Mental Resistance x3!

In a rare moment, Luke used Mental Resistance consecutively.

He hadn’t immediately activated the system’s defense mechanism earlier because he wanted to test something.

He wanted to see if he could withstand the giant octopus’s strange mental attack by relying on just his own abilities.

If he succeeded, he would then be able to spend all his faith value on attacking the octopus instead.

This giant octopus was really a pain in the ass.

The first time, it had been a pretty ordinary big monster. Even bullets could hurt it, and a bottle of Alien blood had burned a huge hole in its head.

The second time, Luke had cut off a tentacle and also left a hole in its head, but it had run off with Luke’s katana.

This was the third time. Not only had the guy grown bigger, he also had a weird Mental Interference ability.

Even with the armor’s mental defenses and Luke’s own Mental Resistance, he found it a little hard to bear. His teammates would have basically been killed instantly.

Not only was the giant octopus’s Mental Interference powerful, it covered a large area.

As long as a person couldn’t withstand this ability, they wouldn’t even have a chance of getting close.

Also, the octopus liked to move around in deep waters, and most firearms were useless against it.

If this guy continued to grow, what kind of monster would it become?

Luke didn’t want to think about it.

It wasn’t that he was biased against big monsters, but that this guy had eaten countless people on the cruise liner.

Humans were just moving lumps of meat to it, and it ate them whenever it wanted to.

Could Luke hope that it would never attack humans? Obviously not.

Ordinary people were barred from raising fierce dogs, but this giant octopus wasn’t under any sort of restriction.

Thinking quickly, Luke exerted strength and cut a huge wound in the octopus’s head.

With a thought, he stuffed a big ‘cannon’ into the wound.

Then, he was sent flying by a tentacle.

The giant octopus also had dozens of small tentacles on its head, which were more than enough to attack Luke with.

As Luke was sent flying, he stared at the giant octopus’s wound.

Fire sparked inside the wound, which looked especially obvious in the dark water.

Boom!

Flames suddenly spread out and a huge wound more than ten meters long appeared on the big head.

Hiss!

The giant octopus roared in pain and shook its head.

Even more terrifying Mental Interference assailed Luke, and his face suddenly darkened.

The area around the giant octopus’s huge wound suddenly turned from light yellow to a dull gray.

Black blood spurted out.

But the next moment, the light yellow color returned and the wound closed up. Even the blood that spurted out was absorbed back into the body.

In less than two seconds, the hole in the octopus’s head disappeared.

Its dozens of eyes were full of anger and fear… before it turned around and ran.

This time, Luke didn’t immediately charge forward to attack. Instead, he sent a message to Selina. “Show Gold Nugget a video of this guy recovering from its injuries.”

Selina was silent for a moment, before Hellhound sent a message. “A symbiote! There’s definitely a symbiote on this guy. It’s probably the one called Shriek.”

Motherf*cker! Luke cursed inwardly. Seriously? It could even combine with such a big octopus?

Fine, Luke was just letting off some steam.

The size of the host wasn’t important; it was just that the symbiote was a cheat.

No wonder the octopus had changed color and size – it was because it had a symbiote.

Even after learning this, Luke still had questions. Symbiotes could block mental abilities, but he had never heard of any of them having Mental Interference.

Shriek had come with Venom and the other symbiotes. They all knew each other well.

The dog head, Venom and Agony weren’t aware of an ability like that, nor had Riot, imprisoned in Space 2, mentioned it before.

Shriek’s scream was indeed a headache-inducing ability, but that caused physiological harm more than it was a mental attack.

Without this Mental Interference, the giant octopus would be a threat to humans, but within a tolerable range.

With this large-scale Mental Interference ability, however, as long as it moved through a city, countless people would turn into bloodthirsty lunatics.

When that happened, it would be meaningless no matter how prepared humans were.

That was because nobody could isolate or keep all the people in a city under control; that was unrealistic.

After a moment’s observation, Luke finally charged forward again.

The giant octopus sped up and waved its tentacles behind it to fend off Luke.

One man and one sea creature re-enacted the South Pole chase.

The difference was that Luke didn’t lose his blade this time, and the giant octopus wasn’t afraid of its tentacles being cut off.

The symbiote’s regenerative ability, coupled with the giant octopus’s mountain-like body, was simply a cheat.

Luke had even gotten Ultima to do an emergency analysis, and learned that even a nuclear missile might not be able to kill the octopus.

Gold Nugget had already proven that symbiotes didn’t react much to radiation.

Only the light and heat from the resulting explosion would be able to effectively kill the giant octopus.

However, the giant octopus had a strong regenerative ability. Now that it had the symbiote, it could recover very quickly even after half its body was blown up.

It was also impossible for Luke to use a nuke on it.

In the blink of an eye, they had traveled hundreds of kilometers.

Suddenly, the giant octopus’s body shook, and it jerked backward.

Luke spun to the side to avoid whatever it spurted out.

Just now, this guy had shot out a lot of strange things.

There was ink, sludge and rock fragments. Who knew what it would shoot out this time.

As Luke was thinking that, the giant octopus spat out a huge ball of something sticky and opaque.

Although Luke wasn’t sure what the giant octopus’s poop looked like, the thing in front of him really did look like it.

He dodged, glad that he hadn’t been hit in the face, when Polaris sent him a notification. “Deadpool’s signal has appeared. Communication system restored.”

Stumped for a moment, Luke couldn’t help but stop in his tracks. He was a little dumbfounded when he looked at the ‘octopus poop.’ “F*ck, do I really have to dig through sh*t?”

Even as he said that, he could only stop.

He released two deep sea androids from his inventory, which charged at the poop.

The androids’ sense of touch and smell could be turned off so that they became purely remote-controlled robots. That way, it wouldn’t be… too disgusting.

Despite that, Luke’s expression still didn’t look good.

He could turn the other senses off, but he still had to keep an eye on this thing.

The lump of sh*t was a little strange, and the GPS signal on Wade’s armor wasn’t stable.

So, Luke could only scan and analyze the image feed which the androids sent back in order to lock onto Wade’s position.

Thankfully, it didn’t take long, and it only took 20 seconds for the androids to pull Wade out of the lump of sh*t.
