Chapter 149: Power of Destruction (2)

Chapter 149 – Power of Destruction (2)

After seeing that the two astronauts had safely returned into the Life Sphere, Chen Yu relaxed. He then faced the camera and started speaking.

“As the two players from the donation group are going to rest for a bit, I’ll start my performance next. For safety’s sake, though…”

Pausing, Chen Yu walked up to the Life Sphere and waved at the two astronauts. Afterward, he abruptly kicked the Life Sphere!

Boom!

The two astronauts wore dumbfounded expressions on their faces as they flew over a hundred meters into the air. The Life Sphere also drew a beautiful arc as it flew across the air and landed at a distant location…

[With that kind of kick, you should consider joining the national football team.]

[Watching these brave astronauts have caused my blood to boil, and I can’t help but want to do something. Hence, I turned my body around.]

[UP is going to start showing off!]

“For safety’s sake, I’ll have them stay further away from me.”

After saying so, Chen Yu raised the lightsaber in his hand and cautiously pressed down on the power button.

Buzz! Buzz!

The instant the beam of plasma appeared, it immediately came under the restraint of a strong magnetic field and turned into the shape of a sword.

Manipulating the plasma engine, Chen Yu flew high into the air while simultaneously adjusting the lightsaber’s length to 10 meters and width to one meter. He then looked toward the camera and explained, “The energy consumption will be too great if I extend the lightsaber to 40 meters, so I think 10 meters is sufficient.

“Now, viewers in the livestream rooms, make sure not to blink because next up, you’re going to witness the most magnificent scene in the history of humanity’s extraterrestrial exploration!”

After stabilizing himself in mid-air, Chen Yu slowly flipped his position, letting his head face down and legs face upward. He then gripped the lightsaber with both hands and aimed it straight at Jupiter II’s icy surface. “Battle music, start!”

As soon as Chen Yu said so, Deja Vu started playing in the livestream rooms’ background.

(I’ve just been in this place before)

(Higher on the street)

(And I know it’s my time to go…)

“Counting down from three.

“Three!”

[3333!]

[33.]

[33333…]

“Two!”

[222!]

[2!]

A hundred meters away, the two astronauts inside the Life Sphere leaned against the Life Sphere’s inner surface and stared at Chen Yu without blinking.

On Earth, the people working in the various nations’ scientific research centers also subconsciously leaned closer towards their respective screens.

At this moment, national boundaries momentarily ceased to exist.

The importance of searching for alien life surpassed everything…

“One!”

Chen Yu shouted and revved up the plasma engine.

[1111!]

[Charge!]

[11!]

[UP! You’re the damned ruler of the world!]

“Charge!”

Boom!

Accompanied by a loud sound, blue flames instantly burst out of the protective suit’s backplate. The flames propelled Chen Yu toward the frozen ocean below like a sharp arrow.

Whoosh… Whoosh… Whoosh…

In front of the lightsaber’s plasma blade, the originally solid layer of ice provided no resistance whatsoever. Even after entering the ice layer, Chen Yu continued descending smoothly.

Whoosh!

Whoosh, whoosh—

The camera also followed Chen Yu into the one-meter-diameter hole. However, aside from Chen Yu’s legs, the livestream’s audience could only see the rapidly receding ice wall.

[How scary! Can the host penetrate the Earth’s crust as easily as this as well?]

[If the host isn’t afraid of heat, he can penetrate even stars.]

[I suddenly feel that this lightsaber is a cheat…]

[Most future technologies are cheats.]

[I just want to see how many more maddening products UP can bring out in the future.]

The thickness of Jupiter II’s frozen sea layer exceeded 100 kilometers.

That was 10 times the depth of the Mariana Trench!

The universe, was a terrifying existence.

Just the satellite of one gaseous planet already possessed a certain aspect that far exceeded the limits of human imagination.

Chen Yu descended through the ice layer at a speed of 700 meters per second. In just two minutes, he already sensed that he had reached the bottom of the ice layer.

Boom…

Boom…

The faint sound of ice cracking started appearing above him. This resulted from the massive ice layer compressing under the forces of gravity, which, in turn, collapsed the tunnel Chen Yu had created.

However, Chen Yu did not mind this situation. After all, he knew that, so long as he entered the liquid ocean, the immense water pressure would instantly reopen the collapsed tunnel as well as create the most shocking scene the solar system had seen for the past few centuries…

Whoosh—

Boom.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Boom…

The sound of ice being cut and ice collapsing intertwined with each other, giving the livestream’s 1.2 million viewers a strange viewing experience.

[This is too damned addictive!]

[I suspect I’m watching a film from the 25th century.]

[High energy ahead!]

[Nonsense. He’s going to reach the bottom soon. Of course there’s going to be high energy.]

[It’s either magma or the ocean.]

[Closing my eyes in advance. I’m scared…]

“The shape of the ice has changed.” Squinting, Chen Yu suppressed his excited heart and announced, “We’re here!”

Pshh!

Chen Yu felt his body being enveloped in a “gentle” liquid after hearing a muffled sound. Immediately afterward, a terrifying pressure struck him from below and sent him flying upward!

Boom!

The ocean was roaring.

The ice layer was breaking.

The whole moon was shaking.

This was a sound that came from the depths of hell. It surpassed even the sound of hundreds of nuclear weapons detonating simultaneously. And as the sound passed through the liquid in a corrugated form, it shattered both ice and rocks. Even Chen Yu’s armor shook in resonation.

God damn… I really crossed the line now…

As this thought flashed across Chen Yu’s mind, the sounds of the successive impacts caused him to grow dizzy.

If not for the protective suit’s protection, just these sound waves alone would’ve shattered all his internal organs…

Boom!

Another loud boom appeared, and the water pressure grew even stronger!

While strongly exerting pressure on each other, an inestimably large amount of seawater escaped through the “vent hole” Chen Yu created.

Meanwhile, back above the ice layer, inside the Life Sphere…

One of the astronauts vaguely noticed something, and his expression changed. He asked, “D-Do you feel that the ball is moving?”

“I felt it.”

“T-This feels like the ice layer is bulging.”

“That’s normal,” the ice-shaving astronaut said as he waved off his partner. “With a relief point appearing in the ice layer, the seawater will get compressed into it, which will cause the ice layer to deform. This is a standard occurrence.”

“Is it…”

The other astronaut nodded without fully understanding the subject.

Boom!

However, as the ice layer’s “swelling” became increasingly exaggerated and the noise coming from below repeated incessantly, the astronaut looked at his partner and asked, “I-Is this normal as well?”

“N-No… This is abnormal…” the ice-shaving astronaut said, gulping. “How can the ice layer bulge to such an extent? Cracks and water leaks frequently occur on Jupiter II, but none of them have ever resulted in such a situation.”

“Could it be because the crack the host created is a one-meter-diameter circle? The cracks that previously formed were long and narrow, so the pressure the ice layer was subjected to in those instances isn’t particularly significant.”

“I don’t know. The only thing I know is that we should run…”

As soon as the ice-shaving astronaut made this suggestion, the ice layer’s bulging suddenly increased, the immense force generated sending the Life Sphere flying into the air.

In the next moment…

Booomm!!!

The earth shattered…

Subsequently, a water column reaching over eight kilometers in width shot out of the ice layer and reached a height of 270 kilometers!

Also, the diameter of the water column was still expanding as the ice layer continuously fragmented.

Needless to say, the equipment that the astronauts painstakingly set up before shattered instantly.

The two astronauts also disappeared without a trace.

Chen Yu, who had momentarily fallen into a dizzy state, also snapped out of his daze. And without hesitation, he activated the plasma engine and flew out of the seawater.

Meanwhile, as the camera emerged from the seawater, the livestream’s viewers also got to witness the entirety of this horrific oceanic eruption.

[Crap!]

[Crap!]

[Crap!]

[Is Jupiter II going to disintegrate?]

[Armageddon.]

[This is too terrifying. Places outside of Earth are too scary…]

[Shocked.]

[Crap!]

[Quick, look! Jupiter is sucking away a portion of the seawater!]

[How tall is that thing?]

[Quick! See if there’s a civilization in the sea or not!]

[Even if there was a civilization before, there wouldn’t be any now…]

[Humanity: We love peace.]

[True Peace.]
