Chapter 91: End!

Just as the dark‑green energy ball, brimming with heaven‑shattering, earth‑destroying power, was about to erupt from the Abyss Terror Crocodile's mouth.

Hum——!

An invisible yet heavy surge, as if it could collapse heaven and earth, centered on the Black Tortoise, suddenly spread.

A hundred‑fold gravity field.

"Huh……?"

The Abyss Terror Crocodile's massive body stiffened abruptly, and the energy ball condensed to the extreme in its mouth also stalled.

In its none‑too‑bright mind, for the first time the emotion of doubt surfaced.

"What happened?"

"Why…… has my body suddenly become so heavy?"

However, with its intelligence it probably couldn't figure out why.

"Next second!"

"Boom——!!!!!!"

In the astonished gaze of everyone, the Abyss Terror Crocodile hovering in mid‑air stalled, then crashed heavily back into Tai Lake!

The tremendous impact kicked up a hundred‑meter wave, making the whole of Tai Lake shudder violently.

"Gah……gagang……"

A grating sound of bones breaking came from beneath the water.

The Abyss Terror Crocodile's thick bony armor, tough enough to withstand heavy artillery, began to crack inch by inch under the hundred‑fold gravity's crush.

"Roar——!!!!"

Unprecedented agony made it unleash a heart‑rending howl!

The Abyss Terror Crocodile began to struggle madly, trying to shake off this terrifying gravity.

Its thick limbs burst with terrifying power, churning Tai Lake into chaos.

Yet it was all in vain.

Under the absolute suppression of the hundred‑fold gravity, the crocodile's struggling only worsened its bodily collapse.

This scene plunged the spectators watching from within Xuanwu City once again into dead silence.

If the earlier scene of the Black Tortoise blocking a blow and shattering its fangs was shocking, then now this spectacle, like toying with ants, left them with nothing but fear.

"Gra……gravity control……"

If anyone on the scene understood this best, it was undoubtedly Sun Ba; at this moment his usually arrogant face was filled with astonishment.

"How…… how is this possible? This Black Tortoise can actually control gravity! And…… it's area‑wide!"

His breathing became ragged, his eyes flashing with near‑mad light.

Unlike Sun Ba's astonishment, Qian Wanjin's bulky body trembled uncontrollably, cold sweat streaming down his oily cheeks.

"I…… I fuck…… what the hell have I done……"

Qian Wanjin's lips quivered, his teeth chattering uncontrollably, making a "kek‑kek" sound.

"Fear!"

"Unprecedented fear!"

He finally realized that his so‑called schemes, those self‑important probes, were utterly laughable and ignorant before his opponent.

That wasn't probing—it was suicide!

"Chen Bo……"

He immediately lowered his voice to the equally pale‑faced chief aide beside him and said:

"Quick…… hurry and have Shadow stand down! Make sure you're not spotted!"

Chen Bo snapped out of it, then slipped quietly away from the crowd toward where Shadow was.

Now is no time to space out; stopping Shadow from acting is paramount, otherwise once Shadow moves the consequences will be dire!

Qian Wanjin thought his little move was covert, but he hadn't realized it had already been noticed.

"Not bad!"

Lin Yue paid it no heed.

As long as Qian Wanjin didn't actually strike at him, Lin Yue wouldn't bother him; after all, killing Qian Wanjin would cause considerable trouble later.

For now, this is best!

By the shores of Tai Lake, the one‑sided massacre continued.

Lin Yue seemed unsatisfied with merely using gravity to suppress the Abyss Terror Crocodile at the lake bottom.

"Black Tortoise, 【All Things Return to the Ruins】."

He issued the command again.

"Rumble——"

The next second, the dark‑green lake water, together with the thick silt and rocks on the lakebed, as if given life, surged wildly toward the Abyss Terror Crocodile's body, gathering, coiling, and crushing it!

In an instant, a massive cage imprisoned the huge beast!

"Roar——!!!"

The Abyss Terror Crocodile let out an even more shrill howl.

It could feel that the cage not only restrained its movement but was also slowly contracting inward!

The hundred‑fold gravity's crush!

The All Things Return to the Ruins' strangling!

Under the double assault, its proud sturdy bony armor was being crushed inch by inch, and its internal organs were being squeezed and deformed bit by bit!

The Abyss Terror Crocodile sensed a death threat for the first time—something even the Three Major Shelters a year ago had never given it.

At that time, the Abyss Terror Crocodile, although already seriously injured, simply did not believe that human weapons could kill it.

As it had expected, it escaped easily.

But now it began to regret.

It regretted why it had provoked this 'fellow'.

However, in this world, there is no regret medicine to take.

Lin Yue watched the Abyss Terror Crocodile frantically struggling in the cage, his eyes devoid of any pity.

For such a monster that only brings destruction and death, he would show no mercy.

"Black Tortoise, it's time to end this!"

"Roar——!!!!!"

Black Tortoise let out a roar that shook heaven and earth, its massive body, as huge as a mountain, moved for the first time!

It slowly raised one of its forelimbs.

That forelimb, larger than a skyscraper, blotted out the sky and cast a huge shadow on the ground!

Then, with terrifying power enough to crush everything, it fiercely stomped down toward the huge cage in the lake's center!

At that moment, time seemed to slow down.

Everyone who witnessed this scene instinctively held their breath.

There was no earth-shattering roar.

Nor was there a world-destroying explosion.

When Black Tortoise's forelimb fell, everything fell into silence.

The sturdy stone cage, together with the Abyss Terror Crocodile inside that had once left the Three Major Shelters helpless, were completely erased from this world by that single stomp...

The lake water surged back, filling the huge void.

The originally nauseating dark green also rapidly faded at a visible speed, restoring clarity.

【Ding! Absorbed scattered energy, gained 1432 energy points!】

【Ding! Detected a level‑4 Energy Crystal core, gained energy points!】

【Ding! Total energy points absorbed this time: points!】

【Current total energy points: /!】

Watching the system panel show an increase of over ten thousand energy points, Lin Yue's face finally showed a hint of a satisfied smile.

Lin Yue was satisfied, but the leader of the Three Major Shelters was now frightened!

Especially Qian Wanjin, although his shadow did not act, having witnessed this almost mythical method, he could not guarantee that his small moves had not been noticed by Lin Yue!
