Bogaru, who was beheaded by Hikari, had his head submerged in the lava, while the rest of his body remained in the lava pool.
To say that the other party is still alive in this state is truly a revelation for Asuka Kazuma.
"That was just a fake body."
By casually flicking out a speck of light, Galvin proved his point with his actions.
Because after that point of light fell into the lava pool, time seemed to reverse, and the scene of Hikari killing Bogard was replayed.
However, the scene being replayed was being reenacted at a speed of ten thousand times slower.
And it was during this playback at ten thousand times slower speed that Kazuma Asuka and Hikari finally saw clearly what Bogaru had done.
Just as his head was about to be severed, Bogaru miraculously shed his skin, splitting off an almost illusory afterimage from his own body.
The afterimage abandoned its original body and, concealed by flames and light, disappeared into the core of the earth's crust.
"The golden cicada escapes from its shell?"
This time it was Hikari who spoke.
Even He Himself did not realize that what He had killed was merely a shell.
"As expected of a terrifying creature regarded as a 'cosmic catastrophe'."
"Putting everything else aside, its ability to save lives is truly top-notch."
From its initial high-speed impact, instantaneous movement, super regeneration, and adaptability, it has now evolved into a life-saving skill similar to a cicada shedding its shell.
The Bogaru race seems to have "fear of death" etched into their genes.
Even Lu Xuan, who owns an Omnitrix watch, would find it difficult to find a form among his various forms that possesses such comprehensive abilities.
Moreover, what they are seeing now is only the ability that Bogaru has already demonstrated.
Lu Xuan didn't believe that these abilities were all Bogaru possessed.
“Bogaru is indeed not dead.”
Just as everyone was deep in thought, Arbo, who existed in the form of a crystal, suddenly spoke.
"In the prophecies I have seen, the future has not been changed."
Upon hearing this, Asuka instinctively turned her gaze to Lu Xuan.
After several interactions, Asuka Kazuma had gained a full understanding of Lu Xuan's power and wonder.
If we're talking about who can break this deadlock now, it's probably only Lu Xuan.
"Don't worry, we've already blocked the satellite beforehand. Even if Bogaru manages to escape death, he definitely won't be able to escape this planet."
"What we need to do now is find it and then kill it completely before it recovers."

Chapter 727 Complete Mimicry
Lu Xuan and his group are discussing how to find Bogaru's whereabouts, but what about Bogaru herself?
"What exactly is going on?"
With anger, with resentment, with confusion...
Bogaru, disguised as a crystalline life form, appeared on the other side of the planet without alerting Lu Xuan and Hikari's pre-arranged security measures.
Because Bodhidharma's disguise is a complete mimicry.
Not only are their appearance and abilities identical to those of the crystal lifeforms Arbok, but even their most basic DNA composition is completely the same.
It must be noted here that although the crystal lifeforms on Arbore are still in a relatively primitive social structure, they have long possessed the ability to travel to other planets.
There are actually quite a few Arbos residing on this satellite right now.
Therefore, when Bogaru disguised himself as one of the Arboks and blended in, it did not attract much attention.
Of course, although her disguise was not seen through, Bogaru was not in a good state.
Ambushed by three giants, coupled with the injuries sustained from forcibly traversing the Earth's core, her current physical condition appears precarious.
"No matter what, recovering from the injury is the priority."
A ruthless and cruel glint flashed in Bogaru's eyes as she looked at the other crystal lifeforms without any emotion.
To Bogaru, they were simply a group of food waiting to be eaten.
"you……"
Seemingly sensing Bogaru's abnormality, one of the crystal lifeforms, Arbo, looked at this incongruous fellow with some confusion.
But before he could even ask the question, Bogaru cruelly tore it to pieces.
Click!
With a crisp sound of crystal shattering, Bogaru revealed a hint of pleasure.
"The taste is actually a little better than I expected..."
Due to the unique nature of crystal life forms, they contain energy far exceeding that of other organisms.
Although this energy source does not suit Bogaru's taste.
However, as food alone, it is far more "nutritious" than ordinary organisms.
At the very least, Bogaru could feel that his injuries were slowly healing.
"Unfortunately, it's still not as delicious as real monsters."
At this moment, Bogaru longed to devour a real monster and use its immense life energy to heal his injuries.
As Bogaru, in his crystalline form, moved toward the nearest settlement and began a bloody massacre of the Arbok.
Faced with such a cruel and powerful madman, the Arbos naturally chose to fight back.
Unfortunately, the difference in strength between the two was simply too great.
Bogaru didn't even revert to his true form; his terrifying psychic power in his mimicry state completely overturned the settlement.
In order to end this only battle as soon as possible, and also to prevent the three giants from discovering the anomaly here...
Deciding to finish the battle quickly, Bogaru slaughtered all the crystal lifeforms in the settlement in a very short time.
Ordinary creatures are utterly powerless against a true "cosmic catastrophe" like Bogaru.
By the time the crystal lifeforms in other settlements noticed the anomaly, the disguised Bogaru had already vanished from the area.
......................................................................................................
"It's still a bit too slow..."
After massacring several Arbok settlements, Bogaru couldn't help but frown.
If things continue as they are, even without considering the three giants that could appear at any moment, Bogaru might not be able to recover from his injuries even if he slaughtered all the crystal lifeforms on the entire satellite.
As for heading to the Crystal Planet Arbo to hunt more Crystal Lifeforms?
That's obviously impossible, and the risk is just too great.
Moreover, Bogaru is no ordinary intelligent being.
Hunting and evolution are her instincts, while her high level of intelligence and wisdom are merely to help her hunt and evolve better.
While Lu Xuan and his two companions were pondering how to eliminate Bogaru, she was also considering how to hunt down the three giants.
Indeed, Bogaru is not thinking about how to escape from the encirclement of the three giants; instead, he is thinking about hunting them down.
If Bogaru can successfully hunt down those three giants, he is confident that he can evolve to the next stage.
At that time, even if the king of the Bogaru clan—the evil Bogaru—is reborn, she is confident that she can make him a part of herself.
Paranoid, insane, and greedy...
This is the real Bogaru, a predator from a higher dimension.
"That defensive network is a bit troublesome; we need to find a way to destroy it first."
Looking up at the sky again, Bogaru's gaze lingered on the enormous energy shield that had appeared above the satellite at some unknown time.
The appearance of that enormous energy shield meant that the three giants had discovered the slaughtered Arbok and had begun a campaign to exterminate Bogaru across the entire planet.
To be honest, even when Bogaru was injured, he didn't take that defensive net seriously.
After all, no matter how strong Lu Xuan's defense network is, once it is expanded to the entire satellite, it will inevitably have weak points.
The problem now is that the three giants simply won't give Bogaru a chance to exploit his weak points.
As soon as she dares to show herself, she will be attacked by three giants.
"Food... the more the better..."
Looking at the massive defensive net, Bogaru seemed to have come up with an idea, and a wicked smile crept onto his lips.
As Lu Xuan said, Bogaru, as a predator from a higher dimension, certainly has abilities beyond what he has shown.
Besides actively hunting, Bogaru also has the habit of being hunted passively...
Once it settles on a planet, Bogaru will send special information waves into the vacuum of space to summon monsters from the depths of the universe.
However, under normal circumstances, the planets chosen by Bogaru possess abundant life energy, so they do not welcome other predators to compete with them for food.
However, the situation is clearly different now.
Instead of the physical object that Bogaru had hoped for, the satellite was inhabited by three powerful giants.
If we could use their power to eliminate those monsters from the depths of the universe, and then take the opportunity to hunt and kill them, it would seem like a very good deal.
Putting aside everything else, the massive defensive network in the sky alone would save Bogaru a lot of trouble.
On one hand, the summoned cosmic monsters will destroy that massive defensive network.
On the other hand, Bogaru can also take the opportunity to capture the cosmic monsters that have been killed by the defense network.
No matter how things develop, Bogaru won't lose out.

Chapter 728 Hikari's Wrath
Three days, a full three days.
Lu Xuan, Hikari, and Asuka Kazuma were all trying to find traces of Bogaru, but to no avail.
"That Bogaru definitely possesses the ability to mimic and disguise itself."
Standing atop the massacred stronghold of crystal lifeforms, a barely concealed look of rage flickered across Asuka Kazuma's face.
During his five-thousand-year-long cosmic journey, Kazuma Asuka had encountered life forms with similar abilities more than once.
The Lacesta aliens, appointed by Lu Xuan as "Star Gate Guardians," are among the best.
However, the current Bogaru's ability to mimic and disguise itself is even more exaggerated than that of the Lacesta aliens.
Unless Lu Xuan is willing to let Zhizi come here, ordinary identification and investigation methods will be unable to find that ferocious Bogaru.
"Like the previous strongholds, this place was also destroyed by powerful telekinesis."
Hikari, equally enraged, forced himself to remain calm, but everything he saw was repeatedly eroding his mental defenses.
Unlike Lu Xuan and Kazuma Asuka, Hikari arrived on Arbok long ago and became friends with the Arbok people.
Among these dead crystal lifeforms, many were acquaintances of Hikari.
"Arbery! Why didn't you let them leave here beforehand?"
Faced with Hikari's questioning, the "Crystal Eye" on Hikari's wrist opened again, and the answer he gave was beyond everyone's expectations.
"They stayed here voluntarily."
Although his voice was equally sorrowful, Planetary Will Arbok appeared much calmer.
"This is not a hunting game, but a war concerning the survival of Arbok..."
"Before Bogaru arrived, no one knew whether the other side would fall into a trap."
"So to make things seem more real, there must be traces of Arbos living and existing on this satellite."
