[All the preparations have been made. The remaining time is insufficient for significant improvement in your own strength. You begin to focus entirely on studying the legacy concerning the modification of creatures and puppet golems.]

Inheritance isn't something you can simply adopt outright; you need to adapt it to your own circumstances.

Fortunately, according to Livre, there are still at least several decades of preparation before the actual day of the wizarding expedition.

Such a major event, affecting the entire wizarding world, naturally requires a long period of planning and preparation.

You still have time to do your research.

You were so engrossed in your research in the lab that you almost forgot to eat or sleep, and before you knew it, you found it quite interesting.

Only when Livia occasionally visits you can you get a brief respite from your busy work.

[Until one day, nearly a century later, a slight tremor awakens you from the experiment.]

Livia rushed to find you and told you some definite news.

The Wizard's Expedition has begun.

You set down the array patterns on the fourth-tier puppet, changed your clothes, and stepped out of your wizard tower for the first time in a century.

[Buzz~]

A more violent tremor followed, and you found yourself on a street in the Sky City, gazing into the distance.

Countless wizards, coming and going, stopped in their tracks at the same time, performing the same action as you.

The tremors in the Sky City grew increasingly pronounced. Just as you were squinting, somewhat bewildered,...

With a deafening roar, the magnificent Sky City suddenly rose from the ground.

As you watched the enormous object lift off the ground, you couldn't help but take a deep breath. Livia gripped your hand tightly, her voice trembling with tension.

A massive crimson barrier slowly appeared in the sky, enveloping the entire Sky City and reflecting a vibrant red light onto the streets.

[To all seekers of truth.]

A powerful voice rang in your ears; though you couldn't see anyone, the voice resounded throughout the entire Sky City.

Today we march on a distant expedition, not to defend, not for justice.

[It's for plunder!]

For wealth!

[For enslavement!]

To crush every ant that dares to resist us into dust!

You raised an eyebrow, surprised by the voice's bluntness; it revealed its aggressive nature right from the start.

The countless wizards around you stopped their conversation and looked up to listen to this voice.

Your spells are the flames that burn down cities!

Your staffs are the sharp blades that cleave through the land!

Your magic is the power to rule over all things!

We can trample the land ahead at will.

The treasures ahead are waiting for us to seize.

The creatures ahead are at our command!

The weak deserve no life, the submissive linger on, and the rebellious are annihilated!

Bearing witness to truth, and glory in conquest.

[To conquer all directions and plunder all things.]

I hereby declare!

【expedition.】

【start!!!】

A series of buzzing sounds arose, and the tremors in the Sky City intensified.

You steady yourself, and Livia buries her head in your arms. You put your arm around her shoulders and gently pat her back.

This time, the expedition is truly about to begin; even Sky City, the Wizarding World's trump card, has been deployed immediately.

You were momentarily overwhelmed with emotion, never imagining that one day you would be able to participate in such a grand narrative that would rewrite the order of the universe.

[Your fate is unknown, but you feel no fear, only immense excitement.]

Suddenly, countless cracks appeared in the ground. You pulled Livia into a building beside the street, your eyes fixed on a location you sensed containing immense energy.

You see the ground tremble and cave in, revealing a deep, hollow cavity.

Immediately afterwards, a wizard statue shimmering with silvery-white light rose from the void, its height surpassing any building within sight.

[It depicted an elderly male wizard, holding a book in his left hand and a scepter in his right, with terrifying energy fluctuations brewing at the tip of the scepter.]

You slightly open your mouth, your breath almost stopping, and a bead of cold sweat trickles down your forehead.

The wizard sculpture suddenly opened its eyes.

[Hiss~]

The wizards around you all gasped in shock, and you were no exception.

For a fleeting moment, you seemed to be in a daze, as if you saw a great being watching over you.

[The moment you regain consciousness, you see a powerful torrent of unknown energy shooting out from the sculpture's scepter and hurtling into the distance.]

In an instant, countless identical torrents of energy appeared from every corner of Sky City, all heading towards the same goal: converging in front of Sky City.

At this moment, even time and space become incredibly fragile.

You didn't dare breathe, staring in shock at the scene before you.

Can you guarantee that if you were even slightly grazed by any one of these countless torrents of energy, you would have absolutely no chance of survival?

You feel Livia trembling slightly in your arms, as if suppressing a sorrowful sob.

You put your arm around her waist and gently kissed her forehead.

Livia looked up, tears slowly streaming down her face. She cupped your face in her hands and stared at you blankly.

An endless torrent of energy converged before the Sky City, and under the intense bombardment of energy, countless spacetime rifts appeared.

[You can see that the once stable spacetime has been violently torn open with pitch-black cracks, which, due to energy interference, have been unable to heal for a long time.]

[Until finally, a purple spacetime tunnel was formed.]

【Om! 】

The Sky City began to move, crashing viciously into the spacetime portal.

The book in the hands of the distant wizard statue had been opened at some point, and an inexplicable aura emanated from the sculpture.

The instant you collided with the time portal in Sky City, you felt an overwhelming urge to vomit.

The entire Sky City transformed into a streak of light, rushing into the spacetime tunnel and heading towards the unknown.

After a long while, you straightened up, wiped your mouth, and saw countless wizards take to the air, flying back the way they came.

Through the crimson barrier in the sky, you can see streaks of multicolored light—a unique sight only seen during time travel.

You know, war is about to begin.

The moment the Sky City exits through the time-space portal will be the moment the war truly begins.

You carried Livia, who had quieted down sometime during the night, and flew towards your wizard tower.
