During his battle against Ye Kong, Fang Ze quickly picked up the movement trick he used and utilized it, thus gaining himself the upper hand.
Without wasting time for words, Fang Ze's Disasforce surged forward and filled Ye Kong's body from the inside. With a battle like this, he couldn't hold back, but he at least kept the body in a recognizable state.
"Thank you" Ye Kong slowly uttered these words, his body started to crumble on its own, his tone suggested that he felt released, but also like his scheme had been accomplished.
Ye Kong's Disasforce started to twist and left his body, causing the surrounding structures and buildings to collapse. This was the result of an Authority Holder's death, an abrupt trigger of the Authority. If there were no surprises, then Ye Kong could be confirmed dead.
However, as they observed it, they found that the boiling Disasforce didn't disappear and instead started to gather in the air. Tiny beads of metal came out from Ye Kong's body following the flow of Disasforce, converged and formed a metallic polyhedron.
With the metallic polyhedron as its base, the Disasforce started to form the visage of a monster, the Disasforce first manifested as broken fragments of varying sizes and shapes, seemingly trying to shape itself into a complete form. But whenever a form was about to manifest, the fragments would come apart and shatter into tiny beads once more.
The mere existence of this monster caused nothing but discomfort to an observer. Although Ye Kong's promotion of his Authority into [Order Collapse] had failed, some of the characteristics that would only manifest in such an Authority could be seen from this monster.
Fluctuations that seemed similar to Disasforce yet dissimilar to it at the same time started to spread into the surroundings. Anyone caught inside the fluctuation whose willpower wasn't powerful enough would be affected, completely losing their rationality with only the instinct to destroy left in their minds.
Thankfully, the Disasforce of the Authority Holders who faced this monster naturally gave off their own fluctuations to counteract this fluctuation that caused people to lose their minds.
…
[Hidden in the essence of life, the aura of lost ones, becomes a part of one's Origin, unlike that of humans, propagators of disasters]
"So, the true enemies have appeared?" standing in front of the Apocalypse Stone Tablet, Minister Chang sighed.
…
Ye Kong, or rather, the monster that originated from Ye Kong hovered in the air, it didn't seem to want to attack, nor want to move. Fang Ze's group had no way to predict any of its actions, as its sense of reasoning seemed to operate in completely different ways.
"Try attacking it" Fang Ze ordered, Liu Shi nodded and sent an arrow from her hand towards it.
As the arrow struck the monster's body created from Disasforce, the arrow shattered and collapsed into tiny beads that were absorbed into the monster's body, giving it a sense of solidity.
Before this, other than its core of a metallic polyhedron, the other fragments were made completely from Disasforce, aside from Authority Holders and those who practiced Negary's cultivation method, no one would be able to tell what it was.
Because of that, the monster that Ye Kong turned into only appeared as a hovering metallic polyhedron for normal people. Only after Liu Shi's arrow was shattered and absorbed into its body were normal people able to observe that there were fragments of 'something' constantly floating around the metallic polyhedron.
The fragments were moving in a completely random and structureless manner, or in a structure that was beyond human comprehension. Any normal person who witnessed this movement would abruptly feel their chests tightening, nausea, and a general sense of restlessness.
"That metallic core seems to be made from Disasforce material. The beads that manifested into it came out from Ye Kong's body" Fang Ze cautiously looked at the monster and quickly made his assessment: "I have reasons to believe that he somehow inserted Disasforce material into his body in order to awaken his soul abilities"
But then, why did he turn into such a monster?
Fang Ze had a solemn look on his face. As soon as he saw that monster, he felt a heavy sense of danger, accompanied by an unnatural sense of hatred as if that monster itself was an enemy that he had to destroy no matter what.
There was also a sense of duty in Fang Ze's mind telling him that he had to kill this monster. This sensation came out of nowhere, but it was deeply ingrained in Fang Ze's mind.
The fragmented body of the monster finally started to move, as the fragments scraped against one another, an empty nauseating sound started to echo out of nowhere. It was like the sound of sharp nails scratching a piece of glass, causing everyone to feel goosebumps all over their bodies.
The monster completely ignored the people around it and started to move towards the rubble on the ground. The monster's body absorbed every piece of rubble it found, turned them into a part of its body, it soon appeared as a monster made from countless broken rubble, dust, and sand.
The monster started to grow bigger and bigger, at the same time generating a greater suction force around its body. Fragments and broken things in its surroundings were actively being sucked towards it and absorbed to become a part of its body, like broken branches, rocks and gravel, severed limbs, scrap pieces of metals.
Like an incomplete embodiment of civilization, it constantly remade itself, then broke apart again, creating a bizarre cycle.
"Do we have a sniper with Disasforce material bullets?" watching the growing monster, Fang Ze felt it becoming more ominous and quickly asked.
[Codename Nightowl, reporting for duty] a few moments later, a man with a deep voice answered Fang Ze through his earpiece: [I'm at your excellency's 4 o'clock position, 200 meters away]
"Got it, I'm going to try to attack this monster, seize the chance and shoot at its metallic polyhedron core" Fang Ze ordered, then immediately charged towards the fragmented monster.
His Disasforce madly surged forward and clashed against the fragmented monster, causing the broken fragments to be thrown all around, then sucked back into the monster's body; the impact itself caused the monster's moving fragments to grate against one another even more, producing a more uncomfortable sound.
As he roared out loud, Fang Ze fully unleashed his Disasforce, his skin started to split from the pressure and caused his blood to flow, but he finally managed to sweep all the broken fragments away from the monster's body, revealing its inner metallic polyhedron core.
Hiding within a nearby ruined building, Nightowl took that chance to pull the trigger. The Disasforce material bullet traversed the 200-meter distance in the blink of an eye and accurately struck the metallic polyhedron.
Disasforce material by nature was very strong, not only did it have a high level of immunity to Disasforce, when forged into weapons or defensive items, it was also extremely sturdy. For example, Fang Ze's current clothing was even capable of blocking normal bullets.
However, even as sturdy as it was, this material had its limit, and when the metallic polyhedron was struck by a bullet that was made from the same Disasforce material, it shattered and broke into tiny pieces.
The hovering fragments of broken things all fell to the ground, the fragment-shaped Disasforce that manifested from the beginning slowly faded away as well.
"Is it dead?" Fang Ze was breathing heavily, this was the first time he had ever fully utilized his Disasforce, as he looked at the broken metallic polyhedron, his expression turned serious. His Disasforce surged forward and smashed the fragments, causing them to crumble to dust. An ominous feeling surfaced in Fang Ze's mind.
