13: A monster that attacked Sherlock!

“aishiba! Full speed ahead! Break free from it!!”

The Captain shrieked.

“Sir! The engine... the engine is overloaded! The ship... the ship is being lifted by it!!”

The Sailor's desperate cries were drowned out by the screeching of twisting metal.

The next moment!

Under the gaze of countless live broadcast cameras, the Abyssal Giant Pincer Beast’s massive body, like a moving mountain, burst out of the sea!

It exerted force with its right pincer!

Crack—Boom!!!

The thousands of tons displacement Goryeo Destroyer was crushed into two halves like a fragile aluminum can!

Fire, explosions, and desperate screams shot up into the sky!

Debris mixed with human fragments crashed into the sea!

“The Abyssal Giant Pincer Beast has appeared, open fire!”

The voice of Zhang Zhenwu, the Commander of the East Sea Fleet, was as cold as ice,

Issuing the attack order!

Boom boom boom boom boom—!!!

The sky-fillinggunfire instantly engulfed the ferocious giant beast!

Fire and smoke obscured the sky!

The sea was boiling!

However,

As the smoke cleared... only dense, charred spots and a few barely visible shallow marks were left on the Abyssal Giant Pincer Beast's carapace!

The Abyssal Giant Pincer Beast was enraged by this sudden attack,

It immediately roared,

It braved the overwhelming Artillery Fire,

And forcefully approached the East Sea Fleet!

“Don't let this beast get close to the fleet! Since its defense is strong, use armor-piercing shells! Shatter its turtle shell!”

As Zhang Zhenwu's order was given,

Two J-20s swooped down!

Four Eagle Strike-8 Anti-Ship Missiles trailed deathly plumes, accurately hitting the core of the giant beast's carapace!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Flashes of fire!

Smoke billowed!

When the dust settled, everyone gasped!

The Armor-Piercing Warheads, rumored to penetrate 300 millimeters of homogeneous steel, only carved a few arm-thick, inches-deep cracks on the giant beast's mountain-like shell!

This amount of damage,

Was no different from a mosquito bite to a hundred-meter giant beast!

“Roar——!!!”

The Abyssal Giant Pincer Beast was completely enraged!

Its huge compound eyes locked onto the J-20s ascending in the sky!

Its chest and abdomen swelled!

Its mouthpart, full of sharp teeth, opened!

Puff! Puff!

Two Corrosive Water Columns, condensed like high-pressure water jets and as thick as buckets, shot out like venomous dragons!

Instantly spanning several kilometers!

“Evade! Evade quickly!!” The Early Warning Aircraft shrieked!

But,

It was too late!

One J-20 was hit mid-fuselage by a water column!

Its sturdy fuselage melted and broke like butter! It turned into a burning fireball and plunged into the sea!

The other barely dodged the main water column but had half its wing corroded by the splashing venom, tumbling out of control and falling!

“Long-range attack! It... it can spray venom!!”

“Damn it! Our weapons can't hurt it!”

“Sir, that monster is coming for US! What do we do?!”

Terrified shouts echoed in the fleet channel.

The Abyssal Giant Pincer Beast moved its pillar-like appendages, braving the pouring Artillery Fire, like an unstoppable battering ram, crushing towards the East Sea Fleet!

Every step stirred up monstrous waves!

“Stop it! Fill it with lives! We must nail it to the sea!”

Zhang Zhenwu looked at S City, brightly lit and with a population of five million, on the coastline behind him,

His eyes were bloodshot!

“Absolutely... cannot let it land!”

“Yes!!!”

Tragic and resolute roars resounded throughout the fleet!

All warships ran at full power, charging towards the giant beast!

The Artillery Fire became even denser!

Like moths to a flame!

On the distant sea.

Saruman crossed his arms, his scale-covered face filled with contempt:

“Switched to a ‘stronger’ opponent? What a pity... bugs are bugs after all. This firepower... isn't even enough to scratch the Giant Pincer Beast. This time... without a few million lives to fill it... it won't be full.”

Liss nodded, his eyes gleaming with a faint light:

“I heard... this country called Divine Summer has a big firecracker called a ‘Mushroom Bomb’? We can use this opportunity... to force them to use it and see... how powerful it is?”

Saruman scoffed: “A big firecracker? With their low-level technology? Just for a loud bang and some fun! Liss, if you ask me, our Sea God Cult can flatten this planet right now! Why wait for the clan's main army?”

...US Seventh Fleet, enterprise aircraft carrier command center.

General Charles sat with his legs crossed, chewing gum, admiring the scene on the large screen of the Divine Summer fleet struggling against the giant beast, a cruel smile playing on his lips.

“God... General, shouldn't we... help those Divine Summer people?”

A Colonel Staff Officer couldn't help but ask.

“Help?”

Charles looked as if he had heard the biggest joke,

“Our not helping that cute mantis shrimp beat up the Divine Summer people is already our greatest ‘blessing’ to them! Smith, don't forget... how they refused our ‘takeover’ of that octopus a few days ago!”

Another Officer sneered:

“Exactly! These arrogant Easterners... always dream of challenging our hegemony! Today... let this mantis shrimp... teach them a good lesson!”

Charles took a leisurely sip of coffee: “Alright, gentlemen... let's quietly... enjoy this... wonderful performance.”

The globally broadcast footage spread panic like a plague across Divine Summer!

S City quickly fell into chaos!

The train station was packed!

Highways were paralyzed!

People cried, pushed, and shoved, only wanting to escape the impending hell!

“No! The navy can't stop this monster?!”

“We still have the army, I see many troops gathering towards the coast!”

“If the navy's warships and air force's planes can't stop this monster, what good will the army do?”

“At this rate, this monster will land in a few hours, I don't want to die yet!”

“Help! Someone save US——!!!”

Desperate cries echoed across the land of Divine Summer!

The destructive figure of the Abyssal Giant Pincer Beast... continuously magnified in countless terrified eyes!

“Open fire! Open fire!! Blast it to hell!!!”

General Zhang Zhenwu's voice tore through the fleet channel! Hoarse with desperate resolve!

Boom boom boom boom boom—!!!

The East Sea Fleet's warships unleashed their most powerful force!

The shore-based missile batteries erupted like volcanoes, missile after missile carrying Armor-Piercing Warheads ripped through the air, smashing into the crushing mountain!

Fire!

Smoke!

Engulfed the massive body of the Abyssal Giant Pincer Beast!

The sea boiled! The roar of explosions was like the death knell of the apocalypse!

Although the Abyssal Giant Pincer Beast possessed unparalleled powerful defenses.

However,

Even many ants can kill an elephant,

Let alone such terrifying firepower coverage.

Soon,

The Abyssal Giant Pincer Beast's hard carapace was covered in cracks under Divine Summer's terrifying firepower,

In some places, the Abyssal Giant Pincer Beast's crimson blood was already seeping out.
