[Entity: King Slime]
[Prefix Correction: Zenith/Eternity/Death]
When the enormous shadow overhead, enough to cover half the industrial base, crashed down, the air was compressed to its limit, producing a deafening roar as it was unable to withstand the pressure.
It was not just a physical impact from gravitational acceleration, but a malicious crushing from the bottom-level rules of the world.
In that critical moment, Pei Qi's nerves, honed through countless life-and-death experiences, reacted faster than he could think.
His right hand drew an afterimage in the void, and a round bead emitting a faint ender pearl instantly appeared in his palm.
"Snapped!"
With a crisp sound of shattering glass, the pearl was slammed hard against a blast-proof stone platform a hundred meters away.
In the next instant, the laws of space were forcibly rewritten.
Pei Qi, who was originally directly beneath the giant gel, suddenly blurred and collapsed amidst a burst of purple particle effects, and then, within milliseconds, appeared out of thin air a hundred meters away.
"BOOM—!!!"
Just as he completed his warp jump, the blue "mountain" wolf slammed down on the spot where he had been standing.
The earth groaned. The solid ground, paved with [IC2·Explosion-proof Stone] and supposedly able to withstand the impact of a nuclear blast, cracked inch by inch like a biscuit under this blow.
A terrifying shockwave, carrying dust and blue gel fragments, transformed into a tangible ring of air that spread wildly in all directions, even causing the distant steel walls to emit a sickening metallic twisting sound.
Pei Qi knelt on the high platform, his breathing slightly rapid beneath his tactical mask.
He stared intently at the enormous creature that occupied most of his field of vision, and even someone as knowledgeable as him couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
This thing—you call this a slime?
In the original game, the Slime King was at most a giant jelly three or four stories high.
However, due to the distorted size correction of the [Zenith Seed], the monster in front of us has swelled to an outrageous size.
It's like a flowing dam, a skyscraper made of high-density gel! With each undulation, it carries tens of thousands of tons of mass, and the ground groans in pain under its weight.
Scanning the [Information Display Module] reveals a series of disheartening data panels.
Name: King Slime
[Health Points: 48,000/48,000 (Dynamic Difficulty Bonus)]
Contact damage: 280 (lethal)
Defense: 20 (Sturdy)
[Special Status: Rage] - Movement speed increased by 300%
"Are you kidding me—48,000 HP? Is this still a slime? This is clearly Godzilla in gel skin!"
Pei Qi couldn't help but complain, but his hands didn't stop moving at all.
The behemoth did not stop after missing its target once.
With the AI support of the [Calamity/Death Mode], its movements completely contradict the cumbersome feel of its size.
The giant blue body suddenly contracted, like a spring compressed to its limit.
"Pop!!!"
With a loud bang, it was launched into the air again!
That wasn't jumping, that was flying!
With a whooshing sound, it hurtled towards Pei Qi on the high platform at high speed, moving in a manner that completely defied aerodynamics.
"MekaSuit, full thrusters!"
With a thought, Pei Qi's [General Mechanical Armor Suit] instantly burst forth with a dazzling blue light.
The gravity regulating unit behind him spewed out a stream of high-energy particles, propelling him into an extremely bizarre zigzag maneuver in the air, narrowly avoiding the giant gel maw that was large enough to engulf the entire platform.
But the real threat has only just begun.
Just as the Slime King swept past Pei Qi, its body suddenly became transparent and ethereal.
Immediately afterwards, the enormous golden crown that had been on its head as decoration suddenly detached from its body, like a discarded toy. Instead of moving with its body, it hovered eerily above Pei Qi's head.
"This is—" Pei Qi's alarm bells rang loudly.
[Power Swap]
The next second, the space around the crown suddenly distorted.
The Slime King, which was originally falling dozens of meters away, instantly transformed into countless blue particle streams, ignoring the limitations of space and distance, and teleported directly to the location of the crown!
That was a real "face-to-face confrontation"!
A large blue mountain suddenly appeared above Pei Qi's head, less than three meters away!
"Damn it! Doesn't this teleportation have a wind-up animation?!"
Pei Qi could even see the ninja skeleton inside the gel, which had long been completely digested, and the mockery emanating from the skeleton's empty eye sockets.
"Sizzle sizzle—!"
At the same time, the [Crown Gem] that had been hovering around the Slime King also made its move.
As if possessing its own consciousness, this red gem accurately predicted Pei Qi's evasive route during the Slime King's teleportation and fired a scarlet high-frequency laser.
This is the exclusive guardian that the Slime King is given in Eternal Mode.
Before the gem is shattered, the Slime King will receive extremely high damage reduction, and the gem will constantly harass and attack like a fly, blocking the player's movement.
Ahead lies a colossal beast that can teleport right up to you, behind you lies a deadly ray that can be predicted and sealed off.
This is the most challenging form of malice in Terraria; it gives you no chance to breathe.
"We have no choice but to tough it out!"
With no way to avoid it, Pei Qi gritted his teeth and pushed the energy shield of his mecha suit to its maximum power.
He curled up into a ball and used the thrusters on the back of the mech to force himself to fall downwards, trying to use gravity to create distance.
"Sizzle—!"
A red laser grazed his shoulder armor.
The laser dissipation unit activated instantly, forcibly absorbing and converting the heat energy, enough to burn through steel plates. Although no physical damage was suffered, the mech's energy storage bar visibly spiked for a moment.
Pei Qi raised his head and looked at the blue monarch who was adjusting his posture again, preparing to launch the next offensive.
"Okay, very good. Then I won't stand on ceremony."
The battle entered a heated stalemate.
Using the teleportation of the Ender Pearl and the high mobility of his mech suit, Pei Qi maneuvered around the terrifying beast on the now cratered plain.
Just then, Pei Qi sensed something was amiss.
Something fell onto his helmet with a soft "thud".
It's raining?
No, that wasn't rainwater. It was a viscous, green liquid.
Pei Qi looked up abruptly and saw that the once clear sky had been shrouded in a strange dark cloud.
Countless colorful little balls—blue, green, and purple—fell densely from the sky, just like hailstones.
