Volume 10: Doomsday Storm Chapter 589: Gods in Reality
The Pacific Ocean - Uncharted Waters:
Above the vast and boundless ocean, a fleet consisting of more than ten large and small ships is sailing in the vast ocean. Leading the fleet is a scientific research vessel with a displacement of 10,000 tons. Various advanced instruments on board are constantly recording and analyzing climate changes in the surrounding waters.
Behind the research ship is the fleet's flagship, the USS San Diego aircraft carrier.
At this moment, a meeting was being held in the command room of the aircraft carrier.
"Gentlemen, relax a little." Looking at the officers in front of him who were on high alert, Admiral Carter nodded with satisfaction.
"This time we were sent to perform a special mission to provide escort for the Lone Star research ship. I guess you must be wondering why we have to use an entire aircraft carrier fleet to escort a research ship. Dr. Rhine will explain it to you next."
As he spoke, he gestured and the lights in the room were immediately dimmed. An old man in a white coat walked to the front of the stage, turned on the projector and started playing some pictures.
"This is the weather picture taken by the spy satellite in the nearby waters over the past seven days. It is located in the waters we are about to enter."
Dr. Rhine said as he switched the screen.
“This is the picture from the first day. As you can see, the sea was calm and there was nothing unusual.
This is the picture from the second day..."
On the projector, there was a very clear storm cloud.
Everyone perked up in surprise. Although there were no meteorological experts present, as naval officers, they still had some understanding of the weather changes at sea.
Usually storms will gradually form in an environment where cold and hot air interact, so they can often be predicted in advance by the changes in cold and hot air currents. Storms often take a certain amount of time to gradually take shape. A storm with a very complete shape like the one in the picture can never be formed in one day.
"Isn't it strange? The storm clouds suddenly appeared in less than 24 hours. In fact, the storm actually took less than an hour to form. It seemed to appear out of thin air without any signs. The weather satellites did not detect any climate changes that could produce storms. But this is not the strangest thing..."
Dr. Rhine pressed the remote control and the picture switched again.
“This is a satellite photo from the third day.”
On the projector, red lightning flashed in the storm, which looked very terrifying.
“This is the fourth day…”
This time, the storm on the screen turned a pale green color. Dr. Rhine zoomed in and it seemed as if a green flame was burning in the storm.
“This is the fifth day…”
“This is the sixth day…”
Each scene is more shocking than the last.
"We began to conduct energy detection in the area the next afternoon. In just seven days, this sudden storm in this unnamed sea area released more than five million tons of TNT equivalent energy, which is equivalent to the power of five million-ton atomic bombs.
Of course, it seems insignificant compared to those super hurricanes that can cover an entire continent, but considering that the storm covers an area of less than 50 kilometers in radius, the energy is very terrifying. What is even more strange is that this storm has not shown any signs of movement in seven days, neither expanding nor dissipating.
It doesn’t even move with the climate change around it, and a storm like this almost never occurs in nature. The only reasonable explanation is that this storm was artificially created.”
These strange weather pictures and Dr. Rhine's explanation immediately aroused everyone's surprise.
"Who was it that created this storm?"
"No one knows. Maybe it's aliens, maybe it's some kind of atmospheric phenomenon that hasn't been discovered yet, or even God appearing... But there is another possibility. It's some kind of super-weather weapon that other countries are testing."
This immediately caused the officers to whisper among themselves.
"Okay, Dr. Rhine, just leave the rest to me." Admiral Carter looked at everyone present seriously.
"You are all elite members of the Navy. You should all be aware of the significance of such a weapon. Our mission today is very important. Investigate this storm and find out the truth about its formation. If it is really a weapon, we must figure out how it works."
At this time, the voice of the crew came from the communicator.
"General, we are about to enter the stormy sea. Please give orders."
"All warships are on combat readiness, and fighter planes are dispatched for reconnaissance. Dr. Rhine, please begin the 'scientific expedition'."
…
At this moment, in the center of the storm in this unknown sea, Murphy is suspended in the sky, controlling the storm and feeling the wonderful feeling of mastering the power of heaven and earth.
After seven days of testing, Murphy has completely confirmed that the power of the Dragon God has indeed been brought back to reality by him.
Storms, dragon thunder, fel energy, arcane... many powers were displayed one by one. In order not to be disturbed during the experiment, he deliberately traveled to a parallel time and space, and then found an uninhabited remote sea area for testing.
He even summoned a storm to cover up his traces. He didn't really care whether this cover-up was effective or not. After all, he had become the Dragon God, so it didn't matter if he was discovered.
Besides, it’s not my original plane, so I’m not afraid of any trouble.
But you still have to pretend to be like this, at least it can't be seen directly by others.
The experiment was successful, and now he could wield the power of the Dragon God almost as freely as he did in the game.
However, as the joy of gaining divine power gradually faded, a question inevitably arose in Murphy's mind.
What is this game all about?
He had thought about this problem more than once in the past, but due to limited information, he was unable to judge the seriousness of the problem.
However, now, even the power of the Dragon God has been mastered by him through the game. Murphy immediately realized that the truth hidden behind this game would probably be extremely shocking.
He couldn't help but recall the conversation he had with the previous generation Dragon God Yamahamut during the time travel.
Although the other party did not explain it completely, it seemed to imply that the Sky World was a real world, but for some reason, it became a game world controlled by a game company.
Murphy suddenly thought of a type of novel he had read in the past - The Fourth Disaster.
In this type of novel, the protagonist often disguises a real world as a game, and then invites some real-life players to experience and play the game, in order to achieve their own goals. In the game, players can often access knowledge and power that does not exist on Earth...
Could it be that Sky World is such a game?
No, this explanation doesn't make sense at all. Why do the NPCs in the game behave just like real NPCs?
Even the background of the game is still the classic IP like World of Warcraft.
There are also various systems in the game, player template design, monster refresh mechanism, and players can even become the son of a certain hero. Even the hero 's thinking can be directly influenced, making them completely ignore the very incongruous problem of a king having more than forty sons.
None of this can be explained away by disguise.
Only real games can do this.
If Sky World was a very realistic game, it could still be explained, but the closer the design is to traditional online games, the more difficult it is to explain with the word "disguise".
Could it be that the game company holds the secret of creation? They created the world of the sky, and then used the players to gain power from the game?
But this is even more unreasonable. If you have the power to create the world, why would you start a game company or sell gaming helmets?
It's totally unreasonable.
Murphy thought about it, but the more he thought about it, the more difficult it became to figure out. The thick fog hidden behind the game made it completely impossible for him to see clearly.
But he had to figure out the answer to this question, not only for his own peace of mind, but also because he had promised Morpheus to give freedom to the world.
Murphy is not the kind of person who would do anything for a promise, but he is not the kind of person who doesn't care about a promise either. If conditions permit, he still hopes to fulfill Murphys' last wish.
To achieve this, we must first figure out what kind of opponent we are facing.
Perhaps the answer can only be found by going to the game company.
He thought again of the Hall of Fame award.
Should I just go and claim the reward and gather some intelligence at the same time?
Murphy has a deep fear of game companies.
The unknown brings fear to people. If there is anything in this world that he completely cannot understand, it is undoubtedly the background of the game company.
Even if he became the Dragon God, he didn't dare to say that he could escape unscathed, as he always felt that some trap or conspiracy was waiting for him.
Just when Murphy was hesitating, his mind suddenly moved, and a faint message came from the storm.
Murphy came back to his senses, sensed a little, and immediately sensed the identity of the uninvited guests from the wind.
"Haha, I didn't expect that I would still attract attention. Never mind, it's time to leave."
…
"Vulture, vulture, this is an eagle's nest, have you noticed anything unusual?"
"Eagle's Nest, this is Vulture 1. No abnormalities found. There is a strong magnetic field interference inside the storm. The radar cannot work normally. Over."
“Eagle’s Nest, this is Vulture 2, nothing found, OVER.
"Eagle's Nest, this is Vulture 3..."
Information was sent back from several fighter jets that were sent out one after another. Admiral Carter looked at the light spots representing several fighter jets on the screen and frowned tightly.
"Continue searching along the planned route. You are approaching the center of the storm. Whatever caused this storm is likely to be there."
Hanks turned off the communicator and looked at the red lightning that flashed from time to time in the storm with some worry.
Flying in a storm is a dangerous thing in itself, and what made him feel even more strange was the light of the lightning. He had never seen such red lightning before.
Boom!
A dazzling flash of lightning illuminated the clouds, and Hanks was horrified to find that Vulture 2 was struck by a red lightning and instantly turned into a burning fireball, falling towards the sea.
Damn it! He hurriedly climbed up to avoid the dangerous clouds. Suddenly, the plane broke through the clouds and saw an open sea in front of him. The clouds formed a huge circular dome around the sea. Sparse sunlight shone through the gaps in the clouds and shone on the sea, forming a strange Tyndall phenomenon.
Hanks felt relieved. At least here he didn't have to worry about lightning damaging the plane.
Suddenly, a blip on the radar caught his attention.
What is that? He looked in the direction of the light in a hurry. Since the storm was not very large, he was not too far away from the light at this moment. He could even see a vague black dot with his naked eyes.
Hanks maneuvered the plane to approach the target while contacting the mother ship.
"Eagle's Nest, Eagle's Nest, this is Vulture One, I think I found my target."
"Vulture One, what did you find?"
"It's like - oh my god, it's a person! An Asian! Oh my god, he found me!"
Asian! Admiral Carter's eyes tightened.
It must be China’s secret weapon!
"Vulture One, eliminate the target!"
"What, are you sure? That guy can fly in the sky, maybe he's a superhero or a god or something."
No matter what that person does, Hanks doesn't think it should be done rashly.
" This is Admiral Carter, soldier. Don't tell me any superhero nonsense. No one can fly in the sky. It must be a flying machine disguised as a humanoid, or some kind of balloon. It is China's secret weapon. We must get that weapon or destroy it. Follow the order - now! Right now!"
A humanoid flying machine!? A balloon? It doesn't look like one.
Hanks secretly complained, but orders are orders. He gritted his teeth, the fire control radar locked onto the target, and a missile was launched.
At the same time, two other fighter jets also launched missiles.
Huh? You dare to do that.
Murphy couldn't help but laugh as he watched the firing skills. These guys really don't know how to live or die. Since you want to die, then I'll grant your wish.
Dragon Thunder!
Scarlet lightning streaked across the sky, blowing up several missiles in mid-air.
Then it instantly fell towards the fighter planes.
A few seconds later, all three F35s turned into burning fireballs in the air.
Watching the aircraft signal disappearing from the screen, Admiral Carter decisively ordered a full-scale attack.
"You're crazy General! The enemy has technology we don't understand at all. We should retreat immediately!"
Dr. Rhine looked shocked, but Admiral Carter didn't care.
"This is Doctor of Military Operations. You just need to provide your expertise. Giving orders is my job."
But they no longer had any chance. Almost in an instant, the storm suddenly became extremely violent. The strong winds created huge waves, and the giant ships weighing tens of thousands of tons swayed and rose and fell.
Even more deadly was the red lightning that fell from the sky. The lightning seemed to be controlled by someone and hit the fleet with precision.
The waves rolled, the dark waters churned in the storm, the storm howled and danced wildly. The sky was dark, thunder and lightning, and red lightning tore through the darkness.
Fear enveloped everyone. In this sea storm, they were just insignificant existences, at the mercy of the forces of nature.
The planes on the aircraft carrier were struck by lightning and caught fire.
The crew could clearly hear the explosion on the deck.
"We must retreat General!"
"No, our ships are indestructible. A little lightning cannot sink us."
“Look!”
Through the glass of the bridge, dozens of green, burning meteorites fell from the sky in the dark clouds and smashed towards the fleet, as if doomsday had come.
The close-in defense guns fired intensive fire at the meteorite, but it was meaningless against the huge stone weighing hundreds of tons.
Boom! A meteorite landed solidly on the deck. Admiral Carter's eyes widened. He saw a giant burning hand stretched out from the smashed deck. A green monster that seemed to be made of burning rocks let out a terrifying roar...
When the storm finally subsided, the fleet had completely disappeared at sea.
Murphy looked at the sea with some boredom. Tsk, the so-called strongest navy in the world is just like this. It feels like they are not as capable as Archimonde.
Then he began his time travel and returned to his own time and space.
An hour later—
Murphy stood on the street, looking at the building across the road, but he no longer felt the ease he had felt before.
The fleet of the Lighthouse Country did not make him as nervous as the place in front of him.
Cangqiong Game Company, here I come again.
