Live stream: Bragging to an orca, exposed by netizens

In the command center, the alarm stopped.

The ear-piercing roar was gone, and the flashing red lights went out.

Evelyn and Hannah, as if all their strength had been drained, slumped down in front of their respective control panels.

Their foreheads were covered in sweat, the collars of their combat uniforms were ripped open, and they were panting heavily.

Everything fell silent.

On the main screen, the red dot representing the edge of the Australian plate has turned green again.

A tectonic collapse crisis that could have torn the entire Southern Hemisphere apart simply vanished.

They disappeared without a trace.

Hannah's fingers were still trembling slightly.

She brought up the data playback from earlier.

The combination of three sets of data—gravitational fluctuations, subtle deflections in the mothership's attitude, and the lunar gravitational field—perfectly offset the energy imbalance caused by the collapse of the seventh stabilizer.

Hannah looked at the data curve, her lips moved, but no sound came out.

This is not a result that can be obtained through calculation.

Evelyn did not speak.

She just stared intently at Shen Fei's back.

This man never looked back from beginning to end.

He didn't even go to the console to look at the data.

He just stood there and said one sentence.

Then, the crisis was averted.

Use the moon's gravity... to adjust the Earth.

Evelyn looked at her control panel, at the formulas and laws she knew by heart, and then at Shen Fei's back. Suddenly, she felt that everything in front of her was incomprehensible.

"The cutting... is still ongoing."

Evelyn's voice was a little hoarse.

She forced herself to focus back on her work.

On the screen, the golden cutting line that runs through half the earth is 99% complete.

"It is estimated that in five minutes, the entire Australian continental shelf, along with part of the Pacific Plate, will be completely stripped away."

"Mr. Shen, what happens after the cutting is complete?"

"This... what should we do with this piece that was cut off? Its energy is very unstable right now."

This was the second time she had asked, "What should we do?"

But this time, there was no doubt in her tone.

Shen Fei slowly turned around.

His gaze swept over Evelyn and Hannah.

"deal with?"

"Why do we need to deal with it?"

He walked to the main screen, stretched out his finger, and gently tapped the huge globe model.

The location he pointed to was the boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the Pacific Plate.

It is Tartarus, the deep-sea prison that imprisons the "devourer".

"Have you ever considered using a continent to collide with a target?"

His voice was very soft.

But this left Evelyn and Hannah's minds blank for a moment.

……

Thule Air Base.

Cheers came from the technicians over General Weber's walkie-talkie.

"General! Plate drift has stopped!"

"All seismic wave readings have been reset to zero!"

"God bless America! We are saved!"

Weber ignored him.

He looked out the window.

The golden patterns on the surfaces of the twelve black obelisks are slowly fading.

Has the crisis been resolved?

Weber had a kind of intuition.

The man known as "Shen" has a plan that is not so simple.

"General," David Murray's voice sounded behind him, "aren't you curious?"

Weber turned around and saw the arms dealer with his usual smile on his face.

"What are you curious about?"

"I'm curious what he'll do next."

David Murray pointed to the sky.

"Perhaps he felt there was something on his head that was in his way."

Before he could finish speaking...

Inside the base, the alarm that had just subsided began to howl again, ten times more shrill than before!

A technician scrambled over, his face drained of color.

"General! Those...those twelve obelisks...they've activated again!"

"This time...they're...they're pushing the North American continent!!"

……

Atlantean, command center.

Hannah suddenly jumped up from her seat!

"Report! Cutting complete!"

"The target plate completely separated from the main Earth's crust thirty seconds ago!"

On the screen, the golden cutting line completely closed, forming a closed loop.

Within this ring lies the entirety of Australia and a significant portion of the Pacific Ocean.

"But... its energy is spiraling out of control! We've lost our gravitational pull on it! It's... it's sinking into the mantle!"

Evelyn screamed too.

"Quick! Recalibrate the stabilizer! Pull it back!"

"No! Its mass is too great! We've cut off 0.8 percent of Earth's mass! The stabilizer's power isn't enough!"

"Then increase the power!"

"It's reached its limit! Any more and the stabilizer will burn out!"

"Mr. Shen!"

This time, both of them looked at Shen Fei at the same time.

Shen Fei ignored them.

His consciousness had crossed thousands of miles of deep sea and descended to the end of the Mariana Trench.

The tomb keeper sensed the king's will.

[My lord, what do I need to do?]

For the past thirty minutes, this 300-meter-tall behemoth has been like a statue, enduring the energy bombardment from the moon and channeling that power deep into the Earth's crust.

Now, its mission has changed.

Shenyang Aircraft Corporation issued new instructions.

There was no language, no writing.

There is only one pure command.

【push.】

The tomb keeper's enormous body moved.

Its two enormous hands, each capable of supporting a mountain range, pressed against the edge of the newly cut, bottomless crack.

then.

Push hard.

boom!!!

A tremendous force acted on the stripped-off plate.

Inside the command center.

Hannah's voice trembled as she stared at the fluctuating data on the screen.

"The tectonic plate... the tectonic plate has stopped subsiding!"

"It...it's moving!"

"Direction...direction is due west! Its speed is increasing! Three meters per second...five meters per second...fifteen meters per second!"

Evelyn rushed to the screen and looked at the huge model representing the tectonic plates, which, on the three-dimensional Earth, began to drift westward at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Its goal is the very heart of the Atlantic!

"What is he doing...?"

"He wants to use a continent... to collide with what?"

Evelyn murmured to herself.

It was at this moment that...

A cold, emotionless, mechanical voice echoed throughout the command center.

It's the sound of 07.

The second phase of the firewall program has been launched.

[Delivery process has begun.]

[Estimated impact time: 9 hours and 27 minutes.]

[Impact target: Tartarus Prison, Structural wall A-7.]

The words fell.

The main screen is split in two.

To the left is a continent burning with dark red energy, moving through the ocean, causing anomalies in ocean currents and geomagnetism wherever it passes.

To the right is the dark seabed of the Atlantic Ocean.

Tartarus, an ancient prison that stretches like a mountain range.

Deep within the prison, a red dot representing an unknown energy source is flashing at a fixed frequency.

thump.

thump.

thump.

Like a heart.

A heart that is waiting for something to arrive.

And this moment.

As the delivery process began, the heart suddenly started beating faster!

Thump! Thump! Thump-thump-thump!

[Alert! Unknown high-dimensional energy reaction detected!]

[Source: Earth's Core!]

For the first time, 07's voice showed a slight fluctuation.

The "Knocker"...has awakened!
