213: Chapter 213 Ferry Distortion! The Steel Behemoth's Four-Legged Rampage!

Boom!

A deafening muffled sound exploded inside the main control room of 0819.

Chen Du's hand was clamped tightly onto the [Vehicle Core] panel.

Pure Shadow Power flowed from his fingertips, injected into the core as if money were no object.

"Shut up! I might not have much else, but I have plenty of life essence!"

Chen Du's eyes were fierce, "Deduct 500 points of life essence! Unlock new form!"

"Mobile Fortress, activate!"

Ding.

A crisp system prompt echoed in the cockpit.

Immediately after.

The entire three-hundred-meter-long steel fortress let out a massive roar.

Creak! Snap!

The dark gray alloy hull violently tore open from the center outwards.

Countless huge metal gears and hydraulic lines were exposed and interlocked in the air.

Ye Qiu, who was guarding Xia Mo, was thrown to the ground by the violent shaking.

She quickly lunged toward the single bed, using her body to shield the white-haired girl.

"What is Chen Du doing! The ship is falling apart!"

Ye Qiu gritted her teeth, her hands gripping the bed frame fixed to the floor.

In the main control room.

Xia Lai fell onto the floor with a thump.

She stared intently at the reorganized armor data on the screen, her face showing an expression of having seen a ghost.

"Oh my God... the chassis actually reconstructed itself!"

Four mechanical limb skeletons, thirty meters in diameter and covered in heavy armor, forcefully extended from the bottom of the ship.

The long cruise ship hull began to violently contract, fold, and round toward the center.

The close-in weapon system ports on both sides of the ship automatically retracted.

The towering superstructure was wrapped layer by layer in half-meter-thick special armor, transforming into the fortress's core brain.

In just ten seconds.

A naval behemoth mutated into a four-legged steel fortress before the horrified eyes of everyone!

Lin Keke clutched her seatbelt.

Most of the fear from her near-death experience had dissipated, and the girl's eyes were sparkling.

"This is too cool! I'm totally convinced, mech romance is right before my eyes!"

However, the crisis was not over.

A roar came from the dark sky behind them.

The bloody eye in the firmament had completely entered a frenzied state.

The Abyssal Devourer sensed the prey's attempt to reach shore.

Trying to leave the water area?

This directly violated the death law established by the god of fear!

Boom!

A large area of black seawater at the junction of the C3 Sea Area surged upwards.

A world-ending black water tsunami, reaching a thousand meters high, rose from the ground.

It bore down on the transformed 0819 with terrifying kinetic energy!

Ahead.

The Sea Skeleton Alliance fleet blocking the shipping lane didn't even finish turning to evade.

Dozens of cruisers were completely swallowed by the shadow of the thousand-meter tsunami.

Hundreds of fully armed thugs didn't even have time to scream.

They, along with their ships, were crushed into a pile of flat scrap metal by the descending water.

They sank straight into the black sea.

Fierce winds whipped up salty seawater, striking the armored glass of the superstructure with immense force.

On the radar screen of the main console, the display was filled with fatal alarms.

"Captain! The speed is too fast!"

Xia Lai's fingers flew across the keyboard.

"The resistance of the mechanical legs in the water is too great; we absolutely cannot outrun the tsunami's coverage area!"

Chen Du stood in the very center of the main control room, a trace of almost crazed excitement burning in his eyes.

He gripped the brand new dual control sticks with both hands.

He yanked them upward fiercely.

"Run? I never planned on running!"

"An Nuonuo! Aft, Air Cannon at maximum power, prepare for counter-thrust!"

Chen Du's command was broadcast throughout the entire ship.

At the edge of the stern deck.

"Understood! Leave it to me!"

The petite loli shouted clearly, unleashing dozens of high-pressure air blasts toward the sea behind them!

Bang bang bang!

Airwaves exploded.

Using the recoil thrust, the engines beneath the four-legged fortress simultaneously spewed out dozens of meters of scorching tail flames.

At that very moment.

The thousand-meter tsunami slammed down less than a hundred meters behind the fortress.

The steel fortress could no longer escape the coverage zone.

Suddenly!

The four massive mechanical legs, thirty meters thick, stamped down fiercely onto the crest of the rolling waves!

The immense reaction force, superimposed with the thrust generated by the tsunami's impact.

Exploded instantly!

The steel behemoth, weighing tens of thousands of tons, actually leaped into the air!

It carved a violent parabola through the air, directly soaring over the shallow water area.

A gigantic shadow swept across the black beach.

0819 slammed down steadily, thousands of meters deep into the land!

Rumble—!

Deafening roars continued to spread!

Earthquake-like violent shaking was transmitted to the feet of the women.

The fortress's four mechanical feet deeply crushed the black rock of the ground.

Large areas of twisted trees were snapped by the giant feet.

Wood chips and dark black dust flew everywhere.

The four thick shock absorber cylinders simultaneously released long sighs of depressurization.

Hiss—

Landed, safe!

On the deck, An Nuonuo collapsed from exhaustion, gasping for breath.

0819 had completely escaped the Sea of Despair!

The waves roared thousands of meters high along the coastline, but could only retreat helplessly.

The massive carcass of the Abyssal Devourer was stuck just outside the shallows.

Without the support of the water's buoyancy, its enormous weight would directly crush its internal organs.

This soft-bodied monster could not set foot on land at all.

The bloody eye in the sky was covered with red veins, staring fixedly at the distant steel fortress.

"Hoo... Die..."

A grand whisper carried an extreme sense of unwilling, impotent rage.

Chen Du pushed open the deformed and damaged hatch, stepping out onto the open platform at the highest point of the superstructure.

Shadows rolled beneath his feet.

A dark shadow climbed up his calf and transformed into a black cloak fluttering in the wind.

He pulled out a lighter from his pocket and lit the broken cigarette at the corner of his mouth.

He took a deep drag.

Gray-white smoke rings quickly dissipated in the strong wind.

Chen Du pulled his lips into a smile.

He slowly raised his middle finger toward the deity's vassal on the sea surface!

"How does it feel to be stranded, legless soft-bodied crawler?"

"Hahahaha... Go back and eat your own excrement, I'm done entertaining you."

The arrogant provocation resonated through the shadows, echoing across the sky.

"... Die!!!"

The bloody eye on the sea surface trembled violently.

Finally, restricted by the world's laws, it could only sink into the black water with deep resentment.

At this moment, the cold voice of the Heavenly Dao sounded precisely on cue.

"[Ding! Successfully escaped the Divine Punishment Sea Area.]"

Chen Du walked to the edge of the platform, his gaze sweeping over this brand new land.

The environment felt extremely wrong.

The soil underfoot was a dark black, resembling dried blood.

The surrounding vegetation had no trace of green.

Tree trunks were extremely twisted, taking on the posture of human bodies struggling in agony.

A thin layer of mist permeated the depths of the jungle.

The air smelled not of seawater, but of heavy earthiness and the stench of rotting corpses.

Lin Keke clutched her staff and walked up to Chen Du.

She subconsciously pulled the collar of her pleated skirt tighter, her calves trembling.

"Captain, this place feels really eerie."

"My perception is completely suppressed; I can't even absorb light elements."

They had escaped the Sea of Despair, only to enter another unknown territory.

This bizarre ecosystem suggested they had stepped onto the territory of a new deity or a high-level race.

Chen Du pinched out the cigarette butt, the golden flames deep within his pupils flickering slightly.

"Tyrants Gaze" activated.

In the gray-white field of vision.

In the black forest ahead, shattered by the fortress's landing, death energy permeated everything.

In the dimness, a pair of green vertical pupils lit up without any warning.

Two pairs, three pairs... Hundreds upon hundreds of fist-sized vertical pupils lit up one after another.

Low beast roars came from all directions, shaking the leaves until they rustled.

Chen Du flipped his wrist.

The bone gold cleaver, emitting bone-chilling coldness and the white light of Judgment, fell into his palm.

"Everyone, be on high alert."

The voice echoed throughout the ship, carrying unquestionable authority.

"It seems this place won't be peaceful for long either!"
