Determined to confront Mr. Eyeball, Cutecumber wasted no time. She slashed her cucumber sword at his mask.
As the mask tumbled to the ground, there was a moment of anticipation. But when it fell, they saw that Mr. Eyeball had no face underneath the mask; there was only emptiness.
The fallen mask then disappeared and it grew back onto Mr. Eyeball's face, attaching itself like a part of his being.
With an evil grin, Mr. Eyeball turned up the potency on his Eye of Death, amplifying its power. He then directed his gaze toward Octopus Man, the target of his dreadful ability.
As the Eye of Death locked onto Octopus Man, a surge of excruciating pain coursed through him. He let out a loud scream of agony that echoed through the chamber. Kookakoo was scared, thinking Octopus Man was about to fall victim to the Eye of Death.
But to everyone's astonishment, Octopus Man managed to regain his composure. Gritting his teeth, he got back up and began to speak, "Damn, I just pulled a muscle."
Mr. Eyeball, utterly shocked that his power had failed to kill Octopus Man, blinked behind his mask in disbelief. Seizing the opportunity while Mr. Eyeball was distracted by Octopus Man's resistance, Cutecumber swung her cucumber sword, aiming to cut him in half.
With a slash of her cucumber sword, Mr. Eyeball was indeed cut in two, and a triumphant cheer erupted from Octopus Man, Kookakoo, and Cutecumber.
However, Mr. Eyeball's two severed halves began to regenerate and fuse back together, reconstituting him into a singular being once again. The trio watched in shock as he stood fully restored.
Mr. Eyeball laughed began to explain the nature of his Eye of Death. "You see," he began, "the Eye of Death brings death to everyone it gazes upon, but it brings life to me. It's the source of my power, and it sustains me."
Octopus Man had heard enough. He knew that they needed to find a way to counter this seemingly invincible adversary. He whistled for Catalina, who materialized and transformed into a ray gun.
He aimed the ray gun at Mr. Eyeball and fired a beam of energy that pierced through Mr. Eyeball's chest and even his very soul. Despite being a usually fatal attack, the hole in Mr. Eyeball's chest regenerated before their very eyes.
Octopus Man, filled with fear couldn't help but ask, "How were you able to withstand your soul being destroyed?"
This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
Mr. Eyeball smirked and responded, "You underestimate me, Octopus Man. The Eye of Death is not easily defeated. It grants me powers that go beyond mere mortals. Your attempts to erase my existence are in vain."
Mr. Eyeball then grabbed Octopus Man my his shirt. Mr. Eyeball harnessed the power of his Eye of Death to erase Octopus Man's mind and soul. Octopus Man seemed to evaporate before their eyes, leaving only a chilling silence in the chamber.
A laugh of pure evil echoed through the air, coming from Mr. Eyeball. Kookakoo, with a smirk, slowly reached up and removed her mask, revealing that she had been the real Octopus Man all along. "Nice try but I planned for this battle 5 months ago!" Octopus Man exclaims.
Just as the group processed what had just happened, the real Kookakoo appeared seemingly out of nowhere, stating casually, "I was in the toilet. What did I miss?"
Frustrated, Mr. Eyeball's patience wore off. With a determined glare, he turned the Eye of Death all the way up, intensifying its deadly power to its maximum potential.
Cutecumber sighs. She decided to take matters into her own hands. She boldly stepped forward, proclaiming, "The author hasn't been giving me enough spotlight, so it's time to shine!" With a quick and confident movement, she attempted to strike at Mr. Eyeball.
However, before Cutecumber could make her move, Mr. Eyeball activated the Eye of Death at its most potent level. In an instant, Cutecumber was erased from existence.
Kookakoo stared in shock. She knew that her explosive math equations were unlikely to have any impact on him as he could regenerate his very soul.
Octopus Man fell to his knees, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably. Mr. Eyeball taunted Octopus Man with cruel laughter.
Octopus Man suddenly looked up, tears covering his face. With distress he yelled, "I forgot to pay my bills! My perfect credit score is ruined!"
Kookakoo was angered by Octopus Man's lack of care for Cutecumber, "Octopus Man, Cutecumber just died! Have some respect!"
Octopus Man blinked and put his fingers to his chin. "Oh yeah." He said calmly. He then reached his hand through a dimensional rift and pulled Cutecumber out from heaven.
Mr. Eyeball stood there, utterly baffled by what had just happened. Octopus Man, wiping away his tears, gathered his composure and declared, "Alright, this time, I'll beat you!"
However, Mr. Eyeball, still processing the resurrection of Cutecumber and Octopus Man's randomness, held up his hand and said, "Wait a moment! I need some time to process all of this. It's... a lot to take in."
Deciding that he needed a break to reflect on what had just happened, Mr. Eyeball wandered off to a calming pond, sat by the water, and began to feed ducks, lost in deep contemplation about his life choices and the strange occurrences of the day.
After what seemed like an extended period of self-reflection, Mr. Eyeball returned, "I'm ready to continue now."
With an earth-shaking yell, Octopus Man declared, "I have harnessed the power of Turkmenistan!"
Octopus Man delivered a finishing blow, his fist punching through Mr. Eyeball's chest. As the dust settled, Octopus Man stared at the hole in Mr. Eyeball's body and burst into laughter. "Turkmenistan goes beyond the soul!" he stated.
Cutecumber facepalmed. "You two are so weird." she states.
Kookakoo smiles and shouts "Octopus Man, end the chapter with the power of Turkmenistan!" Octopus Man nods "Indeed I shall!"
