"It's a Kraken!"
The Kraken Diana spoke of is a giant sea monster from Norse mythology, also known by Norse people as the "North Sea Giant."
The earliest accounts of the "North Sea Giant" were from Norwegian fishermen, so the North Sea Giant "Kraken" is also known as the Norwegian Sea Monster.
Legend has it that the "Kraken" has an oval, cone-shaped body with strong, powerful tentacles at the end. It would attack ships at sea, biting through the bottom of the hull with its sharp, pointed beak, splitting the ship in half, and then grabbing and devouring the panicked sailors with its tentacles.
"Kraken" in Norwegian means "unhealthy animal," and this word means "octopus" in modern German.
Although in the human world, the "Kraken" has always been a mythical, fictional creature, Diana, who grew up on Themyscira and had many dealings with marine life, would not consider the "Kraken" to be a fictional creature.
Seeing this monster with powerful destructive capabilities appear in the human world, Diana's expression was filled with gravity.
"Protect Rachel!"
Seeing the "Kraken" moving towards them, Wonder Woman immediately shouted at Shazam.
As Eric's self-proclaimed lover, she felt it necessary to protect Eric's family.
Additionally, she had previously taught Rachel swordsmanship, so the moment she saw the monster attacking, she instinctively wanted to protect Rachel.
"Understood!"
Shazam immediately flew towards the somewhat bewildered Rachel.
Flying to Rachel's side, Shazam protected Rachel's safety.
Green Lantern Hal continued to use his Green Lantern ring to move the ship towards the shore.
The "Kraken" stirred up a giant wave, sweeping towards Hal's direction.
Hal dodged the wave, but he was affected by the suddenly extending giant tentacles of the sea monster.
The tentacles directly overturned the ship controlled by Hal, and stirred up towering waves, directly impacting Hal into the sky.
Watching Hal being attacked, Wonder Woman gritted her teeth and immediately rushed towards the "Kraken" at a fast pace.
Gripping the Vulcan Sword tightly in her hand, she shouted and used all her strength to slash at the opponent.
Pfft!
The sea monster's tentacles were severed by the enraged Wonder Woman, and blood spurted from where the tentacles broke, splattering onto Wonder Woman's body.
Ignoring the blood on her, Wonder Woman continued to fly forward, preparing to cut off the sea monster's tentacles that were swinging towards her.
But the tentacles flying towards her suddenly accelerated, attacking her body at a speed Wonder Woman could not have imagined.
With a bang, Diana felt a pain in her chest and was struck into the sea by the opponent.
Huge waves immediately rose on the sea surface!
As soon as Wonder Woman fell into the water and was about to act, she was attacked by the sea monster's tentacles.
The tentacles she had severed grew back, and viscous, terrifying tentacles directly wrapped around Wonder Woman's body, pulling her towards the seabed.
Green Lantern, who was fighting the "Kraken" sea monster, saw Wonder Woman being pulled to the seabed and immediately raised his right hand.
The ring on his right hand emitted a faint green light, and the ring, representing will, exuded powerful energy, instantly severing the sea monster's tentacles that were surrounding and attacking him.
After breaking free from the sea monster's entanglement, he immediately moved towards Wonder Woman's direction.
As he advanced, he strenuously used the Green Lantern ring in his hand to conjure an incomparably sharp giant sword, cutting off all the octopus monster's tentacles that blocked him.
But the "Kraken" possessed regenerative abilities; the regenerated tentacles moved faster and faster, and during the tentacles' swinging, countless green mists were produced.
This mist had a strong effect of making people mentally drowsy, making every step forward extremely difficult for Green Lantern, and his head felt increasingly heavy.
Shazam and Rachel were originally preparing to come and help, but they also fell into a bitter struggle.
Countless tentacles swung, forming an impenetrable barrier in the sky, and the regenerative tentacles possessed immense power. No matter how Shazam and Rachel eliminated these sea monster tentacles, they would still grow back, and soon both fell into a disadvantage.
Shazam, covered in blood, shouted "Shazam," summoning lightning to destroy all the tentacles surrounding him. Before he could even let out a sigh of relief, he saw that Rachel had already fallen into a bitter struggle.
Unable to apply her own magic well, she was already feeling mentally exhausted and could only use the Cosmic Scepter Eric had given her to defend against the sky-filling attacks of the sea monster's tentacles.
"You shouldn't have done that, Arthur!"
Mera stood beside Aquaman at some point, looking at the four-person team falling into a disadvantage, and said to Arthur.
"I didn't want to do that either!"
Aquaman frowned, "But if I don't put up any resistance, I'm afraid these people will defeat me, or imprison me, or take some measures against me. Whatever it is, that's not what I want to see."
"But releasing the 'Kraken' will only make things worse!"
Mera's burgundy hair was now wet, and she was clutching her chest, breathing rapidly.
She had sustained some injuries in the previous fight with Wonder Woman, which made it difficult for her to breathe smoothly now.
"No! It won't."
Looking at Wonder Woman and the others who were fighting, Aquaman said to Mera, "I will control the 'Kraken.' If it harms any of Eric's people, I will stop it!"
"No, you can't! No one can control the Kraken."
Mera touched her hair, making her hair, which had become somewhat disheveled from the water, more tidy.
"Once you release the monster, no one can control it!"
Mera had not finished speaking when she heard a faint rumbling of thunder in the distant sky.
A sound like muffled thunder echoed in the distance, like the dull thunder before an impending storm brewing over the ocean.
"Did you hear that?"
Mera's expression became serious, and she asked Aquaman.
"Mm."
Aquaman looked up at the distant sky, his eyes no longer relaxed, but instead exceptionally serious.
He knew that the true presence he feared was about to descend.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of air bursting rang out, and the clouds in the distant sky were pushed apart. A straight trace of air impact appeared in the sky, then quickly disappeared.
The person leaving the fleeting trace was Eric!
Breaking through the constraints of the sky at supersonic speed, Eric instantly descended into the center of the battlefield.
His black uniform shone with a cold light across the entire sea, and his cape flapped loudly in the slightly windy sky.
Eric looked at the giant sea monster in the center of the battlefield, and with an expressionless face, fired Heat Vision emitting powerful destructive force from his eyes.
Sizzle!
The Heat Vision instantly pierced through the tentacle closest to him, and blood immediately splattered out.
