Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 711 Entering the Mind Network Access Space
In fact, Wizard Smith's timing was excellent.

He seized the crucial moment when Locke and the wizard Edgar were exchanging massive magical attacks, the time it took for Locke to recover his magical pressure.

As a descendant of a high-ranking member of the Storm Tower, he had considerable knowledge of ultimate magic, which allowed him to accurately assess Locke's current state and approximate limits of ability.

He knew that Locke was currently the most powerful being in this plane, possessing 16000 magic pressure, three extremely powerful magic runes, and instantly summoning two assistants at the first stage of crystallization.

These factors gave Locke too many advantages.

However, he also knew that since the second-ring initial forging of the great magic had just been completed, it was in the first forging stage, which was the [unforged stage].

At this moment, the energy dissipation and separation of the ultimate magic are too high, and the instantaneous magic pressure output multiplier will not be particularly high. Therefore, no matter how much capital, how much total magic pressure, how many ultimate magic runes and assistants Locke has, he will experience a brief period of exhaustion after using an ultimate magic attack.

Therefore, he immediately seized the opportunity and used the full power of the Celestial Meteor - Great Power Magic to launch a direct attack on Locke.

What Wizard Smith didn't expect was that the Kingdom Domain and the Moon of Evolution were so perfectly matched.

1+1 is greater than 2.

He estimated that Locke would need at least a minute to recover his total magic pressure, and that minute would be enough for him to seize the opportunity to make Locke suffer a great loss. However, he did not expect that Locke's Evolution Moon would recover its total magic pressure in just the time it takes to breathe.

He had no idea that Locke had already deduced his thoughts and actions from the energy dissipation of his meteor.

Behind Wizard Smith, in the extraterrestrial meteor plane cluster, meteors twinkled. Following the meteorite that transported the Astral Beast, the Second Ring Astral Insect King, thousands more meteorites fell. On each smaller meteorite lay an insect, all of which were Astral Insects at the Limit Magic Pressure level of First-Class Wizard Apprentices.

Smith was only an ordinary second-ring, so he barely managed to summon a second-ring level Astral Worm with all his might, while the rest of the swarm were only apprentice level.

That Astral Insect King's full name is the "Tivora Tyrant Insect," a second-ringed king insect of the Planet Eater swarm in the Astral Plane.

Its entire body is made of deep-space blue chitinous exoskeleton. It has no eyes, but eight star core crystals are embedded in its forehead, which can refract light.

It resembles a weaponized beetle, with its wings spread out on its back, displaying a semi-transparent projection of the constellation Bugs.

The Tivora Tyrant Bug was not actually controlled by the meteor from outer space, because the meteor from outer space was a meteorite magic spell, not a bug spell spell, and therefore could not control this bug king that was sent down from the astral plane by Wizard Smith.

This spell is more like dropping a meteorite from the astral plane to deal with a dangerous disaster, and then leaving it alone.

However, Wizard Smith added a large amount of magic runes to the starlight projection, using the starlight projection to enhance part of the extraterrestrial meteor's control over these sent-down astral behemoths. Therefore, at this moment, the Tivora Tyrant Worm was constantly enveloped in a ball of starlight.

This is Smith's indirect control over it.

By using starlight to lure and indirectly influence the insect king's actions.

But to be honest, he had no way of controlling this second-ring level being, who was at the same level as him and whose magical pressure was no lower than his.

He sent the insect king down only to stir up trouble and disrupt Locke's current dominance in the Silent Dimension.

But this was precisely the moment Locke had been waiting for.

Locke flipped his left hand and used Evolution Moon for the second time. "Smith, your Meteor from Outer Space has a huge flaw."

At this moment, Locke, who was maintaining the state of "doing whatever he wanted without overstepping the bounds," was essentially being helped by the world's will from the silent plane to think. Therefore, his thinking was clear, his actions were powerful, and his plans were flawless.

This is the world's reward to itself.

For a long period of time, my intelligence, comprehension, memory, and logical abilities were all greatly enhanced.

This state is also very precious to me.

Once in this state, Locke was able to see the flaws of the extraterrestrial meteor more clearly.

Wizard Smith was taken aback. "My meteor shower has a defect?"

His eyes were filled with fear and panic. "What defect?"

The next moment, Locke's Moon of Evolution rolled forward, flipped over, and the Moon Plant - Golden Palace Remnant Branch transformed into a crossbow, then a beam of moonlight fell into it.

'Boom~'

The collision of two immense magical spells shook the heavens and earth, and terrified all things.

Wizard Smith's eyes were strange. Locke's immense magic was extremely suppressive to magical plants, which was why Wizard Edgar was so easily suppressed.

Otherwise, the difference between two newly trained second-ring wizards would not be so great.

However, the moonlight of the Evolution Month should be ineffective against his swarm of insects and meteors from outer space.

Because these are not plants at all.

However, as Locke's moonlight rushed into the dark, universe-like space inside the meteor, Locke's moon hung like a bright mirror within the meteor.

The Moon of Evolution can illuminate the past and present; wherever the moonlight shines, that is where the full moon can manifest.

At this moment, Locke's moon entered the outer space of the meteor, forcibly coexisting with it.

But that's not all. At this moment, the meteor from outer space also opened up a space, namely the passage connecting the meteor from outer space to the star realm!

At that moment, Locke's moonlight also shone into the passage, and Locke's moon appeared in the passage.

Thus, the Moon of Evolution illuminated the entire outer space, both inside and outside the meteor.

Locke took a breath, and the Moon of Evolution once again passed through the Dharma Realm, collecting the energy fragments of the collective consciousness of all the Tree People in the Dharma Realm, and restoring the magical pressure.

This time, an evolutionary moon has been hung between the meteor shower and the astral passage.

Wizard Smith's expression changed drastically. "Oh no."

"It's too late to close the passage. You're going to destroy my ultimate magic!"

"brute!"

At this moment, the Moon of Evolution hanging in the passage flipped over. Locke used the Great Magic - Moon of Evolution for the third time. The full moon rolled over, revealing the dark side of the moon. At this moment, a branch of the Golden Palace Remnant fell down. Then, the Golden Palace Remnant transformed into a bow on its own, and the branch automatically turned into a tree branch spear.

Draw a bow and set an arrow.

Peach arc spine arrow!

This was only a first-level spell, but with the massive amplification of ultimate magic, it directly attacked the most vulnerable passage at this moment.

A tree branch spear shot out and instantly pierced the depths of the astral plane.

In the depths of the astral plane, even the starlight of the sacred Dragon Star appeared in response.

In an instant, Locke's destruction of his portal from the outer reaches of the star system triggered a chain reaction.

Wizard Smith screamed in agony as his magical pressure instantly became extremely chaotic!

The ultimate magic is the source of a second-circle wizard's magic. At this moment, the source of magic has been severely damaged, so naturally his magic pressure cannot be normal.

Originally, a great magic spell must be more robust than that of a wizard, but Locke seized the moment when Wizard Smith used the meteor to open the portal to the astral plane and attacked the portal directly.

As a result, the energy dissipation of the meteor from outer space increased to its maximum value in an instant.

Within the entire celestial meteor, stars shifted and changed positions, with streaks of stars churning erratically within.

Because the astral portal was destroyed, those astral beasts could not be sent into this world and were directly blocked in the astral portal.

In this way, it means that meteors from outer space cannot reduce their energy dissipation by throwing trash onto the earth.

It is also impossible to replenish energy through the astral plane, or to inject energy from the outside to reduce energy dissipation.

Moreover, since meteors from outer space have lost their energy source, their energy dissipation will gradually increase even if they do nothing.

Either the entire meteor explodes in an instant, or the entire meteor disintegrates in an instant.

If this were outside, Wizard Smith would already be dead!
Wizard Smith was stunned, looking at the shooting stars behind him.

What should he do?
Who can help him stabilize his magical pressure and reduce the energy dissipation of his magic?
What knowledge can help him?
Regarding knowledge of the ultimate magic of the second stage, whether it is Locke, him, or Edgar, they are all still seekers of knowledge in the exploratory stage.

At the critical moment of life and death, Wizard Smith pondered deeply and suddenly an idea popped into his head.

Although he did not understand the Kingdom Domain, he knew that Locke's world-class Dharma Realm was located above three-dimensional spatial coordinates plus a one-dimensional spiritual dimension.

The demiplane group of the Great Magic: Meteor from Outer Space belongs to the pseudo-astral plane, which is also a three-dimensional spatial coordinate plus a one-dimensional spiritual dimension.

It's just that the phase of Locke's Dharmadhatu is different.

If Locke's world-class realm is located on the negative axis of the spiritual axis, then his extraterrestrial meteor demiplane group is located on the positive axis of the spiritual axis.

This world is located at the zero point of the spiritual axis.

Because the prime material plane is only a three-dimensional space coordinate system plus one-dimensional time, while the world itself is a higher-dimensional existence.

Just like the astral plane isn't four-dimensional.

Therefore, his great magic in this world is merely a poor imitation of the astral plane.

'If I suspend my immense magic within that realm, I can create a balance of positive and negative forces on the spiritual axis…' Wizard Smith pondered. 'In that case, perhaps I can use the realm to maintain the stability of my celestial meteor.'

"But this means I've become a laborer working for his assets! You beast! You destroyed my assets, and now you want to force me to work for you."

Wizard Smith gritted his teeth.

He should absolutely not consider entering the Dharma realm unless absolutely necessary.

In his eyes, Locke was forcing him to enter the Dharma Realm because it was full of traps and pitfalls.

If he goes in, will he have any chance of survival?

Wizard Smith's expression changed repeatedly. He had no choice but to use the backup plan that the witch Medea had found for him.

At the same time, the combined efforts of Edgar and Wizard Smith were neutralized by Locke in the blink of an eye.

Taking advantage of his size and the combined strength of his ultimate magic and the Kingdom Domain, Locke used his ultimate magic three times in a row. Each time, the Kingdom Domain restored his total magic pressure in a single breath.

As long as the energy in the kingdom's territory doesn't run out, it will be difficult for our side to run out as well.

The kingdom's realm is fed by the spirituality of the entire world, which gives it an exceptionally strong endurance.

This is the biggest reason why I can currently overpower everyone.

Otherwise, with the extremely restrictive magic of the initial forging stage, it would be quite difficult to fight three opponents at once.

Locke looked at the Emperor. The Emperor had originally wanted to find an opportunity to strike Locke first when Edgar and Smith joined forces to fight Locke, but he found that Locke was always on guard against him. Because of the collapse of his mental network, his abilities had been greatly reduced, so he could not find an opportunity to strike Locke.

The Emperor saw Locke approaching and a voice came from beneath his armor. "Traitorous wretch, those two people from the Great World of the Other Shore have already told me. I also know you will attack me because I am currently your creditor, isn't that right?"

"You leveraged me a hundredfold, borrowing money from me. Although my mental kingdom and empire have been emptied by your loans, I am still your creditor. You still owe me money!" "This is where you are most likely to fail, so you target me. Right now, I am your weakness!"

Locke smiled. "That's true. However, your empire and mind network are no longer sustainable."

“If this continues, your mental network will collapse, and the light of your soul will be extinguished. You must find someone to help you maintain your mental network.”

"Otherwise you will die."

Locke looked at him and said coldly, "With your death, the debt I owe you can be cleared. Therefore, there is no question of you being my weakness."

The emperor's expression changed slightly.

Locke said, “You should have realized it by now. No matter how long you delay, no matter what methods you use to find power in this world and maintain your mental network, it’s all useless.”

"Because I have already emptied this world."

"You only have two choices left. First, enter the Dharma Realm, where there is still a place in this world that has not been emptied. Perhaps you can find a solution there."

"Second..." Locke revealed his true intentions. "You grant me access to the Mind Network, allowing my moon to enter as its master."

"At this moment, I am the only person in the world who can provide the energy to keep your spiritual network alive."

In doing so, you are essentially acquiring your own creditors.

In this way, the debt will naturally cease to exist.

Disappear!

Locke looked at the Emperor, opened the Gate of the Dharma Realm, and made a gesture as if inviting the Emperor into a trap. "Choose one, Your Majesty."

"Of course, if you can beat me and force me to pay off my debt, then you can try. Wasn't that your plan before?"

The emperor's expression beneath his armor changed drastically.

Most people would be considering entering the Dharma Realm by now, but he was pondering why Locke had repeatedly asked them to enter the Dharma Realm.

Moreover, Georgina, who had previously entered the Dharma realm, no longer showed any reaction.

There must be a big problem!
The emperor pondered: 'That world must already be completely under his control. If I enter, I will be completely controlled by him. But if I open the mental network and allow him to enter, I can still retain a certain position based on my authority within the mental network.'

'Therefore, it seems more appropriate for me to put him into the mind network.'

Locke smiled, for the emperor had opened his mind network to him.

In reality, he was deceiving the emperor.

Even if the mental network disappears, the creditors will not.

Originally, the creditor was the emperor, so once the emperor died, the creditor disappeared.

One's creditor is not the Mind Network, but the Emperor; therefore, if someone else swallows the Mind Network, they will only need to pay money to the Dharma Realm.

Because everything in this world, under the guidance of the world's will, prioritizes providing spiritual resources to the Dharma realm.

But the emperor is the creditor; when he dies, his creditor is truly gone.

However, at this moment, due to the wizard Edgar's ultimate magic, Time Fern, a change occurred.

If the Emperor's spiritual essence is taken away by the Shadow Fern, causing the Emperor to be reborn as a plant spirit and become a demonic plant, then... his creditor will become Edgar.

Locke looked at Edgar.

I have to be wary of this move he might make.

From beginning to end, his main enemy was him. Smith was no longer a threat to him. The only one who didn't understand was Edgar.

However, both of their powerful spells were collapsing because the Permanent Defense Field had been upgraded to level two, which was why he couldn't quickly knock them away.

Furthermore, both of them are currently using Saint Incarnations, so killing them would be pointless. Therefore, Locke only needs to cause their ultimate magic to collapse, and he will automatically win the match.

There's no need to go to the crystal wall system of the main matter plane; we can directly attack the two individuals' physical bodies.

But if everything goes smoothly, these two will soon be knocked out of this plane by themselves.

The wizard Edgar was dealing with the eight-clawed tendrils inside his Shadow Fern, which were on fire due to spontaneous combustion caused by the No. 2 Overlord Element.

Edgar, on the other hand, used the Magical Co-frequency Cultivation Method to summon the Magical Sun, stimulating the vitality of the Eight Buddha Claw Vine as much as possible and helping it adapt to the toxicity of Tyrant Element No. 2.

'Although Tyrant Element No. 2 is merely a natural magical structural component extracted from a first-ring magical plant, it has now been injected into my second-ring magical plant by that moonlight, causing every cell inside to undergo a Tyrant-like reaction.'

'Even a second-ring magical plant can't withstand this,' thought the wizard Edgar. 'The amount injected at once is huge, so my Eight Buddha Claw Vine is now on the verge of death.'

“The best solution is to inject the cell conjugate of Tyrant Essence No. 2,” Wizard Edgar said, his eyes gleaming.

"Directly transform my Eight Buddha Claw Hands vines into a Overlord."

"But right now, suddenly in the middle of a battle, even if I am a breeder, it is impossible for me to create a cell conjugate that targets Tyrannosaurus No. 2 in a short period of time."

The wizard Edgar sighed, walked out of the Land of All Spirits, and returned to the present world of the Silent Dimension, where he immediately saw the Emperor who had granted Locke full access to the Mind Network.

He frowned immediately. "Damn Locke, he's so calculating."

He had long known that the emperor didn't have much power left, and even if he tried to win him over, it wouldn't be of much use to their alliance.

The reason he still tried to win over the emperor was that he wanted to use the emperor to outmaneuver Locke and turn the tables on him.

Or rather, even his alliance with Wizard Smith was a trivial matter, something that could be dispensable.

Because Locke currently possesses the highest total magic pressure in the entire arena, even if he can't eliminate the two of them as quickly as before, he can still wear them down by relying on his high health bar.

So, it's just a matter of whether Locke's victory looks good or not.

He recruited the three to join forces, his real plan being to force Locke to kill the Emperor, taking advantage of Locke's eagerness to eliminate his creditors, and forcing Locke to eliminate his own creditors, thus removing his last weakness.

The moment he killed the emperor, he used the Eight Buddha Claws vines to absorb the emperor's life force, which would then envelop his spiritual existence and pull him along with the emperor.

Then, he immediately arranged for the emperor to be reincarnated so that his Land of All Souls could become Locke's creditor.

Because he didn't access the mental network, although he was Locke's creditor, he didn't need to pay Locke the corresponding spirituality.

He can also maintain certain advantages in his battle with Locke by virtue of his status as a creditor.

But Locke had anticipated this move and completely blocked it.

The Wizard Edgar felt that the game had turned into a game of chess.

You make a move, I make a move.

Whoever can anticipate and prepare for the opponent's moves first will win.

Edgar frowned. He realized that even when he stood in front of Locke, Locke did not attack him. Instead, Locke was focused on waiting for his Land of All Souls to collapse on its own and to take over the Emperor's mental network as soon as possible.

Edgar's heart sank.

The situation was getting worse; Locke hadn't done what he expected and hadn't attacked him directly.

Did the other party guess something?
'It's always been like this.'

'Locke's intuition was also very sharp during the Yunze Cup.'

'It must have been his intuition that alerted him to the anomaly, causing him to avoid a direct confrontation with me,' the wizard Edgar thought anxiously. 'If nothing changes, this match will be over.'

"As long as Locke makes a move against me, I can turn the tables."

The next moment, Locke grabbed the Emperor and took him into the inner access space of the mind network, disappearing from the real world.

Edgar the wizard felt a sudden sinking feeling in his heart.

After the emergence of a world-class Dharma realm, his Land of Myriad Spirits has become much less important to the Silent Plane, to the point that it is even dispensable.

The Silent Plane even intended to merge the Dharma Realm with its Land of All Spirits.

At this moment, the magic realm was compressing the Shadow Fern space, and Locke had injected a large amount of Tyrant Essence No. 2 into the magical vines of his Land of All Spirits, so his Great Magic was rapidly collapsing.

Before entering the mind network, Locke glanced sideways at Edgar. 'I originally intended to use the Moon of Evolution to suspend myself in the Land of Spirits and seize partial control of the Land of Spirits and the Shadow Fern.'

'I can merge the Land of All Spirits with my Dharma Realm, and then control this area with the Moon of Evolution, thereby indirectly controlling another immense magic.'

'But my superintuition suddenly gave me a warning.'

'Therefore, I'd better do nothing and wait for them to perish on their own. As for Smith… his meteor shower is already collapsing, and his true form hasn't descended yet; killing him now would just be killing a saintly incarnation.'

'Besides, judging from his appearance, he seems capable of going insane. I'm not playing along with him. Unless he actively enters the Dharma Realm, he won't be able to stabilize his extraterrestrial meteor.'

Locke's Evolution Moon was constantly hanging in his celestial meteor, which was equivalent to completely locking him down.

Moreover, the Peach Arch Thorn Arrow used by the Moon of Evolution carries the light of the Divine Dragon Star, which is the power of change and the power of instability.

This leads to an increase in the energy dissipation of meteors from outer space.

Essentially, the Dark Side of the Moon is an alternative, extremely powerful magic rune, essentially giving oneself an extra extremely powerful magic rune compared to others.

During the ordinary second ring road phase, it gave him a huge advantage.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to crush two wizards of the same level so soon after becoming a second-ring wizard.

In the present world, Wizard Smith saw Locke leaving and said, "Wait, don't go."

Wizard Smith gritted his teeth and then retrieved a soul artifact bound to his soul—a die—from within his own soul.

Since the Soul Artifact is bound to the soul, his saintly avatar can still retrieve it from the soul.

"Medea, thank you so much."

"Thanks to you for helping me get this world wonder ahead of time, otherwise I really wouldn't know what to do. After I win the championship, if you ask me to help you find a job, I will definitely help you find a job with a lot of overtime pay."

Beneath the Silent Throne, Medea wore a strange smile.

She glanced at the second-circle wizards of the Smith family around her, then bowed her head and smiled, saying, "Thank you, Lord Smith."

"I really do lack a job like that."

"Well then, wizards hired by Wizard Smith, the game is about to begin. Who will be the first?"
