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

Chapter 200 The Balance and the Magic Net

Chapter 200
On the second battlefield, a fierce wind howled and magical forces intertwined as the battle between the mage Bed and the mechanical wizard continued.

Two powerful beings at the Morning Star level traversed the sky, unleashing energy as devastating as falling stars, causing the heavens and earth to sway and tilt during their clash.

Its fluctuations were so strong that they obscured everything, making the war between the wizards and believers below seem like nothing more than rolling dust, a blurry backdrop.

However, at this moment.

Suddenly, a completely different wave radiated out from the void high in the sky!

It is not as violent and powerful as the Morning Star Wizard, but rather sacred, solemn, and inviolable.

Even the vast, ocean-like aftershocks of magic were instantly annihilated by this fluctuation, like snowflakes encountering the blazing sun, unable to even be concealed.

That wave descended from the heavens, as if projected from a higher plane, or even the pinnacle of the divine realm.

Divine power descended to the mortal realm like an invisible divine chain, and the entire world seemed to be shrouded in an invisible pressure.

In an instant, countless eyes were drawn up to look.

Wizards, believers, war puppets... especially the group of goddess believers, all stopped what they were doing, looked up at the sky, and their eyes showed fanaticism and pilgrimage-like piety.

Even the mage Bed, who was engaged in combat, was taken aback.

He raised his head and looked towards the end of the void. In the hazy light, he seemed to see a majestic figure slowly extending a divine hand.

"That's... the aura of the Goddess of Magic... even more terrifying than before..."

Even though Lynn was in the heavily fortified war fortress, he could clearly feel the flow of divine power from afar.

Like a boiling, radiant torrent, it rolled in along the sky, covering everything!
Previously, when he and Qi ventured deep behind enemy lines and entered the Seven Star Temple of the Mage Bed, they were pursued by the Goddess of the Magic Net.

At that time, she was already an incredibly powerful and irresistible presence.

But compared to now, it still seems insignificant.

It was clear that the goddess had only been forcibly awakened at that time and had not regained her full divine power.

But things are different now!
She has refined most of the outer plane into an extension of her divine kingdom. The convergence of boundless faith power and the authority of rules has allowed her to truly reach the pinnacle!
She has firmly established herself as a formal deity!

The magnificent figure high in the sky has not yet truly appeared, but its boundless divine power, as if the sky were collapsing, is becoming increasingly intense, almost solidifying, shaking heaven and earth!
All of this indicates that the Goddess of the Magic Network is slowly descending upon the battlefield!

However, Lynn had a vague feeling that if she were to actually make a move, her target would probably not be the second battlefield here.

“She’s more likely to go to the first battlefield, which is where the core is.” Lynn murmured, his gaze calm.

After all, given the current power of the Goddess of the Magic Network, it would be overkill to use her abilities for this mere second battlefield.

Before he could finish his thoughts, a voice came from beside him.

"Get ready, I'll have her contact you in a bit..."

Wearing a maple leaf robe, Qi pointed to Astrid, who was standing next to Lynn, and spoke calmly.

The next instant, his figure vanished silently like a leaf falling in the wind, as if he had never existed.

Above the sky, the battle between the mage Bed and the puppet wizard continued unabated, with massive magic arrays and war machines clashing and fighting, but Qi was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing this, Lynn knew that Qi must have gone to find the real goddess.

"Now... I can revert to my true identity."

A faint green light appeared on Fao's forehead, flickering like a flame in the night.

Now that he no longer needed to pretend to be Fao, he naturally wouldn't miss the precious memories contained within this body.

That is the accumulation of chivalry, the crystallization of the experience of believers in the gods, and a method for gaining a deeper understanding of the civilization of the gods.

Previously, they dared not act rashly for fear of exposing their identities, but now they have no more worries.

Lynn closed his eyes, his mind sank into his body, and the power of Ifgrid quietly awakened.

One after another, dark green tree roots spread out from beneath his feet, slithering like snakes into the still-fragile bubbles of memories, swift and precise, forcibly extracting them without hesitation.

"The knight's combat skills, the method of manipulating divine power, archery, movement techniques, sword intent... as well as battlefield tactics, worship of the goddess... none of these can be wasted."

In those ten seconds or so, a silent engulfment was quietly completed.

Fao's body slowly disintegrated in the green light, turning into ashes.

In the same spot, a verdant tree, seemingly rising from the depths of the earth, stands tall, its branches and leaves swaying and its veins intricate, like a tree of wisdom that has borne witness to a thousand years.

The next moment, Lynn's figure slowly stepped out from the tree trunk, his robes fluttering without wind, his expression calm and stern.

He raised his hand to brush his brow, and suddenly his expression changed.

"Hmm? This is... a mark?"

A hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.

He could sense that it was a spiritual mark left on him after Fao's death, subtle and ancient.

"It seems that Master Fao has already realized that his disciple has completely perished..."

He frowned slightly, but showed no sign of panic.

At this moment, the wizard army and the goddess army have fully engaged in battle on the battlefield, with banners fluttering, magical light soaring into the sky, and wailing echoing across the earth.

Even if Cindy, the leader of the mysterious Fire Knights, already knew the truth, there was absolutely no way she could spare the time to investigate the death of a missing disciple at such a critical moment.

Lynn stood in the highest command room of the war fortress, in front of a crystal-clear observation wall, from which he could clearly see all aspects of the external battle situation.

His gaze moved slowly, first sweeping across the sky, where the battle between the mage Bed and the machine puppet wizard was still earth-shattering.

The clash of powers between the two Morning Star experts nearly tore the sky apart, causing the void to tremble like thunder.

On the earth, countless armies of wizards and goddess believers were locked in a fierce battle, their battle lines intertwined and blood and fire mingling.

The mechanical wizard controlled a densely packed army of puppets, advancing like an impregnable fortress.

Various spells rained down, causing explosions and roars among the enemies.

He saw a mechanical wizard commanding a massive, self-destructing golem to charge towards the enemy.

However, it was reflected back by a high-level mage's spell and exploded right in their own formation, the explosive flames engulfing more than ten mechanical wizards.

"It was too tragic..."

Lynn's gaze turned serious, a ripple of emotion stirring within him.

This level of direct conflict transcends conventional warfare and is incomparable to the Crucible Wars he had previously participated in.

"First-level wizards... indeed, they constitute the largest basic force below... while second-level wizards are mostly squad leaders and tactical commanders, and as for third-level grand wizards, although they are rare, they dare not venture deep into the heart of the battlefield."

He sighed slightly.

Even a high-ranking, powerful, and magically strong level three wizard is nothing more than a turtle in a jar once he is caught in the core area where thousands of spells converge.

After all, as long as one hasn't stepped into the powerful domain of the Morning Star Wizard, a complete "qualitative change" hasn't occurred, and the accumulation of power brought about by sheer numbers cannot be ignored...

"Even if I am now a level two wizard and can serve as an officer, I could still perish at any time in this hellish battlefield... If I were to go up there, whether I could survive would really depend on luck."

Lynn wasn't being self-deprecating; rather, she had a clear understanding of the situation.

"The battlefield is truly a meat grinder. Unless I advance to the Morning Star Wizard level, I never want to stay on the battlefield again..."

Lynn recalled that since he came into this world, the scenes of war had never stopped.

When I first stayed in the Spirit Eye Forge, the various wars it waged were certainly not as brutal and terrifying as they are now.

But Lynn was also very weak at that time, merely an apprentice, and the Crucible War was enough to have a significant impact on his life.

Even though he has now broken through to the mid-stage of a level two wizard, he is not qualified to maintain absolute safety in a war of this magnitude.

Even the Morning Star Wizard wouldn't dare say that...

Lynn watched the battle between the mechanical wizard and the mage Bedd above; neither side could gain the upper hand, and they were locked in a stalemate...

Just then, Astrid spoke. "Master, please prepare yourself..."

Upon hearing this, Lynn raised an eyebrow. It seemed that Qi was about to take action.
With this thought in mind, Lynn clasped his hands to his chest, a faint green light appearing and disappearing, the Azure Sky Spirit ready at any moment.

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

Meanwhile, on the other side of the outer plane, intense fluctuations of divine power quietly emerged.

The great goddess of magic slowly emerged from the depths of the divine realm, and the boundless, vast divine domain, shining like a woven web of stars, silently closed behind her.

Her figure, like a ray of holy light condensed from the void, traversed the air, heading straight for the first battlefield.

With a flick of her wrist, divine light surged from her palm, and a long bridge formed by seven-colored divine power resembled a rainbow piercing through the plane.

Extending from the divine realm, it traverses millions of miles of void, heading straight to the distant battlefield front.

Her figure stood gracefully on the divine bridge, surrounded by a vast divine radiance that illuminated the entire desolate outer space.

The surroundings are a dazzling, multi-dimensional illusion, like a dream, that dazzles and captivates the eye.

The goddess of magic had eyes as deep as the night sea, without the slightest emotional fluctuation. Even as she was about to face many enemy gods, her expression remained indifferent as ice.

However, just as she was about to step onto the battlefield, she suddenly frowned, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

With a gentle wave of her jade hand, the ever-flowing divine power bridge suddenly stopped, as if frozen in mid-air.

The next moment, the space in front of them distorted, rippling out like golden waves, and a ray of light emerged from nothingness, gradually condensing into shape.

A tall figure slowly stepped out.

He wore a long robe with maple leaf patterns, his figure was tall and aloof, but his face kept changing, as if shrouded in a layer of illusion, making it impossible to capture his true appearance.

Only those calm and profound eyes seemed to be able to see through the hearts of the gods.

This figure was naturally Qi.

Faced with the oppressive aura of the sixth-level Morning Star Wizard, the Goddess of Magic, even a fourth-level Morning Star Wizard would tremble and find it difficult to maintain composure under her divine radiance.

However, Qi remained as calm as an ancient maple tree in a maple forest, with a faint red maple shadow swirling around him.

Each fallen leaf is like a divine barrier, gently dissolving the oppressive feeling of the gods, as if the world around him has become gentler.

The goddess of magic flickered her beautiful eyes, revealing a hint of surprise for the first time.

She was not annoyed that her aura had been blocked; instead, she fell into deep thought because of the certain aura of the person in front of her.

It was a taste that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

She gazed at Qi, her red lips slightly parted, her voice like a heavenly whisper, yet containing a sacred divinity:
“You have the scent of Shantia on you.”

Her voice held no doubt, but rather a firm affirmation, confirming that she had sensed the presence of the goddess of nature and life.

"It seems that the person I've been looking for is you."

Although she spoke in the ancient language of the divine civilization, with the blessing of divine power, even those who did not understand the language could understand its meaning.

The Goddess of the Magic Network went to great lengths to find this person, but she never expected that this person would appear in front of her on their own initiative.

Back in the material plane, the Goddess of the Magic Network chased after this person for a long time but couldn't catch up.

But now the other party has actually appeared in front of her on his own initiative?
"You've shown yourself...is it because you want to hand over Santia's things?"

Her voice was calm, and she did not take action immediately. Instead, she was interested in talking to Qi.

However, at that moment, the figure in the maple leaf robe suddenly trembled slightly.

As if unable to withstand the oppressive power of the deity, his body trembled slightly involuntarily.

The goddess of magic had eyes as sharp as knives, and she intended to capture a hint of fear within them.

But she immediately sensed something was wrong; it wasn't fear.

That slight tremor was clearly... an undisguised excitement!

He was excited... ecstatic!

Qi, who controlled the body of the maple tree, was now overwhelmed with a surge of ecstatic joy.

He never imagined that he could get to this point so smoothly—all the plans and schemes were now progressing smoothly, like precise gears, one after another, without a single mistake.

He dared not utter a single word.

He was afraid of being exposed, afraid that even the slightest careless tone or manner of his voice would reveal his identity and shatter this meticulously planned scheme.

The goddess of magic, who shines like a star opposite you, is the supreme deity from a distant civilization of gods.

She did not participate in the war that destroyed the old era of civilization, or rather, she was involved, but the one standing at the end of the battlefield was not the one before her, but the previous two goddesses of the magic network.

The person before you is the third successor, the one whose divine status has been passed down to this day.

"breathe……"

Qi took a deep breath, his figure beneath the maple leaf robe trembling slightly in the golden light, not out of fear, but out of uncontrollable excitement.

boom!
Behind him, a golden light suddenly rose up, appearing like a blazing sun and illuminating the entire outer space.

Meanwhile, on the distant second battlefield, a strange and awe-inspiring green divine light shone between heaven and earth!

That ray of green was not light in the ordinary sense, but rather the essence of life concentrated to its extreme, like the first rumble of spring thunder, awakening the earth and illuminating all the dead corners in an instant.

Even across the vast starry sky, the Goddess of the Magic Network could clearly sense that terrifying fluctuation that made one's heart tremble!
Her expression, which had been calm and serene, suddenly changed drastically.

"Santia's divine power?! You actually did this to...create an opportunity for him!"

Her eyes narrowed sharply, and in the next instant, her divine power erupted.

The wrath of this deity surged forth like a raging tide!

Boom!

Behind her, countless fine, spiderweb-like lines of magic web emerged from the void, spreading out one after another, densely packed, as if the entire world had been transformed into a kingdom of magic webs.

Each magic net seems to be imprinted with the laws of rules and order, forming an invisible net that covers the sky and the sun.

At the very core of that boundless demonic network, the phantom of an authority quietly emerged.

That is a projection of the Magic Network's authority. Although it is not the true body, it is connected to the real authority and is an extension of it. It is one of the foundations of the entire Magic Network's divine office!

However, right now.

At that moment, Qi suddenly raised his right hand.

He said nothing, he simply waved his hand lightly.

hum!
A golden, gleaming scale quietly appeared between heaven and earth.

It makes no sound, yet it is more impactful than thunder; it has no weight, yet it seems to measure the most untouchable balance and destiny in the universe!

The scales sank slowly, one end emitting a warm, green light like newly sprouted leaves;

Meanwhile, the green color suddenly surged and expanded, extending infinitely like a tide devouring the Milky Way, eventually transforming into a mighty torrent that rushed straight toward the Goddess of the Magic Network!

"boom!"

The light abruptly froze the figure of the Goddess of the Magic Net, trapping her firmly in mid-air, unable to move like a statue.

The surging green divine light crashed down on the magical net authority behind her like a raging tidal wave!
She couldn't move, but she finally understood.

"The Supreme and Eternal Scales... So that's how it is..."

The moment the goddess of magic saw the golden scales, she understood everything completely.

However, she knew that it was too late for her to realize this, as the figure in front of her had been waiting for her to expose the power of the magic network.

Now that the power of the Magic Network has been exposed, the other party's plan is complete.
