"Boom!"
Five layers of lightning attribute with an additional 40% damage, an extra 14% damage from the devouring abyss, and Wu Shou's spiritual descent adds 10% damage. After all these damage bonuses are stacked, Thunder Slash will then multiply by 1.3 again.
Under multiple layers of blessings, the entire body of water seemed to freeze. Then, a series of long, thin cracks suddenly appeared in the water, as if torn apart by an invisible force. Through these cracks, electricity surged like wild pythons, then emitted a dazzling blue-white light.
The lightning quickly spread throughout the entire body of water.
After the first Magikarp Derivatives came into contact with this lightning slash, all its scales exploded in an instant, and its body twitched wildly. The surrounding Magikarp Derivatives subsequently suffered the same fate; their fins twitched uncontrollably, and their bodies stiffened.
When the current disappeared, these Magikarp Derivatives all floated belly-up to the surface.
[Killed Magikarp Derivatives X163]
[Congratulations, Hunter, you have achieved "Nuclear Strike."]
[Conditions met: Defeat a hundred creatures with one blow.]
[Reward obtained: Title · envoy of nuclear peace]
As the lightning faded, most of the Magikarp Derivatives in the water were cleared by this one strike. The remaining two Red-Eyed Treasure Carps were also weakened by the electricity, looking dazed.
The power of this strike was indeed terrifying. Not only did it clear the area directly, but it also inexplicably completed an achievement quest and dropped a title.

---This title was not of much use to Qin Jie at the moment, as dealing such excessive damage this time was purely luck. But regardless, having it was better than not having it.
After equipping it, Qin Jie immediately moved towards the inside of the Magikarp.
The remaining two Red-Eyed Treasure Carps still attempted to block Qin Jie, but when Qin Jie approached the Magikarp, these two Red-Eyed Treasure Carps instantly retreated. It seemed the Magikarp had a natural suppressive effect on them.
The Magikarp was still in a deep sleep. The recent electric current might have been fatal to the Magikarp Derivatives, but for it, it was probably just a tingling sensation, so it wasn't startled awake.
The Magikarp's mouth contained sharp, large, and multi-layered teeth. The outermost layer, closer to the oral cavity, was the largest, while the inner layers were more slender.
This design allowed prey in the Fish King's mouth to be utterly destroyed with a single bite.
Just like the Iron Maiden, a medieval European torture device.
Qin Jie quietly swam into the Fish King's mouth. He was like someone walking in a place full of bone spurs. Above him was a woman's face with closed eyes, which was Calamity A's last piece of Soul.
To extract this Soul, Qin Jie had to kill the Magikarp, which would release Calamity A's imprisoned Soul.
Inside the Fish King, it was dark and reeked of decay. There was no light source, and in the darkness, the sticky, sliding sounds of internal organs wriggling, and the sucking sounds of the butcher's coat's feeding mouths could be heard.
If one were mentally weak, merely listening to these sounds would probably scare them to death.
With his feet on the fleshy wall, Qin Jie cocked his ear, listening to these sounds. Among them, he accurately distinguished the sound of a beating heart.
As the exploration deepened, mucus began to fall from above. This was the Fish King's digestive fluid. A drop of digestive fluid fell onto Qin Jie's shield, and in a short while, the shield value plummeted, dropping by 13% in just one second.
Qin Jie put on the hood of his butcher's coat, then canceled his shield. Immediately, the Fish King's digestive fluid dripped onto him. The next moment, the zipper on the surface of the butcher's coat suddenly opened, indicating that its sucking mouths had begun to feed.
The Fish King's body fluids were quite attractive to the sucking mouths. After all, it was an Overlord-level creature, and everything about its body was valuable.
Qin Jie's purpose in infiltrating the Fish King's body was to attack its heart.
His devouring abyss could kill the vitality of creatures like the Fish King, which possessed characteristics of abyssal derivatives. This meant that as long as Qin Jie destroyed the heart, even the Fish King would have no chance of recovery.
The anti-corrosion effect of the butcher's coat was indeed powerful. The Fish King's body fluid, which could corrode his shield in a dozen seconds, now only served as nourishment for the sucking mouths.
At this rate, Qin Jie should soon reach the Fish King's heart and then kill it.
Of course, this was assuming everything went smoothly.
"I hear it, the sound of that woman's prayer."
A female voice rang out, and Qin Jie's body stiffened. He was very familiar with this voice.
It was the wishing statue.
Qin Jie grabbed the statue and threatened in a low voice, "Don't cause trouble here."
Unusually, the statue replied to Qin Jie for the first time.
"If you want to reach your desired destination smoothly, then pray to me."
"I can guide you."
"Of course, there will be a price."
Qin Jie asked, "What's the price?"
"Fulfill the wishes of others, no matter who they are. As long as they wish upon you, you must satisfy them. How about it?"
Clearly, this statue of unknown origin was a master of kicking someone when they were down.
This couldn't help but make Qin Jie think of the Violator who possessed the statue. If he wasn't mistaken, the reason that person became a Violator was very likely due to this statue.
He had no intention of agreeing to the other party, only wanting to feign compliance. After all, dealing with an entity of unknown origin was a very dangerous thing.
"Stall for now."
"Wish upon me? What constitutes a wish?"
"Many kinds: pleading, demanding, imploring."
"If a beggar on the street pleads with you for tomorrow's meal, you must agree."
"If a critically ill patient implores for health, you must also agree."
"If your friend asks you to help buy breakfast, you must also agree."
So, he was supposed to be a wishing machine.
Qin Jie raised an eyebrow. "If I cannot fulfill these requests, what will be the consequences?"
"You will die. The status of my true form far surpasses yours. Even as just a statue, I can curse you to death."
"Really? How will you curse me to death?" Qin Jie asked, feigning a bit of fear.
He was immune to 90% of instant death effects. He wanted to probe the details first. If this curse was an instant death type, he might actually be able to gain something.
He was only afraid that the curse would deal damage to Qin Jie, and the damage would be so high that it would kill him instantly.
"All who fail to uphold the agreement shall die a violent death from the power of the curse. No matter how strong, no one can survive in the face of the curse."
Hearing this, Qin Jie felt relieved. It seemed to be an instant death effect.
"Alright, I've said all I needed to say. How have you considered my proposal?"
[You are negotiating with the wishing statue.]
[The wishing statue is a product of the Consciousness-Only Realm , a Tier 4 native world.]
[A total of 93 individuals have negotiated with the wishing statue, of whom 14 were subsequently judged as Violators.]
[Hunter, please negotiate with caution.]
