Chapter 355 The Correct Use of Command?
"This guy...he looks...pretty good-looking..."
Nathan manually closed his jaw, which was almost dislocated, and said something that was hard to put into words.
Aurora looked in that direction and nodded in agreement with a serious expression.
This is absolutely not sarcasm or irony...
It really goes well with rice!
It's perfect for being steamed, grilled, fried, boiled, or otherwise prepared and served on the table!
The fermented dough, which had been desperately trying to squeeze out of the crack, finally broke free from its restraints, while the mud, sand, and stones that had been obscuring the view settled down.
All the fish fell silent.
The thing's body surface was a bit pinkish, with scattered, irregular dark patches like marble patterns. It had no face... and naturally, no eyes either, only a small mouth in the very center.
It stretched out its bread-like body from the seabed.
The four short, thick legs hidden underneath, when stretched out, together with the pointed head, form a rather imperfect five-pointed star.
In summary......
A super, super, super large starfish!
The massive creature, once revealed, instantly lost its imposing presence and mystery, leaving only a first impression that whets the appetite ค(TㅅT).
Not only were the fish speechless,
The audience on Earth also wanted to complain:
[This must be a sentient abyss rift, judging by the situation... is there a buffet down there?]
Now I finally understand why Cthulhu isn't a starfish...
[This... a long-legged guy and Patrick Star, are they debuting as a fat and thin couple?]
[One is a tall bamboo pole on stilts, the other a round earthenware pot—why aren't they a tall-short couple!]
The fat starfish could be said to have five legs, or it could be said to have no legs at all, but clearly...
It has no idea what standing is.
After a brief two-second struggle, this mountain of flesh instinctively figured out its own efficient way of moving—
Lie down.
Stand to the side.
scroll!
"Gurgle gurgle—"
The mountain of flesh turned into a wheel of flesh, and the uneven seabed was crushed into a broad road. The corpses that could not escape became stickers on the road.
What kind of underwater road roller is this?!
But for the "long-legged" one who dominated the battlefield, it was a double torment of both mind and body.
The fat starfish has no vision and doesn't care about its path; it rolls straight at the legs of the person standing in the stance.
Oh my god!
The long-legged beauty couldn't care less about Renyi and [Abyss].
The dozen or so stilts began to crisscross frantically, moving desperately, but the deadly little fat thing occupied a fifth of the battlefield. While the mermaids could still swim into the air, it had nowhere to escape.
"Bang!"
It collided with a long, thick leg. Its bouncy, thick skin became an impenetrable armor, and the long leg's sharp hair was stuck deep in the fat layer, unable to penetrate any further.
On the contrary, the long-legged one stumbled and almost lost her balance and fell to the ground.
The long-legged beauty panicked.
The two of them were like drunkards fighting in the street, causing widespread collateral damage. Fortunately, the smaller monsters had been mostly cleared out, and Riseben and Fak Squid directed the guards to retreat from the dark wall in an orderly manner.
Involving them in the upcoming battles would only result in unnecessary sacrifices.
Liv and Arthur arrived on the deck of the Abyss.
"Killing them wouldn't be difficult for you, would it, Granny Li?"
He asked tentatively.
If he could get the sea monster to attack directly, he could save some energy, and ideally... he could even let it finish him off ヾ(Ő∀Ő๑)ﾉ
Liv glanced at Ren Yi, as if she could see right through his little scheme.
"it's useless."
She spoke helplessly:
"I know what you're thinking, but... these things can't be killed."
"My grandma is right. They are extensions of the abyss. Even if we 'kill' them this time, they will be 'reborn' in other forms before long."
Arthur solemnly explained to the fish from out of town.
"If we cripple them, drive them back into the rift, and seal and suppress them with the power of our royal family, we can enjoy peace for a longer period of time."
They also tried to 'plug' the crack with mithril.
However, judging from this result... it's not very useful.
"And each seal greatly depletes the life force of the suppressor; my father was one of them..."
The outcome is self-evident.
Arthur thought with emotion that perhaps the reason God sent Yi Ran to save his life was for this very moment.
"It's not your place, you junior," Liv snapped.
"What good is your little skill?"
She clenched her fist loosely, clearly intending to hit her grandson with the bone cane she had used before, but then remembered that her bone cane had been sacrificed, so she could only glare fiercely at Ren Yi.
Any: "?"
Why are you glaring at me? What's it to me?
However, he quickly put the matter out of his mind and instead focused on watching the two drunkards fight:
After the fat starfish bumped into the long-legged creature and twisted one of its legs, it started rolling around on the spot because it couldn't find a target. The long-legged creature carefully kept all its legs at a distance from it, and the situation became a stalemate.
One is a numerical monster with a single attack pattern, but normal intelligence.
another......
Seems like a tank, IQ... probably negative.
Random's gaze finally landed on the fat starfish.
He brought up the system panel.
The progress bar below the [Domination] skill icon, which was originally full, dropped from 98.9% to 13.1% after Ivan and Klaus cleared the area.
—When a controlled unit dies, the control quota is released.
Whether this skill can be successfully controlled depends mainly on "mental judgment".
The success rate is affected by the other party's level and subjective willingness.
So...
What if a creature's intelligence is so low that it doesn't even have the concept of "resistance"?
Doesn't that mean there was no "subjective will" at all?
determination......
Does that mean 100% success?
As if casually appraising a superior friend, they carefully examined every angle of the rolling fat starfish.
Their movements are highly random, and they don't even know how to fight back when attacked.
Does this thing... even have a brain?
He was very skeptical.
"Any brother?"
Arthur stared at him silently for a long time, a faint light emanating from his body, and spoke as if giving his last instructions.
"Don't worry, even if I'm gone, the friendship between the Deep Blue Kingdom and the Benevolent Society will continue—"
"etc......"
interrupt him at will —
Dude, now is not the time to make bold predictions!
He turned his head and, through the transparent observation chamber, gave a gentle smile to the worried mermaids outside.
"perhaps,"
"No need for that."
He simply stretched out his finger and pointed it towards the adorable, silly mountain of flesh below, and countless eyes opened up on the ship's hull once more:
"Let me try first."
