103: Titan Gloves

"Captain! Get out of the way!"

Chen Hu's roar exploded in the team channel, his voice filled with an indomitable resolve.

The moment he saw Wang Yi in danger and the base on the verge of destruction, he could no longer hold back.

"Chen Hu! Come back! You're going to your death!" Wang Yi's eyes nearly split from strain; he never expected Chen Hu to be so impulsive.

Confronting a hundred-meter-long prehistoric giant beast with bare hands? How was that any different from a mantis trying to stop a carriage?

However, in the next second, Wang Yi realized he was wrong.

Chen Hu, who had charged out of the base, had somehow equipped a pair of massive gauntlets on his arms that exuded a heavy industrial metallic aesthetic.

The gauntlets were dark gold, nearly half the size of his body, their surfaces covered in complex mechanical structures and energy conduits. Pale blue air currents jetted from the joints, radiating an explosive sense of power... Time rewound to ten seconds ago.

National Destiny Operations Center.

The moment he saw Wang Yi's lightning attack fail and the Megalodon get provoked into charging, Major General Li Guodong's heart sank to rock bottom.

"It's over... It's completely over now..."

General Lin Zhan's face was also ashen as he stared intently at the screen without saying a word.

Only Su Yuan remained calm.

He had anticipated this situation long ago.

"If brute force doesn't work, then use even stronger brute force."

He whispered to himself, his mind racing through the system mall.

Soon, a piece of equipment was locked in.

[Item: Deep Sea Titan Power Gauntlets (Enhanced Edition)]

[Price: 3,000 national fortune points]

[Effect: Built-in miniature gravity pressure engines can instantly create a high-pressure zone at the knuckles, negating 99% of deep-sea resistance and amplifying the user's strength tenfold.]

"It's practically tailor-made for Chen Hu."

Without hesitation, Su Yuan spent 3,000 national fortune points to exchange for it and immediately teleported it directly to Chen Hu in the form of an emergency mission.

[Emergency Mission: Intercept]

[Mission Description: Equip the Deep Sea Titan Power Gauntlets and intercept the Megalodon head-on. Target: Its lower jaw.]

[Mission Guidance: A golden attack trajectory, full of violent aesthetics, has been generated in your field of vision.]

...Inside the dungeon.

When Chen Hu saw the massive gauntlets and the mission prompt appear out of thin air, he was momentarily stunned, followed by pure ecstasy.

Without hesitation, he thrust his arms into them. With a series of mechanical clicks, the gauntlets fused perfectly with his body.

An unprecedented, terrifying sense of power—as if he could shatter a planet with a single punch—surged from his arms into every fiber of his being.

"Hahaha! Perfect timing!"

He laughed loudly, feeling the blood throughout his body burning.

This was the way he was meant to fight!

Without a shred of fear or even a moment's hesitation, he charged straight out of the airlock.

In his tactical visor, the attack trajectory Su Yuan had planned for him was clearly visible; that golden path, like a divine oracle, pointed precisely at the Megalodon's vulnerable lower jaw.

"Get... the hell away!"

Chen Hu let out a silent roar in the seawater, pouring all of the terrifying physical strength enhanced by the t-virus into the Titan Gauntlet on his right arm without reservation!

The gravity pressure engines on the surface of the gauntlet were pushed to their limits in an instant!

Vrrr—

A dull roar.

Around Chen Hu's right fist, the seawater seemed to be forcibly pushed aside by an invisible force, creating a brief vacuum zone!

Guided by the gauntlets' built-in thrusters and Su Yuan's acceleration trajectory, he transformed into a golden meteor in the deep sea. Arriving just in time, he struck a second before the Megalodon could hit the base, slamming his fist violently into the beast's lower jaw!

Time seemed to slow down at this moment.

There was no world-shaking explosion.

Only an extreme, deathly silence.

Immediately after, a visible white circular shockwave erupted outward, centered on Chen Hu's fist!

Wherever the shockwave passed, the seawater boiled and vaporized violently, forming a massive vacuum zone.

The hundred-meter-long prehistoric beast's massive body shuddered violently, and then its lower jaw, strong enough to crush steel, shattered inch by inch under the irresistible, terrifying force!

Countless broken teeth, mixed with black blood, spewed out.

The Megalodon's massive body, as if hit head-on by an invisible giant hammer, instantly lost all momentum and flew backward uncontrollably. It tumbled through the water, smashing several underwater hills before coming to a pathetic halt, cratering the seabed hundreds of meters away.

Such was the power of a single punch!

The entire world seemed to have its mute button pressed at this moment.

In the global livestream rooms, billions of viewers—whether from the Dragon Kingdom or the Lighthouse Country—stared dumbfounded at the shocking scene on their screens, their minds going blank.

What were they seeing?

A human, five thousand meters deep in the ocean, had knocked back a hundred-meter-long prehistoric beast with a single punch?!

This had already exceeded their scope of understanding; it was practically a myth!

In the Lighthouse Country Command Center, the smile on the President's face froze completely. His cigar fell to the floor without him even noticing.

"No... impossible... this is absolutely impossible..." he muttered absentmindedly, his eyes filled with fear and disbelief.

The other members of the Dragon Team were also so shocked by this scene that they were speechless for a long time.

They knew Chen Hu was fierce, but this was on another level!

Only Wang Yi, after the initial shock, had a flicker of a complex expression in his eyes.

He was happy for Chen Hu, but at the same time, the sense of loss from being the team's core became even stronger.

At this moment, Chen Hu, the center of attention, was floating in the seawater, staring in a daze at his titan gauntlets, which were still emitting white steam.

Feeling the surging power still coming from the gauntlets, he grinned, revealing a simple yet wild smile.

"Exhilarating!"

Although Chen Hu's earth-shattering heavy punch didn't kill the Megalodon outright, the damage it caused was very real.

The deep-sea overlord struggled to crawl out of the crater on the seabed, half of its lower jaw completely shattered and blood staining the surrounding water black. For the first time, its gaze toward Chen Hu held fear and wariness.

It no longer charged blindly but maintained a safe distance, slowly circling the base like a wounded wolf looking for an opportunity.

A crisis was temporarily halted by Chen Hu's violent aesthetics.

Inside the Operations Center, General Lin Zhan and Major General Li Guodong excitedly slammed the table and cheered.

"Good lad! Well struck!"
