Chapter 1895: The Heaven-Defying Luck Of an Octopus

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Wade hugged one of the androids and started yammering away on the team channel. “Oh my god, an ally. That scared me to death…”

Luke didn’t want to bother with this mutant baby. He simply had the androids rinse Wade off in the ocean before tossing him onto the Quinjet.

Going out into the ocean for some hanky panky – he deserved to be turned into sh*t.

If the couple hadn’t been playing around, Wade wouldn’t have almost turned into fish sh*t.

Of course, Luke didn’t hate this sort of guy who could draw out the boss’s ire to the max. After all, he had lured out the octopus!

Wade didn’t forget to ask, “Bro, where’s my wife? You didn’t lose her, did you? … How much money can I get this time? … This armor can be considered workplace damage, right? Hm, I got a workplace injury, right?”

Luke didn’t answer anything except the question about his wife.

If he responded, this guy would definitely perk up even more.

More importantly, this guy really did look like a piece of sh*t.

The armor was corroded in many places, and an emergency shutdown had already been activated for some of the weaker joints.

Wade’s legs and arms had completely decomposed.

If it were anyone else, Luke’s heart would definitely be heavy.

But Wade… Sorry, even if only his head was left, he wouldn’t be able to stop talking.

He would recover in ten to 14 days – it was really hard to sympathize with him.

That being said, he was a teammate who had been attacked on a mission.

There was no way Luke wouldn’t retaliate on Wade’s behalf. He had to fight the giant octopus, or he wouldn’t be able to justify Wade turning into sh*t.

These thoughts flashed through Luke’s mind, and he murmured, “I hope the power of faith is enough.”

As he spoke, a set of top-notch defense gear appeared behind Luke. It swiftly latched onto Luke’s armor with a clang.

Then, the three-meter-tall suit shot downward.

The vibranium charger inside the helmet continued to absorb the special vibrations coming out of his mouth and quickly accumulated enough energy.

Just before the suit hit the ocean, an amplified shock wave was released.

A round hole 1.5 meters in diameter and 100 meters long appeared in the ocean.

The huge suit shot unhindered into the air tunnel.

Luke traveled close to the speed of sound.

From the side, he looked like a straight line headed diagonally toward the fleeing giant octopus.

Less than ten seconds later, the white line approached the octopus.

Sensing the danger, the giant octopus subconsciously sped up.

As if he had predicted it, Luke attacked.

Boom!

The special shock wave hit the giant octopus in the head.

Ripples spread out over the light yellow head, and a light yellow semi-liquid substance splattered over the surface like cement.

Hiss!

The giant octopus couldn’t help but roar in shock.

This wasn’t its own feelings; it was because the symbiote was in pain, which caused the giant octopus to roar.

Puchi!

Shrouded in a layer of white light, a silver blade easily broke through the skin and disappeared into the huge wound that had just appeared.

Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!

The excruciating pain in its head reminded the giant octopus of things it had almost forgotten.

It was the fear of being screwed over twice by the same person!

Those were the only two times in decades that it had fled.

After swallowing the Blood Orchid extract, it had gradually become smarter.

After fleeing in fear for the second time at the South Pole, it had hidden in deep waters, and had inadvertently eaten a crazy killer whale with yellow eyes.

Since then, there had been a problem with its brain.

But the giant octopus wasn’t smart enough to figure it out. It had been guided by an inexplicable urge to the Norwegian Sea, only to run into Luke, who hit it twice more.

If it could speak human language, it would definitely sigh: The life of a fish was too hard.

But no matter how unwilling the giant octopus was, it had to endure Luke’s attacks.

Luke used Vibration to clear the way, and the white power of faith on his katana slashed at the octopus tentacles that blocked him.

The giant octopus hadn’t been able to react at first, and Luke cut ten meters into it like a hot knife through butter.

Then, countless squirming yellow semi-liquid tentacles stretched out on both sides to attack him like crazy.

Despite the shock wave, the symbiote, Shriek, was actually still resistant.

Of the symbiotes that had appeared so far, it was the only one that could withstand such a high-intensity shock wave and still maintain its symbiote form.

All the shock wave did was disturb its symbiote form slightly and reduce its strength by under half.

That was astonishing enough.

For example, the dog head and Venom would be forced to come out of the symbiosis and take on their true form in a matter of seconds, and would basically be powerless.

Luke felt helpless. Who the hell knew what sort of monster had been created by the Shriek + giant octopus combo?!

According to prior information, Shriek shouldn’t be able to resist the shock wave at all, just like how it shouldn’t be able to give its host the ability to affect minds.

What was a bigger headache was that it probably wasn’t Shriek who had heaven-defying luck, but the octopus.

It was one of the few existences that could appear in front of Luke three times and be stronger each time.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Luke’s strength and methods improved at an even faster rate, he wouldn’t even have the ability to break through its defenses now.

Every now and then, Luke would wonder if this guy had obtained a ‘super octopus king system’ of its own.

Surrounded on all sides, Luke struggled to advance another ten meters.

He had to admit that there were times when thick skin really came in useful.

Even the Chitauri mothership would suffer severe damage when pierced 20 meters through.

But for this giant octopus, it was like an ordinary person scratching their head.

Not to mention, it had the super regenerative symbiote.

If a nuclear missile was stuffed inside here, the chance of it dying was less than 30%, while the chance of the Big Dipper clone dying was more than 95%.

The Level 2 clone would only cost him a million credit points. Luke wouldn’t feel too bad about it.

However, if he couldn’t blow up the giant octopus this time, it would definitely go even deeper into hiding, and it would be hard to find it.

Besides, the bald female bigshot from the Foresight Drawing hadn’t appeared yet. It would be too hasty to attack the giant octopus now.

Somehow, Luke felt that the appearance of this female bigshot had an extraordinary meaning for him.

Thus, Luke wasn’t in a hurry to do anything. Instead, he continued to fend off the octopus’s crazy counterattack and dug deeper into its head.
