Chapter 251: One Punch Shatters a Planet! Ever Seen a Fist the Size of a Sandbag?
Furina: "From your words, I can feel the power of the Aeons. Are these descriptions true?"
Aqua: "This is strong? You, a Hydro Archon, are too inexperienced, aren't you?"
Ren twitched his lips. Your two Hydro Archon characteristics are completely different, okay? And Furina isn't entirely the Hydro Archon; she is the human part Focalors separated into. As for Aeons compared to the gods of Teyvat... Well, there's really no comparison. The gap is too large.
Silver Wolf: "Keep listening to me! Once I'm done, I'm going to play games!"
Furina: "Forgive my rudeness, please continue your story."
Aqua: "Uh… I'm sorry!"
Silver Wolf: "Hmph, as the last member of the Coleoptera that ruled the land, loneliness ignited its Path. Tayzzyronth transformed into a terrifying, self-replicating, endlessly multiplying tide. It, or rather, they, ran rampant across all realms, expanding and proliferating terrifyingly, devouring all existence. They are the main body of the Swarm Disaster."
Silver Wolf: "Records about the Swarm Disaster mention this: 'You stand beneath the sky, seeing desolation all around. Beside you, on the fields and roads, a vast horde of alien insects breeds and hatches, devouring all crops and species until all paths are submerged by various insect offspring. After the Swarm (Sand King) passed through all planets, it swept across 2-thirds of the living areas, sparing nothing—land, oceans, or living beings. Planets where the Swarm passed all experienced war and suffering.' Emmm, that's about it. Explaining all this is really exhausting. I'm never doing it again; it's wasting my gaming time!"
Vivian: "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Silver Wolf. You explained it very thoroughly."
Mumei: "I can understand it. It's a disaster much more terrifying than the Kabane."
Mikasa: "Giants seem weak."
Kiana: "Looking at it this way, it really seems similar to the spacefaring Swarm Ren encountered."
Although Kiana is called a dummy, she isn't dumb at all; she just doesn't like to use her brain because she has someone to rely on. Although she is a cloned artificial human, Kiana indeed inherited the excellent bloodline of the Kaslana family.
Ren: "I personally think they are very similar, though there are differences, of course. Enough talk, I should solve today's problem."
Today's problem. His words didn't completely stop. He hadn't been standing idly during this time. Through the Source of Space, the spatial boundary he touched was still outside this planet, just like when he was at the Giant Beast Planet. He used the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception to see the faint death lines of this restriction. He tried to break through the restriction using the power of the Source of Space, but it wasn't successful; it only slightly shook the restriction. However, this also meant that the restriction was not unbreakable.
Did such a change indicate that the Doomsday Game was truly nearing its end? For now, it was just a guess, and Ren decided to focus on the immediate task.
In an instant, Haruno and the others were teleported back to this location. Their attacks, which they hadn't held back, were all nullified by Ren.
"How did I get back?" The same question arose in several people's minds, and Ren answered their confusion: "You should also be adapted by now and roughly understand the power of the spacefaring Swarm."
"Mhm, mhm." Everyone nodded. Currently, it seemed there were no powerful spacefaring Swarm in this area of the planet. They were mostly cockroach-type alien insects, with some zergling-type and drone-type as well. If viewed according to the StarCraft setting, if there were drones, there must be Overlords. And this planet must also have Queen-type spacefaring Swarm for reproduction. These were things they would have to decide on their own if they encountered them later.
"I'm going to destroy this planet. To be safe, you all should stay in this space." This place had actually left the planet's surface space; it was an alternate dimension he created. So, these spacefaring Swarm suddenly lost their attack targets, and after patrolling for a while, they began to devour the corpses of their dead kin.
"Destroy the planet?!" Mrs. Yuigahama wondered if she had misheard. Was such a thing truly something a human could do? But then she thought of the wings and halos that these girls had grown not long ago, and their superpower-like abilities. And the Doomsday Game itself—these things had already exceeded her understanding of what humans should encounter.
Her shock was not an exception. Haruno, Yumiko, and the others had never witnessed Ren destroying a planet; they had only heard him mention it. Therefore, they were all excited, about to witness Ren's great power! Yumiko opened her mouth, still unable to resist her curiosity as she asked, "Ren-kun, how are you going to destroy the planet? With spatial abilities?"
Using spatial abilities to destroy a planet would truly be overkill. He had many ways to destroy this planet using the Source of Space. Spatial distortion, spatial cutting, spatial collapse, spatial compression, and so on—there were countless methods. But he wasn't going to do that.
With a hint of eagerness, he raised his right hand, clenched it tightly, and a smile played on his lips. "Ever seen a fist the size of a sandbag?"
"Huh?" Yumiko didn't understand what he meant, and neither did the others. But Ren didn't explain further; he would let his actions speak. He teleported out of this space. With a wave of his hand, the air pressure, like a true repulsive force, pressed outwards from him as the center. The uneven ground was flattened by this air pressure, and at the same time, all spacefaring Swarm within dozens of kilometers were crushed and flattened. He simply created a solo stage for himself. On this stage, he was the sole protagonist.
Ren was already impatient; he had long wanted to fully unleash the power of his body. Most of the purified Primal Energy from an entire Stellaron had already been used by him to strengthen himself. His body began to emit a powerful aura, as if an unstoppable force. The immense aura awed all things; the spacefaring Swarm dozens of kilometers away, which had been flattened, actually collapsed in groups. It was hard to believe that these were the insects described as having no fear. But now they feared Ren. It wasn't that they had no fear; it was just that their enemies weren't strong enough.
Ren's body began to swell slightly, his muscles bulging like steel, filled with explosive power. He clenched his fist, and bones cracked. Veins tensed, and the surrounding air seemed to be squeezed to the point of being unbreathable.
"Hah!" Like a Vajra glaring with cold light, he roared and fiercely threw a punch. The force of this punch created an extremely piercing sonic boom, and the air shattered with a hum.
Boom! The fist collided with the planet's surface, emitting a deafening roar.
Rumble! What followed was a violent tremor of the planet's surface. With Ren's fist as the base point, the ground suddenly collapsed thousands of meters downwards. In an instant, shattered rocks were squeezed into the sky, creating a giant pit hundreds of kilometers deep.
