Chapter 1682: Rule Dissociation

His electromagnetic rule was not only not replaced, but perfectly fused with repulsion!

Although he noticed the final note, the system said his rank was harder to promote, but Lin An could also think that this was probably because his abilities were too mixed, causing it!

It doesn't matter; if it's hard to promote, then it's hard to promote—his combat power has genuinely increased!

In other words, other Fifth Stage beings need level 100 to be considered Fifth Stage, while he, Lin An, needs level 1000 to be considered Fifth Stage.

Such things, although somewhat regrettable, Lin An has long been accustomed to.

"680% rule amplification! Just absorbing 10% gives this much; if I finish off those Fifth Stage outside, wouldn't that be at least sixty times the rule amplification!?"

Feeling the sudden depletion of rule power within his body, Lin An took a deep breath, only feeling that this enhancement came too violently.

He could feel that if he could fill the increased limit, his total rule amount would probably be enough to rival a high-level Fourth Stage!

After a few more times, regardless of how large the quality gap is with Fourth Stage Peak and Fifth Stage, at least in quantity he can keep up!

Moreover, Lin An also noticed the effect of atomic repulsion.

"My own spacing increased 1030 times? Is this based on my physique?"

"Increased spacing... does that mean becoming larger?"

"After becoming larger, the limit increases another 1030%... added together that's... 106 times!?"

After barely needing any thought to arrive at that number, Lin An was startled.

Although it sounds normal that the energy storage capacity increases after enlargement, if it really increases that much, Lin An dares not imagine what form he would take.

Subconsciously, he seemed to see himself enlarged a hundred times, his whole body filled with energy in an explosive scene.

"Structural expansion caused by repulsion, can it be matched?? used?"

"I feel that this repulsion is actually the external manifestation of the strong and weak nuclear forces..."

"Otherwise, there's no reason for it to be this strong."

Suppressing that somewhat bizarre scene in his mind, Lin An's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but ponder what repulsion actually is.

He had not never enlarged before in battle, but back then enlarging merely meant better utilization of bodily strength, with a slightly larger attack range; the increase in strength was almost zero.

But looking at the repulsion explanation, it's different.

Under the repulsion rule, when he enlarges again, everything becomes "big".

Even, even his own atomic spacing becomes larger? Cells also become larger?

Not really able to understand what principle this rule is based on, Lin An thought for a few seconds and then stopped thinking further.

Such things involving physical rules are not something he can figure out in a short time. What's more important now is to consider how to convert the two newly gained abilities into combat power!

"Anti-gravity rule, this feels useless.. I also had this ability before."

"But can it reduce the gravity effect I receive?"

"102 times, roughly able to cancel out the current..."

He jumped in place.

Lin An tentatively exerted force with his legs, directly leaping up at the exchange point.

"Whoosh!"

One jump almost leapt out of the fortress core.

As expected, after a few more speed bounces, he happily discovered that the suppressive effect on him had indeed greatly decreased!

Along with his speed, it increased from originally thirty times the speed of sound, as slow as a snail, to over sixty times!

Although still not comparable to those Fifth Stage, if he expends a bit more mental power, he can fully recover his peak speed and no longer be suppressed by this battlefield!

No, it should be said that speed is not restricted, but power is still affected.

"A hundred times the speed of sound is still useful in close-quarters combat in a small range!"

"If I could obtain another spatial rule, then ordinary Fifth Stage beings, perhaps I wouldn't need to fear them!"

The gloom in his heart was mostly dispelled.

A flash of brutality flickered in Lin An's eyes.

As a peak of the Body System, frankly, his attributes in all aspects actually far surpass most Fifth Stage beings.

After devouring an entire civilization, although his rank is low, he is truly not weak!

Before him, many of those Fifth Stage beings' physiques are as weak as little chicks!

His disadvantage lies in being unable to hit his opponent, essentially having no chance to fight!

Just like the Human-Insect Fifth Stage he encountered before!

If that worm couldn't trap him, how could Lin An possibly be almost easily trapped to death like an ant!?

Really, if he lets Lin An rush to his front, he can blow up the opponent's dog head with a single punch!

In the Body System, in combat and slaughter, he is the strongest of his level!

"The boost to combat power from anti-gravity is probably just this much."

"Using it on enemies feels not very meaningful. Unless it's a Body System vs. Body System fight, I could make the opponent lose foothold?"

"What a pity, anti-gravity can't be converted into gravity; otherwise, pressing down with several billion tons of gravity, combined with the battlefield's suppression, might directly crush a large batch of Fifth Stage!"

After quickly considering the effects of the anti-gravity ability, Lin An somewhat regretfully stopped researching it.

This ability, he had already mastered it before; the improvement ratio is still decent, but its role in combat is still limited.

In short, this is just an auxiliary ability.

Having made up his mind, Lin An simply issued another command.

One side having Hei Di and others send in another Fifth Stage, while he hurriedly studies other effects of repulsion.

"Repulsion dissociation? Or perhaps structural dissociation?"

Looking at the explanation in the repulsion rule, Lin An, lost in thought, felt out a diamond the size of a human head from his ring.

According to the rule explanation, using repulsion on other targets can cause their internal parts to mutually repel, resulting in a disintegration effect.

Just hearing it, Lin An felt it was somewhat strange.

"Self-repelling oneself? What would that be like?"

"Calculating damage based on physique attributes? Would those with low physique shatter directly?"

Gripping the diamond in his hand, Lin An instantly activated the repulsive force rule.

All he heard was a 'bang' as it exploded and shattered.

The giant diamond in his hand burst apart like heavenly maidens scattering flowers, the fragmentation so fine it resembled tiny specks of light, drifting down in his palm.

At a glance, it actually had a kind of broken beauty.

"It feels kind of interesting..."

Fiddling with the ring, Lin An watched the diamond dust floating all around, thought for a moment, then took out a lump of osmium from the ring.

Osmium, this substance has extremely high density, ranking as the densest material on Earth.

It was also something he casually exchanged for fun at the prestige shop— a few points could get him several tons, including diamonds, gold, and the like, which Lin An would swap on the spot as 'currency' just in case.

"The dissociation effect is pretty good."

"The diamond's structure is so tight, it shattered instantly."

"I just don't know if it works that well against Fifth Stage."

A gray light flashed in his hand; with the idea of testing, Lin An instantly infused the repulsive force rule into the osmium.

He didn't hold much hope.

As the hardest metallic element on Earth, osmium's density is comparable to the pressure inside a red dwarf star.

But it was completely different from what Lin An had imagined.

He saw the silver-brown osmium in his hand suddenly half-boil, with a bang it exploded in his palm and turned into a clump of gaseous metal cloud.

"Can even osmium be dissociated instantly?"

He was slightly taken aback.

Lin An eyed the metal cloud floating before him, and his heart suddenly pounded.

"The density of this stuff is about on par with a Fourth Stage Body System... if we calculate it that way..."

Lin An raised his brow, his eyes instantly blazing.

This repulsive force dissociation attack method simply doesn't belong to the energy type!

Those Fifth Stage physiques aren't that strong; if they could also be dissociated, wouldn't it be kill one per second?

This rule-based attack effect can rival a Supernatural Incident!

No way?

Surely it can't really be done!?

Instinctively, Lin An hurriedly looked down, trying to find a relatively intact piece of flesh.

But after a moment, he helplessly discovered that the earlier Fifth Stage had died, leaving not even scraps.

The desire to conduct an experiment had never been so urgent.

At this moment, Lin An felt like a mad scientist doctor, wishing he could immediately seize a Fifth Stage for a human experiment!

Fortunately, he didn't have to urge Hei Di and the others to hurry and send people in.

A respectful report sounded, and instantly rang out.

"Lin Emperor, I've brought these prisoners over."

"You want to... interrogate them for some information? I, perhaps, can lend a hand."

Before Lin An's expression could even shift, he saw the respectful Hei Di standing outside the door; though separated by a stone gate, he could see Lin An just as clearly, his gaze deep as he looked in.
