#377 - Big Event: Wild Alliance (10) Top Predator

Afterward, Starro explained everything to Yang Le and Wonder Woman.

As a predator, he possesses the ability to sense life forms, which is his instinct. Moreover, combined with his telepathic abilities, he can pinpoint specific races, like a targeted search on the internet.

"I understand," Wonder Woman said with sudden realization. "So, you consumed the Starro variant to fully understand it, making it easier for you to track it down."

Starro crossed two of its tentacles, resembling a human folding their arms. The up-and-down movement of its body likely indicated a nod, showing agreement with Wonder Woman's words.

'That's right. So now, I've become a precise locking system. No variant can escape my sight.'

Yang Le smiled after hearing the voice in his head and said, "In that case, we can coordinate an attack."

Starro understood Yang Le's intention the moment he finished speaking. Telepathy is that useful. It swayed its body and said,

'Indeed, we can try it as you suggest.'

After Starro finished speaking, it jumped onto Yang Le's shoulder, and Yang Le, carrying Starro, flew into the sky.

"Honestly, I thought you would directly control me," Yang Le joked.

Starro rolled its eyes at Yang Le, saying, 'I'm too weak right now. I can't even enlarge myself or create clones. If I tried to control you, I'd probably end up like that red starfish.'

Seeing this, Yang Le stopped talking. Once they reached a suitable height, he raised his right hand and began to gather energy. Cyan electricity gathered in his palm, and even dark clouds began to appear in the sky.

Diana's eyes widened at this sight. Yang Le at this moment reminded her of someone, her father, the King of the Gods, Zeus.

This wasn't just Diana being overly sensitive. There were many metahumans who used lightning, but they mostly used ordinary lightning or magical lightning. These things wouldn't even warrant a second glance from Diana.

But Yang Le was using divine lightning. This wasn't something anyone could wield. Even she couldn't use it without the God-King's approval, yet Yang Le could use it freely. Although the aura was slightly different, it was indeed divine lightning.

At the same time, as Yang Le continued to gather energy, his divine status representing war also began to manifest. Ordinary people might not feel it, but for Diana, a demigod, it was as obvious as a beam of light in the darkness.

"Give me the target."

Because of the thunder, Yang Le had to speak loudly. Starro on his shoulder was speechless.

'You know you can just talk to me in your mind, right?'

While complaining about Yang Le, Starro marked all the real-time locations of the variants in Midway City in his brain.

Ignoring Starro's complaints, Yang Le swung his raised right hand the moment he received the information, and thunder roared from the sky as it fell.

Countless lightning snakes struck from the air, each one accurately hitting the Orcs. All the Orcs in Midway City were attacked at the same time, including Hawkman, who had been knocked unconscious by Wonder Woman. Yang Le had forgotten about him, but now they were dealt with together.

After the divine lightning traveled through the Orcs' bodies, the Starro variants couldn't withstand the torment and crawled out, but they were greeted not by safe ground but by a second wave of divine lightning.

Of course, Yang Le wouldn't just force the Starro variants out and then ignore them. That would only allow them to choose new hosts. Precise finishing blows were the key.

With the cooperation of Yang Le and Starro, all the Orcs in the city were eliminated in less than a minute, and the Starro variants, the culprits, were all turned into fragrant cosmic grilled starfish.

Because they were eliminated so quickly, some of the fleeing masses hadn't even reacted. Some people ran far away before realizing the Orcs were gone.

Yang Le landed slowly, and Starro left his shoulder, floating to one side on its own.

'Since everything is resolved, I won't bother you. I'm leaving.'

After speaking, Starro was about to turn and leave, looking like a student rushing to catch a bus.

"Snap."

Yang Le reached out and grabbed Starro, who was trying to leave, and said to the panicked creature, "No, you can't leave. There are several other cities with Starro variants waiting for you to solve."

'Don't push your luck, you inferior life form.' Starro desperately twisted its soft body, but no matter what, it couldn't escape from Yang Le's iron claws.

'I've already solved a city's problem for you, which is more than enough. What I do next has nothing to do with you!'

Yang Le looked at the twisting and crawling Starro and said playfully, "I have a feeling you're plotting something. Are you trying to take all the Starro variants in the city for yourself?"

Starro's twisting body paused for a moment, but it quickly returned to its original state.

'Why would I do that? I just want to find a place to rest and recuperate.'

"Stop with your petty thoughts, Starro," Wonder Woman stepped forward, her battle-worn appearance making her even more graceful. "You must want to eat all the Starro variants and quickly restore your strength, right?"

Athena's wisdom made Wonder Woman's words hit the nail on the head. Seeing that pretending was useless, Starro had no choice but to accept its fate.

'That thing is useless to you. What's wrong with me using it to fill my stomach? I promise that even if I regain my strength, I won't cause trouble for Earth again, okay?'

Faced with Starro's request, Wonder Woman simply shook her head and said, "I'm not Superman. Being gentle with enemies is being cruel to ourselves."

Hearing Wonder Woman's words, Starro could only let out a shriek, then began to bombard Yang Le's and Diana's brains with all its might. This was the only attack it could currently muster.

"Hold this for me," Yang Le seemed to suddenly think of something, handed Starro to Wonder Woman, and pressed the Omnitrix again.

After a blinding flash of white light, the tall and handsome Asgardian disappeared without a trace, replaced by a green creature with a pair of large black eyes, resembling a frog, only reaching Wonder Woman's thigh in height.

"Upchuck," Yang Le patted his stomach and shouted his current name loudly.

Seeing Wonder Woman not react to the transformation into Upchuck, Starro, held in her hand, began to tremble. The speed of its trembling was almost catching up with a motor.

This was because Starro, the conqueror and predator, could feel something more directly than other life forms.

That was the aura of a top predator.
