The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 938 Nineteen Sovereigns, Nineteen Civilizations, Nineteen New Technologies

boom!
With a deafening explosion, the civilization devourer's clone was completely annihilated in the Aether Sea.

Opposite him, Richard's ghostly body was somewhat damaged.

The ancient, vibrant five-colored ghost fire was now dim and lifeless, and its crimson skin was covered with numerous dark, corrosive wounds.

Richard waved his hand casually, and the Miracle Fire purified the wounds.

Then the Miracle Fire ignited the Aether, erasing the corrosive elements in the Aether Sea.

After doing all this, Richard looked across and threw a ball of Miracle Flame. Before him, the Tower Overlord's body was covered in signs of erosion, and its aura was extremely weak.

"Use this to clean up the pollution."

The Tower Overlord caught the Miracle Flame and then set himself ablaze. In this moment of respite, he finally had time to ask the question that had been lingering in his mind.

"What exactly are you fighting? This thing is too eerie. I am a ruler of considerable age, but this thing is more eerie than anything I have ever seen in the endless void."

“That’s normal.” Richard’s tone was somewhat drawn out. “This guy had already transcended the realm of the Overlord in the past, but he was knocked down by the previous generation of civilization in our community and fell back to the Overlord level.”

Even if you reduce your strength to that of a World Lord, you can still reign supreme among World Lords.

"Transcending the Dominator!?"

The voice of the tower's ruler suddenly grew louder, as resonant as a tolling bell.

"How dare you provoke something like this? If it recovers, none of you will escape."

The Tower Overlord seemed to have a considerable understanding of level eight and a half beings who transcended the Overlord realm. Richard could even sense the fear and admiration in his tone as he spoke.

He was terrified that he had to fight such an enemy, but he admired Richard's civilization for daring to provoke such a being.

“Wrong, it wasn’t us who provoked him.” Richard waved his hand and opened a dimensional portal. “This guy feeds on war and civilization. Millions of years ago, he destroyed the previous civilization of this community.”

We... had no choice.

The Tower Overlord fell silent upon hearing this; having no choice was the worst thing in the world.

"Where are you taking me?" the Tower Overlord asked, changing the subject.

“Oh, this is our dimension.” Richard turned around and introduced, “We are polite people. It is not the way to treat guests as mercenaries who have come to fight.”

Moreover, I've invited too many people this time, so the plans for the war zone need to be readjusted.

"With you here, this matter is easier to handle."

The Tower Overlord looked at the dimensional gate and could feel an inexplicable pressure emanating from it.

This is a form of civilizational suppression; his Clock Tower civilization is somewhat weaker than the Wizard Alliance.

This suppression made the Tower Overlord feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Forget it, let's wait until everyone's here before calling me," he refused. "Going to your civilization's dimension is too much of a challenge for me."

"Pressure?" Richard scratched his head. "That's fine, anyway, they're still fighting. They probably won't be back for a while."

The avatar of the Civilization Devourer is not something that can be easily taken down. Richard was able to take it down so easily not only because he himself is quite strong, but also because he has the Miracle Forge protecting him, which gives him an innate advantage in dealing with the Civilization Devourer.

Another important reason is that the civilization devourers did not collect enough information about him.

Almost none of the civilization devourer minions he fought returned alive. And he frequently acquired new knowledge and skills.

For the civilization devourers, these unknowns are the greatest challenge in dealing with Richard.

The reason why the other rulers have not ended the battle is that their methods have been recorded by the civilization devourers. If they do not use new methods, even if they win, it will take them a huge amount of time.

“Since you’re not going, how about you do me a small favor?” Richard said again. “I need someone to look after this theater command for me.”

"Are you going to help?" the Tower Overlord asked curiously.

"Ah."

Richard nodded slightly, his expression serious.

He hadn't had time to think before because of the urgency of the situation. But now that he had stopped, he immediately realized something was wrong with the civilization devourer.

Of the clones sent by the Civilization Devourer, only two had broken through the limits; the rest were mostly ordinary Overlords.

While this method may seem efficient, it is actually a waste.

Wouldn't it be better to use these Overlord clones to surround and kill the Overlord?

Unless, of course, these Overlord clones are superfluous, and the clones used to surround and kill the Overlord are already sufficient.

"Alright. I'll keep an eye on things for you. Also, have your people prepare a batch of metal materials; I need to recover my strength."

"Restore your body?" Richard was slightly taken aback. "You don't know how to create things using the four elements?"

"Four-element creations?" The Tower Overlord's voice carried a hint of astonishment. "You've already begun using this technology?"

“Of course.” Richard nodded, a hint of surprise in his eyes as he looked at the Tower Overlord. “But you, you seem quite strong, so how come you can’t even create a creation of the four elements?”

“That’s too complicated,” the Tower Overlord said helplessly. “Our life form can’t do what you flesh-and-blood creatures do, which can directly absorb the four elements to restore your bodies.”

The Tower Overlords are mechanical lifeforms, similar to the mechanical races of the Natural Federation. While this race can also regenerate, this regeneration occurs by consuming minerals.

Richard hadn't expected that the Tower Overlord, already an eighth-level Overlord, would be recovering using such a primitive method. "I'll arrange for someone to prepare the materials for you, but..." Richard suddenly smiled, "Tower, your recovery method is too outdated. Our technology is much more advanced; I think you could try exchanging ideas."

Upon hearing this, the Tower Overlord was slightly taken aback.

"Technical exchange? Good heavens, you're really greedy, taking everything with you. Fighting for you isn't enough, you want to take our technology too?"

Richard laughed and said, "You'll know once you go and have a chat with them. We have all the technology you need. I think you definitely need a four-element creation machine."

The tower's ruler remained silent, but a slight thought stirred within him.

A fully-fledged four-element creation machine is indeed a very important thing for him. With this technology, the reproduction of their Tower Clan would not require so many resources.

"I will keep an eye on it," the Tower Overlord replied, feigning calmness.

"It's up to you to choose."

Richard didn't continue the sales pitch; if he had, it would have felt like a scam.

He believed that as long as the Tower Overlord was willing to try, the deal would definitely succeed.

"Nineteen rulers, nineteen civilizations—hopefully these technologies will allow us to take another step forward."

With that thought in mind, Richard issued an order to the theater command and then stepped into the dimensional portal behind him.

The Tower Overlord watched Richard leave, then entered the world behind him.

In the world, the Great Wizard of Embers, who had received Richard's order, immediately rose to greet the Tower Overlord.

"You must be Lord High Tower. Lord Coronation has already explained your request to me. What kind of metal do you require?"

As he spoke, the Great Wizard of Ember Rekindled took out a variety of metal materials from his pocket.

As a wizard, even a member of the Evocation school, he inevitably carried some alchemical materials. Just like wizards of the alchemy school, he also inevitably used Evocation magic.

The Tower Overlord glanced at them and asked, "How much of these materials do you have?"

The Great Wizard bowed slightly as the embers reignited: "This world currently only has a few scattered materials. However, whenever you need them, we can send materials from the rear at any time. We can provide as much as you require."

"So extravagant?"

The Tower Overlord was somewhat surprised, because among the materials shown to him by the Great Wizard of Rekindled Embers were many world-class specialties.

The production volume of this level of material should be fixed; it is absolutely impossible to produce as much as needed.

unless……

"Is your four-element creation technology so advanced?" the Tower Overlord asked.

The Great Wizard smiled slightly as the embers reignited: "Haha, thanks to His Majesty the Crown, our Four Elements Creation Machines rarely malfunction. So the supply of materials is quite abundant."

The Tower Overlord was shocked, gaining a deeper understanding of the Wizard Alliance's strength.

He clicked his tongue inwardly, thinking, "They've actually made the four-element creation machine widespread? No wonder it could suppress me so much... But it's good that it's powerful. Perhaps I can find what I need from their technology."

After thinking for a moment, the Tower Sovereign said, "Then let's start with 10,000 cubic meters each. In addition, the Miracle Wizard told me that we can have technical exchanges, and I am somewhat interested in that."

Upon hearing this, the Great Wizard thought to himself, "The Crown Prince is indeed a prophet."

In his orders to Richard, he instructed him to bring over a skilled and quick-witted technician from the rear for technical exchange.

"No problem, I'll send a technician over from the rear right away."

……

"How's the new body?"

In the coffin hall, Gao Wen looked at Asu, who was adapting to her body, and asked with some concern.

"It feels okay."

Asu was naked, and on his neck, a noticeable scar showed an unhealthy reddish hue.

The battle between the Golden Eagle Overlord and the Civilization Devourer lasted for two days, ultimately ending with the Civilization Devourer's defeat and retreat. With the Golden Eagle Overlord's assistance, the battle within the World Ring also quickly concluded.

Gawain was also able to have time to prepare a new body for Asu.

"But it's a bit... too young."

"Tender?"

Gao Wen didn't quite understand what Asu was saying.

“It’s just that there’s no muscle memory.” Asu described it in words that Gawain could understand. “Although this body’s physique remains the same, it hasn’t been trained. So some things that I used to be able to use instinctively now require me to think before I can use them, and they might not even be as good as they used to be.”

As he spoke, Asu casually waved his hand, and a loud bang immediately echoed in the air.

"Look, the power of my attack this time is clearly three percent less than before."

Gao Wen shook his head; he didn't understand this feeling.

He was an alchemist, and the vast majority of his body was made of alchemical components. He had long since lost the ability to retain muscle memory.

He waved his hand dismissively and said, "If it's gone, we'll just start training again. The floating city fleet was destroyed by that monster, so we should have some peace and quiet for a while."
