Chapter 65: Chapter 65: In the Face of Absolute Power, All Flashy Tricks Are Useless
"Why are there Star Beasts in the near-shore area's Fluorescent Beach? What are the Deep Sea Zone's security forces even doing!" Isabelle returned to the hotel, gazing at Tendo who was left alone on the beach, her expression grim as she spoke.
Beside her, Caroline also felt puzzled. According to the urban structure of Deep Blue Metropolis, this city wasn't a flat shape like ordinary cities; it was a three-dimensional structure, similar to a 3D diagram.
The coastal zone was on the surface of the sea, the near-shore zone was in the seawater, and the deep-sea zone was at the bottom of the seawater. This urban structure made the coastal and deep-sea zones the two most dangerous areas of Deep Blue Metropolis, while the near-shore zone, sandwiched in between, was quite safe.
Yet, in a place designated as a safe zone, over a dozen Star Beasts had suddenly appeared all at once. No matter how you looked at it, this was highly problematic. Thinking this, Caroline immediately had a bad feeling. She suspected that the appearance of these dozen-plus Star Beasts was no accident.
On Fluorescent Beach, twelve marine Star Beasts of various forms burst out of the water, one after another, advancing towards Tendo on the sand.
When they got close enough, one lobster-shaped marine Star Beast suddenly accelerated. Then, it opened the red pincers of its right arm, seemingly intending to snap Tendo in half at the waist. Unfortunately, before the lobster Star Beast's pincers could even close, Tendo's right hand became a blur, and with a "whoosh," it smacked its bulky lobster head.
Crack!
After a crisp shattering sound, the lobster Star Beast's sturdy shell, tough enough to withstand bullets, shattered in Tendo's hand like a fragile eggshell. Along with it, the lobster Star Beast's bulky head also shattered.
In an instant, a large amount of shell fragments mixed with some fresh red flesh, along with purple blood splattered everywhere in the air above Fluorescent Beach. Upon landing, they stained parts of the originally beautiful, pale blue glowing sand a bizarre purple.
"Boring..."
Looking at the lobster Star Beast he had casually swatted to death, Tendo didn't even bother to glance at it, raising his head again to look at the nearest marine Star Beast.
The next second, Tendo's figure suddenly blurred.
Bang, bang, bang—!
"Boring..."
"Still boring..."
Amidst continuous explosions, Tendo's figure constantly weaved among the various marine Star Beasts. Relying on the terrifying destructive power brought by Vector Control, these marine Star Beasts, which seemed incredibly powerful to ordinary people, were as weak as children in front of Tendo.
Some were impaled through the chest by Tendo's punch. Others had their heads split open by Tendo's hand chop. The most tragic one was a giant crab Star Beast, whose pair of pincers were forcefully ripped off by Tendo, then used as a meteor hammer to violently smash three other seafood-type Star Beasts.
"Too boring."
When the last Star Beast crashed to the ground, all dozen-plus marine Star Beasts that had come ashore had turned into cold corpses, lying motionless on Fluorescent Beach.
Tendo stepped on the corpse of this last Star Beast, his blue eyes staring directly at a certain spot on the sea surface. It was as if something existed on the seemingly empty ocean.
"Hey, what's the point of only sending some shrimp soldiers and crab generals? You wouldn't possibly think that just by relying on a bunch of trash like this, you could hold me back, would you?"
Seeing that Tendo had already seen through the Mechanical Shrine's optical camouflage, Claude and the others on the sea surface simply stopped pretending. As a distorted, illusory light shimmered across the sea surface outside Fluorescent Beach, four figures standing on a metal coffin slowly materialized from the fading optical camouflage.
Among these four, besides two strangers, the remaining two were old acquaintances of Tendo: Magma Fushan, Iron Coffin Claude, Shadow Weaver Lina, and Plague Doctor Visel.
These four stood on Claude's Mechanical Shrine, their expressions grim as they looked at Tendo on Fluorescent Beach.
Although they had anticipated that a few weak marine Star Beasts wouldn't pose much trouble for Tendo, they hadn't expected Tendo to dispatch those marine Star Beasts so easily. And judging by Tendo's appearance, he wasn't just not depleted; he didn't even seem to have warmed up.
Their meticulously prepared attrition tactic seemed like a clumsy joke in front of Tendo right now. This monster's strength... might even be beyond their initial estimations.
Looking at Tendo, who stood on the beach with a disdainful expression, Fushan spoke grimly, "Tendo, Star Source: Vector Control, a specialized type, its effect is to control the vectors of objects within a certain range around you."
"And as this Star Source ability is continuously developed, the range of controllable objects will become larger and larger, while the scale of controllable objects will become smaller and smaller, until it can even control the smallest Star Energy particles."
"Oh? You've really put in a lot of effort into me. It's not easy that you've even found out what my Star Source is so quickly."
"However, since you already know the effect of my Star Source, you should also know that just standing there won't guarantee your safety, will it?"
As Tendo spoke, he slowly raised his right hand. The next second, a black energy sphere began to gather at Tendo's fingertips. The silver wisps of hair on his forehead were also stirred by the airflow generated as the 'Black Azure' gathered, constantly fluttering.
Star Energy Technique—Black Azure!
The Black Azure, symbolizing death, tore through the air, streaking across the sky with a terrifying black light trail before flying precisely towards the four figures standing on the Iron Coffin.
"Scatter!"
Fushan roared, and immediately, four medium-sized volcano-shaped tumors grew on his back. Then, these volcano-shaped tumors, acting like thrusters, spewed out a large amount of lava, propelling him to narrowly avoid Tendo's fatal blow.
At the same time, the other three also displayed their unique abilities. Shadow Weaver Lina plucked the human bone harp in her hand, and numerous illusory musical notes transformed into tangible sound matter, carrying her body to another location. Plague Doctor Visel, on the other hand, let out a roar, and his legs rapidly swelled and enlarged in a blink of an eye, transforming into a pair of hairy wolf legs, leaping seven or eight meters away from the Iron Coffin.
As for Iron Coffin Claude, his automaton robot displayed a similar movement method to Fushan, expanding two thrusters on its back, propelling his body away from the Iron Coffin.
Boom!
The instant the four left the Iron Coffin, the Iron Coffin, struck directly by the Black Azure, exploded into countless pieces. A massive splash of water, over ten meters high, erupted from the sea surface.
Just as Fushan, still in mid-air, was secretly congratulating himself on his narrow escape from death, a demonic whisper suddenly came from above his head.
"I let you off once last time, and I didn't expect you to come back so quickly to die. It seems you... are really in a hurry to reincarnate."
Fushan fearfully looked up, only to find Tendo inexplicably inverted in mid-air above him, his feet defying physical laws as he walked on empty air as if on solid ground. Upon closer inspection, it turned out Tendo had inverted his own gravitational vector, thus achieving this bizarre phenomenon of hanging upside down in the sky.
However, achieving this step was not so easy. It not only required Tendo to have sufficient Star Energy, but also demanded that his control over vectors reached a horrifying level. After all, using Vector Control on one's own body was no simple matter. One wrong move, and it was entirely possible to kill oneself.
Looking at Tendo, who was so close, the fear of being dominated by Tendo in the supermarket instinctively resurfaced in Fushan's mind. So much so that he immediately raised his hand frantically, attempting to temporarily force Tendo back with lava sprayed from his palm. However, before he could activate his Star Energy ability, Tendo performed an overhead kick, striking his shoulder.
With a clear sound of bone cracking, Fushan heavily crashed into the Fluorescent Beach below.
Boom!
Fushan lay in the sand pit, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, clearly severely injured. But just as he was about to get up from the sand pit, a strange, immense force suddenly pressed down on his back, pinning him firmly in the sand pit.
Fushan looked with the corner of his eye, seeing Tendo smiling as he stood with one foot on his back, pointing a finger at him. At the tip of that finger, the deep black light unique to the Black Azure glowed. This... was light from hell!
Looking at Fushan, who was filled with terror and despair, Tendo chuckled, "You people, you just love to put on flashy shows."
"Don't you know that in the face of absolute power, your little tricks are like a clown's performance at a circus—ridiculous and laughable?"
With that, Tendo ignored Fushan's horrified expression and directly unleashed a Black Azure towards his head...
