Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 923 - 268: Light of Annihilation (2)

However, this near-collapse chaotic state did not truly cause the Totem Pole to collapse; it was rapidly recovering from its unrestricted and unrestrained spiritual energy state.

Chen Ming didn’t think further; he had to seize this opportunity.

The plasma in his hands coalesced and was constrained into the shape of a spear by the powerful magnetic field.

Directly releasing plasma would disperse its power.

By using the magnetic field to shape it and adding some restrictive material externally, the power of the plasma could be better harnessed.

The Insect Race muscles on Chen Ming’s body twisted into solid knots, using the massive physical strength to hurl the almost fully materialized Plasma Lance.

A continuous series of plasma explosions extended from Chen Ming’s lance trajectory to the front of the Totem Pole.

At the moment the Plasma Lance struck, it did not pass through as it did before.

The small amount of insect chitin Chen Ming used to restrict the Plasma Lance shattered upon impact.

The powerful explosion directly collapsed the laboratory’s passageway, burying the Totem Pole completely in debris.

It was evident that even a constrained spear-shaped plasma would dissipate greatly, reacting with the surrounding environment, causing the primary attack energy to decay.

However, the restrictions Chen Ming applied worked quite well; at least the explosive power concentrated near the Totem Pole.

Yet, before he could celebrate the power of this spear, he heard movement from within the ruins again.

All the metal structures on the collapsed laboratory ruins were drawn by a magnetic force, taking away most of the collapsed soil and reconstructing the bombed passage, revealing the nearly unscathed Totem Pole.

Only the limb that formed the torso had slight fracture marks, with no other damage visible.

Even on the charming face where the spear directly struck, not a scratch was left.

Chen Ming’s heart sank, and he once again gathered a Plasma Lance in his hand.

This time the plasma glow on the spear he gathered was even more dazzling than before.

However, as a brilliant light and series of explosive roars passed, the situation remained unchanged from before.

The effect of this spear was even less than the previous one.

His plasma could not kill this monster.

Moreover, the Totem Pole was swiftly adapting to its new electromagnetic force ability.

The chaotic fluctuations on its body had disappeared, and it could even interfere with Chen Ming’s plasma release to some extent.

Plasma was, in fact, an extension of magnetic field power, requiring additional assistance; pure magnetic fields cannot produce plasma.

But as part of plasma composition, interference with just magnetic fields was still achievable.

Moreover, An Wuping’s plasma was not spiritual energy but manually manufactured plasma by bodily organs.

This ordinary ability was at a disadvantage compared to spiritual abilities.

Not to mention, it was more akin to the two similar abilities.

Chen Ming tried to gather the spear again, yet this time the spear was not even as brilliant as the first one.

After the Totem Pole fully mastered the electromagnetic ability, An Wuping’s proxy capability found it difficult to cause effective harm to it.

Quite troublesome.

Chen Ming could clearly feel the chaotic spiritual energy fluctuations from the Totem Pole expanding, almost overshadowing the spiritual energy fluctuations of the Spirit Beast.

His greatest enemy now was this Totem Pole.

How should he fight?

How to fight such a monster perfectly countering An Wuping?

Melee combat certainly spells death, and using plasma ability is strongly countered.

Even if he could blow up the entire laboratory, he probably still couldn’t limit this monster with magnetic field control ability.

Besides, Chen Ming’s previous effect was only when it absorbed the Psychic, entering a brief chaotic period causing a little bit of damage.

Where could he find another Psychic?

When Chen Ming thought of this, he already had an answer.

But An Wuping’s proxy took a lot of effort to create; he couldn’t just send An Wuping to his death.

He had to see if there were any other opportunities.

Chen Ming decided not to face the Totem Pole head-on any longer, turning to retreat toward the laboratory’s periphery.

The Totem Pole immediately followed, killing the remaining Zuo Jing elements in the laboratory’s periphery who failed to evacuate while constantly closing in on Chen Ming.

The Totem Pole did not even need to be seen by the Zuo Jing elements; as long as its spiritual energy fluctuated and contacted them, their limbs would sever themselves, making the whole person a part of the Totem Pole.

As more and more Zuo Jing elements in the laboratory periphery were killed by the Totem Pole, its diameter and length had more than doubled compared to its debut.

If the laboratory space weren’t large enough, the passages might not accommodate this size.

But since Chen Ming had tried, physical means were ineffective, implying the Totem Pole should have the ability to ignore obstacles.

It’s just unclear why it’s still tracking along the paths Chen Ming took.
