Seeing the vast and brilliant galactic ocean beneath the deep sea, everyone was filled with both tension and fear of this bizarre current.

At Lin Xian’s command, Infinity and Beifeng 09 immediately initiated propulsion as the volcanic lava like Hell rose from the deep sea. The two submarines, seeming insignificant in the deep-sea torrents, began heading towards the ’Galaxy’ vortex. The propellers were set to maximum power, and all crew members were tense. Power Armor was fully prepared, all precautions taken, and every available handhold was secured.

Ning Jing, Qian Deli, and other Infinity team elites gathered in Car 89. Vanessa joined in to protect the Hawk Sea Group members aboard Infinity. Meanwhile, on Beifeng 09, each section prepared as if facing an enemy. Children were secured in anti-roll cradles, and everyone in the rest area held hands tightly. The air was completely still, leaving only the breath of tension.

Ryan watched as Infinity sped toward the vortex, removing his sunglasses and gritting his teeth with a bittersweet determination, fiercely declaring, "This is amazing, rush forward!"

In Infinity’s cockpit, Chen Sixuan and Ding Junyi strapped themselves to their seats. KIKI floated in the air, unleashing her full Superpower. Telekinesis, like an invisible film, lightly enveloped Infinity, while Ryuji coordinated care for Beifeng 09 behind them.

[Flow rate 9 meters/second...12 meters/second...15 meters/second! Attitude control failed, prepare to retract anti-roll fins, enter vortex outer ring.]

Woo woo woo!

Inside Infinity, alarm instruments blared uninterrupted. As the outside flow speed increased, Infinity was engulfed by the powerful current, beginning to tumble and tilt, and started edging into the vortex.

"Life or death, it’s a gamble now."

Lin Xian’s eyes flickered, watching the increasingly dense blue water spots outside the porthole. The pressure hull emitted an accelerating wail, he took a deep breath, and his nano-power armor instantly transformed six spider-like legs to stabilize himself, then operated the Mechanical Heart with full force.

At this moment, his Mechanical Heart entirely abandoned control, leaving only one goal: repair fatigued metal!

Buzz buzz buzz!

[Flow rate 18 meters/second...20 meters/second...22 meters/second!]

Viola’s calm voice sounded extremely sharp amidst the alarms. The ears of Lin Xian and others flooded with agitated buzzing, the communicator left only noise. Infinity was like a coin tossed into a giant ocean laundry machine. The deep sea water outside abruptly vanished, transformed into endless blue streaks by centrifugal force, stretching into a gleaming ribbon across the abyss!

Beginning to enter the super-vortex center!

[Current speed, propellers have lost escape power, flow rate reaches 25 meters/second! Cars 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 start metal deformation!]

Woo!!

"I know!"

Lin Xian’s scream was swallowed by the metallic wails, as the straight corridor behind began twisting like a pretzel, undergoing severe deformation.

"KIKI, don’t let Infinity break apart!"

"I know too!" At this moment, KIKI gritted her silver teeth, her eyes blazing like hot electricity. Her body emitted waves of Superpower, causing energy distortion around her, devoted to solidifying Infinity’s pressure hull exterior. As long as the exterior wasn’t torn, Lin Xian could continuously repair metal fatigue through his Superpower, maintaining stability.

Chen Sixuan closed her eyes, gritting her teeth against the immense load, while Ding Junyi was nearly fainting beside her. Lacking combat experience, her face was pale, pressed into her seat by the harness, muttering intermittently in her disoriented state.

"Lin Xian... Can my Superpower... Help?"

Lin Xian shouted directly in her ear, "Focus on protecting yourself, the rest! Don’t worry!"

[Flow rate reaches 32 meters/second, nearing vortex center, estimated core flow rate will exceed 50 meters/second. Special reminder: if it reaches 35 meters/second, stress will surpass pressure hull limit!!]

meters per second, almost reaching the wind speed of a Level 17 typhoon, yet they were trapped not in a typhoon, but in a tangible deep-sea current!

Bang!

In Car 3, the seed pack protected by Xiao Yuan erupted within the vine-protected column. Seeds sprayed throughout the car, and in Car 5, Da Lou’s black dragon Armor clamped in the center, protecting Mo Xiaotian and Sha Sha on either side. In the rest car, various canned goods exploded, splattering the interior, and many people in the following cars were spinning with the terrifying whirlpool, in dire circumstances.

The entire Infinity, under the vortex’s terrifying centrifugal force, was like a lashed steel whip. The high-speed water caused the pressure hull to emit scorching heat waves, steam bubbles enveloped Infinity, while the erupting lava from the Galan Volcano soared heavenward like Hell’s ascent. Massive lava columns shot upwards, forming dark red pillars in this vortex galaxy.

Both Infinity and Beifeng 09 were passively trapped in the enormous flow rotation among them. They couldn’t control direction, couldn’t control tumbling, nor escape, all they could do was hold tight and pray the pressure hull wouldn’t be torn.

Compared to Infinity, Beifeng 09 fared slightly better. As a Federation’s integrated Abyssal-class Nuclear Submarine, its pressure resistance was superior to Infinity. Although during the deep diving module development, Lin Xian and Mochizuki Masashi put considerable effort into design and materials, Infinity was ultimately a land train, merely covered by a shell, its structural integrity was indeed flawed.
