Extraordinary Voyage-Chapter 569 - 505 Extraordinary War

At the beginning.

The spring sunlight was exceptionally bright overhead, and the sea breeze was mild, marking a rare spell of fine weather.

Gradually.

The sea winds became more tumultuous, and patches of dark clouds began to spread and gather rapidly in the sky, layer upon layer soon shrouding the vast heavens.

Soon.

Rumble...

Crash——

With the rolling thunder as a prelude, a torrential downpour that seemed intent on submerging the ocean poured down, leaving only a white curtain of rain between the sky and sea.

At the same time, as if sensing a terrifying atmosphere from afar.

The various marine creatures, which had become active again in this region with the gradually warming temperatures, fled en masse toward the still freezing Polar Circle to the south as if escaping a catastrophe.

"It's here!"

On the "Tempest Church" side, led by "Great Vortex" Charybdis, Bishop Fisher, and the external Upper-Rank Wizard Princeton, sensed the anomaly instantaneously.

At their feet.

A tightly-knit chain of islands, composed of ten large and small islands, formed a robust defensive barrier. While it appeared distant above the water, the seabed underneath was actually connected, creating a wide, arc-shaped defense band. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

This was the specially selected "birthroom" following the agreement between the "King of Sea Monsters" Kraken and the "Tempest Church".

Crafted to leverage the sea monsters' traits for strategic terrain advantage.

This area already belonged to the continental shelf of the southern "Eternal White Land," backed by a continent, where the seawater was far shallower than the open sea, diminishing the sea monsters' combat effectiveness and preventing any bypass for sneak attacks.

Clang! Clang! Clang!...

The sharp alarm bells echoed continuously over the camp.

The total defensive force, already reaching sixty thousand distributed across the islands, immediately entered a state of readiness, standing alert under the pouring rain and preparing for battle.

In just over ten minutes.

What they saw wasn't the anticipated endless sea monster army, but a spectacular white line surging from the horizon, like thousands of magnificent white horses riding the waves.

And as the continental shelf beneath the water gradually rose, the white line also rapidly ascended, transforming in just a few breaths into a staggering forty meter high, suffocating tsunami!

Rumble rumble rumble——

The massive wave hadn't fully approached, yet the islands beneath their feet had already begun to tremble. If this tsunami really crashed down, not just sixty thousand troops, even six hundred thousand would be effortlessly buried at sea.

Fortunately.

The opponents of the sea monsters were not mere mortals; this was essentially a war of the extraordinary.

On the main island of the defensive chain, a tall woman warrior exuding wild beauty stepped forward.

Her long red hair, braided into nine clasps, hung down to her ankles, and she wore armor seemingly made of dark blue scales, exposing her semi-transparent, water-like skin on her waist, abdomen, and thighs.

She was none other than the rare female Sea God's Son, "Great Vortex" Charybdis.

"Heh, still the same old tricks, no innovation whatsoever."

With a sneer of contempt, this Tier 4 Extraordinary raised her right hand and lightly motioned with her pinky at the surging tsunami.

The next second.

The devastating tsunami, as if drained of all its power.

The wave that had elevated the entire sea into a ridge quickly vanished, and the colossal wavefront crumbled just five hundred meters before the island chain, turning into harmless ordinary ripples.

Using a tsunami against a human city might be effective, but against other high-tier transcendents from the sea, it's just a petty trick.

Afterward.

Charybdis waved toward the sky once more, swiftly channeling the extracted energy to tear open a massive gap in the thick cloud layer.

The warm sunlight reappeared above them, contrasting sharply with the swirling clouds in the distance.

[Magic-like Technique: Vortex Migration]

Compared to wars of mortals, this was practically a mythological battlefield.

Roar——

Moo——

Following this "appetizer," the northern sea erupted with churning water as a grand army of sea monsters, numbering one thousand two hundred in bizarre shapes and sizes, finally surged forward.

They advanced along the seabed, leaving only massive, swiftly-moving shadows from the perspective of the Mind Network above.

Underwater, a "Giant Species: Sea King Shell" led the charge.

Standing atop the Sea King Shell were two figures of extreme height compared to ordinary humans, identified as Brotherhood leader "White Remains" Heimtz and deputy leader "Gulf Stream" Petrich.

They hadn't revealed their true sea monster forms; while pure destructive power was certainly greater in sea monsters, condensed strength was the essence against peers of the same level.

"Tien Kute has gone to keep an eye on that cursed 'Octopus Ghost'; he absolutely won't make it in three days, so there's only the Tier 4 aura of 'Great Vortex' Charybdis here.

Eliminating her will make it easy to take down these pesky bugs."

As the sea monster commander, Heimtz wasn't planning to resolve this with just a tsunami; otherwise, he would have ordered the sea monster army to attack along with the tsunami.

Sea monsters never had the concept of tactical formations.

Their aim was singular: directly kill Kraken during its weakened phase, thereby stifling the emergence of new land.

According to the goddess's premonition, there's still two days before that land fully emerges.

It's their ideal time to strike!

As the land's birth approaches, Kraken becomes weaker. Usually, even as a beloved of the "Mother of Sea Monsters," it's impossible to harm the "King of Sea Monsters," let alone approach his body.

"King of Sea Monsters" could blow away a swath of smaller species with just one breath.

But now, the exaggeratedly massive "King of Sea Monsters" was merely a big, sturdy turtle. As long as they reach the holes in the shell at its head and tail, finding its weak points, even a larger species could potentially kill him!

After the tsunami was neutralized.

"On the side of the Tempest Church, the former Navy Marshal of Phaletis, Princeton, took over command.

With a grand gesture.

"Activate!"

Initially disguised and hiding underwater, now two hundred 'Siren's Song' devices, balanced in buoyancy by special floats and suspended in the seawater, activated after the sea monster army completely entered their lethal radius.

Buzz——

A deadly infrasound filled every corner underwater.

To a Great Wizard of the Alchemy School's Mechanical Branch, remotely controlling such alchemy tools like the 'Siren's Song' is as simple as eating or drinking water.

During the invasion of Tyrone Kingdom by the sea monster army manipulated by 'Octopus Ghost,' all sea monsters had perished.

Later, the Brotherhood was busy contending with the Tempest Church, so they hadn't really provoked the Tulip's warships and were unaware of these alchemy tools until today.

With such a highly targeted ultimate weapon in hand, why not use it?

Compared to expanding an area of 120,000 square kilometers on the local territory, the cost of exposing a weapon is insignificant.

Meanwhile.

On another island, Aiven received a transmission through the mind network from the principal, chuckled lightly, and raised his right hand high.

Under his feet.

Together with Olivia, spending two weeks constructing, in the meantime exhausting the proceeds from arms deals and even investing a considerable amount of their own, the large position orbit flashed in resonance.

Beneath the path of the sea monster army.

Numerous sea water-composed dolphins, looking thick and cute, quickly shot up from the seabed with round 'Iron Caltrop' covered in spikes replacing their heads.

They raced up like rockets towards the sea monster army above them.

[Witchcraft: Puppet Bomb] can also be called [True: Torpedo]

No need to consider transport issues, it is, of course, how ruthless it can be.

Princeton and Aiven, the two Wizards representing advanced productivity, needed to let these sees monsters, especially those among them with a Sea God's Son title, know: "Knowledge! It is both productivity and combat power!"

If there is an ambush, even just an ordinary Rapids Fishman would be discovered immediately by the sea monsters, especially the two sons of the Sea God among them.

But before being truly activated, regardless of whether it's 'Siren's Song' or 'Alchemy Bomb', they were like cold stones, unnoticeable in the least.

The infrasound attack initiated collectively with everything the kingdom has in inventory was undoubtedly terrifying, not to mention Aiven's exhaustive use of all his alchemy bombs was even more terrifying.

A moment ago.

The monstrous sea monster army bound for the defensive island chain, seemingly unstoppable, was severely struck right on the head; not even the smallest of the small species was spared.

In the next moment.

The 'Iron Caltrop' emerging from underwater exploded beneath their bellies.

Bang! Bang! Bang!....

Accompanied by underwater shockwaves, the brittle cast iron shells shattered into deadly shrapnel, stabbing into the sea monsters' bellies, turning that sea area into a pot of boiling water in an instant.

Red boiling water.

The instinct for survival quickly drove the still mobile sea monsters to rush to the surface.

Heimtz of 'White Remains' reacted swiftly, locking onto those suspended 'Siren's Song' devices underwater within ten seconds of the invisible attack's arrival, taking control of the surrounding sea water.

With a tight grip, the seawater compressed suddenly, flattening all two hundred 'Siren's Song' into copper cakes.

He also realized that this time, the Tempest Church broke the rules by bringing in strong reinforcements from a third party.

"Damn, it's the Wizards of humans!"

Almost as if in response to his thinking.

A massive warship made entirely of steel gradually emerged from the air.

"Legendary warship 'Steam Fortress' ship spirit awakening!

Power to full!

Weapon systems unlocked!

Deploy into battle!!"

Upon receiving Princeton's command.

'Steam Fortress' also seemed to come back to life, the gears inside the hull turning, making a crisp sound, while over a hundred concealed cannons on the deck and side began to operate and self-adjust.

It was like a startled hedgehog bristling with spines, radiating an intimidating aura!

"Enter group naval battle status! Ammunition ready! 'Freeze Mode: Frost Breath Wind!'"

With the command issued, the ammunition bays automatically opened, gears driven by steam turned, and the transmission devices inside 'Steam Fortress' autonomously operated. Under the control of the central 'Ship Spirit,' shells covered with blue frost patterns were loaded into place.

Sixty cannons in total, with firing angles far exceeding those of ordinary warships, the deck and side cannons' spectral light slowly adjusted their aim, completing calibration.

"Fire!"

Boom——!!!

A massive blue light cluster filled everyone's vision.

At this moment, on the island within the large orbit, Aiven and Olivia watched in awe.

This is the power of the strongest weapon for human national suppression—the power of the legendary warship!

This may be one of the reasons why, despite various frictions in the colonies, the mighty nations have never brought war to their homelands.

Eagle Sauce, why are you fighting ***?

I suspect he has weapons of mass destruction.

Why not fight the Bear and the Rabbit?

Are you crazy? They really have them!

This argument is approximately the rationale.
