The high-temperature laser cutting instantly pierced through the flesh of the octopus's tentacles, slicing into them.
The octopus's energy shield only covered its head, offering no protection for its tentacles.
However, the base of its tentacles, each several meters thick, could only be cut to a little over a meter by the laser before being blocked by something, preventing further cutting.
Iron Man circled around a thick tentacle, using the laser to cut around it. Though it made the tentacle sluggish, it didn't sever it completely.
"Sir, a high-energy reaction has been detected within the tentacles. It's speculated that the giant octopus's tentacles can conduct energy defense."
The laser cutting is impressive, but the octopus's tentacles aren't easy to sever.
Beneath the flesh and skin, energy pulses within the tentacles, resisting the laser energy's cuts.
Thus, the laser only manages to slice the surface and some flesh of the octopus; the inner parts remain uncut.
