139: Chapter 139 Three hundred tons! Boys need to be well-fed!
*Crack!!!*
The giant pincers, powerful enough to crush a main battle tank into a pancake,
clamped tightly around Su Ming's waist.
The serrated inner edges ground together furiously,
friction against the dark star battle armor sending blinding sparks flying,
producing a screeching metallic groan that set one's teeth on edge.
However, that was all.
The Purple Prison Poison Scorpion King's compound eyes bulged wide.
It could clearly feel that
its power had slammed into a completely incompressible solid entity.
No matter how hard it channeled its Source Energy,
the two giant pincers could not close even a fraction of a millimeter further.
The seemingly slender human youth
was held aloft in mid-air by its pincers,
his arms lightly propping up the inner walls of the giant claws,
his expression calm, even...
a bit distracted,
as if he was savoring the afterglow of his recent poison mist spa.
How was this possible?!
The Purple Prison Poison Scorpion King was dumbfounded.
It was a Tier 7 Source Beast!
Among those of the same tier,
even if its strength couldn't compare to freaks like the Ant King or the Bear Emperor,
it was definitely top-tier!
What on earth was this human's body made of?!
At this moment,
the Purple Prison Poison Scorpion King finally experienced firsthand what "bizarre" truly meant.
The body clamped in its claws was clearly light,
like a feather.
But the counter-force pushing back
was so unyielding it drove the beast to despair!
"Kid..."
The Purple Prison Poison Scorpion King's voice was as raspy as two pieces of rusty iron grinding together.
The last trace of playfulness in its crimson compound eyes vanished,
leaving only pure madness and killing intent.
"You forced me to use this move... you can die satisfied!"
At the wound on its abdomen where Su Ming had torn off its scorpion tail,
the flesh began to squirm.
A sixth tail
actually began to regrow at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Pale green buds of flesh broke through the charred carapace,
sprouting wildly,
rapidly hardening and turning black under the infusion of dark purple Source Energy.
In just a few seconds,
a brand-new stinger had formed.
Six giant scorpion tails slowly unfurled behind it,
like a bizarre peacock fanning its feathers,
each tip gleaming with a faint, cold, purple-black metallic luster.
Su Ming's eyes snapped completely awake from their daze,
his brow furrowing slightly.
The vast energy surrounding the Purple Prison Poison Scorpion King
was rushing madly toward the newly grown severed tail.
At the same time,
the other five scorpion tails were also raised high,
their aura terrifying!
A combined strike skill?!
Not going to let me play around a bit longer?
Su Ming rapidly calculated in his mind!
A Tier 7 Beast King could already achieve basic shapeshifting and speak.
Its control over Source Energy was far beyond what a Tier 6 could manage.
Even if this strike was weakened by 65% by [Kinetic Siphon],
the remaining 35% would still be a pseudo-Tier 7 attack.
Furthermore, [Kinetic Siphon] had a cooldown,
and couldn't withstand multiple instantaneous, full-power bursts.
He couldn't afford to be careless!
With a flash of thought,
his status panel popped up in the corner of his vision.
[True Mass: 102132.9kg (+)]
[mass points: 198500]
Su Ming's eyes were practically glued to that number.
One hundred and ninety-eight thousand?!
His previous savings were forty-one thousand.
He had absorbed less than ten thousand during his life-and-death battle with Zhao Kuo,
and around thirty thousand from fighting the Scorpion King.
But just now, while standing there "drunk" for a short while,
the buffet of Tier 7 King Poison had directly injected nearly a hundred and twenty thousand!
Added together, the total was close to two hundred thousand!
Converting that to True Mass!
It was nearly two hundred tons!
His basic strength would directly triple!
Timing is everything.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained!
As long as he didn't get insta-killed by this move,
he could keep absorbing indefinitely!
Su Ming hesitated no longer.
Allocate points!
*Boom!*
An invisible warm current instantly flooded his entire body from the depths of the System space!
[Consuming 198,500 mass points, converting to True Mass...]
[True Mass: 300632.9kg!]
Three hundred thousand kilograms.
Which was three hundred tons!
His bone density skyrocketed once again,
his muscle fibers tightened and reorganized,
and every inch of tissue within his body was frantically compressed, densified, and forged.
His height shot up by another three centimeters,
and his shoulder line widened by a notch!
Su Ming clenched his fists,
feeling the destructive kinetic energy surging between his joints.
The power currently infused into this silicon-based body
was terrifyingly immense!
"Hmm?"
The Purple Prison Poison Scorpion King clamping Su Ming suddenly froze.
Did this "feather" in its grasp suddenly grow heavier?
The resisting force suddenly surged several times over,
forcing its giant pincer bones to let out a groaning creak!
Fine cracks were spreading across the joints of its carapace!
It subconsciously increased its clamping force,
but the opponent's waist was like a steel pillar cast directly inside its claws...
unbudging, and instead pushing further and further apart!
This guy's body...
what on earth was it made of?!
There was no time to think.
The Purple Prison Poison Scorpion King's newly grown tail had completely formed.
Aside from some fresh, tender flesh at the base,
the stinger at the tip was now identical to the other five.
Since the Council President had strictly ordered to capture him alive,
then it would start by crippling half his life!
*Roar!!!*
The Purple Prison Poison Scorpion King let out a world-shaking roar.
Six giant tails rose simultaneously,
their stingers pointing toward the sky.
Dark purple Source Energy surged from its body like a bursting dam,
condensing into a viscous sea of energy behind it.
*Crack... crack...*
Amidst the scalp-numbing sound of bones dislocating,
the six scorpion tails, in a manner defying biological common sense,
formed a perfect circle.
The six stingers, glowing with a ghostly green poisonous light,
converged precisely at the center,
merging into a giant bone spike two meters in diameter!
Immediately after...
the six scorpion tails began to spin in reverse at high speed!
*Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!*
The rotation speed instantly exceeded the limit,
the immense kinetic energy tearing apart the surrounding air molecules
and whipping up a dark purple supersonic ionized storm in the void!
The six scorpion tails were completely transformed into a ferocious biological super-drill.
"Six Paths as One!"
"Purple Prison Star-Shattering Drill!!"
The Purple Prison Poison Scorpion King's voice became grand and distorted.
*Rumble!!!*
The massive bone drill spun frantically,
whipping up an ink-purple storm that connected heaven and earth within the barrier array!
The drill, enveloped in crackling plasma arcs,
plowed a bottomless trench into the aluminum alloy ground beneath,
charging violently toward Su Ming's chest!
Six tails as one.
The full physical brute force of a Tier 7 Beast King's Bloodline.
The friction of ten thousand degrees of heat.
The compound toxic poison of its Origin.
Under this triple stack,
the destructive power of this strike
was already infinitely close to Tier 8!
Wherever the drill passed,
the air was wrung into a vacuum zone,
and the ruins of buildings on both sides floated up,
only to be reduced to the finest powder the moment they were sucked into the spiral airflow.
In the distance, all the evacuating teachers and students,
and all the soldiers outside the barrier trying desperately to break the array,
upon feeling that aura of destruction,
all stopped in their tracks.
Tie Moshan's legs, which had just stood up, went weak again.
Lieutenant Colonel Chu Feng's fingernails dug into his palms as he gripped his military bayonet,
unable to utter a single word.
Su Ming's pupils shrank sharply.
The space around him
had been completely locked down by that terrifying spiral forcefield.
The space around him had been completely locked down by that terrifying spiral forcefield.
"As a boy,
when you're out and about...
you must eat your fill!"
He grinned,
clenching both fists!
"[Kinetic Siphon]!"
"Get ready to feast!!"
