Due to prior notification and the blockade of the sea area, the intense bombardment of missiles by the Korean army created a significant stir, but it did not alert society.
After more than ten minutes of relentless shelling, the sea surface finally returned to calm.
The warships deployed speedboats to scout, fighter jets skimmed the sea, and helicopters hovered above the water, as if searching for something.
"Report! No signs of life found in Zone A1, nor any target wreckage..."
"Report! Target not found in Zone B2..."
"Report! Zone D1..."
...
Several reconnaissance teams were dispatched, and the sonar and radar of various warships and aircraft continuously reported their findings to the commander.
On a large cruiser stationed at the edge of the battlefield, the army commander, inside the command center, watched the various battlefield scenes and listened to the reports from all levels, his expression grave.
"Order all combat units to maintain combat readiness."
The 'young' commander, in his forties, issued the command and then said, "Contact headquarters."
"Inform them that the target's threat level was underestimated. Re-evaluate the target's danger level to: B+."
B+?!!
As soon as the commander's words fell, his deputy and the soldiers nearby had their faces change drastically, a flicker of fear in their eyes.
They knew that a terrifying monster lurked in the sea, far more fearsome than any monster from Ultraman's battles.
Previously, they had rated it as C-class, but now, the commander had elevated its threat level by a significant margin, to the most terrifying of the B-class!
"Additionally..." the Korean commander frowned. "Please have headquarters prepare defenses for Busan in the north and Jisan in the south!"
"Yes!"
The deputy and soldiers had just acknowledged the order when suddenly, with a 'bang,' a deafening explosion shook the massive hull violently, and a rapid, tense alarm blared simultaneously.
"Commander, it's bad! That monster has broken through our forward encirclement and is attacking our vessels..."
Boom!! Another violent tremor, accompanied by the sound of explosions, caused the commander and other officers to turn pale.
Outside, the cruiser, now over ten meters wide, was being powerfully entangled by numerous massive tentacles. Steel groaned and creaked as the hull slowly deformed.
As the cruiser was on the verge of being crushed and sinking, a look of resolve flashed in the Korean commander's eyes.
"We can't escape. Order— all other combat units to concentrate fire on us."
"Activate— self-destruct sequence!"
"Yes!!"
The Korean soldiers, rarely, revealed a bloodthirsty side.
Not long after, countless missiles rained down from the sky, precisely targeting the cruiser. The immense explosion kicked up a thousand waves, even generating a small mushroom cloud...
Meanwhile, Bai Ye, having just finished his grilled fish, was washing his hands and wiping his mouth. For his modest lunch, he had consumed three exceptionally rare fish species, the kind that were nearly impossible to find domestically, making the 40 million netizens in the livestream drool.
"Sob! Brother Ye is too cruel!"
"Wow! Every time I watch Brother Ye's stream, I get hungry nine times a day before it even gets dark."
"Don't even think about it. Those three fish just now were worth at least three million!"
"Seriously, after watching Brother Ye's stream, I suddenly feel how impoverished my comfortable life of ten dishes and three soups is!"
"Versailles! Still not satisfied with ten dishes and three soups? I'm a poor soul with four dishes and one soup, and I haven't even eaten that yet..."
...
After washing up, Bai Ye was about to perform some small magic tricks to earn prestige when he suddenly felt something and immediately turned his head towards the northwest, the direction where the Korean army had been hunting the demonic creature.
There, he saw a massive ripple rapidly approaching him, and in the sky behind the ripple, a few Raptor fighter jets were in pursuit.
The audience also immediately noticed the commotion and became excited.
"Holy crap? What is that?"
"Fighter jets?? It seems... something has happened?"
