395: Chapter 395 The Blue Light at the Bottom of the Pacific Ocean, the Metal Pyramid in the Deep Sea!
Inside the control tower of the demon-slaughtering starship, the holographic screen flickered with a faint blue light.
On the screen, images from the depths of the Pacific Ocean were clearly visible. The power of a simultaneous volley from a hundred Thunder Main Cannons had completely erased the target island along with the bedrock of the crust beneath it. Seawater poured in frantically, forming a deep-sea whirlpool over ten kilometers in diameter.
Lei Kuang stood before the console, hands at his sides, with a respectful expression.
Su Yang looked at the splashing water on the screen, his expression showing not a single ripple of emotion. He turned around, his thoughts shifting slightly.
The massive demon-slaughtering starship emitted a low rumble. Formation patterns flowed across the hull's surface, and the entire battleship transformed into a streak of dazzling white light, instantly drilling into the Inner World within Su Yang's glabella.
The shadow that had blotted out the sky over Jiangzhou City vanished instantly. Sunlight once again spilled onto the streets. Citizens emerged from their shelters and looked up, assuming the military had conducted a holographic projection exercise, and quickly returned to their normal urban lives.
Locust Tree Alley, Courtyard No. 44.
Su Yang landed steadily on the bluestone floor in the center of the courtyard.
Qin Xueji, holding a tablet and wearing high heels, walked over quickly. Her high-end black suit made her look very capable, and a flush of excitement was visible on her fair face.
"Boss, all funds have been settled. The Global Technology Alliance's industrial chains worldwide have completely halted due to the loss of central funding. The Qin Group's acquisition team took the opportunity to enter the market and bought a large number of core technology companies at low prices."
Qin Xueji slid her finger across the screen, pulling up an asset list.
"The amount of money is too vast; it's enough to buy dozens of small countries. The Qin Group's current scale has already surpassed any tycoon in the Secular World."
Su Yang walked to his exclusive rocking chair and sat down, picking up a cup of warm tea from the stone table and taking a sip.
"Whether there is much or little money, it's just a number. Pick the useful technologies to keep and split up the useless junk industries to sell off. Su Yang doesn't support idlers."
Qin Xueji nodded heavily, clutching the tablet to her chest: "Understood. Xueji will definitely manage these assets well."
Just then, a ripple-like distortion appeared in the air in front of Su Yang.
A holographic image lit up. 'Zero', the host System of the Mechanical Divine Kingdom, emerged in mid-air. She wore a silver tight-fitting combat suit and possessed exquisite beauty, yet she lacked any human emotional fluctuations.
"Dominator. The satellite network has captured an abnormal energy reaction," Zero's voice was ethereal and cold.
A holographic screen expanded in the middle of the courtyard. The image switched to the Pacific sea region that had just been bombarded by the demon-slaughtering starship.
The inflowing seawater gradually calmed. However, within the unfathomable seafloor rift, a cluster of dazzling, eerie blue light began to glow.
The light grew brighter and brighter, eventually transforming into a blue light pillar a hundred meters in diameter that pierced through ten thousand meters of seawater and shot straight into the clouds. The surrounding sea surface boiled from this energy, sending up massive clouds of white steam.
Bai Li stepped forward, her purple eyes fixed on the holographic screen, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.
"Husband, the energy fluctuations in this light pillar are very peculiar. It doesn't seem like the spiritual power of the Cultivation World, nor does it belong to the Nether Death Qi. it is very rhythmic, like a highly compressed energy matrix."
Zero continued to report the data: "Dominator, according to the Mechanical Divine Kingdom's database comparison, this energy belongs to a high-level civilization creation. The Alliance's real purpose in building their headquarters on that island was not for concealment, but to secretly excavate an ancient technology relic beneath the seafloor under the island."
"The starship's main cannon attack destroyed the island and also happened to shatter the disguised rock layer on the outer shell of the relic, causing the relic's core energy to leak out."
Su Yang looked at the blue light pillar on the screen, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
"Interesting. Earth actually hides such good things."
He stood up and stretched his arms, his bones making crisp cracking sounds.
Spinning around Ancient Tombs and piles of white bones every day was indeed a bit boring. This new toy, full of unknown technological vibes, was perfect for relieving his boredom.
"Xueji, you stay home and handle the Secular World's business. Bai Li, Chu Ling, Mary, come with me."
"As you command, Boss." Qin Xueji obediently took a step back.
Mary excitedly flapped her black bat wings, her tight leather outfit outlining her explosive curves: "Great! I can finally go out and play! I hope I encounter some fresh blood under the sea; eating vegetarian every day has made my mouth so tasteless it's driving me crazy."
Chu Ling's ice-blue dress fluttered in the wind, her expression calm. To an Unmelting Bone, the low temperature of the deep sea felt as comfortable as going home.
A silver light flashed at Su Yang's glabella.
The demon-slaughtering starship appeared out of thin air once again, hovering above the clouds high over Jiangzhou City with its optical stealth mode activated.
The four of them turned into streaks of light and instantly leaped into the starship's control tower.
"Initiate space jump. Target: the Pacific energy overflow point," Su Yang ordered.
Lei Kuang's hands moved rapidly over the console. The battleship's core erupted with powerful Law of Space.
The scenery outside the window blurred instantly. A few seconds later, the starship had crossed half the globe and appeared above the surging waves of the Pacific Ocean.
Below, the blue light pillar pierced straight into the sky.
"Dive.", Su Yang said.
The bow of the demon-slaughtering starship pointed downward, and a purple-blue thunder shield expanded around the massive hull. The battleship was like a giant whale entering the sea as it plunged into the deep ocean.
The seawater was forcibly pushed aside. The powerful water pressure slammed into the thunder shield but failed to stir even a single ripple.
One thousand meters. Three thousand meters. Eight thousand meters.
As the depth increased, the surrounding light vanished completely, leaving only the beams from the battleship's searchlights. Deep-sea creatures like giant squids, sensing the destructive pressure emitted by the starship, fled in terror.
They descended to the bottom of the trench, twelve thousand meters deep.
The scene ahead made everyone's eyes light up.
Above the pitch-black silt of the seafloor stood a massive metal pyramid a thousand meters high.
The pyramid was made entirely of an unknown silver-gray metal, its surface as smooth as a mirror without a single seam. It was covered with energy circuits emitting an eerie blue glow, which, like human blood vessels, transported energy to the top of the pyramid.
The soaring blue light pillar was precisely what was being fired from the tip of the pyramid.
The outer perimeter of the pyramid was enveloped in a translucent blue energy shield, which held tens of thousands of tons of seawater firmly at bay.
"What a magnificent structure. There isn't a single trace of corrosion from the seawater on the surface; its technological level surpasses the Secular World by tens of thousands of years," Bai Li remarked softly, swaying her round fan.
The battleship's searchlights swept across the area surrounding the pyramid.
Several flat-shaped deep-sea submarines bearing the Global Technology Alliance logo were wandering outside the blue shield like headless flies. They were clearly the remaining researchers of the Alliance, trying to take advantage of the chaos to enter the relic and steal its secrets.
They discovered the enormous demon-slaughtering starship approaching.
The submarines immediately turned around and fired over a dozen heavy deep-sea torpedoes without hesitation.
The torpedoes, trailing long white bubble wakes, zipped through the deep sea and slammed into the starship's thunder shield.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The underwater shockwaves from the explosions stirred the surrounding silt.
When the smoke cleared, the starship's shield was perfectly intact, its light not even dimming. To a battleship forged from Upper Realm divine iron, these Mortal weapons were no different from toys.
Su Yang looked at the reckless submarines on the screen, a sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"Open the hatch."
Su Yang walked out of the control tower and came to the deployment bay at the bottom of the battleship.
The hatch opened. The bone-chilling deep-sea water pressure instantly flooded in.
Dazzling golden Pure Yang True Qi erupted from Su Yang's body. The True Qi transformed into a circular waterless space, forcibly pushing the surrounding seawater ten meters away.
With his hands behind his back, he stepped out of the battleship and suspended himself in the pitch-black deep sea.
Chu Ling and Mary followed behind, curiously taking in the surrounding environment.
Su Yang tapped the void with his foot, and his body shot forward like a golden cannonball, instantly piercing through the deep-sea resistance and appearing directly in front of an Alliance submarine.
The pilot inside the submarine was filled with terror, desperately pulling the control lever in an attempt to retreat.
Su Yang raised his right hand and clenched his fingers into a fist.
The golden fist, carrying hundreds of thousands of pounds of force, smashed into the submarine's hard hull made of special alloy.
Boom!
The submarine's hull instantly caved in and shattered. Terrifying deep-sea pressure flooded in through the cracks. Within seconds, the entire submarine was crushed into a flat iron disc, and the personnel inside were turned into meat paste before they could even scream.
Su Yang's figure flashed repeatedly, leaving a trail of golden afterimages on the seafloor.
In less than half a minute, all the remaining submarines had been smashed into scrap metal by his bare hands, sinking into the seafloor silt.
Having cleared the flies, Su Yang landed in front of the metal pyramid's blue shield.
High-frequency energy waves flowed across the shield's surface. Touching it produced an extremely powerful electromagnetic repulsion.
Chu Ling walked to the shield, eerie blue cold air condensing in her palm.
"Boss, this energy shield's structure is very dense. Let me try using my Mystic Ice Cold Qi to see if I can freeze and shatter it."
Su Yang shook his head.
"For a technological creation, there's no need for such trouble."
Su Yang pressed both hands directly onto the surface of the blue energy shield. He did not ignite his Pure Yang True Fire, but instead purely mobilized his Mid-Stage Transformation Divinity Physical Body strength.
The muscles in his arms bulged instantly, his veins coiling like horned dragons.
"Open up for Su Yang!"
Su Yang let out a low roar, his fingers digging firmly into the invisible energy barrier, and he violently tore it toward both sides!
Creeeeak—!
The ear-piercing sound of energy tearing echoed through the deep seafloor.
The high-level civilization shield, said to be impenetrable even by nuclear bombs, was actually torn open by Su Yang's logic-defying violent pulling, creating a massive crack over ten meters high!
Blue energy currents jumped frantically at the edges of the crack, attempting to close it again, but they were held firmly open by Su Yang's powerful physical strength.
"Go, get in."
Su Yang stabilized the crack and signaled for the three women behind him to enter.
Bai Li smiled and led the way in. Chu Ling and Mary followed closely behind.
Once all three had passed through, Su Yang released his hands. The blue crack snapped shut instantly, completely sealing out the deep sea.
Inside the pyramid, there was no seawater.
The air was very dry, carrying a faint metallic smell of disinfectant.
Before them was a wide silver metal passage. On the walls on both sides, a hexagonal blue light source shone every five meters. The floor was spotless.
The group walked forward along the passage.
Their footsteps echoed in the empty, quiet metal corridor.
After walking for about a few hundred meters, a huge double sliding door appeared ahead.
Red alarm lights flashed on the surface of the sliding door.
"Warning. Unauthorized biological intrusion detected. Initiating internal purification program."
An emotionless mechanical electronic voice announced over the passage's intercom.
The sliding doors opened rapidly to both sides.
Behind the doors stood a neatly arranged row of over a hundred Battle Robots, each three meters tall and entirely silver-white.
The robots' eyes lit up with a dangerous red light. The front of their right arms lacked hands and were instead equipped with high-speed rotating Plasma Cutting Blades. Their left arms were energy cannon barrels emitting a blue halo.
"Targets locked. Executing elimination."
The hundred Battle Robots took heavy steps, their treads making a slight noise as they rubbed against the floor, advancing toward Su Yang and his companions like a relentless iron army.
