Chapter 1026: Chapter 555: Thunderbird West Wind, Aerospace Carrier

Above the battlefield, wild winds swept the clouds, pouring rain overturned the sea and sky.

The pitch-black cloud bottom seemed to have been pierced by a gun, creating a huge hole.

Countless bolts of lightning poured down through the hole marked by the Storm Giant Spirit like a flood, twisting and crawling like snakes across the ocean’s surface.

"Woo woo woo woo..."

Mantis shrimp, crabs, sea cucumbers, abalone, jellyfish, scallops, geoducks, conch, cod... Each sea monster’s body was flickering with electric light, steaming, exuding a burnt aroma.

There were unlucky ghosts struck directly by lightning, even blown into smithereens of "teppanyaki" on the spot.

The largest, giant wolffish strip, like a snake ball, was focused by several bolts of lightning mixed with flying ball lightning.

Even though it instinctively activated its transcendent ability, stirring up dozens of waterspouts in an attempt to counterattack the lightning, it was still blown apart on the spot.

Turning into countless pieces of "grilled eel segments."

Other large species sea monsters with slightly stronger resistance tried to dive back into the deep sea but were fiercely resisted by the Power of Law supported by tens of millions of people, leaving them to wail continually in the lightning.

Whether it was the sea monsters in the lightning or the pseudo-gods outside the territorial waters, all felt each second as long as a year.

This large-scale concentrated discharge of thunderstorm clouds lasted a dozen seconds, the longest arc exceeding 300 kilometers.

Even Byron didn’t know exactly how much energy his "sky-piercing" shot released.

But if measured in units of one hundred thousand volts, it was at least equivalent to several hundred thousand "skins."

Among them, the power consumed by Byron himself was negligible, almost entirely sourced from this world itself. It could be said that the energy belonged to the sun, stored in the form of electric charge by the world.

Once again, it vividly illustrates why the sun and storms are the deep sea’s arch-enemies.

The concurrent appearance of stormy weather and large-scale sea monsters was considered a very common natural phenomenon, and no one had ever delved into the principle behind it.

During scattered sea monster appearances, at most there would be accompanying fog, but once a large number of sea monsters, especially those polluted from outside the world rift, gathered, there would inevitably be lightning, thunder, wind, and rain.

Naturalists generally believed this was the sea monsters’ group effect, actively creating a natural environment suitable for counter-attacking the land.

But Byron, having just launched "Unity of All Things" and fused his spirit with the cumulonimbus clouds, could clearly sense the material world’s indistinct yet adamant... disdain for those polluted ones!

Speculating that on surface "lightning storm" appeared to aid sea monsters, in essence, it was the world’s stress response and immune system to clear out "toxins."

The world not only rejected the Old Gods that plunged into the deep sea, but also wanted to strike down these Kin moving in and out of its body.

Due to the universal presence of the skin effect, the current tends to flow on the surface layer of conductors rather than penetrating inside.

Seawater is a good conductor, so when lightning strikes it only distributes on the surface of the ocean, making it difficult to harm sea monsters underwater, and quickly diminishing with distance.

Therefore, relying solely on the world’s mechanical immune system was not highly threatening to degenerate sea monsters and Kin.

Only when the world’s Great Power was coordinated with Byron, this tactical-flexible Proxy, did the Lightning Storm’s Might fully erupt. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

When the dazzling light and rising white mist from the lightning completely dissipated, the vast ocean surface had already become a large pot of steaming seafood soup.

The entire sea area was infused with the aroma of "freshness."

Most sea monsters had their bellies turned, entirely charred and dead on the spot.

An extremely small number of large species sea monsters not directly struck by lightning were at least medium rare.

For gourmands seeking extreme freshness, the doneness was just right, perfect for picking up and directly gnawing on, the meat filled with myoglobin, simply superb.

Even more superb was Byron’s culinary skill.

Using the sea as the soup pot, the sky as the stove, and thunder as the fire, this is the gods’ way of cooking.

Unfortunately, during the battle, neither side, whether friend or foe, could spare a moment to ponder whether this cooking method produced tasty seafood, with mouths agape in shock at the terrifying divine power, unable to return to their senses.

The same scene was projected nationwide via coastal lighthouses, allowing all citizens of the Empire to witness this awe-inspiring divine might.

After the initial fright came collective excitement, cheeks flushed, as they shouted themselves hoarse calling Byron, the "Wild Hunt King," the "Messiah."

Nowadays, the Bayfolk do not trend in shouting "Long live," as it’s not a very auspicious term for an immortal god.

Byron gently clapped his hands, quite satisfied with the effect of this blow:

"The charges in thunderstorm clouds usually come from friction, with positive charges at the top of cumulonimbus, negative charges in the middle and lower sections, and a positive charge area at the bottom.

When charges of different polarities reach sufficient amounts, a strong electric field forms between the cloud and the ground, breaking through the air that was originally an insulator, leading to discharge.

The discharge between cloud and ground is called ’ground flash,’ while discharge within the cloud is called ’cloud flash,’ this is the Authority of [Storm King]!"

Clearly, Byron, who grasped knowledge of natural science, was holding more than just a left-zero right-fire new energy fishing rod, but a destructive new Authority — [Meteorological Weapon]!

The faces turned pale as the crowd just returned to their senses from this world-shattering strike.

"Screech—!"

Suddenly, from where the lightning had disappeared, came a piercing cry that split gold and stone.
