Post-Apocalyptic Survival Modpack

Chapter 64: Time stopped.

at the same time.

High in the sky, two people were walking on air, skimming over the ground, occasionally traversing space, and rapidly approaching in one direction.

They ignored some small villages and towns, heading straight for the largest city in the northern region.

That is, River Bend City.

"I'll save the magic for you later, just blow up that whole city."

"Haha, good idea."

"how about you?"

“I’m going to find that ‘sage’ and see what kind of person he really is.”

During their conversation, the two had already reached the skies above the city.

"What a high wall."

One of them looked at the thick, tall, magnificent round stone wall in front of him and exclaimed in awe.

"This is something no ordinary person could do. It seems the news is true; this place has been completely taken over by the community."

"Then there's no need to hold back."

As he spoke, the man casually waved his hand.

Boom!

Without warning, a massive explosion occurred at the base of the high wall, with an extremely wide blast radius spanning hundreds of meters.

As a large number of blocks exceeded their tolerance threshold, they either disappeared or were blasted into debris, creating a huge gap in the wall.

However, even though the bottom was blown up like this, the upper part of the wall was not affected at all, as if it were in another space-time, and did not interfere with the bottom.

wow-

With a wave of his hand, two more massive, pitch-black rifts opened vertically between the city walls, swallowing up the city walls within their range.

Combined with the previous explosion, this section of the city wall, more than 100 meters long, completely lost contact with the ground and floated directly into the air.

They're not even pretending anymore; it's obvious they're not going to abide by the laws of this world.

"Interesting, really interesting."

After testing it with great interest and conducting an experiment, the sorcerer stopped and did not proceed with any further action.

He looked through the floating walls and into the interior, saying, "The city is very quiet. There are no people on the ground, only some mindless steel golems patrolling the streets."

"It seems they received advance warning and all went into hiding."

"A bunch of fools, do they think they can escape like this?"

"Let's just take action and see if we can force that sage out."

"it is good."

The other person responded, raised his staff, and was about to chant in a high-level magical language to unleash his magic.

But he was stopped.

"This isn't the capital city, no one's restricting you. Why are you using a staff? Do you really enjoy using those low-level spells?"

"Oh right, I'm used to it."

Upon being prompted, the person immediately dropped the staff in his hand and instead slightly raised his hand.

Then it got dark.

A massive surge of magical energy converged above River Bay City, forming a colossal, contradictory mixture of lava, flames, lightning, ice, and scorched rocks.

It didn't fall immediately, but continued to gather magic power and grow larger.

Anyone can see that if this thing explodes, it will definitely create a mushroom cloud.

Alongside it, a massive fireball was gathering at the zenith, its number dense, resembling stars in the night sky, and each one larger than a house on the ground.

If it were to fall, it would be an absolutely devastating disaster.

"Wait, gentlemen, please wait! What is the reason for this?"

Just then, a person rushed out from inside the city.

He looked at the two people in the sky, his legs trembling, but he swallowed his pounding heart and mustered his courage to shout:
“I am the person in charge of River Bend City. Why did you launch an attack without cause, gentlemen? We have always paid taxes to the Empire on time. Isn’t that enough to show our loyalty?”

The person casting the spell ignored him, but another person raised their voice and said in a sarcastic tone:
"Ha, clown, no matter how much time you stall, it's useless. Do you really expect some cowardly sage to suddenly appear here and save you?"

As it spoke, the elemental meteorite in the sky had condensed to almost half the size of a city. It continued to gather magic power and grow larger as it slowly descended.

This attack was enough to destroy the city.

"is it?"

Just then, a voice came.

The person in charge of River Bay City turned around and his face lit up with joy, as if he had seen a savior.

However, while I was delighted, I was also very surprised.

What a great speed!

The sage arrived instantly, just seconds after the message was sent!

They had no idea what the person in charge was thinking.

Wang Ji stepped through the portal and pointed to the sky.

The magic network connects, the element library is accessed, and magic power pours out.

A tremendous force rose from below, forcefully pushing back the meteorite, which was about half the size of a city.

At the same time, a spatial distortion barrier appeared, covering the entire River Bend City, either bouncing off the falling fire rain or distorting it to extremely far places.

The city is safe and sound.

Telekinesis + Distortion.

"As a mere practitioner of magical arts, I may not be able to deal with you, but as a practitioner of mysticism, I have plenty of methods."

"You're going to massacre the city right off the bat. I really need to control you guys. To be honest."

He waved to signal the person in charge of River Bend City to go back and take refuge.

Wang Ji raised his head, wings sprouted from his back, and in an instant flew into the air, confronting the two high-level magic users opposite him.

The power of the Sorcerer is indeed formidable, with energy levels and stats that far surpass many of the King's mods and items.

But it's only because the numbers are relatively strong.

The rules will teach them how to be good people.

The two high-level sorcerers were surprised by Wang Ji's appearance, but their surprises stemmed from different points. "We never expected that the renowned 'Sage' would be just a teenager."

One of them pointed at Wang Ji's head and teased in a playful tone, "The meteor hasn't even fallen yet, and you can't even neutralize such a basic destruction spell. What are you talking about... control?"

"Pfft hahahahaha——"

After laughing heartily, the man said, "But unexpectedly, you are actually a high-level cultivator, with great potential."

"Sign a contract now to serve the Empire, and I will grant you the privilege of becoming the high-ranking 'Eighth Seat,' sharing the privilege of being 'second only to the Emperor.'"

"Oh, don't worry, that 'one person' refers to the Archmage, not that stupid pig."

'What is this guy talking about?'

Wang Ji looked puzzled and confused. He looked at the person who had spoken and said:
"Don't worry about it. Even with River Bend City behind me and a meteorite in my hand, I can still handle both of you."

"Insanity!"

"You think you can fight the empire all by yourself? Not to mention all those civilians who are holding you back!"

“Young sage, you do not understand. At this moment, you are full of flaws. Your kindness will lead you into the abyss.”

The sound spread throughout the city and carried far.

It's obvious this person is trying to undermine morale and mess with people's mentality.

And, like Wang Ji, he was also stalling for time.

Lifting a meteorite with telekinesis is no easy task; it consumes a massive amount of magic power every second, enough to drain a bunch of mid-level sorcerers dry.

Even those with high-level magical reserves wouldn't dare to squander their power so recklessly.

He was waiting, using words to wear down Wang Ji's mentality, and using time to weaken his magical reserves.

However, Wang Ji considered both the man's words and actions to be futile.

Mindset?
Extremely stable.

As for magic reserves...

—In various important production towns, rows of ancient alchemical furnaces continuously devour matter, generating new magic.

The Ancient Alchemy Furnace, forged using the Primordial Pearl dropped by the Evil Lord as a catalyst, can instantly devour all matter and transform it into primal essence, its efficiency is terrifying.

It can't store many elements, but as long as the output speed is fast enough, the output will be sufficient.

Countless people operated the alchemical furnaces, removing impurities, and with the assistance of puppets, they transported magic power into corresponding containers, connecting it to the source material library of the magic network.

Every second, a massive amount of magical energy is produced, and its growth rate far exceeds the maximum output power of the King's Limit, making it inexhaustible.

"That's a misconception. You're not fighting me alone."

As Wang Ji slowly approached the two, he said, "What stands before you is not just 'I,' but 'we,' a being that embodies the collective productivity of the entire community."

30 m.

"I know you have external reserve magic power prepared in advance, but how much of that is there?"

25 m.

"Can we keep you drained indefinitely?"

20 m.

"I can."

Wang Ji smiled slightly, and instead of conserving his magic power, he increased his output, unleashing a torrent of magic power. His terrifying psychic power directly propelled the meteorite, which was the size of half a city, into the far reaches of the sky, turning it into a black dot.

"Haven't you noticed yet?"

15 m.

Wang Ji opened his arms.

The two high-level magic users trembled violently, looked up and glanced around, their pupils shrinking sharply.

Magic...it's magic!

Magic is here, magic is there, magic is everywhere!
A vast network of magic, imperceptible to the untrained eye, weaves through the air, covering the entire city—no, including the entire sky above—no, it has no end in sight!

"What is this?!"

One of the two shouted and reached out, forcibly using his advanced analytical abilities to touch the network and squeeze into it.

But all I received was a hint:
Insufficient permissions, access denied.

10 m.

At this moment, Wang Ji had already slowly flown to the two of them.

Unbeknownst to him, he was no longer wearing the Cloud Robe, but the Starry Cloak imbued with the power of the Clock Constellation.

The two high-level magic users came to their senses and looked at Wang Ji in front of them again, suddenly feeling an immense fear.

A portion of this vast, boundless network of magic is connected to the boy in front of him, providing him with a continuous supply of magic.

No wonder, no wonder he wasn't flustered at all, no wonder his mental power and magic hadn't run out after using them for so long.

His external magic reserves are probably more than the combined reserves of the two people on his side.

Continuing to drag this out will only be detrimental to our side.

His biggest advantage right now is that he's only level 10—just a beginner at the advanced level.

To win, we must do it now!
Crush this novice in the swaddling clothes of a high-level expert!
"Do it!!!"

Boom!

One person raised his hand, and bolts of lightning ripped through the sky, crashing towards Wang Ji like giant cannons.

From raising his hand to casting the spell to the attack landing, the speed was extremely fast, exceeding the limits of human reaction.

Wang Ji stood still, neither dodging nor avoiding, as if he had truly not reacted.

The corners of his mouth turned upward.

The sudden shout of the miraculous technique made my heart skip a beat.

wrong!

As the thunderclap struck Wang Ji in the blink of an eye, a powerful stellar energy field instantly spread out from the cloak.

Swah——

Centered on the king, within a radius of ten meters.

Time has stopped.
