Chapter 638: Chapter 638: Striking from Barbie (Part 4)

It seemed as if the massive lightning storm made landfall in Antarctica, directly colliding with the monster that covered the Antarctic surface, engaging in brutal close combat.

However, in reality, after Xiang Kun reached the airspace above Antarctica, he never landed, still flying high in the sky, propelled by lightning and clouds, moving at high speed.

Meanwhile, in the storm’s center, thousands of “Super coins” dispersed, lowering their altitude, converging into a silhouette of an “Eight-Armed Giant” illuminated by electrical discharges, which started attacking the “Ultimate Predator” on Antarctica.

The whole battle process was very simple, as the dome of contact between the “Electric Eight-Armed Giant” and the “Ultimate Predator” – comprised of a black, special material condensed over Antarctica – caused the latter to be consumed instantly, much like flammable material once it comes into contact with fire.

The “Ultimate Predator” kept changing its form, concentrating the black material, making it rise and surge, threateningly like a tower piercing the sky. Unfortunately, it was raised not more than a few hundred meters before it was shattered and dissolved by the “Electric Eight-Armed Giant” or the other scattered “Super coins”.

Xiang Kun, soaring through the sky, observed the vast amount of black material on the ground which was yet to be dissolved, watched it threateningly change and attempted to rise upwards. He also vaguely sensed the desperation and reluctance of the “Ultimate Predator”.

In the end, it resorted to practically detonating all its fundamental high-dimensional factors in an attempt to force Xiang Kun to come personally by affecting the climate of Antarctica and the entire globe, pushing for a head-on “real” confrontation.

In its perspective, Xiang Kun had earlier used Mr. Liang as “bait” taking advantage of its feeding and transitional phase, using an unterstandable and unsuspected approach to dissolve its control over the specific factors within other external organisms, causing it to lose its ability to control the life and death of all beings, extract information, and its power of hidden manipulation, using “soft operation” tactics.

At the submicroscopic level, in the confrontation of high-dimensional factors, the “Ultimate Predator” realized it was outmatched and defeated at a single touch.

But what if the fight were on the true physical level, requiring a “hard operation”?

It presumably thought that its super-organism, developed from countless high-dimensional factors it gathered from the various it has devoured over eons, was beyond challenge from any perspective. Even if Xiang Kun could control lightning, wield the force of thunder, command various large-scale destructive weapons of the human species, there was no way he could win in a real, physical battle because it was too enormous. Its profound microscopic structure meant it wasn’t afraid of any type of destructive attack, be it lightning or high temperatures induced by nuclear explosions, none could annihilate it entirely. It could reconstruct at an insanely fast pace and possess new unusual properties.

It was convinced that at this practical level of confrontation, once it had harnessed all the high-dimensional factors into an entity, the microscopic advantage of Xiang Kun would no longer exist.

Yet, it couldn’t believe or comprehend…

Xiang Kun had produced an energy that could outrightly break down its construct. The “Electric Eight-Armed Giants” weren’t simply an aggregation of electric charges, they were deadly weapons against the high-dimensional factor constructs of the “Super coins”, which it was incapable of resisting.

Thus, the vast area of black matter, covering the Antarctic continent, transforming in countless ways, and growing in size, was decimated with a single touch by the “Electric Eight-Armed Giant”. It was rapidly destroyed as though it were nothing more than rotten wood being pulled apart.

Unexpectedly, in a physical confrontation, a “hard operation”, Xiang Kun still had the means to overpower.

But this oppression was stifling for the “Ultimater Predator”.

It was like a martial arts master losing a legal battle in court, being utterly defeated and mentally collapsed, receiving a life sentence but managing to escape custody before incarceration, attempting to drag his opponent into dueling him alone.

Despite this action forgoing his chance of survival, accepting that either loss or victory would result in a certain death, he believed that if he could force his opponent to brawl with him, to duel him, he was certain he could bring mutual destruction.

But upon engagement, it was found that although the opponent was countless times smaller, it wasn’t as powerless as expected during the physical confrontation.

Just like a giant beast facing a high-speed bullet, it could only passively take hits, unable to utilize its primal force.

The “Ultimate Predator” was crushed once again, this time, however, the destruction was truly devastating.

…

For Xiang Kun, vanquishing the giant entity of the “Ultimate Predator” was never a matter of suspense. He even had dozens of plans and hundreds of methods.

What he had to consider though, was finding a method that would minimize the impact on the environment, on Earth, and on the entire ecosystem, while also reducing the time of combat.

He didn’t want his fight with the “Ultimate Predator” to take place from Antarctica to the Pacific Ocean, or even spread to other continents, causing collateral damage to numerous islands and coastal cities, or creating a huge impact leading to irreversible consequences such as rapid melting of the Antarctic ice sheet.

If that were the case, he may as well not go to Antarctica and just wait for the “Ultimate Predator” to self-destruct.

So, in the end, he chose a method that was both “gentle” and secure, using thousands of “super-connected object matrix” from around the world and the “super coin” condensed by the emotions of many ordinary people, to battle the “Ultimate Predator”.

These “Super coins”, essentially were creations of Xiang Kun, they were purer “super-connected objects” and their “super-connected object” characteristic was much more potent than that of normal “super-connected objects”.

The greatest trait of the “super-connected objects” was that they were a type of “container” or “channel” transformed from high-dimensional factors.

The “Ultimate Predator” stimulated its high-dimensional factors, making the high-dimensional factors controlling its specific factors spontaneously return to it, creating the physical entity in Antarctica.

Xiang Kun, on the other hand, used these thousands of “Super coins” to create a channel for the high-dimensional factors distributed all over the world, or rather a “transportation array”. Xiang Kun’s high-dimensional factors could coexist within the “super-connected objects matrix” spread across each corner of the world and upon his “super coins” brought to Antarctica, providing a globally connected high-dimensional factor force when needed.

On a microscopic level, the confrontation of the high-dimensional factors was not merely a comparison of numbers, but also one of quality.

The Ultimate Predator’s high-dimensional factors were indeed several orders of magnitude more, but they were merely armed with utensils like kitchen knives and spades. However, Xiang Kun’s high-dimensional factors came armed with Gundams and Starship Destroyers. It was natural that they were instantly pierced and dissolved.

The “Ultimate Predator” had thought that Xiang Kun would single-handedly fight it, feeling wronged in its defeat.

In essence, however, Xiang Kun was using the thousands of “Super coins” like a handle to pound it with the entire Earth. Its loss wasn’t unjust in the slightest.

After Xiang Kun’s onslaught for over six hours, over 90% of the “Ultimate Predator’s” main body was dissolved. Its ability to reconstruct high-dimensional factors was utterly useless under the onslaught of the “Electric Eight-Armed Giant”. It seemed like it had something else in mind as it directly cracked the ice layer and started to bore into the ground.

Xiang Kun knew what it was trying to do. It knew there was no hope of resistance and was trying to make the entire continent of Antarctica the focus of its attack, hoping to create a global impact before its destruction, committing massive damage and chaos to humanity’s habitation—it clearly knew that Xiang Kun was extremely concerned and protective about the human collective.
