Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 833 Severely Damaging the Fleet (4-in-1)

Previously, Roy had already gained a general understanding of the opponent's skill level.

The appearance of the Thunder Messenger was somewhat unexpected, but it did not affect the overall situation.

Besides, there are secret trump cards, trump card tactics...

I am not without my own abilities, and I can retaliate in kind.

This is what they call "you do your thing, I'll do mine."

Roy seized the opportunity and launched a swift and decisive attack on the opponent's core.

With the arrival of a large army, concealment became even more difficult. Therefore, he quickly tracked down the enemy's movements and teleported over, decisively using the Holy Grail to strike first.

Roy had been waiting for this for a long time. His long-accumulated divine power of desire surged forth, penetrating the fleet's defenses directly, and he threw in the special magical artifact that he had prepared in advance, capable of summoning all sorts of things.

Originally, both alien fleets and wizard tower units had extremely strong defenses against this kind of teleportation and delivery.

However, legendary-level projection techniques can even project "Heavenly Nail" across dimensions.

The fleet was indeed finding it difficult to defend against such irrational witchcraft.

Instantly, chaos ensued.

"Warning! Enemy attack!"

"Warning! Enemy attack!"

A piercing alarm sounded, and the internal guards reacted swiftly, with various combat machines also being deployed in a timely manner and quickly entering combat readiness.

However, the summoning artifact that Roy projected was a special treasure that resembled a "dimensional beacon" in appearance, and it also thoughtfully used shadow energy to wrap around it, giving it a certain degree of physical damage immunity.

As a technologically advanced civilization that has entered the interstellar age, the Cions Federation is naturally well-versed in various chemical energy kinetic weapons, as well as laser weapons, plasma shields, neutrino generators, and so on.

However, because it is not easy to use weapons of mass destruction inside a warship, it is not easy to destroy it quickly.

The passageways, corridors, and rooms were quickly engulfed by the Impure Earth Hounds and various beetles and elemental creatures.

They could only resort to the primitive method of mech-based hand-to-hand combat, using robots to clear a path and then retaliating with small self-defense weapons.

Such killing efficiency is very low, and it can't even keep up with the summoning speed that Roy deliberately urges.

Among these, the Golden Matan, a consumable item, was also decisively thrown in.

That was preparation for a one-way trip, solely to seize the window of opportunity.

……

"The results are pretty good, but on the flagship side, the Adversaire seems to be dealing with it quickly."

Roy pays special attention to the flagship.

However, he soon learned through the wizard's eye attached to those summoned creatures that the other side had used a high-level unit called "Arbitrator".

That was a more threatening and powerful type of soldier than the Thunder Messenger. The citizens of the Cions Federation each contributed their spiritual will to create this individual with a spiritual power approaching ten thousand degrees.

The high-tech modified body gives it a giant-like physique, reaching a size of 3 to 5 meters, and its physical strength is also close to 10,000 degrees.

This is a genuine level three powerhouse, and a powerful weapon.

What he used was the "belief" that the Sions were good at; invisible spiritual forces pierced out like sharp swords, invincible in their path.

After defeating one opponent after another, he encountered the formidable Golden Matan, and with a single gesture, he conjured a slender lightsaber with an ancient appearance.

"That's a weapon of conviction!"
A being similar to a soul-armored weapon!

Roy quickly determined it.

Because he himself had once made the spears of the Angel Legion, he was very clear about the power of such things.

However, according to intelligence, the Sionians' belief weapons not only possess powerful mental attack capabilities, but also have remarkable physical strength, which is an advantage over the spears.

Sure enough, the lightsaber was like a high-energy laser or a high-frequency weapon, easily severing the golden Matan.

This biological weapon, possessing only a powerful physique and resembling a martial artist, ultimately suffered from its lack of magical knowledge and was instantly torn to pieces.

It was precisely because of this superb combat efficiency that the guardians were able to eliminate the remaining opponents one by one.

One by one, the "vision" went out.

But Roy wasn't discouraged or bothered by these things; instead, he became excited, and the golden figure also showed some interest.

"This is really good stuff!"

The main warships were previously combat units, and their onboard data was also destroyed.

If we can capture the flagship or take these combat units prisoner this time, we'll finally have gained something, right?

In fact, he had already obtained some scattered information, but it was like a broken puzzle piece and not of much value.

Whether it's directly seizing complete documents or piecing together the puzzle, this will undoubtedly be a step forward.

As the number of summoned troops sent over dwindled, Roy finally finished preparing and unleashed a carefully crafted "Level 4 Animation Spell".

He has already been inscribed with a level four talent, allowing him to use the Animation spell at will.

Such meticulous preparation is for building up strength.

Therefore, he showed some extraordinary talent as soon as he made his move.

The image formed by the condensation of magical energy resembled a black shadow, much like the Shadow Fiend King.

It jumped straight into the flagship through the summoner's anchor point.

The moment it landed, it exploded with a deafening roar.

Like ink spilled on white paper, many machines and objects, once touched by this magical energy, quickly deteriorated.

The steel seemed to possess its own will and life, twisting and vibrating.

The spiritual power attached to it possesses the characteristics of simulating intelligence, ingeniously avoiding the rigid structure of the framework and focusing its efforts on various precision components.

Even if an ordinary wizard could achieve this level of control, if they couldn't correctly understand and recognize the various components and the structure of technological creations, they would still find it difficult to respond effectively.

But Roy possessed reverse engineering skills and an alchemical divine nature, allowing him to thoroughly understand these weaknesses, much like a skilled butcher dissecting an ox.

In an instant, almost all the combat machines and puppets that were hit were paralyzed.

Even more fatally, a large amount of black "ink" flowed into the depths of the flagship out of nowhere.

"not good!"

"They are flowing into the antimatter energy furnace!"

The Cions were horrified.

An energy furnace based on antimatter annihilation technology can be used to forge level four "ultra-dense lattice matter," opening up a high-level path to artificial white dwarfs and artificial neutron stars, and is also essential for the development of endless energy.

It is even more advanced than controlled nuclear fusion, and is a genuine Level 4 energy source.

But at this moment, the entire energy furnace was eroded by the black, activated energy, and immediately came to a standstill, just like the extinction of stars.

There was no time to be alarmed or angry, and soon another new danger alert spread to all sides.

"It's trying to erode the mastermind!"

"Quickly, intercept it at all costs!"

******
Like the physical structure of living organisms, warships of high-tech civilizations also have "hearts" and "brains".

During the surprise attack, Roy seized the opportunity to penetrate the "heart," temporarily paralyzing the opponent.

The spacecraft still has backup power and various repair methods available.

The situation was urgent, but far from being fatal.

But if even the "brain" is eroded or damaged, then everything is completely over.

This flagship, which has just arrived on the battlefield, and even the entire fleet, could be destroyed.

To prevent such a thing from happening, all sorts of creations, and even the Cions themselves, rushed forward one after another.

They currently have no way to cleverly break this magical energy; they can only rely on their own life energy and soul energy to fill it.

In addition, there are miniature antimatter bombs.

Because the principle of equivalent exchange remains the fundamental law of this universe, as long as there is a continuous source of energy to react with and neutralize it, this magical energy will eventually be exhausted.

As a result, even Roy felt as if his tentacles, which he had extended into, were being gouged out and devoured by tiny knives.

The powerful level four sorcery ultimately stopped, failing to truly penetrate the central control room.

However, the price the other party paid was also enormous.

Many powerful mechanical war machines and human lives were lost as a result.

A large area of ​​eroded sites along the way still retains extremely strong magical energy radiation.

The strange radiation that makes you feel intense heat as soon as you step inside contains a magical energy that can kill most biological cells, promote cancer, and drastically alter their activity.

Metal artifacts, along with various other materials, exhibit different reactions when approached based on their magical conductivity.

A whole bunch of robots were paralyzed inside, wriggling like maggots.

Inside the alloy tunnel, strange arms, resembling tentacles, stretched out, like a failed product of "Cretaceous Creation".

The dome, walls, and floor all resembled molten steel, seeping out viscous molten iron and then solidifying again.

The remains and corpses were fused together, creating a horrific scene resembling purgatory.

"This...this is the Great Wizard!"

"Vizel's sorcery!"

"How could it have turned out like this? This is completely illogical!"

When the wave of witchcraft subsided, the people of Sion discovered that everywhere there were twisted and bizarre shapes, transformed into the flesh and blood forms of some kind of living creature.

The areas unaffected retained their original alloy spaceship form.

However, while the attack subsided temporarily, the flagship's crisis was not only not resolved, but had only just begun.

The mainframe relayed the details of the recent clash to its internal systems; the ever-rational, mechanically synthesized voice delivered chilling news.

"The ship sustained 21.2% damage..."

Internal defense forces suffered 62.5% damage...

The antimatter annihilation furnace is down, and the repair time is unknown...

Backup energy rooms 1-4 were damaged...

"Main protective shield has been closed..."

The group, who had just been shocked by the effects of Roy's sorcery, suddenly snapped out of their daze.

"The damage was that severe?"

"The main shield has also been shut down?"

"There's nothing we can do. The main engine is damaged. This is something no one expected."

"This is really bad."

The backup power is insufficient to activate the highest level of the protective shield, and the enemy is lurking nearby, ready to strike at any moment..."

"The enemy previously displayed an attack pattern using shadow energy; those monsters called Shadow Fiends might have already infiltrated!"

"Never worry about that for now. Connect multiple backup power sources and we'll deal with the rest later."

Also, fix the main engine quickly!

Inside the flagship, several handsome men and women were scattered in different locations, seemingly not communicating at all, but in reality, they were discussing things remotely using the "belief" ability possessed by the Cions.

On the adjacent spaceship, the communication channel hosted by the quantum communication device also received messages from the crew of other warships.

"The high-energy reaction was fleeting, failing to capture the enemy's Grand Wizard's true form!"

"He's playing guerrilla warfare with us in the void of space; he hasn't shown himself in person!"

"Damn it, the enemies in this universe are far too dangerous!"

At this critical moment, a voice suddenly reminded them: "We still have a backup plan left on Wolf: the communication device on the Faretol!"

"Yes, now is the time to activate it!"

"Although it's not the best time, if we can create chaos for them and distract the enemy's high wizard, we can buy ourselves a chance to catch our breath."

"Let's use the communicator while it's still not completely broken!"

"Yes, use it quickly!"

Because of the special role of "belief", the people of Cions had long since completed the standardized process of voting and entered a truly democratic society.

Each of them possesses a corresponding level of authority and voting power as a citizen, and makes choices through negotiation.

Thus, a secret signal reached the planet.

……

At this moment, the Faletol.

In the base, which had been in operation for some time.

The spherical main battleship suddenly received a mysterious command. The reformatted mainframe was interfered with by an unknown force, and various commands became chaotic.

"Executing root privilege commands, hardware backdoor opened..."

"Faretor, return to the fold!"

An invisible tremor seemed to ripple through the earth, and mysterious lights flashed across the buildings and combat units within the bases, causing them to rebel.

"Something's wrong! The patrol machine is out of control!"

"The probe is attacking our position!"

"Nuclear strike detected en route! Dozens of nuclear missiles are heading towards our unit!"

The alarm blared.

The wizards at the Nehebul Wizard Tower, the Homo tribe base, and various locations where wizards were stationed and guarded, including mines and ley line nodes, quickly received warnings from the Nehebul Wizard Tower, causing some panic.

Although the Faretor had only been developed for two and a half years, it had rapidly built a formidable steel force thanks to the powerful production capabilities of its technological civilization.

Numerous probes, mechs, and photon turrets... By the standards of the Interstellar Alliance, they are comparable to the main force of a Level 2 civilization.

Even more lethal are those intercontinental ballistic missile-level weapons, capable of delivering powerful strikes against the planet's surface.

This weapon is deadly even to the strong, but due to the different developmental characteristics of different civilizations, it can only be considered as a first-level weapon.

In fact, the direct hit damage is already comparable to that of the Tier 3 magical artifact, Blazing Sun, produced by Magic Industries.

Fortunately, they do not possess magical attack attributes, nor can they manipulate elemental power.

At this moment, various magical metal shields, dimensional walls, and force wall spells are being cast.

The werewolf natives also quickly retreated into underground bunkers, relying on the fortifications above for defense.

******
Boom!

A dazzling light shone from all the bases and tribes.

Immediately following, the sound of a massive explosion spread with the shockwave, a mushroom cloud rose, and high-energy radiation shone in all directions.

A giant crater appeared, trees were burned... and the exposed villages were completely flattened.

Thanks to timely notification, this sudden rebellion did not cause significant damage to Roy's army.

However, a continuous stream of spaceplanes took off and immediately swooped down on the Nehebur Wizard Tower high in the sky.

At the same time, a second wave of missiles also attacked it.

The Wizard Tower immediately launched "Flame Rays" to intercept them, and eye-shaped demonic apostles appeared on the surface of the tower, unleashing bursts of magical light cannons.

High in the sky, it looked like fireworks exploding.

This is a tactic to attack where the enemy must defend.

The Sionians hoped to gain a temporary respite by interfering with Roy.

If Roy is even slightly distracted, they can seize the opportunity to retreat into the depths of space and hide temporarily.

This legion expedition can fail, but the flagship must be saved.

In response, not only were attacks launched on the ground, but dozens of Thunder Messengers and other similar ghostly figures also emerged.

"What it is?"

Roy was slightly surprised when he saw the dark red spiritual energy entity that exuded an ominous aura.

That seems to be a new type of soldier?

However, the world of science and technology is constantly evolving, and apart from a few fixed paths that align with the truth, such as stellar energy nuclear fusion and antimatter annihilation technology, the rest are branches and non-mainstream paths.

It just so happens that a certain planet possesses a special resource, or perhaps it took a detour in its development and happens to excel in that field.

Otherwise, many of them are just a flash in the pan.

Roy felt that these were the results of exploring spiritual entities and elemental powers.

This is somewhat similar to the arcane magic that Achinira possessed.

However, if we say that the magical industry of Achinila was developed by first having the arcane revolution and then acquiring scientific and technological achievements from the technological world, then these technological worlds undoubtedly had the industrial revolution and corresponding technological achievements first, and then tried to enter the magical field, attempting to analyze arcane or witchcraft.

These are all efforts that transcend vast realms. Similar to the early days of Vizel, when several great wizards were born at the same time and subsequently killed gods, seized kingdoms, and controlled small worlds, as well as the Achinira mastering science and technology, these are all low-probability events.

Before the thought even crossed his mind, the opponent's attack had already arrived.

The white Thunder Messenger wields the power of lightning.

The dark red one, on the other hand, is a kind of spiritual thorn, a power that directly attacks the soul.

Even with its current massive scale, I've sensed a certain sharpness within it.

Roy moved, his golden spiritual power transforming into a dazzling nebula-like radiance.

A gigantic golden figure stood tall, coldly observing the scene.

But just as the Sionians thought he would take some measures to block the attack, black clouds churned in the surrounding void.

The Shadow Demon King, who had been lurking behind him like a shadow, stood up, his tentacles whipping around to deflect the attacks.

The annihilation of similar entities by spiritual energy caused even the Shadow Fiend to suffer minor damage.

But Roy was completely unaffected; he didn't even look at it before putting on a huge mask.

This action is merely a projection of the mind.

But it is true that a demigod-level item appeared within his spiritual entity.

That semi-divine artifact containing the [Alchemy Godhood], the Mask of the Alchemy God (Level 4)...

A divine incarnation that reflects itself, a special item that connects to divinity...

His spiritual power was transformed into a dazzling golden light and released.

"An unusually high-energy reaction has been detected..."

warn!warn!
Activate the energy shield!

The artificial intelligence reacted immediately, drawing on backup energy and deploying a massive spherical shield before the Sionians could act.

In an instant, the figure transformed into a ball of light.

"Blinding!"
The punitive light activated by this power flashes brightly upon what is being looked at.

Immediately following this is the "mental shock"!
It has a punitive effect similar to "blinding," but goes further into the mind and is not affected by normal vision.

At the same time, the "Midas touch" was also put into use.

Similarly, this powerful sorcery, driven by authority and resembling divine magic, directly unleashed golden rays that traversed the void and struck the energy shield.

Ripples spread through the air, carrying an unsettling connotation.

As expected of a Level 4 civilization possessing demigod-level power, their flagship is a testament to their cutting-edge technology and is not so easily defeated.

But the people of Cions were plunged into panic once again.

"The energy for movement and jumping has been drained!"

"He did it on purpose, to drain our energy!"

"This is bad!"

But they can't blame artificial intelligence.

Because in a time of crisis, the decision to resist is undoubtedly the right one.

"It actually managed to block my attack..."

"That's pretty good!"

Roy watched this scene with an appreciative look in his eyes.

This also revealed the strength of the opponent's energy shield; if the main energy source hadn't been destroyed beforehand, they would have been a formidable opponent.

However, the next moment, he increased the output of the mask.

The accumulated power was depleted all at once, which caused the Alchemy beam to penetrate the shield and strike the flagship directly.

"I've been hit!"

At first, the Sionians thought it was just an ordinary attack, but they did not expect that in the blink of an eye, gold began to spread outward from the point of impact, and the matter was transforming in a strange way.

"Unknown laws of power..."

The ship's hull is being converted into gold!

"What? This isn't scientific!"

The 'Strong Alloy' we use is an 'ultra-dense lattice material' with performance comparable to legendary treasures. How could it possibly be transformed!

"This is completely unscientific!"

The technical staff inside the flagship store were all drenched in sweat.

The ship's hull material was transformed into gold...

In this way, wouldn't various cosmic radiations and external magical energy be continuously supplied?
And the structure of the spaceship itself...

Wouldn't it just collapse?
Sure enough, just as they realized this, the Shadow Fiend used "Shadow Stealth"!
The shadow behind the golden figure disappeared, replaced by a dark mist shrouding the interior of the flagship.

After a short while, the vision was restored slightly, but it was still dark and gloomy, with tentacles and monsters filling the interior.

"what!"

"Help……"

A chorus of screams erupted.

******
"flagship……

The flagship has fallen!

"The enemy's strength far exceeded expectations; the expedition has failed!"

"Calling the military headquarters! Calling the military headquarters!"

We have suffered a crushing defeat and request to retreat!

Not far away, the other warships and escort ships could only watch helplessly as Roy brutally beat the flagship, piercing its hull in a drastically different way, and then throwing the Shadow Fiend King's body inside, slaughtering it indiscriminately.

Soon, the resolution from the home planet was passed.

"You are permitted to withdraw on your own!"

It wasn't that the 12 main warships didn't want to fight; it was simply that nearly half of them had already been attacked, and there was considerable chaos within their ranks.

Some of them, even now, have not completely eliminated the Impure World Hounds and various elemental life forms.

Therefore, the only option is to quickly drive away and hastily leave this space battlefield.

However, the ability to transfer across star systems can only be achieved by increasing the speed of the spaceship to a certain level, thereby activating the faster-than-light effect of the ether under a powerful burst of energy.

In short, the speed doesn't pick up quickly enough; it only reaches a sub-speed state, making it difficult to activate.

Roy casually pulled out his staff and unleashed a burst of lightning, knocking one of them down. He then threw out his Golden Dragon Incarnation, Serpent God Body, and Beast God Body as well.

In a short time, he left behind 4.

The human body wasn't idle either. Under its own protection, it remotely summoned more monsters, constantly activating the summoner to cram more into the nearby escort ships.

He also managed to leave behind a small number of escort ships.

……

"Victory?"

A moment later, Roy confirmed this and didn't bother to give chase anymore.

He focused his main efforts on the flagship that remained, and sure enough, the other side once again fell into a suicidal destruction process.

Various machines and instruments self-destructed, and personnel died.

Even so, the remaining flagship, four main warships, and 16 escort ships still constitute a substantial amount of spoils of war.

Roy glanced at them and used his powerful mental energy to roughly understand their internal situation, thinking to himself, "I'm rich!"

The warship itself is a form of wealth, and the various strategic materials, minerals, and energy stored in its warehouses are also wealth.

Intangible technical data will always leave some behind during mass destruction.

This is like a probability-based jigsaw puzzle...

The more fragments you have, the easier it is to piece them together into a complete set!

This time, we've truly completed the puzzle by eliminating the overlapping parts.

Combined with his abilities in reverse engineering and repair, as well as the incredible effects of the Alchemy Godhood.

You could practically create an identical fleet by hand.

In other words, I got...

science!"

Suddenly realizing this, Roy himself felt a strange stirring in his heart.

Technological civilizations excel at the efficient use of matter and information. Their vast machinery, even mining machines, far surpasses human power in terms of sheer strength and carrying capacity.

At level zero, steam engines and internal combustion engines were already in use, along with the application of various firearms and ammunition.

Its limit is electrification and informatization, illuminating the technological path of nuclear bombs and nuclear power plants. Reaching this point means having the capital to advance to the next level.

After Level 1, they can basically use tactical nuclear missiles as conventional weapons. Their aerospace, biotechnology, and medical and health methods are also highly advanced, achieving things such as optimizing the genes of all citizens and establishing bases on satellites and even planets inside galaxies.

In the second stage, stellar energy will be widely used, enabling the planet to leave its own solar system and explore the surrounding galaxies.

But at this point, civilization is still essentially a frog in a well. It must reach at least level three and enter into true interstellar travel before it begins to realize that it is in a giant space bubble of a crystal wall system, with an endless sea of ​​stars and a vast universe outside, possessing endless planes and worlds.

That was the beginning of a god-level civilization that started moving towards level four and five.

The Interstellar Alliance contains god-level civilizations, whose inherited technologies have enlightened many Type III civilizations.

The Cions Federation was one of the biggest beneficiaries and one of the first to enter the interdimensional war arena.

Their home civilization is a level four civilization, and the main warships they manufacture are comparable to level three civilizations, possessing the function of a base.

Once you settle down and start production, you'll immediately become a first-class or higher production base.

Given some time to accumulate experience, we will reach the current second stage.

This has already been proven in previous seizures.

Given time, it may even be possible to completely replicate itself, create more main warships of the same level, and then develop further on nearby continents or planets.

Then it's all about mining, duplication, and snowballing...

"Get rich, get rich!"

Whether or not witchcraft can be combined with technology is another matter. Just the material supply for such a technological civilization would be an unimaginable astronomical figure.

At worst, we'll use it as a mining fleet!

Just as Roy was thinking this, suddenly, a mysterious force surged from inside the ship.

"It's innate talent!"

The Cions have left.

They didn't leave many souls behind, but after all, the supply warehouse contained a large number of spiritual items, as well as the Thunder Messenger and the crimson psionic messenger from before.

And the arbitrator!
Roy recalled what he had learned about the Cions and suddenly realized that to become an "arbitrator," one must cut off a part of one's spirit and seal it in such a physical entity.

In other words, civilized individuals sacrificed their spirit and will to create this advanced military unit.

This is equivalent to a low-level civilization enlisting in the army.

The same principle applies to Thunderfury and Psionicists.

The only difference is their respective levels and the amount of soul energy they possess.

"Killing these things can actually yield Origin Essence?"

Roy was slightly surprised as he felt the absorption of the talent essence complete. A semi-transparent illusory panel appeared, and the words were revealed.

[Alchemy talent gain in progress (100%)]

【Extracted Essence (Gold Grade)】

[Requires mastering the "Triple Greatness," which involves reversing the fundamental process to extract essence from finished equipment or materials. The success rate is determined by both the current alchemy level and the quality of the materials.]

"This is……

Is this a completion of the previous "Triple Greatness"?

Seeing this, Roy secretly admired it.

Moreover, he also vaguely sensed that another talent of the same origin was also gathering, but the pieces were scattered and, for the time being, no progress had been made.

However, given time, by killing more Arbitrators, or units such as Thunder Messenger and Psionic Messenger, the numbers will accumulate and eventually manifest.

I've already locked in the rewards of my next talent!

(End of this chapter)
