The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 986 The War to End Everything (Part Two)

Attacks beyond visual range were not uncommon in Richard's previous life, but in this life, they are extremely rare.

Especially in aerial combat.

The conditions of the Aether Sea dictate that fleets can only engage in near-melee combat in the Astral Plane. Boarding and ramming are the most common tactics in Astral battles.

Therefore, each of the astral warships is tough and resilient, and with just a little bit of weaponry, they can go toe-to-toe with the world's ruler—of course, this is without any equipment.

However, in the near-vacuum of endless dimensions, the conditions for launching beyond-visual-range attacks naturally become available.

For both sides, energy is the least important thing. Whether it's a world fortress or a civilization devourer, energy is virtually inexhaustible.

Therefore, even without knowing their location, the civilization devourers unleashed their light spears without restraint.

These light spears are quite powerful. If it were a normal world fortress, without any defenses, these light spears could directly pierce through the world wall and cause devastating damage to the equipment inside.

Unfortunately, the Wizard Alliance's World Fortress is even more powerful than the previous Civilization Alliance.

Boom boom boom...

These light spears shattered upon touching the world barrier, bursting into fireworks in the void.

The World Will Technology of the Cursed Demon is very useful; it only requires the sacrifice of a sufficient number of creatures to be used.

This technology doesn't even require a specific level of life form; any intelligent life form will do.

This condition is a problem for the cursed demon, but for the Wizarding Alliance, it's far too easy.

Both the wizards and the Abyss possess extremely rich accumulations of flesh and blood technology. Through the cultivation of life matter, the wizards' incubation chambers and the Abyss's mongrel lairs are operating at full capacity.

Billions of fast-growing sacrifices are thrown onto the altar every day.

In order to build the World Fortress, the Cursed Demon Empire mobilized more than ten million people as a sacrificial group to perform sacrifices day and night.

This technology, combined with the World Tree's split structure, more than doubled the World Tree's control over the entire world. Even the Great World Tree's ability to so quickly connect and unify hundreds of worlds was due to this technology.

In this state, the World Fortress's defenses more than doubled.

"Should we retaliate?" the Alchemist Crown suddenly asked.

“There’s no need.” Richard shook his head slightly. “He is too vast; our attack would be pointless.”

Seemingly sensing the disappearance of the light spears, a new wave of light spears followed immediately after the first wave, and this wave was even denser than the previous one.

Unfortunately, the quality was insufficient; sheer quantity was of no use to the fleet.

The fleet adopted a spearhead formation, exchanging positions during the pauses in the light spears' movements. After several rounds, the fleet suffered no damage whatsoever; instead, the Energy Crown and Rakkal analyzed the energy model of the light spears.

"This technology doesn't belong to us." The Great World Tree glanced at the model and said bluntly, "Even the Supreme Beings have never heard of them having such a weapon."

Richard stroked his chin: "Then it seems that the technology of past civilizations has already begun to be used on a large scale."

"It doesn't matter if they apply it or not." The Great World Tree's voice carried a hint of sarcasm. "They're not as good as us. At most, their technology can come up with some new tricks, which are enough to get by."

As the only civilization alliance that defeated and sealed the civilization devourer, the previous generation of civilization alliances was undoubtedly the strongest among the civilizations nurtured by this world cluster.

Civilizations before them may have had equally advanced technology, but at most they were on par with them, and could never have surpassed them.

“That’s not entirely true,” Richard shook his head slightly. “Perhaps some of these technologies are specifically designed to target us. Have the fleet tighten its defenses; don’t let your guard down just because we haven’t breached them yet.”

"Row."

The rain of light spears continued unabated, becoming increasingly dense and frequent.

This undoubtedly signifies that they are getting closer and closer to that monster.

Inside the fortress, Gawain and Asu sat in the airship. Asu sat cross-legged on the ground, practicing his berserker martial arts, while Gawain checked his power armor over and over again, making sure there wasn't a single problem.

"Asu, give me your weapon."

"Boss, this is your thirty-second check."

Asu opened her eyes and looked at Gawain with a hint of worry in her gaze.

"Boss, you're too nervous."

After a moment of silence, Gawain said softly, "This is the final battle. After this battle, the war will be over."

What do you want to do after the war ends?
"Boss, saying this before the war is a bit too unlucky."

As he spoke, Asu spat twice, as if trying to expel the bad luck.

But Gawain said softly, "Let's dream about it, Asu. We might not have another chance in the future."

For these low-ranking soldiers, this war was a pure meat grinder. Although he was a hero with the Medal of Miracles, the title of hero couldn't just let him withstand an extra attack.

“…I will probably take over the family’s sect.” Asu pondered for a moment and said somewhat uncertainly, “Although my senior brother also wants to take over the sect, he can’t beat me.”

"Take over the sect? Become a grandmaster?" Gao Wen asked.

"That should be it. I've always wanted to become a Grandmaster." Asu suddenly became quite enthusiastic when talking about his future plans. "I've already thought it all out. After I become a Grandmaster, I'll meditate under a peach tree all day, and then use my life energy to make the peach blossoms bloom in all four seasons. People will know I'm a Grandmaster as soon as they see me." "Boss, what do you want to do after the war?"

“Me? I’ll probably go to the wizarding academy as a teacher.” Gawain paused for a moment before saying, “Donna has been transferred from the factory area to the Mother World to be the dean, so I shouldn’t have any problem getting a teaching position under her.”

"What? You want to work under her and get a teaching position?" Asu almost choked on Gawain's words. "Boss, you're a wizard hero. Most great wizards would bow to you."

When you go back, you should at least get a position as a dean.

“I’m not cut out to be a dean,” Gao Wen shook his head. “I’m perfectly fine as a teacher. I think I have a lot of skills, which should be enough for me.”

"Boss, you really have no ambition," Asu sighed.

"You know my background. Back then, we were almost fighting to the death with Star River Mayfly. Someone like me went to the battlefield in my teens. Tomorrow is too far away for me."

Asu remained silent. Although the number of Families exceeded that of Wizards during the Civilization War, the Families possessed superior bloodline talents. Before the emergence of Demi-human Wizards, Families had already begun to take root and flourish in various habitable worlds.

In contrast to Gawain, Asu even had a wonderful childhood.

"Alright, boss, I've almost forgotten what happened back then." Asu took off his helmet and scratched his head. "Speaking of teaching positions, once there's no more war, the things taught in the academy will probably change."

I think our health-preserving exercises are pretty good. I'll talk to Donna about it; maybe we can open a martial arts department someday and attract some students.”

"Huh?" Gao Wen was amused by Asu's idea. "You haven't even become the sect leader yet, and you're already thinking about expanding the sect?"

"Wise people always think ahead..."

Boom!

"Attention all legions! Attention all legions!"

The cold female voice from the command center, coming through the communication system, instantly brought the two back to reality.

The two quickly put on their helmets, and then they heard orders from headquarters.

"We are approaching the civilization devourers! All legions, prepare for battle! All legions, prepare for battle!"

Endless dimensions.

As he surveyed the steel world already visible to the naked eye in the distance, his gaze gradually turned cold. His soul form had transformed into its most rational state at this moment.

"Let me start with a small gift."

Richard took the Book of All Laws out of his pocket and poured violent dimensional power into it, instantly transforming it into a huge alchemical device.

World Destruction Cannon, activate!

boom!
A torrent of pure white energy instantly traversed a distance several kilometers, striking the civilization devourer directly. In an instant, the earth shattered, space annihilated, and an area exceeding the size of a small world vanished without a trace under this single blast.

“There is suppression within the world,” the Energizing Crown said. “This alchemical technique is more than enough to destroy a medium-sized world.”

"After all, it is His true form, so it is normal to be somewhat suppressed."

Richard's face remained expressionless. After glancing at the damage, he turned his gaze directly to the several dark creatures above the Civilization Devourer.

Among these creatures, Richard spotted something that was just as good as him.

"They actually stole the face of the curse?" Ricci looked at the black-robed figure, his heart unmoved.

The world of mystical power is cruel; struggles at this level can even lead to the disappearance of concepts.

The current Civilization Devourer is using the form of the Cursed Crown, presumably because it has taken over the appearance of the Cursed Crown. Of course, there could also be other reasons for this.

But none of this had much to do with Richard.

All he needs to do is crush the civilization devourers.

A torrential downpour of attacks erupted from the surface of the civilization devourer, and countless turrets and fortresses awakened at that moment.

"Notify the fleet to prepare for landing," Richard said calmly.

His gaze fell upon his equally matched opponent, and he said calmly, "I'll go and meet Him."

As he spoke, Richard's body seemed to teleport, appearing directly in front of the civilization devourer's clone.

Without testing him, Richard threw a punch with all his might.

In an instant, trillions of cells within His body moved simultaneously, and the violent power was transmitted through dimensional force, ultimately being released from His fist.

hum!
The void was stirred up by this punch, creating towering waves. The mere force of the punch shattered the bodies of several Limit Break level clones nearby.

The distorted space obscured all means of perception, making it impossible to directly observe even civilization devourers that were right next to us.

"Very good, you have met the requirements."

A moment later, the distorted space suddenly calmed down. In the center of that space, the shattered body of the civilization devourer was rebuilding itself. As it finished rebuilding, it suddenly spoke a sentence in the wizarding language.

"Killing you will surely allow me to return to the past."
