The distance of ten kilometers should be visible soon, right?
"Issue a tsunami warning."
"Yes! Issue a tsunami warning!"
The order was passed down, and soon the tsunami alarm was sounded on the Tokyo Tower. The residents of the entire Tokyo area immediately took action, rushing to the rooftops of sturdy buildings or high ground. They were very familiar with this kind of warning and practiced it regularly.
Less than five minutes after the tsunami warning was issued, there was a noticeable change in the sea.
The originally relatively calm sea suddenly began to recede rapidly, like a tide going out. But those who had experienced a tsunami knew that this was not a receding tide, but that a big guy was about to come.
Sure enough, a huge "hill" appeared on the distant sea surface. It was a sea surface that looked completely bulging.
Obviously, there was a huge fellow under that huge bulge, pushing the sea forward, which is why this situation occurred.
"To think its size is worthy of being called a 1900-meter behemoth."
Wang Xiaoming couldn't help but sigh as he watched the huge "hill" in his field of vision constantly growing larger.
To be honest, this thing was even bigger than he was when he transformed into Nidhogg. However, although it was huge, it was useless to Nidhogg and could be sprayed to death in one breath.
But now, they had to first figure out how to deal with the upcoming tsunami!
The huge hill of accumulated seawater rushed towards the coastline. They had to stop it, because Tokyo's flood control dikes couldn't stop such an impact.
"Defense!"
The flood control dikes were indeed not enough, but there were Void Genome soldiers!
Ouma Shu's defense was to absorb everything, including energy and attacks. Although it was powerful, the area was generally small. But among the Void Genome soldiers, some could directly perform range defense.
With the coordinated efforts of the defending Void Genome soldiers, a wall of light appeared on the coastline, forcibly encompassing the entire coastline of the base.
The huge amount of seawater crashed against the wall of light, and the instantaneous impact made the people standing behind the wall of light couldn't help but take a step back in fear that the wall of light would be shattered.
The instantaneous impact force was completely enough to directly kill a person.
The massive amount of seawater was blocked by the wall of light and could not rush ashore, so it could only be diverted to both sides. As a result, the coastline around the base suffered. The massive amount of seawater was diverted to both sides and instantly entered the Tokyo city area, submerging large areas. The cars on the street were all washed away and rolled around, constantly colliding, like bumper cars.
"Ugh ~ ~ ~"
While everyone was nervously watching the tsunami split to both sides, a muffled roar suddenly came from the sea.
A huge black object slowly emerged from under the sea.
It had incredibly ferocious-looking horns, and not just one, but many! It looked like a hedgehog.
These countless horns slowly emerged from the sea, piercing the sky. The LV5 monster was about to come out!
727. The Final Battle Begins
"Commander, the missiles have locked onto the target."
"Then launch!"
"Yes, launch!"
"Launch all the prepared missiles, don't hold back!"
"Number 3 vertical launch silo launching, Number 7 vertical launch silo launching, Number 15 launch silo launching, Number 21 launch silo launching!"
On the destroyer in the Pacific Ocean, missile launch commands were being pressed one by one. In the vertical launch units in front of the destroyer, Tomahawk missiles were launched one after another. After rising into the air, they lit up the dark sky like flares, and then flew towards Tokyo Bay. One missile after another formed a continuous trajectory of missiles in the sky.
Not only that, but these missiles were not only launched by one destroyer. All the destroyers in the fleet were constantly launching missiles. Normally, it would take a considerable amount of time to prepare to launch a single Tomahawk cruise missile, but now they were being launched directly in batches, like rockets, creating a barrage in the night sky.
And behind this barrage, there were several squadrons of carrier-based aircraft, also carrying various missiles, flying towards Tokyo Bay.
On the sea surface of Tokyo Bay, a huge black object was slowly rising. The countless black spikes looked like a giant hedgehog before, but now they looked more like a giant sea urchin, a sea urchin head with many spikes.
This made Wang Xiaoming a little confused. He injected octopus genes, so how did it become a sea urchin? Could it be that the Gastrea virus he mixed in the beginning contained sea urchin genes?
He mixed too many genes at the time, and Wang Xiaoming had forgotten what was mixed in.
The huge black body was still rising continuously. After the spiked part passed, it became a pure black body. It could be seen that the pure black body was soft and full of flesh, but these black bodies suddenly began to crack after coming out of the water, and soon they cracked directly and turned into scale-like things covering the outside.
Good fellow, it was putting on armor right in front of you.
This made Wang Xiaoming happily applaud. The higher the strength, the better, the higher the strength, the better to force these Void Genome soldiers to exert their strongest power.
The huge body was constantly emerging from the sea, and soon the area that emerged from the sea exceeded one hundred meters, like a mountain on the sea, and it was still rising continuously.
After the height exceeded 100 meters, the barrage of Tomahawk cruise missiles in the distant sky arrived.
The rows and rows of cruise missiles, dragging long tails of flame, fell from the sky and smashed directly into the huge monster that was still rising below.
Boom boom boom — —
The missiles crashed into the monster's body, and violent explosions continued to occur. The air was vibrated by the explosions to produce one shock wave after another, but under the impact of these shock waves, the huge body did not even shake a bit, and seemed to be useless.
"Is it really useless at all?"
The ordinary soldiers couldn't help but sigh helplessly as they watched the monster's unshakeable body.
"Sure enough, only the Void Genome can defeat the Void."
"Don't be discouraged. Although it looks useless, it still has some effect. Look at those spikes!"
Under Wang Xiaoming's reminder, everyone looked at the black spikes. The originally dense spikes had actually been blown off a part by this round of bombardment. Although the area was not large, a part was really blown off. Obviously, those spikes were blown off by the cruise missiles.
This shows that technological weapons are still useful.
But soon, the broken spikes actually grew out again from below, as if they had grown out, directly growing out again.
"This ...."
"Attack, although it has self-healing ability, as long as we keep attacking, its self-healing ability cannot be faster than our attack."
In short, grind down as much blood as possible. They thought the same way when fighting the LV4 monster before, but at that time, not many troops were dispatched. The main force was the Ultimate Roar Squad on the ground, using large-caliber rifles and missiles on the Ultimate Roar to attack.
Now the firepower is sufficient, and a comprehensive firepower strike can be carried out. Although it is more expensive, now is not the time to talk about whether it is expensive or not. Just hit it directly, and after spending so much, just ask Japan for it.
On the coastline, tanks and rocket launchers also immediately began to attack. Shells and missiles flew towards the monster's body without hesitation, constantly detonating on its surface.
The black scales on the monster's surface constantly endured the impact of the explosions, and some of the scales were even shattered, but after being shattered, new scales were immediately generated. Others could not see it, but Wang Xiaoming could see it clearly. Because he could see it very clearly, Wang Xiaoming was satisfied with the monster's self-healing ability.
Under such a barrage of artillery fire, the huge monster continued to rise, continued to rise, until finally, the huge body was completely revealed from the sea.
It was a giant octopus, with what looked like a black sea urchin on its head. The huge body could be clearly seen to be an octopus, but unlike those octopuses that needed to lie on the ground and move with their tentacles, this giant octopus actually used its thick tentacles to support its body, forcibly supporting its body to stand up.
The octopus stood on the earth!
Because of the Gastrea virus modification, it had far more than eight tentacles, many, many countless tentacles, but among these tentacles, the most important were the eight thick tentacles in the center. Those thick tentacles supported its body like legs, while the other tentacles were completely suspended and opened, and then twisted randomly, like a chaotic dance of demons.
This colossal monster, now standing, was at least 500 meters tall, with tentacles stretching out for at least another thousand meters. It looked utterly terrifying. The entire Tokyo Bay seemed to be under the shadow of the monster's tentacles, which were woven into a massive net.
"Alright, it seems the military's firepower is useless. We'll have to rely on ourselves from here on out."
The Void Genome soldiers watched the whole process of the military's futile efforts against the giant monster and prepared for battle.
Jiang Shenya didn't speak, but summoned his bow, nocked an arrow, and began to charge it with power.
Bright light gathered in his palm, transforming into an arrow of light. After charging for a full five seconds, he released the arrow.
The arrow of light struck the monster directly, piercing its scales and completely penetrating its body.
The final battle officially began.
728. Does Japan Really Like High Schoolers Saving the World?
Lightning struck down from the sky, directly hitting the monster's body, cracking some of the black scales and charring the flesh beneath.
But quickly, the charred flesh hardened again, turning into new scales. With such powerful regenerative abilities, it could do whatever it wanted.
The Void Genome soldier who released the lightning couldn't help but want to curse, but he held back. Before the battle started, they had already mentally prepared for this. A hard fight was expected, but not this hard!
Suppressing his complaints, the Void Genome soldier raised his fist and released lightning again. A bolt of lightning burst from his hammer, striking the monster's scales and scraping away again.
Many others were also 'scraping'. The abilities of these Void Genome soldiers varied, but none possessed decisive destructive power or functionality. Correspondingly, those with decisive destructive power were naturally Ouma Shu and the others.
Ouma Shu's all-encompassing and absorbing heart, Jiang Shenya's all-penetrating conviction, Inori Yuzuriha's all-severing focus—these were the talents they possessed as Adam and Eve.
Thus, as the battle progressed, the three of them gradually began to stand at the forefront.
"Those guys, I remember they're from the research department, right?"
The soldiers were quite surprised to see Ouma Shu and the others rushing to the front. In their eyes, these three were just kids. Compared to them, who had seen many big scenes in the military and had countless lives on their hands, these three were simply inexperienced.
But now, these three inexperienced kids were rushing to the front, which surprised them greatly. Even though they had heard that Ouma Shu and the others had dealt with the LV4 monster that appeared in Tokyo, they didn't believe they had done it on their own, because Wang Xiaoming was stationed in Tokyo.
These Void Genome soldiers fully understood Wang Xiaoming's power. He possessed the power to defeat all of them single-handedly. After all, they had become super soldiers after obtaining the power of the Void Genome, especially since they were pro-freedom Americans. 'I'm a superpowered soldier, how can I be restricted by you?' So, Wang Xiaoming appropriately demonstrated his power, which was why these Void Genome soldiers were so obedient.
They had experienced Wang Xiaoming's strength firsthand, but now, these three little kids were actually more powerful than them, which was a bit embarrassing.
"I'm saying, are we really going to watch a few little brats save the world?"
"Haha, this is Japan. I heard that Japanese people like high school students saving the world."
"What? Japanese people have this preference?"
"Who knows? Anyway, that's what I heard. Japanese high school students can do anything. They can fight, understand economics, and even become president. I heard there's even something called the 'Strongest High School Student Ranking' in Japan."
"What a magical country."
They hadn't been in Japan before, following Lieutenant General Huddon to Japan, then becoming Void Genome soldiers, and then chasing after Gastrea all over the world, so they really didn't know much about Japan. They heard some unreliable news from some channel and developed a strange misunderstanding about Japan.
However, if Wang Xiaoming heard this misunderstanding, he would definitely say, 'No, you're not mistaken! That's exactly what Japan is like!'
"Regardless of whether this country is magical or not, we can't let three little brats steal the show."
"Oh? So you're going to rush up there?"
"Of course not. There are already people rushing up there. Before they retreat, I can just cheer them on from behind."
"That's right, haha!"
These Void Genome soldiers wouldn't get excited and want to rush up and join those high school students just because they were at the front. They were soldiers, yes, but not brainless soldiers who would throw their lives away. If the mission encountered danger, their first choice would definitely be to retreat or seek support, rather than relying on themselves alone to resolve the crisis, unless there was absolutely no other way, would they consider risking their lives and fighting to the death.
So, as Ouma Shu and the others rushed to the front, none of the Void Genome soldiers rushed up, but instead, they wandered around the periphery.
It's not like they weren't doing anything at all; they were still constantly attacking. The 'scraping' damage was low, but it was still damage!
Wang Xiaoming couldn't help but smile as he watched the actions of these American soldiers.
They were rejoicing too early. They would soon realize that even staying on the periphery was useless.
In the center of the battlefield, Inori Yuzuriha, wielding her Void Genome greatsword, gradually approached the monster's torso under Ouma Shu's protection.
Along the way, they didn't have to worry about not having a place to stand on the sea, because the giant tentacles supporting the monster's body were like bridges floating on the water, perfectly paving the way to the monster's main torso.
The three of them directly followed the tentacles supporting the monster's body and rushed to the vicinity of the main torso, then began to output damage to the main torso.
The monster's body was too huge. The part above the water was 500 meters tall, looking like it was directly piercing the sky. If they wanted to output damage to the monster's head, they either had to climb up themselves, or knock the monster down. Obviously, climbing to a height of 500 meters was too unlikely for them. If they wanted to get through those tentacles woven into a net in the air, they would have to cut them all down first.
Obviously, they didn't want to cut the tentacles; they chose to cut the legs directly, just like when dealing with cavalry, if you can't cut the heavily armored cavalry on horseback, then cut the horse's legs!
"Inori, it's up to you!"
Ouma Shu looked at the thick tentacles in front of him, as thick as skyscrapers, and spoke to Inori in front.
"Yes, Shu's orders, I will do my best to complete them."
Inori agreed without hesitation, causing Jiang Shenya next to her to feel a headache. That sentence gave him a bit of PTSD. That sentence was what caused him to turn dark before. He hadn't forgotten that sentence during this time, and now it was back!
Under Jiang Shenya's speechless gaze, Inori directly swung the Void Genome greatsword in her hand and slashed at the monster's supporting tentacle.
The white light sword directly struck the monster's tentacle, instantly cutting a huge wound in the monster's tentacle.
┗|`O′|┛ AWOOO~~
The giant monster finally made a sound. The previously silent situation, ignoring the output of the Void Genome soldiers, this damage instantly caused the monster to finally react.
729. Then the High Schoolers Just Gave Up
The Void Genome greatsword, capable of cutting through everything, directly cut half of the giant monster's tentacle.
But this half didn't completely cut off the monster's tentacle, because the monster's body was very hard, making it impossible for her Void Genome greatsword to cut through it completely.
But cutting off half of it also caused the monster to howl in pain. Green blood spurted out of the huge wound.
But this green blood that spurted out didn't last long before it stopped directly, because the powerful self-healing ability forcibly restored this tens of meters long wound quickly.
And at the same time as the wound was recovering, the monster's body also took action. Those tentacles waving in the sky twisted one by one and pounced towards the three of them, looking very terrifying.
