Poison God's Heritage

Chapter 244: Big Brain

Explosive collisions continued happening all around me and I could barely do anything but dodge as best as I could. Not to mention, I am no longer able to fly or teleport in this enclosed room.

There doesn't seem to be any exit, so this means that I need to find a solution to this problem I'm facing.

Destroying these massive spinning pinballs of death is out of the question, the mere contact they're making with each other is far more destructive than anything I could produce and they're not even being nicked or cracked.

The problem was that the longer these collisions continue the higher chances I have of messing up and turning into a meat paste.

How can I get out of this situation?

Looking around, nothing seemed to catch my eyes besides something on the farthest side of the circular room.

It was a circle on the ground, and if I remember correctly each and every ball here when I came was comfortably sitting inside those circles.

My divine sense was still spread to cover the entire room and after a moment I realized something important, whenever one of the balls makes contact against one of the walls and if they had touched the circle, it visibly slows down before it shoots back out.

The velocity of the ball coming back is slower than the original but since there are many other balls moving around once the slow ball makes contact with another, it increases its speed again neutralizing the slowness.

I then immediately figured out how to leave the room and the purpose of this trial.

However, how can I apply this?

Especially if trying to stop or even come in contact with these rolling balls of death would mean that I'll make a not so good looking ground painting.

A ball came dangerously close to me but I managed to dodge away by the skin of my teeth, a part of my reinforced robe was shredded to pieces the moment it made contact with the ball.

Shit, everything is becoming even faster and more dangerous.

Suddenly, I noticed something, a couple of balls came too close to each other and only grazed each other, this sent them spiraling away but at a far too lower speed as if the slight soft contact made the energy within the dissipate.

"Soft versus hard, yes! I got it!" I grinned.

Then I spread my hands forward as my divine sense spread and focused even harder.

I closed my eye and then began analyzing the entirety of the area from a third-person perspective.

There were twenty-four balls. And a very tight room and I'm in the middle.

A ball seemed to be coming towards me at an incredible speed, so I moved to the side and instead of just dodging it, I had gravitational Law Lines spread from my hand, I wanted to apply gravitational force in front of me to try and alter the ball's direction.

Yet the moment the ball touched the law lines, they broke and shattered and the ball continued its course until it collided with another and I lost track of it after several other contacts.

Damn.

I think I was too direct and tried to fully control the ball's force, I might as well just try and apply pressure instead of actually forcing the ball to fully change course.

I tried it once again, this time I had even more law liens but instead of trying to cover the ball in them, I wanted just to push the ball away from me for now.

Once the next ball came my way, I pressured it with gravitational law from the side, trying to replicate the same effect of grazing it.

And the ball slightly every so slightly changed course.

"Yes! It's working!"

I threw my fist up in celebration only to realize I was in the course of two incoming balls. I rolled away and stood up only to jump again dodging another ball, and again to find myself too close for comfort as another ball spun right next to my nose.

Shit!

If I lose focus once I'm gonna die.

Alright, now I have a general gist of things.

I then began coating my palm with gravitational law and slightly tap on every incoming ball, trying my best not to make direct contact with the ball unless I want the skin on my hand to be burnt from the power of the spinning balls.

I only needed the gravitational force to touch the ball, not my hand.

For now, I'm still not capable of pushing away the balls but I can slightly change their course and if I'm able to do this constantly, I can probably stop everything in this room, but there is a catch.

I altered one of the ball's course and it was headed straight for one of the small circles on the side of the room until another ball came out of nowhere and slammed it away neutralizing my work.

Damn.

However, I realized something important if the test was just about pushing the balls I don't think it was worth being an eight-floor level test.

There is something even bigger hidden within this test and I just realized it.

Cause and Effect, action and reaction.

Every ball here is affected by another ball's presence, and just altering one of them means that Its still not enough, because I need to be able to calculate every single item moving in this room, every possible contact, and the direction of every ball, then the effect of the ball I'm going to push and how it's going to affect the rest of the balls in the room.

This is like playing chess with every piece as a variable and needing to make a move and know the consequences of every reaction from then on.

To be completely honest, this is some work that only a supercomputer can do. But as a cultivator…

I took a deep breath and opened both my eyes as Qi surged into my eyes.

The world was coated in a pale green aura as I enabled my mind's eye.

My concentration level increased to beyond the maximum limit and I began to see everything in a far slower speed.

It wasn't that the world slowed down, it was that my brain's function increased so much everything looked to be slowed. And this gave me ample time to figure out my next move.

An incoming ball was about to hit me, but behind me was one of the circles.

However, before it would touch the circle, it would be hit by another incoming ball from the right.

I moved to the right and applied law lines to that ball enabling the first to make contact with the circle and visibly slow down.

But at the same time, I sent the very ball I just touched toward another circle the followed after it and stopped every ball in its wake.

Then continued doing so to every ball, only to realize that the first ball I sent to the circle was slammed by another ball I didn't account for.

Shit, this is going to take some time.

So, I slapped my palms together in a prayer motion, "Golden Scripture, Doppelganger!"

Two exact copies of myself manifested next to me and spread to the other side of the room and now there were three of me.

And now I have three brains working at once, and with these heads nothing is impossible.
