Wizard: I Can Refine Everything

The battlefield suddenly fell silent, both the Galaxy Mayflies and Wizards stared at the sky in astonishment.

"Is this... the Quasi-Emperor's strategy? It must be a strategy!"

The thoughts of the Galaxy Mayflies surged within the Mind Network, just a moment ago, the gigantic Mayfly Quasi-Emperor was struck by a black lightning and flew backward like a shooting star!

Countless fragments of the shell scattered with body fluid in the air, falling like raindrops.

"Oh? Is it also the Life and Death Cycle?"

Richard gazed at the distant Mayfly Quasi-Emperor, who was absorbing Death Energy to continually restore its body, a trace of intrigued smile appeared on his face.

In his hand, the gigantic Titan's Hammer was adorned with countless runes shining like stars.

"It seems this time I can fight to my heart's content."

Meanwhile, the compound eyes of the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor fixed intently on the Titan's Hammer in Richard's hand.

"Boundary Annihilation Stone weapon, probably a relic of the King of Titans, looks like I encountered tough opposition this time."

With the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor's knowledge, he could naturally recognize a weapon like the Titan's Hammer.

The signature Boundary Annihilation Stone material, few creatures in the entire World Community could wield it with ease. And this wizard in front, though the hammer was gigantically transformed, its exact weight was indefinable.

But judging by the impact felt, this hammer's mass was definitely equivalent to that of a giant mountain range.

Even for him, wielding such a mass required full strength.

Without giving the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor much chance to catch his breath, Richard took a step and appeared before him.

To the creatures on the ground, Richard appeared like a massive black storm, his every move accompanied by resounding thunder.

"Take another hit from my hammer!"

With that, the runes on the Titan's Hammer shone brightly, as if containing the overwhelming power of the Heavenly Vault.

Even though the Titan's Hammer had a built-in space anchoring effect, cracks began to constantly appear in the surrounding space.

Bang!

Accompanied by a roar almost like that of a furious dragon's, the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor was sent flying backward again.

However, this time, the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor was not as embarrassed as the first time.

Suddenly, an armor appeared on his body, judging by its style, it seemed crafted by the Furnace Men.

"You're not the only one with civilization relics, Wizard."

The Mayfly Quasi-Emperor's form slightly shifted, his upper body instantly transformed into a humanoid shape, only his head retained the Mayfly appearance.

No help for it, besides the Supreme, the other two races in the Civilization Alliance are humanoid, thus their relics are prepared for humanoid creatures.

But for the World Master of Physique Evolution, changing form was merely a basic ability.

"You think putting on a turtle shell will let you win?"

Richard sneered disdainfully, his body appeared before the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor again, fiercely striking down with his hammer.

A turtle shell might bully creatures of Spiritual Evolution, but against a Physique Evolution Wizard like Richard, it could only make him die a bit slower.

Bang!

The Mayfly Quasi-Emperor's body flew backward again, but this time the distance was even shorter than before.

The Rule Power within the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor circulated constantly, his form hadn't stopped when a tentacle lashed out like a furious dragon.

Richard blocked with his horizontal hammer, but was still struck by the tentacle.

Snap!

A blood mark nearly ten meters long was drawn across Richard's chest, ghostly green alien energy drilled into Richard's flesh like worms.

Wherever they passed, the flesh twisted, mutated, then explosively shattered.

"Energy capable of inducing life deformities, an exploration of the Life Rule?" Richard glanced at the changes in his wounds, contemplating.

Soon after, the Power of Abyss surged within Richard, like an ocean deep and dark, instantly shredding these alien energies.

Before the Power of Abyss, such forces posed no threat at all.

Nonetheless, it was an inspiration for Richard. Bearing the Life Rule and Transformation Rule, he could certainly produce this kind of unique energy.

"Seems like another learning opportunity."

Richard watched the Quasi-Emperor, his greedy gaze made the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor shiver.

"What does this guy want to do to me? Why does he have that look in his eyes?"

A chill ran through the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor's heart, then his tentacles twisted together like a group of snakes, transforming into four sturdy whip-like tentacles.

Next moment, the Heavenly Vault shattered.

The four tentacles enfolded four different alien energies, darting toward Richard like venomous snakes. Their speed exceeded even the velocity of light, resorting to using the Power of Dimension to dodge under the veil.

Boom!

The four sounds merged into one, Richard swung his hammer blocking two tentacles, but the remaining two he could only resist with his body.

Though growing four hands was no challenge for him, the side effects of youth were reflected here.

Richard lacked the practice and instinct for fighting with four hands, even if two additional hands grew, to a more experienced same-level adversary, they were more a flaw than an advantage.

Sss...

The black blood on the tentacles continuously evaporated into a black vapor. Under the corrosion of the Power of Abyss, the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor's expression changed. He hurriedly withdrew his tentacles and severed the corroded parts.

"Damn it, the Power of Abyss! Is the Abyss allied with the Wizard Civilization Alliance? No, this Wizard has transformed into an Abyss Demon!"

Realizing Richard's prowess, a trace of horror flashed in the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor's eyes.

He hadn't expected that a creature would willingly infect itself into an Abyss Demon for the sake of power.

This was truly... purely straightforward!

The horror in the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor's heart instantly transformed into admiration. To a Physique Evolution creature, strength was always his pursuit.

Anything that hindered his empowerment was cumbersome, was impurity!

In order to become stronger, he abandoned his partner, his friends, and even his clan. He thought that in doing so, he had become something pure.

But now, he realized that his purity was still lacking.

In this world, there are even those who can abandon their race just to become stronger.

"Even wizards who can abandon their race are accepted. Wizards truly are a terrifying clan. So... you must be destroyed!"

The Mayfly Quasi-Emperor swung his tentacles again, but this time, instead of striking at Richard, he tore open a rift in the void leading beyond the veil.

The surface Material World was a restraint for them; only beyond the veil could they truly unleash their combat power.

"Beyond the veil, is it? I'll accompany you."

Without hesitation, Richard opened a rift leading beyond the veil using the Power of Abyss.

In the next moment, the two colossal beings suddenly vanished from everyone's sight.

"Truly strong."

In the fortress, a Wild Beastman looked at the sky and couldn't help but sigh.

Beside him, an Alchemy Wizard swiftly repaired the parts and inserted them into the turret.

"Asu, stop sighing, we need to get to the next shooting chamber."

Urged on, the Wizard glanced at the sky, revealing a trace of longing in the depths of his eyes.

"Is this what it means to be a powerhouse that can influence the development of civilizations? How wonderful."

...

Beyond the veil, the two colossal beings tangled with each other like storms.

The Mayfly Quasi-Emperor's ghostly green tentacles left deep bone-revealing scars on Richard with every swing.

But these scars often healed almost completely the moment they appeared.

Richard's Titan's Hammer, although often missing, would dim the Quasi-Emperor's armor with each hit that connected.

Though Richard's Bloodline was not yet fully integrated, he was already considered a Titan.

He could perfectly wield the full functionality of the Titan's Hammer and the Titan Hammer Technique he had refined.

With the support of the Eye of Truth, each strike of his hammer caused the structural foundation of the armor's material to tremble and left behind "stress."

These stresses might seem inconspicuous, but once they accumulated sufficiently, Richard could shatter the armor in one strike, delivering a severe blow to the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor.

Rumble!

Behind the veil, the two colossal beings had surpassed the speed of light, each move carrying great power.

If this were in the Material World, they might as well be invisible.

Because all surveillance methods based on the surface material world cannot exceed the speed of light.

"Ha! Delightful!"

Richard laughed heartily, feeling his cells becoming more active in battle, even accelerating the integration of his Bloodline.

Though his Abyss Evolution Tree had been integrated by the Titan, the underlying logic of abyssal battle evolution had not disappeared, just become deeper and more concealed.

Now, as Richard fought fiercely, this underlying logic was activated again, operating with effects a thousand-fold greater than before!

Compared to Richard, the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor's state was somewhat dire.

Although he also fought with vigor, the corrosive nature of the Power of Abyss still restricted him greatly.

Though he admired Richard's willingness to "abandon" race to become stronger, he obviously could not do the same.

The Galaxy Mayflies valued Bloodline and Race immensely.

This was something the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor could not and dared not abandon!

"Tweet!"

The Mayfly Quasi-Emperor suddenly emitted a piercing insect chirp, and the energy fluctuations within him surged to a peak never reached in the entire battle.

He was mobilizing the Mayfly contribution, intending to end this fight.

"Ending it? Come! Let me see your full strength!"

Richard's face bore a wild grin, filled only with the will to fight.

At this moment, calculations, plots, the threat of the Civilization Devourer... everything was cast aside.

His mind and body were wholly invested in the battle!

Countless runes surfaced on his body, with the Power of Abyss surging like a river within him.

At this moment, his cells seemed to turn demonic, wildly devouring the Energy Crystals stored ordinarily.

In just an instant, the energy Richard absorbed exceeded ten million Magic Essence!

The next moment, he swung the Titan's Hammer in his hand, the hammerhead with a weight akin to a colossal mountain, striking towards the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor at superluminal speed.

The power of this strike was enough to annihilate a Quasi-Emperor!

Boom!

A brilliant light akin to a supernova explosion erupted between the two.

The aftermath of the attack swept over the entire area behind the veil like waves and even caused a faint ripple on the World Barrier.

"Truly delightful."

As the light faded, the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor let out a weak insect chirp.

At this moment, his enormous body was reduced to a single golden Heart of Mayfly.

As the strongest Quasi-Emperor among the Galaxy Mayflies, this was the first time he ended up in such a state.

Opposite him, Richard fared slightly better — he had two hearts remaining.

The spiritual power of the two Level 6 Creatures clashed, then they tacitly tore through space, each returning to their own domain.

Mutual destruction? Only a fool would do that.
