Kryptonian: Man of Steel - Chapter 1179

Off the island country, in the vast expanse of blue, there are warships like a forest. Giant steel ships are densely arranged on the sparkling sea, as if they are symbols of human wisdom and strength, guarding the tranquility of this sea area.

However, between the seemingly calm sea and sky, an inconspicuous black spot quietly floated high in the sky, and that was Luther.

Luther intends to dismantle the world’s navigation capabilities and return mankind to an island state.

America’s navy, as the most powerful maritime force in the world, has 11 (but has been reduced to 9 due to recent losses) nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and hundreds of large surface combat ships. Their existence symbolizes the symbol of mankind. Absolute domination of the oceans.

Even though it was attacked by a big monster like Ghidorah and suffered heavy losses, the American Navy still held the top spot and no one could challenge it.

However, just above this seemingly indestructible maritime fortress, an unprecedented crisis is quietly approaching.

A soldier with sharp eyes standing at the edge of the deck suddenly shouted in despair: “Underwater! Look under the water!”

This shout, like a stone thrown on a calm lake, instantly broke everyone’s calm.

The soldiers and officers turned around one after another, looking through the sparkling sea, trying to catch the fleeting shadow.

At first, it was just an imperceptible dark color, but soon, a huge black shadow slowly emerged from the deep seabed. Its width was so huge that even the bravest warriors could not help but feel their hands and feet cold and their heartbeats quicken.

The blue whale, as the largest known creature on earth, can reach a length of 33 meters and an astonishing weight of 181 tons. But at this moment, the blue whale seems to have become tiny compared to the giant underwater creature. .

The width of the shadow was initially estimated to exceed 30 meters, and its length continued to extend as it meandered in the water until it exceeded the limit of human vision.

Everyone on the warship stared with bated breath, their minds going blank, trying to estimate how long this monster was—three hundred meters? Five hundred meters? Or longer?

Just when everyone was stunned, a deafening roar broke the tranquility of the sea. It was like an undersea volcano erupting. The sea water was instantly torn apart by huge force, forming a huge wave tens of meters high, like a roaring giant beast, rushing towards the warship. The crowd surged forward.

These steel behemoths that humans are proud of appear so fragile in the face of nature’s fury, like dead leaves in a river, tossed high by huge waves, then dropped heavily, almost overturning.

What caused all of this was the behemoth that slowly raised its head from the deep sea – the Kraken or the Norwegian Kraken. These names in ancient legends have become a reality at this moment.

Its body is covered with rough skin, and countless tentacles are swaying in the water, each of which is enough to entangle and destroy a warship.

Its eyes are like two bright lights in the abyss, shining with wisdom and coldness. Its head, which is more than thirty meters in diameter, is held high. Most of its long body is still hidden in the deep sea. No one can know for sure. Is its total length a few hundred meters or a thousand meters?

Faced with such a terrifying existence, the commander on the warship finally recovered from the shock and shouted an order: “Fire! Fire!!”

For a moment, the defense system on the warship was activated, and the six gun barrels rotated at an alarming speed. The classic “Phalanx” close-in anti-cannon roared, and the 20mm armor-piercing shells were like dense raindrops, cutting through the air and pouring towards the monster. And go.

These artillery shells can automatically search, detect, assess, track, lock on and attack threat targets and are the pinnacle of human technology.

However, when these armor-piercing bullets hit the monster’s tough skin, they could only stir up tiny sparks, not even causing a trace of pain to it.

The monster seemed to be wearing an invisible armor and ignored human attacks. It even let out a scream that penetrated the sky. The sound was layered and swept across like a tsunami, making the soldiers on the warship cover their hands. Er, he fell to the ground in pain, and those with weak will even fainted directly.

At this moment, the comparison between human technology and natural power seems so pale.

The warship bumped in the waves, like a helpless paper boat in a basin. The disparity in size between the two sides made even the most determined warriors feel unprecedented despair.

“The main gun is ready to fire!”

Following the command from the commander on the bridge, the entire battleship seemed to be awakened by an invisible force, and all systems instantly entered combat status.

On the stage of modern warfare, although the spectacular scenes of heavy armored battleships fighting against each other during World War II have long since disappeared, the battles at sea are still thrilling, but the forms and weapons have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Today’s warships are no longer designed to engage in close-range artillery duels, but to face threats from all directions – high-speed anti-ship missiles, elusive surface mines, and those that use night and complex sea areas to carry out attacks. Assault by small aircraft.

Therefore, the caliber of the main guns of modern warships has generally been reduced to 127 mm. They play more of an air defense and anti-missile interception role, and are no longer the key force that determines the outcome of the battle.

However, in the face of this unprecedented crisis, these seemingly inconspicuous main guns have become mankind’s last line of defense.

With a deafening roar, the main gun on the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer began to roar.

The turret quickly turned and accurately locked onto the huge sea monster that emerged from the deep sea – a giant creature like a giant octopus and a giant squid with a colorful shell like a nautilus and a strange shape.

The shell was pushed to the limit speed by the high-temperature and high-pressure gas in the barrel, and then whistled out like a meteor streaking through the night sky, heading straight for the target.

Under the recording of the high-speed camera, it can be seen that the shell of the shell quickly deformed and cracked when it touched the huge tentacles because it could not withstand the amazing pressure of the tentacles, and finally caused a violent explosion.

However, this explosion did not cause substantial damage to the tentacles. Instead, it was like lighting a huge match. The flame flashed on the surface of the tentacles, and then was pushed back by its huge body, turning into a destructive energy.

This energy returned at an astonishing speed and directly hit the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer that launched it.

At this moment, human technology and the power of nature collided directly.

Facing huge tentacles that are several times or even dozens of times larger than themselves, even the main destroyers that the US Navy is proud of seem so fragile.
