The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 873 Dimensional Collapse Cannon

Astral Plane, a territory occupied by civilization devourers.

Inside the gray building, which resembles a giant chimney, countless furnace workers move about like worker ants.

They moved silently; there wasn't even a sound of footsteps in the entire building. Whether in the rooms or the corridors, the only sounds were the slight vibrations from the machinery.

Suddenly, the furnace dwellers in the building all stopped in their tracks. Or rather, all living things in the world stopped in their tracks.

Because a grand consciousness descended upon this world and took over the minds of everyone.

Richard's repeated exceeding of expectations was somewhat beyond the expectations of the civilization devourers.

Whether it's the ghost mask, the current energy singularity, or Richard's ability to constrain gravity using the rules of gravity, all of these are beyond His expectations.

The gravitational force that binds a singularity is not something that can be achieved simply by talking.

To achieve this, it is not enough to simply master the rules of gravity and have a thorough understanding of its mysteries. It also requires the assistance of dimensional forces.

This kind of assistance is an extremely profound application of dimensional power.

Even in previous civilizations, only the civilization leaders and a few very old rulers could use this method.

In contemporary civilization, the civilization devourers have not found a single ruler with such knowledge.

This should have been an impossible thing to happen.

But now, this has actually happened.

Fortunately, He had a backup plan.

Since using the Dominator Puppet won't achieve the desired effect, the only option left is to reveal a trump card to accomplish the objective.

Under the control of the civilization devourers, the furnace people and Titans of the entire world began to coordinate with each other as precisely as mechanical gears.

The furnace workers inside the giant chimney building began to move, checking energy pipelines, activating energy valves, starting reactors... Everyone was busy with their own tasks, but none of their activities interfered with each other.

And buildings like these are everywhere in this miniature world.

As the machines inside these buildings were activated, an unimaginable surge of energy began to reverberate across the land.

The immense energy flowed through pipes buried beneath the earth and then converged into a towering tower at the center of the world.

The tower's foundation is constructed from adamantite and mithril, and within it, numerous machines made from dimensional treasures and astral materials are operating at full capacity under the Titan's control.

If these machines were in the Wizarding Alliance, even the Overlord would covet them. But here, they are just one of many machines.

hum!
A massive spatial rift appeared beside the tower, and an amorphous object bound by black chains fell into this world.

If a sovereign were present at this moment, he would surely recognize that this is a dimensional fragment, and a rather large one at that.

If there were one or two more of these fragments, it could even directly transform a level seven overlord into a level eight overlord, just like when the furnace people instilled Richard with their dimension.

The moment the fragments fell into the world, several Titans emerged from the tower and quickly transported the fragments into the tower.

At the center of the tower, this fragment was placed in a giant reactor. Stimulated by energy and dimensional forces, the seal on the fragment instantly collapsed, causing the fragment itself to disintegrate as well.

In an instant, an unimaginable dimensional force surged out from the reactor.

This force merged with the energy of other buildings, constantly transforming within the tower. With each floor it passed, a floor of the tower became unusable. Those priceless, invaluable machines became consumables at this moment.

Finally, this power converged at the top of the tower, and a dimensional rift resembling an eye appeared there.

On the other side of the rift, Mount Kron is struggling in the gravitational tide.

……

Richard was instantly horrified the moment he saw the crack appear.

In his eyes, the danger behind the crack was almost tangible, erupting like a volcanic eruption.

Richard had only one thought in his mind.

逃!
At the same time, the last layer of the tower behind the rift shattered with a loud "boom," and a dazzling torrent of energy surged out of the tower, flowing into the rift at the speed of light, and then shooting toward Richard at an unimaginable speed.

On its path forward, whether it was Mount Krona, the energy singularity, or the surging mountains and seas that tried to intercept the glittering light, all turned into nothingness.

Faced with this torrent, Richard once again felt powerless.

A sense of powerlessness that ordinary people feel when faced with natural disasters.

The defenses between mountains and seas are now broken.

The energy barrier has shattered.

Gravitational deflection has a weak effect.

Energy manipulation, but with minimal effect.

Dimensional expansion, life and death cycles, probability manipulation...

In that instant, Richard used almost all his abilities, and even his body underwent a transformation comparable to the evolution of the Celestial Evolution Master.

Richard is a contradictory person. Although he accepts his fate, he is by no means a puppet to be manipulated by fate.

In the face of natural disasters, human power may be weak, but it is by no means useless!

boom--

A powerful surge of energy engulfed Richard's body.

Then, the void fell silent.

A Overlord puppet that wasn't in the path of this attack arrived at Richard's location and gathered some information.

Then, a message was transmitted back to the colossal body of the Civilization Devourer: [Dimensional Annihilation Cannon working well]

……

In the void, a drifting object, resembling a meteorite, streaked across the sky.

In the endless void, energy and matter are extremely rare.

In such an environment, without external intervention, an object traveling at the speed of light could fly for thousands of years without stopping.

However, the speed of this drifting object reached tens of thousands of times the speed of light.

Logically speaking, this drifting object would not stop drifting for dozens of epochs.

Bang

Suddenly, a dimensional rift appeared in the void.

A world lord who came to explore endless dimensions emerged from it and crashed headfirst into the drifting object.

In an instant, the body of the world's ruler turned into a blood mist—an object traveling at tens of thousands of times the speed of light was far beyond what a world's ruler could withstand.

To suffer an unexpected attack in endless dimensions can only be described as bad luck for this world ruler.

After passing through the Lord of the World, the drifting objects slowed down considerably.

Stimulated by the flesh and blood of the Lord of the World, the drifting object suddenly trembled slightly.

A profound sense of unease and vulnerability awakened within the drifting debris.

"I actually survived... It seems I'm unlikely to die before the civilization devourers break free from their fate."

The will that awakened within the drifting object was naturally Richard, and this drifting object, which resembled a meteorite, was the body that Richard evolved under the threat of the dimensional collapse cannon.

Under the dimensional collapse cannon, Richard's massive true form, which was hundreds of thousands of meters tall, was reduced to a body no bigger than the palm of an ordinary person.

However, this was not a problem for Richard.

Once he returns to the material world, he can easily restore his true form.

The real problem is that Richard's entire soul was almost torn apart by the dimensional collapse cannon in order to protect this piece of flesh that was equivalent to a seed.

His current mental strength is almost the same as that of a newly promoted level one creature.

Under this mental pressure, Richard couldn't even expand his dimensions, let alone open a dimensional rift to return to the material world, or even use coordinates to precisely return to the wizarding world.

Dimensional travel also requires a foundation of mental strength.

"This is a bit troublesome," Richard said, sounding troubled.

He is now in the same predicament as Ulysses before him; his soul has been shattered to the point that its self-healing ability is almost nonexistent.

He must now enter the material world, then use this physical body to create a usable one, and then scavenge soul essence to activate the soul's regenerative abilities.

Once he returns to the level of a world master, he can use dimensional power to open dimensional gates.

All that's left is to restore it normally.

As the owner of the Forge of Miracles, even without the aid of civilization resources, he can recover to his peak condition in a dozen years by hunting in other dimensions.

However, all of this is predicated on his ability to return to the material world.

He can't return to the material world; all his thoughts are just wishful thinking.

"Forget it, let's stop for now. Flying aimlessly isn't a solution."

Having assessed his current situation, Richard quickly decided on the first thing he needed to do—to stop.

He is currently traveling at thousands of times the speed of light, and if left unchecked, he will only fly further and further away.

The farther you fly, the less likely you are to encounter creatures from the same world community.

With a thought, Richard's meteorite-like body instantly generated a gravitational force, which then became a resistance to his body as Richard flipped over.

The bombardment of the Dimensional Collapse Cannon was not entirely bad for Richard. Under the pressure of the Dimensional Collapse Cannon, Richard's body successfully touched the boundary.

Normally, this process should have taken decades.

Now, as long as he recovers his true form, he can immediately break through the limits.

Using gravity as a barrier, it took Richard almost three months to bring himself to a complete stop.

In this process, he continuously uses gravity to gather surrounding matter and energy, so that this flesh and blood seed can become larger.

"Phew, that was really tough."

A gash appeared in Richard's body, swallowing the surrounding matter whole. But even this small amount of matter, when gathered together, couldn't fill a person's fingernail.

For Richard's current situation, this is simply a drop in the ocean.

Richard felt a sense of despair.

If this continues, it's like a civilization devourer swallowing up the entire world community; it probably hasn't even left the endless dimension yet.

The price of this misfortune is far too high.

However, before Richard could finish complaining, a figure appeared in front of him.

A strange creature, resembling a large tree but exuding a strong aura of flesh and blood, approached him and uttered a complaint that sounded almost like a curse at the void.

"Damn it! That thing was definitely flying in this direction! How could it not be here!"
