Those huge, scarlet eyes were like two searchlights hanging in the abyss.

Even through a screen.

The terrifying sense of oppression emanating from the top of the food chain still made the air in the control room freeze for a moment.

Li Ruobing, who had been laughing at the unfortunate souls outside who had been turned into mincemeat, unconsciously held her breath, her fingers holding the gun turning slightly white.

"This is... the final boss?"

Yao Qian huddled behind her sister, her voice trembling.

In the picture.

The thing moved.

As its massive body swayed slightly, it stirred up terrifying undercurrents visible to the naked eye in the deep water.

The originally murky water was stirred up, revealing its true shape.

That was a whale.

But it is definitely not any known whale species on Earth.

Its length is estimated to be over 300 meters.

Its entire body was covered with a thick layer of black bone armor that gleamed with a metallic sheen.

Especially the head.

It wasn't smooth flesh, but a huge, jagged, ram-shaped bone, with the remains of several shipwrecks hanging on it, like medals it had casually draped over its head.

"Gurgle."

Someone swallowed hard.

It was unusually loud in the deathly silent control room.

"Analyze the data."

Qin Yu narrowed his eyes, a glint of light flashing deep within his pupils.

[Scanning for target...]

The scanning progress is slow due to interference from high-concentration energy magnetic fields...

[Scan complete]

[Target: Abyssal Demon Whale (Transformed Form)]

[Rank: SS]

[Status: Hibernating/Awakening]

[Abilities: Deep Sea Pressure, Bone Armor Impact, Sonic Vibration, Devouring Evolution]

[Weakness: Unknown (Extremely high bone armor on the body surface, immune to conventional physical and energy attacks)]

"SS-rank..."

Looking at the data on the panel, Qin Yu's habitual nonchalant smile disappeared.

This was the first time he had ever seen a living SS-class creature.

Zhang Nanhai, who was previously at the S-level, would probably be nothing more than a toothpick in front of this thing.

"Brother Yu, shall we get on it?"

Li Ruobing licked her slightly chapped lips. Although the fighting spirit in her eyes was suppressed, it did not disappear.

She's crazy.

The stronger the prey, the more it stirs up the savagery in her bones.

She patted the Class A pulse laser gun she had just seized in her hand.

"This thing is pretty powerful. Add to that our combat suits and the grenades we have, and we should be able to blast it open, right?"

Qin Yu looked at her as if she were an idiot.

"Open up the abdomen?"

He pointed to the bony armor on the back of the whale on the screen.

"Yao Xue, zoom in on that area."

Yao Xue immediately took action.

The camera zooms in.

On that layer of black bone armor, there was not only a sunken ship, but also several huge torpedoes embedded.

Those were the heavy torpedoes used on submarines in the old days.

but.

They did not explode.

Instead, they were stuck in the gaps of the bone armor like a few rusty nails, without even creating a dent.

"Did you see that?"

Qin Yu's voice was calm.

"That thing can even withstand heavy torpedoes."

Do you think that water gun in your hand would feel pain if you just tickled it?

Li Ruobing was stunned.

She may be arrogant, but she's not stupid.

Even if torpedoes couldn't penetrate the defenses, with their individual weapons, even if they used up all their ammunition, they could probably only expend a little bit of it.

"What should we do then?"

Li Ruobing slammed the gun onto the control panel, somewhat unwilling to accept the situation.

"Entering a treasure mountain empty-handed? This is an SS-rank monster! The items it drops are definitely divine artifacts!"

"and……"

Yao Xue spoke up at this moment, pointing to a data bar on the edge of the screen with a furrowed brow.

"The maze's defense system can't reach there."

"This shows that the bottom deep water area is an 'undefended coverage area'."

"In other words, the Gatling gun barrage that riddled Zhao Gang and his men with bullets just now simply doesn't exist there."

"There isn't even a laser cutting mesh."

This is very embarrassing.

If it is on land, or in shallow water.

Qin Yu might still be able to use the maze's mechanisms to outmaneuver this beast.

But in deep water.

That's its home turf.

Once in the water, even if Qin Yu is wearing an S-class battle suit, his underwater mobility will definitely not be as good as that of this 300-meter-long behemoth.

Even a slight touch from it.

Or perhaps it's just a sweep of that huge tail.

It would absolutely end in utter destruction.

Even the buffer of an S-class battle suit has a limit.

Faced with the sheer power of an SS-class fighter, the suit might be unharmed, but the person inside would be turned into mincemeat.

"Brother Yu, how about... we call it quits?"

Yao Qian whispered, her legs going weak just looking at those scarlet eyes.

"We've already captured the core control hub; this is a huge achievement."

Qin Yu remained silent.

He stared at the screen, his fingers tapping lightly on the table.

"Tap, tap, tap."

give up?

These two words don't exist in Qin Yu's dictionary.

He'd be furious if he let this SS-level gift package, delivered right to his doorstep, slip away.

But this is definitely a tough nut to crack.

Trying to bite into it will definitely break your teeth.

"Individual combat is ineffective."

"Even the maze defense system won't work."

Qin Yu's brain was working at lightning speed.

Sudden.

His gaze fell on the golden [Maze Control Hub].

A crazy and audacious plan took shape in his mind.

Qin Yu's lips curled into a smile that sent chills down Li Ruobing's spine.

"Who said we have to fight here?"

Qin Yu turned around, his back to the terrifying behemoth on the screen.

"This place is too small; we can't work out properly."

"Since it's a whale, it should go swimming in the ocean."

The three women were stunned.

"To the sea?"

Yao Xue was the first to react. She pushed up her glasses and a look of shock flashed in her eyes.

"You mean...?"

"Lure it out?!"

Qin Yu snapped his fingers.

Bingo.

"You got it right, but there's no reward."

Qin Yu walked to the control panel, placed his hands on the table, and stared at it with a sharp, piercing gaze.

"This maze ruins will be closed soon."

"Once the fog dissipates, this area will return to the sea."

"At that time, the shackles that restrain this beast will be gone."

Li Ruobing still didn't understand.

"What's the point of leading it out? Won't it just run even faster in the ocean?"

"And we have even less of an advantage when we're out there!"

"Who said we were going to fight hand-to-hand?"

Qin Yu looked at her like she was an idiot and reached out to tap her helmet.

Use your brain.

"Who are we?"

"Refugees?"

"We are people with warships!"

Qin Yu's voice carried a strong sense of confidence.

"My 'Presidential' is still parked outside."

The "President" was mentioned.

Li Ruobing's eyes lit up instantly.

That was more than just a ship.

That was a sea fortress built by Qin Yu using countless resources!

After these rounds of expansion and upgrades.

The current "Presidential" is no longer the small wooden raft it once was.

The firepower loaded on it...

"You mean to bombard it with the ship's heavy cannons?!"

Li Ruobing was so excited she almost jumped up.

"That's right! How come I didn't think of that!"

"Our ship has that much firepower!"

"Even if it has thick skin, can it withstand saturation bombardment?"

Qin Yu sneered.

"Doesn't it like to devour?"

"Then I'll let it eat its fill."

"I don't believe it has such a good appetite that it can digest all my armor-piercing rounds."

"Yao Xue".

Qin Yu immediately gave the order.

"Now, adjust the maze's drainage system via the control hub."

"Raise the water level at the bottom layer gradually."

"Pave a road for this big guy."

"clear!"

Yao Xue immediately began the operation.

"Li Ruobing, go and collect all the explosives that Zhao Gang and the others dropped, as well as all the high-explosive mines we have left."

"what?"

"To act as bait."

A sly glint flashed in Qin Yu's eyes.

"You can't fish without bait, can you?"

"Since this thing is a mutation, it must be very sensitive to energy."

"Tie those A-grade mechanical cores on as well."

"I want to make a 'delicious' dish that it can't refuse and hang it at the exit of the maze."

"As long as it smells the scent and comes out..."

Qin Yu made a downward slicing motion with his palm.

"The gun barrels of the President have been itching for a long time."

……

Ten minutes later.

The exit of the maze.

Qin Yu was carrying a large package wrapped in a waterproof cloth.

It was filled with high-explosive grenades and several Class A cores emitting enticing energy fluctuations.

He stood before the silver gate.

From the depths of the maze behind them, a muffled growl could be faintly heard.

The water level has begun to rise.

The demonic whale, which had been asleep for an unknown period of time, was awakened by this sudden change in the water flow.

It's restless.

It yearns for freedom and bloodshed.

"roar--!!!"

A roar that seemed to come from ancient times echoed through the passage.

The entire maze trembled slightly from the shock.

Dust fell from the top of his head.

"You're in such a hurry already?"

Qin Yu hung the "bait" in his hand on a barb by the door.

A time-delayed release mechanism was also implemented.

"Don't rush."

"The real feast is yet to come."

After doing all this.

Qin Yu clapped his hands and turned to look at the three women who were already fully prepared.

"withdraw."

"Go back to the ship."

"Prepare to welcome our distinguished guest."

......

at this time.

The fog surrounding the outside world has begun to thin.

The thick gray curtain that once shrouded the sea is gradually dissipating.

Through a gradually clearing view.

You can see the sea not far away.

A massive, steel behemoth-like warship lay silently anchored there.

That was Qin Yu's "Presidential Ship".

It was larger and more majestic than all the ships around it.

On both sides of the ship, the dark muzzles of the cannons reflected a cold gleam in the sunlight.

Especially the massive S-class main cannon at the bow—the Deep Sea Guardian Plasma Cannon.

"call……"

I saw my own ship.

Qin Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The tension I had been feeling in the maze finally eased a bit.

"It's still more reassuring to stay on your own boat."

Li Ruobing jumped onto the waiting speedboat, started the engine, and glanced back at the maze entrance that was slowly sinking into the sea.

"Brother Yu, will it really come out?"

"It will."

Qin Yu stood at the bow of the ship, the sea breeze ruffling the hem of his clothes.

His gaze was fixed on that stretch of sea.

"That level of predator."

"Once you smell the blood and the scent of energy."

"Even if hell lies ahead, it will break through."

"And us."

"They're the ones who sent it to hell."

The small boat cut through the waves and sped toward the "Presidential" ship.

The moment they stepped onto the deck.

"Boom!!"

The sea behind them suddenly exploded.

The misty ruins that were dissipating seemed to be torn apart from the inside by some enormous force.

Countless pieces of building debris were thrown into the air.

Followed by.

A massive, suffocating black spine slowly emerged from the water.

It's like a small, black island.

Seawater flows down from the gaps in its bony shells, forming countless waterfalls.

"hold head high--!!!"

The deafening roar of the whale instantly swept across the entire sea area.

The huge waves generated by the sound waves even shook the "President" ship, which was several kilometers away.

"They're out!!"

Yao Qian covered her ears in fright.

"My God...it looks so big even from this far away..."

under the sun.

The true appearance of this SS-class Abyssal Demon Whale is even more breathtaking than seeing it on screen.

It's not just big.

It was a pure, savage aesthetic of violence.

It opened its huge mouth and swallowed the "bait" left by Qin Yu in one gulp.

Along with hundreds of tons of seawater in the surrounding area.

"boom!"

The bait exploded in its mouth.

But for a monster of this size, that explosion was like eating a popping candy.

Aside from causing it to pause slightly, it wasn't harmed at all.

instead.

The smell of gunpowder from the explosion completely enraged it.

Those giant, scarlet eyes instantly locked onto the only large target on the sea surface—the "President".

It sensed it.

The ship had a smell it hated.

It also craves a more powerful energy response.

"Splash!"

The giant tail fin of the whale slammed violently against the surface of the sea.

Its 300-meter-long body, like a torpedo, broke through the waves and rushed towards Qin Yu at high speed!

The speed is astonishing!

Behind it, a white trail stretched for several kilometers.

"They're here!"

Li Ruobing shouted and rushed towards the secondary gun control panel.

"Well done!"

Qin Yu stood on the command platform, showing no sign of panic.

His hand rested steadily on the main gun's firing lever.

War.

At the touch of a hair.
