Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 376 "Divine Punishment" Electromagnetic Railgun: Firepower Covering the Entire Sea Area
The war continues.

Although the number of mutated sea monsters is extremely large, and can even be said to be endless, Zhenhai City, as a coastal city, especially after experiencing two spiritual energy tides, has an unimaginable level of firepower.

Even if these mutated sea monsters were numerous, they could not put any pressure on them.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

The terrifying barrage of fire filled the air with a pungent, burnt smell and a fishy stench.

The mountain of sea monster corpses had begun to obstruct the defensive line's vision, but even so, the soldiers' gun barrels continued to spew fire, relentlessly reaping the endless stream of mutated sea monsters.

As the director watched the battle footage on the big screen, his tense expression finally relaxed slightly.

Although the defense line is under tremendous pressure, it is able to maintain its position for the time being thanks to its modern firepower and well-trained combat troops, and maintain absolute suppression of the mutated sea monster tide.

The focus now is on the mutated sea serpent that is transforming into a dragon.

"Boom!!!"

The roar of the fifth thunderbolt seemed deafening even through the screen.

Above the sea where the mutated sea serpent was located, the thunderstorm vortex had expanded to a suffocating degree.

The blackish-purple lightning bolt, over a hundred meters in diameter, struck the already wounded body of the mutated sea serpent. Everyone saw it being struck, its flesh and blood flying everywhere, and large patches of newly grown bluish-purple scales peeling off its nearly hundred-meter-long body.

The most horrifying thing was the penetrating wound in his abdomen, which was nearly ten meters in diameter. Through the wound, you could even see the pulsating organs inside.

"hiss!!!"

The mutated sea serpent let out a heart-wrenching roar, the pain contained in its voice sending chills down their spines.

Its body writhed wildly on the sea, creating towering waves, and its purplish-red blood stained large areas of the sea dark.

But the single horn on its head shone even brighter than before.

"My spiritual power has exceeded 300,000!"

"Despite being severely injured, his spiritual power was not only unaffected, but continued to increase."

"Does a tribulation lightning really provide such a significant boost to an individual?"

"If it has such a huge amount of spiritual power even when it is seriously injured, then if it survives the entire lightning tribulation and its injuries are healed, how terrifying will its spiritual power become?"

The researcher had been observing the mutated sea serpent's spiritual power, which continued to rise even as it was severely injured during the lightning tribulation.

This is very unscientific.

Because serious injuries will inevitably affect an individual's spiritual power, unless you deliberately avoid using spiritual power to repair your body.

But who would do that?

Even if you don't survive the tribulation, it's normal to try your best to recover your strength after each lightning strike in order to prepare for the next one, right?
The mutated sea serpent did the same thing, but its spiritual power level kept increasing instead of decreasing.

Is the improvement that great for an individual after a tribulation of lightning?
Even when he expends as much spiritual energy as possible to repair his body, he still maintains an increase in his spiritual energy level.

You don't even need to wait until you survive the tribulation; you can level up once for every lightning strike during the process.
This doesn't seem very scientific at all, does it?
"That's not something we should be concerned about right now."

The director of the Tian Shu Bureau of Zhenhai City interrupted the researcher in a deep voice and looked at another person.

"Has the relevant situation been reported to the Capital Tian Shu General Bureau?"

"Report complete!"

The other party responded immediately and said:
"The Imperial Capital Bureau has coordinated with the Tian Shu Bureau of nearby cities for support; Lena, the Sunlight from the original 'Super Soldier' ​​world, and Gu Che are rushing here at full speed."

"Rena?"

The director of the Tian Shu Bureau in Zhenhai City raised an eyebrow, recalling the characters in "Super Soldier" in his mind, and a knowing look appeared in his eyes.

The chief god of the Lieyang civilization, the captain of the Super Soldier Corps, possesses the power to drive stellar energy.

It can even accelerate the death of a star by continuously driving its flare activity, eventually leading to a supernova explosion.

With her intervention, this crisis should be resolved.

But when he looked at the monitor screen again, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

In the scene, although the mutated sea serpent became increasingly powerful due to the lightning tribulation, its injuries were actually getting more and more severe.

No matter how vast its spiritual power is, without the ability to "self-heal," its injury recovery speed may not be very fast.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have had such a difficult time enduring the lightning tribulation.

"Chief, what are you thinking about?"

The deputy director of the Tian Shu Bureau in Zhenhai City keenly noticed his unusual behavior.

The director's fingers tapped unconsciously on the control panel, his eyes growing deep: "I'm thinking that this mutated sea serpent that is transforming into a dragon is currently in its weakest state."

The Tian Shu Bureau immediately fell silent, and everyone understood his unspoken meaning.

A severely injured mutated sea beast, whose strength had reached the fourth rank and was transforming into a "dragon," was currently enduring the torment of a lightning tribulation, making it its most vulnerable moment.

The temptation is just too great.

"But... Lena and Gu Che are already on their way."

Some people hesitated.

After all, they couldn't be sure that if they acted now, they would definitely be able to kill the mutated sea serpent.

If they fail, regardless of whether Zhenhai City is ultimately affected by the mutated sea serpent, the blame will fall on them. "By the time they arrive, the mutated sea serpent may have already completed its transformation."

"Do you really think a dragon with the potential to reach the fifth rank would coexist peacefully with our Zhenhai City?"

The bureau chief said coldly.

Indeed, this mutated sea serpent had not shown any malice towards humans before, and they were unaware of its existence until today.

Perhaps after it survives the tribulation and transforms into a dragon, it will have no interest in Zhenhai City whatsoever.

But what about the future?
In the future, if it becomes interested in land and even invades Zhenhai City, how will they resist?

Should we continue waiting for reinforcements?

But how many people will die while waiting?

Moreover, it's one thing if they didn't know before, but now that they know about this mutated sea serpent, are they just going to do nothing and watch it transform into a dragon?
"I know what you're worried about."

"They are worried about taking responsibility, afraid of facing the unknown, and even more unwilling to put Zhenhai City in danger because of their own decisions."

The director of the Tian Shu Bureau in Zhenhai City surveyed the bureau, his gaze fixed on them, his voice deep and powerful.
"But I must tell you, the moment this mutated sea serpent appeared, it was destined that we would have a battle in the future!"

"Now, even in its weakest moment, we dare not act because of our timidity."

"What about the future? When it fully transforms into a fifth-order dragon and attacks Zhenhai City, we won't have to bear any responsibility, but how many people will die then?!"

His voice suddenly rose in pitch.

At this moment, on the big screen, the sixth bolt of lightning had just struck down, and the mutated sea serpent's body twisted in pain amidst the lightning. Large patches of newly formed scales peeled off its partially dragon-like body, revealing the charred flesh beneath.

"How can we allow others to snore on the side of the bed?"

"Take a full inventory of all weapons and prepare a strike plan; once it has withstood the next strike, launch a full-scale attack immediately!"

"I will personally submit a report to the Imperial Capital's Tian Shu General Bureau!"

"I will take full responsibility."

"Execute my orders immediately! All missiles, including those with small mushroom-shaped warheads!"

The bureau chief's gaze swept over everyone present, his tone icy.

"I refuse to believe that while enduring the lightning tribulation, it can withstand the full firepower of Zhenhai City!"

The weapons of the Great Xia Dynasty have now been revamped after cooperating with the Angelic Civilization and taking into account the unique abilities of some superhumans in the era of spiritual energy revival.

The power of the mushroom egg lies in its yield. Theoretically, if the yield is sufficient, there is no upper limit to the power of the mushroom egg, so it remains the most lethal weapon for mankind today.

However, this does not mean that they have not developed other equally deadly weapons.

"Reporting, Director! The 'Heavenly Punishment' electromagnetic railgun has completed charging!"

Following the order from the director of the Tian Shu Bureau of Zhenhai City, the operator immediately began to charge the electromagnetic railgun.

The bureau chief squinted and looked at the huge electromagnetic gun device on the surveillance screen.

This super weapon, costing as much as an aircraft carrier, is an ultimate weapon that only coastal cities and some inland cities are equipped with.

Its initial velocity can reach three kilometers per second, and it releases a destructive psionic shockwave upon hitting its target.

Even a third-order mutated creature would be torn to shreds in an instant; even a fourth-order being could not ignore its power.

At the very least, this mutated sea serpent, which is already nearing its limit, cannot be ignored.

Many weapons in the Great Xia Dynasty are difficult to use on land, and even in many cities, people dare not use them easily, even when the beast tide is outside the city. However, Zhenhai City is different. Since the battlefield is at sea, there are not so many concerns.

"Open fire immediately! Saturation attack!"

The director of the Tian Shu Bureau of Zhenhai City issued the order directly.

In an instant, the entire offensive and defensive system of Zhenhai City was activated.

On the high coastal wall, dozens of concealed gun muzzles suddenly opened, their dark barrels protruding from the armored bunkers in a fan shape, completely covering the entire sea area within their firing range.

"First salvo, fire!"

As the sound rang out, deafening artillery fire tore through the sky.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

The shockwave from the explosion forced dozens of craters, each a hundred meters in diameter, into the sea surface. The mutated sea monsters still in the water were instantly torn to shreds by this barrage of fire.

Dark purple blood and severed limbs shot into the sky under the impact of the shockwave, and then crashed back onto the sea like a torrential rain under the pull of gravity.

Immediately afterwards, missile silos hidden throughout the coastline were simultaneously activated.

Countless missiles, trailing long plumes of flame, soared into the sky, tracing deadly arcs.

These missiles suddenly split as they approached the target area, releasing hundreds of small warheads that covered the entire sea area like a shower of flowers.

"Bang Bang Bang!!!"

Amidst the continuous explosions, crimson flames rose from the sea.

The blooming of each "flower" meant the death of countless mutated sea beasts. The larger mutated sea beasts let out mournful roars, only to be blasted into mincemeat by countless missiles in the next second.

However, these mutated sea beasts that were blown to pieces were just byproducts; their only target was the mutated sea serpent that was transforming into a dragon!
