Versatile Mage: Lord of Space

Lin Lan was dumbfounded. What was going on with this maggot running away?
Logically speaking, shouldn't this scoundrel be extremely arrogant like in the original story?

The fake dragon from Wuhai suddenly soared into the air and then slammed heavily onto the sea. The seawater split in two, and huge waves covered the ship, threatening to smash it to pieces.

"Congeal!"

Lin Lan's eyes turned from black to silver, and the surrounding time and space seemed to freeze. The seven or eight-meter-high waves came to an abrupt halt!

"fall!"

With the application of his will, the waves finally settled smoothly onto the sea surface.

"Start the boat, Bobby!" Mo Fan shouted.

Since the false dragon in Wuhai has escaped, it's impossible to eliminate it on the shallow reef. So, the only option is to first set sail and catch up with it before making any further plans.

"Okay..." Bobby snapped out of his shock and steered the ship toward the direction of the Wuhai Pseudo-Dragon.

"I'll go after them, you guys follow."

"We must kill it; we absolutely cannot let it escape," Lingling specifically instructed.

"Don't worry, whether it's a maggot, a fake dragon, or a real dragon, it's just a dead dragon in front of me." As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Lan disappeared from the spot.

……

The Wuhai pseudo-dragon swims very fast in the sea, and it is impossible to catch up with it by ship, but Lin Lan can move eight hundred meters in an instant!

In just a moment, they arrived in front of the Wuhai Pseudo-Dragon.

"Awooo!!!"

The Wuhai pseudo-dragon sensed Lin Lan in the air and knew it couldn't escape. Having just become the overlord of this ocean, it had already encountered such a formidable opponent...

But it had no choice; it was only thanks to these few humans that it became the Wuhai Pseudo-Dragon.

But now these humans who helped it want to kill it, and it can't escape, so it can only fight to the last moment.

The Wuhai pseudo-dragon opened its mouth wide and spewed out a terrifying dragon breath. The black dragon breath carried a powerful destructive ability that could instantly turn anything it touched into nothingness.

The dragon's breath roared and swept in, but Lin Lan didn't move. The scorching dragon's breath engulfed Lin Lan's body and instantly evaporated the seawater below, creating a vacuum zone.

"Roar~~~~~~~~~~!!!"

The Wuhai pseudo-dragon roared, and it clearly saw Lin Lan being engulfed by its breath.

Although it didn't know why the human didn't dodge, Lin Lan would be badly injured even if he didn't die!

As the breath dissipated, the eyes of the Wuhai pseudo-dragon nearly popped out of their sockets.

Lin Lan didn't move at all, so it's understandable that he's unharmed...

What material are these clothes that humans keep changing made of?

The wicked maggot pseudo-dragon didn't believe it was that strange. How could any living being be invincible?

Dark energy surged once more from the depths of that serrated throat.

With a deafening roar, a second destructive black dragon breath shot straight into the sky, scorching the rain curtain and creating a vacuum trail.

"To make you give up, mind control!"

Lin Lan's pupils contracted sharply, and his mental energy spread out like a spider web.

Rocks from the seabed surged forth, forming a chaotic protective wall at the last second. The moment the black dragon's breath struck the wreckage, those rocks melted away like snowflakes thrown into a steel furnace.

"Silent Thunder Death Ray!"

Taking advantage of this opening, Lin Lan twisted his body in mid-air and exerted force, his right arm wrapped in violent lightning as he thrust it out fiercely.

The golden lightning bolt struck precisely the weak spot on the dorsal fin of the maggot-like dragon, the sound of shattering scales mixed with the pungent smell of burning flesh.

"Awooo~~~~~~~~~~~!!!"

The excruciating pain caused the enormous creature to writhe wildly, raising its head to the sky and letting out a mournful dragon roar.

What was truly chilling was that, along with its roar, the torrential rain began to be followed by a deluge of dark lightning. These bolts of lightning, imbued with destructive energy, were like the claws of a demon, instantly transforming the shallow reef area where Lin Lan was located into a thunderstorm hell.

"Boom boom boom!"

Each bolt of lightning struck the sea surface and exploded into plasma balls tens of meters in diameter.

It has to be said that this Wuhai pseudo-dragon is incredibly audacious, playing with fire in front of Lin Lan. That's tantamount to inviting divine retribution, playing with fire and getting burned!

"Attract lightning!!"

The ship arrived at the scene just as Lin Lan was drawing lightning.

"Hurry down and help! This lightning is extraordinary!" Lingling had sensed the destructive lightning filling the sky from a great distance.

"Maybe we should just forget about it... this lightning can kill people..." Bobby said weakly.

“Let’s go help Xuexue,” Mo Fan said.

Mu Ningxue nodded.

"Boom! B ...

Amidst the horrified gazes of the others, Lin Lan suddenly opened her arms, actively drawing the deadly lightning bolts towards herself.

Bobby gripped the steering wheel tightly and pressed the accelerator. "Are you crazy... Isn't his strongest ability spatial? Instead of using spatial abilities to block, he's taking the lightning with his bare body!"

If Lin Lanyi were gone, he would definitely step on the gas without hesitation.

"Won't something bad happen?" Mu Ningxue asked.

"Definitely not. In my entire life, I've never seen anyone stronger than Lin Lan at the advanced level when it comes to playing with lightning," Mo Fan said.

Lin Lan paid no heed; sparks flew from every pore of his body, and the blood vessels beneath his skin were clearly visible under the high-voltage current.

Even more terrifying, the evil maggot pseudo-dragon became even more ferocious upon seeing this, summoning more lightning bolts to strike the reckless human.

"Lightning, at my command!!"

With that roar, the compressed lightning energy within Lin Lan's body had reached its critical point.

He suddenly crossed his arms in front of his chest, and all the destructive energy he had absorbed was released at that moment.

"BOOM!!!"

Two intertwined bolts of lightning, like roaring black dragons, crashed into the maggot-like pseudo-dragon, unleashing a deafening thunderstorm upon contact. Within the blinding lightning, countless white maggots could be vaguely seen gushing forth from the pseudo-dragon's shattered shell; these parasites, which should have been feeding on the dragon's corpse, had instead become crucial to the pseudo-dragon's survival.

As the thunderstorm gradually subsided, tens of thousands of charred remains of maggots floated on the sea. The once-proud dragon scale armor of the maggot pseudo-dragon was now shattered, revealing the disgusting maggot tissue inside.

It writhed in agony, and with each struggle, clumps of wriggling white maggots fell from its wounds.

……

……

The complete vaccine of the maggot pseudo-dragon is placed in a special container.

Boru wiped the sweat from his brow with a sigh of relief and said in a light tone, "There shouldn't be any more people dying from the drowning curse now, right?"

Lingling shook her head, her voice carrying a gravity beyond her years: "Biological evolution is like a never-ending gear. Even if we find a vaccine for this maggot, countless mutants still lurk in the depths of the ocean." She pointed to the turbulent sea in the distance, "Those parasitized demons may be gestating even more terrifying new variants."

“Look at those sirens,” Lingling suddenly pointed to the surface of the sea. Several sharks, their dorsal fins slicing through the waves, were fighting over a floating carcass, one of them with an unnatural grayish-white pupil. “They might already be the next generation of hosts.”

The setting sun cast long shadows of everyone.

As the city of Tinoaia gradually lit up with magical lights, the group suddenly realized that this seemingly sturdy human fortress was actually constantly undergoing a torrent of evolution.

A thousand years ago, humans were nothing more than ants in the eyes of demons; now, they have built city-states and stand on equal footing with them. But if we stop, those "little devils" lurking in the shadows of the deep sea will eventually tear through the defenses of civilization, just like the maggots of today.

"In any case, the Drowning Curse is over. After getting the reward, we'll have to go back to the National Team," Lin Lan said.

"Hehe, I can travel around again!" Mo Fan chuckled, seemingly lost in thought.

"???"

“National Team…are you members of the National Team?” Bobby asked.

“Yes, apart from this little girl, the three of us are all members of the Chinese National Team,” Mo Fan said, rubbing Lingling’s little head.

Bobby fell silent.

I feel like my worldview, outlook on life, values, and even my view of magic are about to collapse.

The reason is simple: how could this guy be a National Team player?
