Countless human beings in the ocean have been paying close attention to the Mutated Creatures, especially those from deep-sea forbidden zones.
In order to defend against high-level Mutated Creatures’ attack on the land and prevent damage to coastal cities, enormous resources were expended to establish a coastal detection network.
In addition, over the years, human officials have deployed numerous warships on long voyages, working in conjunction with strong cultivators in killing high-order Mutated Creatures.
More than a decade ago, a powerful king-level being even descended to slay a Mythical Giant Beast that had destroyed a coastal city and returned to the ocean.
However, these situations were relatively special, and forces were generally only dispatched when high-order Mutated Creatures attacked coastal cities or assaulted nearby ships, targeting humans.
Apart from this, if high-risk potential Mutated Creatures were discovered and judged to pose a possible danger to humans, they would be eliminated in advance.
As a result, the information about this extremely dangerous situation quickly reached the highest military level.
In less than ten minutes, a small meeting was held to discuss whether to use Sky Base weapons.
Situated around a circular conference table, a middle-aged man in his fifties sat in the main seat, with four people on either side. Among them, the two on the left both emitted the aura of high-level cultivators.
The other two people on the right were ordinary people, but they both possessed the air of research scholars.
As everyone took their seats, the middle-aged man in the main seat looked to his right and said solemnly, “Mr. Lee, what arc your thoughts on this newly emerged Monarch-level Mutant Creature?”
The Elder known as Mr. Lee flipped through several high-resolution satellite images in his hands and compared the data, then hesitated for a moment before saying, “My opinion is relatively conservative.”
“From the initial observation of this Mutated Creature until now, the satellite has captured its image on the sea surface four times, each time further away from the coast.”
“Judging from its trajectory, this Mutated Creature is approaching the deep sea.”
“Under normal conditions, if it grows to Level 9 for a breakthrough, its biological instincts will drive it to enter the mythical world through those deep-sea rifts.”
“Of course, that’s assuming it can grow to Level 9. The Mutated Creatures’ world is even more brutal; it might be devoured by a stronger Giant Beast in a couple of days.”
“Besides, in my memory of the recent incidents of coastal fishing boat attacks, I haven’t found any creatures with similar appearances to this Mutated Beast.”
“Therefore, I am temporarily judging its hostility towards humans as not strong. My suggestion is to continue monitoring; as humans withdraw from the ocean, our conflicts with marine life are minimal.”
“Otherwise, once we take the initiative to strike and fail to kill it but let it escape into the deep sea, the scene from ten years ago could be repeated.”
“Furthermore, due to the greater potential of this Mutated Creature, the threat it poses at that time would be even greater.”
After the Elder finished speaking, the middle-aged man nodded slightly and looked over to the middle-aged man next to the Elder: “Mr. Raven, what is your opinion?”
The middle-aged man seemed to be deep in thought, “My focus is more or less the same as Mr. Lee, tending to be conservative. This Mutated Creature from the ocean is capable of coming ashore and highly intelligent.”
“At just level 7, it is already aware of using the King-level intimidation to subdue other Mutated Creatures, cooperating in hunting, and even establishing a ‘social’ hierarchy.”
“We can tell this from the fact that after the battle, the Turtle-like creature was driven away by the one code-named Thunderflame, who enjoyed the spoils.”
“Under these circumstances, we need to be more cautious. Either be thoroughly prepared, such as deploying another Cloud Sea-class warship equipped with energy bombardment weapons and a late-stage ninth heaven expert.”
“In that case, even if it survived the Sky Base weapon attack by a fluke, we wouldn’t be afraid of any fish slipping through the net, and we could completely annihilate it with overwhelming force.”
“Otherwise, as Mr. Lee suggested, do not pay attention to it as long as it shows no hostility towards humans.”
“Otherwise, if the killing fails, a group of Mutated Creatures full of hostility towards humans may emerge in the deep sea in the future, possibly even affecting the situation there.”
The middle-aged man nodded slightly, looking at the head of the two people on the left: “General Lee, what are your thoughts?”
The middle-aged man said solemnly, “General, our space department has limited research on Mutated Creatures. I can only guarantee that the attack of Sky Base weapons will not miss.”
“According to the current coordinates, the closest satellite is Sky Base Satellite No. 7, a medium space-based weapon that can destroy the entire island within a few kilometers with one strike.”
“Under such power, that Level 7 Mutant Creature wouldn’t survive no matter how great its potential, unless it can teleport or burrow underground.”
As he spoke about the power of the Sky Base weapon, Major General Lance’s face was full of confidence, as it was their space department’s most successful weapon in recent years.
“Burrowing underground!”
The middle-aged man’s brow furrowed, “The information shows that there is a pool in the middle of that desert island. The two Mutated Creatures disappeared for more than ten minutes after entering it.”
Mr. Lee nodded, “Yes, this is one of the reasons for my conservative suggestion.”
The middle-aged man fell silent for a moment, then said solemnly, “Application rejected. Tell them that conditions are insufficient and continue to observe the movements of that Mutated Creature.”
“Temporarily adopt a conservative approach.”
More than a decade ago, due to the rapid development of modern weaponry and cultivation, humans tended to adopt aggressive and overbearing methods towards ocean Mutated Creatures.
Every time a high-order creature that could potentially threaten humans was discovered, they would proactively strike and annihilate it in its infancy. At that time, there were fewer deep-sea forbidden areas.
However, after the incident of a high-order King-level Potential Unique Beast escaping and eventually evolving into a Mythical Giant Beast for revenge more than ten years ago, humans’ attitude towards ocean creatures began to change..
