Chapter 427 Oceanic Titan !

Chapter 427 Oceanic Titan !

Beneath the moonlit expanse of the deep, Overlord commenced its quest. With unparalleled grace, it glided through the fathomless depths of the ocean, embarking on a journey spanning over 3,000 nautical miles without a moment's pause. Neither the need for sustenance nor the beckoning of rest could deter it from its mission.

Last night, under midnight shroud, Overlord arrived at a secluded seaside warehouse. The sheer awe of this massive entity's arrival was concealed in the silence of the night. It moved with a purpose, carrying out a covert operation.

Within the cavernous confines of the warehouse, it meticulously deposited the coveted black metal cargo, a precious load sought by none other than Liu Yong himself. The task was executed with an innate precision that only a creature of Overlord's magnitude could achieve. As the first rays of dawn began to streak the horizon, Overlord decided it was time to sate its relentless appetite.

Amidst the sapphire depths, Overlord had chanced upon an aquatic feast - a giant fish exceeding a weight of 1,000 jins. It devoured this massive creature with ravenous hunger, the symphony of crunching and gulping resonating in the silent ocean abyss.

Amid this aquatic banquet, the telepathic voice of Liu Yong pierced Overlord's thoughts. Overlord hesitantly responded, "Master, the requested items have been secured in the seaside warehouse."

Liu Yong's gratitude flowed through their unique mental connection, "Overlord, I'm truly grateful."

In its humility, Overlord responded with a tinge of humour, "It's hard work, but at the moment, my primary concern is this insatiable hunger."

With the oceanic panorama as its backdrop, Overlord continued its feast, pausing only for a moment to respond. UsuIt would have preferred the tender flesh of giant deep-sea octopuses over this sizeable fish. However, hunger had a remarkable way of transforming one's perspective.

Ten hours had passed without sustenance, and Overlord's voracity knew no bounds. The food it had typically shunned now tasted like the nectar of the gods. Several colossal fish, with the largest weighing over a thousand catties and the smallest still exceeding several hundred catties, disappeared into the depths of Overlord's cavernous gullet. Yet, despite this colossal banquet, a gnawing emptiness lingered, akin to a voracious beast that could devour an entire whale in a single gulp.

In an ironic twist of fate, Overlord's heartfelt musings gave birth to an unexpected revelation. "Hey, there are truly whales here, and not just any whales, but an entire pod of colossal blue whales!"

The revelation was met with unbridled joy. A sudden change in circumstances had delivered food right to Overlord's doorstep, and among its culinary preferences, blue whales held an esteemed place.

Without hesitation, Overlord surged forward with astonishing swiftness, its colossal form slicing through the waters with remarkable agility. Initially oblivious to the impending threat, the pod of blue whales soon found themselves trapped by a sudden terror. Panic gripped their hearts as they attempted to flee the approaching behemoth, but it was too late.

Overlord bore down upon them with a velocity that defied the very laws of nature. With a single, relentless bite, it seized the enormous blue whale, inducing chaos among the others as they scattered like frightened birds. Fortunately, Overlord harboured no intentions of pursuit; the colossal prey it had seized sufficiently quelled its relentless hunger. For now, it would savour this exceptional bounty.

Amidst this grand banquet beneath the waves, Liu Yong had already awakened, his mind filled with purpose. He prepared for the day ahead, with the seaside warehouse as his first destination. Before the morning repast, he seized a moment to dispatch a WeChat message to Xin Feiwen of Universal Special Materials Company, instructing him to send a substantial cargo truck to the seaside warehouse. The black metal bars, now securely stored, needed to be transported back to the company for comprehensive scrutiny.

Liu Yong made a mental note regarding the evolution of Xinpeng Special Steel Smelter into Universal Special Materials Co., Ltd., one of the esteemed subsidiaries within the Universal Enterprise Group's vast empire.

Chen Hu, ever the reliable companion, awaited Liu Yong's emergence at the villa's grand entrance. His presence signalled the commencement of another day's journey, a ceremonial tradition they both cherished.

Liu Yong, however, had a different plan for the day. He waved away the notion of an immediate visit to the company headquarters, remarking, "Let's head to the seaside warehouse first, rather than proceeding directly to the office."

The two vehicles set forth, embarking on a brief expedition toward the seaside warehouse. The distance from Phoenix Mountain Villa to the warehouse proved relatively short, allowing them to complete the journey within thirty to forty minutes. Upon arrival, it was evident that the warehouse had undergone extensive modifications. A broad, cavernous passage had been carved, seamlessly connecting the warehouse to the ocean's depths. This expansive corridor served as a conduit through which the Overlord could access the warehouse, streamlining the cargo retrieval.

As the vehicles parked and the occupants disembarked, Liu Yong's eyes fell upon the warehouse's neatly arranged black metal bars. Having previously observed the cargo from afar, viewing it up close invoked a heightened sense of anticipation.

The metal exhibited a remarkable allure, its surface adorned with an obsidian sheen that exuded a lustrous metallic elegance. Liu Yong examined the cargo meticulously, his curiosity piqued by the enigmatic metal's nature and potential attributes.

Presently, they knew only of the metal's astonishing density, which potentially exceeded 12 – a figure that dwarfed the thickness of standard alloy steel by at least 1.5 times. Beyond density, the enigma of its unique properties remained an unresolved mystery, necessitating a comprehensive suite of tests and analyses upon its arrival at Universal Special Materials Co., Ltd.

Outside the warehouse, the resonating hum of an approaching cargo truck disrupted the prevailing stillness. To Liu Yong's surprise, the driver who stepped out of the truck was none other than Xin Feiwen himself, a gesture that underscored the gravity of the cargo at hand.

"Boss, we're here. What are your instructions?" Xin Feiwen inquired, his gaze fixed firmly upon Liu Yong.

Liu Yong issued his directives, "Inspect the cargo for any additional metal bars, load them onto the truck, and procure a sample for in-depth analysis. I require a comprehensive inspection and analysis report for this metal."

"Understood, boss," Xin Feiwen affirmed, promptly conveying the instructions to his team. With the aid of a formidable 50-ton crane, hoisting the metal rods onto the awaiting truck proceeded with seamless efficiency. In due course, the metal rods were securely stowed and ready for transport.

As the truck embarked on its journey away from the warehouse, Liu Yong gestured toward the awaiting vehicle. "Let's make our way back to Universal Building."

Within the walls of Universal Special Materials Co., Ltd., the mysterious black metal rod found its place within

an expansive workshop, an area now ablaze with curiosity-driven energy. As the metal rod occupied its prominent position, the attending workers and technicians gathered in droves, their eyes riveted to the enigmatic cargo.

"What kind of metal could this be? It's so impeccably black and shiny, almost beguiling to behold!"

"This metal rod is far from ordinary. Might it be an alloy of some kind?"

Amid the hushed conversations and curious glances, the atmosphere within the workshop buzzed with anticipation. Xin Feiwen, accompanied by a cadre of experts specializing in metallurgy and materials, took centre stage to address the gathering.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the metal rod we have brought back. Our esteemed boss has requested that we secure a sample and subject it to a comprehensive analysis to unravel its innate properties."

The mission appeared straightforward, but the execution delivered an astonishing revelation. As the technicians began cutting a sample from the metal rod, a spectacle unfolded that defied expectations. Sparks flew amidst their attempts, but the surface of the metal rod remained unscathed. The cutting blade, however, bore the unmistakable scars of wear and tear.

The perplexing scene left all onlookers stunned, their collective astonishment palpable. Even alloys, renowned for their resilience, could not withstand this mysterious metal's defiance.

A technician, caught between disbelief and fascination, voiced his astonishment, "This is beyond belief. Its hardness exceeds anything we've encountered before."

The leading senior technical expert offered a measured response, "Indeed, its hardness is exceptional, likely surpassing any known material."

The revelation of such extraordinary hardness posed an unprecedented challenge. Conventional cutting tools and equipment, it seemed, were ill-suited to the task of extracting a sample from this unyielding material.

As technicians and experts huddled together, pondering the insurmountable obstacle before them, a daunting realization settled in – they stood at the precipice of a unique problem, grappling with how to procure a sample from this enigmatic metal rod.
