The Crawford's Multiverse of Madness

Chapter 181 - Kraken Falling From Space

When Zeel finally woke up, he didn't have time to complain about Alice's constant slaps to his face.

His attention was instantly directed towards the Kraken that was now beginning to emit massive amounts of energy.

Zeel and Alice both felt that this energy was familiar to them, yet also foreign at the same time.

Alice's eyes widened realizing what the energy type is "Divinity!"

Zeel nodded solemnly "Yeah, the beast has been holding back this entire time,"

"I wish we could say the same," Alice said staring at Zeel intently "We have to stop the transformation before it is completed,"

The flames that had just been quelled to catch Zeel suddenly reignited with double the intensity. Of course, all the beast on Alice's side was already dead.

If they didn't die from Alice's attacks, then they were scared to death by the sudden pressure emitted by The Kraken.

"Let's go," Zeel said materializing a couple of dozen silver balls near himself.

There was no need for a planning phase since only one thing could be done in such a scenario – roast the giant squid.

"Will this really work?" Alice asked a bit doubtful.

'Zeel has to know that this plan is a bit on the stupid side' Alice thought internally.

It was unlike Zeel to not eliminate the enemy in its entirety at the earliest possible convenience.

Soon she realized the answer, he was trying to delay so Elizabeth could get the divine spark under control.

Even as far as they were from the Earth, Alice and Zeel could still feel her struggle to control the divine spark slowly being introduced into her body.

Zeel clearly didn't want to damage the Kraken more than necessary since he was planning on using it for some other purpose.

There was a similar occasion before they left Kong island, Zeel would always leave silver-balls embedded in the ground of important locations.

Alice also noted that he did something similar when leaving Lorien.

She did not know what these silver-balls were for specifically since all of Zeel's tech was multi-purpose. But she was sure that it was one of the many trump cards he had been saving up.

Zeel was the first to disappear in a flash of lightning, then Alice also disappeared with a flicker of flames. A blue streak spread across space clearly showing the path the anti-gravity boots had taken.

Of course, The Kraken was not about to let them close without a battle.

It was currently in a vulnerable state during transformations so any attacks could cause its internal energies to rampage. This would cause severe damage, and possibly even death.

The tentacles struck out with renewed vigor, three times faster than the speed of sound.

Space itself trembled under the tentacles that now had traces of divinity mixed within.

One hit by those tentacles and even Zeel would find it hard to survive without divine intervention.

'whoosh, whoosh, whoosh'

Tentacles flashed past Zeel's face, missing his nose by a couple of centimeters.

Alice was unable to dodge fast enough and sustained some skin injuries, but nothing life-threatening. Zeel could sense his intuition flare up temporarily.
