Extraordinary Voyage-Chapter 572 - 507 Ocean Treasure: Calamity Divine Authority

Perhaps even the World Consciousness was displeased with these two showing off their love on the battlefield.

Hiss—

On the outskirts of the defensive island chain, the second "Giant Species Titan Serpent" that broke away from the interception forces charged onto the small island where they were, bringing with it a stench.

The thick scale armor, resembling stone across its body, provided this nearly 100-meter long beast with an impenetrable defense, easily scattering the Fish People guarding the first line of defense.

Once on land, the Fish People lost the speed granted by the water, and their combat ability against the Sea Monsters rapidly diminished.

From the rear, a group of turquoise "Soul of Drowning" from modern times raised their spiritualized firearms and fired desperately, but had little effect on the Titan Serpent with its tough hide and astonishing vitality.

It wasn't until the two Storm Giant Spirits defending the island took action, summoning a thunderstorm to cooperate with the fearless Fishman Warriors, that its progress was finally slowed.

"Red unit, support the front!"

"Yes, Commander!"

One hundred and fifty red-painted toy soldiers raised their military flags and stepped forward, using ten bronze cannons as their main force, complemented by a dense volley of firearms like a torrential rain, unleashing an infinite stream of metal. The formidable power of the alchemical artillery was enough to pierce the scales of the Titan Serpent.

With the help of this reinforcement, the Church finally suppressed it completely, firmly holding it at the first line of defense. If it didn't escape, they could wear it down to death.

Subsequently,

while the high-tier Transcendent from both sides were temporarily neutralizing each other, the focus of the battlefield shifted entirely to the sea.

At this moment, the giant species Sea Monster, which had taken over command, evidently had a clear mind. Killing as many "Tempest Church" combat personnel was meaningless; they had to break through the defense line and eliminate the "King of Sea Monsters" as quickly as possible.

If the war dragged on until two days later, no matter how great the victory, it would be meaningless, and they would only face utter defeat.

Moo—

In an instant, several gray-black killer whales like small islands among the Sea Monsters received the command. Ignoring the Rapids Fishman clinging to them like ants, they swung their steel giant tails and accelerated with all their might, crashing into the seabed that served as the foundation of the defensive island chain.

Boom!!!

Earth and rocks collapsed, shaking the ground and mountains.

The position they chose to break through was precisely the first island to the left of the main island, and the small island where Aiven and Olivia were only a body-width apart from it.

Even though the distance on the surface of the water wasn't too close, Aiven and Olivia still felt the violent tremors beneath their feet, and even the [Position Ceremony: Red-haired Witch] flickered like a bulb with unstable voltage, taking a while to stabilize.

For humans, rocky islands were considered insurmountable obstacles, but evidently, they were not viewed the same way by Sea Monsters. In the natural world, unenchanted rocks might not even be as sturdy as their bodies.

Moreover,

just like siege warfare on land, when attacking one section of the wall, it was impossible to ignore the others. Even if battles didn't erupt on all fronts, at least equivalent forces needed to be used to firmly restrain them, preventing the opponent from reinforcing other areas.

Naturally, the pressure on Aiven and Olivia, who were on the Left No.2 Island, increased sharply.

The second enormous crab, with heavy armor akin to a fortress, had already crawled onto the island, spewing multicolored foam that shattered into a vibrant toxic mist, swiftly spreading across the island.

Fortunately, after more than a year of warfare, they were well aware of each other's tactics.

"Watch out, it's a Poisonous Scale Crab! Summon the whirlwind, quick!"

The Tier 3 Storm Giant Spirit commander on this island shouted and took the initiative, summoning a whirlwind filled with tiny electric sparks. With the assistance of two Sea Elves who arrived later, they laboriously blew the viscous, multicolored toxic mist towards the sea.

Not intending to remain idle, Aiven turned his head:

"Hesi!"

"Got it, leave it to me."

Olivia responded crisply, gently tapping the ground with her crystal high-heeled shoe, elegantly rotating the gemstone staff in her hand, and raising it high above her head.

The ritual immediately responded to her actions.

Layer upon layer of rune techniques projected lines of red light, weaving a gigantic rhombus-shaped hexagonal structure in the sky above the position. Three nested rune rings layered upon it, with the outer layer being translucent, and a bright red glow constantly flickering in the middle.

Subsequently,

an inexplicable energy followed the trajectory built by the rune technique, converging into it, causing the red glow to abruptly intensify.

The girl imitated the posture of holding a gun, pulling the trigger in her mind.

Swoosh—!

The red glow expanded and contracted, and a wrist-thick beam of red light was emitted, resembling a long, straight red hair from a distance.

With no visible flight process.

Like a swift lance thrown by a fire god, it easily pierced through the massive crab rampaging on the island. The trajectory remained straight, disappearing into the sea without deviation, and even the thick, vibrant carapace of the crab lasted less than two breaths.

The fortress-like massive body slammed heavily onto the beach, releasing an enticing aroma of roasted crab, causing the Fish People on the front line to swallow their saliva in awe.

Simultaneously, within the "Red Hair Crystal" serving as the core of the ritual, several long strands of golden-red crystal threads promptly diminished by one.

"Yay!"

Olivia enthusiastically punched the air with her pink fist; this girl had a natural sensitivity and passion for firearms and ordnance. This was the main reason Aiven entrusted her with controlling the position ceremony, as there was no worry about wasting those precious materials that were challenging to acquire, even with lots of money.

A few breaths later,

the red glow began to flicker again.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

This time, two light beam cannons fired simultaneously, targeting the first Titan Serpent to land on the island and a killer whale resuming its charge towards Left No.1 Island.

Evidently, after realizing the power was excessive, the young woman had timely adjusted the light beam cannon.

The [Red-haired Witch] would not give the enemy any time to respond; being hit the moment they saw the red light, and overcoming the disadvantage of physical projectiles being ineffective against underwater targets, as long as it was aimed correctly, it could hit the target.

Unless one escaped to the seabed, using the layers of dark sea water to attenuate the light beam's energy, being selected by Olivia meant having one foot already stepped into the gate of the Netherworld.

Because on both land and sea, these two large creatures were almost powerless to resist before being slain.

When that point of red light began to flicker again.

"Magic-like Technique, cover that small island for me!"

The successive firing of the magnificent Light Beam Cannon had already caught the attention of the Brotherhood's giant species which served as the commander.

Along with his order.

On the chaotic battlefield.

Whirr—

Among the Sea Monsters, a rare Lanternfish adept in magical attacks began brewing a cold wave, only to be interrupted in its casting by a Sea Elf commanding a wild Sea Monster beneath it.

However, another Golden Line Peacock Cichlid with upturned lips exposed its mouth above the water and spat out a large swarm of over a hundred blue-flame fish, swiftly darting toward the Left No.2 Island through mid-air.

They left a long trail of white mist in the air along their path; though appearing as flames, they actually contained a bone-chilling cold within.

Aiven and Olivia curled their lips into an identical smile:

"Petty tricks."

The red gleam within the rhombic hexahedron intensified like never before, as three strands of golden-red crystal silk in the Red Hair Crystal disappeared simultaneously.

Boom—

A continuous light beam shot out, the bowl-thick beam split into hundreds, like a girl loosening her hair tie and letting her hair cascade down, both beautiful and lethal.

With Aiven's assistance through "Data Visualization," each and every cold-flame fish was hit precisely.

Though each beam's power was not strong, they were sufficient to ignite them one by one.

"Heh heh, get to know the Light Beam Defense System."

In harmonious coordination, the two high-fived in celebration.

Nonetheless, there were aftereffects even in successfully defending.

Following the clash of water and fire, a thick blanket of white mist silently enveloped the entire island, temporarily sealing off the [Red-haired Witch] light beam weapon.

This is the drawback of beam weapons; limited by extreme weather conditions like fog, heavy snow, and heavy rain, they cannot operate around the clock.

The Sea Monster's objective in launching the attack had ultimately been achieved.

Meanwhile, Heimtz, engaged in combat with the "Great Vortex" Charybdis, also noticed the obstruction on the battlefield below, realizing that his Sea Monsters were not achieving a routing victory.

Boom—

After briefly repelling his opponent with a bone war hammer in hand.

A purple tentacle under his white robe gripped a coral-crafted blue-black long halberd, directing it toward the sky.

Rumble!

The moment the long halberd appeared, a thunderous roar suddenly erupted from the ink-dark cloud sea high above, a flash of lightning darted across the halberd, echoing with the lightning in the distance.

Then.

A blue-black light wave, akin to the Black Sea water, spread from the halberd tip, instantly transforming into a dazzling light beam that shot into the pitch-black cloud sea above Heimtz's head.

Wuu wuu wuu...

The atmosphere churned, angry clouds thundered faintly, the entire sea emitted a deep wailing, as if the [Ocean Treasure: Calamity Divine Authority] bestowed by the Mother of Sea Monsters Echidna possessed the supreme power to unleash a world-ending catastrophe.

Effect: As a powerful extraordinary weapon, it significantly enhances its wielder, while also capable of orchestrating four types of natural disasters: volcanic eruptions (areas with underwater magma), storms, thunder, and tsunamis.

Limitation: Each ability can only be used once a month, restricted to Tier 4 Transcendent use.

It's considered one of the mightiest Ocean Treasures above the Black Sea.

The "Shepherd of Tide" Tien Kute once used it against the Rose Sword Saint, yet was defeated before its true power could be unleashed. Today, in the hands of the more powerful chairman Heimtz, it finally meets its glorious moment.

As if drawing on all the electrical charges in these dark clouds, a huge blaze-white spherical lightning slowly descended from the sky.

Amidst the breath-taking radiant flash that held the entire battlefield in suspense.

BOOOOM!!!

With a resounding crash loud enough to rupture ordinary eardrums, the Left No.1 Island and its underlying seafloor were completely obliterated.

The defensive line was... breached.

Heimtz, wielding the long halberd known as [Calamity Divine Authority], was about to press the advantage, but Charybdis countered with a punch to his face, sending him flying through the skies and piercing the cloud sea, vanishing entirely from the sight of those below.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!

Without any command required, a swarm of fearsomely grotesque bugs over a hundred meters long, screeched feverishly as they charged forward first.

[Giant Species: Bobbit Worm]

The feeding organ of the Bobbit Worm, called "pharynx," can invert from inside out. It has sharp jaws at its end; once prey is caught, the blade-like jaws often slice it in half at lightning speed.

This was Heimtz's ultimate ace prepared for this mission.

With the terrifying mandibles of the Bobbit Worm, far surpassing the power of a shield tunneling machine capable of splitting mountains and stones, if even one could drill into the "King of Sea Monsters", it would be enough to make that name history!
