The Boss Behind The Game

Now, the players, who were watching the live stream, could finally see the true face of the creature.

Its head, that was exposed above the water, was over a kilometer wide. Similar to a tiger's head, there was a red king-like character blazing on the center of its head. Light gleamed on the brown-colored scales on part of its body that was seen above the water.

The players could feel its overbearing aura even through the live stream.

As the giant beast dove into the water, a message popped up.

[Taowu (Overlord of the Void Ocean): The supreme king of the ocean who has ruled the Void Ocean for tens of thousands of years. Its ability has reached the level of an Ocean Spirit!]

Specific information: ? (Unidentifiable!)

In the comment section:

"Wow~ They caught an Ocean Spirit of the highest level…"

"Damn, it's so huge! This creature is gigantic. I reckon a creature as big as this can swallow a dozen Cha Nas in one gulp!"

"I'm terrified!"

"Well, I'll be damned! What kind of creature is this? It's at least 10,000 meters long! This is so horrifying!"

"Damn. I once secretly wished to get lucky and catch a Spiritual Fish of the Ocean Spirit level, thinking that I'd make a fortune from it. But, can I fucking catch this? I'm speechless."

"You can certainly catch it. Why not? Didn't you see how our two little friends successfully caught it? Although they did pay a huge price for it (this is hilarious)."

"So this is the level of an Ocean Spirit… I'm so scared!"

"I'm dumbstruck. If this Ocean Spirit was caught, I reckon that even a warship like Moira would be defeated immediately!"

"The brothers were abundantly lucky. They met the most powerful one in the Void Ocean the first time they sailed. It's such a waste that the Hawthorn Fish is gone. They are now finished alongside the boat!"

"Damn. Can you not compare a vicious beast of this level with Cha Na? It's too ferocious!"

"Oh my god. For a second, I thought that I was watching a disaster film about a giant beast… no one could beat the luck of these two men. It was a Spiritual Sea Fish. Then, it upgraded to the supreme Ocean Spirit. That's so scary!"

"Ding~ Congratulations to the two brothers. You have successfully become the fisher of the Ocean Spirit. Congratulations!"

"This is the Overlord of the Void Ocean? The Sea King's boss? Wow. It's so difficult to conquer the water!"

"I accept the challenge. My Naraka Warship has already aimed its main cannon at it!"

"It's just an Ocean Spirit. Believe it or not? I can fight a round with him!"

"I believe that you'll be eaten within one round? (hilarious)"

"I think that the Hawthorn Fish probably attracted Taowu's attention. Perhaps, it was too hungry and conveniently swallowed the brothers, too. They were really lucky."

All the players, who were watching the live stream, were startled when the live streaming channel blacked out.

The size of the Taowu was sufficient to distress a person immensely, not to mention that it had not shown its ability yet. All the players felt that they were no match for this powerful overlord of the ocean.

However, challenges were supposed to act as motivations. After a heated debate, the players vowed to take down the strong rival and share the Spiritual Meat of the Ocean Spirit with one another.

Even Lu Wu and Bei Li were extremely shocked by Taowu's advent.

One could only explain this as a coincidence when the overlord, who spent most of its days resting at the bottom of the Void Ocean, would unexpectedly appear at the surface of the sea to hunt for fish. It even ate the two fishermen who really had terrific luck.

Before long, a message was published in the forum. The audience quickly crowded around.

"What happened? Where is my Spiritual Sea Fish? I am confused!"

Comments:

Watermelon_Taro: "I'm taking up the front row! By the way, congratulations on catching an Ocean Spirit!"

Ba Mu replied to Watermelon_Taro: "I'm asking about the Spiritual Sea Fish. Don't talk nonsense!"

Watermelon_Taro replied to Ba Mu: "I saved the video of your live stream. You should have a look! (hilarious) — Video Attachment"

Strike_Gold: "Whoops! Congratulations, brother! You've successfully shown us Taowu's charm! He's so charming!"

Crayon_Shinchan: "Bro, do you want to take revenge? (hilarious)"

Xueli_The_Strongest: "Is that the original poster? Hugs~ The Hawthorn Fish is currently in Taowu's stomach."

Invincible_Loneliness: "Many of my guild members told me to watch your live stream just now. They said there were great deals, asking me to purchase them. But, I was speechless the moment I entered the live streaming channel and saw the scene!"

Cultivating_Longevity: "Taowu? The vicious beast is so scary. I predict that it is not far from becoming a god."

Ye_Chen_The_Most_Handsome: "Can I kill it with a single arrow?"

A_Mammoth replied to Ye_Chen_The_Most_Handsome: "Of course! Brother Ye Chen is always the strongest man!"

Xueli_The_Strongest replied to Ye_Chen_The_Most_Handsome: "Of course you can! Our big brother, Ye Chen, is a headwind artifact. One Taowu is nothing. For him, two Taowus are only worth one arrow!"

Assassin_Creed replied to Ye_Chen_The_Most_Handsome: "Brother Ye's arrows are unstoppable. Be it Taowu or the Ocean Spirit, he can kill them with a single arrow. He can even puncture the heaven vault and bring down the sun to make it into a ball!"

Crayon_Shinchan replied to Ye_Chen_The_Most_Handsome: "Brother Ye, you've been rather confident lately (hilarious). Also, @everyone: Promise me, let's not be an obsequious dog, okay? (hilarious)"

Crayon_Shinchan @everyone: "But first, let me pat the dogs who have just commented (hilarious)"

Ba Mu: "I've finished watching the video. What the hell! Taowu was too harsh. Give me back the Hawthorn Fish! (grief)"

After watching the synopsis of the video, many players, who missed the live stream, were stunned, too. The players started to discuss enthusiastically about Taowu's strength in the forum.

However, the players' astonishment did not die down. Three hours later, Ba Mu respawned at the Mansion of the Dead and logged into the game again. Following that, he created another post in the forum.

The post immediately caused a turmult within the forum and attracted the attention of all the players.

"Hmm, when I was swallowed, I might have grabbed something by accident. It seems to be something amazeballs. Let's take a look at this! This is its first appearance. We should evaluate it and guess its price!"

A picture was attached to the post. A light blue spine, which was about the length of an arm, appeared before the players' eyes, coupled with a screenshot of its attributes.
