Chapter 1148: Chapter 147: Giant Beast (27)
The monster has emerged.
Standing in the ocean, three heavy mechas and the pilots of seven hundred heavy mechas were the first to sense the changes in the ocean itself.
The seawater churned relentlessly, forming rapid and chaotic dark currents,
The originally solid seabed, began to tremble violently,
undulating up and down like a trampoline, stirring up fine sand and the buried organic remains of deceased creatures, making the seawater incredibly turbid,
even with all mechas turning their searchlights to the brightest, the surrounding scenery was completely obscured.
Crack——
A ring-shaped intense electric light flashed out from the turbid trench below,
rapidly expanding, sweeping over all the mechas standing on both sides of the trench.
Identical to the electromagnetic pulse previously released by the Ridgeback Turtle, but in intensity and speed, a bit higher.
However, humans were well-prepared for this,
most mechas had been modified beforehand to defend against EMP.
Those mechas that didn’t have time to modify stood far on the periphery, unaffected.
The electric current ring disappeared in a flash, the Eureka Raider still stood firm in place,
The Hansen father and son grimly broadcast over the channel: "Hmph, think the same move can still work on us?
Arrogant and ignorant!"
"Indeed arrogant."
Raleigh Becket said calmly, "Everyone, activate the A.T. Force Field,
use the A.T. Force Field to sense the enemy!"
Buzz——
As the words were spoken, golden lights began appearing in the seawater,
The A.T. Force Field is a manifestation of one’s spiritual power against the world,
Any foreign object entering the range of the A.T. Force Field would be sensed by the releaser instantly,
more comprehensive than the naked eye, quicker and more accurate than radar.
All mechas activated the A.T. Force Field, like golden spheres, orderly distributed on both sides of the V-shaped trench.
The topmost part of the trench cliff is neither too narrow nor too spacious.
Three heavy mechas stood in a triangular position, mutually guarding each other.
Splash!
Without any warning,
a thousand tons of seawater surged straight up from the cliff, rapidly rushing out along the cliff walls,
mixed with countless rock fragments, and horrifyingly shaped deep-sea creatures.
"Stop them!"
Eureka Raider roared, swinging its arms left and right, activating the ejecting blades,
stomping heavily on the seabed, leaving clear footprints,
the vector noozle mouth behind sprayed bluish flames, evaporating water, providing enormous thrust,
propelling the mech swiftly forward, colliding with a 50-meter level deep-sea creature.
Both sides’ A.T. Force Field fiercely clashed, just as the sensors sensed,
the deep-sea creatures appearing this time were all sized below the deep-sea giant beast standard, yet the ohm index was slightly exceeded.
Human mechs equated to fighting against an equally powerful enemy force, only the opponent’s size was smaller, more flexible, and swifter.
Eureka Raider charged at the deep-sea creature head-on, both sides’ A.T. Force Field collided and offset in the seawater, emitting a radiant golden light, impossible to conceal even amid surrounding sand.
"Die!!"
Eureka Raider roared, its body radiated golden light once more, its ejecting blades awkwardly navigating the protective-like barrier of the A.T. Force Field, advancing bit by bit,
slowly piercing toward the creature’s chest.
The deep-sea creature fiercely resisted, using its limbs to pound Eureka Raider’s chest and limbs,
causing the latter’s armor to vibrate, dropping parts.
The damage to the mech would be reflected in the pilot’s brain through the Drift Flow System,
often causing the pilot discomfort as if they were struck, carving flesh.
The Hansen father and son in Eureka Raider’s cockpit likewise felt intense pain,
yet rather than retreating, their fighting spirit surged vehemently, exclaiming: "Resistance?!
I’ll crush you to bits!!!"
Eureka Raider retracted its ejecting blades, grasping the deep-sea creature’s head with one hand, squeezing forcefully,
the other hand fully unchecked against the creature’s violent resistances,
punch after punch, pounding the creature’s chest.
If the previous ejecting blades were piercing damage, tough A.T. Force Fields might narrowly block them,
then the bare-knuckle punches conveyed most force onto the creature’s body surface.
The creature’s chest armor shattered like a spiderweb,
the chest bones caved under the accelerating punches, visibly to the eye,
its massive body, as if drained of the soul, swiftly limp, collapsing to the ground.
With Eureka Raider’s heavy punch,
the deep-sea creature’s chest was directly pierced, losing the A.T. Force Field protection, its head crushed like a rotten orange.
The same slaughter occurred at every place on both sides of the trench.
Both sides erupted into fierce combat,
the violently colliding A.T. Force Fields lit the ocean like daylight.
The three heavy mechas undoubtedly were the backbone of the battle,
especially the enhanced Fifth Generation Mech Eureka Raider,
40-meter level deep-sea creatures could be defeated in a strike within close range,
against 50-meter level, it could leverage all-around advantages to suppress, fighting two enemies simultaneously, even winning the battle.
The other two heavy mechs likewise swiftly garnered achievements.
"Thunder, this supreme power causes the heavens to collapse, purple gold hammer,
Lightning, this profound true flame, the celestial suspended sword changes the heavens!"
The two pilots in Mu Ma Messenger’s cockpit chanted meaningless lyrics, along a rhythmic beat, using steel hammers to smash a deep-sea creature.
"I am the Heavenly Emperor, destined to obliterate all enemies of the world!"
Raleigh Becket and Mori Masako whispered deeply, punching the back of a hairy deep-sea creature, shooting it away,
yet rather than quickly pursuing, they tore the creature’s back fur,
patting it on themselves,
mentally deranged muttering: "Uh, Source Master’s curse of hairy affliction finally can’t be suppressed?
No way, we are perfect sage body, must prove the path!"
With that, Gypsy Danger abruptly accelerated, rushing forward, plasma cannon firing, shattering the creature’s head,
continuing to seek the next hairy enemy.
Suddenly enhanced human mechas caught the deep-sea civilization off guard,
unmodified human mechs would face annihilation in the first charge, unable to resist.
Yet, this was insufficient.
Outside the three heavy mechs,
seven hundred medium mechs encountered their troubles.
The seawater environment made the mechs that didn’t conform to fluid dynamics seem slow and cumbersome, unable to convert overall numerical advantage into local combat advantage.
And also rendered human mech’s ranged weapons ineffective.
Damn it!
Eureka Raider surveyed the battle, the deep-sea creatures employed wolf-pack hunting tactics, refraining from hard-hitting heavy mechas,
leveraging local numerical advantages, shifting to assailing easier, quicker-to-seize medium mechas.
A medium mech was toppled by a deep-sea creature, hardly countering before arriving deep-sea creatures bit its limbs ferociously, pulling,
instantly severing its limbs,
while other medium mechs due to distance and terrain, couldn’t rescue in time.
"Get off me!"
Eureka Raider charged forward, its ejecting blade carving a crescent trajectory underwater, slicing a deep-sea creature’s throat,
but next second, more deep-sea creatures, fearlessly charged forth, tightly clinging to Eureka Raider’s limbs.
Eureka Raider struggled fiercely but was tightly surrounded,
its A.T. Force Field pressing against encroaching enemies from all directions, unable to repel them.
The other two heavy mechs were the same.
Nearby, a dozen medium mechs were shouting something: "The deep-sea creatures aren’t even afraid of plasma cannons anymore. It shows they’re not ordinary monsters. We must strike hard! Send in the tanks one by one!"
Attempting to come to the rescue,
they were also firmly blocked by the deep-sea creatures,
The opponent seemed aware of the significance of the three heavy mechs and attempted to eliminate them first.
As the heavy mechs were besieged,
a missile plunged straight down from the sky, piercing through the water barrier and hitting a deep-sea giant beast entangling the Eureka Raider, blasting it away.
The missile was launched by Dawn piloting the Capini Mech.
Compared to before, the Capini Mech’s surface was covered with a faint green datastream visible to the naked eye,
this datastream spread and extended automatically like it had its own intelligence, reaching all the mechs in the sea.
The mechs infected by the datastream saw an inexplicable rise in AI intelligence and computing power, making them sense deep-sea creatures’ attacks in advance and react as if with foreknowledge—
This was the buff released by the Black Trojan before Dawn’s arrival for rescue,
[Cyber Martial Arts·Sage’s Precautions]
Accompanying the Capini Mech were over 1,300 light mechs previously stationed on the shore,
These mechs charged towards the deep-sea creatures, holding the monsters attempting to break the encirclement, buying time for the other medium mechs to receive aid.
The Capini Mech itself, using technology distinct from this world, maneuvered freely underwater, continuously firing floating cannon beams and missiles,
hitting the deep-sea creatures and freeing the three heavy mechs.
They were liberated.
The Eureka Raider, having broken free, slashed without hesitation, cutting down with abandon,
under the buff effect applied by the Black Trojan, it was as if aided by a god, efficiently eliminating the deep-sea creatures.
Blue blood flowed and spread in the ocean,
A large number of marine fish that couldn’t escape in time were poisoned by the blood, corroded to death.
Every moment, there were remnants of mechs or deep-sea creatures sinking to the seafloor or floating on the surface.
The balance of victory tipped gradually towards the human side,
The timely support of the Capini and light mech formation was crucial,
And the wide-area buff from the Black Trojan was even more powerful than ten heavy mechs.
On the broadcast channel, faint cheers from PPDC personnel were already sounding,
even they hadn’t expected the situation to reverse so suddenly after the intervention of travelers from a different world,
achieving victory without incurring a 70% casualty cost,
without needing to resort to nuclear weapons to force an enemy retreat through self-destruction.
The dawn of victory was near,
however, General Stake on the airship bridge felt an increasing sense of unease in his heart,
He gripped the edges of the table tightly, so hard that the back of his hand was turning white.
Something isn’t right.
On the PPDC broadcast channel, the chaotic and disordered shouts of mech pilots echoed.
"Standing on Yin and Yang, asserting dominance from the ancient past to now!"
"My drill is the drill that pierces the heavens!"
"The Desolate Prison Sky Finger, a single finger shakes the heavens and earth!"
The number of deep-sea creatures was continually and steadily decreasing, yet they persisted fearlessly, entangling with human mechs, as if willing to fight to the bitter end.
Just like... soldier ants in an ant nest.
Stake’s pupils suddenly dilated as he realized something.
Five hundred giant beast-level deep-sea creatures indeed posed a considerable threat to the past human forces, even capable of destroying individual human strongholds.
But that’s already a thing of the past.
Based on the conjectured scenarios proposed by the advisors, the side holding the initiative in a civilization war would likely use most of their power the moment they launched an all-out war.
To achieve absolute superiority in the shortest time, leaving no chance for a weaker civilization to counterattack.
While five hundred deep-sea giants could flatten human fortresses, they couldn’t utterly destroy human military strength in a short time — if the deep-sea civilization wanted to decisively end things, they would need to deploy at least two to three times the number of deep-sea giants.
Unless, these deep-sea creatures appearing at the seabed were just bait...
A terrifying possibility flashed through Stake’s mind, and before he could press the broadcast button to alert the heavy mechs to prepare for an enemy encounter,
he heard a sharp, piercing alarm from behind.
"Ohm Index exceeded maximum measurement range!
Ohm Index exceeded maximum measurement range!"
Cai Tiantong stood as if his soul had been extracted, dumbfounded, staring at the screen with a newly appeared red dot occupying almost one-third of the space, murmuring: "Level... no! It’s a level-six deep-sea giant beast..."
————
Ka-cha ka-cha.
The trench cliff shook violently, with countless rocks falling into the bottomless abyss,
The tremor of the earth was so intense that several medium mechs lost their balance and nearly toppled over.
Click.
The Gypsy Danger among the three heavy mechs extended its arm’s chain sword to plant it into the seabed rock layers, steadying itself,
The other two heavy mechs also crouched down, lowering their center of gravity to avoid toppling over.
Interestingly enough, the heavily wounded deep-sea creatures around didn’t seize the opportunity to attack but abandoned their respective enemies, swimming towards the trench cliff,
prostrating themselves on either side of the cliff like a swarm of ants paying homage.
The earthquake gradually subsided, and the sea calmed down,
In the dark sea area, only the lights of the mechs and the A.T. Force Field remained.
In the silence, the pilots instinctively swallowed, looking towards the deep sea abyss.
An unknown, intense oppressive terror overwhelmed even Li Ang’s psychological transformations on them, forcing them into silence.
Light,
Mystical blue light glowed from the abyss,
A giant deep-sea creature of unimaginable size rose slowly from The Abyss.
It had a massive, two-ped shark-like head,
each side of the head’s front had two eyes.
The lower jaw protruded, enveloping the upper jaw, with two rows of sharp, serrated teeth within the mouth,
The body, possessing four limbs, was covered in plate armor segments,
These plate-like armors, akin to European medieval plate armor, were heavy and sturdy,
Covering the creature’s robust limbs and long tail,
yet they seemed not cumbersome at all, but rather perfectly fitting, exceptionally agile and light.
The heavy mechs, towering at over seventy meters tall, appeared solemn and majestic in human eyes as if gods,
but in front of the towering, two hundred thirteen meters — surpassing three hundred meters if counting the tail — deep-sea giant beast, they seemed as trivial and fragile as children.
The three heavy mechs, looking up at the slowly ascending Giant Beast Queen from the abyss,
their A.T. Force Fields violently trembled under the immense pressure,
while the A.T. Force Fields of some of the medium and light mechs behind them began to collapse and dissipate directly.
"Whew..."
The Hansen father and son in the Eureka Raider cockpit exhaled a deep breath, their eyes seemingly ablaze.
Nuclear Power Engine efficiency, elevated to 100%
Vector Noozle Mouth efficiency, elevated to 120%
Ejection blade temperature, elevated to 200%, regardless of wear and tear.
"War! You! Mother!"
Accompanied by the roar of the Hansen father and son, the Eureka Raider charged forward.
The deep-sea creatures prostrating to the Giant Beast Queen stood up, attempting to block,
only to be consecutively slashed and shattered by the Raider.
Limb remnants flew, blood gushed forth,
The distance between both sides rapidly closed under the Raider’s sprint,
and the floating, serene Giant Beast Queen merely raised her tri-forked tail, swiping forward with deceptive speed.
Bam!!!
Like a spinning top struck by a copper-head strap,
the A.T. Force Field on the Eureka Raider twisted and spun violently, making screeching friction noises,
The entire mech flew back, crashing heavily onto the seabed, leaving a deep trajectory.
