Chapter 521 Matter Manipulation
Realizing that the black-robed level six wizard before him was completely different from the "ordinary" level six beings he had encountered before, Augusta's last trace of contempt vanished instantly.
In his eyes, only pure fighting spirit remained.
"If Jemin can withstand it—then so can I!" she thought to herself, then let out a sharp shout and unleashed her immense spiritual power without reservation!
hum! ! !
Centered on her, an invisible yet terrifyingly powerful magnetic field, strong enough to distort light, suddenly unfolded.
Within the magnetic field, countless metal fragments that had just been scattered across the sky due to the collapse of the metal mountain and were falling seemed to be instantly given life!
"Clang! Clang! Boom—"
The ear-piercing clang of metal against metal and the sounds of collision and compression converged into a symphony that shook the space!
Billions of tons of metal fragments rushed toward her under the pull of the powerful magnetic field. The converging metal fragments were violently mixed together by the magnetic field, as if being kneaded together by an invisible hand.
In the blink of an eye, a metal giant, ten thousand meters tall, with rough lines and full of power, rose from the ground and stood tall on the wasteland!
Two dazzling flames of energy shone from the giant's eyes, looking down at the tiny black-robed figure below, radiating a suffocating sense of oppression.
The black-robed wizard looked up at the instantly formed metal colossus, his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly beneath his hood, and muttered to himself, "Matter manipulation—what a nuisance."
If we were to name the type of opponent that his [Fiction] Law dislikes the most, those who manipulate matter would definitely be at the top of the list.
After all, matter manipulation wizards manipulate real, physical entities with complex physical structures and enormous mass.
To "define" an invalid result requires more complex physical rules and energy interactions involving "overriding" and "negation," and the "quota" consumed is naturally much higher than that of an energy confrontation of the same level.
What's even more disgusting is that energy attacks, no matter how violent their effects or how bizarre their attributes, are essentially just a witchcraft model constructed from mental energy.
Once the core structure of the mental power model is "disintegrated" or "deflected," even if it contains a lot of energy, its threat is basically eliminated.
However, once a physical entity is broken up, it can be reassembled and reformed at any time, as long as the manipulator's mental power remains.
Transform and launch a new offensive!
Unless all matter can be completely "decomposed" or "annihilated" at the molecular or even atomic level, but the "quota" required for that is a headache just thinking about it.
"Then—force out my true form!" The black-robed wizard's mind raced.
His figure suddenly "disappeared" from the spot.
In the next instant, he was directly "presented" in the waist and abdomen of the ten-thousand-meter-tall metal giant, less than ten meters away from the rough and cold metal surface.
He raised his right hand, covered by a black glove, and gently pressed it down onto the giant's metal torso.
Boom!
A silent force permeated, revealing the result he desired.
Centered on the point where his palm landed, the thick metal within a radius of several thousand meters, like a sandcastle eroded by billions of years, had its disintegration accelerated to the extreme, instantly turning into the finest metal dust!
A massive hole, over a kilometer in diameter, appeared in the metal giant's waist, severing it in two!
However, through the scattered and flying metal dust, the black-robed wizard's gaze swept across the scene, and his brows furrowed even more deeply—behind the empty space, and even inside the giant's torso, where the "control core" or "cockpit" he had anticipated might exist, was completely empty.
"They transferred their original body so quickly?" A hint of surprise flashed through his mind.
The opponent's control over the metal giant and the speed of its own movement exceeded his expectations.
Just then—
Ugh!!
A piercingly sharp whistling sound suddenly rang out, the kind of sound that can only be made when an object tears through the atmosphere at hundreds of times the speed of sound!
The remaining upper body of the metal giant suddenly twisted, and its two massive metal fists, as big as small mountains, covered the entire surface of the fists with a scorching red plasma light generated by the intense friction with the air, and came ferociously from the left and right sides towards the black-robed wizard in the hollow of his waist and abdomen!
The black-robed wizard clearly "sensed" that the trajectory of the fist was covered with traces of being frantically accelerated by the strong magnetic field.
This means that this seemingly clumsy physical attack is essentially equivalent to two super-giant electromagnetic railgun shells!
Its kinetic energy is enough to penetrate the continental shelf.
"Tsk." The black-robed wizard spat lightly, clearly having no intention of taking this purely physical kinetic energy attack head-on.
His figure became "blurred" again.
When the two metal fists collided with devastating wind pressure, unleashing a deafening clang of metal against metal and a visible circular shockwave, the black-robed wizard had already "appeared" directly in front of the metal giant's enormous head, level with the two blazing white flames in the giant's eye sockets.
His eyes were icy cold. This time, he extended two fingers, pointing them together like swords, and silently pointed them towards the metal giant's brow.
Buzz————
An invisible wave spread out.
Starting from the point where the finger touched the center of the forehead, the head of the metal giant rippled inwards like the surface of water after a stone was thrown in.
The ripples quickly spread to the entire head, neck, and even the remaining upper torso.
Rumble! ...
A scene of even more complete destruction than the previous collapse of the waist and abdomen unfolded.
The 10,000-meter-tall metal giant's upper body, along with its head, disintegrated completely into a metallic dust cloud that stretched for thousands of kilometers and blotted out the sun, as if in a frame-skipping motion!
But the black-robed wizard's expression didn't improve. Because within the dissipating dust clouds, he still couldn't find any trace of Augusta's true form!
call out!call out!call out!
At that moment, several sharp whooshing sounds came from below.
The metal dust that had scattered after the metal giant's waist and abdomen had been remagnetized and reshaped into seven or eight giant metal drills with diameters exceeding 100 meters and lengths exceeding 1,000 kilometers, and with spiral patterns at the front!
Accelerated by the strong magnetic field, they shot towards the black-robed wizard suspended in the air at tricky angles, like super electromagnetic cannons launched from the ground, leaving blue and white trails of lightning behind them!
"trouble----"
The black-robed wizard's figure flickered in the air several times, avoiding the direct impact of the drill with minimal movement, while a hint of impatience and understanding flashed in his eyes.
This will never end.
We still need to find the original body.
He no longer focused on destroying the endless metal creations, but instead devoted a portion of his mind to the laws of [fiction], activating an application that was more inclined towards "information exploration".
Thus, the feedback provided by the fictional laws entered his perception: in a certain area of the earth below, the magnetic field strength and disorder were abnormally concentrated.
Furthermore, the "source" of that magnetic field seems to be hidden deep underground, undergoing subtle adjustments and shifts at an extremely high frequency.
"So—it's hidden underground. Using the earth to shield itself from detection while continuing to remotely control the battle." The black-robed wizard instantly understood, a cold glint flashing in his dark red eyes.
Great, we've found the mouse hole.
He ignored the metal constructs around him that were reforming and eyeing him menacingly.
His figure vanished suddenly, then appeared out of thin air above that area.
While in mid-air, he raised his fist, the power of [fiction] gathering at the tip of his fist, locking onto the source of the constantly shifting magnetic field underground.
With this strike, he intended to "define" that area, along with the manipulator hiding within it, as "destroyed"!
However, just as his body touched the ground—
A sudden change has occurred!
The magnetic field below, which was originally "abnormally concentrated," suddenly changed in nature.
From a concealed source of manipulation, it instantly transformed into a powerful suppressive force field covering an area of several thousand meters in radius!
This force field was invisible and intangible, yet as heavy as a mountain and as sticky as glue, attempting to lock the black-robed wizard's figure and movements in place!
At the same time, the land below, which had been scorched into half-molten lava by the aftershocks of the battle, seemed to come alive!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Hundreds of colossal fists, formed entirely from dark red lava and hard rock, suddenly rose from the ground!
Each fist is over a hundred meters in diameter, with molten lava flowing across it, radiating terrifying heat and a sense of oppression.
They were not wielded haphazardly, but rather under some exquisite control, like hundreds of giant monks launching an attack simultaneously.
From all directions, up, down, left, and right, a nearly airtight cage of destruction was formed and slammed down on the black-robed wizard who had just entered the force field and whose figure was slightly sluggish!
In the distance, inside a giant metal drill bit that had just been dodged by the black-robed wizard and was deeply embedded in the ground, there was a small space where all aura and energy fluctuations were isolated by a precise force field.
Augusta held his breath, his eyes seemingly piercing through the metal shell, staring intently at the area in the distance that was engulfed by giant fists of lava.
Her smooth forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and her breathing was slightly rapid due to intense concentration and great exertion.
After confirming the critical importance of Jemin's information regarding the Law of Fiction, she devised this tactic.
It seems that she has always been in control, manipulating the devastating torrent of matter.
But only Augusta herself knew that she was walking a tightrope between life and death every single moment.
Her mental energy was being consumed like a flood, and the mental strain of controlling the overall battlefield and making tactical adjustments was so great that her temples were throbbing.
Auguste knew very well that if her true location was discovered even once, given the unreasonable power of the [Fiction] Law, she probably wouldn't even have time to react before being instantly "defined" as dead.
"Hang in there—almost there, that Jemin guy should be ready soon—"
She anxiously calculated the time in her mind, feeling that this brief stalemate, which lasted less than a second, felt like an eternity.
She had previously wondered just how strong an enemy could be to put that unfathomable Jemin in such a miserable and desperate situation.
Now that she was facing him in person, she was even more puzzled: Just how strong was that monster Jemin, that he could fight this guy and only end up looking disheveled?!
Just as she was fully focused on controlling the lava giant fist to unleash a saturation bombardment, and began to consider whether to continue the offensive or immediately move to a new hiding place—
A voice, calm and undisturbed, seemed to resonate deep within her eardrums, like the coldest venomous snake suddenly burrowing in: "Good job, found you."
In an instant, every hair on Augusta's body stood on end!
Her black pupils contracted to the size of pinpoints, and an overwhelming chill instantly froze her blood and mind!
