Chapter 3248: Earth Shattering

BOOM!

Before Li Yao realized what was going on, earsplitting noises were echoing all around him. It was not the usual bombardment and explosions but a sign that the undersea mountains were being torn apart and magma was about to burst out.

Then, Li Yao saw a weird scene.

The room was dry and stable, but it seemed to be underwater at this moment. Visible ripples were spreading out. When the ripples swept over the bed, the bed, the bathroom, and his body, everything was blurred and twisted, producing endless wrinkles.

The feeling of nausea intensified.

Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Li Yao staggered to the door and opened it.

The corridor outside was also twisted into the shape of a fried dough twist by the waves. Many awakened ones were running in panic. For a moment, Li Yao suspected that everyone was going to be flattened by the twisted corridor. However, in the next moment, after the waves passed, the space was stable again, and everything was normal again.

“Li Yao! Li Yao!”

Sparda appeared out of nowhere and beckoned Li Yao to go up with him. “Enemy attack! God knows how the Heaven’s Origin Sector got the coordinates of the Ark Island. A lot of ‘Prisoners’ are bombarding the area outside. The defense layer that is maintaining the wrinkles of our space is about to collapse. Within half an hour, the wrinkles will certainly be broken. By then, the wrinkles will be gone, and the Ark Island will be exposed to the outside world. Nobody knows how serious the distortion will be. It is not safe to stay in the depths of the island. Come with me and fight the Prison Guardians of the Heaven’s Origin Sector!”

Li Yao was dragged to the top of the island by Sparda before he figured out what was going on.

What happened here surprised him even more.

The ocean and the sky around the Ark Island were as tranquil as before, as if there were a blue sky and white clouds. However, in the sky dozens of nautical miles away, interweaving gold lines appeared, which divided the sky and the ocean into hexagonal ‘defense modules’. Right now, all the defense modules were shaking violently and emitting dazzling brilliance.

It was like the sky was a translucent and indestructible bowl, and right now, the bowl had reached the limit of fatigue due to the heavy blow from outside forces. It could not hold on any longer and was cracking.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The quakes of every hexagonal defense module in the sky were accompanied by earsplitting noises. This time, it was going to be a literal earthquake.

Countless Hell Breakers ran to the top of the island like Li Yao and Sparda.

In the meantime, the shape of the Ark Island gradually changed amid the earsplitting noises. Many rocks shed their camouflage and turned into hideous turrets. Weapons that were far more advanced than those in the early 21st century on Earth slid out of the warehouse along the rails. Black barrels and rails that were glittering with electric arcs were aimed at the surface of the ocean. A lot of super personal weapons similar to light swords and plasma guns were distributed to all the Hell Breakers.

The island had really turned into a warship, an extremely powerful super warship.

Even so, faced with the catastrophe of the universe, the Hell Breakers could not contain the panic and fear deep inside their hearts.

“How come?”

They looked at each other in bewilderment. “How did the enemy find this place so quickly?”

After countless reincarnations, they had long understood that death was not the end.

However, before the preparation work was completed, the enemy had destroyed their nest and sabotaged their plan. They were locked in the damn cage forever, controlled, interfered, exploited, and harvested. It was a fate ten thousand times worse than death.

“Maybe our starship is being followed.”

Sparda said solemnly and spat on the ground. “It doesn’t make sense. We check all the cabins and components on board every day, even the screws, to make sure that there are no trackers that can escape our scanning. All the crew members have proved their loyalty in the tests of deep hypnosis or even the memory of their previous lives. There is no way that they can be followed!

“What went wrong exactly? Damn it!”

After cursing for a while, his face suddenly turned pale. He held the reef next to him and vomited.

Many people were the same as him, including Li Yao. Sparda told Li Yao that it was a normal reaction of space quakes. Right now, they were on a short ‘space trip’ where they would return to the normal space from the space folds. The more disgusted they felt, the weaker the structure of the space folds would be, indicating that they were about to collapse.

Even the apocalyptic beasts that Li Yao saw when he arrived on ‘Lucky Star’—the giant white fish that were as translucent as jade with colorful fins, the glamorous jellyfish that looked like dancing fairies, and the hundreds of bizarre apocalyptic beasts—all sensed the space waves and flooded to the surface of the ocean from the bottom of the ocean. Some of them even jumped high into the air and shouted, “Jiang Ang! Jiang Ang! Jiang Ang!”

The earsplitting noises lasted ten minutes. The world in front of everyone’s eyes was sometimes stable and sometimes twisted. Visible ripples even appeared on the boundless ocean. Then, the noises and quakes suddenly stopped.

Although the attack came to an end, nobody was able to swallow their heart back into their stomach, because after a moment of dead silence, they heard a series of squeaking sounds.

It was hard to describe what kind of sound it was. It was like someone was locked in a sealed iron house, only to be compressed and constricted by an even stronger force.

Or rather, the Hell Breakers were like a group of submarine soldiers who had discovered that the submarine they were on had been seriously damaged by the enemy’s mines. Not only was its shell riddled with holes, it had also lost its impetus and buoyancy and was sinking toward the abyss of increasing pressure.

A storm was brewing. Right now, every inch of space was on the verge of destruction.

Finally—

Li Yao was the first to notice that a hexagonal ‘defense module’ had collapsed and disappeared in the sky far away!

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed what he was seeing. A hexagonal hole suddenly appeared in the blue sky, while dark clouds were rolling in the sky outside the hole. Thunder was rumbling, and a storm was pouring in through the hole like a waterfall, forming a black pillar of water!

“Ah!”

All the Hell Breakers exclaimed.

In the blink of an eye, the cracks spread out at a speed visible to the naked eye. More and more hexagonal holes appeared in the blue sky, and the dark clouds, thunder, and storm gnawed away the few blue skies and white clouds like ferocious giant beasts. It did not take long before the entire sky was swallowed by darkness. The lightning and the torrential rain turned into the main color of the heaven and the earth. Enraged faces were even condensed in the dark clouds, overlooking the lone island and the prison breakers on it.

In the middle of the raging storm, a fearless, insane fleet was approaching the Ark Island at a high speed.

It was a fleet of various kinds of ragged ships. There were ten-thousand-ton ships, inconspicuous ocean fishing boats, and even several warships.

Judging from the flags and the carrier numbers, they were mostly from the countries near Southeast Asia. They had been summoned by a certain weird yet powerful force and marched toward the Ark Island without rest. That was why they were able to assault the place in the first place.

Other tankers, fishing boats, and warships were not a big deal. After all, according to the development of the reincarnation, the countries in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific did not have a strong navy. But the iron beast at the end of the line was as magnificent as a mountain and as intimidating as a deity. It was the largest war machine that mankind could build in this era, an aircraft carrier!

No. It was not just an aircraft carrier. Judging from the brilliance of steel amid the raging tides, it was a fully-armed carrier fleet. Maybe it had been wiped out by the apocalypse, no, the will of the earth, during a live-fire drill or a rescue mission!

“The enemy is going to fight to the death!”

Li Yao had no doubt that the will of the earth had the ability to interfere with the brainwaves of human beings, control their thoughts temporarily, and control an aircraft carrier group as well as more ten-thousand-ton ships and warships in a certain evil way.

Again, it was a question of how many resources to invest and the price to pay. If the will of the earth was willing to pay any price, it would naturally be able to achieve everything in front of it, but doing so would certainly be a serious burden or even a strike for it, which was not conducive to the war in the great universe.

Therefore, the will of the earth was very confident that it would destroy the Ark Foundation in the shortest amount of time and at the least cost. The virus that crawled into its ‘heart, brain, and engine’ would be completely wiped out. Then, it would turn around and deal with the enemies in the battlefield of the universe calmly.

Not good.

Li Yao looked around. The ‘paradise’ that had been hiding the Ark Island was gone. The space wrinkles were gone. Right now, the entire Ark Island was exposed to the will of the earth.

This place had become the ‘home field’ for the will of the earth. Naturally, the attackers had the upper hand.

Lightning and thunder, stormy weather, raging tides, and continuous tsunamis were not suitable for the sailing and warring of a fleet. Even a ten-thousand-ton starship would have to retreat in the face of tides more than ten meters high, not to mention cutting through them.

However, every cargo ship or warship on the attacking side seemed to have received the blessing of all the deities and devils in the world. Enshrouded by mysterious force fields, they were moving among the furious tides as if they were on the ground and even accelerated to the maximum speed with the help of the tides!
