The Battle Against Youji
The creation of the unique unit, Youji, changed the previously united Swarm.
Previously, the Swarm Overmind only one independent entity, the Brain Bug also Intelligence, they were extensions of the Overmind's will.
They share the same Mindscape, so they cannot be considered independent individuals.
However, Youji is different from all of them; she is a complete and independent entity, just like the Overmind.
Even her will wasn't connected to the Swarm, which made the Brain Bug full of suspicion towards her.
If it weren't for its immense power and the backing of an Overmind, it might have already been devoured by the Brain Bug.
The Youji that Huang Rui transformed into is a highly Intelligence unit, so of course she knows what these things are thinking.
But it was helpless; the Brain Bug, under the influence of the Overmind will, could not move it, and similarly, it could not move these Brain Bug.
However, given its utter defeat today, it may be able to gain further control over the Swarm, provided it can defeat the person in front of it.
"Your energy level is very high. I can give you an eternal chance. By embracing the Overmind, you will gain endless life and immense power!" Youji said as she walked up to the Old Wang.
"Huang Rui, you really don't remember anything? Your grandfather was General Huang Ming, your grandmother..."
"Enough!" When Old Wang mentioned General Huang Ming, Youji's mental energy surged, causing her a splitting headache. She immediately stopped Old Wang.
But when Old Wang saw that it worked, he was even less likely to stop.
But just as he was about to introduce General Huang to the other party, Youji had already summoned the transformed Sky-Covering Wings Mecha and flew towards Old Wang.
He quickly dodged, then used the same ice magic as before to try and bind Youji.
But Youji is different from those two Brain Bug; at level 30, she can use Psionic Energy at will.
A Psionic Energy ray burst forth from its hand, neutralizing Old Wang's frost ray.
This method of using energy stunned the onlookers. Wasn't it an offensive skill? Why could it also be used for defense?
However, Old Wang wasn't surprised at all. He knew Huang Rui was talented, and he wasn't afraid of Huang Rui competing with him in skills.
If the Freezing Ray couldn't freeze it, then two rays would hit; if two rays couldn't freeze it, then four rays would hit. When Old Wang's skills flew towards Youji, the mage Brain Bug finally realized that he hadn't been serious at all.
However, Youji remained completely calm, and a field of her Psionic Energy appeared out of thin air, intercepting all of Old Wang's numerous skills.
However, what it didn't notice was that among all the skills in the sky, a golden arrow silently arrived and shattered the Psionic Energy barrier.
This unexpected turn of events caught Youji off guard, and she was struck squarely in the chest by the arrow of light.
Although the skill's damage was significantly reduced after being blocked by the Psionic Energy barrier, it found itself silenced.
However, since he had never fought against it before, Old Wang didn't know much about the Sky-Covering Wings Mecha.
After a black mist appeared around it, the Mecha not only broke its silence but also disappeared from everyone's sight.
Old Wang cast several Flash spells targeting Stealth units, but still couldn't spot him.
The atmosphere on the battlefield was somewhat oppressive, and Old Wang focused intently on sensing his surroundings.
The perception boost from the Mind Gem gave Old Wang a significant advantage against these invisible enemies, but for some reason, Old Wang couldn't sense any trace of them.
Just as his heart began to pound wildly, Old Wang teleported away from his spot, narrowly avoiding a spike of Psionic Energy that shot out from the Void.
"Is that a subspace Stealth skill? Isn't he a magic-type Mecha?" Old Wang had seen Huang Rui in action before, and he clearly remembered that she was a magic-type Mecha.
But its Mecha hasn't changed much; it's actually become an assassin.
"Sir, this is the advanced characteristic of the enemy Mecha [Survival of the Fittest]. The Sky-Covering Wings will change the Mecha's class according to the battlefield situation," Zero explained to Old Wang.
"Survival of the Fittest of the fittest? Does it always mean the fittest? But the Assassin Mech doesn't counter me at all!" Old Wang said calmly.
Just as Old Wang was speaking, the dark energy spikes pierced him from behind again.
This time, he didn't dodge. Instead, he summoned his Wish-Fulfilling Golden-Hooped Rod) and swung it at his opponent.
"It's just a blood exchange, huh!" He didn't believe that the other person's stats at level 30 would be higher than his.
After being stabbed by the hidden dagger, Old Wang used his staff to knock Youji back a great distance. After the two separated, Old Wang compared the health loss of both sides.
It's impossible for Youji to deal more damage than him, but although he was slightly ahead, the damage they received wasn't that different.
At the same time, Old Wang was also given a negative status effect.
[Psionic Energy Lurk 1]: When the lurking Psionic Energy reaches 9 stacks, it will burst out, dealing True Damage equal to 50% of the target's health.
Note: Youji's exclusive skill
So, in this blood transfusion, Old Wang still ended up losing out, and he dared not trade with the other party again.
If his Psionic Energy stealth reaches level nine, he will lose immediately, and his nine attacks cannot reduce the opponent's health by 50%.
But Old Wang wasn't in a hurry. He Void in the direction of Youji, and a huge halo surrounded her. Then the halo contracted and pulled her towards him.
Youji tried to use the same trick again, disappearing, but her skill failed, and she was sent directly to Old Wang.
In a short while, it was overwhelmed by Old Wang's countless skills, and what's worse, Old Wang never stopped.
Just when everyone thought Old Wang had it in the bag, a burst of Psionic Energy shot into the sky, interrupting Old Wang's attack and pushing him away.
After the energy dissipated, Youji, radiating a dark aura, appeared there.
"It's really impressive that you forced me to use this state. Now I'll give you another chance."
Surrender or die, or both!
Youji, radiating dark energy, floated in the sky and asked.
"Why don't you say to let the flames purify everything?" Old Wang said, smiling at Youji.
"Okay! I know your choice!"
After speaking, Youji vanished from the spot. This time, it wasn't Stealth; it was simply too fast.
"If you won't tell me, then I will!"
Let the flames purify everything!!!
After Old Wang roared, the red Orb among the seven Elemental Orbs flew out and embedded itself in his chest.
The Lord of the Elements instantly turned fiery red, and flames erupted from his body, incinerating everything around him.
This skill is a variant of Elemental Rampage that Old Wang, with the help of these elements, comprehended after gaining Intelligence. It allows only one Elemental Rampage.
The duration of Elemental Rampage is only ten seconds, but if he allows only one Elemental Rampage, this duration can be extended to half an hour.
However, relatively speaking, he can only use Fire Element skills, and the bonuses are somewhat reduced.
The Lord of the Elements, now in Flame Element form, was surrounded by a lifelike Blazing Divine Dragon, making it almost impossible for Youji to get close.
While Psionic Energy can block heat, it depends on the type of temperature.
Flames shot out from Old Wang's hand, and it could only dodge or retaliate with Psionic Energy.
The clash between the two intensified, and the flames and Psionic Energy began to affect the surrounding Player and Mutant Insect.
Now, it's not that Youji wants to get close to Old Wang anymore; it's that Old Wang is riding the Blazing Divine Dragon to hunt her down.
Youji was forced to retaliate using an energy sword made of Psionic Energy. Neither side had any special skills; it was simply a clash of Sword and forces.
Although the two appeared to be evenly matched, the high temperature caused Youji to lose health constantly.
Although its health isn't dropping very quickly, its defeat is inevitable if this continues.
Its situation took a sharp turn for the worse!
"Who exactly are you?" Youji asked incredulously as she defended against the Old Wang's attacks.
Even though she was born after absorbing the genes of Ten Thousand Races and the energy of a Planet, Youji was no match for her opponent.
"A Chinese!" Old Wang.
Youji: "???"
Everyone: "..."
Youji: "You dare to play me! Die!"
Perhaps Old Wang had angered it, for a burst of blue energy, completely different from the Psionic Energy energy it had used earlier, erupted from its body.
Flames, rocks, and everything that had impacted it all froze before it, then turned back towards Old Wang.
Old Wang erected a Flame Shield to block these things, thus avoiding being injured by their counterattack.
"This is spiritual energy!"
The two Advanced Brain Bug were utterly shocked by what they witnessed.
The Overmind had always said that its spiritual energy talent was extremely strong, and it turned out to be true. This was beyond description; even all of their Brain Bug combined at level 30 didn't possess this kind of power!
