Spellcasting Gods

So when the massive fleets began to approach each other and came within firing range, the first round of saturation attacks began.

In the once dark starry sky, the brightest light in the entire material universe suddenly flashed!

Billions of kilos of energy are released here!

Its immense energy even managed to fill up a large number of man-made black holes!

Matter and energy were constantly being transformed in this region in the most intense and unimaginable ways. The outermost warships of the fleet didn't even have time to react before they turned into insignificant dust in the universe.

Their prized energy protective field couldn't even last a second before it disintegrated along with the ship.

Without a doubt, there has never been a war of such scale and intensity in the entire material universe before.

Compared to this, the superstring war I participated in before was nothing more than children playing house.

"Energy, matter, and the blossoming of life at the moment of death...it's truly beautiful and magnificent! It seems your allies have decided to risk everything to teach me a lesson, haven't they?" Zhang Cheng asked with a half-smile, resting his chin on his hand.

Clearly, the fierce fighting outside had no effect on his mood.

To be precise, the lives of the Darents were never taken seriously.

“You guessed right! With a mobilization of this scale and an allied army of hundreds of super-civilizations, the rulers have used every trump card they have except themselves. Do you think your servants can withstand it?” Afuya raised her head and asked in return.

"I don't know." Zhang Cheng shook his head casually. "What does it matter to me whether they can hold out or not? Survival and destruction are always a simple choice. If they can hold out, it means these Darrents, who split from my soul, have the potential to become the overlords of the entire universe, and I will grant them appropriate status after the war. But if they can't hold out, I'll only lose a bunch of worthless cannon fodder. Believe me, in this universe filled with countless intelligent races, there are countless races willing to become my servants. I have the ability to rebuild a group of qualified subordinates in a very short time, but can the super civilizations controlled by the Overlords recover to their original state in such a short time?"

"How ruthless! Your personality is still the same as before." Afuya's tone was full of sarcasm.

"Cold-blooded? How many of those who have reached the position of Dominator on the path of evolution are not cold-blooded? If they weren't cold-blooded and ruthless, who could sever ties with the past, sever those complex emotions, and choose a path of evolution that requires enduring loneliness and solitude? Especially after losing all ethical and moral constraints, almost every Dominator has broken free of their shackles, unleashing the darkest desires hidden deep within their hearts. Some are just more direct, like me, while others are more hypocritical, like you. Tell me, dear Afuya, are you still constantly resurrecting your twin brother and frequently succumbing to love with him?"

As Zhang Cheng uttered the last word, Afuya's expression changed drastically, her pupils flashing with a complex mix of panic, disorientation, fear, and anger.

She never dreamed that the secret she had kept hidden in her heart would one day be discovered by outsiders.

"How...how did you know?!" The female ruler's voice trembled slightly.

"Is it strange? Don't forget, I returned from the spiritual world, able to penetrate your physical body and directly read the fluctuations of your mind. It's truly unimaginable that you, who have always maintained a pure image, would develop such strong feelings and possessiveness towards your twin brother. What's even more interesting is that after he explicitly rejected you, you actually went on a rampage, killing him and then resurrecting him as an undead using necromancy, before imprisoning, enslaving, and controlling him..."

"Shut up! Don't say anything more!"

"What, did I hit a nerve? Or is it that you, in your hypocrisy, have never been able to face your own heart, to confront the ugliest side of your humanity?" Zhang Cheng clearly had no intention of letting the other party off easily, and continued to use sharp words to drive the other party to lose their temper.

"Shut up! Shut up! You don't understand anything at all! You have no right to comment on what I've done! At least, I didn't destroy my home planet, or destroy the relatives, lovers, and friends who once cared for and loved me." Afuya retorted loudly and desperately while panting heavily.

Unfortunately, such accusations had absolutely no effect on Zhang Cheng, who was immersing himself in darkness.

He replied with a faint smile, "No! You're wrong! I've never had any friends, much less truly loved anyone. Those you think I care about are just social distractions to kill time. Our relationship is less about friendship and more about mutual exploitation. I never hide the dark side of my personality; I even openly display it. On the contrary, you always like to show your good side, but secretly you do things that are even darker than mine."

"What exactly do you want?!" Afuya finally realized something was wrong, her face full of vigilance.

"What do you want me to do? Of course, I want you to do something insignificant for me. Shame usually refers to the feeling of shame and humiliation caused by the despicable moral character of the object. It is a moral emotion of self-awareness and self-condemnation. The reason you have such feelings is because your subject consciousness has not yet severed ties with everything in the past. But it is not too late to make a severance now."

As he spoke, Zhang Cheng suddenly stepped forward, grabbed the female ruler's slender neck, and lifted her up from the ground.

Of course, this level of physical attack is not enough to harm the most powerful life forms in the material universe.

However, after capturing it, he began to frantically pour his invisible spiritual power into the other party's consciousness.

In the blink of an eye, Afuya's body and mind began to struggle frantically, trying to break free from this controlled state.

Unfortunately, after her psychological defenses were breached, a crack appeared in her mental barrier, which Zhang Cheng took advantage of, and her dominant personality unknowingly received some information it shouldn't have received...

Chapter 1412 The Twilight of an Old Era (Part 2)

This war, which involved almost all advanced civilizations in the material universe, lasted for less than a hundred hours before the main axis closest to the battle zone collapsed due to overload.

Almost every intelligent life form with the ability to observe can clearly see that in the stable cycle of the multidimensional universe, there has appeared a huge gap that is impossible to fill or repair.

Around this gap, everything—matter, energy, or whatever else—was strangely distorted.

No one knows what happened inside, let alone how serious the consequences would be.

The only thing the rulers knew was that they had no way out. They either had to eliminate this challenger who was trying to overthrow the old order and crush all his dreams and ambitions, or they would become a group of pathetic losers and be swept into the dustbin of history.

Crazy!

destroy!

despair!

Most participants in wars don't even feel the pain of their impending death; they are instantly pulverized by intense attacks as soon as they enter the range of the enemy's weapon systems.

Here, all skills, tactics, and strategies are useless; all that exists is the most primitive, savage, and pure head-on collision.

Countless advanced civilizations that once dominated their regions suffered heavy losses, while others completely lost all their armed forces.

The brutality of the war far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Interestingly, neither Zhang Cheng nor the rulers, as the two sides that initiated the war, showed any intention of getting involved.

They watched from afar as their cannon fodder whittled each other down, patiently waiting for the perfect moment to intervene.

……

"This is unbelievable! The casualty ratio between the enemy and ourselves has reached an astonishing 1 to 300,000!" A ruler looked at the report sent by his subordinate with an expression of disbelief.

It should be understood that almost every civilization qualified to receive the summons of the rulers is a weak one.

But now, these powerful advanced civilizations have been crushed by a group of Darrents who have just entered the interstellar age.

That's right!

It's a complete crushing defeat!

It would take almost an entire space fleet to destroy a single enemy magic warship.

“Those mysterious dark blue liquids are really too troublesome! We must find a way to deal with them, otherwise attacking is practically suicide.” Another Overlord expressed his opinion with a furrowed brow.

Where he looked, tens of thousands of magical warships were forming a semi-circle, and the launching devices at the front, which were originally intended for attack, were now slowly laying down a large dark blue isolation zone in front of them.

Whether it's an energy weapon or a physical attack, it will be intercepted 100% of the time, ultimately resulting in an eternal frozen state.

Only at the moment the defenses are lifted and a counterattack is launched can the fleet, controlled by the rulers, have a chance to pass through the isolation zone and destroy the enemy warships behind it.

But the price was that they suffered 300,000 times more deaths and losses than their enemies.

If the Darrents hadn't proactively removed the isolation zone, they wouldn't even have known if they could have inflicted the slightest damage on the enemy.

Nothing is more despairing than fighting a war in which there is no hope of victory.

Even the rulers could clearly sense how desperate the fleet commanders who initiated the attack were.

Just as they were carefully observing the mysterious deep blue liquid, as if trying to find some flaws, a familiar figure suddenly appeared at the door.

"Afuya? Why are you back!" The first Overlord to react showed surprise in his eyes.

After all, in the minds of most rulers, this "messenger" was probably already dead, or had been cruelly tortured and imprisoned, and had not been able to come back alive.

"Is that even a question? Of course, he's the one who let me come back," Afuya replied expressionlessly.

Whether it was a misperception or not, every ruler present suddenly felt that she seemed a little unfamiliar, that something about her was different from before.

"Who is he?"

The Overlord, whose face bore an unhealable scar, was the first to raise the question that everyone was most concerned about.

"Him? He is...he is..."

Afuya's expression suddenly became conflicted and pained, while her eyes flashed with a deep blue halo, and her whole body trembled violently uncontrollably.

"Oh no! Get out of the way!"

One of the rulers clearly sensed the danger. While shouting loudly, he disregarded the lives of his subordinates and tore through space to enter.

next second...

boom!

A dazzling, blinding blue light exploded at the center of this warship, which was equipped with the most advanced technology in the material universe!

It encompasses the entire command system, including the Overlord and the entire massive interstellar fleet.

Absolutely no surprises!

They all became motionless living statues in an instant. Only three quick-moving individuals managed to escape unscathed, standing at a distance with wide eyes staring at the completely frozen area.

"No! No! No! No! No! I... what have I done?!?"

Afuya, the only one standing unharmed at the epicenter of the explosion, stared wide-eyed at her surroundings, her hands trembling slightly uncontrollably.

She had no idea what was happening to her or why she wasn't affected by the blue liquid.

Before the female ruler could recover from her shock, a ghostly figure emerged from behind her and, with lightning speed, smashed the frozen rulers one by one, then sealed the broken limbs into a pre-prepared container.

After doing all this, Afuya realized that the other person was none other than Zhang Cheng, who had recently had a physical altercation with her in the palace.

"What did you do to me?! Why can't I remember anything at all?" the female ruler asked through gritted teeth.

"Me? I've simply helped you sever all ties with your past. From now on, you belong to me."

Zhang Cheng reached out a hand and gently stroked the other person's cheek, his eyes never leaving the few rulers who had escaped death in the distance.

He was certain that the old order had collapsed after this surprise attack.

When all advanced civilizations realize that the Dominator is no longer the highest level of life in the material universe, they will inevitably submit to this new ruler.

However, no one knew that Zhang Cheng had no intention of becoming a ruler.

On the contrary, he had a higher goal and pursuit: to become the creator of the entire new universe.

The twilight of the old era is drawing to a close, and the dawn of a new era is about to rise...

Chapter 1413 Destruction

The singularity, also known as the origin, is said to be the center of the entire material universe and the place where the universe was first born.

Even among the many super-civilizations, very few would know of the existence of the singularity.

Because it doesn't exist on any star chart, nor does it exist within matter and energy; instead, it's like a solidified black gel, constantly expanding, shrinking, expanding again, and shrinking again...

At its largest, the radius can cover tens of light-years, while at its smallest it is merely a point that cannot be distinguished by the naked eye.

After destroying the rulers who symbolized the old order, Zhang Cheng transplanted the Chaos Tree here, allowing its roots to gradually seep into the singularity, continuously drawing energy and matter from the balance of the material universe.

It goes without saying that he has already begun planning to reshape the entire known world.
