But in reality, the Warrior’s collision wasn’t successful, or rather, it wasn’t completely successful. When he rushed towards Zhong Wei, it seed as if he was suddenly slowed down infinitely. His original speed of nearly a hundred yards per second decreased to zero in an extrely short ti. Although he was less than a centiter away from Zhong Wei, this negligible distance couldn’t be shortened any further, as if there was an extrely thin wall of air in front of him, cutting off any hope of contact.
"Good strength, but far from enough to deal with ."
After easily blocking the Warrior’s charge, Zhong Wei assessed calmly. Before this Warrior could muster all his strength to swing his short knife at him, Zhong Wei suddenly increased the magnitude of gravity manipulation, causing the Warrior, who was emanating a white glow, to have his feet lifted off the ground abruptly and be flung into the air like a tossed ball.
At the sa ti, the third wave of attack was launched, with three outsiders making their move.
One was an already invisible Assassin, who seized the mont when Zhong Wei used his power on soone else to appear behind him and attempted to slit his throat with a dagger.
Another was a Gunman at so distance, who also chose this mont to pull the trigger. But the weapon in his hand didn’t fire bullets; instead, it emitted a red ray.
The last one was a Magic user who had just bestowed the protective white glow on the Warrior. Sohow, they summoned a slender phantom resembling ink wash, which attacked Zhong Wei with terrifying speed.
"Now it finally feels a bit like an outsider’s attack."
At this mont, Zhong Wei still did not make any move to dodge. While controlling gravity to repel the Warrior, he wasn’t in a state of defensive weakness, nor even busy. Sensing the enemies launching their third wave of attack, he felt not only unconcerned but like this finally had a sense of battle.
He suddenly appeared covered in a layer of silver-gray. This color wasn’t very conspicuous, but it vaguely gave off an extrely resilient feeling, greatly hindering all attacks landing on him.
Specifically, there were two attacks that hit Zhong Wei, but the Assassin’s sneak attack from behind was not one of them because the Assassin was imdiately repelled far away by his gravity manipulation, sliding across the square for a long distance. The real hits were from the paralyzing ray of the Gunman and the obscure phantom attack from the Magic user.
The reason these attacks could hit was not just because they had extrely fast trajectories but also because they were non-physical, making them difficult for gravitational control to affect. Of course, the fact that Zhong Wei hadn’t even planned to dodge was also very crucial, as his activation of the talization ability signified his decision to take them head-on.
Never underestimate this powerful psychic’s talization ability as just an addition to his gravitational control. In fact, his talization ability is highly rated because, based on Zhong Wei’s own tests, the defensive substance ford by his talization isn’t any known tal, nor does it fit the usual definition of tal. It possesses a unique property that adaptively changes defense attributes against attacks. The term talization is just arbitrarily chosen.
Therefore, when the paralyzing ray and obscure phantom hit Zhong Wei, most of the damage he suffered was blocked by the defense ford by the talization ability. Simply put, he remained in an unscathed state, as the enemy’s attacks still failed to have any real effect.
"Is this the extent of it? I might have overestimated you."
Unscathed, Zhong Wei couldn’t help but feel so disappointnt, signaling that he no longer intended to stand still as a live target, planning instead to take the offensive.
And when an S-class psychic really shows their might, the scene is incomparable to just now with the five-player models.
Rumble!
At the mont Zhong Wei exerted his power, the entire square experienced a violent tremor!
Pieces of smooth stone slabs separated from their familiar grounds and began to float upward!
The sa happened to all the enemies present. Unable to resist, the five-player models were dragged upward, including the twelve ard robots summoned by an individual, who were taken up into the sky as well, unable to keep their feet on the ground or control themselves anymore.
"Mist Walker."
While in mid-air, the Gunman used a special skill, temporarily turning into a phasic state to briefly escape the control. However, this state couldn’t last long and did not allow effective attacks, failing to change their impending outco.
Not long after, observing from the top level of the tower, Wang Zhifan saw the five-player models he had assigned to the eyeglass-wearing, lab coat-clad psychic failed miserably in battle, practically getting toyed with unilaterally by their opponent until all were compressed into a sphere from a distance, ending the encounter.
"That person is very strong. Ordinary players are likely unable to take him down."
Upon seeing this, Wang Zhifan concluded in his mind that this native was stronger than any other he had encountered so far. With the survival ga assigning such an opponent to the players, it was clear how inhumane the ga’s chanism was.
"I’m fairly confident I can take him down... but is it necessary?"
He continued pondering his next move, considering whether to act again.
His conclusion soon reached the need to act, because this enemy was currently giving off an overconfident aura. Seeing how easily he handled five-player models, it seed he felt extrely good about his state. With that mindset, Wang Zhifan feared he might disregard the player group and his Black Tower, possibly causing troubleso situations.
Thus, within the square inside the Black Tower, as Zhong Wei handled all seventeen opponents, crushed them into light shavings under the imnse pressure, suddenly another opponent appeared nearby, catching his attention.
It was a towering figure wearing a bamboo hat and a long sword at the waist. Unlike the solid-feeling enemies earlier, Zhong Wei instantly judged this figure to be an undeniable spectral essence.
"Heh, so you’ve discovered my weakness, sending an opponent unaffected by gravity?"
Zhong Wei imdiately understood the enemy’s intent but was not nervous. As an S-class psychic and a research staff mber, he had so experience in dealing with such rare opponents, albeit lazy about using them on those weaklings earlier.
"Gravity Wave!"
He thodically controlled the gravitational variation of the matter around him, forming incomprehensible gravity ripples, which might not have been practical against physical enemies, being complex to operate with no extra effectiveness compared to conventional attacks. However, it held significant efficacy against non-corporeal existences—a different quality altogether.
When Wang Zhifan controlled his Dream Avatar, encountering the influence of the Gravity Wave, he instantly felt his control over the avatar beco sluggish as if a small boat swaying endlessly in rough waves, making precise navigation by the boatman difficult.
"I didn’t expect this native to have such ans, but too bad he t ."
Upon seeing this, Wang Zhifan reactivated the Demon Skin Scroll, projecting a part of his strength onto his avatar, swiftly dispelling the obscure ripples’ influence. This included the protective power of the Rog Necklace, the immunity to negative effects of the Overlord title, etc., all enough to strengthen the avatar, making it more suitable for the current work.
"It’s actually immune to my Gravity Wave influence? Interesting."
Upon discovering this, Zhong Wei, clad in a white lab coat and glasses, beca intrigued. He imdiately began the next phase of battle, fully activating the talization mode to respond to this enemy.
Wang Zhifan had long observed the white lab coat youth’s skin had ultra-strong defense. So, to teach the opponent a lesson, his main body took out the Ti Blade, also adding the unavoidable damage bonuses of the Ti Blade to the Dream Avatar.
Power projection of this kind is indeed energy-consuming, not strictly cost-effective, but Wang Zhifan’s attributes are so overwhelmingly high, what would be a huge expense for other players is just warm-up for him.
