103: Chapter 103 Titan Boils the Sea and the Naga's Submission
The oracle was issued, and a cold, playful will was transmitted precisely into the canyon along the mental link.
Go to the Endless Great Lake... and take a bath.
Since they are neighbors, we should always go and greet them in a friendly manner.
Hyperis, the Abyssal Thunder Beast - Titan, having just completed its first energy discharge, paused its massive body. Its cluster consciousness, composed of countless biological computers, instantly understood the Master's intent.
Its compound eyes, flickering with blue electric arcs, turned toward the west of the Divine Realm.
It no longer moved clumsily; instead, it moved with a composed, destructive purpose.
Roar.
A low response, no longer the earth-shaking roar from before, but more like a confirmation of orders.
In the next second, Hyperis moved.
Its steel body, comparable to a mountain, took a step with an agility completely at odds with its size.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Each step caused the earth to groan under the unbearable weight. Tectonic plates let out deafening cracks as it stepped, and hard rock layers were crushed into powder.
Su Chen stood atop Hyperis's head carapace, the gale whistling past his ears, yet it could not shake him in the slightest. His gaze pierced through the vast distance, locking onto that expanse of blue.
The Endless Great Lake.
An excellent testing ground.
A perfect slaughter pool.
...
The Endless Great Lake.
The lake was as its name suggested: vast, boundless, where water and sky merged into one.
Beneath the shimmering ripples lay a completely different world.
Deep at the bottom of the lake, a magnificent palace constructed of azure crystal and deep-sea coral emitted a soft halo. Countless peculiar schools of fish swam around the palace, and giant sea anemones swayed gently with the current, forming a quiet and magnificent picture.
Inside the throne hall of the crystal palace, the Naga Queen, Selina, lounged lazily on a giant giant clam throne. She possessed breathtaking beauty; her upper body was a near-perfect female form with snow-white skin, and her long, seaweed-like blue hair drifted slightly in the water. Her lower body was a slender snake tail covered in fine, cyan scales, which was currently swaying gently, stirring the water around her.
Your Majesty Queen, according to reports from frontline scouts, those bugs on land have been expanding aggressively recently, having already annexed several overestimating land races.
A Naga warlord with an exceptionally burly physique, holding a trident, knelt on one knee, his tone filled with absolute confidence in his clan.
But you need not worry about this at all. They are land-dwellers, a group of purely terrestrial creatures. Our territory is sacred water; they would never dare to set foot in it.
Another Naga priestess with an alluring figure covered her lips and chuckled.
That's right, as long as we are in the water, our Naga Clan is invincible! Any enemy will be drowned under our raging waves.
Selina nodded slightly, her beautiful face bearing a trace of innate arrogance. She raised a slender finger and tapped her red lips lightly.
Continue monitoring.
Her voice, transmitted through the vibration of the water, clearly reached the ears of every Naga, carrying an unquestionable majesty.
I do not like having such active neighbors next to my territory. As long as they dare to enter the water, then...
Her words came to an abrupt halt.
Without warning, a low, rhythmic vibration came from deep beneath the earth, passing through the lake water and clearly transmitting to the perception of every Naga.
Hum—Hum—
The entire crystal palace shook violently! The lighting crystals embedded in the dome fell with a dusting of powder.
An earthquake?
The strong Naga warlord stood up abruptly, his face filled with shock and suspicion.
No! Selina's expression changed instantly. She rushed out of the palace, her azure pupils staring fixedly at the shimmering lake surface above. This is not an earthquake! It is the water vibrating! Something... something is approaching!
Her perception was sharper than any of her subordinates; she could feel that the vibration originated from the land and was approaching the Endless Great Lake with an unstoppable momentum!
Through the thousands of meters of deep, dark blue water, and through the constantly rippling surface, she saw a scene that froze her soul.
On the lakeshore.
A behemoth that could not be described in words was slowly approaching.
Its body blocked the sky, and the shadow it cast plunged the entire lakeshore into darkness. The exoskeleton, composed of metal and carapace, reflected a grim, cold light under the moonlight. It was not a creature; it was a mobile war fortress, a steel god representing absolute violence.
Then, under the horrified gaze of all the Naga, the sky-covering steel beast slowly raised a giant foot capable of crushing the entire crystal palace into powder.
And then—
It stepped down.
BOOM!!!
The beast stepped into the lake.
That was not entering the water.
Absolutely not.
That was the arrival of a natural disaster! That was the collapse of mountains!
Millions, perhaps tens of millions of tons of lake water were forcibly displaced by its massive body, forming a visible white water line that spread crazily toward the center of the lake with the posture of destroying everything.
Immediately after, a terrifying giant wave a hundred meters high was stirred up out of thin air, carrying immense force, and slammed into the mountains on the opposite shore, emitting a thunderous roar.
At this moment, the entire Endless Great Lake seemed to have become a bathtub that a giant had stepped on.
The crystal palace shook violently under the terrifying shockwave, countless fragile coral buildings collapsed instantly, and countless low-level Naga were swept away by the violent currents, crashing into the rock walls and instantly turning into pulp.
But this was just the beginning.
The beast seemed to feel that the temperature of the lake water made it somewhat uncomfortable.
The two huge bone spurs on its back, which seemed to want to pierce the sky, suddenly lit up with an extremely dazzling blue light.
A fear originating from the instinct of life, impossible to suppress, gripped Selina's heart.
No...
Don't...
She seemed to realize something; the color drained from her beautiful face, leaving only endless paleness. Her pupils suddenly shrank into the most dangerous needle-like points.
Zzzzz—BOOM!
Hyperis, the Abyssal Thunder Beast - Titan, slowly extended the two energy tentacles, which had gathered endless thunder, into the water.
It didn't even use its full strength.
Su Chen's order was to release only one percent of the power of the core reactor within it.
In an instant.
With Hyperis as the center, the lake surface for a hundred miles completely turned into a purgatory of thunder!
Countless thick blue electric snakes crazily darted, surged, and exploded in the water! Water, as an excellent conductor, perfectly transmitted this terrifying one percent of energy to every corner of the lake at this moment.
The entire Endless Great Lake became a giant, energized high-pressure cooker!
Ahhhhh!
Help! My body!
On the lake surface, those giant water monsters that were just jumping out of the water to play were instantly electrocuted until they were stiff, their muscles spasming, and their massive bodies floated up with white bellies.
Under the water, countless fish and shrimp that could not react in time, along with those low-level Naga warriors who thought they were invincible in the water, were pierced through by the terrifying current in an instant. Their flesh and blood quickly carbonized and charred under the high temperature; they couldn't even scream before they died in droves.
The lake water began to boil.
Billowing white water vapor rose from the lake surface, carrying a strange smell of scorched protein.
It was truly being boiled here!
Selina, as a tier-6 powerhouse, desperately opened her strongest deep-sea magic shield the moment the current struck.
But that blue shield, capable of resisting forbidden spells, made a teeth-grinding creak sound under the impact of the endless electric snakes, its surface covered in spiderweb-like cracks, as if it would shatter completely in the next second.
She could clearly feel that every drop of water outside the shield contained violent energy capable of melting steel.
She watched her once valiant clansmen twisting and twitching in pain in the thunder light, eventually turning into charcoal.
She watched the glorious crystal palace, which had been passed down for thousands of years, gradually melting and collapsing in the boiling lake water.
She watched the steel beast standing in the center of the lightning, like a Thunder God descending to the world.
All the pride, all the dignity, and all the will to resist in Selina's heart were ground to dust in the face of this absolute power.
This was not war.
This was divine punishment!
This was a terrifying power that mortals simply could not resist, or even understand!
We... we...
Surrender!
Selina emitted a mental fluctuation that was extremely shrill. The voice was filled with fear, despair, and unwillingness, but there was no longer a shred of fighting spirit.
She didn't even care about the dignity of a monarch, nor the burns from the boiling lake water on her body; she directly dispelled her crumbling shield and swam frantically toward the surface.
Poof!
She broke through the water, gasping for air, and then used all her strength to humbly and completely lower her noble head before the giant beast that brought doomsday just by its existence.
The Naga Clan is willing to serve you as our Master!
Please put away your thunder!
Su Chen, standing on top of Hyperis, had his clothes fluttering slightly in the hot wind formed by the water vapor. He looked down at the Naga Queen, who was trembling in the lightning arcs, and nodded expressionlessly.
Those who submit to circumstances are wise.
Ding! Congratulations on conquering the Naga Clan!
You have gained the allegiance of the Naga Clan and obtained the coordinates of the Deep Sea Relic!
Your faith race has increased! The sea, land, and air psionic combat system has been initially constructed!
