Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 418 [418] The White Mist Reappears, the Mastermind Revealed

"The King of the Mountain has been stopped. What is that? A stone statue? No, it's a wizard puppet, a wizard puppet that can rival the King Beast."

The wizard apprentices were shocked; this was beyond their expectations. They had imagined that the Nightmare Wizard would personally take action to suppress the ferocious beast.

Unexpectedly, it was a stone statue that emerged and unleashed astonishing power.

Without the protection of the magic array, the aftershocks of the energy collision would likely have annihilated them.

"I know, this is from back then." Some wizards who had experienced the calamity of the Underdark recognized the Underdark wizard puppet, then fell silent.

That experience is a shadow in the hearts of many, and an unspeakable shame.

The prevailing opinion is also to reduce discussion of certain aspects of that period.

We are now in a new era, an era that belongs to the spirit of conquest.

"Doesn't that mean that we have the combat power of three Star Wizards? No, adding Nightmare Wizard herself, our fighting spirit in terms of top-tier combat power is already on par with that of extraordinary beings?"

Maintaining an air of mystery and unknown is something wizards always do.

Heart of Conquest is a wizarding faction with many members, but it cannot be guaranteed that all members are devoted to the faction itself, nor can it be certain that everyone is without problems.

After what happened in the Dark Land, Wang Ya was already quite wary.

Only members of the Cataclysm who bear the Nightmare Mark are truly one of us and can gain his trust. Regarding the Sunlight Lamp, and even the Netherworld Sword, the Nightmare Ancient Tree's inheritance site in the Bubble World, some core knowledge cannot be obtained by wizards who have not gained his trust.

This is a deliberate blockade, ordered by the Nightmare Wizard.

Wizards who are too old, or even those who have withdrawn from natural disasters, also need to undergo related memory sealing and memory erasure procedures.

Wang Ya is not heartless; after they make their choice, he will return that part of their true soul essence.

The Netherworld Puppet cannot speak, and Kun has become a qualified tool, doing his best to exert all the power of the Netherworld Wizard Puppet.

If facing a Star Wizard of the same level, the Netherworld Puppet would be no match. However, being a weaker, more limited supernatural being, the two could clash to a standstill.

boom!

Another collision of bodies. Under the solidification of the witch array, the extraordinary memory metal became extremely hard, able to withstand the terrifying force of the Mountain King.

The earth continued to crack open, turning into ruins, where extraordinary creatures were buried. They didn't even die from the protective power of the magic array tower, nor from the magic of numerous wizards.

Their ruler, the King of the Mountains, is the one who has killed the most extraordinary creatures.

"roar!"

The King of the Mountains also noticed this situation and became visibly anxious. He braced himself against the Netherworld Puppet's body, his bio-energy surging, and he sent it flying.

The colossal body that blotted out the sky, supported by a continuous stream of bio-energy, had reached the height of a towering fortress. Its fierce eyes stared at every wizard figure within the ripples of the energy shield, and then its right hand slammed down.

It was as if the sky itself had collapsed, and tearing marks appeared in the void, transforming into three astonishing cracks that rapidly spread to the tower's shield.

These are the claws of the King of the Mountains, and a testament to its innate abilities.

"It's over! The witch array shield is destroyed."

A wizard apprentice stared wide-eyed at the crack in the sky, where the energy shield had disappeared, connecting the area to the outside world. His face turned deathly pale as he realized the gravity of the consequences.

If an energy shield exists, their chances of surviving this battle will be as high as 70%.

Right now, it's no longer a question of survival, but whether the will to conquer can withstand these waves of beasts.

Once the central towers of the four great witch formations are destroyed, everything will be over. There will be no obstacles in the heartland of the Conquest Heart. The first to be hit will be the mortals, followed by the many resource-rich areas.

The Netherworld Puppet's armor separated, revealing its jet nozzles. Energy flames expanded, and the resulting thrust propelled it forward. Its right fist slammed into the Mountain King's head.

Its massive body flew backward, rolling and collapsing several mountain peaks, destroying countless trees.

The Netherworld Puppet disappeared into the void, and when it reappeared, it was already above the Mountain King. Its mechanical tentacles had tips that opened like flower buds, and they were flashing with dazzling light.

The puppet's core engine entered a state of overload, and the secondary rune spells were fully activated. The spells formed by these spells connected and activated a series of constant secondary sublimation spells.

Blinding light flashed, and energy pulses powerful enough to pierce through a thousand-meter-high mountain tore through the sky. There were thousands of similar fluctuations, which converged into an astonishing stream of particle pulses, turning everything in their path into nothingness.

It was so shocking and amazing! The power unleashed by the Netherworld Puppet left the group of wizard apprentices, who had never witnessed a high-level wizard in battle, utterly horrified.

When will they reach that level?!

Younger wizarding apprentices still harbor such thoughts.

Some members of the Conqueror's Heart who have moved from the past to the new era no longer have such thoughts. They have come to realize that the reality is that each of the formal wizards and star wizards is an insurmountable abyss, and many people can never cross it in their lifetime, and can only look up at the backs of those who are ahead of them.

Without a doubt, the Nightmare Wizard is the one who has grown up under the watchful eyes of the members of the Dark Lands wizards.

Some elderly people subconsciously looked up at the top of the tower guarding the view, at the figure in black robes fluttering in the wind, their eyes flashing with reminiscence.

"The beast tide is coming, everyone hold on!"

The ripples of the magic array shield still existed; it hadn't completely collapsed. The tear was repaired by energy transmitted through other spell circuits. However, the cost was that the overall level of protection had decreased several levels. If it received too many attacks, it might not be able to supply enough energy, leading to weak areas that could be breached by supernatural creatures, who would then slaughter the creatures within.

The various colored particles represent different kinds of energy, and some of them involve special particle energy. The resulting magic is more powerful than that of other wizards.

Boom!

Extraordinary creatures poured in from all directions. Even though they were restricted by the magic array deep underground, their numbers were so great that, although weakened, they were not without combat capabilities.

Once the number increases, the sealing power of the witch array will be relatively weakened after being shared, thus losing its previous sealing strength.

The roaring supernatural creatures also exuded rich supernatural energy. They did not use witchcraft, but they could unleash the power deep within their bloodline and use their unique talents.

The war between wizarding forces is quite unfamiliar to many people, as they have never experienced it.

But the horror and shock of the current war make every young wizard tremble. This is a true test, a matter of life and death. Those who survive will benefit greatly and have the opportunity to become members of the Nightmare Calamity and undergo corresponding assessments. Those who fail will face death.

Although it is realistic and somewhat cold and cruel, there is no turning back on the path of pursuing truth. You either stop and stop looking at the scenery ahead.

Either go forward without fear, with your own determination, the initial awakening of the wizard's heart, and unwavering steadfastness.

One by one, spells bloomed in the air, creating physical changes on the ground, such as earth spikes, storms, the void freezing into ice, or summoning otherworldly creatures to fight for them.

The dazzling light almost enveloped the surrounding area, every corner was covered and tainted by the fluctuations of particle energy, there was no order, no stable tide of particle energy, only endless strife and chaos.

Once this war is over, this place will become a forbidden zone for living beings. No creature can withstand such intense energy radiation. Even extraordinary beings will suffer mutations in their flesh and blood cells, resulting in extremely serious consequences.

The corpses of extraordinary creatures were buried in the soil, only to be trampled over by subsequent extraordinary creatures. Blood, bones, organs, and fluids were all mixed together.

The corpses of the supernatural creatures were the most numerous, but the wizards were not without losses. The role of the wizard array was crucial. Although the number of wizards who died was not large, if we compare the massive number of supernatural creatures with the relatively small number of wizards, the overall ratio is not much different. In fact, the wizards may even be at a greater disadvantage.

At the low-end level, quantity can play a huge role.

Wang Ya silently observed everything. He saw people die in the mouths of extraordinary creatures, and he also saw a large number of extraordinary creatures being slaughtered by wizard apprentices. Fangs and sharp mouths, powerful bodies crashed and tore at the shields. The innate abilities were bizarre and varied, some of which posed a great danger to the wizard array shields, and could attack the wizards inside through the protection, or even possess the ability to bewitch.

Some ideas came to his mind: could these bizarre abilities share commonalities with abilities governed by different rules?

Wang Ya was pondering this issue, noting that the potential contained within the bloodlines of extraordinary beings was extremely high.

Research on the rules of the fourth level of the Sun will continue for about a thousand years, fueled by sparks of inspiration. Some indirect assistance is therefore quite necessary.

The use of these extraordinary beings should not be too limited.

Extraordinary bloodlines, physical qualities, and even the soul and mind should all be utilized.

The research content of the Level 4 Sun Rule focuses specifically on three aspects: the Moon God bloodline of the Night Moon Elves, the internal rule runes and spells of the Conquest Fortress, and the Book of All Things.

Night Moon Elves also belong to the category of extraordinary beings, possessing related extraordinary bloodlines, tracing their origins back to the Moon God Elves, who can reach the level of 4 rules upon adulthood.

Do these ordinary extraordinary bloodlines also possess similar ancestral origins?

The fact that Night Moon Elves cannot become Level 4 beings upon reaching adulthood raises the question of whether their bloodline lacks certain essential extraordinary factors.

Or perhaps the rules are different—rules related to bloodlines, energy, matter, etc. Wang Ya then dismissed this idea, saying it was meaningless; no matter what, they all boil down to rules.

The power of rules lies in definition, rewriting, and distorting reality.

Wang Ya frowned, and suddenly, an idea popped into his mind, and his eyes brightened.

Perhaps they are simply moving towards the rules from different perspectives.

His path to becoming a fourth-level wizard is now relatively clear: to complete the creation of the three major wizard bodies... However, Wang Ya does not have a specific clue as to how to advance to the fourth-level Radiant Sun Wizard.

We should start by studying the bloodline of the Moon God. The vast number of extraordinary creatures we have now are samples that we can use to study the origins of their bloodlines and trace the extraordinary factors at their source.

Wang Ya was very curious about the differences between the bloodlines of the Night Moon Elves and those of the Moon Goddess Elves.

Unfortunately, there are no samples of the bloodline of the monthly god-spirit for comparison.

But it doesn't matter, the royal descendants of the Nightmoon Elves are in his hands.

To trace back to the source, we must begin with these extraordinary biological bloodline samples.

After all, there is only one sample of the Moon God Elf bloodline.

While the simulation lab can recreate real-world materials and equipment, it is based on Wang Ya's knowledge and the data supplementation in the database.

There isn't much data about the Moon Goddess Elves and the Night Moon Elves. The Dark War ended too hastily, and too much was lost in that void land where the power of rules flowed turbulently.

Harak's advancement can now begin. Currently, as a Level 1 extraordinary being, the acquisition of the Blood Lord's power will depend on the evil god Gendass. However, it is clear that finding the evil god Gendass is difficult. As for other Blood Lord's rule powers, they are nowhere to be found in the vast multiverse and myriad worlds.

It can only rely on Harak's own potential to continue its endless absorption, fusion, and transformation of black cores.

This is also an opportunity, as there are plenty of extraordinary beings with enough bloodlines and flesh.

These massive numbers of extraordinary creatures and their extraordinary bloodlines are used as research samples and to provide what Harak needs for his transformation. Of course, some more detailed research is still needed to guide them.

The soul consciousness serves as nourishment for the bubble world and the special witchcraft array brought out by the strangled king. As resources, it affects the dream sword and even spreads to pull people into the real world into the dream world, even directly replacing the illusion with reality.

Of course, the specific details still need to be studied, such as changing a certain number of rune spells, rewriting the loop function, and connecting with the Dream Sword.

As for the body and flesh itself, it can be used as nourishment and a storage of bio-energy. Whether it's burning to conquer fortresses or providing energy to the secret realm, it's a very good method.

Alternatively, they could use leather, bones, and hair to craft special extraordinary products, magical artifacts, or extraordinary potions. The skills of Blood Wizards and Freddy Wizards have improved over the years, and with such a supply of extraordinary materials, it is believed that both they themselves and their disciples can rapidly enhance their professional skills.

A slight smile played on Wang Ya's lips as his gaze fell upon the Mountain King, who was locked in a fierce battle with the Netherworld Wizard's puppet.

Both sides, intentionally or unintentionally, moved away from the battlefield, even entering the void. The outpouring of power manifested in reality through the void, transforming into astonishing streaks of rainbow light. As for which spatial layer they were in, or which level they were on, no one could tell anymore.

Even a Star Wizard would find it impossible to untangle such a complex and chaotic void layer in a short period of time.

Only Wang Ya could share Kun's perspective and see the specific situation through the ripples at the soul level.

Currently, the King of the Mountain has the upper hand.

Although the Netherworld Wizard Puppet possessed power at the level of stars, it was ultimately just an inanimate object.

Defeat is only a matter of time.

However, it also allowed Wang Ya to see more things, and through those things, he caught some clues.

This confirmed a suspicion that had been lingering in his mind.

This war is not simple. On the surface, it seems to be a war waged by extraordinary beings against each other, to eliminate the alien races, to avenge the dead extraordinary beings, and to reclaim the lost territories and resources.

However, to extraordinary beings, this is utter nonsense.

They are all killing each other, you eat me, I eat you, and occupy each other's territories.

In their eyes, humans are nothing more than a certain extraordinary species.

There are many possibilities for coordinated attacks, but the one we're talking about right now is the least likely.

A cold smile appeared on Wang Ya's face.

A third party has influenced the extraordinary creature group, and not just any ordinary third party. Wang Ya took action, using dream wizard techniques to influence and control four level-two creatures and a large number of level-one lord beasts. This will require a lot of time, and even the entire Nightmare Calamity will need to help, along with the auxiliary witch array, to fully implement it.

In the illusory space of the battlefield, pairs of black pupils stared at every extraordinary creature present, even the wizards.

The person behind it is very cautious and probably hasn't targeted the wizard, likely because they're afraid of attracting his attention.

However, he had been observing from the very beginning of the battle, and he had even been preparing for it for a month before the battle even started.

The construction of the watchtower was also in preparation for this purpose.

Those black pupils are essentially an evolution of black and white bubbles. The white interstitial space of the pupils processes the captured image information, and even some of the energy derived from the Eye of Truth can perform preliminary analysis.

He didn't believe he couldn't find any foul play.

Some time has passed, and the war has entered a stalemate with intense fighting. The energy used to guard the tower has been almost completely depleted.

Wang Ya frowned slightly, but still couldn't find it.

The other three guard towers also showed no unusual features.

To be on the safe side, he even devoted more of his energy to the other three directions.

After all, he is the strongest.

If he were the person behind it all, he wouldn't have chosen this place to start.

At the same time, Wang Ya was also wondering what the purpose of driving the extraordinary creature was. It seemed that he and the Ghost Light Wizard only discovered the clues when they left the white mist area.

Could it be that the entity behind this is after the White Fog region?

What could he possibly be after, or was there some secret hidden inside? Wang Ya's pupils changed slightly; he had finally noticed something amiss.

Not here, the strange place is in the Ghost Wizard's level.

The opponent is a snake named Soul Duoguyin, whose talent lies in the soul. Its bloodline power is incredibly strong, and its methods are also very strange.

But the Ghostlight Wizard was, after all, a veteran Star Wizard, and easily parried the attack, putting pressure on his opponent.

Those black and white true eyes discovered that among the lord beasts, several had remained hidden and were fighting at the rear of the pack.
