61: Chapter 61 Two cannon shots shatter the abyss behemoth!

Blinding crimson system alerts flashed frantically in his field of vision.

Lu Yuan shuddered violently.

The momentary romantic fantasies in his mind vanished instantly in the face of an absolute life-or-death threat.

So much for the ice-cold beauty, so much for the tender embrace.

All of it had been cast to the nine heavens by this iron-willed, oblivious man!

"Damn! How did it get here so fast?!"

Lu Yuan cursed foully while scrambling out of the dimensional bedroom.

He felt a lingering fear, secretly grateful that his tolerance for alcohol was decent.

It was fortunate that he hadn't drunk himself into a stupor like Bai Li; if he had truly passed out in that gentle embrace, he probably wouldn't even know how he died!

Lu Yuan dove into the cockpit, his hands turning into blurs as they swept frantically across the control panel.

"System! Start at full power!"

"v-100 turbine aggregation engine, push it to the limit!"

Accompanied by Lu Yuan's roar, a low rumble erupted from inside the Red Wolf Tank, like an ancient beast awakening.

The tracks ground frantically against the ground, and the war machine turned into a bolt of red lightning, rushing directly out of the underground bunker.

Passing through a massive mechanical tunnel, the Red Wolf Tank charged in one breath to the outermost perimeter of the core area.

The moment he rushed out of the tunnel, the scene before him made Lu Yuan gasp.

What came into view were towering black waves all around.

That seawater, polluted by the abyss, was surging toward the core area at a terrifying speed that defied the laws of physics.

In the pitch-black night, those towering waves looked like endless black mountains, descending with an oppressive force capable of destroying everything.

Even Lu Yuan, who was accustomed to life and death, felt goosebumps break out all over his body at this sight.

"I can't let this monster get close!"

Lu Yuan stared intently at the huge, deep red dot on the radar.

He jerked the joystick, the turret on the roof rotated rapidly, locking onto the massive source of the abyss behind the giant waves.

Soul Annihilation Shell, loading!

Target locked!

Main cannon, begin charging!

Thirty seconds, main cannon attack multiplier x1.

Sixty seconds, main cannon attack multiplier x2.

...

Main cannon attack multiplier x5, charging reached the limit!

"Tyrants Rage, activate!"

Lu Yuan's eyes were bloodshot as he slammed down on the red button marked with a skull.

Ten times the rage damage was instantly applied.

Terrifying energy condensed at the tip of the cannon barrel into an extremely unstable black hole.

Watching the black mountain drawing closer and closer, the "beep, beep, beep" sound of the radar lock continued to blare.

Lu Yuan let out a fierce shout.

"Eat this, you bastard!"

Boom—!!!

A beam of intertwined black and white light, mixed with the crimson, violent energy of the Soul Annihilation Shell, blasted out instantly!

Just as the shell left the barrel.

A deep red system warning box suddenly popped up.

[Warning! Mental value decreased by 30%!]

Lu Yuan felt as if his brain had been hammered by a heavy weight, and a wave of dizziness and vertigo washed over him.

His vision went black instantly, and a trace of blood even seeped from his nasal cavity.

So this was the price for using a soul weapon!

He shook his head hard, bit the tip of his tongue to force himself to stay awake, and looked forward with narrowed eyes.

It hit.

In the dark deep sea in the distance, a painful roar that shook the heavens suddenly erupted.

This sound seemed to strike directly at the soul, shaking the entire seabed to the point where the ground trembled violently, and countless ancient mechanical structures collapsed.

The Abyssal Behemoth that had taken the Soul Annihilation Shell was rolling frantically in the waves.

But the heavy injury did not make it retreat; the intense pain only completely incited its ferocity.

Its movement speed increased dramatically once again!

Lu Yuan wiped away his nosebleed, his eyes fierce, and the main cannon began charging again.

Just a few minutes later, the behemoth rushed to the edge of the core area like a mad demon.

"Rumble!!!"

Violent black waves, mixed with destructive power, slammed heavily against the blue energy light screen on the perimeter of the core area.

Through the violently shaking, crack-filled light screen.

Lu Yuan saw a scene that made one's breathing stop.

This behemoth emerging from the abyss was like the giant Kun from myths and legends that could swallow the world; its size was so massive that it completely obscured the pitch-black sea area outside the entire dome.

It was like an endless, living mountain range, its broad back covered in pitch-black, barbed scales.

The massive fins, which blotted out the sky, flapped frantically in the water; the vortexes they created alone were enough to shred the sturdiest steel aircraft carrier and stir up wave after wave of destructive undercurrents.

And what made one's scalp tingle the most.

Was that dark golden vertical pupil pressed tightly against the light screen.

This single eye alone was as large as half a city!

That eye was filled with chaos, anger, and endless sorrow.

The massive monster began to frantically ram and bite at the blue energy light screen; every attack made the entire Atlantis shake and tremble.

The cracks in the light screen grew larger, and total collapse was only a matter of moments.

"Beep—Charging complete!"

Lu Yuan looked at the behemoth's blood-red maw, wide open from biting the light screen.

A flash of extreme madness crossed his eyes.

"Swallow this for me!!!"

He pressed the launch button again!

[Warning! Mental value decreased by another 30%!]

A strong sense of detachment made Lu Yuan's vision blur completely, and he gripped the control panel tightly to keep from passing out.

And that single Soul Annihilation Shell, carrying the hope of a fatal strike.

Turned into an extremely brilliant meteor, precisely following the cracks in the light screen, and slammed heavily into the monster's mouth!

There was no sound.

But the next second, a conceptual-level explosion that could not be described in words erupted inside the Abyssal Behemoth.

The blinding crimson light almost illuminated the entire pitch-black sea surface.

"Bang—!"

Accompanied by a sound of a heavy object hitting the ground, muffled to the extreme.

That arrogant, sky-swallowing Abyssal Behemoth seemed to have been drained of all its vitality and crashed heavily onto the seabed ruins outside the light screen.

Mud and sand flew everywhere, and the seawater was churned into a turbid mess.

Lu Yuan resisted the weakness that was making him almost faint and took a deep breath.

He pushed the joystick, drove the massive blood-colored tank, crushed over the debris-strewn ground, and slowly drove toward the edge of the light screen.

The huge Abyssal Behemoth lay in the mud and sand, that dark golden vertical pupil, comparable in size to half a city, was weakly half-open.

"Strike while you're down."

The main cannon on the roof made the sound of mechanical rotation and friction.

The pitch-black cannon barrel locked tightly onto Leviathan's huge eye.

Death Gods Explosive Flame Annihilation Cannon began its merciless charging once again.

Thirty seconds.

Sixty seconds.

Destructive energy gathered frantically at the muzzle.

As long as he pressed the fire button, this ultimate BOSS would completely fall, and a legendary-grade talent would be within his grasp.

But just at the moment Lu Yuan's finger was about to press the button.

He suddenly stopped.

Lu Yuan stared intently at the behemoth's eye, which was within arm's reach on the holographic screen, his brows furrowed tightly.

Something was wrong.

An indescribable, strong sense of incongruity crawled into his heart like a viper.

This Abyssal Behemoth, described by Superbrain as having lost its reason and only knowing how to devour.

In its eyes looking at him right now, there was actually not a trace of brutality or madness.

In that dark golden vertical pupil, what was revealed... was clearly a kind of extremely desperate sorrow.

Moreover, the direction it was staring at was not the Red Wolf Tank at all.

But past the tank, staring intently at the depths of the core area—the mechanical fortress housing the "Superbrain"!

In Lu Yuan's mind, the judgment conditions of the system mission flashed suddenly.

[Leviathan dies, or the Superbrain faction is annihilated!]

"Damn..."

Lu Yuan gasped, veins bulging on the back of his hand gripping the fire button, and cold sweat instantly seeped from his forehead.

"This old guy, this brain in a vat..."

"Wouldn't be using me as a pawn, would it?!"
