Chapter 1722 Without a trace

Helena gripped her bow tightly and took a deep breath. She roughly assessed the situation: there were at least fifty monsters, her weapon belt was almost empty, and her body was tense, with some parts possibly already damaged.

She didn't know the specifics of Deathstroke's condition; he possessed superhuman abilities and a powerful self-repairing capacity, so his physical condition should be relatively good. However, based on Helena's current observations, she deduced that Deathstroke's ammunition had also been completely depleted.

Another difference is that, unlike the situation on the truck roof, where Deathstroke faced multiple monsters, the number of enemies was limited. Before chasing down those on the truck, he only needed to deal with a limited number of enemies. But now, in this open space, they have to face all the enemies. Even if you are a master of martial arts, you will not escape being torn to pieces.

The black monsters crowded the hillside, advancing steadily like a black tide. Helena frowned and whispered, "I never imagined I'd die alongside someone like you."

“Likewise,” Deathstroke replied in a cold tone. “At least it shows we’re still connected. Maybe you can be my assistant in the next life.”

"..."

The black monster had approached the middle of the slope. The smaller, more agile monster had rushed forward, baring its fangs and claws, and would pounce on you in a few seconds.

At this critical moment, a blue light suddenly shot out from the sky, and the faint white mist seemed to pierce through with a spiral-shaped tear. The two charging monsters collided head-on like kites with broken strings. The light threw them behind the monster horde, causing a violent commotion.

They looked around and saw the light in the air begin to refract and distort, and a huge black shadow emerged from the thick fog. The black fuselage emerged from the cloaking, seemingly painted black, with silver-white stripes running through its entire body, and two laser cannons extending from the bottom, the light from the cannons not yet completely extinguished.

Cisco Raymond sat in the driver's seat behind the windshield, gripping the joystick with both hands, and sneered: "Ha, now I'm not afraid of your squads anymore. It's as easy as playing Resident Evil, even with the cheat code on!"

Pressing the control stick, the aircraft's altitude decreased slightly, and two beams of blue light from the laser cannon pierced the dark horde of monsters like photon knives, slicing them apart like watermelons; several monsters were cut in half at the waist.

This was just the beginning. The aircraft they were piloting was top-of-the-line in both performance and firepower, (bbfi) equipped with advanced weapons beyond conventional armament, some of which were unnecessary in ordinary combat. Cisco simultaneously activated all the cannons on the aircraft: two laser cannons, a Gatling gun, and two rocket launchers, all aimed at the horde of monsters below. The once ferocious monsters instantly became lambs to the slaughter.

"Go to hell, bastard!"

Cisco screamed and pulled the trigger, unleashing a barrage of fire upon the monsters. Light and flame engulfed the small slope, debris scattered in all directions as it burned, and the monsters' piercing screams were instantly drowned out by the hiss of the missiles. Black liquid splattered across the entire hillside, and mangled limbs littered the ground. Their sharp teeth and claws were useless against modern firepower; the scene instantly devolved into a kind of carnage.

The bombardment lasted for more than three minutes. It must be said, these monsters were incredibly resilient: many were blown in half, their heads flying off, yet they continued fighting until the laser beams reduced them to ashes. When the fire stopped, not a single black monster remained on the hillside; only a gruesome scene of severed limbs and broken bodies.

"Well done, Shockwave." Helena took off her headphones. "Very timely. I'll record it in the mission report when I get back... Is the Doctor with you?"

“Yes, he’s right behind me, he’s fine,” Cisco said. “Wait a minute, I’m right behind you…”

He paused abruptly as soon as he finished speaking, as if his attention had been drawn to something else. Helena noticed this subtle change and asked, "Are you alright, Shockwave?"

"No... Could it be that the aircraft's sensors detected something below us...?"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the ground suddenly split open, and a gaping maw emerged, baring its sharp fangs at the fighter jet in the air. Cisco was taken aback and quickly increased altitude: pale blue flames shot vertically from the bottom of the fighter jet, pushing the fuselage to its limit. Thanks to its superior technical characteristics, the aircraft barely managed to escape from the giant's jaws.

"Damn it!" Cisco yelled. "What the hell is that? Is there really a boss battle like in Resident Evil?"

Cortland Island began to shake violently, and the cracks in the ground started to widen rapidly. Suddenly, a colossal creature emerged from the ground. It was entirely black, as if covered in scales, and its size was terrifying. It lay on all fours, raised its head high, and roared with a deafening roar that seemed to shake the entire island.

This monster was over thirty meters tall and weighed ten thousand tons, the size of some kind of reptile. With each step it took, the ground trembled, as if it might collapse under its weight at any moment. Cisco sat in the cockpit of the plane, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

"Damn it, whoever you are," he gritted his teeth and spun the plane around in a circle, "I refuse to believe I can't kill you!"

Two missiles shot out, exploding one after another on the monster's black scales. Laser light flashed as the plane plummeted, crashing into the enemy's back. In the instant of the explosion, the plane soared to its maximum altitude, narrowly avoiding colliding with the fireball spewed from the monster's back.

But this time it wasn't as easy as before. The dragon had slaughtered a group of lone soldiers. Missiles and laser beams couldn't penetrate the enemy's tough scales, only enraging the monster. The dragon turned, opened its massive jaws, and a glowing fireball erupted from the depths of its black throat, hurtling into the air after the fighter jet. Cisco swerved, avoiding a collision, but the fireball destroyed the cannon barrel below. The black fighter jet circled in the air, a long plume of black smoke trailing from its tail.

The dragon did not stop. It turned around, opened its massive jaws again, and scorching flames illuminated its dark, gaping mouth and throat once more. Red-hot flames spewed from the corners of its mouth, as if it were preparing to launch an even more ferocious attack.

But he didn't unleash the fireball. A streak of incredible speed shot out from the distant horizon, the wind pressure slicing through the sea like blades, spray crashing against the shores of Cortland Island. Red and blue figures surged onto the battlefield in the blink of an eye, before anyone could even react, like an intercontinental ballistic missile striking the fiery maw of a dragon.

The flames died down, and the monster, over thirty meters tall, let out a mournful cry. Its body was sent flying into the air by an even more overwhelming force. Upon landing, its body crushed most of the forest, raising clouds of dust that reached over ten meters high.

The guy in red finally arrived.

Chapter 1723 Island

Xu Fu burst through the thick smoke and landed beside Helena and Deathstroke. Of course, he glanced at the latter with some surprise, then said to Helena half-jokingly, "Aren't all your missions this exciting? I always seem to find you in these scenes that look like horror disaster movies."

“Who knows?” Helena shrugged, then smiled as if joking, “Maybe someone is just paying special attention to me.”

Xu Fu coughed slightly: "Absolutely not. I was in Petawa recently, where there was a small earthquake... Oh, by the way, thank you for the plane. I really didn't expect you to be able to get this kind of thing so quickly..."

"Oh, this?" Helena didn't seem to care. "It's okay, but the performance is a bit outdated. If you like it, I'll give it to you."

Xu Fu waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, I dare not accept something so valuable..." At the same time, he secretly thought to himself, "It's good to be rich. Such a luxurious toy is given to you as a gift, and you treat it like something you're tired of wearing."

“So you’re the new Boy Scout,” Deathstroke said coldly, then chuckled softly. “Nice to meet you.”

Arrogance. Xu Fu was about to grin back when the little monster behind him slowly stood up, shook its head in confusion, and looked around blankly. Xu Fu turned around, pointed helplessly behind him, and said, "Really? A black dinosaur? Where did you get this thing from?"

“We’re still figuring it out,” Helena said. “A mad cult, a black monster summoned through a well spewing black smoke—this island is madness beyond your imagination.”

“I have my doubts.” Xu Fu turned and flew upwards, muttering to himself, “You guys go on the plane, keep your distance, and be careful not to get a little stiff from the wind after a few minutes.”

The dragon, with its limited intelligence, seemed to realize that the little blue dot before it was the one who had just hurt it. Perhaps because the dot was too small, it couldn't understand what had just happened, and it was also extremely angry. It let out a contemptuous, angry roar, and flames like crimson lotuses gathered in its massive maw, transforming into intense jets of heat that shot directly at the unconscious little one.

Xu Fu neither dodged nor avoided the flames, rushing straight towards them. The intense heat wave instantly engulfed him, his cloak billowing forward, drifting towards the direction of the heat current, but he only paused for half a second before accelerating again, flying towards the pillar of fire.

Xu Fu punched the dragon's gaping maw, and a scorching pillar of fire snapped off from its base. The behemoth seemed unaware of what had happened: its eyes widened in terror as it received another heavy blow to the head.

The dragon was struck lightly, staggering back two steps, but Xu Fu nimbly moved to its lower jaw. He gripped it with five fingers, piercing through its hard black scales with astonishing force, digging into the flesh of its chin, causing the dragon to hiss and howl in pain. Then, with a sharp shriek, he used his arms to lift the over thirty-meter-long reptile high into the air, bringing it to the ground with unparalleled momentum.

Xu Fu wasn't exaggerating; the storm it stirred up was indeed extraordinary. It was the weight of a massive object weighing tens of thousands of tons, crashing to the ground in the blink of an eye with a crushing roar. Dust from the shockwave enveloped vast swathes of trees, uprooting them and rushing towards the shore at astonishing speed. The waves along the coast were whipped up, trembling angrily. In an instant, cracks spread around the island, its foundations shook violently, and the small island seemed on the verge of disintegrating.

Upon landing, the enormous creature only twitched symbolically, rolled over once, and then stopped resisting, lying motionless on the ground.

With the dust settled, Xu Fu clapped his hands: "Problem solved."

As the black fighter jet broke through the dust cloud, Cisco looked out the cockpit windshield at the subdued dragon and couldn't help but applaud enthusiastically: "My God, did you all see that? It's amazing!"

“Yes, yes, look,” Helena looked helplessly into the sky, “but could you please stop for a moment to cheer for your idol and then come down and catch me?”

"Ah, I'm sorry, I just... Hmm?"

Cisco seemed to notice something else, shifting his gaze to the electronic display screen next to the control stick, and asked, "The aircraft's sensors indicate that the threat hasn't been eliminated yet. Judging from the readings, there's something... Be careful!"

Before he could even shout "Watch out!", the long tentacles pierced the ground like whips, sweeping straight towards Xu Fu, who was floating in the air. Its speed was astonishing, and Xu Fu didn't even have time to react: his entire body was violently flung around like a bullet fired at an angle, crashing heavily into a small hill half a mile away, completely collapsing the hill.

Xu Fu picked up the shards that had been pressing down on him. He looked a bit dusty and dirty, but overall he was unharmed. However, the moment the tentacles pierced his body, he felt pain. Anything that could cause him pain was usually not to be underestimated.

Soon, the owner of the tentacles surfaced—truly surfaced. The sea level above Cortren Island rose like a mountain, tons of seawater surged upwards, and scalding hot water splashed onto the surface.

Finally, it surfaced. Its sheer size was indescribable: miles of it rose above the water, while much of it seemed to remain submerged. The foundations of the coastal section of Cortland Island were severely compressed, the already ravaged land torn to shreds, making way for the shadow cast from the depths of the sea. The dark silhouette projected onto the azure surface stretched for over twenty miles, completely invisible to the naked eye.

When it finally surfaced and rose into the air, the astonishment of the crowd reached unprecedented heights. The oval-shaped silhouette of the ship seemed to blot out the entire sky with its enormous body. Cortland Island, only ten miles in diameter, was completely covered by the massive black shadow, while the island itself was less than half its size. It was like a floating island, seemingly alive. It was surrounded by giant tentacles hundreds and thousands of feet long, with huge, dark cavities below and on both sides, like endless abysses.

· ·Requesting flowers····· ·······

“…Guys,” Cisco muttered, “you…see this?”

“Yeah, we’re not blind.” Helena noticed that her voice sounded a little off; clearly, even for her, this wasn’t something that happened every day.

“No, I mean…” Cisco felt his throat go dry, “…this thing’s life count is several times higher than the entire island of Cortland combined.”

Xu Fu felt a chill run down his spine, and he held his breath. Unlike the others, his superhuman vision allowed him to discern the details on the surface of the floating island. Countless black monsters crawled out one after another from the holes in the island's surface, writhing with grotesque bodies. Some resembled humans, some snakes and horses, and others had wings, looking like variants of dinosaurs. Their sizes also varied, some as small as a child, while others were as large as the dragon Xu Fu had previously defeated.

0 .... ....

His first thought was "the end times in the Bible".

The monster continued to move. It's no exaggeration to say that its massive body leisurely advanced towards Cortland Island until it set its sights on a black abyss directly below. Then, the void suddenly opened up as if springing back, unleashing an immense suction force. Trees were uprooted, and houses, the soil and rocks that made up the land—virtually everything of matter—were ripped from the ground and sucked into the bottomless black hole.

Although Cisco's fighter jet was the best in the world, it still had no chance to avoid such overwhelming force. The Huntress was also pulled to the ground, but she reacted quickly, raised her crossbow and fired a barbed wire blast at the ground, barely keeping her body in the air. She instinctively reached out and grabbed Deathstroke as it passed by her.

Xu Fu stood up, his figure moving with the incredible speed of a tree stump as he traversed the gravity field. He used one hand to snap the Helena in half and send it flying outwards, while his other hand pressed down on the tail of the Cisco aircraft, causing several planes to quickly leave the gravity zone.

But the rest of the island wasn't so lucky. In just a few moments, the entire island of Cortland crumbled under the immense gravitational pull, disintegrating into soil, rocks, vegetation, and other constituent elements. If the giant creature floating in the air were a living being, it must have had an indiscriminate diet: everything that made up the entire island, along with the stranded residents and tourists, was swallowed whole, leaving not a trace.

In an instant, Cortland Island was completely swallowed up, leaving nothing but barren land.

Xu Fu's expression was as grim as the enemy's. He threw the two people he was holding into the plane and said to them, "Get out of here as soon as possible, the farther the better."

Before they could even notice him, Xu Fu took to the air and flew at full speed toward the enormous island.

Chapter 1724 Extreme Weapons

A golden beam of light pierced through the dim air above the sea, like a spear thrown with force. The blue figure was enveloped in golden light, like a meteorite falling onto the sea and exploding in the seamless blend of water and sky.

The seawater churned a few times, but quickly calmed down, though this calm lasted less than a minute. Without warning, a column of water shot into the sky from the waves, and Xu Fu emerged from the sea, soaked to the bone, his bangs plastered to his forehead, water splashing everywhere beneath his drenched cloak.

Just now, he was launched from a groove on the side of the massive floating island with a radius of twenty-five miles, and a burst of golden energy instantly engulfed him. Then, a moment later, he reappeared, having flown dozens of miles from the point of impact.

Its power is indeed terrifying. Just thinking about this floating island conjures up all sorts of strange images in Xu Fu's mind: black monsters covering the entire island, terrifyingly powerful biological cannons, and a gravity force capable of instantly disintegrating and devouring the entire Cortland Island—it's practically a biological aircraft carrier magnified countless times. The deformed creatures on the island are his soldiers and warriors, and the vast black void is his powerful primary weapon.

If it really is an aircraft carrier, then it must be a perfect biological weapon capable of destroying anything on the sea surface, and probably no existing human army or weapon can compare to it.

Worse still, it now appears to be heading towards land, and at such an astonishing speed. Judging from its direction of travel, Russia should be the first country to encounter this super-spaceship.

Xu Fu took a deep breath, caught his breath, and then ran off again, leaving a long shadow behind him as he chased the monster. In a very short instant, he exceeded the speed of sound, creating white waves on the sea below.

Right now, it's within Russian territorial waters.

"An unidentified flying object has been spotted 80 nautical miles ahead. Warn it by radio to land at the designated airport for inspection. If it refuses to cooperate, authorization is granted to open fire directly."

"accept"

The Russian-made heavy destroyer broke through the azure waters and sailed steadily forward. Its hull is remarkably robust compared to other ships of its kind in the world, and almost every line exudes the rugged and bold character of Russian military industry. This was originally a routine patrol in the nearby territorial waters, but after reports of unidentified flying objects came from headquarters, the destroyer closest to the area was naturally dispatched there.

Numerous air-to-air missiles on the battleship were aimed at the direction the enemy was expected to appear. This ship is the latest model to enter service with the Russian Navy this year, and its firepower is sufficient to strike air, land, and underwater targets.

"Captain, radar has detected a target. The enemy is approaching rapidly, but... but the size cannot be determined."

"Unable to confirm?" The captain frowned. This was the first time he had heard such a report since he joined the army. "How is this possible..."
