Chapter 421 Ocean God

Lin Xian was now absolutely certain that the creature in the clouds he saw was, according to the Phoenix Society's standards, definitely a world-class disaster!
He never expected that this terrifying, world-destroying creature would suddenly appear above the airspace above Sea Rock Island on such a sunny afternoon.

Without warning, it instilled despair.

"Watch out, hide!"

Woohoo!

The wind howled and the sea surged, and Lin Xian and the other two seemed to feel the air and the island trembling.

At this moment, strange noises came from all over the island's ridges, coastlines, and distant urban areas, giving Lin Xian a sense of oppression as if he had returned to Star Abyss No. 5.

"What's that thing supposed to do?!"

KIKI's eyes widened as she followed the imposing silhouette of the dark figure high in the distance, accompanied by flashing lightning, and exclaimed in disbelief, "Could it be coming for us?"

Shiori, standing nearby, released a green light that enveloped both of them, resisting the violent, bloody winds and radiation, and said nervously.
“I felt like no one was paying attention to us.”

Lin Xian immediately tensed up, clenching his fists, and said, "That area is an orbital station, this is bad..."

"What do we do?!" KIKI turned around upon hearing this, her face pale. "Sister Chen and the others are all over there!"

Boom! !

The deafening roar of thunder in the sky brought oppressive sound waves and ionization, making it feel as if the entire island was swaying and trembling in the waves. Under the terrifying storm, ordinary people did not even have the courage to look up. Lin Xian's heart was racing at this moment, and he immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Save people, then use the Sky Train to evacuate!"

"Lin Xian!"

Before he could finish speaking, KIKI suddenly shouted. Lin Xian looked up and saw that the sky was ablaze with fire, the dome was pressed down by thunderclouds, and a giant tsunami hundreds of meters high was rising from the coast and rushing towards the western coastal ridge. As the thunder roared, a giant shadow appeared on the mountain peak on their side in an instant, like a master floating outside the atmosphere.

In an instant, Lin Xian felt as if all the sounds in the world had disappeared for a moment, and the next moment he heard Shiori's exclamation through his earphones.

"It's coming towards us!"

air!
In the blink of an eye, Lin Xian's nano-powered armor propulsion system was fully activated, and he instinctively grabbed KIKI and Shiori and propelled them into the valley behind him!

"Ah!" KIKI let out a soft shout at the same time, and a violent psychic wave suddenly shook out, instantly flattening half of the hill where they had just been, and rushing away with powerful kinetic energy.

In that instant, the combined speed of Lin Xian and KIKI caused the power armor's load to exceed 12G. Shiori felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, blood gushing from her mouth and nose, and she was carried thousands of meters away from where she stood.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw a giant wave hundreds of meters high crashing over the mountain peaks, and two sky-covering tentacles beneath the dark clouds sweeping down as if they were about to obscure the sky!
boom! !

The next moment, the entire mountain ridge collapsed with a roar, and the waves and sand, carrying enormous kinetic energy, rushed directly into the sky, as if the earth had collapsed.

The sudden destruction happened almost instantly. Even though Lin Xian and KIKI coordinated perfectly and retreated at top speed, they were still blown away by the shockwave and rushed into a forest.

KIKI's psychic shield, like a burning sphere, protected the three of them as they crashed into the forest floor, creating a crater over a hundred meters long!

Drop drop!
[Energy overload! Energy overload!]

The Lin Xian Power Armor's system kept issuing alarms.

"Damn it, why does this thing seem to be looking for me?!"

The movement of the Oceanus was like a meteorite falling to earth, and in an instant it would cross the atmosphere and destroy half of the western coastal mountain range. Lin Xian and his two companions could only flee hastily like mosquitoes in front of it, and even the shock wave it generated could cause their power armor to exceed its limit.

Chi!
Before the tsunami and mountain collapse had stopped, Lin Xian took off again. The three of them unleashed powerful propulsion in their power armor, breaking the sound barrier in seconds and soaring out from the dust storm of collapsing mountains.

"We weren't marked?"

KIKI, who was flying beside Lin Xian, said at this moment.

"The devil knows!"

Lin Xian had no time to think about these things. He turned around to observe the fierce shadow approaching from the sky. But then a loud noise erupted in the sky, like a thunderclap. In the next instant, a black tentacle pierced down vertically from the rain like a skyscraper!

"careful!"

KIKI reacted first, raising her hand and unleashing a powerful shockwave at Lin Xian and Shiori, sending them flying. In the next instant, the giant tentacle slammed down, its surface flashing with a dark red ionized field. Even though KIKI was enveloped in a psychic shield, she was still sent flying by the impact. In front of the giant tentacle, the three of them were instantly swallowed up by the violent shockwave, like mayflies.

boom!
The tentacle blasted directly into the mountain ridge from the thunderclouds in the sky, like a divine punishment. In an instant, it caused a hill several hundred meters high to collapse in sections, with the surface rocks and mudslides pouring down, as if it were the end of the world.

"Oh shit!"

Lin Xian, who had been blasted away, was now in a state of turmoil. While remotely controlling Shiori's power armor to fly away in the opposite direction, he suddenly stretched out his right hand towards the black tentacle hanging in the sky, grabbed at the air, and with a series of swishes, three superstring reactor phase rainbow rings lit up behind him. He shouted, "Girl, get out of the way!"

hum!
In an instant, a black mechanical gate burst open in the sky. The next moment, a giant mechanical arm wielding the Vermilion Bird Plasma Diffraction Sword stretched out from the gate. Hundreds of engines on the mechanical arm roared, and the rocket engine at the elbow exploded with high-speed Mach rings, propelling the heavy mechanical right arm to explode and accelerate. The right arm of this modified Xuanwu mecha gripped the crimson divine sword tightly, and under the high-speed acceleration, it rubbed against the air and turned slightly red. With a single slash, it directly slashed across the black tentacle!
Empty!
The plasma diffraction sword's earth-shattering slash collided with the dark red ionization field on the tentacle, unleashing thousands of electric arcs and high-temperature molten metal, instantly illuminating the entire coastline in the torrential rain. Lin Xian remotely controlled this void slash, actually cutting a huge gap of 1/3 on the tentacle, and the lightning and ionization on it disappeared instantly along with the tremors of the rain waves!

Just as Lin Xian felt he had seized an opportunity and was preparing to retreat, he suddenly heard a loud, explosive sound like energy booming from the sky. The next moment, an extremely violent dark energy surged down from the tentacle like a lightning strike, pouring into the ground, where the dark energy condensed!

Lin Xian's gaze sharpened upon seeing this scene, and he sensed something was wrong.

The next moment, the tentacle shot straight to the center of the mountain range, flashing a dazzling white light, and a visible, tangible explosive wave, carrying destructive lightning, radiated outwards!
big Bang!
KIKI was about to assist Lin Xian when she was instantly blasted away in mid-air.
"Lin Xian..."

Seeing the raging lightning strike, KIKI's face turned pale, and she even stopped breathing for a moment.

In Lin Xian's eyes, time seemed to slow down for a moment. He looked at KIKI who was blasted away, gritted his teeth and stared at the dark sea. The next moment, both of them were swallowed by destruction.

Shiori, who had flown far away, tried to control her power armor to return and provide support, but the power armor was in a state of complete intelligent control, and she couldn't operate it at all.

Shiori turned around and watched as Lin Xian and KIKI were engulfed by the huge explosion. Her face immediately turned pale.

"Lin Xian!"

"Quickly...quickly deactivate the intelligent control."

[Level 3 crisis remote control mode has been activated; manual takeover is not possible.]

“This…how could this happen?”

Just then, the power armor suddenly transmitted a message: "Remote control disconnected, switching to autonomous mode."

Shiori snapped out of her daze and realized her power armor wasn't being remotely controlled. Flight had abruptly stopped, and she immediately realized Lin Xian's remote control had failed. Just as she was about to try calling him back, the explosive force of the impact sent her flying again, and everything went black. *Beep beep beep beep*
After an unknown amount of time, Shiori finally woke up from her coma, only able to hear the alarm inside her power armor and her own breathing.

[Early Warning of Vital Signs]

[Cardiopulmonary condition stable, minor head injury]

[7 abrasions on the skin]

[The power armor is airtight.]

"Cough cough cough!" Shiori propped herself up from the pile of rubble. The joints of her nano-powered armor made a grinding sound. Only then did she realize that she was buried under a pile of boulders. If it weren't for this armor, the shockwave would have turned her into a pile of mud.

When she looked up at the sky, her breath suddenly stopped.

The dark shadow stretching across the sky was slowly shrinking in the thunderclouds. Countless enormous tentacles covered the sky and moved through the clouds. The mountains ahead were shattered, and the collapsing rocks were being pushed forward together with the hundred-meter-high tsunami. Wherever they passed, even the reinforced concrete ruins were crushed into powder.

"Lin Xian...KIKI!"

Shiori's expression changed drastically. Facing the oncoming tsunami, she directly piloted her power armor to fly into the sky. Her black tentacles had already disappeared into the sky. The HUD kept flashing a red warning of "[Signal Searching]", but there was no signal from Lin Xian or KIKI at all.

Uh-huh! !
Amidst the mudslide, Shiori suddenly spotted several strange, churning figures. In a panic, she immediately flew away and hid atop a steel signal tower on a mountainside. Now isolated and helpless, she could neither contact Lin Xian and KIKI nor anyone else. Faced with the surging monsters, she could only dodge them first and then search along the mountainside towards the site of the previous explosion.

Lin Xian felt as if he had died for a moment. The first time he used the amplified [Energy Leap], he felt dizzy like when he used Blink Bullet. The difference was that he had no idea how far he would move after using the skill, or what the side effects would be.

He felt as if his brain had completely lost its sense of direction and gravity at that moment, and in a dizzying spin, he found himself in another place.

Gululu~
The sound of water pressure made Lin Xian realize that he was definitely in the sea. Outside the holographic interface of the power armor was a pitch-black abyss. His breath hit the screen, and Lin Xian felt a warm sensation coming from the life support system. The oxygen system and the pressurization system started working at the same time.

[Current water depth 327 meters, water pressure 42.7 MPa. A nano-negative pressure layer has been activated to counteract water pressure deformation.]

[Oxygen reserves at 71%, deep oxygen maintenance system activated]

The power armor's elbow-mounted vector nozzles automatically adjust the spray angle to counteract the deep Pacific cold currents and offset the pull of undercurrents, preventing it from sinking.

Seeing his current predicament, Lin Xian immediately began searching for KIKI.

"KIKI!"

He discovered that KIKI was online, so he immediately turned on the lights and called out. But the next moment, KIKI suddenly reached out and blocked the spotlight on Lin Xian's mask.

"Turn off the lights!" KIKI's voice was urgent. Upon hearing this, Lin Xian immediately realized the danger and turned off the lights.

The feeling of being in the deep sea was somewhat terrifying, even worse than when he was teleported into space. The seawater was icy cold and the water pressure was immense.

At this moment, Lin Xian and KIKI remained silent, and KIKI's voice came through the earphones.

"Behind us..."

Lin Xian nodded upon hearing this: "I'll have the drones distract them."

"Ah."

He didn't know the current situation, but since they were at sea, the drones could scout ahead and also help them attract targets.

Lin Xian immediately released a deep-sea drone and slowly drove it backward. As soon as the machine left, it immediately transmitted an alarm.

[Giant, bizarre life form spotted ahead]

Lin Xian and KIKI turned around, their expressions immediately changed, and they pulled KIKI to a stop.

Above the deep-sea drone, a pentagonal, gaping maw suddenly appeared, with countless eyes extending along its edge. It was a giant starfish floating in the deep sea, looking like an alien creature, hundreds of meters long. It moved vertically forward, its giant eyes illuminated by the drone's lights, slowly rotating. The next moment, the maw, filled with countless sharp teeth, rapidly split open, extending hundreds of slender tentacles to capture the drone directly, then quickly dragging it into the maw.

The deep sea was pitch black once again.

"What a huge starfish..."

"Do not move."

Lin Xian, holding KIKI's hand, manipulated the power armor's propulsion system to slowly retreat and increase its altitude, moving towards the water's surface.

Looking back, they saw even more giant starfish, as if they were marching in the deep sea, a scene that was eerie and terrifying, sending chills down their spines.

Rumble.

At this moment, a huge undercurrent surged from the deep ocean, as if the seabed was experiencing an earthquake. The water was turbulent. Lin Xian looked at the scanner on his power armor and seemed to detect some giant creature diving down in the distance, causing the waves to surge.

“It’s that world-class creature!” KIKI exclaimed.

"Absolutely."

After retreating from the range of those terrifying abyssal starfish, Lin Xian immediately prepared to activate the thrusters to leave this sea area. Just then, his gaze suddenly caught a strange, slender figure emitting a faint silver light, shooting straight down from above the water like a sharp sword.

Lin Xian immediately recognized the thing as the alien-like humanoid monster they had encountered at Takow Deepwater Port.

KIKI noticed it too, and immediately manipulated her psychic power to form a psychic bubble that enveloped the two of them. However, the monster seemed not to notice Lin Xian and KIKI at all, and fled directly into the deep ocean. The strangest thing was that the monster's whole body was as if it was wrapped in an opaque, round, spindle-shaped bubble, without stirring up any ripples, and it disappeared into the deep ocean at an unimaginable speed.

At the same time, the violent underwater earthquake began to surge even more fiercely, and the entire deep sea area began to darken. The undercurrents and whirlpools began to frantically swallow the two of them as they fell deeper. Lin Xian made a decisive decision and immediately activated the thrusters with KIKI, fleeing towards the surface at top speed.

"How did that thing follow us? Could it be related to the Oceanus?" KIKI asked reflexively.

"Get out of the water first!"

Lin Xian used energy jump to escape, rushing into the deep sea. It seemed that the distance was several kilometers. Even though he had just activated the superstring reactor phase ring and used all his strength, the distance was still beyond his expectations. Fortunately, he saved KIKI at the critical moment of the explosion. At this moment, Lin Xian did not want to stay in this strange deep ocean. He just wanted to rush out of the water as soon as possible.

The power armor's pressurization device worked rapidly, helping Lin Xian balance the changes in water pressure. At the same time, thanks to the heat exchanger, his body temperature was not affected even in the icy deep water.

Fortunately, he equipped the team with complete interstellar-level power armor this time, each one comparable to Iron Man, otherwise they would not have such survivability.

Soon, Lin Xian and KIKI emerged from the water. The sea was boiling, with waves tens of meters high surging and crashing in the storm. The dark Pacific Ocean seemed to be unleashing its furious waves, and thunder rumbled in the sky. In the distance, a colossal monster roared in the sea amidst the lightning and storm. Each of its enormous tentacles could capsize a cruise ship. Its entire form was obscured at a glance. The giant ocean god seemed to stand between the sea and the atmosphere, displaying its majestic and evil god-like body to the world. Just one look at it was enough to drive one's sanity crazy.

Seeing this, Lin Xian immediately flew towards the shore with KIKI, skimming along the surging waves. Amidst the raging tsunami, the two hid behind a giant rock reef. Looking back, they discovered that this world-class disaster seemed to be slowly submerging, moving along the seabed towards the depths of the Pacific Ocean. It seemed that KIKI was right; that direction was exactly where the silver monster had left!
