Chapter 131: The Universe Overlord Breaks Down
This terrifying psychic power also caught Boros's attention. He could see telekinesis—after all, his eye structure was different from that of humans—and his race had an extraordinary sensitivity to energy.
"With such a level of psychic power... has Geryuganshoop already sacrificed himself?"
Boros felt his fighting spirit surge. He stretched his body and stood up—he could hardly wait any longer.
"This guy... how dare he pull off such a big spectacle while I was away?"
Chang Wei, on the other hand, sensed his own consciousness crystal. It appeared dazed in front of him, but who would've thought it was secretly flamboyant? As soon as he left, it went ahead and brought out Guyver, Strike Freedom Gundam, EVA Unit-01, and Ultraman Belial.
Of course, all of them were products of the Divine Light Virus. Unit-0 had used these creations to torment the aliens, while also making the people of the One Punch Man world realize that the Hero League's power far surpassed that of the Hero Association.
"I never expected this personality of mine to be so flamboyant. But it's definitely not me—this must be the consciousness crystal's doing," Chang Wei mused.
This won't do. Looks like I can't make future consciousness crystals look exactly like me.
After all, his face—handsome beyond words, exuding grace, brilliance, elegance, thick brows, sharp eyes, and an overall dashing demeanor (insert 3,000 more idioms here)—must not be sullied!
What if a goofy personality emerged?
At that thought, Chang Wei frowned.
"Nice to meet you. Welcome aboard my spaceship."
A towering shadow emerged from the hole Chang Wei had just blasted through. As the light illuminated the figure, Chang Wei finally saw its true form.
It was a one-eyed alien, resembling a cyclops. He had spiky, pale pink hair with bangs that fell naturally over his face. His sharp fangs and pointed ears were adorned with a row of silver earrings.
A massive blue eye dominated his face, and his light blue skin was covered in deep blue, crack-like markings that originated from his eye and spread across most of his body.
He wore spiked armor on his shoulders and forearms, along with curved boots to match. His lower body was clad in white, lantern-shaped pants, secured by a magenta belt with a silver-rimmed purple blade attached to it.
This was Boros, the leader of the Dark Matter Thieves—the Universe Overlord!
"So, you're their boss?"
Chang Wei hadn't expected Boros to come out personally.
"That's right! I am the leader of the Dark Matter Thieves, the overlord of the entire universe—Boros!"
Boros proudly introduced himself.
"The overlord of the entire universe, huh…"
Chang Wei's tone carried a hint of mockery.
"Tell me, Universe Overlord—do you even know how big the universe is?"
"What does that have to do with anything right now?"
Boros was puzzled.
"The universe is infinite—boundless. You call yourself the Universe Overlord, so tell me, how many intelligent planets do you rule? How many light-years does your territory span?"
Chang Wei couldn't help but continue his ridicule.
"I have roamed the cosmos for hundreds of years, traversed over a thousand planets, and even plundered alliances formed by multiple civilizations. To this day, no one has ever defeated me!"
Boros frowned and then spoke with pride.
"Only a thousand planets, and you call yourself the Universe Overlord? My friend, your claim is seriously inflated."
Chang Wei sneered.
Boros suddenly found himself at a loss for words.
"The Milky Way, based on human observations, contains between 100 billion and 400 billion stars. And that's just stars! Each star system has varying numbers of planets, not to mention countless asteroids. In an instant, the number of celestial bodies in the Milky Way alone skyrockets to the trillions."
Ignoring Boros's silence, Chang Wei continued his lecture.
"Your thousand planets wouldn't even make a ripple in this vast sea. Even if your spaceship could travel at the speed of light, the Milky Way has a diameter of about 900,000 light-years. It would take you roughly 30,000 years to fly across it at light speed. Universe Overlord, does your ship have warp capabilities? Can it exceed light speed? Or are you telling me it can't even reach light speed?"
Chang Wei pressed on.
Boros remained silent, feeling as if he had just been bombarded with incomprehensible facts.
"Wait—you can't even reach light speed? Then your range of activity is even smaller! How long is your species' lifespan? On Earth, we measure time like this…"
Chang Wei's tone grew even more disdainful.
"My species lives for around 400 Earth years. We have experienced countless battles…"
Boros immediately responded.
"Seriously? Just 400 years, and you call yourself the Universe Overlord? Your time in power is ridiculously short! You probably haven't even explored 1% of the Milky Way—maybe not even 0.01%! Without faster-than-light travel, most of your time is wasted in transit. Speaking of which, how long did it take your ship to reach Earth?"
Chang Wei asked.
"…Twenty years."
Boros was growing increasingly speechless, but he still answered.
"Twenty years, huh? Even if your ship travels at sub-light speed, that means the distance between us isn't that far—well within human observation range. And all those years… wasted just on traveling? You don't even have cryo-sleep technology? Forget leaving the Milky Way—you'd die of old age before you even crossed from one galactic arm to another!"
Chang Wei continued his verbal beatdown.
"And this is what you dare to call 'Universe Overlord'? At the very least, you'd need a lifespan of tens of thousands of years—preferably eternal life—plus wormhole-jumping technology, faster-than-light propulsion, and an active range spanning hundreds of galaxies to even begin competing for the title of Universe Overlord!
"But you? You're nothing more than a regional warlord in some backwater star system. I have never seen someone so shameless!"
At last, Boros snapped.
"Enough! I didn't come here to argue with you!"
Boros clenched his fists.
"None of that matters!"
Boros lunged forward.
"Tsk, tsk, already breaking down?"
Chang Wei blocked Boros's punch.
Both of them were already moving at supersonic speeds, and this was just their base speed. Boros had yet to enter his second stage, and Chang Wei hadn't even begun his warm-up.
Seeing his punch blocked, Boros's excitement surged.
This was it—this was what he had been seeking, not meaningless words.
The next moment, Chang Wei struck—his punch so fast that Boros could perceive it, but his armor-sealed body couldn't react in time.
A direct hit—right to the chest!
