Monster Genesis

Lin Han looked at the scene, feeling emotional.

"With the appetite of seven Thunderstorm Kings, at this rate, it's only a matter of time before the other dinosaurs starve… I wonder when you'll realize that?"

Lin Han was the Creator.

He had no intention of maintaining ecological balance.

If dinosaurs went extinct, then so be it—was that really important?

To him, it wasn't important at all!

Only monsters mattered!

The Tyrant King's lineage were all omnivores.

If they couldn't find vegetation to eat, they would eventually think of their own solutions when hunger became unbearable!

Moreover—

Before becoming a complete form, the Tyrant King had already followed Lin Han's will and mated with many kinds of dinosaurs.

Once those dinosaur eggs hatched, that would be when the real show began!

Ecological balance being "off"—that's only from the perspective of weaker species.

Survival of the fittest—adapt or go extinct!

The formation of a planet and its environmental changes spanned an immense timeline!

To develop to the current stage, it had already taken billions of years!

Billions of years of environmental shifts!

If the creatures before dinosaurs couldn't adapt, then that group went extinct!

If dinosaurs couldn't adapt, then dinosaurs went extinct!

If monsters couldn't adapt, then monsters would go extinct!

But clearly, that wasn't going to happen—because with the supreme authority of the Creator, monsters would only grow stronger and stronger!

The Thunderstorm Kings had now grown to twelve meters tall.

Their build resembled upright thunder dragons.

Quite stocky!

However, they were still vastly, vastly, vastly different from their father, the Tyrant King!

"Tch, you can't just peacefully develop like this. If you don't grow through conflict, how can you become a proper monster?"

Lin Han scanned the planetary map.

He saw Terror King's advancing path.

It just so happened to be not far from the Thunderstorm Kings.

Thunderstorm Kings were intelligent monsters.

And Terror King was also a monster with awakened intelligence!

What would happen if these two monster bloodlines crossed paths and clashed?

The world was a chessboard, and the Creator was the player.

He made his move.

"Thunderstorm Kings, you should move in this direction!"

He guided the Thunderstorm Kings.

"Terror King, follow the river and advance quickly—there's a worthy enemy ahead!"

He guided Terror King.

And just like that—

A great battle was about to begin.

Two hours later—

The seven Thunderstorm Kings charged ahead, followed by their thunder dragon mother, and they encountered Terror King!

The Thunderstorm Kings watched the massive monster warily.

Terror King stared back at the seven Thunderstorm Kings. It could sense that these seven creatures were different from the rest!

However…

That big mother dragon behind them was something else entirely.

That giant looked ordinary—just a walking hunk of meat!

Immediately—

Sensing Terror King's killing intent toward their thunder dragon mother, the seven Thunderstorm Kings went berserk in rage!

"Rooaaar!~~~"

"Rooaaar!~~"

"Rooaar!~"

With a furious roar, they launched an all-out attack on Terror King!

In perfect coordination, they lined up and charged using the hard, triangular bone helmets on their heads to ram into Terror King.

Terror King, of course, wouldn't just sit and take it.

It hid the tentacle that carried its blue-ringed little wife.

Anchoring its main body to the ground, the remaining seven tentacles struck out all at once!

One tentacle for each Thunderstorm King!

Terror King's strength lay in its immense power and the hooked fangs inside its suction cups, which could grind prey like a rotary tiller!

The Thunderstorm Kings' advantage was in their high durability and stamina!

And there were seven of them!

In the instant Terror King attacked, it had already wrapped all seven Thunderstorm Kings in its tentacles!

The teeth within the suction cups immediately began to gnaw viciously!

In a split second—

Each of the seven Thunderstorm Kings felt excruciating pain shoot through their bodies.

They howled in agony.

"Raaagh raaagh raaagh raaagh raaagh raaagh raaagh!!"

"Raaagh raaagh raaagh!!"

"Raaagh raaagh!!"

"Raaagh——!"

Terror King's method of attack wasted not a single drop of blood.

It kept the wounds hidden beneath its suction cups, and all the blood that flowed out was absorbed by them!

The meat torn by its hooked teeth was also swallowed and digested through the suction cups!

So—

Although the seven Thunderstorm Kings were howling, there was no blood spraying out.

It might've even seemed like they were just being squeezed painfully.

Suddenly—

Thunderstorm King No. 1, the eldest, set an example—he opened his mouth and bit down on a tentacle!

Even a rabbit bites when pushed—

Let alone a monster!

They had been eating plants only because they wanted to stay with their Thunder Dragon mother!

Not because they couldn't bite!

Their heads were wrapped in bony triangle helmets, and the bite force was astonishing.

With just the first bite, it tore a massive chunk from the octopus tentacle!

Terror King's fluids gushed wildly!

But Terror King didn't scream in pain.

He was a gentlemanly octopus.

In front of his wife, he had to maintain his composure!

So—

Even as he endured being bitten by seven big brutes, Terror King summoned strength from within and unleashed his electric discharge ability!

Electric currents surged through all seven tentacles instantly!

Powerful electricity coursed down the limbs and struck the bodies of the seven Thunderstorm Kings!

"Raaagh raaagh raaagh ohhh!!"

"Raaagh raaagh oh oh oh!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh raaagh!!"

Thunderstorm King No. 1: Damn it, this tentacle's making my mouth go numb!

Thunderstorm King No. 2: Big bro, I think I'm floating?!

Thunderstorm King No. 3: Big bro, I can't—can't breathe!

Thunderstorm King No. 4: Hehahahahaha…

Thunderstorm King No. 5: Big bro, save me!

Thunderstorm King No. 6: It hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts…

Thunderstorm King No. 7: Brother! Brothers!

(The above are translated interpretations.)

The seven Thunderstorm Kings were in utter misery.

But Terror King had grossly underestimated their endurance!

The toughness of the seven was beyond imagination!

As Terror King's electricity nearly burned his own tentacles to a crisp, he finally had to stop discharging!

When the high voltage ceased—

The seven Thunderstorm Kings, now trailing black smoke, shook their heads in a daze.

Then they sniffed… and smelled the aroma of roasted octopus…

They'd been eating plants alongside their Thunder Dragon mother, but in truth, they were Tyrant King's offspring—

They could eat anything alive!

Now that they smelled something so delicious—

To say they didn't want to eat would be a lie!

However—

Before giving in to their hunger, the six Thunderstorm Kings all turned to look at their big brother.

In this group, the eldest always had the final say.

Yet—

When they looked toward their big brother…

They saw he was already devouring like crazy, drool covering his entire body!

Seeing this—

The other six could hold back no longer.

They opened their jaws and began devouring!

"Raaagh raagh ah! Raaagh raaagh oh! (Dry rice time! Dry rice time!)"

They had never tasted anything so delicious before.

Compared to leaves, bark, and ferns, this was top-tier in texture, flavor, and aroma!
