Versatile Mage: Lord of Space

The completely submerged neighborhood was almost deserted, shrouded in sea fog, a vast expanse of white. The deep waters teemed with sea monsters; though no commanders were in sight, warriors were everywhere.

Lin Lan could see the sea fog clearly, and there seemed to be a group of people standing on the exposed rooftop a hundred meters ahead.

"Holy crap, I thought it was a person, and the chattering sounded like an African language."

These disguised sea monsters had a very human-like outline, covered in scales, and had shark bone blades at almost every joint. Lin Lan discovered their appearance by carefully examining them with his mental power.

Even from a great distance, you could hear some deep sounds coming from their mouths.

These ferocious shark demons are trying to fish here... no, they're a group of sharks, and Lin Lan is the only one in this area.

The Shark Demon is considered one of the most ferocious races among sea monsters. It is also very strong, with a row of extremely sharp teeth in its mouth, which is full of blood, much more terrifying than bleeding gums.

The white mist obscured their view, and they did not find Lin Lan.

"Thunder, descending from the sky!"

"Heavenly Punishment - Silent Thunder Death Ray - Thunder Punishment".

Lin Lan was too lazy to care what they were doing, so she decided to give them a taste of divine punishment.

Constellations rapidly appeared around Lin Lan, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and lightning magic surged wildly around him, as if resonating with the thunder in the world.

"Boom--!"

Dark clouds gathered instantly, and the originally white sea fog was torn apart by the violent lightning elements. A thick golden lightning pillar descended from the sky, like a spear of divine punishment, piercing straight into the rooftop where the group of ferocious shark demons were located.

"Roar~~~~~~~~!"

Sensing the approaching death, the Shark Demons realized the danger, but it was too late.

The moment the golden lightning exploded, the blinding electric light illuminated the entire area as if it were daytime.

The few ferocious shark demons in the very center didn't even have time to scream before they were struck by lightning and reduced to ashes, leaving not even a trace of bone.

The ferocious shark demons on the outer perimeter were also affected by the aftershocks of the lightning punishment. Their scales were charred black, their shark bone knives at their joints shattered, and blood gushed out. They let out shrill roars, twisting their bodies frantically, trying to jump into the sea and escape this death zone.

"Run? Do you think you can escape?" Lin Lan sneered.

In an instant, the second Thunderclap Death Ray, like a raging dragon, cleaved down from the clouds, precisely striking each of the ferocious shark demons that tried to escape.

Lightning raged, the sea fog was completely evaporated, and the entire neighborhood trembled under the onslaught of the thunder.

A few seconds later, the lightning dissipated, and the sea fog gathered again. Where the ferocious shark demon had stood, only a charred ruin remained. Lightning is contagious in water, and countless sea monsters in the ocean were electrocuted and burned to a crisp.

Lin Lan withdrew his hand, glanced around indifferently, and after confirming that no one had escaped, turned to leave. However, the instant he turned, a gaze locked onto him from underwater.

"Click! Click! Click! Click!"

Lin Lan floats in the air, his feet treading on the void, thanks to his understanding of space—this is the power of a Dou Zong expert!
At that moment, a low, snapping sound of teeth came from underwater. Immediately afterward, a massive black shadow broke through the surface, creating towering waves, and opened its blood-red maw—large enough to swallow Lin Lan whole. The speed was too fast; even the One Thought Star Chart couldn't defend against such an attack.

"Void!"

Lin Lan subconsciously activated his etherealization ability. To be honest, etherealization had become a passive defense; without super-level strength, no one could even touch a hair on Lin Lan's head.

The ferocious shark demon leader, having missed its target, was dumbfounded on the surface of the water.

It doesn't know how many opponents it has swallowed with this move, but now Lin Lan is acting as if she never appeared.

But its people were all dead, and when it looked at them, the ferocious shark demon king's teeth chattered with rage.

"Your father is here."

Lin Lan appeared among the corpses of the dead sharks, stepped on the head of one of the dead sharks, and called out to the Shark Demon King.

This was a ferocious shark demon, far exceeding the size of a warrior general. Its entire body was covered in dark gold scales, and the shark bone blades at its joints were long and thick. Its pair of scarlet eyes were fixed on Lin Lan.

"Commander-level!" Lin Lan raised an eyebrow, his eyes flashing with fighting spirit. "Finally, someone decent has arrived. Your people were probably waiting for you, their leader, to hold a general meeting so they could raid the neighborhood and have a feast. But sorry, they've run into your grandpa."

After saying that, Lin Lan even raised her middle finger in a gesture of international goodwill. She didn't expect the shark-armed creature to understand or comprehend her words; her sarcasm and anger were palpable, enough to deter it from trying to escape.

As a pseudo-human species, the Shark Demon King could not speak human language, but he understood what Lin Lan was saying, and the gestures made him even angrier!
The ferocious shark demon leader roared, and the surrounding seawater instantly boiled, with countless water blades attacking Lin Lan from all directions.

"Etherealization".

Lin Lan disappeared again. The ferocious shark demon's scarlet eyes were almost spitting fire. Its blood-red maw, covered with serrated teeth, opened and closed repeatedly, making a furious "crackling" sound.

"That's it?" Lin Lan reappeared, hands in his pockets, pacing leisurely in mid-air. "Besides impotent rage, what else can your giant shark arm do?"

Before the words were even finished, the Shark Demon suddenly opened its massive jaws and unleashed a powerful, deep blue high-pressure water cannon!
The water cannon was incredibly fast, tearing the air apart with a sharp, explosive sound wherever it went.

Lin Lan didn't even lift his eyelids, letting the water cannon pierce through his body. In his ethereal state, which has evolved to the point where he can make himself appear but attack without any effect, he can even choose to ethereal parts of his body.

Lin Lan now swayed slightly, like a reflection in water, completely unharmed.

"Crack—!!!" The ferocious shark demon went completely berserk, frantically pounding the water and creating waves tens of meters high. Taking advantage of the water's momentum, its massive body nimbly leaped into the air, its giant tail, covered in bone spikes, sweeping across with a whooshing sound!

"Interesting." Lin Lan chuckled, and his figure suddenly vanished. In the instant his giant tail swept across, he appeared above the Savage Shark Demon's head, even deliberately stepping on its hard scales.

"You're too slow, Big Shark Arm."

The ferocious shark demon trembled with rage. It suddenly dived into the water, instantly creating a massive whirlpool on the surface. The next second, dozens of waterspouts shot into the sky, completely blocking Lin Lan's escape routes!
"That's more like it." A hint of excitement flashed in Lin Lan's eyes, but he remained in a blurred state. The water tornado passed through his body without even lifting a corner of his clothes.

The ferocious shark demon king had stopped using its magic, realizing that its attacks were ineffective against Lin Lan.

What kind of cheat is this? How do I beat it?
