Cthulhu: I Created the Monster Sequence

A new monster had emerged.

Zhang Jinsong stared at Chen Ye, his mind racing. The opponent's abilities were utterly bizarre—neither the silken threads nor the invisible entities flanking him had been mentioned in any intelligence reports.

The Nine-Tails soldiers aimed their rifles at Chen Ye, only to see his fingers twitch. Silver threads flashed, slicing through every weapon in their hands. In the blink of an eye, the guns split into halves.

This…

Cold sweat dripped down Zhang Jinsong's forehead. If those threads had targeted their bodies instead of their weapons… He didn't dare imagine the carnage.

Chen Ye spread his hands calmly. "Gentlemen, remain calm. I have no intention of taking your lives or opposing the organization."

"I'm a law-abiding citizen and meant no interference with your duties. But this woman"—he gestured to the Queen Bee behind him—"is my test subject. If your target is her, I regret to inform you she must continue her research with me. She won't be leaving today."

The Queen Bee gazed at his back, heart fluttering. Ah~ Lord Oss actually came to save me himself. What an honor! But pride soon gave way to shame. To force Lord Oss to rescue me… How useless am I? He must be so disappointed…

With the power he bestowed, I've only caused trouble, requiring his intervention again and again. What a failure I am. She clenched her fists. That fish and bird went off to improve themselves. Maybe I should do the same…

Unaware of her inner turmoil, Chen Ye sighed inwardly. These idiots really stirred up trouble this time, attracting national-level forces. After this, I'll have to round them up for re-education.

Is it too much to ask for a quiet path to godhood?

Zhang Jinsong's eyes remained locked on Chen Ye's white mask. "Let them go."

The soldiers froze, but orders were absolute. History would prove Zhang's decision wise—Chen Ye had infiltrated undetected and disarmed them instantly. Those threads alone posed a lethal threat. Had he been as bloodthirsty as the mermaid, they'd already be corpses.

"Your choice was correct," Chen Ye remarked, hoisting the Queen Bee over his shoulder. "The holiday approaches. Go home to your families—they matter more than work, no?" With that, he kicked through the building's glass window and leaped down.

Zhang Jinsong stiffened. A warning… No, a blatant threat. 'Harm us again, and your loved ones pay the price.'

"Containment failed. Nine-Tails Unit 01 requesting retreat!"

Later, at headquarters, Zhang submitted his report:

SRW-006—Spider

Capabilities: Manipulates razor-sharp silver threads (cuts metal effortlessly, reaction window <0.1s), controls invisible entities (numbers/distance unknown). Human-level intelligence, uses familial safety as leverage. Wears white mask, alias "Oss Katt." Claims 004 is his "test subject" (significance unclear).

Threat Assessment: RS (Extreme Hazard)

Disposition: Neutral (Provisional)

Atop a skyscraper, Chen Ye stood with his back to the trembling Queen Bee. "This is your last chance, 004."

She collapsed to her knees. "N-no! I'll never fail again! Please!"

He didn't turn. "One more mistake, and you'll answer for it."

Gasping in relief, she bowed. "Th-thank you, my lord…"

Chen Ye tossed her a vial. "Drink this."

The Queen Bee stared at the shimmering liquid—her next trial had begun.
