Qin Yu kicked open the special steel hatch leading to the main deck.
An icy, frigid wind instantly rushed in, carrying shards of ice that stung painfully against his face.
"Crack, crack, crack—"
The dark golden S-Class Liquid Armor on the outer layer of the President actually emitted a teeth-grating sound of freezing.
The entire sea surface had completely transformed.
The once turbulent black ocean had now frozen into a vast, dead expanse of white ice.
There were no clouds in the sky.
Only crisscrossing black Spatial Rifts, like spiderwebs, crawled across the entire horizon.
"Boom!"
An extremely deep, muffled roar erupted directly from the depths of the ocean floor.
It wasn't thunder.
It was the sound of the world's continental plates being forcibly torn apart!
"Brother-in-law! The Radar is off the charts!"
Yao Qian frantically hammered the keyboard in the cockpit, her voice trembling with tears.
"The underlying code in the waters ahead is completely scrambled! Spatial coordinates are overlapping!"
"The sky is splitting open!"
Qin Yu raised his head, narrowing his eyes.
The dark night sky was suddenly torn open by a massive gash tens of thousands of meters long.
A crimson Garbled Data Stream poured down from the rift like a waterfall.
Where it struck the ice, eerie cold flames instantly ignited.
The world was collapsing, mountains shaking and earth quaking.
"Cornered dog will leap over the wall."
Qin Yu sneered, casually tugging at the collar of his trench coat.
"Bro! I can't hold on!"
In mid-air, Qi Chun's Floating Fortress shook violently.
"The magnetic field in this damn place is draining my energy like crazy! The Shield is down to ten percent!"
Qi Chun roared hoarsely.
"The Area Anti-Magic Chain is in effect!"
Yao Xue rushed onto the deck carrying a medical kit, her high heels crunching on the frozen steel plates.
She yanked open the medical kit and threw several Anti-Freeze Serums emitting a red glow to everyone.
"All energy sources above S-Class have their output forcibly locked at ten percent."
Yao Xue's expression was grave.
"Even my Cellular Reassembly Platform has shut down."
"Roar—!"
At that moment, an ear-splitting roar came from beneath the ice.
The sound penetrated hundreds of meters of solid ice, causing the President's massive hull to lurch violently to one side.
"There's something below!"
Chen Xiaoya clung tightly to the railing, pointing at the transparent ice ahead of the bow.
Through the ice, one could clearly see.
Countless enormous shadows, dozens of meters long, were frantically surging toward the surface like mad dogs.
They had no complete form.
They were all stitched together from the severed limbs of various deep-sea aberrant monsters, covered in nauseating tumors and fangs.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The hard ice layer shattered instantly.
Dozens of Stitched Aberrations, covered in ice shards, leaped out of the sea, opening their bloody maws to pounce onto the President's deck!
"Seeking death!"
Li Ruobing shouted fiercely.
She abruptly activated her Exoskeleton Armor, grabbed the SS-Class Berserker Pipe Wrench, and swung it forward to meet them.
"Clang!"
A crisp sound rang out.
Li Ruobing was thrown back three steps by the massive recoil, landing hard on her backside on the deck.
"How is this possible?!"
Li Ruobing stared wide-eyed at the dimly glowing pipe wrench in her hand.
Normally capable of piercing an A-grade warship in a single strike, the SS-grade weapon smashed against the monster's head without even leaving a white mark!
"Honey! The weapon's lost its kinetic energy!" Li Ruobing gritted her teeth.
"It's the Regional Rule of Ninety Percent Power Reduction!"
Elena charged onto the deck with several dozen Valkyries.
"All units! Tactical formation!"
"High-Frequency Rifles, concentrate fire on their eyes!"
Elena raised her S-class mechanical arm, transforming it into a Large-Caliber Kinetic Cannon.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A dense web of fire instantly blanketed the group of aberrations.
But.
As the sparks faded.
Not only were the monsters unharmed, they were enraged.
Bullets weakened by ninety percent felt like mere tickles against their bodies.
"Rip—"
One monster violently swung its barb-covered tentacle.
Three Valkyries at the forefront were directly flung back, crashing heavily against the bulkhead, blood spurting from their mouths.
"Boss! Our firepower can't penetrate at all!"
Elena's eyes reddened as she drew her Tactical Dagger, ready to charge into close combat.
"Everyone, fall back!"
Qin Yu roared angrily.
Striding past everyone, he walked directly to the very front of the bow.
Alone, he faced dozens of frenzied Deep-Sea Aberrations.
"System Executor!"
Qin Yu didn't look at the monsters but raised his head, glaring fixedly at the crimson rift in the sky.
"You're testing me with this kind of rotten garbage?"
"Who the hell do you think you're looking down on?!"
In the sky.
Those crimson codes suddenly began to twist and reorganize frantically.
Finally, they converged mid-air into an enormous, expressionless, blurred human face.
"Qin Yu."
An emotionless electronic synthesized voice exploded over the entire sea area.
Shaking the shattered ice on the sea surface into frantic leaps.
"This is the Absolute Zero Trench."
The face in the sky opened its mouth, its voice dripping with condescending mockery.
"Your vehicle, your weapons, your guards."
"Here, they're not even worth a pile of scrap iron."
"I don't even need to lift a finger myself. These Abyssal Bottom Scavengers can gnaw you down to the last bone."
The face abruptly drew closer to the sea surface, coldly delivering its verdict.
"Hand over the fragment, and I'll leave your corpse intact."
As soon as the words fell.
Beneath the ice layer, even more violent tremors erupted once more.
More aberrations burst through the ice, densely packed, hundreds upon thousands.
Like a wall of despairing flesh, completely surrounding the President.
The atmosphere on the entire deck instantly plummeted to freezing point.
The Valkyries clenched their jaws.
Li Ruobing gripped the pipe wrench tightly.
This was simply unwinnable.
Cannons couldn't penetrate, close combat couldn't withstand.
The rules were completely in the opponent's grasp.
This was a full-level powerhouse's dimensional strike on a beginner's village!
"Ha ha ha ha…"
Qin Yu suddenly laughed.
His laughter sounded extremely jarring on this desolate ice field.
"What are you laughing at?" the face in the sky asked coldly.
"I'm laughing at you for being an idiot hiding behind a screen."
Qin Yu stopped laughing.
His right hand shot toward his back.
"Hum!"
Space rippled violently.
A pitch-black, ferociously designed heavy Sniper Cannon was hauled out single-handedly by Qin Yu.
Netherworld: Death's Kiss.
Seeing this gun, the face in the sky let out a disdainful snort.
"Qin Yu, have you lost your mind?"
"All your high-energy weapons, their core power sources have been locked down by my Magic-Sealing Chains!"
"That broken gun in your hands can't even fire a single basic laser shot now!"
"Is that so?"
Qin Yu's eyes sharpened.
He gripped the gun with both hands, his thumb directly pressing a hidden switch on the side of the barrel.
Click.
A crisp sound.
"This gun of mine doesn't need electricity now."
BOOM—!!
A terrifying, extreme dark purple energy suddenly erupted from the chamber of [Kiss of Death]!
It was the pure spiritual energy compressed to its limits after over fourteen thousand S-Class High-Dimensional Embryos were shredded!
The dark purple light instantly illuminated the entire pitch-black ice field.
Even the crimson chaotic code in the sky began to twist and collapse under the illumination of this energy!
"Warning! Unknown high-dimensional energy source detected!"
"Warning! Regional underlying rules are being forcibly invaded!"
In the sky, that enormous human face instantly changed color.
Its originally mechanical voice finally revealed a trace of unconcealable panic.
"This is impossible! Where did you get an offline energy source?!"
"Those ten thousand embryos I just ate, you think I ate them for nothing?"
Qin Yu stepped onto the railing with one foot.
He aimed the thick barrel directly at the dense tide of aberrations ahead.
"Open your damn eyes wide and watch closely."
"This is what you call absolute firepower."
Without hesitation, Qin Yu pulled the trigger.
"Shipborne Form: Spiritual Energy Annihilation Cannon."
"Fire."
There was no deafening explosion of gunpowder.
Only a suffocating vacuum sonic boom.
A dark purple energy beam, a full ten meters in diameter, blasted out from the muzzle.
Wherever the beam passed.
There was no 90% reduction in power.
No suppression from Magic-Sealing Chains.
Because this energy did not belong to the System's Conventional Code Pool!
It was absolute destruction beyond the rules!
RUMBLE—!
The beam slammed into the most densely packed area of aberrations.
Space collapsed.
Everything within a thousand-meter radius.
Solid ice, seawater, air, and the thousands of roaring deep-sea monsters.
Upon contact with the dark purple beam.
Without even a chance to scream, they were forcibly erased.
Truly erased.
No flying flesh and blood, no severed limbs.
As if someone had taken an eraser and harshly wiped away a large section of the canvas.
On the sea surface, an absolute vacuum zone a hundred meters deep appeared.
"Hiss—"
On the deck.
Li Ruobing gasped sharply, the pipe wrench in her hand clattering to the ground.
Elena and the Valkyries behind her, their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Was this still a gun?
This was divine punishment!
Splash!
A few seconds later, the surrounding seawater violently rushed into the vacuum zone, creating waves dozens of meters high.
One shot.
Just one shot.
The first wave of the Death Beast Tide arranged by the System was completely wiped out, not even a speck remaining.
Beep beep beep beep—
In the sky, the code-formed human face began to flash frantically.
The data streams at its edges continuously collapsed.
"Qin Yu!!"
The face let out a hysterical roar, the entire sky violently shaking.
"You dare exploit the System's Underlying Vulnerability!"
"Vulnerability your ass!"
Qin Yu yanked the gun bolt.
With a click, a gravity shell emitting a terrifying faint glow was loaded into the chamber.
"You really think that by changing a few coordinates and throwing some worthless monsters around, you can play God from up high?"
Qin Yu slowly raised the barrel of his gun.
Directly aiming at the furious human face in the sky.
"I didn't come here today to play tower defense with you."
"I came to flip the table."
Bang!
Qin Yu pulled the trigger once more.
A high-energy armor-piercing shell, carrying a tenfold gravity field, shot straight into the sky, trailing dark purple flames.
The bullet struck the center of the forehead of the human face in midair with pinpoint accuracy.
Boom!
A violent gravity field instantly erupted.
The crimson streams of code data in the sky were violently dragged and torn apart by the tenfold gravity.
"Ahhh—!"
The face let out a piercing scream, directly disintegrating into a shower of light in midair.
"Brother-in-law! The signal from the System's High-Pressure Field has disappeared!"
Yao Qian shouted excitedly over the broadcast.
"You shot through the Area Anti-Magic Chain!"
As soon as her words fell.
The various lights on the President, which had gone dark, instantly reignited.
The wrench in Li Ruobing's hand once again erupted with a blinding, high-temperature red glow.
In midair.
Qi Chun's Floating Fortress shield also finished recharging.
"Damn! Finally, we can move!"
Qi Chun cursed wildly over the communicator.
"Bro! Kill that son of a bitch!"
However.
There was not the slightest hint of relief on Qin Yu's face.
He lowered his wrist, pressing the gun barrel down, and stared intently at the massive vacuum on the sea surface blasted open by his shot.
Although seawater had rushed back in.
The thick, solid ice that had originally sealed the sea surface was now completely shattered.
A bottomless, massive trench was slowly exposed before everyone.
This was the real Absolute Zero Trench.
The seawater here appeared a deathly, deep black.
No light could penetrate it.
Rumble! Rumble!
From deep underground, tremors ten times more violent than before erupted once again.
This time.
It felt as if the entire world was about to be overturned.
In the distance, the ice fields began collapsing on a massive scale, triggering tsunamis over a hundred meters high.
"Warning! Detected Core Code being forcibly rewritten!"
Yao Qian's voice had completely changed its tone.
"Brother-in-law! Radar has detected at the bottom... not one, but dozens of extremely terrifying energy sources!"
"They've already exceeded the S-Class detection upper limit!"
"They're rising at an extremely fast speed!"
Qin Yu let out a heavy breath.
He knew.
That last shot had only shattered the Executive Officer's appetizer.
The real, desperate final battle was only just beginning.
The Executive Officer, pushed to the brink, had directly abandoned server stability, forcibly pulling out the most vile things from the database.
"Ruo Bing, Elena!"
Qin Yu didn't turn around, his voice as cold and hard as steel.
"Here!" both women responded simultaneously.
"Hold the deck. Don't let anything near the main control room."
Qin Yu, carrying the Kiss of Death in one hand, directly stepped onto the ship's bow railing.
The sea wind whipped his coat fiercely.
"Yao Xue, get your operating table ready."
Qin Yu looked back, meeting the gaze of his first wife.
"Tonight, many people might die."
Yao Xue adjusted her glasses, both hands pressed against the cold railing.
"As long as you're alive, even if you're hanging on by your last breath, I can piece you back together."
Qin Yu smiled.
He turned his head, gazing at the deep, dark abyss of the Death Sea Trench below.
"Dapeng!"
Qin Yu roared in fury.
"Screech—!"
The Three-Eyed Spirit Roc, which had been circling in mid-air, dove downward.
Its massive talons clamped directly onto Qin Yu's shoulders.
"Take me down."
Gripping his gun, Qin Yu's eyes burned with madness.
"The first round is over."
"Now, I'm going down there myself—to shatter that coward's turtle shell, one bullet at a time!"
The howling wind screamed past.
Under the stunned gazes of everyone, Qin Yu, held by Dapeng, plunged straight into the bottomless depths of the Absolute Zero Trench.
The true final battle.
At this moment, it erupted completely!
