Chapter 422 Man-made
The tsunami surged and thunder roared, and although it was 3 p.m., the entire Haiyan Island seemed to be plunged into the polar night.

The storm was still roaring overhead. Lin Xian and KIKI hid behind the rocks, watching the seabed recede before the tsunami and the huge creature disappearing into the whirlpool in the distance. The next moment, a tsunami hundreds of meters high rushed straight in.

"pay close attention!"

Lin Xian and KIKI's power armor's impact protection devices activated, and the restraint mechanism fastened tightly to the reef. Then, in the next instant, it was as if the sea had poured in, and the entire beach, along with the mountains behind it, was completely submerged.

Whoosh! Glug glug~
The raging waves completely engulfed them. Instead of rushing into the sky, Lin Xian dodged the oncoming tsunami in the water before emerging from underwater. The two of them returned to the shore, skimming along the surging waves.

"The monster is gone!"

"Did it go into the sea or is it in the sky?"

Lin Xian's expression was tense. He had no idea where the giant ocean god was. Thunderclouds covered the sky, as if blocking out all the light. The sea was surging. Even though they were on the island, they felt no sense of security in such a scene.

“It should be… in the sea…” KIKI flew behind Lin Xian, looked back at the huge whirlpool in the deep sea in the distance, and said, “Fortunately, we haven’t been marked.”

"It's unimaginable how to deal with this monster. Even the Emperor Mech is like an ant in front of it." Lin Xian gritted his teeth and said, "But I just tried it and I can cut it. If we can solve the problem of the bio-force field, maybe we can try with a high-yield nuclear weapon."

"You're making it sound like we have nuclear weapons," KIKI said, looking terrified. "It's so strange, it just came straight at us, like it had a target that could see us."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xian's expression darkened slightly, a bad feeling creeping over him. He then spoke...
"Maybe they came specifically for us..."

"Then why did it run away again?"

"The devil knows."

They were still not completely out of danger. Lin Xian looked at the surging tsunami below with an urgent expression and said, "Find Shiori first, and then meet up with Teacher Chen."

"Ah."

The two flew along the mountain ridge toward the island, heading in the escape route they had previously set for Shiori, in order to find her.

At this moment, the storm began to weaken significantly, and suddenly the signal from Shiori's power armor appeared on Lin Xian's communication frequency. He immediately sent out a message.
"Shiori, where are you?"

"Sizzle... sizzle... Ah, Lin..."

The signal was intermittent. Lin Xian watched as the location marker on the screen appeared and disappeared, and it was moving towards the city. He immediately realized something was wrong.

"She's in danger, let's hurry!"

With the thrusters accelerating, Lin Xian and KIKI flew like two low-flying meteors, soaring over the mudslides brought by the tsunami and flying all the way from the jungle into the city. Instantly, eerie roars echoed in the dark streets below.

Lin Xian ignored it and stared intently at the coordinates on the screen, accelerating continuously. Soon, the two approached the moving Shiori. At this moment, a loud explosion sounded in front of them. Lin Xian looked up and saw Shiori speeding between several abandoned high-rise buildings. Behind her, several white-clad ghosts with some clothes still on were chasing her!

These monsters appeared to have undergone extreme mutations, with their limbs becoming beyond their limits and their faces melting. Through the gaps in Lin Xian's power armor, he discovered that the skin on these monsters was still rapidly stretching and changing, as if the mutation process was still ongoing.

"Watch out!!"

At this moment, Shiori realized Lin Xian's arrival and anxiously shouted to Lin Xian and the other person, "These people have extremely high peak levels of strange energy, they are very dangerous!"

"Rescue!"

Lin Xian and KIKI approached at high speed and made their move immediately. KIKI raised her hand and used her telekinesis to grab the three ghosts. However, this probing made Lin Xian and KIKI understand what Shiori had said. One of the ghosts sensed the threat of KIKI's telekinesis and suddenly leaped into the air, shooting out its arm in a twisted posture. In the next instant, its fingers transformed into dozens of thin, green protrusions that split and intertwined, carrying a green electric light as they rapidly approached KIKI and Lin Xian!

KIKI's pupils contracted slightly, and she quickly reached out and clenched her fist, concentrating her mental energy to freeze those slender synapses in front of her. At that moment, the green electric light on those synapses suddenly erupted densely, and a powerful energy fluctuation surged uncontrollably.

KIKI frowned, then twisted the air, directly reversing and pushing away the swarm of synapses. In the next instant, a green bioelectric arc exploded in the air, piercing through the air with an annihilating power. However, before it could expand, KIKI used her telekinesis to gather it all into a ball and smashed it back towards the monster.

boom!
The white-haired monster was slammed into a tall building by the psychic ball. Green lightning erupted, smashing half of its torso to pieces. The massive shockwave caused the building's exterior walls to collapse.

Lin Xian rushed towards Shiori to block the other two monsters. One of them, a monster with strange reverse legs, suddenly stomped through a section of the wall. The immense force caused a dent in the wall where it collapsed. Then, the monster shot towards Lin Xian like a cannonball at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye. At the same time, on Shiori's side, a monster with extremely high speed flew through the air behind her, closing the distance. This monster had four eyes on its face, which were now glowing red. It fired four beams at Shiori's power armor.

hum!
But the next moment, before those rays could hit Shiori, they were inexplicably swallowed by a black mass of space, and crimson light shone brightly through the lens.

Lin Xian used an AT field in mid-air to block the oncoming claws. With a loud bang, the huge impact force directly lit up the phase iris ring of the superstring reactor behind him. Lin Xian frowned coldly and saw the situation on Shiori's side. In a flash, he immediately summoned several mechanical arms out of thin air to hold the person in mid-air. Then, he pointed and the gravitational lens captured the ray and refracted it, splitting the person in front of him vertically!
Then he spread his five fingers, and the gravitational lens expanded dramatically, moving forward to swallow the four-eyed ray flying monster and crush it to pieces!

Lin Xian and KIKI swiftly dealt with the three humanoid monsters, and immediately took control of Shiori's power armor. The three of them flew towards the high mountains and dense forests.

“There are quite a few strange entities in the city, we need to avoid them first.” Lin Xian took a breath, looked at the Dark Marker, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there was no fluctuation.

"Wow, those three were really something else! They had at least 5000 peak power. Even one of them would be deadly for an ordinary convoy!" KIKI said to Shiori, "Shiori, how did you get targeted?"

Shiori shook her head and said, "I was just about to go to the beach to find you when they spotted me. At first... they looked a lot like humans, and they were even wearing power armor."

"Ah? You mean..."

“They all just mutated recently,” Lin Xian analyzed in a deep voice. “They probably can’t withstand the terrifying invasion of that giant ocean god. These people are quite strong, and the mutated humanoid monsters are even more difficult to deal with.”

“No wonder,” KIKI replied. “Who are these people, and why are they here?” Shiori then said, “When I was running away just now, I saw several small aircraft leaving. They should be… part of some kind of convoy. Their equipment looks very similar.”

“A convoy? Could it be the Holy City that Vanessa and the others were talking about?” Kiki asked.

"I don't know. It was too chaotic just now. These ghosts just appeared out of nowhere, so I think they might be working together."

"Stop first."

Lin Xian and his two companions stopped on a hillside, watching the sky gradually clear and the wind and clouds disperse, and turned back to say...
"There must be other people on this island, but the appearance of the Ocean God is too strange. Fortunately, the storm should be passing soon."

Lin Xian checked the time; it was not yet 16 PM. If the storm passed by now, it would still be daylight. Right now, he just hoped that Infinite and the other teams would not run into any problems.

Rumble.

The crimson thunderclouds slowly contracted like a festering wound, tearing several pale gaps in the darkness that had swallowed the sky. The murky seawater, carrying the ruins of the city, retreated, leaving behind bubbling black slime and twisted metal fragments on the beach.

"The tide has receded." KIKI looked at the distant coastline, and the roaring sea seemed to begin to quiet down, with only the rumbling sound of the receding tsunami remaining all around.

Lin Xian checked the Geiger index; the radiation concentration had decreased significantly, mechanical signals were beginning to recover, the sky was getting brighter, and sunlight streamed through gaps in the clouds, casting golden beams of light onto the sea, as if the devastating tidal wave had just been an illusion.

"Let's go!"

Once they confirmed that the situation was improving, Lin Xian and the other two immediately began flying towards the west coast of the connecting port. Before they even got close, all they could see were rows of destroyed streets and buildings. The streets had been smashed into ruins by the giant protrusions, and the earth was covered with deep ravines and scars, which looked particularly shocking.

The port's rail station had half of its dome completely collapsed. Seeing this, Lin Xian's heart sank, and he began to make contact using his communicator while still in the air.

"Teacher Chen, can you hear me?"

To his surprise, a tense voice immediately came through the communicator: "Lin Xian! Are you alright!"

"We're fine."

Lin Xian and KIKI exchanged a glance, and the group fell through the hole in the collapsed dome of the orbital station. They immediately saw the Infinity Ship amidst the debris and ruins.

Fortunately, although it was covered with a lot of glass shards, the Infinite looked intact, and the platform it was on had not completely collapsed. Chen Sixuan and Miao Lu, fully armed, got out of the car and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Lin Xian return.

"That's great, I was worried I wouldn't be able to reach you."

"Is everyone alright?" Lin Xian asked immediately upon seeing the situation. "Where are Qian Dele and the others?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Sixuan frowned and replied, "They had just rushed out before you arrived. We contacted Monica and Ning Jing's team through your drone link. It seems they encountered some trouble, and Qian Dele led a team to provide support."

After speaking, Chen Sixuan opened a holographic projection and displayed it in front of Lin Xian. The image showed the wreckage of a strangely shaped device that resembled a floating airship, with explosions all around it.

"What is this?" KIKI asked.

"Luo Yang said that this seems to be similar to the decoy device that Vanessa and the others used yesterday. We suspect that the storm just now was caused by this thing."

Chen Sixuan looked at Lin Xian with a serious expression: "Someone deliberately released it!"

Lin Xian's eyes flashed upon hearing this: "I'll go check. You guys stay in the car and don't go anywhere."

Chen Sixuan nodded: "Okay, the other party came prepared, you need to be careful."

Lin Xian saw the device in the image. Although it hadn't been mechanically scanned, he was already 8% certain that it was likely a large decoy, meaning that the group of people were probably after his Infinite.

Thinking of this, Lin Xian's heart sank. Although he was mentally prepared, he still found it hard to believe that a world-class disaster had occurred. He had to figure out what had just happened. This thing was listed as the 04th creature by the Phoenix Society. If they had encountered this thing during the defense of Dawn City, they would have had no chance of winning. But the incident with the human-demon made Lin Xian feel that this matter might not be so simple.

Without saying a word, he immediately took KIKI and Shiori and flew towards the main city, while contacting Qian Dele, Monica and others.

At this moment, after the storm, the city streets of Haiyan were torn apart into a mess. Twisted steel bars were exposed on the broken streets, and shards of glass glittered blindingly in the sunlight. The air was filled with the fishy smell of the sea and the burning smell of metal. In the distance, the sounds of violent fighting came from a commercial district in the coastal area. Supernatural abilities were unleashed, monsters roared, and guns and cannons exploded. Ning Jing's team was in the east, Monica's team was in the north, and Qian Dele's team of Lü Chang, Shu Qin, and Luo Yang were providing support from the west. Several blocks were engulfed in battle.

There were hundreds of Holy City Organization members dressed in black power armor, all fully armed, with various vehicles shuttling through the ruins, bullets flying, and superhumans flying from the sky and the ground. At the same time, a large number of Rifttails, Redbones, and mutated Holy City Organization members were launching indiscriminate attacks!

Monica stood on the edge of a half-collapsed high-rise building, her silver-white power armor gleaming coldly in the sunlight. She coldly fired a powerful sonic sword at the street below, instantly piercing the head of a sniper who was hiding on a rooftop three hundred meters away, preparing to fire.

"The east rooftop is cleared~" Her languid voice came through the communicator, yet her posture was as majestic as a queen.

She then looked down at the street, placed one hand on her earpiece, and said to Sasha:
"Sasha, shoot down their aircraft!"

"okay!"

Boom boom boom!
Sasa piloted the Flying Peach, unleashing a violent shockwave and a sense of oppression as she rapidly charged out from behind a building. Two high-energy plasma pulse ray guns fired blue pulses, directly blasting apart an armed aircraft that had just taken off. Then, she began bombarding the streets, relieving the pressure on the building.
