Under the relentless waves of attacks from everyone, a significant number of the insects surrounding Edmund were finally killed. The members of the Ember Squad were gasping for breath.
Although these insects seemed weak in combat, their rapid reproduction rate made it impossible for the team to take a break. They kept attacking relentlessly.
Finally, as Sally summoned a thick purple lightning bolt resembling an ancient tree, the influx of insects ceased. The black insect corpses piled up on the ground, creating a carpet-like layer in the Barren World.
Everyone paused.
"David, what's going on with this guy?" Arnold gasped and asked. During the entire process, Arnold had charged into the swarm of insects, using his wolf claws to tear them apart one by one. However, he had no idea about Edmund's current situation, and he looked to David for answers.
David narrowed his eyes and looked again. With many insects killed by his team members, Edmund had visibly weakened. The remaining insects no longer emitted the same intense aura as before. David speculated that this change might be related to the number of insects.
"Rest up, everyone. Leave the rest to me," David said, leaving these words behind as he approached Edmund, clutching the Staff of wasteland.
At this moment, as David had guessed, with the substantial reduction in the sacrificed insects, Edmund's strength had been significantly affected. However, he had still absorbed the essence of tens of thousands of insects. After these essences circulated within his body for a moment, as Edmund opened his eyes, they suddenly exploded, radiating outwards in all directions!
Instantly, within a range of nearly a thousand kilometers in the wasteland World, not a single blade of grass remained. Everything had been obliterated by the shockwave from Edmund's outburst. Even the Ember Squad members, who had reached the eleventh level, were almost overwhelmed by this force.
Fortunately, Emlyn promptly had his Evil Ghosts positioned in front of them, which managed to shield them from the shockwave. However, the price was steep – out of his hundred Evil ghosts, only around twenty survived.
Meanwhile, David continued to advance toward Edmund as if he hadn't noticed the shockwave. Edmund had completed the sacrifice of all the insects and reappeared before everyone.
"Hahaha!" After opening his eyes, Edmund burst into maniacal laughter.
"I'll soon make you taste the pain," Edmund said, leaving this remark behind. Edmund's body suddenly began to rapidly grow in size, and even a pair of enormous metallic wings emerged from his back.
When Edmund's body reached approximately a hundred meters in size, he finally came to a stop. Everyone on the ground looked up at him in awe and trepidation.
"This guy... he can actually grow this large?" Fatso stared with wide eyes. Even as a seasoned Dawn Scavenger, he had never witnessed anything like this before.
"He's even taller than General Armor. This strength... it's terrifying!" All of them were left dumbfounded, unable to move.
They had initially found it inconceivable when General Armor grew to such a colossal size, but now Edmund had shattered that record once again, leaving them awestruck.
David halted his advance as well, raising his gaze to the towering Edmund, shrouded in the dark clouds. "Hmph! Overestimating yourself!" David snorted and began to shake the Staff of wasteland. Under his movements, the staff emitted a dazzling light.
Subsequently, the entire wasteland World seemed to be covered by this radiance, blinding everyone. Within this light, David's body also began to rapidly increase in size, surpassing even Edmund's height by a head. He ceased growing once he towered over everyone, and the blinding light that had enveloped the wasteland World suddenly dissipated.
Everyone opened their eyes. They looked at David, who was now taller than Edmund, standing there, stunned.
"Is this... still David?" After advancing to the level of a Dark God, David could freely control the size of his body. He had become a god, and his understanding of this world surpassed all living beings.
Moreover, the Staff of wasteland held the secrets of the Barren World. By shaking the staff, David's aura could spread throughout the world, enhancing his strength here.
As Edmund saw David grow larger than him, a look of surprise briefly crossed his face. However, this surprise quickly vanished because he knew that his current move was unbeatable. He wore a sinister smile and slowly reached behind his back, where he grabbed a pair of metallic wings.
These metallic wings were suddenly detached and held in his hands, now serving as weapons. These wings, in addition to being used for flight, could also be utilized for attacks. Crafted entirely from the rare Xuan Iron Metal of the wasteland World, they were incredibly sturdy, with razor-sharp edges along the periphery. Even when held by Edmund, they emitted an intimidating aura.
"Kid, I'll make you suffer!" Edmund's words had just fallen when he swung the wings in his hand towards David. He had only taken one step, but the entire wasteland World's ground trembled violently. This prompted everyone still on the ground to hastily fly to a distant mountain.
Facing Edmund's aggressive charge, David remained calm. He raised the Staff of wasteland in his hand. "Clang!" The wings in Edmund's hand collided violently with David's Staff of wasteland, creating a thunderous metal collision that reverberated throughout the wasteland World.
Seeing his first attack blocked by David, Edmund quickly changed his angle. He twisted his wrist and swung the metallic wings towards David's ribcage. David gently shifted the Staff of wasteland, easily deflecting the attack.
At the same time, David freed his left hand and unleashed a strike known as the "Galactic Shatter Fist" towards Edmund's face. Edmund hadn't expected David's reaction to be so swift, and with his hands both constrained by David's Staff of wasteland, he had no chance to evade. Thus, he gritted his teeth and could only withstand the blow.
"Boom!" David's punch seemed to unleash the ultimate power, sending Edmund flying over a thousand meters. His massive form floated in the air like a wisp of cloud, hurtling towards a small mountain in the distance. "Boom!" Another resounding crash! The mountain, hundreds of meters tall, was directly smashed into a flat plain by Edmund's impact.
