I raised stunning young ladies, but they all wanted to possess me.

Pei Yuran dodged to the side, her long sword still sheathed, sweeping horizontally. The sword wind, carrying extreme cold, forced Lin Jinyu back three steps.

The two fought their way from the cabin into the corridor, leaving deep sword marks and charred holes burned through the alloy walls.

Alarms blared throughout the entire aircraft carrier.

It's not an alarm about the Black Tide attacking; it's an alarm about a conflict between superpowered individuals.

All soldiers below B rank on the ship were urgently evacuated to the lower cabins. Commanders of all ranks rushed over from all directions, but when they saw the two figures, one ice and one fire, in the corridor, none of them dared to approach.

"What are you doing! Stop it!"

The chief of staff of the Great Xia Expeditionary Force shouted himself hoarse at the end of the corridor, but no one paid him any attention.

Before his voice even finished, Lin Jinyu unleashed a golden pillar of fire in front of Pei Yuran, which was blocked by Pei Yuran's ice wall. The shockwave shattered all the lights in the corridor.

Gu Yan chased after her from the cabin.

He tried to break up the fight, but as soon as he reached out, an ice spike flew past his ear and embedded itself in the wall. Immediately afterward, a ball of fire exploded near his feet.

He stood in the middle of the corridor, his left ear numb from the cold and his right foot burning hot, neither of the two women stopping because of his presence.

Instead, they fought even more fiercely, as if they wanted to vent all the grievances and anger they had accumulated over the past three years through this fight.

"Stop hitting him."

"Stop fighting, everyone."

Nobody listens to him.

When Pei Youyi arrived, the corridor was already in complete disarray.

She stood at the end of the corridor, her moon-white cheongsam fluttering in the air currents created by the clash between the two powerful figures.

She spotted Gu Yan standing at the boundary between ice and fire, as well as her daughter and Lin Jinyu.

The two young men were like two bloodthirsty wild beasts, neither willing to back down an inch.

She took a step forward, and wind-elemental spiritual energy gathered around her, preparing to use a wind wall to forcibly separate the two of them.

Then the entire aircraft carrier suddenly shuddered.

It wasn't caused by the shockwave from the supernatural power.

It came from the bottom of the ship, from below the sea, from the deepest part of the entire fifth line of defense.

Immediately afterwards, the piercing combat alarm drowned out the supernatural conflict alarm, and the broadcast system of the island command center blared simultaneously.

"The Kuroshio Current is coming! The Kuroshio Current is coming!"

"All units, move into combat positions!"

"Repeat. All units, move into combat positions!"

Lin Jinyu and Pei Yuran stopped what they were doing at the same time.

The golden flames and the icy sword intent remained locked in a stalemate for half a second before dissipating simultaneously.

They exchanged a glance, neither of them speaking, but the fighting spirit that had been tearing at each other apart just moments before had instantly shifted in the same direction.

When they rushed onto the deck, the entire East China Sea had already turned into a living hell.

The energy shield of the fifth line of defense flickered violently under the first wave of the black tide, and then began to shatter from the northeast corner.

It wasn't pierced, it was crushed.

Millions of bone-eating worms surged out of the sea like a black tsunami, their bodies tightly stacked together, like a moving black continent, slowly advancing from the open sea towards the defense line.

The sky was obscured by a horde of skeletal dragons, their breath turning the clouds a dark red.

Further away, the silhouettes of more than a dozen Titan-class creatures slowly emerged from the sea mist. They were even larger than the ones seen at the Nagoya Pass, and with each step they took, giant waves tens of meters high were stirred up on the sea.

All fleets opened fire at the same time.

The main guns of hundreds of destroyers, cruisers, and battleships roared in unison, their fire blasting countless gaps in the black tsunami, but these gaps were filled within seconds by the surging bone-eating worms that followed.

The fleet of air battleships swooped down from the clouds, their main gun beams and missile barrages weaving together to form a firepower network covering the entire sea surface.

The first wave of skeletal dragons charged forward and fell in droves amidst the barrage of fire, their corpses crashing into the sea and creating towering columns of water.

But the second and third waves followed one after another, like an endless tide.

General Joseph's Seventh Fleet was at the forefront.

The destroyers bearing the Pacific Fleet designation were like tiny boats in the black tsunami, attacked simultaneously from underwater by countless worm-like calamities.

A destroyer's hull was gnawed through, seawater flooded into the engine room, and the ship tilted and capsized within seconds.

The officers and soldiers on the ship jumped into the sea to escape, and the sea surface was filled with life rings and wreckage, but they were soon dragged into the deep sea by worms that swam by.

There were no screams, only strings of bubbles rising from the sea surface.

"Fire! Keep firing! The Seventh Fleet will not back down an inch!"

General Joseph's roar exploded on the communications channel, louder than the sound of artillery fire.

He stood on the flagship's bridge, his white gloves stained with blood—fragments from the explosion had cut his forehead.

His flagship was surrounded by three Titan-class destroyers at the same time. He ran out of main guns and missiles, and finally he used the ship itself to ram one of the Titans.

The entire flagship was reduced to a fireball on the sea surface in the explosion, the flames shooting into the sky and turning half of the night sky red.

High Priestess Ikana stood on the deck of a transport ship with her last voodoo warrior.

She sang an extremely ancient war song in the tribal language, and the totem necklace around her neck lit up one after another.

She used her life force to create a protective net of incantations on the sea, blocking the swarm of bone-eating insects for a full fifteen minutes.

Fifteen minutes later, her skin began to crack, peeling off piece by piece from the soles of her feet, like mud on a dry riverbed.

She finished singing the last syllable, then turned around, took off the totem necklace from her neck, and handed it to the youngest voodoo warrior next to her.

The next second, she turned to ashes, scattered by the sea breeze in the last glimmer of the protective netting.

Marshal Andreyevich's snow special forces division was completely wiped out.

They jumped from the transport ship into the sea, using their ice-based abilities to freeze the surface into ice floes. On these ice floes, they set up their last heavy weapons and engaged in close combat with the bone-eating swarm.

The marshal fought to the last moment. His one eye was burned by acid, and his left arm was bitten off. With his remaining right hand, he detonated all the grenades on his body, perishing together with more than a dozen worms.

Where he fell, the ice floes cracked, seawater poured in, and it slowly sank into the sea like an ice tombstone.

Deputy Commander-in-Chief Envanko and his two S-class superhuman bodyguards died at the westernmost end of the defensive line.

The three of them held off an entire Skeleton Knights' flank charge, fighting until their swords broke and they were dead.

As Envanko collapsed, he uttered a final sentence through the communication channel.

"The entire Central African theater has been dispatched."

"They all died in battle."

Gu Yan stood on the bridge of the Akagi.

He can't do anything.

The Mirror Flower Seal had already burned excessively at the Nagoya Pass, and his mental power was not even enough to control a B-rank Calamity.

He stood in front of the glass window, watching the black tsunami slowly engulf the entire defense line.
