Chapter 1427: Chapter 988 Dizzy?
The black lightning was not the Thunder Element, but the Power of Devour. The Power of Devour was not strong enough to devour light, yet it still compressed and tore the spatial matter and elements around it, creating a friction that produced fine space rifts.
Such a lightning hammer from the abyss could not be taken head-on, or you'd be shredded by space rifts.
Ange reached out with a gesture next to the path of the incoming hammer. Centered around his fist, the light and space contracted inward–the Power of Devour.
It wasn't just Negris who could wield the Power of Devour; Ange was more familiar with this power. It was just that his current body was not strong enough to unleash the full might of the Power of Devour; his body would be crushed.
Although he couldn't use 'full force,' one-fifth or one-third of his power was still manageable. The devouring force field he created immediately deflected the direction of the hammer, causing it to veer off to the side.
Negris and the others looked toward the corner where the hammer had flown from, only to see a humanoid figure made up of Black Crystal with its body turned sideways, maintaining the posture of throwing the hammer, its face turned to look in this direction.
Black Crystal? Humanoid? But not a skeleton? My God, what is this thing? Negris's eyes widened in horror: “What the heck is this? What is this thing?”
Anthony pressed his forehead, Holy Light flowed over his body, turning into the Pope's tiara and Divine Soul, while silver coin slung a sack as tall as himself over his shoulders, and Durken wrapped his cloak around himself, disappearing in a puff of smoke.
Everyone was on high alert against this unseen Black Crystal humanoid, but soon they realized that Ange hadn't even looked at the Black Crystal humanoid; instead, his attention was on the hammer that hit the ground.
Negris looked puzzledly but before it could make anything out, the Black Crystal humanoid in the corner suddenly collapsed with a clatter.
“Is the hammer the main body?” Negris immediately realized, shouting loudly, and Anthony and the others hurriedly turned their attention to the hammer.
On the ground where the hammer lay, a mass of Black Crystal began to rise, as if something was gripping the hammer and burrowing out from the ground, forming a Black Crystal arm, then a shoulder, a chest, a torso, a head, and lastly a humanoid holding the hammer high.
“Too much talk, die…” The Black Crystal humanoid holding the hammer repeated the initial phrase and dashed forward violently.
Ange raised his hand, and a large sandy hand emerged from the ground, grabbing one of the humanoid's feet like a tripwire, causing it to stumble forward.
The Black Crystal humanoid's foot snapped off, the sandy hand from the ground was also pulled up, and both the broken foot and the humanoid crumbled to pieces in mid-air.
The one-footed Black Crystal humanoid lunged forward, the hammer smashed toward him, but completely lacking speed. It couldn't tear out spatial rifts or electric sparks and was caught by a void grip from Ange.
Ange released the Power of Devour in the palm of his hand, like a drain, firmly absorbing the hammer, while simultaneously kicking out at the Black Crystal humanoid's body, shattering it apart.
With that, the hammer, now without the support of the Black Crystal humanoid, was firmly suspended in the air in front of Ange.
Negris gaped in amazement: “So weak? I thought the Black Crystal humanoid was powerful, how come it's so weak?”
“Not weak. It's just that it was countered by the Lord. If the Lord hadn't been here, none of us could have withstood that hammer just now. We would have been torn apart by the Power of Devour,” Anthony saw the hint and did not agree with Negris, pointing to the ground where the hammer had hit and said.
At the first point of impact, the hammer had left a spiderweb crack, and it was clear that some Black Crystal fragments were scattered.
Negris gasped, the ground was all Black Crystal. Looking at it like this, that hammer just now must have been very dangerous, smashing even Black Crystal, with spatial rifts and electric sparks, no one could bear it if it hit them.
Unfortunately, it met its nemesis in Ange, who was all too familiar with the power of devouring, as he was the master of the Abyssal Big Mouth.
Thus, with a twist and a trip, the hammer found itself under control, and it took a long while for it to break the silence and mutter, “Who are you…?”
“This is the Origin of the Abyss, and you? Who are you?” Negris did not dare to get close and asked from a distance because both Ange's feigned grasp and the hammer itself carried the power of the Abyss, there was a subtle force pulling them in that direction. The closer they got, the greater this 'force' became.
The hammer replied, “Universal Pull Divine Hammer.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the space around the hammer slowly distorted as if it were caving inwards, and even the light dimmed significantly.
It seemed that the Universal Pull Divine Hammer had not reached the extent of devouring light, and it was unknown whether its power had weakened after shrinking, because based on its external appearance, the power of devouring of the Universal Pull Divine Hammer should be strong enough to devour light.
The space nearby was collapsing towards the center, also pulling Ange towards the hammer, while Negris and the others felt the gravity as if changing direction, slowly turning towards the direction of the Universal Pull Divine Hammer becoming 'below'.
“Gravitational midline!” Negris exclaimed when the Holy Kingdom was once upturned above the Resting Abyss, there was a gravitational midline between Heaven and the Abyss, originally flying upward, but as soon as it crossed the gravitational midline, the direction changed to 'downward' – an incredible phenomenon.
However, having recognized the Abyssal Big Mouth, such changes had become commonplace. Negris was simply reminding everyone, but without his prompt, the rest had already lain down on the ground.
Ange's palm began to spin rapidly around the Divine Hammer, as if cleaning a window, only with his palm's motion, the Divine Hammer also swiftly spun along.
At the center of the Divine Hammer was a devouring force field, and at the center of Ange's palm there was a weaker devouring force field. The two intertwining force fields formed a complex binary structure, where the motion of one would cause the other to rotate.
As Ange's palm rotated around the hammer, his palm was in orbital motion, while the Universal Pull Divine Hammer was in axial rotation. As they rotated, the warped space around the hammer gradually began to restore itself.
Negris finally understood what Ange was doing, and he spat out a mouthful of old blood in shock, “Pf… Using its rapid rotation to generate centrifugal force to counteract the devouring force field?”
Ange had the leisure to shake his head.
What? It's not that? Negris was astonished that he had misread the situation.
Before Ange could explain, the Universal Pull Divine Hammer suddenly went haywire, its devouring force field disappeared, and the head and handle of the hammer spun chaotically, as if dizzy?
“Pf… Dizzy? It's not even a living creature, how can it be dizzy?” Negris thought it was too absurd.
Ange said, “Gravitational change, consciousness in disarray.”
With that, Ange reached out to grip the handle of the hammer. The color of his arm suddenly changed, as if crystallizing, quickly spreading up his arm towards his entire body–Ultimate Transformation: Black Crystal Body.
Negris understood. The hammer was sensitive to the direction of gravity, and changes in gravity would affect its consciousness. The direction of gravity alternating up and down, left and right, quickly disorienting it, unable to discern direction.
Although very clever, without understanding the power of devouring, it would be impossible to think of such a cunning method.
However, the disorientation of the Universal Pull Divine Hammer only lasted for a brief moment. By the time it steadied its mind, Ange had completed the transformation and could withstand the powerful force. The light around them dimmed — the Devouring Abyss, as the power of Devour crazily surged into the hammer.
