87: The end of America!

Riiiip!

A Deep One casually swung the bone blade in its hand, and a US military soldier wearing heavy body armor, along with his armor, was easily sliced in two!

Another Deep One lunged at a soldier, its sharp claws easily tearing open his throat. It then opened its mouth, filled with fine, sharp teeth, and bit off his head in one go, chewing it up with a chilling "crunch."

Even against the tanks of the US military!

These Deep Ones could leap onto the roof of the tanks with astonishing agility, using their glowing, sharp claws to easily slice through the thin armor on top of the tanks like cutting through butter, dragging the crew out and brutally killing them!

A massacre!

This was a thorough, lopsided, and bloody massacre!

The steel defense line that America had spent a fortune building was as fragile as paper in front of these terrifying enemies from the deep sea, easily torn apart, crushed, and submerged!

Countless cameras faithfully projected the bloody purgatory happening on the US West Coast onto every screen in the world.

Those who play with fire will eventually get burned.

This ancient proverb was, at this moment, verified in the most cruel and intuitive way.

America paid the first... and incredibly tragic price for its foolish shortsightedness and greed.

"W-what the hell?! Aren't these alien races allies of the Americans? How could they turn around and attack America?"

"S-so terrifying... Usually, a single giant beast is enough to cause a huge catastrophe, but now... now dozens of them have appeared all at once! And those monster soldiers! How... how is this supposed to be blocked?!"

"I remember now! Divine Summer warned them long ago! These Shadow Scale Clan are here to destroy the world! But the Americans didn't believe it! They even conspired with the tiger, wanting to use the power of the Sea God Cult to eliminate Divine Summer. As it turns out, Divine Summer is protected by the Kraken and is safe and sound. Now the Sea God Cult has backstabbed America, but, America doesn't seem to have a Kraken protecting them, right?"

"Karma! This is karma! How did America treat our Divine Summer before? Now the retribution has all fallen on their own heads!"

"Hahaha, hilarious! Those American idiots were just bragging about how powerful their alien allies were, are you enjoying it now? Enjoy the 'care' of your 'allies'!"

In the underground command center, the deathly silence was broken by Wilson's heart-wrenching roar:

"Hunter Mech units! Engage! All Sons of Titan! All Evolvers! Move up! Pin these monsters to the second line of defense! Not one step back!!"

America had constructed two main defense lines on the West Coast.

The first steel barrier, composed of conventional troops and heavy weapons, had now become ruins and debris, like a sandcastle swept away by a hurricane.

The second line of defense was composed of five hundred-meter-tall "Hunter" mechs built with the nation's full power, thousands of "Sons of Titan" super soldiers injected with giant beast serum, and tens of thousands of high-Rank Evolvers gathered from across the country!

This was America's last and strongest ground force!

As the order was given, the nuclear Fusion reactors on the chests and shoulders of the five Hunter mechs erupted with a blinding, azure light!

The massive mechanical joints emitted a dull hydraulic roar, and the giant chainsaw swords in their hands, comparable to skyscrapers, began to spin crazily, emitting a death roar that tore through the eardrums!

The muzzles of the multi-barreled heavy cannons on their shoulders all raised in unison!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

They took steps that shook the earth, like the last mythical giants, and launched a tragic counter-charge against the terrifying beast tide that was flooding in!

Behind them, thousands of "Sons of Titan," over two meters tall, with muscles knotted like granite and skin shimmering with an inhuman luster, let out beast-like roars and charged closely behind the mechs!

Further back, tens of thousands of Evolvers with various abilities converged into a torrent, various energy lights lit up, making a final stand!

In the desperate yet hopeful eyes of Wilson and countless Americans, the two torrents, representing human civilization and the abyss invasion, collided with a roar!

"Boom——!!"

The leading Hunter mech displayed astonishing combat skills, its massive mechanical arm precisely grabbing the tail of a three-hundred-meter-long giant sea scorpion with a venomous, cold-glinting tail hook that was striking at it!

Its other arm swung the crazily spinning chainsaw sword, with the force of ten thousand tons, hacking fiercely at the relatively fragile neck connection of the sea scorpion!

Zzzzzzz——!!

A teeth-grinding sound of metal clashing and carapace shattering exploded!

Dark green, foul-smelling blood sprayed out like a waterfall!

The sea scorpion's hideous head was actually sawed off, crashing to the ground!

"Took one down!"

A brief cheer rang out inside the mech pilot's cockpit!

However, the joy was fleeting!

On the left and right sides, shadows loomed!

Two other giant beasts of no less size—a bone-spiked terror crocodile and a multi-headed sea snake—pounced simultaneously as if premeditated!

Their giant mouths filled with sharp teeth and limbs containing terrifying power bit and entangled the Hunter mech's arms and torso!

"No! Help! Save me——!"

The pilot's terrified cries for help transmitted shrilly through the communication channel!

The next moment!

Riiiip——!!!

Boom!!!

The massive sound of metal twisting and tearing, along with explosions, drowned out the cries for help!

The Hunter mech that had just achieved a feat of arms was actually torn into several pieces by the two giant beasts!

The internal ammunition and energy detonated, turning into a huge fireball, with fragmented metal parts and flesh falling like raindrops!

The battle below was even more tragic!

Although the American Evolvers were numerous, their average Rank was only around Rank 10, and even the strongest "Sons of Titan," relying on the power of the serum, barely reached the threshold of Rank 15.

And their opponents were thousands of Shadow Scale Clan "Deep Ones" warriors with general strength between Rank 30 and Rank 40!

The scale armor on these monster soldiers provided amazing defense, and their strength, speed, and reaction were completely overwhelming!

They wielded bone weapons or manipulated water currents, like tigers entering a flock of sheep!

Every time their sharp claws swept by, swaths of American Evolvers were cut in half at the waist!

Every water current impact could crush dozens of people into meat paste!

Every time a giant beast's foot fell, it left a huge footprint of flesh and blood!

Especially Morgue!

Even with one arm severed, the water giant of his Incarnation was still incredibly terrifying!

Every wave of his hand could whip up a hundred-meter-high death tsunami, engulfing and shredding the soldiers and weapons across the entire position!

Wherever he passed, only a mess of metal debris and a swamp of flesh and blood remained!

This was a thorough massacre!

In just half an hour!

The five Hunter mechs, which had cost countless resources, all turned into burning scrap metal, scattered along the broken coastline.

Tens of thousands of America's most elite super soldiers and high-Rank Evolvers were almost completely slaughtered!

Blood stained the beach, flowing into the sea, dyeing a large area of the ocean a shocking crimson!

The second steel defense line that America had pinned its hopes on... was as good as non-existent, and completely collapsed!
