Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1179 Gatanjea vs. American Navy
Under the irresistible pressure of the tentacles, the destroyer's hull seemed to be tightly grasped by a giant hand from the abyss. In an instant, the originally solid steel structure sank, twisted, and deformed like a can under the action of the huge force.

The sound of metal tearing was sharp and piercing, like the wailing at the edge of a black hole in the universe, striking directly into the hearts of everyone present, making people feel a palpitation involuntarily.

The owner of this tentacle is undoubtedly a huge monster, and every movement of it is accompanied by violent disturbances in the ocean and air.

The shock wave spread out in all directions at a speed faster than the speed of sound, forming an invisible wall. This wall not only pushed away the sea water, but also squeezed the air, producing a spectacular ripple effect.

These ripples are like the propagation of ultrasound in water, except that their energy is strong enough to shake a 10,000-ton ship.

When the ripples touched the hull of the battleship, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, they exploded instantly, accompanied by spider-web-like cracks. These cracks spread rapidly, as if time was accelerated at this moment, until they covered the entire hull.

The Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, a 150-meter-long, well-equipped modern warship, seemed to have its spine broken by an invisible force at this moment.

Starting from the point of impact, the entire hull bent at an angle that violated the laws of physics, like a shrimp suddenly hit by a huge wave, fragile and vulnerable.

The lights on the ship began to flash and alarms blared, but none of this could conceal the impending destruction.

boom------

Accompanied by another deafening explosion, the entire sea surface seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force. Countless splashes and fragments were thrown into the air by this force, forming a spectacular wall of water.

This wall of water is tens of meters high, like a sign of a tsunami, but what is more terrifying than a tsunami is its destructive force.

Under this force, the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer was thrown out of the sea by its huge tentacles like a kite with a broken string, and collided violently with the two warships next to it at an almost miraculous speed and power.

This sudden disaster threw the three warships into chaos in an instant.

The officers and soldiers on the warship tried to stabilize the ship, but their efforts seemed so insignificant in the face of such a huge force.

An indescribable force was transmitted between the three warships. Each ship was under unprecedented pressure. Every inch of steel on the hull was wailing, as if the whole world was collapsing at this moment.

The sounds of metal twisting, friction, and vibration came one after another. These sounds were not only physical collisions, but also mental torture.

They were like the sound of the gates of hell slowly opening, releasing endless terror and despair.

Sparks flew and the hull was squeezed violently. Some parts of the ship swelled like balloons and could burst at any time, while other parts were twisted like pretzels. This extreme deformation brought an incomparable visual impact to all who witnessed this scene, as if they were watching a surreal nightmare.

The missile launcher lost control under the huge impact, and the originally precise mechanical structure was shattered by the violent vibration.

The missiles stored in it were accidentally detonated due to the unbearable vibration, instantly igniting the surrounding air and forming a blazing flame. These flames were like the fire of hell, engulfing everything around, illuminating the dark sea, and also illuminating the expressions of fear and despair on people's faces.

The broken fragments of the giant warships fell like raindrops, some fell directly into the sea, causing high splashes of water, as if the sea was mourning the loss of these deceased steel behemoths; others flew into the sky, becoming poignant arcs, they streaked across the night sky, leaving behind brilliant tracks, but also foreshadowing the disappearance of life and the destruction of hope.

Although the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer is equipped with the most advanced radar system, missile defense system and automated combat system, all the high technology seems so powerless in the face of this unimaginable biological force.

The owner of the tentacles, the huge monster lurking deep in the dark abyss, uses its power that almost transcends the laws of physics to show humans the horror and greatness of nature.

The collapsed deck buildings, like building blocks that had been ruthlessly trampled by prehistoric giants, were scattered all over the ground, so dilapidated that their original structures were almost unrecognizable.

The steel components were twisted into incredible shapes, just like the rock layers in nature that had undergone drastic geological changes. These originally precisely constructed mechanical structures became twisted and weird under the influence of extreme forces, as if they were being toyed with by invisible giant hands.

The broken steel beams are scattered in an orderly manner on the ruins like ancient sculptures forgotten by time. Their surface is covered with a thick layer of oxide, recording the high temperature and pressure brought by the sudden disaster.

Under extreme external forces, the material will undergo plastic deformation until it reaches its yield limit or even breaks.

In this chaos and ruins, countless messy metal debris seemed to be thrown into the air by a supernatural force. They drew dazzling silver tracks in the air and shot in all directions like a meteor shower.

The speed of these metal fragments far exceeded the speed of sound, producing a strong sonic boom effect. Accompanied by a deafening roar, they left long and thin white air trails in the air. These were formed by the shock waves generated by the high-speed movement condensing in the air.

Not only do these fragments carry enormous kinetic energy, but they also generate extremely high temperatures due to high-speed friction, giving their surfaces a fiery red-blue luster, like meteors flying out of the fire of hell.

When they finally fell powerlessly on the icy sea, they caused tiny ripples, and then quickly cooled down, making a "hissing" sound, which was the rapid heat exchange that occurred when the metal came into contact with the sea water.

The flames and sea water collided with each other in this chaotic area, forming a series of magnificent and tragic pictures.

The flames were like the rage that leaked out when the gates of hell were briefly opened, burning wantonly and engulfing everything around them in the raging flames.

The source of these flames may be the fuel leak that was not extinguished in time on the warship, or the high temperature generated by the explosion that ignited the flammable materials on the hull.

The color of the flame changes from orange to dark blue, showing the different temperature zones during the combustion process. The blue flame has the highest temperature, reaching thousands of degrees Celsius, enough to melt steel.

The sea water, like the guardian of nature, tried to extinguish this unnatural fire in its own unique way.
