Chapter 866: Chapter 111 Whale Song
The Six Dragons’ Holy Lord made a dodging move at that mont, but imdiately stopped.
He instinctively sensed sothing was wrong. There shouldn’t be any enemies here. Protectors, Scientific Knights, none could be passing through this place at this ti.
Xiang Shan’s reaction was also swift. Behind him, the Magnetic Chain Weapon had already transford in shape. Dozens of shattered iron pieces were swept by the electromagnetic gun and shot out in all directions. Several Six Dragons Sect warriors tried to dodge but were still hit in weak areas like the tail fins and dorsal fins, directly losing parts of their prosthetic bodies to the shrapnel.
More ultrasonic beams swept in from all directions, while the Six Dragons Sect’s own radar was interfered by so inexplicable source. It seed that sothing in the ocean was deliberately using ultrasonic waves with frequencies similar to those of the Six Dragons Sect radar to disrupt their perception abilities.
In this sudden chaos, the Six Dragons Sect was restricted everywhere. Due to the Inner Strength suppression from the Twelfth Martial God in front of them, they couldn’t fully open their exploration, fearing invasion from the opponent. Their radar specifically chose a narrow infrasound frequency band. The sound wave emitter for that band is not easily integrated into smaller prosthetic bodies.
For the ultrasonic frequency band, they only intermittently enabled passive detection.
At this mont, they seed blind even with their eyes open.
The mbers of the Six Dragons Sect staying on the submarine continued to hesitate. Activating proactive scouting techniques now might lead to being invaded by the Martial God. But not turning them on might result in encirclent.
And at this mont, Xiang Shan was the first to discover the truth.
He widened his eyes.
A massive shadow…
—That’s…
A whale.
A giant whale… Xiang Shan couldn’t imdiately tell what kind of whale it was. This giant had a high-arched head, resembling a sperm whale, but its lower jaw was not narrow like a sperm whale, instead, it was very wide.
Xiang Shan also perceived sothing very bizarre at the sa ti.
This whale was using techniques akin to “mimicry” to disrupt the Six Dragons Sect’s detection system.
In the frigid deep sea where sunlight couldn’t reach, mysterious sound waves disrupted the perception of the Six Dragons Sect. In such an environnt, the Six Dragons Sect warriors did not deliberately prepare highly efficient prosthetic eyes.
So by the ti they discovered it, the whale had already snuck into a very close position.
At this mont, Kanhara Shinhara was stunned, Yang ngying was stunned, and even the Six Dragons Sect Leader was slightly lost.
This was impossible. All whales and dolphins should have been extinct in the disaster two hundred years ago. No one had seen these creatures in society for the past two hundred years. Under Yawgmoth’s orders, the Scientific Knight Order searched the seven oceans repeatedly but never encountered them.
Kanhara Shinhara even had a mont when she felt they were seeing the ghost of a whale…
Then, the next second, everyone was forced to “lose consciousness” in a physical sense.
Sperm whales can emit ultrasonic waves at 230 decibels, making them the loudest animals on the planet. Assisted by prosthetic bodies, Hopkins can release nearly 240 decibels of whale song in an extrely short ti.
Under the overwhelming sound field, including Xiang Shan, all humans entered the giant whale’s attack range.
For Homo sapiens, a sound of 240 decibels can instantly take a person’s life. Benchmark Man’s resistance to damage is stronger, cyber warriors even more so, able to weaken this damage layer by layer through prosthetic body’s damping and energy-absorbing structures. But the whale’s assault was so sudden.
Warriors like Xiang Shan and the Holy Lord can imdiately escape when discovering a nuclear blitz, ensuring they exit the nuclear explosion’s central zone. In such cases, the prosthetic body’s performance can guarantee them unscathed. But this doesn’t an they could take a nuclear hit up close.
In fact, without dodging, even conventional weapons could potentially deal fatal blows to them.
Due to facing the Inner Strength of the Twelfth Martial God, the Six Dragons’ Holy Lord had closed all of his senses. Only when the whale reached a close proximity did he realize what happened.
Xiang Shan saw this a step earlier than the Holy Lord, so he was ntally prepared and had ti to react. More importantly, he had previously discovered traces of dolphins.
As the ultrasonic waves entered the prosthetic body and consciousness was about to sever, Xiang Shan abruptly exerted a force, a brief and robust Inch Energy that pushed the Six Dragons’ Holy Lord aside.
For so reason, the Six Dragons’ Holy Lord and the distant “Shooter” were less affected than others. Xiang Shan almost lost consciousness, finishing a combo of moves by instinct, shoving the Holy Lord away. For so reason, the Holy Lord did not activate his full turbine system. The Holy Lord pushed off the seawater with one leg, trying to leap forward.
But just then, a different sound reverberated through the deep sea from behind.
“Shooter” surprisingly activated.
“Sure enough, you are not a True Personality Mask either.” Shooter, although bound by chains, stared fixedly at the Holy Lord.
The Six Dragons Sect followers and Xiang Shan were hard because their prosthetic bodies weren’t specifically configured to defend against a sound field of this magnitude. From the start, cyber martial arts have focused primarily on “dodging” firearms. Their prosthetic bodies can defend against most conventional weapon aftermath adequately. Ultrasonic waves directly rattled nerve cells, resulting in temporary incapacitation.
But a Pseudo-personality Mask, which doesn’t have nerve cells—simply an AI—wasn’t included in this.
“If the previous story is true, then you, like , are equivalent to an ‘Avatar’ Pseudo-personality Mask.” Shooter said.
“And what if so?” the Holy Lord unexpectedly sank downward without moving actively. He questioned Shooter: “Ready for mutual destruction?”
And at this mont, the whale opened its mouth.
Under the terrifying water flow, Xiang Shan was swallowed by the whale.
Then, the whale opened its mouth wider, swallowing a large amount of seawater at once.
At this mont, the Holy Lord also confird one thing.
This whale has undergone prosthetic modifications.
The pressurized seawater swallowed by the whale was actually spraying out from openings on both sides of its body. This structure was very close to that of cartilaginous fish subgroup creatures like sharks and was impossible to appear on whales. This structure couldn’t have naturally evolved in two hundred years, but was finely designed.
Several mini fish launched from Six Dragons Sect warriors. After consciousness disconnect, the AI took over the prosthetic body, attacking the closest non-friendly moving object. But these mini torpedoes could only deliver knock-downs, imbalance effects. They blasted several wounds on the whale, but for this giant, these wounds were only slightly more serious than “skin cracking.”
This is a supportive weapon aid at cyber warriors. Its lethality against whales might not asure up to harpoons.
The Holy Lord and Shooter faced off.
Until the whale departed, the Six Dragons sect mbers regained consciousness.
Kanhara Shinhara looked at the Holy Lord. The Holy Lord then reached out his hand: “Daughter, give a hand, or I’ll sink.”
