Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 714 The Ultimate Bomb (4-in-1)

In the blink of an eye, a few days later.

In the underground fortress of Dune City.

Several wizards from other cities gathered to report to Roy.

"My lord, this is the only divine power crystal our master possessed. Now, by order of the Alliance, it has been temporarily placed in your hands."

In addition, the remaining 10-odd divine power crystals, along with starlight stones, are also gathering...

The High Priest Adkenasi will attempt to break through the blockade and send these things in.

"Is that so? That's fine too."

With these things, I can begin manufacturing them.

Roy held the glittering jewel in his hand, pondering to himself.

"Perhaps we don't need that many..."

After all, I've gained experience and can do better than before!

This is a product of spiritual power, which relies on the power of spirit and faith, or the materialization of spiritual power condensed from the will of a powerful individual.

Unlike the three divine power crystals given by the Great Wizard of Mareshar last time, he now has a total of eight crystals of varying sizes, containing power ranging from over a thousand degrees to seven or eight thousand degrees.

However, it is certain that the total number is over 30,000 to 50,000.

Moreover, my soul is of a high enough level, and I have had experience dealing with such situations in the past.

"This kind of thing is a level four item, and even the Alliance can't easily mobilize too many of them at once."

It seems the key is still for the High Priest of Adkenasi to deliver the goods; that would be of higher quality and contain more power...

However, with what I currently have, it's enough to make it..."

After having his allied troops, who had come from afar, entertained them, Roy went straight into the mage's mansion.

His orders to the outside world were that they should not attack the city unless the mages stormed it or the warships shot it down.

Do not disturb me with anything else.

He began to devote himself fully to this matter, busying himself with his own plans.

……

After another period of time, high in the distance.

The dagger-shaped Angel-class warship, the "Angelos," is keeping pace with the planet's rotation, maintaining its relative position.

It was always surrounded by a protective shield that resembled ripples on water, and when it trembled slightly, it seemed as if an invisible fire was burning on the outer layer.

Strange energy continuously eroded from the void, but it was all resisted.

That's the great wizards launching an attack from the astral void!

Reaching the fourth rank signifies a transcendent existence that is difficult for ordinary beings in the material world to attain.

At that time, the sublimation of the soul will allow the life form to transcend matter, directly detach from the physical body, and arrive in the astral void, in different dimensions, and be able to freely cross planes and traverse the sea of ​​stars.

But it wasn't the ascension or consciousness transfer that Roy had previously thought of.

It is a kind of sublimation, a transcendence.

It is a form of transcendence unique to this magical universe.

Various mental fluctuations and magical bombardments, which are difficult for ordinary people to perceive, erupt in various natural or supernatural phenomena.

This often results in macroscopic astronomical phenomena, such as cosmic rays or solar flares.

At this moment, the great wizards were nowhere to be seen, but their attacks continued.

However, the force field possessed by the Angel-class warships effectively prevented the archmages from getting close.

Although its spiritual energy is not as grand as the world's will at the planetary level, it excels in its strong initiative, which can effectively mobilize power and make various reactions.

The aftermath of the battle directly affected the surrounding planet, Ktapodi.

Suddenly, the magic of some great wizard or legendary sorcerer overflowed, transforming into a massive torrent of energy that struck the planet.

An invisible wave, originating from this torrent, suddenly spread outwards.

In the blink of an eye, a large number of meteorites fell like rain.

"Legendary Meteorite Technique!"
The Ketapodi observatory quickly detected this phenomenon.

Before the mages took control of the world, they observed similar phenomena and assumed they were natural meteorites from distant galaxies in outer space.

A large number of meteorites containing extremely high kinetic energy and intense heat passed through the atmosphere, but most of them were blocked by the planet's will. The materials they contained also generated heat through friction and burned to ashes.

However, some of them crashed to the ground with a loud thud.

In an instant, meteorites, each with a yield equivalent to tens of thousands of tons and a power comparable to a nuclear bomb, bombarded down!
The meteor shower lasted for several hours, sending down tens of thousands of rocks of varying sizes.

On the planet Ktapodi, vast forests were burned, and animals died.

Smoke and dust billowed, obscuring the continent for tens of thousands of kilometers.

The whole world was shrouded in an atmosphere of fear, as if the end of the world had come!
……

"I never imagined that the battle between the great wizards and the legendary mages would be so terrifying!"

"Yes, even just a partial energy leak, falling from the astral plane into the material world, can cause such a huge shock!"

"Their spiritual energy is around tens of thousands of degrees, but the power of their spells can reach hundreds of thousands to millions of degrees, and the energy they contain is astronomical!"
The growth here cannot be measured simply by tens or hundreds of times!

"The dimensional geography inside the Wizard Tower once described this kind of spell..."

A legendary mage captured an asteroid more than 10 kilometers in diameter and transformed it into a "legendary meteorite spell," which he then hurled at the ground...

With just one shot, it destroyed the ecosystem of that world, causing catastrophic damage!

However, that only applies to low-magic worlds with weak world wills. Someone like Ktapodi, whose level is above the peak of level three, wouldn't be reduced to such a state!

In the city of Duen.

Asternes and Legatus went to a tall building to observe.

As they watched another huge meteorite streak across the sky from afar, they couldn't help but start discussing it.

They all harbored a hint of unease, because this kind of spell was a legendary spell frequently used by mages in the Achinila region.

It is still unclear whether this is a genuine aftershock of the battle or a deliberate act of throwing something at the ground to inflict damage on their own positions.

Logically, the will of the world should instinctively protect the creatures within.

However, excessive kinetic energy and purely physical attacks can effectively penetrate this protective layer.

Fortunately, so far, the things we were worried about have not happened.

There were no reports of attacks on other positions either.

However, at that moment, Legatos saw a ball of light that seemed to be hovering in the air, but it was getting bigger and brighter.

"This mode of movement... is heading this way!"

His eyes widened suddenly.

"Enemy attack!"

With an urgent shout, the force of his fist suddenly coalesced.

As the Magic Burst Fist struck, the energy hit the falling meteorite, shattering it into pieces.

But the enormous kinetic energy still caused it to continue falling.

Several deafening explosions rang out in succession, causing an uproar in the city.

Not only that, but more meteorites continued to fall, bombarding the position one after another, and also hitting the Ktapodi buildings in the city of Dun.

******
On the legion's position, various spells were used to intercept the meteorite, but their effectiveness against the meteorite's high-speed penetration was limited, and they soon failed, forced to retreat to underground bunkers.

Roy also learned of this and reminded Legatos and the others: "Once the meteor shower stops, the mages will definitely take the opportunity to launch an attack, so be prepared."

"Yes, those mages love to play this trick."

Asternes and Legatus are having a bit of a headache.

"However, the Alliance just reported that it can be basically confirmed that this meteorite was simply caused by the overflow of magic from the astral plane during the battle between the legendary mage and the archmage, which affected the material plane."

It was just an accident that it crashed here.

"Accident?"

Roy seemed to be deep in thought.

As soon as the two left, the Red Consul Akhenin contacted him.

"Lord Adkanasi has used the meteor shower just now to break through the boundary and send the divine power crystal and starlight stone you requested to the material world."

Prepare the following ritual, then take it away!

He was then given a ritual magic spell array.

"They actually took advantage of the meteor shower just now?"

Roy was slightly surprised.

Akhenin explained, "That was indeed a spell cast by a legendary mage."

However, this was caused by a deviation in the landing point due to the intentional resistance of the great wizards.

Lord Adkanasi took the opportunity to stuff things into the Ktapodi; otherwise, given the Angel-class battleships' spatial blockade, it wouldn't have been easy for external supplies to be transported in.

"That's true."

Roy also knew that once a dimensional war broke out, interdimensional teleportation was often easily interrupted.

The operation of such a magic array can only be guaranteed if one has an overall advantage.

When wizards invade low- to mid-level magic worlds, they can naturally teleport these things at will.

But now, it's a battle against the mages.

Neither side will benefit; both will be banned.

Akkenin said, "The league has really given us enough support and trust this time. Now it's up to you to try your own way!"

Normally, battles like this, involving legendary powerhouses, could drag on for a long time if the numbers are roughly equal.

But if you can catch them off guard and launch a surprise attack...

It might actually be the key to ending things!
"At that time, we will provide you with shelter and transfer you to other planes and worlds to recuperate and avoid the storm!"

This is the result of negotiations between Roy and the Seven Towers Alliance.

After successfully damaging the Angel-class warship, Achinira will surely be shocked and will investigate.

Furthermore, this could very well be a crucial turning point in determining the ownership of the entire Ellen Starfield, as the interests involved are simply too great.

If the Seven Towers Alliance still values ​​talent, it will inevitably protect Roy.

……

Shortly after, in the underground bunker.

Roy set up a teleportation array and, using the connection of the astral void, began the ritual to acquire the items.

This is somewhat like a "divine gift" ritual where believers pray to the gods for blessings. Roy had previously created statues of the god of wishes and "vending machines," so he was quite familiar with the mechanisms involved.

Sure enough, during the process of setting up the witch array according to the information, Roy discovered many familiar basic runes and ritual symbols.

The symbol is equivalent to a key.

This one actually doesn't have any requirements.

The great wizard has locked onto this world, and at the same time, he has locked onto Roy's mind.

As he completed the ceremony on the platform, there was an immediate response, with something being thrown from the void to his location.

On the alchemy table in front of Roy, the star and moon rune array lit up with a dazzling silver light.

In a short while, twelve crystalline objects, each the size of a jujube and shaped like gemstones, appeared out of thin air.

That was a crystallized divine power, filled with energy; it was of extremely high quality and substantial in weight.

"Divine Power Crystal (Level 4)..."

The materialized product of spiritual power contains a standard weight equivalent to 9999 degrees of authority…

By this time, Roy had a deeper understanding of divine power and other such things, and he roughly knew that if it were detonated like a bomb, the magical power value could reach around 30 degrees.

The magical power of 300,000 degrees contains energy far exceeding three times that of 100,000 degrees, and certainly not 30 times that of 10,000 degrees; rather, it is close to the ratio of the speed of light squared in the mass-energy equivalence equation…

From this stage, we begin to move towards the cosmic scale.

Commonly known as: "Astronomical figures!"

In the magical universe, faster-than-light phenomena are commonplace, and the cosmological constant may even differ in different planes.

However, only the arcanists of Achinila would study these things; the wizards didn't care at all.

Witchcraft focuses on more fundamental things, so Roy only knew that there was such a constant that affected the conversion of energy, and he still used the ancient unit of "degree" in daily life.

Immediately afterwards, some Starshine Stones appeared, and Roy also collected these necessary items.

……

As Roy quietly obtained what he wanted, the mages' attack, unsurprisingly, began once again.

In late August, several archmages launched a fierce attack on the Dune City position.

Both sides employed very direct tactics, focusing on using the highest-level magic to fight the most primitive and hard-fought battles.

This is also because of the existence of spatial rings, summoning spells, and various other magical techniques, which renders many conventional tactics meaningless.

What about cutting off food supplies, encirclement, and surprise attacks...?

None of these are as important as directly killing the enemy's manpower!
In such a war, the formally ranked spellcasters and various high-ranking personnel are the true core.

Decapitation strikes are the number one tactic!

This is one of the few tactics that can be used in creative ways. Roy had used it against D'Angelo before, and now, unsurprisingly, he has been retaliated against.

The mage used an elite tactical squad to break through the defenses, a method that relied on sheer force to achieve miracles.

In just one day, two wizards were killed or injured in the wizarding community.

This victory may seem insignificant, but in reality, it also involved the annihilation of tens of thousands of affiliated legions and their followers.

It represents two military units!

Before the wizards could recover, in the following days, the mages launched another "sharp thrust" operation, concentrating their superior forces to kill several more wizards.

Thanks to Roy's care for the wizards of the Alage World under his command, Singus and Huier were placed in the relatively safe city center and thus escaped disaster.

Asternes and Legatos were held up by the enemy archmage and were helpless against it.

They themselves were also targets for decapitation, only their "necks" were harder to cut off. Time flew by, and it was already the end of August.

The situation changed drastically once again.

The Angel-class warship "Angelos" began to shift its focus to the city of Dune, and "Lightning Storms" frequently descended, completely suppressing the wizard legion!
******
"Damn it, several of my colleagues in other places have been defeated!"

"The place they were guarding has completely fallen, so the mages can now devote more resources and troops to our side!"

"If even we fall, the entire situation in Ktapodi will completely collapse!"

Astanes and Legatus were heavy-hearted when they confirmed the news.

The Angel-class warships are essentially similar to mage towers, but they are more maneuverable and more suited to war-related purposes.

It never directly engages in combat with ground troops, but rather acts like an aircraft carrier, providing the dispatch of various large machines and personnel.

Cross-dimensional communication and transmission are sufficient to ensure the supply of materials.

With powerful figures descending on both sides and using magic to seal off the void, a safe and reliable mobile fortress can be provided!

For example, DeFons has now been moved inside the warship and is receiving the best treatment and protection.

The same applies to other important personnel who were injured in the war.

In contrast, wizards were less skilled in this area and had no method for building large fortresses or warships.

At best, it can only create giant puppets like living castles, with little strategic value.

It was also thanks to Roy's capture of Dune City that their position was secured; otherwise, legendary spells and lightning storms could have struck directly at their base as a divine punishment.
Mages often have the advantage of airspace, and in open-air situations, wizards are easily attacked as soon as they show their faces!
"What are you talking about? Why are you all sighing like that!"

Just then, Roy, who had been in seclusion for more than a month, came out.

He saw two high-ranking wizard colleagues talking at a table in the hall and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Lord Roy, you've finally come out!"

Asternes looked at him and sighed.

"We're discussing the current situation. Do you think it would be more prudent to apply for a relocation to the rear given the current circumstances?"

Legatus backed down.

"I don't know whether we should retreat to the rear, but the alliance has issued new instructions that will probably not allow it."

As he spoke, he placed a magical crystal ball on the table.

The two were startled and looked over.

As expected, it was the red-robed consul Akhenin, who was in charge of the handover to them, who gave the order on behalf of the alliance with a serious expression.

"Your Excellencies, the three great wizards, will soon be launching an operation against the enemy. You will all follow Roy's orders and cooperate with him!"

To avoid being caught by "prophecy," there are some things you don't need to explain too clearly to them.

The three great wizards themselves were authorities.

Roy's command authority also reports directly to the league.

Although the two were somewhat surprised, Roy had already proven himself and wouldn't be negligent just because he was young, so they quickly agreed.

But after the call ended, he was still a little confused: "What exactly happened?"

Roy said, "You'll understand after September."

……

A few more days passed quickly.

September is here.

The scales of war have once again tipped in favor of the mages, and the city of Dune is in grave danger.

Because of the rapid depletion of resources, the limited capacity of the interdimensional teleportation array is already insufficient, making it difficult to replenish this area.

Legatus conscripted soldiers on the spot, forcing the Qutapodi to wear rudimentary armor to fight on the battlefield.

However, morale wavered, and desertions and even rebellions occurred frequently.

The city was almost completely destroyed.

The number of troops they could use was decreasing, and even Roy's existing enhanced skeleton army was gradually being replaced.

"Those are all my soldiers! My soldiers!"
I wouldn't even use it like that if I were in hell!

Osteron was closely monitoring the situation when he learned that Roy had ordered that Dunn City be defended "at all costs," and he was furious.

So you're saying you'll go to any lengths just because you're willing to pay the price yourself?
"What do you mean your soldiers? They've been enhanced and modified by me, so they're mine now!"
Besides, I already paid as collateral, so why don't you return those gems to me?

Roy dismissed it with disdain.

But he wouldn't say it that way; instead, he went around in circles.

"Lord Osteron, if you don't lend a hand, you will only suffer greater losses..."

I have no other choice but to rely on your troops to help me resist!
If we send reinforcements, the situation might improve. I think you might as well take a gamble.

"I……"

Osteron was furious, even through the void.

He always felt like he'd boarded a pirate ship.

But Roy's words seem to make some sense.

Since things have come to this point, ignoring it will only lead to the complete destruction of everything.

He could only respond to the summons in silence, sending another small group of level one bone demons and tens of thousands of troops over.

These level zero and level one troops may not have a significant impact on the battle, but they clearly provide temporary relief.

However, Osteron refused to come in person or send an additional legion of level two skeleton mages.

Because he knew there were legendary mages and archmages here.

It's already a medium-to-high intensity battlefield.

If things go wrong, and some world-destroying magic strikes down, even a hellish lord like him wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Ken's willingness to respond to Roy's "interdimensional summons" by leveraging his ability to exist across dimensions is already quite generous.

As for the Death Scythe and the fragments of godhood...

Nothing is more important than my own life!

However, what Osteron didn't know was that Roy had never intended to bring him over.

Even the Skeleton Army is essentially just a disguise.

A pretense to suggest that "Roy and others are still putting up a last-ditch resistance."

A few days later.

In the depths of Dune City, Roy adjusted the many facilities he had set up there and nodded in satisfaction.

This is a deep well, 300 meters deep and 1 meter in diameter, with a meticulously crafted miniature nuclear bomb buried at the bottom. The interior walls are covered with various petrified and diamond-crystallized coatings.

The unique structure makes the entire deep well resemble a cannon barrel. It is conceivable that when this small nuclear bomb explodes completely inside, unleashing the high-energy attack of a level three powerhouse, all the energy will be compressed and ejected upwards.

Above it is a specially made "cannonball".

Its overall shape resembles an elongated spinning top, with a manhole cover-like plug in the middle, a slender bottom, and a rounded head.

At the very top is a fist-sized alloy base, on which a "pine cone" is inlaid.

Its entire body is crystal clear, looking like it is made of solidified diamonds, and its shape is like a real pine cone containing seeds.

Roy applied all his knowledge to it. In essence, it was a "level 5 enchanted marble" split, mixed with many ammunition modified from star antimony, and a super-small divine abomination golem in the hollow tube in the middle!

******
"This is one of the 'ultimate' concepts in the field of 'weapons' as defined in 'creation science'..."

Pinecone bomb, Kukunari!

At this moment, no one else was watching; even Asternes and Legatos were kept in the dark. Only Freya, who was close to Roy, knew about the plan.

That's how I learned about this thing.

Its name is "Kukunari," and it is a blueprint for a top-tier alchemical product that combines technology and magic, originating from an arcane plane.

Roy created it using all the secret techniques he had mastered!

"As we all know, the definition of 'ultimate' in alchemy is not static, but constantly changes according to the times, regions, and the perceptions of different people..."

Roy nodded secretly when he heard Freya's sigh.

This is somewhat similar to the "Tao" in Eastern Taoism—the "Tao" is difficult to define.

Therefore, in the eyes of primitive people, paradise was a place where they could eat and drink their fill.

By the time the city-state era developed, weapons capable of cutting through bronze and severing metal were considered "divine weapons." If such high-strength weapons made from extraterrestrial meteorite iron were added, they would truly live up to their name.

After the Industrial Revolution, natural sciences developed greatly, and nuclear weapons, the "ultimate weapon" that utilizes mass-energy conversion, may have emerged in various parts of the world.

Even the hydrogen bomb powered by the "power of the sun"!

Similarly, this pinecone bomb, Kukunari, is the "nuclear bomb," the "ultimate bomb," of a certain arcane world!
It uses a substance called "stellar antimony," which generates terrifying energy comparable to a supernova explosion...

Of course, the actual scale is related to its own mass, just like the relationship between a "hydrogen bomb" and a "star".

The yield of a hydrogen bomb can also be very small.

"But in any case, the Star Antimony I filled in here is the two Magnetic Star Antimony that I captured from the Defons Legion during this battle."

The empty tube in the middle serves as the main explosive.

At the same time, I also used starstone to refine a number of small star-antimony substances, totaling 24 pieces...

It also continuously uses the electrical energy absorbed from previous thunderstorms, as well as various other forms of energy to replenish it.

If the theory is correct, it should be able to generate around 50 to 100 degrees, a power that can be described as legendary!

Next comes the core of the abomination golem filling the inner layer... a spiritual contamination containing the fears of the Frosh and the Ktapodi!

This will further enhance the bomb's destructive power!

Under the light of the Eye of Hermes, it shone with a dazzling golden light, yet it was transparent and bright, containing a crystal-clear quality.

……

The cannon barrel is in place, and so is the "ultimate bomb."

It can be said that everything is ready except for the final push.

Roy secretly sent a message to Akening.

Then the Seven Towers Alliance sent a message to the three great wizards, Mareshar, Adkenasi, and Stratigos.

At this point, they also began to take action, accelerating their plot against the Angel-class warships.

The date is the 11th.

The Archmage Malechar suddenly launched an attack, casting targeted sorcery in the astral void.

Countless shadowy figures, like tentacles, continuously emerged from his body.

Driven by materialized spiritual energy, it descended upon the material world and immediately solidified into tentacles resembling those of a giant octopus.

The octopus stretched for tens of thousands of meters, its thousands of tentacles grabbing and coiling, trying to grip the ship's hull.

At the same time, Adkenasi shattered the void and unleashed the "Face of God"!
His projection in the void transformed from a slender human figure into a terrifying silhouette resembling a demon god, with hundreds of tentacles, a massive head, and claws that became exceptionally horrifying.

Inside the warship, the mages who witnessed this scene were all severely traumatized.

Thanks to the energy shields on the warships, which reduced the damage to low levels of 3-5 rings, they were spared.

However, the widespread interference still caused some instruments to alarm, and the operations of various units became chaotic.

"What are they going to do?"

Inside the massive warship, in the central control room.

The legendary mage Apelli, Bagelt, sat atop the bridge on a circular platform resembling a hollow crown.

Each of their seats was a huge high-backed chair, with symbols of the sun, moon, and various stars engraved on it to form a "crown of stars".

Both of them frowned as they looked at the image of the demon god projected on the screen in front of them.

But at that moment, the third great wizard made his move, unleashing a terrifying attack.

This is the "Black Blade of Calamity"!
What were originally just basic level 9 spells were transformed into level 4 spells engraved in the soul by the great wizard.

This broke through its own template limit and transformed into a world-destroying void sword!
A black shadow flashed by and slashed down suddenly.

A gap was cleaved in the energy shield ring at the front of the warship.

"Unbelievable!"

Seeing this, the two legendary mages remained calm and composed.

Although both are Tier 4, the Angel-class battleship and the Mage Tower are both "Fortress" level constructs.

The units of this template, in terms of basic durability, energy scale, and offensive and defensive capabilities, are far superior to those of ordinary high wizards.

Moreover, they and their legions are not easy to deal with.

But then, something unexpected happened.

Inside the planet Ketapodi, the core of the well, which Roy had specially and meticulously constructed, was detonated. The long, slender "gyro"-shaped well cover, forged from alloy, suddenly shot out and pierced the sky at an astonishing speed of nearly a thousand times the speed of sound!

Its speed exceeds 30 meters per second!

The terrifying friction caused the alloy to vaporize rapidly, and even the world's will felt as if it had been pricked by a needle, causing it to shudder.

The earth trembled, and thunder roared...

However, it no longer affected the shell in the slightest.

Because it's too fast!

In just a few seconds, it travels thousands of kilometers.

Guided by a mysterious force, the pinecone bomb "Kukunari" pierced through the Angel-class battleship "Angelos".

The two legendary mages, along with the mages who detected the high-speed object, didn't initially pay much attention to it.

Because ordinary materials simply cannot penetrate the protective shield of a Tier 4 warship, let alone pierce the hull itself.

It is a product of the combination of arcane and technological elements, similar to a neutron coating on celestial degenerate matter!
In other words, it's similar to Roy's "coating," but on a higher level!

But to the mages' great shock, it accurately pierced through the ship's hull and went straight through at an alarming speed, from the head of the "dagger" all the way to the middle.

Finally, it exploded with a bang near the handle!

Because its speed was greatly reduced after being hit, the great wizards present joined forces to use their minds to hold it in place, and then detonated it precisely according to plan.

Terrifying energy poured out uncontrollably, heralding the beginning of destruction!
