Chapter 89: 072. Roche limit

The gravitational field expanded to a radius of 15 meters, instantly capturing the professor.

Twenty times gravity compression!

No one could resist gravity, not even the Transcendent.

The overwhelming pressure came in an instant, snapping the professor’s spine immediately. Her head tilted, as the high gravity pressed the wind and snow uniformly against her body, forming a scorching mist.

The continuous shockwaves not only prevented her from lifting her head but also caused her entire skin to resonate rapidly.

"I thought you were as rational as I am, equally driven by profits."

The professor struggled to raise her hand, a needle protruding from her palm, injecting some sort of reagent into her body.

"Rational, my ass!"

Li Aozi swung the chain, the iron link made taut by gravity like a gleaming Holy Sword, slicing cleanly across the professor’s neck.

Gurgle——

The reagent fused quickly with her cells, causing the professor’s figure to blur suddenly, her backbone splitting open like gills.

With a hiss, high-pressure blood steam sprayed out, propelling her body sideways, narrowly avoiding Li Aozi’s slash.

"If humanity remained rational, how much pointless waste could be avoided."

The professor’s wide mouth split open, a slender proboscis protruding from her throat.

Her lungs and organs burst out like butterfly wings, spreading five or six meters wide. Her limbs became thinner and flatter, the muscle fibers extending outward and filling with air.

In an instant, the Infant Eater’s body lost its humanoid shape and transformed into a grotesque, monstrous form.

"Truly impressive abilities..."

The professor dodged Li Aozi’s whipping strikes while praising him.

By reducing her body weight and expanding her surface area, relying on air resistance, she forcefully withstood such a gravitational environment.

She raised her claws, dark red blood pouring out from the heat vents on her body. Due to dehydration, her voice grew increasingly hoarse:

"You probably control gravity or some such Arcane Energy. If it were a Mechanic or a Martial Artist who met you, they’d be done for."

She suddenly took a deep breath, the lung leaves extending from her back like wings, inflating to a width of twenty meters, her blood vessels filled with air, reducing her body density to less than a quarter of its original.

"But for a Biochemist, your attacks are too weak!"

This action allowed her to overcome gravity’s limits momentarily, lifting off the ground briefly, escaping from the range of Li Aozi’s gravitational field, soaring high like a hunting falcon, and quickly dive-bombing down!

Bang!

Li Aozi seized the opportunity, suddenly releasing the chain. As the professor swooped down, he pivoted in mid-air, elegantly avoiding her outstretched claws.

At the same time, he spun and landed deftly like a gymnast. The chains in his hand spread wide, forming a net that instantly captured the professor’s diving form.

"Get down!"

Li Aozi clutched the chains tightly, the twentyfold gravity flipping them, slamming the professor’s body toward the ground. However, even so, the professor’s inherent strength remained far superior. With a slight struggle, her irresistible force lifted Li Aozi entirely off the ground, hurling him into the air!

The power difference was too great.

The capillaries in Li Aozi’s arms burst, the force transmitted through the chains already diverted by his gravity manipulation, emitting a series of explosive sound waves in the air.

Even so, his right wrist dislocated with a bone-jarring snap, like the shattering of a glass cup on the floor.

"I can fail countless times, but one hit from me, and you’re finished, Li Aozi!"

The professor shrieked, realizing she couldn’t break free from the gravitational chains. These chains sunk deep into her muscles, the regenerating flesh covering them together.

She suddenly twisted her waist, sprinting away madly. Li Aozi, like a kite, was dragged through the air, unable to break free.

Maybe neither could do anything to the other, but nature could easily deal with them both.

Because the storm was coming.

Crack!

Lightning stretching hundreds of kilometers lit up the sky, the arc-traversing ozone sharp and fishy, followed by rolling thunder, like the world was collapsing, roaring like mountains crashing down.

Rumble——

"Arghhhhhhhh——!!!"

Li Aozi gritted his teeth, yanking on the chains. His Arcane Energy rapidly depleted, then quickly recovered, but his limits were clear.

He couldn’t trigger another fortyfold gravity compression; that would shatter the already battered chains.

If that happened, he could no longer control the professor.

The thunderous rumble from afar brought Li Aozi to sudden clarity.

"The storm...yes, if I can’t handle you, the storm definitely can."

Li Aozi’s eyes burned with determination. He calculated quickly in his mind, suddenly shifting gravity, lowering his body, using the Scavenger’s sturdy coat to glide across the ground.

He nearly forgot, the Mall’s fashion wouldn’t be destroyed.

"The designers of ’Starry Abyss!’ I declare your mother lives again!" Li Aozi exclaimed in delight, giving the game designers the highest praise.

Li Aozi manipulated gravity continuously to adjust, directing his acceleration backward, increasing it. The professor’s frantic strides grew more sluggish, the chains deeply embedded in her skeletal frame holding her and pulling her back.
