At the same time.
The secular world.
A certain sea area of the Pacific Ocean.
Inky night.
Scattered stars and a crescent moon hung high in the sky, emitting a cool, distant light.
A luxurious cruise ship was sailing on the sea, its lights dazzling brightly.
The name of this luxury cruise ship was "Queen Victoria."
Its total length was nearly 300 meters, with twelve decks, capable of accommodating two to three thousand people. It was exceptionally lavish, resembling a palace on the sea.
Although it was already midnight.
The cruise ship remained bustling with activity.
Many were enjoying themselves in different areas of the cabin.
Some were standing on the deck, admiring the ocean view, feeling the sea breeze, drinking alcohol, and chatting.
But at this moment.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Crash crash crash!
The maritime region suddenly erupted with gusts of wind, causing the ocean to churn violently!
Waves surged high, making the entire cruise ship sway!
Many on the deck could barely stand, their faces filled with baffled expressions!
"What’s going on?!"
"Is this a tsunami?!"
"Everyone, don’t panic! This cruise ship is massive; it can surely withstand these waves and wind!"
People exclaimed in alarm, though many still carried on indifferently.
However, the storm at sea intensified—the ocean churned even more violently!
The cruise ship’s swaying grew increasingly severe!
Many people stumbled or fell on the deck!
"Something’s wrong! These waves are not natural!"
"Quick, notify the captain to leave this area immediately!"
Many aboard the ship struggled to their feet, intending to alert the captain.
But next came a scene that left everyone on the ship stunned!
One after another, enormous Deep Sea Monsters leapt from the ocean, completely encircling the cruise ship!
These Deep Sea Monsters varied in size—some were merely a few meters long, while others reached dozens of meters!
Sea Serpents, sharks, whales, squids, and other creatures appeared, all with bizarre appearances, utterly unfamiliar as common species!
Crucially, the number of Deep Sea Monsters emerging from the ocean continued to increase, exceeding tens of thousands!
A dark mass filled the entire maritime region!
"Oh my god! What’s happening here? Why are so many Deep Sea Monsters showing up?!"
"What are these Deep Sea Monsters trying to do? They can’t be planning to attack us, right?!"
"Impossible! We haven’t provoked them! Why would they attack us?!"
The people aboard the ship stared blankly at the scene before them, trembling all over.
But just as everyone was in shock!
"Wow woo woo woo!"
The Deep Sea Monsters let out piercing roars and launched an assault on the cruise ship!
Bang, bang, bang!
Thudding impacts resounded!
The entire cruise ship shook violently, quivering and trembling!
The sturdy hull began to crack under the attacks!
Many Deep Sea Monsters even leapt onto the ship, launching assaults on humans!
"Ah..."
"Insane... these beasts have completely lost their minds!"
"Run! Hurry, run!"
Screams and cries of despair resonated through the sky and sea.
Some fled frantically for their lives, while many others were pinned to the ground and brutally mauled to death by the Deep Sea Monsters.
Blood dyed the decks layer by layer, forming an utterly horrifying sight.
"What’s happening?!"
"Oh my God! What are these monsters?!"
Many who had been inside the cabin rushed out.
Upon witnessing the scene outside, they immediately fled back into the cabin in terror.
But the Deep Sea Monsters followed them inside, beginning a massacre.
"Ahhh..."
"God! Help! Help us!"
"Someone save us! Save us!"
In an instant!
Boom boom boom!
Wave after towering wave surged upward like colossal cannons, knocking down helicopters in mid-air!
Lifeboats were reduced to splinters by the waves!
Everyone aboard the helicopters and lifeboats met their ends!
The merfolk leader declared coldly: "Don’t waste your efforts. None of you will escape!"
In less than an hour!
The entire cruise ship shattered, slowly sinking into the depths of the ocean!
The over two thousand people aboard perished entirely, buried at sea!
The merfolk leader swept his gaze across the surroundings, and confirming no survivors, wielded his long spear, "We leave now!"
Without delay, the merfolk and Deep Sea Monsters plunged into the ocean, swiftly departing the scene...
...
Meanwhile.
Eight kilometers above the Atlantic Ocean.
A civil aviation aircraft flew smoothly through the skies.
Passengers aboard were either dozing off, chatting, or reading magazines.
But at this moment.
"Everyone, look outside! What’s that?!"
A startled cry sounded within the cabin.
"We’re over eight thousand meters above ground! What could possibly be outside besides clouds?"
"Could it be UFOs?"
"Or unidentified creatures?"
Joking remarks filled the cabin as everyone turned their attention out the windows.
But upon seeing the scene outside!
People aboard the aircraft were frozen in shock, utterly startled!
A massive swarm of humanoid creatures with dark gray bodies, blood-red eyes, and enormous wings had descended from all directions, their shadows blotting out the skies!
"Oh my god! What are these beings, capable of flying?!"
"No, they aren’t human—they’re humanoid creatures merely resembling humans!"
"What are they planning?!"
The passengers screamed in fright, bodies quaking, their faces pale with terror.
