Defeated

"Can I ask you a question?" Old Wang asked, looking at the leader of the Painted-Skin Insect.

"Excuse me!"

"Why did you go through all this trouble to set up this scheme? Was it just to delay the construction of the Interstellar Route between humanity and the Mindscape?" Old Wang asked.

"Of course not. The Overmind has ordered that you be captured alive. That is the ultimate goal of our operation!" the Mutant Insect said.

"Capture me alive? Why?" Old Wang.

"Of course it's for... I've said enough, kid, just surrender!"

As the Mutant Insect spoke, its expression changed, clearly indicating that it had received a warning from the Overmind.

"Surrender? Those words don't exist in my dictionary!" Old Wang said with a laugh.

"That's not up to you!" The leader of the Painted-Skin Insect chuckled and then vanished before Old Wang's eyes.

Just as Old Wang was about to fly into the sky, the Illusion Realm around him changed.

These once ordinary, tall trees began to twist and contort, transforming into a giant cage that sealed Old Wang and the Mutant Insect together.

The space inside the cage was sealed off, and Old Wang's teleportation skill immediately became ineffective.

Some Mutant Insect began to spin Old Wang threads incessantly. These threads were neither afraid of water nor fire, and anyone who touched them would be firmly stuck.

Old Wang could only summon energy Force Field to shield himself, but there was another type of Mutant Insect present, which specialized in breaking through energy Force Field.

Old Wang didn't have a good solution for them at the moment, and as the trees twisted, the light on the battlefield grew dimmer and dimmer, soon turning into complete darkness.

Fortunately, Old Wang has night vision, so darkness doesn't affect him too much.

"Thunderbolt Barrage!!!"

Unwilling to endure the torment of the Mutant Insect, Old Wang chose to erupt. Endless Thunderbolt burst forth from the Lord of the Elements, cleansing the entire enclosed space.

But to his surprise, most of his Thunderbolt was absorbed by the trees, with only a small portion affecting the Mutant Insect.

This also meant that his attack was basically ineffective, only killing a few grunts.

Old Wang's heart sank when he saw this. After trying several more attacks, sure enough, all his magical energy was absorbed by the trees.

It seems the other party really came prepared!

"Stop your futile struggles! All your actions are in vain! This is Heavenly Net personally laid by the Overmind!" The Mutant Insect's voice came from around Old Wang.

Its unique Magic Power was eroding Old Wang's will to resist.

Fortunately, after several Mecha Evolution, Old Wang's Mental Power had grown considerably; otherwise, he would have surrendered by now.

Even though his Mental Power withstood the attack, Old Wang's current condition is not very good.

You can't guard against thieves forever if you're a thief for a thousand days!

Our ancestors have long taught us the lesson that prolonged defense inevitably leads to defeat. Although Old Wang had tried his best to defend, he was still hit in the hand and thigh by the silk thread attack.

After the two Mutant Insect hit him, they kept pulling and disrupting his condition, making it increasingly difficult for Old Wang to defend himself.

"You forced me to do this!"

Constantly distorting hatred and loathing

Destruction that can drown everything

An ominous sign of the coexistence of illusion and reality.

Desire as if in a dream

Despicable organs

Overturning life

Facing a pale world

Release greed, jealousy, fear...

All genuine emotions

The dark Abyss gazed upon by all living beings

The gate to the upside-down world without light

In my name, I command you to appear in this mortal world.

Open it!

Dark Abyss Gate!!!

Unable to defend against the attack, Old Wang has summoned the Dark Abyss Gate. He hasn't used this skill since Old Wang evolution, so he's not entirely sure about its effectiveness.

However, this attack will certainly not be absorbed, because the Dark Abyss Gate attack relies on its ability to absorb everything.

After Old Wang finished chanting, a giant door carved with various terrifying patterns descended from the sky, smashing all the trees that were trapping Old Wang to pieces.

Immediately afterwards, the gate opened directly, and the terrifying power that absorbed everything reappeared in the world.

On the battlefield, the Mutant Insect that were very close to the Abyss Gate were sucked directly into the Abyss, while some further away were desperately resisting.

While the gate to the Abyss remained open, Old Wang severed the threads binding him.

These Mutant Insect probably won't have much of a chance to resist, because the longer the Abyss Gate lasts, the stronger the suction will become.

But just when he thought the battle would continue like this, the leader of the Painted-Skin Insect made a move; it leaped directly toward the Dark Abyss Gate.

Its ventral foot extended directly into the center of the vortex of the Abyss gate, and a sound like shattering glass rang out; the Dark Abyss Gate had actually broken.

"So that's how it can be done!" Old Wang exclaimed in astonishment at the sight.

Just now, the leader of the Painted-Skin Insect concentrated its domain power on the toes of its feet, using this point to break through the surface and shatter the Dark Abyss Gate.

While the Dark Abyss Gate skill is powerful, it's not even a Legendary skill, so it's understandable that it was destroyed by a fully unleashed domain.

After shattering Old Wang's skill, the Mutant Insect leader did not stop. It spat out a stream of acid from its mouth, heading straight for Old Wang's face.

Old Wang dodged, but was still hit by a bit of acid.

This single point instantly halved Old Wang's Movement Speed, and the Mutant Insect's silk-spitting attacks came one after another. Fortunately, the Abyss Gate shattered the tree's blockade, and his teleportation skill was restored, allowing him to escape this calamity.

After Old Wang used the Potion to remove the negative status effect, his eyes were full of vigilance as he looked at the Mutant Insect leader.

This thing was one of the most troublesome enemies he had ever encountered; its multiplication and division methods, which he used without giving up, gave him a headache.

"No, what's really giving me a headache isn't him, but these silk-spitting things. Let's deal with these small fry first!"

Thinking of this, Old Wang gathered black and white energy in his hands and unleashed the "White and Black" Yin-Yang Twin-Color Slash once again.

The black and white slashes spun and crushed the minions behind the Mutant Insect leader, attempting to repeat its previous tactic to shatter the two attacks.

However, it discovered that its domain was sealed off and could not be controlled, because the white Holy Energy slash had the Special Ability to silence enemies.

The Mutant Insect leader was, after all, a true Legendary. He broke the silence and blockade with his domain burst, and then shattered the white slash.

However, the black slash still struck his subordinates, crushing some of the Mutant Insect to dust.

Old Wang, whose attack had been effective, did not stop. The Abyssal Energy in his hand erupted once more, and the pitch-black Abyssal Energy transformed into a rain of arrows that attacked the numerous Mutant Insect again.

These shrimp soldiers and crab generals were essentially functional cannon fodder in the battle between Old Wang and the Mutant Insect leader.

If the Mutant Insect leader hadn't been constantly guarding them, they would almost certainly have died if they had been hit by Old Wang's attack.

The sheer density of Old Wang's Abyssal Energy arrow rain was so great that the Mutant Insect leader was too preoccupied with its own survival to protect them.

Some special Mutant Insect burrowed Underground and escaped the calamity, but many more large Mutant Insect were directly Annihilation by Old Wang's attack.

Now only Old Wang and the Mutant Insect leader remained on the field, and finally it quieted down.

They exchanged a glance and then clashed again.

Old Wang had already activated Phoenix Mode and Elemental Rampage. The Lord of the Elements was riding an endless Elemental Torrent of elements, charging towards the Mutant Insect leader.

Although the Mutant Insect leader had activated its domain, it was still being forced to retreat steadily in the face of the Lord of the Elements in this mode.

The power of the Lord of the Elements exceeded its comprehension; to be his enemy was like being his enemy, making it utterly powerless to resist.

Finally, due to a mistake while withstanding an Elemental Impact, its defenses developed a vulnerability.

Old Wang immediately seized the opportunity, and the seven elements converged in his hand to form Elemental Sword.

"Elemental Godslayer Sword!!!"

With a loud roar from Old Wang, the seven-colored Elemental Sword struck the leader of the Mutant Insect squarely.

After the Elemental Sword struck him, it vanished instantly, and Old Wang leaped backward, disappearing from the battlefield.

After being struck by the Elemental Sword, the leader of the Mutant Insect remained frozen in place.

After a while, its body began to shatter, and seven-colored light burst forth from it.

Immediately following was a violent explosion, and the Mutant Insect leader turned to ashes and disappeared into the world.

Old Wang, without even using the area of effect granted by his skill, actually defeated a Legendary enemy head-on!
