Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 369 [369] Destruction, death, vanishing, obliteration, nothingness!

"Engine power system, current output power is 32%, expected output power is 72%, ready to launch the World Destroyer Meteor Cannon."

"The Wizard Rune System currently has the following level-four rule runes activated: Level-four Lethal Rule, Level-four Fire Rule, Level-four Blaze Rule, Level-four Extinction Rule, Level-four Destruction Rule, and Level-four Power Rule."

"The launch route has been determined, spatial layering errors have been calculated, and the target location has been locked. Due to the different characteristics of the world, the Wizarding World's home planet has strong adaptability. The expected range of the World Destroyer Meteor Cannon is 1.6 million meters, penetrating about 30,000 meters underground."

The voice of the Hanged King echoed continuously, making the expressions of the many wizards in the controlled area particularly interesting.

Even inside the fortress, one could feel the accumulation of that extremely destructive energy; even a trace of it would be enough to obliterate them.

This is genuine power belonging to the high-level realm of wizards.

The legendary power of rules!!

From the writhing, fleshy ground, black eyeballs sprouted, yet they emitted a red projection light, reflecting the situation at the headquarters of the Dark Lands, as well as some scenes within the Dark Lands.

"Damn it, the Underdark is really destroyed. Everything has been ruined by this resurrected old thing." The Mech Wizard's eyes widened instantly.

The wizard Yi Si clenched his fists tightly. He saw the skeleton of the white bone wizard, and he was absolutely certain that he was right. There were still the robes and insignia on the body.

At this moment, both apprentice wizards and formal wizards were dominated by an emotion: anger, hatred, and an urgent need to vent it.

The Dark Wizard took a deep breath. Even though he had some expectations, he still couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion when he actually saw the state of the Dark Lands—its desolation, gloom, and deathly silence.

"Teacher!" Polaris reached out and placed her hand against the back of the Ghostly Wizard. The sensation she felt was a slight tremor.

So many years have passed in the Underdark. The Underdark holds everything familiar, something we strive for and depend on.

It could be said that most of the wizards present had spent their lives in the Underdark.

Their gazes fell upon the black-robed wizard standing at the forefront, his back ramrod straight, his physique well-proportioned, and radiating an aura of power. The black and white raven on his shoulder seemed to sense something, turning its grey-black pupils to glance back.

Wang Ya's expression was calm, seemingly neither happy nor sad, but the dark light in his eyes flickered, revealing that he too was moved.

Hans Christian Andersen!!

His gaze sharpened for a moment.

Lando the Wizard didn't seem too moved, reverting to his usual lazy demeanor as he surveyed the interior of the fortress with a mixture of curiosity and shock.

Yes, it was a shock.

Unlike others who were ignorant of the value of things, he stayed in the bubble world because he needed to rest after exhausting himself during the process of unlocking the fortress.

They did not learn of the existence of the Conquest Fortress immediately.

The fortress, capable of withstanding the World-Destroying Meteor Cannon, and its distinctly ancient interior, confirmed that this was a wizarding frontline station that existed since the legendary era, specifically used for invading the world and seizing the fruits of civilization.

Every function exists to serve the war effort, and even the spirit of the fortress itself yearns for war.

He clicked his tongue, glanced at Wang Ya's figure with a meaningful look in his eyes, as if he had thought of something.

It seems that the person who hired the tutor had been preparing for this for a long time.

Even if the Dark Lands truly disappear, relying on the existence of the Conquest Fortress, he can still obtain resources for cultivation, and even break free from constraints, like a bird soaring freely in the vast sky and sea, to explore more civilized worlds and even acquire resources from different worlds.

A slight smile curved his lips. To him, the deeper Wang Ya's strength and foundation, the better. If he could really drive this conquest fortress to the Heavenly Realm... His eyes turned cold, as if he had thought of something, and his killing intent was chilling.

Wang Ya noticed something and glanced back at him.

Lando the Wizard looked up with a lazy smile, stretched out his hands slightly, and chuckled, "Incredible, Teacher Nightmare. The existence of the World Destroyer Meteor Cannon is enough to give you combat power comparable to a level four wizard, or even reach the level five."

Wang Ya said calmly, "Perhaps, but ultimately they are external things. The power that one controls oneself is the true power."

Lando the Wizard bowed slightly and said with shame, "This student has learned a lot. Teacher Nightmare is right to teach me."

"Only power that one can master is true power, and it will not be affected by any external things."

Wang Ya: "."

This disciple, though cheaply acquired, is not simple in terms of background and identity; he seems to know many secrets.

However, considering the twenty-nine wizard contracts he had signed with them, he felt he could still trust them; at least the existence of the Conquest Fortress gave him some confidence.

Beyond the World Destroyer Meteor Cannon, the Conquest Fortress's weapon system also includes the mass production of flesh and blood biological weapons, the production of biological infection viruses, the transcendent extinction virus, and the calibration stargate teleportation core, which can perform long-distance particle energy teleportation that can traverse countless worlds.

The spacetime anchor point breaking function means that if Wang Yaruo obtains the coordinates of outer space nodes in other worlds through some means, he can build a channel between the two worlds through the star gate teleportation core, thereby launching a world invasion.

Everything about conquering fortresses exists for the purpose of plunder and war.

Lando the Wizard lowered his gaze slightly and sighed inwardly.

This statement is absolutely correct; only the power that one controls oneself is true power.

If he hadn't relied on any external aids when he broke through, but instead believed in himself and relied on his own abilities, perhaps he wouldn't have fallen into someone else's trap.

What a celestial being! Yet he died in the end because of a mere tribulation-crossing artifact.

Lando the Wizard chuckled to himself with a self-deprecating smile.

"Reporting to Master, the World Destroyer Meteor Cannon is ready and has entered firing mode. The duration is 30 seconds. If this time is exceeded, the firing trajectory will need to be recalculated. At the same time, some of the accumulated energy will be consumed, the rule runes will be further worn down, and the World Destroyer Meteor Cannon's complete condition will decrease."

The King of Hanging's voice came, and Wang Ya felt, whether it was his imagination or not, that the King of Hanging's voice carried a kind of excitement.

It was as if launching a world-destroying meteor cannon was an unprecedentedly exhilarating experience for him.

Wang Ya ignored these trivial matters, his gaze fixed on the figure of Hans Christian Andersen on the projected image, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

To kill Hans Christian Andersen, he paid the price of the entire Deep Blue Mystery world.

Although the power of the rules in the Book of All Things has been collected back.

However, for Wang Ya, the world core, which also had great value, and even the world embryo, became part of the energy filling the World Annihilation Meteor Cannon.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to fully charge the engine energy core of the conquest fortress in just one day.

He lost the opportunity to refine a batch of high-quality legendary potions.

"Those old things that have fallen into the past should just die peacefully and shouldn't come out and cause trouble again."

Wang Ya's tone was chilling as he swung his right hand down sharply, "Send Andersen on his way."

As the words fell, everyone sensed a change in the entire conquest fortress.

This change was extremely violent; it was a tremor that was occurring even within the walls of flesh and blood. An invisible pressure was pressing down on everyone's hearts, their blood and qi began to surge, and their skin immediately turned red.

"My very soul is trembling." The withered wood wizard's face was filled with horror, and the energy of the withered wood particles subconsciously protected himself.

The apprentice wizards were already lying on the ground, panting heavily, covered in sweat, and some had even fainted.

A massive amount of particle energy poured out through the pipes, converged at the cannon muzzle, and unleashed a world-destroying meteor cannon.

Great horror!

An unprecedented terror gripped Andersen's mind.

This feeling came extremely suddenly, yet was very clear; it was a sense of crisis powerful enough to kill him and destroy everything.

Are you kidding me!

What happened?!

Hans Christian Andersen's face paled, his terror emanating from his very bones. "The World Star Council has arrived? They've discovered me?"

If this is true, it would be the worst thing ever.

Taking a deep breath, Andersen felt a sense of fear.

No, I have to leave this place quickly. If the members of the World Star Council come, given his current condition, there's only one outcome.

That's death!!

Hans Christian Andersen looked around as the energy from the earth's veins flowed continuously into his Dark True Body. His face showed resentment; he was just a hair's breadth away from meeting the standard to manipulate the power of the rules.

The chains of metal fragments from the ethereal cube, which firmly sealed off the void and were embedded within it, began to sway strangely at this moment.

Hans Christian Andersen paused for a moment, realizing something was wrong. The surrounding spatial dimensions had been affected, and multiple dimensions, including the deep space, were all being impacted by a force.

Finally, he realized the specific situation and looked up at the sky.

Under the influence of his power, the sky remained gray and lifeless, devoid of any vitality or abnormality.

Hans Christian Andersen frowned; he noticed nothing unusual.

The weakening of his soul power also caused his perception to decline. In particular, to maintain the stability of his Dark True Body, even the soul power of a Level Two Star Wizard might be stronger than his.

He frowned, his expression strange, and muttered to himself, "Something's not right. This feeling is so familiar, like I've felt it somewhere before, but it's been so long that I can't quite remember."

Suddenly, he saw a light in the sky. The light was very faint, but it was real and was growing larger. He could see it with his eyesight.

Andersen, his expression as if he'd seen a ghost, screamed, "World-Destroying Meteor Cannon!!"

He finally remembered. In his ancient memories, he had experienced this feeling many times. It came from the legendary, infamous weapon of mass destruction, the "World-Destroying Meteor Cannon," locking onto a target, calculating the launch trajectory, and determining multiple spatial layers. It eliminated any possible launch mishaps; once the target was locked and the calculations were complete, the selected target had absolutely no chance of escape.

"Go to hell! Which bastard used the World Destroyer Meteor Cannon against me?" His face turned green instantly. He immediately understood that the unease, fear, and sense of crisis he felt just now were the World Destroyer Meteor Cannon's locking calculation process.

"A madman, a fucking madman. Using the World Destroyer Meteor Cannon on the Wizarding World's home planet, those guys from the World Star Council will definitely go crazy. I'm about to go crazy too." Without any hesitation, Andersen entered his Dark True Body and then shrank to a height of two meters.

He grabbed the void with both hands and tore it apart violently, creating a spatial rift. He flew into it, and a black storm rushed towards him, but he ignored it, letting the high concentration of particles on his body be blown away.

It kept tearing at the void in front of it, entering a deeper level of space.

The deeper the space, the more powerful the void storm, and the greater the possibility of getting lost in it.

There is also a certain chance that escaping the space where the Dark Land is located is the only way for a powerful wizard to cross the endless continent and travel to other places by relying on his own strength.

"Damn it, faster, faster, you bastard! You've even brought out the World Destroying Meteor Cannon. You're a madman. Who is this madman who's so crazy?"

Andersen's voice, sharp with emotion and fear, screamed wildly through the spatial layers. His hands moved in a blur, tearing apart layers of space, yet he still felt no sense of security.

The World Destroying Meteor Cannon has already locked on, and his current actions may also be within the calculation range. No matter what effort he makes, it is not too much. He must escape as far, far, and as far as possible!

Only he knew just how terrifying the power of the World Destroyer Meteor Cannon was.

One shot can wipe out a world—this is not a joke, it's a real fact.

If it's the highest grade World-Destroying Meteor Cannon, it can even destroy an entire world with a single shot.

His mind was a complete mess; he couldn't understand who the bastard who had locked onto him and used the World-Destroying Meteor Cannon on him could be.

If it were his former enemies who sensed his impending return, they would simply attack him; he would have no chance of resisting.

Even members of the World Council of Stars can possess such power.

The World Destroyer Meteor Cannon is a strategic weapon in the Wizarding World, and it was sealed away and discontinued during the legendary era.

To fire cannons on the Wizarding World's home planet is insane; even Hans Christian Andersen wouldn't do something like that.

Who could it be? A figure inexplicably appeared in Andersen's mind, dressed in a black wizard's robe, wearing a mask made of dark metal, with a black and white raven perched on his shoulder. It was he who used the ethereal cube to seal his true form, which led to the deterioration of the situation.

Impossible, absolutely not those ants.

Hans Christian Andersen rejected this conjecture.

The World-Destroying Meteor Cannon is something that the wizards in the outer regions could never know about. It is estimated that only the most elite wizards in the inner regions would know a thing or two about it.

What right did those ants have to access such a strategic magical artifact?

Absolutely not worthy!!

Chi Chi!

A faint sound reached Andersen's ears, and a look of fear appeared in his eyes.

It's here! The destructive power of the rules from the World-Destroying Meteor Cannon is here!

Blinding white light emanated from every corner of the space he was in.

"No, this shouldn't be happening! My plans, my return shouldn't be ruined! I should succeed... No!!"

Hans Christian Andersen's body was directly engulfed by the white light, but his hands were still gripping the spatial layer. With his last bit of strength, he tore open a gap, as if trying to grasp that last chance of life.

However, despair soon appeared on his face.

White light burst forth from the torn gap in the spatial layer, like surging seawater, squeezing through the shallow gap and completely engulfing Andersen.

The absolute destructive energy of the rules annihilated everything, almost instantly killing his physical body, soul, and consciousness completely, leaving no trace.

Then came the destruction of multiple spatial barriers, resulting in disordered overlap and impact of space, which was then obliterated by the energy of the rules, becoming absolute nothingness. At this moment, even the spatial storm was obliterated, as if the physical and spatial rules of the Wizarding World itself were temporarily erased, leaving only the rule definitions determined by the energy of the rules released by the World Destroyer Meteor Cannon.

Destruction, death, vanishing, obliteration, nothingness!

This area is now only defined by these rules, spanning between illusion and reality. No matter what level of existence it is, it will be defined, and its existence has become part of the definition.

Centered on the entire Dark Land headquarters, a million-meter radius around it was filled with white light. All physical matter disappeared, leaving only absolute emptiness and nothingness.

Reaching a depth of 30,000 meters, it could see the underground of the Wizarding World's home planet, including geological layers of different colors and the dissipating ley line energy. However, it disappeared the moment it came into contact with the area of ​​white light.

This is only the reality. In deeper spaces, whether it be dream space, elemental space, shadow space, or any other multi-layered space, all have disappeared, and the life matter that existed within them has also disappeared.

Extremely far above the heavens, in a space beyond the perception and observation of even a Level Two Star Wizard or a Level Three Moon Wizard.

The particle force field created by the conquest fortress forcibly stabilized the surrounding death winds, unstable spatial layers, and even resisted stronger rays from the universe.

Even a level three Moonlit Wizard would suffer a devastating blow if they appeared in this area, and if their level were to rise further, they would be in danger of perishing.

The Conquest Fortress, however, is not affected in this way. As long as it has sufficient energy, it can even traverse dangerous outer space to plunder civilizations around the world.

"This is really... Nightmare Wizard, this is a bit too exaggerated, too outrageous." Kazeantun stared wide-eyed at the content on the projection screen, almost dumbfounded.

This was a power he could not comprehend, even beyond his understanding of witchcraft, the world, and wizards.

There were many wizards who reacted in the same way as him, not only apprentice wizards, but even the formal wizarding community was extremely shocked, and their bodies were trembling.

"With such power, even a touch of white light energy would probably cause it to vanish just like the land and void of the Dark Land." The mechanical body of the Machine God Wizard was emitting the sound of a normal person's heart pounding violently. His eyes were fixed on the projected image, and then he looked at Wang Ya's back.

With such power, a Nightmare Wizard could probably roam freely throughout the entire wizarding world.

A burning desire appeared in his eyes. The Dream Wizard had produced an unprecedented being. Perhaps he could become a legendary figure like the wizards of the legendary era, leaving a significant mark on the history of the wizarding world.

The Ghostlight Wizard and the Deadwood Wizard were also in a state of extreme emotional turmoil, and they also thought of this matter. Looking at Wang Ya's back, their eyes were full of brilliance.

Lando the wizard rubbed his stiff cheeks and closed his wide-open mouth. This power had already surpassed the level of his previous life.

Even if one becomes a true immortal, one might not be able to resist and could only flee in a sorry state.

He had only heard of the power of the World-Destroying Meteor Cannon, but he did not expect it to be so terrifying. Even now, if he were to take the Conquest Fortress to rule the Heavenly Realm, he would be able to dominate a region.

All his past grudges and hatreds can be wiped out with a single shot.

Lando the Wizard's eyes were burning with passion.

He even hugged Wang Ya's leg, looked up at the face that didn't show much expression, and said with utmost sincerity, "Teacher Nightmare, I think we can drive the Conquest Fortress and go to rule the Heavenly Realm next. What do you think?"

P.S.: One more chapter, around 1:30 PM. I'm still 4,500 words short of 10,000. I'll keep writing; I have to finish it, I absolutely can't let you guys down.
