Even after awakening Abaddon, Luo Yan hadn't left yet, still moving rapidly across the North American continent in search of the next Titan.
It was precisely because Luo Yan was wreaking havoc on American territory that the United States could not stand idly by.
Luo Yan was not large in size and seemed easy to deal with, but the human leadership still sent a considerable number of troops out of caution.
The operation was led by US four-star general MacArthur.
Because the war ended prematurely in this world, MacArthur no longer had the opportunity to serve as the Commander-in-Chief of the Far East Army, nor the chance to be promoted to a five-star general.
His greatest achievement was becoming the commander of the U.S. forces in the Philippines.
After the tsunami, MacArthur was transferred back to the United States and then given an important position as Army Chief of Staff, where he was tasked with capturing the monster messenger.
"Douglas, the higher-ups actually sent you to deal with a mere monkey. This is really making a mountain out of a molehill."
Barton, Mack's adjutant, walked into Mack's office with a cup of coffee.
The 59-year-old Matthew said solemnly, "This is the messenger who has awakened the Titans. We should be cautious of any enemy we do not understand."
"What's there to be careful about when dealing with a monkey like that? Its frail body can't even withstand a missile."
Patton was full of confidence, and even Luo Yan's tall and burly body, which was more than ten meters tall, became a synonym for weak in his eyes.
Mac frowned, displeased with his adjutant's carelessness and underestimation of the enemy: "Patton, how are the logistical preparations? Have all the tanks and armored vehicles in the armored battalion been maintained? Where has the mission target been moved to?"
When his superior inquired about the work, Barton became serious: "Logistics are fully prepared. The target, the Monster Messenger, entered the Sedona area of Arizona fifteen minutes ago."
Mai Shuai nodded and said firmly, "Our previous slow response from the authorities has already allowed the people of Wyoming to suffer the ravages of the beast. This time, we must absolutely ensure the safety of Arizona."
"Barton, notify John's flight squadron and armored battalion to depart immediately and eliminate the monster messenger!"
“Yes, sir!” Patton shouted.
Chapter 124 Scylla's Freeze Line
Luo Yan moved too fast; when he awakened Abaddon at Devil's Tower in Wyoming, the United States didn't even have time to react.
They did not observe the battle between Luo Yan and Abaddon.
Otherwise, if the United States knew that Luo Yan had suppressed Abaddon with just his mental power, they would not have dared to clamor for Luo Yan's capture and killing.
Near an oil field in Arizona.
Luo Yan appeared at the scene and drove away the surrounding oil field workers.
The appearance of the Titan caused the sky to collapse and the earth to cave in. If the humans near the oil field are not driven away, it will definitely cause huge casualties.
Luo Yan is not a monster who disregards human life. He has no grudges against the oil field workers, so there is no need to kill them. Saving them is a good thing.
Those oilfield workers weren't as brain-dead as the Americans of later generations, daring to use shotguns to fight monsters.
Upon seeing Luo Yan appear, they turned and ran without saying a word, with the oil field owner being the first to lead the escape.
The vast oil field became empty in the blink of an eye, with only the oil extraction machines that hadn't been shut down still roaring.
After the workers had run several kilometers away, Luo Yan used his mental power to stimulate the Titan Scylla underground.
Just like Leviathan's reaction, Scylla's consciousness was severely impacted, and she went berserk and burst out of the ground.
A large mound bulged up in the ground, and soil and oil extraction machinery weighing tens of tons were all blown away. Black oil shot into the sky like a fountain and then fell as black rain.
A greasy conch head and long legs emerged from the ground; Scylla burst forth from the earth.
Scylla is nearly 100 meters tall and resembles a hybrid of a spider, octopus, and conch. It has six huge, slender legs, and its body and limbs are disproportionate. It is also the lightest of the Titans.
Its head resembles an octopus, and it has a shell similar to a conch shell on its body. It is covered in viscous oil, and its style is very Cthulhu-esque, the kind that will make you lose sanity just by looking at it.
Scylla let out a mournful roar, searching for any creature that might have attacked or ambushed it.
Scylla spotted Luo Yan at a glance, and just as it was about to attack him, the roar of airplane engines echoed from the horizon.
With its silver-white fuselage and wingspan of over thirty meters, Luo Yan recognized the B-17 "Flying Fortress" heavy bomber at a glance.
This bomber, manufactured by Boeing, represents the most advanced bomber technology currently available in the United States.
It was the world's first heavy bomber equipped with a radar sight, enabling it to accurately drop bombs from high altitudes.
The aircraft was equipped with thirteen 12.7 mm M-2 heavy machine guns.
It can carry a 7900-kilogram bomb.
They are the main fighting force of the United States in dealing with Luo Yan, this monster messenger.
The United States has deployed a flight squadron of eight aircraft and an armored battalion on its own soil this time.
An armored battalion consists of a battalion headquarters and a headquarters company, and four tank companies.
Although the troop strength looks a bit small, this armored battalion has more than 80 tanks and more than 500 people.
Mack believed that the target of this operation was not the Titan, but only the Monster Messenger, and that this number of troops was more than enough.
In addition, Luo Yan's side was just a small-scale skirmish; the main battlefield was actually Abaddon, Wyoming, where most of the US military forces were heading to Wyoming.
Eight bombers roared past, accurately dropping bombs, while rows of tanks and armored vehicles slowly surrounded them from a distance.
Luo Yan initially thought the United States was going to bomb Scylla, but as the bombs got closer and closer, he became a little puzzled.
"Why does it feel like the Americans are after me? Why are they ignoring this huge spider monster and bombing me with all these bombs?"
Fighting Titans?
The Russians had already used nuclear weapons when dealing with the Titan Anhuruk.
The results are clear to all countries.
Anhuruk absorbed the nuclear radiation, becoming even stronger, and wiped out an entire Russian mechanized armored division.
The United States has learned its lesson and realized that it must never use nuclear weapons against Titan.
Until humanity develops weapons more powerful than nuclear weapons, any bomb can only enrage the Titans, without causing them any harm.
That's why humanity yielded and treated the Titans like emperors, serving them with utmost care.
Heavy bombs rained down at Luo Yan's feet and exploded around him. The explosions of these 1,000-kilogram bombs were powerful enough to collapse even a reinforced concrete fortress.
However, despite the violent shockwave and scorching heat, Luo Yan, who was at the center of the explosion, remained unmoved.
That's it?
That's not enough!
Luo Yan looked up at the bombers in the sky with anticipation, hoping that the Americans would airdrop him a nuclear weapon so he could absorb some radiation.
As the smoke slowly dissipated, the bomber squadron flew over Luo Yan's head once again.
Upon seeing Luo Yan completely unharmed, one of the pilots exclaimed in surprise, "Shit, that monkey is perfectly fine."
The pilot relayed Luo Yan's situation to his superiors. Mai Shuai from the operations department raised an eyebrow and said, "Continue bombing the target. Tank company, set up formation to prevent the target from escaping."
The tank tracks moved, and more than eighty tanks and armored vehicles approached Luo Yan from two directions.
"Be careful not to hit that giant spider when you fire. If you anger that long-legged creature, our army can't outrun it." Someone said in the channel, which immediately caused a burst of laughter.
"Company commander, as long as we don't attack, that giant spider won't move, right? What if... I mean, what if..."
Some people are still worried.
"According to expert research, the Titans do not attack humans unless provoked. As long as we do not attack that giant spider, I think it will ignore our presence."
The Titans treat humans much like humans treat ants. As long as the ants don't bite, people generally won't pay attention to the ants under their feet and won't deliberately step on them.
These days, experts' words are considered golden rules. When the company commander cited the expert's explanation, the young army soldiers all breathed a sigh of relief.
However, experts also said that this is under normal circumstances.
Scylla is now dazed and confused after being hit by Luo Yan's psychic hammer.
Upon regaining consciousness, Scylla immediately saw human aircraft making noise overhead and mistook them for enemies, turning her attention to attacking the bomber squadron.
As the eight bombers once again dropped bombs over Luo Yan's head, Scylla, who had been standing still, suddenly spat out a white beam of light from his mouth.
Of the eight bombers, three were unable to dodge in time and were struck by the white light. In an instant, thick ice formed on the fuselage of the bombers, and the propellers were frozen solid.
"Jump! Jump now!"
The plane lost power, and the pilot immediately ejected to safety.
The B-17 bomber's cabins lack pressurization or heating equipment, and when flying at altitudes above 30,000 feet, the cabin temperature can sometimes drop to -10 degrees Celsius.
Therefore, pilots always wore special heated suits, heavy gloves, and oxygen masks. Thanks to these equipment, they were not frozen into ice sculptures in the white light of Scylla.
Luo Yan was greatly surprised to see Scylla spewing out a freezing beam.
He did know that Scylla had freezing capabilities, which could play a positive role in mitigating the melting of Antarctic glaciers and reducing sea-level rise.
Luo Yan only thought it was Scylla's passive ability, that her body naturally emitted freezing air, but he did not expect it to be such a high-level light line skill.
Those who can fire beam attacks in the MonsterVerse are all beings who have a chance to compete with Gotham for the throne of the Monster King.
Scylla looks thin and weak, like she could be easily knocked over, but she has the qualifications of a king.
Luo Yan looked at it with new respect and was even more eager to extract its bone marrow and collect its genes.
However, he cannot reveal his collection of Titan genes to humans, so he must first drive them away or kill them before he can get to work.
The remaining five planes managed to evade Scylla's beam of light. The pilots immediately pulled up altitude and shouted into the communicator, "The Titan has attacked us! It's teamed up with that monkey! Command, I request permission to launch a counterattack against the Titan!"
Inside the command center, Mai Shuai hesitated for a moment before firmly ordering, "Ignore the Titan. Your objective remains the same: the Monster Messenger. Kill him, and we'll have achieved our goal."
"Are we just going to let that spider attack us?"
"Soldiers, obey orders!" Mack said sternly.
"Yes, sir."
The pilot gave in, lowered the altitude again, and at an altitude of one thousand meters, dropped the remaining ammunition at Luo Yan.
The explosions of heavy aerial bombs once again engulfed Luo Yan.
But this time Luo Yan did not remain indifferent. He carried the explosion, collected shrapnel and large rocks around him, and then aimed at the plane high in the sky, throwing the debris out with force.
Luo Yan could have easily pulled all the bombers down from the sky using his mental power.
However, he did not want to expose his abilities and trump cards to humans too early, so he adopted the Beast Titan's tactic of throwing things.
"Haha, that monkey is throwing pebbles at the airplane!"
