Chapter 468
Beep-beep-beep-beep.
“Lin Xian, our markers are gone!” In the Infinite’s cockpit, Chen Sixuan stared at the shimmering silver dragon of the Ten Thousand Errors after the spatial ripples faded, and immediately spoke to Lin Xian.
At that moment, Lin Xian glanced at Chen Sixuan with a complex expression, then at Kiki, Ding Junyi, and Viola—his gaze froze for a heartbeat.
The image of the Infinite’s instant destruction slowly sank into the abyss within Lin Xian’s pupils, like a collapsed micro-universe; his heart slammed hard, and he gasped back to awareness.
The dimensional entity of the Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Errors had vanished.
Lin Xian knew he might have wasted much time—but it confirmed his theory: within the dimensional entity of the Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Errors, he had seen his own timeline.
This feeling was indescribable; Lin Xian did not know if the timeline would trigger change, but right now he clearly knew what would happen next!
Boom-boom-boom!
The violent shockwaves from the volcano and nuclear explosions pushed the seawater like a solid wall, relentlessly crushing the two deep-sea submersibles into chaotic tumbling toward the deep-sea cliff; the cabin buzzed with noise.
“Lin Xian, we must dive deeper quickly!” Chen Sixuan, seeing Lin Xian frozen, urgently reminded him.
[Accelerating descent according to designated coordinates]
In moments of crisis, artificial intelligence is often the clearest and most rational executor of pre-set tasks.
“Cliff drop: 6,150 meters!”
Whoosh!
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the Infinite’s propulsion system was forcibly overridden and began reverse thrust—this sudden turn took everyone by surprise.
Lin Xian’s Mechanical Heart spun at high speed as he roared:
“Ryan, Viola, retreat to the top of the cliff—now!”
Beep.
The sonar detector flashed a red light.
Everything unfolded exactly as in the timeline.
Lin Xian’s expression tightened, his heartbeat quickened—the Great Ocean God was right now beneath the cliff’s abyss!
Lin Xian’s sudden maneuver left Kiki, Chen Sixuan, and Ding Junyi confused, but Viola executed his command without delay: she adjusted the Infinite’s buoyancy posture and shot backward at top speed toward the cliff’s rear.
Meanwhile, the nuclear submarine—originally following the Infinite—saw the Infinite retreat to the cliff’s top and immediately applied emergency brakes.
“What’s going on? Monsters are everywhere above us—wasn’t the plan to dive deeper right now?” Erica, behind Ryan, looked baffled.
Gedi frowned: “Too close. If even one locks onto us, we’re done.”
Ryan’s face hardened, all traces of ease gone; he spoke gravely:
“Follow Lin Du’s orders. He planned this. In this situation, anyone who thinks they’re clever becomes an idiot.”
Everyone fell silent. The nuclear submarine retreated at full speed, vanishing into the chaotic seabed silt.
On the Infinite, the violent reverse thrust made those inside feel like they were inside a blender—spinning endlessly. No one understood what was happening. Now, Lin Xian and Viola jointly operated the Infinite, pushing the thrusters to their absolute limit.
“Kiki, give it a push!”
Beep!
The sonar detector flashed again—full screen red. Without hesitation, Kiki’s eyes changed color; she unleashed her telekinesis, gripping tons of seawater and launching the Infinite like an arrow, exploding upward in a violent water burst, accelerating toward the cliff’s top.
“Lin! There’s a monster below!”
Shizuki’s panicked voice rang out—everyone now realized the danger.
“What monster can’t even be fully detected by sonar?” Kiki gritted her teeth as she pushed, tense.
Chen Sixuan said: “Could it be another invisible monster?”
“No.”
Before Lin Xian could speak, Ding Junyi had already calmly blurted out:
“Only a living entity that moves entirely beyond sonar detection range could cause this phenomenon.”
At these words, everyone on the comms channel drew a sharp breath.
“Retreat now!”
In Car 5, Long Zhijie immediately activated his ability to help the Infinite accelerate again.
At this moment, the Infinite was like a tiny earthworm in the endless abyss. As the underwater train hurtled toward the great cliff, the entire seabed beneath the cliff trembled violently—muddy silt surged upward like hell rising, instantly covering the entire sea. The Infinite’s and the submarine’s windows were completely obscured, plunged into deep-sea chaos.
“Here it comes!”
Inside the cabin, tension spiked. Lin Xian stared fixedly at the sonar’s cliff terrain map—just a little more!
Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh.
The seawater was shaking!
Ding-ding-ding!
The Infinite’s metal structure shuddered violently; terrifying sound waves, like a meat grinder, filled the cabin, filling everyone with dread.
Lin Xian gripped the Infinite’s control panel tightly; three superstring reactor phase rings glowed behind him. His Mechanical Heart operated at full power as he desperately pushed backward!
In the next instant, the Infinite was struck by a violent upwelling current, flung into a terrifying spiral vortex—spinning like dust, everyone was caught off-guard and swept into the violent tumbling surge!
“Aaaah!!!”
Screams filled the rear cars. Many in powered armor couldn’t stabilize their bodies; they were tossed and slammed as the train rolled through the deep sea, while only the deafening crack of metal tearing at the car joints under extreme stress echoed in their ears.
Long Zhijie and Kiki, the only two telekinesis users, were the sole ones who could hold their ground. They unleashed their full power to protect their teammates and simultaneously tried to stabilize the Infinite.
[Deep-diving module pressure hull exceeded maximum stress threshold; partial structural deformation detected. Warning: possible leakage risk.]
Alarms flashed continuously on the Infinite.
Just as the Infinite, carried by the upwelling, nearly slammed into the seabed rocks, Kiki and Long Zhijie finally stabilized its posture. Once halted, chaos erupted inside every car.
Lin Xian breathed heavily, heart pounding—he knew this massive upwelling was the terrifying effect caused by the Great Ocean God’s emergence. He immediately activated his Mechanical Heart to scan the Infinite’s condition. Once he confirmed no major damage, he finally exhaled.
