Wizard: I can refine all things.

Chapter 740 Battle Against a Quasi-Emperor

On the battlefield, a white giant, as massive as a mountain, walked across the land.

Behind him, a tidal wave of wizarding legions surged forward. In the sky, there were massive formations of small floating cities and swarms of warships like sharks.

Wizards are never good at defense.

hum!

A beam of light, as large as a pillar of heaven, struck Richard.

A 100,000-level mayfly battle group responsible for covering the rear exhausted all its energy, even burning its body to ashes, transforming into this 100,000-level attack.

But this fierce counterattack landed on Richard, yet it was as silent as a phantom.

The area hit by the beam of light was charred black, but the next second, new bone tissue repaired it.

For creatures with evolved physiques, this kind of "one-shot" attack is hardly a concern. If it cannot be sustained, even if the attack is ten times stronger, it will only be a matter of consuming more energy.

Li glanced at the burning mayfly battle group, and suddenly a few holy lights emanated from his body.

The next moment, a river of souls appeared. These souls should have entered the mayfly dimension, becoming part of the mayfly's contribution. But under the influence of the rules of the underworld, this river of souls suddenly gained a tributary.

Of the 100,000 souls, hundreds were drawn by the rules of the underworld and became Richard's external fuel reserves.

Although the rules of the Underworld could attract more, Richard understood that his actions were competing with the Ephemeral Dimension for food. A small amount could be explained by the dissipation of his soul, but a large amount would inevitably attract the attention of the Ephemeral Dimension.

Richard was strong, but he was only a fifth-ring Archmage. There were many who could kill him on the battlefield.

He has no reason to put himself in danger for such a small benefit.

Moreover, given the intensity of the previous front lines, even if he only obtained less than one percent of the souls, he would still accumulate nearly one hundred million souls over the course of a year.

The number was so large that Richard even considered using these souls to create several undead creatures at the level of world rulers as his pets.

Suddenly, Richard stopped in his tracks.

His eyes suddenly turned to the North Pole, his gaze seemingly able to see the astonishing sight of the world's North Pole across millions of miles.

Richard muttered to himself, "These bugs' technology... is a bit insane."

In the Arctic, the enormous Nest of Expedition slowly rose. This behemoth, with a diameter of over twenty kilometers, gradually transformed in the air, eventually becoming an asteroid-like insect.

The Alchemist Wizard's technique of fusing alchemical machinery into his own body is also available on the Star River Mayfly's side.

However, unlike the other way around, the Star River Mayfly did not simplify it. Instead, they combined it with their unique technology and turned it into a skill exclusive to the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor – the Mother Nest Armament.

However, the mayfly kings were not fond of this unappealing name; they preferred to call the technology "Royal Chariot."

The terrifying fluctuations of the imperial carriage instantly spread throughout the entire western battlefield. At the same moment, both the King of Mayflies and the Great Wizard looked towards the North Pole of the world.

"This bug really doesn't cooperate at all."

The Annihilation Storm Archmage looked at the North Pole of the world, sighed, and shook his head.

He was hoping to develop a telepathic connection with the insect, so that if it didn't move, neither would he, and he would let the people below attack it.

They are all level six beings, the pinnacle of most creatures, why fight to the death?

But it's too late to say anything now.

If the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor makes a move, then this sixth-ring Grand Wizard must also be mobilized.

The Annihilation Storm Archmage suddenly disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already in the sky above the command center.

Four enormous spatial rifts unfolded in the air, resembling four giant eyes. Behind these eyes lay the four elemental domains.

Pure elements from the elemental realms surged into the rule-bound body of the Annihilation Storm Archmage like rivers flowing into the sea.

His smoke-like body expanded to several kilometers in size in an instant.

The smoky form transformed into an aged face, and a thunderous voice emanated from its mouth.

"The shell is quite large, but I don't know if it's made of cast iron or paper."

……

"Continue the advance."

Richard gave the order to the legion.

The mayfly quasi-emperor will handle the situation with the sixth-ring grand wizards; these lowly soldiers only need to fulfill their duties.

hum!

A flash of light suddenly shot out from the void, instantly vaporizing Richard's head.

Immediately afterwards, several figures emerged from the void, each carrying a terrifying pressure as large as a mountain.

"It seems to be nothing special."

The mayfly king, having launched its attack, let out a chirping sound, its voice filled with disdain.

But before its voice could fade, Richard's headless, enormous body appeared before him.

"I knew it, some idiot would definitely aim for my head and attack."

boom!

Richard unleashed a punch, the fist's energy, imbued with the power of the abyss, instantly piercing through the Mayfly King's body of rules.

The dark red abyssal power spread unchecked within the body of the rules, like ink.

The mayfly kings were stunned by this sight and momentarily forgot to attack.

While the head is not a fatal weakness for a world master, it is undeniable that as the controller of the body, its destruction significantly weakens even a world master with evolved physiques in terms of control over their body.

But what they saw completely overturned their understanding.

Seeing their companions being wantonly corrupted by the power of the abyss, the mayfly king finally reacted.

"Hurry up, this guy's control center isn't inside his head!"

Richard turned to look at the mayfly king, whose enormous eye opened on his chest, and below that eye, a gaping maw filled with sharp teeth grinned menacingly:

"Smart, but smart people often don't live long."

The mayfly king is absolutely right; his brain is indeed not inside his skull. As a human, he knows all too well how obvious a head is.

During its evolution, it deliberately changed the position of its brain. This was to prevent being ambushed and having its head suddenly knocked off, causing it to lose control of its body.

The mayfly king was terrified by this look, and the short hairs on his body stood on end.

"Kill him!" he shrieked.

In an instant, all the mayfly kings used their best skills.

Two million energy level elemental flames, a highly potent poison capable of killing a level five creature, and a cursed creature that cannot be killed without knowing the rules...

If these things were to actually hit him, even if Richard's combat power had reached the level of a level six creature, he would perish on the spot.

But before these attacks could land, Richard's body transformed into a ball of faith power with a "bang".

"Miracle is a useful thing."

Richard's body suddenly appeared from the void, and the fist light wrapped in the power of the abyss instantly pierced through the one among the mayfly kings who possessed the mysterious power.

This is the only mayfly king present who can see through the miracle. Once he is dealt with, the remaining mayfly kings will be nothing more than a matter of how much effort Richard will expend.

As the power of the abyss relentlessly invaded the Mayfly King's body of rules, Richard's newly grown head revealed a sinister smile.

The terrifying aspect of the Abyss lies in its ability to "turn enemies into friends." Any creature corrupted by the Abyss into a demon, no matter how strong its will, will instantly become its minions.

If the mayfly king is completely corrupted, he will instantly regard the abyssal demons as his own civilization.

At that time, all the information he had come across during his time as King of the Mayflies would be of use to Richard.

As the Blessed One of the Abyss, Richard is second only to the Overlord among the demons of the Abyss.

But before Richard could finish his smile, a deadly sense of danger sent chills down his spine.

hum!

A flash of light suddenly shot out from the void.

It passed right through the spot Richard had just been in. If he hadn't dodged in time, that flash of light would have instantly vaporized half of his body.

Richard suddenly looked westward, where the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor was already engaged in battle with the Annihilation Storm Grand Wizard. But to Richard's surprise, the Annihilation Storm Grand Wizard was actually being suppressed by the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor.

So much so that the mayfly quasi-king even had time to support other mayfly kings.

Richard's face showed a hint of seriousness. Although the lower-level battlefields were important in this war, the outcome was ultimately determined by the results of the upper-level battlefields.

If one side loses on the upper battlefield, the other side will inevitably fall into a disadvantage on the lower battlefield, or even lose out directly.

"No, we have to deal with these guys quickly."

Richard made a decision in his mind: he had to help the Annihilation Storm Wizard.

Although he is currently only at the fifth ring, after the blessing of the abyss, dimensional sorcery, alchemical enchantment, and triple enhancement, reaching the combat power of a level six creature in a short period of time is not a problem.

Once he reaches level six combat power, he will not be instantly killed by the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor.

If he can't kill her instantly, then that's enough to get Richard involved in the fight.

After thinking for a moment, Li looked at the mayfly king beside him. Under his gaze, the mayfly kings even felt a chill run down their spines.

It felt like being targeted by a natural enemy.

Richard said softly, "Gentlemen, I'm in a hurry. If you want to live, you'd better run now. Otherwise..."

"It's too late."

……

The sunlight was dim, and thunder roared.

In the dark gray storm, lightning darted about like a snake.

Within this storm, endless elements ceaselessly undergo annihilation reactions. The energy, like ocean tides, swirls and roams within the storm, ultimately transforming into magical energy that shoots outwards towards the giant worm, which resembles an asteroid.

"Wizard, I overestimated you."

The mayfly quasi-emperor, resembling an asteroid, let out a low, insect-like chirp.

"Once you use the imperial chariot, you are no match for me."

An old man's face appeared on the massive storm, his eyes wide with rage, the flames of anger almost tangible.

He shouted loudly, his voice like a thousand bells ringing at once.

"You overestimate yourself, you little bug. I admit, I can't beat you. But so what if I can't?"

All I need to do is stall you.

"By holding you back, we can win this war."

"Stop me?"

The mayfly quasi-emperor's voice carried a hint of mockery.

"You can't hold me back, and you can't win this war."

As he spoke, dimensional power surged through his body, the power transformed from the death of countless mayflies, flowing into his body like a tidal wave.

"Wizard, you're doomed in this war... huh?"

The mayfly quasi-emperor suddenly looked to the east, where a tiny creature was rapidly approaching him.
