Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 731 The Silent Holy Grail, Champion!
Under the light of the Moon of Evolution, the Perfect Tree developed dual attributes of water and fire. Its oak leaves were silver-blue, its bark was orange-red and scaly, its veins shimmered like electrical circuits, and its roots emitted the scent of sulfur.

The magnificent Tree-Man, with its perfect form, unleashed the "Return of All Things to the Tree" spell upon the entire Silent Plane. In an instant, the Silent Plane seemed to transform from a flood into a drought, with not a single drop of water remaining.

Because the Perfect Tree was incorporated into Locke's ecosystem, the magic pressure of Locke's Evolution Month suddenly increased. Since the Perfect Tree was also incorporated into the Evolution Month's ecosystem, its magic pressure also increased.

This led to two extremely powerful magical entities forming mutually dependent ecosystems, creating a chain reaction.

The magical pressure across the entire Silent Dimension began to rise.

At this moment, the Silent Dimension was in a peculiar state, alternating between light and darkness.

This state is entirely due to the combination of two extremely powerful spells, which mutually amplified the magical pressure, resulting in an increase in the overall magical pressure of the Silent Dimension and forcibly suppressing the arrival of the disc-shaped creatures, thus creating a special state.

The world was sometimes plunged into absolute darkness by the arrival of Omega, and sometimes illuminated by the light of the Tree of Perfection and the Moon of Evolution.

This is equivalent to Edgar and Locke using their immense magic to block the two planes from colliding and causing the end of the world!

In a silent dimension, in a city, a little girl looked up at the radiant light in the sky with fear and curiosity. She looked at her mother beside her and asked, "Mom, I'm afraid of the dark. Will the rain stop? Will the light appear forever?"

Her mother did not answer, because at that moment a strange blue light appeared in her mother's retina.

At that moment, a 'crack' sound came from the Perfect Tree.

Edgar looked at Locke and said, "Let's seize this only opportunity to find out why the disc creatures were able to descend so quickly."

Locke nodded.

The two's immense magic is now positioned between the two planes, and they are under tremendous pressure every moment.

Omega's blue halo appeared before the two, clearly not expecting that the two had temporarily averted the apocalypse through their powerful magical relationship as an interdependent ecosystem.

It was somewhat exasperated.

"No matter what you do, it's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; no one can stop the end of the world!"

"Your efforts are in vain!"

"The end times are inevitable!"

Ignoring Omega's exasperation, the two began to examine the Silent Dimension.

Edgar first checked the energy flow of Omega, while Locke flew into the capital to examine those with strange blue rings on their retinas.

Locke snapped his fingers, summoning the legendary history books, and attempted to use archaeological magic to find out why Omega could arrive so quickly.

After searching for about half an hour, I found nothing.

At this moment, of the two great spells, Edgar's Perfect Tree was the first to give way. With a 'crack', a branch of the Perfect Tree fell from the sky and crashed to the ground.

Inside the church, Omega's eerie blue light appeared in the retinas of these humans, and it laughed heartily, extremely pleased with itself.

“Locke Augustine, stop looking, this plane belongs to me.”

"You can't possibly find it."

"Hahaha... The Silent Witch couldn't find it back then, do you think you can? Hahahaha... The Disc Creatures are consistent across all timelines, so I've always had the memories of that time, and I've always had your memories. Over the years, countless wizards have died in the apocalypse I brought, without exception."

An eerie blue halo rose into the air.

On the other side, Edgar appeared at the top of the canopy of the Tree of Perfection, his face pale. The structure of the Tree of Perfection looked even more fragile than that of the Moon of Evolution.

This is of course.

Locke's Evolution Moon is too much like the moon, and his Evolution Moon is supported by a world-class law realm.

Therefore, Edgar was the first of the two to give up.

At this moment, Edgar felt that the Tree of Perfection, caught between the gravitational forces of the two planes, had finally reached its limit.

A blue halo appeared before him, bewitching him: "Edgar, give up. You're the most resilient wizard I've ever seen. But the end of the world is inevitable, and you won't find a single weakness in me. I come and go without a trace, hahahahaha..."

Edgar is manipulating the roots of the Perfect Tree to spread throughout the Silent Dimension, trying to find the source of Omega's energy intrusion, but he has found nothing.

It looks perfectly normal.

Omega's power comes from outside.

There was not a trace of his power within the Silent Dimension.

Edgar used a botanical spell to disperse the blue light ring in front of him, and the blue light ring reformed and reappeared beside Edgar after it dissipated.

"Edgar, don't waste your time. All your efforts are in vain, hahaha..."

At the same time, a branch of the perfect tree broke off again, and then, as if a chain reaction had occurred, the perfect tree collapsed in a chain reaction.

Edgar gritted his teeth and persevered; he was powerless to do anything else but maintain the existence of the Tree of Perfection.

"Damn it. This darn disc-shaped creature, am I going to be defeated by such a disgusting thing?"

Edgar tried his best to buy Locke time. "Locke, what have you found over there?"

Meanwhile, in the capital city, inside a church.

Locke looked up, suddenly turned to Omega, and asked a question.

"There's a question I've really wanted to ask you in the last half hour. It was our first meeting, and you successfully influenced me, making your blue light appear on me, and even trying to assimilate me."

"Back then, you were able to do it so easily. But why, in the past half hour, did you not even try to appear on me once, and... only on those mortals in the church?"

Omega's laughter stopped abruptly, as if someone had suddenly grabbed him by the neck.

Locke lowered his eyes.

"Your mockery reminds me of a possibility. In such a short time, you have lost your influence over me and are no longer able to assimilate with me."

"Assimilation is a scam, isn't it, Omega?"

"I had completely forgotten to try something."

Locke, through his authority over the gates to the Dharma Realm, closed the gates leading to the Dharma Realm.

At the same time, the torrential rain that had been pouring down across the entire Dharma realm suddenly stopped completely.

Omega's abilities are simply incapable of invading the Dharma realm.

The audience of The Silent Throne was completely dumbfounded.

Not long ago, Locke had closed the gates to the Dharma Realm, but Omega ignored them and allowed the Fallen Rain Realm to descend upon the Dharma Realm.

This led viewers to believe that closing the Dharma Realm was a pointless act.

Meanwhile, all seven Japanese environmental assessment committee members involuntarily leaned forward, wanting to see what was happening.

Within the Silent Dimension, Locke closed the gates to the Dharma Realm and severed Omega's power from invading it.

He suddenly realized something, quickly turned around and walked towards the mental network he had abandoned next to the capital. He recited a spell to open the mental network's access space, and was about to enter when he found himself blocked from entering by some force.

Locke frowned, holding the Sea Gold Sand, and tried to attack once, but failed.

He immediately thought of the Grand Duke of Westminster. "Could it be that it was you, the Emperor, who was behind this?"

Locke used the shadow grass left on the emperor to quickly fly to his side. He saw that the emperor was sitting in the imperial hall with his head tilted back, his neck already cut open.

He seemed extremely shocked; his pupils dilated before he died, revealing a horrified expression.

Locke looked at the Emperor and said, "The Grand Duke of Westminster is actually dead."

Omega seemed to be frightened, and the phantom stopped appearing, as if it was afraid that its conversation with Locke would make Locke realize the problem again.

Locke's insight was so powerful that he grasped the crux of the problem in just a few words.

At this moment, Omega even felt a pang of regret.

It was far too overconfident.

If it hadn't been constantly mocked in front of Locke, perhaps Locke wouldn't have even noticed that it had lost the ability to 'assimilate' Locke.

Locke looked at the emperor's corpse. It was clear that the emperor had fought before he died. In this plane, the only ones who could kill the emperor, besides the four contestants, were the disc-shaped creatures Omega.

The emperor must have been fighting with Omega before he died.

Locke's sea gold sand transformed into a golden fern spear, which then reversed and shot towards the direction of the mind network.

If that's the case, then the only place where a problem might arise is not anywhere in the Silent Dimension, but within that mental network.

Locke suddenly realized the truth of the matter.

The Golden Fern Spear concentrated all its energy and then shot towards the mental network on the outskirts of the capital like a streak of lightning.

is there time?
'Boom~'

With a sound like the sky collapsing, the entire Perfect Tree was crushed from top to bottom. Locke's Moon of Evolution also collapsed due to the structure of the Perfect Tree, instantly bearing double the pressure of the plane and splitting in two.

Omega let out a triumphant cry and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha... The end of the world has officially arrived. Wizards, the game is over. Silent Dimension, how many times have I devoured you? Hahahaha..."

Edgar's face turned pale, and before he could speak, his saintly avatar died completely due to the destruction of his original body, the Tree of Perfection.

If this were a normal world, he would be dead by now, not even a trace left.

At that moment, he vanished into the silent plane.

The next moment, he fell from beneath the Silent Throne.

In an instant, the Silent Dimension was plunged into complete darkness.

It was like a lamp that went out in an instant.

At the moment of the apocalypse, the tree collapsed, the Moon of Evolution split in two, and both contestants were severely impacted.

The entire scene on the Silent Throne turned completely dark.

There was nothing else on the screen. The wizarding audience fell silent.

Just moments ago they thought a miracle was about to happen, but after Locke and Edgar stalled for half an hour, the end of the world still arrived as scheduled.

This left a faint sense of sadness and regret among the Wizarding World audience.

Wizard Rush sighed and silently looked at the spot where Edgar had appeared. "Edgar, that's enough. You've done your best. With each Silent Grail War, the Silent Dimension is destined for apocalypse; no one can stop it."

In the Golden Crown Mountain region, the Sun Ring Wizard, who belonged to the Academic Committee, frowned.

The audience was whispering to each other.

"The end of the world finally arrived in an instant. The entire world seemed to be swallowed up in a flash. But with that, the competition can be considered over, and the first and second place winners have been determined."

"Yes, this competition was very exciting, it was definitely worth the trip."

At this moment, many wizards in the audience area were preparing to stand up, pack their things, and leave. But suddenly someone shouted, "Wait... in that silent plane, it seems like a beam of moonlight is rising..."

The wizard audience all looked up in surprise.

In the boundless darkness of the Silent Plane, a ray of moonlight suddenly rose, as if the world had just been reborn from the beginning of chaos.

A crescent moon hangs above the dark earth.

Everything was dark except for the bright moonlight.

On this vast, dark land, only a sliver of moonlight shines into people's hearts.

Within the Mind Network's access space, Locke looked at Haijinsha, who had transformed into a heart-shaped leaf and entered the gametophyte state. He had suddenly realized something when he attacked the Mind Network's access space.

That is, what restricts one's access to the mental space is one's own demonic pressure.

In other words, the new magical seal that appeared in the Mind Authority Space is very primitive, and it is identified by a person's magical pressure.

However, as long as one actively lowers the magical pressure, there is a way to enter it.

Therefore, when I activated the botanical magic of generational alternation, which caused the sea ginseng to transform from a spore-like adult into a gametophyte, my magical pressure as the owner of the sea ginseng could also decrease.

Like hibernation.

Therefore, I was able to enter the mental network access space at the most dangerous moment.

The moment Locke entered the mind network's access space, he understood everything.

Locke looked up at the spiritual entities connected to the Emperor's chess pieces.

'Because I linked the Emperor's chess piece with the spiritual existence of all intelligent life in the Silent Plane, I indirectly strengthened the resilience of the mental network. The arrival of the apocalypse was thus slowed down by my action. Otherwise, even with Edgar and I forming a mutually supportive ecological community, it wouldn't have been possible to prevent the apocalypse from happening for half an hour.'

Locke stepped onto the mental chessboard. "Now I finally understand what you've been up to, Omega."

“Come out, I know you can manifest here.”

Locke, seeing no reaction, sneered and stomped his foot on the chessboard. "A chessboard must have two sides, right?"

At this moment, the mental chessboard, which serves as the foundation of the mental network, suddenly flipped over, as if the heavens and earth were turning upside down, and the entire chessboard rotated.

Immediately afterwards, heaven and earth changed, and the order of things reversed.

On the other side of the Mind Chessboard, there is another chessboard, and this chessboard is also crisscrossed, with the squares forming a network.

This is a dark web of the mind.

Within this dark web of the mind, points of light appeared on the chessboard; each of those blue points of light was a spiritual light from the mortals of the silent plane.

However, these mortals seemed to be deceived at this moment, all of them were in a daze, captured by the dark web of the mind, and fell into a deep sleep.

Locke laughed and said, "The abilities of disc-shaped creatures cannot possibly assimilate with souls. You don't have that ability. So the essence of your 'assimilation' ability is that the great magic of the Mind School captures the minds of mortals and forcibly incorporates them into the Mind Network."

"In other words, your power and mental network are essentially the same."

A blue ring appeared in front of Locke.

Locke said coldly, "The reason you were able to influence me when we first met was because I was in charge of the Mind Network at the time."

"Your power was able to easily enter the Dharma Realm when I closed the gates, because I was the master of the Mind Network at that time. Therefore, you bypassed the gates of the Dharma Realm and easily entered another of my powers, the Dharma Realm, through the Mind Network."

“You could have killed me when you met me. Because I didn’t even realize that the Mind Network was your territory, Omega. Just like you killed the Duke of Westminster and the wizard Zorro.”

"am I right."

"You just wanted me and Edgar to wear each other down, so you didn't attack me and let me do as I pleased. But you didn't expect one thing: first, I would voluntarily give up the mind network. And after that, you actually lost all power to interfere with the Dharma realm."

"But at that time, I opened the gate to the Dharma Realm, so your power descended through the gate to the Dharma Realm."

"Secondly, you can no longer plot against me. Then, what you didn't expect was that Edgar and I not only didn't choose to fight each other, but instead chose to make a deal, turning our two great magics into an ecological community, which bought me the crucial half hour to find your existence."

At this moment, the blue halo emanating from Omega remained silent.

Locke smiled. "The final point is, why can you control the Mind Network? It's simple. When the wizard Zoro Rick created the Mind Network, he lacked resources, so he used that meteorite as the foundation of the Mind Network. At the same time, he... also used a part of 'you'."

Omega finally couldn't hold back any longer. "How did you know?"

Locke said, "It's inferred from all the existing clues. And proving this would be a piece of cake for a second-circle archaeology wizard."

Locke snapped his fingers, a full moon appeared, and then he used the second-circle spell [Historic Replay].

Because of the existence of legendary historical records, the reenactment of history is naturally imbued with immense magical runes.

It is the fourth second-circle spell used to construct the Moon of Evolution.

Currently, the Moon of Evolution has inserted five second-circle spell models: Fireworks, Moon Goddess's Blessing, Generational Change, Historical Reenactment, and Peach Bow and Thorn Arrow.

These five second-circle spell models, like patches, added some of the Evolution Moon's abilities.

At this moment, under the influence of historical reenactment, the truth about the Silent Dimension finally comes to light.

A meteorite appeared in the void. That meteorite was the spark of civilization spread by the wizards of the Enlightenment era. After a long period of time, that spark of civilization was finally captured by the gravity of the Silent Plane in the void.

Thus, they were pulled into the silent dimension.

However... at that moment, a disc-shaped creature, which was Omega's clone, also discovered that spark of civilization. That clone, impatient and indiscriminate, directly... crashed into it.

'Boom~'

With the massive impact of heaven and earth, the meteorite and the Omega clone that was chasing after the meteorite's tail descended together into the Silent Plane, causing a huge collision with the Silent Plane.

The meteorite is embedded underground in the Silent Plane, waiting to be unearthed by intelligent life forms in future generations.

Omega's clone, on the other hand, fell into a coma.

Therefore, Omega's clone fell into a coma and was directly disconnected from the main body, which prevented the main Omega from arriving in time.

Because it didn't know the exact location of the clone!

After the clone fell into a coma, which lasted for quite a long time, its body was eventually covered by the earth and it was buried in the ground.

Then, it was unearthed and, as a fossil, was exhibited everywhere by the people of the Silent Dimension as a rare artifact.

Later, the wizard Zorro from the Silent Dimension found it. At that time, the wizard Zorro wanted to create a mind network, but the great magic creation of the Mind School required a large amount of neural cord biological materials from advanced organisms.

The extremely resource-poor wizard Zoro set his sights on the fossil.

The wizard Zuo Luo placed his palm on the fossil and said, "What good luck. This is actually the body material of a high-level magical creature, which may have fallen into this world by chance from outside the void. I will use it and the meteorite as the foundation of my mental network."

The screen ends.

Locke looked at Omega and said, "So, you didn't come here to invade the Silent Dimension at all. At least the first time you invaded the Silent Dimension, it was for your clone. Until later, this world was sealed by the Silent Witch and later transformed into a competition arena."

"Time and time again, Omega, you always just miss your own counterpart."

"Omega, you have never been complete."

At this moment, the blue halo formed by Omega was strangely boiling, as if gas was being boiled. Despite being a halo, it resembled boiling water, producing numerous light bubbles. "You wizards have really screwed me over!"

"Damn wizard, the Silent Witch didn't discover the truth, so she couldn't have stopped me back then. A part of my body was originally in the Silent Dimension. My power can bypass the crystal wall system to descend, but my main body's power has never descended even a little bit. My main body is still outside this world!"

“But my clone is right here.”

"Back then, I was just one step away from retrieving my clone and destroying another plane along the way. But you damned wizards stopped me! Time and time again!"

"Now you've also discovered the truth."

Locke said, "So, when you said the end of the world was unstoppable, you were lying to us. In fact, the way you invaded this world was by using the mental network to pull a large number of the minds of life forms from the Silent Dimension into your dark mental network. When you killed the Emperor, you invaded the mental network without his knowledge."

"But at this moment, I can break your control over the Mind Network simply by merging the two Mind Networks. As for the other Mind Network, it is incredibly stable because I have connected everyone's spirituality with the Emperor's Pawn. In fact, I can merge the Mind Networks with just a simple operation."

"The apocalypse will be forcibly terminated because the conditions for its arrival were not met. Your true form has never even approached...this place. It was your clone that triggered the apocalypse!"

"But your clone is essentially sealed within the mental network, so as long as you release control of the mental network, the apocalypse will be paused!"

Locke suddenly realized.

"No wonder you were so furious back then that you killed the Duke of Westminster and forced the end of the world. Because the moment I transferred the master of the Mind Network to everyone in the Silent Dimension, you knew that I could easily merge the two Mind Networks."

"That's why you took such a desperate gamble."

Locke snapped his fingers. "Well then, goodbye, Omega."

Omega replied, 'No!'

Beneath the Silent Throne, Edgar turned back unwillingly, only to see not the destroyed Silent Plane, but the phantom of Omega above the Silent Plane suddenly vanish.

The entire silent plane miraculously returned to its original state.

The end of the world... disappeared.

Edgar gave him a puzzled look, his left eye narrowing slightly while his right eye widened, creating a comical expression. "What's going on? Is this the end of the world?"
