Versatile Mage: Lord of Space

“Nazca will never stop. As long as you are alive, this attack by the strange bird will not be the last…” Osto said.

This time it's 100,000, next time it'll be a million.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically.

They certainly know what this means.

If the million monster birds come, even the Dragon Queen can't save them.

“Gentlemen, aren’t you also being entangled by the Grim Reaper of Nakas now? I think you need to deal with this as soon as possible,” Osto continued.

"What's your solution?" Mo Fan asked.

"In truth, we don't know the exact reason either. But you must travel to Nazca to uncover its mysteries," Osto's voice was deep and firm. "Fortunately, now is the perfect time to enter the forbidden Nazca Lines. Having just experienced the attack by the strange birds, you will have about a week to freely roam among the Nazca monsters, as long as you don't provoke them."

"What a joke! You want us to go back to that godforsaken place?" Zu Jiming exclaimed, his face turning deathly pale.

The nightmarish experience still seems like it was happening right before their eyes; they almost lost their lives there.

“No, no. Otherwise, the next disaster will only be more severe.” Osto’s gaze swept over everyone, his tone leaving no room for argument. “Believe me, this will never be the last attack.”

Nan Jue turned to Ai Jiangtu: "Old Ai, can you mobilize the troops stationed at the mines?"

“Okay,” Ai Jiangtu replied briefly.

“No, whatever you do, don’t seek military support,” Osto hurriedly interrupted. “Nazca is a forbidden land. If the army sets foot there, it will only enrage it and summon an even larger army of monsters, causing everyone to perish. As I said, you have more than a week. Only by going there in person can you possibly obtain Nazca’s forgiveness and end this endless misfortune.”

Mo Fan raised an eyebrow and turned his gaze to Lin Lan: "Looks like this trip is unavoidable?"

"I'm definitely going," Lin Lan nodded.

……

“In that case, a week should be enough for us to uncover the secrets of Nazca,” Nan Jue pondered.

Osto's expression was grave: "The Nazca Lines are attacking our cities and mines. I deeply regret General Mott's actions, and he has already been punished. But now, you are the most suitable candidates to enter the Nazca Lines." He bowed sincerely. "If you can resolve this crisis, I am willing to transfer the resources originally allocated to the Peruvian National Guard to you. If you can rescue the people trapped in the mines…"

"You've done this, and now you want our help?" Zhao Manyan interrupted angrily.

Jiang Shaoxu sighed softly, "Forget it. If Osto hadn't told us about the castle, we would have been dead long ago. General Mott is a scoundrel, but Osto is at least decent. Let's not generalize."

Jiang Yu asked, puzzled, "But the Arree mine was attacked by the monstrous apes. What does that have to do with our trip to Nazca?"

“You’ll understand when you get there,” Osto said with a relieved smile. “I’ll arrange a helicopter to take you to Nazca right away.”

Looking at this group of sensible young people, Osto secretly rejoiced. Unlike the reckless and arrogant Mott, he knew that to solve the problem, one must find the source, and the source was Nazca. This Chinese team, which had just survived an attack by 100,000 strange birds, was the best choice to go to the forbidden area.

In Nazca, its rules must be followed. Sending troops will only invite fiercer retaliation, and what it has in abundance there is an endless stream of monsters.

“Uncle,” Mo Fan suddenly narrowed his eyes, “you just said you would give us the resources of the National Guard, do you mean it?” “Of course. Not only that, General Mort and his staff will apologize to you publicly, the Royal Mage Corps will express their sincere gratitude, and Peru will always welcome you.” As the new head of the castle, Osto solemnly promised.

"It's a deal." Mo Fan grinned. He could resolve the strange bird crisis and reap the benefits at the same time—why not?
The helicopter quickly landed on the castle helipad. Just as everyone was about to board, Zujimin was the first to jump out and object.

“I’m not going! Whoever wants to go to that godforsaken place can go!” he shouted, stubbornly convinced that Austow was exaggerating.

Jiang Shaoxu sneered, "No one is forcing you. Just stay here."

It's normal for disagreements to arise. Mu Tingying and Guan Yu withdrew one after another, while Nan Rongni, still shaken, also chose to stay.

"Um...can I...?" Zhao Manyan raised his hand timidly.

Mo Fan grabbed his collar: "Believe it or not, I'll throw you to the sea monsters right now!"

Zhao Manyan climbed onto the helicopter with a long face.

Nan Jue confirmed one last time: "Those who stay behind, Osto has promised to protect your safety. But don't even think about the resources he promised us."

"Who cares!" Zu Jiming scoffed. "We were just nearly killed by them, and now you're eager to risk your lives? Go ahead and die if you want!"

"Take care." Nan Jue said no more.

Ultimately, those who believed in the impending crisis boarded the helicopter, while the skeptics remained in Lima. Mo Fan, however, felt this was for the best; with fewer of the troublemakers, the team was more united. In a life-or-death adventure, nothing is more important than working together.

“I have another important discovery,” Lin Lan said at this moment.

"What discovery?" Everyone's eyes turned to Lin Lan.

“During the process of the Dragon Queen exterminating the strange birds, I discovered… that these strange birds are not actually endless…” Lin Lan continued.

In other words, the reason these strange birds are endless is because they are infinitely transformed from a certain characteristic token. Once the characteristic token is killed, all the other phantom puppets will also disappear, which is why they have no soul.

However, Lin Lan did not want to kill her directly; he mainly wanted to test the strength of the Dragon Queen.

The result delighted Lin Lan; the mature Little Dragon Princess was definitely at the level of a Great Monarch.

When it reaches the complete stage, it will become an emperor!
Little Dragon Princess is currently digesting the energy of the Time Elixir and will not be involved in any battles for the time being.

"I see!" Mu Ningxue exclaimed in sudden realization. "The reproductive pattern of the Nazca Lines is hidden in their iridescent crests. Just like Sun Wukong's hair clones, you can create countless clones by plucking a single hair. These Nazca Lines are the same; the one with the iridescent crest is equivalent to Sun Wukong's true form, and the others are illusions created from it. Therefore..."

Mu Nujiao exclaimed joyfully, "That's right! As long as we find and destroy the main body of that strange bird with its iridescent crest, all its other clones will vanish into thin air. Lin Lan's discovery is absolutely crucial!"

"Then how do we find the original body?"

"There's always a way!" (End of Chapter)
