It’s over.
Leon, who didn’t take the chance to speed away when the giant weird fish was briefly blocked but instead turned back, was watched by the tall, thin man at the bottom of the lake holding a large suitcase. He couldn’t help but slightly curl his lips.
This “Whale Shark Puppet” of mine, although it only knows the simplest tail fin strikes and full-speed collisions with no special abilities worth mentioning, sometimes sheer physical destructive power itself is the most unsolvable attack.
When a massive creature weighing over a hundred tons collides at a speed exceeding 40 knots per hour, the impact force generated is something ordinary people can hardly imagine.
Even the largest unanchored ship of the Thousand Sails Sea Country can’t withstand the full-force collision of the “Whale Shark Puppet”. With Leon’s physical strength barely better than that of an ordinary human, he probably won’t even get a chance to shatter into pieces.
According to my judgment, most likely at the moment of initial contact, he will be completely “mashed” together with his sword, becoming a stain of grime on the whale’s head that can’t be washed off.
Although Leon, with his indestructible body, wouldn’t be so easily eliminated, as long as I divide up that “stain” before his body recovers, he’ll be left in a state of half-life… Hmm?
Looking up at the “Whale Shark Puppet” which seemed like tofu and had been split open along the spine, the Scorpion Bureau Director couldn’t help but widen his eyes, staring in astonishment at the vague figure between the two halves of the whale shark.
What’s going on? Why didn’t the “Puppet Dimension” trigger?
…
I bet right…
By relying on the effect of the “Silver Knife”, splitting the rushing fish into two, Leon couldn’t help but exhale deeply after being tense all this time.
According to what Senior Ruben and the others said, the Scorpion Bureau Director’s “Puppet Dimension” could enhance puppets, ensuring they aren’t “damaged” by any external force, but the “Silver Knife”‘s effect isn’t destruction—it slices things alive that come into contact with its blade.
Back and forth, it seems we successfully found a loophole.
The Scorpion Bureau Director’s “Puppet Dimension” might prevent puppets from being damaged, but it can’t stop the “Silver Knife”‘s slicing. This knife given by the Aquarius Director is exactly the Scorpion Bureau Director’s nemesis.
After catching his breath a little, Leon once again relied on the “Clear Path Ahead” to push away the lake water seeping around him and then threw out another large bunch of tree seeds.
“Senior Ruben!”
“Right away!”
With Ruben’s response, the tree seeds Leon scattered instantly grew larger, quickly bursting into hundreds of thick root systems the size of thighs.
These root systems similar to banyan air roots rapidly expanded in the cooling lake. In just a few breaths, they had grown into a vast network of branches and vines, tightly binding the still wriggling strange fish.
The fins used for propulsion at the chest and tail of the strange fish received extra attention, locked down tightly by countless air roots, making even the slightest movement impossible.
It’s done! As the fish cut in half was thoroughly restrained, the three souls and one person couldn’t help but relax simultaneously.
No matter how much destructive power this strange fish could unleash during its full-speed dash, now bound like this by Ruben, it’s unlikely to be able to charge anymore. Next, all we have to do is…
“Good job.”
A voice familiar to all four suddenly sounded nearby, causing the three souls and one person to immediately tighten their expressions.
When Leon looked in the direction of the sound, he saw the Scorpion Bureau Director who had been “missing” for many days. Carrying his somewhat old large suitcase, he stepped into the water-free zone separated by the “Clear Path Ahead,” blocking the path ahead with a playful look on his face.
“Ruben, Mona, Franky.”
After calling out the names of the three Scorpio Division cleaners, the Scorpion Bureau Director said joyfully: “I thought you guys were blown up, but I’m glad to see you again. This is really wonderful.”
“Director Edward…”
Upon hearing the words of the Scorpion Bureau Director, the faces of the three Scorpio Division cleaners revealed extremely complicated expressions.
Bad news, he’s betrayed us.
Worse news, if we can’t beat him, we’re dead.
“Director, the three of us are actually already dead.”
After receiving Leon’s hint to “buy some time,” female cleaner Mona steadied herself, her face complex as she spoke:
“Leon went to the Deathscape in time. When the Death Ambassador wanted to eat us, he drove them away and brought us three back.”
“I see.”
At this point, the Scorpion Bureau Director turned his gaze to Leon, his expression slightly grateful as he said:
“Thank you for saving Mona and the others. To be honest, I am really glad now that I didn’t refuse to let you participate in this mission back then.”
“You’re welcome.”

After nodding toward the Scorpion Bureau Director, Leon stealthily touched the “Whale Shark Puppet” sliced in half beside him while hopefully asking:
“So, considering I saved your subordinates’ lives, could you go easier on me when we start fighting later?”
“Holding back is not possible, but I can try to leave you a complete corpse.”
“…”
Gratefully smiling at Leon with a speechless expression, the Scorpion Bureau Director pulled out a thrusting sword, somewhat embarrassedly saying: “Actually, I am fully aware right now. I know you guys are the good side, and you might even be here to save me.
But there’s nothing I can do. My soul has been tampered with, my ‘cognition’ suppressed. My whole mind and body are prepared to kill you, and I cannot resist this notion… Can you understand?”
Understand my ass! After hearing the Scorpion Bureau Director’s words, Leon, slowly getting drunk, couldn’t help but snickered, unusually taunting: “Then try it if you dare.”
Glancing at the Scorpion Bureau Director’s chaotic soul, then looking at his palms, one yellow and one white with clearly different skin tones, Leon suddenly crouched low, charging forward directly with his blade under the influence of alcohol.
“Who knows who kills whom in your current condition!”
…
Thirty seconds later.
“You’re so hard to kill!”
Seizing the “Silver Knife” from Leon’s hand, the Scorpion Bureau Director stabbed repeatedly at his eyelids but couldn’t chop off even a single eyelash. He couldn’t help but exclaim: “What kind of Anomalous Item is this? It directly immunizes all damage; even the [Soul Gnawing Doll] has no effect? Did you use it to hold off the Nightmare King back then?”
“…”
“What’s wrong? Why aren’t you talking?”
After hearing the Scorpion Bureau Director’s curious inquiry, Leon, caught by a bizarre doll with twenty arms, couldn’t help but roll his eyes fiercely at him.
Having just bluffed under the influence of alcohol, but failing within a minute, how could I have the face to say anything?
