Raising all of humanity: Starting with a backyard pool world

Chapter 104 [Confrontation, Mobile Catastrophe]

The wind disappeared at the end of the mountains.

The pristine white ice surface trembled, and in just three seconds, thunder roared from the ground into the sky.

"boom--!"

Chen Kai shot out like a bullet, accompanied by shattered ice shards.

"Everyone on high alert! The boss is online!"

In mid-air, the runes attached to Chen Kai's [Wind Fang] cushioned the kinetic energy of his fall.

They landed steadily at the designated location, and without any prompting, the remaining three already felt the chill emanating from the behemoth.

Countless dark, viscous substances, resembling liquid rock, surged toward the surface.

High in the sky, a single, pale white eye rotates, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Obsidian Behemoth

The aura emanating from it was so overwhelming that the four of them could not straighten their backs.

The worst off was Li Yao, who had two streaks of bright red blood flowing from her mouth and nose. She clutched her burning chest with her [Guardian Heart], longing for a moment of peace.

"This boss even has an arena mechanic? Wait, let me check if my gear can withstand it." Wang Xuan stepped forward, blocking the way for everyone.

The Scholar's Barrier was activated, and the runes engraved on it began to function.

A pale golden hemispherical force field opened up, and the probing impact from the behemoth struck the shield, stirring up ripples.

Clearly, the force field couldn't withstand that attack.

"Don't look it in the eye! Li Yao, stay calm... stay calm!" Wang Xuan gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead. "Ai Jia, switch to the backup plan, this boss is way too strong!"

Aija, positioned at the rear of the group, was using her [Prospector] leather armor to analyze information about the behemoth.

"OK, Chen Kai! Let's get it into the pit!"

Over there, Chen Kai pointed his spear, unleashing a whirlwind, and then, with a slightly provocative air, turned and charged towards a depression on his left.

Enraged, the giant beast roared and charged towards Chen Kai, sweeping across the land.

Half of its body entered the depression. Aija seized the opportunity and crushed the creation in her hand that contained the power of the [Seed of Chaos], but was now a remote control.

"Define the environment—[Hysteresis]!"

As a result of this action, some of the rules in that area were altered.

The behemoth's frenzied charge abruptly halted, its movements faltering. Countless black tentacles hovered in mid-air, writhing, trying to break free from this invisible constraint.

"It worked! Its surface defense couldn't stop it!" Chen Kai was overjoyed. He turned around and unleashed a fully charged [Wind King's Hammer], slamming it hard into the giant beast's stiff body.

But the next second, a strange gray ripple appeared on its surface, and countless tiny mouths opened up, swallowing the air.

In just two seconds, the behemoth was covered with a grayish, gelatinous shell.

It moved again, with earth-shaking power.

"boom!"

A tentacle seemed to fall slowly, but it smashed a large crater in the ground, sending flying debris hitting Wang Xuan's shield.

Aja trembled with rare fear. "It won't take our cheat codes! Instead, it's gotten stronger! Now its attacks have a built-in gravity boost!"

"Adaptive abilities? This isn't the Minecraft parasite mod, and it even has adaptive abilities? That's just ridiculous!"

Chen Kai rolled awkwardly to dodge the second strike, the wind pressure from which it hit stung his cheek.

"Try again! It might be a coincidence!" Wang Xuan roared. "Give it the opposite!"

Ai Jia gritted her teeth and activated the [Seed of Chaos] once again.

"Define Environment - [Fragile]!" The target is the rock beneath the behemoth's feet and its newly formed gelatinous shell.

"Click, click..."

The gray, gelatinous substance on the surface of the giant beast was cracked and peeled off in large chunks.

Its massive body also seemed to have collapsed due to structural instability, turning into a pile of black fragments.

"Did you take them down?" Li Yao cautiously peeked out.

But reality immediately gave them a resounding slap in the face.

The black fragments on the ground vibrated and reassembled, taking advantage of the fragmentation properties brought about by [Fragility] to break them down into smaller parts.

The enormous monster transformed into hundreds and thousands of small obsidian tarantulas, each half a meter tall.

They surged towards the four of them, overwhelming and densely packed.

"Damn it! It even turns 'vulnerability' into a tactical advantage!" Chen Kai swung his spear like a whirlwind, shredding the approaching black spiders, but the shattered spiders split apart again, becoming smaller and more numerous.

The attacks of mortals are merely different kinds of snacks to it.

Wang Xuan's shield dimmed rapidly, and the word "danger" almost appeared above the heads of the four people.

"We can't hold on! Physical attacks are ineffective, and magical attacks are being absorbed, even helping it evolve!" Wang Xuan felt a sense of despair. "Does this thing have no weaknesses?"

"weakness……"

Aijia, who was at the core of the front line of protection, forced herself to calm down amidst the suffocating "thousand-eyed gaze".

Countless pieces of information flashed through her mind: the exploration team's logs, the body structure of the behemoth, and fragments from the ancient archives of the dwarves.

Our probe was eaten...

It avoided the energy furnace and only devoured the outer shell.

[Unable to digest...]

Aijia looked up, staring at the horde of monsters. "It's not without weaknesses! It's just too picky about food!"

She yelled into the comms: "Stop attacking and feeding it! Its digestive system can't process energy; it needs to attach energy to something to eat, like..."

"It's like you have to eat something while drinking water, otherwise you'll get water intoxication?" Wang Xuan followed the train of thought.

"That's right!" Aijia was clearly at her wit's end, her whole demeanor bordering on madness. "We'll stuff it until it dies!"

Chen Kai swept away a swarm of black spiders with a single shot, panting heavily: "Speak human language! What do I need to do?"

"Saturate feeding!" Ai Jia turned to look at Li Yao, who had been in the support role.

At this moment, the [Guardian Heart] amulet in Li Yao's arms was vibrating at a high frequency as Li Yao continuously squeezed out its energy.

"Li Yao, what is the maximum power output of the [Seed of Chaos] that you can control?" Ai Jia asked.

Li Yao wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. "If we don't consider the limits of endurance..."

The girl, who would normally be trembling with fear due to her survival instinct, revealed a somewhat sinister smile.

That's... everything.

"Alright." Wang Xuan removed half of the defenses. "Then let's give it a big one."

"Support Li Yao with all your might!" Ai Jia clasped her hands together, pushing the [Seed of Chaos] to its limit.

[Target locked: Obsidian aggregate]

[Implanted Conceptual Logic: Infinite Loop]

[Specific definition: An unlimited supply, instant regeneration, an insatiable...feast!]

"Li Yao! Release!" With Ai Jia's command, Li Yao let out a heart-wrenching scream.

She stopped suppressing it and completely detonated the Seed of Chaos.

This seed, which should have been the ultimate catastrophe for the world, has finally revealed its fangs in this world.

A beam of pure white light shot out from Li Yao's chest, pointing directly at the core of the body hidden underground.

The black spider swarm remained in place, and the single eye opened again in the void, its gaze a mixture of greed and confusion, as it looked at the delicious meal that had been delivered to its door.

Instinct drove it to open its mouth wide and swallow it whole.

eat.

This is the only thing it has done in billions of years.

The reaction was swift; the behemoth's body instantly expanded.

The originally scattered spider swarm was forced to regroup, forcibly pulled together by the uncontrolled proliferation of energy within their bodies.

It tried to digest it, but the power originating from the Seed of Chaos not only did not decrease, but increased dramatically.

撑！

rise!

It transforms from colloid into rock, from rock into crystal, and then vaporizes.

"Strike while the iron is hot!" Ai Jia bled from all seven orifices; this was the price of unrestrained stimulation.

As if to prove her words, a huge crack appeared in the center of the behemoth's mountain-like body.

A cluster of crystals pulsating with an eerie red light emerged from the churning flesh and rock.

That is its heart, and also the weakness of this mobile calamity—the Heart of the Abyss.

"Chen Kai, go!" Wang Xuan used his last bit of energy to propel Chen Kai forward, using his equipment as a boost.

Chen Kai bent his knees slightly, and his whole body transformed into a streak of azure light as he charged forward!

The [Wind Fang] in his hand seemed to sense its master's will, and a high-pressure cyclone surged from the spearhead.

A fatal blow!

A streak of light drew a straight line through the air, passing through that fleeting gap.

Sizzle.....
