Simultaneous travel: City, infinite evolution

Chapter 693 Spiritual Collapse: The Mathematician Usurper

"Oh?"

"That's interesting."

Seeing the devastating fluctuations, even causing the magical particles in the air to collide and annihilate each other, Chen Hong finally showed a smile after a long time.

"Let me see if your attack can break through my defense."

"【Universal Barrier - World Membrane】!"

With a wave of his hand, Chen Hong enveloped him in a complex barrier composed of multiple layers, like a thick crystalline wall.

Furthermore, the condensation of multiple barriers mimics the structure of the world's womb, causing its defensive capabilities to increase dramatically.

The spiritual energy collapse spell array fully unfolded, condensing into a dazzling golden pillar of light that crashed down from above.

It looked like a sacred pillar of divine punishment.

Wherever it went, all magic particles and soul particles were annihilated.

This is the most powerful anti-human magic, a beam of light that completely destroys everything from atoms to souls, reaching the speed of light, penetrating all barriers, and impossible to defend against.

No matter how overpowered Rimuru and other powerful beings' skills are, as long as they are still based on magic essence, they cannot defend against this attack from the Honkai Spirit Particle.

This attack destroyed the very foundation of the extraordinary—magic essence.

It was a strike that could be described as utterly devastating.

Unfortunately, when this beam of light encountered the world's membrane, it created ripples that attempted to destroy its magical elements and disintegrate its structure.

Unfortunately, it ultimately failed and was blocked.

Because Chen Hong's omnipotent barrier, World Membrane, contains more than just magic elements.

Its foundation lies in the power of spacetime and all laws.

This is an existence that even the collapse of spiritual particles cannot shake.

Seeing Chen Hong unharmed, Hinata Sakaguchi remained silent for a moment before directly admitting:

"I lost."

"You are very strong, really very strong."

"I am no match for you."

"There are probably very few people in this world who can beat you."

"As the victor, you can do whatever you want to me, come on!"

"I'm ready!"

Chen Hong: ? ? ?

Chen Hong was completely dumbfounded as he looked at Hinata Sakaguchi, who had closed his eyes, spread his arms, gritted his teeth, and looked like he was ready to die.

"Girl, are you awake?"

Did they pick up the wrong script?

Hinata Sakaguchi opened her eyes, her cheeks flushed red, and she was so embarrassed that she dug her toes into the ground.

"Didn't you fight me because you wanted the spoils?"

Hinata Sakaguchi looked confused; in her opinion, winning spoils after a victory was a matter of course.

Whether it's this world or the so-called civilized urban world of the past, the underlying logic is the same.

Chen Hong's lips twitched: "No need, I've already gotten what I wanted."

In fact, Chen Hong did receive it.

In the process, he thoroughly examined Hinata Sakaguchi from the inside out, analyzing all her abilities.

This includes ultimate moves such as [Spiritual Collapse] and [Seven-Colored End Sting], as well as ultimate skills such as [Mathematician] and [Usurper].

The Mathematician's excellent combat calculation ability was incorporated into the King of Wisdom's ability, further enhancing His calculation, deduction, and combat support capabilities, marking another small evolution.

The Usurper can directly seize the abilities of another, without needing analysis. However, this forced seizure will permanently deprive the other party of the ability that was taken from them.

Furthermore, the Usurper forcibly seizes the monsters or spirits commanded by the opponent, essentially taking away their summoned creatures.

Similar to the [Spirit Binding] skill, it forcibly seizes the opponent's spirit or soul.

It is the bane of summoning-type characters.

Chen Hong fused the [Usurper] into the [King of Gluttony], giving him the ability to directly and forcibly usurp skills and spirits.

Of course, you can also choose not to usurp it, but instead devour a portion and copy the skill.

Alternatively, one could use the concept of "King of Wisdom" to analyze it, without harming anyone.

Having gained a lot from Rimuru's world, Chen Hong plans to go back first, digest his experiences, and improve his strength.

Once Rimuru is fully fed, I'll come back and copy another batch.

The protagonist's task is simple: go through a series of major events and level up their skills.

Chen Hong had many more things to consider.

All you have to do is wait for the time to come and copy it for free, then take advantage of the fast track and upgrade together.

The protagonist levels up = I level up!

The protagonist getting stronger = me getting stronger!

Is this the joy of being a behind-the-scenes boss?

There's definitely a lot to consider.

Chen Hong used his Stand user, [Avatar], to create a projected avatar that remained in this world as an anchor point.

Then, using the power of the shared space's Primordial Great Dao Mother Tree, this world is slowly pulled towards the chaotic region where the miniature multiverse is located.

In this way, once this world is packaged and delivered to his territory, it will naturally be incorporated into his world system, becoming one of the foundations of his world and enhancing the strength of Godslayer Chen Hong.

After a long period of waiting, perhaps the entire multiverse will be refined by the Godslayer Chen Hong, truly transforming into the Heavenly Dao and possessing the power of the multiverse.

"It's time to go back."

After leaving this backup plan, Chen Hong exchanged some resources with Rimuru and the others, then bought another Transcendent Talisman and returned to his own world.

The Transcendent Talisman is like a one-way ticket, not a round trip, just like buying a train ticket.

Having concluded Rimuru's world tour, this trip has been incredibly lucrative.

The [King of Gluttony] and [King of Wisdom] alone are worth the price of admission and are crucial to Chen Hong's future plans, not to mention that Chen Hong directly copied and sublimated all the master skills of the Meng Wang lineage.

If its value were converted into chat group points, it would be worth countless resources.

Back in the Overlord world, Chen Hong, along with Ainz Ooal Gown, Albedo, Demiurge, and other members of his inner circle, crossed the cosmic membrane and arrived in the void beyond the universe.

Yes, as the Overlord universe has been incorporated into the Multiverse System, it is naturally located at a key node of the Multiverse Array and is protected by the entire Multiverse Array, so it does not have to face the outer chaos directly.

Instead, it serves as a foundational node to operate the grand array, providing power to the array, refining more chaotic energy, and replenishing the entire multiverse.

Therefore, outside the universe, what you see is not the turbulent outer chaos, but a vast, dark void.

This void is not truly nothingness, but rather filled with gentle inner chaotic energy refined by the grand formation, providing nourishment for the growth of all universes.

The Overlord universe has absorbed hundreds of times more nutrients than in the past.

This is why external universes like the Overlord universe were not rejected, but rather readily integrated into the Miniature Garden Multiverse system.

There's nothing special about it; there are simply too many benefits.

Lone wolves may grow up to be free.

But being able to stick together for warmth, without much exploitation, is something the universe instinctively favors.

This is also why Chen Hong's development in the myriad worlds has been so smooth.

There's no reason why the world consciousness wouldn't like the benefits Chen Hong brings.

Therefore, Chen Hong is often blessed with great fortune and is favored by the world. (End of Chapter)
