The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 936 An Unfavorable Development

A clone that has broken through limits—this is something Richard has never encountered in his previous battles.

Richard didn't believe that clones of this level had always existed, but the civilization devourers had simply not used them.

Its appearance now is absolutely due to the resurgence of the power of the civilization devourer.

The avatar of the civilization devourer looked at Richard, and the greed in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by an inhuman coldness.

Richard felt as if he wasn't facing a living being, but rather a cold machine disguised as one.

Without a word or a superfluous movement, the civilization devourer's avatar appeared beside Richard almost instantly. A violent mini-dimensional annihilation cannon erupted around him like a storm; at such close range, Richard had no chance to dodge.

The enormous body of the demon was instantly engulfed by the small-dimensional annihilation cannon.

But the next moment, the warhammer, burning with the flames of miracles, flew out of the light and smashed into the face of the civilization devourer.

With a crack, the head of the civilization devourer shattered, and the surging flames of miracles spread across its body as if they were alive.

However, compared to the past, this time, the flame of miracles spread somewhat more slowly.

After burning for a period of time, the Miracle Flame miraculously extinguished itself on the civilization devourer.

As the light from the Small Dimension Collapse Cannon faded, Richard stood there, his body completely enveloped in a black and gold armor covered in mysterious patterns.

During the past six months, Richard not only altered his soul structure but also received the inheritance of the Black Gold Armor and, incidentally, made use of the bronze round shield.

Although the bronze round shield was destroyed, as a treasure of a civilization, its material was naturally extraordinary. It belonged to the category of "imaginary materials" in alchemy, that is, perfect materials with contradictory properties.

This imaginary material is considered an excellent raw material for the weaving of dimensional threads. Through the absorption and transformation of dimensions, the bronze round shield was transformed into dimensional threads, which Richard then incorporated into his black and gold armor.

The current black and gold armor material already possesses some characteristics of bronze round shields, and the mysterious patterns on it are symbolic.

After Richard received the inheritance, the black and gold armor also demonstrated its full power.

As a piece of armor, the Black Gold Armor possesses a noble energy storage and damage reflection mechanism. In other words, this armor absorbs attacks received and unleashes them at a certain point in time according to the user's will.

In addition, it also has the ability to combine with other objects.

By connecting with the mountains and seas, all attacks that cannot be absorbed by the Black Gold Armor will be distributed to each artifact.

In other words, if Richard dares to materialize dimensions, then the civilization devourer must possess the ability to destroy an entire dimension in one strike in order to defeat him.

Of course, Richard wasn't that crazy.

He is currently using a giant secret realm pieced together from fragments of a secret realm. After this giant secret realm was initially pieced together, it was reinforced by a split of the Great World Tree and then made by Richard into a portable magical armor as a damage-bearing component of the Black Gold Armor.

Don't assume that secret realms are unreliable just because you hear about them. In fact, without the world barrier, the strength of a secret realm connected by the World Tree is not much different from the strength of the world itself.

Moreover, compared to the world, giant secret realms are so cheap that you won't feel bad even if they break.

If he weren't in such a rush, Richard could have even prepared hundreds of massive dungeons, dedicated to enchanting them, and then used them as the damage-bearing components of the Black Gold Armor.

"Starting with a small-dimensional annihilation cannon, how cautious."

Richard's voice was as gentle as the wind, but his actions were as swift as a torrent.

The demon god, engulfed in five-colored flames, suddenly swung its warhammer. Gravity erupted from the hammer, instantly turning tens of thousands of kilometers around into a vacuum. All the ether was drawn in by gravity, transforming into a black hole no bigger than a pinhead.

This time, however, Richard did not use gravity directly as a means of attack.

"Without the Boundary Annihilation Stone, the Black Hole can still be used, albeit barely."

Richard swung his warhammer, smashing it down on the civilization devourer along with the black hole.

In an instant, the black hole pierced through all the defenses of the civilization devourer and entered its body.

The civilization devourer did not react; its two arms instantly transformed into dozens of tentacles, which pierced into Richard's body.

For Him, this type of material attack was utterly futile.

The viscous black liquid sealed the black hole the moment it entered and then began to erode it.

But would Richard forget such a crucial weakness?

hum!
A piercing buzzing sound suddenly emanated from within the civilization devourer.

A smile appeared on Richard's face, and a miraculous fire suddenly ignited within him, freeing him from the shackles of the civilization devourer.

"Ether bombs are really useful."

The Aether Bomb is a technology inherited from the Black Armor civilization. The civilization that gave birth to the Black Gold Armor had a profound understanding of Aether, a substance that permeates the astral plane.

In their research, ether is a fifth element separate from the four elements. It inherently possesses the ability to erode everything in this world.

Even the world's natural barriers can be eroded by the Ether Sea, which in turn consumes the world's primordial power, causing it to slowly weaken.

Taking advantage of this characteristic, the Black Armor Civilization created a series of weapons based on ether.

Among these, the technology they called "All Things Become One" was particularly powerful. By compressing a high concentration of ether and supplementing it with dimensional power, this technology could even kill a Overmind in an instant at the right moment. However, Richard felt that the name "All Things Become One" was not very intuitive, and suggested calling it the "Ether Bomb."

The etheric black hole exploded inside the civilization devourer's body. The highly compressed ether, combined with dimensional power, instantly disintegrated the civilization devourer's body like a tidal wave.

The body of the civilization devourer is not a unique substance like the Boundary Annihilation Stone, which transcends the four elements.

Moreover, according to the Grand Elder, civilization devourers are not immune to etheric corruption.

As a precaution, the flame of miracles was reignited in Richard.

The transformation of flesh and blood into the four elements made Richard realize that the four elements are not necessarily immutable. For a being who has transcended the realm of the Overlord in the past, it is possible that the four elements within him have also been altered.

boom!
The Miracle Fire ignited the moment it touched the Sea of ​​Aether, and under its illumination, a hazy black mist suddenly appeared in the Sea of ​​Aether.

Richard, without even realizing it, had already been enveloped by them.

"Sure enough, it's good that I was careful."

Richard saw the black mist and a chill ran through him. This was naturally a contingency plan of the civilization devourers. While it posed no problem for him, it was a different story if it were the floating city fleet.

These things were of no use to Richard, but to mortals and great wizards, they were deadly poison.

Even a sixth-circle archmage, if not aware of the problem in time, will be completely corrupted by this thing and become nourishment and claws of the civilization devourer.

Furthermore, the floating city fleet will enter the World Ring. Once the pollution spreads into the World Ring, this Nexus world will be destroyed. Moreover, the World Ring, which the alchemists are so proud of, will become a huge obstacle to their reconquest of this world.

Richard felt a slight sense of relief after clearing away the black mist from the Aether Sea. But before he could return to clear the Hearth Legion from the World Ring, a message was transmitted to him through the Wizard Dimension.

"Your Majesty, the Nexus 12 has been attacked, and the arrival of the Overlord has also been discovered."

Again! ?
A look of surprise flashed across Richard's face.

Could it be that he was really wrong, and that the civilization devourers did not actually launch a major attack on the Spirit Desert Civilization?
But before he could set off for World Twelve, new news arrived.

"Your Majesty, the 11th Nexus World has been attacked. The enemy Overlord has breached the World Ring defenses."

"Your Majesty, traces of the Overlord have also been discovered in Nexus Worlds 5 and 6!"

"Nexus World III has been attacked..."

Listening to the continuous stream of messages from the war zone command, Richard's good mood after annihilating the civilization devourer's clone vanished.

"Is this guy's main target wizard?"

Richard sensed something was wrong, because the Civilization Devourers had no reason to attack wizards, but the current situation didn't allow him to hesitate any longer.

He had to deal with these mindless minions of civilization devourers.

……

In the Bewitching Dimension, Richard's clone idly stared at the spellbook in his hand.

The dire situation from his original self also surfaced in his mind, but as an avatar, he knew that his greatest role now was to learn and wait.

Suddenly, the thick fog surged like flowing water.

A faint yet overwhelming pressure, like a mountain pressing down, seeped silently into Richard's senses.

Richard, the clone, looked up and closed the spellbook in his hand.

In the mist, a massive shadow slowly appeared before Richard's clone.

"A clone? Is your war that intense?" The behemoth looked at Richard's clone, a hint of surprise in its voice.

“If the war hadn’t been so intense, I wouldn’t have called you,” Richard the clone said calmly. “Six months is too short.”

As the colossal creature approached, the dense fog gradually thinned.

From the mist, a giant golden eagle appeared before Richard.

The Golden Eagle Overlord is one of the few Overlords in the Labyrinth who has broken through the limits. Richard is not clear about its abilities, but judging from the sharp aura emanating from it, Richard deduces that it is an Overlord focused on offense.

"It's a pleasure to see you again, Your Excellency Golden Eagle."

“But I’m not very happy, Miracle Wizard.” The Golden Eagle Overlord’s voice carried a hint of barely perceptible anger. “If I hadn’t been proficient in the art of reproduction, your words would have almost cost me a child that was about to be born.”

Heir?

Richard was taken aback, then a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Ahem, I'm very sorry to have disturbed your enjoyment."

The Golden Eagle Overlord glared at Richard, and his aura suddenly receded.

"Open the door, miracle wizard. Let me see your war."
