Thousand-Faced Dragon

Chapter 151 Desire for Survival

This is a volume that is theoretically impossible to rotate, but what if the "weight" of one end is always lighter than that of the other end?

The magical girl who controlled gravity did not reduce the weight of the entire sphere; that was simply impossible. She only needed to slightly lighten the rolling downward slope.

The principle of a seesaw is constantly being demonstrated. The difference in gravity brings about tilting and displacement, and the displacement brings inertia, so the "wheel" starts to turn.

At this moment, the sphere is somewhat like a constantly spinning waterwheel, being pushed faster and faster by the weight in front of it.

"Boom!"

Naturally, the massive boulder moved faster and faster.
"If you crash into it directly, even a dragon will be turned into a dragon meat pie."

It's hard to say whether the geography of the underground world limits its potential. In underground plains where underground cities are located, the volume is not only larger, but the terrain is also flatter.

This also allowed the boulder to crush everything with ever-increasing force.

The power of gravity and direction actually creates inertia and kinetic energy out of nothing!

Rean stared at the devastated battlefield before him. The mind flayers blocking his path had given their all, yet they still seemed unable to withstand this simple and absurd "physical mass."

At that moment, he realized that he had underestimated the most dangerous aspect of the "beasts." What was terrifying about them was never their extremely powerful bodies, but their innate privileges.

As the chosen one of the world, he has the privilege of directly rewriting the laws of physics!
"Let there be light." And light came.

"Heaven and earth are turned upside down." Thus, the direction of gravity is reversed.

Using this authority, along with their practical experience in the past, they are capable of any unusual tactics.

In a sense, they are similar to spellcasters, but more pure. Hasn't someone said that spellcasters who utilize "rules" are completely different in strength depending on whether they prepare before battle?
With sufficient prior preparation, a spellcaster's explosive power in actual combat can be doubled or even dozens of times greater. Moreover, the Beast Authority, which is also a rule, is even more unreasonable than the spellcaster's "magical rules".

Rean considered the possible abilities of the mind flayers; most of them were psychic abilities, seemingly a dead end, but...
"Buzz!"

Suddenly, the antlers of a deer emerged from the earth, radiating an eerie glow.

As the energy gathered, it gradually condensed into a point of light, which then transformed into a beam of light and completed its burst!
It struck the boulder without any hindrance.

This is probably the only solution.

Faced with well-prepared authority, the only way to fight back is to use your bare hands to forcibly dismantle the oncoming truck.

The only solution is to deal with authority with authority.

"Click."

However, the "forced braking" that bystander Rean expected did not occur.

On the contrary, it became even faster.

"Was there a mistake? No, it was intentional."

It didn't stop and even accelerated, but its direction seemed to have deviated slightly.

Perhaps there's only a slight difference now, but when we reach the top of the nest, we'll probably just barely graz it.

"I see. Forcing a confrontation is pointless; it's impossible to stop. We might as well go with the flow."

When the powers of gravity collide, the best outcome is that they cancel each other out. Even if this boulder, which has already started moving, loses the support of the powers, it will still need a long distance to stop, and by then it will still be smashed to pieces.

So, it further strengthens the opponent's power, but focuses on eliminating half of the gravity, just like when a car is halfway down a road, the left side of the car suddenly drops off and becomes half lighter, causing the car to tilt naturally.

Its authority isn't that strong, but it's not difficult for it to make the "vehicle" take a curved route.

The Beast Prince on the magical girl side inherited the power and skills of the Ancient Beasts, and the Beast Prince on the other side, who was being controlled, also possessed these skills, but used them even more skillfully under the control of a highly intelligent mainframe.

"boom!"

The large stone moved even faster, but a subtle deviation occurred.

"Stop, you coward."

"Our disgrace."

But its two brothers also made their move.

The two magical girls shone with a pure white light, seemingly dyeing the world around them white as well—a phenomenon caused by their forceful use of their authority.

Through a contract, the two beast princes borrowed the magical girl's body to maximize the output of their authority.

The already tilted boulder slightly adjusted its direction at this moment. The two began a contest that was imperceptible to the naked eye, with the boulder's trajectory constantly tilting and adjusting.

If it were the previous Rean, he probably would have thought they were competing in strength, but now, as a first-circle mage, he knows that it is actually a competition of computing power.

The difference in power between the two sides should not be significant, but rather in the position and angle at which they take effect. The direction of each force's application, after colliding with each other, must also be taken into account in the calculation of the final outcome.

As more and more effort is invested and more and more variables are introduced, the final calculated data will increase exponentially.

"boom!"

An even stranger scene unfolded: with both sides exerting more force at the same time, the stone accelerated even further.

"Damn it! Mastermind! You've tricked me!"

Another snail-shell ship, despite having escaped its straight trajectory, was still caught up by the boulder and crushed.

The accelerated stone became a crazed stone reaper, turning countless slaves and even mind flayers into pieces of flesh and blood in an instant. Desperate wails and screams of agony echoed throughout the space.

This was a scene that instilled despair in even the most observant onlookers. If this were Radiant City, it probably wouldn't be any different; the people in the city wouldn't even know how they died.

The beasts' power was revealed to the people on Earth for the first time during this demonic tide.

Fortunately, the mind flayers and the inhabitants of the underworld helped avert disaster.

"boom!"

Finally, the moment that had been waiting for arrived, and the struggle between the two sides came to an end.

The boulder grazed past the edge of the nest, causing large areas of collapse and fissures in the ground, and most of the underground nest collapsed.

Screams filled the air; the "precious" mind flayers died like chickens in a slaughterhouse.

However, the area where the mastermind and the deer head were located "just happened" to avoid the boulder.

Neither side won, but at least neither side suffered a complete defeat.

"Boom!"

With the forces of gravity and direction removed, the boulder naturally lost its source of power to continue rolling.

It rolled slower and slower, and even began to disintegrate on its own. But at this moment, no one cared about it or the unfortunate creatures in the direction it collapsed.

"Let us set out to wash away the shame of our bloodline."

A large number of small beasts pounced out of the shadows, their shapes changing as they revealed sharp teeth and claws.

For this moment, the Beast Prince mobilized almost all the beasts in the underworld.

The horde of beasts that rushed forward targeted the survivors who had passed by the boulder. The scattered survivors, who had lost their defensive positions and command system, died tragically one by one.

One by one, portals opened, and under the control of the mainframe, the mind flayers came to the rescue.

However, they still had a tough time.

Most mental abilities are meaningless to a heartless horde of beasts; their low intelligence and emotions are the natural enemies of most mental and charm abilities.

Just like Rean's command spells (bewitching spells), which require the target to understand them, mind spells that instill fear, unease, or joy are ineffective against hordes of beasts.

Even the all-powerful spell Mind Blast could only pause the beast tide for a moment.

It can be said that the mind flayers have encountered their natural enemy, and these new generation of brain-eaters simply cannot understand how such "pure" creatures can exist.

"boom!"

But at this moment, the mind flayer's mastermind also unleashed its ultimate weapon.

The giant deer, which was mostly buried underground, slowly stood up.

Has the situation been brought under control successfully? How could it have progressed so much faster than expected?

"Perhaps I should thank you for your attack. Faced with a life-or-death crisis, it finally stopped resisting, allowing me to obtain it."

The cheerful mastermind revealed the truth.

Just like the biggest limitation of the Bewitching Technique, it is impossible to command the controlled person to commit suicide. The Beast Prince, who followed his survival instinct, was successfully enslaved by the mastermind ahead of time!
