The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 831 Wizard Alliance
The expansion of the civilization devourers is a foregone conclusion, and under these circumstances, it is clearly not enough for wizards to fight against them on their own.

Of course, even if there are enough, the wizard will still need to bring in other civilizations.

Civilization devourers pose a threat to the civilizations of the entire world community; we cannot rely solely on the wizarding civilization to contribute.

However, if an alliance is to be established, then the handling of the swarm of insect overlords will be of great use.

As a civilization defeated by wizards, how they are dealt with can directly influence other civilizations' perceptions of wizards.

Moreover, if an alliance is to be formed, it will inevitably create a structure similar to a parliament.

If the swarm overlord can participate in the vote, it will definitely be a good thing for the wizard—provided that he actually cooperates.

The Overlord of the Swarm was no fool; he guessed Richard's thoughts the moment Richard mentioned the flag.

The Insect Overlord sighed, "As expected, you wizards are indeed cunning."

Richard corrected him, saying, "This is called mutual benefit. Do you really want to be trapped in a small world and slowly die of old age?"

The swarm leader did not answer.

The change of contract was indeed of great benefit to him. The freedom alone was enough to make him happy.

As a loser, what can he possibly hope for?

However, as one of the leaders of a civilization, it was hard for him to accept that his own future was being used as a bargaining chip.

"So where am I going for the next period of time?" the Swarm Overlord asked, changing the subject.

Richard waved his hand, and a thirteen-ring self-changing rune model mixed with dimensional power appeared beside him.

"Until the contract is signed, I can only trouble you to stay by my side."

The insect overlord twitched its antennae.

"You should know that this thing is useless to me."

As a Gestalt being, if his dimension is not destroyed, he will not die, and even sealing him is useless.

Because the Swarm Overlord is essentially a species with a collective consciousness, as long as the sub-individuals within the dimension continue to produce, the Swarm Overlord will be immortal.

Richard nodded slightly, but the seal was not removed.

"This is a matter of attitude."

The insect swarm remained silent, offering no resistance as Richard sealed it away.

After completing the seal, Li examined the insect overlord, which resembled an amber, and tossed it into the pocket at his waist.

Then, he looked at Aldridge not far away and laughed, "It has been sealed away."

After Richard finished speaking, Aldridge's body trembled violently, and then it transformed into its most commonly used form of black mist.

Richard looked at Aldridge with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Aldridge had somehow become a Level 5 creature.

"You've evolved quite well during this time. When did you become a level five creature?"

A cheerful mental fluctuation emanated from the black mist, like a child showing off their new exam results.

"Just recently, I ate a whole mayfly king and then I evolved."

Richard nodded slightly and smiled, "Not bad, not bad."

As he spoke, he pulled a piece of meat from his pocket that emitted a faint aura of power. The moment Aldridge saw the meat, his entire body shuddered, and he shrank back into a black ball.

“What’s there to be afraid of?” Richard chuckled and patted the black sphere. “This is the body of a ruler. Wuxiang reached level six in alchemy, so I can’t show favoritism.”

Upon hearing this, Aldridge carefully wrapped the piece of meat, and then emitted an excited mental fluctuation.

"My lord, I sense the signs of evolution. It won't be long before I catch up with Wuxiang."

Richard smiled but didn't say anything.

For him, Aldridge, the Impermanence, Ulysses, and even the World Mushroom and Ellie offered no combat support.

Their greatest significance lies in serving as an anchor, making him feel that he is still connected to the world.

Make him feel that everything he does has meaning.

Back in the secret realm, Richard resumed creating a body, awaiting the return of alchemy and energy manipulation.

……

boom!
In the pitch-black void, four ineffable beings clashed. The mere aftershocks of the collision were enough to obliterate a level six creature.

"World, you have already lost."

Within the dimension, the Energy-Shaping Crown, resembling a deity, spoke.

"Your dimension has been completely severed from the mayfly dimension; your defeat is only a matter of time."

Do you really expect to achieve a breakthrough on the spot, like physical evolution?

On the other side, the World Ruler remained unmoved. Like the Corona of Energy, he also had a large world beside him.

But compared to the Corona of Energy, his world is somewhat smaller.

Over the past three years, he has not only fought against the Evoking Overlord, but also against the minions of the Civilization Devourer.

That was a minion at the limit-breaking level. If he hadn't joined forces with the Evoking Crown, that minion would probably have already devoured him and become part of that civilization devourer.

Around them, the Celestial Craftsman and the Alchemist Crown are also clashing.

Both were leading figures in their respective civilizations in terms of "tools," and their transformed forms were naturally the crystallization of their "skills."

The Alchemist Crown sat at the center of a purely alchemical mechanical world, his every move commanding countless alchemical golems, like the lord of an army. Opposite him, the Celestial Craftsman, though possessing a physical body, was the flesh and blood technology of the Star River Mayfly.

With every move, countless crystal galaxy mayflies manipulated flesh and blood creations, colliding with the mechanical legion of the Alchemy Crown, like a tidal wave of flesh and blood.

boom!
The four figures suddenly separated.

The four Limit Breakers gazed at each other from afar, their thoughts racing through their minds.

"World, leave," the Celestial Master said.

"The swarm of insects has already borne the humiliation for us; there is no point in us continuing."

The World Ruler remained silent, and the message from the Insect Ruler was not sent to the Celestial Craftsman Ruler alone.

Opposite them, the two Crowned Evolvers, Ethereal and Alchemist, also received news from the rear. Upon learning that the Swarm Overmind had surrendered, they knew that the war was over.

Without a word, the World Ruler and the Celestial Craftsman Ruler tore open the void and received what the Insect Ruler had left them—sealed insect eggs, containing almost all the subspecies of the Star River Mayfly.

"Thank the swarm of insects for me."

The World Ruler's voice was deep, and then a contract appeared before the four Limit Break Rulers.

Although the wizards wanted to end the battle, it was clear that neither the Cosmic Corona nor the Alchemy Corona would allow the world and the craftsmen to leave without any restrictions.

The Sculptor Crown glanced at the contract. Its contents were simple: the World Ruler and the Celestial Craftsman would leave and never return to this world community. Furthermore, their descendants would never set foot in this world community again. The wizards would not pursue or kill the two.

"What do you think of this contract? Alchemy."

The Alchemist Sovereign paused for a moment before replying, "The defeated must act like the defeated. Giving up land is not enough; there must be reparations."

The four existential spirits constantly collided, and the content of the contract was constantly modified.

Ultimately, in addition to the original terms, the contract added a clause stipulating that any Star River Mayfly that leaves today, and its descendants, must not become enemies of the wizard in the future.

In addition, the two rulers of the world and the heavens took out enough treasures from their own treasuries to fill a miniature world as compensation for the wizarding civilization.

This compensation nearly wiped out the two rulers' accumulated wealth over the years, but as the losers, this outcome was already excellent.

The native inhabitants of those worlds colonized by the galaxy mayflies did not even suffer such a fate; they all disappeared into the long river of history.

Watching the World Ruler and the Celestial Craftsman Ruler leave, the two Crowned Energizers exchanged a glance, then opened a dimensional gate and returned to the Wizard Dimension.

Now, only one last thing needs to be done regarding the Star River Mayfly project.

……

Wizard Dimension, the City of Eternal Truth.

"We have achieved a complete victory in the war against the Star River Mayflies. The World and the Celestial Craftsmen have left this world community and will never return. The mayflies they took with them will also no longer be enemies of the Wizards."

In the conference room, the Energy Crown casually recounted the fates of the two Limit Breakers.

Then, applause rang out in the conference room.

This is undoubtedly good news for wizards.

Their war with the Star Mayflies is finally over; now their only enemy is the Civilization Devourer.

The applause ceased, and both the Energy Crown and the Alchemy Crown turned to look at Richard.

The Alchemist Crown asked, "Miracle, what are the conditions for the swarm of insects to surrender?"

“He wants to protect the Star Mayflies in our hands, to free them from being mere cannon fodder or industrial raw materials,” Richard said calmly.

"That's all?" The Energizing Crown raised an eyebrow. "Then why did you propose to amend his contract?"

"It's very simple. In the upcoming war, we can't be the only ones contributing."

Richard sat up straight, a sharp glint in his eyes.

"But as for the Civilization Devourer, let alone whether we can win, even if we can win, it won't do me any good in fighting this monster that threatens the entire world community."

I believe we should form an alliance, an alliance led by wizards.

"...A wizard-led alliance, that certainly sounds wonderful," the Alchemist Crown said in a deep voice, "but what does that have to do with the insect swarm's pact?"

“It is a flag.” Richard repeated what he had said to the Overlord of the swarm.

"...You are all intelligent people. A civilization that can tolerate even its past enemies in order to fight against civilization devourers is obviously more sincere."

Moreover, it can also serve as a vote, contributing to our leading alliance.

Silence fell over the meeting room. Richard's point was indeed valid; it was better to have the Swarm Overlord as a limited ally than to keep it under control.

However, the hatred between the wizard and the Star River Mayfly made them somewhat hesitant.

“Its contract can be optimized, but the Star Mayfly must be restricted,” said the Cosmic Corona.

Richard smiled and said, "Restrictions are definitely necessary; wizard civilization is a wizard civilization."

After several exchanges, the treatment plan for the star mayfly was quickly developed.

The Star River Mayflies will exist as a vassal race, possessing a certain degree of autonomy, and will join the Wizard Alliance.

Vassal states are required to share technology with the wizards, and in terms of resources, they must hand over 50% of their mining output to the wizards. In warfare, they are required to participate in all wars that the wizards need them to participate in.

The contract of the swarm of insect overlords has also been optimized. Although they are limited to one world in the material world, they have the freedom to travel to endless dimensions.

A vote was taken by show of hands, and the decision regarding the handling of the mayfly was passed unanimously.

Thus, the war between the wizards and the Star Mayflies came to a complete end.

The Wizarding Alliance has stepped onto the stage of history.
