I awakened to be a menace at the start of the game, and my parents sent me to the cherry blossom vie

Chapter 344 The Tragedy of Shoggoth

Suddenly, without warning, the monster's tentacles shot towards Lin Fan.

"I knew it, there's no way to talk to someone like you properly."

Faced with the sudden attack, Lin Fan showed no sign of panic.

He sidestepped the first tentacle, then punched the second one.

With the help of the black scales and their power, the sticky, soft tentacle was instantly severed, and a large amount of black mucus gushed out from the broken end.

But the next moment, an astonishing scene unfolded: the severed part of the tentacle healed almost instantly.

It's not the kind of healing that grows back.

Instead, the broken part split directly into two new tentacles.

"Holy crap! What is this thing? It's disgusting!"

The scene before him made Lin Fan feel nauseous.

At the same time, his brows furrowed.

If this monster has these characteristics... then it's really a troublesome thing.

But at this moment, he couldn't care less about anything else. He raised his hand and punched again, smashing one of the tentacles that was attacking him. As a result, that tentacle split into three.

Three twisted tentacles wrapped around him again.

He broke two of them, and the third wrapped around his waist.

The moment he made contact, he felt a corrosive force emanating from the mucous membrane.

Although he couldn't damage his black scales, the slippery feel made him uncomfortable.

"Your mother...you really are disgusting. Let go—"

He roared, ripped off the tentacle, and then jumped back more than ten meters.

At the same time, the indescribable thing had completely emerged from the pit.

It was larger than he had imagined.

It is over twenty meters tall.

Its entire body spread out, covering most of the valley floor.

Countless tentacles waved in the air. All the eyeballs on the surface were fixed on him.

You can't kill me... I'll regenerate... I'll keep regenerating...

"Can't be beaten to death?"

Lin Fan retreated to a high ground and looked at the enormous creature.

Indeed, conventional physical attacks are not very effective against this kind of thing.

If interrupted, it will regenerate, and the more it is interrupted, the more numerous it becomes.

But so what?

Lin Fan thought for a moment.

Then he laughed.

"You really think I can't do anything to you? You're bad at physics, huh?"

As he spoke, his body began to change.

It's not covered in black scales like before.

It's a deeper level of change.

The skeleton is remodeling. The muscles are expanding.

His height started at 1.8 meters and increased at an absurd rate.

Two meters. Three meters. Five meters. Ten meters...

As his body continued to change and grow taller, the black scales on his body became thicker, and a row of serrated bone spurs began to rise on his back.

Its tail extends from behind, sweeping across the ground and leaving deep furrows.

Twenty meters.

Thirty meters.

Fifty meters.

The ground beneath his feet cracked from his weight.

And the monster that emerged from the ground, countless eyes witnessed this change in him…

【What...who are you...!】

The person standing at the bottom of the valley now is no longer that 1.8-meter-tall human.

Instead, it was a colossal beast, entirely black, with blue light shimmering on its back.

If anyone were present, they would definitely recognize this shape.

Godzilla.

Lin Fan looked down at his body and nodded in satisfaction.

Although he didn't speak, because in this form he could only utter a low, beastly roar, what he was thinking was:

Damn, every time I look like this, I feel incredibly handsome.

Seeing the terrifying behemoth before him, the monster that emerged from the ground no longer hesitated, its tentacles surging wildly towards him.

Dozens or even hundreds of tentacles surged like a tidal wave of snakes.

In an instant, it wrapped itself around his legs. It climbed up his waist. It wrapped itself around his arms.

However, Lin Fan remained motionless.

He let those tentacles cover his entire body.

Then--

The row of bony spikes on his back began to glow.

Starting from the tip of the tail, blue light illuminated segment by segment upwards. Tail. Back. Spine. Neck.

Extremely fast.

Upon seeing this, the monster seemed to realize something was wrong and frantically tried to retract its tentacles.

But it was too late.

Just as it was about to retract its tentacles, Lin Fan opened his mouth.

In an instant, light flashed and surged, and a world-destroying energy surged up from deep within his throat.

Gradually, the blue light gathered, compressed, and compressed again in his mouth—

"Physical attacks are useless against you, so what about magic?"

As this thought settled in Lin Fan's mind.

In an instant, beams of blue and white light shot out from his mouth.

It was Brother's signature move, Atomic Breath.

The rough, dazzling beam of light instantly struck the monster's body, which was still inside the pit.

buzzing-

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only the terrifyingly high temperature in the air and the ear-piercing sound of ionization.

A terrifying blue light from the breath instantly enveloped the entire pit.

The surrounding soil and rocks were quickly disintegrated.

The monster's body began to evaporate the moment it came into contact with Lin Fan's attack.

Yes, it's evaporation, not combustion, but a direct change from a solid to a gaseous state.

Those tentacles, those eyeballs, that mucous membrane...

Everything vanished instantly in the blue and white light.

Lin Fan did not stop.

The exhalation lasted for about ten seconds.

He then adjusted his angle and swept directly from the surface of the pit all the way into the deep pit.

The pit was burned into a smooth, glassy surface under the illumination of the blue-white beam of light.

The remaining roots, tentacle fragments, and mucus inside all evaporated.

Fifteen seconds later.

The beam of light disappeared.

Lin Fan closed his mouth and exhaled two streams of white steam from his nostrils.

At the center of the valley floor, only a huge, glassy circular depression remains.

The surrounding mountain walls were charred black by the intense heat. The air was thick with the smell of ozone.

But the monster... was completely reduced to ashes.

"call."

Lin Fan's body began to shrink, gradually returning to human form.

Fifty meters. Thirty meters. Ten meters. Five meters. One and a half meters.

He stood on the scorched ground and looked around.

The entire valley can no longer be described as "dilapidated".

Using "ruins" is an overstatement.

This place is now a bomb crater that was pacified by nuclear weapons.

"As expected, to defeat magic, we still need magic."

"Shouldn't this finally calm things down?"

He stretched his neck, preparing to find a way out of this awful place.

Then--

You think... this will kill me?

Suddenly, a voice rang in his mind.

Lin Fan's face instantly darkened.

"...What are you talking about?"

I said...you can't kill me.

Shoggoth's voice became clearer.

It was much clearer than the intermittent fluctuations of consciousness I had experienced before.

It was as if he had suddenly come to a realization before he died.

As long as that space exists... as long as the cemetery exists... I will not truly die...

"A cemetery?"

You only destroyed my physical body... my consciousness has already returned to that space...

Lin Fan remained silent.

Next time... I will be stronger... I will absorb more nutrients... and then... I will come back...

"Come back again?" Lin Fan's expression was grim.

That's right... I will be back... Just you wait... human...

The sound grew fainter and fainter.

It's getting increasingly blurry.

It eventually disappeared completely.

Lin Fan stood there, silent for a long time.

"The cemetery..."

He muttered those two words and looked up at the sky.

Blue sky and white clouds.

I can't see anything.

"So as long as that space exists, this thing can never be killed?"

He frowned and thought for a moment.

Then he cursed.

"This is fucking a pain."
