Chapter 246 The Emperor Monster "Xuanwu" (4K)

For the next two days, everything was relatively quiet.

While Li Ye dispatched troops to clear out the demons in the peninsula area, he also collected wild resources and metal resources.

When the seventh piece of intelligence was updated, he was dumbfounded.

7. The reason the Emperor Monsters are so active is to determine the true "King of Monsters." Their battle takes place in the Ruins of Return. (Intelligence Value: Epic)

Surprised, Li Ye also felt a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings).

King of Monsters.

Just hearing about it is incredibly awe-inspiring; I wonder which imperial monster will ultimately prevail.

"But then again, just how many imperial monsters are coming to Guixu Continent?" He couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

On closer inspection, it's not such a bad thing after all.

Guixu Continent was originally a continent controlled by the monsters, or rather, the demon civilization. Li Ye couldn't wait for the emperor monsters to cause trouble, and even for the trouble to escalate.

At that time, the alliance will have a chance to take advantage of the chaos.

At this very moment, on the plateau in the heart of Arctic Asia.

Due to the Spider Demon civilization's "End Web," this plateau has collapsed beyond recognition.

But if you listen carefully, there seems to be a faint tremor in the plateau.

It appears to be the heartbeat of some kind of giant creature.

At first, there were only continuous muffled thuds, but as time went on, the heartbeats grew louder and louder.

Unbeknownst to them, the peaks of the plateau began to tremble.

The snow on the summit began to fall silently, countless mountain cliffs cracked open with deep fissures, and the geomagnetic field became disordered, causing birds and beasts to flee.

then
Several mountain peaks collapsed as a result.

A colossal, black object slowly rose up. It was made of ancient basalt and covered with crystallized crust. Each of its plates was larger than a city. As it rose, the ground groaned under its weight, and the surface of the land undulated like waves for hundreds of kilometers.

A gigantic head then appeared.

Its head has a pair of vertical pupils like abyssal vortexes. Wherever its gaze falls, the air freezes into ice crystals, and the clouds are condensed into vortexes by an invisible force.

At the same time, the ground on the other side of the mountain suddenly exploded.

From the beast's tail—a slumbering serpent burst forth from the earth with a roar, the sound of its scales rubbing together like a thousand swords being drawn from their sheaths. The serpent roared to the sky, its venomous saliva turning into black ice, which corroded deep, bottomless pits as it fell to the ground.

The Emperor Monster - Xuanwu - has now appeared.

This imperial monster was far larger than the Fire Eater Gidon, with a body length exceeding 3000 meters and a tortoise shell resembling a moving mountain range.

Its appearance is that of a dragon with a snake's head and neck, with huge feet like pillars supporting the sky, and a tail that is a giant snake hundreds of meters long.

Xuanwu's main attack method is to spew out extremely cold frost mist, instantly freezing the target area. Conversely, the cracks in its back shell can release a torrent of heat energy that melts everything.

Like the emperor-like monster "Great Witch" Ghost Hidden, Xuanwu also originated from Donghua Continent.

More than a hundred years ago, this imperial monster underwent a long migration and finally arrived at the Frigid Continent to enter a period of hibernation.

Terranis Ocean.

On a small island, a monitoring station at the Titan Throne was operating as usual.

The researchers chatted about recent events while drinking coffee.

There's no need to worry about the monitoring station being exposed, as it has camouflage and signal jamming devices, and the island it's located on is extremely remote.

The only slightly unnatural thing is that the sea where the island is located is very deep.

That's why the monitoring station is here; it's responsible for monitoring someone.

One researcher was stunned when he saw the surface of the coffee in his hand start to wobble unnaturally.

"Is this still an earthquake?" he asked instinctively.

"Probably," another colleague replied slowly.

A young female researcher sitting by the window subconsciously turned her head to look outside.

The sea surface began to tremble slightly.

Seconds later, the seawater within a radius of hundreds of miles began to rotate strangely counterclockwise, forming a huge whirlpool with a diameter of over fifty kilometers. The water level at the center of the whirlpool continued to drop, exposing dark deep-sea trenches.

Immediately afterwards, eight giant shadows slowly rose from the depths of the vortex. Each tentacle had star-like patterns flowing across its surface. The countless tiny suckers covering the tentacles continuously compressed the nearby seawater into dense liquid crystals, causing it to fall back to the surface like rain.

Deep within the vortex, a massive shadow was slowly rising.

The first thing to pierce the surface of the sea was a long, spire-like horn, its surface covered with a cuticle layer formed by a mixture of coral and marine algae. As the seawater surged violently, a shell resembling a conch shell, several kilometers in length, gradually emerged from the water. The surface of the shell was covered with grooves of varying depths, from which flowed fluorescent biological mucus that refracted an eerie blue-green light in the sunlight.

The Emperor Monster, the Finale "Ignite," has arrived.

According to observations and records from the Titan Throne, this imperial monster was approximately 5000 meters long, with a carapace diameter of 3200 meters and a mass of approximately 18 billion tons.

Its appearance is like a hybrid of a giant octopus and a conch shell—according to the Titans' specifications, this imperial monster should be called a "super-giant cephalopod-crustacean symbiont".

Ignatius typically inhabits deep seas at depths of 6000-10000 meters, occasionally surfacing for fresh air.

Most of the time, this imperial monster was quite well-behaved. It simply stayed quietly in the deep waters of the Terranis Ocean, hardly making any movement.

However, according to the records of the Throne of Titans, Ignite experienced two battles.

The opponent is also a Monarch Monster.

One is called Rak the Defeated, and the other is called Galactus the Star Destroyer.

Ignite's method of dealing with his opponents is very simple: he mainly uses his tentacles, which are hundreds of meters long.

Although it is singular, it is extremely lethal.

According to Titan Throne's speculation, Ignite's single tentacle could exert a binding force of around 400 million tons, which would be too much for even the Emperor Monster to withstand.

In addition, everyone was extremely curious about one other point.

That was Ignite's true form.

This imperial monster concealed most of its body inside its massive shell, leaving only eight powerful tentacles exposed.

It usually moves, forages, and fights using its tentacles, and never reveals its true form.

There's no need to worry about it not being able to see; after all, the Emperor Monster's perception has always been unparalleled.

In an attempt to uncover the true identity of Ignite, the Titan Throne once sent a submarine to use a high-level scanner on it.

However, the scanner only showed a blurry shadow, making it impossible to discern the true structure of Ignite.

At first, everyone was puzzled, but they quickly realized what was going on.

This imperial monster used its bio-force field to shield itself, hindering detection by human high-tech instruments.

But it is precisely because of Ignite that the Titan Throne becomes even more curious.

A senior professor at the T6 level volunteered to wear a deep-sea diving suit and dive into Ignite's shell to observe its true form visually.

The results of the observations will be communicated to the organization orally by him.

After much persuasion from the organization's leadership, they finally managed to dissuade the old professor.

Although they had an endless desire to study the Monarch Monster, they also valued their own lives and those of their colleagues.

The camera cuts back to the monitoring station.

"Oh no! How did Ignite suddenly start moving?" a researcher exclaimed frantically. "Didn't the detection instruments show that it was still on the seabed 10,000 meters below the surface?"

The others also looked utterly bewildered. It wasn't entirely their fault for neglecting their duties; while chatting over coffee, everyone was focused on their work.

All the instrument data and screens at the monitoring station showed that Ignite was still perfectly fine on the seabed.

Clearly, this imperial monster has once again used its biofield to deceive people.

Everyone was thrown into chaos.

In the midst of the chaos, the female researcher who had been sitting by the window was the first to regain her composure.

"Report! We must report!" she said urgently.

Turning her head, she saw that the stationmaster had already turned on the communication device and contacted the Leviathan Heart research base.

"The higher-ups have already given the instructions," a lazy man's voice came from the other end of the phone. "These big guys are headed for Guixu Continent. It's monster territory anyway, so let them cause trouble!"

Guixu Island, Peninsula District, Tomorrow.

Led by Lin Xia, Li Ye arrived at a newly opened shop.

It turned out to be a small supermarket.

There is a counter at the entrance of the supermarket with several rows of shelves, on which are displayed various items for clothing, food, housing and transportation.

A strange light appeared in Li Ye's eyes.

After multiple rounds of purchasing and looting, Tomorrow's ship has accumulated so many common and level 1 items that it can now open a mini-supermarket.

Although it's far inferior to Earth, it's already quite impressive to have achieved this level of development in the wasteland.

Perhaps in the future, a large shopping mall might be opened on the Tomorrow.

Looking at the small supermarket, he always felt that something was missing.

After some thought, Li Ye finally came up with an idea.

"This counter at the entrance is missing a QR code!"

Given that the technological level of mobile cities gradually improves with each level, it should be possible to place QR codes and implement mobile payments within the city.

Lin Xia crossed her arms and spoke with a hint of pride.

"Are you satisfied? I prepared this myself."

Today, she wore a high ponytail, her long hair gleaming healthily in the sunlight, tracing lively arcs in the air with her light steps. The wispy bangs framing her forehead added a touch of playfulness.

This young girl has soft facial features yet exudes youthful vigor; her skin has a natural rosy glow, and her bright almond-shaped eyes always seem to be smiling.

As Tomorrow advanced to Level 3 and participated less in external operations, Lin Xia's lookout duties were gradually sidelined.

The watchtower was gradually neglected and no one paid any attention to it.

However, Lin Xia still went to the watchtower as always to enjoy the breeze and scenery, and reminisce about her childhood.

As Li Ye gazed at the scene, a thought suddenly occurred to him.

He should also try to settle down and find love in the wasteland.

However, there aren't many places for dates on the Tomorrow.

Seeing his expression, Lin Xia seemed to realize something, and her expression became slightly awkward and uneasy. She even took a step back.

Li Ye didn't hide anything and simply broke the ice.

"Is it okay?" he asked softly.

“Eh, eh?!”

Lin Xia was surprised that he would be so direct, and she stammered for a moment.

"Aren't there lots of young girls on the Tomorrow? I've seen them giving you flirty looks several times, so why did you take a liking to me?"

Li Ye didn't offer much explanation.

From the moment he first saw Lin Xia, he felt an immediate and natural attraction to her.

Finally, he watched as the other person's cheeks slowly flushed red, and he nodded gently.

"So, does this mean the future of the Ming Dynasty will really have a lord's wife?" Lin Wu asked with a smile.

"Yes, she agreed." Li Ye nodded.

The two were strolling and talking on the floor of the Tomorrow, but this time Lin Wu no longer needed to push the wheelchair.

While chatting, Lin Wu reminded Li Ye of something.

Currently, the household registration system for the more than 5 residents on Tomorrow has been established.

Household registration can be broadly categorized into the following:

The residents' names, ages, genders, marital statuses, city tiers, family situations, occupational skills, and which floor they live on.

This was built with the help of Bishop Whiteman.

His laptop played a crucial role, recording the household registrations of all 50,000 people aboard the Tomorrow.

Through household registration, local authorities and urban neighborhood committees can learn about the specific circumstances of residents and conduct recruitment.

Now, the people in the city's neighborhood committees guard that laptop that stores household registration information more closely than their own lives, watching it almost 24 hours a day.

When Li Ye first heard about household registration, he felt somewhat surprised and moved.

Because without anyone noticing, the population of Tomorrow has grown to the point where a household registration system is needed to manage it properly.

Not only that, Lin Wu also brought up something else.

On the Tomorrow, a class of rich and poor has gradually emerged.

"What did you say?" Li Ye asked, puzzled.

Lin Wu gave a simple explanation.

The Tomorrow Ship itself has a T1-T7 tier system, and the number of contribution points obtained varies depending on the tier.

Ordinary residents who work generally earn only a moderate number of contribution points, while combat personnel, city residents' committee members, fighter pilots, war committee members, public security bureau staff, and destroyer crew members earn far more contribution points.

Over time, the gap in contribution points between the two sides will widen.

Li Ye nodded slightly.

Given the existence of a hierarchical system, the emergence of social classes is a natural consequence.

After all, the ranking system of Tomorrow is designed to encourage residents to work harder and actively participate in external battles.

If this system treats everyone equally, it would be the greatest injustice.

As they were talking, Lin Wu suddenly realized something.

"Judging from this, a noble class might emerge in high-level mobile cities!" he exclaimed in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Li Ye couldn't help but stroke his chin.

The aristocratic class.

It sounds somewhat fantastical in the wasteland.

But it should exist.

"It seems that no matter what kind of world it is, the existence of social classes is unavoidable," he thought to himself.
