Chapter 100- Divine Beginning

Calling the creature in front of him a monster was an understatement. It exceeded that term and reached a level of its own. It didn\'t look like anything he had ever seen even in ancient fantastic tales. However, if Kai had to describe it, it was the closest thing to a Kraken.

Now, while Krakens are simply giant, monstrous octopuses, this one is different from that in the sense that it wasn\'t an octopus. Rather, it was a horrid mix between an insect and an octopus. It had countless eyes on its head akin to that of a fly.

Its slimy, soft-looking body kept moving left and right as if it was vibrating along with the undercurrents of the sea. It had no nose or ears. However, it had a gigantic mouth filled with twisted and broken fangs and tusks. It was big enough to swallow a giant ship whole.

Looking at it from close, Kai could feel it sucking him in slowly as he was floating quietly.

\'This isn\'t anywhere close form synthetically created monsters.\' Kai thought to himself with a frown.

Although as far as Kai knew, the only species that humans were able to infuse Origin successfully were only plants because of their rather simple anatomy and their aptitude for Origin. Infusing them with Origin did indeed increase their size and turn them into rather hostile creatures. However, even in the case of an Origin-infused animal, it would never reach such a terrifying state at all.

That meant only one thing… This thing wasn\'t the creation of humans nor the creation of Origin itself. It was born a monster and lived long enough to become this abomination.

Reaching that conclusion, Kai felt as though a huge headache was coming at him from the horizon. He knew that this wasn\'t just a simple discovery of a new species. It was far from that.

As Kai was having such thoughts, the monster noticed his presence and made that loud shriek that shook the whole sea.

Then, it swam toward him, dwarfing his already comparatively small size even more. It was as if Kai was facing a huge skyscraper. Opening its giant, abyss-like mouth, it sucked in the water around it.

Kai felt his body being pulled powerfully. So, he quickly channeled his Origin and swam back, resisting the force.

\'I don\'t have time for such thoughts.\' He cursed as he quickly unsheathed his sword before he swam around the monster.

The latter didn\'t seem to have any intention to let him do what he wants as it immediately sent numerous tentacles toward him. Using his sword, Kai skillfully cut through the sea of tentacles as he moved in the direction he intended to.

With each move, blood will gush out from these disgusting limbs, making the creature howl in pain. Its anger could be seen in its black eyes. Its relentless nature seemed to be way stronger than Kai could ever anticipate as it kept attacking him from all angles.

Even for someone like Kai, keeping track of all of these tentacles was a hard task especially when he was feeling an ever-rising burning pain in his lungs. At most, he had 2 or 3 minutes to finish all of this and come back to the top.

*Swish*

Cutting the closest tentacle, Kai was finally close to the monster\'s head. The two stared at each other as Kai was about to move his sword. However, at that second, the monster suddenly tilted its head so that it aim its mouth at Kai before it did something Kai never expected.

Out of its mouth, countless tentacles flew out at an extremely high speed. Kai\'s eyes widened slightly as he found himself facing them before he could even react.

*BANG*

The surprise attack connected violently and Kai found himself flying back at an extremely fast speed. The hit was extremely powerful but Kai was somehow able to handle it to a certain extent.

This was by far the strongest attack Kai had ever sustained in his life.

"AGH…" A bubble of air leaked out of his mouth, making his situation even more urgent. But, he didn\'t stop for a second to readjust himself.

\'Fuck… you…\' He cursed as he felt anger flare in his eyes. Then, he quickly wrapped his arms around the tentacles that kept on pushing him away.

His muscles contorted and his veins bulged visibly. An inhuman amount of Origin channeled through his body, illuminating his hypnotic purple eyes. A second later, he was able to stop the tentacles miraculously.

Then, he exerted even more force before he did something completely shocking. He twisted his body around as he pulled the tentacles along with him.

"HNNNNG…" A low groan escaped his mouth when he felt the sheer weight of what he was about to do.

Spinning around, he pulled the tentacles closer and closer. Along with it, he was able to pull the huge monster along with him.

The creature howled seemingly in shock as it tried to resist. But, Kai\'s tight grip on the tentacles didn\'t lessen.

In a matter of few seconds, the monster found itself spinning around as Kai used its tentacles like a rope to swing it with.

The monster tried to resist or even hit Kai. But, the latter didn\'t allow it to even breathe for a second.

The sight was shocking, to a comical degree. A small human was swinging a giant creature around as if it was a small toy. It didn\'t make sense and yet it was happening.

After spinning around, slowly increasing the speed, Kai reached the momentum he wanted. He felt the creature turn dizzy from the constant movement and that\'s when he finally did it.

With all of his strength, he raised the monster in the air before he smashed it down on the sea floor.

"HNNNG!" Kai\'s teeth clenched violently as he exerted all of his physical strength.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOM*

A huge explosion occurred the moment the monster made contact with the sea floor. A cloud of dust and debris filled the place and shrouded whatever was left of Kai\'s vision of the place.

However, the latter didn\'t care as he quickly dived down toward the monster. His hand was already on his sword and his eyes were closed.

The pain in his lungs was now almost unbearable. He knew that he had no time to rise to the top at this rate but he had no other choice. He either kills it or it will kill him.

His heart calmed down and his chaotic state of mind became serene. Everything around him became a bleak existence as his mind completely focused on his sword.

Wretched Heart felt its owner\'s change and it seemingly shone with a weird light as if it was excited at the thought of what was about to happen. Its dark color became even darker as its aura filled Kai\'s body. For the first time in a very long time, Kai allowed Wretched Heart to exert its aura as much as it wanted.

All this time, he was suppressing its true strength so as to not make it lose control and turn him into a bloodthirsty maniac. However, at that moment, Kai had no other choice.

He needed to finish this thing in one single move and that required Wretched Heart to be at its full potential.

Finally, Kai\'s hand moved as his eyes opened.

\'Divine Beginning.\'

In an instant, the world froze.
