The colossal crocodile, spanning a length of a hundred meters, had vanished into obscurity for over two weeks, only to resurface unexpectedly, capturing the attention once again.

While some might dismiss this as sheer nonsense, deeming the existence of such an immense reptile preposterous, Liu Yong remained resolute in his conviction that the monstrous creature was responsible for the tragic demise of Risheng Group's cargo ship.

If it could sink the freighter belonging to the Risheng Group, could it potentially target the vessels of the Global Shipping Group in the future? The probability was undeniably high.

Liu Yong firmly believed that all threats must be eradicated. Since this vast crocodile was the perpetrator behind the sinking of a massive cargo ship and the deaths of over thirty individuals, it had to pay the ultimate price—its own life.

As the days elapsed, the Overlord, as Liu Yong affectionately referred to the crocodile, grew in size and strength. Curiosity led Liu Yong to access the pet panel, where he discovered a wealth of information regarding the Overlord's attributes and weight. Overwhelmed with satisfaction, he noted that the Overlord weighed an impressive 421 tons, slightly larger than before.

Contemplating the idea, Liu Yong wondered if he should send the Overlord to confront the giant crocodile. However, if the Overlord had remained around 300 tons in weight, Liu Yong would have immediately dismissed the thought. It would have been futile even to consider it since a 300-ton Overlord stood no chance against the colossal 100-meter crocodile, lacking any opportunity for victory.

But now, the circumstances appeared different.

Setting aside the prospect of defeating the opponent, the Overlord was, at the very least, capable of self-preservation. If victory presented itself, it would embrace the battle.

Furthermore, such a rare opportunity could not be forsaken. Given the difficulty of obtaining news concerning this enormous crocodile, relinquishing this chance could mean an indefinite wait until another opportunity arose.

The time was ripe, and Liu Yong uttered, "Overlord, I have a task for you."

Upon hearing the mention of a mission, the Overlord immediately perked up, reinvigorated with energy. Lately, it had fallen into a monotonous eating routine and sleeping, resembling nothing more than a passive creature. A spark of enthusiasm kindled within the Overlord upon the mention of a task. "Master, what task shall I undertake? I am ready to commence immediately."

Briefly recounting the attack on a Risheng Ocean Group's 100,000-ton container ship, Liu Yong cautioned, "There exists a giant crocodile, 100 meters in length, and it may weigh around 1,000 tons. It surpasses your size, so exercise caution."

Confidently, the Overlord responded, "Understood. If we can overpower it, we shall engage in combat. If we are unable to triumph, we shall retreat and not suffer defeat."

Liu Yong issued a final warning, "Be vigilant, for it is likely still in that specific area of the sea."

Equipped with its colossal spear, the Overlord prepared to depart. The Risheng Ocean Group's attacked sea zone lay quite a distance away, requiring a continuous swim of over ten hours.

Before embarking on the journey, the Overlord, mindful of its sustenance, satiated its hunger. A prehistoric giant fish boasting a wide mouth resided within a nearby cavern, providing a convenient source of nourishment. The Overlord devoured a substantial meal, consuming at least 70 to 80 tons of food.

Replete with nourishment, the Overlord commenced its journey, the satiety causing a comforting warmth to permeate its body. Though initially drowsy, it swiftly shook off the lethargy and surged forward, brimming with vitality.

Covering a distance exceeding 2,000 nautical miles was undoubtedly a considerable endeavour. Yet, the Overlord traversed the vast expanse in a mere dozen hours, arriving at the intended sea zone.

Upon reaching its destination, the Overlord hoped the colossal crocodile remained close and had not ventured far.

Without pausing to rest, the Overlord initiated a thorough search across the world's waters, tirelessly scouring for the elusive 100-meter-long giant crocodile. And during this pursuit, the Overlord caught several sizable fish to replenish its reserves.

After scouring the sea area for two to three hours, the Overlord's endeavours yielded no sight of the immense crocodile. Undeterred, it refused to surrender, taking a brief respite before expanding the search radius.

Another couple of hours passed, and at long last, the Overlord discovered its quarry. In the distance, on the ocean's surface, lay the colossal 100-meter crocodile, basking lazily under the sun.

Stationed at a depth of tens of meters underwater, the Overlord maintained clear visibility of the distant giant crocodile. The colossal creature remained oblivious to the Overlord's presence.

Masterfully, the Overlord conveyed the news: "Master, I have laid eyes upon the 100-meter giant crocodile."

Receiving the Overlord's communication, Liu Yong swiftly activated his third-party vision, witnessing the Overlord's encounter and a giant crocodile quietly lounging on the water's surface.

This is a splendid opportunity!

Realizing the potential, Liu Yong remarked, "It remains unaware of your presence, providing a prime opportunity. Approach stealthily, deliver a swift strike, and swiftly retreat once accomplished."

The Overlord found the suggestion agreeable, reducing its speed and advancing noiselessly, ensuring minimal disturbance.

Gradually, the distance between the two formidable creatures diminished. Eventually, the Overlord found itself within 200 meters of its target.

This proximity sufficed, prompting the Overlord to halt any further approach, cautious not to risk detection.

Charge!

Before its adversary could react, the Overlord triggered its "sprint" skill, dashing toward the 100-meter giant crocodile with astounding velocity akin to a fleeting apparition.

The tip of the vast spear aimed at the colossal reptile.

Blink, and the 200-meter spear was already upon it. When the 100-meter giant crocodile perceived the imminent danger, evading proved insurmountable.

With a resounding "boom!" a dull thud reverberated.

The giant spear forcefully collided with the colossal crocodile's body, emitting a deep sound.

Propelled by its velocity and augmented by its mass, the colossal spear managed to pierce through the remarkably resilient crocodile hide, penetrating to a depth of two meters before becoming lodged, incapable of progressing further.

Although the adversary had not succumbed to a single blow, the colossal crocodile writhed in agony, sustaining substantial injuries.

Reacting swiftly, the 100-meter giant crocodile unleashed its fury, its massive jaws gaping wide, intending to trap the Overlord within its powerful grip.

This scene mirrored the Overlord's previous encounter with a 70-meter giant crocodile, during which it narrowly escaped the clutches of the beast, its tortoiseshell almost crushed under the crushing force of the predator's bite.

But this was a 100-meter giant crocodile, potentially possessing a bite force exceeding its predecessor's. Even with the Overlord's current weight surpassing 400 tons, avoiding injury proved uncertain.

Having learned from its prior experience, the Overlord anticipated the impending bite and swiftly ran out of harm's way, unable to retrieve the embedded giant spear in Tim.

The Overlord's superior swiftness emerged as a valuable asset. Consequently, the enormous jaws of the 100-meter giant crocodile missed their mark, failing to capture the Overlord.

Having retreated several hundred meters, the Overlord eventually ceased its evasion, gazing intently at the colossal adversary.

The entire sequence of events had unfolded in a breathtaking spectacle. Witnessing it all, Liu Yong realized the Overlord remained utterly outmatched against its opponent.

Though the Overlord had successfully executed a surprise attack, the chances of emerging victorious from a confrontation were virtually nonexistent.

The Overlord needed to grow even more prominent, requiring a weight of at least five to six hundred tons to stand a reasonable chance of success.

Liu Yong comprehended this essential reality and commanded: "Overlord, let's acknowledge our limitations for now. Dodge the confrontation and return to challenge it another time."

Reluctantly, the Overlord voiced its concern, "But, my weapon remains embedded within the adversary."

Liu Yong reassured, "Fear not, I shall forge you a new weapon."

The current giant spear possessed a diameter of 500 mm, measuring 50 meters in length and weighing approximately 78 tons. Crafted when the Overlord weighed a mere 100 tons, it no longer proved adequate. With the Overlord's weight now exceeding 500 tons and slated to grow further in the coming days, a more powerful weapon became necessary.
