The boat's body was being ruthlessly assaulted by the downpour and relentless waves, drenching everyone on board. To deal with potential dangers, the crew did not seek shelter in the cabin.

Initially, everyone was tense, but then they found Captain started bellowing and demanding more as if this was not enough.

Charge King was taken aback for a moment but then burst into laughter, "Hahaha, Captain, you must be crazier than a madman. I love it!

Come on, brothers, we're here to conquer the depths of hell itself!

Absolutely, we fear nothing! Only the kings can venture into the King's Domain, and we are going to be the kings!"

He had a helpless look on his face. Insanity was contagious. Initially, there was only one crazy person, but now there was an entire ship full of them!

Although there were many sea monsters around them, it appeared that they were also apprehensive of the firepower of the Super Battleship, and did not approach too close.

Just when everyone thought they could cross the abyss without issue, a crisis warning suddenly appeared ahead!

[Ding, a super vortex has been detected in the east direction! With a diameter of 3000 meters, the minimum escape speed is 40 knots.]

"Oh, for goodness sake!" Raine was a little bit regretted disrespecting the abyss just now.

How massive a 3000-meter vortex could be! The crucial point was that they couldn't adjust their direction at all, and rashly turning now could result in capsizing.

To escape from the vortex, they needed to achieve a speed of 40 knots, yet the Super Battleship's maximum speed was only 38 knots, and their current actual speed was only around 25 knots.

At this point, everyone saw the terrifying vortex ahead.

Armin's eyes widened as she incredulously remarked, "My goodness, how massive is that vortex..."

She too could use a vortex to kill, but hers was merely child's play compared to this vortex.

This is the power of nature! Human effort is mere child's play before it.

"Blacky, don't worry about us, hurry up and charge!" Raine yelled.

Blacky refused to leave and instead used its head to push against the stern of the ship, trying to increase its speed.

It seemed that Little Blacky had no intention of abandoning Raine and the others.

Raine took a deep breath. "Listen up, everyone. In order to break through the vortex, I need to adjust the ship's speed to the maximum. Hold on tight!"

Everyone stared firmly at the huge vortex ahead of them. Even the relentless rain and the crashing waves could not distract their attention.

This was a matter of life and death.

Accelerate! All engines were pushed to their limits, and the speed of the Super Battleship suddenly surged. In the rolling waves, it looked like a speedboat, half-floating, and half-flying!

Blacky pushed the ship forward with all its might, but the ship was too heavy. Despite Blacky's massive physical exertion, it only managed to push the ship's speed up to 39 knots.

Raine quickly adjusted all the cannons to point towards the stern.

"Fire all weapons! Just one more knot!" he shouted.

Boom boom boom... Raine probably didn't expect that the first full-firepower test of the optimized Yamato would be aimed at empty air after it was built.

Under intense gunfire, the ship's speed finally climbed to 41 knots!

At this point, they had already entered the vortex.

The gunfire had to continue without pause. As soon as their ship speed dropped, they would be sucked into the vortex.

The Super Battleship continued to unleash a hail of gunfire. Raine had never fired with such reckless abandon before.

"Charge!"

"Charge!" The crew roared with bulging eyes.

This journey seemed to last half a century, but when Raine finally broke through the vortex, almost all of the weapon systems were in a state of high heat, rainwater washed down and the gun barrels were steaming.

Blacky was already exhausted, but it continued to slide along with the ship's momentum.

Raine personally flew to Blacky and tied it with a rope, letting the ship drag it forward.

They finally broke out of the vortex, and after passing through the vortex, the sea monsters around them disappeared without a trace, and the dark clouds in the sky became less heavy, with raindrops starting to patter.

"Have we crossed the abyss?" Trueking looked around in confusion. Although it was not calm here, it was much quieter than before.

They were not physically tired but rather mentally exhausted from the extreme strain they had just experienced.

Raine's radar showed they had already crossed most of the abyssal zone.

After more than ten minutes, they finally broke out of Satan's Abyss. When they emerged from the heavily clouded sea, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed onto the deck.

"We finally made it. It was too exciting just now."

"Is this the king-class sea? Is this the sky of the king-class sea? I thought we were going to die in the vortex."

"We're lucky. Although we encountered a vortex, we didn't run into any powerful sea monsters."

Blacky had given up swimming altogether and lay on the surface of the water, letting the ship pull it along. It was too tired.

Of course, Raine was the most exhausted of all. The high intensity mental strain made him want to fall asleep immediately.

[Ding, a pirate group has been detected in the east direction.]

[The group consists of one D-class battleship and 29 F-class battleships, traveling at a speed of 35 knots.]

"holy shit!" Raine became alert. It was said that if you hang out for too long, you'll eventually get caught. He had been hoping to encounter a pirate group in the previous sea area, and he encountered one as soon as he arrived at the king-class sea area!

If he had encountered this pirate group when he was in full condition, it would have been no big deal. The other side only had one D-class battleship, which probably wasn't doing well in the king-class sea area.

But the problem was that Raine had just used up all of his ammunition to accelerate!

So now, he could only be considered a cruise ship...

The enemy ships were very fast, but they did not rush straight toward them, stopping five or six thousand meters away from Raine.

"Captain, they're observing us!" Armin's eyes had already become owl-like, able to see farther than others even with a telescope. "Can we still fight?"

"We're out of ammo!"

"Ah! Then... what should we do?"

"Armin, can you see what they're doing?" Raine didn't want to show too much panic. They were definitely observing their every move.

"I'll try to see if I can understand their lip reading." Armin said, "They seem to be saying..." Armin then began to recount their conversation.

"Oh my god, they killed a Scaly Dragon in Satan's Abyss? No way, they're too ruthless!"

"It really was a Scaly Dragon, tied up behind their ship."

"There are so many gun turrets on their ship. Captain, should we attack them?"

"Let's not be hasty and observe first. After all, our strength is not particularly strong, and we are just scavenging here. Let's not take any risks. Notify the gunners to be prepared. If they turn and run, we will fire immediately. Otherwise, let's not expose our intentions for the time being."

Armin was really a treasure girl, she had even self-taught lip reading. Her extraordinary vision, it's simply a powerful tool for gathering intelligence.

The fact that the opponent was scared by the exhausted little Blacky was quite speechless for Raine.

The situation was a bit awkward now. The enemy was motionless, and Raine dared not run.

Raine immediately adjusted the direction of the guns, all aimed at the enemy fleet. Even if they didn't have shells, surface-level efforts still needed to be done.

The crew members climbed up when they saw the movement of the weapons system on the ship. As they looked at the opposing fleet, they prepared their weapons one by one, with serious expressions on their faces.

The two sides had been deadlocked for a long time. Suddenly, Raine began to move towards the opposite side...
