Snapping sound!

The massive Hai Bo Long Oriented Constraint Cannon dropped from the Black Star Forge. This space-based weapon was being used by Lin Xian for the first time after acquiring it from Mochizuki Masashi. The task at hand involved the same goal as Mochizuki Masashi’s previous attempt to detonate the Floating Tower in White City...

Buzzing!

The dome’s rocky surface abruptly peeled away as hundreds of thousands of black serpentine creatures spiraled into a massive drill, crashing down like a serpent-like torso. KIKI immediately launched a telekinetic storm with both hands. The front end of the drill burst apart, but the dispersed swarm quickly emitted a silver-green web, enveloping the pair.

This time, KIKI recognized the power of the threads and dared not face them head-on. Instead, he lifted his hand, tore off a massive rock wall from the geothermal well, and pulled it into place. The spraying threads instantly dissolved holes through the boulder, dust and powder spraying out.

Meanwhile, on Viola’s side, thousands of drones swarmed like a flock of insects, swiftly darting across the geothermal well’s sky. Coordinated with frenzied lasers and high-energy impacts, they brutally slaughtered the serpent creatures.

"Lin Xian!"

"All done."

Lin Xian manipulated a mechanical arm to embed into the reactor’s cooling fins, levitating the massive metal structure over the boiling magma pool by KIKI’s telekinesis field. They slammed the chain reaction module into the reactor core, then fixed the giant Hai Bo Long Oriented Constraint Cannon atop the reactor, creating a makeshift induction reactor device.

[Note, the enemy creatures’ energy emission has a significant destructive impact on the environment and metal structures, with extensive coverage. To ensure the plan’s success, the device’s safety must be protected.]

Viola reminded them at this moment.

"Of course! Let’s draw it away!" Lin Xian manipulated the mechanical arm to secure the reactor onto the geocore thermal device’s cross base, then called on KIKI. With their leg propellers overloading, they unhesitatingly retreated toward the passage’s direction.

At this moment, the black serpentine creatures covering the dome began frantically swarming toward Lin Xian and KIKI, looking like black water swimming in the air, quickly swirling and dragging the wall-crawling creatures into a massive gathering, rolling forward overwhelmingly.

Viola followed behind, covering their retreat. Thousands of drones, appearing alive, followed behind, attacking while protecting. Underneath Viola’s extraordinary computational power, all drones seemed to have individual consciousness, capable of monitoring tens of thousands of targets and dispersing across the enemy. Achieving this kind of scene was exactly what Lin Xian wanted to create with his drone army but was unable to execute.

[Upper-level sensors detected a large number of organisms approaching, estimated contact time in 4 minutes.]

Even before they escaped from the black insects behind them, Viola delivered even more despairing news. Lin Xian gritted his teeth slightly and pointed his hand to blast open the collapsed half of the passage with the mechanical energy cannon, then KIKI spread a protective telekinesis shield as they charged straight inside.

Rumble.

Deep Water Port, water waves roaring.

The Infinity Train and the Abyssal Nuclear Submarine half-floated in the inky sea. Outside the porthole, phosphorescent organisms drifted eerily. Chen Sixuan stood inside the Infinity, looking intently at the Sentinel System. In the submarine’s command cabin, Ryan observantly stared at the radar screen where a massive red dot flickered directly below them, hand poised to press the headphones. Behind him, all team members were holding their breath, the atmosphere so tense they could hear each other’s heartbeats.

"Lin Xian... Lin Xian..." Chen Sixuan continuously tried to contact Lin Xian.

"The signal at the geothermal well is heavily disrupted." Ning Jing’s voice came from where she was monitoring with Da Lou and others in car number 5, "I suggest we don’t act recklessly for now."

"That thing is underwater, and we can’t identify it." Ryan on the submarine spoke in a similarly frustrated tone.

"It’s at least A-level or even a special level, the Soul Swinging Value Detector detected extremely high dark energy fluctuations." Erica from the Hawk Sea Group spoke up.

Gedi said, "It seems like it hasn’t discovered us yet. It’s best not to act rashly. If we get marked, we’ll be in trouble."

"It’s not just about being marked anymore." In the Infinity’s cockpit, Monica bent down to look out at the black water through the Stardust porthole. A strange black and white ringed tentacle slowly slid across the water’s surface. She said sternly, "This thing is blocking our diving passage."

At this remark, the backbone members in the communication frequency silently held their breath.

Chen Sixuan spoke up at this moment, "Monica, Ryan, everyone get ready to act. There’s only one way left!"

The Infinity had just undergone modifications for deep diving. All onboard weapons were inoperable, so they could only rely on superpower users to tackle the difficulties ahead.

As tension reached a peak, a massive explosion suddenly erupted from above, and the water surface of the Deep Water Port began to boil intensely. The underwater monster seemed to have targeted something as the inky sea suddenly stagnated. Suspended phosphorescent microorganisms collectively went dark, and the Abyssal Nuclear Submarine’s sonar screen erupted with blood-red ripples. The Hawk Sea Group and Infinity heard the alarms blaring internally at the same time!

"It’s here!"

Bang!!

Between the Infinity and the submarine, the water suddenly surged as a gigantic gelatinous limb, over thirty meters in diameter, burst out of the water with monstrous force. Thousands of tons of seawater slammed onto the submarine’s pressure-resistant shell, causing the vessel to veer and crash into the rocky wall like a toy, the titanium alloy hull emitting a piercing groan.

Almost simultaneously, five bone-spurred pale arms coiled around the Infinity’s third train car, thrusting it straight out of the water.
