True Apocalypse Game

The massive, spire-topped structure, once so magnificent, had now completely revealed its true form. It wasn't some kind of Heaven at all, but a colossal, wrecked aircraft carrier!

A gash over a hundred meters long had split open on the aircraft carrier's deck—clearly the golden gate from a moment ago.

Shen Feng couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

'A Ford-class aircraft carrier.' This was one of Eagle Country's main warships. Clearly, in this world, the carrier and the fleet it represented had been completely annihilated, and the ship itself had been dumped on this island.

To be able to impale a hundred-thousand-ton aircraft carrier on an island like a piece of scrap metal was clearly beyond human capability.

'This must be the work of the World Beast.'

Looking closer, he could see many huge constriction marks on the aircraft carrier's wreckage, their shape closely resembling the World Beast's tentacles.

"Wh-what in the world is that?"

"Why does it look a little familiar?"

"So this is the true face of Paradise Island? Heavens, don't tell me this place is actually Hell?"

"..."

The sailors on the Sail Warship said in trembling voices.

However, compared to the terror they felt moments ago, they were now much more at ease.

Anyone who could break the Purification Church's Evil Magic must mean their Captain had Mana of his own!

Since both sides had Mana, it was just a matter of who was stronger.

"Captain, that... is that a ship? It looks... it looks a bit like that Ghost Ship we encountered..." Old Bill said, frowning. He was clearly much calmer than the others.

Shen Feng gave Old Bill an approving look and nodded slightly.

"Correct. This type of ship is called an aircraft carrier. It's the same class as the Ghost Ship we met before."

Before they had entered the Fog Sea, they had encountered a quantum-state aircraft carrier. It was quite clever of Old Bill to recognize the similarity between the two.

"But... how could this aircraft carrier... how could it turn into that grand hall... I don't get it... I just don't get it..." Old Bill muttered, staring intently at the aircraft carrier impaled on the island.

Witch Tower's eyes, however, were shining with excitement.

She now understood. There truly was a power on this island that could make dreams come true!

According to Shen Feng, this was actually a power of Science. If she could obtain this power, there was so much she could accomplish... especially... especially *that* wish!

Now that the flaw in the grand hall illusion had been exposed, most of it had reverted to the form of the wrecked aircraft carrier's hull before everyone's eyes. Though some parts still retained their palatial splendor, they too were rapidly fading under the crew's observation.

Peering from a distance through the cracks and blasted holes in the aircraft carrier, the crew could see the scene inside.

The interior of the carrier still looked exactly like the splendid grand hall from before, as if only its outer skin had been shed while the dream within remained intact.

"Continue firing! Aim for the cracks!"

Shen Feng snorted and shouted the order. His Silicon-Based Brain instantly unleashed a torrent of powerful brainwaves, influencing those around him through the Sacrificial Helmet.

The sailors immediately opened fire again, this time aiming directly at the cracks in the carrier's wreckage.

The cannons thundered. Cannonball after cannonball, like points of light, hurtled toward the aircraft carrier's wreckage.

This time, a golden light still flickered over the carrier's wreckage, but it only managed to turn a few of the cannonballs into rosebuds. The rest slammed into the wreck, setting off violent explosions!

The entire aircraft carrier shuddered violently under the power of the main cannons, nearly toppling over from the bombardment.

Through his spyglass, Shen Feng saw the Purifiers inside the carrier wreckage thrown into chaos, stumbling and falling over one another.

He could faintly see the Purifier leader shouting something, but the golden splendor inside the aircraft carrier's wreckage continued to fade.

In this process of guiding the Quantum Force Field with a Consciousness Field, it was the Consciousness Field itself that played the dominant role.

Once the Consciousness Field became scattered, the entire construct was bound to collapse into its alternate state.

What's more, there were now several hundred observers—Shen Feng and his crew—who had broken free from the island's Hypnotic Electromagnetic Field and were seeing things for what they truly were.

BOOM! BOOM!

A few more thunderous blasts. The Sail Warship's main cannons blew open a damaged section of the carrier wreck, and the cannonballs instantly detonated inside!

That volley blew countless Purifiers to bits. Many of the blind Purifiers were injured, letting out shrill wails of agony. The once-resplendent grand hall was now completely transformed into its true, grim reality.

The tiers of golden staircases were nothing but hollowed-out compartments inside the aircraft carrier. The flowers were merely moss, the pools of wine just putrid rainwater, and the streams flowing with milk and honey were actually residual fuel leaking from the ship.

There was only rust-eaten wreckage everywhere. Heaven had never existed here at all.

The Heaven created by the Quantum Force Field had completely collapsed, transforming into another kind of reality!

"Focus! We are in Heaven! We are the chosen ones! We will live forever! We are indestructible! Focus!" the Purifier leader roared, trying desperately to reverse the collapse.

At first, his words had some effect. Guided by his voice, some of the Purifiers desperately tried to visualize the Heaven that had been described to them.

A faint golden light flickered within the aircraft carrier's wreckage, as if it were about to transform back into Heaven.

But immediately after, another volley of cannonballs came screaming in, exploding inside when the Purifiers were completely unprepared and inflicting heavy casualties once more.

A crowd of blind followers wailed as they scrambled about, running and fumbling around. In the blink of an eye, several of the sightless Purifiers had run out from the huge fissure in the deck. They sprinted wildly across the island with no purpose or direction, terrified by the collapse of their faith.

The island's heavenly illusion of singing birds and fragrant flowers had not yet completely faded. As the few Purifiers ran, it was as if death itself followed in their wake; everything in their path instantly lost its splendor, reverting to bare reefs and withered moss and seaweed!

As for the imagined beasts, they dissipated at once, as their existence clearly required more energy to maintain.

"Shen Feng, I've located the core of their hypnotic field! It's in the upper-left section of the aircraft carrier wreckage, where the command center used to be!"

Jingwei's voice rang out in Shen Feng's mind. "Also, I have a general location for the Quantum Force Field's energy core. It's directly beneath the carrier wreckage, seemingly buried within the island itself!"

Shen Feng nodded slightly and issued another command.

"Keep firing! Blast this wreck to pieces! Don't let this scum have their disgusting dreams ever again!"
