But just before the early forces of mine would arrive, I heard such a scary roar coming from one direction before more started to come.

“Damn! They brought such heavyweight monsters here?!! I want them! I want them!”

The roars came from colossal monsters that looked like aquatic dinosaurs to me. They got broadheads with a horn in the middle of their heads.

That was the sign of them being hybrid beasts. Hybrid monsters in such size? That meant they weren’t normal at all!

“My threads aren’t working… Then it’s time for my merged technique,” I tried to shift all my threads here over them, ending up getting anything touching these colossal monsters torn into shreds.

So instead of wasting more threads and time, I started forming the second technique before merging the two together.

Thick arms came out, ones that I could freely control. Unlike the threads, these arms got much strength and could deal better with this new breed of monsters.

*Rumble!*.

However during my preparation for counterattack, these monsters started theirs.

Their attack was mostly done by releasing massive and violent waves across the ocean waters. These waves kept assaulting and hammering my shield, making me feel worried for a few moments.

Yet when my shield got itself repaired, I heaved a sigh of relief. I stored up lots of energy before at my shield. And it seemed such a vast amount of energy came into use right now.

I didn’t need to worry then. Instead of diverging my attention over the shield, I kept focusing over the thick arms and tried to control my first hybrid beast.

And in such time, my forces arrived from the surface, coming to my rescue and aid.

The fight turned instantly bloodier with such addition of fresh forces. The water all around kept rolling up and down, forming bloody whirlpools that engulfed lots of the enemy forces.

However even with such addition and help, they only affected the forces around. These colossal monsters kept resisting even my thick arms, not giving me any chance of controlling them.

It was such a loss! But that didn’t mean I was out of options.

Gradually I started moving my chariot away from the big black sphere. As I did, I started the next step of the merge; merging the two techniques truly together.

I prepared lots of green bones for such a step. That merge was a true beast, consuming tons of energy in the process.

But once it was done, I ended up with a much bigger and fiercer technique that was able to hold five colossal monsters using my thick arms.

If I failed to control them, I’d just use my arms to drag them into the big sphere.

My energy was limited, I got that. But compared to the fierce black energy in my shadow world, these beasts held zero chance of surviving this.

The only regret I had would be in losing the chance of turning such violent hybrid monsters into my own.

But winning this battle was all I had to focus on right now. I’d leave such regret for later time.

Taking down such behemoths took me almost one hour. They kept struggling, and even asked for help from their friends.

But any monster that dared to come closer to them was trapped as well with my thick arms. The situation kept getting better when I dragged almost twenty monsters into that sphere for the first time.

The remaining monsters were slightly over a hundred, meaning I’d need to repeat this for five or six more times at least.

As I kept doing this, my shield kept protecting me from any kind of attack.

The enemy depended on numbers to drain my shield, then using the brutal force of these behemoths to attack and crash it down.

However they greatly underestimated my shield! Also they missed my aquatic races!

The incoming forces from the surface kept the swarms of aquatic monsters here under check. As for my fallen gods, they kept attacking the behemoths at first with no result.

So I had to shift their target towards the rest of the enemy forces. These hybrid monsters were really something else! I didn’t know how that clone bastard managed to get them, but I now envied him a lot for that.

Thinking about this issue from another perspective, if this clone specialised in aquatic battles then he would turn into a troublesome enemy.

I had to admit, getting the two together, that clone and the Hectors, would form a terrifying aquatic force.

Earth was initially a water planet. It was filled mostly with big oceans and seas.

Even with the addition of new continents, they would bring their oceans and seas with them. The size of the planet would grow bigger, and with it the size of the water surface here would be much wider than ever.

Letting such a terrifying alliance continue would be a mistake. I had to crush the enemy here and let this clone lose his first battle, with the hope of him getting killed by another clone.

But something told me this clone wouldn’t get killed this easily.

I got the feeling that this fight was just the test this clone had to do to see how his abilities would fare against me.

And frankly speaking… He was going to cause lots of trouble for me.

Sigh! I just hated the fact that this dude was unkillable! Facing such an enemy who wouldn’t die no matter what was annoying.

I had to win this fight first before worrying about the upcoming ones.

As I dragged the first batch of monsters, I started to attack others. This time, the behemoths learnt their lesson, and didn’t come to help their friends.

I had to spend more time fighting here while dragging monsters in batches of fives and tens. After almost ten hours, I finally dragged all of them, and only the aquatic army and portals remained.

“Aim at these portals, crush them down!” I didn’t even take a moment of rest, pointed at the direction of the portals and let my fierce fallen gods attack them.
