Chapter 017: Deep Ones

To be honest, when Wang Bo saw these monsters, he recognized their identity.

They were Deep Ones!

In Cthulhu Mythos, a lower servant race.

Although merely a lower servant race, Deep Ones possessed a lifespan unimaginable to humans; their arrogant lives were filled with a cold beauty, their cruelty was unbelievable, and their lives were eternal. As servant race of Cthulhu, they did not die from aging and would not perish without external influence.

While people racked their brains pursuing immortality, Deep Ones were born with eternal life.

This alone proved the excellence of Deep Ones.

At least in terms of lifespan, they were superior to humans.

It was only in appearance that they were truly hideous, of course only from a human perspective. After all, everyone's aesthetic standards differed, let alone those of different species.

Perhaps in the eyes of Deep Ones, humans were all ugly.

But interestingly, Deep Ones could produce hybrid offspring with humans.

Humans born with the blood of Deep Ones might appear normal for a time, but due to contact with their kin or extreme stress, their features could rapidly transform into the frog-like visage characteristic of Deep Ones, known as the 'Innsmouth look,' and over time they would gradually lose human form.

First, their eyes would bulge so much that eyelids could not close; their skin would turn gray-green, becoming cold and wet with scales; then webbing would grow between their fingers, and gills would appear on the wrinkled back of their necks, transforming into an amphibian form in a relatively short time.

This was really too hardcore; Wang Bo said he couldn't accept it.

Love could transcend species, but at least you had to look somewhat human.

For example, Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing.

Although the two women were monsters, they could at least take human form. If they couldn't, Wang Bo admitted he wouldn't have the courage to make a move.

The appearance of Deep Ones immediately caused earth-shattering screams from people strolling on the beach.

Humans absolutely could not accept the appearance of Deep Ones.

But more importantly, Deep Ones did not seem too friendly toward humans. After swarming out of the sea in dense numbers, they saw humans and unhesitatingly raised their weapons.

Kill!

In an instant, countless unlucky souls fell as victims to Deep Ones. By the time Wang Bo arrived, blood had stained a small part of the beach red.

Wang Bo waved his hand, casting the ability to summon soldiers by scattering beans, and one by one heavenly soldiers appeared.

Each of them could match over a dozen Deep Ones, and they quickly halted the Deep Ones' advance.

But Wang Bo did not stop; he plunged into the sea.

He needed to calm the spatial fluctuations, otherwise endless Deep Ones would pour out of the sea, which would be a disaster for humanity.

Wang Bo even suspected that if he left it unchecked, even more terrifying entities might enter this world.

For instance, the deity worshipped by Deep Ones.

Dagon!

This being was the parent of Deep Ones and also a servant of the Great Old One Cthulhu. For Wang Bo, it would be a relatively difficult enemy.

Wang Bo certainly did not want this world to be invaded by deities from the Cthulhu Mythos.

So he urged his cheat to repair the spatial rift as quickly as possible.

And the cheat lived up to expectations, beginning to repair the spatial rift at top speed.

Deep in the sea, dense crowds of Deep Ones saw Wang Bo as if he were delicious food, letting out sharp cries and swarming toward him.

Wang Bo snorted coldly, punched out, and the surging force of his fist stirred up layers of giant waves in the sea, while the scorching fist force evaporated part of the seawater.

Countless Deep Ones turned to ashes under this blow, ceasing to exist.

Although Deep Ones were part of Cthulhu's kind, they still felt fear. Wang Bo's single punch annihilated a small portion of them, directly frightening the remaining Deep Ones.

Even though only one percent of the Deep Ones had vanished.

But the fact was that Wang Bo had used only one punch.

If he continued, swinging dozens of punches, wouldn't he kill most of his companions?

For a time, most of the Deep Ones retreated in the face of difficulty.

Many Deep Ones bypassed Wang Bo and headed toward the beach.

Wang Bo certainly would not allow these Deep Ones to easily reach the beach. He clapped his hands together, and an invisible magical force swept out, causing the surrounding currents to swirl around him.

In just a few breaths, a layer of underwater storm took shape under Wang Bo's control.

The terrifying storm instantly sucked in the Deep Ones and shredded them to pieces.

Most of the Deep Ones screamed, trying to escape the underwater storm.

But unfortunately, they were too close to the storm, and it formed too quickly; by the time they reacted, it was too late.

One by one, Deep Ones perished body and soul in the storm, their spurting blood dyeing the deep sea red.

With this ultimate move, Wang Bo directly killed two-thirds of the Deep Ones.

Only a small fraction of Deep Ones escaped the disaster.

At the same time, Wang Bo noticed that the spatial rift had finally been repaired. As before, Wang Bo was left in the Deep Ones' world, but that was fine—he still had the Dimension Gate.

After leaving the sea, Wang Bo flew into the sky and found that this world was enveloped by ocean—an endless expanse of water with only scattered islands and no land.

Unwilling to linger in this world, Wang Bo took out the Dimension Gate and easily returned to the Spider-Man world.

After closing the Dimension Gate, the two worlds were no longer connected.

Then Wang Bo returned to the coast of San Francisco and found that the heavenly soldiers he had summoned had already killed all the Deep Ones that had invaded this world.

At the same time, a group of soldiers were rushing to the seaside in tanks.

Wang Bo ignored these soldiers, dismissed the heavenly soldiers, and after a moment's thought, set fire to the Deep Ones' corpses, burning them clean.

No!!!

A voice came from behind Wang Bo. A soldier strode toward him, saying, 'Put out the fire immediately. You have no right to burn these corpses.'

Wang Bo couldn't help but sneer a few times. Seeing the American soldier's attitude, he knew the man must be carrying out some mission.

It was probably an order from above to bring all these Deep Ones' corpses back.
