Chapter 578: Chapter 40: Current State of the Wizard World (Part 1)

"Protean Divine King..."

Richard listened to the voice beside his ear, feeling his body petrify once more.

Two Divine Kings had simultaneously noticed him, seemingly vying for him. In the Gods Civilization, this is a blessing many people pray for fervently but never receive. Yet, for Richard, this fortunate turn had become a death sentence.

"Oh well, too many debts to worry about. Once I get in touch with the Dean, I’ll have someone backing me."

Richard comforted himself for a moment, then persisted in preparing the meeting gift for the Protean Divine King.

It was a Rune constantly changing, which Richard recalled Ulysses had mentioned, similar to the Wizard Runes held by the Protean Divine King.

It was a Rule Rune, an ordinary person would faint at a glance, only those with World Lord Level strength could fathom its mysteries.

This Rune changed shapes incessantly within Richard’s Spirit Space, making onlookers dizzy. But as a Wizard, Richard sharply perceived the intricate subtleties of this Rune.

The shape-shifting Rune seemed like each was a rare Rune.

After observing for a long time, Richard confirmed his conjecture. He carved out the runes he observed, each being a complete Rune with self-contained cycles. And upon activation, each effect was related to the Fire Element.

At the moment of confirming the observation, Richard realized the essence of the Rune.

If nothing goes wrong, this Rune contains a complete Fire Element Rule. And the ever-changing appearance of the Rune is "narrating" the Fire Element Rules.

"Rule scripts... truly amazing things," Richard marveled.

He couldn’t imagine what new witchcraft this Rune could yield if mastered by a Wizard.

After observing for a long time, Richard suddenly felt a dizzy spell.

When he gathered his wits, he found his spiritual power had nearly depleted without his awareness.

"Does observing Runes consume spiritual power?"

Richard attempted to continue observing the Rune while also monitoring the changes in his spiritual power. Sure enough, upon observing the Rune, his spiritual power plummeted at a staggering speed.

"Damn, this thing is using my spiritual power to analyze rules."

Upon enlightenment, Richard clutched his head, the spiritual power depletion causing a splitting headache.

After easing up a bit, Richard immediately commenced meditation.

Upon becoming a World Master, the Sea of Souls underwent substantial transformation before Richard. If he was a small fish or shrimp before, now he’s a shark roaming the sea. As long as he doesn’t encounter those World Lord Level Soul Sea Giant Beasts, ordinary Soul Sea creatures pose no threat to him.

However, Richard wasn’t interested much in soul exploration since he was not a Soul Wizard.

Upon completing meditation, Richard stood up and began utilizing the Power of Dimension belonging to Wizard Dimension. At the moment he harnessed this power, information surged into his mind—a Magic Model, the witchcraft effect being opening a door to the Wizard Dimension.

"Should’ve known, Wizard Dimension indeed, everything Wizard-themed even the way to enter the dimension."

After organizing the received information, Richard began casting spells.

The door leading to the Wizard Dimension was immensely complicated to construct. Roughly equivalent to Seven Rings witchcraft difficulty.

Before, Richard had to rely on ritual, many people casting to accomplish this witchcraft. But now, this complex Magic Model was merely a bit complex for Richard.

After two failures, Richard quickly summoned a Rune Gate upon finding a tip.

Pushing the gate open, Richard saw a world where the sky was overcast, and the land was filled with somber Wizard Towers.

...

Bang!

Huge fireballs exploded in the air, scorching fire waves instantly devouring a swarm of Galaxy Mayflies.

On the vast plain, countless small bunker groups were fighting. Huge fireballs exploded continuously in the air, scattered flames even covering the sky.

And above these fireballs was a colossal mayfly battle group like dark clouds.

Buzz!

Bright beams descended from the sky, instantly vaporizing a fortress along with the Wizards and Alien combat units inside.

"Support, we need support!" Ali, dressed in a black robe, angrily shouted into the Communication Crystal Ball.

Compared to Richard’s memory, Ali had massively transformed. The once small and frail Ali compared to Richard, now turned into a tall figure like Richard, with a much more robust physique.

Tiny dragon scales, like a layer of soft armor, enveloped her body completely. Once light blue eyes had turned to dark red, atop her head, a pair of exquisite golden Dragon Horns intermittently emitted a golden arc.

If Richard were to evaluate now, Ali was far sexier than before.

But at this moment, the face of this enchanting figure bore a fury intense enough to burn anyone to ashes.

"The Floating City Combat Group should have arrived fifteen minutes ago! Why are they not here yet!"

"Agent Ali, please calm down. The Floating City Combat Group encountered an ambush by the Galaxy Mayfly battle group on their way. But they are breaking through as fast as they can... sizzle sizzle"

Listening to the static from the crystal ball, Ali was so angry that she left five fingerprints on it.

"Damn it!"

Ali threw the crystal ball onto the table, her body trembling slightly with anger. But as an old wizard, at least an old wizard on this battlefield, she could not lose her composure.

A moment later, Ali took a deep breath, her expression calming down. Although with her current strength, breathing was merely a habit. But the instinct etched in the source of life still compelled her to do so unconsciously when faced with problems.

She took out a crystal ball from her pocket, in which an image was recorded. In the picture, Richard was celebrating the success of an experiment, looking extremely happy.

The war had been going on for more than six hundred years, with the conflagration starting from the Galaxy World and almost igniting the entire starry sky.

The vast battlefront unfolded with worlds as units, as the Galaxy Mayfly opened wars in hundreds of worlds simultaneously with their immense numbers. On this frontline, every second, millions of Galaxy Mayflies turned to ashes, and simultaneously, thousands of wizards perished as well.

Under such a massive offensive, even though the Truth Council had turned the entire population into wizard apprentices, and despite the wide dissemination of soul box technology to every wizard, the wizards produced by the Wizard World barely kept up with the war’s consumption.

And with the advent of the End of Magic Era, the wizards produced by the Wizard World would soon not keep up with the demands of war.

Moreover, as the Galaxy Mayfly gradually took root in the occupied territories, their numbers did not shrink despite the intense warfare. The Galaxy Mayfly poured into the battlefield like a tide, incessantly surging forward.

In front of the swarm that filled mountains and seas, even the most resolute wizard’s will could waver.

"Richard, you truly are lucky."

Looking at the image in the crystal ball, Ali managed a strained smile at the corner of her mouth.

The high-intensity war brought about endless partings of life and death. Ali’s mentor, Susanna, perished three hundred years ago in a world named Nebula. Her mentor’s mentor, the Great Wizard of the Black Tower, also fell on the battlefield a hundred years ago.

In Ali’s impression, the friends and acquaintances she had from the Black Tower Wizard Academy who are still alive only included Wuni and Jolod.

Jolod was under the care of the Great Wizard Jialong, who is now the Physique Crown Throne, and thus continued to work on production at the rear. Wuni, on the other hand, accumulated enough merits fifty years ago and returned to the rear for the Great Wizard’s promotion.

As for the others, including several of her senior sisters, Jolod’s numerous apprentices, and the faculty of the Black Tower Wizard Academy, almost all of them died on the battlefield.

So much so that a wizard like Ali, who is barely over a thousand years old, became an experienced old wizard.

Buzz!

A huge energy wave snapped Ali out of her reminiscence. Her spiritual power, amplified rapidly by magic equipment, and in an instant, she entered battle mode.

Observing through magic equipment, Ali noticed the Galaxy Mayfly battle group dispersing and retreating in the sky.

Above them, three fully armed small floating cities descended from the sky, pouring firepower like a sprinkler.

The small floating cities, after six hundred years of evolution, had become entirely mature. Now, small floating cities had replaced war airships, becoming the largest war weapons for wizards inside worlds. And outside the Star Realm, the evolved giant Floating Fortresses were responsible for securing air supremacy for wizards.

As for those floating cities that had accompanied wizards in battles in otherworlds, they had been designated as logistics and transportation tools.

The Galaxy Mayfly had cracked the wizards’ space teleportation technology, so physical transportation had also become indispensable in the current battlefield.

"Phew, saved. Number One, bring me my drink."

The order was transmitted through the mind network, and soon, a female Wild Beastman in a black robe walked in.

"Captain, which bottle do you want?"

In the confidential incident marked as No. 0001: The Chaos of ■■, the Wild Beastmen, as wanderers, joined the Wizard Civilization and became the first vassal race of the Wizard Civilization. On the battlefield of the war between civilizations, these Wild Beastmen were the best assistants for wizards.

Although the Physique Crown Throne had already implemented the Physique Path within the wizards, his cultivation method had a major flaw, which was that it took a long time to be effective.

Thus, bloodline transformation and various physique-enhancing magic potions remained the best ways for wizards to improve their physique. But this brought about a problem; often, wizards had to merge bloodlines to acquire talents that could amplify their spells. If they wanted to rely on bloodlines to improve their physique, they would have to forgo the enhancement of their casting abilities.

This was something many wizards were unable to accept.

And the appearance of the Wild Beastmen just happened to resolve this issue for wizards.

"Bring them all. Do you know we almost died today."

Ali slumped into the chair, speaking in an ungraceful manner to her best assistant and good friend.

The war had profoundly changed wizards, at least once, Ali would never have imagined becoming friends with an Alien.

"Oh wow, long live the captain! Osmanthus Brew, here I come."
