Monster Genesis

Terror Lord was completely stunned.

It thought that after the electric shock, these seven creatures would quiet down for a while.

But to its shock, the electric shock made them act like starving dogs who hadn't eaten in ten days—madly devouring it!

Though the octopus limbs could regenerate…

This humiliation of being eaten was forever engraved in Terror Lord's heart.

It was the one that bound them!

So why did it look like they had skewered it with forks?

Was there no justice left?!

Terror Lord was furious.

It immediately unleashed its great strength, grabbing the seven gluttons with its tentacles and violently smashing them into the distance!

"Rumble rumble!~~"

"Rumble rumble!~~"

"Rumble rumble!~~~"

Seven Thunderstorm Kings smashed through swathes of trees.

Only now could the bite marks from Terror Lord be seen clearly on their bodies!

Those bloody rings wrapped around their bodies.

The flesh inside was mangled and torn!

Unlike wounds from blades, claws, or slashing—

The bite marks from Terror Lord looked like chunks of flesh had been pounded by rocks until shredded!

One could imagine just how agonizing the chewing process was!

However!!

Despite being treated so violently, the Thunderstorm Kings quickly stood back up!

Their durability was simply overwhelming!

"Roar roar roar ah! (Big bro, look—I even yanked off a piece of fried octopus!)"

Thunderstorm King No. 3 swung a piece of octopus meat from its mouth, clearly showing off.

The other Thunderstorm Kings turned red with envy.

Such delicious food—and it dared to fight back?

The Thunderstorm Kings instantly glared at Terror Lord, eyes full of hunger.

Earlier, they were reacting out of anger, defensively.

Now, they just wanted to eat Terror Lord. Actively.

Thunderstorm King No. 1 began organizing the group, discussing a plan.

Terror Lord stood in the distance, honestly, burning with fury.

These creatures, with their dense flesh—even without tastebuds, it could tell they weren't even tasty.

Moreover—

It had used so many tactics, yet still failed to kill them.

Not only did it fail—they were still jumping around full of energy!

"Woooooom..."

Terror Lord let out a sound.

Its furious voice echoed like wind from a deep cavern.

Seven tentacles weren't enough to deal with seven Thunderstorm Kings.

Then, it would use its full strength!

But its eighth tentacle… carried its beloved blue-ringed octopus wife!

If she got even a scratch, it would break its heart!

So it gently laid down the eighth tentacle and tapped twice, signaling his wife to disembark.

The blue-ringed octopus trembled a bit.

Eventually, she slid down off Terror Lord's body.

Now, all eight tentacles writhed wildly—beneath the night sky, like demons dancing!

Terror Lord was getting serious!

It stared at the seven Thunderstorm Kings, slowly bringing its eight tentacles together in front.

The eight tentacles formed a net.

At the center of the net, light appeared.

Electric current gathered at the center, forming a sphere of lightning.

The energy in the sphere grew denser and brighter, turning from blue to gold.

The golden lightning orb glowed like a miniature sun, illuminating several hundred meters around.

At last—

Terror Lord's charge-up was complete.

Staring at the now fully illuminated Thunderstorm Kings, it could no longer hold back its fury—

It launched the lightning orb directly at them!

The lightning orb turned into a golden beam, coiled with electric serpents.

It swept across the land!

At this point, the true lethality of the current came from its extreme temperature.

With one sweep, it sliced through trees within a kilometer, cleaved giant boulders, and obliterated creatures hidden in the jungle...

Including the female Thunder Dragon behind them…

The severed trees caught fire.

But when the lightning struck the Thunderstorm Kings, it didn't cut through them—instead, a high-intensity clash caused an explosive reaction.

The seven Thunderstorm Kings were blasted dozens of meters away in a blinding white flash.

"Boom boom boom—!!"

When they came to their senses…

The forest had erupted into flames.

And their beloved Thunder Dragon mother… had perished here!

The Thunderstorm Kings, who had always cherished their Thunder Dragon mother, could hardly bear to look at the tragic state of her remains—killed by Terror Lord's hand!

They stared at her bones.

Something wild and unhinged inside them was awakening!

They were all children of the Tyrant King.

That Tyrant King—was a being of pure evil.

A god of destruction that spared no means!

As the offspring of that monster, the Thunderstorm Kings were usually honest and gentle, fond of their companions.

But…

Back then, Lin Han had spent authority points to activate their paternal genes once!

A creature's emotions and states are often affected by trace chemicals in their body.

Like how encountering someone you love causes nervousness, a racing heart, and blushing—just because of adrenaline.

These are factors biological beings can barely control.

And now—

Having witnessed the tragic death of their Thunder Dragon mother…

The eyes of the seven Thunderstorm Kings slowly turned blood-red.

Their wounds healed at a visible speed.

Claws emerged from the digits that evolved from their forelimbs!

They bared their teeth in pure fury and lunged toward Terror Lord!

Terror Lord stood firmly in place.

Silently watching them charge forward.

Then, with its immense strength, it swung a tentacle and slapped one of them flying.

Then another slap sent the next one flying!

But just as it was about to strike the third Thunderstorm King—

Suddenly, a cold flash swept through.

"Shing—!!"

A sharp claw tore through one of Terror Lord's tentacles!

It was Thunderstorm King No. 1 with bloodshot eyes!

Not only had it shredded a tentacle with a single slash, but it also charged straight at Terror Lord's body!

Terror Lord's body was massive.

Larger than any of the Thunderstorm Kings!

Even without counting its vital tentacles, its main body alone dwarfed them!

But even when faced with such a terrifying creature, the Thunderstorm King advanced!

To kill—

And devour it!

Seven against one, Terror Lord began to fall into disadvantage.

But just then—

A jet of dark blue venom shot forth!!

It sprayed directly onto the right side of Thunderstorm King No. 1's face!

The venom, enhanced by monster secretions, corroded part of its triceratops-like bone helm and flowed into its right eye!!

Immediately—

The searing, brain-piercing pain made Thunderstorm King No. 1 stumble and curl up from the agony!

Then—

Terror Lord, seizing a gap while fending off the other six brothers, lashed out and flung Thunderstorm King No. 1 away!

This time, Thunderstorm King No. 1 was gravely wounded!

Because all its focus had been on the pain in its right eye—

That skull-boring agony left it no room to defend!

Flung through the air and rolling across the ground, one of its arms twisted from the impact…
