The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 993 The War to End Everything (Part 9)

[Alarm! Alarm! Power transmission system damaged! Power transmission system damaged!]

Inside the floating fortress, piercing alarms blared incessantly.

Under the shrill screams of the civilization devourers, nearly all the floating fortresses suffered damage to their power supply systems. Some of the first floating fortresses to bear the shrill screams had even begun to fall, and the escaping fleets flew out of the fortresses like small boats, resembling a school of fish fleeing sharks.
"Activate the emergency recovery system."

The commander of the floating fortress issued the order, his voice sounding very calm and steady.

The next moment, activated by energy, something deep within the floating fortress began to awaken.

blah blah blah...

A series of soft tapping sounds emanated from the walls and floor, followed by a mass of liquid metal-like substance that gushed out from the walls.

"Wuxiang No. 32 has begun maintenance and will be completed in 30 minutes. The power transmission efficiency is expected to decrease by about 7% to 13% after the maintenance. Please be prepared."

The fortress commander heard Wuxiang's voice, and then the piercing alarm disappeared without a trace.

Yes, the emergency recovery system for the floating fortress is the Formless.

The Eye Demon's microparticle technology is extremely useful for Eldridge and the Impermanence, two micro-sized Gestalt beings.

Through the Eye Demon's modifications, the potential of the two Gestalt creatures was greatly enhanced.

The two Gestalt beings are even comparable to Overlords.

Of course, this is only in terms of quantity.

How Gestalt beings became the dominant species is something even the Beholders haven't fully understood. To date, all Gestalt beings have remained at the level of sixth-tier beings, unable to create dimensions.

Perhaps this is the limitation of Gestalt organisms.

Under the development of the Eye Demon, the Formless is no longer a war fortress, but has become an emergency repair device for every floating fortress and even a floating warship.

A war fortress offers limited help to the Wizarding Alliance, but emergency repairs can genuinely help the Wizarding Alliance minimize losses.

As for Aldridge...

"Commander received." The commander responded in a deep voice, and then issued new instructions.

"Activate emergency response measures."

"Yes."

Under the commander's orders, the outer layer of the floating fortress suddenly began to spew out black mist. This black mist seemed to be unrestrained by the laws of physics; as it left the floating fortress, it began to spread along with it, showing no sign of being blown away.

In a short while, the black mist enveloped the entire floating fortress. Under the cover of the black mist, all energy and elements from outside the floating fortress were blocked.

They can even absorb pure physical vibrations.

Aldrich, the Beast of Gods, the Devourer of All Things, has truly lived up to his name after being technologically modified by the Eye Demon.

After the transformation, Aldridge can even devour the power of rules and dimensions.

It is a true devourer of all things.

Even particles and phaseless beings, which are also Gestalt organisms, cannot do this.

Their attempts to improve this area all failed.

Furthermore, research on the Eye Demon is progressing, and if more samples can be collected, Aldrich might even become a true Gestalt overlord.

With the activation of the emergency defense system, the floating fortress has activated all its defensive measures.

If we still can't escape, then there's nothing anyone can do.

The commander touched the Miracles School insignia on the chest of his wizard's robe and suddenly activated the broadcast system for the entire floating fortress.

"Gentlemen, we have done all we can. All that is left is to pray. We pray that our Governor will bring us a glimmer of hope and a miracle."

……

"It would be troublesome if it shrunk into a ball."

The voice of the Coeling Throne rang in Richard's ears. Although the avatars of the Civilization Devourer had returned to their main body, the many Overlords had not gathered together and remained in a scattered state.

“No trouble at all, it’s energy manipulation,” Richard replied softly. “It’ll make things even easier for us if He contracts.”

Richard wasted a lot of his power in the battle against the clone.

Because the power that the clone can withstand is limited, being reduced to basic elements is already the final result.

There is nothing smaller than the fundamental elements—except space.

As he spoke, Richard clenched his right fist and swung it sharply at the civilization devourer.

The next moment, the turbulent void tore a huge rift in the body of the civilization devourer, a rift large enough to contain a small world.

However, Richard felt no joy whatsoever.

"After retreating, the defensive capabilities have also improved."

Seemingly because of its larger body to distribute its power, the civilization devourer is now much more durable than before.

Richard estimated that this punch would cause the civilization devourer to lose the volume of at least two small worlds, but in reality, the damage he caused was at most the size of one micro-world.

As for the shocking wound, it was only impressive to look at.

With just a little effort, the civilization devourer could make this wound disappear without a trace.

The face of the civilization devourer looked at Richard with a mocking expression.

"What, are you surprised? This punch didn't annihilate the volume of two small worlds." Although the Civilization Devourer looks like a normal creature due to its human corruption, its computing power has not decreased.

What Richard could calculate, He could calculate as well.

"After absorbing the curse, your mouth really does gossip."

Richard's voice was calm, and a new hammer suddenly appeared in his left hand. Immediately afterward, dimensional power began to surge wildly into the new hammer.

"The Hammer of Creation? I can't believe you took that bastard's most precious artifact. And that damn furnace too... Fine, fine, you've inherited their coffin lids, haven't you?"

The Devourer of Civilization recognized the origin of the new hammer and knew the power of the Hammer of Creation.

But He showed no sign of panic whatsoever.

Because everything is going according to His plan.

"Come on, come on, the more you use, the bigger this war will be."

Although the previous Civilization Alliance had discovered the abilities of the Civilization Devourers, they were unclear about the details of these abilities.

They were unaware of the criteria for judging the scale of a war; otherwise, they would never have allowed those mercenary overlords to participate in the war.

Domination and civilization are two inseparable parts.

In the astral plane, any Overmind can represent an extension of its civilization. Now, with nineteen mercenary Overminds participating in this war simultaneously, it means that nineteen civilizations are involved in this conflict at the same time.

Even though these rulers are merely individuals, conceptually, the scale of this war is even close to the final battle launched by the previous civilization alliance.

If Richard can reach level eight and a half, the scale of this war will surpass the last battle of the previous civilization alliance.

In addition, the treasures of civilization are also an extension of civilization.

Richard's use of the Forge of Miracles signifies that the Forge People have joined the war; his use of the Hammer of Creation signifies that the Titans of the Stars have joined the war; and his use of the Computation Chip signifies that the Supreme Beings have joined the war.

Although these three civilizations have almost disappeared, as long as dimensions have not disappeared, a civilization is still a civilization.

Including the civilizations within the Wizarding Alliance, the scale of this war has reached an unbelievable level.

His conditions for promotion have now been met.

This is also why He withdrew all His clones.

He needs the right moment to enter the ascension ceremony. Once He can begin the ascension ceremony, Richard and all those leaders and rulers will be nothing but dust.

As it was thinking, the eyes of the civilization devourer suddenly fell on a figure that it was very familiar with.

"Hehehe, my good student, what are you doing in the sky? Come and play inside your teacher's belly!"

As they spoke, a jet-black tongue suddenly shot out from the mouth of the civilization devourer, arriving in front of the second-generation Cursed Crown at an almost instantaneous speed.

Richard tried to stop him, but the next moment, a terrible gravitational pull descended upon him.

The gravity was something Richard could easily break free from, but he was still inevitably a moment slower.

boom!
The body of the second-generation Cursed Crown suddenly exploded, transforming into countless mysterious forces.

Immediately afterwards, a straw man fell from the void and transformed into a new second-generation Cursed Crown.

"That was close, we almost died."

The Second Generation Cursed Crown's voice trembled; that attack had completely exceeded his comprehension.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a fast tongue.

"Gentlemen, attack quickly, don't give this guy any spare energy."

Richard's voice rang in the ears of the many rulers. He had already discerned that among the rulers present, only the leader and those who had broken through limits could withstand the sudden attack of the civilization devourer. The other level seven and eight rulers would be easily defeated by the current civilization devourer.

"World Fortress, activate all Overlord weapons."

Richard's orders also reached many world fortresses. Conventional weapons were now useless; only the Overlord weapons could barely harm the civilization devourers.

The next moment, a loud hum of energy emanated from inside the World Fortress.

Countless logistics personnel roamed inside the fortress, inspecting the performance of various weapons and their accessories.

"The Ethereum storage facility has been activated."

"The etheric gathering chamber has been activated."

"The ether reaction chamber is in good condition."

"Ready to launch... Three, two, one, launch!"

The next instant, all one hundred world fortresses opened fire simultaneously.

One hundred etheric decomposition cannons simultaneously struck the civilization devourer, instantly evaporating a portion of a medium-sized world.

At the same time, many rulers began to employ their methods.

The Eternal God-King reigned high in the heavens, with countless stars falling around him like a meteor shower, crashing into the civilization devourer.

On the other side, the Great World Tree's limbs twisted and eventually transformed into a colossal Titan clad in World Armor.

The ever-renewing aura of the World Tree was gradually disappearing from him, replaced by a deathly aura comparable to that of the underworld.

This deathly energy gathered in the hands of the Great World Tree and eventually transformed into a spear.

He shouted, "Monster, prepare for your end!"
