"The sky is full of mutant winged demons! There’s a massive number! We need to accelerate..." Monica’s cool voice sounded over the communication channel, immediately drowned out by the more terrifying roar of the waves.

Boom! Splash——!

A heavy blast echoed from the lower deck! Ah Bai’s voice seemed choked but then tore through the next second: "They’re here! Underwater! A large group, moving fast! There are too many!" Before he finished speaking, his eyes lit up with high-energy lasers, like two crimson swords, stabbing fiercely toward the rolling black oil-like sea surface below! Where the light beam swept through, the seawater instantly evaporated into large patches of scorching white steam, and a dozen or so abnormal bodies, resembling spears with giant fish eyes and wide transparent wing membranes, were directly pierced and vaporized upon emerging from the water!

"Telekinesis field! Hold on!!" KIKI’s voice, cold and proud, rose amidst the gale, her and Ryuji’s figures flickering at the edge of the ship’s belly, both arms extended, faces pale as paper, temple nerves throbbing! Two invisible yet extremely tough spiritual force fields forced open, like a massive invisible net, confronting the flying fish shoal sprayed out like high-pressure water gun! Transparent flying fish collided with the force field, emitting dense muffled "thump thump thump" sounds, their speed suddenly decreased, and the hard bone spears and membranous wings struck with massive impact ripples! The dense collisions made KIKI and Ryuji involuntarily frown.

The numbers increased more and more, like precision bullets shot from the sea bottom, starting to pour out densely.

"Our mark is becoming clearer, these are all abnormal bodies capable of high-speed pursuit of us, we must accelerate, possibly something bigger is coming." KIKI said while controlling the telekinesis field over the communication frequency.

"Sha Sha, speed up, don’t worry about anything, break the sound barrier!" On the main bridge, Lin Xian made a decisive decision.

The storm is fraught with danger, a slight carelessness could lead to irreversible catastrophe, yet under such circumstances, there’s no room for stability, the sooner we leave the storm’s center, the farther away from danger we get.

Sha Sha nodded, directly pushing the control lever, adjusting the parameters, the Sky Dome Train accelerated once again in the air at this moment!

"Firepower coverage!!" Ning Jing’s roar erupted in the artillery channel of the bridge!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Triple Rail Shock Star Cannon let out thunder-like roars, thick projectile bullets drilled into the storm and fish shoal with a wave-breaking shock, blasting a blood mist of foul meat chunks! The scorching plasma plasma cannon, like a lava spear, crazily strafed the winged demon group approaching at near distance, each explosive burn scorching a section of demonic shadows! Dense plasma beams woven into a web of destruction, precisely picking off the fish slipping through the telekinesis field! An even denser, eardrum-shattering explosion roared from the uppers deck—1130 Close Defense Cannon system entered its highest firing rate! The all-invading metal storm ripped apart any living entities nearing the ship’s hull, shell casings fell like torrential rain into the surging sea below!

The whole world was left only with the symphony of destruction—firepower across the sky, lasers crossing, wing demons screeching, flying fish accumulating spikes, the telekinesis barrier groaning and trembling under heavy pressure, gale howling like a roaring deity! The Sky Dome Train transformed into a blood-soaked charging metal beast, all weapons spewing anger, desperately tearing at the death curtain from both sky and sea!

The communication channel quieted down at this moment.

Every collision, every explosion caused the giant ship’s body to tremble violently, metal twisted and wailed mixed in with the deafening noise of battle, like the last roar of a dying wild beast! Everyone clenched their teeth.

No knowing how long it was, seemingly sinking into an infinite dark quagmire, the violent wind sound gradually faded amidst the screeching friction of the shield.

Fire sounds became sparse, eventually leaving only a couple of unwilling muffled sounds. The ink-black water wall rolling outside the porthole slowly stained into a muddy dark yellow, then slowly transitioned to a comforting, though still gray, faint lead-gray tinted with thin daylight. The colossal cyclone wind wall that ground earth and sky into chaos had been left far behind by the Sky Dome Train.

Inside the ship, the explosive alarm sounds ceased, though the sharp smell of scorched burn and the hot ion atmosphere hadn’t yet dissipated, the apocalypse-like oppression had already ebbed away, the sizzling overheat of the gun barrels, the occasional "zzzla" electric sounds of light bulbs, became the only noises amidst the sudden arrival of the vast silence.

Everyone maintained the tense pressure, as if just surfaced from struggling deep underwater, greedily breathing air that’s no longer scorching but not fresh either.

"We’ve left the cyclone."

"We’re still at Secondary Level mark!"

"It’s alright." Lin Xian removed the Power Armor Mask, sweaty forehead, directly ordering Viola: "Disperse and release lures, coordinate with tactical extermination while moving out of the Storm Zone, shouldn’t attract any big fellows."

[Viola understands, presetting ’fishing’ plan.]

"Phew~"

Sha Sha exhaled, directly leaning back into her chair, reluctantly saying: "That was too intense, saw a lot of monster shadows in the storm, luckily didn’t crash head-on."

On the Sky Bridge, the heat subsided, Monica turned her head to look at the gradually departing black sea area, the sky at this moment slowly clearing, with only the low hum of the giant engine maintaining stable cruise, like a heartbeat, in the vast silence following the calamity’s survival, strongly yet gently pulsating.

The storm had finally been left behind.
