The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 813 Seed
"Killed? How could that be?"

As he looked at the fading stars, his fighting spirit grew even stronger.

At the center of the light, a dense sphere floated silently in the air. The surface of this sphere was incredibly smooth, and light flowed beneath its surface, like a breathing lamp.

The moment the light disappeared, the sphere began to grow rapidly, reaching a diameter of tens of kilometers in the blink of an eye.

"This bug is not easy to kill. It is a Gestalt creature, and each individual of it possesses intelligence."

As long as he remains an individual, he can use the power of dimensions to quickly recover.

Without conceptual ability, he's really hard to kill.

As a wizard who kept two Gestalt creatures, Richard had a fairly deep understanding of Gestalt creatures.

He was well aware of the life force dominated by the swarm of insects.

Despite the fact that he just shattered the Insect Overlord's body with a single punch, such an injury is no problem for the Insect Overlord at all.

Richard was certain that within the dimension dominated by the swarm of insects, there must exist several spacetime rifts leading to the elemental realms.

The dominant sub-individuals of the swarm of insects constantly devour matter within them, thus ensuring that the sub-individuals remain as vast as the ocean.

Richard suddenly turned his head to look at the corona.

"Dean, you should go and assist the souls and the undead. This guy is really incompatible with you. What were you thinking? Why did you choose him to fight?"

Frankly speaking, given the Insect Overlord's ability to counter physical evolutionary creatures, it's unlikely that the Physical Crown would be the one to fight him. Necromancer Crown or Soul Crown would be more suitable.

Upon hearing this, the Constitutional Crown Scorpio couldn't help but sigh.

"God knows he's evolved again recently. Before, his offspring's invasion was powerful, but he could deal with it by simply changing his immune system."

Having said that, he directly opened the dimensional gate, intending to go and support the battlefield between the Soul and the Crown of the Dead.

Richard's advice, though somewhat blunt, was absolutely correct.

He is of no use here except for wasting dimensional power.

However, before he could even enter the gate, a powerful dimensional force shook the gate and destroyed it.

The swarm leader returned from its spherical state and transformed into a form resembling a witch hunter.

In this form, the aura of the swarm of insects suddenly became exceptionally fierce, and even the dimension intertwined with the corona of the body became somewhat strange.

The swarm dimension invaded the corona dimension of the body like flowing water, just as flowing water seeps into sand.

Under this erosion, the already weak dimensional body of the Crown Constellation immediately weakened at an alarming rate.

Richard narrowed his eyes, and the Miracle Dimension instantly unfolded around him, replacing the Physical Crown to block the dimension dominated by the swarm of insects.

His dimension is a complete dimension, and the Miracle Forge can still appear, so the erosive power of this swarm of insect dimensions poses no threat to him whatsoever.

"Fire Seed, your strength truly lives up to the prophecy."

The insect overlord let out a chirping sound, and within that chirping, a chilling killing intent was as sharp as a blade.

"Therefore, you are worth the effort I have to use this power for."

"This power?"

Richard noticed the particular word, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

It seems he's forced out the insect overlord's trump card.

As they were talking, a smaller version of the Insect Overlord suddenly appeared next to the Insect Overlord.

The fact that swarms of insects dominate the Gestalt life situation means that they are not afraid of being besieged.

As long as the dimensional power and sub-individuals keep up, he will not be afraid even if he faces multiple rulers at the same time.

Of course, all of this is predicated on keeping up.

Seeing this, Richard silently tore open a space and took out the Titan's Hammer.

This Titan's Hammer is a weapon made of World Annihilation Stone. Even though Richard is already an Overlord, he only feels a little light when using it.

The powerful material of the Boundary Annihilation Stone is enough to allow it to withstand battles at the Dominator level.

hum!
Almost simultaneously with the acquisition of Titan's Hammer, the two insect overlords, one large and one small, suddenly charged forward.

The larger one approached Richard, while the smaller one approached the Constitutional Corona.

Richard blocked with his hammer, the handle and blades of the annihilation stone making a teeth-grinding cutting sound.

"It can actually damage the Boundary Annihilation Stone?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Richard's eyes. The Annihilation Stone was one of the toughest materials in the entire Astral Plane. Even he could only destroy it by relying on dimensional power.

What surprised Richard even more was that the moment he pushed aside the arthropods, the other two pairs of arthropods that dominated the swarm had already pierced his body.

These two pairs of arthropods possess a characteristic that Richard is very familiar with, yet is fundamentally different from.

"The power of a civilization devourer? No, this should be a similar power, it's a...virus!"

Richard's mind flashed through information about the Swarm Overlord. The Swarm Overlord's dimension was the Swarm Dimension, and its dimensional abilities were unknown, but it was inferred to be a kind of normal enhancement, such as enhanced regenerative abilities or stronger individuals.

Now, perhaps this ability can be modified.

Richard gave a sudden shove, pushing away the insect swarm's leader.

Immediately afterwards, a blazing fire of miracles ignited on his body.

"Virus, your ability is really interesting."

"We're even." The insect overlord moved with incredible speed, as if it had created dozens of clones.

In an instant, countless dark blades enveloped Richard.

Each of these sword strikes was almost tangible, and each one was enough to sever a miniature world.

The swarm overlord has already unleashed its trump card; every attack it makes now is an all-out effort.

hum!
A resounding hum, like the grandest of bells, echoed through the dimensions.

The insect overlord's compound eyes narrowed, and his heart sank. Richard, who should have been shredded into mincemeat by the blade, was now standing perfectly unharmed.

A nearly solid, transparent energy barrier around him blocked the blades that were powerful enough to cleave a miniature world.

"What are you surprised about? Surprised that I'm doing quite well in energy manipulation?"

Li looked at the insect overlord with a mocking expression.

The wizards are a civilization where the vast majority of individuals have undergone spiritual evolution. Even if he is a wizard who has undergone physical evolution, the insect overlord should not think of him as a barbarian who does not know witchcraft.

Not to mention, Richard also possesses the complete Hearthman lineage, as well as the incomplete lineage of the Supreme One and the Star Shepherd Titan.

Without uttering a word, the insect overlord did not feel any anger at Richard's mockery, but calmly analyzed everything before him.

Whether it is spiritual evolution or physical evolution, the heart of the ancient ruler remains as calm as still water.

Unless subjected to the Soul Crown's taunt spell, ordinary provocations will not stir any ripples in their hearts.

"The swarm invasion is contained, the viral invasion is contained, the energy attack is ineffective... This wizard is simply invincible."

Even though Richard was his enemy, a hint of admiration arose in the heart of the insect overlord.

Richard's current abilities are practically flawless.

To defeat Richard, you must overpower him on a power level.

In other words, unless multiple rulers or a super-limited ruler intervenes, Richard cannot lose; at most, it will be a draw.

The insect overlord looked at Richard. At this moment, what he saw was not a giant 100,000 meters tall, but a solid fortress that he could not breach.

Perhaps... the Milky Way mayfly has already lost.

“Fate is truly cruel,” the insect overlord suddenly said. “Even as the overlord, under the wheels of history, I am still just an insect.”

The prophecy in the Hearthstone Ruins is coming true. The Swarm Overlords never imagined that their war and their struggle would have been decided millions of years ago.

"Under the wheels of history, who isn't an insect?"

Richard's voice was calm as he swung the Titan's Hammer, the runes on its head lighting up as unimaginable amounts of energy gathered there.

In the void to his left, the Corpus Corona and the avatar of the Swarm Overlord were evenly matched, seemingly indicating that this new ability made little difference to the Corpus Corona.

The next instant, a transparent storm swept through the void.

Under this transparent wave of energy, the body of the swarm of insects once again transformed into a cluster of dazzling stars.

But soon, a new swarm of insect overlords appeared in the void.

Just as Richard guessed, as long as the sub-individuals do not completely perish, the insect overlord is immortal.

The swarm overlord did not react to the annihilation of his body. As far as he was concerned, as long as the dimension was not destroyed, he was an immortal being.

"How could you be an insect? You are the person prophesied to be, the one who controls the course of history."

Richard continued swinging Titan's Hammer, his expression serious. "You've got one thing wrong. It's not that I control the course of history, that's why history is moving in this direction."

History is not a carriage, but a train; the train travels along its tracks, and its driver can only control its speed.

The swarm overlord's body vanished once more, but in the next instant, a new swarm overlord reappeared.

“I see,” he said softly. “We are all insects.”

After saying this, his body suddenly vanished, along with the dimension where the battle was taking place, disappearing into the void.

Even Richard, who possessed the legacy of a previous civilization, was taken aback by this method.

How can dimensions be broken so quickly?

Under normal circumstances, the dimensions are intertwined, and even if the other party is willing to cooperate, it will take several hours to untangle them.

If the other party is unwilling, it is normal for this entanglement to continue for months or even years.

But Richard soon understood the methods by which the swarm of insects dominated, thanks to his extensive knowledge.

"You actually transformed an entire dimension into your own sub-body, Dean, your defeat was well-deserved," Richard exclaimed in amazement.

Although he didn't know what the Swarm Overlord's ritual was, he now understood the Swarm Overlord's abilities.

The swarm of insects has no power, or rather, the illusory dimension itself is a power.

He transformed the illusory dimension into his own sub-body, and just now he directly abandoned the part of the sub-body that was entangled with Richard's dimension.

"Richard, let's go to the land of the dead."

The Constitutional Crown came to Richard's side and hurriedly opened a runic door.

Although he didn't know the methods of the swarm overlord, there was now an undeniable opportunity to try and help the soul and undead overlord.

"With four truths besieging one, we might even be able to kill a ruler this time."

Richard nodded slightly, took a deep look at the spot where the Insect Overlord had disappeared, then turned and entered the gate.
