Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1687: The Second Law

“The other side has two ability users. One uses a ranged weapon and has a powerful armor-piercing ability. The other also attacks with a ranged weapon, but seems to have much greater firepower, and his ability is a mystery.”

Blood Tide made this assessment at once.

To further confirm Newton and Canero’s abilities, he reached out his right hand. The enormous Blood-red Pearl instantly melted, turning back into a huge, viscous River of Gore.

“Blood Rain!”

“Rumble—”

The River of Gore surged wildly. One blood-red arrow after another emerged from its depths. Behind him, the river transformed into a rushing torrent, like a curtain stretching for several kilometers.

Countless blood arrows, too numerous to tally, aimed toward Newton and Canero. In an instant, a torrential downpour descended!

A wide-area attack like this was the best way to probe an opponent. It could reveal their defensive capabilities and whether they had a way to deal with attacks covering a vast area.

Canero hid behind Newton and remained unmoved in the face of the attack.

Newton raised his head and gazed at the sky. White light flashed across the lenses of his rimless, round glasses.

“Newton’s Second Law.”

“The magnitude of an object’s acceleration is directly proportional to the force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. The direction of the acceleration is the same as the direction of the force.”

“With the right application of even a little force, an object’s direction of motion can be changed. My ability can even alter the state of matter itself!”

Newton simply stood where he was, apparently doing nothing. Yet an invisible force suddenly manifested in the space before him, one that could not be detected by the naked eye.

Countless razor-sharp blood arrows, numbering in the tens of thousands, abruptly veered away in bizarre directions as they fell toward him!

The ground of Linhai City was instantly stained red. Blood arrows were embedded everywhere, deep in the earth, in buildings, and in the withered woods.

Yet not a single arrow fell within several hundred meters of where Newton and Canero stood!

“He deflected my attack?”

Blood Tide murmured under his breath, then swiftly changed his strategy.

He swept his hand outward.

“River of the Underworld Reverses!”

The blood arrows that had pierced the ground and covered the surrounding area melted in an instant, transforming into a vast river of blood that rapidly began circling Newton and Canero.

A gigantic whirlpool of blood completely engulfed the two of them. The rising waves, like countless rows of sharp sawteeth, spun faster and faster, as if they could crash into them at any moment!

Even Canero’s expression grew solemn. He could sense the terrifying supernatural power contained in the river of blood. If he were dragged into it, his body would likely be destroyed in short order!

As a sniper, he wasn’t particularly good at dealing with this kind of situation.

Newton remained calm as ever and adjusted his rimless glasses.

“Your ability is certainly interesting. But before this battle, I already did my homework on you.”

Data never lied. Less than a month had passed since Blood Tide’s battle in East Sea City, but that had been plenty of time for Newton to gather enough information.

The blood whirlpool spun faster and faster. At the same time, Nian once again used his Telekinesis. This time, he wasn’t affecting external objects. He was directly controlling Newton and Canero’s bodies!

In an instant, the two felt a powerful force come into being from nothingness, as if heavy chains had bound them both.

“Sir, I’ve affected them!”

Nian reported.

“Excellent!”

Blood Tide raised his right hand without hesitation. “Devour them, River of the Underworld!”

The enormous River of Gore roared to life. The river surged back upon itself, and a blood-red wave soared skyward, charging at Canero and Newton. Its serrated crests were like countless whirling saw blades!

The two immediately activated the energy within their bodies. Nian’s telekinetic power was formidable, but he couldn’t fully control them at that moment. He could only influence their movements.

They struggled with all their might to break free of Nian’s control, then immediately activated the flight function of their combat suits and shot into the sky, evading the Blood Tide’s attack.

“Dodging is pointless! Wherever you run, my River of Gore will pursue you!”

Blood Tide merely swept his right hand through the air, like a conductor wielding his baton. Below, a vast number of blood whirlwinds shot skyward, relentlessly pursuing Newton and Canero.

Newton looked down and fired a world-shaking blast from Atheist in his hand. The terrifying energy cannon roared across the heavens. A golden beam pierced the River of the Underworld, scattering a large number of blood whirlwinds!

But even then, countless blood whirlwinds continued to surge toward the two of them at even greater speed!

This time, Newton no longer dodged. Instead, he once again activated the power of his First Law.

“With just a little external force, you can alter the course of a massive ship or a heavy train, gradually pushing it far from its original path!”

“That is the wonder of mechanics!”

Newton activated his ability. Every attack aimed at him was deflected from its course, rushing away in all directions.

He and Canero flew into the distance, evading the attack.

The two immediately counterattacked Blood Tide and Nian.

As before, Canero used Piercing of All Things to break through their defenses, then Newton unleashed a powerful area attack with Atheist.

Nian could sense that he was their target, so he sensibly stayed behind Blood Tide.

Blood Tide once again opened a blood barrier, blocking the combined attack.

However, he had to use a large quantity of blood to attack, leaving a weakness in his defense.

This time, Newton’s attack actually sent him flying several thousand meters. His armor nearly cracked.

“Their attacks are incredibly irritating!”

Even General Silver Armor Blood Tide no longer dared to underestimate the human duo before him.

Canero wasn’t especially powerful, and his ability to fight alone was mediocre. But with an ability that could dismantle most of an enemy’s defenses, all he needed was a Transcendent with powerful offensive strength at his side to produce astounding results!

The two hadn’t been paired together by chance.

Nian immediately said, “Looks like we have to take out that sharpshooter first!”

A cold glint shone in Blood Tide’s eyes. “No matter. They won’t be able to evade this attack!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the River of Gore surged toward Newton and Canero once more.

Nian immediately activated his ability, uprooting dozens of enormous skyscrapers from the ground.

Rumble!

Beneath the snow-covered city, he tore apart the buildings, overturning an entire street. Vast quantities of concrete, stone, and soil flew into the sky, then hurtled toward Canero and Newton.

Though this attack was unlikely to inflict much direct harm on the two, it could obstruct their vision and disrupt them as snipers.

The true killing move was naturally Blood Tide’s great river of blood.
