The battle on the surface of the water was in constant flux.
The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend.
The people Charles had painstakingly protected showed no gratitude, instead turning their cannons toward the small island, determined to nip the danger in the bud.
Little did they know they were dancing on the edge of death!
Meanwhile, in the depths of the ocean, Han Shaoqing and Namor's battle was nearing its climax.
A figure streaked through the deep-sea abyss, crashing into the coral reef. Countless corals shattered, and wisps of blood bloomed in the water, yet no sharks dared approach.
"Long live the king!"
Namor roared in fury. Stomping his foot, his Trident blazed with golden light as he surged toward Han Shaoqing like a lightning strike, aiming the weapon straight for his throat.
"Still can't see the gap between us?"
Facing Namor's swift approach, Han Shaoqing held his own halberd with one hand and executed "God-Slaying Shatter." The strike sent Namor's Trident flying and exposed the right side of his body.
With his left hand, Han Shaoqing gathered water elemental energy, forming a spiraling sphere the size of a basketball.
This was an attack technique he had developed by combining the Rasengan with his own abilities.
The Rasengan itself was a neutral energy sphere; by infusing it with different types of energy, one could achieve various effects.
After obtaining the Sea King Physique, Han Shaoqing now possessed water and lightning attributes. In the deep sea, using the Water Spiral Absorption Pill was particularly convenient.
The principle behind the Water Spiral Absorption Pill was similar to that of a regular Rasengan, but it could create a water vortex in the ocean, drawing people toward it.
It was as if Namor himself had charged toward the spiral orb in Han Shaoqing's hand. With a thunderous crash, the Atlantean king was sent flying backward.
Han Shaoqing tightened his grip on the Trident, his right arm vibrating with lightning speed. The sharp tip instantly pierced Namor's right rib.
With a swift upward thrust and a downward press, Han Shaoqing beckoned, his suction power expanding to draw the Trident from Namor's grasp. The weapon plunged into Namor's left leg. Then, gripping the Trident with both hands, he pressed down and stepped forward, pinning Namor's head beneath his foot.
**Ding! The host is currently standing on the head of the Sea King Namor, meeting the check-in conditions. Do you wish to check in?**
"Check in."
**Checking in... Countdown: 10, 9... 3, 2, 1. Check-in successful! Congratulations, host, you have obtained— Mera from the Sea DC World.**
**Mera: Princess of the Kingdom of Xebel, King Orm's fiancée. A brave warrior capable of manipulating the form of water.**
**Claim reward?**
Faced with this married woman—no, wait, King Orm's fiancée! The very Mera who should have become Sea King Arthur's wife!
Han Shaoqing didn't rush to claim his reward. After successfully opening it, he looked down at Namor.
"You've lost. Surrender the throne of Atlantis, and I'll spare your life."
Killing Namor would be easy for Han Shaoqing, but if he could force the king to abdicate voluntarily, it would be even easier to control Atlantis.
"You'll never get my throne! I'd rather die than let you..."
*Shing!*
Han Shaoqing pulled the Trident from Namor's leg and said coldly, "Then die!"
The golden Trident swept through the air, sending a spray of blood.
He had offered Namor a chance, but the king had failed to seize it. Leaving him alive would only cause trouble, so it was best to deal with him swiftly.
As for using the blue hand of the *Double Perfection Hand* to reform Namor's soul, Han Shaoqing had considered it.
However, the *Double Perfection Hand* wasn't omnipotent. Namor's soul was exceptionally strong, and trying to reform it would be more trouble than it was worth. Killing him directly was simpler.
After storing Namor's head and the Trident in the *Cosmic Ring*, Han Shaoqing sensed Red Tank's presence about ten miles away in the ocean.
Red Tank looked disheveled, his clothes torn to shreds, though his helmet remained intact. He stumbled forward, blowing a string of bubbles with each step. Whether he was still terrified of Artoria or had lost his bearings, he was walking in the opposite direction of the island.
Thanks to his immortality and regenerative factor, Red Tank could heal at superhuman speed, his previously blasted-away parts already restored to their original state.
One had to admire Red Tank's tenacious vitality. His "Self-Sustaining" superpower meant he didn't need to breathe, eat, drink, or rest.
The magic energy he generated on his own was enough to sustain him through sleep, nutrition, hydration, and oxygen.
Even at the bottom of the ocean, Red Tank could move as easily as if he were on land.
Han Shaoqing quickly swam behind Red Tank.
He knew that Red Tank's monstrous abilities stemmed from his magic power.
Compared to Kill Wolverine, Red Tank would be far harder to kill.
Conventional methods were useless against him; only magic could defeat magic.
Han Shaoqing couldn't use magic, but he remembered from *Deadpool 2* that Red Tank seemed to fear electricity.
Looking at the pale, flabby mass of flesh behind Red Tank, a terrifying idea suddenly surfaced in Han Shaoqing's mind, one he couldn't suppress.
"Let's try it!"
With a thought, Han Shaoqing locked onto his target, raised the Trident, and unleashed a Backstab of Justice.
*Whoosh!* A cold gleam flashed as he shot forward like a dragon, the Trident in his hand appearing behind Red Tank in an instant.
*Pfft!*
The Trident crackled with powerful electricity as its longest central prong pierced the Red Tank's softest spot with deadly accuracy. The shorter prongs also sank deep into its body.
*Awoooo!!!*
The disoriented Red Tank screamed as if struck by lightning. But trapped in the deep sea, its open mouth only released a torrent of bubbles, turning the scream into a gurgling sound.
With a convulsive shudder, the Red Tank collapsed heavily to the seabed. After a final twitch, it lay completely still.
Strands of blood and unidentified matter drifted in the water. Han Shaoqing quickly manipulated the currents to maintain a clean space around himself.
He isolated a patch of water and didn't dare take a deep breath, fearing the smell.
At the same time, he resolved to use this move sparingly in the future—it was truly too brutal!
Watching the Red Tank's gruesome state, Han Shaoqing felt a chill run down his spine. Even if it survived, he estimated it would carry psychological scars for life.
Despite the Red Tank's tragic end, his task remained. Sensing the US-Soviet forces aiming their cannons at the island, Han Shaoqing didn't delay. He stepped onto the Red Tank's head.
Ding! You are currently standing on the Red Tank's head, meeting the check-in conditions. Would you like to check in?
"Check in."
Checking in... Countdown: 10, 9, 8... 3, 2, 1. Check-in successful! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the Red of All Beings from the DC World.
Red of All Beings: One of the six primal elements created by Gaia, the Earth Goddess. Allows you to temporarily borrow the abilities of animals (e.g., the flight of birds, the strength of ants).
Would you like to claim it?
