118: Observer

A deafening roar echoed through the hall!

That wasn't sound traveling through the air, but an extremely low-frequency infrasonic wave!

"Buzz—"

Inside the cockpits of the three mechas, the heads of Wang Yi and the others felt as if they had been struck hard by an invisible heavy hammer; their vision instantly went black, and their ears buzzed.

"Ugh! My head!" Chen Hu clutched his head and roared in pain.

"No... I can't concentrate... the aiming system has failed!" Zhao Zihan's voice was also full of agony.

Even Wang Yi, with the strongest willpower, felt his brain turn into mush; the world spun, and even controlling the mecha became incredibly difficult.

The monster crawling out of the energy well finally revealed its full form.

It was a terrifying behemoth over fifty meters tall, resembling the sea dragon Leviathan from Western mythology!

But it wasn't purely flesh and blood; its entire body was covered in thick, dark-gold armor with a metallic sheen. Its back was even equipped with dozens of densely packed missile silos. Its eyes were two electronic eyes emitting a cold red light.

This was a mechanical Leviathan, modified by the Atlanteans using black technology!

[Species: Deep Sea Lord · Leviathan (Mechanized)]

[Danger Level: A]

[Abilities: Antimatter Armor, Full Salvo, Infrasonic Roar]

[Weakness: High-intensity energy attacks can overload its armor, temporarily paralyzing it. Its core cooling vent is located at the armor joint behind the neck.]

"Another one of these annoying area-of-effect attacks."

In the Operations Center, Su Yuan frowned as he watched the suffering of his team members.

This kind of attack, which directly affected the spirit and the brain, was the most difficult to counter.

Without any hesitation, he opened the Administrator panel again.

"Want to play with sound waves? Then I'll make you completely mute!"

[Administrator Domain: Rule Rewrite]

[Instruction: Within the designated area (Energy Hub Hall), forcibly block the transmission of all infrasonic and ultrasonic waves.]

[national fortune points consumed: 5,000 points.]

[Execute!]

An invisible, supreme power of rules instantly descended upon the Energy Hall.

The mechanical Leviathan seemed to sense something; it opened its bloody maw and let out another roar.

But this time, nothing happened.

Its infrasonic waves, which were enough to make enemies dizzy and mentally deranged, were completely wiped out by an invisible force the moment they were emitted, dissipating into nothingness.

Inside the cockpits, the agonizing pressure vanished instantly.

"Huh? It's gone?" Chen Hu shook his head, feeling his mind clear up again.

"It's the Administrator! He acted again!" Wang Yi reacted immediately.

The Leviathan also seemed to feel angry and confused because its attack "misfired." It gave up on the sonic attack and switched to its most powerful weapon.

The covers of the dozens of missile silos on its back opened simultaneously, revealing warheads flashing with dangerous red light.

"Full Salvo!"

A cold, synthesized mechanical voice sounded.

The next second, over a hundred micro-missiles trailing long plumes of flame swarmed toward the three mechas like a cloud of bees!

"Scatter!" Wang Yi shouted.

The three mechas immediately evaded in three different directions.

"Boom boom boom boom—"

The dense explosions whipped up a steel storm within the hall!

"No! Its firepower is too intense! We can't get close at all!" Chen Hu was covered in soot; although his titan mech was thick-skinned and durable, he could only take a beating under such saturated attacks.

"Its armor is too hard! My harpoon only leaves a white mark on it!" Zhao Zihan's voice was also full of helplessness.

"Attack its cooling vent!"

Just then, Su Yuan's instruction reached Wang Yi's ears with precision.

"Behind its neck, at the joint between the third and fourth armor plates—that's its core cooling vent! Attack there with your Plasma Spear; it can directly detonate its energy core!"

Wang Yi's eyes sharpened.

"Chen Hu! Zhao Zihan! Cover me!"

"Roger!"

Chen Hu roared and stopped evading; instead, he braved the fire of the explosions and charged straight at the Leviathan, using his heavy body to tightly grab its neck!

"Hurry! I can't hold on for long!" Chen Hu's mecha groaned under the strain of the Leviathan's frantic struggling.

Zhao Zihan also gave up on her ineffective attacks and instead used the electromagnetic cannon to constantly harass the Leviathan's eyes, drawing its attention.

This was the chance!

Wang Yi's thor mecha, like a bolt of lightning in the dark night, circled behind the Leviathan.

The tip of the spear in his hand once again lit up with a golden point of light, more dazzling than the sun, representing destruction!

"It's over!"

Wang Yi roared as he thrust the Plasma Spear, which concentrated all his power, precisely and fiercely into the armor gap behind the neck that Su Yuan had indicated!

"Sizzle—"

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

The mechanical Leviathan's massive body suddenly stiffened.

Immediately after, an extremely unstable, violent surge of energy erupted from within its body!

"Boom—"

An explosion more violent than any before occurred!

The once invincible Deep Sea Lord was blown to pieces after its energy core was detonated, with massive metal wreckage scattered all over the ground.

The battle was over.

The final obstacle to reaching the top of the Energy Tower and obtaining the "heart of the sea god" had been cleared.

Wang Yi controlled the thor mecha and slowly flew directly above the massive energy well.

There, he saw it.

He saw the legendary infinite energy core floating quietly in the air, emitting a soft and holy light, as if it contained the mysteries of the entire universe.

—heart of the sea god!

He slowly reached out the mecha's hand toward that azure "heart" to touch it.

However, just as his fingertips were about to touch the "heart of the sea god."

A sudden change occurred!

On the Administrator panel in front of Su Yuan at the Dragon Country National Destiny Operations Center, a sudden, unprecedented flash of blood-red light erupted without warning!

An ear-splitting alarm rang throughout the entire command hall!

A line of large, blood-colored characters composed of an unknown language, filled with a sense of warning, occupied Su Yuan's entire screen!

[Warning! High-dimensional Civilization 'Observer' is detected to be forcibly intervening in the current dungeon!]

[Warning! dungeon parameters are being forcibly modified!]

[Current dungeon Difficulty: S-rank (Epic)]

[New dungeon Difficulty: ??? (Nightmare)]

"What?!"

Su Yuan's pupils shrank suddenly, and a chill rushed from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head!

Observer?

High-dimensional Civilization?

What the hell is this?!

Before he could react to this shocking turn of events, the entire Atlantis, the whole lost city, began to shake violently and frantically!

It was as if an ancient behemoth that had slept for ten thousand years was slowly waking up from deep within the earth's core!

A terrifying, ancient will that transcended gods and laws, indescribable in words, descended!

A majestic, vast voice filled with endless fury rang out simultaneously in the souls of all life within the dungeon and the seven billion viewers worldwide, without needing any medium!

"Who is it—"

"Who dares to covet my divine power?!"

"Who is it—"

"Who dares to disturb my slumber?!"
