The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 985 The War to End Everything (Part 1)

The news of the final battle spread throughout the Wizarding Alliance in less than an hour.

Everyone knew the alliance was about to start a war, but no one had ever imagined it would begin so quickly.

"I have to go, Donna."

In front of the airship, Richard and Donna embraced. Afterward, he looked at Donna's side. Standing next to Donna was a girl who looked eight parts like Donna—this was the daughter Donna had tied up with Gawain.

"Moska, I'm leaving."

Although they had known each other for many years, Gawain always felt a little awkward around Moska.

He felt he wasn't much older than the child.

"Dad, keep going!"

Moska and Gawain hugged. Compared to Gawain's awkwardness, Moska was full of enthusiasm and admiration for him.

As the recipient of the Medal of Miracles, he is a hero of the entire wizarding civilization and a role model that Moska is proud of.

After saying goodbye, Gao Wen didn't say much, and called to Asu beside him before boarding the airship.

The warship emitted a soft energy hum before soaring into the sky.

In the sky, warships blotted out the sun.

"Mom, we should go back now."

Mosca murmured as he watched the airship gradually disappear into the sky.

"Ah."

Donna looked away, her worry instantly turning into determination.

War is not just about the front lines; logistics are also a crucial element. While Gawain is fighting on the front lines, she must not let her guard down in the rear.

……

Headquarters of the School of Miracles.

“Ellie, you stay behind.” Richard’s voice was unusually firm. “There’s no room for discussion.”

Every school of thought has its own successor. You are the successor of the Constitutional School; this is the decision of your teacher, the Constitutional Crown!

“Richard! There are better successors to the Constitutional Theory…”

“There is no better choice!” Richard interrupted sharply. “I know you think I discussed something with the Constitution, but let me tell you, I didn’t. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have put Wuni on the throne as well.”

Your constitution has chosen you!

As the wizarding governor, Richard wielded immense power; he could simply ask anyone to leave his students or his lover behind.

However, he did not do so.

This is the final battle; they must fight with all their might. And as the wizarding governor, he must set an example.

"...Can't I even fight alongside you?" Ellie's voice was almost a sob.

“I respect the body’s choice.” Richard’s voice suddenly softened. “The rear may not be worse than the front. We cannot rule out the possibility of civilization devourers attacking the rear.”

At that time, someone within the civilization must step forward.

Ellie didn't answer; she simply held Richard tightly, chaining him to the spot. Richard could hear her sobbing. Everyone within the civilization knew that some soldiers who participated in this war, even the Overlords, would not return.

Ellie knew Richard's fate too. And now, Richard was sprinting toward the end of that thread of destiny.

A moment later, Ellie released her arm.

"Richard, did you save your vital signs?"

“I did it… I advise against it; it will only strengthen the bond between our destinies. My war with that monster…”

Richard suddenly stopped talking, because there was no sign of backing down in Ellie's eyes.

“…Fine, whatever.” Richard sighed and ruffled Ellie’s hair. “It’s in my drawer.”

Ellie nodded slightly and said softly, "A triumphant return."

Richard turned around, and a runic gate slowly appeared before him.

"I have... well, I have returned in triumph."

……

In the endless void, one hundred world fortresses have been assembled.

Due to military reforms, world fortresses are not divided according to civilization. After all, legion members are mixed, and dividing them according to civilization would definitely cause problems.

The Overlords stood around the World Fortress, which was supposed to protect soldiers, but in the face of the Overlords, it was still somewhat weak.

This is true even if they are equipped with weapons that counter the Overlord.

"I really envy you." The Energizing Crown looked at Richard as he returned and said with a light laugh, "I can hardly... remember what she looks like."

Richard shook his head, his eyes suddenly turning icy cold.

"Emotions are a destabilizing factor in war because they can interfere with your judgment."

“But that’s just how people are.” The Alchemist Crown appeared beside them at some point. “There are some things that are harmful, but we just can’t give them up.”

Richard looked at the two crowns and suddenly said, "...If I am still alive after the war, I will only serve as consul for ten thousand years."

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the two crowned figures.

"You want to rotate?"

"Correct."

"Why?" the two rulers asked almost simultaneously. But soon, they both laughed. "The rotation system is indeed excellent," the Alchemist Crown said. "Mysteries are far more alluring than power."

Soon, the rulers arrived.

Ten Overlords from the Wizarding Civilization participated in the war—aside from the newly promoted Wuni, the Hearthman Overlord purified by Richard also joined the Wizarding Alliance after undergoing personality editing. However, his name was not leaked; only the Alliance's upper echelons knew of him.

The civilization of gods had four gods—after a long war, the civilization of gods finally gave birth to a new god-king—the God-King of War.

Nine from the Eye Demon Civilization, four from the Abyss Civilization, four from the Natural Federation, six from the Lich Empire, and two from the Spirit Desert Civilization.

Including the nineteen Overlords hired by Richard, the Wizarding Alliance now has fifty-eight Overlords.

This number may seem small, considering that previous civilization alliances had nearly this many rulers even during the Fire Seed Project era. However, among these rulers are six leader rulers and more than a dozen limit-breaking rulers.

While this number is not as high as the peak of the previous civilization alliance, they are not facing a peak civilization devourer either.

Not to mention, Richard also had a deadly weapon hidden on him.

"Richard, don't worry about me," the Titan King's voice echoed in Richard's mind. "I will act at the most opportune moment."

Richard composed himself and glanced at the massive fleet beside him.

"Everyone's here, let's go."

Under Richard's orders, news of the departure quickly spread throughout the fleet.

A massive fleet comprised of one hundred world fortresses began to "slowly" advance toward the civilization devourers.

This battle will end everything.

……

Galaxy World.

After being altered in various ways by the civilization devourers, the Star River Great World has lost its original appearance.

The piecing together of thousands of worlds expanded the original vast galaxy world by nearly ten times. This figure far exceeded the seven-fold estimate made by the Alchemy Crown. Furthermore, to prevent the Miracle Flame from spreading uncontrollably, this enormous battlefield was devoid of any black liquid; instead, it was filled with endless turrets, fortresses, and soldiers.

On this seemingly endless plain, every inch of land harbors deadly dangers.

A black ocean, transformed from the devourers of civilization, surged and roared in the heart of the earth.

One by one, clones emerged from it, each carrying an aura of near-limit breaking.

At their center, a creature dressed in a wizard's robe exuded an aura of pressure powerful enough to make even a supreme being tremble.

Their gazes simultaneously turned to the sky, and then a massive dimensional rift appeared in the astral plane. If the surrounding worlds hadn't been wiped out by the civilization devourers, the etheric waves generated by this rift alone would have been enough to tear small worlds apart.

Even the civilization devourers themselves have encountered some problems with their perimeter defenses.

The raging ether was like an invisible maw, instantly disintegrating an area comparable to a small world into nothingness.

However, the civilization devourers ignored these minor details.

He simply entered the endless dimensions little by little, paying no attention to the areas that were being broken down by the ether.

On his body, the Titans and the Hearthmen stood guard.

In their eyes, they were also engaged in a decisive battle, so each of them was full of fighting spirit.

hum!
With a violent dimensional tremor emanating from the dimensional rift, the civilization devourer successfully entered the endless dimension.

But at the same time, the shockwave also spread through the void and was sensed by the Wizarding Alliance a week later.

"He has entered the endless dimension." The Alchemist Crown said with a serious expression. "Although we have made preparations, our soldiers' combat strength will be greatly reduced when fighting in the endless void."

The endless void is a forbidden zone for ordinary creatures, but the Wizard Alliance is prepared for it. Fully enclosed power armor can prevent soldiers from dying due to energy differences.

“We can’t do it, and neither can they,” Richard said calmly. “Even though the soldiers He summons are just projections, they still need to follow the rules.”

The only slight drawback is that ether becomes much more difficult to obtain once you enter the endless dimensions.

The Ether Disintegration Cannon is one of the weapons deployed by the Wizard Alliance against Overlords. This weapon is like a concentrated fire attack, capable of shattering even Overlords that have broken through limits, or even Leader Overlords.

Once you leave the Astral Plane, obtaining Aether becomes somewhat troublesome.

"It's a matter of opening a few dimensional rifts," Alchemy Crown said calmly. "What I'm worried about now is whether we can find Him."

We cannot rule out the possibility that this bastard might launch a surprise attack on our rear.

"That depends on the curse."

Within the World Fleet, the Cursed Overlord, amidst a fragrant incense, searches for the trail of the Civilization Devourer.

As the only Overlord without any escort on the perimeter, his duty was to track his teacher's movements and then guide the fleet.

"The curse, how is it?"

"Everything is normal, Your Excellency. That thing is heading straight for us. It seems He really needs a great war as a ritual."

"That's good."

Li looked toward the Alchemist Crown, his voice carrying a hint of ease.

"Everything is normal..."

boom!
A loud bang suddenly exploded next to Richard.

Richard turned around and saw countless objects resembling light spears hurtling towards the fleet in the boundless void.

Both sides knew that the other was just ahead, but the civilization devourer was clearly more excited about the war, so it set off some "celebration" fireworks in advance.

Richard casually smashed the two light spears, his voice carrying a hint of seriousness.

"Notify the fleet to prepare for battle."
