Human technology still possessed powerful deterrent force in this age of Reiki Revival.
Aside from a very small number of powerful Mutated Beasts capable of withstanding missiles and artillery fire, the vast majority of Mutant Creatures remained weak. Their bodies could only be shattered amid the thunderous barrage of shelling.
In that battle at Haicheng, if not for that First Sequence Mutant Octopus breaking through Haicheng's gates and even piercing the Espers' defensive line, how could those Mutant Sea Beasts have entered the city so easily?
"Mutant Black Serpent detected in the sea. It is currently undergoing advancement. If we interfere now, there is a high chance we can cause its advancement to fail. Even if it succeeds, it will fall into a weakened state."
"But if we let it escape, we will inevitably face retaliation from a First Sequence Mutant Sea Beast in the future."
"Director, please give the order."
The staff member looked at the director of the Spirit Energy Bureau. Now was the best possible time.
Whether or not they could affect the Mutant Black Serpent's advancement, they would still deal it a tremendous blow.
And they had an excellent chance of hunting it down.
The value possessed by a Mutant Sea Beast caught between the First Sequence and Second Sequence was beyond imagination.
"Attack!"
"Why shouldn't we?"
"We possess Huaxia's strongest technology, its most comprehensive firepower, and even small nuclear warheads. I refuse to believe we can't kill it!"
"Retaliation? You make it sound as though it could live peacefully with humanity if we simply left it alone."
The director of the Spirit Energy Bureau spoke without hesitation.
Leaving aside the value and honor that hunting a First Sequence Mutant Sea Beast would bring them, would he really fear retaliation from a mere Mutant Sea Beast?
