, I have a question for you. Do you mean what you've said represent only yourself, or the country you're backing?"

"If this only represents your personal opinion, I think we can treat it as listening to a rather farcical play."

"If this is the opinion of the country behind you, I think you should have someone else tell us that you are not qualified."

Upon hearing this, Qin Leng said calmly, "What I represent is perhaps too complicated for you to understand."

"To borrow from Zhang Zai's four lines, I am committed to establishing a heart for Heaven and Earth, establishing a destiny for the people, continuing the lost learning of the past sages, and creating peace for all generations."

The translators all looked troubled after hearing Qin Leng's words.

"Why did he stop talking? What was he saying?"

"Uh... He said he borrowed four sentences from Mr. Zhang: 'My heart is for heaven and earth, for the lives of the people, for the sacred inheritance of scholarship, and for eternal peace.'"

Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances. "Do we have any famous quotes we can take back and use to roast each other?"

"Uh... this..."

"I am not here to argue with you. This is my purpose. If you value your lives, then let your people leave the sea."

After Qin Leng finished speaking, he immediately cut off the communication.

Inside the Rift Space.

Chen Ye closed his eyes and tilted his head, sketching out a scene in his mind.

An anatomical diagram.

Previously, Chen Ye had 002 capture giant marine creatures such as blue whales and giant squid.

They extracted numerous cells from this source and fused them together to create the first version of the Gigantification Potion.

The actual application results were not particularly successful, at least not reaching the scale that Chen Ye had expected.

After taking the drug, 002's body rapidly swelled and grew larger, but its limbs remained, and it even retained some of its human form.

However, it has been given many new fish-like characteristics.

Its height when standing upright is nearly 80 meters, its shoulder width is 19 meters, and its weight is currently immeasurable. Its head is shaped like the bones of a lizard, and the back of its head is covered with tentacles of squid or octopus.

These tentacles are not only on the back of the head, but also on other limbs.

His entire body was like a polymer twisted together by tentacles, with multiple nested mouths in the mouth of his head.

After standing upright in the sea, 002's head emerged from the water, resembling some kind of giant squid or octopus.

The shape of its head alone is quite similar to that of the terrifying nautilus.

Perhaps it is because humans are born with a fear of unknown creatures, or perhaps it is because giant creatures themselves frighten small life forms, but after evolving into a new form, 002 has developed an inherent characteristic called fear.

People with weak willpower will be immediately overwhelmed by fear upon seeing 002's appearance, trembling all over and unable to move.

This was an unexpected bonus.

Chen Ye was researching the characteristics of fear and the unknown, and the breakthrough in 002's characteristics gave him direction.

In addition, 002's original inherent and secondary abilities were enhanced.

002 can split its own body to create higher-level followers, which Chen Ye named Dagon.

002 himself refers to Dagon as a priest.

These creatures cannot transform into humans; they will remain in their Fishman form, possessing abilities far exceeding those of the Deep One.

They can also control the tides to a certain extent and perform rituals with special abilities.

At the same time, these units, known as Dagon, can convert Deep One in large numbers and control Deep One.

One interesting point is that 002 does not have the ability to control the tides.

But his every move can stir up huge waves.

002's original sonic abilities have also been enhanced, and the limit of the sonic waves he emits can cover half of the earth in an instant.

Furthermore, these sound waves can be selectively received by certain organisms.

Simply put, 002 can choose who can't hear his voice.

For example, if he doesn't want someone to hear his voice, his sound waves will automatically avoid that person.

In addition to sensing the location and physical characteristics of living beings, 002's sound waves now have an additional ability.

That is a certain degree of Mental Contamination.

This kind of Mental Contamination isn't particularly intense, but if you hear it for a long time, your mind will become confused and fragile, bordering on madness.

These are the changes Chen Ye observed, in addition to the changes described by 002 himself.

To ensure that no information was missed, Chen Ye examined 002 again with a magnifying glass.

Believe it or not, Chen Ye actually saw a piece of information that neither of them knew about.

"The Mystery of the Ocean is Resurrecting."
