Chapter 545 - 431

Although this pitch-black stone ball isn’t large, it definitely far surpasses anyone’s imagination in weight. When Long Yi initially lifted the ball, no one gave it much thought considering he always topped the list of urban legends about Long Yi’s prodigious strength. However, when the diminutive Lolita beside Long Yi also lifted the stone ball, and seemed even more at ease with it than Long Yi himself, everyone was taken aback. What has happened to this world? Has it gone mad?!

Long Yi walked in front with Ruosha following behind, tossing the one-meter-diameter stone ball back and forth in his hand as if it were a mere toy.

By now, Long Yi had realized that Ruosha inherently possessed immense strength. When any situation emerged where her power wasn’t sufficient, her special ability would step in. The most direct manifestation of this was evident now.

The weight of the stone ball was apparently negligible in her hands, not even leaving a mark on the tender flesh of her palms.

Long Yi was returning to his camp. From a distance, two figures approached him.

One tall, the other short. One remarkably handsome, the other impressively burly.

"Long Yi, long time no see!"

the dashing youth greeted.

"Ah, it’s you guys. It indeed has been a long time," Long Yi replied with a smile.

The two approaching him were the same companions he’d met on the way to the Dragon Knight Academy’s library, where he almost got himself killed by the Power of Rules due to his mischief.

"Ah? Are you bullying kids?" the towering figure asked, looking at Ruosha who was lifting the stone ball. He had once challenged Long Yi to a test of brute strength and even mocked Long Yi for not being as robust as he was, only to be counter-mocked for not being as tall as Long Yi.

"You’re the kid!" Ruosha shot back, pouting.

"Right, Right! I’m the kid. Why don’t uncles help you with it?" The hefty figure flexed his muscles, which had become visibly stronger than before, and pointed at the stone ball in Ruosha’s hands. From his perspective, since Ruosha could handle it, the ball must be hollow or made of cork or a similar material, just a toy designed to look like a rock for children’s play.

"Okay!" Ruosha responded with a sweet smile, and lightly tossed the stone ball toward him.

"Idiot! Dodge it quick!"

Long Yi swiftly kicked him away.

"Bastard! How dare you kick me!"

Boom!

Before the big guy could finish cursing, the stone ball had already crashed into the ground, piercing the hard stone slabs and leaving only a small portion of it above the ground.

Both the guys in front of Long Yi were dumbstruck.

They hadn’t imagined the ball would be this heavy.

"Come help me with it, Uncle!"

At that moment, Ruosha flashed an innocent Lolita smile, a smile that Long Yi found eerily familiar.

"Xiao Zi, did you teach this kid something!" Long Yi asked her softly.

"Not at all! I just shared the basics that every real Lolita should know to protect herself against weird Uncles!" Xiao Zi responded with a light laugh.

The burly man refused to back down. He darted a resentful look at Long Yi, walked to the edge of the pit, bent down, and reached out to grab the ball.

"Heave!"

Despite his loud exclamation, the stone ball hardly budged!

My God!

The young man’s eyes moved reluctantly toward Ruosha. What sort of creature was this little girl? Why were all the girls around Long Yi so extraordinary? He had barely come to terms with the stunning beauties he’d met earlier and now, out of nowhere, this Lolita had appeared and she was so powerful!

After failing in his first attempt, sweat began to bead on the beefy man’s forehead.

Boom!

He exploded with Fighting Aura, his face turning from a rosy hue to purplish-red. Only then did the stone ball gradually rise from the ground.

Looking at the distended veins on the man’s forehead, Long Yi quickly took over, fearing that those swollen veins might burst open at any moment.

"Catch it." Long Yi took the stone ball and tossed it back to Ruosha behind him. She caught it effortlessly and then made a funny face at the towering figure, mimicking Xiao Zi’s mannerisms.

She certainly has picked up some bad habits!

"You okay?" Long Yi asked concernedly, worried the big man might suddenly collapse.

"I’m... I’m fine... this weight... is ...is nothing!" The hefty figure swayed a bit, and the young companion quickly stepped forward to steady him.

"Well... We’ll talk some other time. Gotta go..." The young man said awkwardly, then quickened his pace, supporting his burly comrade, and moved on.

Long Yi scratched his head in place. He’d seen it twice now, and each time it left abruptly. It’s said to be fate, but this fate felt a bit weak.

Finally, the boulder was taken back to camp. Even the dwarves couldn’t forge this object, so Long Yi didn’t plan to waste time on it. He took out the Giant’s Tablet and the Giant’s Scepter, intending to use these cheats to help Ruosha craft this weapon.

Isrile, who rushed over upon hearing this, also wanted to challenge the weight. Unexpectedly, to everyone’s surprise, Isrile didn’t lift it with ease. Instead, she barely managed to hoist it up!

Long Yi could only shake his head in the dark. After all, Isrile was powerful in her main body, but this avatar was just a human body. No matter how strong, there were always limitations. Ruosha, on the other hand, was different. Her body was of a Tiger Whale Warrior!

The failed Isrile could only reluctantly accept the outcome.

"Even so, don’t think you’ll ever be the boss around here!" Isrile pointed at Ruosha and shouted.

"Humph, from now on, this will be my territory! Stand back!" Ruosha, the authentic lolita, put her hands on her hips and shouted back at Isrile.

Did these two think this was some gangland turf war?

The Giant’s Tablet opened, and the power of the giant had just been injected into it when a line of words immediately appeared.

Giant weapon detected.

Variable Mass Asteroid Impact Core.

Giant!

Weapon!

These words were a blast from the past!

Could it be that I’ve struck gold?

Open entry.

Variable Mass Asteroid Impact Core: A space weapon developed specifically by the giants for exploring the universe, to prevent spaceships from being destroyed by high mass asteroid impacts. This type of weapon can change its own mass within a certain range to destroy different asteroids. Its shell is refined from an alloy of Demon Abyss iron liquid and Fine Gold, with an energy Shock Core inside. When subjected to a violent impact, it creates a secondary shockwave, which can destroy most asteroids with a diameter less than one thousand kilometers.

One thousand kilometers!

With one hit, it could shatter a third of the moon!

This weapon... is too terrifying, right!

Long Yi considered the corresponding knowledge in his head and finally came to a terrifying conclusion. This ’Variable Mass Asteroid Impact Core,’ if used under the right conditions, could practically destroy a country!

Long Yi’s heart started to race. Could the biggest cheat code be here? Was it time to say goodbye to the Black Dragon Empire? Come on! Let him be the sinner of history!

Long Yi excitedly found information about how to use the Impact Core on the tablet. Then, an excited expression froze on his face.

Yes, in simple terms, this core could indeed destroy the Black Dragon Empire. But first, it needed to meet several conditions.

First of all, you needed a cannon designed specifically for shooting at asteroids. Second, because ordinary giant ships couldn’t withstand the recoil force generated by this high mass object, the cannon was usually set up on a space anchor point. So, Long Yi also needed a space rivet gun. And once both of these items were in place, the energy required to fire the cannon was the Ghost Energy, an energy that Long Yi had never heard of before. Supposedly, it came from a particular alien species the giants had visited. The giants helped them defeat an insectoid invasion, so they gave the Ghost Energy to the giants as a gift. The Ghost Energy would launch the Impact Core at 0.618 times the speed of light, directly breaking through the crust of the asteroid.

Of course, even when everything was ready, the Shock Core inside the warhead needed Kela Particles to activate it. Only then could it generate a devastating secondary shockwave after hitting, rather than just piercing the asteroid.

All this was to tell Long Yi, do you want to cheat directly? In his dreams!

"Alright, let’s discuss how to turn this thing into an anchor instead." Long Yi said, scratching his head.

The terrifying descriptions astounded every girl present. The sheer power of the giants evoked an unreal feeling in everyone.

However, Long Yi was quite curious. Why did this Impact Core fall from the sky like a meteorite?

If the giants wanted to destroy the Human Realm, it would have been gone long ago. Could it be that the core fell from space after shattering an asteroid?

"Maybe we should keep it. We can find some other materials for Sister Ruosha. This core is too valuable." Ai Lin suggested, staring at the round object on the ground that seemed to be constantly sinking.

"Yes, I think we should replace it." Suolin agreed. It would be too wasteful to turn such a shocking object into an anchor.

"Hmm... I also feel that using it to make a weapon for me seems a bit wasteful." The authentic lolita towered, Ruosha, nodded, whispering softly.

"Hahaha, don’t worry. This object is currently of no use to us. If we truly mastered the energy to fire this projectile, we wouldn’t need it anymore." Long Yi laughed.

The fact was, if Long Yi had the power to use the Impact Core, then the technology behind that power would be enough to let him roam the universe. Who needed this ominous core?

The exterior shell of this Impact Core was a refined alloy of Demon Abyss iron and Fine Gold. Demon Abyss iron, of course, was a specialty of Bajie’s homeland. Bajie’s Dragon Breath was incomplete Demon Abyss iron liquid. The Giants used the pure iron liquid from the actual Demon Abyss, mixed with an exact ratio of Fine Gold to create an incredibly strong and heavy material. Basically, re-melting and reforming this material was almost impossible. The giants, of course, would have used the Giant’s Scepter to forge it at the atomic level. (To Be Continued.
