Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 523 If you consider a battle as a game, absolute stats can disregard all skill!
King barely managed to steady himself, watching the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle flee in an instant as if facing a formidable enemy, his expression filled with surprise and a strange realization.

That speed, that power... it doesn't seem like an illusion!
Have I really become that strong?!

He subconsciously clenched his fist again, and the overwhelming sense of power beneath the bright yellow arm armor became even clearer!

In that case
King's gaze pierced through the mask, locking firmly onto the Asura rhinoceros beetle a hundred meters away, its muscles taut as if facing an abyss.

If we consider the battle as a game.

Therefore, in terms of basic stats such as "attack", "speed" and "defense", he is likely to completely overwhelm his opponent!

The only drawback might be insufficient "operational experience" and "skill familiarity".

But these things can all be "tested" out little by little in actual combat.

Thinking of "games," King felt a strange sense of calm.

He may be a novice when it comes to actual combat, but his strength lies in how to quickly master a new character and how to use the character's advantages to overwhelm his opponents!
Even if you don't know the skills or have any experience, there's one thing that's a universal truth in any game:
Absolute numerical values ​​can disregard all operations!
King's eyes instantly turned calm, and he slightly increased the pressure on his feet.

"boom!"

Another loud explosion!
He transformed once again into a yellow and black afterimage, shooting towards the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle!

This time, he deliberately controlled his strength and reduced unnecessary inertia. Although his movements were still slightly stiff, they carried a clear intention to attack!
"Roar!!!"

The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle's scarlet pupils contracted sharply, and that deadly threat surged in like a tsunami once again!

Its pure fighting instinct screams wildly!

He mustn't touch me! Absolutely mustn't touch me! Touching me means death!
Almost as a reflex, its massive body twisted violently to the side and rear with an agility that defied the laws of physics!
He even shoved his hands into the ground with all his might, using the force of the impact to narrowly avoid being hit by King's punch!
"Huh? You dodged it?"

King's attack missed its mark, and he stopped some distance away. Instead of being annoyed, he seemed to be deep in thought.

"You could use a lighter touch on your feet, and adjust the angle of your strike as well."

The Asura rhinoceros beetle, still shaken, was breathing heavily. The burning pain from the graze only confirmed its earlier assessment.

Absolutely must not be hit directly!
"Come again!"

King gave a low shout and launched another attack.

This time, he tried to channel less power into his legs, and although the speed was slower, it was still terrifying; at the same time, he was no longer limited to straight-line attacks, but began to try to fine-tune his direction while moving at high speed!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

For a time, sonic booms echoed continuously across the battlefield!
Yellow streaks of light attacked the enormous purple figure from all sorts of tricky angles!

The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle brought its fighting instincts to the extreme!
It devoted all its attention to anticipation, evasion, and escape.

Or, at the critical moment, he would sidestep and slide, kicking up a shower of rubble; or he would use the collapsed giant load-bearing pillar as cover to block the attack, and then use the force to propel himself forward the instant that King's punch blasted the pillar into dust.

Or, with the slightest difference, it might suddenly shatter the ground, drill into a crack, and then emerge from another pile of rubble dozens of meters away!

Its movements were wild and frantic, completely disorganized, yet every time at the last moment, it would rely on its keen sense of the threat of death to dodge that potentially fatal blow in an incredible way!
What? You're asking why it doesn't flap its wings and fly away to escape?

Because at this moment, Ivan Reznov was suspended in the sky like Thor!

If it dares to make the slightest attempt to take to the air, the raging thunderbolts, poised to strike, will descend like divine punishment, blasting it back to the ground.

Meanwhile, King's attacks became increasingly skillful!
In the process of chasing and punching, he seemed to have found a certain "feel" for the game. His speed control became more precise, his movement trajectory became more accurate, and he began to try different attack methods.

Straight punch, hook punch, leg strike!
Although his movements still seemed somewhat "clumsy" and lacked the refined style of a true fighter, the near-destructive power contained in each strike left shocking wounds on the ground with every missed attack!
The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle was finding it increasingly difficult to dodge, and the primal fear in its scarlet pupils was almost overflowing; it was like a desperate beast trapped in an arena, relying on its last instincts to carry out a futile, death-defying struggle in an ever-shrinking living space!

The light in King's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

In each seemingly missed attack, he was like a high-speed learning machine, constantly familiarizing himself with the subtle patterns in the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle's dodging movements and the reaction time his body received from its instinctive warnings.

"Now!" A crystal-clear "opportunity," like a QTE prompt in a game, suddenly appeared in King's perception!

He stopped chasing, his body suddenly stopped, and he firmly planted himself on the broken earth!

He slowly raised his right arm, his five fingers tightly clenched, and beneath the bright yellow arm guard, that world-destroying power began to gather wildly at an unprecedented concentration!
The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle felt an unprecedented sense of suffocation and death. It let out a mournful roar and, with its last instinct, retreated violently backward, trying to create distance!

But, it's too late!

King's waist slumped slightly, and the ground beneath his feet suddenly cracked!
Then, he poured all his strength, speed, and the absolute belief in "one punch to kill" from the depths of his soul into this punch, and threw it towards the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle!
Behind King, a bald phantom wearing a yellow jumpsuit, red boxing gloves, and a pure white cape appeared, striking a punch in perfect unison with King!
"Ordinary punch."

An extremely calm voice rang out in the air as King threw his fist.

But what these three seemingly casual words triggered was a terrifying scene far beyond the realm of "ordinary"—a scene akin to a natural disaster!
“Boom, boom!!!!”

A terrifying roar, as if hundreds of volcanoes were erupting simultaneously and billions of bolts of lightning were exploding at the same time, instantly swallowed up all the sounds in the world!

Before King threw his punch, the air was compressed to the extreme, forming a huge vacuum shockwave that was visible to the naked eye, milky white, and with dazzling electric light flashing at the edges!

The kinetic energy contained in this shock wave was so immense that light was violently distorted and refracted along its path!

The first to be hit is the Asura rhinoceros beetle!

Its massive, tough body, capable of withstanding missile bombardment, was as fragile as sand in a storm before this overwhelming force!
Before it could even make a sound, its skin, flesh, bones—everything that constituted its existence—was pulverized by the unimaginable force in a fraction of a second!
The shockwave from the punch continued unabated, like an invisible giant plow wielded by God, fiercely "plowing" the earth!
"Snap snap snap!!!"

The city of Novagrad below, already reduced to ruins, began to collapse madly under this punch.

Starting from King's fist, a terrifying chasm, hundreds of meters wide and bottomless, spread wildly toward the distant horizon at a speed that was impossible to detect with the naked eye!

Wherever the ravine passed, whether it was the remains of reinforced concrete or the hard rock layers, everything was instantly crushed into dust. The huge cracks stretched all the way to the end of the line of sight, as if the earth had been split in two!

Not just the earth.

The thick, leaden clouds that had gathered in the sky due to the fierce battle seemed to have been cleaved in two by an invisible giant sword!

A vast, wide "vacuum passage" stretched across the sky and was instantly formed, with the clouds on both sides of the passage being dispersed by the violent airflow!
The long-awaited sunlight streamed through the huge "crack," pouring unimpeded onto this land that had just experienced a catastrophe.

The entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence in an instant.

At this moment, King slowly withdrew his fist and looked at the scene he had created, which was like the beginning of the world and the reshaping of all things. He blinked subconsciously, and his expression under his armor looked somewhat bewildered.

"Uh, did I make this?"

"But isn't that a 'normal punch'?"

"Although I used a little more force, but..."

The words "ordinary punch" flowed from his mouth almost uncontrollably and naturally the moment he threw that punch.

Although it was a "normal punch," he actually used a little more force.

After all, his opponent was a monster with the strength of a Dragon, which even an S-class hero could not underestimate, so he naturally could not be careless.

So even though he truly felt the immense power contained within this form, and even though he was certain he could win, he didn't think he could so easily kill his opponent with a "casual punch"!
To be on the safe side, it's best to use a little more force and ensure a fatal blow!

but.
Isn't the effect caused by using "slight" extra force a bit too exaggerated?!
The aftershocks of the punch alone plowed out a massive abyss, seemingly endless, like a scar on the continent?!

Even the clouds in the sky were blasted open, creating a "passage"?!

What terrified King even more was that the punch he just delivered wasn't the limit of this form, or rather, for this form, it was really just a slight increase in power when he was just casually throwing it.

Thirty percent? Twenty percent? Or one percent? He didn't even think it was one percent.

His gaze involuntarily fell once again on his bright yellow armor and flowing white cloak. This form was terrifying!
But what exactly is this thing he's transformed into? And why does it possess such immense power?
Meanwhile, Ivan Reznov hovered in the air, gazing at the massive ravine below that had altered the terrain and the torn clouds in the sky, his lips twitching slightly involuntarily.
