The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 820 The War Ends?

The self-destruction of the Celestial Evolution Master silenced all the creatures present.

A pang of sadness flashed through the heart of the Insect Sovereign. He had a good relationship with the Celestial Evolution Sovereign, and the Celestial Evolution Sovereign's path was even determined by his advice.

But soon, that sadness faded away.

The swarm leader is not a single organism; he himself is a swarm.

From a spiritual perspective, the swarm of insects that ruled this creature died after he became a Gestalt being.

Instead, there is only a Gestalt creature with a personality dominated by swarms of insects.

Gestalt creatures do possess emotions, but they are less acute and less intense than those of ordinary creatures.

However, the long years that the swarm of insects has spent dominating the swarm are enough to wear down this ability completely.

After the grief subsided, the first thought that popped into the mind of the swarm overlord was—what to do next.

He could indeed take on four opponents at once, but that would be tantamount to slow suicide.

Once his dimensional power is exhausted, he will be instantly torn to pieces by the four truth wizards, or sealed in the void until his death.

"Let's run."

The answer was obtained the moment the swarm of insects appeared.

Without hesitation, the sub-dimension of the Insect Overlord instantly separated from the four dimensions. The Insect Overlord's body, along with itself, vanished into the endless dimensions.

"This slippery thing."

As the Undead Crown gazed at the vanished Overlord of the Insects, the fire of souls in its eyes burned even brighter.

“Soul, how about the two of us go after him?” The Crown of the Dead looked at the Crown of the Soul. “This guy’s abilities and his compatibility with miracles and physical constitution are really too poor.”

After a moment's thought, seeing that Richard did not object, the Soul Surface agreed to the invitation.

The swarm's dominance is indeed a problem for Richard and the Corona.

Of course, this is also a transaction.

Slaying the Mayfly Overlord yields a large share, which is useless to Richard but useful to the Undead Crown and the Soul Crown.

As for why the Constitutional Crown wasn't brought along, it's simply because the Constitutional Crown's current strength isn't of much help.

After evolving, the Swarm Overlord is completely powerless against the Corona of Physique.

The two rulers followed the dimensional migration, leaving traces as they went, leaving only the Corona and Richard behind.

Richard glanced around and smiled at the Crown of Physique, "Although the Celestial Evolution Ruler self-destructed, there are still quite a few remnants remaining."

"Dean, shall we search around a bit before we leave?"

The Constitutional Crown nodded slightly and smiled, "Perfect."

……

The death of the Celestial Evolution Master greatly accelerated the course of the war.

From now on, mayflies will no longer have the possibility of exchanging eggs with wizards.

Even if three of the four Truth Wizards were to be sent to block the Swarm Overlord, the remaining Overlord would be enough to collapse the Star River Mayfly's battle line.

However, judging from the form of occupation, even without a ruler, the battle lines of the Star River Mayfly have not shown any signs of being stable.

The wizards' pincer movement encircled hundreds of worlds in just over a decade.

Although this is only a small part compared to the vast territory of a galaxy, a dozen years is still a short period of time for a civilization.

The defeat of the Milky Way Mayfly is now a foregone conclusion.

……

"Long live the mayfly!"

With a loud chirping sound, a violent energy surge suddenly erupted from the body of a mayfly king.

But before his self-destruction was over, his body froze in place, and the energy reaction within his body also ended.

A figure in black robes appeared in the sky at some unknown time. Although he did not exude any pressure or aura, all the wizards present, regardless of what they were doing, chose to bow slightly.

"I have met the Crown."

Richard nodded, and then the dimensions unfolded.

The next moment, the mayfly king and the star mayflies of the entire world were all taken into the Miracle Dimension.

It took Richard and the Corona of Physique a year to collect the remains of the Celestial Evolution Ruler.

After confirming that there were no more fragments left, the two tacitly began to "bully the weak."

After sweeping away the mayfly king of this world, Richard immediately entered the endless dimensions to travel to the next world.

For the Astral Overlords, the portals are not even as efficient as they can travel through the endless dimensions themselves.

It must be said that this is an extremely efficient way of waging war.

Richard traveled all the way, entered the world, and collected all the mayfly kings and mayflies of that world, all within a week.

Of these three things, the longest is the journey itself, followed by sealing oneself away to enter the world and dealing with the mayfly king and the star mayfly of a world. Ironically, the fastest of the three is the process of dealing with the mayfly king and the star mayfly of a world.

It was at this moment that Richard understood why the Truth Council had been so fixated on top-level battles instead of personally engaging in combat to eliminate the enemy's mid-level and lower-level forces.

Because it was such a crushing defeat.

Overwhelming a civilization will only result in mutual destruction unless you have the strength to crush the other civilization.

If a ruler plays hide-and-seek, it is a huge problem for a civilization.

Civilization cannot exist without exploration, and its leaders cannot keep a close eye on every step of its development.

If everyone chooses this unethical approach, both sides will only grow weaker and weaker, ultimately resulting in a lose-lose situation.

Of course, for the losing side, a lose-lose situation is better than a win-lose situation.

But who can see the outcome before the war even begins?
Suddenly, Richard's body stiffened abruptly.

A terrifying sense of danger made his whole body tense up, and he instantly entered a fighting state.

The next moment, a galaxy mayfly suddenly appeared in the void. This galaxy mayfly looked completely harmless, but its appearance was that of a subspecies that Richard had never seen before.

wrong.

Upon examining the mayfly, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Although he was young, thanks to the legacy of previous civilizations, no wizard could rival him in terms of breadth of knowledge.

Based on his biological judgment, this galaxy mayfly is not like a subspecies, but more like... an ancestor of mayflies.

The first mayflies in the Milky Way!

“Wizard, why bother?” the mayfly said.

"Why bother?"

Richard stared at the galaxy before him, his eyes shifting constantly.

As the layers of veils were peeled away, the true nature of this mayfly was soon revealed to Richard.

"What do you mean, 'what is it'? It's just a dimensional incarnation of a galaxy mayfly,'" Richard said calmly.

Under the observation of the purpose of dispelling illusion, the true nature of this mayfly is fully revealed. It is not a creature of the material world, but rather a dimensional incarnation similar to a guardian of secrets.

However, the avatar of the mayfly dimension seems to be more useful than the Keeper of the Secret.

At least it can actively appear in the present world.

The mayfly dimensional avatar didn't say anything unnecessary; it simply looked calmly at Richard with its compound eyes.

Richard knew that once he passed the test of this dimensional avatar, he would no longer be able to recklessly capture mayflies.

After thinking it over, Richard's energy surged, and his originally black true body turned white at this moment.

When the dimensional avatar of the mayfly saw that Richard was about to fight, its body immediately changed shape, transforming into a figure that Richard somewhat recognized.

"The Celestial Evolution Ruler?" Richard was shocked.

The form that the mayfly dimensional incarnation takes at this moment is exactly what the Heavenly Evolution Ruler looks like.

boom!
A light, as if the world had just begun, exploded in the void.

Richard threw a punch, and the fist light, exceeding one hundred million energy levels, collided with the mayfly dimensional avatar.

But Richard was not pleased at all. Instead, he retreated rapidly, and a nearly solid transparent barrier appeared in front of him in an instant.

Before the barrier could fully develop.

A beam of black light shot out from the light and struck the barrier directly.

It was a stinger with bone spurs!
Richard's expression was grave. The needle looked ordinary, but he sensed a deadly threat within it.

Before he could react, a crisp click made his heart sink.

Click.

Cracks appeared on the transparent barrier, and a strange energy was rapidly destroying the barrier's internal structure.

Richard frowned, and a dimensional force instantly acted upon him.

Suddenly, countless runes lit up on his body.

These runes included Titan, Hearthstone, and Wizard runes—three different systems of runes mixed together, which should have caused the system to explode instantly due to the disorder.

But at this moment, these runes were perfectly transformed into a system in Richard's hands.

This requires not only skill, but also exceptional luck.

boom!
The barrier burst open.

The needle instantly pierced Richard's body.

But at this moment, Richard's runes had already taken shape, and with the runes' blessing, his body suddenly burst into flames.

Amidst the flames, Richard's body resembled an indestructible golden statue.

Ding!
The tail needle pierced the body with a crisp popping sound, and was then bounced away.

The moment it bounced off, a miraculous fire ignited on the tail needle.

The light from the clash of fists slowly dissipated, and the mayfly dimensional avatar emerged from it, completely unharmed. The tail needle was caught behind it, and the Miracle Flame instantly vanished due to the isolation.

"Wizards, you have won this war," the Ephemeral Dimensional Avatar said again.

"Why bother cleaning up those little guys? The world, the work of nature, will eventually fall, and your propaganda is only making those little guys restless."

Before long, mayflies will become vassals of the wizards, and these little creatures will become your help.

You know better than I what we'll face in the future. To deal with the prophesied mastermind of war, we'll always need cannon fodder. Are you trying to kill so many mayflies now so that the wizards will become cannon fodder later?

A look of surprise flashed across Richard's face.

The mayfly's dimensional incarnation was so composed that he was somewhat at a loss.

“…I must clarify that the mayflies are not dead; they have simply been sealed away,” Richard said after a moment of silence.

"And the dark hand you mentioned has already appeared and has already interfered in our war."

Your technological innovations are the masterpieces he guided.

Upon hearing this, the mayfly's dimensional avatar suddenly trembled. In its compound eyes, Li saw an undisguised panic and fear.

Richard felt a sense of foreboding and immediately asked, "What have you found in your archaeological dig? What exactly have you done?"

But the only response the mayfly dimensional avatar gave him was a single gaze.

That gaze was cold and merciless, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, or a vengeful ghost breathing chilling air from behind him.

At the same time, this gaze was incredibly vast, like a god looking down upon the sinners on earth.

Richard's heart skipped a beat.

Those are the eyes of a civilization devourer!
