Chapter 611: Boom!!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A horde of autonomous robots had installed hundreds of anti-gravity devices in all corners of the black battleship, and ready to lift it out of the water. The battleship was much smaller than the space fortress that they had hauled back from Y'zaks' hometown earlier. It had many protruding structures which were suitable for pendant installation. So the installation process of anti-gravity devices was completed very quickly. Then sporadic light dots began to light up on the surface of the black battleship as it left the bottom of the sea.

The Petrachelys lifted the behemoth up. They picked up speed as they rose. The small spaceship with only a few hundred meters in length hauling a metal monster of more than ten kilometers long looked a little weird, but the whole process was actually not difficult: the anti-gravity devices were doing all the heavy lifting, the tug vessel was just guiding the direction.

The black battleship left the seabed and quickly rose toward the surface. Meanwhile, Hao Ren and Y'zaks had already arrived on the other side of the Evadurant city ruins in an engineering ship. They joined Shaqira and Sorma on the way and found the location of the siren queen by tracing her radio signal.

The engineering ship emitted a blue light as it anchored in the seawater. The sea surface was wavy and having a very strong energy field disturbance. Clearly, they were near to the most distorted spot in the world. Hao Ren got out of the ship and looked around. The shadow of the maelstrom was not far ahead. Though it was just a shadow, its presence was hard to ignore.

But there was no trace of the siren queen nearby.

Hao Ren got nervous and quickly called out in the radio.

"Katreina, we are here, where are you?

"

"I see you.

" A slightly dull voice was heard over the radio.

"I'm standing on your left. Do you see the big rock? I'm right behind it. There was a strong current here just now, so I hid.

"

Turning his head around, Hao Ren was shocked: not far away behind a rock, there was a mantis shrimp as big as a tank clinging on the rock and waving its claw in the air as if saying it was Katreina!

Hao Ren smacked himself on the forehead.

"My queen, would you please formshirt back to normal?

"

Waving its claw and after a moment of lapping in the water, the mantis shrimp had transformed back into a beautiful girl. But, the picture of a mantis shrimp still lingered in the minds of Hao Ren and Y'zaks. She swam voluptuously up to them. Looking at the strange engineering ship, she asked in amazement,

"Hey... you have such a strange thing! Is this a carrier-based spacecraft?

"

Hao Ren squinted at the siren queen.

"I'm curious, how do you develop your aesthetics? Don't you feel that those forms would affect your image?

"

The siren queen shrugged.

"There is no man around us, so everyone just simply grow.

"

Hao Ren was speechless.

In the mind of the sirens, beautiful girl and mantis shrimp had really no difference.

As the least qualified person to talk about looks at the scene, Y'zaks could not care less. His brows knit together looking at the huge portal.

"The situation around this maelstrom is even more unstable than Nasaton. The water flow and energy here are turbulent. But shoudn't the energy levels at both ends of the portal the same?

"

"They are the same, but tolerance of the two worlds can be inconsistent,

" said Hao Ren while fiddling with the silver-white cube bomb, setting the detonation level and remote control program.

"Now you see? The Plane of Dreams is more fragile than the surface world. I heard Raven 12345 said that this universe is not that 'healthy', its laws are not perfect. The reaction here is stronger than in the surface world after problem developed in the Wall of Reality.

"

There was a slight humming sound in the bomb as the detonation procedure was set.

Hao Ren patted the casing of the bomb and said,

"We don't have to worry about the complicated principles. We just need to blow up this place. Let's go!

"

The surface of the cube bomb was flowing with a stream of light. As its alloy shield opened, it revealed the flashing blue charging tube isnide. Then the entire bomb was detached from the engineering ship and slowly drifted towards the center of the maelstrom. The surrounding water was turbulent, but this did not affect the stability of the bomb movement. As a 'home cleaner' with 'accurate destaining and spot cleaning' as its selling points, this stuff came with three sets of stabilizers, there was no worry that the current would wash it away.

However, Hao Ren still felt that something must be wrong with the operating manual of this bomb.

After the bomb was anchored in the center of the maelstrom and ready signal was received, Hao Ren brought Y'zaks back to the engineering ship while telling the three sirens.

"Everyone, take cover! When the maelstrom collapses, it would create a bit of torrent!

"

The three sirens immediately swam over and wrapped their tails around the metal bracket at the rear of the engineering ship. Shaqira waved her hand and said,

"We've ready, let's go!

"

That way would save them a lot of hassle.

The engineering ship quickly moved out with three sirens dangling from behind. It only stoppped after going several kilometers. Though according to the MDT's calculation, most of the energy from the explosion would be absorbed by the maelstrom itself, but it was far from safe. Keeping a distance was necessary. After hiding behind an old city wall, Hao Ren was connected to Nasaton through the radio while keeping an eye on the maelstrom.

"Vanaessa, Vanaessa. Hao Ren's calling the siren general…

"

There was a burst of interference in the radio and then Vanaessa's voice came through.

"Roger. Is the detonation countdown completed?

"

"The bomb here is already installed,

" Hao Ren said as he looked up at the siren queen.

"Your Queen is watching. What is your situation? Is the reading within the threshold?

"

Before leaving, Hao Ren had given sirens who stayed back in Nasaton a series of readings to be tested to ensure that maelstrom portal could be safely blown up. At this time, Vanaessa had gotten confirmation from the technicians beside her.

"Everything is normal. You can detonate at any time.

"

"Roger. Bring your people retreating into the city. I will remotely detonate the two bombs in ten minutes. I wish everything goes well.

"

Soon after, the MDT also called in from space.

"Boss, we're ready here too. The sample has been docked in the synchronous orbit.

"

"Roger,

" replied Hao Ren. Checking the time, he nodded to Shaqira and two others.

"Be prepared…Detonate immediately!

"

The three sirens tied their tails together and nodding their heads to indicate that they were already tied together: their way of doing thing was full of siren uniqueness.

Hao Ren counted down from ten in his mind and pressed the detonation button.

Y'zaks looked into the distance and saw a sudden burst of light in the center of the maelstrom, as if a starlight in the night sky. In the next second, the light suddenly burst into a huge ball of light. The maelstrom was violently torn apart by the huge light ball, and then began to implode, as if a black hole devouring everything, and also as if the shrinking galaxy. The entire maelstrom shrank into a vague sphere in just a few seconds, and finally burst.

After a while, a loud noise and a strong torrent of water reached the place where everyone was hiding.

The three sirens opened an enchantment to shield everyone from the impact of the torrent. Gravel of the deep sea and building wreckage swept past the enchantment like leaves in the wind. it took half a minutes for it to subside, and after everything quieted down, there was only a stream of muddy water wandering around.

The maelstrom in the distance had disappeared.

"I knew that keeping a distance this far was the smartest choice,

" Hao Ren said.

"Looks like it's done. It's easier than expected.

"

Soon, Vanaessa had sent in the news. The portal over Nasaton had disappeared, and according to instrument test, the mutual interference between the two worlds was rapidly disappearing.

"Phew... everything went as planned,

" the siren queen exhaled and spurted out a string of bubbles. But she suddenly frowned.

"Wait a minute... Why is the current getting stronger and stronger?

"

The turbid water flowing around them had not disappeared. Instead, it became much stronge. At the same time, Hao Ren felt a strange chill in the water. The chill gathered from all directions as if consciously. In the chill, he seemed to have heard a scream of anger and hostility.

In that short tenth of a second, countless inexplicable footages flashed across his mind.

A strong sense of crisis began to sink in.
