In this cyberpunk era, why are you still playing the traditional villain?

has a problem!

"Activate the protective force field to its maximum!"

Xu Shi sensed something was wrong and quickly shouted.

The voice just fell.

A tsunami surged into the sky, creating a water curtain dozens of meters high that instantly blurred everyone's vision!

The ultimate boss, who had been lurking nearby, finally revealed its true form in this way.

"This is... 'Poseidon'?!"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 233 The Spear Strikes Like a Dragon!

The tsunami triggered by Poseidon's emergence from the water caused the ship to rock violently, and it took a while for it to gradually stabilize.

Upon seeing the colossal object before them, all three groups held their breath in unison.

This is still everyone

But whatever it is, it's almost unbearable to look at—the features described earlier are indeed there: the sharp beak of a sailfish, the shell of a sea turtle... its body also has several pairs of wing-like fins, which, although not enough to support it to fly, are small and quite cute.

The tentacles had sharp fangs on their mouthparts, which contracted rhythmically with their breathing, constantly dripping mucus downwards.

Xu Shi blinked and immediately understood why the profile Xie Qingyan had shown earlier was different from the picture book from the Hua Lan Empire—in fact, no one was wrong, or rather, no one was wrong. The versions were different because everyone only saw a part of this guy, like the blind men and the elephant, and only when they were put together was it complete.

Or perhaps it's still incomplete? Maybe it's still part of the sea god; who can say for sure what will happen in the vast ocean that we can't see through?

However, it's true that this thing looks so inhuman that he himself is experiencing some physical discomfort.

No one would like to see such a slimy, ugly monster.

"It's a bit disgusting..."

He couldn't help but complain, a nonsensical thought flashing through his mind: "Why isn't it an octopus girl?"

and also,

But now is not the time to criticize appearances; the main thing is to focus all our efforts on dealing with it.

No one dared to underestimate this terrifying sea god, not only because of its enormous size, but also because the air around it became oppressive and suffocating the moment it appeared and stopped concealing its aura.

The most obvious example is probably the two sisters, Feng and Ling. The girls looked like they had trouble breathing and their faces turned pale.

This is simply a matter of overwhelming presence, just like when Xu Shi first faced his maternal grandfather. At that time, the old man was just sitting in a wheelchair and did nothing, but he still made Xu Shi feel an unconscious sense of dread.

Or rather, the ability to perfectly conceal one's aura and control it at will already reflects just how powerful this sea god is... SS-level without a doubt, probably even stronger than Wen Shengkui.

In comparison, the sisters' ability level is indeed too low, so it's normal for them to react this way.

"Would it be better to use this?"

Seeing this, Xie Qingyan quickly brought oxygen cylinders, which prevented their condition from deteriorating further.

"Thank you, thank you... Auntie Xie."

The two sisters, Feng and Ling, responded weakly.

You guys really won't change your tune?

Despite the tense situation, the dog of a woman couldn't help but roll her eyes. Would it kill her to call her "Master's Wife"?

But now is not the time to dwell on this. Xu Shi had already led the others to the deck. "Hurry!"

"...Take good care of them."

Xie Qingyan was taken aback and hurriedly chased after them, leaving the two sisters and Xia Ke'an, the three little ones, to guard the place.

As for who she had taken care of, that's hard to say... Anyway, out of the three, only Xia Ke'an seemed unharmed and could move around freely.

Against an opponent of this caliber, passive defense is absolutely not the way to go, because Poseidon had already launched an attack before they even finished speaking.

The enormous tentacles swept across and slammed into the ship in an instant, causing it to shake violently once again.

Fortunately, Xu Shi had turned the protective force field to its maximum power in advance, and the invisible barrier buffered the deadly impact to the greatest extent, preventing it from advancing any further.

Even so, the strong tremors still affected everyone to some extent; the power was truly terrifying.

Even worse were the combat personnel who had been dispersed earlier. The large ships were already struggling to defend themselves, let alone the small boats, which were capsized in an instant, dragging the soldiers into the water, their cries of agony echoing everywhere.

In this situation, once you fall into the water, there is absolutely no chance of survival—tentacles are already lurking below, waiting for their prey, eager to greedily devour them.

The sea was instantly littered with debris, crimson blood rippled outwards, and the stench in the air grew even stronger.

Sure enough, it was this sea god feeding just now, only he was eating the various kinds of sea fish here...

Good grief, so this is a group team fighting a boss, right? And it's a world boss... Looking at everything happening around him, Xu Shi suddenly had this thought.

It did give him the feeling of staying up all night playing games in his past life, but now that he had personally joined the battle, the sense of déjà vu was even stronger.

The brave warriors stood proudly on the rolling ocean, appearing as insignificant as dust before the colossal creature.

While I was pondering, Poseidon's offensive struck again.

Then it twitched violently, and then suddenly sprayed out countless ink-like water bullets from its body, covering the sky and raining down like raindrops.

"Worry-free!"

"Yes!"

Without him saying anything, Xia Wuyou had already changed into his combat gear, turned on his goggles, and flew towards the Sea God.

We must take the initiative to restrain them in order to change this situation of being constantly attacked and regain some control!

"Suwei" went all out, and a faint light appeared on her body. The tiny dust blade was drawn and charged forward against the gods!

With a single slash, it seemed as if the air itself was sliced ​​open, landing on the water bullet and instantly engulfing it!

This is different from Luo Yu's devouring, but rather a collapse caused by her ability, just like cutting the bomb before, only now the range is wider and the effect is better, and she is becoming more and more adept at controlling it.

It's clear that not only did her signature weapon bring her an improvement, but "Ascension II" also finally took effect, allowing her to successfully break through her own limits and reach the S+ level.

The remaining water bullets that couldn't be completely blocked were mostly neutralized by her surrounding domain, deflected as if by force, and fell straight into the sea—her gravity domain was no longer a small area of ​​a few meters; with full power, its coverage was beyond everyone's imagination.

Following closely behind was Shen Qin—just like last time, Xia Wuyou granted her the advantage of anti-gravity, allowing her to walk on flat ground in mid-air.

Using her self-healing ability, Miss Shen Qin was able to easily cut through the water curtain and, together with Xia Wuyou, do her best to neutralize the Sea God's attack.

Ding--

In the blink of an eye, Xia Xiaomao flashed in front of the sea god and slashed down with all her might, landing first on its huge tentacles.

The disparity in size made the scene look like a mosquito bite; at least from Xu Shi's angle, Xia Wuyou's figure was already somewhat indistinct.

But this one move had a surprisingly explosive effect.

Then the space in that area began to distort, and the dark aftershocks rippled out like an explosion, causing a section of the tentacle to disappear!

boom--

The severed limbs fell into the water with a deafening bang, like a bomb exploding!

"!!!!!!"

Poseidon seemed to possess pain receptors, and such injury was certainly not pleasant for it. Its body began to convulse violently, and its originally translucent, jet-black body began to turn red.

Red and warm!

"well played!"

Standing at the bow of the ship, Xu Shi exclaimed in admiration and shouted into the radio, "Yu Xingchuan, how are things on your end?"

"...It's alright! I can handle it!"

The adjutant's response was brief and hurried, and somewhat inaudible under the cover of gunfire.

Her warship was naturally firing at full power from the start—inching closer to the sea god amidst a hail of water bullets. Once within range, all sorts of shells began raining down on the monster, and the crew members on board unleashed a barrage of fire from every angle, doing everything they could to inflict damage, regardless of whether they could hit it or not.

Unfortunately, such an offensive had little effect on the Sea God. The monster may have looked soft, but it was actually quite tough. Unless it was a precise, pinpoint strike like Xia Wuyou's, it was really hard to shake it.

"How long will it take for the other fleets to arrive?"

Xu Shi took a deep breath. Faced with this situation, he had to play some more cards.

Even though the damage is minimal, you still have to keep attacking. At least the damage will make this thing lose health; otherwise, it's completely useless...

"I had them on standby before we set sail, it won't take too long... damn it!"

Yu Xingchuan's answer was interrupted as several giant water bullets were seen flying towards her.

She flicked her wrist, and a huge metal shield instantly unfolded, which, combined with a protective force field, blocked the attack without serious damage.

She had to command the ships to provide fire support, so she couldn't join the battle like Xia Wuyou and Shen Qin. All she could do was defend.

The same applies to Xu Shi herself. Xia Xiaomao's gravity field ultimately has blind spots, and she cannot be all-encompassing when facing an opponent like the Sea God. That would only hinder her progress and weaken her strength.

Fortunately, Xu Shi had his own methods. With the "Jade Capital" force field activated, he was able to block these water bullets.

He intercepted one of them and then realized that these water bullets were not just the slime on the sea god's body, but were actually wrapped around a large number of fish!

These sea fish are all highly poisonous, and even if they are blown apart, it is still bad if even a little bit gets on them.

It's clear that this sea god possesses a certain level of intelligence; he's not just a large, unassuming creature.

Fortunately, its intelligence has not yet reached the level of humans, which is a blessing in disguise. Such an attack is ultimately one-dimensional, and with the ships running at full speed and all sides fighting hard, it is still possible to resolve most of the attack.

Unfortunately, no one can really have it easy – as the saying goes, strength can overcome any skill, and absolute power is enough to neutralize most clever tricks.

The sheer barrage of tentacles and water bombs alone is enough to make people complain endlessly.

At least Xu Shi was really struggling. For a non-combatant like him, being able to block water bullets from all directions was already the limit. The main problem was that his abilities were useless against the Sea God. The influence of a low-intelligence creature on its emotions was negligible, unless it was determined to provoke hatred... which he didn't want to do.

The occasional tentacles that kept popping up seemed a bit beyond his capabilities.

Fortunately, someone else was taking care of this part—just as they were speaking, a tentacle swung over, but it stiffened in mid-air and suddenly fell limply into the sea, unable to stand upright any longer.

It is Xie Qingyan.

The dog woman was also maximizing the "ability nullification" aura, covering the entire command ship and the surrounding sea area as much as possible.

This can be considered a very effective defense – Poseidon's attacks are endless and all-pervasive, all stemming from his numerous, Frankenstein-like abilities.
