Dragon Clan: Thought So Far.

The dense gun system rising from under the deck rotated its muzzle at high speed. The dazzling flames were like a giant steel dragon breathing out breath, bullets flew, and the gunshots were as deafening as thunder.

This was a premeditated metal storm. When Henkel and his children created this cruise ship, they forged it to the level of battleships during World War II. The armor thickness of nearly 50 mm made the Apollo even comparable to the destroyers of World War II.

It is no exaggeration to call it a metal storm. Eight six-barrel 6mm M20A61 Gatling guns simultaneously fired armor-piercing discarding sabot shells at a high rate of fire of 1 rounds per minute. After leaving the barrels, the bullets spread into a towering net, which screamed and rushed towards the mythical monster.

There were a large number of tracer bullets mixed in with the armor-piercing shells. Each heavy machine gun was like a sun rising on the deck, casting bright and sharp light on the monster that was swaying and sticking its head out of the ocean.

Countless bullets hit the pale scales of the Yamata no Orochi, and bright sparks jumped. The men and women on the deck who were responsible for defense had prepared noise-reducing earplugs in advance, but at this moment they still had to press their ears hard.

The bullets fired by the Phalanx system every minute are as expensive as burning gold. It is the most powerful kinetic weapon in human history except for the Sword of Condemnation system. The thunderous gunshots make people feel as if they are in two colliding thunderclouds, and they only regret that their eardrums are too thin.

For any destroyer or any other modern warship in service, the so-called Phalanx system is nothing more than a short-term firepower dump from the close-in weapon system.

If the enemy has so many ship-borne missiles that the close-in defense guns need to fire continuously for dozens of minutes, there is no need for defense.

Even with the most advanced Phalanx system, the probability of intercepting objects faster than sound is not 100%, and a saturation strike can easily break through this layer of defense.

No country would prepare tons of ammunition for a warship's close-in defense gun, and the material science of the time was not sufficient to support the barrel's long-term high-speed continuous firing.

However, the original design intention of the Helios was not to engage in modern naval warfare with a certain country. In fact, when the shipyard received the modification design drawings of the Helios from the Royal Caribbean Cruises, it once suspected whether the head of the private enterprise was crazy.

Because they simply wanted to transform this large ship used for sightseeing and entertainment into a postmodern, weakened version of a battleship.

The eight Gatling guns in the ammunition bay are equipped with more than ten tons of ammunition all year round. When installing the Phalanx system, Henkel also invited several great contemporary alchemy masters. Their task was to replace the barrels of these machine guns that were destined to be used against those large sea monsters in unknown areas. From materials to workmanship, they even engraved a large number of alchemical matrices.

Countless preparations allowed each machine gun to work continuously for more than twenty minutes without exploding due to overheating of the barrel.

The moment the gunfire stopped, everyone's ears felt like they were filled with a buzzing sound from ten thousand bees.

But the snake head that had covered the sky like a mountain had disappeared, and the whole world was so silent that only the sound of the rolling tide could be heard.

The oncoming sea breeze carried the smoke produced by the launch of the Metal Storm in through the broken holes in the restaurant's glass, making it hard to breathe.

The dreamlike aurora flickered at the end of the sky within sight. Ling had experienced far more than Nono could imagine. She realized that the ship had just briefly experienced a huge and boundless Nibelungen. That Nibelungen completely merged with reality, so the ocean still looked the same.

The god, who only showed up briefly, threw out his spear and used it to lead the Apollo across the Nibelung to another beacon.

The receding aurora is God's kingdom of the dead.

Odin might not even have actually arrived, but he had accomplished everything he wanted to do.

Looking back from this direction, the magnificent city of Tokyo has been submerged in the sea water. Bright blue waves are swimming towards Tokyo under the dark water surface. It is obvious that there are millions of ghost tooth vipers grinding their teeth and sucking blood, hungry for rushing into the city full of flesh and blood to feast on it.

The reason why Zero was able to recognize the unrecognizable Tokyo was actually because of the Tokyo Skytree in the distance that was completely lit up.

After meeting Uncle and Auntie at Grand Kitchen with Lu Mingfei, Ling originally intended to go back to The Peninsula Tokyo directly, but then she saw Lu Mingfei, who was silent. The child still had the same arrogant expression as when he left the restaurant, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes. Ling changed her mind temporarily and said, "Let's drive around the city."

So before going back that night, Lu Mingfei acted as a driver and drove the rather expensive Rolls-Royce Phantom around Tokyo at night.

Looking back, it was also a rainy day. The streets were empty at night in the drizzle, and the puddles on the streets were rippling with dense ripples.

The lighting system of Tokyo Skytree also began to be tested on that day. At the end of the long street, the accumulated water was rippling slightly, and the white Tokyo Skytree was reflected in the water, with a beauty like a mirage.

But the time left for Her Royal Highness the Princess to reminisce is running out.

Someone shouted in fear above their heads. In the thick smoke, the man standing on the bridge, half leaning out and waving, was just a blurry shadow.

He was yelling in Spanish, "Sea! Sea! Sea!"

There is no monster named Sea in this world, because that is too crazy. The only thing on earth that can completely destroy human beings is the natural wonders such as the ocean.

After just a moment of stunned silence, everyone rushed to the huge terrace at the end of the restaurant and looked down. The bright blue light illuminated the eyes of these people and the fear in their eyes.

"Oh my God..." someone whispered.

Layer upon layer of black waves swept in from all directions and hit the steel hull of the Apollo, making a thunderous sound. The black waves carried little blue fish, and when the little fish poked their heads out of the water, they spit out dagger-like fangs.

No one knows when, but the ship has been surrounded by ghost-toothed vipers whose number far exceeds that of Takama-ga-hara in the Abyss. They followed the ancient second-generation White King, the real Yamata-no-Orochi Izanagi, to bring destruction and punishment to this world.

But what was truly terrifying was not the subspecies that could even tear apart steel, but a huge shadow that was illuminated by tens of thousands of viperfish. It was so huge and ferocious that it almost looked like it was carrying the 100,000-ton Apollo 17 on its back across the suddenly raging ocean.

The front end of the black shadow suddenly rose slowly, and eight giant heads like dragons and snakes raised waves that covered the sky. The red-gold snake pupils were as bright and large as gas lamps, and could reflect the figures of the people who were looking up at it on the deck.

Its scales glowed with a pale metallic luster, and the firepower of the Phalanx system, which could even shatter a heavy tank in an instant, was completely unable to cause any damage to this deity who was far superior to Susanoo.

Pairs of golden eyes swept across the deck, and everyone who was stared at felt as if they were falling into the abyss, and the biting cold made their bones tremble. Ling's face was cold, and he wondered if this thing could really be a creature born on Earth?

The Kojiki and Nihonshoki record that the Yamata-no-Orochi has eight heads and eight tails, which can fill eight valleys and eight hills. Based on Zero's knowledge of dragons, he originally thought that no giant species would hatch its body to that size, but the monster before him seemed to be just as described in the myth.

Just by calculating backwards from the divergence of the eight heads at the front of its whale-like abdomen, the length of this demon was far longer than the Atlantic Ocean cruise ship, and the giant ship beneath them was a full three hundred meters long!

The giant golden pupil that swept back and forth seemed to have finally found Eri, who was protected by Xia Mi behind her. It immediately became excited, and its snake pupils revealed aggressive murderous intent and greed.

A monster as huge as a mountain shows a human-like greedy look. Even if you are holding a rocket launcher in your hand and next to you is a close-up Phalanx system that quickly cools down and starts to rotate the muzzle at high speed, you will still feel a chill in your spine.

Huge snake heads extended from all directions above the deck, casting shadows larger than those of vans, as if icebergs in the sea were slowly dragging the entire Atlantic Sun God into the dark abyss.

A strange and frightening sound echoed on the cruise ship. It was the sound made when the metal hull was twisted and deformed.

The whole ship was filled with the hissing sound coming from the mouth of the Yamata no Orochi. The cold wind carried the strong fishy smell of the monster from the top to the bottom of the ship. The huge, pale scales swayed in the wind like scallops in the ocean current, and then they fastened together from seven inches downwards, making a metallic roar.

The guests who had been resting in the cabin at the deepest part of the Apollo did not know what had happened, but they still felt terrified, as if they were being stared at by evil spirits from hell, and could not help but hold the weapons that were within their reach in their hands.

Those huge snake heads exchanged dangerous glances in the air, and the cold and majestic aura poured down like heavy rain from the sky.

Then, an incredibly large tail suddenly rolled up huge waves tens of meters high, broke through the crystal blue sea surface, and landed heavily on the deck of the Apollo.

Two machine guns operated by the Phalanx system and the ammunition bays below the machine guns were destroyed in this fierce attack. A landslide-like explosion came from the bottom of the snake's belly, followed by orange-yellow flames extending forward and backward along both sides of the snake's belly.

At least 20 fully armed North American hybrids with bloodline level above B were crushed to pieces by the huge snake belly whose diameter alone exceeded that of a sperm whale, and the strong smell of gunpowder filled their faces.

Nono's pupils shrank slightly. She saw that the bride, who was holding up her skirt and biting a strand of hair between her teeth, and rushed onto the deck with a weapon in hand, was also among the group of people who were killed.

The groom let out a painful wail, and the modified and powerful shotgun in his hand roared, as if he was holding thunder in his hand, but the bullets could not even leave a bullet mark on the pale scales, but only made a buzzing sound of metal collision and left a series of dense sparks.

Then the end of the long tail connected to the snake's belly broke through the water from under the other side of the ship and fell heavily onto the deck. The huge snake's belly tightened and buried the groom inside.

It was an extremely shocking and terrifying scene. The giant snake, which had not yet fully revealed its entire appearance, was wrapping around the Atlantic Apollo in circles.

You should know that the length of this ship is more than 300 meters and the width is more than 35 meters. Even among cruise ships, the Helios is definitely a behemoth.

But the Yamata no Orochi was able to easily completely wrap around the front half of the entire cruise ship, and the sound of its scales rubbing against the metal hull was loud and harsh.

During this process, the defense system of the Atlantic Apollo had been pouring ammunition at the giant beast that seemed to have walked out of hell. However, no matter whether it was the 20mm caliber bullets fired by the Phalanx close-in defense system or the 224mm caliber shells fired by the M60 mortar moved to the sea, or even the alchemical torpedoes fired at close range underwater, none of them could cause even a trace of damage to the Yamata no Orochi.

Compared to Izanagi who appeared in Tokyo Bay, Susanoo who was killed in the Red Well by Lu Mingfei was like a second-generation species that had not yet reached adulthood.

The young man named Tang Sen was still keeping calm at this time. He was placing the people evacuated from the deck in the restaurant. He looked back at Ling who was shrouded in smoke and thought that this girl was really crazy and was still pretending to be so arrogant at this time.

"Hey, that little girl with platinum hair, are you an adult and why are you walking outside?" The guy rushed to Zero in two steps, grabbed her hood and pulled her back from the broken window glass.

Her Royal Highness the Princess stared with her golden eyes at the man behind her who had no vision, while Tang Sen just stuffed her into Nuonuo's arms.

"Anyone can get into trouble on this ship, but you must not encounter any danger," said Tang Sen.

"What are you going to do?" Nono asked.

Tang Sen did not hesitate: "My spiritual power is deep blood, and I happen to know some forbidden techniques to improve bloodline. If that thing wants to eat you later, I will jump into its mouth and refine its bloodline to poison it to death."

The serial number of Deep Blood's Word Spirit is only 47, and its effect is also very useless. It makes one's blood carry a deadly poison that can kill even pure-blooded dragons, but once the blood is inactivated, the toxicity will disappear in a short time.

There used to be a cannibal who had been on the run in the forests of Romania for many years. This guy was unlucky and caught a senior brother who was out on a mission from Kassel Academy, and ate one of the senior brother's legs alive.

It turned out that the elder brother's words were deep blood. When the rescue team found the ogre, he was struggling to stop the bleeding from his wounds with herbs. The ogre was already dead, with all the muscle tissue and organs dissolved, leaving only the nervous system attached to the bones. The scene was so horrifying that even an institution like Kassel Academy was unwilling to leave a photo to put in the textbooks.

Nuonuo was stunned for a moment. Tang Sen had already passed them and came near the huge snake's belly.

The pale scales slowly tightened in front of the man. He held on to the wall to steady himself, and a sound like ice cracking seemed to be coming from his body.

It seemed that he was not bragging. If it came to that, the young man might really jump into the mouth of the Yamata no Orochi and use his own blood to try to kill the ancient god.

Eight huge snake heads swayed back and forth in all directions of the restaurant, hissing in excitement but hesitating not to attack.

"It's Constantine and I." Xia Mi frowned slightly, "It's not sure whether it can... kill us."

Eri huddled in Xia Mi's arms, the girl's pupils were so bright that they were frightening. She was terrified, trembling slightly with fear, and felt the echo of hell ringing in all directions, that echo saying "I found you" "I found you"

"I found you!" (End of this chapter)
