Dragon Clan: Thought So Far

The dense array system rising from the bottom of the deck rotated the muzzle at high speed, the dazzling fire was like a steel dragon breathing out breath, bullets flew, and the gunshots were as deafening as thunder.

This was a premeditated metal storm. When Henkel and his children created this cruise ship, they forged it to the level of warships during World War II. The armor thickness of nearly 50 mm made the Apollo comparable to the destroyers during World War II.

It is no exaggeration to say that it was a metal storm. Eight 61A1 Gatling guns fired armor-piercing shells at a high rate of 4,500 rounds per minute at the same time. After the bullets were fired, they spread into a towering net, and the net screamed towards the mythical monster.

The armor-piercing shells were mixed with a large number of tracer bullets. Each heavy machine gun was like a sun rising on the deck, projecting bright and sharp light to the monster that was swaying and sticking its head out of the ocean.

Countless bullets hit the pale scales of the Yamata no Orochi, and bright sparks jumped. The men and women on the deck who were responsible for defense had prepared noise-reducing earplugs in advance, but they still had to press their ears hard at this moment.

The bullets fired by the Phalanx system every minute were as expensive as burning gold. It was the most powerful kinetic weapon in human history except for the Sword of Scourge system. The thunderous gunshots made people feel as if they were in two thunderstorms colliding with each other, and they only regretted that their eardrums were too thin.

For any destroyer or any other modern warship in service, the so-called Phalanx system is nothing more than a short-term firepower dump of the close-in defense gun.

If the enemy's ship-borne missiles are so numerous that the close-in defense gun needs to fire continuously for dozens of minutes, there is no need for defense.

Even the most advanced Phalanx system does not have a 100% probability of intercepting missiles faster than sound, and saturation strikes can easily break through this layer of defense.

No country will prepare tons of ammunition for the close-in defense gun of a warship, and at this time, material science is not enough to support the barrel for long-term high-speed continuous firing.

However, the original design of the Apollo was not intended for modern naval warfare with a certain country. In fact, when the shipyard received the design drawings of the Apollo from the Royal Caribbean Cruise Company, it once suspected that the head of the private enterprise was crazy.

Because they simply wanted to transform this large ship used for sightseeing and entertainment into a weakened version of a postmodern battleship.

The ammunition equipped by the eight Gatling guns in the ammunition compartment exceeds ten tons all year round. When installing the dense array system, Henkel also invited several contemporary great alchemy masters. Their task is to replace the barrels of these machine guns destined to fight against those large sea monsters in the unknown field, from materials to workmanship, and even engraved a large number of alchemy matrices.

Countless preparations allow each machine gun to work continuously for more than twenty minutes without exploding due to overheating and red barrels.

The moment the gunshots ended, everyone's ears were buzzing as if they were stuffed with ten thousand bees.

But the snake head that covered the sky like a mountain has disappeared, and the whole world is so silent that only the sound of the rolling tide can be heard.

The oncoming sea breeze brought the smoke produced by the launch of the Metal Storm through the broken glass of the restaurant, choking people.

The dreamlike aurora flickered at the end of the sky within sight. Zero had experienced far more than Nono imagined. She realized that the ship had just briefly experienced a huge and boundless Nibelungen, which was completely intertwined with reality, so the ocean still looked like that sea.

The god who only showed up briefly threw his spear and used it to lead the Apollo through the Nibelungen to another signpost.

The distant aurora is the land of the dead of God.

Odin may not even have really arrived, but he has done everything he wanted to do.

Looking back from this direction, the magnificent city of Tokyo has been submerged in the sea water. The blue waves are swimming towards Tokyo under the dark water. It is obvious that millions of ghost tooth vipers are grinding their teeth and sucking blood, eager to rush into the city full of flesh and blood to feast.

The reason why Ling can recognize the unrecognizable Tokyo is actually because of the Tokyo Skytree in the distance that is lit up.

After accompanying Lu Mingfei to meet his uncle and aunt in the Grand Kitchen restaurant, Ling's original intention was to go directly back to the Peninsula Hotel in Tokyo, but in a blink of an eye, he saw the silent Lu Mingfei. The child's face was still the arrogant expression when he left the restaurant, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes. Ling then changed his mind temporarily, and she said, let's drive around the city.

So before going back that night, Lu Mingfei acted as a driver and drove the rather expensive Rolls-Royce Phantom to stroll around Tokyo at night.

Looking back, it was also a rainy day. The streets were empty at night in the drizzling rain, and the puddles on the streets were full of ripples.

The lighting system of Tokyo Skytree also began to be tested on that day. At the end of the long street, the puddles were slightly rippled, and the white Tokyo Skytree was reflected in the water, which was as beautiful as a mirage.

But the time left for the princess to reminisce was running out.

Someone shouted in fear above their heads. In the diffuse smoke, the man standing on the bridge, half of his body leaning out and waving his hand was just a vague shadow.

He was shouting in Spanish, "Sea! Sea! Sea!"

There is no monster named Sea in this world, because that is too crazy. The only thing on earth that can completely destroy human beings is the ocean, a natural force.

After just a moment of daze, everyone rushed to the huge terrace at the end of the restaurant and looked down. The blue light illuminated the eyes of these people and the fear in their eyes.

"Oh my God..." someone whispered.

Layers of black waves swept in from all directions and hit the steel hull of the Apollo, making a thunderous sound. The black waves were carrying blue fish, and when those fish poked their heads out of the water, they spit out dagger-like fangs.

At some point, the number of ghost-toothed dragon vipers far exceeded that of the Takama-ga-hara in the Abyss, which had surrounded the ship. They followed the ancient second-generation White King, the real Yamata-no-Orochi Izanagi, to bring destruction and punishment to this world.

But what really frightened people was not the subspecies that could even bite steel, but a huge shadow illuminated by thousands of viperfish. It was so huge and ferocious that it almost looked like it was carrying the 100,000-ton Sun God on the suddenly violent ocean.

The front end of the black shadow suddenly rose slowly, and eight dragon-like and snake-like giant heads raised waves that covered the sky and the sun. The red-gold snake pupils were as bright as gas lamps and large enough to reflect the figures of people looking up at it on the deck.

Its scales were pale and metallic, and the firepower of the dense array system that could even crush a heavy tank in an instant was completely unable to cause any harm to this god who was far superior to Susanoo.

Pairs of golden pupils swept across the deck, and everyone who was stared at by it felt like they were falling into the abyss, and the biting cold made their bones tremble.

Zero's face was cold, and he wondered if this thing was really a creature that could be born on Earth?

The Kojiki and Nihonshoki record that the Yamata no Orochi has eight heads and eight tails, which can fill eight valleys and eight hills. Originally, with Zero's knowledge of the dragon race, he thought that no giant species would hatch its dragon body to such a huge extent, but the monster in front of him seemed to be just as described in the myth.

Just from the divergence of the eight heads in the front part of the whale-like abdomen, the length of this demon is far longer than the Atlantic Apollo cruise ship, and the giant ship under them is 300 meters long!

The golden giant pupils that swept back and forth seemed to have finally found Eri, who was protected by Xia Mi behind her. It immediately became excited, and the snake pupils revealed aggressive murderous intent and greed.

A monster as huge as a mountain showed a human greedy look. Even if you hold a rocket launcher in your hand and a dense array system that quickly cools down and starts to rotate the muzzle at high speed next to you, you will still feel a chill in your spine.

Huge snake heads extended from all directions to the top of the deck, casting shadows larger than vans, as if the icebergs on the sea were slowly dragging the entire Atlantic Sun God into the dark abyss.

A heart-pounding strange sound echoed on the cruise ship, which was the sound made when the metal hull was twisted and deformed.

The whole ship was filled with the hissing sound from the mouth of the Yamata no Orochi, and the cold wind carried the strong fishy smell of the monster from top to bottom to different cabins. The huge, pale scales swayed in the wind like scallops in the ocean current, and then snapped together from seven inches down to make a metallic roar.

The deepest part of the Sun God, the guests who had been resting in the cabin did not know what had happened, but they still felt terrified, as if they were being stared at by evil spirits in hell, and could not help but hold the weapons within reach in their palms.

Those huge snake heads exchanged dangerous glances in the air, and the cold and majestic breath was like a downpour.

Then, an incredibly large tail rolled up a huge wave tens of meters high, broke through the azure sea, and landed heavily on the deck of the Apollo.

Two machine guns controlled by the Phalanx system and the ammunition compartments below the machine guns were destroyed in this fierce attack. A landslide-like explosion came from the bottom of the snake's belly, followed by orange-yellow flames extending forward and backward along both sides of the snake's belly.

At least more than 20 fully armed North American hybrids with bloodline levels above B were crushed to pieces by the huge snake belly whose diameter alone exceeded that of a sperm whale, and the strong smell of gunpowder hit them in the face.

Nono's pupils shrank slightly. She saw that the bride who was holding up her skirt and biting a strand of hair between her teeth and rushing onto the deck with a weapon in hand was also among the group of people who were killed.

The groom wailed in pain, and the powerful shotgun in his hand roared after being modified, as if holding thunder in his hand, but the bullets could not even leave a bullet mark on the pale scales, but only made a buzzing sound of metal collision, leaving a series of dense sparks.

Then the end of the long tail connected to the snake belly broke through the water from the other side of the ship and fell heavily on the deck. The huge snake belly tightened and buried the groom.

This was really a shocking and terrifying scene. The giant snake, which had not yet fully revealed its full appearance, was wrapping around the Atlantic Sun God in circles.

You should know that the length of this ship is more than 300 meters, and the width is more than 35 meters. Even among cruise ships, the Sun God is definitely a behemoth.

But the Yamata no Orochi could easily wrap around the front half of the entire cruise ship, and the sound of the scales rubbing against the metal hull was huge and harsh.

During this process, the defense system of the Atlantic Sun God has been pouring ammunition on the giant beast that seems to have walked out of hell, but no matter whether it is the 20mm caliber bullets fired by the Phalanx close-in defense system or the 60mm caliber shells fired by the M224 mortar moved to the sea, or even the alchemical torpedoes fired at close range underwater, they can't cause even a trace of damage to the Yamata no Orochi.

Compared with Izanagi who appeared in Tokyo Bay, Susanoo who was killed by Lu Mingfei in the Red Well is like a second-generation species that has not yet reached adulthood.

The young man named Tang Sen was still calm at this time. He was placing the personnel evacuated from the deck in the restaurant. He looked back at Zero who was shrouded in gunpowder smoke, and felt that this girl was really crazy. Why is she pretending to be so arrogant at this time?

"Hey, the little girl with platinum hair, are you an adult? Go outside?" This guy rushed to Zero in two steps and grabbed Zero's hood and pulled her back from the broken window glass.

The princess stared at the man behind her with her golden eyes, but Tang Sen just stuffed her into Nuo Nuo's arms.

"Anyone on this ship can get into trouble, but you must not encounter any danger." Tang Sen said.

"What are you going to do?" Nuo Nuo asked.

Tang Sen did not hesitate: "My words are deep blood, and I happen to know some forbidden techniques to improve bloodline. If that thing wants to eat you later, I will jump into its mouth to refine bloodline and poison it to death."

The sequence number of the deep blood's words is only 47, and the effect is also useless. It makes your blood carry a poison that can kill even pure-blooded dragons, but once the blood is inactivated, the toxicity will disappear in a short time.

In the past, there was a cannibal who had been on the run for many years in the forest of Romania. This guy was unlucky and caught a senior brother who was out on a mission from Kassel College, and ate one of the senior brother's legs alive.

As a result, the elder brother's words were deep blood. When the rescue team found the ogre, he was using herbs to stop the bleeding of his wound. The ogre was already dead, and all the muscle tissue and organs in his body had dissolved, leaving only the nervous system attached to the bones. The scene was so horrifying that institutions like Kassel Academy were unwilling to leave a photo in the textbook.

Nono was stunned for a moment, and Tang Sen had passed them by and came to the vicinity of the huge snake's belly.

The pale scales slowly tightened in front of the man. He stood firm against the wall, and his body seemed to make a sound of ice cracking.

He didn't seem to be bragging. If it came to that, the young man might really jump into the mouth of the Yamata no Orochi and try to kill the ancient god with his own blood.

Eight huge snake heads swayed back and forth in all directions of the restaurant. They hissed excitedly, but hesitated and did not attack.

"It's me and Constantine." Xia Mi frowned slightly, "It's not sure whether it can... kill us."

Eri huddled in Xia Mi's arms, the girl's pupils were so bright that they were frightening. She was terrified, trembling slightly with fear, and felt the echo of hell ringing in all directions, that echo saying "I found you" "I found you"

"I found you!" (End of this chapter)
