Only now did the members of Ryan’s team clearly see the mechanical gate that previously summoned the Mechanical Giant Sword. Each of them looked utterly astonished, as if they were witnessing an alien life form.

"Is this still... a superpower?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Space?"

"I was curious from the start, where did so many drones come from..."

"Amazing, so this is the Mechanical Superpower!"

Everyone was engaged in lively discussion, while Gedi and Vanessa looked at Lin Xian with surprise: "I now roughly understand why we couldn’t detect his Spirit Vibration Value. The Mechanical Superpower seems to be more... mysterious than all other superpowers." She pondered over an adjective.

"I feel the same." Vanessa nodded.

Ryan watched this scene and took a deep breath. He now understood the terrifying energy of this Sword Holder. It appeared that his planned strategy was of no help in front of Lin Xian. So Ryan immediately assessed the situation and said to Azir, "Iron Arm, send the information and coordinates of Hai Wen to Captain Lin."

Azir hesitated for a moment, then quickly complied.

Lin Xian, on his side, received the information and input it into the Iron Rain Drone system. This operation was more complex than expected. Though there were likely fewer Abnormal Bodies in this sea area now, one still couldn’t let down their guard.

While the Iron Rain Drones were somewhat inadequate in dealing with large Abnormal Bodies, their special metal and waterproof capabilities made them suitable for underwater communication relays.

Wow!

Soon, under Lin Xian’s control, a large number of drones began to dive. The first step was to ascertain the situation underwater. If the backup energy outlet could be directly opened, there wouldn’t be a need for further risky human intervention.

At this moment, a small display appeared in Lin Xian’s hand, syncing real-time underwater images captured by the drone’s top camera to the screen.

The drones, directed by Lin Xian, dove into the sea. Beside him, Ryan watched Lin Xian’s operation and reminded, "Strictly speaking, none of the discharge ports of the Deep 3 device are further than the adjacent waters of Sea Rock Island."

Lin Xian nodded, operating the drones while responding, "I understand what you mean. These discharge ports are all within the seismic influence of the Galan Volcano’s underwater mountain range. That is precisely what caused that thing to revive the dormant Galan Volcano."

"I can’t be entirely certain that this is the case; the Foundation keeps such information classified. I just want to point out that if the volcano starts intense activity, the geothermal facilities could be completely destroyed by the earthquakes alone."

Lin Xian straightforwardly said, "So even if we could discharge energy, it might only affect the geothermal wells at the submarine base. If the volcano erupts, we have no control over it. But the proposal we discussed earlier might be worth a try, treating a dying horse as if it were alive."

Ryan understood Lin Xian’s instructions and came over to look at his control panel, expressing some confusion, "Only the corpses are left?"

Previously, the number of Abnormal Bodies was enough to make one’s scalp tingle just by looking at them. Yet now, under the water, only various corpse remains of the Abnormal Bodies were constantly sinking, with large amounts of Black Gas spreading.

"So much Black Gas, yet no other Abnormal Bodies are approaching?"

"It could be because this area used to be the territory of the Vortex Giant. Even though the Vortex Giant was slain, its aura likely still persists in the water, deterring other Abnormal Bodies from approaching this region," Erica said at this point.

"Another possibility is that you just absorbed all the Blood Crystals here, and without geothermal core dispersal, these Abnormal Body corpses and the dissipated Dark Energy are not more attractive than other areas," said Lin Xian.

Erica smiled at Lin Xian’s words, looking at him: "I think you are right."

"So it seems those Abnormal Bodies didn’t retreat, but quickly got attracted to other regions after losing their marked target," Ryan said, adjusting his sunglasses.

"Makes sense," KIKI said.

"For a moment, I thought we were about to lose our lives here, but I didn’t expect this sea region to become so desolate," Vanessa couldn’t help but reflect.

"Even so, we still can’t relax our vigilance," Gedi sternly reminded.

With fewer Abnormal Bodies underwater, it was undoubtedly good news. However, losing vigilance over this treacherous ocean could lead to a huge downfall, possibly even costing lives, without exaggeration!

Lin Xian’s drones continued to dive deeper; the light became invisible, with only the Deep Diving Device’s lights and sonar scan providing visual signals. Under Lin Xian’s operation, the Deep Diving Device had already descended hundreds of meters. The seabed was rugged, and as it descended further, numerous relay drones floated in the deep water like a chain ball. Guided by the coordinates and deep-water hydrological information provided by Ryan, Lin Xian quickly located a metal pipe hidden among the rocks, evidently the backup energy discharge pipeline Ryan had mentioned.

The Deep Diving Device proceeded along the backup energy discharge pipeline and soon found the outlet of this backup energy discharge pipeline.

The outlet was at an underwater cliff, but frustratingly, it was completely blocked by the giant corpse of the Vortex Monster, the massive insect carcass lying across the sea bed, with the sea water almost entirely shrouded in Black Blood, severely impairing the Deep Diving Device’s camera system.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xian frowned immediately. This was too unfortunate. Scanning down couldn’t even reveal where the energy outlet was, and Lin Xian’s Deep Diving Devices were all small units, utterly incapable of dealing with such gigantic remnant carcasses.
