Above Destiny

Chapter 742 It's open, so it's open.

Within the blood mist, the hidden mermaid moved with incredible speed, its bizarre, half-human, half-snake-like body darting about. It swooped down, easily bypassing the close-in weapon system, and leaped through the blind spots between the warships to reach them and board them.

Their skin is like a thick rock shell, so even close-range machine gun fire will deflect and bounce off them.

Each of the four or six arms wields swords that solidify like flowing water, wreaking havoc. Some of the colossal individuals can even tear apart the armor plates of a warship. Others are wrapped in lightning and water, and when they hiss, they easily turn the entire cabin into a slaughterhouse. Under the swirling of countless high-speed water blades, countless sailors are caught off guard and cut into pieces in the narrow corridors.

But the offensive quickly came to an abrupt end.

As the death toll rose, blood flames surged, engulfing the large groups of Chosen Ones on the various warships. These were all his personal guards and private soldiers, who were also part of the Legion.

Suddenly, they launched a hunt. Just as the mermaids tried to create distance, a cold snort echoed from the void, like a thunderclap, erupting from every soul.

All the beasts were plunged into darkness, and the mist that had been carrying them seemed to lose its buoyancy and quickly dissipated.

When they turned back to face the large group of Chosen Ones united as one, what awaited them was a brutal ravage and massacre.

With a cold snort, Penarossa's brutal impact from the blood flames suppressed not only the mermaids present, but also the mist that filled the sea and sky. Under that indifferent voice, the mist suddenly trembled and dissipated.

A massive amount of blood and fire surged upwards along the mist like a tidal wave, and the sound of shattering echoed from the deepest part of the mist.

The horn broke.

Above the head of a giant, strange fish, an old merman, far more withered and hunched than his kind, came into everyone's view.

So old, with only two arms, yet adorned with conch shells and seashells, and wearing a bone crown, he resembled a priest.

The spiritual energy fluctuations were violent; even beasts, through their own talents, were faintly touching the edge of incantation.

The moment the fog dissipated, his figure instantly became ethereal, and without a second thought, he concealed himself, trying to create distance and disappear into the shadows.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

After a cold snort, came a sharp shout!
The axe in Penarossa's hand had already shot out of the air, and the booming sound was like a giant cannon firing. Under the surging blood flames, the old mermaid was squeezed out of the void again, her disguise shattered, and she only had time to turn her head... her pupils reflected the rapidly enlarging axe.

boom.!!

It exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

As the old priest was blown up, the piranhas roaming the sky seemed to lose control instantly, quickly scattering and fleeing. The mermaids, who had been working closely together, were also routed and swiftly chopped into pieces.

Ji Jue's eyelids twitched violently as he read this.

That's a huge group of bastards!

That's such a waste!
No matter how heartbroken Ji Jue was, there was no room for him to intervene.

In the presence of representatives from all sides, ninety-one mermaids and countless piranhas were torn to pieces and thrown into the sea.

This migrating mermaid clan was wiped out.

That's all.

Pesarona retrieved the axe and halberd that had seemingly reappeared in his hand, casually tossed them to his guards, and glanced disdainfully at Hamin: "You've gone to all this trouble, making such a big show of things. You must have worked really hard."

Running this far just to take care of a few wild beasts isn't even a warm-up, let alone a merit.

As for how Dancheng should boast, he had no interest.

The thought of having to put on a show with these guys just makes me annoyed.

Hamin chuckled self-deprecatingly, unconcerned by Pesarossa's disdain. However, just as he was about to speak, he saw Pesarossa's expression suddenly turn serious.

gloomy.

He glared angrily at himself.

That icy gaze sent shivers down Hamin's spine; he couldn't comprehend it.

Immediately afterwards, he heard the distant sound of horns rising and falling from the horizon... On the dead, dark sea, tiny phosphorescent lights rose and spread, like a sea of ​​stars.

Ji Jue's expression also changed.

On the satellite cloud image, this area was quickly covered by dark clouds, and a strong wind suddenly rose. Gusts of wind swept in, carrying the lingering stench that filled people's nostrils, making them nauseous.

Even more chilling is the stench of decay emanating from the deeper parts of the ocean.

Mermaids! Mermaids!
But the quantity... one, two, three, four... two hundred, three hundred... five hundred... six hundred...

Ji Jue was so stunned that he almost laughed.

Angry.

"I really underestimated you guys."

He glanced at the stunned Hamin and couldn't help but want to sneer.

After all the calculations and careful planning, I finally figured out how hypocritical these bastards were, but I still overlooked how idiotic they were... They actually managed to pull off such a huge stunt and cause such a massive disaster!

This is nowhere near the small group of mermaids causing disturbances as reported in the intelligence!

The group of mermaids they discovered was actually just an advance force sent by the various tribes that arrived later!

I thought that Karami was someone who could be bullied at will, but he was so busy creating hype and making big news that he ended up making big news that is now really showing up in front of him!

What about champagne?

Is it still open?
The difference between being calm and composed, and being rushed and scrambling, is just this little bit.

Surprised? Unexpected?
The mermaids, who had just died, seemed to sneer in the wind: "There are at least seven or eight more as awesome as me!" Such a turn of events, at best, is a case of utter humiliation. At worst, it's a fabricated intelligence report—what the hell are you insects thinking?!
"This this……"

Hamin began to sweat, feeling extremely uneasy under Penarossa's icy gaze. He stammered, "I...I...no, Dancheng knew nothing about this, Colonel. All the intelligence we received didn't mention anything like this...I..."

Hamin, who was almost in tears, quickly explained, "Even if Uncle wanted to do something wicked, he wouldn't use me as a cover!"

Garisto and Hamin, though nominally uncle and nephew, were practically father and son. In fact, their relationship of political and social succession was even closer than that of father and son.

Even if Garisto were really up to something, he would never use Hamin as a scapegoat. Besides, isn't being a dog of the Sacred Tree family more appealing? As long as you pay enough, they really don't care how you want to live. Isn't that better than being a dog of the Xu family or the like?

Makes no sense.

Are there really people who would give up a secure job to work for a shady shell company?
Peñarosa gave him one last look and couldn't help but utter an Imperial curse.

A direct translation of the federal slang would roughly mean: "Playing with idiots will lead to accidentally eating shit."

"Smart dogs are hard to train."

Ji Jue replied in the Imperial language, as a form of consolation.

Penarossa's expression immediately turned helpless, and she sighed.

He's already become a dog, what can you expect from him? So what if he's a bit mentally challenged? So what if he's a bit useless? He's your own pet, are you going to kill him?

Fortunately, although the situation is out of control, it is not insurmountable.

It's just a little troublesome.

The most awkward thing is that you have to host a dinner party and lose face, which is a huge loss of face.

“Mr. Ji, I’m afraid I won’t be able to attend to anything else now that things are going to get going.” Peñarosa nodded. “If there are any oversights, please forgive me.”

"Colonel, please feel free to proceed. Do you need my assistance?"

"Guests are always welcome; there's no reason to make them do the work."

Penarossa waved his hand one last time, dragging his axe and halberd, his belly full of evil anger, and walked towards his flagship.

Damn it, kill! Kill! Kill!

You damned bastards, you trashy beasts, prepare to die under my wrath!
In the distance, the thick fog reappeared, this time rising into the sky as if it were endless, turning into dark clouds.

In an instant, the rain poured down.

Above the torrential rain, in the dark clouds, streaks of lightning flashed in response to the bugle call.

The terrifying flashes of light gradually converged in one place, and thick bolts of lightning, summoned by the various tribes, descended from the sky like cannon fire, striking them!

Amidst the torrential rain, Penarossa irritably flung his hand, causing thunder to rumble in the void, as if an unseen hand had swept across, easily deflecting the incoming lightning bolts to the side.

With his other hand, he pulled out an antique object from his pocket, resembling a pure copper telescope, which shone brightly.

No, that's not a telescope, that's...

Ji Jue squinted his eyes.

—A scope mounted on an old-fashioned rifle?
Before they could even see clearly, they heard Peñarosa's icy voice, like a decree, resound throughout the fleet: "Order the entire fleet to open fire!"

There was no rebuttal, no questioning, and no delay whatsoever.

Even the instant the order was given, everyone instinctively sprang into action; in fact, even the cold warship seemed to be responding to his command.

Ji Jue raised an eyebrow, suddenly realizing something.

Oh, I see. So it's a weapon.
Under the cover of blood flames, all weapons and soldiers were brought under the control of the Heavenly Origin Path, treated as tools. Once an order was given, the tools would naturally begin to operate.

Without hesitation, execute it!

Six twin-mounted cannons, nine triple-mounted cannons, twenty twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns, hundreds of anti-aircraft guns... all the weapons accumulated by the entire Dancheng defense fleet over the years were now unleashed at full power under Penarossa's command!

The world was illuminated in an instant, and a deafening roar, louder than thunder, spread across the sea. Flames from the cannons surged like a tidal wave, and countless ammunition belts rose into the sky...

The entire fleet didn't even aim, aimlessly squandering its extremely violent power, and countless bursts of light had already enveloped the entire sea area.

Then... to everyone's astonishment, bolts of ammunition twisted like snakes, gracefully contorting into S-shapes in mid-air before traversing several kilometers and striking with pinpoint accuracy the colossal creatures on the distant sea surface and in the deep sea.

The cannonball, after making a 120-degree turn in mid-air, blasted the whale-like mutated creature into a pile of mud.

"Now we're really packing our bags and leaving our homes behind..."

Ji Jue sighed, his gaze once again falling on Peñarosa's scope, which was burning red-hot.

It's open, that's it, and there's absolutely no acting involved, not even a turn.

Auto-aiming headshots, wallhacks, map-wide targeting, bullet acceleration with no bullet drop... all the talents of FPS game players are here!

He started getting itchy fingers.

Since we're such good friends, you even treated me to dessert...

Can I touch it?

　Good news! The elevator that's been broken for four months is finally going to be replaced.

　　Bad news, the new elevator is being installed, and the electric drill will take several days to work!
　　I was sleepless until 6 a.m., and when I opened my eyes at 9 a.m., I'm going crazy, haha...
