The Wizard: From Zero-Ring Wizard to Almighty Lord.

Chapter 199 The Goddess Makes a Move
Chapter 199

The dazzling blue and white starlight suddenly descended angrily from the end of the divine power bridge!

At that moment, the sky seemed to be torn apart, and an enormous, tangible star crashed down, slamming down on the two Morning Star Wizards below!

But at that very moment, a special stream of information entered from the remote wizarding center.

It turned out that the city lord of the mechanical city wanted to communicate with the Spirit-Eyed Wizard.

The machine puppet wizard didn't seem to think much about this information and simply said it.

"Since the city lord wishes to communicate with you, then leave this to me."

The Spirit-Eyed Wizard beside him didn't waste any words either. In the next instant, his figure transformed into a pale white afterglow and quietly disappeared from the battlefield before the blue and white starlight descended.

boom!
The sky trembled, and starlight rained down.

Faced with the fall of the all-destroying divine power, the mechanical wizard clenched his fist, his expression remaining calm.

As he moved, countless machines clicked and surged out from the space around him.

One, two, ten, a hundred!
Each mechanical puppet is unique in shape, complex in structure, and precise in construction. They are wrapped in magical energy and runic lasers, exuding a terrifying peak battle intent!

The "titles" and "status" of the Morning Star Wizards are all related to the methods they are good at.

For example, the pale white eyes of the Spirit-Eyed Wizard are the reason he earned the title of Spirit-Eyed Wizard.

As the name suggests, the master of the mechanical puppet wizard is skilled in creating swarms of mechanical puppets.

As the mechanical domain unfolded, an energy vortex slowly emerged around the mechanical puppet wizard, and within its range, all mechanical puppets received a significant boost!
Their defenses are stronger, their reactions are faster, and their power is more ferocious!

The star power that was about to crash down was blocked by the mechanical puppets that rose into the air!
Steel clashes with starlight, energy surges!
Each puppet exploded upon contact as if it had self-destructed, simultaneously creating large areas of defensive light walls and magical energy barriers that layer by layer neutralized, weakened, and blocked the power of the stars!
In an instant, the area around the mechanical wizard seemed to have become the intersection of a star furnace and a mechanical torrent, with sparks and runes dancing wildly!

At this moment, Master Bed stood high in the sky, his gaze cold and his expression growing increasingly gloomy.

He didn't care that the first strike had failed.

After all, he never imagined that he could defeat two Morning Star wizards with a single move.

The reason his expression was so grim was that one of the two Morning Star Wizards had actually left.

It was obvious that these two Morning Star wizards didn't take him seriously at all, given that he controlled the artifact.

As the great battle was about to begin, a Morning Star wizard didn't even glance at him and simply left.

Clearly, in the eyes of that Morning Star Wizard, the companion he left behind was enough to deal with him, the legendary mage.

"Extremely arrogant!"

With a roar, the divine light surged once more, and the blue and white star artifact in his hand once again burst forth with destructive flames!

At the same time, the divine bridge he was riding was finally fully erected.

Accompanied by a burst of holy light, from the end of the long bridge, one after another, the goddess's followers stepped out of the void, their expressions solemn and their auras powerful!
They surged down like a tidal wave, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded the entire battle line, bringing the wizard army into their encirclement!
No further words are needed; the battle has already begun!

boom! ! !
The divine magic of the goddess's followers clashed violently with the witchcraft of the wizards in the air, and the magical energy and divine power intertwined and surged, tearing the heavens and the earth apart!

Mechanical puppets charged forward like a tidal wave, clashing fiercely with the legion of believers; missiles, star lightning, holy fire, and rune arrays burst forth in the air like fireworks!
Every second, bursts of energy and flames illuminate the sky!
The world was filled with all sorts of booming sounds as an energy storm was unleashed!

At this moment, the entire outer plane seemed to be engulfed in a hellish torrent of war.

From wizarding apprentices to Morning Star wizards, no one could remain uninvolved.

The army of followers of the Goddess of the Magic Network surged forth like an endless tide under the command of divine power, their fury boundless, as if they wanted to completely annihilate all beings that disobeyed their divine will.

They sang hymns, waved their staffs, and created a torrent of divine magic, as if the wrath of the gods had personally descended upon the mortal world!
The wizard army was not to be outdone, their spells thundering and their spiritual power boundless.

One after another, magical fortresses rose into the sky, summoned beasts roared across the heavens, and tens of thousands of mechanical puppets rampaged across the ground, forming an unbroken metal defensive line!

Rumble!
The flames of war have spread to every region, and spiritual power and divine power are intertwined and clashing!
Every breath, countless lives are lost.

Every moment, mechanical puppets explode in the flames, turning into charred remains.

Every moment, wizard apprentices are reduced to ashes under the brilliance of divine magic, and believers of the goddess fall amidst the torrents of magic and the chaotic blades of runes!

However, in this inferno of war, in a battlefield where no one should have been able to escape, there was one person who was not in this quagmire of war.

That's Lynn.

He originally disguised himself as "Fao" and hid within the magic array of the goddess of magic, moving in the blind spot of the gods' vision.

However, as the rift between the material plane and the outer plane was completely torn apart, the massive army of the mechanical city descended with overwhelming force, stirring up the heavens and the earth, and the divine array no longer needed to be maintained.

The Goddess of the Magic Network finally withdrew the divine array, throwing all her followers onto the battlefield to launch an indiscriminate all-out attack on the wizards.

Once the divine array is removed, Lynn will naturally be unable to continue hiding within it and will be forced to leave its protection.

Lynn was not the only one scattered to the outer planes; there were also other geniuses who had sought opportunities within the divine array.

Those geniuses only need to offer their devotion to the Goddess of the Magic Network in their hearts to be sent back to the divine realm.

Lynn, of course, had no piety toward the Goddess of the Magic Network, so he naturally did not return to the divine realm.

Fortunately, Astrid, who was next to Lynn, suddenly reacted.

Light patterns quietly appeared on her body, and a familiar dreamlike aura spread through the void, which was naturally "Qi"!
After being out of contact for a long time, Qi finally reconnected with Lynn and opened the passage to the Dream Space.

Thanks to this, Lynn and Astrid were able to travel through the dream space and return to War Fortress Thirteen.

This war fortress is located at the heart of the second battlefield, surrounded by a powerful protective barrier that constantly blocks the aftershocks of the battle.

Lynn, Astrid, and Keith stood in the command room at the top, looking out at the outside world through the observation instruments.

Above the sky, war raged like a sea, and an unstoppable surge of energy swept down!

At the edge of the horizon, the mechanical puppet wizard who controlled countless mechanical puppets was battling the mage Bed, who was clad in blue and white starlight and wielded a divine artifact, at the summit of the nine heavens!
The two terrifying beings, both at the Morning Star level, were like two stars colliding.

Every move he made triggered a tremendous energy hurricane, and every clash seemed to tear space apart!
Their battles have long since deviated from the conventional battlefield.

In order to avoid affecting their own side, the two chose to fight at the highest point in the sky.

There, even the air was torn apart, and the magic was chaotic like a tornado.

"The Morning Star Wizard is indeed on another level..."

Lynn looked up at the sky, his gaze fixed on the two terrifying figures locked in fierce combat, a deep sense of emotion in his voice.

"I am now a level two wizard, but I dare say that even if I break through to the level three grand wizard, I will never be able to stir up the heavens and earth, shatter the void, and make the sun and moon lose their color with just a wave of my hand like they do..."

At the edge of his vision, the high sky where the battle was taking place seemed to no longer belong to this world.

The raging torrent of spells roared like an angry dragon, and mechanical and divine power intertwined into a vortex of destruction, with space constantly being torn apart and reassembled between them.

The sky sometimes turned blood red, and sometimes pale white, as if the entire sky was reshaping order in their clash.

This is the true power of the Morning Star Wizard!
This was the first time he had truly and completely witnessed the Morning Star Wizard unleashing his full power.

The phrase "destroying the heavens and the earth" is no exaggeration.

In the endless worlds, in those primitive worlds where powerful civilizations have not yet been developed, such beings have long been regarded as "gods" and worshipped by all people.

In Lynn's eyes, ambition burned.

"One day, I will also ascend to the realm of Morning Stars and take in the scenery."

However, just as he was immersed in the shock and anticipation in his heart, a deep and clear voice suddenly broke the silence.

"On the day we met again in this plane, we made a pact."

That was Qi's voice, calm and composed, like a leaf brushing against water, yet silently stirring up ripples.

Hearing that familiar tone, Lynn turned his head slightly and saw the mysterious figure in a maple leaf-patterned robe standing not far away, with a deep gaze.

"According to the contract, I will gather the power of faith for you to restore the Spirit of the Azure Sky. Do you remember?"

Lynn's eyes narrowed slightly.

“Of course I remember.” Lynn nodded slightly, his tone steady but not without vigilance.

"So, by bringing this up now, are you finally going to tell me what exactly the so-called binding provisions in the contract are?"

Qi remained calm, his tone completely unwavering:
"You will understand the full contents of the contract yourself in the future... For now, I will only mention one of them."

He spoke casually:
"You need to fully activate the aura of the 'Azure Sky Spirit' at the right time, and release all the energy sealed within it completely."

These words stirred a ripple in Lynn's heart.

He raised an eyebrow, a thoughtful glint in his eyes, his expression turning serious, but he didn't refuse. After all, he had signed the Balance Contract, and if these contents were binding under the contract, he had no right to refuse.

However, he was somewhat worried that if the energy of the Azure Sky Spirit completely disappeared, it might have some impact on the maple tree inside...

Qi, who was standing to the side, seemed to notice the complex meaning in Lynn's eyes and surprisingly spoke up to explain.

Moreover, they weren't using the wizarding language, but rather, they had long since revived an otherworldly language to communicate with Lynn:
The scales, for us, are the most revered and sacred object, no less so than the faith of a fanatic in a god.

Therefore, I will not deceive you regarding the contents of the contract concerning the scales.

I've said before that this contract is harmless to you, and you don't need to be so wary.

Lynn remained silent for a moment, his gaze deep, as he recalled the contents of the contract.

He finally nodded slightly and responded in the same otherworldly language:
【That's good. 】

Having said that, Qi stopped talking and simply stood there quietly, gazing up at the sky above as the mechanical wizard and the mage Bedd clashed fiercely.

It was obvious that he seemed to be waiting for something.

Lynn, standing to the side, glanced at him, then turned his gaze to the sky above the battlefield, but his thoughts had already drifted far away.

In this thirteenth dimension, everyone is a pawn, whether they are the goddess's followers or the wizards.

Even those Morning Star Wizards are just pawns, albeit high-level ones.

This war was caused by a single sentence uttered by a high-ranking figure, whose purpose was to capture the avatar of the Goddess of the Magic Net.

In a sense, even the avatar of the Goddess of the Magic Network is just a pawn.

The only true players are that great figure and the goddess of magic.

As time has passed, all sorts of things have happened in the thirteenth dimension, things that neither of the two players could have foreseen.

That is, Qi, a being from a destroyed civilization, from a fragment of the [Landscape], participated in this dimensional expedition.

He completely changed the course of the entire dimensional world, ultimately seizing complete control.

As for Lynn, who formed a balance pact with Qi, although he cannot control his freedom and is also a pawn, he is somewhat different from other pawns.

He was a pawn who reaped great rewards in this interdimensional expedition and knew the entire process from beginning to end.

Now, with the goddess's resurgence, mechanical wizards have completely flooded into the outer plane.

The entire outer plane is now engulfed in a frenzy of all-out war, and all the pieces have been put into action.

Given this situation, the only one Qi can still wait for is probably that goddess of magic.

Lynn narrowed his eyes, a ripple of emotion stirring within him:
"What is he waiting for? Is he waiting for the Goddess of the Demonic Net... to truly emerge from the divine realm and descend upon the battlefield?"

That goddess of magic has reached the level of a formal deity; in other words, that's the level of a sixth-level Morning Star Wizard...

Lynn remembered back in the wizarding world, within the "Landscape" of the Dark Wizarding Territory.

Facing the fifth-level Morning Star Wizard, Aquila, it seems that Qi ultimately failed to win.

However, the Goddess of Magic is a whole realm stronger than the Eagle...

"Even with the contract in place, I'm just a pawn... How could I possibly understand the thoughts of someone who's only halfway through the game..."

Lynn shook his head, a helpless bitter smile playing on his lips. All he could do now was wait and see what Qi was up to.

....................................

In a faraway land, there lies a magnificent kingdom enveloped in boundless divine power.

The Goddess of the Magic Network's divine kingdom now encompasses almost half of the outer plane, transforming it into her domain.

It was a sacred world, like a heavenly palace, vast and eternal.

Within the divine realm, clouds and mist swirl, and countless temples stand tall against the sky, nestled beneath a heavenly dome woven with divine light, like stars fallen to earth.

Between the main halls, the power of faith flowed like a long river, like the blood of the heavens, flowing endlessly.

At that highest point, a graceful figure dressed in a long black dress stood quietly.

She was like the brightest star in the night, with long, ink-black hair and a face shrouded in divine radiance that was impossible to look directly at.

The eyes of the Goddess of the Magic Network pierced through the divine realm, gazing upon the entire outer plane and the vast war she had ignited.

Fire, magic, destruction, and faith intertwine to form a blood-red battle scene.

However, although the war was brutal, it did not go as she had hoped.

Because now her army and those wizard armies are locked in a stalemate.

Clearly, without her personal intervention, it would still be impossible to completely crush the army of wizards...

"In that case..."

Suddenly, she exhaled softly, and in that instant, the entire divine kingdom seemed to resonate with it, divine light pulsed, and the echo slowly reverberated from the top of the temple of gods.

Then, she took a step.

That step was so powerful it felt like the heavens trembled!

"boom!"

Ripples spread across the entire world in an instant, and countless divine lights emerged from the void, as if billions of stars were lit up at the same moment!

Divine light intertwined to form a rainbow bridge, extending from beneath the feet of the Goddess of the Magic Net, traversing the sky like a shooting star, pointing straight into the distance!

Her direction was none other than the front line of the fiercest battle between the wizard army and the believer army!

It was not the second battlefield where Master Bed was located, but the first battlefield where the Six Paths Divine Power Bridge had sent countless believers.

Here, a terrible war of immense scale is taking place.

The wizards' magic shone brightly, mechanical puppets advanced like a torrent of steel, the army of believers charged forward relentlessly, and mages raised their staffs high, manipulating the laws to tear the heavens and earth apart!

Above the sky, terrifying auras erupted one after another.

Each of those auras was at the level of a Morning Star Wizard.

And there were nearly twenty such individuals at a glance!
Such a large number of battles at the Morning Star level are only possible because this place is an outer plane, capable of withstanding the aftershocks of their clashes.

If this were a material plane, the heavens and earth would probably be torn apart by the aftershocks of their battle...

At this moment, all the Morning Star wizards in the wizard camp went down to the field, except for the city lord of the Mechanical City.

It's not that he doesn't want to bully the weak; now that it's a war between civilized nations, he naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to bully the weak if given the chance.

The reason he hasn't made a move is because he's currently communicating with someone.

Or rather, a transaction.

“You are indeed very honest, and you have explained in detail how you came to this plane of existence. I will have a good ‘chat’ with that mechanical wizard.”

"But aside from those things, there's some truth and some falsehood about the Goddess of the Magic Network. Under other circumstances, I would have time to analyze it slowly, but that's obviously impossible now. Are you trying to manipulate me?"

The voice of the city lord of the mechanical capital rang out calmly, carrying a hint of coldness.

On the other side, however, came the calm voice of the Spirit Eye Wizard.

"Threatening? I never expected to get anything from you. I'm just informing you. Whatever you do, I'll take action once that goddess makes her move."

At this point in their conversation, both sides suddenly paused, as if they had sensed something.

The Spirit-Eyed Wizard said:

"Let's end the conversation here. I'm sure you've sensed that divine power. I'll make my move once the other party is a sufficient distance from the divine realm. As for what you do next, that's not my concern..."

Click.

At this point, the Spirit-Eyed Wizard's voice suddenly disappeared.

The city lord of the mechanical city remained silent for a while.

But soon, an incredibly powerful spiritual force spread throughout the entire floating fortress.

Boom! ! !
As the mental energy continued to spread, deep within the mechanical fortress, the long-dormant core mainframe suddenly lit up!

A halo of light spread out, and giant gears began to rotate, the chains dragging the massive structure with a deafening roar!
