Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 705 Second Ring Magic: Starlight Projection
Let's go back five minutes.

Wizard Smith discovered that the Emperor's magical pressure had returned to its peak, and the restoration of the total magical pressure reserves within the Empire and the Mind Network, along with the return of national confidence, led to a further upward trend in the total magical pressure within the Mind Network.

He immediately used the ultimate magic, Celestial Meteor, to launch a meteorite into the imperial hall of the rebellious province.

The meteorite broke through numerous obstacles and fell directly in front of the emperor.

Then, the Wizard Smith used the immense magic, Meteor from Outer Space, to project the star power onto the palace floor, creating a star power clone of himself.

Second Ring Magic: Starlight Projection!

This spell model is based on the power of stars and can create an avatar with only one-tenth the strength of the original.

The advantage is that this starlight projection clone can project multiple starlight projection clones onto the entire world, or even beyond the world, wherever meteorites from outer space can land.

Wizard Smith's current magic pressure is 11000, so his star projector has a magic pressure of 1100.

However, he had already added a very large magic rune to this spell model, so the magic pressure of the starlight projection clone created by this starlight projection spell model rose out of thin air, from one-tenth of the original body's strength to one-third of the original body's magic pressure.

Therefore, the magical pressure of this starlight projection became 3665.

The difference between them is quite significant.

After all, 1100 magic pressure is only for an ordinary first-level wizard, while 3665 magic pressure is already for a first-level wizard in the stage of spiritual energy transformation.

After adding the Starlight Projection spell model to the Great Magic Rune, he essentially inserted the spell model into the slot of the Celestial Meteor, enhancing the Celestial Meteor's ability to carry certain information by projecting meteorites onto the earth.

This is why Wizard Smith's current Outer Meteor Grande spell can cast meteors onto the earth and grant the finder a small wish, thus drawing them into the Protoss race.

This is because this starlight projection spell model is a functional supplement to the extraterrestrial meteor.

Originally, it was quite difficult for him to quickly construct a spell model and add massive magic runes to it.

However, he had an assistant at the moment. With the help of the second-place finisher and by seizing the time, he was able to construct a second-circle spell model in such a short time and add a huge magic rune to it.

It is also his only extremely large magic rune at present.

At this moment, in the Emperor's Hall, the Emperor looked at the Wizard Smith, who was radiant with starlight and seemed like a star god descended to earth.

The emperor sat on his iron throne and said, "Do you know that before you brought the stars, there were very few stars in this world? I once briefly left the prime material plane of this world to go out and see that my world was in a sparsely populated area of ​​planes."

"At the beginning of creation, the main material plane of this world did not form many half-planes on the crystal wall system. The stars that are visible to the naked eye are generally half-planes on the crystal wall system, or plane light emitted from other planes outside the world."

"Starlight is the refracted light of different planes."

Smith's starlight projection avatar curled his lips into a smile. This avatar resembled a star god, standing 3 meters tall. Its entire body was composed of a semi-transparent shell made of compressed starlight, with dark blue light veins flowing inside, resembling the Milky Way.

With each step he took, he left a beetle-shaped constellation mark on the ground, which would disappear after about 3 seconds.

In the emperor's eyes, at the core of this incarnation's chest, a nebula was burning, and with each breath, there was the gravitational pull of a comet.

So powerful, so imposing.

Although the difference in magical pressure seemed enormous compared to him, the emperor had a strange feeling that the incarnation in his eyes was extremely troublesome.

Smith's starlight projection avatar said, "Impressive insight. You are a wizard?"

The emperor paused for a moment, his eyes deep and mysterious. “When you first entered this world, I suspected that you came from that great world.”

"You come from the [Otherworld], right?"

Beneath the Silent Throne, many wizard spectators whispered amongst themselves, "The Otherworld... how long has it been since we've heard that name?"

During the Enlightenment, the wizarding world was keen to share knowledge with others for free and regarded the Void as a potential future ally and brotherhood.

Therefore, the various colonial worlds at that time did not refer to the wizarding world as the Nightmare Legion or the World of Truth, but rather as the Otherworld.

The wizarding world is considered a dreamlike paradise.

Smith's Astral Avatar did not respond, after all, he was unaware that the common understanding of the wizarding world at this time was the Otherworld.

He didn't care about that.

The emperor asked, "Why do you say I am a wizard?"

Wizard Smith simply stated, "According to the laws of my world, the Pan-Magic Race Wizard Law, since you have accepted the gifts of the wizarding civilization, you can be considered a wizard."

The emperor spoke, "You wish to join forces with me?"

The emperor was a master of political maneuvering, and in an instant, he immediately understood the true purpose behind Wizard Smith's roundabout approach and conversation with him.

Wizard Smith glanced at the native emperor in surprise; he hadn't expected the man to react so quickly.

Wizard Smith spoke up, "Let's put aside our conflict of interest for now and eliminate the other wizard first. It will benefit both of us. He is my rival and one of your enemies."

"By eliminating him, I'll have one less competitor, and you'll have one less enemy. Why not?"

The emperor's eyes flickered. "So this is what the people of the Great World of the Other Shore are like. Heh, I'm relieved. It seems there are no such noble people in this world as described on that meteorite. The words on that meteorite kept me up all night."

"Now it seems that we are all the same."

The emperor said, "Deal. Let's join forces and eliminate a common enemy first."

Wizard Smith paid no attention to what the native said or what he thought of him.

Because in his eyes, none of this matters.

Wizard Smith said, “There is one more thing. That man in your capital named Locke Augustine is also from beyond the heavens, just like me. I also want to kill him.”

Beneath his armor, the emperor's eyes flickered; he instinctively doubted Wizard Smith's claims. "No, I refuse."

"First of all, I have no way of knowing whether what you said is true or false."

"Secondly, even if what you say is true, this man is a loyal subject to me and has been of great help to me at this time. I cannot lose his help. If you want to form an alliance with me, then you cannot make a move against Duke Schiller."

Smith's starlight projection twitched at the corner of its mouth.

Good heavens, how did Locke manage to climb to such a high position among the natives?
And such a high level of trust!

Wizard Smith pondered for a moment, then had no choice but to give up. "Very well, but you must cooperate with me and help me eliminate the fourth wizard hiding in your empire."

The emperor said, "That's fine."

Thus, the two successfully joined forces.

At that moment, Wizard Smith watched as his meteorite and the Emperor's mind blast simultaneously struck Wizard Edgar.

He burst into laughter. "I don't actually have an absolute conflict of interest with the emperor; I only have an absolute conflict of interest with you contestants."

He's not here to conquer planes, but to participate in a competition.

Defeating the emperor was actually just an option.

As long as we can win the game early, it doesn't matter if we ignore the emperor.

Even if the emperor wins in the end, it doesn't matter.

Because all he needs to do is beat the other contestants.

At that moment, the wizard Edgar's saintly avatar was severely injured.

A second-circle wizard's soul is deeply connected to the source of magic. So when Edgar was attacked by these two second-circle spells and his permanent defensive field was torn apart, it was essentially the Time Fern that was enduring the attack.

In the Land of All Spirits, which was constructed by the Shadow Fern and many other fern magical plants, large areas of the periphery were collapsing, Shadow Ferns were spontaneously combusting, and the entire Land of All Spirits was in turmoil.

The Land of All Spirits could not control the spirits of the plants, causing a large number of plant spirits to fly out of the Land of All Spirits and enter this world.

The balance between life and death has been broken once again.

The world consciousness, which had just begun to recover, was immediately dealt a severe blow and was suppressed again by the mental network.

The world's will soon realize that Wizard Smith had not only betrayed Edgar, but also the world.

Edgar the Wizard turned angrily to look at Smith the Wizard. At this moment, Edgar the Wizard's magic pressure mass was still 13000, but his total magic pressure was being lost in large quantities.

The quality of magical pressure is maintained by assets, namely the framework of ultimate magic, while the total amount of magical pressure is maintained by the magical pressure flowing through this world.

The Land of All Spirits is currently in great chaos, the balance of life and death has been broken, and the world's consciousness has been suppressed again. As a result, the total magical pressure of Wizard Edgar has naturally decreased significantly.

Wizard Smith gave him a strange look. “Strange, you possess two Great Runes. You could use Great Blessing to share some of your Great Magic access with a wizard from Quinjol, and then have him help you incorporate the Great Runes into a second-circle spell.”

"But you won't do it. Even now, you still won't take action."

"Never mind, it's none of my business. Efficiency first." Wizard Smith glanced at the heavily injured Wizard Edgar, then left him and the Emperor behind and rushed towards the west of the Empire.

In his agreement with the emperor, he was only responsible for helping the emperor severely damage Edgar; whether the emperor could eliminate Edgar afterward was none of his concern.

Otherwise, he would be working for the emperor, and once the emperor gets rid of Edgar, he would immediately turn his guns on him.

Wizard Smith, a man so focused on efficiency, would never make such a foolish mistake. 'Let the Emperor and Edgar both weaken each other, then I'll banish Georgina the Witch from this world. Next, I'll launch a surprise attack and eliminate the exhausted Emperor and Edgar.'

'Then there's only Locke left... No matter what he wants to do, he hasn't even unleashed a powerful spell, nor has he accumulated the effort needed to unleash one. So I've already won.'

A cold calculation flashed in Wizard Smith's eyes. As a wizard of the Smith family of Storm Tower, he was taught from a young age that efficiency was paramount.

For the sake of efficiency, everything else can be ignored.

'Kill Georgina the Witch, devour the world's resources she possesses, and the total magical pressure of my Great Magic can expand once more.'

Wizard Smith pondered.

As for how to find Georgina the Witch, it's actually quite simple.

The emperor could not be found because he was not a true wizard and had not received a complete education in wizarding civilization.

As fellow second-circle wizards, finding each other in this world is relatively easy.

At this moment, Wizard Smith arrived in the western province of the empire, riding the wind and flying through the sky. Then, one hundred and eight stars appeared behind him, forming a meteor shower and turning into shooting stars from outer space.

Then, countless meteorites rained down from the outer celestial meteoroid demiplane.

Those meteorites fell towards the western boundary.

Wizard Smith's eyes were cold. His attack spells were not intended to harm Georgina the Witch, but to eradicate the foundation of her charity.

His thinking is very clear.

Finding a second-circle wizard who has disappeared into the vast sea of ​​people in a very short time is indeed a pipe dream, but the other party is the type who can run away but not escape.

If the opponent wants to unleash a massive magical attack, they cannot escape the Charity Association, so he will directly launch a wide-ranging attack on several western provinces.

An attack was launched across the entire spectrum, from the sky to the land to the sea.

The plan is to sweep through these provinces with a meteor shower, forcing Georgina the Witch to come out on her own.

If she doesn't stop it, her entire charity will go to hell, and when the end of the world comes, the so-called charity will be unable to continue.

Whether Georgina the Witch chooses to stop it or not, she loses.

Wizard Smith mentally calculated the probability of the other party stopping him and found that the probability was quite high.

Actually, his move also has three major problems.

First, he would offend the will of the world, and if he did that, the will of the world would probably never side with him again.

Second, offend the emperor.

Third, this match is still under the surveillance of the Eye of Truth, and such acts of slaughter can be considered a malicious destruction of civilization.

It is estimated that a huge amount of civilization credit points will be deducted.

But after careful consideration, Wizard Smith found that the benefits of winning the game and securing the championship for Storm Tower far outweighed these three consequences, so he proceeded anyway.

Moreover, these three problems only arise if Georgina the Witch does not intervene at all.

But this is not possible.

If she doesn't stop it, she'll likely end up at the bottom of the rankings in this competition.

Wizard Smith stood in the sky, a smile playing on his lips. "Efficiency is paramount. This method is the most efficient."

At this moment, the world's will of the Silent Dimension expressed severe anger towards him, even towards the Emperor in the distance. He never expected that his partner, a person from the Great World of the Other Shore, would be so evil as to do something that even someone like the Emperor, who considered himself an evil person, would not do.

Edgar the Wizard glanced at Smith the Wizard with disdain.

Beneath the Silent Throne, the instructor leading the Storm Tower nodded in satisfaction. "Clean and efficient, as expected of a wizard from our Storm Tower."

Wizard Rush chuckled. "No matter how many years pass, the morbid nature of you wizards from Storm Tower will never change."

Chad Schultz agreed, saying, "Although this practice complies with the competition rules, this is a commercial competition that will be broadcast live to the entire Yunze Wetland."

"Your behavior during the competition reflects the image of Storm Tower in the eyes of so many wizards and future students. Storm Tower is one of the seven top academies in Cloud Marsh Wetlands. Why do you have to win in such a dishonorable way in front of everyone?"

The Moon Witch of Bonifacius University also nodded.

The teacher leading the Storm Tower team blushed and said angrily, "A competition is a competition, and winning is the basic requirement. What are you talking about values? Students from Cloud Marsh Wetlands and the major wizarding lands, as well as future professional wizards who may cooperate with us, will only cooperate with the winners and join the winners' schools."

"If we lose, then we have nothing at all."

Meanwhile, in the Storm Tower spectator area, many wizards were cheering and saying that Wizard Smith was the oldest and most traditional wizard in their Cloud Marsh Wetlands.

In the audience area of ​​Kungudin Building Materials Academy, Wizard Mike clenched his fist. "How could someone like this gain the upper hand? It's really frustrating to watch."

The Sun Ring Wizard beside him chuckled, “Mike, although the Storm Tower’s methods are despicable and prioritize efficiency over other aspects, this method is indeed the most efficient.”

"So it's not surprising that they won. You and I will just watch. By observing this great competition in the Cloud Marsh Wetlands, we wizards from Kungudin Academy can better understand what this wizarding land is like."

"Of course, we, Kunguding Building Materials College, come from the land of wizards in the Nine Plains Mountain. So, for me, I cannot accept this practice."

"In the mountains of Jiuyuan, you must win beautifully. Values ​​should transcend winning and losing itself."

"If you have to abandon your values ​​in order to win, then you might as well lose."

Wizard Mike nodded in agreement.

In the land of the wizards of Jiuyuan Mountain, values ​​are very important.

Therefore, after losing the academic standing challenge, Kungudin Building Materials Wizarding Academy moved away overnight to prevent its value of quality from being changed.

Kunguding Building Materials Academy can accept losing, but it absolutely cannot accept the fact that the entire academic rules of construction in the Wizarding Land of Jiuyuan Mountain must be changed.

In the audience area of ​​Storm Tower, the main sentiment was that Wizard Smith's approach was actually the most rational.

A large group of wizards from the wizarding academies in the Storm Tower region were praising Wizard Smith.

The two second-circle wizards of the Tower of Transformation exchanged a glance and said helplessly, "The Storm Tower region truly lives up to its reputation as one of the last few regions among the ten regions of Cloud Marsh Wetlands."

Yunze Wetland has a total of ten major areas, seven of which are led by a top-tier academy.

The three regions are an alliance of a bunch of medium-sized wizarding colleges, which are in charge there.

The seven top academies can continuously recruit the best students and the best formal wizards from Yunze Wetland and the wizarding lands outside, attract the most generous investments, obtain the best equipment, and also have a large number of magazines and journals and host awards.

Therefore, generally speaking, the regions where the seven top academies are located will have higher academic rankings than the regions dominated by the alliance of the three medium-sized wizarding academies in recent years.

But the Storm Tower region is an exception; most of the wizarding colleges in this wretched place bear the mark of Storm Tower.

Any wizarding academy in the Storm Tower region that could potentially threaten Storm Tower would be suppressed in advance.

Therefore, the Storm Tower region is the only region with top universities that could potentially rank at the bottom of the academic rankings in Yunze Wetland.

Several times they even came in last place, which really opened everyone's eyes.

Within the silent dimension.

As countless meteors plummeted toward the western part of the world, Wizard Smith stood in the sky, looking down at the earth, and quickly searched for Georgina's location.

Still no action? If this continues, I'll destroy a significant portion of the world in an instant.

Wizard Smith was getting a little anxious; this kind of gameplay was rather extreme.

He was essentially gambling; Georgina Witch wouldn't dare let the charity she had built up in this world run into problems.

But if Georgina the Witch doesn't appear and he really destroys the area, then he's completely forced onto the path of speedrunning.

Because this action of his would directly offend everyone in the world.

If he can't pass the test quickly, everyone will target him, and he'll really be at the bottom this time, and not just in a normal way.

It is the bottom of the list after all the scheming and controversial behavior, and the deduction of most of the civilization credit points.

Therefore, Wizard Smith was also quite nervous at this moment.

Georgina the Witch's actions will determine how he should play the game next.

The next moment, a golden spinning machine the size of a house appeared in the sky above the western province, with three stools placed around it.

Wizard Smith breathed a sigh of relief.

Georgina the Witch has finally appeared.

In this way, she can block her own magic, and he won't have to go to such extremes.

The golden loom spun out pieces of translucent golden fabric, which transformed into a giant carpet that covered the sky above the western province, blocking the meteor shower.

Georgina's eyes, hidden beneath her witch mask, blazed with fury. "Witch Smith, the White Wizarding Guild has strict laws. We are propagators of truth, not destroyers of the world."

"This match will be broadcast live to the entire Yunze Wetland; it's a public commercial competition. What if the dark wizards see this? How will they view us?"

Wizard Smith smiled. "But this is indeed the most efficient way. Georgina, you've lost."

“You came out and stopped me. You helped me, but you hurt yourself. Georgina, you lost.”
