Chapter 633: Chapter 371: God, Does He Bleed? _2

He who fires first reigns as king.

Among these, most of the missiles were just filler.

They didn’t expect their mere Mach speed to do much, as long as they could successfully garner that man’s attention.

Only a scarce few types, which had already been launched from domestic silos, surpassing twenty times the speed of sound, held high expectations.

For instance, Hyperion Mk-III, their latest high-supersonic missile system, designed to counter extreme threats.

This missile was renowned for its extremely high speed, excellent maneuverability, and powerful destructive capability, a pinnacle of their defense technology.

The propulsion system used a dual-mode scramjet engine and solid rocket boosters. The guidance system utilized multi-modal composite guidance (radar, infrared, GPS/INS), the warhead was loaded with high explosives capable of generating massive explosive power in the target area.

Despite Hyperion Mk-III’s missile achieving the pinnacle in speed and power, facing a humanoid creature able to freely move at fifteen times the speed of sound still seemed inadequate.

After all, due to their lack of agility, they couldn’t dare to hope that these twenty-times the speed of sound missiles could guarantee a one-hit kill.

Whether they could hit was itself a question.

But soon.

Infrared sensors and phased array radars immediately detected results.

Although the specifics were unclear.

The detection methods had discovered that, during the remote first exchange, that man seemed to anticipate and suddenly execute a sharp turn.

Such a sharp angle turn was terrifying, unparalleled by any human-made ultrahigh-speed weapon.

Casually treating the missiles like a joke, the guidance system now seemed pathetic.

That man quickly caused them to collide with each other and explode.

And after the explosion, his speed continued unabated as he drew closer.

Clearly, the missiles were not very effective.

This was definitely quite shocking.

The first wave of attack declared a failure!

They hadn’t even seen the person yet, and the morale in the entire command room immediately plummeted.

That was a sharp turn! How is it possible!?

Although they expected this man must possess incredible agility, they had no idea it would be so astounding.

But the commanders had no time to think further.

Almost at the next moment, they could visually see a figure flying over from a distance.

It was a dazzling light streaking from afar.

Like a meteor, it swiftly approached the fleet.

The silhouette of that man cut across the sky like lightning, instantly crossing thousands of meters.

His speed was so fast it was nearly impossible to catch with the naked eye; they could only see blurred afterimages left in the air.

The soldiers on the naval ships were dumbfounded, having never seen such astonishing speed.

But their strong quality still compelled them to suppress their shock and commence firing as planned.

On the sea, the main cannon on the battleship fired first.

The tremendous cannon noise was deafening, the shells tracing across the sky and leaving behind white traces.

The fighter squadron in the sky also launched their attack, air-to-air missiles raining down like droplets towards that high-speed moving figure.

However, all attacks seemed to vanish into thin air, achieving no effect.

The silhouette of that man moved rapidly in the air like a phantom, all attacks failing to touch even a hair on him.

He seemed to have no intention of actively attacking.

Instead, it was as if he was playfully, leisurely strolling through the dense barrage of fire.

No matter how fierce the firepower.

It seemed unable to touch the man at all.

"Continue the attack! Don’t give him a chance to breathe!"

The Commander immediately ordered.

At sea, the secondary cannons and close-in weapon systems on the battleships also began firing, forming a dense net of shells and bullets.

In the sky, the fighter squadron constantly changed formation, attempting to find an avenue for attack.

And that man dodged as casually as ever.

As if mocking them.

They had anticipated such a situation.

Or more precisely, they had hoped it would turn out this way.

Faced with an enemy capable of hyper-speed flight, what they needed most was to restrict his movements.

At this moment.

The dense barrage of fire, under precise calculations, blocked all paths for that man, making it impossible for him to break through the fire net if he tried to approach.

This was their contingency plan.

At this moment, under their barrage, that man was actually flying along the route plotted by their powerful computers, which in a sense was a form of movement restriction.

And they did this.

To set the stage for the final weapon.

It wasn’t some kind of extraordinary weapon.

But...

It was absolutely fast enough!

So fast that, considering the man’s current speed, he couldn’t avoid it.

To dodge it would require directly taking on the surrounding fire that restricted his movements!

Just like that.

Before their weapons could overheat and melt from the continuous barrage, that man had been lured into the designated airspace.

The next moment.

Without any warning, a seemingly ordinary cannon suddenly burst forth a dazzling beam of light.

This beam of light, like a bolt of lightning tearing through the night sky, instantly illuminated the entire battlefield.

A silver streak shot out from the cannon, hurtling toward the high-speed moving man with unbelievable speed.

This streak reached an astonishing Mach 25, covering hundreds of meters almost instantaneously. The shockwaves produced by the shell in the air roared like thunder, causing the soldiers aboard the warship to suffer from ear pain.

It was the Electromagnetic Gun!

At the moment of firing, it released unprecedented energy; the rails and coils inside the barrel overheated instantly, and the metal surface began to melt and deform.

Sparks flew from the rails, hot metal fragments scattered everywhere, emitting a harsh screeching sound.

The entire barrel vibrated violently under the massive recoil, almost breaking its base.

While research on electromagnetic guns in the Superpower was still stagnating around Mach 7, The Sun Never Sets quietly broke through to Mach 25.

Of course, this was an extreme breakthrough.

Only a part of the technological innovation allowed the electromagnetic gun to reach such speed, but it could not support firing another shot.

The radical design structure resulted in this otherwise useless, disposable electromagnetic gun.

But at this moment, it became the ace in the hole.

The electromagnetic gun had fulfilled its mission and was no longer usable.

The temperature of the barrel rose rapidly, heat waves surged forth, and the ship’s cooling system worked at full capacity, but still could not prevent some areas from exceeding the safety range.

The side of the barrel already showed significant cracks, with some areas of the rails and coils completely melted, turning into twisted scrap metal.

The edges of the barrel showed signs of melting, as if scorched by high temperatures.

The entire internal structure of the electromagnetic gun was utterly destroyed, beyond repair.

But all these costs were worth it.

The silver streak flew towards the high-speed moving man at Mach 25.

A huge shockwave instantly blossomed into a dazzling fireball in mid-air.

The soldiers aboard the warship ceased fire upon command, each holding their breath and intently staring at the fireball that had instantly bloomed.

A few seconds later, the fireball gradually dissipated.

The man’s figure vanished into thin air, leaving behind silence.

Had it hit?!

And it seemed... that it had obliterated the man entirely?

This thought inevitably arose in everyone’s minds.

But the next moment.

The alarm of the detection devices sounded, and there he was, composed and floating above the central aircraft carrier of the fleet.

From this distance, it was clear that there was not a single wound on his body, not even a slight tear in his clothing.

At that instant.

Despair filled their hearts.

This made the atmosphere on the battlefield exceedingly tense.

At this moment, everything on the battlefield seemed to have frozen. The waves gently lapped against the warship, and the air was filled with the scent of gunpowder.

Everyone held their breath.

"Seems like you are a bit unwilling to accept this, huh?"

"Go prepare another shot."

"This time, I won’t dodge."

Chen Yun said calmly.

Though his voice wasn’t loud, it clearly entered everyone’s minds.
