Chapter 381: Provocation

A large meat processing plant belonging to the Kabu Family.

Following a series of explosions.

The factory area's alarms blared, and countless workers fled in a panic.

The Kabu Family security squad that originally belonged to the factory area, after confirming that the attacker was that monster, also...

... collapsed at the first touch.

The factory manager now deeply regretted why he had insisted on showing off before the main family, declaring he would not take leave and would definitely hold his post.

Boom!

The glass door of the manager's office was violently shattered.

The loud noise made the desk and the surrounding bookshelves shake.

It also made the female secretary hiding in the office wail and cry.

Seeing a figure walk in from the doorway.

A large amount of sea fish was stockpiled there.

After finishing speaking, Su Ping grabbed the manager, and after his divine sense invaded to read his memories.

The female secretary curled up in the corner was so frightened she couldn't help but whimper a few more times.

Following that, a video began to play on a loop.

"Is this fear, or the realization that continuing to suffer losses is meaningless?"

"Compared to listening to your nonsense, I trust the information I obtained more."

Furthermore, after graduating and entering the workforce, relying on the surname Kabu, there is no major problem with entering a Kabu Family industry to be a minor manager.

He smiled faintly and said:

"My Lord! Spare me!"

Of course, this is limited to low and middle positions; without great opportunity, middle and high positions are firmly held by the direct descendants of the Kabu Family and the house-born servants they carefully cultivate.

This factory manager raised his hands and shouted loudly:

If one truly has ability, their promotion will also be faster than other Citizens or Elites.

It has already reached the point of being unscrupulous and disregarding one's face to attempt it.

But to say there is no connection at all would be too fake.

He discovered that the enhanced human squad that should have rushed over to die after his attack did not appear this time.

The snack shop owner from whom he often bought snacks as a child.

Su Ping sensed with his divine sense.

After simple cooking and consumption, it can refine more Essence than eating other ordinary food, and thus convert more Dharma Power.

Clearly, in order for Kalosis to leave the urban environment and head to the Dahai to search for the aircraft carrier fleet, the Kaluo Federation...

After eating for a while.

Su Ping was initially confused.

Inside the fleet's aircraft carrier, in a large, monotonously decorated interrogation room, the faces of trembling men and women appeared one after another.

Even in the high altitude, there were no Drones or large airships.

"Heh, do they think that if I lose the geographical advantage, they can win?"

In the video, on the boundless Dahai, an aircraft carrier fleet was slowly sailing, and the coordinates were thoughtfully labeled in the corner.

He also headed to the cafeteria and began a buffet.

Su Ping discovered that the cafeteria and all places with video projection devices had turned on their projections.

Dahai?

Su Ping read this manager's memory and found that he was not lying; he was indeed a member of the Kabu clan beyond the fifth degree of kinship, and not from the main branch.

Since the other party did not come, Su Ping was not in a hurry, letting the Shadow of the Abyss giant snake enter the processing plant to devour those meats.

Su Ping laughed, and after clicking his tongue a few times, he walked to the cold storage.

"Although I also have the surname Kabu, I have long been beyond the fifth degree of kinship; apart from the name, I have no relationship with the Kabu Family anymore."

Kindergarten and elementary school teachers, classmates he had teamed up with.

He tossed the man, who had been turned into an idiot, onto the carpet next to the office.

Even the aunt upstairs who felt pity for Kalosis and helped him a little before he decided to sign up, giving him some food, and the aunt's entire family...

For an outsider to squeeze in, the only way is if one's ability is truly not bad, and one is favored to become the family's son-in-law.

Upon hearing the introduction, he remembered that these were all the people the original owner had come into contact with in the Civilian District in this life.

Having the surname Kabu guaranteed that they could live in the Ground City from birth, could be granted Citizen status, and obtain the educational environment that the civilians in the Dungeon Civilian District needed to strive to obtain.

It is just that such examples have become fewer and fewer since the Kaluo Federation completed the unification of the entire planet.

Su Ping looked at this fat, middle-aged, greasy factory manager with blue and white short hair.

And as long as one possesses Dharma Power, with the help of the divine sense of a Deity Transformation stage cultivator.

That is also my home turf!

…………

Dahai, on the aircraft carrier of the Kaluo Federation's First Fleet.

Admiral Trilance sat in the command room.

He was in a video call with several Elders in the family.

"Will that monster really abandon his geographical advantage and come here for these strangers he only met once and to whom he owes a meal of gratitude?"

An Elder spoke first, voicing his doubt:

"The Elder Council will definitely fully support every decision you make."

"However, if it is completely useless, I fear our Kabu Family will suffer a loss of reputation."

Admiral Trilance dismissed this with disdain:

"At a time like this, does the family still care about reputation?"

"Once all of our Kabu Family's properties in the Ground City are destroyed, the Elders will only be more anxious than us."

"Other families would only be dying to take our place in doing these dirty deeds."

"My staff officers have studied this Kalosis."

"After becoming an Awakened, he became extremely confident and arrogant."

"Such a madman, even if not for the sake of strangers, will take the initiative to come find us for the sake of his own arrogance."

"Because this matter itself is actually a challenge, a provocation, that we sent to the other party."

"And a madman cannot stand provocation."

"I hope so."

"If the other party really comes."

"You must also make full preparations."

Hearing this, Admiral Trilance smiled confidently:

"Besides the First Fleet, I have also borrowed the ships with the strongest firepower from the Second and Third Fleet."

"Under the sea, I have also mobilized fifteen of the Federation's twenty-five Underwater Combat Groups!"

"Plus, the fighter jets at the land airfields are all in combat status and can provide support at any time."

"Can that Kalosis really stir up much trouble in front of me!"

Hearing this, the Elders also nodded one after another.

After all, looking at Kalosis's brute force and high mobility, once he reaches the sea, can he really stride across the ocean like flying?

Even if he could really walk on the sea, it would be much easier to conduct fire coverage on the ocean.

And over at the Sky Garden.

The young Noble men and women who learned of this also became interested.

That Lance Kabu, incorrigible as ever, immediately opened a betting pool.

The bet was whether that madman Kalosis would head to the Dahai to fight a decisive battle against the navy the Federation is so proud of.

One hour later.

Lance Kabu and the others received new information.

It was that the headquarters of the Kabu Bank of the Kabu Family had been attacked.

The good news is that the bank president and vice president had both taken sick leave and escaped a disaster.

The bad news is that it seems it was because they didn't find the top management.

That madman directly destroyed the entire building.

The Kabu Bank is one of the landmark buildings of the Kabu Family in the Ground City.

Such a building being destroyed in public.

For the Kabu Family, it was undoubtedly a loud slap in the face in public.

Lance Kabu flushed red with anger, cursing that Kalosis was a coward who only knew how to bully the weak who could not resist.

However, very quickly, Lance Kabu started smiling again.

It turned out that before destroying the building, Kalosis used the equipment inside to record a video, and then sent it to an emergency contact website.

Now, this video was delivered before these young Nobles.

Letting them see that Kalosis, who seemed to have an increasingly mysterious aura.

He was sitting in the president's office, hands crossed and placed steadily on the desk, facing the camera with a half-smile as he said:

"Your provocation, this Venerable One accepts."

"This Venerable One has also decided that I will only strike at your location once I have made you participants completely mentally collapse and doubt yourselves."

The video was very short, but the meaning expressed was very clear.

Lance Kabu was first stung in his heart by the other party's arrogance.

Then he came to his senses, his face showing a look of wild joy:

"Hahahaha, that guy, that madman, he is actually really going!"

"He is really going to have a decisive battle with the Federation Navy!"

The remaining young Noble men and women also showed expressions of relief.

Only, there were still a few young Nobles who had lingering worry in the depths of their eyes.

That madman had already created too many incredible miracles.

If he were to destroy the Federation Navy on the sea, and the third person in charge of this matter were to lose their life...

The subsequent events would likely be a huge mess.

After thinking this far, these young people did not dare to continue thinking.

And on the Dahai.

Admiral Trilance also received the forwarded video.

After watching it, Admiral Trilance outwardly acted as if he were confident in front of his subordinates.

In fact, as an Elite member of the Kabu Family.

He naturally also knew that the situation was not that simple.

He constantly adjusted the fleet deployment while continuously requesting support.

It can be said that for this battle, Admiral Trilance had basically exhausted all his face.

The family's foundation had basically given what it could.

Even experimental weapons, regardless of whether they were useful, were moved onto the warships for use.

Not long after receiving the news that Kalosis was coming.

Someone saw the other party appear at the port.

And after seeing the other party hijack a large cruise ship belonging to the Kabu Family.

They began to swaggeringly let the cruise ship charge toward the aircraft carrier.

"Admiral, your aunt sent a message to remind you that your niece is also on that cruise ship."

"Additionally, besides over five hundred Citizens, there are more than thirty Elites and over twenty Noble descendants belonging to seven different families on the cruise ship."

Hearing the adjutant's report.

Admiral Trilance let out a cold snort, feeling it was just nonsense.

Did those fellows not know what time it was now?

Instead of staying properly in their family estates, or in a safe zone.

They actually had to run off to some cruise ship.

Admiral Trilance shook his head slightly and directly had the adjutant send a unified reply.

He would certainly fulfill his duty as a Federation general and protect the personal safety of those people as much as possible.

Of course, that was just talk; when artillery coverage was needed, Admiral Trilance would not have the slightest hesitation.

Inside the hijacked cruise ship of the Kabu Family.

The tourists stayed in the ship's main hall, shivering.

In the hall, several Noble tourists were complaining to each other about why they had to come traveling at this time.

They had even said that staying away from the Ground City would be safer.

As it turned out, was this what they called safer?

"We're dead, we're definitely dead!"

"I guarantee that the navy will never consider our safety; he will definitely shell us immediately after we enter the position!"

The excited voice of a young Noble man caused the hall to become chaotic.

Just as the commotion grew louder and louder.

The ceiling suddenly began to squirm, and then a Shadow of the Abyss tentacle as thick as an adult's body lunged down, opened into a petal-shaped orifice, and swallowed the noisy young Noble in one gulp.

"Silence!"

At the same time, a majestic voice echoed throughout the hall.

Causing all the tourists in the hall to quiet down again.

In the captain's cabin, eating the food brought by the crew members who were now captives.

Su Ping, not at all afraid of being poisoned, said while eating:

"The ingredients on your Noble cruise ship taste just average."

"Especially those sea fish; the quality isn't even as good as the stock I found in the cold storage."

"Bad review!"

Hearing Su Ping's words, the crew members behind him lowered their heads one after another, sweating profusely.

"Hmm... that's enough for now."

Su Ping felt that he was already being watched by malice from all directions.

He arrived on the deck.

Using his accumulated Dharma Power, he added the briefly possessed Water Control and Water Escape intangible arts to himself.

He then took a light breath, reinforcing himself with Dragon Elephant Strength and the Indestructible Body.

Looking at the Dharma Power reserve that had directly dropped by more than half.

Su Ping gently clenched his hands:

"The current me, dealing with the entire Kaluo Federation navy on the high seas."

"Should be enough."

"After all, whether it's on the sea or under the sea, the warships are such large targets, and relatively speaking, they run so slowly."

"Tearing them apart by hand... should be easier than fighting armored units on land."

Su Ping deliberately did not whisper, and his voice carried into the cockpit where the cabin door was open.

Making those crew members secretly swallow their saliva.

And then, wondering if the other party seemed to be leaving the cruise ship, if that were true, should they let the captain report the news?

Oh, the captain and the first mate had already been turned into idiots and locked in the crew cabin.

Then it didn't matter.

Under the gaze of the crew, Su Ping suddenly leaped high from the deck.

Immediately after landing on the sea surface, with a boom, he turned into a figure breaking through the wind and waves, disappearing on the horizon in the blink of an eye.

"The target is no longer riding the cruise ship!"

"The target has left the cruise ship and is charging toward us at a speed of over one hundred nautical miles per hour."

"Impossible! How can he be so fast on the sea! It's simply faster than on land!"

Admiral Trilance felt a panic in his heart upon hearing this report, but after forcing himself to calm down, he immediately ordered artillery coverage.

Suddenly.

One hundred and twenty warships on the sea surface suddenly fired missiles.

In the sky, fighter jets also launched ground-attack and anti-ship missiles via beyond-visual-range targeting.

At the same time, Drones swarmed over as if they cost nothing.

They attempted to use themselves to block the monster that was rapidly crossing the sea.

Su Ping felt himself being covered by firepower.

He smiled faintly, and Water Escape was activated!

At the same time the explosions churned up the seawater.

Su Ping had already relied on his escape technique to appear on the periphery of the coverage area.

This made Admiral Trilance, who noticed this, change color, and a thick sense of unease surged in his heart.

"That is... teleportation?"

"Is this... the confidence that allows the opponent to dare to challenge us?"
