Chapter 299: Chapter 297: Escape from Death _1 Chapter 299: Chapter 297: Escape from Death _1 “Corpse Mountain seemed to have just been in the way of that Demon Lord, getting chopped in half right away,”

Colin had a rough sense of how his summoned creature died.

He knew the unfortunate Little Fist Stone happened to be in its path and was cleaved into two, returning directly to the Card Graveyard.

Now, when he appeared here and Dog Brother and the others saw him, they immediately got excited:

“Brother Shunzi is back!”

With Brother Shunzi back, everything would turn out alright!

“The battle over there will probably end soon. No matter who wins, it doesn’t seem to bode well for me. The Demon has a time limit, while the pirate doesn’t, but he might not chase too far. All things considered, it’s best to get away from here for now.”

Colin had made some decisions and then commanded ‘Yukionna’ to use her power.

In an instant, bone-chilling cold erupted, instantly freezing many of the infected within the seawater. A substantial area seemed to have plunged to absolute zero…

‘Yukionna,’ after consuming the ‘Colorless Crystal,’ was not to be underestimated either.

Seeing this, the others couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

“If it weren’t for her slightly nasty personality, liking to freeze living things into ice sculptures, I would probably have destroyed this ring and let her out a long time ago.”

In the blink of an eye, Colin moved onto the ‘Deep Sea Unicorn Whale’, which had a big hole torn in it, and with a ghost-like presence, he passed through the submarine’s shell to the still dry rear section.

There was an emergency chamber there, not large, but enough to fit a few of them.

The others followed him, entering the chamber as well.

Colin looked at them, just about to speak, but couldn’t help coughing up blood again.

“You…”

“It’s nothing. My issue isn’t that serious, cough cough…”

His voice hoarse, Colin waved his hand, signaling there was nothing to worry about.

Due to the ‘Repulsion’ within his body, he guessed some blood vessels had burst, but it wasn’t in a critical area, so it wasn’t too big of a deal.

“Right, I’ve finished making my bomb.”

The Arsonist suddenly spoke up, pointing to an object one meter tall and saying, “If we’re lucky, the power here is equivalent to at least one to several tons of TNT, which is my personal limit…”

Hearing his words, everyone present took in a sharp breath.

Most of them had experience with firearms and explosives, so they knew what over a ton of TNT meant. If thrown onto an ordinary aircraft carrier and hitting the right spot, it could even sink the carrier.

If it exploded here and their reaction was a bit slow, everyone present would be done for.

‘To make something so powerful so casually, you’d be seriously dangerous if you weren’t locked up in prison…’

Colin scanned the Arsonist from top to bottom, giving the latter the creeps.

“Cough cough, although I possess some special knowledge, making these things isn’t as easy as you think. Of course, I haven’t done anything particularly bad either.”

The Arsonist explained, and then quickly handed a remote control to Colin while introducing the item:

“I added some special powder to the inside, discovered during an incident, a special material that can suppress the supernatural. So, compared to ordinary bombs, it might even kill ghostly entities…”

“This here is the remote detonation switch. Underwater, the remote control distance is around a kilometer. If we’re not careful, we’re likely to get blown up badly ourselves.

“For the password, entering 399054 will detonate it immediately, while entering 427111 sets it to explode after ten minutes. If you need anything else, I can make adjustments… You decide how to use it.”

Brother Shunzi had only asked him to make it powerful enough, and he was curious to see how the other guy would use it.

Because of the added powder, if the detonation distance was too close, they’d all likely be in big trouble…

“Good, but we don’t need it for now. Keep it.”

Colin took the remote control, examined it, and then picked it up with one hand.

The Arsonist was startled by this action; although the explosive device didn’t seem large, it weighed several hundred pounds. Brother Shunzi was able to lift it single-handedly without using any supernatural means, just pure physical strength.

Seeing this, the rest felt reassured by Brother Shunzi’s formidable constitution, also relieved that it likely meant he was indeed alright.

“So, what do we do next?” Dog Brother asked.

“Escape.”

Colin was succinct, not waiting for their questions and continued, “All you need to do shortly is to sit tight. The submarine might deform and leak water.”

The Little Maid informed him that although the submarine was severely damaged in battle, the power source was mostly fine.

The only issue was that if they wanted to get away immediately, they needed a thrust…

Colin decided he would be that thrust.

‘Peter is dead, so it might be a bit tricky to find our way, but with his instruments and the sea charts, the Little Maid should almost be able to decipher it.’

With that thought, Colin no longer hesitated and quickly moved outside the submarine, dragging the tail of the submarine with one hand and sticking “The False Powerhouse” onto his body, then he popped a “Colorless Crystal.”

“Even if I am in the deep sea, needing one hand to drag the submarine, I can still manage to escape…”

After grumbling to himself, Colin took a deep breath, allowing the Nano Intellectual Mechanism to reinforce the submarine at full strength, and then used frost to increase the contact area between himself and the submarine.

Finally, before the fierce battle at the rear concluded, Colin activated the “Force – Repulsive Force” effect.

This time he used the card for a sustained effect instead of a single burst, significantly enhancing the submarine’s speed for a short duration to a terrifying level.

Even for a submarine produced by a major deep-sea factory, it now trembled as if it were about to disintegrate.

Crack…

Just as Colin had said, the immense water pressure from the super-fast speed exceeded the submarine’s load-bearing capacity, and many areas not reinforced by the Nano Intellectual Mechanism showed cracks immediately.

Massive amounts of seawater flooded in instantly, and the crew inside clung together, getting battered beyond recognition by the wash, so much so that they had to use “Tyrant Body” to withstand the onrush.

At last, after enduring nearly three minutes of intense water pressure, the submarine began to slow down.

“Cough cough cough…”

Colin walked into the submarine staggeringly, his face deathly pale, blood continuously spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Using the power continuously for three minutes had pushed his body to the brink, and if it weren’t for “The False Powerhouse” making him insist on keeping up appearances, Colin guessed he would probably be writhing on the floor, howling in misery…

Nevertheless, even so, after staggering in, he found a spot to sit down at random.

“Your status is detected to be extremely critical, repairs are needed to halt further damage, do you agree?” the voice of the Little Maid rang in his ear.

“Do I look like the type of weakling who needs healing?”

Colin intended to reject haughtily, but a gush of blood forced him to suppress his “instinct” and nod his head.

Instantly, a surge of “Nano Intellectual Mechanism” flooded into his body, starting to mend his internally displaced organs.

That’s when a glowing hand placed itself on his shoulder.

A powerful blessing effect was bestowed upon him.

The frightening injuries inside him were quickly being suppressed…

Colin turned his head to take a look and was slightly startled. “The Light Chaser,” who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, was casting buffs on him.

“Directly eliminating the negative effects for me? With such strong effects, he’s not going to drain all my points later, is he?”

Colin was alarmed, fearing for his finances.

But then he thought, buff payments had to be approved by him, and since the option didn’t arise, he could only assume that the other party was offering the buff free of charge.

While Colin was lost in his wild thoughts, “The Light Chaser,” upon seeing his condition stabilize, withdrew her hand.

She still wasn’t entirely sure what had happened.

In her vision, everything around was quite blurred, with only a vague perception of several employees scurrying about, their vitality fluctuating between strong and weak, seemingly under attack.

And just now, the one she was more concerned about, his life force had dropped to a critical point, verging on severe injury and shock.

Without waiting for the Parchment to propose any tasks of bestowing a 5-point blessing, she immediately intervened to stabilize Colin’s condition.

Leaving aside her own attitude towards life, just the fact that the Holy Relic was in Colin’s hands, she couldn’t let him die here.

Fortunately, the problem wasn’t too serious.

After forcefully erasing the negative effects from Colin’s body, he recovered almost instantly.

But this action made her avatar noticeably dimmer, and it probably wouldn’t last much longer before disappearing, potentially costing her several dozen points…

This caused her some distress.

“Thank you.”

Colin said with gratitude, then stood up, intending to ask the other party whether this buff, which forcefully erased the negative effects of items, was for sale or not, but he noticed she suddenly turned her head towards a certain direction.

Following her gaze and sensing for a moment, he was startled…

Because from there, the power of another terrifying existence was pursuing them!

“The Crimson Abyss’s aura… wasn’t Omar trapped? No, that’s not Omar; it’s support from other cities!”

Colin suddenly realized that the human cities nearby must have already fallen under the encroachment of “The Crimson Abyss,” and while he was engaged with the sea pirates, those fallen cities probably already dispatched reinforcements!

And with their current strength, they had no way to face another blessed being like Omar!

“In the end, do we still have to fight with all we’ve got?”

Colin sighed deeply.

However, it was at this moment that he suddenly noticed a large group of gorgeous “Sea Sirens” swimming towards their battered submarine.
