104: Chapter 104 Destroying Eden

RUMBLE—!!!

There was no deafening roar of gunpowder, nor were there any metal shards flying through the air.

This was a super electromagnetic pulse bomb, capable of forcibly blasting a modern super-metropolis with a population of ten million back to the Stone Age in a single second!

At an extremely close range of only a few dozen meters from the abyss roarer...

It was like a silent yet lethal high-dimensional tsunami.

It erupted violently!!!

HUMMM—!!!

A visible ripple of eerie, distorted, ghost-blue electromagnetic storm waves emanated.

Centering on that bomb, it possessed an absolute penetrative force that defied all logic of physical defensive armor.

In an instant, it swept through the gates of the entire Inner City of God Domain and the abyss roarer, which had just halfway entered!

The moment it came into contact with this terrifying electromagnetic storm!

Inside the second-floor panoramic living area of the abyss roarer...

The holographic projection of Ling Yi, which had been flawless and even capable of displaying human-like arrogance just moments ago...

It was as if an invisible pair of scissors had ruthlessly snipped all her power-supplying nerves.

She didn't even have time to let out the shortest scream.

Her beautiful elder-sister-style body simply went "bang," exploding into a cloud of microscopic data fragments that smelled of scorched air, before completely vanishing into the atmosphere within a second!

"Ling Yi?!"

Ye Qingyu, who was operating a miniature detector, let out a scream of terror.

The instrument in front of her, along with all the luxury appliances, lighting, and even the miniature constant-temperature air conditioners used to maintain the temperature—all built with cutting-edge technology from the Old Era—

All of them, with a sharp "crack" of a short circuit...

Emitted plumes of thick black smoke and instantly turned into a pile of scrap metal reeking of a pungent burnt smell!

The entire spacious carriage, which had been as bright as day...

At this moment...

Fell into a deathly, absolute darkness and silence!

However...

For Su Chen and his train no. 0099, this was only the beginning of the disaster!

Buzz... Creak, creak!!!

The body of the abyss roarer, which had been as steady as if on level ground...

Suddenly erupted with a terrifying wail that made one's scalp tingle, as if its steel keel was being forcibly twisted apart!

Under the point-blank eruption of this strategic-grade EMP electromagnetic storm!

Even though the abyss roarer possessed the physical defense of the Black Iron peak-tier [Gale Abatis Armor], and even the terrifying foundation Su Chen had accumulated through countless Omni-Modifications...

But...

The anti-gravity levitation chassis module!

This was the absolute core power source that supported this steel behemoth, weighing thousands of tons, to move as if on flat land at an altitude of ten thousand meters!

Its low-level driver chips and energy output control valves...

Having lost the protection of Ling Yi's 13,000-fold biological computing power, and under the freakish high-frequency vibrational impact of the electromagnetic storm...

Finally...

Could no longer withstand this destructive blow that far exceeded its physical limits!

Hiss—!

Accompanied by a sound like the desperate gasp of a dying dragon...

The rows of anti-gravity engine nozzles beneath the abyss roarer, which had been spewing brilliant white and ghost-blue high-purity plasma flames like magnificent clouds to hold up the entire train...

The light...

Instantly, completely... went out!!!

"The anti-gravity engines... stalled?!"

In the darkness, Dark Night, who possessed extremely strong night vision, stared intently with her heterochromatic eyes at the lifting flames that had instantly vanished outside the carriage.

In her voice, which was usually as calm as a god of death, an unmaskable extreme horror appeared for the first time!

Meanwhile, in that hidden mechanical ruin behind them...

Inside the Eden Alliance's massive circular train...

Lin Yuan looked through the carriage windows, which were strictly protected by various anti-electromagnetic radiation coatings, at the dark-gold levitating train that had lost its light like a lone bird that had lost its wings.

On his elegant and refined face, he finally couldn't suppress a burst of frantic, extreme laughter—the kind that came from trampling the world's number one under his feet!

"Hahahaha!"

"Su Chen, oh Su Chen! Where is your golden grade AI that can crush others with cross-dimensional computing power now?!"

"Where is your invincible strength that can shatter a Divine Gold BOSS with one hammer blow?!"

Lin Yuan adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, which had become crooked from his laughter, like a madman. His narrow eyes were filled with a poisonous pleasure.

"In the face of this strategic-grade EMP bomb, capable of sending a city back to the Stone Age!"

"Your proud levitation technology is indeed impressive, but without that anti-gravity shell!"

"At this altitude of ten thousand meters where not even a bird can fly!"

Lin Yuan suddenly stood up and spread his arms, as if embracing the greatest final performance, roaring at the top of his lungs.

"That invincible warship of yours, weighing thousands of tons, is now..."

"Nothing more than a—steel—coffin—about to be smashed into a pile of mush!"

"Go to your death! Take your pathetic pride and roll from the clouds back down to hell!"

HUMMM—!!!

As the strategic-grade EMP electromagnetic storm, powerful enough to instantly blast a modern metropolis of ten million back to the Stone Age, swept through with an overbearing posture that defied all physical logic...

The abyss roarer, this dark-gold levitating train weighing thousands of tons that had been as arrogant as a god at ten thousand meters just a moment ago...

The rows of anti-gravity engine nozzles beneath it, which had been spewing brilliant ghost-blue plasma flames...

It was as if the cold hands of the Grim Reaper had tightly gripped its throat.

The light...

In an instant...

Completely and unreservedly... went out!

Click!

Inside the second-floor panoramic living area...

The luxury lighting, miniature constant-temperature air conditioners, and various electronic instruments exuding technological beauty—all crafted with the top technology of the Old Era—

At this moment, all of them erupted in a sharp spark of short-circuiting, followed by pungent black smoke.

The entire spacious and luxurious carriage instantly fell into an absolute darkness as silent as the abyss.

Only a few of the most primitive physical emergency red warning lights on the edges of the walls, which did not rely on high-end chip control, were still flashing with a shrill red light that made one's heart race.

Immediately after...

A physical phenomenon that made every carbon-based lifeform tremble from the depths of their soul descended upon everyone in the carriage without warning.

It was the result of losing all lift, where gravitational potential energy was completely released in an instant—

Absolute weightlessness!

"Ah—!"

Liu Ruyan, who had been holding a fruit salad, let out a scream of extreme terror.

Her curvaceous and enchanting body was like a weightless feather; her feet instantly left the floor covered in expensive Persian carpet, and she floated uncontrollably toward the ceiling of the carriage.

The exquisite crystal tray in her hand also slipped away.

The translucent mutant tomatoes and purple grapes inside the tray scattered in mid-air, like floating colored marbles, presenting an eerie beauty of doomsday weightlessness under the reflection of the emergency red light.

"My god! We're falling!"

Natasha, the Russian vixen who wrestled mutant giant bears on the Siberian ice fields year-round, was also frightened out of her wits.

Her multi-barreled Gatling gun, weighing over a hundred pounds, became light as a feather in the weightless state, even pulling her body into a frantic tumble in mid-air.

She could only wave her sturdy long legs desperately, trying to find even the slightest point of leverage in the air.

"Grab onto something fixed! Don't let the inertia throw you out!"

Relying on the terrifying muscle memory honed through years of combat, Zhang Man acted in the very first second of weightlessness.

She suddenly extended her right arm, hard as steel, and death-gripped a thick alloy support pillar connecting the ceiling and the floor.

Then...

With her other hand, she grabbed the slender waist of Ye Qingyu, who was flailing in panic in mid-air, and pulled the fragile little Mechanic loli tightly into her protective embrace.

"Waaa... My arsenal... My life's work..."

Ye Qingyu squeezed her eyes shut and buried her small face in Zhang Man's chest, a few crystal tears even escaping from the corners of her eyes from fear.

"We're at ten thousand meters!"

"No matter how thick the Gale Abatis Armor of the abyss roarer is, if several thousand tons hit the ground at free-fall speed, we'll definitely be vibrated into meat paste by that terrifying physical shockwave!"

Chu Qingxue, who had always maintained a cool demeanor...

At this moment, her beautiful, icy face finally couldn't hide a trace of instinctive fear of death.

She tried to urge the S-grade Extreme Cold elements within her body to condense ice stairs.

But in the face of this terrifying gravitational acceleration that was increasing their descent speed every second, the ice she condensed was torn into a flurry of shards by the violent air pressure the moment it formed.

"Master... are we going to die?"

Dark Night, in her Nine-Tailed Nether Cat form, had her heterochromatic eyes shimmering with an eerie light in the darkness.

She used her sharp claws to dig deep into the back of the leather sofa, her desperate gaze instinctively turning toward the tall figure standing before the massive explosion-proof floor-to-ceiling window.

In everyone's hearts...

This level of strategic EMP weapon was simply the absolute nemesis of all high-tech levitation vehicles.

Losing power at ten thousand meters was no longer a battle; it was a one-sided, irreversible judgment from the Grim Reaper!

However...

What made all the extremely beautiful Valkyries, who were in a state of extreme panic, feel it was inconceivable was...

In this terrifying fall that even steel would find desperate...

That Huaxia man wearing a black tactical trench coat with one hand in his pocket...

The Train Master Su Chen, whom they regarded as the only deity of the wasteland...

His face did not show even the slightest trace of panic, despair, or the hysteria of facing death.

On the contrary...

Under the constant flashing of the emergency red light...

On Su Chen's handsome and cold face, a smile slowly, bit by bit... curved into an extremely mad, extremely violent, and even absolute mockery of all things in the world!

"Lin Yuan."

Su Chen's deep, magnetic voice, completely unaffected by the sensation of weightlessness, rang out with exceptional clarity in the chaotic carriage.

"As the supreme leader of the Eden Alliance, to deal with a regular player like me, you were actually willing to pull out a strategic-grade EMP bomb from the Old Era."

"This meeting gift is indeed generous enough, and insidious enough."

Su Chen's feet were as if rooted to the floor; no matter how the wind howled outside the carriage or how the weightlessness pulled at him, his tall and straight figure remained as motionless as a spear.

His Monarchs Halo, while unable to resist physical gravity at this moment, could perfectly lock his body in the most stable posture.

"You thought..."

Su Chen's eyes, deep as an abyss, stared through the explosion-proof glass at the massive circular train flagship faintly exposed in the distant ruins directly below.

"That by using an electromagnetic pulse to paralyze my anti-gravity engines and stripping me of my ability to fly at ten thousand meters..."

"I would really become a steel coffin at your mercy?"

From Su Chen's throat, a low, cold laugh suddenly erupted, like an ancient demon awakening.

"You sewer rat who only knows how to hide in dark corners and scheme against others."

"About the world-destroying, pure violence of mass and acceleration..."

"You know absolutely nothing!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking...

Su Chen didn't act like a normal person, frantically calling for Ling Yi to repair the engines in this certain-death situation, nor did he try to activate the backup electronic circuits that had already been fried.

He turned around quite calmly.

Under the horrified gaze of the girls...

Su Chen took long, powerful strides and walked briskly to the pure mechanical manual control station hidden under an armor plate at the front of the living area.

In this doomsday world of the wasteland where various extreme situations could occur at any time...

How could a super freak like Su Chen, who possessed the [Omni-Modification] talent, not leave a most primitive and reliable trump card for his vehicle?

Crunch!

Su Chen reached out with his large, well-defined hand and tore away the metal cover plate painted with a red skull warning sign.

Revealing a massive Mechanical Helm inside, crafted entirely from high-strength titanium alloy with no electronic chip intervention, along with several thick hydraulic control levers as large as an adult's thigh.

These things...

Were directly connected through extremely complex pure physical gear meshing and hydraulic transmission to the four ultra-large mechanical attitude control tail fins on the exterior of the abyss roarer's body, which were usually used to stabilize airflow!

"Since you like watching falling meteors so much."

Su Chen's hands death-gripped the cold Mechanical Helm.

In his dark eyes, a flash of madness capable of dragging the entire world into the abyss instantly erupted!

"Then I will use this steel coffin of mine, weighing several thousand tons..."

"To personally deliver the grandest and most violent physics firework show for you, the Leader of Eden!"

"For me..."

"Turn!!!"

Accompanied by Su Chen's world-shaking roar!

The muscles on his arms instantly bulged like knotted dragons, and his blood vessels stood out as he pressed the terrifying individual physical strength within his body, which had been strengthened by countless modifications, onto that Mechanical Helm without reservation!

"Krrr-krrr-krrr—!!!"

A massive sound of metal grinding erupted, so grating that it made one's teeth ache, as if the entire steel keel of the train was letting out a painful wail.

It instantly pierced through the howling of the gale, frantically rubbing against everyone's eardrums!

Under the impact of the terrifying high-altitude downward airflow outside.

The four massive mechanical tail fins on the exterior of the abyss roarer's body.

Were forcibly twisted to an incredibly slanted angle by Su Chen's pure physical strength!

It was as if, ten thousand meters in the air, a massive black meteorite that was originally falling randomly and at the mercy of fate.

Had been forcibly fitted with a deadly guidance system that could change its falling trajectory!

"Whish—!"

As the direction of the airflow was forced to change.

The massive dark gold front of the abyss roarer, which had been falling flat.

Under the frantic tugging of aerodynamics, it actually tilted downward at a huge angle in an extremely brutal posture!

Its incredibly heavy Dragon Ram, originally used for ramming giant mutant beasts.

At this moment.

Was like a hammer of world destruction thrown by Thor, carrying the power to judge all the sins of the world!

Crossing several thousand meters of vertical altitude.

It accurately and dead-locked onto the target directly below.

That massive Circular Flagship Train belonging to Lin Yuan, the leader of the Eden Alliance!

...

And at this very moment.

Inside the main control room of that Eden circular train hidden in the shadows of the ruins.

Lin Yuan was still sitting on that expensive mahogany executive chair.

On his elegant face, there was still that triumphant wild laughter of someone who had everything under control and was playing with the world's number one combat power in the palm of his hand.

"Fall... be smashed into meat paste..."

Lin Yuan picked up that cup of top-grade Da Hong Pao black tea and leisurely blew on the steam.

"No matter how abnormal your train's armor is, in the face of this millions-of-tons-level physical impact falling from ten thousand meters."

"You can only turn into a puddle of meat paste stuck to the armor plates."

"When the news of your death spreads, my Eden Alliance will be the well-deserved only true god in this Wasteland Cruise Era!"

However.

At that moment, just before Lin Yuan could swallow that mouthful of hot tea.

Outside the massive bulletproof glass skylight of his control room.

The originally bright sky was suddenly completely obscured by an extremely massive black shadow that was expanding at a terrifying speed, leaving no time to react!

"Woooo—!!!"

It was a terrifying sonic boom, like tens of thousands of giant dragons letting out desperate roars in the sky at the same time!

It was the death whistle produced by a steel beast weighing thousands of tons as it broke the sound barrier and caused violent friction with the air!

The wild laughter on Lin Yuan's face instantly froze.

His narrow eyes, hidden behind gold-rimmed glasses, saw the terrifying behemoth frantically smashing down overhead.

His pupils contracted to the limit within 0.01 seconds, becoming smaller than a needle point!

"Th... what is this?!"

The mouthful of hot tea in Lin Yuan's mouth sprayed out directly, and his face, which originally prided itself on the calm of a wise man, was instantly occupied by an extreme horror and despair that could not be described in words!

He saw it!

He saw it clearly!

The abyss roarer, which should have been tumbling randomly in mid-air like a broken-stringed kite, eventually crashing who-knows-where!

At this moment.

It was actually like an intercontinental missile that had been given absolutely precise coordinates!

Front down!

Carrying a world-destroying gravitational acceleration and potential energy that would make one's soul shudder just to look at it!

Straight, without deviating.

Toward the top of Lin Yuan's head!

Toward this supreme flagship of the Eden Alliance!

It smashed down... extremely frantically and brutally!!!

"Is he crazy?! Does he want to perish together?!"

Lin Yuan bounced up from his executive chair like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

His long, fair hands, which were usually only used to press the buttons of conspiracies, were now trembling violently.

"Quick! Quick, start the train's full-power engines! Get me out of the way! Get me out of the way!!"

Lin Yuan roared hysterically, his refined disguise completely torn apart in the face of the threat of death, his voice as shrill as a eunuch being strangled.

However.

It was all too late.

Thousands of tons of absolute mass!

Plus the terrifying falling speed of thousands of kilometers per hour accumulated from a free fall of ten thousand meters!

The terrifying physical kinetic energy contained within it.

Had completely surpassed the extreme limit that any technology or armor on this wasteland could withstand!

In the face of this purest, most primitive, and most unstoppable violence of cosmic physical laws.

Lin Yuan's proud schemes and intrigues.

Those strategic-grade EMP bombs that could paralyze electronic equipment.

Were simply like a baby who had just learned to walk, trying to use a piece of straw to block an exploding supernova!

"No... don't..."

Lin Yuan looked up blankly.

He watched as the Dragon Ram, burning with the high-temperature red light generated by air friction, rapidly expanded in his vision.

He could even clearly see the dark gold Divine Gold Patterns remaining on the ram from Su Chen's previous modifications.

That unparalleled sense of oppression caused even the strength to turn and run to be drained from him in an instant.

"I am the leader of the world's number one alliance... I can't die here... I..."

Lin Yuan's desperate mutterings were cut short before they could be finished.

"Boom—!!!!!"

A heaven-shaking explosion, enough to make all the mutant beasts within hundreds of kilometers crawl on the ground and tremble!

Like the arrival of doomsday.

It exploded violently on the ruins outside the gate of the Inner City of God Domain!!!

In this instant.

Time seemed to lose its meaning.

The incredibly heavy dark gold front of the abyss roarer, carrying millions of tons of terrifying physical destructive potential energy.

Was like a Thor's Hammer thrown directly from outer space!

Extremely brutally, extremely arrogantly, and without any room for reason.

It smashed heavily into the very center of that Eden Circular Flagship Train!

"Crack... Bang!!!"

That layer of high-strength composite armor, which even heavy armor-piercing shells could not leave a mark on.

In the face of this meteorite-level impact.

Was like a fragile piece of tofu skin, instantly torn, penetrated, and shattered by the abyss roarer's Dragon Ram!

The massive sounds of twisting steel and tearing intertwined.

That massive circular train didn't even have time for the firelight of an explosion to fully bloom.

Before it was smashed into two broken pieces from the middle by this unmatched absolute violence!

And that Eden Alliance leader, Lin Yuan, who had been hiding behind the scenes and priding himself on being able to control the fate of all players.

He didn't even leave a final scream in this world.

In the one ten-thousandth of a second that the impact occurred.

His proud, so-called high-IQ body.

Along with his expensive mahogany executive chair, the gold-rimmed glasses in his hand, and all his schemes and ambitions.

Were all beneath the invincible chassis of the abyss roarer.

Crushed, exploded, and compressed into a blurred meat paste from which not even DNA could be extracted!

Extremely humiliating!

Extremely violent!

The leader of the world's number one terrifying force.

Just like that, by Su Chen using the most primitive gravitational physical method of "stone-throwing".

Was literally sat on and crushed to death!

Steel fragments filled the sky like a reverse rainstorm, flying frantically in all directions.

The violent shockwave sent the wreckage of the nearby Freedom Alliance trains flying once again.

However.

This crazy performance, which was enough to be recorded in the annals of the wasteland era, did not end with Lin Yuan's death.

"Now is the time!!!"

At the moment it smashed through the Eden flagship and crushed the enemy into meat paste!

Inside the carriage of the abyss roarer.

Su Chen, who was still death-gripping the Mechanical Helm, had a burst of extreme light in his deep eyes!

He was very clear.

After smashing through the enemy ship, his train was still falling toward the hard wasteland ground at a very high speed.

At this moment, from the ground.

Only the final absolute death limit distance of less than a hundred meters remained!

But this was also the most critical link in Su Chen's crazy plan!

After breaking through the armor of Lin Yuan's train, the local high-intensity shielding magnetic field left by the EMP bomb finally showed a brief attenuation and loosening!

"Ling Yi! Wake up for me!"

"Backup energy! [Extreme Cold Nuclear Fusion Core]! Forced physical override!"

Su Chen's voice, like a monarch's roar, exploded in the dark carriage.

Without hesitation, he smashed the emergency restart red button that had been in an independent physical sealed state!

"Buzz—!"

Accompanied by a strange buzzing sound like a glacier cracking.

That [Extreme Cold Nuclear Fusion Core], presented by Natasha herself outside the gate of God Domain.

At this most critical moment of life and death, it was forcibly pushed into the abyss roarer's main power furnace by a purely mechanical hydraulic device!

Massive, pure, and ice-attribute nuclear energy unaffected by external electromagnetic interference was like a reviving frost dragon.

It instantly surged through the countless backup transmission lines inside the train that had not been completely burned out, frantically pouring into the anti-gravity engines under the car that had stalled!

"Ding! Detected forced injection of transcendent energy!"

"Backup underlying logic activated..."

"anti-gravity engines... full power overclocked restart... 10%... 50%... 100%!!!"

Just as the front of the abyss roarer was less than ten meters away from the iron-hard wasteland ground.

Even as the gale whipped up by the front of the train had already blown countless cracks into the rocks on the ground!

"Boom—!!!"

A cluster of extreme ghost-blue plasma tail flame, a hundred times more dazzling and a thousand times purer than any time before!

Like a World-Destroying Ice Lotus blooming in despair.

It erupted violently from under the abyss roarer!

"Creeeeeak—!!!"

An extremely powerful reverse lifting force instantly engaged in the most tragic physical confrontation with the terrifying gravitational potential energy of the train's fall!

Everyone inside the carriage felt a terrifying hyper-G force at this moment, as if it were about to squeeze their internal organs out of their bodies!

If it were an ordinary person, they would have died instantly with blood flowing from their seven orifices under this level of G-force tugging.

But on this train no. 0099, where everyone was a freak, the girls only let out a muffled groan with pale faces, relying on their respective powerful supernatural power reserves to death-grip and withstand this wave of deadly overload.

"Stop... for me!!!"

Su Chen's roar, like a divine decree, drowned out the roar of the engines.

At the limit position just a few meters from the ground!

This dark gold floating battleship weighing thousands of tons was as if it were being death-held by an invisible giant hand.

Miraculously.

It actually... hovered in mid-air!!!

"Boom—!"

The violent plasma airwave erupted by the engines was like a category twelve super hurricane.

It blew the wreckage of Lin Yuan's train, which had been smashed into two pieces, and all the dust and rubble on the ground below.

Away in an instant, completely erasing all traces from this land!

The whole place was deathly silent.

Only the stable and powerful engine roar of the abyss roarer echoed between heaven and earth.

This violent crushing that could be called a miracle of physics!

This perfect extreme counter-kill that turned passivity into activity!

Caused those stunning Valkyries in the carriage, who had just walked back from the gates of hell, to all slump onto the floor, panting heavily.

When they looked at the Chinese man standing at the front.

In those beautiful eyes, it was no longer just worship.

But had completely turned into a kind of.

Absolute madness and obsession, willing to offer their souls to him, even if it meant following him into hell!

"Whew..."

Su Chen slowly loosened his large hands, which were somewhat numb from the excessive force.

He straightened the slightly wrinkled black tactical trench coat he was wearing.

On that handsome and cold face, the composure and laziness of treating all things in the world as ants returned once more.

He turned around, not looking at the ruins below that had already been leveled to the ground.

Instead, through the massive explosion-proof glass, he cast those eyes as deep as an abyss.

From afar.

Toward the Inner City of God Domain gate ten thousand meters above, which had completely opened its arms to him.

"Number one in the world?"

The corner of Su Chen's mouth curled into an extremely domineering, invincible light laugh, enough to make the entire wasteland surrender.

"In this Wasteland Cruise Era opened by me, Su Chen."

"Where I stand."

"Is where the throne lies."

(The End)
