Chapter 472 Strong Enemy Joins
                    Soon after...
All the nations unleashed their full arsenal—cannons, missiles, and various long-range weapons—relentlessly bombarding Phantom Island!
The result?
Aside from causing ripples on the protective shield, there was no other effect!
And Phantom Island's response?
They completely ignored it. No one showed up, no actions were taken!
To them, the warships from various countries were like clowns, jumping around without being taken seriously!
Sterling, on the other hand, was in a state of shock!
Missiles exploded on the shield like fireworks, casting flickering reflections in Sterling's eyes!
Through the communicator, other countries kept proposing strategies.
Ideas like underwater torpedoes to blow up Phantom Island from below were suggested!
But they found out that the shield was a perfect sphere with no blind spots!
Another country tried depleted uranium shells, hoping to short-circuit the shield!
But the carbon fibers disintegrated into ashes before they even got close to the island!
Sterling was drenched in cold sweat.
He finally felt a twinge of regret!
Phantom Island's defense was too perfect; there was no way to break through!
30 nautical miles away, on the coastal area of VeridianiaWavehaven.
An elderly man in a gray robe from Veridiania stood alongside the ruler of Evalia, observing the farce from a distance!
Veridiania and Evalia were the only two countries that didn't join the assault on Phantom Island!
Ten minutes ago, they were still worried about Phantom Island!
But now...
The elderly man shook his head slightly, "I didn't expect it to turn out like this."
But no one noticed.
On the battlefield...
A pitch-black helicopter flew through the barrage of bullets and missiles, hovering above the foremost warship!
A strong figure slowly emerged.
He furrowed his brows and shouted, "Enough!"
For a moment, everyone felt an illusion!
It was as if there were giant speakers both above and below them!
The voice echoed everywhere, making their eardrums buzz!
The lookouts on over a hundred warships searched for a long time before spotting a black figure on the foremost ship!
It was a muscular man, standing on the deck with his hands behind his back, exuding an imposing aura, but compared to the warship, he was like an ant!
"I said enough!"
The muscular man raised his eyebrows, and the bones in his throat began to vibrate!
Then...
A strange sound wave emanated from his throat!
The crew on nearby ships instantly clutched their ears, half-kneeling on the ground, their faces contorted in pain!
The sound initially seemed low, but it had actually reached a supersonic frequency!
The glass on many warships suddenly shattered!
The thickened glass broke into tiny, snowflake-like pieces!
Underwater, the sonar equipment on the submarines also went haywire!
The muscular man slowly closed his mouth.
The disaster abruptly stopped!
But many crew members were already bleeding from their ears, their eardrums damaged!
Everyone stared blankly at the muscular man, their faces filled with terror!
"He's a modified human with special abilities!"
The crew looked uncertainly at their own side's modified humans.
They seemed to be more severely injured, clutching their heads and vomiting blood!
These were the military's top experts, so-called B+ modified humans!
But why was there such a huge gap?
"You weaklings."
"Since you won't live long anyway, I'll tell you!"
The muscular man took a few steps forward with his hands behind his back, "I am Sith, President of the Apocalypse Association Third Division!"
"I'm not one of those modified humans you talk about!" Sith declared, his voice dripping with disdain. "I'm a natural-born geneticist! Your so-called Savior, Paul Five, is also a natural-born geneticist! But natural-born geneticists have varying abilities. Compared to me, Paul Five is trash!"
He paused, letting his words sink in. "Today, I came specifically to kill Paul Five before humanity's extinction! Don't get in my way!"
With that, the muscular man leaped towards Phantom Island, the force of his jump causing the entire warship to sway slightly.
Sterling, witnessing this scene, could barely stand. Paul Five hadn't even appeared, and now another one showed up? Apocalypse Association? Never heard of it! Could this alien warning be related to him, too?
Thinking of this, Sterling grabbed the communicator and shouted, "No matter who he is, classify him as the same threat level as Paul Five! Let's test him first!"
A hundred warships instantly received the order, turning their cannons towards the Sith. But they hesitated to fire.
Sith approached the protective shield of Phantom Island, his throat moving again. He emitted a sound wave that was almost inaudible to ordinary people. The weapons experts on the warships gasped. The higher the frequency of the sound wave, the quieter it became. A sound wave that ordinary people couldn't hear had reached a terrifying frequency. It could cause air resonance. It might even disrupt Phantom Island's plasma shield!
Sure enough, after Sith released the sound wave, the shield in front of him began to boil like water, becoming increasingly unstable.
The commanders of various countries, including Sterling, paused their attack orders. Their hearts raced. This superhuman could break the shield! If he killed Paul Five, wouldn't that achieve their goal?
At this moment, inside the Punisher base, a young woman in a lab coat and glasses, Briana, watched everything outside the island through a monitor, her heart filled with anxiety. She was the only modification technician on Phantom Island. Her lips were pale. She glanced at a row of modification pods behind her. Punisher members Spring, Summer, Autumn, Warm Winter, Cold Winter, Gino, Dino, and others were all in deep sleep in the pods.
Elbert had instructed Briana to prepare for their second modification long ago. A few days ago, Elbert had obtained data from the Apocalypse Association's desert base and activated the 8th-level cube. So, Briana followed Paul Three's instructions and arranged for the Punishers' modifications. But unexpectedly, this modification was extremely complex, and they remained in a deep sleep.
It turned out Phantom Island wasn't unresponsive to the attack. But aside from the workers, only Briana was still active. Seeing the shield about to break, Briana felt a sense of despair.
Suddenly, a modification pod made a cracking sound. Was someone waking up? Briana rushed over and saw it was Summer's pod. Summer's eyes were bleeding, and his skin was oozing blood. But he extended his mechanical arm and shattered the glass in front of him.
"Summer!" Briana looked at the data in horror. "Your modification progress is only at 60%! How did you wake up? Don't move, you'll die!"
But Summer kicked open the pod door and staggered out. "I can feel the attack outside the island. Everyone is asleep, so I woke up early to stop the enemy!"
Briana was stunned. She looked at Summer's cold and indifferent eyes, not knowing what to say. She only knew that during modification, the body must be put into a super-deep sleep. It was an unconscious state. But Summer had forced himself to wake up! His willpower was terrifying!
