"Right now, the Omnitrix is still recharging, so I can only wait here for a while," Asher clenched his palm tightly, feeling deeply uneasy, though he managed to control his emotions with visible effort.
Max looked at the distant scene, his weathered face filled with anger at Jonah Melville's unrepentant behavior. The poacher and his crew showed no signs of stopping their destructive rampage.
And after that initial rocket attack, Melville's group hadn't ceased their assault.
The other subordinates raised the rocket launchers in their hands, aimed at the lake's surface, and fired their missiles with thunderous "BANG! BANG! BANG!" explosions. Several crew members stood behind them, helping to reload and pass additional rockets to the gunners.
BOOM!
BOOM!!
The massive lake was bombed repeatedly, enormous waves erupting with each detonation. Layers of thick smoke covered the water's surface, and even the lake bottom wasn't calm anymore, violent whirlpools churned from the explosive impacts above!
The Krakken that had just returned to the lake's depths felt the tremendous disturbances overhead. Countless rockets detonated directly above her position, and the violent shockwaves rippled past her massive body!
The ancient creature's eyes blazed with fury, and she couldn't help but want to rush from the lake bottom and fight these damned humans to the death.
However, as soon as she thought of the precious Krakken eggs under her protection, her anger subsided somewhat.
I must protect my children first.
"Stop! Don't bomb anymore!" At the end of the first barrage, Melville raised his hand angrily and stopped his subordinates with cold authority!
"Boss, is it over?" one asked.
"But that creature hasn't come out yet. What should we do..."
"Yeah, she was very aggressive before, came out as soon as we made any noise."
The subordinates lowered the rocket launchers from their shoulders one after another, looking at Melville curiously. They had been carrying the heavy weapons for so long that their shoulders were sore and numb.
"I think no matter how much we bomb, this monster won't come out, she's been scared off by our rockets!" Melville's expression was grim and calculating. "Ten of you, grab submachine guns and dive down to drive that monster out! When necessary, threaten the Krakken eggs to provoke her!"
His voice carried a note of madness, his expression twisted with pure hatred.
Obviously, Melville was no longer motivated by profit, he was consumed entirely by revenge!
If he didn't exact his vengeance, he would never be able to maintain authority over his subordinates!
"Yes, Boss Melville!" the ten subordinates responded in unison, their voices filled with renewed determination as they quickly changed into diving suits. They gripped the finest submachine guns available, grenades tied to their waists, with safety chains attached to their backs.
As long as they pulled the chains behind them, the crew could feel the tension and haul them back to the boat.
They would be pulled to safety.
Splash!
Ten divers plunged into the lake one by one, activating powerful headlights mounted on their diving suits. The beams penetrated dozens of meters through the dark water, illuminating the lake bottom in brilliant white light!
Ten headlights converged together, and within seconds they had located the Krakken resting in the depths!
"..."
The Krakken raised her massive head, the harsh artificial light making her ancient eyes uncomfortable. She sensed the hostile intent radiating from these intruders, which filled her with instinctive unease!
"Found her, right here," one diver gestured and spoke to the rest of his team through the walkie-talkie in his wetsuit.
"Open fire!"
They raised their submachine guns simultaneously, aimed at the Krakken beneath the lake, and unleashed a storm of bullets. The projectiles cut through the water and struck the creature's armored back!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Although the bullets bounced harmlessly off her hardened skin, red welts appeared across the Krakken's back from the repeated impacts.
"I'm going to... kill... all of you!" the Krakken's heart filled with blazing fury, her eyes wide and burning as she stared directly at the harsh lights. Her entire body tensed like a coiled spring, ready to explode with righteous anger as she prepared to rush toward the group of divers!
Her body straightened, and she swung her massive form with violent intent, her eyes filled with fire as she charged toward her tormentors!
"Prepare for combat!"
"She's coming!!"
The dive team shouted frantically and quickly swam toward the lake's surface with desperate speed.
The Krakken's protective coils slowly spread out, and the precious eggs she had been carefully shielding settled gently into the lake bottom's safety, she wouldn't bring them into battle!
On the lake's surface...
BOOM!!
The ten divers burst from the water and violently pulled the chains behind them. The crew immediately noticed the movement of the safety lines on deck and hauled the ten men toward the yacht, their bodies quickly rising through the air as they were winched to safety.
BOOM!!
The next second!
Violent turbulence erupted from the lake as a clearly visible dark shadow rapidly approached from below, growing larger and larger...
Until the prehistoric beast-like body of the Krakken broke through the lake's surface again, accompanied by countless cascading waves that slammed against everything around her!
Her massive head drew closer and closer to the ten suspended divers, her jaws opening wide. Just as the ten men were about to be caught by the Krakken's devastating bite!
"AHHHHH!!"
"Don't eat me!"
"I'm sorry!"
The ten divers were naturally terrified, their heartbeats racing as they trembled while staring at the enormous head and razor-sharp teeth that were mere inches away!
"Come out at last, have you?" Melville showed a sinister smile, his expression radiating dangerous satisfaction!
BOOM!!
The rocket launcher in his hands fired a specialized missile, a powerful warhead designed specifically for large aquatic targets!
