Chapter 133: Frenzied Evolution and Overwhelming Defeat
Boros rapidly regenerated, but his spaceship wasn't as fortunate. The clash of energy between him and Chang Wei had completely devastated it—only the core of the energy hub remained intact.
"My ship is gone?"
Boros' lone eye widened in shock.
The spaceship was his only means of interstellar travel. No matter how powerful he was, even Boros needed a ship to traverse the cosmos.
Sure, his energy reserves were terrifyingly vast, but so what?
Biological beings inherently had flaws compared to machines—at least when it came to fatigue and durability, they weren't even in the same league.
Maybe Boros could sustain flight for a while with Meteoric Burst, but that technique burned through his lifespan. Did he have that much life to spare?
In other words, he was now stranded on this primitive planet. As for relying on its inhabitants to build a new spaceship?
The energy clash between him and Chang Wei had already wiped out over half of this planet's intelligent life. How long would it take for the survivors to develop the technology he needed?
Even if Boros could live for over four hundred Earth years, he seriously doubted this primitive world could produce a ship that met his standards!
"Damn it!!!"
Boros came here to fight, not to be trapped on some backwater planet. His fury surged.
"Meteoric Burst!!!"
In an instant, his entire body, previously shrouded in black, was bathed in a dazzling white light. His overwhelming energy engulfed him completely.
At the same time, he absorbed all the remaining energy from the core of the energy hub. With an opponent as monstrous as Chang Wei, there was a chance the hub would be destroyed—better to store the energy within himself.
Now, his terrifying energy fueled his every movement. His limbs no longer obeyed his nerves; they were purely propelled by energy.
Chang Wei's pupils contracted—he couldn't see him!
For the first time, he lost sight of Boros' movements. Even his psychic sense, which covered the entire planet and could track all physical activity, had lost its grasp on Boros.
"Boom!"
Chang Wei's body exploded into dust, obliterated by the sheer heat and plasma generated by Boros' motion.
Just the impact alone was enough to erase him.
"You bastard! Get up! How could someone this weak ever satisfy me?!!!"
Boros was seething.
"I'm here!"
Chang Wei's voice suddenly rang out, making Boros whip around in disbelief—just in time to meet a punch to the face!
"BOOM!!!"
The force of the punch drove Boros deep into the earth, straight down to the planet's core before he finally stopped.
Chang Wei had fully entered his warm-up state after reconstructing his body.
His cells operated on a molecular scale, and with the unique properties of the Divine Light Virus, along with his psychokinetic barrier cells' thermal radiation, mere molten temperatures and plasma weren't enough to destroy him.
At this point, it seemed like he was becoming harder and harder to kill.
And that wasn't even considering the hundreds of resurrection coins stored within the River of Death.
Light and heat radiated endlessly in all directions. The terrifying thermal and light radiation swept across the entire planet, wave after wave, capable of wiping out all life on land and in the sea.
Just by standing still, he could destroy the planet's entire ecosystem, alter its atmosphere, and vaporize all liquids—turning the world into a dead star.
It was akin to the planet-annihilating weapon in Ender's Game.
However, Chang Wei quickly enveloped the region with his psychokinetic power, restraining his destruction. He was genuinely worried he might accidentally blow up the Earth.
Zero had managed to protect most of humanity, but even it wasn't sure how long it could hold out. After all, it was merely a crystallization of Chang Wei's consciousness, nowhere near as powerful as he was.
Boros shot out from the planet's core at a staggering speed—over 100,000 kilometers per second.
Chang Wei showed no fear and charged straight at him.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Their speed vastly outpaced sound. In their perception, time itself seemed to halt. Every punch and kick carried the force to rend the heavens and split the earth.
But thanks to Chang Wei's psychic field blanketing the region, their devastation was buffered, preventing further harm to the planet.
They moved so fast that even without flight, they could step on air as if it were solid ground.
Chang Wei was now at a complete disadvantage—Boros' speed was simply too overwhelming.
With energy propelling his movements, Boros' speed had reached the reaction time of energy itself—perhaps even exceeding his own thoughts.
Chang Wei couldn't fathom how Boros was even processing things at this speed. Unless Boros had lightspeed reaction time…
But if he did, living at that speed should have made his everyday existence unbearably slow.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
Boros pummeled Chang Wei with a relentless barrage of punches, each impact accelerating him further.
He was sent flying at such a velocity that he escaped Earth's gravitational pull and was flung into space.
He was moving so fast that even he couldn't react in time—or rather, even if he did react, there was nothing he could do about it.
In an instant, he had already passed the Moon's orbit and was hurtling toward Venus' trajectory.
Chang Wei opened his mouth in a silent roar.
If this continued, he would keep accelerating indefinitely—until he finally crashed into something.
But behind him, Made in China had appeared.
Made in China: World!!!
Time came to a halt.
The Divine Light Virus surged with unprecedented activity—or rather, ever since he entered his warm-up state, it had never stopped.
It was expanding at an insane rate, forcing Chang Wei to evolve continuously, closing the gap between himself and Boros in both strength and speed.
And this was with Chang Wei deliberately suppressing it.
He didn't want to end up like the golden-masked monster, dying because his energy supply couldn't keep up with his consumption.
Even now, the energy drain nearly depleted his cells completely.
The Divine Light Virus was actually trying to evolve him to lightspeed!
That kind of energy demand… even dumping an entire sun into it wouldn't be enough.
And that wasn't even factoring in his nuclear fusion state.
Lightspeed movement meant infinite kinetic energy.
Infinite.
Chang Wei knew his limits—until he reached a single-universe scale of power, pursuing infinity was suicidal.
Even in stopped time, his body continued accelerating uncontrollably.
Forcing himself to halt, he released bursts of energy for counter-thrust while his body repeatedly shattered and repaired itself.
Made in China cracked apart alongside him, evolving as well.
Even time-stopping was extending in duration.
Now, there was only one way to win—
Force Boros to use his Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon!
