Chapter 1379: Aurora Lord vs. Seventh Fleet

The bright red theatrical robe also arrived on the deck. Chen Ling looked up at the white shadow under the aurora, his expression somewhat surprised.

He had thought that the Aurora Lord, who could capture soul magnetic fields, would have a significant increase in strength after absorbing millions of souls, but he hadn't expected Yang Xiao's progress to be so fast... A few days ago, he had only just stepped into the Fourth Tier, and now the aura he was emitting had even surpassed Chen Ling's when he wasn't using his second personality.

In other words, Yang Xiao's power was now at the Seventh to Eighth Tier level, far ahead of the rest, making him the strongest among the Nine Lords of this era.

"What is that? Aurora?"

"Damn it, why have the missiles we fired stopped moving?"

"Is it an Eastern job-changer? I've never heard of a job-changer related to aurora..."

"Is he the one who destroyed the Seal Fleet?"

"Fire!! Keep fir..."

"Zzzzzzzzz..."

As the gorgeous aurora flowed in the air, the internal communications of the entire Seventh Fleet went silent simultaneously!

Not only that, under an electromagnetic storm, whether it was the surface combat fleet, the submarine fleet, or the airborne combat units that had already taken off, all electronic equipment was paralyzed!

Especially the airborne combat units. With electronics failing, a large number of fourth and fifth-generation aircraft lost almost all combat capability. If it weren't for the emergency backup power kicking in, they would have struggled to maintain even basic flight, let alone fight Yang Xiao. Whether they could land and survive depended entirely on their individual flight experience and luck.

Radar failed, communications failed, automatic missile targeting failed, intelligent fire suppression systems failed, digital operating rooms shut down...

Yang Xiao hadn't even done anything yet, and the Western giant that had been baring its fangs had already been declawed, becoming a blind lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

In modern warfare, the Aurora Lord was no different from a god.

Yang Xiao's gaze swept over the missiles he had frozen in the air, and he waved his hand gently. They turned around and shot straight toward the Seventh Fleet!

At the same time, interceptor missiles rapidly rose from the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, but without the Aegis system's automatic interception, relying only on manual interception, the interception rate was shockingly low. Out of a total of thirty-five missiles, only four were successfully intercepted.

In a series of deafening roars, over thirty warships were hit by missiles, and thick black smoke billowed into the sky.

"Is this the power of the Aurora Lord..."

On the deck of the destroyer, the bright red theatrical robe fluttered in the wind. He watched quietly as Yang Xiao took on the Seventh Fleet alone, unable to help but sigh.

Facing such a powerful fleet, even Chen Ling with his second personality activated probably couldn't win easily. After all, he could only rely on his own world-destroying calamity body to withstand missiles, equivalent to a primitive man carrying a club to smash a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. Although he did have the strength to smash them, it would take some effort.

Looking at Yang Xiao, he was just standing there, and it was an undisputed crushing victory.

Of course, this didn't mean that Yang Xiao was now stronger than Chen Ling, just that in the field of modern warfare, he possessed absolute dominance.

"You were the ones who fired the nuclear weapons first... You were the ones who started this war, and you were the ones who caused hundreds of millions of people to become ghosts in a sea of fire!" Yang Xiao's eyes, filled with aurora, glared at the fleet flying those flags. The screams of millions of souls who died miserably in the nuclear strike echoed in his ears again.

"You... must pay the price!!"

Yang Xiao's hands slowly lifted, as if he were manipulating the surrounding Earth's magnetic field. The fighter jets that hadn't taken off yet on the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier suddenly began to tremble violently!

Bang, bang, bang, bang—

All the fighter jets and the carrier's securing devices automatically popped open. The fighter jets seemed to be pulled by some force, floating directly toward the sky!

On the deck of the aircraft carrier, a large number of American soldiers saw this scene. While instinctively retreating, they widened their eyes in disbelief, and shouts and exclamations were endless...

As Yang Xiao released his hands, the dense fighter jets suspended in the sky fell directly toward the sea!

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—!!!

These fighter jets either crashed into the sea, exploding into fireballs, or smashed into the fleet or the aircraft carrier, destroying most of it directly. The massive, magnificent fleet was instantly turned into a sea of fire.

With both air and surface combat capabilities paralyzed, Yang Xiao didn't stop. His gaze fell beneath the sea, and he clapped his hands gently.

In an instant, the hulls of the submarine fleet lurking under the sea suddenly twisted and cracked. The pressure of the seawater directly destroyed the structure of these submarines from the twisted points. Without Yang Xiao needing to do anything else, they tore the submarine fleet into pieces!

Killing these underwater submarines was even easier than dealing with the fleet on the surface.

During this time, the aircraft carrier and the fleet tried to bombard Yang Xiao with missiles, but none could get close to his body. These missiles turned lightly under the aurora and flew back to their launch sites automatically, and terrifying explosions erupted on the sea once again!

Submarines sank, the fleet caught fire, and fighter jets crashed into the sea one after another in the chaos...

This ace U.S. fleet hadn't even reached the Eastern border, nor had it been able to send even a single distress signal to its homeland, before being completely destroyed under the aurora.

Watching the Seventh Fleet gradually sink into the sea, the sky full of aurora gradually dimmed. The white-clad figure slowly floated down from the sky and returned to the deck of the destroyer.

"How does it feel to have absolute crushing power?" Chen Ling raised an eyebrow.

Yang Xiao's face was somewhat pale. He looked at the direction where the Seventh Fleet had sunk and said hoarsely:

"Not very good... wailing, roaring, calls for help, prayers... I can hear the voices of each of them after death, and I can only watch it all happen... I am the culprit behind all of this."

This was the first time Yang Xiao had killed anyone, and he had killed so many people at once. He could hear the roars and curses of everyone after their deaths... This was the ability of the Aurora Lord, and also the curse of the Aurora Lord.

"Do you regret it?"

"No." Yang Xiao shook his head. "They were the ones who initiated the war, so they have to bear the price of failure... My life was saved by the millions of souls in Tongzhou. They died because of it, so of course I have to avenge them."

Chen Ling could feel that the Yang Xiao now was different from the Yang Xiao he first met in Shennongjia... People always grow. In this chaotic world, Yang Xiao was also gradually transforming from that introverted, closed-off scientist into the Aurora Lord who could truly shoulder the future of humanity.

"Are you not going to absorb those dead souls?" Chen Ling pointed to the sky above the Seventh Fleet, where the vengeful spirits were drifting. "Absorb them, and you will become stronger faster."

"No." Yang Xiao refused without hesitation. "I study magnetic fields for the progress of humanity, to protect more people... not to capture the souls of others as my power.

Merging with those miserable souls in Tongzhou was an unconscious act. That was the first time, and it will be the last.

I hope that from now on...

My aurora will only be born for protection."
