Chapter 473: Two People Form an Army

"How formidable..."

Sif’s words were heavy with shock, her voice a dazed murmur. The towers of the Utopia organization, which they had needed a legion of legends to confront, had been dismantled in an instant by Mr. Wang Yu, who had arrived from parts unknown.

She remembered fighting alongside him in the Sorenson Mountains; he had been nowhere near this powerful then. Such a rate of progress was truly staggering, yet as a friend, it was a reassuring comfort regardless.

"Did the Tree of Life agree to lend Casimir? Ah, never mind. If it’s him, the Tree of Life surely wouldn't refuse to loan out the Holy Spear."

Gawain sighed in relief while shaking his head slightly. Though the act of "loaning out the Holy Spear Casimir" was a flagrant violation of elven law, given that the man had once saved the Tree of Life and now displayed such overwhelming power—not to mention their bond of friendship—he had no reason to quibble over rules.

"Click, click, click..."

The earth on the outskirts of the Primeval Forest began to fracture. Something massive was writhing beneath, pushing the ground into undulating ridges. Then, at the very spot where Wang Yu stood, a gargantuan tree root burst through the soil, bearing a colossal spear that looked, in texture, not unlike wood. It was a familiar sight: the Holy Spear, Casimir.

"My thanks. Keep an eye out for the remnants of the other Utopia towers; they won't vanish just because the towers are gone. We must wipe them out. Leave the other two towers in this vicinity to me."

Wang Yu took the spear—which was far larger than himself—from the root. Wielding it with the power of his Chariot, he hovered in mid-air, offering his thanks and outlining his next move.

"Does Mr. Wang Yu require the assistance of Liahaim?"

Through the prayer communication network, Sif inquired.

"No need. Just keep watch for anything else that might suddenly pop up."

Giving a thumbs-up to Gawain and Sif atop the Tree of Life, Wang Yu turned and surged toward the remaining Utopia towers. Though he was merely running, his speed was so great that his trajectory was nearly impossible to track.

"Without the launcher to provide acceleration, I can't smash these towers with a single punch anymore. Holy Spear Casimir, this thing suits me well. Haha."

With a faint smile, Wang Yu spoke to Avia, who resided within the Void Realm, discussing the mechanics of how he had shattered the Utopia tower with a single blow and his "covetousness" for this elven relic.

"Then carry it back with you? Perhaps if I spend some time, I can decipher how this weapon converts life force into destructive power. Besides, the elves of Liahaim shouldn't dare fall out with you. Coordinates confirmed, I can open the gate."

The girl joked with a serious tone, suggesting he take Casimir home if he wanted it; the elves couldn't do anything about him anyway.

"Uh, *ahem*, let's forget that. Open the gate once I've fully charged the first shot. The magic-guided swords are all ready, aren't they?"

"Of course."

"Good."

Wang Yu’s feat of shattering a tower with a single punch could only be performed once for the time being, as achieving that velocity required the assistance of the launcher located near the Tower of the Spellbinder.

The Harmony—that was the name Wang Yu had given the launcher. As he had described before, it served as his transport across the continent, hence the train-like name. Its second function, however, was to render its target very "harmonious" upon impact.

In essence, the Harmony was a projectile launcher modified by Avia based on the Archangel’s launch device, only the "projectile" being launched was Wang Yu himself. Utilizing mana traction and the frictionless multi-stage acceleration of space-reentry, Wang Yu’s speed could be boosted to twenty times the speed of sound before he was fired toward his target.

A normal person could never use such a thing. Even if sorcery could negate gravity and air resistance, the sheer force of that speed would be exerted directly upon the body. Only someone like Wang Yu, whose constitution stood at the pinnacle even among legends, could play such a game.

Flying through the air at twenty times the speed of sound without deceleration, Wang Yu soon arrived above the Utopia tower outside Liahaim. At that moment, Avia opened a spatial rift for him, allowing him to adjust his direction and strike the Spellbinder tower directly at Mach 20.

Covering his fist with the power of his "Golden Body," he pierced the distorted void-energy shield with his bare flesh. Smashing into the tower at twenty times the speed of sound, his indestructible iron fist plunged into the structure without resistance, followed by a frantic dismantling using the power of the Chariot until the core-like object was torn to shreds.

Now, without the Harmony, Wang Yu truly couldn't destroy a Utopia tower with a single punch, but brute-forcing it was still simple enough for him.

The girl’s Phase Gate spell appeared before him. Wang Yu dragged the Holy Spear Casimir through it, and in the next instant, he emerged in the high sky dozens of kilometers away. Below, the Utopia tower and the members it had summoned were engaged in battle with a coalition legion of orcs and humans.

The coalition was being utterly crushed, struggling to hold their ground against the rampant void energy and various spells. Despite their desperate defense, casualties were mounting rapidly as time wore on.

"Elder Gawain has notified them to retreat."

As Sif informed him, the coalition legion began to pull back with practiced coordination the moment Wang Yu arrived above the battlefield, ceding the ground to the Utopia tower and its void-summoned army.

"Come on, then..."

Muttering to himself, Wang Yu gripped the spear, which was larger than himself, and leveled it at the massive Utopia army below. More than half of the blood in his blood pool had already been consumed by the flames of sorcery earlier.

The life force within the high-energy blood Wang Yu had hoarded was poured entirely into the Holy Spear Casimir, filling it to the brim—far more than when the World Eater or Zig had used it.

The leaves on the spear lit up with green radiance, and the original wooden texture of the shaft was replaced by a gilded metallic luster. The entire spear shimmered, brimming with incredible energy.

"Boom!"

A thick pillar of light slanted down from the sky into the battlefield. This brilliant golden torrent was different from a simple surge of energy; it possessed a "vitality" that even modern scholars could not explain.

Upon hitting the ground, there was no massive explosion. After a thunderous roar, a tree glowing with radiance rose from the earth—a miniature version of the Tree of Life.

The next instant, countless self-guided streams of light erupted from the Tree of Life, rushing toward the void-summoned members of the Utopia organization. Possessing immense destructive power, the light streams—like the roots of a tree—melted and pierced through targets the moment they struck, breaking through defenses and skewering one foe after another with lethal speed.

Wang Yu descended from the sky. Throughout the process, the Holy Spear Casimir never ceased emitting streams of energy, striking the glowing tree and supplying it with the power to slaughter the surrounding enemies. By the time he landed, the vast circle of enemies had been wiped clean, leaving only this tree, now larger than when it had first appeared, rooted in the earth.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

The power of the Utopia tower had begun to boil the moment Wang Yu released the power of the Holy Spear Casimir. Now, countless sorceries blanketed the area around where Wang Yu stood, raining down upon him as the concentration of void energy spiked uncontrollably.

Joining them were the Utopia members from further afield, their spells targeting Wang Yu alone in a concentrated bombardment.

The power of the Chariot instantly saturated the surrounding area, and control was transferred to the girl in the Void. As the master of mana and void energy, Avia seized control in a heartbeat. With Wang Yu as her "weapon," she remained composed in the face of this overwhelming, army-level saturation strike.

Perfect fractal spells connected to the Night Lady’s Tree of the Night Sky, utilizing its terrifying computing power to plot the optimal response.

In an instant, half of the sorcery cluster within a thousand meters of Wang Yu spiraled out of control. Their trajectories shifted, their effects mutated, and they collided with other spells, triggering mutual annihilation and creating zones of chaotic void turbulence.

These turbulent zones triggered other incoming spells, preventing them from reaching Wang Yu’s position, while simultaneously devouring and destroying the structure of incoming magic, causing them to lose effect under the distortion of the void.

One could only see earth-shattering explosions occurring around Wang Yu, with brilliant, blinding void energy and mana erupting wildly. Yet, Wang Yu, the target at the center, remained completely untouched.

The base mana generated by the disintegration of the spells gathered around Wang Yu. How could Avia ignore such a thing? She immediately used the power of the Chariot to pull all that mana into her grasp, activating Supermagic: Repulsion Blast.

A terrifying shockwave, directed at everything except the void, erupted from Wang Yu’s body, amplified by the immense mana. It tore the un-neutralized spells to shreds. In a blink, both the ground and the sky were cleared.

While Avia was destroying and neutralizing the attacks directed at him, Wang Yu had pointed the Holy Spear Casimir at the glowing tree. The energy within the tree flowed back into the spear, carrying the "weaknesses of life" collected from the enemies the tree had slain.

The moment the surrounding attacks were cleared, Wang Yu swept the massive spear in a wide arc around his body. A thick green beam of light extended from the tip, transforming into something that resembled a blade, yet was far longer. It swept across the battlefield that the tree had not yet reached.

The green beam passed through the Utopia army like a hot knife through butter, meeting no resistance as it instantly wiped the enemy forces clean.

In the blink of an eye, only a vast stretch of empty ground remained between Wang Yu and the second Utopia tower. However, the tower seemed to sense the incalculable pressure and threat posed by this being—who was perhaps no longer just a human—and drew additional power from its damaged "net."

Void energy erupted, and numerous rifts appeared out of thin air. From within, a massive Utopia legion poured out, launching an attack on the charging Wang Yu.

"Come on then."

He said it casually. Facing this massive enemy, Wang Yu showed no sign of gravity. Above his head, a rift connected to the Eden Seed space opened, and countless longswords began to fly out. Each magic-guided sword was inscribed with incredibly complex magic runes and controlled by Wang Yu’s Chariot power. These swords flew at high speed, ascending into the sky.

The countless swords became a churning "dark cloud" in the sky, casting a vast shadow over the ground before descending as a boundless, torrential rain. Under the command of Wang Yu’s Chariot power, the thousands of swords were charged with blinding mana, slashing down toward the enemy ranks blocking his path.

"One man makes an army"—a term used to describe the strength of a legendary knight, not implying that one person could possess the destructive power of an entire army—became literal in Wang Yu’s case. Through his own ability, he possessed the destructive power to rival, or even surpass, an entire army.

Oh, wait. It should be: "Two make an army."
