CHAPTER 371: CHAPTER 238: HEADING TO THE PACIFIC! I, JIANG TIAN, AM BACK! _2

Perhaps, with Freedom Country setting the tone, some citizens might even start to resent their own sons for going into space. People’s hearts can flip in an instant. Having lived for nearly fifty years, she naturally understood this.

"Mom, don’t worry, your son is very strong."

On the screen, the Deep Sea Avenger had already begun to battle a Sixth Rank Mutant Beast. Every piece of its mecha’s musculature roared like an internal combustion engine, and sparks flew from its joints as if agitated by thunder.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ocean howled, wave after wave, incessantly surging. All the helicopters had increased their altitude to avoid being affected by the battle.

The Deep Sea Avenger took a step. Its hand clenched and released, and a huge hook shot out, deeply embedding itself into the Mutant Beast’s flesh. Like a fisherman, it yanked the creature straight out of the water.

Blood sprayed, turning a large expanse of the sea crimson.

"Even though it’s not the first time I’ve seen the Deep Sea Avenger fight, every time is still so thrilling it’s uncontrollable! This kind of battle is a man’s true romance. If only I could become a Mecha Master too!"

"See! This is the foundation of our Freedom Country! Only we possess a mecha like the Deep Sea Avenger. What about Xia Country’s so-called Wang Tianren? Although he can also kill Sixth Rank Mutant Beasts, is his speed as fast as this? Besides, in the Pacific Ocean, what Mutant Beast would fight you one-on-one? The deeper one ventures, the more likely they are to be ambushed. Apart from Freedom Country’s mecha, who else could enter? Who else would dare?"

"Exactly! The two Celestials of Xia Country—one hides in the palace, the other fled to space. To save Xuanxing, we still have to rely on our Freedom Country. We absolutely cannot allow these Mutant Beasts to continue to proliferate and develop. The unification of Xuanxing is imperative!"

"In the sea, we have the Deep Sea Avenger, and in the sky, we have the Sky Patrol Hunting God. Both genetics and mecha technology are advancing, while Martial Arts have already reached their limit. Xia Country’s Martial Arts have only six realms, that’s all. Even if that Jiang Tian is exceptionally talented, can he create something from nothing, conjuring the next step out of thin air?"

"Enough talk! We in Freedom Country can’t even detect the presence of life near Xuanxing. Who knows, maybe this Jiang Tian died long ago in the vastness of the universe. Traversing the cosmos with a physical body? What a joke! Only those fools in Xia Country would believe such a thing!"

Online, netizens from Freedom Country watching the live broadcast began to open champagne in celebration, bombarding the stream with comments.

In the Pacific, the Deep Sea Avenger grew fiercer with each battle, swiftly dispatching three Fifth Rank Mutant Beasts.

Inside the cockpit, Konos’s spiritual power surged as he effortlessly shifted the mecha’s posture. To him, killing three Fifth Rank Mutant Beasts didn’t even count as a warm-up!

His gaze was sharp. He made an adjustment and plunged the mecha into the seabed.

Several specially crafted submarines maintained their distance, following Konos directly towards the Pacific Heaven and Earth Secret Realm.

「In a live broadcasting room」

A blonde host inside one of the submarines began her introduction: "The Heaven and Earth Secret Realm in the Pacific is currently the secret realm on Xuanxing emitting the strongest energy readings, and the stability of its passages is extremely unpredictable."

"We are now following the great War God Konos, following the Deep Sea Avenger, to the outskirts of the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm to investigate. Let’s see just how many powerful Mutant Beasts are lurking in the depths of the Pacific."

The host’s voice was filled with confidence. Compared to other netizens, she was witnessing the Deep Sea Avenger’s might up close. There wasn’t a single Sixth Rank Mutant Beast that could last more than five minutes under its onslaught. Although these Mutant Beasts didn’t seem as powerful as the Orochi from six months ago. But the Deep Sea Avenger still hadn’t used its full power. It hadn’t even used its Laser Cannon.

"This is the power of mecha! This is the strength of technology! This is the foundation of our Freedom Country! No matter how powerful the Mutant Beasts are, in front of our Deep Sea Avenger, they are just like ordinary beasts. Even without relying on projectile weapons, our mecha can completely overwhelm and kill them.

"Soon, our great Freedom Country will be able to domesticate them and fully develop the largest Heaven and Earth Secret Realm on Xuanxing. We will lead all those who cherish freedom towards the universe to seek more Life Planets.

"We will cross the stars! We intend to colonize planets!

"The future belongs to Freedom Country, and it also belongs to you—celebrate!"

The blonde host grew increasingly excited as she spoke, her enthusiasm causing even her ample bosom to heave. In the Pacific, the Deep Sea Avenger indeed displayed unparalleled might.

Previously, it was piloted by a Fifth Rank Genetic War God and its full potential couldn’t be utilized. But now that Konos had become a Sixth Rank Genetic War God, his personal strength alone was not inferior to an ordinary Sixth Rank Mutant Beast. Paired with this mecha, the pinnacle of Freedom Country’s technology, he truly felt capable of slaying gods and buddhas alike.

He now believed himself to be the strongest single combat entity on the entirety of Xuanxing. No other living being could compare to him. Even the so-called Jiang Shu, who could supposedly traverse the universe with his physical body, wouldn’t last ten minutes against him, in his opinion! How could mere human flesh possibly compare to metals rare even in the universe? Martial Arts were bound to be swept into the dustbin of history. Xuanxing was bound to belong to Freedom Country. And he, Konos, was destined to become the new god heralding Freedom Country’s ascendance! War God? That title isn’t grand enough! Once this operation is over, he will declare to the world that he is not a War God—he is a Heavenly God!

With Konos and the Deep Sea Avenger leading the way, the several submarines following behind were extremely safe.

In just half a day, the Pacific had almost turned into a sea of blood.

Solely through the camera feeds from several live streams, netizens tallied that the Deep Sea Avenger had killed a total of three Sixth Rank Mutant Beasts and eighteen Fifth Rank Mutant Beasts.

This number was terrifying. First, it was terrifying to think that so many Mutant Beasts lurked in the Pacific. Second, it was terrifying that the Deep Sea Avenger, despite engaging in over twenty battles, still seemed to possess peak combat strength, showing no signs of energy depletion whatsoever.

"This mecha from Freedom Country truly is something else!"

「On the sofa」

Jiang Yongyi, who had been watching television for a long time, couldn’t help but click his tongue in amazement. He couldn’t help but wonder if he could defeat this Deep Sea Avenger if he fully mastered the Crane Longevity Fist his son had taught him.

"Dad, dinner’s ready. You can watch more later."

From the kitchen, Jiang Shu, who had been assisting his mother, called out as he brought the food to the table. He casually picked up the dish he had cooked, served some to his parents and Ye Zhenzhen with his chopsticks, and said while eating, "Dad, Mom, I have something to discuss. I see the Deep Sea Avenger is about to reach the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm in the Pacific."

"Our Xia Country has made no move so far, which means it has chosen to temporarily avoid the confrontation. But just because Xia Country chooses to avoid it doesn’t mean I will."

"Moreover, from another perspective, the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm is also the place richest in resources. Martial Arts Cultivation is inseparable from resources. So, I must make a trip there."

"Don’t you two worry. The New Year is approaching, and I’ll definitely be back before then."

"I absolutely must be the one to cook New Year’s Eve dinner this year!"

In front of his parents, Jiang Shu was all smiles, showing no hint of the demeanor of a Furnace Fire Realm Cultivator. Only after he had cheered up his parents and cleared away all the dishes did he open the door.

This time, however, he didn’t use his spiritual power to conceal his movements, appearing openly. He knew, given his family’s special circumstances, that every corner outside their house was likely being watched by countless eyes.

Sure enough, merely two seconds later, a message was instantly transmitted to Shengjing. It consisted of six incredibly brief words.

「Jiang Tian has returned.」
