Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 312 Mount Fuji exploded!
boom!
It was as if the sky had fallen and the earth had split open.

But unlike one instance recorded in history, this time the destructive force did not come from the sky, but from the seabed!

For countless years, Mount Fujiong, which had stood on land and underwater, suddenly erupted like a flood. Not only that, its entire body, like a porcelain vase struggling under pressure, cracked with dense, spiderweb-like golden patterns! Then, with a deafening roar!
exploded!
The massive volcano exploded and disintegrated directly from the inside!
Countless basalt fragments, like high-speed cannonballs, carrying the kinetic and potential energy of meteorites, forcefully resisted the high pressure of the deep sea, sweeping out in all directions, causing the seawater to boil wherever they went!
The lava gushed out like a flood.

The general-class drifting ship [Renhuang] was the first to suffer a devastating blow. The sturdy hull was melted open by the high temperature, and the drifting ship, which was hundreds of meters long, lost its navigation function. But this was not the most fatal thing: the seawater evaporated at extremely high temperatures, producing super-high temperature steam that rose up, instantly turning this sea area into a high-temperature furnace!

The nobles, crew members, and residents on the ship were all awakened from their sleep!
Emperor Renzong's eyes were blurry with age, and he didn't react for a moment.

What's going on here?
Nuclear bomb?

"Your Majesty! Mount Fuji... Mount Fuji... has been blown up!"

"What???"

Emperor Ren wondered if there was something wrong with his ears, but then, the floor of his VIP cabin tilted at about 40 or 50 degrees. Emperor Ren, along with his undisturbed clothes, fell to the ground. Then, all the solid cabin windows shattered, and a heat comparable to the Sea of ​​Ashes rushed towards him!

This!
"Damn it! That wretched Trindon, that wretched lighthouse, what has it done now!?"

"Your Majesty, evacuation is of utmost importance..."

Having held a high position for over fifty years, Emperor Ren naturally understood that this was not the time for curses or tracing the origins of the curses. He followed closely behind Shinichi, the A-rank Awakened who was guarding him closely, and stumbled towards the royal family's exclusive survival passage, entering a Silver-class drifting ship that was extremely adept at escape and speed.

This silver ship, embedded in the stern of the Emperor Ren, is an escape hull that can only be used in emergencies.

The ship was fully equipped, but had never been used.

But it will be replaced every three months.

"Cough cough."

The smell of sulfur and volcanic lava had spread, and it was extremely pungent.

Only then was Emperor Nioh able to see the scene outside clearly.

It was still late at night when the gushing lava, like the roots of a giant golden tree, spread and sank into the sea. Thick fog and steam turned this area into a scene of apocalyptic devastation, and the shockwave from the explosion turned the originally azure sea into a chaotic color.

Even in the early days of the Age of Wandering, there was no such devastation!

The sediment that had accumulated on the seabed for countless years was also stirred up, forming turbid and terrifying giant waves.

Occasionally, Emperor Nioh could still see familiar underwater wreckage.

Those were buildings from the land era, and they were actually overturned and thrown onto the sea!
Damn it!

What happened?!
In this critical moment, Emperor Renzong didn't even have the mind to worry about the safety of his family. He urged his men to start the escape boat. In this situation, time was life, and there was no time to worry about anything else! With a whoosh, the escape boat, which was less than 20 meters long, detached from the general's ship and sped away into the distance like an arrow.

"Go! Go to the Sea of ​​Soaring Dragons!"

"Yes!"

Just as Emperor Renzong settled down and breathed a sigh of relief.

A colossal figure vaguely emerged from the chaotic seawater. Immediately afterward, towering waves rose up, obscuring most of the two's vision. When the waves subsided, everything became clear, and a pair of indifferent dragon eyes, along with a lowered dragon head, appeared in Emperor Ren's field of vision.

Its eyes were jet black with a hint of gold.

Brutality tinged with indifference.

It was like the eyes of death, looking down upon all living beings.

"!!!"

Unfortunately, the Great Black Dragon had just awakened, and all attention was drawn to the enormous [Ren-ō] and the [Lighthouse] further away.

The aura of desecration also lingered within that great ship.

Shinichi, piloting the escape boat, breathed a sigh of relief. He then made a sharp turn, avoiding the extreme lava flowing from the dragon's mouth, and in an instant, escaped the dangerous area, speeding northwest. He had miraculously survived.

"Your Majesty! We've escaped!"

No one responded.

Shinichi turned his head and looked into the cabin.

The elderly Emperor Renzong, terrified, had already breathed his last.

……

……

……

For the [Renhuang], tonight is an unimaginable and already arrived apocalypse.

The wrath of the Mahakala dragon was unleashed upon this drifting ship.

Lava and fire!

The end of the world is coming!

This enraged dragon didn't even need to use the "Nine-Headed Sanctuary." The powerful general-class drifting ship, which was considered formidable by ordinary people, had already been completely disintegrated in the storm, tsunami, and earthquake, and torn apart by the destructive aura into fragments indistinguishable to the naked eye.

Drifting with the waves, heading north, south, east, and west!
The drifting ship that had repeatedly disturbed it in its sleep was completely destroyed, and even its navigational core disintegrated into powder that could not be gathered together.

Ordinary citizens of the Wo Kingdom were not qualified to live on general-class drifting ships; instead, they were scattered on numerous bronze and silver ships, thus fortunately escaping the calamity.

Emperor Renhuang withstood the first wave of attacks at the cost of shattering.

The lighthouse had a little time to prepare.

A piercing alarm rang throughout the entire King-class drifting ship. Countless ordinary citizens and awakened individuals were shocked to discover that a colossal sea beast, a thousand meters long, had appeared less than ten nautical miles from the King-class drifting ship's lighthouse and had directly destroyed the [Renhuang]!
At this moment, it floats indifferently on the sea, its nine heads standing proudly, facing the lighthouse that stretches for more than ten kilometers.

The sense of oppression is even stronger!
Is this an S-class sea monster?
Do not!
It looks far more terrifying than an S-class sea monster!
It has nine branched heads, and its body is covered with huge black scales. The edge of each scale is like the sharpest blade, making people tremble in their hearts. There are also nine pairs of black and gold eyes that are indifferent to everything and capable of destroying everything!
Brutal, cold-blooded, and brutal!
Whoosh!
Without any orders from higher command, the Lighthouse's "War Department" launched its strongest attack! The Lighthouse's hottest laser cannons ripped through the night, sweeping towards the leader of the Great Black Dragon.

"Die! Die!"

Ordinary awakened individuals and the general public have no idea what they are facing!
Therefore, they are destined to be disappointed!

"asshole!"

Sitting inside the Twin Towers, Terlinden was furious, anxious, and annoyed!
How did it wake up!

These idiots, how dare they attack!

As soon as the first laser cannon was fired, he hurriedly stripped the War Department of its weapon control and took charge of the current crisis himself!

"Immediately evacuate the waters off Fujingsan!"

"Sailing towards the Sea of ​​Dragons!"

Unlike Emperor Nioh's attempt to seek protection, Trindon intended to use the situation against him and divert the trouble eastward.

He understood perfectly well that with the Lighthouse's current strength, defeating an awakened Saint-level sea beast was nothing short of a pipe dream. Minimizing losses from its rage and successfully evacuating would be a stroke of luck! And once they reached the Sea of ​​Soaring Dragons, Yu the Great would certainly not stand idly by!
Even if we just sit idly by,

They will also suffer collateral damage!
Two against one, they might not necessarily lose.

But he still underestimated the power of the Holy Temple-level sea beast... The Dominator of Destruction's morning grumpiness will not be satisfied until it is vented.
……

The seawater burst into flames.
