"Waaaaah! Waaaah! Waaaah!"

Air raid sirens blared over the New Deep Pool Fortress!

"All personnel in position! Check weapons safety!"

"Turn the cannon to maximum power! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"Logistics, move all the medicines up to the city walls!"

Inside the cockpit of the 300-meter- Machine God stationed in the central square of the fortress.

Berris broke out in a cold sweat.

"Beep beep beep beep!"

On the radar screen of the Machine God, countless red dots were flashing.

"Damn it! This energy fluctuation, and this intense spatial tearing reaction..."

Having experienced the previous Destruction Five Days, Berris saw through the true nature of these red dots at a glance!

"It's a portal! The cross-server portals for those bosses!"

Berris screamed in terror, "They... they're all coming down here!"

"And... how could there be so many?!"

She dared not delay for a moment and immediately rushed outwards along the internal network of the Machine God, wanting to find Jiangnan.

However, when her data stream condenses and takes shape on the external monitoring probe above the Machine God's head.

But they found Jiangnan standing on top of the Machine God, looking down at the sea below.

"Something terrible has happened! Thunder Living Person!"

Berris stamped her feet in frustration, pointing her holographic little finger at the whirlpool on the sea surface.

"The bosses are all coming! Monsters from all over the world are converging here!"

Jiangnan remained expressionless and simply asked a question.

"How many?"

Berris counted on her fingers, her voice trembling.

"The radar can lock onto at least 20 energy sources of super-grade or higher!"

"Moreover, several of them are already on the verge of breaking through the boundary and descending onto the sea surface!"

"Only 20 or so?"

Upon hearing this, Jiangnan frowned in disdain.

"With such a small quantity, how long would it take my Human Emperor Lamp to advance to Divine Grade?"

However, even a mosquito's leg is still meat; after all, they are free employees who have voluntarily applied for the job, so why not hire them?

Jiangnan sighed, flicked his wrist, and twirled the spear.

"Perfect timing, I'll try out this new weapon today, and also..."

"Those new Word Spirit that were just brushed out of the lamp."

He gave the order to Berris without turning his head.

"Keep an eye on RVs and campsites."

I'll be right back.

"Oh... okay... okay! Be careful!"

Berris paused for a moment, then became absorbed in the Machine God's main control system.

Ready to activate the Machine God at any time.

Jiangnan didn't waste any more words. He raised his right hand and clenched it in the air!

"Purple Firmament Thunder Stirring, Thunder-Driving Lightning-Wielding!"

"In the name of light, shatter the darkness!"

"BOOM!!!"

The moment the words left his mouth, purple lightning struck Jiangnan from the heavens!

Amidst the lightning, he was enveloped in a layer of lightning armor!

Even the Three-Point Double-Edged Spear in his hand, brimming with demonic energy.

It was now also engulfed in violent purple Electric Arc, emitting thunderous roars!

Just as Jiangnan was about to leap off, the eyes of the Machine God lit up.

A stern reminder came from Berris.

"Hey! Thunder Living Person! Don't use too much force!"

"The Machine God's medical system automatically scanned your physical functions earlier."

"The reactor core in your chest, which powers your heart, is nearing its limit!"

"The side effects of this high-intensity, sustained combat are enormous; you won't be able to handle it!"

Upon hearing this, Jiangnan subconsciously touched his left chest.

"I know."

He looked down at the portal that had already taken shape. "When it's almost time, I'll return to the Machine God."

Immediately, he exerted force with both legs!

"Bang!"

Jiangnan transformed into a streak of purple lightning and shot towards the first teleportation portal below!

At this moment, on the breakwater wall at the edge of Deep Pool Fortress.

"Boom..."

On the sea surface, a giant whirlpool is spinning.

"It's coming out!"

Artillery Regiment Commander Li Long stood atop the highest point of the city wall, his hands gripping military binoculars.

When he could clearly see the shadows faintly emerging inside the portal, he reached out and swung his hand towards the sea.

"Target, the portal directly ahead! All guns, fire! Blast it back to its home base!!!"

"Bang bang bang bang!"

In an instant, hundreds of cannons on the city wall roared in unison!

Countless fiery meteors, trailing trails of flame, poured towards the teleportation portal!

The air was thick with the sound of gunfire and smoke!

The sound of the explosion even drowned out the roar of the waves.

However, just when everyone thought the monster would be blown to pieces inside the door...

"Hiss!"

A strange scream suddenly erupted from the depths of the smoke!

Then, "Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

A dozen tentacles, their surfaces covered in green venom sacs and barbs, pierced through the smoke of the explosion and lashed against the fortress walls!

"Boom!"

The city walls shattered before these tentacles, and more than a dozen cannons were instantly torn to pieces.

The smoke cleared.

A monster over fifty meters tall has officially entered the fortress's sea area!

It is entirely translucent green.

Beneath the enormous umbrella, countless highly venomous tentacles, flashing with green lightning, hung down.

This is none other than the [Abyss Jellyfish King], a top-tier boss from the deep sea of the Canglan Continent!

"Damn it! The artillery fire didn't do any real damage to it at all!"

Commander Li Long stared at the shattered artillery emplacements, his eyes bloodshot with rage.

Just as the defense line was about to collapse.

"Make way! Sharp Blade Squad, take over the battlefield!"

Accompanied by a mezzo-soprano voice, Xu Wange, the vice-captain of the Dragon Ascension Squad, led the [Sharp Blade Squad] into the battlefield from behind the city wall!

Xu Wange took the lead, carrying the [Proud Dragon Maces] in her hand!

"Mountain-Shaking!"

She let out a sharp cry, activating her Supernatural Ability!

The effect of the Mountain-Shaking is to infinitely amplify the vibration frequency!

She swung her Proud Dragon Maces, smashing it into one of the jellyfish king's tentacles!

"Buzz!"

Visible shockwaves traveled along the tentacles.

The tentacle, as thick as a water tank, couldn't withstand the high-frequency vibration and burst open, spitting out green blood!

"Excellent! Deputy Captain Xu!"

Following behind her was Xin An, the current captain of the Sharp Blade Squad.

Since the old captain Zhao Yan retired, he has taken over the important task with his rich combat experience and investigative Supernatural Ability.

Xin An closed his eyes tightly, unleashing his Supernatural Ability [S-class Complete Map Analysis]!

All hostile targets and weaknesses within a radius of several kilometers were presented in his mind.

"Everyone be careful!"

"This is the Abyss Jellyfish King of the Canglan Continent, its entire body is covered in corrosive and neurotoxins."

"And it will unleash a wide range of green lightning!"

Xin An shouted a warning while quickly pinpointing the opponent's weakness.

"Liu Ruyan, attack the junction of its umbrella canopy! Shadow, restrict the movement of its tentacles!"

"I know! Don't try to order me around!"

Liu Ruyan snorted coldly.

"Zheng!"

With a clang, the longsword on her back automatically unsheathed, aiming straight for the jellyfish king's umbrella-shaped jaw!

On the other side, Shadow rapidly formed hand seals.

The shadows below the city wall coalesced into several enormous celestial dogs.

They bit down on the remaining tentacles of the jellyfish queen, forcibly dragging her to the spot!

Thanks to the tacit cooperation of the Sharp Blade Squad, the Abyss Jellyfish King was forced into a retreat, sustaining multiple injuries.

The green blood stained a large area of the sea, indicating that the wound was severe!

"Well done! Get ready to deliver the final blow!"

Xin An's face lit up with joy.

However.

Just when everyone thought victory was assured.

Hiss hiss hiss!

The Abyss Jellyfish King's umbrella suddenly contracted, and its body turned purplish-black!

"Oh no! It's about to enter its second phase of berserk mode! Retreat!"

Xin An's expression changed drastically, and he shouted a warning!

But it was too late.

"Boom!"

A terrifying thunderstorm, spanning hundreds of meters, erupted centered on the Jellyfish King!

This lightning not only contained high temperatures, but also contained a nerve-toxic mist!

"Ugh!"

Even Xu Wange and the others, who possessed top-tier strength, felt dizzy and disoriented after inhaling the poisonous fog.

Several people coughed up a mouthful of Black Blood and collapsed to the ground with difficulty.

The fate of ordinary soldiers without Supernatural Ability was even more appalling.

"Ugh! My head hurts so much!"

"Kill me... shoot me now!"

On the city wall, hundreds of China soldiers, including San Duo, lay on the ground, rolling around and groaning in agony.

This kind of pain acts directly on the deepest level of neurons.

This even led some soldiers with weaker willpower to attempt to find relief through death.

"Oh no..."

Xin An knelt on one knee, clutching her chest.

These top-tier superhumans, with their formidable physiques, won't be killed by the poison anytime soon.

But those ordinary soldiers are different!

Without professional treatment from a poison-based superhuman, they would die in excruciating pain within three minutes at most!

Unfortunately, their team lacked a healer capable of neutralizing the Jellyfish Queen's deadly poison!

Just when everyone was plunged into despair, and cries of agony echoed throughout the fortress.

Thump!

A muffled thud suddenly rang out from the command tower at the highest point of the fortress!

"Wherever the red flag points, ten thousand troops will follow!"

"Fight to the death, never retreat; our military spirit will live on forever!!!"

"Buzz!"

As the sound faded...

Suddenly, a phantom of a red flag rose into the night sky atop the highest point of the fortress!

The red flag fluttered in the strong wind, radiating golden light.

The light poured down, shining on every China soldier!

A miracle occurred at that moment.

"Huh... I'm not in pain anymore?"

San Duo, who was rolling on the ground, suddenly froze.

To his surprise, the excruciating nerve pain had disappeared!

Not only that, he even felt his body brimming with power.

All the previous fatigue and injuries vanished!

All the soldiers miraculously stood up.

They all looked up at the figure atop the Tall Tower, radiating boundless light.

Even Xu Wange and the others who had fallen to the ground stood up again under the golden light.

The jellyfish venom in his body was cleared out.

Liu Ruyan gripped her longsword tightly, staring at the figure atop the Tall Tower, "This is..."

Xu Wange wiped the Black Blood from the corner of her mouth.

"It's our... August 1st God of War."

On top of the Tall Tower.

Lin Bayi, dressed in military uniform, stood tall in the raging wind.

He gripped the phantom of the red flag with both hands and waved it forcefully at the highest point!

This is Sequence 081 [God of War]!

Its core domain Supernatural Ability can be summed up in a single sentence!

All soldiers who are illuminated by the God of War's light will not die as long as their battle flags do not fall!

And it's immune to all negative states!

"Roar!!!"

Seeing that the deadly toxic thunderstorm she had unleashed was neutralized by a single flag, the Abyss Jellyfish King was enraged!

It leaped out of the sea, waving its remaining tentacles in mid-air, attempting to snap the red flag in two!

However...

Just as the Abyss Jellyfish King into the air and was about to touch the red flag.

"Huh?"

A sudden illusion flashed through the simple mind of the Abyss Jellyfish King.

It suddenly felt...

The red flag that was once so close now seemed so far away!

Not only the red flag, but also the city below, and those human soldiers...

Everything is getting bigger and taller!

"Buzzing..."

The jellyfish queen emitted a trembling sound of surprise and uncertainty.

No... it's not that the red flag has gone further away!

It's not that the city has gotten bigger!

Instead...

It itself is getting smaller!!!

"Click."

The next moment.

A grand divine voice entered its mind.

"A mustard seed contains Mount Sumeru; I imprison you within it!"

Only then did the Abyss Jellyfish King raise her head in utter terror.

It discovered in despair that there was a human face directly above it.

They are looking down at you through a transparent glass wall!

And below him, where were the sea and the city?

That was clearly a... human hand!!!

Outside world.

Jiangnan's palm is facing upwards.

A crystal ball was floating in his palm at that moment.

The once towering fifty-meter-tall Abyss Jellyfish King had shrunk to the size of a grain of rice.

It was striking the inner wall of the crystal ball, but to no avail.

This is one of the [Five New Word Spirit] that he obtained from the Human Emperor Lamp.

[Word Spirit: Tiny World (Sequence 014)]

[Function]: Shrinks the designated target to the size of a grain of rice and forcibly imprisons it within a crystal ball condensed in the caster's palm.

For one hour, the internal targets were unable to launch any attacks; the cage could only be breached from the outside.

[Characteristics]: Control, Coercion, Vulnerability.

[Shoot out]: As far as the eye can see.

[Consumables]: 8 characters. [Range]: 50 meters within line of sight.

[Activation Method]: With your right palm facing upward and fingers loosely clenched, chant, "A mustard seed contains Mount Sumeru, imprison you within!"

"A decent control skill; it's like putting a boss directly into a Poké Ball."

Jiangnan looked at the crystal ball in his palm and was very satisfied with this spatial Supernatural Ability.

This kind of control, which is like a dimensional reduction attack, is simply a divine skill when facing a massive BOSS.

"Well, now it's time to get rid of it."

Jiangnan's eyes turned cold, and he tossed the crystal ball that sealed the Jellyfish Queen into the air with his right hand.

Then, he gripped the Three-Point Double-Edged Spear tightly in his right hand, exerted force from his waist, and thrust the spear out like a dragon!

"Sizzle!"

Accompanied by a flash of lightning, the spear tip pierced through the crystal ball in mid-air!

The Abyss Jellyfish King's spear tip was instantly torn apart!

A large amount of green blood and brain matter exploded into a cloud of blood mist in mid-air!

"Go."

Jiangnan waved his hand, and at that moment, he summoned the [Human Emperor Lamp] from his waist.

"Splash!"

Several black coffin nail chains shot out and pierced into the cloud of blood mist.

It locked away the still-burning soul of the Abyss Jellyfish King.

They dragged it into the lamp wick!

Only after its soul was contained did its lifeless, mangled corpse lose its Suppression.

It began to rapidly grow larger in mid-air, eventually returning to its original size of fifty meters.

It crashed into the Prayer Deep Pool below, creating towering waves, and sank to the bottom of the sea.

At the same time, the jellyfish queen appeared across the sea via a portal.

Because it lost its target anchor point, it began to shrink and eventually turned into a black light and shut down.

The first boss was defeated instantly.

But Jiangnan did not rush to enter.

Because there are still many bosses approaching.

Several more spatial vortexes are rapidly forming around the sea surface.

Jiangnan gently patted the [Human Emperor Lamp], which was burping from eating.

He twirled the Three-Point Double-Edged Spear in his hand, flicking the green blood from the tip.

Gazing at the next portal about to open on the sea.

"Let's go, next stop..."

"It's time to use the second Word Spirit."
