Chapter 431: A War between the Humans and the Demons
As the warships got turned upside down, countless crewmen of the US navy dropped into the water to be fed to the sea monster.
Not even the cultivators that came with the navy were able to survive. Many of them intended to take flight and escape, but sea monsters leaped one after another from the surface of the ocean. They then gulped down all those cultivators who came with the US navy on the spot.
Many watched the scenes unfold with their mouths left agape.
There was no doubt that what happened was not a battle, but a brutal one-sided slaughter.
It was a ma.s.sacre of humans carried out by the demons.
The relationship between humans and demons became the focus of many around the world because of Lu Xuan.
The topic of whether or not humans could coexist with demons had always been mentioned in headlines of papers.
All manner of supporters were seen from both sides.
With that new video uploaded to the internet, supporters of the notion that only one intelligent race could live on the planet had no doubt gained more evidence to support their argument.
The way those sea monsters slaughtered the US navy crewmen greatly shocked countless people.
With even the elite naval forces of the American military being utterly useless against the endless horde of sea monsters, the chances of regular folks surviving were no doubt small.
It was especially so given that there were countless creatures under the surface of the oceans. No one could truly tell how many regular creatures underneath had become ferocious beasts.
Regarding the number of creatures living in the sea, it would be at least tens to over a hundred times greater than that on land.
One could only wonder just how frightening it would be for such a ma.s.sive number of regular creatures in the sea evolving into ferocious beasts.
Even so, no one would ever know the answer.
Even the number of tightly packed monsters seen on the videos alone suggested that would be many of them. Such numbers would render many people speechless and terrified.
One could only wonder if humans would actually be able to clean up that many monsters. The firepower that the Atlantic Fleet of the US gathered in the first place was deemed utterly terrifying in the human world.
However, such tremendously terrifying firepower was still not enough for them to take out any of those sea monsters.
The Atlantic Fleet of the US was not the only naval force against such terrifying odds. All of the other naval forces from France, England, and Spain were completely slaughtered as soon as they got within that region of the ocean.
It was as if all of those sea monsters were gathering their forces to protect the nearby fissure.
“These sea monsters seem pretty organized. Someone must be commanding them!”
Many people soon realized that much. The way the sea monsters acted suggested that someone was indeed commanded them after all.
One by one, the species of various sea monsters were identified by many people. Some lived in Australian waters, while others were from the Pacific Ocean.
Currently, all of those monsters were seen appearing in the Atlantic Ocean; that could not have been possible if no one was pulling the strings from behind the scenes.
Those who were watching what happened on the internet immediately grew even more frightened.
However, another video was uploaded to the internet in that simmering panic from those who watched what was going on.
Countless sea monsters were seen circling and protecting the fissure in the raging seas. They looked as if they were protecting something.
It did not take long for a missile to appear with a long trail of exhaust behind it. A rumble was heard shortly afterward. A mushroom cloud was seen rising from the surface of the ocean right away. Boundless light and heat instantly washed all over the place.
Someone was using nuclear weapons.
The ones who were doing that were none other than the Americans.
The US government finally had enough of seeing so many sea monsters wipe out the Atlantic Fleet. As a result, the officials resorted to using nuclear bombs.
It was obvious that the US government was indeed infuriated over what happened.
Several more nuclear bombs were dropped while many were still reeling from the shock of seeing the first ones being deployed. However, it was not the Americans using them this time, but the English and the French instead.
Those two that were considered among the big five still took action despite constantly being called the runts of the big five.
Even so, those two nations had shown what developed nations were capable of once the decision was finally made.
The place was carpet-bombed by nuclear munitions. Countless sea monsters were shredded and vaporized near that fissure. The speed at which the sea monsters moved clearly was not on par with flying ent.i.ties.
Some of the more powerful sea monsters noticed that something was off and evaded at once, but the same could not be said for the rest of them.
According to incomplete statistics, those nuclear bombs had destroyed at least over a million of the sea monsters that had gathered in the region.
It was usually rather uncommon for a battle to result in this. Since all those sea monsters were gathered around the fissure to protect it, however, the result of the battle was nothing short of astonishing.
Many people all around the world decided to celebrate right away, Regardless of how terrifying those sea monsters were, they were still no match for nuclear bombs.
The corpse of a ferocious beast had surfaced. Measuring over 100 meters in length, it was no smaller than a hill. According to the experts, that monster was most probably a king among the cuttlefish that became such a monster after being mutated by spirit qi.
The monster was much stronger than those at the Divine Treasure Realm, yet it was still bombed to death by nuclear weapons.
None of those monsters had decent intelligence to speak of, so they were driven only by instincts.
However, the intellectual capacity of humans gave them an advantage over the sea monsters.
However, the sea monsters retaliated before the humans were able to celebrate for long.
Countless terrifying eyes appeared from under the sea before an American naval base.
Various weirdly-shaped sea monsters were then seen emerging from the sea. Those sea monsters did not seem to be the types who were capable of living on land, yet the spirit qi that was responsible for their mutations gave them legs. That was what allowed them to live on land.
An American soldier watched in utter terror as the sea monsters emerged before the base in seemingly endless numbers.
“Oh my G.o.d, what are those things?” Someone cried out right away.
Alarms instantly blared all over the naval base.
The forces guarding the base fired at those sea monsters right away.
However, the counterattack proved useless against the sea monsters. Creatures with weird scales growing all over them were found at the very forefront of the march of sea monsters.
Conventional munitions were unable to do more than shooting up sparks on the scales all over the monsters’ bodies.
The naval base was quickly overtaken by the countless sea monsters. Not only did they ruthlessly slaughter every single living being they found in the naval base, but they also sank every ship in sight.
Those sea monsters moved as if they were under someone’s command, which proceeded to wreck the entire US naval base.
Meanwhile, the same thing was taking place along the sh.o.r.elines of the Atlantic Ocean. Military bases and even coastal cities of many countries were under attack by those monsters.
All those bases and cities were under attack by an extremely ma.s.sive number of monsters emerging out of the ocean, which all had surprisingly mutated into amphibian creatures.
Some watched as a ma.s.sive giant squid made its way into New York and tore down that towering Statue of Liberty right away.
All of New York City was thrown into b.l.o.o.d.y carnage.
