The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 812 One Punch Destroys

Behind the door.

Two beings that can no longer be described as living beings are locked in a fierce battle across endless dimensions.

One of them had no fixed form; its body would sometimes shatter and sometimes solidify. Each time it solidified, its aura would grow stronger.

But upon closer inspection, one will discover that this being, which appears to be a natural disaster, is actually composed of a group of tiny insects, as small as cells.

Without a doubt, this is the astral ruler of the Star River Mayfly, named by the wizard as the ruler of the swarm of insects.

Opposite him stood the Corona, clad in a green robe, with three heads and tens of thousands of arms that swung like tentacles beneath its massive body, resembling a terrifying ancient god from ancient mythology.

But at this moment, most of these tens of thousands of arms have rotted and deformed, or have simply turned into thick liquid along with flesh and bones, which looks horrifying.

The swarm of insects entangled the corona like a storm, its jellyfish-like tentacles constantly binding the corona's arms.

When these insect-like tentacles touch the corona, they transform into tiny individuals and infiltrate the cells of the corona.

Even a body as strong as a corona can't resist the invasion of the insect swarm.

"Have reinforcements arrived?"

The swarm overlord noticed the fluctuations in the dimensional gate and instantly retreated from its entanglement with the corona of physique.

However, it was merely a retreat.

Since the start of the war, the Star River Mayfly has been facing a problem of insufficient numbers of Overlords.

If it weren't for the contributions of the Star River Mayfly, which could have greatly enhanced the Overlord's combat power, the Wizard would have had to use the Physical Overlord as a support unit to prevent their own Overlord from being severely injured.

Otherwise, the early advantages of the Milky Way mayfly would never have materialized.

Even the weakest of the Crown Constellations is an overwhelming force when facing the Lord of the World.

"Haha, Dean, you look a bit disheveled."

Richard laughed as he stepped out the door, his body instantly reaching an astonishing height of 100,000 meters.

On his face, the four eyes of the Abyss Titan opened completely at that moment, and the whole world slowed down in Richard's eyes.

Upon hearing this, the three heads of the Crown of Physique instantly merged into one, and he said with some helplessness:
"There's nothing we can do, we just can't beat them. This guy's ability is a perfect counter to physical evolution."

However, although he said that, he was thinking something else entirely.

"Good heavens, what has this kid been doing all these years? How did his physique improve so quickly!" The Physique Crown thought in disbelief.

As a truth wizard of the Constitutional School, Richard's constitution, though he couldn't accurately determine the numerical values, could at least get a general idea.

Richard now has at least 7,000 points of physique.

He had cultivated for over a thousand years, exhausted all his accumulated knowledge, used almost every item that could enhance his physical evolution, and experienced countless life-or-death battles, yet his physical strength had only barely reached seven thousand points.

Richard, however, reached the same data as him in just fourteen years, and may even have surpassed him.

Even if this is the original essence of the world, reaching this value in fourteen years is still quite exaggerated.

Not to mention, Richard is not the origin of the world.

"Oh? To make you, Dean, admit defeat, it seems this insect overlord has improved his skills again."

Li looked toward the insect overlord, his four eyes brimming with fighting spirit.

The fact that the Overlord of the Swarm could force the Corona to this state clearly indicates that its strength has improved significantly.

This war is not just about wizards growing stronger. As a civilized race, the Star River Ephemeral have seen significant improvements in both their technology and their combat power over the years.

Even those at the Crown of Physique can reach a physique of 7,000, let alone these ancient rulers who have lived for countless years.

As the new wizard arrived, the eyes of the insect overlord kept showing subtle changes.

This was a feature he observed with all his might.

He could sense that, although the new wizard in front of him was not much stronger than the wizard he had beaten so badly that he couldn't fight back, he was still a formidable opponent.

But if it comes to a fight, this wizard is definitely stronger than that green-robed wizard.

Moreover, it is far superior.

"Do you want to retreat?"

A thought flashed through the mind's organs as the swarm of insects took over.

The Star River Mayfly can no longer afford the loss of a ruler. Any Star River Mayfly ruler must prioritize stability in battle.

With a thought, he connected with the world ruler through the mayfly dimension.

"World, I'm in a bit of trouble. The spark has appeared, and it feels very dangerous to me."

"Danger?"

The World Overlord, who was battling the Corona of Energy, twitched its tentacles, causing the vast world to tremble.

Sensing the flaw, the Cosmic Crown swung its staff, which resembled a galaxy, and a massive torrent of energy instantly cleaved away a mountain range within the world's domain.

In battles between experts of the same level, one cannot afford to relax even the slightest bit.

"Retreat if it's dangerous, but try to gather as much intelligence as possible."

Without saying a word, the world ruler immediately composed himself and launched his counterattack.

Having received the reply, the insect overlord had already made up his mind.

"Let's test the waters first, and retreat if problems arise. This spark isn't a spiritual evolution; my abilities are naturally able to counter it. Even if I can't win, I should still be able to escape."

This conclusion is not due to the arrogance of the insect overlord. Although he also underwent physical evolution, he forged a unique path in his evolutionary journey.

No matter how much an ordinary flesh-and-blood creature evolves, it is still just an individual.

But the swarm leader was different; he chose to do the opposite, transforming all his cells into complete individuals, forcibly turning himself from an ordinary flesh-and-blood creature into a Gestalt being.

Although Gestalt beings are not particularly special at the World Lord stage, and may even be weaker than ordinary World Lords if they are not strong enough.

However, once they reach the Dominion stage, the Gestalt creatures' potential will be fully unleashed.

During this stage, each individual Gestalt organism develops intelligence, and this intelligence simultaneously forms a swarm of insects that dominates this vast consciousness.

The true ruler of the swarm is me, the swarm itself.

This autonomous intelligence gives the swarm overlord a significant advantage when facing organisms with evolved physical structures. His cellular swarm possesses intelligence and decisiveness, capable of rapidly adjusting itself during battle to better adapt to the combat environment.

The organisms whose bodies have been eroded by his cellular swarm can only fight back against the cellular swarm by relying on their immune systems and the self-evolution and adaptation of their cells.

This disparity is equivalent to a normal person beating a brain-dead person. Unless a creature attacked by a swarm of insects has an off-limits physical condition, it is a weakling in the face of the swarm.

The insect overlord's decision was made in the blink of an eye; in the next instant, his figure transformed into two storms.

The smaller clump hindered the corona's structure, while the larger clump rushed towards Richard.

Richard also heard the description of the Swarm Overlord from the Constitutional Crown. After learning about the Swarm Overlord's abilities, Richard couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"The path of evolution is truly full of wonders; some people have even evolved themselves into Gestalt creatures."

"Incredible, truly incredible."

The next moment, the swarm of insects and Richard clashed head-on.

Faced with the swarm of insects, Richard made no attempt to protect himself, nor did he react in the slightest.

He wanted to experience firsthand the power of this cellular swarm.

Seeing Richard's behavior, the insect overlord couldn't help but feel a little surprised and uncertain.

He knew Richard's Miracle Fire was extremely strong; could it be that Richard was trying to lure him in and then deliver a fatal blow?
Isn't that a bit risky?

To dare to go without protection, let alone Richard having only seven thousand physiques, even if Richard had ten thousand physiques and specialized cellular defenses.

He could also devour Richard in an instant.

In battles between rulers, decisions are made in an instant.

In an instant, the insect swarm leader made a decision—to hold back a trick.

A swarm of insects descended upon him; trillions upon trillions of cells instantly enveloped Richard. Countless swarms attached themselves to Richard's body, launching an attack on his cells.

However, if you look at it from the outside, you will find that although the swarm completely envelops Richard, there are gaps inside.

If Richard is playing a trick to lure the enemy in, then these gaps are the swarm's escape route... Hmm! ?
The insect swarm leader was startled.

With a loud "boom," Richard was suddenly illuminated by a blinding flash of light.

The brightness of this flash exceeded that of the sun and was almost comparable to the explosion of a supernova.

The next moment, the swarm of insect overlords fled from Richard as if they had seen a ghost.

The clump that had been entangled with the corona was also retrieved.

The flash disappeared, and Li looked at the swarm of insect overlords, a wicked smile on his face.

"Why aren't you eating? Don't you really like it?"

The swarm of insects solidified into a form, looking at Richard as if he were a monster.

"Every cell is a quaternary annihilation reactor, you madman!"

Although the swarm of swarms of swarms has a great advantage over ordinary cells, this does not mean that its swarm of swarms is invincible.

After Richard incorporated the rules, every cell was undergoing a four-element annihilation reaction, which was like a bomb that could explode at any moment to the cellular swarm.

A normal person can easily overcome intellectual disability, but when faced with a gas cylinder that could explode at any moment, running away is the best option.

"Haha, thank you for the compliment."

Richard laughed loudly, and the almost inexhaustible energy within his body began to flow.

Noticing Richard's actions, the Overlord of the swarm did not hesitate and immediately turned and ran.

His abilities are useless against Richard; in a direct confrontation, he would definitely be worn down and killed.

However, it was too late to escape at this point.

A vast ocean of energy flowed within Richard's body. Under the influence of mental power and the power of rules, its structure constantly transformed, eventually becoming pure transparency.

Light is a phenomenon of energy dissipation. Transparency, on the other hand, represents the complete absence of energy dissipation.

Seeing the swarm of insect overlords arrive hundreds of light-seconds away in the blink of an eye, Richard silently raised his fist.

A colorless storm swept across the void.

In the darkness of the deep universe, a dazzling star suddenly appeared.

The insect overlord's body exploded in the colorless storm, the blinding light even causing Richard to squint.

Behind him, the corona of the physique looked at the "stars," his lips trembling slightly as he spoke:
"Is...he dead?"
