247: Chapter 247 Fifty Times Gravity! This ferocious beast, you know how to give gifts! (Two-in-one)

After Su Ming punched and killed the Heavy Rock Honey Badger, he did not linger for long.

Thirty thousand mass points were credited to his account, along with an unexpected Gravity Law fragment, giving him a whole new understanding of the 'wealth' in this forbidden zone.

He identified his direction and continued moving forward.

The gravity index had already reached twenty-five times.

The meteor iron ore sand under his feet was compressed firmly, and every step he took left a half-inch deep footprint.

"This really is a great place for Body Refining!"

"If I could take a walk in a place like this every day, the training effects should be quite good."

"That old man Saitama couldn't have been here, could he..."

Along the way, he ran into several blind 5th-tier Heavy Rock Lizards, which hissed and pounced out from the rock crevices.

These creatures had thick cuticles covering their bodies and moved swiftly under twenty-five times gravity; ordinary 6th-tier Awakened would find them a headache.

As their figures crossed, Su Ming raised his hand and dealt with them.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Several piles of bloody meat patties slammed into the hard meteor iron ore sand, only to be blown away by the subsequent shockwaves.

『Ding! Successfully devoured 5th-tier Source Beast · Heavy Rock Lizard, mass points + 80,000!』

『Ding! Successfully devoured... mass points + 75,000!』

Even a mosquito's leg is meat, and Su Ming did not refuse anything that came his way.

His figure stretched into a blurred straight line on the dark red wasteland, advancing at high speed toward the core area.

Meanwhile, at the Abyss of Heavy Prison No. 3 Outpost.

Everyone was staring at the main screen.

The image had already begun to flicker.

Su Ming's figure could no longer be seen on the screen after he entered the twenty-five times gravity zone; the detector could only capture an intermittent trajectory of light points.

"The target has crossed the B-9 area! Moving toward the A-level warning line!"

『Gravity Index: 30G!』

"Report! The target has broken through the A-12 zone!"

『Gravity Index: 40G!』

"Report! The target... the target has crossed the final safety warning line!"

On the screen, the light point representing Su Ming rushed without hesitation across a death boundary marked by a red dashed line.

That was an area designated by the military where even detector signals could not connect.

『Gravity Index: 50G!』

As the light point submerged into that area, the image on the entire monitoring screen began to shake and distort violently, finally turning into static after a harsh blind tone.

The green indicator light representing the signal turned into a glaring red.

"Lost... lost contact..." the technician's voice carried a sob.

Station Chief Xu Zheng stared fixedly at the coordinates where the screen had frozen, and the bright red '50 Times Gravity Death Zone' text behind them.

Fifty times gravity.

In that place, let alone a person, even if a light interstellar destroyer were thrown in, it would be crushed into a lump of scrap metal by its own weight in an instant.

And that young man just ran in like that.

Without even a hint of hesitation.

He picked up the communicator on the table, his fingertips paused on the send button, and then he put it down.

No matter how this situation was reported, it didn't sound like military intelligence.

It sounded more like an accident conjecture written by someone who had drunk too much.

Su Ming stepped steadily into the 50 times gravity zone.

Terrifying pressure squeezed in from all directions.

Every time he took a breath, his chest had to exert extra force to expand, and his nasal cavity was filled with the smell of metal rust.

The ground under his feet now fully presented a metallic luster, with a hardness comparable to high-grade alloys.

Ordinary 6th-tier Awakened here would have their blood circulation come to a standstill.

"Click... click click..."

The sinking star on his body, beneath the surface of his mimetic casual clothes, emitted a faint and tense friction sound; that was the internal lattice structure resisting external pressure.

"This is getting interesting."

This level of pressure was enough to shield against all conventional external prying.

The military's monitoring field of view ended here.

This was an excellent, secluded private room for upgrading his fourth life form.

He stretched his muscles and bones, and the dormant Star Core Embryo within him suddenly emitted a joyful resonant hum under the stimulation of fifty times gravity.

Boom!

With him as the center, spiderweb-like cracks appeared out of thin air on the rock walls within a radius of more than ten meters.

This was purely the passive influence on the surrounding environment caused by his five-thousand-ton Physical Body under the resonance of the gravitational field.

"Stepping on it feels more solid now."

After walking for several kilometers, his gravitational perception captured a ring-shaped heavy energy cave with an extremely stable internal structure.

The cave was deeply embedded in the core of a meteor iron ore vein, naturally formed, and perfectly met the rigid geological requirements needed for the impact to the fourth life form.

This is it.

But before he could get close, a foul wind mixed with the smell of stench and rust rolled out from the cave entrance.

In the shadows, a Vicious Beast, as large as a small mountain and covered with thick metal barbs on its back, slowly crawled out.

It was over thirty meters long and nearly ten meters high at the shoulder.

Its head was flat, its limbs were thick and powerful, and its scarlet eyes revealed a loneliness and violence that had been sleeping for thousands of years.

7th-tier Source Beast — Mountain-Crushing Iron-Armored Armadillo.

The giant beast's nose sniffed in the air, and its scarlet eyes finally locked onto Su Ming.

Its huge mouth opened and closed, and it actually spoke heavy human words, the sound like two rusted iron plates rubbing against each other.

"Human... it's been many years... I haven't seen a living human..."

"I've almost forgotten... what it tastes like!"

Before the words fell, its massive body began to shrink crazily, emitting a harsh sound of metal friction.

Seeing this scene, Su Ming was not afraid; instead, he sneered and twisted his neck.

"As long as you dare to open your mouth," he flexed his wrists, his joints emitting crisp explosions, "I will arrange a steel combo for you."

"Roar!"

The Mountain-Crushing Iron-Armored Armadillo was thoroughly enraged by this frivolous taunt.

It was the overlord deep in this Abyss of Heavy Prison, sleeping for a hundred years, and the first living creature it encountered upon waking dared to speak to it like this!

A 7th-tier Vicious Beast, its attack was a kill move as soon as it started.

Its massive body suddenly curled inward, head to tail,

Instantly transforming into a high-density metal giant ball with a diameter of over fifteen meters, covered in sharp black iron spikes!

Hum—!

Borrowing the terrifying vertical acceleration of the fifty times gravity field, the giant ball tore through the air, emitting a series of harsh shrieks, stirring up countless meteor iron fragments, and smashed down towards the top of Su Ming's head!

Su Ming even had the spare time in his mind to ponder.

The environmental gravity here is 50 times, and his Void Gravity Domain can add 12 times.

Could he exploit a bug, multiply 50 by 12 directly, and give this guy 600 times gravity to crush it into an iron pancake on the spot?

"System, can it be calculated like that?"

『The host is dreaming.』

『Multiplication of multipliers belongs to the Origin-level control authority of the complete Gravity Law.』

The System's cold mechanical voice sounded, concise and to the point.

Su Ming: "..."

『The current skill limit is 12 times standard gravity, linearly superimposed with environmental gravity. In this area, the target can be suppressed up to 62 times, and offset down to 38 times at the lowest.』

"Tsk tsk, it really works."

Su Ming curled his lips and a thought moved.

Void Gravity Domain · Lv2』 activated!

An invisible gravitational field immediately spread out.

The high-speed falling metal giant ball, the moment it entered the twelve-meter range around Su Ming, its massive body suddenly faltered!

A hundred tons of weight were added with twelve times standard gravity out of thin air, and the continuity of its momentum was abruptly broken.

Although it was only for an instant, for a top powerhouse's clash, it was already fatal.

Su Ming looked at the 'Law Hedgehog' that was readjusting its posture and continuing to smash down, without the slightest intention of dodging.

The Star Core Embryo within him roared.

Five thousand tons of base mass and extreme muscle kinetic energy were all gathered at the point of his right fist.

He faced that falling hundred-ton metal giant ball, simply and squarely, and met it head-on.

The fist edge and the giant ball collided with a bang.

There were no fancy light effects, only a terrifying physical blast that could almost tear eardrums!

Bang—!!!

With Su Ming's feet as the center, the Heavy Rock crystalline ground within a radius of thirty meters collapsed into a deep pit several meters deep.

The Mountain-Crushing Iron-Armored Armadillo's proud armor, that kinetic impact sufficient to shatter mountains, was as fragile as paper in front of Su Ming's absolute mass suppression.

The black iron spikes on the surface of the giant ball snapped off at that moment, splashing into the surroundings like bullets.

"Awoo—!!!"

A shrill and miserable howl came from inside the giant ball.

The massive sphere was forced back into mid-air by an irresistible counter-shock force, smashing heavily against the large rock wall above the cave, knocking down countless broken stones.

Boom!

The giant ball unfolded in mid-air, revealing the true body of the Mountain-Crushing Iron-Armored Armadillo.

It let out a painful muffled roar from its throat, and dark golden blood overflowed from the corner of its mouth.

Several clear fine cracks appeared on the thickest part of the armor on its chest.

This collision caused it to suffer not-insignificant internal injuries.

"Humble human!?"

Rage and disbelief surged in the scarlet eyes of the Mountain-Crushing Iron-Armored Armadillo.

Its full-strength attack, sufficient to crush peers, was defeated head-on by such a tiny human.

As the overlord of the forbidden zone, this was the first time in a hundred years it had suffered such a loss.

The 7th-tier Gravity Law relic bone inside its body, which had been dormant for a hundred years, began to run crazily.

"Die!"

The armadillo hissed sharply, its thick sharp claws slamming heavily onto the ground.

Hum—!

The meteor iron ore vein deep in the cave emitted a low resonance, and the environmental gravity, originally stable at 50 times, climbed suddenly, layer upon layer, squeezing crazily toward Su Ming.

The gravity index instantly shot up to over 60 times.

The rock wall groaned under the distortion of gravity, and the rocks underfoot cracked inch by inch.

This was its territory, which it had managed for a hundred years; being able to mobilize the power of the ore vein to stimulate range gravity suppression was its ultimate trump card for guarding its home.

After doing all this, the Mountain-Crushing Iron-Armored Armadillo did not continue to attack, but instead turned and rushed toward a corner deep in the cave.

There, there was a stone trough naturally formed by the depression of tempered high-density hard rock.

In the stone trough, more than half a bowl of liquid, viscous as mercury and emitting a faint silver light, was contained.

The armadillo pounced forward, like a dying drunkard seeing life-saving nectar, burying its face in the stone trough and drinking violently.

After a few mouthfuls of liquid, the cracks on the armor on its chest slowly closed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the chaotic aura in its body also quickly calmed down.

The fatal internal injury was forcibly suppressed.

And Su Ming, who was being squeezed in all directions by more than sixty times gravity, didn't even blink an eyelid.

He walked out leisurely, step by step, from the gravity storm that was enough to crush a 7th-tier powerhouse, with his hands in his pockets.

Seeing the Mountain-Crushing Iron-Armored Armadillo lying there drinking water, Su Ming raised his eyebrows and couldn't help laughing.

"No... buddy, you're even bringing a red potion to the field?"

"Isn't your cheating a bit too obvious?"

Su Ming was just joking, but when his gravitational perception swept over the few drops of silver liquid remaining in the stone trough, his eyes changed slightly.

The System interface automatically popped up the attribute analysis.

『Detected highly concentrated high-dimensional substance: Meteor Crystal Heavy Water.』

『Born in the core of a super-high-pressure gravity ore vein, condensed after hundreds of years of geo-gravitational and Gravity Law leakage. One drop weighs five hundred catties. It can strengthen biological cell density, quickly heal internal Origin injuries below the 7th tier, and serve as a perception medium for gravity-type sequences, assisting the Awakened in deepening their understanding of basic gravity rules.』

Su Ming's eyes lit up instantly like two 1000-watt light bulbs.

Good guy!

This is a natural super tonic!

"I was only planning to borrow your nest."

Su Ming's gaze moved from the Meteor Crystal Heavy Water back to the armadillo, his smile becoming incredibly bright.

"I didn't expect you to have prepared a gift."

Before the words fell, his figure disappeared from where he stood.

Boom—!

The Mountain-Crushing Iron-Armored Armadillo, which was burying its head and sipping, only felt an irresistible giant force hitting from the side,

Its massive body was sent flying again,

Slamming heavily against the rock wall on the other side.

Su Ming's figure appeared beside the stone trough, not even looking at the Source Beast, and waved his hand.

Together with the stone trough and all the remaining Meteor Crystal Heavy Water inside, it was collected into his System space.

After doing all this, he clapped his hands and turned to the armadillo that had just slid off the rock wall, looking dumbfounded.

"Alright, supply time is over!"

Su Ming crooked his finger, a demonic smile hanging on his face.

"Now, you can go on your way in peace."

The Iron-Armored Armadillo was stunned.

When it saw that empty corner, the scales all over its body exploded.

That was its lifeblood, which it had guarded for over a hundred years and couldn't even bear to drink much of when it was seriously injured.

This human, not only broke through its defense and robbed its cave,

But even wanted to scrape this last bit of its bottom-of-the-box belongings clean?

A nearly broken roar squeezed out of the armadillo's throat.

Only the purest killing intent remained in its scarlet eyes.

It spread its limbs on the ground, and cracks exploded in all directions from under its claws!

The entire cave was trembling with its rage.

"Human!"

"You are courting death!!!"
