"Is that so?" Sheyan sneered. "If I say it\'s possible, then it is."

Seizing the opportunity where the young Ichthyosaurus was spasming uncontrollably from the taser shock, the submarine started its full speed escape. Two streaks or rolling froth barreled out from the submarine\'s rear and propelled the submarine forward.

As the Chief Mate observed accelerating speed on the radar, he sighed with a bleak smile.

"We can at most maintain 15 knots underwater and not more, 20 knots if there\'s a sudden temporary burst of energy!"

Sheyan coldly chided.

"Shut it and widen your eyes."

Following the Chief Mate\'s surprised gaze, the radar velocity unexpectedly exceeded 15 knots and continued rising steadily!

Sheyan then inquired.

"What\'s the maximum velocity of a submarine at sea level?"

The Chief Mate swallowed his saliva and answered.

"20 knots…"

Sheyan immediately continued.

"Prepare to ascend, we can\'t care much now. If the submarine can attain 25 knots at sea level, shrugging off the dinosaur wouldn\'t be an issue. If it wishes to compete in endurance? That\'ll be a grave mistake!"

From the start, Sheyan had barged in with a murderous prestige and compelled the sailors in submission. Thus, his conduct undoubtedly displeased them, but regarding their tasks, they could only display outward devotion but inward opposition.

In spite of that, they followed his commands which unexpectedly led to a silver lining where they could at least see a ray of hope. Thus, Sheyan managed to swiftly establish his reputation.

With the command to ascend given, the sailors hastened into action and proactively controlled the submarine to ascend. Anyway, they were akin to grasshoppers on a single rope now.

Of course, since Sheyan killed their comrade to establish his might previously, for them to immediately prostrate themselves in admiration now was impossible. Nevertheless, since they were all in the same boat, any objection could only be reserved in the belly. Perhaps, there would be hoodlums who wanted to settle accounts after autumn, but would the gang of four fear them?

Theoretically, analogous to directly driving off after just turning on a vehicle, recklessly driving the submarine up too quickly would result in gravely detrimental damage to the submarine. Still, who would care in a situation like this?

The submarine didn\'t encounter any disruptions while ascending, but when the passengers looked out the windows, they could observe numerous deep depressions all over the submarine\'s surface; a truly frightening sight to behold. If not for it being previously a military grade shell, it would\'ve long been destroyed and sunk.

The submarine accelerated to a speed of 25 knots upon reaching sea level. Nevertheless, for a gigantic creature like an Ichthyosaurus, they could still surpass that speed with a short burst of energy. Yet for them to maintain that speed, it would be extremely difficult. After all, a creature\'s physical strength could never outlast a machine.

At present, dusk had arrived. Under Sheyan\'s command, the submarine swiftly glided along the sea surface.

The sunset casted a golden undulating brilliance over the ocean as flying fish occasionally leapt out the water.

These were special flying fish that were rare even in the real world. They only appeared in exceptionally pure and unpolluted waters. Relying on their massive fins, they could glide in mid-air for even 100-200 metres. Of course, males who could glide further were treated as better mating partners. The maximila of the flying fish was additionally sharp; fortunately, these fish weren\'t speedy fliers, thus human injury due to them was extremely uncommon even in the real world.

(TL: Flying fish can actually glide for hundreds of metres, although the mating part still sounds like some bs from the author)

Eyeing a close group of flying fish, Sheyan reached out and seized one. He swiftly cut open the fish belly and sliced the flesh into sashimi.

As it turns out, he ate in such a manner before in the real world, where he remembered the taste to be incomparable. As he sampled such a perfect and sumptuous freshness in his mouth again, he could feel the fish melting at the tip of his tongue. In addition to the natural salty taste of seawater, it was indeed a delicacy from heaven; leaving one carefree and relaxed afterwards.

By this point, the submarine crew reckoned the Ichthyosaurus couldn\'t keep up. After escaping from near death, they finally stepped onto the submarine deck above for a breath of fresh air.

Noticing Sheyan eating so sumptuously, they mimicked him and acted with the next group of flying fish.

The Chief Mate captured a flying fish and slit its belly. Instead, he discovered a cluster of fish roe inside and comparatively lesser flesh. Still, he didn\'t feel anything odd about it.

However, upon witnessing that scene, Sheyan suddenly sensed something was amiss. He pondered quickly before exclaiming with a deep tone.

"Careful!! There\'s a monstrous creature nearby!"

Brother Black turned anxious upon hearing him.

"Where?!"

Sheyan replied with a solemn expression.

"Only male flying fishes love to glide for mating purposes, why would the females follow them? The only explanation is a tremendous and tangible threat nearby, causing them to flee in panic!"

Sheyan quickly called out to the few on board.

"Quick, full speed towards the direction of those flying fishes!"

At this moment, the passengers abruptly felt a slight tremor throughout the submarine. Moreover, a rich baleful aura seemed to have condensed around the seawater, as the breeze seemed to carry the strong beckoning of a great beast.

All of a sudden, 600 metres away in the distant sea, a foul white column of water shot up to an exceedingly high altitude, before scattering in an expansive spread of furious mist.

Instantly after, the seawater begun churning intensely before the terrifying back of a sea beast emerged from the surface. Its scales revealed an illusory array of light violet and azure.

It looked like an alligator but the majority of its body was still hidden in the water. A pair of enormous eyes carried an insatiable chill as it stared in.

A pair of predatory eyes!

From its exposed body part, one could fathom that its size could only be larger than the previous fledgling Ichthyosaurus!

The Chief Mate trembled excessively as he stuttered.

"G-g-good lord, t-t-this…t-that\'s a Mosasaurus. We wouldn\'t encounter such monstrosities along our normal sea routes, and they usually hunt in the deep sea. Why are we repeatedly encountering such colossuses today?"

Sheyan commanded sullenly.

"Speed up and shrug it off!"

The Chief Mate cried out despondently.

"I\'m afraid it\'ll be too difficult, sir. The Mosasaurus is much stronger than an Ichthyosaur. It can accelerate to 80 knots in a flash and sustain for nearly half-hour! Only a warship wouldn\'t fear a raiding Mosasaurus."

"There\'s only one other alternative." That voice belonged to Zi. Her countenance was rather haggard but she still emitted a cuttingly imposing aura; like a falling blade that just massacred others.

"Since hiding is futile, we eliminate it!"

Sheyan insipidly replied.

"Indeed, perhaps only an Awakener can directly confront it. From current knowledge, the difference between an Awakener and a Growth-Hunter isn\'t that large. A Growth-Hunter resembles a supreme being with tremendous power but not knowing how to manipulate it. Whereas, an Awakener has gradually gained understanding, demonstrating his powerful to the fullest potential."

"Zi, you should be a pinnacle stage Growth-Hunter right. I believe we can take this monstrosity down……however, we haven\'t even set foot on Isla Nublar. If you waste away your strongest ace here, how will we face future mishaps?"

Zi callously responded.

"Then what else can we do? Even if we can drag on against this Mosasaurus, we will, sooner or later, be attacked by a flock of crazy Pterodactyls!"

Sheyan took a deep breath and turned to the Chief Mate.

"Cut the engine, halt the submarine!"

The Chief Mate gaped in shock but Brother Black immediately aimed across. Thus, he could only offer a bleak smile and scrambled into the submarine.

Before the submarine halted, Sheyan was already striding, with a solemn expression, down a ramp towards the sea surface.

Meanwhile, the Mosasaurus was already speeding in with breakneck pace!

In this instant, Sheyan pulled out \'Ambition\' and soaked it into the water.

Suddenly, a hegemonic aura swept out indescribably into the vast ocean!

A strange ripple descended over the water as hundreds of cubic metres of water rippled strangely.

An incomparably titanic octopus image formed that was imitated to perfection. The octopus leisurely stretched its thick tentacles, causing the seawater to undulate gently.

Upon witnessing this image in the water, a palpable fear welled up unknowingly in Zi\'s heart, drilling deep into her soul!

"Could this be the domineering might of a Tier-9 legendary creature?" Zi murmured to herself.

At this moment, the Mosasaurus gradually slowed down. It too could sense the immense crushing pressure from Paul\'s image, even though it had never seen this terrifying colossus before.

Both parties paused for several minutes. Eventually, the Mosasaurus chose to leave, putting its massive muscles to good use as it swarm away with frightening pace.

Sheyan then calmly climbed back up the submarine. Zi was about to question him over why he didn\'t produce this wondrous killing ace earlier. Instead, he noticed sparkling water beads along Sheyan\'s forehead. She didn\'t know if that was perspiration or seawater, only, Sheyan looked exceedingly fatigued.

Knowing what Zi wanted to ask, Sheyan smiled bitterly.

"That\'s the aura of Kraken Paul, undisputed without equal in the Caribbean Sea World. However, producing it in this world may bring about two extremes. The first, scaring other creatures away. On the contrary, in this world, there is a possibility the other monstrosity will turn competitively aggressive and ruthlessly attack without wavering!"
