“What is that?”
Meng Chao was shocked.
He had never seen such a dazzling, mighty, and amazing sight before.
It looked like the entire sky was burning.
It could compare to the sight of the beginnings of the Red Radiance Jade tsunami above Raging Waves.
Before he could register what it was, something shocking happened to the battlefield hundreds of meters away.
As if he had been careless, Black Tortoise Zong Yue was struck by the Demonic Mountain’s tails, and he was sent flying hundreds of meters away before he crashed into a mountain.
It caused the stones to fly and the plants to sway. His entire being was engulfed by dust.
Now that the Demonic Mountain had finally hit the human, it would definitely not miss this chance.
It raised its heads and let out a terrifying roar.
Its mountainous body leaped up, and like a volcano eruption, it jumped dozens of meters into the air, revealing its towering and horrifying true face.
As its body bulged up before contracting, its vitality magnetic field spread out like a tidal wave. Not only did its scales stand up like swords, but the predatory plants on it also bared their teeth and let out hissing sounds, making it look like a phantom army that crawled out of hell.
Meng Chao sensed the pressure of the suffocating power rise, and it wanted to crush all of his cells and his alveoli.
“No! That monster is going to transform!” Meng Chao thought things were about to go bad.
No matter what, Apocalyptic Beasts were kings of monsters.
Even though they did not have a scientific cultivation method like the humans do and freely contract or expand their spirit energy and vitality magnetic field, they still evolved over millions of years and mastered their innate talents naturally. They also knew how to hide some of their strength and release energy more than what they could withstand during a final stand.
When Apocalyptic Beasts fought each other to the death and released more than 150% of their fighting strength, they could turn into something else more brutal and domineering. This was something that commonly happened.
Meng Chao remembered that during the later stage of the Monster War, plenty of peerless fighters in Dragon City died together with Apocalyptic Beasts after they transformed.
Hence, when he sensed the increasingly fierce air on the Demonic Mountain, his expression immediately changed, and he wanted to go and help the old dean with his tutor and tutoress.
To his surprise, before he could cry out in surprise, the boiling red sky southwest to them was torn open by a powerful and unparalleled force.
Then, like a meteor from outer space, it charged to the valley at lightning speed.
Not only did it tear the entire sky in half, but the high-speed friction also created bright sparks. It was so bright that all the people on the ground could not open their eyes.
It was only when the meteor traveled through half of the sky that Meng Chao heard a shocking explosion.
BOOOOOOMMM!!
It was as if the ground in the southwest region collapsed. Thunder roared from the earth, and a powerful tremor reached the valley. It was so powerful that Meng Chao’s feet felt numb. His ears rang, and even his mind became blank for a moment.
BOOOOOOOMMMM!!
The second thunderous clap appeared right after the first.
However, this clap was nearby, and it came from the transforming Demonic Mountain.
That meteor struck the Demonic Mountain!
The Demonic Mountain instantly had a red ball of light appear on it.
The ball of light grew rapidly and devoured the Demonic Mountain’s large body in the blink of an eye.
Then, the red light turned as white as a sheet before transforming into a shockwave that could sweep off an entire legion. It spread out and engulfed the entire valley.
All the plants in the valley withered, burned, carbonized, and disappeared in the form of ashes in a matter of seconds.
Even the barren earth and rocks had layers of trenches dug in them because of the shockwave.
All Meng Chao could see was white, and all he could hear was the howling wind. His exposed face and hands felt like they were pierced by more than ten thousand steel needles.
Of course, they were burning hot steel needles.
The storm with “steel needles” in them raged for half a minute.
Half a minute later, the storm calmed down a little, and Meng Chao was finally able to open his teary and bloodshot eyes.
The valley in front of him was already filled with lush, green plants. It was the home of countless plants and insects.
Of course, it was also the home of monsters and a hunting ground filled with danger.
At that moment, it turned into a burning ground with nothing living left in it.
A mushroom cloud as black as ink shrouded the entire place. Aside from the Demonic Mountain, all the monsters… no, all the living things were burnt to a crisp.
As for the Demonic Mountain…
Meng Chao’s eyelids twitched. He could not believe what he saw.
The Apocalyptic Beast originally had a destructive presence and was as tall as a mountain, but now, Meng Chao saw that the blast had caused its shell to crack entirely, and it was badly burned.
Its shell and exoskeleton had a lot of metal components inside, but now, it was blasted so badly that it fell off its body.
It had limbs as thick as the pillars supporting the sky, but now, its right front limb was blasted off.
The place, where its right front limb originally was, was now occupied by a frightening, bloody hole with a diameter of several meters.
If anyone looked in through the bloody hole, they could see countless pulsating, fluttering flesh and organs.
It was now like a defenseless city that was waiting for humans to conquer and exploit it.
The left head was already blasted to a sorry state.
The long neck belonging to the head resembling a plesiosaurus was partially gone, and its bone was also damaged. It only had half of its flesh and tendons left, and it could not support the weight of the head, so it could only loll to the side. It no longer had the demeanor of an Apocalyptic Beast.
Meng Chao placed a hand under his chin and smacked his ears for a long time before he could get rid of the ringing in his ears.
“This is…”
But he already had his answer.
Even so, he still asked his tutor with a look of disbelief.
“That’s right, it’s powerful, isn’t it? This is Dragon City’s ultimate weapon, Huge Dragon’s Might Cannon!”
Gu Jianbo’s huge face was also charred because of the smoke.
Even so, he still shouted his answer with a look of pride.
The Huge Dragon’s Might Cannon was the ultimate weapon used by Dragon City for intimidation purposes.
The muzzle was 88m long, and when in battle, its entire body was 211m long, 25m tall, and weighed 7,500 tons. Each armor-piercing shell weighed 20 tons, each high-explosive shell weighed 10 tons, and the fuel required to push an artillery shell forward weighed between 2 to 5 tons!
This was because the atomic electron shells in the substances of the Other World were not very stable, and it was easy for sophisticated equipment to go through unbearable changes.
Besides, the magnetic field of the planet and the magnetic fields of other biological lifeforms were really chaotic, and humans could not fire satellites to monitor the entire Other World as well as provide navigation.
Hence, there were temporarily no missiles in the armory of Dragon City.
The railway guns were the brightest pearl in the arsenal of weapons humans used in the art they called war.
They were made using the advanced technology in the Other World, powered by crystal fuel, and launched artillery shells. Dragon Citizens’ railway guns were different from the railway guns used during the first and second world wars on Earth.
Their accuracy and power could not be compared.
Why was it that the Apocalyptic Dragons could never make up their minds and attack the humans’ city even though Dragon City was right in their faces?
The Deity Realm superhumans and the railway guns were the most important reason.
However, while the railway guns possessed unparalleled power, they spent too much crystal fuel.
This was especially the case for the king of all the railway guns in Dragon City—Huge Dragon’s Might Cannon!
While one single artillery shell could destroy everything within several kilometers, the amount of funds burnt could also make the people in the Survival Committee suffer from acute heart attacks and die.
Meng Chao remembered that in his previous life, due to the terrible defeat in the northern offense, the Survival Committee could not provide enough ammunition for Huge Dragon’s Might Cannon, and they could not find a suitable chance to let this ultimate war machine bring out its strongest power.
In the end, before it fired even a single shell, it was destroyed by the suicide squads of the monsters. It was a great humiliation to the humans.
This time, due to the butterfly effects he caused, Huge Dragon’s Might Cannon had done as its name suggested and displayed the dragon’s divine might!
“So, the old dean has been showing his weakness all the time to lure the enemy?”
Meng Chao came to a realization.
When the railway guns were born on Earth, they were used to blast enemy bases, cities, and other still targets.
So, its accuracy rate when hitting moving targets over a mountain was definitely… quite saddening.
However, the railway guns in the Other World were different from the ones on Earth.
When crystal ammunition was used, not only would it increase the power of the railway gun, it could also use the resonance between the magnetic fields of biological objects, the crystal itself, and the planet to attract and reject each other. This allowed the ammunition shell to adjust its trajectory a little while flying, causing the ammunition shell to be even more accurate than missiles.
Black Tortoise Zong Yue was definitely not thinking about using his own strength to kill this Apocalyptic Beast while he was fighting against the Demonic Mountain alone just now.
Instead, he activated his spirit energy magnetic field and injected a lot of magnetic targets on the Demonic Mountain to guide Huge Dragon’s Might Cannon.
He also showed weakness to the enemy to make the Demonic Mountain transform. When this creature’s vitality magnetic field fluctuated at the maximum rate, the shell would hit it, and this could create the greatest damage to the creature.
But this was far from over.
Even though Huge Dragon’s Might Cannon had a huge time gap between each launch of its artillery shells because it needed a long time to cool down the muzzle, clean up the barrel, move the ammunition, and activate the crystal magnetic field in the ammunition shell. It could only fire its second shot around twenty minutes later.
However, to destroy this Apocalyptic Beast in one go, the Red Dragon Army mobilized thirty railway guns in one go and secretly moved them to the frontlines through the railway they set up just now and locked down on the Demonic Mountain.
Huge Dragon’s Might Cannon had just finished roaring, but the other smaller railway guns opened fire and started bombarding the valley.
After all, after the Demonic Mountain was hit by Huge Dragon’s Might Cannon, its vitality magnetic field was a little chaotic. Its spirit energy spilled out like a flood, and some of it even gushed into the air like a volcano eruption, forming an invisible geyser that superhumans and crystal ammunition could sense clearly.
Hence, these railway guns’ ammunition moved like they had eyes. They repeatedly landed on the Demonic Mountain, and at most were twenty meters away from him. The deadly storm they stirred up could still mercilessly tear apart its flesh and blood.
Balls of light, sparks, and spherical electricity that let out crackling sounds blasted open on the Demonic Mountain’s back simultaneously.
No matter how sturdy the Demonic Mountain was, at the end of the day, it had a body made of flesh and blood. There was no way it could withstand thirty railway guns blasting it.
Yet, it moved really slowly, and during the first bombardment, it had its right front limb blasted off.
While its vitality magnetic field remained chaotic, its maglev ability continuously weakened, and it was restrained by gravity. It could not even keep its heavy body upright.
It could only struggle on its deathbed like a whale spread on a beach while it gasped for breath.
As he withstood the rampaging shockwaves and saw the Apocalyptic Beast that devoured so many humans in his previous life end up in such a sorry state as it could only be beaten up, Meng Chao only had one thought in mind.
‘This is the end of an era.’
Indeed, the era belonging to monsters was already over.
The era belonging to the extraordinary beings in the Other World would also end sooner or later.
The steel army of the humans had already let out a roar far stronger than before.
This time, as the Extraordinary Disaster, they could definitely create a miracle that was even more brilliant than his previous life’s, right?
