The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 958 Heroes Always Appear at Crucial Moments
hum - hum - hum -

A torrential downpour of purple flashes streaked across the sky, accompanied by a piercing hum of energy.

In the sky, the massive war fortress resembled a floating continent, making the already gloomy world even darker.

Countless Hearthman warships flew out from them, leading wave after wave of Hearthman armies into battle.

boom!
A torrential downpour of purple flashes collided with the Furnace People's fleet. The purple flashes instantly pierced through the warships' energy barriers and left one melted hole after another on their physical armor.

The rainstorm soon ended.

More than half of the Furnacemen's fleet was melted down, and the remaining ships had to adjust the power of their barrier generators to the maximum.

"Warmer calling Big Guy, Warmer calling Big Guy, there's a long-range cluster position sniping the fortress fleet, stretch your muscles."

The messages from the Furnace People traveled through the communication system into the world beyond. Beyond the world, countless ships, resembling floating islands, divided the skies above a significant portion of the world. Between them, countless reconnaissance aircraft constantly observed every movement on the ground.

With the appearance of information about the Furnace People, these sky island-like ships immediately began to move.

"Coordinates 1245, 4579, prepare for airborne strike." The Titan commander's cold voice came through the communication system. "Repeat, coordinates 1245, 4579, prepare for airborne strike."

"Airborne strike force has been received."

At the lowest level of the ship, Titans over ten meters tall, clad in rune armor, began entering the drop pods. These Titans were nearly as powerful as World Lords, and their legion's strength had increased after the Civilization Devourer recovered from its injuries.

Some elite legions from previous civilization alliances began to appear on a large scale.

A guiding beam shot out from the lower level of the fleet. The crimson light pierced through the world barrier and precisely locked onto the Eye Demon's long-range concentrated attack position.

Immediately afterwards, the airborne strike began.

The bottom of the sky island ship opened, and a trail of flames lit up the back of the drop pod as it crashed into the position like a meteorite.

hum!hum!hum!
The piercing alarm echoed through the firing range, and then the commander's orders rang in the ears of every beholder in the range.

"Airborne strike detected. Conduct full-scale interception."

In an instant, tens of thousands of beyond-visual-range artillery positions across the entire concentrated firing range shifted simultaneously.

These transforming turrets appear as huge icosahedrons, each face adorned with numerous patterns, and the material appears extremely heavy.

However, upon closer inspection, one can sense a slight sense of disharmony, as if this substance should not exist in this world.

Immediately afterwards, these turrets changed shape like clay, and the patterns on their surfaces changed accordingly. In the blink of an eye, these turrets transformed into a group of things that looked like pepper shakers.

Energy continuously accumulates within the pepper pot, and the highly concentrated energy almost distorts space itself.

In the sky, the flames from the drop pods resembled shooting stars, but the Eye Demon Commander hesitated to issue any orders.

He seemed to be waiting for the right moment.

Suddenly, the huge drop pod split apart, turning into dozens of smaller drop pods that fell to the ground like petals scattered by a fairy.

It was at this moment that the Eye Demon Commander issued his order.

"Maximum output, unleash your power."

hum!
A purple beam of light, over a meter in diameter, shot into the sky, precisely focusing on each drop pod. The violent energy instantly tore through the drop pods' defenses and annihilated the Titans within at an astonishing speed.

Even though the Titans' strength has reached a level close to that of a World Lord, in the current war, a Level 4 World Lord is nothing more than a super soldier.

As all the drop pods were cleared, the Eye Demon Commander's voice was filled with excitement.

"Threat eliminated, continue beyond-visual-range strikes."

The turrets immediately changed shape, preparing to continue their mission. But before they could return to their icosahedral form, the piercing alarm sounded again.

This time, the alarm sounded even more intensely, like the wails of demons in hell, sending chills down one's spine.

"This is bad, we need to move to a different position!"

The moment the alarm sounded, the Eye Demon Commander's command also rang out in the communication system.

At that moment, all the gun emplacements transformed into shuttle-shaped formations, advancing towards the next position like a school of fish.

They have been fighting the civilization devourers for a long time and have developed a comprehensive set of countermeasures against various attacks... Boom!

A flash of light streaked across the sky and landed precisely in the center of the Eye Demon's position.

Immediately afterwards, the violent gravity tore through space, swallowing up the eye demons that had not yet escaped the area.

Seeing this, the commander of the Eye Demons underground was taken aback.

"Gravity strike... Damn it, these guys' attack speed has exceeded our reconnaissance limits, report it immediately!"

Before he could finish speaking, another flash of light streaked across the sky.

This time, the flash's target was right in the center of the Eye Demon's group.

boom!
An invisible gravitational storm reappeared, instantly wiping out the entire team.

……

"Position No. 7895 has been destroyed, with 32 personnel remaining. Intelligence has confirmed that the enemy's strength has increased compared to before, and the use of destructive weapons has become routine."

At the headquarters, the Eye Demon Commander listened to his subordinates' reports without uttering a sound.

After a long pause, the commander-in-chief spoke up: "What are your thoughts on the routine use of such destructive weapons?"

The commander-in-chief's eyes swept around him, and none of the dozen or so Eye Demon commanders around him made a sound.

What opinions could they possibly have about this?

Destruction weapons are the most powerful weapons available in basic warfare. Depending on their type, some of these weapons can easily destroy fortresses, while others can wipe out an entire army in an instant.

To counter weapons of destruction, the only option is to retaliate with even more weapons of destruction.

As long as you kill the enemy before they can make a move, you don't need to worry about using the weapon of destruction.

However, their current location prevented any of them from issuing the order to retaliate.

Their current battlefield is the Eternal Dark World, the mother world of the Eye Demon race.

If the war were to turn into a war of destructive weapons, the damage to the mother world would be immeasurable.

This responsibility can only be borne by the elders. The commanders themselves are simply not up to the task.

"Nobody's going to talk? If nobody's going to talk, then I'll talk."

The commander-in-chief looked at the silent commanders and spoke calmly.

"We have now reached the most critical moment. If we cannot achieve victory, then all our protection of the Mother World will be meaningless."

Therefore, I am now issuing the order from the commander-in-chief: all destructive weapons are fully deactivated, and usage rights are delegated to the field commanders.

After speaking, the commander-in-chief's gaze swept over the numerous commanders.

Do you have any objections?

"...Yes, Commander-in-Chief."

……

"Haha, bug, come with me to the Astral Plane."

In the boundless sea of ​​ether, a colossal dimensional portal suddenly opened. Immediately afterwards, a black giant rode out from it, riding a gigantic nematode.

Dimensional nematodes are among the most terrifying creatures in the endless dimensions, but that doesn't mean they remain powerful once they come to the astral plane.

Upon entering the astral plane, the raging aether in the sea of ​​aether instantly began to erode the dimensional nematodes' bodies.

Dimensional nematodes possess resistance to the four elements and dimensional power, but ether is not composed of the four elements, nor is it dimensional power.

The resistance of the dimensional nematode is practically useless in the face of the ether.

At one end of the dimensional nematode king, Richard holds a rein made of gravity, constantly controlling the dimensional nematode's direction of movement.

Dimensional nematodes are unaware of the rationality of normal intelligent beings, even those dimensional nematodes that have broken through the limits.

After being drawn to Richard, the beast chased him all the way from the buffer zone to the storm zone, and then from the storm zone out of the dimensional storm and into the endless void of dimensions.

And that is courting death.

Within a dimensional storm, the King of Dimensional Nematodes can devour the dimensional storm to recover and can use it to attack, but outside of a dimensional storm, things are different.

After being weakened, Richard put a bridle on this dimensional nematode king and rode it into the astral plane like a mount.

"Antioku, the coordinates you gave me are correct, right?"

Richard's voice rang out from within the cellular dimension, and Antioch, who was recuperating, immediately replied, "That's right, the coordinates I gave you are the coordinates of our mother world."

"That's going to be troublesome."

Richard surveyed the distant world, where countless Titan warships covered almost half of the world barrier as far as his eyes could see.

"The civilization devourers have begun their attack on your mother world."

"what!"

Antioch's voice was filled with shock. He had only been gone for a little over a year, and although their defenses were somewhat weak, they should have been able to hold out for several years without any problems.

How could it have been breached so quickly?

"I don't know, so I suggest you come out and take a look."

Richard waved his hand casually, and the surrounding aether suddenly gathered, turning into nails that drove into the body of the dimensional nematode king.

This king of dimensional nematodes is a rare find, and Richard intends to keep it as a specimen.

The dimensional gate opened, and Antioch stepped out, his gaze immediately fixed on the world in the distance.

Although they were separated by several light-second intervals, Antiochus was still able to see it.

That is their mother world—the Eternal Darkness Great World.

"Your Excellency Miracle, that is our mother world."

"Well, it seems your defenses aren't as strong as you thought."

Richard's gaze swept across the fleet, searching for any weapons designed to target the Overlord.

Whether it's the technology possessed by the previous civilization alliance or the technology of the civilization devourers, many of them contain weapons designed to target the Overlord.

Among these, weapons targeting those who have broken through limits are not uncommon, and weapons targeting leaders are not unheard of either.

Even though Richard's current strength is already unmatched between those who have broken through limits, he still needs to be cautious when necessary.

Big waves can easily capsize a boat.

After confirming that there were no hidden weapons against the Overlord, Richard immediately smiled.

"In that case, I'll accept these fleets."
