394: Chapter 394 Quantum Hackers Loot Global Funds!

Su Yang removed his right foot from Pete's head.

Pete felt as if he had been granted a grand pardon, his whole body trembling violently. He scrambled out of the vermilion gates of Courtyard No. 44 and dove into the only intact off-road vehicle. The driver slammed the accelerator to the floor. The vehicle let out a piercing roar, fleeing Locust Tree Alley like a madman.

Several corpses of bodyguards, turned to white ash, scattered across the bluestone slabs with the wind.

With his hands behind his back, Su Yang turned and walked back to the center of the courtyard, lying back down on the rocking chair.

Qin Xueji walked over quickly in her high heels. Holding a black tablet in her hand, an excited light shone on her beautiful face.

"Boss, the Mechanical Divine Kingdom's host 'Zero' has successfully connected to the global network. Zero's quantum computing power exceeds all supercomputers in the Secular World by tens of thousands of times. The Global Technology Alliance's secrets have been thoroughly uncovered," Qin Xueji reported quickly.

Su Yang picked up a cup of Spiritual Tea from the stone table and took a sip.

"The things I want don't need to wait until tomorrow morning. Act now. Empty all the money in their accounts." Su Yang's tone was flat, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

Qin Xueji nodded heavily. Her fingers tapped rapidly on the tablet screen several times.

The command was issued.

A bloodless financial war erupted in the cyber world.

The Mechanical Divine Kingdom's host 'Zero' transformed into countless invisible ghost data streams, sweeping across the globe via undersea fiber optic cables. The firewalls of hundreds of secret offshore accounts belonging to the Global Technology Alliance were torn to shreds like fragile window paper.

A string of green code jumped rapidly across Qin Xueji's screen.

In just three minutes.

The trillions of dollars the Alliance had accumulated over decades were all dispersed and laundered like a magic trick, finally being precisely funneled into dozens of the Qin Group's overseas accounts.

Not only that, Zero also conveniently tampered with the core data of all the Alliance's listed companies. As soon as the stock market opened, the stock prices of these companies plummeted off a cliff, evaporating ninety percent of their market value in an instant.

A massive commercial Empire was declared completely bankrupt within three minutes.

Deep in the Pacific Ocean, there was a secret island built entirely from artificial land reclamation.

Dozens of sci-fi-looking buildings stood on the island. It was heavily defended, with armed mercenaries and patrol drones everywhere. This was the true headquarters of the Global Technology Alliance.

Inside the core conference room on the top floor of the headquarters building, things had turned into a chaotic mess.

Piercing red alarms blared through the corridors. Several Western technical heads in white lab coats were drenched in sweat, staring at the account balances on the screens that had all returned to zero, their faces ashen.

"Fuck! All the funds have been looted! The firewalls were useless; we can't even trace the opponent's IP!" A technical supervisor's legs went weak, and he slumped into a chair.

At the head of the conference table, a silver-haired Western elder wearing gold-rimmed glasses smashed the coffee cup in his hand. Coffee splashed everywhere.

"It was definitely done by Su Yang from Jiangzhou, China! Pete just sent back a distress signal; everyone sent there has been wiped out!" The old man's eyes were bloodshot as he roared in anger.

"Not only did he steal our technology, but he also dared to drain the Alliance's assets! This is simply going too far!"

A middle-aged man in a military uniform standing nearby rose to his feet, a thick killing intent flashing in his eyes.

"Sir, conventional means cannot deal with this kind of Eastern Cultivator. We must use our final trump card." The middle-aged man's voice was cold.

The silver-haired elder grit his teeth and slammed his fist heavily onto the conference table.

"Immediately activate the 'God's Rod' space-based weapon System! Lock onto Courtyard No. 44, Locust Tree Alley, Jiangzhou City, China! Erase Su Yang along with the entire block from the face of the Earth!" The old man issued a frenzied command.

The command was sent instantly to outer space via encrypted satellite signals.

In geostationary orbit.

A black space station disguised as a decommissioned weather satellite received the command, and its bottom hatch slowly opened.

A mechanical arm pushed out a ten-meter-long solid metal rod made of high-density Tungsten Gold. The metal rod had no propulsion devices on its surface; it relied entirely on the terrifying kinetic energy generated by free fall to strike.

Whoosh!

The Tungsten Gold kinetic rod detached from the space station and hurtled toward Jiangzhou City with a whistle that tore through the atmosphere.

Its speed increased under the influence of gravitational acceleration, soon exceeding ten times the speed of sound. The metal rod rubbed violently against the atmosphere, the high temperature turning the entire rod glowing red, like a falling red meteor.

The air emitted piercing shrieks as the clouds were forcibly pierced through.

Inside Courtyard No. 44 in Locust Tree Alley.

Su Yang was lying on the rocking chair with his eyes closed, resting.

Suddenly, Su Yang opened his eyes, a sharp light shooting from his deep pupils. His vast Divine Sense at the Peak of the Soul Transformation Stage instantly captured the lethal threat coming from outer space.

"An iron rod falling from the sky?" A mocking smile curved Su Yang's lips.

He didn't let Da Hei on the courtyard wall take action, nor did he use the Pure Yang True Fire.

Su Yang slowly stood up. A dazzling silver light flickered at his brow. The power of his Elementary Inner World suddenly activated.

"Let's bring out the new toy and test its power."

Boom!

The clouds over Jiangzhou City were instantly forced apart by a massive and peerless power.

A starship several kilometers long, made entirely of Purple Gold Divine Iron, appeared out of thin air ten thousand meters in the sky without any warning! The surface of the warship was covered with dense lightning Formations, like an ancient giant beast that blotted out the sun, completely obscuring the night sky over half the city.

It was the demon-slaughtering starship that Su Yang had stored in his Inner World!

A thick purple-blue lightning defense shield instantly lit up at the bottom of the warship. Electric arcs danced wildly on the shield's surface, letting out crackling explosions.

A few seconds later.

The glowing red Tungsten Gold kinetic rod, carrying world-destroying kinetic energy, slammed heavily into the demon-slaughtering starship's lightning shield.

The anticipated earth-shattering explosion did not occur.

The moment the tungsten rod touched the purple-blue electric arcs, it was like an ice cream stick falling into boiling molten steel.

Sizzle!

The violent power of lightning instantly disintegrated the tungsten rod's high temperature. The incredibly hard high-density metal didn't even cause a ripple on the warship's shield; it was directly melted by the lightning into a pool of glowing red iron. The molten iron splashed in mid-air like a brilliant firework display, then turned into white smoke and completely dissipated.

A space-based weapon capable of leveling a block couldn't even scratch the surface of the demon-slaughtering starship's defenses.

Su Yang's figure flashed, transforming into a golden stream of light. In an instant, he crossed the ten-thousand-meter distance and appeared directly inside the demon-slaughtering starship's main control tower.

The space in the main control tower was vast, with various holographic screens flashing with blue light.

The subdued elder, Lei Kuang, was standing respectfully in front of the control console. Seeing Su Yang appear, Lei Kuang immediately knelt on one knee.

"Master! The defense System is operating normally. The unknown physical attack has been completely intercepted." Lei Kuang's voice trembled, his eyes filled with awe.

Su Yang walked to the holographic screen and looked at the satellite map of the Earth displayed on it.

"Lock onto the source of the attack and that crappy island of theirs in the Pacific. Charge the main cannons." Su Yang's voice was cold as he issued the command.

"As you command!"

Lei Kuang's hands operated rapidly on the virtual keyboard. The diamond-shaped Crystal Core inside the warship erupted with a low roar.

The deck at the front of the warship slowly split open to both sides. A hundred Lightning Main Cannons, gleaming with cold light, rose in unison. Deep within the muzzles, purple-blue lightning energy began to gather and compress wildly, making a heart-palpitating sizzling sound.

On the holographic screen, a red crosshair precisely locked onto the Alliance's headquarters island deep in the Pacific.

"Fire."

Rumble!!!

The demon-slaughtering starship shook violently.

A hundred purple-blue lightning pillars as thick as buckets were like a Heaven-Defying meteor shower, tearing directly through the Void Realm. The lightning pillars did not travel through the atmosphere; instead, they used the Space-Jump Formations equipped on the starship to instantly cross half the Earth's distance.

On the small island in the Pacific.

The Alliance leader and a group of high-level executives were staring intently at the large screen, waiting for the satellite images of Jiangzhou City being razed to the ground.

Jiangzhou City on the screen was unharmed; instead, the surveillance cameras above their heads transmitted a blinding purple light.

The old man looked up in confusion and peered out the window.

In the sky, a hundred world-destroying lightning pillars, like divine punishment descending from the heavens, directly pierced through the entire island's defense dome.

"No—!"

The old man only had time to let out a desperate scream.

The blinding light instantly stripped everyone of their vision.

The entire artificial island didn't even have time to sink. Under the simultaneous fire of the hundred Lightning Main Cannons, the high-tech buildings on the island, the underground bunkers, and all personnel and equipment were instantly turned into dust in the lightning.

The seawater was instantly evaporated by the terrifying high temperature, creating a massive vacuum zone several hundred meters deep. The surrounding seawater poured back in frantically, forming a giant whirlpool that swallowed everything.

A few minutes later, the surface of the sea returned to calm. Aside from the churning waves, no trace of the island's existence could be found in the Pacific.

Inside the demon-slaughtering starship's main control tower.

With his hands behind his back, Su Yang looked at the images of the sea surface transmitted to the holographic screen, his expression showing no ripples of emotion.
