Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train Chapter 1138 - 438: Giant Ghost Manta

"Lin Xian, above!"

Just as Lin Xian’s attention was focused on the terrifying vortex beneath the sea cliff, Shi Zhi suddenly sensed a dangerous aura. She instinctively raised her head, and this act alerted KIKI to the anomaly, prompting an immediate reaction.

The moment KIKI’s voice rang out, Shi Zhi’s superpower quickly unfolded, and Lin Xian felt a heavy pressure descending from above. With almost no hesitation, the propulsion system of the power armor erupted at full speed!

Boom!

Sound burst shattered, sonic waves exploded. In the second the trio escaped the airspace, a giant laser beam, at least two meters in diameter, accompanied by a terrifying wave of heat, roared forth. The violent energy beam swept across the sea surface, instantly raising a hundred-meter tidal wave, forming a wall of seawater!

Rumble!

In high-speed overload, Lin Xian tilted sideways, realizing that the laser beam also directly attacked the area where Ryan’s group was located, completely obliterating the small flying device. Looking up, he saw the terrifying dark red beam originating from a black-gray storm cloud, which hovered extremely low, barely a kilometer above Chasan Island!

"Atmospheric creature?!"

"It’s hiding in the cloud!" KIKI shouted.

The black cloud disk darkened the sky, blocking the sunlight. Lin Xian swept his radar over it and immediately detected a silhouette resembling a giant creature with wings swirling within the clouds. As the cloud fog dispersed, his gaze suddenly caught a glimpse of black and white wing edges resembling a manta. His eyes widened in shock.

"Lin Xian."

"At least Special Level!"

Lin Xian looked at the Soul Swinging Value Detector, "We’ve all been marked at Level 4!"

"What should we do?"

"Neutralize it!"

At the moment they were marked, Lin Xian immediately sensed the entire sea area beginning to tremble, gradually intensifying from mild to violent.

"Many... are coming." Shi Zhi looked nervously around the sea area. Below, the huge abyss vortex seemed to stir.

Lin Xian and KIKI gazed into the distance, witnessing the sea appear to boil, turbid bubbles rapidly surging to the surface. The earthquake on Chasan Island intensified relentlessly, with mountains beginning to experience landslide phenomena.

Seeing this, Lin Xian’s heart sank. He promptly looked up towards the black storm cloud overhead, decisively stating,

"Whatever it is, it must be dealt with immediately!"

However, just as Lin Xian and KIKI were about to act, Ryan’s calm voice suddenly came through the headset.

"Captain Lin, leave it to us, you should leave the sea surface first."

On the coast, Ryan’s squad scattered swiftly from the fractured beach sand and gravel. Ryan, clad in Ghost Wolf Power Armor, stood on the beach, his gaze cold as he eyed the black storm cloud overhead, immediately commanding on the channel,

"Vanessa, Erica, you’re up. Iron Arm, cover them. Gedi, you and the others focus on the sea’s situation. Settle this within 30 seconds!"

"Understood!"

A precise order was given. The Hawk Sea Group instantly activated combat mode. Several sonic booms resounded, and a few figures broke through the smoke and dust raised by the laser beam, shooting skyward like flying meteors.

"Azir, clear the way for me."

Vanessa’s voice was calm and clear, instantly piercing through the helmet’s built-in communicator. Her whole body surged with dark energy fluctuation, breaking the sound barrier as she ascended at high speed.

"Here we go."

Below, the massive figure Iron Fist Azir bypassed the coastline, now activating Crystal Grid Power. Electric Surge white light surged in his eyes, his two Iron Fists raised like heavy cauldrons. The mechanical arm transformed and closed, a black light gathered at the cannon’s mouth, its violent energy causing surrounding sand particles to levitate. In the next moment, accompanied by a deep sonic boom, a gray energy shock wave fiercely shot skyward, the giant recoil force even causing the ground beneath Azir to collapse, creating a circular depression!

Bang!

The air wave seemed to be some sort of energy superpower combined with the mechanical cannon, piercing upward. In the blink of an eye, it expanded as it crashed into the giant storm cloud, explosively opening a vacuum air wave zone. The massive air wave blew apart the storm cloud, and at this moment, the atmospheric creature hiding within finally revealed its true form. The stern cloud layer was torn open by the violent air wave, a giant shadow with a wingspan of several hundred meters emerged, its outline indeed resembling a deep-sea manta ray, but its wing membrane edges displayed abrupt black and white mottled patterns, confirming Lin Xian’s suspicions—the creature was truly a sky Ghost Manta of several hundred meters in scale!

The Ghost Manta’s massive wing membrane swirled in the sky. At the interface between black and white on its wing edges, it tore cloud air, forming a serrated turbulence zone. Several tail stingers like steel cables grew aft, while directly beneath its abdomen, it bore a giant gaping maw reminiscent of a devil’s face. At its head’s front, two blood-red ghost eyes manifested. Energy surged as if the laser beam earlier had emanated from its eyes.

After Iron Arm blasted open the vacuum shock wave and tore apart the cloud layer, the enormous Ghost Manta seemed to sense the dark power fluctuations from Ryan’s squad. Its abdominal blood-red ghost eyes suddenly brightened fiercely, two dark red lasers boldly targeting Vanessa and Erica.

"Watch out."

At this moment, the slender Erica in her enhanced armor accelerated suddenly, her eyes shimmering. A diamond-shaped light shield at least half a basketball court in size materialized ahead, directly intercepting the laser beam. As the shield’s surface trembled at high frequency, the laser energy refracted into dozens of scattered beams like shattered red glass. Under Erica’s control, those scattered laser lights regrouped like a closing lotus, directly reflecting back onto the giant Ghost Manta. In an instant, the monster’s green biological force field was rapidly drained by its own laser beam; within the few seconds between Vanessa and Erica’s ascent, it collapsed by half, its huge wings sliced with several deep cuts!
