With a displacement of 200,000 tons, the armor of the Yuan Shou is exceptionally abundant.

The outer shell armor and framework, made from a blend of special metals and Deep Sea Luminous Stone, combined with biological meat tumor, form an alloy biological insect shell composite armor with astonishingly high defense capability.

The shells fired from the 120-mm naval guns are like water guns; they hit and bounce off, leaving only minor scratches and dents, hardly able to break through the defense.

However, naval guns are not the primary weapon of the Japanese destroyers; antiship missiles are.

Dozens of Japan's domestically produced Type 17 antiship missiles formed the first wave of missile rain, shooting towards the Jieke Group's side.

These missiles have a range of two hundred kilometers, and hitting targets tens of kilometers away is impossible to miss.

The Yuan Shou battlecruiser immediately responded, growing some fuzzy things similar to mycelium on both sides of the ship.

This is actually a dense layer of perceptive fuzz, like skin pores, capable of acutely detecting all movements around it. Once an incoming attack is detected, it sends interception or retaliation signals, with sensing information abilities more sensitive than radar.

Simultaneously, openings cracked open on the front and rear decks of the battlecruiser.

These openings are not missile vertical launch systems; within the openings, wriggling forms with cnidarian-like traits unfold into semi-transparent tendril-like tentacles, which emit purple energy spores toward the swiftly skimming antiship missiles, actively approaching them.

When these energy spores explode, the antiship missiles wobble drunkenly, with most plunging into the sea or veering off course to unknown destinations.

This is because the energy spores affected the precise electronic instruments and gyroscopes inside the missiles, making them difficult to follow their original trajectory through energy transfer interference.

From a high altitude looking down, the Yuan Shou battlecruiser seems transformed into a gigantic sea monster covered with slender tentacles, as if the deck sprouted numerous writhing seaweed tendrils, waving in the breeze while emitting large amounts of purple spores.

Occasionally, some missiles break through the energy spore defense line; on the Yuan Shou battlecruiser, there are also some auxiliary guns, including six triple-mounted 250-mm biological plasma cannons and 18 30-mm close-in defense guns scattered across the warship.

These can also provide air defense; the dense close-in defense guns scatter a rain of bullets, intercepting the antiship missiles without needing the auxiliary guns to fire biological plasma, forming a formidable air defense network.

At this juncture, the nine 600-mm biological plasma cannons glowed with a blue halo once more.

Despite the large caliber, the firing rate of the biological plasma cannons is not slow, more than sufficient for combat.

In the fearful eyes of the Japanese soldiers, the 600-mm biological plasma cannons roared once again.

Amidst the deafening roar of cannon fire, Japanese destroyers and escort ships walked toward destruction one after another.

Even the small-caliber biological plasma auxiliary guns on the Yuan Shou bloomed with fire.

Though called small-caliber relative to the 600-mm main cannons, the Yuan Shou's 250-mm auxiliary cannons inflict terrifying damage on smaller tonnage warships.

A 250-mm biological plasma shell hits a Japanese escort ship, as if struck by an antiship missile, causing thick smoke to billow, ripping the ship's hull and beginning to flood with seawater.

Subsequent 250-mm auxiliary cannon shots finish the escort ship, successfully sending it away.

Not just on the surface; on both sides of the Yuan Shou, individual anti-submarine rocket deep bombs fire, exploding after entering the sea.

As the flash of fire appears underwater, Japanese submarines hiding to launch torpedoes for a sneak attack are blown out of the water, often directly sinking to the ocean floor, to be buried forever.

Accompanied by the roaring Yuan Shou battlecruiser, one by one, Japanese warships become nothing more than background.

Under the terrifying power of the biological plasma cannons, they're either sinking or on the path to sinking.

"Why are the antiship missiles ineffective? How is the defense capability so abnormal?"

"Oh, what is this monstrous warship? Amaterasu, are you punishing your people? What did we do wrong to encounter such an enemy?"

"The ship is listing, unable to save, everyone abandon the ship and escape, repeat..."

"We're doomed, we're all going to die here."

"Goodbye, Mom!"

Under the Yuan Shou's devastating bombardment, Japan's fleet of four helicopter carriers, twenty-four destroyers, fifteen escort ships, six conventional submarines, and five supply ships—seemingly a large fleet—appeared weak and helpless against the Yuan Shou, subjected to pinpoint explosions, with the combat power disparity being on an entirely different level.

In terms of quantity, it seemed like the Japanese warships were ganging up on the Yuan Shou, but in truth, it was the Yuan Shou brutally abusing the Japanese fleet.

As the Japanese warships continually sank, the situation had already spread throughout the Roosevelt Carrier Battle Group.

Upon hearing the news, Sigmund was aghast; watching the footage switched from satellites and early warning aircraft of the Yuan Shou, more than five hundred meters in size with absurdly large super guns, made his scalp go numb and filled him with disbelief.

"What kind of joke is this, that a battleship can carry such power?"

Sigmund stared foolishly, never having imagined the Jieke Group would bring out a battleship, a weapon considered obsolete, yet making it play an unforeseen role.

The dense air defense firepower and black technology of biological plasma cannons left him utterly astounded.

"This must be the Jieke Group's secret weapon; they are truly masters at hiding it!"

Chief of Staff Randall wore a grim expression; the sudden appearance of the Yuan Shou completely disrupted all their arrangements.

"We can't continue like this; we must first deal with this battlecruiser, or we too will suffer. Orders, recall all deployed aircraft, and gather fighter jets from all air bases across the Ryukyu Islands immediately, prioritizing sinking this battlecruiser."

Sigmund gritted his teeth; originally aiming to deal with the Jieke Group's Far East Mixed Fleet first, but allowing this battlecruiser to rampage could mean their Roosevelt Carrier Battle Group might be sent to the seabed before the Mixed Fleet.

Randall nodded, ready to depart when suddenly new messages were brought by communications personnel.

"Report, Ryukyu Islands urgently reporting, Phoenix Bombers detected in multiple airspace launching carpet bombing by Jieke Group."

"Commander, three cruiser arsenal ships emerged from the northeast, with the active phased array radar system detecting large amounts of incoming missile signals."

"Commander, the situation is dire; the Great British Empire's Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier suddenly turned, ignoring our warnings and disengaging privately. They are attempting to flee."

One message after another arrived, each appearance making Sigmund's face grow paler.

Upon hearing of Great Britain's betrayal and their dash for escape, he could no longer contain his inner rage.

"Fake, those bastard gentlemen, how dare they, how dare they desert, falsely calling themselves the Royal Navy, disgracing the royal face entirely."

Sigmund was vexed, his features twisted. It had always been them in the Beautiful Country selling out allies, yet this time Great Britain sold them out.

It must be said, in selling out allies, the Beautiful Country and Great Britain truly share a legacy.

"Immediately have the Carl Vinson aircraft carrier and Washington aircraft carrier approach me, deploy carrier aircraft, we need their assistance. Also, beware of those Phoenix Bombers sneaking up on us. All warships capable of counter-attack now are to launch missile strikes on that battlecruiser, ensuring its sinking."

Sigmund promptly adjusted tactics, requesting reinforcements from two other nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

At present, he paid no notice to the Far East Mixed Fleet, being fully awed by the Yuan Shou battlecruiser's power; eliminating this battlecruiser became the highest priority.

"Additionally, send a report back home; Our fleets are currently engaged with Jieke Group warships, assuring the President and Congress.

The entire Navy stands united, working in concert to annihilate the domineering sea fleet of Jieke Group in the Ryukyu Sea, driving them back to Southeast Asia with their ambitions thoroughly checked.

This battle, the Beautiful Country will prevail,"

Sigmund took a deep breath; the expressions of everyone in the command center were solemn.

Because everyone knew the outcome of this battle would change the Pacific and world dynamics, it was a contest between the old and new sea powers.
