The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 967 The Battle to Protect the World of Eternal Darkness (End)
After integrating dimensions into his body, Richard never stopped developing and researching his own body. The dimensional life core that exists in every cell dimension is the most important part of his research.

This dimensional life core, in his and the Titan King's deductions, should have been insignificant. But the abilities it actually displayed revealed that it was something important.

Prior to this, the overall increase in cell dimensions caused some changes in them.

However, that anomaly was extremely minor. To make it observable, a massive amount of dimensional power would be required.

Richard was in a hurry to reach the Eye Demon civilization, so he did not further absorb and develop it.

But now it seems that these core elements are not only related to the development at the cellular level, but also to Richard's soul.

Noticing the unusual movement in his body, Richard didn't know what it would bring, but he could feel the dimensional power flowing through his body faster.

"I should have thought of that sooner," Richard murmured to himself.

His dimension is closely related to his soul, and now that the dimension has entered his body, it will inevitably form an even closer connection with his soul.

The civilization devourer's clone also noticed Richard's unusual behavior.

In an instant, dozens of dimensional gates appeared in the void, and behind each dimensional gate was a weapon that could dominate.

Although the Civilization Devourer didn't know what Richard was doing, it was certain that the energy fluctuations around Richard were increasing.

The clones watched all this with almost cold indifference, recording Richard's situation while organizing attacks with machine-like precision.

Under their control, the supernatural gravity transformed into a massive gravity well, trapping Richard firmly in place. Furthermore, they disrupted the distribution of gravity within the well; any ordinary ruler, even one with a body that had broken through limits, would have been torn to shreds.

But Richard only showed slight signs of being pulled.

hum!
Behind the dimensional gate, dozens of attacks landed on Richard almost simultaneously.

Each of these attacks was incredibly powerful, and each one was extremely valuable. If measured using the Wizarding Alliance's commodity prices, this salvo was equivalent to launching a medium-sized world.

The strange phenomena brought about by the attack lingered in the void for a long time: flashes of light, flames, cursed creatures summoned by mysterious forces... Richard's figure was almost completely engulfed.

But the next moment, all of these things shattered.

"That's it, that's it."

Richard stood still, the dimensional power emanating from him fluctuating extremely unstablely, like a volcano about to erupt.

"After integrating dimensions into the physical body, the dimensions combined with the bloodline to form a completely new bloodline, a bloodline that transcends the code of life. However, because my soul has not broken through the limits, it cannot change at will like a soul that has broken through the limits, so a soul mismatch occurred, which is why my combat power is so mediocre."

Li Kan looked at the clone of the civilization devourer, and his mountain-like body appeared in front of the clone almost instantly.

"As long as my soul structure changes, the power of this body will be opened to me."

boom!
With a deafening roar, Richard simply threw a punch, shattering the civilization devourer's clone to pieces. Its entire body, along with its soul, disintegrated in that single blow.

It moved so fast that the other two clones didn't even have time to react to their attacks.

Richard looked at one of the clones again; the aura emanating from him had weakened considerably after he threw that punch.

However, this did not diminish Richard's imposing presence.

He stood in the void, as if at the center of the entire endless dimension.

If I had to describe it in one sentence, it would be: I am the only one who reigns supreme in heaven and on earth.

This sudden change caught the civilization devourer somewhat off guard. Although it knew many ways to enhance combat power in a short time, its database never contained any secret technique that could allow a Limitless Overlord to instantly unleash combat power close to that of a Leader Overlord.

Neither the previous civilization alliance nor civilizations older than the previous one possessed such incredible technology.

However, not being able to understand does not prevent Him from making a decision.

The next moment, the civilization devourer made the most correct decision—

run!
Although Richard's aura was weak, no one could guarantee that he could throw another punch. His Limit-Breaking clones were precious units, and he couldn't afford to waste them so easily.

Fight if you can win, run if you can't.

In terms of avoiding sunk costs from major decisions, the civilization devourers have taken it to the extreme.

As Richard watched the disappearing civilization devourer clone vanish, his previously listless aura vanished instantly.

"How cautious."

Looking at the vanished avatar of the Civilization Devourer, Li felt a slight pang of regret. If the Civilization Devourer had been able to entangle with him for a while, he could have killed another one.

The change in his soul structure unleashed his potential. However, this was not entirely a good thing for Richard.

The listlessness emanating from him was not a disguise; that punch had genuinely depleted a significant amount of his dimensional power.

It almost completely drained his reserves of dimensional power.

If he wants to continue fighting, he will have to extract dimensional power from the cellular dimension.

"Alas, the power of dimensions is too little," Richard lamented inwardly. "If I had ten thousand years to accumulate the power of dimensions, I'm afraid I could launch a counterattack right now."

Composing himself, Richard then opened a dimensional portal behind him.

But this dimensional gate does not lead to the eternally dark world.

Dimensional interference prevented him from accurately locating in the Eternal Darkness World. He had to go to the Eye Demon Dimension to stabilize it before he could use it to enter the Eternal Darkness World.

He didn't know how long this process would take, but now that he had gained the upper hand, the civilization devourers on the lower battlefield should withdraw. World fortresses were quite labor-intensive to build, and if he destroyed them all, even the civilization devourers would have to spend some time rebuilding them.

……

A jet-black, spindle-shaped cannonball fell from the sky and landed precisely on the top floor of an Eye Demon Fortress.

The next moment, the shell exploded, and the entire spatial structure of the Eye Demon Fortress was instantly destroyed. The spatial anchors used to stabilize the spatial structure were nothing more than psychological comfort in the face of the destructive weapon.

In an instant, the shattered space sliced ​​through all the beholder guards inside the fortress, and even the beholder world lord who remained inside had half his body severed.

Boom!

The massive fortress collapsed with a deafening roar, and purple blood mist mixed with dust drifted in the air like the breath of death.

Beneath the ruins of the fortress, the Lord of the Eye Demon World numbly reported the data; he had witnessed this scene more than once in recent days.

"Command post, command post, Fort No. 45 has been destroyed by the enemy, the remaining garrison... is one person."

"Command has received your order. Please move to a new position immediately."

"...I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't carry out this order."

The Lord of the Eye Demon World looked up at the sky above the ruins, where three Furnace Warriors had already arrived above his head.

“I am Morenko of the Purple Eyes Clan. Tell my father, Old Morenko, that I have not disgraced him.”

sizzle...

Communication ends.

The communications officer at the command post wrote down Mollenko's last words. Suddenly, his tentacles paused, and he began searching through the documents beside him.

Soon, a document from three hours prior appeared before his eyes.

[Fortress 50 was hit by a devastating weapon, and Legion Commander Old Morenko was killed.]

"Karen? Are you spacing out?"

"No, I'm just organizing the data."

Buzz-buzz-

A piercing buzzing sound rang out in the command center, a warning of a devastating weapon strike.

The communications officers skillfully carried their equipment into the refugee cabin, but this attack seemed to have exceeded their expectations.

boom!
A blinding white light descended from the sky, instantly obliterating the war zone command post and the Eye Demon commander within it.

On the earth, wherever the white light passed, there was only a bottomless abyss.

In the astral plane, the world fortress, which had been silent for four months, finally spoke its first note.

……

"World Fortress has attacked."

In the general command headquarters, battle reports from various war zones came one after another like snowflakes. The commanders of the Wizard Alliance looked at the intelligence from the front lines, and each of them remained silent.

"The World Fortress attack... this is somewhat unexpected," said the Abyss Demon Commander.

According to the estimates of the Wizard Alliance commanders, the attack on the World Fortress should take place a quarter of the way after the world has fallen.

Because once a quarter of the world has fallen, the world's will will be weakened. At that time, the guardians of the Eternal Dark World will no longer be able to use the power of the world's origin to threaten the world fortress.

But right now, the civilization devourers have only occupied one-fifth of the territory, still some distance from their estimated threshold.

This was completely beyond their expectations.

"No, this is not a prelude to an attack!"

Upon seeing the new battle report, the wizard commander's eyes widened suddenly.

"He's not attacking, he's retreating! This guy is eliminating obstacles to future wars. Look at this battle report."

The commanders extended their spiritual energy, and after reading the battle report, they instantly understood why the wizard commander had said those words.

The battle report came from their rear, and it described the destruction of the fortress.

Although the Eternal Dark World did not have air superiority in this war, the World Guardians constantly moved within the World Barrier, hindering the airborne attacks of the Civilization Devourers.

Therefore, the civilization devourers did not carry out a systematic airborne attack behind enemy lines; they merely deployed some fake legions to distract the world guardians.

"The governor has won the war at the top! Immediately notify all fortress personnel to evacuate the fortress."

"Now we must break up our forces into smaller units and minimize our losses!" the wizard commander shouted.

“Governor? Why not a Beholder?” a Beholder commander asked.

"My friends, you were saved by the Archon last time," the wizard commander said with a smile. "Do you think your elders could defeat the avatar of the Civilization Devourer in just over a year?"
