Then Let's Bear It Together!

Above the sky.

Located atop a shimmering white disc, the [Invincible Turret] seemed to be rooted to the disc, its entire body radiating a soft white light. It appeared less ferocious and more sacred and gentle.

However, its power has undergone a qualitative leap!

"Buzz--"

Its cannon began to charge again, but this time it wasn't firing more shells; instead, it focused a beam of light!

Even before it was fired, one could feel the terrifying power contained within the cannon from the constantly rippling muzzle in space!

Ian couldn't wait to see its power!

He saw the densely packed, pitch-black monsters, seemingly like zombies, trying to climb over their companions and form a human pyramid towards him. His eyes turned cold, and he waved his hand dismissively.

"Planet Buster, fire!"

In an instant.

A beam of light descended from the sky, radiating immense energy.

With just one strike, the pitch-black monster, which had already piled up to be nearly tens of meters tall, was struck head-on by the energy beam!

This time, they didn't even have time to let out a scream before turning into dust.

At least 50% of them were destroyed in an instant.

"Throat!"

The remaining monsters also emitted eerie screams and scattered in fear.

"Looks like these guys aren't entirely without fear after all."

Ian sneered as he watched them dodge, but at that moment, Kim, standing to the side, looked rather serious.

"Ian, look closely, those guys are absorbing the power of light..."

"They... seem to be splitting..."

Upon hearing Kim's words, Ian's expression changed slightly, and he immediately looked in the direction Kim was pointing.

Really...

He also noticed that some monsters shrouded in black mist, possibly affected by the beam of light, had almost half their bodies melted away and were stuck to the ground.

However, it seemed to struggle and twist its body, and in a short while, it became two monsters.

This scene gave Ian the creeps.

He said that no matter how much he fought, the number of monsters kept increasing...

So this monster really can split!

Of course, with the [Anywhere Door] and many life-saving gadgets, Ian wasn't worried that he and Kim would be unable to escape from here.

However... this monster is indeed troublesome; it's truly impossible to kill it.

"You said that initially there weren't many of these monsters..."

Ian gasped, somewhat astonished.

If that's the case, then my actions just now...

Forehead...

Probably not.

Ian scratched his head, unwilling to admit that he was the one who turned the monsters into such a large number.

However, he wasn't entirely helpless against these splitting monsters before him.

Since a direct assault won't work, let's use strategy!

He removed the [Invincible Turret], and the energy that had previously filled the turret transformed back into light bracelets, which landed on his wrist.

"Since this doesn't work... let me think of what other tools I can use to deal with these guys..."

Ian looked thoughtful as he calmly observed the group of dark monsters below.

After a long pause, he finally asked Jin, who was standing to the side.

"Jin, do these guys have no special abilities other than the ability to split themselves?"

"It doesn't seem... very strong..."

Jin nodded; he had been observing for quite some time.

As Ian said, so far, these monsters shrouded in dark mist have only launched frantic attacks as if they possess a collective consciousness.

They didn't display any special abilities, except for their ability to absorb light, which seemed to be the driving force behind all their power.

They are desperately trying to steal all the light.

However, the offensive power they exhibit is actually not very strong.

What is alarming is that the opponent's body, which is covered by a layer of viscous, pitch-black liquid within the black mist, has an unknown function but seems to be related to absorbing light sources.

Then there's that long, sharp claw engraved with "divine runes," the extent of which remains unknown.

It's unlikely that those "divine inscriptions" were completely useless.

Upon hearing Kim's words, Ian nodded, rested his hand on his chin, and his eyes flashed slightly.

"Then... let's see just how ugly these things are!"

"Let's go down!"

As Ian spoke, he manipulated the disc to fly downwards. Kim's expression stiffened slightly, and he quickly glanced at Ian a few more times, fearing that the other party was going to take him with him into the terrifying horde of dark monsters.

When he was a few meters off the ground, Ian stopped again.

Then, a seemingly ordinary-looking item, the [Gravity Regulator], is summoned from the Four-Dimensional Space.

Previously, Ian had used this device for training purposes with Nobunaga Uvogin.

"This is?"

Kim looked puzzled, not understanding why Ian had suddenly pulled out something that looked like a weighing scale.

Ian smiled and explained softly.

"This is a [Gravity Regulator], which wasn't originally very useful..."

"However, with the Seat of Light, we could try evolving it and see how it can suppress these monsters..."

"Suppression?"

An expression of disbelief crossed Jin's face.

Ian nodded and smiled.

"Watch me!"

"Be careful, Jin, don't embarrass yourself later!"

He placed the [Gravity Regulator] on the disc at his feet, and then, in the same manner, poured a large amount of abundant solar energy into the device.

The [Gravity Regulator] allows you to adjust the gravity using a knob, but it requires a closed space.

After Ian and King explored the Ruins, they discovered that it indeed appears to be a sealed space.

It's not a special location on the Dark Continent, but we also don't know how the sun in the sky was formed.

I didn't have time to think it through.

After confirming that the [Gravity Regulator] was working, Ian immediately gave it a sharp twist!

Now that it's been infused with a huge amount of energy, its function is far more than just adjusting gravity tenfold!

Ian slowly lowered the disc, then stared intently at the black mist monsters trying to approach him.

"Buzz--"

The next moment, they fell rapidly with twenty times the force of gravity.

The space surrounding the Ruins was now teetering on the brink of collapse, and even Ian and King were flushed and struggling to breathe.

Kim was horrified, never expecting that Ian would have a device that could adjust gravity.

Even they felt discomfort under this force.

Moreover, there were dark figures at the well opening below...

They didn't even have time to react; one by one, they collapsed to the ground with a thud, unable to move no matter how hard they tried.

Although everyone is bearing the pressure of gravity together.

However, Ian had the "Seat of Light" after all, and he casually flicked out two rings of light, one on King and the other wrapped around himself.

The next moment, they felt their bodies relax a bit.

These halos, from the inside out, from internal organs to muscles and nerves, are all assisting their strength. Essentially, they are still under pressure, but with the support of the power of light, they are able to balance this gravity.

But those dark monsters below don't enjoy these privileges.

Ian and Kim landed directly on the ground.

Their steps were normal, but at their feet, one after another, the black mist monsters lay dead on the ground. This time, there was no need to split them apart, since they hadn't been killed.

However, they as a whole were completely unable to move.

Ian looked at them, wanting to see what kind of monstrous face was hidden behind the black mist.
