Chapter 5, Gravity Warhammer

This may be due to the fact that this high-quality replica of Thor's hammer has a greater mass and a relatively more complex structure compared to the bone-cutting knife, thus requiring more energy for the modification

His own abilities are still in the exploratory stage, lacking any notable skills. In one hand, he holds a square steel hammer, while the other hand slowly injects a newly acquired unit of energy into it

Su Chen was initially testing with a mindset of exploration, and at this moment, he decisively paused the modification. The high-fidelity replica of Thor's hammer had now changed its appearance; its size had reduced by a circle, and its exterior had transformed into a kind of black fluid-like substance, yet it did not truly flow down. It seemed to still be in the process of change and modification, but had stalled at an intermediate step due to the lack of energy supply.

What exactly is lacking

Accompanied by the infusion of that black flame-like energy, he distinctly felt a peculiar sensation this time—along with the energy infusion, he felt as if he was connected to the steel hammer, experiencing a sense of bloodline connection. He even felt that he could manipulate the flame-like black energy to autonomously reshape this iron hammer according to his thoughts

It is not the peak tourist season now, and there are not many people staying here. During such times, being in a place with fewer people may not necessarily be a bad thing

A dull thud echoed. The heavily modified replica of Thor's hammer crashed directly into the center of the glass coffee table, and immediately afterward, as if triggered a chain reaction, the entire coffee table emitted a wailing sound, suddenly caving in and collapsing with a thunderous crash

However, when he immediately attempted to distort and transform it according to his own ideas, he encountered resistance. It felt as if there was a thin veil separating him; he could see the possibility, yet it was temporarily unattainable. He felt that he could reach it, but it seemed there was still a slight distance remaining. That slight distance, however, was extremely crucial.

After smashing two more chairs in the same manner, Su Chen finally figured out the function of this modified war hammer—upon impact, it instantaneously applies directional pressure several times or even dozens of times greater to the struck object, directly crushing it!

This energy unit is rapidly consumed, and the entire body of this high-fidelity replica of Thor's hammer is wrapped in black, yet it is still not fully modified; instead, it is demanding more black energy from Su Chen in reverse!

However, after this round of testing, Su Chen roughly grasped his ability. The black energy used to modify items seems to be related to the structure and quality of the items themselves. The more complex the structure and the finer the material, the more black energy is required, and the longer the modification takes. Ultimately, the resulting abilities are also stronger. For instance, the previously modified bone knife only became a "grenade"-style explosive dagger, while the high-quality replica of Thor's hammer, after modification, transformed into a "gravity war hammer". The resulting abilities are also stronger, as seen with the previously modified bone knife, which only became a "grenade"-style explosive dagger, while the high-quality replica of Thor's hammer, after modification, transformed into a "gravity war hammer".

Looking at the scene of utter chaos, Su Chen thought to himself, if it weren't for the apocalypse, I would have to pay for even my underwear

Su Chen quietly observed for a moment before returning to his bed once again, beginning to attempt to modify that high-quality replica of Thor's hammer

This thought flashed through Su Chen's mind, but he had no answer. His understanding of the Anoval Ring and the abilities it bestowed upon him was still superficial, and he needed to explore and seek further on his own. After the failure of self-modification, Su Chen released the constraints on the black energy, allowing it to proceed as it had with the bone-removing knife. However, he soon encountered a second problem.

This high-quality replica of Thor's hammer has been transformed into a gravity weapon

Moreover, these items, which inherently possess weapon characteristics, have become even more aggressive after modifications. What about non-weapon items?

He not only wants to transform, but also to test and study his own abilities. The more he understands, the more he can fully utilize this peculiar transformative power

This time it was successful. The high-quality replica of Thor's hammer "consumed" one and a half energy units from Su Chen, and then "returned" nearly half a unit back to his body. The form of this high-quality replica of Thor's hammer was finally stabilized, turning entirely black, and the feeling of holding it became somewhat lighter. This process lasted for about five minutes.

This process is quite lengthy, and in fact, the act of wandering around does provide some assistance in absorption, albeit not significantly, as that kind of energy is ubiquitous, permeating the space like air. During the absorption process, the portion that Su Chen absorbs quickly attracts other energies, flowing in like air. It is just that in some areas, the natural energy is denser than in others.

In the distance, intermittent gunfire can be heard

Perhaps one or two monsters rushed into this hotel. However, they are still far from Su Chen's location

Su Chen realized that perhaps it only required two energy units to modify this high-quality replica of Thor's hammer, but due to his interruption, a portion was lost, and he ultimately used two and a half energy units to complete the modification

The Tianjing Hotel can at least be stayed in for a while longer

If only I could have a multifunctional, Iron Man-style high-tech battle suit

Clothes

Su Chen first observed the situation, confirming that his building still seemed safe for the time being, before once again starting to dash around the room in a comical manner, absorbing energy.

The monsters on the ground seemed to differ somewhat from the one Su Chen had just encountered, but the distance was too great for him to see clearly. The only thing he could confirm was that the number of monsters did not seem to be that many. Although there was a large amount of chaos, more people were successfully fleeing. Moreover, the location of the Tianjing Hotel could be considered the city center, and those who came to this area were mostly there for work. At this moment, people were dispersing and running towards other areas, and those dark figures were also being drawn away by the crowd.

The situation in Yuanliao City is sliding towards the abyss of losing control

Su Chen took a deep breath, entered the living room, and attempted to wave the square black iron hammer in his hand towards the large coffee table in the center.

This time, Su Chen's movements were slower, more meticulous and cautious, as he sought to observe and understand how this process unfolded

Su Chen hurriedly stepped back to avoid the splintering shards of glass

Su Chen heard what seemed to be faint screams coming from the hotel building, but the floors were quite low. From his vantage point, it appeared that there were no signs of collapse or fire...

However, Su Chen did not immediately begin the renovation; instead, he first went to the window to observe the situation outside

At the far end of the city, flames are rising in clusters, while in the nearby streets and buildings, a multitude of human beings are scurrying about like ants. Vehicles have even surged onto the sidewalks, crashing into the buildings on either side, while some dark, twisted shadows weave through the crowd

Can it be transformed into battle armor

The asphalt road is gradually being stained red with fresh blood

This item costs several thousand dollars, is made of alloy, and feels heavy in hand, giving a strong sense of weight.

The thought was spinning in Su Chen's mind when suddenly, there was a loud knocking on the door of his presidential suite.

Moreover, Su Chen noticed that each time he used the modified replica of Thor's hammer, a portion of the energy he had absorbed seemed to actively withdraw from his body and input into it. It appeared that this trace of energy was what activated the powerful effects of the modified hammer. This small amount of energy served both as a unique identifier, akin to a fingerprint lock, and as the energy source to activate this gravity war hammer

His next target is the high-end wooden chair in the room

Su Chen ultimately decided to modify that high-quality replica of Thor's hammer

However, practice makes perfect. This time, Su Chen accumulated two energy units in less than five hours. He did not bother to eat and immediately continued with the transformation.
