On the other side, it took Ye Yun and the other three no more than ten minutes to cross the Pacific Ocean and enter the eastern waters of Chushan Island. The US allied fleet was currently resting on that island.
"These ungrateful bastards! I worked so hard to suppress the demon cave for them, and they, in turn, are coming to meddle with us again!" Zhang Junbao cursed loudly as he looked at the brightly lit naval base below.
"Heh, he's targeting me." Ye Yun's figure shot upwards, stopping at an altitude of ten thousand meters. He gazed down at the fleet below, a smile playing on his lips.
The three Heavenly beings, usually so aloof, were now pale with fear. The altitude was simply too great; if they fell, even they, as Heavenly beings, would not survive.
"If he's targeting me, he should be prepared to break all his teeth!"
Ye Yun's fingers flickered in the void, and strands of purple electricity flowed between them. Under the astonished gazes of the three, they drifted downwards. Simultaneously, Ye Yun thrust his right hand towards the sea surface below, fanning and pressing down! The sea immediately churned with violent winds, and waves rose dozens of meters high!
The purple lightning that had been dropped, as it fell a thousand meters, transformed from hair-thin strands into a thousand-meter-long bolt, like a flash of lightning, descending rapidly towards the deep-water naval base below.
*Boom...*
The lightning struck the sea, cloaking the churning waves, dozens of meters high, in a net of electricity. It instantly swept across the entire naval base.
"What's going on? Weren't we told the weather would be clear and sunny these past few days? You call this clear and sunny?" White had lost his usual composure. Dozens of meters of colossal waves were enough to inflict immense damage on the fleet.
Dozens of carrier-based aircraft, not yet secured, were overturned by the furious winds and waves. Some even, a dozen aircraft and helicopters, were swept away by the crests of the waves. The entire deck was littered with scattered debris and wreckage!
"General, our latest weather forecast system found no mention of such extreme weather! And our people specifically checked the weather forecasts. We've looked at the forecasts for Chushan Island, China, and even Sakura Country."
"Damn it, don't worry about that for now! Hurry up and flood the docks! If these warships capsize, we'll all be finished!"
White thought of the history of 1944. Back then, the waves were only twenty-odd meters high, but now they were twice as tall!
"General! Bad news, we can't contact the personnel on board. Someone just went out to check and reported that these waves carried lightning. When the waves crashed onto the fleet, there was a massive lightning strike! The people on board are likely all..." At this moment, a Colonel ran over. Judging by his uniform, he was an officer from the Sun Never Sets Empire!
"What, with lightning? How many people are still on board?" White's eyes widened in disbelief. Extreme weather comparable to a super-super typhoon was one thing, but a lightning strike on top of it? His face was ashen.
If only their American fleet had suffered this extreme weather, he might have just resigned. But this time, he was leading the Kangaroo Country, the Sun Never Sets Empire, the Three Indian Nations, and Sakura Country! Under these circumstances, the consequences would be far more severe than the "Child of the Storm" incident of the past!
"This... That island is too small to accommodate too many people, so... estimated to be over three thousand people..." the Colonel from the Sun Never Sets Empire stammered, a hint of fear in his voice.
He had initially thought it would be a mere formality, a show of force before returning, gaining some experience in joint exercises with Admiral White of the United States, and then working his way up. He never expected such a situation. After this, his career as a Colonel would likely come to an end.
Over three thousand people!
Hearing this number, White finally broke down, tears welling up in his eyes. He knew he was definitely going to face a military tribunal. Three thousand people! In ten years of war in Fu Shui Country, the United States had lost no more than two thousand soldiers! And he, just by coming out for an exercise, had lost three thousand? Who would believe this?
"Mister Colonel from the Sun Never Sets Empire, do you have a sidearm?" White's eyes were bloodshot, filled with a suicidal resolve.
These three thousand soldiers were not comparable to those lost in Fu Shui Country. At least half of them were highly skilled, top-tier technical personnel. Each one could be considered a top military industrial talent in the United States.
"Apologies, General."
Being as proud as they were, how could they carry firearms? That was a sign of cowardice and incompetence.
*Boom...*
A tremendous explosion rocked the air. A warship finally succumbed to the onslaught of wind, waves, and lightning, detonating. This explosion immediately triggered a chain reaction, and one warship after another exploded, the entire sea surface erupting in fire.
The fires on the sea were a minor issue, as most were caused by fuel leaks. What was truly terrifying were the ships carrying large ammunition depots. One after another, they exploded from within, breaking in half. The tremors caused by this were so strong that they could be felt even in the Lotus District of Chushan Island, a hundred kilometers away, making people mistake it for an earthquake.
Meanwhile, Sakura Country was in an uproar. To showcase their country's joint action with the United States to the Sakura Country's citizens, their NS television station had installed dozens, even hundreds, of cameras on that island and dispatched over a dozen accompanying reporters to record the entire event.
"What the heck? Is the news so bad now that they're inserting war movies mid-broadcast?"
"Haha, what country made this movie? It's quite good."
"An epic masterpiece! Look at the actor playing Admiral White of the US, his appearance, expressions, and movements are all spot on. Does anyone have a link? I'm begging for it!"
"Holy crap, this is too shocking! Is this a recreation of the historical event in 1944 where the general fought against the storm? I love it, I love it! Uncle Sam finally dares to confront the reason for the decline of the Third Fleet."
Countless Sakura Country netizens were watching on NS's live broadcast platform. They clapped their hands in delight as they saw planes being blown over by the wind and swept away by the waves. When they saw White's expression as he asked the Colonel from the Sun Never Sets Empire for a sidearm, they even tagged Admiral White directly on Facebook, giving full affirmation to the actor's performance.
However...
"Son of a bitch! NS! You're deceiving my feelings! When it reached the climax, you actually cut to commercials? Give me back my time!"
"Does anyone want to go smash the NS building with me? I watched for nearly ten minutes and still don't even know the title of the show!"
"Agreed +1"
...
Little did they know, NS was in chaos. They knew this was a live broadcast of the US military on that island, and unexpectedly, such an accident had occurred. If this were to become known, it would cause the military prestige of several countries to plummet! Therefore, their leadership immediately decided to insert commercials.
Fortunately, it was late at night in Asia, so the number of viewers was relatively small.
But little did they know, the accompanying reporters were not limited to just Sakura Country. And with today's advanced satellites, the situation on that island was clearly visible to the high-definition satellites of several developed countries.
Ten thousand meters above That Island!
This...
Moving mountains and seas!
Zhang Junbao, the Prince, and the Pope watched the scene below, utterly speechless. Only these four words echoed in their minds. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that humans could achieve such a level.
One hand, fanning and pressing down! Creating such a terrifying disaster!
Even as Heavenly beings, they could not achieve a tenth of this power.
Looking at Ye Yun's calm expression, the three of them felt an urge to prostrate themselves in worship.
