A gravitational wave of 10G instantly engulfed the area, pressing down on everything. Even the flow of blood and sweat accelerated as they hit the ground. Everyone within a 30-meter radius had to strain to resist the force. Some collapsed unconscious, and even the guns pointed at the enemy dipped toward the earth, making it nearly impossible to lift and shoot.A fully-powered P2 level 28 could wipe out an entire battalion lacking heavy artillery.Fortunately, the soldiers at Hope Town had been frequently trained in a special facility centered around the P2 level 25’s power, giving them a certain level of resistance. They all took a deep breath and braced themselves. Jarred and Memphis simultaneously raised their hands and shouted:"Break!"Their third-tier Gravity Manipulation skills unleashed waves of counter-pressure.The 10G amplification from the Strength Type was neutralized, allowing the humans to regain some of their mobility. Memphis quickly shouted:"Osiris, stop that bomb!"
This was a zombie that was powerful in every aspect, with no enemy capable of challenging it, whether in close or long-range combat. Just this single P2 level 28 was enough to hold off over 100 Superhumans. No matter how the 300 fighters attacked, if this monster managed to break through, it would result in a real massacre.Of course, for all its omnipotence, it wasn’t without weaknesses.Fighting something so powerful was both difficult and simple. The key was to find something with a stronger energy frequency than it had—anti-tank rounds.The Strength Type might be formidable, but the energy frequency of anti-tank rounds surpassed this beast. It
Outside the battlefield, Memphis was fully focused on controlling his eight ice puppets to slaughter zombies and attract their firepower when he suddenly frowned. Why were the zombies gathering in greater numbers, becoming more frenzied with each passing moment?Although he had no clue what was happening on the other side, the intensity of the monsters' attacks kept increasing, putting more pressure on humanity. Memphis was forced to order the firing of demon-slaying artillery shells along with regular artillery to "scare" M2 into retreating for defense, continuing the revolving battles with their tactical maneuvers.But that pig dared not to retreat. Instead, it sent more Level 9 regular zombies to intensify the attack on humans, which made Memphis feel even more anxious and confused. He had no choice but to order the launch of three PG-9V shells simultaneously, hoping to frighten M2 back into the expected course.After the three shells exploded and the extreme shockwaves and pressur
The Manipulation Type was both enraged and terrified by the three intruders attempting to breach its defenses. One was strong enough to tear through the horde of lower-level zombies, another was fast enough to dodge everything and rush forward, and the last could vanish and reappear at will. It wanted to eliminate all three, but they were too far apart, and its Soul Suppression attack couldn’t cover them all at once. So, it decided to target the weakest one first.As Wylie advanced, the level 3 Soul Guard ring on his hand lit up. He realized he had been targeted and immediately activated the first layer of his level 3 Substitute ring. A figure identical to Wylie appeared but was instantly crushed, allowing Wylie to use his speed—one of the fastest in Hope Town—to escape far from his previous position. He then created a second substitute and continued his retreat.“Oeeeee…”Having failed against the slippery first target, the Manipulation Type shifted its focus to the brute with immens
Black blood trickled down from above, forming small streams, and within those streams were severed limbs, sticky brain matter, decaying eyeballs, and pieces of torn flesh and dismembered organs. A few birds, whose species couldn't be identified, circled above or perched at a distance, watching as if waiting for the end of the ordeal, ready to swoop down and feast on the lavish banquet.When war erupts, many stand to benefit, even those who have no part in it—those who don’t fight or exert any effort, simply standing by patiently, waiting...At the entrance of the cave, nine Defense Type zombies, led by an S2 Level 28, stood guard. Nearby, the body of an S2 Level 26 zombie lay smashed to bits—these were the last of the zombies remaining on this hill. The anti-tank rounds were truly devastating, but these monsters were even more terrifying. A total of 12 rounds, including PG-9V, OG-15V, and over 30 PG-2 HEAT shells, had been fired here. Six of those shells had the demon-slaying feature,
The only chance he had would be to weaken it through multiple strikes, slowly wiping away the concentric circles on its body. Thus, using the creature’s own energy to destroy it was the most effective method.Using "the enemy’s energy" to kill the enemy would always be more efficient than using "external energy."Because the power of the Soul Suppression attack was drawn from the enemy forces themselves, it shared an inherent connection with them, causing less disruption and sensitivity. Thus, the two commands Memphis had issued earlier would be executed precisely."Who would suspect that their own attack dog would suddenly turn around and bite the
Wylie, of course, didn’t have Jarred's power, but he had speed. He continually dashed back and forth, baiting the zombies to chase him in circles. Occasionally, he’d launch a sneak attack, taking down a random zombie and causing chaos around the outer perimeter, creating an opening for Jarred and Memphis to act.Inside the cave, as Memphis lunged in with Ice Phantom, he quickly used his frost energy to seal off the entrance. He then released a healing aura over himself, jumping swiftly next to the level 28 M2.A temporary ice servant was created, which then bent down, grasping the Manipulation Type by the neck, capturing this dangerous zombie alive.Memphis finally exhaled, taking a deep breath, his eyes narrowed as he looked at the M2 calmly and asked:"Have you ever heard the system notification sound?"The level 28 Manipulation Type, beyond its ability to control zombie hordes and relatively strong psychic attacks, was physically quite weak. With a bit of strength, the ice servant
Memphis devised numerous strategies to use this zombie, but none were feasible for now. Keeping this creature “alive” was incredibly challenging, requiring constant Soul Suppression to maintain it in a semi-unconscious state, weakening it continuously—even strangling it—a task nearly impossible in the current situation."So then, prepare to die."Unable to capture it, he had to kill it. He directed the ice minion to drag the Level 28 M2 outside, slowly retrieving layer upon layer of the icy seal blocking the cave entrance. Once all zombies had been held off by Jarred and Wylie, Memphis considered the battle won.He withdrew the last ice layer, revealing Jarred outside with seven fully armored Defense Types engaged in fierce combat. These creatures, covered in hard exoskeletons, had weak attack power but formidable defense. The seven Shield-2s could only be pounded down by Little Silent, with no chance to counterattack.The injured Manipulation Type’s command over the zombie horde was
