I write obituaries for the gods

"...the depth of that resonance source is around 8-9..."

"...and what Professor Jürgen has been trying to do is to go deeper, until he finds the cause of Litty's illness..."

At that moment, Lin Chen understood what Jürgen was about to do—

He wants to use the W weapon to tear open the subspace and get straight to the cause of Litty's illness!

That resonance source with a depth between 8 and 9!

For a moment, Lin Chen's fingers trembled slightly.

Professor, did you really do all this for Litty...?

However, this experiment was only in its initial stage when it caused such an abnormal erosion of the rainforest.

What if we wait until it starts up?

“This is your last chance,” Jürgen said softly. “Turn and leave.”

Lin Chen stared straight at Jürgen without saying a word.

After looking at each other for a moment, Jürgen gently shook his head:

"It seems you don't want to leave. I'm sorry, child."

Outside the giant window, lightning flashed and thunder roared, surging waves crashed against the whale nest, and the massive weapon platform swayed like a giant ship.

Looking directly at Jürgen, Lin Chen said softly:

"professor."

He knew this was the last time he would call the man in front of him "professor."

"I'm very sorry."

After Lin Chen finished speaking, he suddenly made a hand gesture.

The next second, as a gray-white crack opened, a dark shadow shot through the wall, and the greatsword slashed fiercely towards Jürgen's back—

"Pfft!"

Blood splattered out, and a look of astonishment flashed in Jürgen's eyes.

It's the Black Sword.

The moment Jürgen lost his balance, Li Zhanyi abruptly stood up and quickly moved aside.

Almost simultaneously, Jiang Zhengge darted out from around the corner and fired a series of shots at Jürgen:

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

One shot, two shots, three shots! The bullets struck the demigod, exploding into blood.

Jürgen covered his eyes, then suddenly flicked his wrist, opening the triangular door. He retreated behind the door and disappeared.

The three of them jumped down from the second floor and landed next to Lin Chen. Lin Chen quickly moved closer to Li Zhanyi and whispered:

"Are you okay?"

"It's nothing," Li Zhanyi said softly.

She hadn't spoken until now, so that she could secretly inform Jiang Zhengge and Hei Jian when Jürgen wasn't looking.

Upon noticing Jiang Zhengge approaching, Lin Chen manipulated Jiang Zhengge using "consciousness intrusion".

"It's amazing that you knew it was me and even let me into your brain." Lin Chen looked at the section chief.

“This doesn’t feel good,” Jiang Zhengge rubbed his head, “but it’s a really clever move.”

After using "consciousness intrusion" to enter Jiang Zhengge's brain, Lin Chen described the current situation to Hei Jian and asked them to cooperate in the counterattack.

Then, he seized the moment just before Jürgen was about to make his move and issued the command.

“I didn’t expect it to be you, Jürgen,” Jiang Zhengge shouted towards the dome. “Tell me, isn’t it a headache to force your superpowers without wearing a helmet?”

"You seem to know me quite well."

Another triangular door opened, and this time, it was not Jürgen who came out.

Emerging was Euclid, clad in silver armor.

He stood in front of the crowd, with the W weapon array behind him.

“I warned you not to try to fight Alpha,” Euclid said, spreading his arms. “Now, it’s too late.”

The crowd immediately raised their weapons and fired at him. Euclid flicked his wrist, and a triangular door opened, sending all the bullets flying in all directions towards the crowd.

"Da da da da—"

Lin Chen grabbed the edge of his trench coat, using it to shield himself from bullets as he ran.

After dodging a hail of bullets, he looked up and saw the black sword tear open and slash towards Euclid, and saw Euclid raise his arm—

"clang!"

The black sword struck the demigod's arm, and the next second, a silver rift exploded where the black sword had been, and the black sword entered the rift almost simultaneously.

good chance!

Lin Chen raised his shotgun and aimed at Euclid: the superalloy armor-piercing round was in the firing position—

"Oh!"

"Buzz!"

The moment the bullet was fired, a triangular door opened in front of Euclid.

On the other side of the door was right behind Lin Chen!

"careful!"

Almost at the same time Lin Chen opened fire, Li Zhanyi foresaw the future and pounced on him, pushing him away.

"clang!"

The superalloy armor-piercing projectile struck the floor, drilling a deep hole with red molten marks gleaming at its edges.

"Not cautious enough."

Euclid reached out to Lin Chen, and almost simultaneously, Lin Chen picked up Zhan Yi and jumped away—

"boom!"

As the silver cracks bloomed, a sharp pain still tore through Lin Chen's back!

"cough..."

Lin Chen felt a warm sensation on his back. He struggled to stand up and injected himself with a needle to sustain his fighting power.

Meanwhile, Jiang Zhengge and Hei Jian were restraining Euclid from different angles, both of them covered in wounds—Euclid's spatial tear was difficult to dodge, so they could only try their best to protect their vitals.

“Don’t waste bullets. He has a very strong sense of space,” Lin Chen whispered to Li Zhanyi. “Shooting at him from this distance is impossible to hit.”

"But just now... the section chief hit his target with his shot..." Li Zhanyi murmured, "Could it be because..."

"It's his helmet," the two said in unison.

Lin Chen could clearly sense that Euclid's spatial control was much weaker without the helmet.

He needs to blindfold himself to use his abilities.

In the videotape that recorded Euclid's weaknesses, when his mask was torn off, Euclid would experience a great strain when forcibly unleashing his powers...

Therefore, two things can be deduced:

First, Euclid needed to shield his senses in order to perceive space and use the ability to tear space, as evidenced by the enhancement of his ability from "covering his eyes with his hands" to "covering his head with a helmet".

Secondly, Euclidean spatial perception...is limited by distance!

Without a helmet, he couldn't detect the bullets fired by Jiang Zhengge, who was just a wall away.

Wearing the helmet did indeed give Euclid a greater grasp of space.

However, if we consider this distance...

Should we keep pulling it apart?

As Lin Chen pondered, Lucy's voice came through his earpiece:

"Attention! D-03 formation is entering the territory and is about to bomb the whale nest. We should run!"

A door opened behind Lin Chen, and Lucy rushed in.

Almost simultaneously, the black sword suddenly unleashed a gray-white wave, then grabbed Jiang Zhengge and flew back to the door.

"Let's go! The support package is here!" Black Sword shouted.

The group quickly passed through the gate, with Lin Chen being the last to leave. As he entered, he turned his head one last time to look at Euclid.

The demigod hovered in the air, with the W weapon array above his head. At this moment, the gray-white light was gradually spreading out—the W weapon was activated!

"Clap."

After closing the door, Lin Chen found himself in the rear cabin of the transport plane.

A frenzied sonic boom came from beside his ears. Lin Chen turned his head and saw a fighter jet fly past the window and head towards the Whale Nest platform in the distance.

"We are deploying thermobaric bombs. All units, lift to higher ground," Hua Molan's voice came through.

Lin Chen looked out the window and saw a small black dot separate from the fighter jet and fall diagonally toward the whale nest.

Just as he was about to look away, a silver rift suddenly opened up—

"boom!!!"

In that brief moment, Lin Chen only had time to see the scene inside the crevice: a vast expanse of clouds.

The next second, a violent shockwave roared down from above, like a thunderbolt from a thousand feet high—

"boom!!!!!"

Lin Chen suddenly fell to the ground. He heard the alarm and someone shouting. All the sounds seemed like a dream.

He struggled to his feet, leaning against the wall, and looked out the window:

The sky was as bright as day, and the fireball tore through the clouds, awakening like a second sun over the southeastern sea.

Beneath the fireball, countless helicopter wreckage spun and burned as they fell, like moths struggling after being set ablaze.

Euclid moved the thermobaric bomb to the clouds at the moment of its explosion.

Almost simultaneously, directly beneath that sun, an eerie white light began to spread.

Lin Chen, who was in a daze, slowly lowered his head and saw that another sun was rising on the sea surface. The huge whirlpool was slowly expanding its territory with the Whale Nest Platform as the center.

The W weapon has been activated.

......

Chapter 146 The Hunt for Ghosts (First and Second Updates)

"More than half of the units have lost contact (repeatedly): More than half of the units have lost contact..."

In the command center lobby, Hua Molan gazed at the sky in the distance, which had been dyed as bright as day, and felt a rare sense of pressure squeezing her heart.

That madman actually managed to teleport the thermobaric bomb into the sky the instant it exploded, turning the tables on the Bureau of Investigation.

"Chief! Weapon W has been activated! The corrosion is intensifying!" someone shouted. "What should we do?!"

"Quiet."

Hua Molan closed her eyes, picked up the syringe, and injected herself in the neck.

Her body was already weak, but she knew she absolutely could not leave at this critical juncture.

After a brief moment of thought, Hua Molan turned the microphone over and said softly:

"Jiang Zhengge, are you still alive?"

"He's not dead yet... damn it, but this is definitely worth a few months of administrative leave."

“Listen to me,” Hua Molan said calmly, “The array of W weapons in subspace cannot be destroyed by the Orca, but even with W weapons already activated, he still has to expend his own energy to move the thermobaric bombs away. Do you know what that means?”

"This means... the array of W weapons in reality is not indestructible?"

“It can’t withstand thermobaric weapons at least,” Hua Molan nodded. “So Euclid has to stay in the real world to protect the W weapon array, which is probably some kind of mainframe.”

"The important thing now is! It's very difficult for us to get close to the Whale Nest platform!" Jiang Zhengge shouted. "Our planes are starting to grow flesh and blood!"
