On the Infinity, Lin Xian and KIKI could only rely on their cooperation to forcibly ensure the ship wouldn’t be torn apart by the increasingly violent abyssal vortex. At that moment, Lin Xian wished he could summon the Black Star Forge to help him automatically repair, but he knew that was impossible. He could only rely on his willpower, continuously scanning the train’s main structure and crazily pouring energy to repair it!

The metal fatigue of the rooftop honeycomb supports emitted a sharp sound, and a half-palm-wide crack appeared at the junction of carriage No. 3, where a high-pressure water column was forcefully pulled by KIKI’s telekinesis field and then welded by Lin Xian’s superpower. As the flow rate exceeded 35 meters/second, the entire train suddenly sank, and everyone felt as if a giant hammer had struck their chest. Lin Xian only heard a loud bang and, looking out the porthole, saw countless luminous blue bubbles appear outside, looking incredibly bizarre.

"What is that?!"

[According to analysis, it should be supercavitation bubbles in the core area of the Jingyuan Vortex Channel, a special phenomenon caused by fast-moving water currents.] At this moment, Viola, like a Guardian God, responded steadily to Lin Xian’s question. [The supercavitation bubbles cause tiny explosions on the metal surface, releasing energy and high temperatures, creating a corrosive effect on the pressure hull. It’s one of the troubles submarines face underwater. The supercavitation bubbles we encounter will cause greater corrosive damage to the main structure.]

"What?" KIKI gritted their teeth and asked, "How long until we enter a stable stream?!"

[It’s at least 1.4 nautical miles to the stable stream, within the vortex center, estimated to take another 3 minutes. But the problem is we might not last 1 minute under these supercavitation bubble impacts, and the vortex layer’s flow rate might reach 39 meters/second.]

"What should we do, Lin Xian?" KIKI asked Lin Xian.

BOOM!!!

The entire Infinity erupted with the sharp sound of metal fatigue, as all the pressure hoods across the structure emitted unsettling sounds of disintegration. At this moment, Lin Xian, enduring the terrifying load, half-closed his eyes to look at the data on the screen.

Azimuth 274, depth 2420 meters!

"There... is a way!" Lin Xian, veins protruding on his face, growled to KIKI, "Find a stable angle, and you shoot the Infinity into the center for me!"

"Huh?!"

[This plan is not recommended. Actively entering the vortex center horizontally, we will encounter enormous ocean current cutting forces, turbulence, and shear stress, disintegrating the Infinity instantly.] Viola promptly warned.

"What if we envelop the entire train in an AT Force Field?!"

"The entire train?" KIKI asked, "Can you handle it?"

"No problem."

"What about Ryan’s nuclear submarine?"

"It can handle it!"

KIKI’s eyes steadied as he spoke in a deep voice, "Alright."

"Ryuji, did you hear what I said?" Lin Xian shouted, "Later, you, like KIKI, grab Beifeng 09 for me!"

"Rest assured, I shall not fail the trust placed in me!" Ryuji’s hoarse voice came through.

"Good! Coming!"

Lin Xian clenched his teeth, simultaneously resisting the Infinity’s erosion within the supercavitation bubbles, continuously repairing it, and holding on to his consciousness. He watched the azimuth continuously adjust the connection angle of each carriage of the Infinity.

275, 276

Carriage 3 and Carriage 4 adjusted.

277, 278

Carriage 7 and Carriage 8 stabilized at the connection!

279, 280!

When the azimuth reached 280, Lin Xian suddenly shouted

"Do it!"

KIKI, hearing the command, unhesitatingly exclaimed in fury, unleashing all his strength and, together with Ryuji, wrapped Infinity and Northern 09 using telekinesis, launching them towards the vortex’s super-galaxy core at once. In an instant, the two abyssal submersibles, enveloped in telekinesis, broke through the violent whirlpool currents, piercing through the ocean currents like arrows!

"Ah!!"

Only a breath passed before KIKI cried out in pain, and Ryuji was in no better condition. No matter how strong personal superpowers were, they were but fireflies in the face of nature’s sublime power, not to mention at the Pacific Ocean’s 2500-meter depth, where the super vortex reached nearly 40 meters/second.

The terrifying power immediately drained the two, causing spiritual power to collapse, blood spraying inside the Power Armor Mask as they lost consciousness.

And at that brief moment, the two giant manned submersibles had already shot a considerable distance through the torrents!

[Current speed has reached 42 meters/second! Warning, you’ve entered the vortex channel, do not proceed further into the core!]

Just as KIKI and Ryuji lost consciousness, every trace of telekinesis disappeared from the metal pressure hulls of Infinity and Beifeng 09. In the cockpit of the Infinity, Lin Xian abruptly opened his eyes, and six mechanical arms started to crackle with arcing energy, activating mechanical operations.

At this moment, among the deep-sea currents, Infinity’s Giant Whale 03E heavy gas turbine train, Sky Star 5C nuclear power, and Gemini 11R nuclear power electric locomotive, the three power units suddenly roared with power, three Superstring Reactor Phase Rainbow Rings fully opened, and nearly 500,000 kilowatts of energy converged fiercely upon him!

In an instant, Lin Xian gleamed with billions of arcs, with energy beams violently bursting from his pupils.

"AT Force Field, activate for me!!!"

Lin Xian shouted fiercely, the white AT Force Field suddenly vibrating from his body and, accompanied by the terrifying energy of fifty million kilowatts, it unfolded like a polygonal shield over a kilometer in diameter, enveloping both the Infinity and Beifeng 09 nuclear submarine. It then collided with the devastating static water pressure and the super vortex’s high-speed turbulence under the ocean.

In an instant, Lin Xian felt a sudden silence in his ears, leaving only a sharp ringing within the depths of his awareness, his entire being akin to a psychological shift. In his vision, the blue currents outside the overturned porthole transformed into parallel light bands, and the entire train entered what felt like a former high-altitude corridor, commencing high-energy acceleration!

Everything became a silent world, with Infinity and Beifeng 09 nuclear submarines as though hitting the head of a shell exploded by shock wave propellant. At the vortex center’s entry moment, they were entangled by the whirlpool and thrust into a meandering ocean stream stretching far into the ocean—a super current illuminated by blue microorganisms, known as the Jingyuan Vortex Channel!

[Current speed has dropped to 30 meters/second...]

[Entered stable flow...]

[Adjusting confluence posture, deploying preset anti-roll fins.]

[Increasing internal oxygen pressure...]

By Lin Xian’s ear, Viola’s voice was intermittently distant and near, and as he attempted to open his eyes, he found his Power Armor HUD covered in his own sprayed blood mist, with extreme pain in his rear head, a burnt odor of electric arc pervading all over his body. He didn’t know how he was at the moment, but Viola’s transmission made him realize his plan likely succeeded.

At least, the cockpit of the Infinity wasn’t flooded.

Woowooowooowoooo!!

The violent alarms blaring differently, Lin Xian opened his eyes again, unlatched the Power Armor’s mask, looking up to see the cracked star dust porthole ahead and the brightly circulating light of the deep blue turbulent ocean outside. The flickering lights in the cockpit were accompanied by his breathing, like sand pouring through an hourglass, and his glance swept over to see KIKI, Chen Sixuan, and Ding Junyi, unconscious from the impact’s force and overwhelming load. He immediately struggled to call out to Viola.

"Viola..."

[All auxiliary and medical drones have been dispatched for rescue throughout the train, rest assured, Miss Shi Zhi and Qian Deli are assisting.]

Lin Xian slowly turned back, seeing a Hell Black Chrysanthemum’s dark energy fluctuations and a surge of green Healing Power permeating the twisted carriage hallway where Shi Zhi, wearing that special Power Armor, swiftly bounded over like an astronaut in space.

"Lin, hold on!" Shi Zhi’s anxious voice reached his ear.

When a tremendously cooling force surged into Lin Xian’s internal organs and brain, he knew his wild plan had succeeded once more, and he survived again.

The total energy from all three power sources on the train, along with his own Superstring Reactor, he didn’t know how much it all generated, only knowing he momentarily felt the scale of the force field once used by the Gray Mist Messenger, immeasurably potent.

"Crystal Grid?" Lin Xian mused to himself.

"No... to me, energy power should be the real deal!"
