My Ability Pool is Superior - Chapter 401: Well Said
In this area, the balance of gravity was completely shattered.
Everything inside the area—rocks, vegetation, air…—nothing could escape the influence. From outside, one could barely see Lu Bai located within it.
After all, according to general relativity, gravity is essentially a curvature of spacetime. Even light, which has no mass, would distort under such terrifying gravity disaster.
It was impossible to see clearly with the naked eye what the situation was inside this area erupting with gravity disaster.
The power that should have belonged to nature instead filled this scene under human control with a shocking impact that struck straight to the heart.
Objectively speaking, without considering long-range effects and cumulative effects on astronomical scales, gravity ranks near the bottom among the four fundamental forces.
But using such power merely to target a carbon-based lifeform less than two meters tall was in no way exaggerated by saying it was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
The completely chaotic gravity tore apart everything in this area at the molecular level.
Far more terrifying than the destruction caused by Lu Bai using Iron Fist Breaks Wind and Needle Girl Soul.
Moreover, the massive energy released by matter collapse was still intensifying the destructive effects in this area, with matter annihilation occurring in every corner of this area.
Not to mention gravel and grit—even oxygen molecules and carbon elements in the air all vanished entirely, turning this area into a true vacuum.
Although the effect of Steel Body was strong enough, Lu Bai could clearly feel the teeth-gritting signs of tearing sounding from various parts of his body.
It was worth noting that tiny beams of light at the edge of the area emitted barely detectable light and heat, unremarkable yet able to confine this gravity disaster within a certain scope.
This was astonishing—releasing energy and containing it after release were two completely different concepts. The latter meant this was not yet the Mona person’s strongest technological means.
It was like dropping a nuclear bomb to destroy a city, versus dropping a nuclear bomb under control to only kill people while preserving the city’s buildings.
The technological gap between these two operations was like a chasm.
This was far more than just one or two generations’ generational gap, so it was no wonder that the human high command at the time had no intention of resistance and directly chose surrender from the start.
Of course, Lu Bai had no time to think too much about this issue right now. What he needed to do was first find a way to escape from this terrifying area.
With Steel Body temporarily unable to be switched off, among the abilities he could currently use, only Flash Time could achieve a breakthrough effect.
As Flash Time activated, everything around him came to a standstill.
He took a slight breath, enduring the seemingly endless flood of energy, and struggled to squeeze outward.
Gravity, as a product of spacetime curvature, made the energy propagation speed in this area nearly equivalent to the speed of light, making it hard to trick one’s way around.
In such a difficult situation, Lu Bai hadn’t even taken a few steps before zero point five seconds quickly passed.
……
“What a magnificent scene.”
The White-robed Mona person gazed at this area erupting with gravity disaster, feeling a sense of admiration.
He naturally was not worried that Lu Bai could still come out alive.
After all, in his cognition, facing this kind of attack, let alone a carbon-based lifeform—even a silicon-based lifeform could not leave any remains.
The settlement leaders stood trembling beside the White-robed Mona person, their backs instinctively bending a few more degrees.
Feeling the situation was fully under control, the White-robed Mona person resumed his previous enigmatic posture: “Rest assured, as long as you submit obediently, we’re too lazy to bother.”
Hearing this, Big Biao Ge immediately pledged his loyalty with utmost sincerity: “Of course, of course. You are the great master—we revere you and have no time for that. How could I harbor any disloyal thoughts.”
“As expected of the tribe that gave birth to the master. Such profound means can only be mastered by the master.”
“Thank you for the master’s benevolence, allowing lowly existences like us to follow you.”
The other settlement leaders present were no fools—they wouldn’t let Big Biao Ge have all the glory to himself. They all spoke up, showering him with flattery as if it cost nothing.
Big Biao Ge was still racking his brains thinking of what method would best gain favor.
After all, Lu Bai had come with him, and more than one person had seen it.
He figured the White-robed Mona person hadn’t thought of it yet, but when he was truly interrogated about this matter, he definitely wouldn’t get off easy.
Given the means these Mona people had demonstrated so far, his original plan of just running away if exposed was clearly a bit fanciful.
Under real threat, he could only take an indirect approach to save the situation.
Big Biao Ge suddenly asked with feigned curiosity: “Great master, forgive your ignorant servant—why do your starships carry such wondrous weapons, rather than the star annihilator cannons from the fantasies of lowly servants like us?”
“Typical primitive civilization thinking.”
The White-robed Mona person made no effort to hide his sarcasm, but it wasn’t specifically targeted at Big Biao Ge.
To be precise, he was disdainful that these illiterates couldn’t truly understand the excellence of Mona people. Big Biao Ge’s straight man timing handed him the perfect opening, and he was quite satisfied with this perceptive guy: “The development of war weapons is essentially just the alternating evolution of spear and shield.
Take your clumsy land warfare development as an example—from cold weapons to flintlock guns, then to fully automatic machine guns, which completely eliminated human wave tactics. To counter the ‘spear’ developed to this degree, a brand-new ‘shield’ like the tank naturally emerged.
Unable to break the ‘shield,’ the ‘spear’ was forced to evolve toward greater attack power and longer attack range. But the ‘shield’ couldn’t keep up with that intensity—blindly stacking armor yielded too little return. Yet without a ‘shield,’ you had no choice but to develop anti-air defenses.”
At this point, the White-robed Mona person paused, then continued in a rather proud tone: “However, in space warfare, the development of ‘spear’ and ‘shield’ follows an entirely new logic.”
“Technological development proceeds step by step—even you Mona people are no exception. So in the initial stages of developing outer space, if you want to arm aerospace ships, energy becomes an unavoidable issue.”
A voice with slightly rapid breathing sounded from behind the White-robed Mona person.
He was just about to praise it as well said when suddenly he was startled.
Wait, this voice…
He stiffly turned toward the direction the sound came from.
To his horror, he discovered Lu Bai, who had changed into a new set of clothes, standing with a cheerful smile not far behind him. Moreover, aside from looking a bit disheveled, Lu Bai was completely unscathed.
