Chapter 42: Annihilation-Level Beast Tide
The global headquarters of the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy, the core control center of the Dome of Light.
Just three seconds after all the light screens crashed, the entire hall erupted in chaos.
The emergency red lights flashed wildly, illuminating the terrified faces of the technicians.
"What's going on!?"
Wang Yi, the chief technical officer, staggered to the front of the control panel, pointing at the rows of black screens, his hands trembling uncontrollably.
"Where's the backup system! Activate the backup system right now!" he roared, his voice sharp and piercing with extreme terror.
However, each technician's tearful reply at the control panel felt like a heavy hammer blow to his heart.
"Report to Commander! The backup system link... has been... severed!"
"Core databases I, II, and III are all out of service!"
"My God... there's an unknown protocol that we can't understand at all, directly overwriting our firewall from the very bottom layer of logic!"
Wang Yi felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, his legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
It’s over.
The planetary-level defense system, which safeguards global security and was built with countless human efforts, was paralyzed in just a few seconds.
He couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if he reported this news to Master Hong.
Despair gripped the control center; some even began writing their wills. But Luo Feng, sitting in the master control seat, remained calm and composed, his eyes closed.
"Hahaha! Luo Feng, did you see that? Let me show you my true power!"
In his mind's eye, Babata was reconstructing this ridiculously primitive system at an astonishing speed of billions of times per second, while simultaneously giving Luo Feng on-site instruction and critique, thoroughly discrediting the system's energy transmission, data algorithms, and logical architecture.
"Luo Feng, is this the pinnacle of technology on Earth? It's not even as good as the toys I discarded 50,000 years ago!"
……
At the same time, Hong issued three directives, which began to be implemented globally.
The largest migration of coastal city residents in human history has begun.
Outside the East China Sea base city in China, on the main road connecting to the inland, countless vehicles of all kinds formed an endless steel dragon. The piercing horns, the cries of children, the shouts of adults, and the hoarse commands from military loudspeakers mingled together.
Countless people looked out of their car windows for the last time at the steel city where they had lived their entire lives, their eyes filled with fear of the unknown and confusion about the future.
America, the Soviet Union, Europe...
Faced with this ultimate catastrophe that concerns the survival of the entire civilization, the five great powers, despite their resentment and calculations, had no choice but to temporarily set aside all their disputes and relinquish supreme command over all their strategic resources, including their armies, energy, and weapons.
A brand-new organization called the "Earth Wartime Committee" was established at an extremely rapid pace under Hong's forceful push.
All registered members of parliament-level powerhouses worldwide, whether enjoying life in luxurious mansions on the top floors of bustling cities or cultivating diligently in seclusion on remote private islands, received the highest summons from the headquarters of the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy at the same time.
Looking at the black dragon emblem representing the museum owner, Hong, on the communication watch, and at the brief command, everyone's face was filled with solemnity.
They understood that this time, it was no longer an internal game of vying for resources and honor.
Rather, it was a battle that would determine the life or death of human civilization.
No one is exempt.
……
Inside the core control center of the Dome of Light.
As Wang Yi, the chief technical officer, desperately opened his personal terminal, preparing to write his last words and report this catastrophic accident to Hong,...
"Beep—"
A soft electronic sound rang out.
All the black screens lit up simultaneously and without warning.
A deep, elegant, and futuristic shade of blue has replaced the old, gray-white system interface.
Before anyone could react, a high-precision global 3D image slowly unfolded on the largest central screen and began to run stably.
This is no longer a simple stitching of satellite maps, but a perfect virtual Earth model calculated based on real-time massive data streams.
Every inch of the earth's land, every ocean, and even the movement of clouds in the atmosphere and the changes in ocean currents in the depths of the ocean are presented to the public with unimaginable clarity.
"This...this is..." Wang Yi and all the technicians were stunned.
In order to fully demonstrate the power of the "new system", Babata instantly concentrated the scanning power throughout the entire territory of China.
On one side of the screen, Babata thoughtfully translates the universal language into Earth language and displays it.
"Scan complete. Unregistered target found."
"An ancient civilization site has been discovered at a depth of 13,200 meters, at 108.95 degrees east longitude and 33.27 degrees north latitude."
As soon as the notification sound finished playing, a complete three-dimensional structural analysis diagram of the site popped up on the screen, with even the residual energy reaction values and the percentage of materials used in the main building being accurate to ten decimal places.
Looking at the clear image on the screen, Wang Yi subconsciously wanted to use his old equipment to verify it, but he soon sadly discovered that with the current detection technology on Earth, it was simply impossible to scan that deep underground.
The way he looked at Luo Feng changed.
He truly deserves to be called the most dazzling martial arts genius on Earth!
Within Luo Feng's sea of consciousness, Babata sighed with some regret.
"Luo Feng, this won't work. The energy core of this broken system is utter garbage, like a broken power bank. I can't replace it from the ground up. Right now, although we can mobilize the energy of the B6-class laser cannon at any time and attack any corner of the earth, but..."
Babata's voice turned serious.
"However, even at full power, we can only track the Golden Horned Beast for a maximum of half an hour. Any longer, and the entire system's energy core will burn out due to overload! We must find it and destroy it within these thirty minutes!"
However, at that moment...
"Warning! Warning! Extra-specific energy reaction detected!"
The newly upgraded "New Dome of Light" system suddenly issued its highest-level red alert!
The ear-piercing buzzing sound rang out, and the technicians, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, once again felt their hearts leap into their throats!
On the central main screen, the blue planet is being rapidly swallowed by a blood-red expanse that is expanding wildly from the center of the Pacific Ocean!
Hundreds of millions of red dots represent endless sea monsters, which are converging into a huge torrent, surging out from the depths of the ocean!
Its sheer size and terrifying density surpassed the sum of any beast tide ever recorded in human history!
The unparalleled massive data stream of the new system instantly calculated the ultimate target of this terrifying torrent—directly aimed at the coastal defenses and war bases of all continental plates, including America, China, and Europe!
A global extinction-level beast tide that surpasses even catastrophic levels!
Looking at the beast tide on the screen that had almost dyed the entire ocean red, Luo Feng's expression grew increasingly grim.
He could no longer remain calm, abruptly stood up from his seat, and connected to Hong's communication.
"Master! The beast tide is coming!"
"The scale... is an extinction-level global super monster tide! The Golden Horned Beast... is driving away sea monsters from all over the world! Their target is all coastal war bases!"
