Survival on the Internet: A Bizarre Start at Sea

The giant claw tore through the sky, slamming down with an overwhelming force capable of annihilating everything, and a terrifying shadow completely enveloped Su Zhisu.

The space of Atlantis twisted under Dagon's massive claws, emitting a screeching sound as it struggled under the strain.

At this critical moment—

"Get out of here!"

A piercing scream filled with boundless rage exploded deep within everyone's soul!

At the edge of the altar, Cthulhu—in her green-haired loli form—had replaced her smile with a chilling rage.

In the depths of her green pupils, it seemed as if countless stars were being distorted and annihilated.

She didn't look up to see Su Zhixu's condition, but instead swung the [Destiny Wooden Horse] that she had just taken back.

The blade didn't pierce the giant claw, but instead went straight into her own palm!

"laugh--!"

A verdant mist, seemingly formed from countless shattered dream fragments, mixed with an indescribable, fourth-tier essential power, surged forth from the wound.

The moment the [Destiny Trojan Horse] turned to ashes, the light mist expanded, transforming into a gigantic tentacle that stretched across the heavens and earth.

The tentacles were covered with suckers that opened and closed constantly, and kept talking. Each sucker was like an independent, malicious eye.

As the illusory image of the tentacles gradually solidified, the surrounding space froze, and the flow of time seemed to become viscous at this moment.

In the next instant, the dream tentacle, imbued with the fury of Cthulhu, struck first, with the force to crush everything, and fiercely lashed at the giant claw covered in scales and tumors that had protruded into the crevice!

"boom--!!!"

Two forces far beyond the comprehension of ordinary people collided violently.

There was no sound, only a visible shockwave of energy, a mixture of eerie green and dark reddish-purple, suddenly spreading out in a ring!

Wherever the shockwave passed, the various shapes of Atlantis's glass-like buildings shattered like fragile glass.

The light from the shockwave flickered wildly, and the entire Atlantis trembled violently, as if it were about to disintegrate at any moment.

However, Cthulhu's furious attack was ultimately a fraction too late.

Just before Dagon's giant claws were struck by the dream tentacles, the terrifying power contained within their tips had already disrupted the energy balance of the moonlight pillar.

"Buzz—!"

Su Zhisu felt the "string" connecting him to the moonlight snap suddenly!

The immense moonlight instantly went out of control and backfired, forcibly kicking him out of the mysterious "pseudo-fourth-tier" state!

[Network Notice]: The Ritual of the Sea Moon has been interrupted due to strong interference!

[Warning]: You are suffering a severe energy backlash!

The cold moonlight, now without guidance, surged wildly within him like a flood bursting its banks.

A sharp pain struck, and Su Zhisu felt as if her body and soul were about to be torn apart by this pure and boundless energy.

[Health Points]: 1%/100%

The scimitar facing the storm saved his life again.

But the impact of the Moon's Blossom had not stopped, and the last 1% of health was still decreasing!

Just as his consciousness was about to be overwhelmed by endless pain and backlash, a cold, detached notification from the internet rang out deep within his mind, like a lifeline:

[Network Notice]: You have withstood the baptism of the 'Pale Moon' and have undergone a transformation. Gained skill: [Moon Avatar lv.MAX].

【Moon Incarnation lv.MAX】：

[Moonlight Pool]: Passive effect: You gain the ability to utilize [Moonlight] and acquire [Moonlight]. The maximum Moonlight gain is related to your Spirit attribute (1 point of maximum Moonlight gain is provided for every 5 points of Spirit attribute). While under moonlight, 1 point of Moonlight is automatically restored every 30 minutes.

【Moon Giant】: Active skill: Consume all current Moon Essence to transform into the Moon Giant, with a base duration of 5 seconds. For every additional 3 Moon Essence consumed, the transformation duration is extended by 1 second (during the additional transformation, you must withstand one mental shock per second, with a resistance difficulty of 70).

In the Moon Giant form, the Moon Giant gains a pseudo-fourth-tier rank and a temporary domain of authority: "Moon". Note: For every 1000 Moon Essence consumed, the Moon Giant's base rank will increase by 1. (Calculation is linearly increasing, coefficient k=10)

The skill has a 24-hour cooldown. For every additional second the incarnation duration is extended, the total cooldown time increases by 12 hours. After the incarnation ends, all attributes are temporarily reduced by 50% for 6 hours.

Each time you transform into the [Moon Giant], you permanently gain 1 point of Moon Affinity.

This hint was like a lightning bolt cleaving through the darkness!

Without any hesitation, the instinct for survival and the assessment of the perilous situation led Su Zhisu to make the only correct choice.

"Moon Giant, open!"

He roared inwardly, no longer trying to suppress the raging moonlight within him. Instead, he deliberately released all restrictions, using the newly comprehended [Avatar of the Moon] as the core, frantically absorbing the vast moonlight that had gone out of control due to the interruption of the ritual!

"Boom—!"

Su Zhixu's body transformed into a bottomless pit at this moment, and the huge pillar of moonlight that was about to collapse above the Sea Moon Altar was forcibly drawn in and devoured by him!

This far exceeds the [Moon Essence] energy required to normally activate [Moon Giant Spirit]; it is a forced overload using the residual power of the ritual!

[Network Notice]: Moon Essence Absorption... Calculating... Basic Avatar 5 seconds... Additional Moon Essence Consumption Conversion... Total Avatar Duration: 60 seconds!

[WARNING]: You will suffer 55 mental shocks during the extra incarnation period!

[WARNING]: Overloaded! Penalties will intensify after the transformation ends!

Su Zhisu could no longer care about anything else; his body instantly expanded and reshaped in the endless moonlight!

A giant, tens of meters tall and formed entirely from pure moonlight, rose from the ground!

The giant's face was indistinct, except for two cold, eerie blue flames burning where its eyes were—this was not moonlight, but rather the manifestation of Su Zhisu's Night Watch Heart Flame on the Moon Giant.

The flowing white mist, like a light veil, swirled around its body, draping the giant in an ethereal veil. It exuded a chilling majesty and coldness, as if it were a messenger of the moon god from ancient mythology—this was the Giant of the Moon!

The moment the transformation was complete, Dagon's giant claw, which had been slightly momentarily stunned by Cthulhu's dream tentacles but still slammed down with residual power, arrived just in time!

"Thump—!!!"

The Moon Giant raised its arm, formed from moonlight, and forcefully blocked the terrifying, mountain-like claw!

The deafening impact transformed into tangible sound waves, forcefully pushing aside the azure waters of Atlantis and creating a brief vacuum!

Su Zhisu's Moon Giant Spirit body shook violently, and the moonlight on his body rippled and became thinner, but he still managed to block the fatal blow!

However, the Ritual of the Moon was completely interrupted as this last bit of power was drained away, the light of the altar dimmed completely, and the pale moon shadow above it quickly faded and disappeared.

Meanwhile, the coming of R'lyeh came to an abrupt halt due to the interruption of the ritual.
