Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

In the chaotic mist, Aldrick stretched out his right hand, a silvery-white light shining from his fingertips, trying to illuminate everything around him.

But the light began to fade the moment it left his fingertips, as if something had absorbed the color and clarity of its edges.

Finally, the light disappeared completely.

Aldrick could sense that the power of that light was being continuously consumed, slowly stripped away by the power of chaos.

He withdrew his hand and mentally considered several possible responses.

First, store and seal the power of chaos.

If it can be sealed, this massive amount of chaotic power will be extremely valuable research material.

But the power of chaos is different from other energies. It has no fixed form, and any container it comes into contact with will be dissolved or assimilated by it. He did not have a suitable carrier at hand.

Second, open a spatial passage to direct the fog elsewhere.

However, the energy field here has been polluted by the power of chaos, the spatial structure is unstable, and spatial channels cannot be formed.

Third, destroy the formation, release the mist, reduce the concentration of chaotic energy, and let it dissipate completely.

If it is released, it will inevitably have an impact on the surrounding area, and may even have an impact on the entire world.

Tough, tough...

Finally, Aldrick seemed to have come to a realization and continued forward in the fog.

He planned to destroy the array in several non-critical areas first, like releasing a flood, and slowly release the power of chaos to minimize the losses.

As for the residents of those areas, they can only pray for their own good fortune.

As they continued forward, the fog grew thicker and thicker.

The grayish-white mist surrounding Aldrick tried to erode the intruder, but it was separated from his body by a thin layer of silvery-white light when it came into contact with his body surface.

The edges of the light film are slowly thinning, but it has not yet penetrated.

His gaze swept over the churning mist, sensing the energy structure and flow direction contained within it.

The distribution of chaotic energy is not uniform.

The concentration was higher in some areas, the fog flowed faster and was darker in color, as if the core of some structure was constantly operating.

His direction was towards those areas.

A moment later, Aldrick's senses seemed to touch something.

That was...the aura of a living being?

This layer of mist is composed of chaotic power. In theory, all matter should be assimilated, not to mention life, even matter and energy should be decomposed and assimilated.

But that being remained somewhere deep within that grayish-white area.

The presence of that entity neither deliberately concealed itself nor actively approached; it simply remained there, seemingly waiting for something.

Aldrick's heart skipped a beat.

It's...that little mouse?!

With that thought in mind, he no longer hesitated, quickened his pace, and flew straight towards the source of the sensation.

He passed through layers of churning, grayish-white mist, which briefly parted as he passed, only to regroup behind him.

He sensed that he was getting closer to that being, and the distance was constantly decreasing.

He continued flying forward, and a few hundred meters ahead of him, deep within the grayish-white mist, a huge silhouette was slowly emerging.

The outline was clearer than the surrounding mist, as if some enormous creature stood in the chaotic mist, waiting for him to approach.

A moment later, Aldrick appeared before Lynn and the Chaos Dragon.

The mist slowly swirled between the two.

Aldrick stopped about twenty steps away from Lynn, his body hovering in mid-air. The grayish-white mist beneath his feet parted to the sides after he came to a stop, and then slowly closed again.

His gaze moved from Lynn's face to Lynn's dark purple wizard's robe, lingered for a moment on the holy mark on his right chest, and finally landed on the chaotic dragon at his feet.

"You're...a wizard?!"

Although the sentence was a question, Aldrick's tone was exceptionally certain.

The Chaos Dragon raised its head slightly, its golden pupils looking in Aldrick's direction, without uttering a sound.

Lynn stood atop the head of the Chaos Giant Dragon, slightly surprised.

This old fellow is quite knowledgeable; he actually knows about wizards!

However, since they were able to cultivate to the equivalent of the peak of "Saint Mark", they must have been to many places and their experience is naturally extraordinary.

Lynn met his gaze:

"You have good insight. I always thought you were a local tyrant in this world, unaware of the vastness of the outside world."

Aldrick's lips twitched slightly.

"Over the years, in order to advance the world, I have often wandered outside. In order to collect World Stones, I have been to many small worlds."

"I encountered a few wizards along the way, but they weren't too strong. I got some information from them and also learned about you wizards and the wizarding world."

"In the end, they all became materials for my alchemy."

"You know what, every wizard's body and soul are excellent alchemical materials, especially in terms of compatibility with certain rules."

Lynn remained unmoved upon hearing that Aldrick had dealt with several wizards.

He himself was an expert at manipulating corpses and souls, so he didn't find it cruel and agreed with Aldrick's words.

Wizards are indeed excellent material.

Seeing that Lynn didn't react, Aldrick spoke again.

"I admit that your wizarding world is very powerful."

"But your possessiveness is too strong. We don't want our world to be discovered by you. To guard against you, I have set up a hidden alchemy array on the outer perimeter of the world."

At this point, Aldrick sighed slightly.

"I originally thought that things would remain peaceful, allowing me to advance to the Alchemy Sage level with peace of mind."

"Even if your wizarding world discovers it, I will be able to protect the safety of the Alchemy World."

"Unexpectedly, during the World Ascension Ceremony, you happened to find an opening when the barrier was at its weakest."

Lynn didn't say anything; it was indeed too much of a coincidence.

If other Stigmata Wizards came here, even if they knew the world coordinates, they would have a hard time discovering this world.

He had wondered before why a medium-sized world could be hidden so well in the void, but now he understood.

So they were deliberately avoiding them, these wizards.

Aldrick continued, "Your Excellency goes to such lengths, surely to conquer this world? Then why commit so much bloodshed? The people here are all innocent."

Lynn stood on the dragon's back:

"Why? Naturally, it's to facilitate my conquest of the world. If I can't weaken your power, how can I possibly subdue you?"

Aldrick was silent for a few moments, then said, "To harm the common people for one's own selfish gain—what a selfish and self-serving wizard!"

Lynn did not deny it; instead, she nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Aldrick is right. Wizards are indeed selfish, using their power to constantly invade other worlds.

But are these alchemists noble?

The essence of alchemy is "equivalent exchange." If you don't plunder resources, why would you exchange them with your own body?

It's simply a matter of the strong preying on the weak; that has always been the law of the universe.
