True Apocalypse Game

Therefore, when they saw that the nano-metal mesh could heavily wound the Exotic Giant Beast, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This meant that the subsequent preparations would also be effective!

The next moment, another series of muffled rumbles came from the seabed, like rolling thunder, sounding hundreds of times in succession.

This time, the Exotic Giant Beast had triggered the tens of thousands of depth charges laid out in the sea above the Space Wormhole!

These depth charges had also been modified. They no longer relied solely on pressure for lethality but also possessed a powerful fragmentation effect.

As long as the Exotic Giant Beast appeared and surfaced, it would be bombarded by these tens of thousands of depth charges!

The explosions were incessant. Soon, rolling waves surged upward, making the entire sea surface seem to boil.

Simultaneously, drones appeared in the sky, dropping sonic beacons into the sea. They also switched on their searchlights, casting powerful beams of light onto the center of the Wormhole Sea Region.

The densely packed depth charges on the seabed formed a net. The explosions above, combined with the luring lights, created a channel in the sea outside the Wormhole.

If the Exotic Giant Beast tried to swim in any other direction, it would be injured by the depth charges. With the added lure of the beacons and lights from above, the beast would inevitably be forced to surface.

Humanity did not have to wait long. Just a few seconds later, as a monstrous wave erupted from the center of the Wormhole Sea Region, the mysterious beast burst through the thousands-of-meters-deep water, appearing before their eyes.

Massive.

This thing was simply too big!

Its body was so long it couldn’t even fully submerge itself in the water!

This area of the sea north of the Bering Strait was only a few thousand meters deep—for this beast, it was no more than a bathtub!

It had a body as massive as a mountain range, a wrinkled, gray carapace like rough stone, and a colossal head resembling that of an octopus or a colossus. It had thousands of giant tentacles, each tens of meters thick and thousands of meters long, and hundreds of giant, crab-like limbs, sharp and hard, also thousands of meters in length. Two yellow eyes, each the size of a basketball court, gleamed with greed and savagery.

All these features combined to form the mysterious Exotic Giant Beast.

And now, the beast had passed through the Space Wormhole that humanity so feared and had truly appeared on Earth!

It was still night. The starlight, combined with the powerful beams from thousands of drones in the sky, illuminated the sea surface and the Exotic Giant Beast’s body, allowing those on the warships of the surrounding cordon, dozens of kilometers away, to see its full form.

The creature was practically a living mountain, a living Hell.

Its surfacing alone had already triggered a violent tsunami, which radiated outward in all directions from the Wormhole Sea Region.

Fortunately, all personnel had been evacuated from the nearby coastal ports; otherwise, it would have been a catastrophe.

If it were to appear on land, in any human city, it would cause a disaster on the level of a nuclear bomb!

Having just crawled through the Space Wormhole, the Exotic Giant Beast seemed to have expended a great deal of energy. It looked a little dazed, turning its two enormous eyes to look at the drones in the sky.

In the command room of the Ford-class aircraft carrier, Clark showed no sign of panic. He continued to give orders:

"Begin Project Zeus. Release the thunder."

The moment he finished speaking, the hovering drones instantly released powerful flashbangs. A sudden, intense burst of light made the beast’s eyes freeze for a moment.

At the same time, the drone swarm released the missiles suspended beneath them. Thousands of missiles flew at close range toward the Exotic Giant Beast’s two massive eyeballs.

Meanwhile, the two Electromagnetic Railguns on the Ford-class aircraft carrier and the George H.W. Bush-class aircraft carrier roared to life, firing two arcing metal projectiles that shot toward the Exotic Giant Beast’s enormous eyes!

Although fired later, the two metal projectiles arrived first, crossing the distance of dozens of kilometers in an instant.

With a dull THUD, the Exotic Giant Beast’s two eyes were shattered by the Electromagnetic Railgun projectiles. The next instant, thousands of missiles also struck the eyeballs and began to detonate.

From a distance, it looked as though fireballs were erupting from a mountain in the dead of night.

"WHIIIIIIINE—" A furious sound wave emanated from the Exotic Giant Beast. At that moment, humanity realized its roar was the same humming sound from before!

This attack had clearly enraged the Exotic Giant Beast. Its tentacles and limbs began to flail wildly, stirring up mountain-like waves and swatting the surrounding drones out of the sky.

But just then, the missile swarm that had just been launched from the warships descended from the sky. They were precision-guided into the Exotic Giant Beast’s eye sockets, followed by a series of explosions.

Torrents of green blood poured like waterfalls from the Exotic Giant Beast’s shattered eye sockets, gushing into the sea.

The Exotic Giant Beast’s eyes were now completely destroyed. Instantly plunged into endless darkness, it could only flail its tentacles madly.

This was the greatest secret the Salvation Army Warriors had received from their Commander: the Exotic Giant Beast’s weakness—its eyes!

Its eyes were the only part of its body not covered by the carapace. Although it had eyelids, they could not withstand the impact of an Electromagnetic Railgun. This was humanity’s only chance of victory!

Hundreds of missiles simultaneously flew into its eye sockets and detonated inside, immediately causing the mountain-like beast to roar in a frenzy, emitting waves of humming sounds.

Many biologists had previously speculated that the Exotic Giant Beast might not feel pain, but it now seemed that was not the case.

Watching the footage sent back by the reconnaissance drones, Zhao Weiguo couldn’t help but nod slightly in the rocking command room of the aircraft carrier.

’The Eagle Country People truly live up to their reputation as a long-standing military power,’ he thought. ’Their tactical proficiency is admirable. This series of attacks seems simple, but the timing is extremely precise.’

’If the Exotic Giant Beast were to dive into the sea and swim out of the ambush zone, human warships wouldn’t have the speed to do anything about it.’

’The only way is to deal with this monster right here, in the ambush zone outside the Space Wormhole.’

Seeing that the attacks were effective and that the heavily wounded Exotic Giant Beast was clearly trying to dive into the sea to escape, Clark immediately gave another order:

"Submarine attack! Launch tactical nuclear torpedoes!"

Tactical nuclear torpedoes were arguably the most powerful underwater weapons. Although they would cause minor radiation contamination, there was no time to worry about that now.

Then, just as the mountain-like beast began to sink beneath the waves, massive columns of water erupted around it—the result of several hundred-ton-class tactical nuclear torpedoes detonating upon impact.

The violent force of the explosions and the pain immediately forced the beast to surface again.

Clark looked up at the sky and saw a fiery meteor with a long tail rapidly falling, like a thunderbolt from Zeus.

Its target was the Exotic Giant Beast in the sea.

Clark couldn’t help but let out a long breath and said calmly:

"The thunder has arrived. Project Zeus is nearing its end. Prepare for radiation. Goggles on."

Then, the fiery meteor instantly disappeared into the Exotic Giant Beast’s body through one of its ruined eyes.

The next moment, the beast shot upward as if leaping out of the sea. Its body began to swell rapidly, and a bright light flashed from beneath its gray skin.

"BOOM—" A 500,000-ton nuclear warhead detonated inside the beast, tearing its body apart from within. Its central nervous system, which controlled its entire body, was also catastrophically damaged.

From the outside, countless small cracks appeared on the beast’s body, with a blinding light shining through them.

But its body did not shatter; its insides were merely burned to ash or even melted.

Flames a hundred meters long, followed by an intense light, gushed from its two enormous, already-destroyed eye sockets.

From a distance, it looked like a gigantic, fire-breathing Demon standing in the middle of the sea.

Its tentacles, each fifty meters thick, now hung limply around it, transformed into lifeless things.

The faint smell of something burning drifted over, only to be scattered by the sea breeze.

On the Ford, the entire crew had already donned chemical-biological suits and triple-layer protective masks.

To avoid the strong electromagnetic pulse from the nuclear detonation, the entire ship had been shut down. Now, with the engines and electrical systems restarting, Clark could finally get a clear look at the dead Exotic Giant Beast.

He could no longer hide his joy and broke into a relieved smile.

Just then, the aircraft carrier shuddered violently, causing him to stumble.
