Chapter 56: Talking and Laughing
This battle was broadcast live globally.
"At this moment, Hong and Thor, the two most powerful warriors on Earth to date, are in the Pacific Ocean. Their target is the strongest monster in the sea—the one that devoured the Third War Base of the Indian Empire!"
From the Kyoto base city in China, to Europe, and then to the headquarters in America… all the surviving base cities and war bases around the world, and even underground shelters, all the huge public screens were simultaneously broadcasting the same scene. Countless people spontaneously prayed for the three strongest people on Earth.
Those were real-time images transmitted from military satellites deployed by the "Dome of Light" system, at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters.
In the scene, on the vast Pacific Ocean, two figures, as insignificant as dust, float on the surface. The dark blue water beneath their feet is chilling and unfathomably deep.
In the virtual space, in the highest conference room of the Ares Palace, holographic projections of all the world's parliamentarians and the heads of the five major powers gathered together. No one spoke; everyone's eyes were fixed on the central screen, the atmosphere heavy.
They knew very well that this battle would determine the life and death of everyone present, as well as the billions of people behind them.
Above the Mariana Trench.
Thor stretched his body, looked down at the purplish-black battle sword in his hand, grinned, and looked at Hong beside him: "Brother Hong, where did you get these body armor and battle sword? They're so much better than mine."
"I found this information during my exploration of the No. 12 ancient civilization site on the seabed, and I forgot to give it to you before."
Hong shook his head. On the way there, he gave Thor the personal armor and battle sword he had obtained from the Black Dragon Mountain X81 model ship during his exploration of Ruins No. 12.
I never expected that the final battle would take place in this location as well.
"Brother Hong, we're in the spotlight now, aren't we? So many eyes around the world are watching us."
Thor said with a grin.
"You're always grinning like that."
Hong wore a smile, his mind at that moment was more serene than ever before.
Hong looked down at the sea beneath his feet.
"Are you ready, Second Brother?" Hong slowly composed himself, his voice calm, as if asking a very ordinary question rather than as if a great battle was about to begin.
"I can't wait any longer!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Thor's smile vanished, and his expression turned extremely grim!
Purple lightning crackled and leaped wildly around him, turning the surrounding sky into an eerie purple.
The two no longer suppressed their emotions and released their full breaths!
"boom--!"
One force was an overwhelmingly domineering and violent will, as if it wanted to turn the world into a thunderous inferno!
The other is a deep realm that devours everything, seemingly capable of completely distorting even light!
Two completely different, yet equally powerful, star-level pressures slammed into the ten-thousand-meter-deep sea beneath their feet!
In an instant, the sea surface within a hundred miles churned and roared wildly! Countless seawater was instantly vaporized, forming a sky full of white mist, and giant waves as high as a thousand meters were forcibly pushed aside, spreading outwards with a thunderous roar!
This is merely the aftermath of the oppressive force.
A streak of light silently hovered on the horizon a hundred miles away.
Luo Feng stood on the Sky-Piercing Shuttle, with a silver-white body made entirely of liquid metal beside him faithfully performing its guard duties.
The moment the two pressures collided, Luo Feng, a third-level planetary-level cultivator, felt an overwhelming pressure hit him, almost causing him to fall off the Sky-Piercing Shuttle.
The pressure from two celestial bodies is so immense! Is this the power of the two strongest beings on Earth?
Luo Feng's heart began to pound uncontrollably.
He recalled what Hong had said when they were in the control center.
"Soul Secret Technique... Unexpected Move..."
Luo Feng took a deep breath, suppressing his thoughts. Now was not the time to think about these things. He focused his attention on the battlefield in the distance, which had become the center of an energy storm.
The fate of Earth's civilization rests on this moment!
……
The Mariana Trench is the deepest known point in the Pacific Ocean.
The No. 12 ancient civilization relic, that dilapidated space mothership, lies quietly on the seabed, emitting a faint metallic luster.
Beside the ruins, a colossal, dark golden beast of near-perfect size hovered above them, ready to feast on the "feast" rich in high-purity metals.
Suddenly, it stopped moving.
Two provocative auras pierced its vast mental perception.
A flicker of surprise flashed in the golden horned behemoth's dark golden vertical pupils, which were then replaced by endless rage and cruelty.
Since its birth, it has been the sole ruler. It devours metal to evolve itself; all other creatures here are no different from the ore beneath its feet, merely different forms of food.
Now, two "insects" actually dare to challenge its authority?
"roar--!!!"
A silent roar exploded into the deep sea, transforming into a tangible shockwave! The surrounding seawater seemed to freeze, forming a vacuum.
It gave up the delicious food in front of it.
Crushing those two clueless insects would bring it more pleasure than filling its stomach!
next second.
Its pair of fleshy wings covered with golden runes suddenly flapped, and it shot straight toward the sea, leaving a long golden tail in the water!
On the sea.
"They're here!"
Thor felt the violent aura rapidly approaching from the deep sea, but instead of being afraid, he excitedly licked his lips, and his body crackled with electricity!
Hong's eyes remained calm and still, but his knuckles were white from gripping the spear so tightly.
At this moment, his entire being had become one with the gun in his hand, reaching an unprecedented peak.
"What a terrifying aura! The Golden Horned Beast is too fast, it has already broken the 2 meters per second barrier, it's charging up!" In Luo Feng's mind, Babata's scream was tinged with a tremor.
"Luo Feng! The 'Dome of Light' weapon system is ready! The B6-level laser cannon's energy guidance system is fully activated and can lock onto targets at any time for a precision strike!"
"Understood!" Luo Feng replied in a deep voice.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye!
In just half a second!
"BOOM!!!"
Without warning, the sea beneath Hong and Thor's feet exploded with a deafening roar!
The entire sea area was violently lifted upwards by a brute force emanating from the seabed!
The towering water wall is tens of thousands of meters high. Under the sunlight, it looks like a crystal wall erected by the gods, as if it wants to pierce through the blue sky!
Immediately afterwards, a huge, ferocious head burst out from the spray of water!
Its dark gold scales shimmered with a cold, noble luster in the sunlight, each scale covered with runes of law. Two wisps of hair on its head emitted a chilling light.
As soon as it emerged from the water, it opened its gaping maw, wide enough to devour mountains!
"Innate Secret Technique - Devour!"
A terrifying suction force, so powerful that it visibly distorted space, instantly locked onto Hong and Lei Shen in mid-air!
The air was sucked out, and the light was distorted!
It actually wanted to use its inherited talent and secret techniques to swallow the two strongest people on Earth in one gulp!
