Chapter 1139: Chapter 138: Giant Beast (18)
It felt like an eternity had passed, yet also like a fleeting moment.
The Heart Monkey Staff pierced straight into the approaching hand of the Giant Beast,
The staff head, embedded with the Golden Hoop, scraped sparks against the Golden Shield’s surface.
Screech—
The sharp noise from the A.T. Force Field resonated audibly across the district.
Even with the soft, thick mantle of the Pale World, the windows of nearby skyscrapers shattered in large numbers.
"Roar!!!!"
The Tail Rat roared ferociously, stacking its left forelimb over the right forelimb’s palm,
Pressing the upper half of its body’s weight onto its hands, intent on flattening all obstacles with the A.T. Force Field as a shield.
"Hm."
Li Ang’s will spread outwards,
The Pale World Mantle released earlier rapidly reconstructing the subterranean environment, solidifying the ground.
Li Ang tightly gripped the Heart Monkey Staff, channeling spiritual power like a rushing river into it, causing the Heart Monkey Staff to continue expanding.
"Rise!"
The enlarged Heart Monkey Staff withstood the A.T. Force Field and pushed the Deep Sea Giant Beast’s limb upwards.
The Tail Rat instinctively stomped the ground, lowering its tail to shift its balance.
However, Li Ang’s strength and the expansion speed of the heart monkey still exceeded its expectations,
The massive body of the Giant Beast was forcibly moved,
Its hind claws dragged out wide, deep furrows in the mantle-covered ground.
Bang!!
The retreating Tail Rat collided heavily against a skyscraper,
Its spine and muscles flowed with visible physical shockwaves,
The forelimb elbow, pinned down by the heart monkey, rammed into the building, sweeping aside everything inside.
It wasn’t over yet,
Li Ang unleashed alchemical transformation on the ground.
Swamp God Power infused the Pale World Mantle, fortifying the soil,
The land beneath Li Ang’s feet came alive, billowing forward like waves,
Carrying the Heart Monkey Staff, akin to Optimus Prime, further ahead.
Crack, crack—
Accompanied by collapsing sounds from the skyscrapers, Tail Rat’s A.T. Force Field fluctuated,
Finally, the Golden Shield vanished.
With a hiss!
The Heart Monkey Staff, unhindered, pierced through the Tail Rat’s palms effortlessly,
Following the earlier Storm Red cut, it stabbed into the Deep Sea Giant Beast’s neck.
The Deep Sea Giant Beast howled,
Blue blood splattered like ink from the wounds on its neck and palms,
Wherever the blood landed, whether solid skyscrapers or Pale World Mantle,
It melted away, releasing thick smoke.
"This, this..."
In the command hall, everyone stared at the screen in disbelief at the unfolding battle,
Is this really something humans can achieve?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible..."
Monster Science Department’s Monster Biology Chief Newton Geizler stared blankly, muttering repeatedly.
He was a dedicated monster enthusiast within PPDC,
Despite his deep-sea biological studies, dissecting organs, publishing papers, providing scientific evidence for defeating deep-sea creatures at PPDC,
It didn’t prevent his affinity for the powerful, resilient Deep Sea Giant Beasts.
The mentioned affinity,
Wasn’t like the fanaticism of the Deep Sea Church treating beasts as true deities,
More like an admiration for the strength of life forms themselves.
"Only A.T. Force Field can counter A.T. Force Field!"
Newton Geizler suddenly realized, slamming the table, "Without an A.T. Force Field, not even tons of hydraulic pressure can destroy a Deep Sea Giant Beast!
This isn’t right!"
"Calm down!"
Beside Newton, Monster Science Department physicist Hermann Gotlieb restrained his excited friend, "Look at the data on the display!
This Mr. Li has an Ohm Index too,
Moreover, the Tail Rat voluntarily deactivated the A.T. Force Field earlier!"
"Voluntarily deactivated?"
General Stake quickly turned, looking at Hermann, his expression mixed with astonishment and realization, "Not good!"
He pressed his lips tightly, forcefully hitting the communication button, about to speak,
When he saw the screen, the Tail Rat’s mouth slyly curled into an almost human-like crafty smile.
Buzz—
The Deep Sea Giant Beast raised the A.T. Force Field once more,
This time, the Golden Shield was larger and brighter,
Covered the Tail Rat completely,
And trapped the Heart Monkey Staff firmly within the shield.
"Huh?"
Li Ang tried pulling the Heart Monkey Staff, but it felt fused with space, immovable,
And the persistent pressure of the A.T. Force Field,
Made the Heart Monkey emit sharp sounds, trembling slightly as if nearing a break.
"Using oneself as bait, willing to be wounded, luring me to attack,
Then suddenly raising the A.T. Force Field, firmly trapping my weapon..."
Under the monocle, Li Ang’s gaze was like a still ancient well.
A.T. Force Field truly lived up to its name, claimed as the "Absolute Terror Field,"
Severely weakening all exceptional powers within its range,
Even the Heart Monkey Staff couldn’t expand further.
However, no expansion doesn’t mean no transformation...
Li Ang ceased pulling the staff,
But opened his arms, embracing the Heart Monkey.
"Small!"
With a low shout, the Heart Monkey rapidly contracted,
Before the Tail Rat could react, it left the range of the A.T. Force Field.
Heart Monkey’s as-you-wish effect utilizes spiritual power, changing its size and weight,
Once spiritual power injection ceases, it automatically returns to original size.
The A.T. Force Field is indeed domineering, halting the special effect of Perfect Level gear Heart Monkey, but the A.T. Force Field isn’t pure spiritual power, it can’t stop the Heart Monkey’s reversion.
"Animal trickery, how substantial is it."
Li Ang maintained the Heart Monkey at fifty meters long and bowl-thickness,
His foot pressed the ground,
Knee slowly bent,
Suddenly leaped,
Swung the Heart Monkey Staff, tracing a half-moon trajectory in the air, aimed at the Deep Sea Giant Beast’s head.
The Tail Rat seemed aware of the impending event, stood straight, striving to expand the A.T. Force Field maximally.
Clang————
A visible powerful shockwave reverberated in the city’s sky,
Scattering raindrops, abruptly halting the downpour.
The Tail Rat’s eyes shifted backward, staring at the staff crushing its neck into a 90° angle, orange-yellow eyes flashing an unfathomable sentiment.
"A.T. Force Field?"
Floating in the air, right hand gripping the Heart Monkey Staff, left hand holding the Deep Sea Creature’s Pineal Body, Li Ang with golden glow flaring off his skin,
Gazed coldly at the collapsing Tail Rat, uttered calmly, "Apologies, I can use it too."
