Chapter 71 - Unexpected Dragon

"Roar!!!"

The roar echoed like that of an ancient behemoth, sending powerful waves of air crashing through the church's glass windows. Shattered glass rained down, creating a cacophony of tinkling sounds as it hit the ground.

"Wow, baby, how come you regenerate like your mother? You really deserve to be her son," Deadpool taunted, lying on the ground. He watched as the poisonous night's neck began to heal, feeling the sting of his previous attacks.

Duye, the monstrous entity, was experiencing humiliation like never before. Deadpool's Yellow Storm Poison Cannon, initially intended to be a weapon of significant damage, now seemed merely a nuisance to Duye.

"Damn it! Damn it! I'm going to rip your mouth apart! Die already!" Duye roared in fury, swinging his arms like black whips. Enormous black thorns cascaded down like a majestic mountain.

Boom!

The impact created a deafening explosion as the church's surface was blasted open, with cobweb-like cracks spreading outwards.

"Two, two, seven…" Deadpool groaned in agony, blood pooling around him. His bones felt shattered, skin ripped open, and he was rendered immobile.

"Dead? Why aren't you talking anymore? What happened to the mighty mercenary?" Duye sneered, his intelligence significantly reduced by the monstrous transformation. Despite his extensive knowledge of civilizations, his IQ hadn't improved.

Kaneki Ken, sensing an opportunity, launched himself with incredible speed, his long red tail trailing behind him like a comet.

Bang!

Before Duye could utter another word, a flash of red light erupted. A violent pain surged from Duye's abdomen to his neck, as black substance spilled out in torrents.

The black fluid poured onto the floor, squirming ominously.

"Hey, I'm joining in too!" Deadpool shouted, now back on his feet. He charged at Duye, the light of his blade slicing through the night. His high-speed slash created air pressure, and sparks flew as he cut into Duye's formidable black shell.

Meanwhile, Kaneki Ken's appearance had dramatically changed. His right eye glowed with an evil light, and two Kazus appeared behind him. His dark red scales transformed into a hammer, which he drove forcefully into Duye's body.

The once-hideous form of Duye appeared to be dissected as Kaneki Ken's attacks caused severe damage, creating a massive gash from the abdomen to the neck.

Peter Parker, witnessing the scene, was stunned. The Kaneki Ken before him was vastly different from the weak figure he had imagined. This was no mere Jin Muyan; it was something far more powerful.

Furious, Duye lashed out with his tongue, targeting Kaneki Ken, while his feet extended black tentacles toward Deadpool.

Kaneki Ken leapt into the air, and his six Linhes scattered, clashing with Duye's tongue in mid-air.

Boom!

A thin ring of air exploded at the point of impact. Kaneki Ken was sent hurtling backward, and Duye was propelled through the church wall and onto the streets outside.

"Kaneki Ken!" Peter exclaimed, watching as Kaneki Ken, now battered and bloodied, struggled to get up. Peter quickly draped a cold coat over him and helped him stand.

"Call… call…" Kaneki Ken gasped, his fierce eyes glowing as he looked at Peter, his face pale and his breathing ragged.

Peter felt uneasy under Kaneki Ken's intense gaze. "Uh, Kaneki, are you okay?"

Kaneki Ken, having reverted to his more primal, aggressive state, grabbed Peter's shoulder with a vice-like grip. The intense pressure made Peter feel as though his throat might be crushed.

Peter, lacking his spider silk, was left helpless and feared for his life. It seemed he might be the next target if Kaneki Ken's instincts took over completely.

Suddenly, a massive shadow loomed overhead. Three beans fell from the sky with a "click," landing softly on the ground, which slightly trembled.

Kaneki Ken's nose twitched, sensing something delicious. He snatched the beans and swallowed them eagerly, his face flushing as if savoring a delightful treat.

Peter was baffled. Why would Kaneki Ken be interested in beans? Was he truly cannibalistic, or was there something special about these beans?

Before Peter could ponder further, the sound of "buzzing" air grew louder in the distance. Peter's spider sense tingled, causing cold sweat to bead on his forehead.

A thunderous roar filled the air.

"Hold on!!!"

A dragon's roar reverberated through the streets, shattering the sky and shaking the ground. Peter's eyes widened in terror as he realized the magnitude of the threat they now faced.
