Chapter 800: Chapter 496: Doesn’t Matter, I’ll Step In

In the following month,

Wang Ye spent almost the entire time moving toward Earth at a hundred times the speed of sound in the pitch-black deep space.

Since Mercury is still hundreds of millions of kilometers away from Earth, even if Mercury exploded, this distance would remain constant, so this journey is unavoidable.

Unless he achieved the speed of light, enabling him to return to Earth from the Sun in 8 minutes. But that is impossible.

Thus, he still had to honestly use his maximum speed to spend 30 days traveling back to Earth.

The time cost of this journey is naturally within Wang Ye’s consideration. He knows that with humanity’s current technological level, in these 30 days, they would not be entirely devoured by the terrifying sea monsters in the ocean.

However, since the terrifying sea monsters are constantly evolving, the energy decomposed from the crystal remnants on the seabed won’t be absorbed quickly. With the potential of those large Earth creatures, they may eventually evolve into genuine interstellar giant beasts. Moreover, the monsters he cultivated could very likely lose their sanity due to soaking in high-concentration energy and turn to attack humans, causing humanity to suffer.

At this moment on Earth, although the situation over on Mercury has basically been quelled, the influence left by Wang Ye still stirred a vigorous wave among all humanity, with astronomers from various countries beginning urgent detection of Mercury’s position in the next month, and news outlets from various countries real-time publishing their detection results.

Everyone can clearly see through the detected trajectory that Mercury is slowly shifting toward the Sun at an uncontrollable speed. Initially, the deviation angle wasn’t large, but as time passes, its deviation angle increasingly approaches vertical. Under the Sun’s gravitational influence, its movement speed is getting faster and more difficult to stop. From the current situation, a collision between Mercury and the Sun has become an inevitable future.

Astronomy became the hottest discipline among all humanity for a time. Most people began learning some basic astronomy just to understand the Mercury trajectory maps in the news.

No one knows what will happen after Mercury collides with the Sun, although astronomers and top leaders have publicly stated that a collision between Mercury and the Sun won’t affect Earth.

Yet human populace still couldn’t suppress spreading panic. That’s a nearby star that accompanied Earth for billions of years, and now, it was truly destroyed by Wang Ye’s hand.

In the past, most countries facing such situations might have suppressed the opinions through internet means, reducing further spread of panic.

However, at present, high-level officials of various countries have no mind to do this.

Because their life and death survival is already precarious.

In the crisis of survival, societal instability must be put on the back burner.

After all, staying alive is the primary task.

Whether society is stable or not is a topic for later.

Nowadays, under the threat of countless evolving creatures in the seabed, many small coastal nations are on the brink of extinction.

According to statistics, so far, five giant squids over 100 meters long have appeared, and more than ten fierce piranhas over fifty meters long. These creatures have an extraordinarily fierce aggressiveness, and with the current military power of humanity, they can only barely repel the offensives without being able to completely annihilate them.

The most terrifying aspect is, as time goes on, these creatures will gradually evolve, becoming more terrifying.

If they wish to stop their evolution, they can only behead and eradicate, but how numerous are the seabed creatures? Even if they exhaust all their ammunition and efforts to kill one giant squid, so what?

Countless other creatures continue evolving ceaselessly, and they still don’t know how many giant squids are hidden under the sea.

Profound despair spreads in the hearts of countless people; those leisurely watching the Mercury situation now are extremely few.

Yet, compared to other countries, China seems much more stable.

Since they anticipated this disaster well beforehand, along with Wang Ye leaving them many precious items, in contrast to other countries, they seem much more adept in combating this disaster.

Currently, residents of coastal cities have been urgently relocated inland, while a large defense line has been established at the outermost coastal layer to block the invasion of sea monsters. Now, most overseas have gained amphibian abilities under the evolution, so relocating them inland is only a temporary stratagem. Ultimately, military force must be relied upon to suppress those sea monsters.

Led by Wu Chen, the evolvers are leading soldiers in the front-line region to counter sea monsters, preventing their invasion.

But what makes everyone somewhat puzzled is that the United States seems inactive in this disaster. However, what they don’t know is, they are currently using crystal clusters to conduct experiments on evolvers, with the number of experimental subjects dying in the evolution experiments far exceeding fifty.

Yet, despite investing so much effort and cost, they haven’t managed to evolve a decent evolver, each experimental subject eventually evolves into an uncontrollable alien being.

Despite their efforts to control the energy output, record each sample’s evolution process, and attempt to adjust the energy output to a perfect speed, it seems like the results brought by this evolutionary energy always turn into uncontrollable monsters.
