Battle of Psionic and Arcane (2)

The moment the Psionic Forbidden Zone was erected across the entirety of the Ancient Eternal Star Region, the Hivemind almost erupted in rage because it couldn't access its Psionic Potential, which was an absolute hit against it.

Also, the fact that the Psionic Forbidden Zone was created with the Universal Blessings made it extremely hard for the Hivemind to even think about destroying it.

The Universal Will knew very well what end awaited it when the Hivemind won or if the Mercurious succeeded in anything he was scheming and plotting.

To destroy this Psionic Forbidden Zone, which was supported by the Universe itself, one would need above-average Tier 13 destructive prowess, something that the Hivemind was very, very far away.

The best thing that the Hivemind could exhibit was peak Tier 12, especially now that it was cut from the Psionic Energy.

The Void Insects were species that were Psionical in their fundamental nature, and if someone cut their Psionic Connection, it made them extremely vulnerable. Not only in terms of the individual power but especially the command over the entire Swarm would be messed up completely.

Not to the point where every bug and the insect would be doing anything it wants, but the high-Tiered bugs and the Controller-type bugs would need to put much more effort into controlling the Swarm, and they wouldn't be able to control as much as with the direct Psionic Connection, which was now severed.

For this Hivemind, this meant, this also the fact, that it lost the connection with the rest of its Swarm, and the Tier 11 Bugs were left on their own, meaning there was nobody who would be commanding them and navigating them to their targets.

This would make them an easy target in the eyes of the Chthonians and Dresden and experts from the Divine Blood Plane and Dragon's Nest.

I observed the Hivemind, awaiting its next moves.

Even though the Psionic Forbidden Zone took away the ability of the Hivemind to use the Psionic Energy, but there was still one huge factor of the strength of every Void Insect, which was the absolutely frightening strength of the Hivemind.

The body of each Void Insect was a perfectly genetically engineered weapon of war whose only single purpose was to kill and slaughter. Every single part of the body was designed in a way to maximize the combat prowess and combat efficiency of every bug.

The Hivemind had, understandably, the strongest and most powerful physical body, as it was created with the peak bio-genetical engineering, as its body was made from the most powerful and potent genetical material that the Hivemind collected across its journey of the Endless Void.

Because of that reason, I was still wary of the Hivemind, especially considering the fact that the close-quarters fights were not my forte; even after centuries of sparring with Hela, I still was more comfortable with using my spells from a safe distance.

Several seconds later, I saw that the Hivemind was already rushing at me as I created several protective barriers around me, which were shattered by one punch by the Hivemind.

Indeed the physical strength of the Hivemind was nothing to scoff at, as it was shattering one magical defense that I prepared after another, becoming completely unstoppable.

I swiftly conjured hundreds of Dark Light Chains in an attempt to bind the Hivemind down, but that was futile because the thing was extremely fast and agile, effortlessly dodging all of the Dark Light Chains that were coming at it.

Meanwhile, I was constantly creating distance between us.

At the same time, Weissmann started casting some more offensive and de-buffing oriented spells onto the Hivemind and even some curses in more obscure rituals, as I would need to buy him time to cast them.

As time passed, the injuries upon the Hivemind were accumulating exponentially.

Still, its regenerative capabilities were absolutely frightening because even though the suppressive spell formation, most of its abilities were untouched, especially those which were genetic.

I knew that this would be a fight for a very long run because the stamina of the Hivemind was something out of my understanding, but that went well with me because I, on the other hand, had extremely destructive Magic, not to mention I was continuously using the Arcane Seal of End and Ruin.

Under the effects of the Arcane Seal of End and Ruin, the Hivemind was slowly getting corroded by the power of the End.

With this, I could ensure that the Hivemind would surely die, but the question was when because clearly, it was putting fierce resistance against the Energy of the End.

In truth, I already cannot wait to dissect and study its body because it would skyrocket the Genetic Technology and Bio-Genetical Engineering of the Chthonian Empire by entire millennia.

The possibilities we could learn from studying the Hivemind and obtaining the Genebank are endless because the Void Insects were species with the most advanced Bio-Genetical Engineering in the entire Endless Void.

And thus, the fight continued for several hours straight, and only after it crossed the magical border of twelve hours I started feeling some sort of fatigue from the continuous act of pushing my very own being to its limits as I continued ferociously fighting with the Hivemind.

Right now, I was forced to confront the Hivemind in close combat, as we were exchanging hundreds of blows with each passing minute.

The Hivemind was using its body as the weapon, while I was using Atiesh, as its blade part was dangerous and shart as hell, to the point of being able to cut through the body of the Hivemind like a hot knife through butter.

Because I was incorporating the Magic Rules into my combat style, I was able to cause the Hivemind significant injuries, especially with the Nuclear Magic Rule, which was subsequently supplemented by The End.

That were kinds of injuries that even the Hivemind was unable to recuperate from, as it was bleeding from all parts of the body; several of its claws were already missing, aside from the severed wings, which right now fell into the emptiness of the space.
