Chapter 521 - 339: A Remote Confrontation, Helpless Despite All Methods (Part 1)
Brilliant light coalesced in the sky, and a massive Celestial Eye materialized. It stared intently in the direction of Yi Beidou’s plane, the oppressive feeling from such a colossal entity even stronger than one could imagine.
Moreover, this time, the Eye of Omniscience was not created by the power of the Eye of the Sun alone.
On the surface of the Mediterranean Sea below, inside a hidden room on a massive freighter, a complex Hexagram Array was carved into the floor. With the Eye of the Sun at its core, a dozen or so Ancient Ones from the Illuminati sat at the various nodes of the Array, gathering their magnetic fields together. This made the power of the Eye of Omniscience in the sky even more unfathomable.
Within the flight formation, the other escort fighters were hit by intense interference. Their flight patterns immediately became erratic, and the entire formation fell into disarray.
"Instruments... malfunctioning... Comms are jammed..."
"The anti-interference plating... can’t completely negate the effects!"
"Requesting... orders... for action."
"..."
Inside the fighter jet carrying Yi Beidou, the broken voices of the other pilots in the formation crackled over pilot Wang Han’s comms channel.
However, he didn’t respond.
The giant Celestial Eye up ahead seemed to have its gaze fixed entirely on their jet. In an instant, all the pre-prepared anti-interference measures failed completely.
Through Wang Han’s eyes, the sky rippled like an ocean tide. The world spun dizzily like a kaleidoscope, making it impossible to tell which way was up. He was even losing his sense of self.
All the jet’s instruments flashed red, blaring piercing alarms.
From the outside, the fighter jet began to shake violently, looking as if it would lose all flight stability and plummet to the ground at any moment.
Just then, a flash of fire blazed before Wang Han’s eyes. The kaleidoscopic world was instantly burned away by the flames, and his chaotic thoughts were pulled back into his body.
Only then did Wang Han realize that at some point, a layer of fire had covered his body.
The flames were blood-red on the inside, but a jade-like cyan substance formed an outer layer, blocking all effects of the Eye of Omniscience.
He soon discovered that it wasn’t just his body; the entire fighter jet was enveloped in a layer of intermingling cyan and red flames. Many of the warning lights on the instrument panel were going out.
’This is...’
Wang Han was visibly shaken. He knew this was the work of the man sitting behind him.
However, as far as he knew, the Magnetic Field Power of a powerful expert scattered easily, and this dispersion affected instruments no less than an opponent’s attack. But that didn’t seem to be the case now.
This was the effect of Yi Beidou’s magnetic field combined with his Jade Power.
Without the Jade Power, if he had unleashed his own Magnetic Field Power on the plane, the dispersing magnetic field would have severely impacted its flight. But the Jade Power itself was not a simple magnetic field; it was a tangible energy. By enveloping the magnetic field with a layer of Jade Power, he could perfectly control its effects and avoid damaging the instruments.
This was why Yi Beidou had suggested taking a plane and brazenly tearing through the sky.
"Their target is me. Have the others disperse; they’ll be able to avoid the effects. We just need to fly straight ahead. Remember, no matter what happens next, you just fly forward. Nothing on this path can stop us."
Yi Beidou’s calm voice came from behind him. Wang Han’s body jolted again, a surge of passion welling up in his heart.
"Understood!"
With a resolute gaze, Wang Han immediately issued orders to his teammates over the comms channel. At the same time, he stared straight ahead and piloted the jet, plunging directly toward the pupil of the giant Celestial Eye.
Meanwhile, on the surface of the sea, personnel from various factions were observing the plane’s movements.
"The Illuminati have made their move, just as expected!"
"This Yi Beidou can actually unleash such powerful Magnetic Field Power on a plane without affecting the aircraft itself. That level of control is simply inconceivable. No wonder he dared to fly across the Mediterranean Sea."
"But this is just the beginning. Since the Illuminati have acted, their Sleepers must have arrived. I just wonder how many of them will make a move."
"..."
Members of many organizations watched on dispassionately. Everyone knew this was just an appetizer; the main event would be when the Sleepers took action.
At that very moment, on the deck of the Illuminati freighter, the figures of a man and a woman looked up at the sky.
"So this is the power that defeated the East King? Is it really the legendary ’Divine Power’?"
Lady Crystal’s eyes narrowed slightly. Under the direct sunlight, her skin refracted the light just like a transparent crystal, shrouding her in a prismatic haze.
"What’s the point of thinking so much? We’ll know once we find a way to capture him."
The Thunder King grinned.
"Your Excellencies, the target is approaching rapidly. Please make your move."
The voice of the Eye of the Sun rang out across the deck.
The smile on the Thunder King’s face vanished. He spread his legs and sank into a lunge.
His brawny physique was revealed beneath his clothes. Faint arcs of electricity coiled around his corded muscles. These arcs spread rapidly from the soles of his feet, crawling across the deck like a spiderweb and extending into the Void.
BOOM! BOOM!
His body suddenly doubled in size, making him look just like a Titan Giant.
CRACKLE! SIZZLE!
He drew in the terrifying electrical magnetic field around him. His nervous system had been completely transformed by Earth Immortal Cells. Once fully unleashed, his minute neural pathways would swell to become even larger than his blood vessels. His own bio-electricity would be compressed, condensed, and conducted through these pathways, generating terrifying power.
This was the "Thunder God Vein."
In the Thunder King’s palm, a massive amount of lightning gathered, forming a Thunder Spear nearly twelve meters long.
