Doomsday: with unlimited warehouse system

Chapter 336 Petty Skills

David's blow sent shockwaves through the onlookers standing on a distant hill. They knew David's level had reached a terrifying state, but they hadn't expected his power to be this astonishing.

With just one punch, he sent Edmund flying over a kilometer away. This made them doubt if their captain was still human. Little did they know that David's level had already reached that of a dark god.

In other words, David was both human and divine. After taking David's punch, Edmund struggled to get up from the ground.

"Damn it!" Edmund cursed and threw a pair of metallic wings he held in his hands with all his strength. Immediately, the metallic wings tore through the air, creating a deafening sonic boom, and headed straight for David.

Seeing this, David calmly opened a spatial gate. His towering figure disappeared from Edmund's view within a hundred meters. The pair of metallic wings flew past a forest, cutting down all the tall trees in their path.

At that moment, David's figure reappeared in front of Edmund. It happened almost instantly. David raised his fist once more, and with a thunderous boom, he smashed it towards Edmund's chest.

However, Edmund, having learned his lesson from the previous encounter, was prepared. He transformed his body into countless black insects and met the fist. David's punch struck the ground, but it also killed thousands of insects on impact.

"Avoided it?" David stood up and looked at the swarm of black insects flying around. In an instant, these black insects gathered together again, and Edmund's figure appeared in front of him. "Did you really think I would keep taking hits? You underestimate me. I am the King of the Zerg, and I have absolute control over all life here! You can't defeat me!"

Black insects continuously burrowed into Edmund's skin, and a sinister smile spread across his face again. However, there was a momentary flicker of pain in his eyes, quickly caught by David.

David suddenly understood. Edmund's increased size and strength were a result of his body being composed of countless insects. The quantity and quality of these insects directly affected his power. David's previous punch had evidently weakened Edmund's strength by killing thousands of insects.

"In that case, I'll just have to kill all the insects inside you!" David sneered and stared at Edmund emotionlessly. However, he noticed that Edmund was still standing there, wearing a sinister smile on his face.

"Admit defeat; you are no match for me," the seemingly victorious Edmund said coldly. Then, he clenched his right fist tightly.

What's going on? David's heart skipped a beat! Next, he heard a sound behind him, a sonic boom tearing through the air. Without turning around, David understood that it was the pair of metallic wings coming back again, and their speed and power were several times stronger than before. It seemed that Edmund had enhanced their capabilities through some supernatural means.

David still attempted to evade using his spatial gate. However, he was taken aback as the pair of metallic wings was even faster than his ability to tear through space.

So, David's heart sank, and he directly activated the faint golden defensive layer on his body. As his level had reached that of a dark god, his faint golden defensive layer had reached its peak defensive state.

David mobilized all the energy in his body, concentrating it onto this faint golden defensive layer. Just as the layer began to emit a faint glow, the pair of metallic wings struck his back with tremendous force. The impact created a massive explosion on the spot, and the metallic wings, like meteorites from outer space, were incredibly powerful. After hitting David, they crashed heavily into the ground, raising a cloud of dust that spanned hundreds of meters.

"David! Captain!" All members of the Embers team witnessed this scene, and their hearts leaped into their throats. However, they could do nothing but widen their eyes, unable to see David's current condition through the dust and smoke.

"Hahaha!" Seeing that his surprise attack on David had succeeded, Edmund burst into laughter once again. With this strike, he had gathered all his strength accumulated over the years in the wasteland world. He believed that David, being a mere human, wouldn't be able to withstand such a powerful attack.

He thought David was surely finished now. Thinking about killing David and becoming the most powerful being in the wasteland world once again filled Edmund with excitement. "In this world, no one can challenge my position. What can you humans amount to? Just insects in my eyes. One day, I'll step into your territory and turn all of you into my slaves!" After "killing" David, Edmund shifted his gaze to the members of the Embers team.

Fear overwhelmed everyone, but just then, a sound tore through the air, splitting the heavens and the earth, emanating from within the dust and smoke.

"Have you asked my opinion before trying to kill my kind?"

"Huh?" Hearing this familiar voice, Edmund was momentarily stunned and quickly turned to look at the lingering dust and smoke. The members of the Embers team were also filled with hope.

"It's David's voice! David is not dead!"

"Of course! David couldn't possibly die!"

"This is fantastic! Absolutely fantastic!"

As everyone was getting excited, David's figure slowly emerged from the dust and smoke. Seeing David alive and standing before him again, Edmund panicked. "No! This can't be! My last strike contained all my power; how could you have survived?"

Fear was evident in Edmund's words. He firmly believed that his previous attack had inflicted significant damage on David. But now, seeing David unharmed, he was at a loss.

"Playing with little tricks when you can't even handle the basics?" David's entire body radiated a faint golden light. Indeed, the sneak attack by Edmund had been formidable, but David's faint golden defensive layer had reached its ultimate state. Not even weapons from a mix of the wasteland world and the apocalyptic world could break through it.

"From today onwards, the wasteland world will no longer have Zerg's presence!" David declared coldly, then slowly raised his right hand. On his right hand, he held the pair of metallic wings that belonged to Edmund.

Then, David gathered his strength and threw the pair of metallic wings at Edmund. Simultaneously, he opened a spatial gate.
