Spellcasting Gods

In some ways, it does deserve that title.

However, Taruka is famous not because of its remote location, but because it is the birthplace of the first Overlord of the Chaos faction, a special planet that has existed since the beginning of the universe.

At this very moment, in this place that has long since exhausted its resources and energy and been abandoned by the original inhabitants, nine creatures of different appearances are gathered in a stone house with religious connotations, patiently waiting for something.

About two or three hours later, a mysterious creature covered in tentacles suddenly appeared out of thin air and bowed to the huge figure in the main seat: "As you requested, I have sent him an invitation. But interestingly, he is very cautious and does not seem to have fully mastered the power he has just acquired."

"Oh? What did he say!" The huge figure emitted a deep voice that echoed around.

“He said he needed some time to think it over. But I think he’ll find a secluded place to hide and slowly familiarize himself with the power of the string until he’s sure he can fully control it; otherwise, he’ll never show himself,” the tentacle monster replied casually.

"Hahaha! Very good! It seems it's only a matter of time before he becomes one of us. And who's the other one?" The huge figure laughed and continued to press.

“The other one is more troublesome. Our Dead Zone found him before we found him, so he seems more inclined to join the Order. Do you think we should take some action to nip the threat in the bud?” the tentacle monster cautiously probed.

The colossal figure gently shook its head: "No! It's not time yet. Although the universe will eventually return to its origin and chaos, the power of order is still strong. We need to wait for the best opportunity."

"So... we're just going to watch the order expand like this? You know, that self-proclaimed emperor has seized at least six more main strings." Another round, unidentified creature raised a question.

"Relax, my friend. Don't forget, his endless expansion has brought us two new rulers, both of whom have considerable grudges against him. So even if one of them joins the Order, do you think there won't be internal problems?" the enormous figure explained meaningfully.

"I see……"

"Then let's adjourn the meeting here!"

"I hope that when we meet again, we will get together to discuss how to destroy order and return the universe to chaos."

"Homage to the great Chaos! You are the origin and the end of all things!"

"pay tribute!"

……

Just as the rulers were leaving the dark red planet one by one, Zhang Cheng, who was hiding deep in the forest of an unknown planet, also encountered a little trouble.

To be precise, it was a group of creatures that looked seven or eight parts like humans, armed with crude weapons and armor, who broke into the tower he had built and even smashed a poorly made puppet pieced together from clay and rocks.

Right now, these guys have started wielding weapons like daggers, warhammers, and axes, frantically prying at the gold and jewels made of alchemy on the walls, the ground, and decorations. Their skill is astounding, clearly not their first time.

Without a doubt, they must be special professions on this planet, such as mercenaries and adventurers.

In particular, the man who looked very young actually possessed a certain degree of magical power.

The two fatal wounds the puppet just suffered were the result of him chanting incantations and casting spells.

Otherwise, with unenchanted, primitive, and outdated cold weapons, they could only tickle the puppet at best, and even after a hundred blows, they might not be able to see the energy core.

Watching this group of people, who could be described as either "intruders" or "robbers," frantically plunder the bottom of the tower, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly. He muttered to himself in a voice only he could hear, "Interesting! An adventure? Then let me play with you for a while, just to relax and clear my mind."

The words had barely left his mouth!

He raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly.

Snapped!

moment!

Suddenly, all the decorative metal statues standing on both sides of the corridor on the ground floor came to life!

"careful!"

"Damn it! These armors can move! Get out of the way!"

With loud shouts and reminders, the team, who were still in a state of excitement, immediately threw away the priceless treasures in their hands and quickly grabbed their weapons and shields to enter combat mode.

Of course, since it was a game, Zhang Cheng didn't intend to actually kill all these interesting invaders, but instead gave them the opportunity to defeat the living armor.

After all, the most important thing in a game is fairness, otherwise it will quickly lose its fun.

If he really wanted to eliminate these intruders, with the power he currently possessed, he wouldn't even need to snap his fingers; a single thought would be enough to make them vanish into thin air.

"Damn it! These armored creatures are too powerful! Don't fight them head-on! They turn very slowly, so try to use your footwork and distance to attack their leg joints!" an older man roared at the top of his lungs.

"You make it sound so easy! This stuff is made of the finest steel! My sword can only leave a white mark at most when it hits it." A woman nearby rolled her eyes in annoyance as she dodged the attack from the living armor.

"Magic! We need magic! Allens! Can you hold on?" The man turned around and glanced at the young man who was being protected in the middle.

"Leave it to me!"

Without uttering a single unnecessary word, the latter immediately raised the wooden staff in his hand and began chanting a spell loudly.

In no time, he had finished preparing the spell, and suddenly pressed his right hand to the ground, uttering the last note from his mouth.

Instantly!

The floor of the entire room suddenly became as smooth as a mirror. Because the armor was made of metal and was heavy, it clattered and clattered as people slipped and fell, and no matter how much they struggled, they could not get up.

In contrast, the team wearing leather boots, though also affected, still retained a certain degree of friction, quickly rushed forward, disassembled the activated armor into pieces, and resolved the crisis.

Before everyone could even sit down and catch their breath, a voice suddenly echoed inside the tower: "Brilliant teamwork! I must admit, you've given me a little surprise. In return, you can rest for twelve hours, enjoying delicious food and soft beds. I guarantee you won't be attacked in any way during this time. However, after twelve hours, even more exciting games await your participation. Remember, don't try to escape, because you have no ability to leave this tower; it will only be a pointless waste of time and energy..."

Chapter 1033 Toys

As most of the time, Zhang Cheng's style of doing things is either unpredictable and elusive, leaving people clueless, or decisive and efficient, giving the other party no chance to resist at all.

Clearly, the latter was chosen this time.

After announcing the rules of the game, he completely ignored the few pitiful creatures staring at each other blankly at each other on the lower level of the tower, utterly bewildered. He shut down the alchemical artifacts used for communication and observation, and sat alone in a chair, muttering to himself, "Perhaps I can try using the power of the string to create a few interesting creatures..."

At the same time, the squad members at the bottom finally came to their senses and shouted nervously, "Who? Who was talking just now! Come out! Stop sneaking around!"

"Shut up! Idiot! Are you trying to kill us?" The only spellcaster in the group tugged at his companion.

If anyone in the team knows this mysterious tower best, it has to be him.

Putting everything else aside, the mud golems and living armor we encountered earlier are enough to prove that the tower's owner is a powerful spellcaster. Angering such a person could mean dying without even knowing how.

"What's wrong? Why are you pulling me!" The muscular man clearly hadn't realized how dangerous his actions were, blinking innocently.

"Why? To survive, of course! Haven't you noticed? We've been targeted ever since we entered this tower. Aside from the mud golems guarding the entrance, the animated armor we just encountered was clearly a tool deliberately awakened by the owner of this place to play games with us. Use your walnut-sized brain! If they summon other monsters, do you think we can handle them in our current state?" the young man explained through gritted teeth.

"So...you mean we have to be patient now?" The middle-aged man took a deep breath, his eyes filled with vigilance.

“That’s right! We not only need to be patient, but also…”

Before the young man could finish speaking, a tightly closed door suddenly opened, and a dozen maids carrying exquisite silver trays walked out.

These newly created, soulless zombies, with perfectly genuine smiles on their faces, placed steaming hot food on the tables in the hall and casually cleaned up all traces of the fight.

After doing all this, they left behind a few bottles of wine that looked quite expensive, and then filed out behind the door.

The entire process was conducted without making a sound, and there was no communication whatsoever.

Shock!

fear!

numbness!

Almost simultaneously, all six members of the team rubbed their eyes, seemingly unable to believe what they were seeing.

Only when the aroma of food began to fill the air did the man, whose body was covered in strong muscles, finally swallow hard and ask in a somewhat uncertain tone, "This food shouldn't be poisonous, right? It's safe to eat, isn't it?"

"What do you think?" The young man did not answer immediately, but turned around and asked the petite figure who had been hiding in the shadows for several meters away.

Without saying a word, the latter immediately went to the food, pulled out his dagger, carefully dipped each piece in the soup, and licked it with the tip of his tongue. After a full five minutes, he finally answered, "No poison! At least there are no toxins that I know of."

"Fantastic! I've been stuck in the jungle for the past two weeks, and I'm starving. Today, I can finally have a proper feast." Upon hearing that it wasn't poisonous, the muscular man didn't hesitate at all. He grabbed a whole deer roasted to a golden brown and began to devour it.

Before long, a hind leg weighing five kilograms was almost completely gnawed away.

Seeing that he had eaten so much without any problems, the others also started to devour all the delicious food on the table.

Whether out of caution or because the intelligent life on this planet, which is seven or eight parts similar to humans, doesn't like alcohol, they didn't touch those few beautifully designed bottles of red wine.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the middle-aged man, who seemed to be the leader, wiped his mouth and stared at the entrance that had disappeared behind him: "Tell me, what should we do next? Or rather, how can we leave here alive?"

“Without a doubt! We’ve broken into the home of a powerful spellcaster. But he doesn’t seem to intend to kill us; he just wants to play a game with us, or perhaps conduct some kind of experiment on us. On the downside, we might never be able to leave. On the upside, at least we don’t have to worry about starving, dying of thirst, or exhaustion. And since it’s a game, it means there’s a chance of winning,” the young man who could cast magic analyzed.

"Can't we talk to him?" The only woman in the group frowned instinctively.

"Talk? Who do you think you are? Qualified to negotiate with a powerful spellcaster? No, my foolish friend, in his eyes, we're probably just ants he can crush at will, our only value being to provide some amusement. Don't even try to ruin that amusement, or we might be dead the next second." The young man warned in a heavy tone.

"Damn it! So, we're all doomed no matter what?"

"Not necessarily! Maybe they'll just get into a really good mood and throw us away like toys they're tired of playing with. Anyway, don't think too much about it for now. Just rest and wait for the game to start. Also, don't waste your energy trying to escape. From what I've observed, this tower itself is alive. It can automatically open or close any door, or even seal off any existing passageway."

"Damn it! If we had known it was this dangerous, we shouldn't have come in the first place."

"Ha! I don't know who was shouting excitedly just now, this adventure is definitely the best decision of their life, and they even plan to use all this gold and silver to buy a manor and enjoy a wonderful second half of their life."

Don't tell me you don't regret it!

"Of course I regret it! But the problem is, it's no use regretting it now. Forget it, talking to you about this is a complete waste of time. Let's get some rest, who knows what awaits us in twelve hours."

"Hopefully it won't be too hopeless."

……

While the team members on the lower level of the tower were bickering, Zhang Cheng, who was on the upper level, had already entered work mode, manipulating the powerful rule force originating from the universe to shape creatures with different forms and abilities, but whose strength was not that great.

After a period of trial and error, he has gradually grasped a lot of knowledge and skills, but he has not yet discovered which of the main themes he has absorbed is an advantage and which is a disadvantage.

In addition, he also vaguely sensed the enormous contradictions and conflicts within the entire universe, and that he would have to make a choice at some point.

This choice will determine future developments and the ultimate fate of the universe.

Chapter 1034 Game

Twelve hours is neither a long nor a short time.

As the clock on the lower level of the tower struck the gong repeatedly, emitting a piercing sound, Zhang Cheng's familiar voice echoed around him once more: "Rest time over! Game begins!"

next second!

Suddenly, four entrances appeared out of thin air in the thick rock wall, followed by four monsters covered in sharp spikes and with molten lava flowing from their bodies, slowly emerging.

Their size isn't too outrageous, only slightly taller than an adult male lion, but their lethality is certainly far greater.

Especially the eerie saliva dripping onto the ground with a hissing sound, and the sharp teeth and claws, all indicate that once you are tackled, the chance of survival is basically zero.

The adventure team members, who had been resting on the soft carpet, stood up abruptly upon seeing this scene, their faces filled with tension and fear.

"Damn it! Can anyone tell me what this thing is?" The muscular man gripped his weapon tightly, hoping the cold touch of the steel would give him a little bit of security.
