A deafening buzz swept in from every direction, coming not only through the air but also burrowing into Shinji's mind.
Fortunately, Shinji had been prepared. Though he felt uncomfortable, he could still endure it.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Shinji let out a soft exclamation.
He had already noticed that the incoming bugs were larger and faster than before. What he hadn't expected was that, as the swarm drew closer, the gravity around him seemed to be changing.
Soon, he confirmed that the change in gravity around him came from the oncoming swarm, and understood at once. "It must be because I used 'Shinra Tensei' and 'Banshō Ten'in' too many times earlier. Bewitching Overlord has adapted!"
It was obvious.
After devouring five worlds belonging to the World Destruction Society, Bewitching Overlord had not only continued to grow in strength, but also seemed to be evolving specifically to counter Shinji.
The swarm before him was a case in point. The gravity emitted by each individual bug was weak, but once they gathered in a group, those weak forces combined into a terrifying gravitational tide.
Under the influence of this gravitational tide, Shinji's 'Shinra Tensei' and 'Banshō Ten'in' wouldn't become completely ineffective, but their effects would be greatly reduced.
That wasn't even the most important part. The gravitational tide would also interfere with 'Planetary Devastation', preventing Shinji from easily using it to seal the swarm and buy time.
"Hmph!"
Once he understood Bewitching Overlord's intent, Shinji gave a soft snort, then flashed forward to meet the swarm.
He shot across the world like a streak of rainbow light, plunging into the endless swarm like a dazzling meteor.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, a string of blinding flashes erupted within the swarm, accompanied by one deafening explosion after another!
The battle reached its peak the
