The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 994 The War to End Everything (Part 10)

The Great World Tree is a relic of the previous era. Unlike the other Titan Overminds who were rescued by Richard, he has truly lived from the post-war period to the present.

Before meeting Richard, he considered himself a lucky guy.

He was a survivor who was lucky enough to make it to the end.

It wasn't until he met Richard that he realized how much he had missed.

As the World Tree created by the Titans, he should have roamed the battlefield until he died or won.

This is the message Titan wove into his blood, and it is his creed for life.

Many people would think that a manufactured product, a creature controlled by humans from birth, could not possibly take the mission imposed on it by its creator as its creed.

But they overlooked one point: these lives were created by the creator, and everything they have is a product of the creator's wealth.

For those who are created, the mission woven into their blood is something they are born with.

They may refuse this mission, but that does not mean that those who accept it are inferior.

Choosing to accept is also a choice.

Now, the Great World Tree must fulfill its mission, even if it means sacrificing its own life and the entire Tree Spirit civilization.

hum!
The spear trembled.

The spear formed from the tangled death energy was not black as one might imagine. On the contrary, when the death energy reached a certain level, it turned into a vibrant red.

The branches of the Great World Tree seeped into the spear, providing a vessel for it and perfecting the work.

The death energy and dimensional power intertwined, mixed with the power of the world's origin, and ultimately a rudimentary world was born within the spear.

Ripples spread through the void the instant this world took shape.

That's a sign that something has been attracted.

The Great World Tree said nothing. The instant the world took shape, the spear flew from its hand. The crimson spear, like a blood-red meteor, hurtled straight towards the civilization devourer.

Under this spear thrust, the civilization devourer's body began to crumble. Those who had been devoured by it seemed to be stirred by the spear, now swimming within the civilization devourer's body like a school of fish.

hum!
The spear pierced the body of the civilization devourer, instantly causing the continent-sized body to die, along with the rules within it.

"Oh? It actually stirred up the underworld."

An eyeball suddenly appeared on the body of the civilization devourer. It looked at the Great World Tree with a slight surprise in its eyes.

He could see that the Great World Tree's attack was not a death rule, but rather triggered an illusory rule called the Underworld.

In the astral plane, almost every race has its own legends about the underworld. These legends may differ in content, but they all convey the same meaning.

Under the influence of this idea, a dimension called the Underworld was born in the endless dimensions.

This dimension encompasses the death realms of almost all races in the astral plane; it is truly boundless. Naturally, the underworld rules that constitute it are also incredibly powerful.

The Crown of the Dead once conducted extremely in-depth research on this dimension, and finally came to an incredible conclusion.

The rules of the underworld have transcended conventional illusory rules, reaching a different level altogether.

It was this discovery that led the Crown of the Dead to abandon its research on the underworld—the gap in levels could not be bridged by talent alone.

However, the Great World Tree actually triggered the rules of the Underworld.

This seems to indicate that there was a problem with the initial research on the Corona of the Dead.

Under the influence of the rules of the underworld, those who had been completely devoured by the civilization devourers began to revive. This was a conceptual revival; even though their souls had been digested and their bodies annihilated, they could still crawl out from the flesh and blood of the civilization devourers.

These dead were of incredibly diverse races, and their strengths varied greatly.

But the moment they revived, they all did one thing without prior agreement—take revenge.

The tide of the dead spread within the bodies of the civilization devourers, like a festering sore that constantly eroded their lives.

"It's such a nostalgic taste."

As the civilization devourer sensed the ever-expanding domain of the dead, a look of ecstasy suddenly appeared on its face. Immediately afterward, its massive body stirred up a wave.

These waves are waves of mouths; on those dark waves, countless mouths of various shapes are constantly opening and closing.

All those who died in this wave vanished without a trace.

"Although it lacks a bit of the wrong seasoning, it still tastes pretty good on its own."

Seeing this, the Great World Tree's deathly aura intensified once more. The Civilization Devourer didn't stop it, instead turning its attention to harassing the other Overlords.

boom!
The colossal body of the civilization devourer began to move, and the waves of the void made the world fortress look like a small boat on the waves.

The fitting mouthparts opened on his body, revealing countless tentacles and sharp teeth, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.

“Stop, 145.” Richard’s voice rang in the Great World Tree’s ear, halting his next move.

"Don't forget, your clone is still inside the World Fortress."

The World Trees in the World Fortress are all avatars of the Great World Tree. Although these avatars can survive independently of the Great World Tree, the death of the main body will still lead to the reorganization of the World Tree's avatars' will.

These World Trees have all incorporated the will of the world, and this reorganization could very well cause major problems for the World Fortress.

"Yes, sir."

The Great World Tree ceased its attack, and the deathly aura emanating from its body rapidly transformed into life. Obeying the Titan Commander's orders remained one of its core principles.

Beside him, Samael grew larger and charged directly in front of the civilization devourer, throwing a powerful punch.

In an instant, countless dimensional gates suddenly appeared in the void. Within these dimensional gates, the dense abyssal power even attempted to erode the void itself.

boom!
The ferocious, transdimensional strike, carrying Samael's fist, was like a coffin nail, deeply embedded in the body of the civilization devourer.

An area exceeding the size of a medium-sized world was annihilated by this single punch.

On the other side, Lakat was surrounded by stars, which had now transformed into floating cannons that began to bombard the civilization devourer.

Beside him, thorns swayed on the body of the Cursed Demon Emperor Ye Feng. These thorns reached into the void, and then, one after another, dimensional rulers emerged from the void.

The Cursed Demon's abilities are largely ineffective against the Civilization Devourer, so there are limited things it can do—for example, using some young dimensional overlords as self-destruct bombs.

At the same moment, the other rulers also reached out, the Sculpting Crown transformed into a colossal world giant, a virtual World Tree became its staff, and endless tidal waves of energy surged forth, heading straight for the Civilization Devourer.

The Alchemy Crown transformed into a massive war fortress, and after experiencing setbacks, it improved the World Annihilation Cannon.

The world's annihilation artillery is now more powerful than before.

Rumble!
In an instant, countless "fireworks" burst forth from the body of the civilization devourer.

However, the Civilization Devourer seemed completely oblivious to these attacks. It resembled a corrupted Pac-Man, charging straight towards the World Fortress.

Ninety-nine thick tentacles grew from his body, along with his tongue; each of these tentacles corresponded to a world fortress.

"Let's start with something small to whet our appetites."

The shriek of the civilization devourer, carrying its unique soul pollution, swept across the entire battlefield in an instant.

Those rulers who had not yet broken through their limits were all briefly thrown into a daze by this shrill cry. Even those rulers who had broken through their limits experienced a moment of disorientation.

In order to ensure that several leaders were not affected in the slightest.

"No, protect the World Fortress!"

Richard heard the Titan King's warning, but before he could react, a tentacle suddenly lashed out, grabbing a world fortress and swallowing it whole.

A flicker of astonishment crossed Richard's eyes: "Has this guy gone mad? The World Fortress isn't so easy to digest. If he keeps going like this, we'll kill him before he can digest the fortress."

But the Titan King's answer made his heart sink slightly.

"These are sacrificial offerings, and sacrificial offerings do not need to be digested."

Richard flashed forward, bringing with him a surging wave of void energy, and arrived in front of a tentacle.

The next moment, the World Hammer, enveloped in the flames of miracles, smashed the entire tentacle in half. The raging flames of miracles spread along the tentacle, but this time, even with the temporal-disrupting black liquid, the flames of miracles still burned fiercely.

After breaking through dimensional authority, the guardians of the civilization devourer could no longer stop him.

The manipulation of probability acted upon the tentacles of the civilization devourer, and even the time-disrupting materials could not stop the spread of the Miracle Fire.

"You should first hide in my cellular dimension."

Richard flashed into the interior of the World Fortress. He then absorbed everyone inside into his cellular dimension.

As for why not just take over the World Fortress directly... the World Fortress still needs to be fought, and his cellular dimension can't contain this huge fortress.

boom!
Under the control of the World Tree, the World Fortress unleashed its full power, with the Ether Disintegration Cannon, Dimensional Collapse Cannon, Dimensional Annihilation Bomb, Abyss Black Hole... all kinds of weapons against the Overlord were activated at this moment.

The entire world's fortresses began to boil.

The World Tree can control all weapons, but it cannot repair them all. Now that the World Fortress has been discarded, it has no more scruples.

"You noticed? Looks like those guys left you quite a lot."

The screams of the civilization devourers echoed in the void, and within a radius of several light-years, all non-dominant creatures without the protection of a world fortress were transformed into monsters by these screams.

"But did they tell you that ritual offerings don't need to be from a distance!"

The next moment, Richard suddenly heard Ellie's voice in his ear.

"Richard, the army of civilization devourers has appeared in our heartland, and the spirits of mayflies cannot stop the spread of contamination!"
