Chapter 444: The First Sign of a Disaster

Although the Earth of the DC universe cannot be said to be home to thousands of races, the humans living on the surface are by no means the only rulers.

Many years ago, there was a huge empire called Atlantis. Compared with humans at the same time, its highly developed civilization and technology were no more than nuclear bombs and slingshots. Yes, that is not a metaphor. A laser cannon was flying all over the sky, and a The tactics of swords, spears and human waves.

The Atlanteans themselves are also different from humans. Although they all have the same appearance, the former have innate extraordinary physiques and stronger physical fitness, and most of them look down on humans who are like crude gorillas.

However, everything that goes great must come crashing down.

In pursuit of greater technological power, the King of Atlantis suffered a backlash, causing a disaster that caused the entire country's land plates to collapse and crack, and then sank into the ocean.

After experiencing a near-extinction disaster, the tenacious Atlanteans survived and adapted to the environment on the seabed.

Additionally, the unified kingdom split into seven.

They are the orthodox Kingdom of Atlantis, the Kingdom of Zebel which is the only one that retains human form, the Fisherman Kingdom where all the people are mermaids, the Saltwater Kingdom where there are crabs and lobsters per capita, and the Trench Tribe who sank into the Mariana Trench and all the people degenerated into brutal monsters. , the country of the Betrayer, whose territory became the Sahara Desert and perished, and the Lost Country, which no one knows but is actually sealed.

In short, there are currently only four kingdoms under the sea.

Countless years have passed, and they have long been independent of each other. The other three countries can at most openly respect the orthodox kingdom of Atlantis, but secretly compete with each other, or they may not interfere with each other.

Today, for saltwater country, it’s unremarkable.

Because the territory is located in the area of ​​submarine volcanoes, in order to adapt to the high-heat environment, the original appearance of humans has long changed, evolving into humanoid creatures that resemble lobsters and crabs. The thick carapace protects the fragile flesh and blood, and also isolates the ever-present high temperature. and water pressure.

So, in the light of volcanic magma, the entire saltwater country is like a steaming oven with red light, and the citizens are like super giant seafood scurrying around in the hot pot?

Compared with the other three countries, the Saltwater Country does not have any beautiful environment at all. Bare rugged stone peaks are scattered among the undersea mountains. Occasionally, hot air flows from cracks in the seabed. The groggy seawater is a purgatory-like dark red. Atmosphere.

The urban architecture doesn't show that this is an ancient country with thousands of years of history, but the rough architectural style fits the image of the people very well. There are countless caves sunk into the huge mountain rock walls, which are their factories and so on. The facilities may seem rough and crude at first glance, but they are actually full of black technology. After all, it is a branch of the Kingdom of Atlantis, and there is a limit to how advanced technology can be.

Due to its proximity to submarine volcanoes, the saltwater nation relies on developed geothermal energy.

"You brats, give me your best!"

"His grandma, those kingdoms usually look down on us, saying that we are hot-tempered and paranoid. When I think of this, I feel so proud!"

"Hahaha, that's right, we are just hot-tempered and stubborn, and we will do whatever we don't accept!"

In a military camp, a group of Saltwater Soldiers who looked like crabs and lobsters were practicing and competing. They all held machetes or spears with their large pliers and were training in cold weapon confrontation.

Hua Hua Hua~

A huge eel, hundreds of meters long, swam in the water above our heads, and a coconut crab nearly a hundred meters long crawled on the ridge from time to time.

These monster-like underwater creatures are not living creatures, but bionic machines unique to the Saltwater Kingdom, which are their transportation vehicles. Of course, they can be converted into war machines or mobile fortresses when necessary.

"what is that?"

"Where is it? Let me take a look."

The two lobster soldiers riding mechanical lobsters stopped patrolling and looked at the distant city outside.

At the same time, a turtle-shaped patrol warship behind him also stopped, and the officers inside used telescope-like tools for observation.

In his field of vision, a small gray dot was like a bullet that submerged into the deep sea but ignored the water pressure, dragging out an extremely long burst of water that could not be seen to the end, approaching at an absurdly high speed that made him feel.

WTF?

Our jet lobster doesn't have this speed, right?

Soon, the sound of explosions as a large amount of sea water was torn apart resounded throughout the city.

I saw a cavity forming wherever Chu Xin passed. Since there was no tendency to slow down at all, the dull explosions continued, like the doomsday trumpet when the demon army came.

But it was not an army, but a lone person.

It cannot be called a human being. The soldiers of Saltwater Kingdom have never seen such an ugly and ferocious creature. Its burly torso, ferocious bone spurs, deep eyes, and the red light of energy that bursts out and penetrates the flesh when the heart beats are all... It sent shivers down their spines, and they experienced the cold of winter for the first time on top of the volcano.

"Enemy attack!"

boom--

A deafening roar suddenly sounded, reaching the ears of every person in Saltwater Country.

With bad tempers and stubborn personalities, when they learned that there was an enemy invasion, their first reaction was shock, followed by rage, without fear or flinching.

No, the whole nation of Xianshui State, which was in full force, immediately entered a state of alert. The soldiers took out their hot and cold weapons and boarded combat vehicles, then returned to their respective posts to prepare.

All the bionic warships stopped their industrial tasks and swam to the city gate to take a stance. The claws on their abdomens adjusted the joint angles, and the tips were clearly the muzzles of the cannons.

In the spacious square behind, trebuchets rose up, and the burning spherical rocks were automatically filled.

Wow——

Just when the military had deployed half of the troops, Chu Xin rushed into their sight with the force of thunder.

When he was close to 500 meters, he stepped on a ridge again to run up and suddenly jumped.

Bang!

In an instant, a column of water penetrated the strongest crab fortress in the Saltwater Kingdom. Amid the flames, Chu Xin fell from above at a high speed, his whole body shining with red arcs, and hit the city gate heavily.

Just the falling blow of the overflowing energy, the soldiers who had no time to dodge were like a pile of hard-shelled seafood smashed by the anchor, and the rotten meat stuck to the broken shells and splashed everywhere.

"My people, fire!"

Just when everyone was stunned by the horror, the huge king appeared with a coral-like red trident raised high. His roar was undoubtedly a blood-boiling charge horn, which immediately made everyone come back to their senses and launched a fierce attack on Chu Xin.

Countless crabs and lobsters held simple guns, from which they fired high-heat red beams. The high-heat beam cannons fired by warships also had the same energy properties, and were all geothermal weapons adapted to local conditions.

At the same time, more than a dozen catapults also threw out flaming flints one after another. They would explode after hitting the target, and it was obvious that they were filled with explosives similar to gunpowder.

However, whether it was thermal bullets or beams, or flints with a diameter of more than ten meters, they were useless when they fell on Chu Xin.

Bang!

Chu Xin casually blasted a flint, and the high heat and explosion could not cause effective damage to his skin.

With a "whoosh", he jumped up and fearlessly landed in the center of the city where soldiers were gathered. Halfway through, he grabbed a more than 100-meter-long eel-shaped warship with one hand and threw it hard to a hilltop where a group of soldiers gathered. Suddenly, the rocks collapsed and screams were heard everywhere.

"What kind of monster is this?"

The king was shocked. He clenched his fist, gritted his teeth, and rushed towards Chu Xin with his trident in hand, looking like a brave general.

Seeing this, the other soldiers also rushed forward without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, Chu Xin's chest burst into a dazzling dark red halo, and the next second, dense and thick arcs were released from his body. They intertwined to form an airtight net, and the nets formed a multi-dimensional network, and then burst out around him.

Incandescent shock wave!

Boom--

When the king saw the devastating light, he murmured in horror, "natural disaster".

In an instant, under the tragic gaze of countless people in the Saltwater Kingdom, the king, who was only a dozen meters away, was instantly swallowed up, then shattered and melted into ashes. His strongest shell armor in the country only lasted for two seconds.

But they didn't need to be overly sad.

Because the range of the shock wave was very large, so large that it covered the entire Saltwater Kingdom.

To massacre a country is easy.
