A mage? A spell engineer!

Chapter 588 seems too urbanized.

The two crossed the portal and arrived at the high ground near Opfer, the front line.

Richard's presence had one advantage—he was a high-ranking officer in the Imperial Army. Upon arriving on the high ground, his uniform significantly reduced the soldiers' surprise.

"Sir." A junior officer rushed up to Richard and saluted. Richard asked him to take him to the highest-ranking commander in the area.

Yes, it is.

"In this direction, right? Okay." After receiving the guidance, he grabbed the junior officer and rushed straight to the command post, simultaneously using [Radio Communication] to broadcast a message.

The public frequency, which had just been pushed by the magic-suppressing field, was unusually quiet, with only the noise caused by the fluctuations of environmental magic. Richard used string magic to forcefully penetrate the noise and report the current situation, ordering all accompanying mages who received the information to organize the evacuation.

Rorschach then located Kober and Feuerbach and rushed over.

They were near the front lines of the magical tsunami and were still recovering. Their expressions were grave, both because the chaotic magical energy within them was making them feel unwell, and because Opfer's condition was far from optimistic.

There was a landslide in front of us.

This is not merely referring to the original buildings collapsing into ruins, nor simply to the ground sinking downwards, but rather the collapse of the "material world" into illusion. The shadow of Opfel's past is pulled here, overlapping with the already destroyed city.

Like a poorly rendered block, the space here begins to fragment, and the edges and gaps between the fragments are a dark and sticky abyss.

Countless shadowy dark creatures lurk in the crevices. Their presence is extremely faint. After an emergency bombardment, they dared not spread recklessly, but now they are ready to spread the glory of the Great Mother to the Prime Material Plane.

Rorschach sensed that there were similar places deep within the Shadowlands, but the Shadow Cities were the "back side of the main world," and now these rifts were exposed to the "bright daylight," allowing them to exist stably and spread slowly.

In the heart of the fallen land, an oval-shaped building stands, covered with a thin membrane and veins that pulsate with an ominous aura.

However, it is worth noting that it is not complete.

Coubert, still recovering from his embarrassment, explained to Rorschach upon his arrival, "An egg materialized in our world, but it was interrupted by the attack earlier and didn't fully infiltrate. However..."

"But there's already something inside." Rorschach clearly felt the chaotic "pulse," and something ominous had survived the magical shrieks.

"Master Colbert, you and Richard, the mage we met before, helped evacuate the ordinary people. Master Feuerbach and I will try to figure out how to deal with it."

"Alright, young friend, be careful."

Feuerbach, who had been silently gazing at the city ruins, suddenly spoke up: "Don't use nature magic here."

Kober's lips twitched slightly, but this time it wasn't a hearty smile. He replied, "Of course I know. Heh, the Forest Tower doesn't only produce one kind of magic."

After saying that, he disappeared from Rorschach and Feuerbach's side.

The ruins were relatively calm after the second round of "Bomb No. 1". Richard's decision was decisive and correct, at least preventing a large number of fresh lives from being swallowed up by the pollution and turned into food to nourish Mother Goddess.

Furthermore, this allowed the archmage providing reinforcements to proceed relatively calmly. Feuerbach sought the young man's opinion: "What ideas do you have?"

"Let's use Oward's magic again. Let's see if we can completely remove it."

"What if we can't?"

"Purify it, then use the anti-magic device to suppress this leak."

"Okay, but this method can't always be applicable."

The idea is for Rorschach to perform "super art" again, and then construct anti-magic devices on this land to suppress the power before it gathers and infiltrates.

However, this is not a long-term solution. If infiltration occurs in more areas in the future, especially in densely populated cities, will all of them be subject to nuclear nukes?

Narosha seems to be going a bit too far; he didn't come to this other world to promote de-urbanization.

Wait a minute, upon closer examination, it's because the urban population density is too high, and there's enough concentrated energy and faith power, making it easy for religious groups to infiltrate and arrange rituals. So, although the religious groups have developed rapidly in rural areas, the several attempts at "login" to the Mother Goddess have all been carried out in big cities.

So no, no, no, you can't think like that.

After eliminating the erroneous thoughts in his mind, Rorschach and Feuerbach discussed the implementation details.

He can't just snap his fingers to create a nuclear bomb; he needs to go to the outer reaches of the world to create an avatar of "Axiom Creation" made of transmutation dust. In fact, it's a high-energy clone that acts as a humanoid, self-propelled nuclear bomb.

In addition, it will take time to transfer the new anti-magic devices from Byrne.

Hearing that Rorschach needed to complete the massive destructive spell with meticulous preparation, Feuerbach secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After inquiring about some details of Rorschach's "super art magic," he decided on his next move.

"Since your magic cannot guarantee the destruction of the spatial fragments, we must first rebuild it. Now, Upfer is already sliding into a special realm, which means it will fall into the 'embrace' of the Mother Goddess."

"Let's stop this process first."

Rorschach had already separated a wisp of his soul, which was pulled by the Tree of Law into the borderland to condense into an avatar, while his main body, together with Feuerbach, cautiously ventured into the core of the cataclysm.

Once they entered the area of ​​the original city site, the magic and even the physical rules were distorted. The direction of the wind and the propagation of light were disordered. Correspondingly, their hearing and vision were immediately interfered with. The broken and overlapping things they saw from the outside world now seemed like paint splashed into water, flowing and tangling together.

Instead, Arcane Vision is enhanced, and what you see is no longer an abstract ball of light, but an extremely dazzling scene, as if the illusory is the real.

The two were surrounded by structures that resembled both buildings and tall trees, with various strange plants and constantly changing and recombining animals. They cautiously made way for the two intruders, and each time they passed a fragment, the creatures and colors within it changed dramatically.

However, one thing remains unchanged: at the center of all the illusions is a broken egg, and what exists inside, just like Feuerbach, has recovered from the magical tsunami and is twitching and climbing outwards.

It crawled out, and you could still see its slender body and limbs. Its head was completely disfigured, with only a patch of irregularly distributed glitter between its mouthparts and the top of its head, reflecting the figure of the newcomer—perhaps that was its compound eye.

Its mouthparts are filled with rings of teeth, and outside there is a pair of jaws, from which a long, curled, and bright red strip of flesh can extend as a tongue.

The monster was covered in gray skin and had a visible skeleton, similar to an insect's exoskeleton.

It can be said to be a failed fabrication, combining characteristics of many organisms without any consideration for its consistency. These characteristics were forcibly combined into the appearance of an upright intelligent life form, and its existence is nothing short of blasphemy against the Creator.

The strange "gaggaggag" sound came from its body. Upon closer inspection, it was found to be coming from several rows of small holes extending from the base of its limbs, its ribs, and the sides of its abdomen.

It tried to make a sound with its own throat but found it couldn't, so it used the holes in its body to make some noise.

"If it were to grow wings or something, I'd really throw up," Rorschach said to Feuerbach after getting goosebumps.

Then the monster that crawled out of the egg spread out two pairs of wet, sticky wings. The veins of the wings gradually filled with bodily fluid before they opened up the transparent wing membranes.

Feuerbach glanced at Rorschach sideways, his expression clearly saying: Start throwing up.

"Ugh." Rorschach gagged a few times perfunctorily. "All done vomiting? Let's fight."
