"I'm so angry! Next time I'm definitely going to sleep with that female dragon, hahahahahaha..."

The metal gate had barely opened when a series of angry roars echoed through the air. Looking through the three-colored eyes of Grimm's Face of Truth, one could see a dragon shrouded in demonic energy, perched on a knight's shoulder. Through his perception via the Face of Truth, Grimm sensed that the dragon's true form was exceptionally powerful.

This level 5 Holy Mark Knight was permanently engulfed in a layer of golden flames, carried a broadsword on his back, and had his face covered by a metal helmet, revealing only a pair of fiery eyes. His gaze swept over the group of people before settling on Grin.

On the surface of truth, Grimm's six compound eyes blinked in a strange, irregular rhythm.

"Is this the Tower of Annihilation, with whom I've been on this mission?"

As Sui Huoyoujian asked, the stubborn dragon on his shoulder grew impatient and barked irritably, "Hey, hey, hey, are you listening to me? I told you, when I get back from this mission, I'm going to take down that female dragon! Tsk tsk tsk, that graceful figure, those fine, glossy scales, and those voluptuous, beautiful breasts—she's practically a partner prepared for me by heaven! Roar roar roar roar roar!"

"We'll talk about it when we get back!"

After replying, the Cavaliers continued to look at Green.

Green immediately understood the division of labor among the four-man team.

Without a doubt, the Decaying Cataclysmic Elemental Stigmata Wizard is responsible for large-scale damage, the Myriad Colors Simulation Mechanical Stigmata Wizard is responsible for covert damage or intelligence gathering, the Mountain Barbarian Warrior is responsible for frontal breakthroughs and withstanding attacks, and the Flint Sword Knight is responsible for strong offensive attacks. With his own World Garment breakthrough, the five-person team is a destructive force capable of overturning the world!

Since everyone is at level five, it is clear that there are certain special requirements in the tasks that a True Spirit Wizard is required to perform.

"Exactly."

Green nodded, saying nothing more, looking quite mysterious. The Flint Sword also nodded to Green.

hum...

As a massive, continuous wave descended, Green's heart tightened; it was enveloped by the will of a true spirit wizard.

"Yes, everyone's here."

After a powerful fluctuation within the vast sealed space beneath his feet, a mechanical puppet, carrying the will of a True Spirit Wizard, slowly dissolved from the metal ground like mud. Green had once seen the true form of this True Spirit Wizard when he was on a mission in the Howling Stone World, so he was not fooled by this seemingly ordinary queen-level mechanical puppet clone.

"The Eternal True Spirit Wizard..."

"A True Spirit Wizard..."

"The great True Spirit Wizard..."

After everyone bowed, the mechanical puppet nodded and looked at Grin, saying, "The Tower of Annihilation is a new teammate I specially found for you from the Second Ring Holy Tower. With his unique abilities, the five of you will have a smoother time carrying out your missions. However, don't just think of him as a support wizard..."

As it spoke, the mechanical puppet took out a mission scroll.

"This is your mission objective."

Green and the others looked at the scroll that had opened in mid-air: the activated world?

Just by looking at the name, you can tell that it is a wonderful world with very special rules.

And, as expected, this squad was the punishment squad under the Eternal Ring True Spirit Wizard, tasked with destroying those worlds that had defected to Skynet, thus deterring other worlds that might be tempted to act.

As for the mission reward... the Philosopher's Stone!?

Green was taken aback. What was the deal with this mission reward? Did the Philosopher's Stone really exist in the Wizarding World?

Or is it a problem with the literal translation of "Soul of Domination"?

"Tower of Annihilation, this is your Sacred Mark Life Box. With the foundation of the wizarding world, a Level 5 Sacred Mark Wizard is already the limit for the Life Box to be resurrected. If you encounter an accident during a mission, this Life Box can also give you the opportunity to open a second path to becoming a wizard."

Grimm accepted the Stigmata Life Box in astonishment.

It was just a square box, seemingly nothing special on the surface. However, through the perception and observation of the Face of Truth, one was secretly astonished by the combination of mechanical and wizarding rune knowledge within it. It turned out to be a mechanical object involving the microscopic world, the secrets of which could only be discovered under the mechanical microscope of the Face of Truth.

"Same as always, go to the back to collect your Philosopher's Stone rewards. After the war, everyone can go their separate ways. We'll summon you again for the next mission."

As he spoke, the mechanical puppet clone dissolved back into the metal floor and disappeared.

"Phew... Let's go. The rules of this activated world are quite interesting. I didn't expect it to betray the Wizard Alliance. It's really courting death."

With that, the mountain warrior took the lead and left the sealed mouth of the metal hall. The others followed, and Green, somewhat confused, also chose to follow.

……

On the way to a war reserve base.

"The metallic spark has been dissolved into the body of the Eternal One-Wheel True Spirit Wizard. Whenever the Eternal One-Wheel True Spirit Wizard consumes a bit of True Spirit Soul, the metallic spark will automatically replenish itself and continuously strip away control."

Along the way, the five people carried mission scrolls and flew deep into the underground space of a base.

After thinking it over, Green finally decided to try to get information from this straightforward mountain strongman. This body-refining wizard, who had been carrying out missions under a True Spirit Wizard for a long time, did indeed know a lot of hidden secrets!

"It's not a matter of whether a first-ring True Spirit Wizard wants to leave this world, but rather that if they leave, the True Spirit Soul they've consumed will be replenished by the Metal Fire Seed, and they'll likely lose the chance to be banished forever. This is no small matter. You must understand that a first-ring True Spirit Wizard is crucial to the foundation of the Eternal Sky City, and there can be absolutely no mishaps. That's why they sealed themselves in this world, waiting for the right opportunity, which is why the Giant Face is in such a passive position."

hiss!

actually……

Skynet is attempting to control a first-ring True Spirit Wizard?!

As expected of a civilized world, the Metal Destroyer civilization's understanding of mechanical power and the mysteries of metal far surpasses that of the Wizarding World.

This metallic spark...

"Then what is this Philosopher's Stone? I consider myself to be at the forefront of alchemy research in the Wizarding World, but I have never heard of this legendary object being born in the Wizarding World."

Grimm's Face of Truth gazed at the Mountain Warrior and asked in a low voice.

"Hahaha, this is a good thing. I heard that after those True Spirit Wizards sealed the Crystal Terminator and purified its Skynet control ability, the remaining pure body full of energy was named Philosopher's Stone because it has a similar function to the Philosopher's Stone in alchemy."

As he spoke, the mountain strongman took out a pink crystal the size of a thumb and threw it into his mouth to Green's astonishment. He chewed and swallowed it with a "crunch, crunch, crunch" sound.

"For a body-refining wizard like me, the greatest use of the Philosopher's Stone, with the help of ample high-energy ingredients, is that it can infinitely reduce the time of passive evolution."
