Chapter 447 Devastating Superpower Crystal Mine

The Tower of Eternity floats silently in the void, about 500,000 kilometers away from the planet below.

Inside the control room of the tower, Ian stood in front of the crystal wall, his eyes slightly closed.

The upgraded probe array is penetrating the planet's surface at maximum power, penetrating deep into the crust and mantle, and even reaching the Earth's core.

The towering figure reported: "Deep exploration in progress—penetrating the surface bio-force field interference—analyzing the energy spectrum—matching the characteristics of a super-energy crystal—"

"Report to Master: In the core region of the target planet, there exists a large primary vein of super-energy crystals, mainly located at the boundary between the core and the lower mantle, extending to a depth of over one thousand kilometers."

Ian opened his eyes and looked at the screen. Based on the energy density and spectral characteristics, he estimated that the total reserves of super-energy crystals in the Purple Mist World were about two hundred to five hundred times greater.

Associated minerals account for approximately 0.03% to 0.05% of the main vein's reserves.

With such a large mineral deposit, even someone as composed as him couldn't help but feel his breathing quicken slightly.

The total reserves of super-energy crystals in the Purple Mist World are about fifty tons, with about three hundred kilograms of associated minerals. This was his greatest source of wealth before.

The core of this shattered planet may contain 10,000 to 15,000 tons of super-energy crystals, and even the purple associated minerals weigh at least three tons!

Although the bulk of the proceeds from mining must be handed over to the Wizarding Alliance, the miners also enjoy 20% of the profits.

This is a terrifying number that would drive even the Throne of the Sun crazy; it is enough to serve as a strategic reserve resource for the wizarding civilization!

This is just one secondary resource point; there will only be two more. No wonder the Alliance leadership is willing to launch a civilization-level war to seize the Zerg territory.

"This Zerg territory is truly prosperous!" Ian muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming.

This one gain alone is enough to make his future advancement to the sixth level of Bright Sun countless times smoother.

But this incredible treasure is not something everyone is qualified to covet. In the face of the ferocious Void Zerg, it's already a blessing if they don't get plundered by them.

Ian turned his gaze to the outside of the crystal wall, where the densely packed Zerg units in the planet's orbit almost completely obscured the starlight.

Besides the regular Zerg, he noticed a Zerg that resembled a giant jellyfish, with a ghostly blue psionic energy flowing across its body.

They are called Psionic Disruptors, and they specialize in blocking signals and disrupting energy attacks.

In the sea of ​​insects, more than three hundred level-four mother nests, like floating mountains, slowly wriggled.

As the intelligence indicated, there was no sign of a level 5 mother hive here.

"Twenty million Zerg, more than three hundred level-four mother hives—even without breaking through, I can wipe them out with a flick of my wrist."

Now that his soul essence has condensed, his dual cores of sun and moon have undergone a transformation, his domain of rules has undergone a qualitative change, and he is further empowered by the fifteen-fold amplification of the Tower of Eternity, he dares to confront even a level six Mother Nest head-on.

"Tower Spirit, lock all Level 4 Mother Nest coordinates, prioritizing units that are close to potential entrances/exits of the mineral veins and those with unusually active psionic responses."

The "Soul Shockwave" array began charging, initiating soul annihilation. The secondary artillery array stood by, using non-destructive firepower to cripple the Zerg's mobility, with a focus on eliminating psionic disruptors.

"Yes, Master. Target marked. Soul Shockwave Array is beginning to charge. Estimated charging time: 5.2 seconds."

Ian waited no longer, his will sinking into the depths of his spiritual sea.

A golden-red sun with a diameter of 5,000 kilometers and a blood moon that stretches for a thousand miles both shone brightly at the same time.

Without any fancy moves, a vast and boundless power of rules erupted from him.

Through the amplification matrix of the Tower of Eternity, a vast spherical domain with a radius of one million kilometers, like an invisible giant bowl, completely covers the entire planet and its outer orbit!

Within the domain, golden-red and blood-red light flowed silently.

On the left, the temperature soared instantly in the void; on the right, the light was eerily distorted and dimmed, and gravity was disordered.

In the more critical areas, some fundamental rule parameters were forcibly distorted by Ian.

Energy transfer efficiency is suppressed, bioelectrical signals are interfered with, and the hardness of the Zerg's carapace gradually decreases.

This is a manifestation of the Moonlit Wizard's deeper control over the rules—within the domain, I am the rule!

"The sun and moon shine together, purifying everything." The calm voice was like the pronouncement of death.

On the orbit, tens of millions of Zerg units faced annihilation in an instant.

Gray ripples containing the rules of "dream" and "purification" spread out in all directions.

Those ferocious Zerg units, whether the heavily armored Fortress Bugs or the agile Shadowwing Bugs, froze instantly when swept by the silvery-white ripples.

The light of their souls in their compound eyes vanished instantly, their massive bodies stiffened in place, and they floated in the void.

Even the most troublesome "psychic disruptors" had their psychic cores silently destroyed.

This is a precise harvesting of the soul's consciousness, preserving complete biomass materials and making energy consumption relatively controllable.

With just three ripples, the sea of ​​millions of insects that had previously obscured the starlight in the orbit was completely swept away.

"Next up are the mother nests."

Ian's gaze locked onto the solitary Level 4 mother nests. Thick, dark purple psionic shields rose from their bodies, and they frantically secreted viscous biomass gel to reinforce themselves, attempting to resist the erosion of the domain of rules.

Some mother nests even began to shrink inward, preparing to abandon parts of their bodies and escape with their cores, just like the level 5 mother nests outside the Purple Mist World back then.

Seeing this, Ian sneered, "Soul Shockwave, fire."

A deep blue light suddenly shone from the side of the Eternal Tower, and silent shockwaves shot precisely towards dozens of Mother Nests.

The hive struck by the shockwave trembled violently, its psionic shield flickered, and the hive consciousness within it rapidly dissipated.

Their massive bodies remained undamaged, but their command brains were destroyed, turning them into a mindless aggregate of biomass.

"Target awareness erased. Preparation time for the next attack is 6.3 seconds."

Ian remained expressionless, maneuvering the Tower of Eternity nimbly within its domain.

The "Soul Shockwave" was fired in succession, like a precise scalpel; each time it lit up, it inevitably silenced a level four mother hive.

He doesn't attack randomly; he prioritizes targeting mother nests that might damage the ore vein, as well as those with abnormal fluctuations that might contain rare variants or special gene templates.

The complete bodies of these mother nests are of greater value to Kerrigan for research and consumption.

This was a one-sided massacre.

In less than ten minutes, the entire planet fell into a deathly silence.

Ian showed no mercy; his goal was clear: to capture resource points and mine the veins.

"Taling, activate the biological sample capture array to lure and retrieve all Zerg."

On the surface of the Eternal Tower, a silvery-white force field descended, dragging all the floating Zerg corpses toward the capture pod.

As beams of guiding light descended, the planet, which had been twisted and grotesque just moments before, was now spotless.

Ian slowly withdrew his domain of rules. "Scan the planet's surface to find the best entrance to the mineral vein and establish a location for an outpost."

"The geological structure of the planet's south pole region is stable. There are natural crustal fissures three thousand meters below, and the vertical distance to the main ore vein is about eight hundred kilometers. It is recommended to establish the main mining base here."

"Very good. Landing."

The Tower of Eternity transformed into a stream of light, piercing through the thin atmosphere and hovering tens of thousands of meters above the planet's south polar region.

Ian took a step forward, his figure appearing in the void outside the tower, with a writhing dark purple fungal carpet beneath his feet and a nauseating stench filling the air.

He didn't appreciate the conquered land; he went straight to work.

First, he needs to set up a "planetary-level mining and refining array", which is different from any array he has set up before. Its scale and complexity are incomparable.

With a wave of his hand, Ian unleashed a large quantity of high-grade materials from the Tower of Eternity.

The power of the sun's core rapidly melted and refined materials, while spiritual energy transformed into a carving knife, beginning to outline the runic structure in the void.

He drew out and wove the threads of rules, integrating them into the framework of the witch array.

At the same time, he ordered the Tower to release a large number of Zerg engineers to begin clearing the creep, leveling the land, digging tunnels, and building simple fortifications and supply depots.

The entire planet quickly turned into a giant construction site.

Ian was like a master architect, using the void as a scroll and rules as ink to construct a vast magical array capable of mining the mineral veins of an entire planet.

"With the mineral veins in these three resource points, my Path of Radiant Sun will no longer have to worry about resources."

As Ian inscribed the runes, his eyes were filled with an unprecedented fervor and ambition.

For all the wizards, the greatest reward of this war of civilizations may not be military achievements, but these astonishing treasures.
