Chapter Summaries

Su Na and the Iron Brotherhood evacuated as an enormous shell hurtled toward them, while Yang Yi woke after being struck by it and prepared to stop its flight. The Long-Legged carried Su Na, Cui Xiya, and Xiaoji away as the shell’s approach stirred the sea.

• Su Na freed the Long-Legged, boarded with Xiaoji, and took control despite injuring her right arm.
• Yu Dawei ordered the Iron Brotherhood to evacuate after Zhang Zhi detected a fast-moving underwater threat, and the members abandoned damaged ships and the Iron Will.
• The Iron Brotherhood retreated as the seawater boiled and a shock wave appeared in the distance.
• Yang Yi regained consciousness with severe injuries, used Healing of the Flame to stabilize himself, and saw that Su Na and the others were retreating.
• Yang Yi told Su Na to lead everyone farther away, then summoned the Broken Iron Greatsword and prepared to stop the shell.

Yang Yi shattered the enormous metal shell that had carried him away, then made it back to the Long-Legged in a badly flattened state. The Iron Brotherhood salvaged the wreckage of the Mechanical Kraken while the group helped Yang Yi recover.

• The shell’s impact scattered the Mechanical Kraken into parts, and Zhang Zhi directed the returning Iron Brotherhood members to salvage supplies.
• Yang Yi transformed, equipped his armor, and used repeated flame-enhanced Shattering Oathbreaker Slashes to crack the shell.
• Yang Yi delivered a final slash that shattered the shell and sent him flying with its fragments.
• Su Na piloted the Long-Legged toward Yang Yi’s coordinates, and Yang Yi climbed aboard through its hatch.
• Yang Yi asked for food to help him recover, and Su Na gave him a Potion.

Yang Yi recovered from his injuries with Su Na’s Proliferative Potion, but it gave him an extra arm and left one finger malformed before he corrected the damage. He returned to the Iron Brotherhood and warned Yu Dawei and Zhang Zhi that Steam Island was a damaged manufacturing robot with many hidden weapons, forcing them to reconsider their landing plan.

• Yang Yi drank Su Na’s Proliferative Potion, which rapidly restored his Qi, Blood, and injuries.
• Yang Yi discovered that the potion had caused an extra right arm and a missing finger, then removed the deformed limb and used a spell to restore his hand.
• Yang Yi asked Cui Xiya to check his body and take a photo before steering the Long-Legged back to the Iron Brotherhood’s encampment.
• Yang Yi returned to the Iron Will and told Yu Dawei and Zhang Zhi that Steam Island had more super cannons than expected, including hidden underwater weapons.
• Yang Yi reported that Steam Island appeared to be a damaged giant robot capable of manufacturing missiles, cannons, and robots.

Yang Yi and Su Na explained why the plan to reach Steam Island underwater remained possible despite its powerful defenses. Su Na proposed using the Long-Legged’s Terminator Bow Cannon to punch through a Fear-Killing Cannon projectile and enter its barrel, while Zhang Zhi warned that the attack might be repeated.

• Yang Yi argued that Steam Island’s underwater defenses were designed to stop sea monsters and insisted the group should still break through underwater.
• Su Na took over the strategy discussion while Yang Yi left to sketch the giant robot he had seen.
• Su Na explained that the Fear-Killing Cannon fired dense metal projectiles and proposed using the Long-Legged’s Terminator Bow Cannon to bore through one and enter the cannon’s barrel.
• Su Na showed Yu Dawei and Zhang Zhi a fragment of a cannonball and explained that the Bow Cannon could make a hole wide enough for the Long-Legged to pass through.
• Zhang Zhi objected that the cannon might fire repeatedly, but Su Na showed them information indicating that it had a one-hour firing interval and needed maintenance after each shot.

Yu Dawei agreed to join a risky plan to approach Steam Island, while Yang Yi reconstructed the island’s appearance from memory. His drawing revealed a gigantic, badly damaged robot armed with numerous Fear-Killing Cannons, leaving Su Na to assess its remaining firepower and wonder what had bitten it.

• Yu Dawei agreed to send a small unit to support the plan and left Zhang Zhi in charge of the Fleet while they discussed modifying the Long-Legged.
• Yang Yi tried to remember Steam Island by reenacting how the projectile had struck his shield and sent him flying.
• After spotting an Iron Brotherhood member salvaging at sea, Yang Yi recovered his memory and drew Steam Island as a massive, damaged robot.
• Su Na examined the drawing and questioned Yang Yi about the robot’s weapons and condition.
• Yang Yi estimated that he was eighty percent certain of the drawing, and Su Na planned around twenty intact Fear-Killing Cannons while wondering what had left the bite marks.

Yang Yi waited while Su Na and the Iron Brotherhood completed the Long-Legged’s modifications, repaired his shield, and upgraded Xiaoji. He arrived at the finished Long-Legged, now transformed for combat and underwater operations, while the Mechanical Kraken had been reduced and made obedient.

• Yang Yi went fishing with Yu Dawei, caught far more fish, and moved to another spot so Yu Dawei could catch some.
• Yang Yi slept twice more without having a lucid dream and decided to focus on upgrading his ship to level 6.
• Yang Yi repaired the Heavy Giant Great Shield but postponed repairing the Sharkskin Swimsuit because it required a risky modification to the Transformation Belt.
• Su Na told Yang Yi that the Long-Legged and Xiaoji’s upgrades were complete, including Xiaoji’s chainsaw, transformation capability, sixteen Mechanical Arms, and adjustable Particle Cannon beam.
• Yang Yi swam past the reduced, obedient Mechanical Kraken and reached the fully modified Long-Legged.

Yang Yi inspected the Long-Legged after the Iron Brotherhood’s extensive modifications and renamed it the Fully Armed Long-Legged. Su Na explained the ship’s new systems and warned that Double Face might be absorbing her emotions, leaving the crew to prepare for the dangerous passage through the projectile.

• Yang Yi examined the Long-Legged’s new armor and weapons, including two Mechanical Big Swordfish Scatter Cannons, and renamed the ship the Fully Armed Long-Legged.
• Su Na emerged from the ship’s pressure chamber, and Yang Yi warned her that Double Face could be dangerous; Su Na said it had formed as her emotions flowed into the secondary personality.
• Su Na briefed Yang Yi on their roles: she would pilot the ship, while he would use his left eye to guide the Bow Cannon and manage the legs and armaments.
• Su Na explained that Zhang Zhi’s group had added extra weapons because Steam Island might have strengthened its forces and the Long-Legged needed stability in boiling water.
• Su Na gave Yang Yi the partly repaired Force Field Deflection Great Shield, which could now operate for up to five minutes.

Yang Yi prepared the Long-Legged and the Iron Brotherhood for a departure to Steam Island, while Su Na demonstrated her Summon Flesh Golem spell. The chapter ended as the dead fish began combining into humanoid creatures during her ritual.

• Yang Yi took the Long-Legged to the Iron Will and told Yu Dawei and four other fighters that they would depart at eight the next morning.
• Yang Yi accidentally spoke Fishman Language, then wrote Fishman script so Yu Dawei and the others could learn it.
• Su Na drew a ritual Magic Array on the Iron Will's deck and prepared fish and worm tentacles to summon thirty flesh golems.
• Su Na spent 68 Mana to cast Summon Flesh Golem, and the dead fish began combining into ugly humanoid creatures.

Su Na prepared Flesh Golems to serve as decoys and weapons for the Long-Legged before the Iron Brotherhood’s planned attack on Steam Island. When Steam Island unexpectedly began fighting an unknown target, Yang Yi ordered the fleet to set out early, and the group encountered floating sea-monster carcasses on the way.

• Su Na summoned thirty Flesh Golems, equipped them with Fish Weapons, and attached them to the Long-Legged to boost its firepower and speed.
• Yu Dawei and Zhang Zhi finalized plans for the next day’s attack, but Yu Dawei received word that Steam Island had started moving away from them.
• Scouts reported that Steam Island was fighting an unidentified target, and a deep-sea cannon blast shook the surrounding waters.
• Yang Yi decided to leave early, and Zhang Zhi recommended approaching through shallower water as the Iron Brotherhood’s fleet set out for Steam Island.
• Yu Dawei reported floating sea-monster carcasses along the route, and Yang Yi told his men to salvage them for Gacha.

Yang Yi and Yu Dawei’s fleet approached Steam Island, using a surface bombardment as a diversion while the Fully Armed Long-Legged advanced underwater. The Long-Legged closed to within fifteen nautical miles as Steam Island’s fire intensified and sea monsters appeared ahead.

• Yang Yi reported that the fleet was about twenty nautical miles from Steam Island while Yu Dawei’s crew examined the Long-Legged’s eerie cabin.
• The Iron Will and the rest of the main force arrived, and the Fully Armed Long-Legged dived to about two hundred meters before heading toward Steam Island.
• Yu Dawei’s surface fleet fired from a safe distance to draw Steam Island’s response, and its ships intercepted the incoming missiles and shells.
• Yang Yi dealt with scattered underwater fire while eating nearby sea monster remains, until Su Na told him to focus on their surroundings.
• When the Long-Legged came within fifteen nautical miles, unmanned vessels surged ahead as decoys, Steam Island’s bombardment intensified, and sea monsters entered Yang Yi’s view.

Yang Yi and Su Na charged the Long-Legged’s Bow Cannon and drove toward Steam Island through a barrage of torpedoes, mines, and sea monsters. As the Long-Legged closed in, Yang Yi suspected Steam Island’s extraordinary weapons production concealed a secret.

• Yang Yi ordered the Long-Legged to hold its distance while the Bow Cannon charged, and he defended the immobilized ship from incoming attacks.
• After Su Na reported the Bow Cannon ready, Xiaoji docked with its barrel, and Yang Yi ordered the Long-Legged to advance at full speed.
• Yang Yi used the Long-Range Magnetic Rail Rifle to destroy torpedoes and wound a giant octopus, but the sea monster survived.
• As the Long-Legged approached Steam Island, its weapons cleared torpedoes and mines while the minefield devastated attacking sea monsters.
• Yang Yi and Su Na observed Steam Island’s fierce defense and unusually high production capacity, and they suspected the island was hiding a secret.

The Long-Legged approached Steam Island as Yang Yi and Su Na discovered that a gigantic sea monster had seized the island and dragged it underwater. The Long-Legged was then caught by the monster’s tentacles while three Fear-Killing Cannons aimed at the vessel and its attackers.

• The Long-Legged fought off sea monsters and drew closer to Steam Island as its weapons cleared corpses and intercepted attacks.
• Yang Yi noticed Steam Island had stopped focusing on the Long-Legged, and he and Su Na decided to continue toward the island.
• Four Fear-Killing Cannons fired at an unseen target, overturning the Long-Legged and unleashing a soul-shrieking howl that damaged the crew’s Sanity and disabled two robots.
• Yang Yi realized a gigantic sea monster had grabbed Steam Island’s remaining leg, and Yu Dawei reported that the island was sinking.
• The monster’s red tentacles seized the Long-Legged and dragged it down as three Fear-Killing Cannons prepared to fire, with one aimed at the vessel.

Yang Yi and Su Na used the Fake Salt Spike and Bow Cannon to escape the sea monster and destroy the incoming shell. With the Long-Legged badly damaged but still afloat, they began moving toward the Fear-Killing Cannon barrel to carry out their plan.

• Yu Dawei sent Zhang Zhi his last words as the tentacles restrained the Long-Legged, while Su Na turned the ship's Bow Cannon toward the Fear-Killing Cannon.
• Yang Yi used the Fake Salt Spike to turn the sea monster's tentacles into salt, then signaled Su Na to fire the Bow Cannon into the incoming shell.
• The Bow Cannon pierced the shell, and the Long-Legged survived the blast with several leaks that Ancient Skeleton Arms plugged.
• Su Na prepared to dive with Cui Xiya as Xiaoji and the other robots pushed the Long-Legged toward the cannon barrel and intercepted torpedoes.
• Yang Yi used the Great Swordfish and Roaring Flintlock to clear torpedoes, then reached the top of the cannon barrel.

Yang Yi and the Iron Brotherhood advanced through the cannon barrel toward a closing door, where a robot force ambushed them. Yu Dawei disabled the attackers with his newly reliable Lightning Flying Fist, and the group hurried onward before the door shut.

• Yu Dawei led the Iron Brotherhood through the barrel while Yang Yi entered last and confirmed that its inner wall was made of ultra-high-density metal.
• Yu Dawei received a message from Zhang Zhi, and Yang Yi warned him when robots emerged from a door at the far end of the barrel.
• Yu Dawei fired his Lightning Flying Fist, destroying the attackers’ weapons and disabling the robots, including two Heavy Mechs.
• Yang Yi rejoined the group as the door began closing, and the others hurried forward before it shut.

Yang Yi and his group broke into a cannon chamber on Steam Island, where Su Na discovered that its robots concealed technology far more advanced than their crude appearance suggested. As strange machinery began operating and steam engulfed the island, the group faced an unexplained change in Steam Island’s behavior.

• Yang Yi rode a shell into the chamber door and shattered it with a charged slash, then healed his broken arm while Yu Dawei dismantled the nearby robots.
• Su Na took apart a Large Iron Man and concluded that its crude-looking design concealed technology far beyond its apparent era.
• Yang Yi entered the empty hemispherical chamber and realized its damaged door had likely jammed the mechanism that rotated the cannon’s chambers.
• Yang Yi decided to focus on taking over Steam Island rather than investigating the robots’ unusual technology.
• A deafening clang and sustained mechanical noises began, as dense white steam poured from Steam Island and shrouded it.

Steam Island awakened, reversed course, and unleashed stronger weapons against the sea monsters as Yang Yi and the others tried to break into its interior. While they cut through the island’s thick shell, a large force of unfamiliar robots arrived, forcing them to prepare for battle.

• Steam Island’s security systems grew stronger, and the island turned to hunt the sea monsters with new weapons and underwater robots.
• Yu Dawei told the group that the Iron Will and other ships were evacuating as Steam Island’s security perimeter expanded.
• Yang Yi, Yu Dawei, Su Na, and Xiaoji cut through the cannon barrel’s thick door while planning to use the Bow Cannon to blast into the ammunition chamber.
• Yang Yi spotted more than a hundred unfamiliar robots approaching, and Yu Dawei ordered Mu Ke to prepare for positional combat.
• Su Na estimated that the group could finish cutting before the Nightmare Star regained power, while Cui Xiya joined the fight with her flaming Seven-Colored Hummingbird.
• Yang Yi, Yu Dawei, and the wheeled Iron Brotherhood member moved to meet the robots at close range.

Yang Yi and his allies fought a squad of durable Deep Sea Fishers, using his fire magic to weaken most of them so their weapons could destroy them. After defeating a black-gold variant that resisted the flames, Yang Yi questioned how Steam Island produced such unusually powerful units and sent the information to Su Na.

• Miniature Missiles struck the Deep Sea Fishers but failed to damage their high-density metal shells.
• Cui Xiya's flaming bullets scorched the robots, allowing Yu Dawei's weapons to dent their weakened armor.
• Yang Yi ignited the robots with powerful fire magic, and he and his allies destroyed more than half the squad.
• Yang Yi dismantled a black-gold Deep Sea Fisher after it resisted the flames and several sword strikes.
• Yang Yi questioned the variant's superior performance, forwarded its information to Su Na, and headed toward the muzzle.

Yang Yi and his allies stopped the first robot assault with powerful weapons and a flame-enhanced whirlpool, then gathered metal parts to barricade the barrel’s door against the next wave. The Nightmare Star was still nearly twenty minutes from regaining power, leaving them to hold off further attacks.

• Cui Xiya used the Seven-Colored Hummingbird’s rainbow bullets to destroy a black-and-gold Deep Sea Fisher, though the recoil flung her and the weapon away from the battlefield.
• Yu Dawei defeated another black-and-gold Abyss Fisherman with a five-hit Superheavy Punch, while Yang Yi advanced toward the muzzle.
• Yang Yi spun the flame-enhanced Broken Iron Greatsword underwater, creating a whirlpool that ground the assembled Abyss Fishermen into fragments and stopped the first wave.
• Yang Yi learned that the Nightmare Star needed nearly twenty minutes to regain power, while the surviving robots assembled for another attack.
• Yang Yi and Yu Dawei withdrew to the barrel’s end as their allies blocked the door with gathered robot parts, and Yang Yi welded the barrier shut with Flowing Fire.

Yang Yi and the others defended themselves against the Abyss Fishermen and discussed how to defeat Steam Island by targeting its Production Line. He and Yu Dawei revealed their weapons of mass destruction, including Yu Dawei’s nuclear reactor, as the group prepared for the dangers ahead.

• Yang Yi destroyed two Abyss Fishermen, and Xiaoji reinforced a temporary wall against the remaining robots.
• Yang Yi healed Cui Xiya and helped two Iron Brotherhood members repair their mechanical bodies.
• Yang Yi warned the group that Steam Island had tens of thousands of robots and urged them to find and destroy its Production Line.
• Yang Yi showed the group his sealed white short spear and explained that it could hold off a vast number of enemies.
• Yu Dawei revealed the nuclear reactor in his chest, while Su Na inspected and documented it.
• Yu Dawei told the group that his Overload Mode greatly increased his power but could make him explode if it lasted longer than ten minutes.

Yang Yi and Yu Dawei strengthened their alliance as the Nightmare Star prepared to blast through the wall. When robots began cutting through the door, Yang Yi fired the Bow Cannon and led the group into the passage, leaving the ship’s equipment behind to protect it from destruction.

• Yu Dawei shared the dangers and benefits of Overload Mode with Yang Yi, who sent him information about the Fake Salt Spike in return.
• Xiaoji reported that the robots had stopped trying to break down the door, and Yang Yi prepared the Bow Cannon to blast through the inner wall.
• As the Bow Cannon charged, several robots began cutting into the door with thermal saw blades.
• Yang Yi fired the Bow Cannon, opening a hole in the wall, and Yu Dawei charged through first with the others following.
• Yang Yi removed the Nightmare Star’s Bow Cannon and other equipment, then entered the passage to keep the robots from destroying them.
