Chapter 1149 - Spend It All
🕑 Added 2023-04-24 07:08:52 +0000 UTCIt’s not easy to create and conceal something like a gravity bomb. The raw mana I pour into the damn thing, and its generally unstructured form, don’t exactly lead to a stable, easily hidden spell.
The gravity bomb has always been a weird bit of magic. I first discovered this technique, and mana compression, when I blasted a croca beast directly in the face with a ball of pure mana. It’s probably possible to do something similar to a gravity bomb with any sort of mana, a fire bomb, a water bomb, a lava bomb, or whatever.
It’s not like I’m utilising some fancy, gravity only spell-form, all I’m doing is taking a huge chunk of mana and packing it into a dense ball before letting it rip.
But for some reason, I can’t imagine any other type of mana working nearly as well as my special, purple, crushing magic. Once I compact it, smush it together, the mana itself takes over, sucking in everything it can get, compacting by itself, just like a black hole.
And when I release it, the bomb emits that terrifying pull, consuming the air, stirring up the wind and eating even the light. I can’t possibly imagine any other mana type could come close to the devastation of this spell!
HOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWLLLLL!
The bomb screams through the air, creating a vortex of twisting wind as it goes. This one is dense, with a ton of mana packed into it and empowered by the Altar. I didn’t hold back even a little when preparing it, and now that this delectable dish has been served, I hope that these three demons manage to enjoy it.
By the by, am I shifting forward by any chance?
I shift my body to look down and, sure enough, my legs are being dragged forward, carving their own little furrows in the ground. In the distance, the bomb continues to fly away from me, and the more I look, the more I realise that I can’t really see it properly. The thing is sucking in so much light, I can’t even see the edges of it anymore, it’s more like a… dark blob, a void, that moves through the air, rocketing toward the target.
So… this thing is pulling me forward… even though it hasn’t expanded yet….
Oh… my… Gandalf….
[Duck for cover! Run! Dig! This is a code purple! CODE PURPLE!]
So saying, I spin myself around and throw my massive ant frame forward with all my strength. The moment I hit the deck, I start digging into it, face-hands flying as I rip through the rock, moulding it with earth mana as I go.
Tiny jumps in beside me and starts tearing into the ground with his thick fingers, a look of cold determination on his face, for once. It wasn’t easy to impress on the big ape just how serious a code purple is, but I eventually explained that it would crush all his muscles to nothing and he nearly fainted on the spot.
[Invidia, are you down here?!]
[Yesssss.]
He doesn’t sound happy about it, but I’m glad. In just a few seconds, it's not like we can dig far, but anything is better than exposing ourselves uncovered. I dumped as much gravity mana into this as I could while still concealing the spell. With Invidia helping to hide the mass of power, the bomb absorbed so much mana it had become a pure black sphere, rotating within me like a cold and indifferent beast.
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWLLLLLL!!!!!
I turn around, my head poking out of the hole we dug just in time to see the bomb zipping over the final metres. The wind has been whipped into an absolute frenzy, to the point the bomb appears to be the centre of a newly formed hurricane. The winds are so fast, I swear I see larvae being lifted up into the air by their force, carried away to goodness knows where, or, most unfortunately, thrown toward the centre of the mess.
I don’t even know what the three demons have done in response to my opening gambit, the chaos caused by the bomb is so total, it’s impossible to pay attention to anything else.
When it reaches its destination, the bomb flickers for a moment, and I dig my claws as deep into the rock as I can.
Here it comes….
In a flash, the bomb expands, manifesting itself as a slowly rotating void, like the eye of an all-devouring god.
Then it expands again.
My eyes almost boggle out of my head at the size of the thing. This is double the size of my previous biggest bomb…. DOUBLE!
I’m way too close for this! Every damn time, the thing that gets the closest to killing me is my own damn magic!
As the gravity bomb reaches its full size, the most terrifying pull I’ve ever experienced takes hold, and everything goes wrong. The ground cracks and splits, the air screams, lava boils up, only to be dragged into the void.
Light is gone, sound is gone.
In the vicinity of the spell, everything is gone.
Holy moly. What have I created? I’m not sure if I’m more horrified or terrified, as that sickening dragging sensation is working its deadly magic on me as well! I’ve been rather impressed with my new body, but it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that my mass has gone up rather significantly in my last evolution. The Gravity Compressed Diamond is so dense only Tiny can compete with it.
It’s great stuff, but it doesn’t exactly help when I’m trying to avoid being dragged into a miniature black hole.
[Master Grip (IV) has reached level 11]
Now that helps. Precious Grip, save me now!
The scene in front of my many-lensed eyes is a nightmare. The ground is being ripped up, the light is disappearing and the air is being dragged in so fast I can’t hear anything except the high-pitched scream. If the windspeed picks up any more then I’m going to lose an antennae!
I really should have tested a full strength Gravity Bomb before I let one rip…. How many times am I going to fall for this?!
With a might bellow, Tiny thrusts his hands forward and buries his fingers deep into the stone below. Must be nice having unbreakable bones! Now if only he had those bones on the outside….
Invidia is protected by clinging to the big ape and Crinis is stuck to me. Al… I’m not sure where Al wound up, I hope he can keep himself far enough away.
Holding tight, I pour every ounce of strength of strength I can muster into holding my ground in the face of the thing that I created.
With a little luck, even those tier eight demons wouldn’t have managed to survive it.

We all know Anthony is not that lucky.
Rahsheem Reid
Who y’all got black beard (OP vs Anthony (current form the whole colony waiting on the wings. 1 v 1
Rahsheem Reid
Juuuuuuuussstt waiting on Anthony’s black hole bomb
Merf
No. The four fundamental forces are strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, electromagnetism and gravity.
Marter
I neeeeddssss to know whatssss happenssssss nexxxt pleasesssss.
Fistro nio
Nucelar forces you mean.
Fistro nio
He should use his new gravity domain spell around him opposite to the gravity pull from the bomb to cancel it for he and his allies.
Icharris
Also he needs to learn a gravity immunity spell. It doesn’t work by countering gravity directly, but instead by turning off the things inside him that gravity affects essentially turning himself weightless. Weightless Anthony would only need to worry about any wind… such as the wind from the black hole in front of him devouring everything 🤦♂️
Icharris
Thanks for the chapter
Icharris
Well it is the weakest one… by 33 orders of magnitude 🙊 none the less it has abilities none of the others do… nuclear forces decay too rapidly and electromagnetism cancels itself out.. so I think gravity can still qualify as one of the four!
alexander ukaga
why can’t he perform the gravity spell on himself again and stick to the floor
Merf
Damn! What a chapter! Though I can’t help wondering if Anthony’s faith in his gravity bomb will finally falter. Are three Tier 8 Mythic Demon’s up to the challenge of confronting, or even overcoming, one of the four fundamental forces of reality?
stubs
i wonder if he could use gravity spells on himself to push away from the gravity pull. At the tate his ace card is growing it would be for the best 😅
Rahsheem Reid
I agree but we need to even the playing field just a bit
Gopard
Thanks for the chapter! Finally we get the pseudo Blackhole! But I actually don't think those three will just be dead. That would be pretty underwhelming for all this hype!
Koala Man
Lol yup add the thing that adds more gravity then add the thing that amplifies that then add the thing that creates a feed back loop of the thing etc , and your surprised it goes boom big time? Epic :)
