342: Chapter 342 The Mirror of Reincarnation, refreshed!

Boom—

The last 100-kiloton nuclear missile whistled out.

Compared to a 50-kiloton nuclear missile, a 100-kiloton one might only have 50,000 more in yield, but the effect is not a simple doubling.

Otherwise, one would just mindlessly produce 50-kiloton ones; they have lower production difficulty and are faster to make.

If measured purely by power, a 100-kiloton nuclear missile is more than four times as powerful as a 50-kiloton one.

As if sensing the threat of the 100-kiloton nuclear missile, that tentacle let out a shrill scream and retracted frantically.

This single action completely confirmed Chen Fan's suspicion.

"Run? Can you escape!"

Chen Fan sneered, watching the nuclear missile Tracking and exploding toward the circular hole.

Rumble—

The 100-kiloton nuclear missile exploded.

The tentacle, which hadn't had time to escape, was blown off at the base and crashed to the ground with a roar.

"Focus fire!"

Chen Fan used Teleport repeatedly to bring the mothership close.

All firepower devices immediately focused fire, making the tentacle wail incessantly from the explosions.

The other tentacles seemed to sense the crisis as well and began to whip the mothership frantically.

Bang, bang, bang—

Each strike took the lives of millions of Sailors.

After these Sailors were killed by the tentacles, they didn't resurrect on the spot but died permanently!

Chen Fan's eyes narrowed slightly as he continuously purchased new Sailors, then commanded them to take the Teleportation Array to the front lines to operate the firepower equipment.

In mid-air, mushroom clouds rose continuously, and the ground trembled under the explosions.

After several rounds of volleys, Chen Fan's eyes narrowed slightly.

He felt that the interval between the strikes of the other seven tentacles had lengthened.

"Is it working?"

Chen Fan muttered to himself, his gaze sweeping toward the tentacle lying on the ground.

At this moment, the tentacle was a bloody mess, almost blown to bits.

However, unlike the previous tentacle that dissipated after being blown apart, it remained connected to the base by a small section of skin, twitching continuously.

"Could it be that it needs to be completely severed?"

"In that case..."

Chen Fan sneered and shouted:

"Renew Thin Burial!"

Instantly, all SSS-Class Crew Members quickly approached through the Teleportation Array.

"Thin Burial!"

With a wave of his hand, Chen Fan applied Thin Burial to the Crew Members again, and they returned to their posts.

Chen Fan then looked toward the circular hole where the tentacle emerged, at that layer of skin still connected to the base.

"Let's see how much capability you have."

"Teleport!"

Chen Fan cast Teleport repeatedly, but this time, he didn't bring the mothership along; he approached alone.

Because the circular hole area was tightly blocked by the eight tentacles, the massive mothership couldn't get close enough to attack.

Thus, Chen Fan could only risk himself and go alone.

At the same time, the Crew Members on the mothership, under Chen Fan's command, frantically attacked the tentacles again.

Like a final burst of energy before death, the other seven tentacles let out shrill screams and whipped toward the mothership.

All SSS-Class Crew Members, even with Thin Burial applied, did not expose themselves to the tentacle attack range.

They all hid on the second floor, controlling the Sailors to act as scapegoats while they activated the offensive facilities.

The more intense the attacks, the greater the force with which the seven tentacles struck down.

At this moment, the holy radiance crystal energy pulsing on the mothership had thinned significantly.

In many places, the energy no longer floated or pulsed; only a thick layer of energy remained attached to the deck.

According to calculations, almost half of the energy had been consumed.

Noticing this, Chen Fan's eyes narrowed, and he teleported toward the break even faster.

After a few more minutes, Chen Fan finally reached the break.

"I'm not on the warship, so I can't renew Thin Burial. All Crew Members, hide!"

After issuing the command in the Crew Member channel, Chen Fan renewed Thin Burial for himself.

Glancing at the break once more, he sneered and teleported onto it.

"Self-Destruct!"

Rumble—

The sensation of flesh and bone being torn apart throughout his body appeared once again.

Chen Fan grit his teeth, staring grimly at the final layer of skin and flesh that was still connected.

However, until the Self-Destruct energy dissipated, that layer of flesh still hadn't been blown through.

"Damn it, do I have to use a million-ton nuclear missile?"

Chen Fan's eyes narrowed as his body retreated rapidly. His mind raced, carefully considering what other weapons of mass destruction he had.

At this moment, the seven tentacles also noticed Chen Fan's actions and abandoned their attack on the mothership to pounce toward him.

"Watch out!"

"Master, retreat quickly!"

The Crew Members exclaimed.

Although Chen Fan had Teleportation, the five-kilometer distance per jump was practically useless against tentacles with a diameter of a hundred thousand meters.

"Don't worry, I have the Spirit Realm!"

Chen Fan shouted in a low voice: "Spirit Realm Walking!"

Snap, snap, snap—

Several tentacles whipped over in succession, passing right through Chen Fan without causing him any harm.

"Phew, that's a relief."

Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out the tentacles could only see him in his Spirit Realm state but couldn't directly inflict damage.

"In that case, I am an invincible existence!"

Chen Fan sneered and gave the Crew Members the command to attack at will, while he continuously renewed his Spirit Realm and Thin Burial states, waiting quietly.

The tentacles attacked for several rounds without killing Chen Fan, and the mothership began focusing fire again.

The seven tentacles let out a shrill scream and turned back to strike at the mothership.

"Time to move, but how do I destroy this last section?"

Chen Fan rubbed his chin, looking at the nearly severed tentacle, feeling troubled.

This tentacle was obviously the most important one.

After killing it, either the remaining tentacles would disappear directly, or their strength would drop significantly.

But if he didn't eliminate it, even if he destroyed the other tentacles first, they might resurrect again.

After all, the scene of the previous tentacle resurrecting was still fresh in his mind.

But his strongest combat skill, Self-Destruct, had a cooldown of an entire day and couldn't be used again in the short term.

While his mind raced, Chen Fan's eyes scanned back and forth through the system space.

Suddenly, a flash of red caught his attention.

"How could I forget you!"

Chen Fan snapped his fingers and took out the shards he had previously obtained from the red treasure chest.

After the cashback, these shards numbered as many as 1,550.

According to the exchange principles, 1,550 shards could be exchanged for high-level equipment.

He had originally planned to collect five thousand shards to try and exchange for top-tier equipment.

But looking at the current situation, he couldn't wait any longer.

Chen Fan took a deep breath and muttered to himself:

"System, I'm risking my life for you here. It would be unreasonable if you didn't give me something good, right?"

"Synthesize!"

As he spoke, red light flashed explosively.

The 1,550 red shards merged rapidly, emitting bursts of blinding light.

After a moment, the light gradually dissipated, and a touch of green appeared in his hand.

[Synthesized the highest-tier equipment of the same level: mirror of reincarnation.]

[mirror of reincarnation: Refresh! Upon use, all of the host's skill and item cooldowns are reset to zero (the mirror of reincarnation is not affected by any equipment/items that reduce cooldown time). Cooldown: 365 days.]

"Holy crap!"

Seeing the description of the mirror of reincarnation, Chen Fan immediately exclaimed.

At the same time, his gaze couldn't help but sweep toward the skill bar.

[Indestructible Golden Body: When the player receives fatal damage, the Golden Body will be activated. After five seconds, the player will resurrect in full condition, and all skill cooldowns will end. Cooldown: 365 days.]

Although the Indestructible Golden Body couldn't Refresh the mirror of reincarnation's cooldown, it could Refresh Self-Destruct!

In other words, as long as he didn't Self-Destruct while under the Thin Burial state, he could trigger the Indestructible Golden Body.

Once he resurrected through the Indestructible Golden Body, he could Self-Destruct once more!
