Chapter 68: The Solution
🕑 Added 2025-10-20 04:08:13 +0000 UTC"No, don't worry! There are so many of us!" one shapeshifter roared. "Let's kill this four-armed freak together!"
"Our bodies are immortal! We can't be permanently destroyed by any means of attack!"
"No matter how powerful he is, we'll exhaust him eventually!!"
Although Four Arms radiated an overwhelming aura that struck unprecedented fear into these aliens, a primal terror that made their stolen human forms tremble, the thought of their immortal bodies rekindled their fighting spirit.
They couldn't be killed anyway!
"Then let's test that theory," Four Arms replied coldly.
His four massive palms rubbed together, joints cracking with sounds like snapping bones, "Click, click, click."
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, more than a dozen alien monsters rushed toward Four Arms like rabid predators!
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Four Arms simply waved his four palms forward, as casual as swatting flies, and swept every single shapeshifter away. They flew into every corner of the cave with bone-crushing force!
The appalling power drove them deep into the surrounding walls, their bodies completely ruptured. It would take them considerable time to regenerate from such devastating damage!!
"What... what terrifying strength!!"
"I've never seen such a powerful creature..."
"No, he must die. With him around, our plan to conquer Earth might never succeed!"
This invincible display horrified the undead monsters, but it also strengthened their resolve!
Four Arms had to be eliminated!!
Moreover, this creature had clearly transformed from that troublesome child! There was definitely something unusual going on!
"Come at me," Four Arms said with chilling calmness.
On the surface, he appeared to be fighting without thinking, but his mind was racing. Where's the water source? Groundwater? Will it appear if I break through the ceiling?
He remembered clearly: water was the key to defeating these aliens.
While distracted by his thoughts, Four Arms continued waving his four arms casually. Without even going all out, he smashed every alien that dared approach him into pulp!!
Two minutes passed. While operating at half-capacity, the Tetramand had already beaten down a quarter of the shapeshifter force!
The surviving aliens finally understood they were outmatched. None dared approach Four Arms anymore, they knew full well that waiting for them was nothing but obliteration!!
Could this four-armed monster be one of the infamous Tetramands from the Planet Khorus? some wondered. Is that child actually a Tetramand in disguise?
The fight was becoming genuinely terrifying!
"Why aren't you attacking?" Four Arms asked, eyeing the hesitant aliens with suspicion. "Come on, I'm just playing around."
A wave of frustration swept through the shapeshifter ranks.
A life-and-death battle in their eyes...
Was just a game to Four Arms.
"Everyone attack together! Never let him humiliate us again!"
"Yes! All at once!"
Many aliens began shrieking in rage as they rushed toward Four Arms, desperately hanging onto his massive frame like living clothing.
"Together? Fine. I'll kill you all together then." Four Arms stood lazily in place, still letting these aliens assault him with impunity!
Soon!
The Tetramand's body was completely submerged beneath a writhing pile of aliens. They formed a living hill, pinning Four Arms beneath their collective mass!
"Success! He can't get out! He'll probably suffocate!"
"Ha ha! This four-armed freak isn't so special after all!"
The aliens congratulated each other with expressions of pure satisfaction.
"Who... are you saying is dead?!"
Four Arms' incomparably powerful voice boomed like thunder, bombarding the ears of every alien. His muscles began flexing with explosive force!
BOOM!!
Four Arms' body swelled like an inflating balloon. Every muscle bulged with overwhelming power. His four arms pushed outward with devastating strength, the force comparable to a nuclear detonation!
This was the power of going all out!
Countless alien monsters pressing against him transformed into alien paste in an instant, then were blasted backward by the shockwave of his full-power eruption!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The mountain-like pile of aliens collapsed instantly. Bodies flew toward every corner of the cave, smashing into walls with thunderous impacts. Expressions of disbelief were frozen on their distorted faces!
Some aliens even crashed through the soft earthern ceiling, not only bringing down loose soil but also,
CRACK!!
Water.
Four Arms stood proudly like an undefeated warlord. His body brimmed with explosive muscle mass, and a faint red glow radiated from his skin. His strength had reached a qualitative transformation, like crimson lightning given physical form!
With one punch, he could demolish the entire cave!
No doubt about it!
All the aliens were stunned by what they witnessed, as if they were seeing a god of pure power. A strange urge to bow their heads rose unbidden in their hearts!
Drip. Drip.
At that moment...
The sound of water droplets echoed throughout the cavern.
Four Arms looked up sharply.
The loose soil above had been smashed away, exposing the town's water pipes!!
A pipe had broken in one corner, steadily dripping water!
"Now," Four Arms said with a smile that resembled Death itself, "I can send you to meet your maker with a clear conscience."
"No, don't!!"
"Wait! We were wrong! We were wrong!"
"We'll leave Earth now! Please spare us!"
When the aliens saw the water, panic overwhelmed them. They screamed in absolute terror!
Crack!
However, Four Arms' right fist was already moving toward the water pipe above with casual precision.
BOOM! BOOM!
A series of explosive air pockets bloomed before his fist, sparks cascading through the atmosphere like heavy rain. The invisible shockwave struck the water pipe and shattered it instantly!
WHOOSH!!
A torrential stream of water, like a downpour from the heavens, poured from the heights, gradually drenching the terrified aliens below!
"AHHHHH!"
"HELP!!"
The aliens who had thought themselves immortal now screamed like condemned souls. Washed by the running water, they dissolved into puddles of genuine sludge!
"Everyone, hurry up and remove all the egg pods from inside," Four Arms commanded, no longer bothering with the dissolving aliens. He leaped heavily toward the spaceship entrance and addressed the three people inside. "Get them out now."
As expected, Max thought with satisfaction, Asher handled everything.
Gwen's previous worries vanished completely, replaced by a surge of admiration and gratitude.
Max, Ben, and Four Arms quickly began moving the special egg pods outside the spaceship. Gwen rapidly joined the effort to help. During the process, they also witnessed the remaining aliens, terrified by the water, fleeing in every direction like panicked rats!
This is what happens when you oppose Asher, Gwen thought grimly.
When all the pods were finally moved outside and arranged neatly, the remaining aliens saw their opportunity. While no one guarded the spaceship, they rushed inside frantically!
