"This world is truly terrifying..." murmured Zhang Taibai as he gazed at the scene unfolding on the surface of the South Pacific Ocean. In front of the cruise ship he was on, a muscular man wearing emerald green shorts was wielding a trident, engaging in a fierce battle with a gigantic king squid, whose body stretched over a hundred meters, resembling a sea monster.
