Vic took a deep breath, his chest—now covered in blue scales and writhing tentacles—heaving violently.
An unspeakable will, resonating with the very soul of the ocean, expanded outward with him at the center!
"Water... come to me... Water... obey..."
The low, ancient syllables spilled from Vic's mouth, carrying the weight of absolute law.
At first, it was just a subtle ripple. But a second later—
RUMBLE—!!!
Around the ruins of Atlantis, the endless ocean seemed to hear the command of its King. It began to boil and surge in a frenzy!
Visible, massive currents of azure water rushed in from every direction like roaring hydras, pouring madly into Vic's body!
Under this infinite infusion of seawater, his body began to expand at a terrifying rate!
Muscles bulged and tore, scales shimmered with a dark, abyssal light, and the tentacles on his head danced like giant pythons. Every swing of his massive tail kicked up tsunamis!
One hundred meters... two hundred meters... three hundred meters...
In the span of a few breaths, Vic's demonic form had ballooned to a size that dwarfed the battlefield!
When he finally stopped growing, he was a full head taller than the mountain-sized Kraken! The shadow he cast swallowed nearly half the ruins.
He lowered his head slightly. His giant eyes, like lakes of blood, looked down indifferently at the Kraken, which suddenly looked... petite in comparison.
The pressure radiating from his colossal demon body seemed to solidify the air itself.
Even the stone beasts animated by the Rat Talisman, which had been attacking wildly, instinctively slowed down. They looked up at this newborn giant of the deep with primal fear.
"Not enough..."
His low voice vibrated through the water like a deep-sea current.
He seemed to be talking to himself, or perhaps to something living inside him.
"Venom," Vic's voice carried a hint of provocation and anticipation. "Can you stomach this much power?"
Almost the instant his words fell, a raspy voice—more excited, more hungry, sounding like it had been repressed for eons—exploded from within Vic's massive body. It screamed with the ecstasy of a beast breaking its cage:
"Hell yeah! I've been waiting for this moment, brother!"
VMMM—!
A viscous, obsidian substance—looking like the condensed essence of the universe's darkest corners—erupted like a broken dam from every pore and every gap in Vic's scales!
It was Venom!
But this time, Venom was different.
There was... too much of him! An impossible amount!
It was as if Vic's body was a portal to a dimension of endless darkness.
These black, living symbiote fluids moved like a sentient oil spill—climbing, covering, and fusing!
They wrapped around Vic's colossal blue demon form. This wasn't a simple suit; it was a deep-level biological synthesis!
CRACK! SNAP! CRUNCH!
The tooth-aching sound of bones shifting rang out again, denser and more terrifying than before!
Under the fusion with Venom, Vic's body began a secondary evolution!
Muscle fibers, bound by the black substance, proliferated and swelled wildly. His physique became more jagged, radiating absolute, brute force!
The spectral blue scales were plated with a flowing, black sheen, their edges sharpening until they could slice through the current itself!
The slippery tentacles on his head transformed into waking, dark dragons, covered in Venom's signature white web-veins, whipping up terrifying vortices as they moved!
That massive fish tail was completely reshaped by the Symbiote. It became thicker, deadlier, with razor-sharp bone blades extending from the fins like the scythe of the Grim Reaper!
The most heart-stopping change was his head.
The already terrifying demon skull was encased in Venom, forming a streamlined, aggressive silhouette.
The giant maw split open to reveal rows upon rows of abyss-like fangs. An exaggeratedly long, barbed black tongue lashed out like a python, tasting the seawater.
And the eyes...
The giant scarlet pupils vanished, replaced by Venom's signature jagged, pure white patches—filled with greed and violence. Burning white veins spread around the sockets, looking like a glare from the abyss itself!
Final Form: The Symbiote Demon.
A terrifying, unstable fusion of Bai Tza's elemental authority and the Symbiote's cosmic adaptation capabilities!
"ROAAAAAR—!!!"
The newborn Symbiote Demon threw his head back and screamed!
The roar instantly blasted the surrounding water into a vacuum zone. Walls of the ancient ruins crumbled from the sonic impact alone!
Even the invincible Kraken trembled instinctively. Its flailing tentacles froze for a moment.
Its simple mind couldn't comprehend how the prey in front of it had transformed from a hard-to-chew bone into something that triggered a deep, biological terror!
The Symbiote Demon slowly lowered his head. Those ghastly white eyes locked onto the Kraken.
He raised a claw—covered in black sludge and large enough to crush a mountain peak—and casually flexed his fingers. The resulting current pulverized several massive stone pillars nearby.
A voice, blending Vic's mania and Venom's cruelty, rang out like a funeral bell:
"Now... that feels about right."
"Let the real hunt... begin."
In the next second, the massive body of the Symbiote Demon vanished!
It wasn't teleportation. It was raw physical speed that exceeded the visual processing limit of any observer!
The deep sea seemed to be split open by an invisible axe!
A terrifying trail tore through the seabed, instantly extending right to the Kraken's face!
The Symbiote Demon solidified again. A giant claw had already clamped onto the base of one of the Kraken's main tentacles, gripping it like a toy!
RIIIIIP—!
The claws clamped down!
The terrifying combination of Demonic strength and Symbiote corrosion exploded!
The tentacle, thicker than a cruise ship, was torn off like a fragile twig!
Dark blue blood sprayed out like a waterfall, instantly dying a massive section of the ocean black!
The Kraken let out the most miserable, agonizing shriek since the battle began!
In Hell, there was dead silence.
The ecstasy on Bai Tza's face froze, replaced by absolute horror and disbelief.
Tso Lan floated there, his crimson eyes showing... genuine concern for the first time.
Di Kui's jaw hit the floor.
Hsi Wu, who had just started flying again, forgot to flap his wings and fell out of the air. Splat.
The Symbiote Demon casually tossed the twitching, giant tentacle aside like trash. His white, soulless eyes turned back to the writhing Kraken, and his massive tongue licked his serrated teeth.
"Warm up... complete."
