Behind the eyepiece.

Bruce's pupils narrowed to slits.

At this critical moment, he quickly calmed down, and with a burst of brute force, he pulled the control stick all the way down.

He then took a step forward!

Stomp hard on the steering pedals!

Bruce braked suddenly.

The dynamic fine-tuning nozzles on both sides of the fuselage violently ejected two straight streams of white vapor as the pressure valves were rapidly opened.

The terrifying thrust propelled the entire aircraft, pulling it along an extreme side track that veered off course in the torrential rain.

But it was too fast.

Human nerve reflexes alone are simply unable to detect its trajectory after it leaves the barrel.

Even Bruce, who prided himself on the pinnacle of human physical reflexes, could only barely make out a wisp of smoke.

After the incandescent white light flowed from the barrel, the intense heat generated by the plasma arrived first, blasting the nose of the aircraft.

"Sizzle--!!"

The resin-absorbing coating covering the outer layer of the cockpit was baked open and developed numerous cracks.

The polymer sealing strip along the edge of the windshield is turning black and curling up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A strong, burnt phenolic odor suddenly rushed back through the ventilation ducts.

Inside the cabin, the air-cooling system short-circuited and died instantly due to overload, and a wave of Heat Wave hit us.

The plasma exploded and then spread.

Soon, Bruce's entire field of vision was completely swallowed up by an overload of green error codes.

Dead end!

Just as the four beams of plasma beams hurtled towards the fuselage, threatening to shatter the fighter jet—

boom!!!!

Heaven and earth fell silent.

At the top of the storm-shrouded sky, the entire black cloud curtain seemed to have been smashed through by a heavenly hammer.

A terrifying, massive column of blazing white shockwave exploded out of the clouds without warning, plunging vertically from the heavens.

The immense, unstoppable kinetic energy shattered the inky black rain clouds that stretched for several kilometers.

The white moon appeared briefly high in the clouds.

Soon, the brutal sounds rang out again--

Two crimson beams, as thick as tree trunks, lashed down from the remaining clouds, carrying with them extreme killing intent.

Then, with a vertical, deadly line, it was hurled heavily onto the sturdy spine of the giant ship above the sea.

The rays suddenly tore through the atmosphere, and the surrounding free water molecules were instantly disintegrated by the high temperature of tens of thousands of degrees.

The torrential rain, pouring down relentlessly, has yet to reach the edge of the sun.

They were then completely evaporated and Oblivion.

A series of continuous explosions erupted between the sea and the sky.

Faced with these two terrifying red currents, the reconnaissance boat's seemingly stable dark red honeycomb force field was actually as fragile as a clay chicken or a tile.

"Sizzle--!"

With a piercing roar, the sound of the ship's deck being instantly pierced and vaporized overwhelmed the churning waves of the ocean.

Pull the camera down.

The deep red rays plowed down along the golden spine at the bow of the ship, piercing through the entire vessel with overwhelming force.

The outer armor, a full hundred meters long, was neatly split in two from the center, like grease being sliced open with a hot iron.

"Boom!"

At the same time, the engine inside the ship suddenly detonated with a roar.

Tens of thousands of tons of molten water and slag at tens of thousands of degrees Celsius sprayed into the sky like a volcanic eruption.

The two broken pieces of the black skeleton exploded with hundreds of electric arcs in the sky above the ocean, and billowing columns of smoke shot straight into the sky.

The entire performance ended in less than half a minute.

"Thump!!!"

Tens of thousands of tons of fractured debris, engulfed in flames, crashed heavily into the ocean abyss like an iron mountain collapsing.

Before the debris even hit the water.

Thermal expansion and the resulting overpressure shock wave formed a massive, solid wall of air that swept across an area of hundreds of meters.

Explosion!!

Visible white pressure exploded, slamming solidly onto the back of the fighter jet, instantly triggering the negative pressure sensor in the cockpit to detonate its red line.

The tens of tons of the aircraft were slammed down on it by this terrifying downward wind pressure!

"Creak--!"

The wings were compressed into an astonishing arc, constrained by enormous inertia.

The seatbelt was digging tightly into Bruce's collarbone and ribs, the terrifying torque pressing down on his cervical spine and even digging into his flesh.

The waves are surging!

At this moment, less than fifty feet remained below the boiling sea surface!

"Ughh...

Bruce gripped the joystick tightly.

The veins on his forearm were bulging and menacing.

He stubbornly resisted the recoil from the servo motor and kept the control stick firmly on the axis.

Then, taking advantage of the slight ground-hugging effect while gliding close to the sea, they forcefully straightened the descending nose of the aircraft on the crest of a wave.

"Sizzle!!!"

Water vapor and flames billowed up from under the fuselage, and the engine nozzles stirred up two white billows tens of meters long at extremely low altitude.

"Rustling sound---"

The fighter jet roared and whirred as it grazed the edge of the abyss amidst the swirling water and mist.

Amidst violent tremors.

Bruce breathed heavily through the windshield, which was covered in cracks, charred surfaces, and radiating glass patterns.

He straightened his bloodshot eyes and gazed at the sky.

Above the raging, black waves of the ocean, and above the scattered, splashing fireflies.

A figure with hands behind their back is silently suspended in the void.

I could only see through my strained vision.

The man was wearing only a plain coarse cloth shirt and a pair of work pants stained with black spots.

The raging sea wind constantly tossed his disheveled blond hair.

Deep within his dark, deep-set eyes, two embers still lingered.

In his cold eyes, the lifeless remains of those who had just plunged into the raging sea were indifferently reflected.

A calm and indifferent gaze, as if looking down at ants.

"Bang!"

A dull thud followed.

Deep within the stern of the ship, which was about to sink, an oval-shaped black compartment was violently ejected by the high pressure inside.

It suddenly disintegrated in mid-air, peeling off its outer shell to reveal a cold, golden tip.

"Buzz--"

The next second, a slender, dark beam shot out.

With a deflection angle that crosses the curvature, it pierces straight into outer space, shooting directly into the darkest depths of space.

[Coordinates locked]

[Radioactive resonance of the Codex of Life has been confirmed; the spark carrier is active.]

John was suspended in mid-air.

He lowered his eyelids slightly, watching the beam of light recede into the distance with an indifferent expression.

With his [ Insight ], he certainly knew what it was.

With just a slight flick of his wrist, he could instantly crush the golden tip into iron powder using his Bioelectric Field.

But he remained standing there, without saying a word.

It's all in vain.

From the moment this reconnaissance ship appeared over the ocean, Zod's arrival could not be contained.

Simply destroying a teleportation beacon cannot change the fact that an extraterrestrial war is about to begin.

Even if one is destroyed, Zod can still send out more scout ships... who knows?

At this moment, the two sections of the massive wreckage, each a hundred meters long, crashed heavily into the churning waves, creating a white wall tens of meters high.

Then, swept away by the surging ocean currents, they slowly sank into the dark sea.

Between the sea and the sky, only a dense, blurry downpour remained.

And the unharmed figure, hands behind his back, suspended in the sky.

"Buzz--"

The fighter jet's nozzles emitted a low hum, barely keeping the entire black fuselage suspended in mid-air a few dozen meters away.

Bruce's scrutinizing gaze shifted subtly.

Until--

His gaze met John's cold eyes.
