113: Well, that guy's finished!
Donghai City Psionic Bureau, Command Center.
“Beep! Beep! Beep—!”
The ear-piercing alarm blared through the entire hall without any warning.
The originally orderly command center instantly fell into a dead silence, followed by an uncontrollable uproar.
All the staff members stood up abruptly, looking in disbelief at the central main screen where the energy readings were skyrocketing, having completely gone off the charts.
The bar graph representing the energy level had broken through the topmost red warning line and was showing a strange dark purple color that represented "unmeasurable."
“What’s going on?!”
“Detected an out-of-spec energy eruption in the direction of the High Seas!”
“My God, with this level of energy fluctuation, has some powerful Yao monster emerged again?!”
Discussions and exclamations rose and fell one after another.
The entire command center was like a pot of boiling water; everyone's face was written with shock and horror.
At this time, Lin Zhengyang, the head of the intelligence group, stepped forward quickly and reported.
“Reporting to the Director, we have a rough idea of what is beneath the sea surface.”
“According to the ancient records of our Psionic Bureau, an ancient Yao tribe called the 'Abyssal Sea Dragon Clan' is likely sleeping beneath that sea area.”
“They are not dragons in the traditional sense, but special existences formed by the combination of powerful sea Yao that fell in ancient times and the remnant Souls of the Dragon Clan, having absorbed endless deep-sea resentment and Yin Baleful Energy. Their leader is known as the ‘Abyssal Sea Dark Dragon’!”
“It is said that this clan is extremely xenophobic and incredibly powerful, possessing the terrifying power to control the deep sea and the Souls of the dead. However, they have been silent for thousands of years and are almost regarded as a legend.”
“However, according to ancient records, although they are evil, they possess wisdom no weaker than humans, and even had a brief, extremely unstable covenant with ancient Cultivators.”
Hearing this, a complex light flashed in Qin Shan's eyes, and he mused, “They possess wisdom? They even had a covenant?”
“If the records are true, perhaps we can try to contact them to resolve this matter peacefully, or even win them over to strengthen our power?”
His words carried a hint of hope and wishful thinking.
After all, facing a terrifying existence that might be Rank Six, if a conflict could be avoided, it would undoubtedly be the best choice.
If they could be won over, even if they just remained neutral, they would be a force that could not be ignored in today's surging world.
Hearing this, Qin Shan also nodded thoughtfully.
Just as he was about to give the order to try and contact them.
A young Special Agent in charge of communication monitoring suddenly took off his headphones and stood up abruptly.
“Reporting to the Director!”
“Report from the front line, Special Commissioner Chen has already headed to the scene alone!”
Hearing this, Qin Shan and Lin Zhengyang were both stunned at the same time.
Qin Shan: “...”
Lin Zhengyang: “...”
The two looked at each other, and both saw the same expression on the other's face.
It was a strange expression of relief mixed with a subtle hint of sympathy.
The atmosphere that was tense and as if facing a formidable enemy just a second ago instantly vanished into thin air.
Qin Shan slowly sat back in his Commander's chair, and his originally tightly furrowed brows completely relaxed.
He picked up the cup of tea on the table that had already gone cold and blew on it gently.
“Fine.”
“Since Special Commissioner Chen has already gone.”
“Then it's fine now.”
Lin Zhengyang also leaned back in his chair relaxedly, even having the mood to straighten his tie.
“Notify the Logistics Department and the Recovery Team.”
Qin Shan took a sip of the cold tea and gave orders indifferently.
“No need to consider any recruitment or winning over, there's absolutely no need for that.”
“Have them prepare the largest specification deep-sea salvage equipment and get ready to enter the site.”
“Mm, help Special Commissioner Chen clean up the scene.”
“Don't let those messy things pollute our marine environment.”
“Yes!”
Although the surrounding Special Agents were still a bit dazed, they subconsciously stood at attention and responded.
They all knew very well that since Special Commissioner Chen had gone to the scene, the matter was already settled.
Moreover, those guys beneath the deep sea were destined to be in pieces here and there, without a whole corpse left.
They had to clean up properly so as not to let them pollute the sea.
This was their absolute trust in Special Commissioner Chen... Inside the Nether Dragon Cave.
Unlike the intense fighting outside, at this moment, the depths of the cave presented a strange and terrifying silence.
This place seemed like a forgotten ancient temple, with a space vast beyond imagination.
Huge coral thickets emitting a faint cold light stood like towering ancient trees, and the ground was covered with the pale white skeletons of unknown giant beasts.
The air was filled with a thick, inseparable cold Death Qi and a majestic Dragon Might. If an ordinary creature were here, their Soul would probably be crushed in an instant.
And in the very center of the cave was a huge throne piled up with countless black crystals.
On the throne, a massive figure was coiled.
A giant dragon with its entire body covered in scales as dark as nether iron, shimmering with a cold metallic luster. It had sharp claws on its belly, a twisted single horn on its head, and pupils like two clusters of burning cold ghost fire.
Just by being coiled there, the pressure it radiated was enough to distort space and make all things surrender.
It was the master of this Nether Dragon Cave, the terrifying existence recorded in ancient books—the Abyssal Sea Dark Dragon!
Just then, a Demonic Evil rushed in in a panic, crawling and rolling, and reported in terror.
“Your... Your Majesty!”
“It's bad! It's bad!”
“Our vanguard troops have all been killed!”
“Moreover, a human has charged straight over, and all the guards outside are dead!”
“That intruder is already about to kill his way in!”
Hearing this, the Abyssal Sea Dark Dragon suddenly opened its eyes, and the ghost fire in its huge pupils jumped violently.
It slowly raised its head, its voice full of majesty and composure.
“What's the panic!”
“It's just an intruder who doesn't know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth.”
“Do you know who the newcomer is? Which expert among the humans? How many have come?”
It tried to obtain more information to judge the situation.
That Ghost Jellyfish Demonic Evil was so scared it almost dissipated, answering tremblingly: “It's... it's a human, just one, but as for his identity, we know nothing at all...”
A hint of doubt flashed in the Abyssal Sea Dark Dragon's eyes, which then turned into annoyance.
“A mere human dares to offend this Emperor's place of slumber? Killing my subjects and destroying my barriers!”
“What audacity!”
Without any hesitation, it let out a vast and majestic dragon roar toward the entrance of the cave.
The sound penetrated the seawater, carrying an ancient and powerful will:
“Human!”
“No matter who you are, where you come from, or why you have come!”
“This place is the sacred domain of this Emperor, the 'Abyssal Sea Dark Dragon'. It is not a place where you can act wildly!”
“Stop immediately and report your origin and purpose!”
“Otherwise, the crime of disturbing this Emperor's slumber will surely cause your Divine Soul to be extinguished, never to be reborn!”
The dragon roar rolled, carrying powerful mental pressure and the Soul shock unique to the Nether Race, enough to make creatures below Rank Five collapse instantly.
This was a warning, a test, and also a posture.
However—
What responded to it was a calm, indifferent voice that contained supreme majesty and extreme contempt.
The voice was not loud, but it was wrapped in powerful energy, clearly penetrating the vast Dragon Might and Nether Qi, accurately resounding throughout the entire cave.
“Noisy!”
“Lie down obediently!”
“Wait for me to come over and slaughter you!”
