Dawn of a New Era-Chapter 532 - 506: Cut the Chatter

Half-meter-high weeds and thorn-filled brambles made it nearly impossible to take a step, while vine-like creepers, resembling spider webs, densely covered the dilapidated buildings.

The ecological recovery after Dongning’s nuclear blast is quicker than expected!

It’s only been half a year.

Yet it’s already full of life.

"Rustle... rustle..."

The grass swayed, and a small, unknown creature, startled, swiftly fled from not far away, leaving a long trail in the grass.

This place has become a paradise for creatures.

Insects and small animals are everywhere.

However, Chen Shouyi dared not be careless; he didn’t need to imagine to know that the radiation here exceeded acceptable limits.

He strode swiftly forward.

Before long, he arrived at the entrance of the passage.

There were still no military personnel on duty here; compared to more than half a year ago, it was even more dilapidated. The hall was full of moss, the walls were covered in mold stains, and the air was filled with a musty, decaying odor.

Chen Shouyi pulled the still drowsy Shell Lady from his chest and placed her to one side.

He reached down to grip the bottom seam of the iron door and exerted force suddenly.

The ground quivered slightly.

The rubber soles of his shoes were instantly crushed into soft clay, his feet sank deeply into the ground, sending up a cloud of dust.

His face turned bright red, veins bulging on his neck, while the iron door emitted a sharp, teeth-grinding sound, rust flaking off in showers.

"Boom!" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

He released his strength.

"I still have to rely on the Giant Transformation!"

Now his arm strength exceeded four tons; compared to his last visit, it had increased by fifty percent, yet he still couldn’t lift it.

In the end, he had no choice but to transform again in order to pass through the passage smoothly.

...

It was night in this alternate world as well.

Pitch black.

The sky showed no trace of light.

A chilly sea breeze blew across the sea, carrying a hint of brine and moisture.

This return to a familiar place.

Chen Shouyi didn’t feel the slightest joy.

The whole world was suffused with an oppressive atmosphere, and in just one day, all his once sacred places of faith had been entirely occupied by the other party.

Chen Shouyi walked to the high ground of the island and gazed at the sea.

His heart couldn’t help but pound violently.

Before coming here, he felt a burning desire for revenge, but once here, he felt his limbs growing numb, his heart racing uncontrollably.

To say he was not nervous would be impossible.

This time the enemy was a True God, far beyond a Demigod, especially since this was an alternate world where the True God’s power was more mysterious and unpredictable.

Chen Shouyi was both tense with worry and excited with a thrill of anticipation and eagerness.

He looked into the distant darkness:

"What’s there to be nervous about!"

"Maybe it’ll be over in a snap!" Chen Shouyi mused.

Moreover, if he couldn’t win, he could always just retreat.

He planned to first enter the Memory Virtual World, to assess his strength before deciding on his next move.

He carefully observed his surroundings.

The Shell Lady had woken up, sensing the frantic aura in the air, she anxiously said, "Great Giant, can we go back now?"

"But this is the island where you were born!" Chen Shouyi replied with a smile, withdrawing his gaze.

"But... Little Shell doesn’t like it here anymore," the Shell Lady shook her head vigorously. "This place is no good!"

"Good girl, don’t be afraid. The Great Giant will fight the bad guy. Meanwhile, you can hide in there. The bad guy can’t get in; it’s very safe," Chen Shouyi pointed to the Spatial Passage not far ahead and said.

The spatial passage was only about two meters in diameter, incapable of accommodating the huge size of the Barbarian God, so it couldn’t get in.

The Shell Lady, upon hearing this, suddenly felt reassured and defended herself, "Actually, Little Shell just doesn’t like it here, not afraid at all."

"I know!"

Chen Shouyi retreated into the spatial passage, not caring about the dust all over the ground, sat down, and said to the Shell Lady, "I need to take a short nap now, keep an eye out for me!"

"You mean help the Great Giant kill bad bugs?" the Shell Lady asked.

"Yes!"

The Shell Lady showed her small white fist confidently, "Great Giant, go ahead and sleep. Leave it all to the mighty Little Shell."

"Little Shell is so obedient."

Chen Shouyi smiled.

Saying this, he closed his eyes, entered the Book of Knowledge Space, and chose to access his current memories.

He set foot on the island once more.

Looking over the sea, he leapt and soared into the sky towards the sea.

With willpower reaching nine hundred kilograms, he could still support his body in short-distance flight even under triple gravity. The speed was only half that on Earth, reaching about a hundred meters per second.

"Hey there, time to meet your end!"

Flying over the sea, Chen Shouyi roared wildly in the common language.

The sound dissipated into the air, spreading into the infinite distance, and after several calls,

Gradually, an indescribable aura filled the surroundings, and the airflow started to become chaotic.

Darkness seemed to deepen, the previously gentle waves turned into turbulent waves, rapidly transforming into a raging ocean, a tumultuous aquarium as if a terrifying prehistoric giant beast was about to emerge.

"How did it come out so fast? I wasn’t ready!" Chen Shouyi’s face froze in shock. "How am I going to fight on the sea, transforming would just make me fall into the water."

He looked at the island still tens of kilometers away and realized there was little hope of reaching it before the Barbarian God appeared, so he reluctantly began to slowly descend towards the sea surface.

"Foolish ant, dare to come and court death," a dull roar echoed like thunder, simultaneously, a massive hand seemingly made of seawater rose from the sea, rushing towards Chen Shouyi with a surge like a tidal wave, blocking out the sky.

This hand was at least fifty or sixty meters wide, completely condensed from seawater, its surface vivid as if real.

"Damn! Isn’t this a bit over the top?"

He cursed in his heart, frantically retreating while hastily transforming, but his willpower could no longer support his heavy body, causing him to quickly plunge towards the air, and before he could fall into the sea, he was tightly clenched by the massive hand of seawater.

"Boom!"

In the next moment, this hand exploded suddenly, blasted into steam by Chen Shouyi’s punch, reverting to seawater again.

Simultaneously, Chen Shouyi’s massive body also fell into the water, sending up a gigantic splash.

"What a powerful being, but the ocean is my domain, even a being with Weak Divine Power wouldn’t dare fight me here!"

As the roar echoed,

The sea parted like walls of water, and a ferocious Giant Beast just as huge as Chen Shouyi’s giant form partially surfaced, its bulging eyes, like a toad’s, fixed intently on Chen Shouyi.

From calling him an ant to acknowledging him as a powerful being, along with the implicit threat in its tone.

Clearly, the Giant had made the Sea God feel a huge threat.

Indeed, it’s Weak Divine Power, Chen Shouyi stabilized himself amidst the waves, impatiently said:

"Stop blabbering, I’m in a hurry, come and let me finish you off quickly!"

...

A few seconds later.

Inside the passage, Chen Shouyi suddenly opened his eyes:

"Big mistake, fighting in the sea is too difficult, it’s like being at someone’s mercy, no chance to fight back, died without even fully testing my strength." He suddenly had a thought:

"Is the ocean this Barbarian God’s domain..."

...
