Chapter 589 - 587: Alone in the Dragon’s Lair

Under the leadership of Mori Mako.

Fenric arrived at the weapons warehouse.

The Black general was already waiting there. When he saw Fenric arrive, he immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Welcome to our arsenal."

Fenric nodded, greeted him briefly, and went straight to the point.

"What I need?"

"Over here!"

The general pointed toward the front left.

There stood a large iron rack, on which a massive missile was placed.

The missile alone was nearly ten meters long.

It was easy to imagine that once it exploded, the destructive power would be astonishing.

"This is Ava No. 6."

The general introduced it from the side.

"It is the most powerful nuclear weapon currently in our base. Its yield is equivalent to twenty million tons. Once it detonates, the blast radius can reach one hundred kilometers and can completely destroy a small city."

Fenric nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.

With that level of power, if it exploded inside the kaiju nest, it would be enough for him to secure a Super-God evaluation.

"Sir, this nuclear bomb weighs quite a lot. Do you need us to send a Jaeger to assist you?" the general asked.

"Heavy?"

Fenric walked over to the nuclear bomb, grabbed the handle attached to its side—

And lifted it with one hand.

"It’s indeed not light, but it’s fine. I can handle it."

Fenric said calmly.

The surrounding soldiers looked at him with even greater awe.

They all knew very well how heavy that nuclear bomb was.

Precisely because they understood its weight, they realized how terrifying Fenric’s strength was.

The general’s face twitched slightly.

"Then... that’s fine."

Fenric smiled.

In truth.

If someone assisted him, the task would certainly be easier.

However, Fenric was worried that the system might distribute credit to other participants.

So he preferred to handle the entire mission alone.

"By the way, how do I make this big thing explode? I mean, is there some kind of remote control?" Fenric asked.

"There is."

The Black general took a remote controller from a nearby shelf and handed it to Fenric, explaining how to use it.

"Sir, this is the safety switch. After turning it on, pressing the red button will activate Ava’s detonation program. The countdown is set for sixty seconds. I recommend that you press the button and leave immediately."

Fenric took the remote control, examined it briefly, and then stored it away.

At that moment, the general pointed toward a piece of semi-metal armor nearby.

"Sir, this is a diving suit specially designed for you by our graduate research team."

"Most of its outer layer is made from kaiju hide armor."

"Inside there is also a support system that allows you to breathe underwater for up to four hours."

"The most important thing is that it is very lightweight and will not affect your combat performance."

Fenric was very satisfied with the preparations made by the general.

"Very good. Leave the rest to me."

As soon as he finished speaking,

Fenric picked up the equipment and turned to leave.

The Black general was momentarily stunned. He had not expected Fenric to act so quickly.

"Mr—"

Fenric turned his head.

"Do you have something else to say?"

"I only meant that you could take a longer rest before departing."

"No need."

...

A certain mysterious sea area.

Fenric carried the nuclear bomb Ava No. 6 and dived deep into the ocean.

Soon, in the depths of the seabed, he noticed a faint light.

It was almost certain that this was the entrance to the kaiju nest.

The reason Fenric found it so quickly was not because he perfectly remembered the plot.

No matter how well someone remembered the story, it would be impossible to recall such details so precisely.

Moreover, in the original plot, only the approximate sea region of the entrance had been mentioned.

Finding it alone without spending several days would be nearly impossible.

The reason Fenric located it so quickly was largely thanks to the coordinates provided by the Black general.

Following the direction of the light, Fenric quickly swam toward the opening like a fish.

Although he could not use the Sea God’s Ring, Fenric still possessed telekinetic power.

With his current level of mental strength, manipulating the surrounding seawater with telekinesis was extremely easy.

This effectively allowed him to move freely underwater.

Just as Fenric approached the entrance—

Suddenly.

His Death Sense issued a warning.

The warning was not very intense, indicating that danger was approaching but was not life-threatening.

Even so, Fenric instinctively chose to dodge.

After all.

He was currently carrying a nuclear weapon.

If the bomb detonated prematurely, even he might not survive. Although the possibility was extremely small, nuclear weapons always had safety mechanisms and were not easily triggered.

"Whoosh!"

A powerful current surged.

Fenric had barely moved aside when a massive black shadow swept past his original position.

The shadow was long, wide, and enormous.

Looking closely—

It was actually a giant tail.

If Fenric had not dodged just now, that tail would have struck him directly.

With his Armament Haki and self-healing ability, he probably would not have died.

But the Ava nuclear bomb in his hands would certainly have been destroyed.

Thinking of this, Fenric’s expression darkened.

His eyes turned toward a certain direction in the ocean.

In that direction—

A massive shadow lurked.

There was no need to guess.

It had to be the kaiju guarding the entrance.

The next moment.

The huge shadow suddenly rushed toward Fenric.

"Courting death!"

Fenric snorted coldly.

He temporarily set Ava No. 6 aside and clenched his fists.

...

Inside the military base.

At this moment.

Countless high-ranking officials had gathered inside the massive command room, monitoring Fenric’s movements.

The Black general had secretly modified Fenric’s diving suit by installing a positioning transmitter.

Of course, this device was harmless.

They simply wanted to observe how the battle progressed.

Fenric was actually aware of this—

But he silently allowed it.

"Teacher, do you think he will succeed?"

Mori Mako stood beside the Black general and asked softly while watching the monitor.

The Black general kept his eyes fixed on the screen and replied without turning his head.

"If even he cannot succeed, then no one will be able to stop those kaijus."

Mako fell silent immediately.

She understood that her teacher had placed all his hopes on that man.

At that moment.

A technician suddenly shouted loudly.

"Another lifeform detected! It’s approaching Project A!"

Project A.

This was the codename the military had assigned to Fenric.

When the Black general turned to look, the technician exclaimed in shock.

"Oh my God... it’s another Category Four kaiju!"
