"Carbonate Bomb"3dShareDairy Milk monster recalled the terrifying legends of King circulating online—how every monster who dared anger him had met a fate of complete and utter annihilation.
Overwhelmed by sheer dread, she collapsed to her knees, trembling, her pale skin exposed in the process.
"King-sama… please… please spare my life…"
Her voice quivered, and the straw-like appendage on her head dripped purple liquid in fear, pooling into a small puddle on the ground.
Kaito, hands casually tucked into his pockets, gazed down at the shivering beauty before him.
It had to be said—Dairy Milk was undeniably stunning.
Her waist was so slim it could be held in a single hand. The tight, violet dress clung to her full chest, and her graceful neck drew elegant lines that added to her allure. On top of that, her widow status gave her an extra air of pitiable charm.
Catching Kaito's gaze, Dairy Milk subtly tugged down her collar, exposing her smooth, delicate shoulders and a tantalizing glimpse of cleavage.
Raising her finely shaped, melon-seed face, her large purple eyes welled with tears as she bit her lower lip.
"I… I am willing to serve King-sama… to be your lifelong servant…"
As she spoke, she cast a sultry glance his way, her slender fingers tracing suggestively along her milky thighs.
"Oh~"
Kaito let out a knowing hum, the corners of his mouth curling into a playful smile.
Dairy Milk's heart leapt—she believed her seduction was working.
Leaning forward slightly, her neckline dipped even lower, revealing an even deeper valley of temptation.
Her voice grew even sweeter.
"As long as King-sama desires… I can do anything…"
But she failed to notice two critical things.
First: while she was flaunting herself, Kaito's left hand remained tucked in his pocket—quietly pressing the activation button on the mechanical box's handle.
Second: the venomous malice she thought she had so cleverly hidden behind her eyes… had already been seen through.
Deep within those lovely violet irises, Kaito had caught a flicker of raw, bone-deep hatred.
"What a pity…" Kaito suddenly sighed.
Before Dairy Milk could even process the words, a sudden chill swept across the back of her neck.
The next moment, her vision tilted sideways—and she saw her own headless body slowly collapsing to the ground.
Her head had been bitten clean off by the mechanical dog that had silently ambushed her from behind.
"Gurgle..."
Dairy Milk's severed head rolled to Kaito's feet. Her wide, amethyst eyes were frozen in disbelief.
Her lips parted slightly, as if struggling to say something—but only a few faint "gurgling" sounds emerged before everything faded.
Kaito looked on impassively.
He had never intended to spare Dairy Milk from the start.
Yes, she was beautiful. Very much his type, in fact. But she was not the same as Mosquito Girl. That one had no deep-rooted enmity with him, and once subdued, could be loyal.
Dairy Milk, on the other hand, was different.
The hatred from losing a husband might be reconciled.
But the hatred from losing a child?
Even if she claimed to let it go, Kaito would never believe her.
Beauty might be enticing—but life? You only get one.
Rather than risk planting a ticking time bomb by his side for the sake of fleeting pleasure…
It was better to send her down to reunite with her loved ones.
A family should be neat and complete.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for unlocking the hidden achievement: 'A Family Must Be Neat and Complete!'
Successfully reunited the Carbonated Beverage Family (Cola, Sprite, Fanta, Dairy Milk).
You have obtained the skill: Carbonated Gas Bomb!"
The system's notification rang out, catching Kaito by surprise.
A hidden achievement?
He hadn't expected the Deterrence System to have this kind of feature. A flicker of curiosity stirred in his mind. It seemed he still didn't fully understand the golden-finger-like system. Further exploration would be necessary.
Carbonated Gas Bomb: Releases high-pressure carbonated bubbles for area-of-effect corrosive damage. Power increases with the user's physique.
(Beginner: 0/50)
Kaito raised an eyebrow.
Not an especially powerful skill—yet. But the fact it could grow was promising. If its power scaled properly, it might eventually rival King's infamous move:
"Hellfire Unrivaled Exploding Wave Cannon."
That name might no longer be just for show.
He picked up the mechanical dog, now folded back into its compact box form, slipped the controller into his pocket, adjusted his clothes, and calmly walked out of the men's restroom.
As he pushed the door open, he noticed several KFC employees peeking nervously from the entrance.
When they saw Kaito emerge—
Their eyes lit up in unison.
And they cheered.
"It's King!"
"That's great! It's King-sama!"
"The monster must have been eliminated!"
Kaito walked over calmly to inquire about the situation.
Only then did he learn that the Cola Monster had been causing trouble in the store late at night—barging in, demanding cola, and injuring several employees who tried to stop him.
The employees clearly hated the monster with a passion. After reporting the incident to the Hero Association, they had hidden nearby and only dared return once they confirmed the monster's death.
"So that's how it is…" Kaito clicked his tongue softly.
It seemed that killing the Cola Monster had genuinely served the public good. No suspicion of unjustified killing at all.
"King-sama, thank you so much!"
A young female employee with a ponytail stepped forward, her voice full of gratitude.
"That Cola Monster has been harassing us for days—every time wrecking the place! And whenever heroes came, he'd just vanish!"
"Yes, yes!"
A male employee in glasses added quickly, his tone animated.
"He even threatened to turn all of us into carbonated drinks! If you hadn't shown up in time… who knows what would've happened! I need to upload King-sama's heroic moment online right away!"
As he spoke, he whipped out his phone and began snapping pictures of the remains of the Carbonated Beverage Monster Family sprawled across the floor.
Kaito gave a small wave of his hand, as if to say no need for thanks.
Just as he was about to leave, he noticed a little girl—around seven or eight years old—clinging tightly to the leg of the ponytailed employee. She was shaking, eyes wide, clutching a plastic cup of cola like a lifeline.
"That little one…" Kaito asked, pointing.
"Ah—she's my daughter," the woman explained, gently stroking the girl's hair.
"School was out today, and she insisted on coming to work with me… She was terrified just now."
Kaito knelt down, bringing himself to the girl's eye level, and offered a warm smile.
"Don't be afraid. The monster's gone now. Uncle chased it away."
The girl peeked out timidly from behind her mother's leg. Her eyes, large and filled with tears, looked first at Kaito… then at the cola in her small hands.
Without saying a word, she held out the cup toward him.
"Hero Uncle… have some."
Kaito blinked, caught off guard—then chuckled softly.
He gently patted her head, voice soft but steady.
"Thank you. But Uncle's not thirsty. You drink it yourself, alright?"
Then, lowering his voice into a secretive, mischievous tone, he added:
"But remember… don't drink too much. Or you'll turn into a little soda monster!"
The girl let out a surprised giggle, nodding enthusiastically.
"Mhm! I'll only drink one cup a day from now on!"
Unbeknownst to them, this warm exchange had been recorded on the male employee's phone—and within minutes, the video was online.
The video exploded.
In it, King-sama, already known for effortlessly eradicating the Cola Monster in seconds, showed a completely different side—a gentle, kind protector of children.
The contrast between overwhelming power and approachable warmth struck a deep chord.
Within hours, King's already soaring popularity reached new, unimaginable heights.
Later that night, after leaving the fast-food restaurant, Kaito made his way home, hands once again in his pockets, a small smile playing on his lips.
All in all, a good night.
Though the events had taken a few unexpected turns, he'd gained quite a lot:He'd successfully tested the mechanical dog in real combat.He'd unlocked a new skill.And most importantly, he had discovered the system's hidden achievement function.That last one changed everything.
Because now he knew…
It wasn't just about intimidating enemies to earn points.
Certain key actions could trigger extra rewards—secret, powerful, potentially game-changing rewards.
That knowledge sparked a dozen new ideas in his mind.
This wasn't just about strength anymore.
Now it was about strategy. About turning even small moments into advantage.
A whole new way to play the game had just opened up.
