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

Chapter 201 Darkness Comes
Chapter 201

The scales slowly emerged from the void, radiating a dense golden light, as if forged from the core of a star.

It is dazzling and magnificent, yet not extravagant.

That radiance was not created for decoration, but was essentially a symbol of divinity.

It floats silently high in the sky, as immovable as a mountain, yet it seems to uphold the highest measure of heaven and earth.

The slight tremor at both ends of the scales released not just simple pressure, but a concept of equality that even the gods could not defy.

Even gods must bow their heads before this celestial plane.

At this moment, the goddess of the magic net, who was engulfed by the green divine light, seemed to be frozen in place, her body bound by invisible chains, unable to move an inch.

Dense green light clung to her fair skin like vines, exuding a mysterious and profound natural rhythm that completely pinned her to the void.

Her usually calm and beautiful eyes were now filled with turbulent emotions as she stared at the radiant golden scales, as if she were lost in some ancient memory.

Her red lips parted slightly, and she slowly uttered a name so heavy it sent chills down one's spine:
"The Eternal and Supreme Scales..."

At that moment, the entire world seemed to pause for a split second for those few words.

She will never forget that name.

No, exactly.

The entire civilization of gods could never forget the existence of this golden scale.

Once, in those distant years almost lost in the torrent of time, the Kingdom of Heaven collided with another mysterious and rapidly rising civilization in the depths of endless planes.

It was a war of civilizations that shook the world. All the gods, from top to bottom, were full of confidence, believing that it was just another war of civilizations like any other.

The outcome will be no different from before: the civilization of gods will ultimately prevail, and the Kingdom of Heaven will devour that civilized world.

Even if a few official deities are lost in the process, it is merely a part of the blood tax.

however……

When the dust settled after that battle, the kingdom and the heavens trembled, and the gods were enraged.

Because the final result of that war was the fall of a supreme god!

And what caused all of this was that golden scale that has now reappeared in the world.

In the memories of all those who witnessed it, it shone with golden light, traversed the void, crossed the galaxy, and directly pierced through the divine body of that chief god.

Her divine essence shattered, her divine fire extinguished, and she fell like a mortal before the gods.

That supreme god, with an extremely special status, wielded the dual authority over life and nature, and should have been a symbol of immortality and eternal existence.

Yet this being was utterly destroyed by the creation of "that weak civilization"!

In the post-war pantheon, the throne that once belonged to the goddess of life and nature was reduced to ruins, leaving an unhealable wound and shame in the civilization of the gods.

From that day on, all the gods held the golden scales in awe, and even offered it the divine title of "Eternal Supreme".

But even though the golden scales were incredibly terrifying, the war eventually came to an end.

The gods, with their profound civilization, finally destroyed that mysterious civilization completely after paying a heavy price, uprooting it entirely.

Civilization collapsed, the earth crumbled, and the entire plane was suppressed by dimensional reduction, turning into dust that would never recover.

The fate of that civilization was even more tragic.

They were condemned by the divine civilization as beings of "unforgivable sin".

Ultimately, all the remnants were compressed into a cold, impersonal landscape, which hung high above the Pantheon for the future gods to behold.

It is both a humiliation and a warning.

It is also the most profound warning to the civilization of the gods themselves: in the endless planes, never underestimate your enemy.

As for that golden scale... it mysteriously disappeared after the great battle, as if it had never existed.

No matter how many gods joined forces to search, or how much divine power they expended to track them, they were unable to find even the slightest trace.

Now, it has reappeared.

He appeared before her.

The goddess of magic's beautiful eyes finally lost their usual calm and tranquility, and were now filled with intense ripples.

Even if she is just an avatar, a projection formed by divine thought, even if this avatar is erased, it will not cause the slightest disturbance to her true self.

However, the golden scales that reappeared from the void shook her mind like never before.

It's not because of the oppressive power of the scales themselves, but because of the ancient, chilling ultimate possibility they represent.

This is a threat that even gods at the highest level cannot ignore.

This is something that even the Pantheon was powerless to deal with.

"The Eternal and Supreme Scales..."

This is not just a name, but the beginning of a shameful history, an indelible mark etched deep in the memory of the civilization of gods.

Even though the civilizations of gods stand at the pinnacle of endless planes, they remain unshaken.

The Kingdom of Heaven is a colossal divine kingdom that has been expanding and devouring other worlds for countless eons, yet they have never underestimated that golden scale.

On the contrary, all the gods held an almost instinctive fear of it.

There once was a deity who knew cause and effect and the future, and made a prophecy at the cost of his own divinity:

"In the future, the civilization of gods will be destroyed by the master behind the scales."

This statement was engraved on a prophetic stone tablet deep within the Pantheon, and no one dared to delete it or question it.

Therefore, when the golden, gleaming, and majestic scales reappeared before her eyes, the goddess of magic could hardly remain calm.

She finally understood.

“…No wonder Chantia’s divinity has never been restored…” she murmured, her voice filled with an indescribable apprehension and shock, “So…it’s related to it…”

Her divine eyes were fixed on the depths of the scales, on that illusory yet real divine light, swirling with a rich life force—an aura she knew all too well, the aura of Shangtia.

That was the core of authority belonging to life and nature, a divine imprint that should have perished in the Pantheon long ago, yet it was now flowing continuously into the magical network she controlled.

At this moment, the Goddess of the Magic Network is merely an avatar. Even if she dies, it will not affect the real body, nor will it affect the authority of the Magic Network.

Because the authority she currently holds over the magic network is only a small portion of the power of the Heavenly Universe Magic Network.

However, there is a connection between the two.

In other words, the lush life force, after entering her magical network authority, did not disappear, but rather entered a more distant realm in the heavens.

That lush life force entered the true magic net within the kingdom's heavens!

"The magic network spans the entire kingdom and the heavens... He wants the aura of Shangtia to enter it but not cause any real damage, at most making Shangtia's aura known to the public... He wants others to know that Shangtia is not dead!"

As the home of the civilization of gods, the Kingdom of Heaven is home to all the gods. The death of Shantia and the loss of the authority over life affected all the gods.

Therefore, all the gods in the heavens and kingdoms are quite concerned about the aura of Santia.

However, if one had to rank them, then among the many eternal and immortal gods, the goddess of darkness, Shar, would definitely be the one who cared the most.

After all, in that ancient war of civilizations, the dark goddess Shar fought her way to the front, but in the end, it was the more important goddess of life and nature, Sentia, who fell.

Therefore, after the war of civilizations, the goddess of darkness, Shar, was naturally questioned by the other chief gods.

However, which of the main gods can do anything to the other?
Ultimately, the Pantheon could not thoroughly investigate the Dark Goddess Shar. However, in the process, the Pantheon was certain that the death of Chantia was inextricably linked to the Dark Goddess Shar!

He could even be considered the prime suspect!

Therefore, as Shantia's aura entered the magic network, and as the magic network spread throughout the entire kingdom's sky, these auras gradually revealed themselves...

"You want to find the Dark Goddess Shar?!"

The voice of the goddess of magic suddenly deepened, and she looked sharply at the person standing beside the golden scales.

At this moment, Qi Zheng stood quietly on the side of the scale, his maple-colored robe fluttering in the still air.

His aura mingled and intertwined with the golden radiance of the scales.

He finally spoke.

The voice was not the language of a wizard, nor the ancient language of his civilization, but the divine language of the orthodox civilization of gods, ancient, profound, and imbued with divine resonance.

This is not surprising—after all, the civilization he represented once fought a direct war against the civilization of gods.

It's normal to know the enemy's language.

Qi chuckled softly, but his laughter was chilling: "The Goddess of Darkness, Shar... is truly renowned."

His tone was calm, but his words were sharp and cutting.
"When she descended upon our world, the Abyss of Darkness opened in the heavens, the sea of ​​stars surged, and chaos churned... On that day, countless beings of our civilization wailed in the darkness, blood flowed like rivers, and mountains of corpses formed the throne of God..."

"Of course I want to find her." Qi's eyes burned like flames, his voice suddenly rising several octaves, almost filled with tearing hatred:

"I wish I could smash this sacred relic of civilization with my own hands, just to make this so-called 'goddess' vanish into thin air!"

His anger surged like a tidal wave, his tone rose, his words became fierce, and his emotions fluctuated violently.

The goddess of magic frowned slightly.

Qi realized he had lost control, took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his gaze had returned to calm.

"Unfortunately... we ultimately failed to kill her."

"What died was another chief god. But... this time, I finally have the chance to make amends for everything in the past."

He gazed at the divine ripples dancing on the scales and said softly:
"You are currently confronting an equally powerful civilization, the Wizarding Civilization, and a supreme god has actually forced his way into this world... tsk tsk."

As soon as she finished speaking, a cold glint flashed in the beautiful eyes of the Goddess of Magic, and an extremely suppressed killing intent surged around her.

She certainly understood what this meant.

The wizard civilization, a terrifying existence that has always prevented the civilizations of gods from easily initiating wars.

At first glance, the gods of the kingdom and the heavens believed that this was just another powerful civilization that had not yet been conquered, and that once swallowed, it would bring unparalleled growth.

But as the conflict deepened, the gods gradually realized that they were not facing a "powerful" enemy, but a system of beings of equal or even greater power than themselves.

It was a civilizational life form completely different from theirs, yet equally at the top.

They excel at analyzing rules and knowledge, calculating and reconstructing spacetime, and dismantling and rewriting alchemy, the soul, truth, consciousness, and the origin of the universe...

From that moment on, the gods' term for them quietly changed from "enemy" to "fear".

Even in the records of the Pantheon's High Council, the wizarding civilization is labeled as:

"Targets that are not recommended for proactive provocation are extremely difficult to conquer and have the potential to cause 'fundamental structural destruction' to the civilization of gods."

Therefore, even though thousands of years have passed and there have been constant frictions and conflicts between them, it has never developed into a true "total war".

The strongest battles are nothing more than a contest between a level six Morning Star Wizard and an ordinary god.

If what this person says is true, then a supreme god has quietly crossed the boundaries of the rules and entered this world...

That would mean the entire game would completely collapse!
Once the news reaches the wizarding civilization, they will certainly not stand idly by.

At that time, a terrifying entity of equal caliber will surely emerge to respond.

That would be a shock powerful enough to destroy the balance of civilizations.

Once it escalates into a full-scale war, even if the Goddess of the Magic Network is located in the deepest part of the kingdom's heavens, she will not be able to escape the aftermath of the war.

Moreover, she knew very well that within the wizarding civilization, there existed terrifying beings capable of penetrating the rules and deconstructing divinity in reverse.

The face of the goddess of magic slowly darkened under the golden light flowing across the scales.

She spoke softly, her voice cold, her tone carrying a forced sense of skepticism:
“The Goddess of Darkness, Shar… even if she is arrogant, she is not stupid. She… knows to some extent the horrors of wizarding civilization, how could she easily fall into your trap?”

However, Qi merely glanced at her indifferently.

“She will come,” he said calmly. “She will not stop once she has personally experienced the power of the Golden Scales.”

Once you've taken control, you can never let go.

He spoke slowly, a look of certainty in his eyes.

“She wants more, she wants it all… As long as that desire exists, she will come. No matter the cost.”

Qi slightly raised his head, gazing at the flowing golden light in the sky:

"Even if the price is war between two great civilizations, and endless planes are engulfed in flames of war... she will not hesitate. As long as the balance can be restored... she will come."

He paused, a mocking smile playing at the corners of his lips:
"Perhaps she even fantasizes about using this to comprehend the origin of the scales... to break through the shackles of the main god and step into a level above the main god."

Hearing Qi's words, the goddess of magic finally changed her expression completely.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with turbulent emotions, her expression was extremely solemn, and she was deeply shocked.

The goddess of darkness, Shar... just how many secrets does she hide?
She not only killed the goddess of life and nature, Samtia, but also... took control of a part of the golden scales?

So many gods failed to gain anything back then, but the dark goddess Shar managed to control a portion of the scales?

And this golden scale is of extremely high status, and it is indeed possible that it can guide to a level above the main god.

For every supreme god, the levels above the supreme god are the greatest attraction, something they would be willing to pay with their lives...

Completing the golden scales will obviously be of greater help in exploring levels above the main god!
If that's the case, what she would do for the sake of something beyond the level of a supreme god is self-evident...

After all, this supreme god's sense of identification with the kingdom of the heavens has never been very high.

And just then.

Suddenly, the world turned cold and dark, as if night had fallen!
The sky, as if dyed with ink, suddenly darkened, and a suffocatingly cold aura rose in the air.

The goddess of magic suddenly focused her gaze and turned sharply to look behind her.

Within her divine authority, the magical network constructed from countless divine arts is now violently trembling!
Dark fluctuations, one after another, surged forth from the depths of authority like a raging torrent—that was Shar's aura!

"Look," Qi's voice rang out softly, tinged with a hint of pleasure and sarcasm, "she's here."

It seemed like everything was under his control.

The golden scales still hung in the air, radiating a magnificent and boundless brilliance, and under this brilliance, the green aura began to gradually dim.

The "Azure Spirit" that once bound the Goddess of the Magic Net, even with the amplification of the scales unleashing its ultimate divine power, is now gradually being exhausted.

The green divine chains crumbled little by little, the divine power returned to the void, and at this moment, the Goddess of the Magic Network slowly regained her divine sovereignty.

However, she has not fully recovered.

Qi Yi flicked his maple-leaf-colored robe, the maple leaves swirling around his body as he disappeared with the golden scales.
