In the water—
Pie stopped struggling.
Went still.
Alex's thought pulsed.
Now.
Pie's body glowed.
Faint.
Then bright.
Started expanding.
Two meters.
Three.
Five.
Mizuchi's coils loosened.
Can't hold it.
Too big.
Eight meters.
Ten.
The serpent tried to pull away.
Too late.
Twelve.
THIRTEEN METERS.
BOOM!
Pie's mass exploded outward.
Mizuchi crushed beneath.
Pressed down.
Flattened against the arena floor.
The water displaced.
Waves crashed.
Flooded over the edges.
Soaking the front rows.
Pie's weight settled.
Thirteen meters of dense slime.
Tons.
Mizuchi thrashed.
Tail whipping.
Body writhing.
Couldn't budge.
Pinned.
Completely.
"GULU!"
The sound echoed.
Deep.
Thunderous.
Vibrating through the arena.
Silence.
Complete silence.
Everyone stared.
At the yellow mountain.
At the serpent beneath.
Struggling.
Helpless.
Then—
"WHAT THE FUCK?!"
"THIRTEEN METERS?!"
"THAT'S LEVEL FIVE GIGANTIFICATION?!"
"ON A TENTH-GRADE SLIME?!"
