My Avatar is Becoming the Ultimate BOSS

In the dead of night, on the rooftop of a teaching building at Li Jing Third Middle School, a pitch-black figure wrapped in restraint belts was sitting on the railing, with a pair of sunglasses perched on his nose.

A young man dressed in a black trench coat was seated beside him.

The two sat in silent harmony, like old friends, enjoying a moment of tranquility, as the long street was brightly lit and the evening breeze gently blew.

After a moment, Black Cocoon looked up from the drawing board and showed the leader of the White Crow Travel Brigade the epic artwork he had just completed.

There was a line of slanted title text attached above the painting: "Legendary Shark Devours a Whale."

"The Legendary Whale?" Urushibara Osamu gazed at the drawing board, pondering for a moment, "And that shark... from its appearance, it should be an Eternal Abyss Shark."

"Oh, this makes things easier."

Black Cocoon adjusted his sunglasses, with a hint of surprise in his voice, "It seems the brigade leader is indeed knowledgeable; I initially thought you wouldn't know what an Eternal Abyss Shark is, saving me a long explanation."

Urushibara Osamu replied nonchalantly, "I happen to have an interest in this field. Books documenting 'magical creatures' are few and far between in this world, mostly in the hands of some minority groups, and you have to go through great lengths to find them."

He paused, "Once I can get my hands on them, I won't miss the chance."

Black Cocoon whistled, "I must say, that's quite a violent statement, contrasting with your refined appearance... Of course, I don't dislike such men; it's far better than those who are all desire but lack execution and brains."

He shook his head, "I am not specifically criticizing Swallowing Silver, of course, nor do I know what kind of breed Ghost Bell is."

Having said that, Black Cocoon raised a finger wrapped in a restraint belt, spinning the drawing board on his fingertip like a basketball.

"So, may I ask to what extent the brigade leader understands the species of the Eternal Abyss Shark?"

"If my memory is correct... the ability of the Eternal Abyss Shark should be to change its size, control water flow, and it can enhance its own size and awaken extraordinary power by devouring Anecdote Fragments."

"Correct."

Urushibara Osamu toyed with a playing card, "As far as I know, the last Eternal Abyss Shark in the world went extinct many years ago."

Extinct is extinct, but I forcibly created one with my superpower. However, since there are no kin, the inability to reproduce means extinction is inevitable sooner or later...

Black Cocoon thought that to himself but said out loud: "That's just what's recorded in books; in reality, there remains one last unique Eternal Abyss Shark in the world, and it... is currently hiding inside the body of the Legendary Whale."

"If I remember correctly..." Urushibara Osamu lowered his eyes, playing with the playing cards in his hand, "The Legendary Whale and the Eternal Abyss Shark are natural enemies."

"Yes, it's precisely because they are natural enemies that the world's last Eternal Abyss Shark is hibernating inside the Whale Terrarium," Black Cocoon said, "Its goal is to devour Anecdote Fragments within the Box Garden World to quickly improve its true size."

Urushibara Osamu was silent for a moment, looking at the drawing on the board, "And then... devour the Legendary Whale?"

"Yes, but first, it must leave the Whale Terrarium," Black Cocoon said eerily, "If it's always trapped inside the Box Garden, it will never be able to complete its mission."

"What I'm more curious about is how the shark you mentioned managed to infiltrate the Whale Terrarium without being discovered by the Anecdote Envoy?"

Upon hearing this, Black Cocoon peeled off a piece of the restraint belt covering his right hand, revealing a copy of Shakespeare's "Hamlet."

He crossed his legs, sitting on the railing while reading, "Didn't you say earlier that the Eternal Abyss Shark can change its size and appearance? Not long ago, the King was searching the ocean for a 'Nobel Shark' as a birthday gift for his beloved son, the Third Prince, Cezar."

He paused slightly, then emphasized:

"The King indeed found a Nobel Shark to his liking, and the origin of that Nobel Shark is quite unusual. By now, you should have guessed it?"

Urushibara Osamu lowered his head, with one more playing card in his hand.

Without hesitation, he speculated, "The last Eternal Abyss Shark you mentioned disguised itself as a Nobel Shark, deliberately displaying itself, was chosen by the King, and then... it became the King's gift to the Third Prince."

"That's right, talking with a smart person is nice," Black Cocoon said while flipping through the pages, "If it were someone else, like a certain Ghost Bell fool, they might be ringing bells waiting to fight, and probably even accuse me of having delusions."

"So... after all this talk, what exactly are you trying to convey?"

Saying this, Urushibara Osamu flicked his fingers, and the suits of the playing card changed from red to black.

"Or rather, what is your purpose?" he continued.

Black Cocoon lowered his eyes, looking at the English text in the book, "If I'm not mistaken, it was when the King was out hunting that the 'Black Death Sect Leader' Bernardo seized the opportunity, unknowingly causing the King to contract the Black Death..."

He looked up at Urushibara Osamu: "And the culprit that caused the King to be bedridden for a long time is currently in your brigade, Mr. Urushibara."

"And then?"

"Bernardo's purpose in joining the brigade is to discuss with you how to invade the 'Whale Terrarium' and plunder the Royal Court's treasury. For a bandit, the treasure of a country independent of the human world is indeed very attractive."
