At this moment, after realizing their current predicament, everyone aboard the Infinity and the Northern 09 Nuclear Submarine was tense, silently sweating.

The propellers had been slowed to their minimum speed, and the two deep diving devices began moving toward the cliff ahead at the lowest sailing speed.

The silt rising from the seabed turned the entire sea region into a murky hell. The Infinity relied on detectors to slowly advance. At this moment, Lin Xian and others in the cockpit wore grave expressions, as if they could hear their heartbeats.

Beep.

The sonar detector was sounding.

The terrain scan continuously mapped out a holographic map of the seabed topography; a flat bottom cliff slope terrain descended, increasing the depth.

In the rear carriage, Shi Zhi and Ah Bai, who could sense the aura of the monster, looked extremely horrified. They were very clear that a terrifying giant evil god beast was standing in the abyss ahead, with neither the deep diving devices nor Viola’s detectors able to truly gauge the creature’s scale. At this point, the heavy train and the Northern 09 nuclear submarine were like two insignificant earthworms under a mountain. It was the first time Shi Zhi and Ah Bai had detect such a sky-shrouding, world-ending beast.

The aura was overwhelming, like the sky coming down and the sea overturning.

And they were moving toward the creature!

In the Infinity’s cockpit, Lin Xian was tense all over, focusing all his attention on the Mechanical Heart. At this moment, the Infinity seemed completely integrated with him. He could clearly feel the bone-chilling oppressive force and the eerily flowing dark water pressure outside the cabin.

Beep.

The sonar detector sounded again, issuing an alert—not a biological alert but a terrain alert. The terrain scan’s analysis result informed him that ahead was a sea cliff, a mountainside.

But Lin Xian knew that ahead should be a bottomless abyss.

Rumble!

Massive impact undercurrents surged from behind, as if invisible hands were pushing them towards the sea cliff, towards the abyss.

"Is that thing standing at the bottom of the trench abyss, or is it rising?" KIKI, flying beside Lin Xian, asked cautiously.

Lin Xian shook his head, not daring to lose focus. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Viola, help me find a path for descent."

[Descent path mapped through terrain scan.] A clear holographic image appeared in front of Lin Xian. At this moment, the front of the sea cliff was filled with the massive structure of a body. Viola found a relatively wide hollow area among the cliffs and devised a path.

[If the target moves, a collision with us is likely. It is advised to advance in an inclined posture and accelerate descent.] Viola reminded at this moment.

"I know."

At this moment, Lin Xian’s heart was in his throat. He was well aware of the danger because, the closer they were to the monster, the more intense the dark energy fluctuations were, making everyone feel as if they were in an ice cellar, as if they were in hell. Even the electromagnetic components on the Infinity were being interfered with. To proceed undetected, they couldn’t activate the Tongshi Device to actively shield; the Infinity could only rely on the Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube for resistance. The Northern 09 wasn’t as fortunate—many on board were already feeling a choking pressure, their vision blurred, eardrums and skin oozing blood.

All Lin Xian could hear now was the ticking of his own watch and the sound of the sonar detection as he slowly maneuvered the Infinity off the cliff, adjusting the angle of inclination, and continued descending into the murky silt.

It wasn’t long before the Infinity moved away from the cliff terrain and entered below the abyss, yet on the terrain scan, it seemed as if they were moving through some valley crevice. Lin Xian and the others knew at this point there was no longer any "terrain". The massive structure on the terrain scan was actually the torso of a creature, capable of moving at any time.

In carriage 5, Sha Sha and Mo Xiaotian nervously lay before the porthole, but besides the flowing murky silt, they couldn’t see any objects. There was no light in the seawater beyond the glow from inside the carriage.

"Are we between the toes of the Giant Ocean God?" Sha Sha whispered.

Da Lou shook his head, at this moment not daring to take a breath: "I don’t know."

After saying that, he looked at Lu Xingchen. Brother Huo was tensely leaning against his chair, arms crossed, frowning. When he noticed Da Lou’s gaze, he immediately said in a deep voice:

"What are you looking at? I’m not scared, you know. It’s just too stuffy in this water. If we were on land, I wouldn’t care if it’s world-class or not, I’d burn it all with fire!"

Da Lou nodded: "I believe that."

Ryuji was ready to strike at any moment. Underwater, very few could use superpowers. In the current situation, he was among the few who could help.

Similarly, Da Lou’s kind of superpower was ineffective a thousand meters into the abyss, even with tons of strength, leaving him to only helplessly stare within the carriage.

Likewise, Sha Sha and Ah Bai, the two Perception Superpower Users in the rear carriage, couldn’t stay calm. Their perception had become meaningless. From their perspective, the dark aura had completely engulfed the Infinity. Shu Qin, Qian Deli, Luo Yang, Xiao Qing, Lv Chang, and Ning Jing were all left to helplessly stare.

Meanwhile, Monica stood in the rearmost Gemini 11R and power compartment, having removed her Power Armor. Alone there with her eyes, superpower fluctuations fully active, she whispered into her headset on a frequency to Lin Xian:
