Chapter 207: The Emperor-class Monster Encircling the Entire Ocean
After tidying things up, Li Ye began withdrawing the troops.
Fighter jets, reconnaissance aircraft, gunships, bombers, and Black Hawk helicopters returned one after another to the A1 deck.
The fleet continued its external deployment.
As for the land combat forces, they returned to the deck through the lift platform—except for Prometheus.
That behemoth continued its external deployment, as it itself possessed amphibious capabilities.
After recalling the troops, Tomorrow and the other four Mobile Cities once again activated their City Camouflage and leisurely made their way back to the Tourism State.
Behind them, the island was already shrouded in smoke and chaos, left in utter ruins.
Several hours later, while Li Ye was resting, a sudden voice came from the walkie-talkie.
It was from the deep-sea submarine unit deployed by the Tomorrow Alliance.
“ing, we’ve discovered an enemy Level 3 conventional-powered submarine in the nearby waters. It seems to be specifically scouting this sea area.”
Li Ye was stunned.
A Level 3 submarine—most likely dispatched by the Blood Clan Civilization.
It was probably because the island of the Merfolk Civilization had been destroyed, and the Blood Clan Civilization, having sensed something, came investigating.
“Do you have the confidence to take down the enemy submarine?” he asked.
The other side replied.
“ing, the enemy submarine has already discovered us. We’ve already engaged.”
At that moment, in the pitch-black depths hundreds of meters underwater, two submarines were locked in a covert dance of death.
Inside the cockpit of the Deep-sea Hunter Submarine, the sonar screen displayed two faint light dots, probing each other like phantoms.
Every faint echo pulled at the crew’s nerves.
A few seconds later, the Deep-sea Hunter Submarine captured the “da, da” acoustic pattern.
It was the characteristic sound of the enemy submarine’s propeller.
“Enemy located!”
The sonar operator suppressed his excitement, trying hard to keep his voice steady.
“Target confirmed. Bearing 2-7-5. Distance: 3,000 yards. Executing zigzag maneuvers.”
The captain nodded, pupils contracting under the dim alarm lights.
“Weapons officer, prepare to fire.”
The Deep-sea Hunter Submarine instantly entered a killing state.
Hundreds of tons of ballast water were urgently discharged, the hull angled up 25 degrees, surging upward rapidly. Under the crushing deep-sea pressure, the pressure hull groaned with a teeth-grating sound.
In the weapons bay, two torpedo operators had long been standing ready before the launch tubes, initiating a sequence of operations.
As the hydraulic system activated, the tube’s flooding valves rotated, seawater pouring in.
The torpedoes began their self-check routine, green indicators lighting up one by one.
Everything proceeded in perfect order.
Although it was their first real battle, everyone had undergone countless drills in the Level 3 City Simulation Training Pod aboard Tomorrow.
And all of them were at hell-level difficulty.
They had even experienced the horrifying scenario of the submarine being sunk, seawater rushing in, watching themselves and their comrades drown one after another.
“In the simulation pod, it’s better to die there than on the battlefield.”
That was what Li Ye had once told them.
With a thunderous blast of compressed air, multiple torpedoes were expelled from the tubes, bubbles bursting into a milky curtain across the observation windows.
The enemy submarine quickly reacted, immediately executing desperate evasive maneuvers.
But it was already too late. Multiple torpedoes struck, explosions sending shockwaves through its hull.
The pressure hull ruptured, letting out a deathly wail.
The entire submarine spewed oil and bubbles, its twisted propellers still spinning in vain. Accompanied by a series of implosions, the sonar showed the target breaking apart into several sections, sinking into the depths.
After confirming the destruction of the enemy submarine, cheers erupted inside the Deep-sea Hunter Submarine.
Upon receiving the , Li Ye also nodded.
“You’ve done well.”
He said.
“But don’t celebrate too much. There will be many more tough battles ahead.”
A few minutes later, Lin Wu came to find Li Ye, maneuvering his electric wheelchair, and put forward a suggestion.
Now that Tomorrow’s land, sea, and air combat forces were gradually being established, they would have to consider producing military field rations.
“What you said makes sense.” Li Ye nodded.
When speaking of military rations, the first things that came to his mind were compressed biscuits, energy gels, chocolate, and other high-calorie foods.
As for equipping large-scale kitchen facilities capable of preparing meals for hundreds, cold storage rooms to preserve large amounts of fresh vegetables and meat, vacuum packaging, vitamin supplements, high-protein energy bars…
Tomorrow could not afford such luxuries yet, nor was it capable of doing so.
Thinking of this, he could not help but sigh.
“To establish a proper military food system really is a long and arduous task.”
Then, something occurred to him, and he opened the System Panel.
By now, the sixth piece of intelligence should almost be refreshed.
Sure enough, the intelligence had already updated.
But upon seeing its content, Li Ye was instantly dumbfounded.
【6. In the Leviathan Ocean exists an Emperor-class Monster: the World Serpent Jörmungandr. Jörmungandr is so immense it could nearly encircle the entire ocean. For many years, this Emperor-class Monster had lain dormant in the Leviathan Ocean, but now it has begun to awaken. Warning: Jörmungandr is a World-class Emperor Monster. (Intelligence Value: Epic)】
“There really exists such an enormous Emperor-class Monster in this world?” His face darkened slightly. “World-class Emperor Monster? That means its combat power is already on par with world-class organizations?”
Meanwhile, in the distant Leviathan Ocean.
From the depths came a muffled roar, like a colossal drum echoing beneath the seafloor.
At first, only a few unusual whirlpools formed on the ocean surface. But soon, they expanded into massive vortices several kilometers wide.
The seawater began to boil.
Steam surged up, veiling the entire sky.
From beneath the waves, a mountain-sized shadow surfaced.
It was a head the size of a giant island.
It had golden vertical pupils like topaz, a body so long it seemed endless, and every arch of its serpent form towered higher than the greatest waves.
The Emperor-class Monster “World Serpent” Jörmungandr.
The largest Emperor-class Monster in existence.
When this Emperor-class Monster fully uncoiled its body, a terrifying sight emerged—its tail surfaced on the opposite horizon.
Head and tail connected, it encircled the entire ocean.
Seawater churned into ring-shaped currents because of her movement, even generating typhoons.
Every breath she took surged into hundred-meter-high tsunamis.
As the origin place of Giant Fish, the Leviathan Ocean teemed with countless massive marine creatures.
Hundreds of meters in length were but the starting point. Thousands were common. Tens of thousands were not rare.
Yet at this moment, all massive sea creatures were thrown into collective frenzy.
Because Jörmungandr was on the move.
This Emperor-class Monster cruised through the ocean with regal ease, like a sovereign patrolling her domain.
Every contraction and relaxation of her muscles raised waves, every scrape of her scales sent tremors resounding.
Her colossal head, like a floating island, occasionally surfaced, the breath from her nostrils forming storm clouds that lingered across the sky.
The topaz-colored vertical pupils were half-hidden in the sea mist, each blink like the alternation of night and day.
When she suddenly dove, the sea surface would sink sharply, forming a giant funnel tens of kilometers wide, swallowing everything around it. Then, minutes later, she would hurl the seawater skyward in an even more violent eruption, creating an unprecedented colossal fountain.
Encircling the entire ocean was not her limit—Jörmungandr was still evolving and growing.
According to the research of the Titan Throne, one day, this Emperor-class Monster’s body would grow to the extent of encircling the entire world.
In truth, even now, Jörmungandr’s colossal body had already become a threat to this world.
Every movement of this Emperor-class Monster was redefining the face of the world.
Like a child kneading clay—casual, yet cruel.
When she crawled across continental plates, whole plateaus and mountain ranges rose and fell like wrinkled blankets, some lowering by thousands of meters in just hours.
When she burrowed underground and swam through the mantle layer, the energy generated by her scales grinding against it was enough to vaporize the permafrost instantly.
When she passed across oceanic plates, countless islands were shoved aside like scattered chess pieces.
The crust cracked under her crushing weight with the brittle sound of shattering glass. Mountains crumpled like paper in a giant’s hand, rivers were forced to change course, and new canyons split across the highlands.
An inland sea widened by fifty kilometers in her wake, while some continental plates were pushed away like floating corks.
Such overwhelming might naturally made Jörmungandr a World-class Monster.
Both the human and monstrous World-class Organizations found her existence extremely troublesome.
Many years ago, Jörmungandr had burrowed into the mantle layer and entered a long slumber.
At that time, both humans and monsters alike let out a sigh of relief.
At least, the surface world could enjoy some peace.
But soon, the nightmare returned.
When Jörmungandr awakened and swam through the mantle, the heat generated by her scales grinding against it raised localized mantle temperatures by thousands of degrees.
These overheated regions would bulge upward through the crust, forming supervolcano clusters.
When they erupted, the volcanic ash blotted out the skies of entire regions.
Not only that, but the mantle’s convection system was thrown into complete disorder, geothermal cycles twisting into chaotic whirlpools.
In some places, mantle material spewed directly onto the surface, forming lava fountains thousands of meters high.
In others, the loss of material caused sudden collapses, creating sinkholes hundreds of kilometers across.
At that time, the planet was like the end of the world.
And now, Jörmungandr had merely stirred her body a little.
“What? You said that thing moved again?”
At the headquarters of the Apocalypse Sect, Cardinal Bishop Viktor was slightly taken aback.
This was originally detected by the Titan Throne’s research institute in the Leviathan Ocean, but the human World-class Organizations routinely shared intelligence. s about the movements of Emperor-class Monsters had already been delivered to him and the other Cardinal Bishops.
This great figure of the Apocalypse Sect was long accustomed to storms and upheavals.
A single Emperor-class Monster could not shake him. Even several would only make him raise an eyebrow.
What alone unsettled his usual calm were the Emperor-class Monsters of World-class level.
“Lord Viktor, if Jörmungandr is not dealt with in time, I fear…” a High-ranking Deacon said worriedly.
At this, Viktor instead laughed aloud.
“Young man, do you think World-class Monsters are something you can ‘deal with’ just because you want to?”
“This…”
Viktor waved his hand, signaling him not to panic.
“There’s no need to rush. We’ll figure out a way sooner or later. You young ones are always too hasty.”
Hearing this, the High-ranking Deacon’s anxiety eased somewhat.
Viktor casually lit a cigarette, falling into thought.
Before long, his brows furrowed deeply.
“Sigh, no matter how I think about it, this really is troublesome… a monster this huge…”
Before he could finish the cigarette, another High-ranking Deacon hurriedly knocked and entered.
“Lord Viktor, forgive my abrupt intrusion. At present, the Great Shaman Guiyin has already gone out of control. How should we proceed?”
Viktor scratched his head at this.
“If we want to remake the suppression device, it’ll take some time. Until then, just let him have his fun. After all, he’s been pent up for quite a while.”
Stunned for a moment, the High-ranking Deacon finally snapped back, stammering,
“Th-this… is that so?”
Viktor exhaled a smoke ring, extinguishing the cigarette in the ashtray.
“Of course.”
In front of this Cardinal Bishop, an Emperor-class Monster was naturally nothing to fuss over.
The perspective shifted to the distant Eastern Continent.
A nine-headed serpent was slowly moving among the mountains.
Its nine heads rose high together, like nine towering black peaks.
Where it passed, the ground collapsed, vegetation withered, and even rocks were corroded into honeycomb-like holes.
The Emperor-class Monster “Great Shaman” Guiyin.
Like Blue Star where Li Ye lived, this world also possessed Huaxia Civilization.
And the seat of Huaxia Civilization was the Eastern Continent.
Guiyin had evolved from a Wild BOSS of the Eastern Continent. For this reason, the researchers of the Titan Throne gave him this Huaxia-styled codename.
Based on years of tracking research, the Titan Throne had compiled approximate data on Guiyin.
This Emperor-class Monster’s body length was about 7 kilometers, its trunk diameter about 150 meters, its heads about 50 meters tall and 30 meters wide.
Its scales were 15 meters thick.
Its usual movement speed was 20–30 kilometers per hour.
But that did not mean Guiyin was slow.
By manipulating his Biological Field, he could unleash astonishing speed in bursts.
At the request of the other two World-class Organizations, the Titan Throne specially tested Guiyin’s combat power.
The strike of his tail carried the force of a magnitude-7 earthquake. The constriction pressure of his tail was about 8,000 tons per square meter.
As for his special ability—it was to manipulate ley lines and alter terrain.
Compared to Jörmungandr, Guiyin could practically be called a well-behaved child before the human and monstrous World-class Organizations.
Titan Throne, top-secret research base “Heart of Leviathan.”
In the command center, a tall, imposing elder stood with his hands clasped behind his back.
He was the person in charge of the Heart of Leviathan—Cain.
At this moment, the research base was receiving s from monitoring stations across the globe.
In the Central Continent, “Calamity” Tarlos, dormant for 123 years, had awakened.
In the Canglan Ocean, “Ashen Flame” Bart was rapidly ascending from the ten-thousand-meter trench.
In the Eastern Continent, “Great Shaman” Guiyin had forcibly destroyed all suppression devices and begun moving.
In the Taranis Ocean, “Endbringer” Ignit, after gnawing apart a seafloor volcano and stirring with frequent activity, had finally returned to slumber.
And in the Leviathan Ocean, the “World Serpent” Jörmungandr, encircling the seas, seemed to be stirring as well—but for now, had not yet set out.
