Don’t panic if you get scammed, give him a Desert Eagle instead.

"What we can be certain of now is that this is definitely not a giant beast in the ordinary sense. In other words, we can rule out the speculation that it is a monster."

It has now been confirmed that this is a world-destroying weapon, and its appearance is indeed almost identical to that of a ferocious giant monster.

Even more chillingly, a large number of organic life forms were detected at the bottom of this apocalyptic weapon. Data analysis indicates that the device was able to remain submerged in the deep sea for so long precisely because it could convert those life forms into its own energy.

Therefore, whether it is various kinds of fish or passing ships, they will encounter misfortune as soon as they enter this water.

"Wait a minute—"

At that moment, Huang Tianfei suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Have you heard the ancient legend about the Sea of ​​Death?

The legend of the so-called Sea of ​​Death actually originates from a secret Western story, and it is said that only a few people know all the details.

Mythology recounts that the sea god once fought a fierce battle with a giant monster from the deep sea. Although the sea god was victorious, he could not completely destroy the monster and could only seal it away in this sea area.

Later, the sea god perished in the war of the gods and disappeared from the world. To pray for peace, mankind held a grand sacrificial ceremony, and the sea god reappeared in the world in a new form.

Of course, this is just one version of the Western legend. Following this logic, the giant sea monster could very well be the enormous energy entity before us.

Similar accounts exist in Eastern legends. A chapter of the Classic of Mountains and Seas mentions a terrifying monster in the deep sea, but it has not yet been formally verified by the academic community.

"There's no need to worry. I think the fact that the legend exists in both the East and the West shows that this special 'life form' may indeed have existed. It's just that it's too old to verify, so it has been exaggerated over time."

Humanity is currently gripped by panic, and some organizations are openly spreading rumors, claiming to possess terrifying truths and even asserting that human civilization is about to end.

"That's ridiculous!"

Jiang Chuan was so angry when he saw these comments that he slammed his fist on the table.

Instead of offering assistance during this critical time, these religious groups have been spreading the message that humanity is destined to be unable to resist the forces of nature and that humanity is doomed to perish.

"These people are actually making things worse! If you ask me, we should take them into custody first!"

Jiang Chuan knew perfectly well that the most troublesome thing right now was these people who were manipulating public opinion. But governments around the world were helpless against them—their actions had not yet constituted a crime, making it difficult to intervene from a legal perspective.

"The boundaries of freedom of speech are indeed difficult to grasp. Even if we are led astray, we can only gradually find countermeasures, otherwise the situation will only get worse."

"Ugh!"

At this critical moment, Jiang Chuan could only let out a long sigh.

"These superstitious beliefs are indeed extremely harmful. However, the fact that ancient legends have been passed down to this day may indeed be related to the strange events that have occurred in this deadly sea throughout history."

Everyone agreed with this view. In their opinion, this clue could not be ignored, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, and even the opportunity to continue the plan might be lost.

"Stay calm and continue to observe. I believe we will eventually find a solution. Just proceed step by step according to the established plan."

Jiang Chuan understood very well that, under these special circumstances, only by proceeding step by step could they break through the predicament.

Surprisingly, even Xu Jiajia noticed something unusual this time—the father and son actually teamed up for the first time at a crucial moment?
As the investigation deepened, the entire organization, along with its think tank, finally uncovered an even more horrifying truth—a countdown device that was counting down the seconds.

"What's happening here?"

At this moment, Jiang Tianfeng quickly came to his father's side.

"This machine hasn't started yet because it's continuously drawing energy from the Earth's core magma." "You mean, we humans have reached the end?"
Jiang Chuan was filled with worry after seeing his son.

"We younger generations don't know the specific details, but if our speculation is correct, this countdown can no longer be stopped. What's even more puzzling is how this core of artificial intelligence actually operates; it's truly baffling."

"Wait a minute!"

Jiang Chuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

First, the artificial intelligence was created by a man named Victor, who then instigated Jiang Chuan to destroy it. But why would this artificial intelligence be directly associated with prehistoric behemoths?

Even more bizarrely, the artificial intelligence was able to establish a connection with that colossal object.

"Something's wrong!"

Jiang Chuan suddenly noticed something was wrong.

"We've fallen into their trap."

Only then did he realize that the real mastermind was not artificial intelligence, but the old man Victor who was hiding in the shadows.

"I believe this person is the culprit. But the question is, who exactly is he? How can he control such a vast force all by himself?"

The entire base was shrouded in gloom, as there was very little information about Victor, and even the Atlantis Kingdom had no record of him.

The police file only contains the man's basic registration information, and he rarely appears in public and does not seem to have committed any heinous crimes.

According to available information, Victor had a normal upbringing, but his family has a long history and is said to have guarded a secret for generations.

Victor displayed amazing talent from a young age and entered the world's top universities for further studies before he reached adulthood.

It was here that people witnessed his extraordinary genetic talent. It's worth mentioning that Tony's father and Victor were once close friends.

"Let's go! No matter what, we have to bring Tony along this time."

When the group arrived at the laboratory, they saw Tony, who was preparing to leave for home. Jiang Chuan immediately called out to him.

"You are, after all, a top scientist recognized by both Kyushu and Atlantis. If possible, may I invite you to postpone your return?"

"how do I say this?"

Do you know Mr. Victor?

Tony was taken aback by what he heard.

"You mean Victor, the one who asked you to destroy the artificial intelligence? Is it him?"

"Exactly! Your father and he were very close back then; they were classmates in university. However, Victor is a few years younger than your father, right?"

Tony nodded in confirmation. Could it be that there's something wrong with Victor right now?
"We suspect that the real mastermind may be this Victor, but we currently lack conclusive evidence."

Tony was also deeply worried. In fact, he had noticed something unusual in the old man's eyes when he first met him.

They didn't interact much, especially when Tony was young. Whenever Victor visited, Tony always felt that Victor was a rigid person.

Strangely, his father particularly enjoyed talking with Victor, sometimes for hours on end, and even engaging in heated debates. (End of Chapter)
