Chapter 970: Chapter 963: Call Soone
As the giant sea monster spewed out a white mist, crimson patterns lit up across its originally rock-like blue-gray carapace, and its two enormous, car-sized round eyes shone brightly like activated searchlights, brimming with an electrical glow.
Several still-intact tentacles were raised high into the air and then slamd violently onto the ocean surface, creating massive splashes, while several other tentacles swept incessantly below the water.
The whole scene seed bizarre, almost like a mischievous child throwing a tantrum and smashing things around.
“What is it doing?” Mackie, in the combat command room, looked at the enraged giant sea monster, puzzled by its behavior.
“Clearing the anti-submarine sonar. It seems those little devices are annoying it quite a bit,” Chen Yu deduced the creature’s behavior.
However, this wasn’t much of a problem. While the sea monster might clear the devices, helicopters could still deploy more. These anti-submarine sonars were actually akin to buoys—each helicopter could carry up to 25. Losing a few to the sea monster wasn’t a big deal.
Watching the footage of the sea monster wildly flailing its tentacles, Chen Yu, though unsure why it was only destroying the sonar devices in its fit of rage, still turned to Colonel Marcus and said, “Colonel, continue firing the missiles. This can…”
But before Chen Yu could finish his sentence, the monster’s actions on the screen suddenly changed.
Having apparently cleared the sonar around it, the giant sea monster now locked its gaze on the helicopters still circling nearby.
“What’s it planning to do?!” Colonel Marcus exclaid, his voice filled with alarm. And as he spoke, the giant sea monster unleashed a jet of high-pressure water from its mouth, hitting one of the helicopters hovering around it directly. It then swiftly pivoted its massive body, sweeping the water jet toward the other helicopters as well.
The power of the high-pressure water jet, capable of spanning several kiloters, was unimaginable. In reality, no device exists or is needed to produce such a force over such a vast distance.
But when the water jet struck the helicopter, it instantly reduced the aircraft to a pile of shattered debris. As the jet swept across, the other helicopters t the sa fate—all but one, which managed to survive by flying higher to capture battlefield footage.
“This… is a water jet?” Colonel Marcus felt his entire understanding of the world shatter. How could a high-pressure water jet function like anti-aircraft artillery? This was far beyond his comprehension.
Standing nearby, Chen Yu, however, detected sothing else. Frowning, he said, “That’s magic, not re physical propulsion. It seems this monster’s power is beginning to return as its anger builds.”
As Chen Yu spoke, the giant sea monster ceased its water jet attack. Instead, it remained stationary, expelling a massive plu of white mist from its lower body vents, almost enshrouding itself entirely.
Yet, Chen Yu noticed that while emitting the mist, the creature also subrged its head into the water, seemingly replenishing the water it had just expelled.
Realizing this, Chen Yu quickly addressed Colonel Marcus: “Colonel, keep firing the missiles—they’re effective against it! Also, prepare a helicopter to send over.”
“You’re going out there personally, sir?” Colonel Marcus was startled. He hadn’t expected Chen Yu to insist on directly entering the battlefield.
“That’s no ordinary monster—it’s a primordial deity. Don’t be fooled. The damage you’ve inflicted is only because it’s just awakened from its slumber and hasn’t fully recovered its strength,” Chen Yu explained as he headed for the exit, pulling out his phone. “All you’ve managed so far are superficial wounds. It’ll recover quickly. To truly harm it, missiles alone aren’t enough.”
As he spoke, he dialed his phone and said into it, “Honey, co help fight the monster.”

When Chen Yu arrived at the battlefield by helicopter, Jounouchi Hiromi—now clad in a set of blue armor—was already there as well.
“Honey, you look amazing in that outfit,” Chen Yu complinted, as he jumped straight out of the helicopter, admiring the demigod armor he had specially crafted for her.
Watching him leap down, Jounouchi Hiromi replied with mock irritation, “Are you just trying to praise your own craftsmanship? It looks good because you made it.”
“Of course, it looks great because you’re beautiful. That’s why the armor looks stunning, too,” Chen Yu joked, before turning his attention to the giant sea monster, which had just taken another hit from an anti-ship missile. “Man, this thing really has thick skin! It’s still looking pristine after taking three or four missile hits.”
“A primordial deity! Who’d have thought there were still creatures this ancient on Earth?” Hiromi marveled. Such creatures, ancient enough to date back to the world’s creation, had only been briefly ntioned in texts like the “Crimson Hymn.” Few had ever witnessed their existence firsthand.
Chen Yu, however, was in good spirits. “This is a rare delicacy! How about we capture it and make a soup out of it? We can extract its divine essence to nourish you and Little Yixi.”
“Nourish ? I don’t need it, but our daughter could definitely use it. The more she drinks, the healthier and stronger she’ll beco!” Hiromi’s expression shifted at the ntion of their daughter. She wasn’t particularly interested in the soup for herself, but if it was for their child, her determination surged.
With their plans finalized, the couple exchanged a knowing glance, then flew directly toward the giant sea monster, which, after taking another missile hit, was now attempting to repair its injuries by absorbing seawater.
During the ti it took Chen Yu to leave the USS Iwo Jima and arrive at the battlefield, the temporary task force had fired five anti-ship missiles. These hit the sea monster’s shell, head, and six long legs, dealing significant damage.
The most severe strike landed on one of its lengthy legs. The impact not only shattered the carapace but almost severed the entire limb, leaving the creature much slower and forcing it to draw energy from the sea to heal itself.
Chen Yu and Jounouchi Hiromi clearly had no intention of letting the creature fully recover. The couple exchanged a firm nod of understanding and launched their assault.
Having already suited up during the helicopter ride, Chen Yu raised his magic wand, casting the Necromantic Canopy. Darkness shrouded the sky, dimming the light and creating an optimal combat environnt.
As the Necromantic Canopy spread, Chen Yu summoned an undead legion that swiftly ford ranks across the water’s surface.
