Apocalypse Gachapon

It turned out that it could not.

The energy gate directly rejected the level nine Snow Wolf King, forcing it to retreat empty-handed. It was useless even when it furiously attacked the energy gates in its rage.

It wasn’t until Ye Zhongming emerged from another gate and attacked the other Snow Wolf King that this one finally gave up.

The other Snow Wolf King had initially intended to attack Red Hair, but as it dragged her, still gripping the other end of her spear, closer, it suddenly noticed Ye Zhongming appearing from a nearby energy gate. His gun had transformed into Wind and Thunder, and with a single Thousand Seal Slash, he struck the Snow Wolf King.

At this moment, the effects of gravity became apparent.

The Snow Wolf King was an extremely agile creature. Even highly mobile human evolved like Ye Zhongming, Red Hair, or Xia Bai, would appear clumsy in comparison.

In a real fight, disregarding the difference in strength, speed alone would cause Ye Zhongming’s attacks to miss, leaving him completely on the defensive.

But now, with gravity tripled, the Snow Wolf King’s agility was severely restricted, turning its phantom-like movements into something traceable.

Yes, gravity affected Ye Zhongming and the others as well—whether it was the Lightning Sand Monster or Red Hair, their movements were hindered. However, the presence of these energy gates allowed Ye Zhongming to strike from optimal positions while minimizing the impact of gravity.

This was an ability that appeared after the Hell Envoy bloodline was upgraded to its highest level—The Gates.

The blade slash landed on the Snow Wolf King’s body, and though ice flowers bloomed, they failed to fully block the attack, just like the earlier bullet.

Now, Ye Zhongming’s Thousand Seal Slash, enhanced by numerous factors, carried tremendous power. The hundreds of blade shadows merged into one, and with the amplification of the top-tier weapon Wind and Thunder, it left a deep wound on the Snow Wolf King.

The Snow Wolf King abruptly turned and spewed a mist toward Ye Zhongming!

But Ye Zhongming employed his hit-and-run tactic again. After executing his skill, he retreated into the energy gate and vanished again.

The Snow Wolf King roared in frustration but could do nothing.

It had forgotten about one person—Red Hair, the figure clad in red armor and wielding a spear, whom it had dragged close earlier.

As it turned in rage to pursue Ye Zhongming, Red Hair’s attack arrived silently.

Her crimson hair began to lengthen, spreading across the battlefield in the blink of an eye. If viewed from above, the red strands rapidly expand outward from Red Hair, covering the entire area like an intricate spiderweb.

And what happened next shocked everyone once more.

She planted her spear in front of her, and her red armor began to disassemble—a process synchronized with the expansion of her hair.

The dismantled armor didn’t fall to the ground but instead transformed into clusters of thorny flowers, adhering to Red Hair’s body and turning her into a “flower person.”

Thorny vines began to grow from Red Hair’s body, intertwining with the flowers. The spear also changed, morphing into a thick wooden trunk that soon enveloped Red Hair. Thorny flowers sprouted from its surface, transforming it into a crownless thorn tree!

The next moment, a surge of power from the thorn tree transmitted into the red strands of hair, which instantly turned thorny, becoming sharp, barbed branches.

The thorns were densely packed, each over thirty centimeters long, glinting coldly like metal.

The enraged Snow Wolf Kings noticed Red Hair’s terrifying transformation in that brief moment. Both charged toward her, one from the left and the other from the right, slashing at her with their claws.

Though they didn’t understand this ability, they sensed its threat.

They used their powerful attack skill—Shadow Strike.

As their claws lashed toward Red Hair, shadows of giant wolves detached and struck the thorn tree first.

The trunk and thorny flowers were sent flying, and dark red liquid oozed from the tree, proving it had been injured.

However, the tree didn’t break—even the claw marks weren’t very deep.

Then, the main bodies’ attacks arrived, their claws and bodies striking the thorn tree again.

This time, the damage was far greater. Originally over three meters in diameter, the tree trunk shook violently, its wounds now over half a meter deep.

The dark red liquid flowed much faster.

Clearly, when the level nine Snow Wolf Kings used their ultimate skill, even Red Hair in this enhanced defensive form couldn’t fully withstand it.

The Snow Wolf Kings’ bodies descended. Even as level nine lifeforms, they couldn’t defy natural laws—in fact, due to the tripled gravity, they fell even faster.

But suddenly, both Snow Wolf Kings twisted midair, flipping onto their backs. Using the momentum, they frantically slashed upward, their shadows weaving into a wall of claw strikes.

The Snow Wolf Kings had unleashed another skill.

Yet their target wasn’t Ye Zhongming, who hadn’t reappeared, nor was it the injured, transformed Red Hair—it was the countless thorny branches whipping toward them from above!

The spiderweb-like branches lashed downward like a blooming flower suddenly closing its petals.

A sharp crack echoed as the two Snow Wolf Kings crashed heavily to the ground.

The ice flowers on their bodies flickered rapidly, clearly activating full defense. Still, some thorns pierced through, leaving bloody holes in their fur.

The thorn tree trembled violently.

The Snow Wolf Kings’ counterattack hadn’t been easy to block. The barrage of claw shadows had shredded countless thorns in an instant. While most were stopped, the ice flowers further weakened the remaining ones, leaving only a few to pierce the Snow Wolf Kings.

Their injuries weren’t even serious, let alone fatal.

The two Snow Wolf Kings immediately leaped back up.

But Ye Zhongming, who had been absent earlier, reappeared—because one of the Snow Wolf Kings had positioned itself near an energy gate, and Ye Zhongming emerged from it!

A brilliant light suddenly erupted!
