"Gravity?"

Li Mude was stunned for a moment upon hearing this unfamiliar term, then erupted into even more arrogant laughter.

"Hahahaha! Did I hear that right? Gravity? What kind of nonsense is that? Is it your new martial soul?"

The spirit master officers behind him also burst into raucous laughter.

"Governor, I think this brat has been scared out of his wits and started babbling nonsense!"

"A piece of trash without even a single spirit ring dares to play tricks in front of us!"

"Exactly! Governor, stop wasting your breath on him and just order the siege! I'll be the first to charge up there and twist his head off to kick around like a ball!"

The jeers and mockery mingled together, filled with extreme contempt for Qin Feng, the "mortal."

In their eyes, this war was already over.

An ordinary person without spirit power, no matter how high he built the city walls, could not stop the footsteps of a spirit saint.

Salas stood behind the crowd, watching those idiots who were still laughing wildly, his body trembling slightly.

He wanted to run, but his feet felt as if they were nailed to the ground, unable to move.

He knew that when that madman brought out a new "toy," the show was about to begin.

On the city wall, Qin Feng turned a deaf ear to the mockery below.

He simply looked down at the silver-white metal disc in his hand.

On it was a circle of precise markings and a red button.

This was the Umbrella Corporation's latest individual concept weapon—the "G-1" Handheld Gravity Gradient Meter.

Its function was simple.

By releasing a special subspace wave, it forcibly modified the gravity parameters of the target area.

"Ignorance is the root of weakness and death."

Qin Feng said calmly, as if reading a verdict.

Then, he gently turned the dial on the disc from the preset "1G" to "10G."

Finally, his thumb pressed the red button.

"Hum—"

There was no light, no sound.

Only a ripple, invisible to the naked eye, spread out from that small disc like the palm of a god, gently covering the area at the very front of the enemy formation.

The next second.

A scene that made everyone's blood run cold occurred!

"Ah! My legs!"

"What's going on? My feet are sinking into the ground!"

"Help! The ground... the ground has turned soft!!"

Piercing screams instantly replaced the previous wild laughter!

They saw that at the very front of the enemy formation, the hundreds of elite soldiers and low-level spirit masters making up the vanguard suddenly found the ground beneath them turning from solid earth into a soft swamp in an instant!

Their bodies were pressed hard against the ground as if by an invisible giant hand!

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

Their heavy iron armor, instead of providing protection, became the most lethal burden!

Soldiers sank one after another, the hard earth beneath their feet becoming as fragile as tofu.

In just a few seconds.

Those hundreds of elite soldiers, along with their warhorses, were all waist-deep in the ground, unable to move!

They struggled frantically, only to find their bodies had become thousands of pounds heavy, making it incredibly difficult even to lift an arm!

The entire battlefield fell into an eerie silence.

Everyone looked as if they had been hit by a binding spell, staring blankly at the "human wheat field" in front of them.

The wild laughter on Li Mude's face froze completely.

The Armored Earth Dragon beneath him let out an uneasy low growl, its four thick claws also sinking slightly into the ground.

"What... what kind of sorcery is this?!" Li Mude's voice trembled, the fat on his face shaking uncontrollably.

An earth-type spirit skill?

No!

There was no spirit power fluctuation at all!

Moreover, even a top-tier earth-type control spirit skill could not cause such a bizarre change to such a large area of ground in an instant!

"I told you, this is physics."

Qin Feng's voice, sounding like a devil's whisper, came through the loudspeaker once again.

"I've merely increased the gravity of the ground beneath your feet by tenfold."

"By the way, your body weight has also increased tenfold."

"How does it feel? Governor Li?"

Ten times the gravity?!

Li Mude's brain went "buzz" and turned completely blank.

He finally understood why those soldiers had sunk into the ground!

It wasn't that the ground had become soft!

It was that they themselves had become too heavy!

So heavy that even the earth could no longer support them!

"Devil... you are a devil!!" a Soul Elder officer trapped at the front of the formation let out a desperate roar.

He tried to mobilize his soul power to pull himself out of the ground.

However, under ten times the gravity, the circulation of soul power within his body became incredibly sluggish; every attempt to move it felt like walking while carrying a massive mountain!

His pathetic amount of soul power was simply no match for this terrifying force emanating from the entire planet!

"All troops! All troops, retreat!!"

Li Mude finally snapped out of his shock, screaming like a madman as he tried to turn his mount around to flee.

"Want to leave?"

A cruel arc curled at the corners of Qin Feng's mouth.

"Did I give you permission?"

On the Gravity Gradient Meter in his hand, he pressed the red button once again.

This time, he did not adjust the dial.

Instead, he activated a different mode.

[Gravity Pulse Mode, activated.]

"Hum—hum—hum—"

A more terrifying, invisible force began to vibrate frantically across that area at an extremely high frequency!

The soldiers and warhorses trapped in place felt an irresistible, immense force that would, at one moment, press them toward the center of the earth, and at the next, yank them violently upward!

"Crack! Crack!"

That was the sound of bones snapping!

Under the repeated torture of this pressing and pulling, their bodies were like lumps of clay being kneaded back and forth by a pair of invisible hands!

Blood gushed out frantically from their noses and mouths, and from the gaps in their armor!

In just a short dozen seconds.

Those hundreds of elite soldiers had turned into piles of bloody, mangled flesh sunken into the mud under this silent torture!

They couldn't even let out a single scream!

"Ugh—"

The soldiers in the rear ranks, seeing this hellish scene, could no longer hold it back and vomited on the spot.

Morale collapsed completely at this moment!

Fear, like the most terrifying plague, spread wildly among the remaining four thousand-plus soldiers!

They threw away their weapons, crying and screaming as they fled backward like madmen, wishing only that their parents had given them two more legs!

The army was routed like a collapsing mountain!

Li Mude stared blankly at the scene before him; the Armored Earth Dragon beneath him was already paralyzed with fear, leaking excrement and urine.

In his mind, only that sentence from Qin Feng echoed frantically.

"What do you have to fight me with?"

Yes.

What was there to fight with?

With soul rings?

In the face of someone who could modify the laws of heaven and earth at will using "physics," those seven rings he was so proud of were worth nothing!

"No... don't kill me... I surrender! I surrender!!"

Li Mude rolled off the dragon's back, scrambling to his knees on the ground, kowtowing frantically toward the direction of the city wall to beg for mercy.

Qin Feng watched this scene coldly, as if looking at an ant being crushed to death.

He turned off the Gravity Gradient Meter, and the gravity in that area returned to normal.

However, apart from the blood-soaked mud and twisted scrap metal covering the ground, there were no living creatures left.

He picked up the walkie-talkie and issued an order to Grey Wolf in a tone devoid of any emotion.

"Brother Wolf, send out the cleaning robots to clear the battlefield."

"Additionally, notify the fourth underground level."

Qin Feng's gaze fell upon the obese figure kneeling and begging for mercy, his voice icy.

"The doctor's laboratory seems to be missing a sufficiently obese test subject to evaluate 'fat energy conversion efficiency'."

"Bring that man named Li Mude back alive."
