Chapter 959 The Battle to Protect the World of Eternal Darkness (Part 1)

Battles between rulers often take place in endless dimensions. In the void of endless dimensions, the greatest destruction a ruler can cause is void tremors.

The void of endless dimensions is the highest manifestation of the concept of space. It is like the space that Richard saw in his previous life, at most distorted.

This makes the Dominator's destructive power seem quite insignificant.

However, this does not mean that the destructive power of the Overlord is really insignificant.

……

Richard smiled the moment he realized there were no weapons specifically designed to counter the Overmind.

Immediately afterwards, the Sea of ​​Ether began to boil silently.

The Black Armor Civilization, with Richard's technology, made the Ether Sea one of the most suitable battlefields for him.

In this region, Richard can freely manipulate an almost unlimited amount of ether to accomplish whatever he desires.

The boiling of the Ether Sea went unnoticed by the fleet, as the boiling was so slight that it was almost indistinguishable from the disturbance they were causing.

But soon, the alarm sounded.

"Warning, warning, the activity level in the Ether Sea is abnormal."

"Warning, warning, the activity level in the Ether Sea is abnormal."

Amidst the alarms blaring from the ship's main control tower, the boiling of the Ether Sea began to intensify rapidly. This boiling ether was far more effective than any energy-penetrating weapon, attacking directly at the very foundation of energy.

This method of directly attacking the basic structure is something that no energy barrier can resist.

"Is this one of that monster's tricks? It seems he has a new scheme up his sleeve."

In the center of the fleet, in a fleet larger than any other sky island warship, the commander of the Titan Legion spoke calmly.

"Order to activate the ether protection, and run the power reactor at full capacity. For something as trivial as ether, they dare to use such methods..."

Before the Titan commander could finish speaking, a series of alarms rang in his ears.

The boiling of the Ether Sea had exceeded the fleet's defensive limits. The raging ether had shattered the entire fleet's energy barrier in the blink of an eye after he gave the order, and began to wear down the fleet's physical armor like insects.

"what's the situation!?"

The Titan commander cursed angrily, trying hard to figure out what was going on.

But before he could get any answers, a powerful will took over his body, and even the bodies of all the members of the entire fleet.

This war is extremely important to the Civilization Devourer. The Eternal Dark World is a large world, and if it can be devoured, then this world will directly become another of its entities.

Whether used as a bridgehead for attacking the Eye Demon civilization or as food to heal injuries, it is an excellent choice.

Therefore, this battle must not be lost.

After the civilization devourers took over, the entire fleet began to change. The metallic outer armor gradually turned black, eventually turning into clumps of black slime. Although the raging sea of ​​ether also had a corrosive effect on this black slime, the rate of corrosion was much slower than before.

"Has it been taken over?"

Li observed the changing fleet, his expression remaining unchanged.

This is exactly what he wants.

According to the research of previous civilization alliances, civilization devourers also possess souls, or rather, they possess something similar to a soul's location.

This kind of thing only exists in His avatars or in the legions He takes over.

Destroying the fleet would be easy for Richard, but fleets are not important to civilization devourers.

Although these fleets utilize numerous dimensional treasures, they are not something that can be automatically constructed by the black liquid at the whim of a civilization devourer.

However, this can only slow down the pace of the civilization devourers.

The treasures of the dimensions are inexhaustible; if He so desires, He can rebuild a team in a little time.

However, His soul was different.

The loss of this item will directly affect the injuries of the Civilization Devourer, which is one of the reasons why the Civilization Devourer does not need to create clones to launch sneak attacks.

After changing its shape, the fleet's losses were significantly reduced. However, this was merely a delaying tactic.

He must completely resolve the boiling of the Ether Sea, otherwise the Black Liquid Armor will also be completely eroded by the Ether.

hum!
An invisible dimensional force rippled outwards from the fleet, probing the world and the surrounding Aether Sea.

But this kind of non-targeted probing was meaningless to Richard.

He easily erased the existence of himself, Antioch, and even the King of the Dimensional Nematodes during the investigation.

Richard did not attack, but continued to slowly intensify the boiling of the Ether Sea.

This technology was not in the civilization devourers' technology reserves, so the civilization devourers were unable to discover what was causing the Aether Sea to boil in a short period of time.

During this period, the civilization devourers will certainly continue to increase their attention.

When he can no longer hide from the detection of the civilization devourers, that will be the time for him to make his final move.

This technique only allows for one chance to launch a surprise attack, so he must maximize its value.

Beside Richard, Antioch watched Richard's methods with nothing but admiration and shock in his huge eyes.

"As expected of the chosen one, this level of strength has probably surpassed that of an ordinary Breakthrough Ruler and is approaching that of a Leader-level Ruler."

Beside him, the struggle of the Dimensional Nematode King was steadily weakening. Aether was seeping into its body, and this fifth element was relentlessly eroding its life force. This might be one of the reasons why Dimensional Nematodes have never appeared in the astral plane.

In the boundless ocean of ether, the chance of finding a world is no less than encountering a deserted island in the ocean.

The search for civilization devourers is intensifying, and countermeasures are constantly emerging.

A high-strength, self-healing energy shield is the best way to deal with this corrosive attack; however, such a shield requires a huge amount of energy to maintain.

As a result, the massive fleet began to assemble, eventually transforming into dozens of objects resembling steel satellites.

This was somewhat beyond Richard's expectations.

"This is... technology from a previous civilization."

Richard's gaze shifted from doubt to certainty; he was certain that the technology behind these steel satellites was not from the previous civilization alliance.

"It seems that among the civilizations that were swallowed up, there were still quite a few powerful ones..."

hum!
Just as Richard was lamenting the decline of civilization, a discordant dimensional fluctuation suddenly emanated from his side.

Richard suddenly looked in the direction of the fluctuations and saw that the King of the Dimensional Nematodes seemed to have gathered all its strength and was struggling violently once again.

"You beast."

Richard cursed under his breath and immediately began the final roundup.

The fluctuations of the King of Dimensional Nematodes have already exposed him.

"Antioku, make your move, don't let a single one escape."

Richard's voice boomed like thunder. The instant he spoke, the ethereal sea surrounding the fleet instantly coalesced, enveloping all the steel satellites in a near-tangible form. Then, a spiderweb of dimensional power sealed these steel satellites.

At the moment the steel satellite was sealed, Richard sensed an extremely powerful will.

That will was even greater than the will of the world; in its presence, Richard felt like a tiny mouse.

A deep-seated fear surged from his heart in an instant.

"No wonder they require a test of willpower."

Looking at the boundless starry sky, Li's expression was slightly unpleasant.

After regaining some of its strength, the civilization devourer finally showed some of its former appearance.

Richard simply couldn't imagine what the previous civilization alliance had been thinking when they fought against such a terrifying thing.

Richard exhaled and with a casual wave of his hand, dozens of steel satellites were cleansed by the ether and then ignited by the Miracle Fire.

Antioch, on the other hand, entered the world to cleanse the civilization-devouring army within it.

With the help of the two overlords, the army of civilization devourers was powerless to resist and was wiped out in a short time.

Meanwhile, the Eye Demon Elders, who were battling the Civilization Devourers in the endless void, began to return one after another.

The reason is simple: the civilization devourer has discovered Richard's presence. This means there's a problem with its allocation of dominion, and if it doesn't evacuate in time, its losses will be even greater.

At the center of the Eternal Darkness Great World, a huge floating island hangs in the air. Even during times of war and the mutual destruction of weapons, this floating island has never fallen.

At the heart of the isolated island stands a massive vaulted palace, which has been the core of the Eye Demon race for hundreds of thousands of years.

Countless decisions have been made here, and each of these decisions has determined the direction of the Eye Demon clan's development.

And now, the Eye Demon clan is making their most important decision.

"Chosen One, have you established your civilization alliance?"

In the grand hall of the domed palace, an elderly Bewitching elder looked at Richard, his voice tinged with trepidation. Beneath his enormous eyes, squid-like tentacles writhed and twisted in the air.

This is precisely the manifestation of the eye demon's tension.

"The Civilization Alliance has been established, Elder," Richard replied solemnly. "Of all the world's communities, only the Eye Demons have not yet joined the Alliance."

"That would be great."

The elder's voice suddenly relaxed. Their war had been extremely difficult during this period, and their greatest hope came from the support of other civilizations.

Without a civilization alliance, the support from a single civilization would be woefully inadequate.

“However, Your Excellency should not be too happy yet,” Richard continued. “That enormous dimensional storm will exist in the endless dimensions for the foreseeable future.”

This dimensional storm will severely disrupt our communication.

Moreover, the civilization devourers have most likely already anchored themselves in your dimension. Your situation in the upcoming war remains far from optimistic.

Upon hearing Richard's words, the entire hall fell silent instantly.

A moment later, an old beholder flew to Richard's side.

"...Let's join the alliance first. Regardless of whether it has anchored our civilization's dimension, a contract must be signed."

If He doesn't anchor, then we'll be rich.

Li looked at the eye demon before him and bowed slightly.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, leader of the Eye Demons."
