Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1114 The War of Civilizations (Twenty-Six)

Roar!

With unparalleled savage power, on the fierce battlefield, the Metal Destroyer Legion only managed to spare a small void fleet to temporarily block the legion led by Grimm.

Six arms, one of which was already poised to strike, gathered an incredible surge of power on the pitch-black Mount Jiuchong. Amidst a piercing buzzing sound that seemed to tear the air apart, a flash of obsidian light appeared and disappeared. Then, the next moment, the distorted AT field shield burst like a bubble with a "bang"!

With a deafening roar, a dazzling burst of fire swept outwards, and the fragile Void Mothership was smashed to pieces by the Nine Peaks thrown by Grin.

With a flash, the Nine Peaks Mountain was once again retrieved into Green's palm. As magic surged, it gradually turned from dark green to pitch black.

This small fleet, consisting of twenty-two aircraft, would have been a cause for concern even for Green if it were in the void.

However, given that he was leading such a massive army within the world and only deployed a mere twenty-two Void Motherships to intercept them, it seemed far too rudimentary.

After hurling the mountain head-on and destroying a void mothership from an extremely long distance, the numerous black firebird heads behind Grimm, baring their fangs and claws, were poised to unleash the Dark Source Flame Soul Flame brewing in their mouths. This was the simplest and most effective way Grimm had discovered to destroy void motherships, even though its range was slightly shorter than everything else.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

A handful of liquid metal terminators led over 200,000 metal robots, flying in sparsely. Without Grimm having to deal with them much, wizard legions from all directions swarmed forward, charging towards these legions with a continuous barrage of elemental magic and mechanical energy cannons.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...

In comparison, the Void Mothership's attack range is much greater than that of the Grimfire Soul Bird Head Elemental True Form.

Before Green could even get close, a barrage of energy cannons rained down upon him. Even Green could not possibly withstand so many high-intensity attacks at once. After the Face of Truth accurately calculated and judged the trajectory of the projectiles, he used elemental teleportation to evade the attacks.

Although Grimm was unharmed, the nearby wizard legions and spaceships suffered extensive damage, being destroyed and crashing. Many slave monsters, mechanical puppets, and wizards were instantly blasted into dust by the dazzling energy beams.

A black arc of electricity flashed and disappeared in an instant, and in the twisting interplay of light and darkness, a colossal black flame appeared.

Wearing the mask of truth, the three-colored cold eyes shone brightly. Behind him, nearly three hundred fiery soul bird heads cried out and spewed raging black flames in all directions. Each flame was between several thousand and tens of thousands of degrees, and the black pillars of light intertwined, creating an extremely terrifying spectacle.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...

Compared to the over two thousand-meter-tall Void Mothership, the true form of the Grimm Element was still much smaller. However, under the impact of the black flame pillars that filled the sky, the AT field shields of the two nearby Void Motherships were completely ineffective. After the waves spread out, the fragile metal shells of the ship's outer hull were easily melted away.

As for those low-level ordinary robots, the black flame beams are a completely deadly and terrifying attack. If you get even a slight graze, the flames will quickly spread throughout their bodies and melt them into molten metal.

Immediately afterwards, the thousand-meter giant brandished his thousand-meter-long Extreme Abyss Magic Staff, which resembled an ice hammer!

This terrifying life form already possesses some biological characteristics that are only found in passively evolved level six creatures. Every move it makes is a natural disaster. Coupled with the extreme cold and the distortion of the gravity field, in an instant, under the full power of this terrifying giant, the area within a radius of 10,000 meters instantly turned into a hell, with ice and fire intertwined.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...

More than twenty void motherships, their low-level metal robots showing no fear, no emotion, and no retreat, coldly manipulated all available resources. Under the macro-management of Skynet and through their own intelligent processing, the second wave of attacks arrived.

Even with Green's extraordinary power at this moment, he has only destroyed two motherships of this small void fleet. Green still has much more to face.

Even if this small void fleet were added together, it would be nothing more than a tiny ripple on the vast battlefield.

Billions of metal robots and wizard legions clashed like raging waves, locked in a fierce battle of iron and blood.

……

Central region.

The Seventh Ring True Spirit Wizard and the Sovereign of the Soul were undoubtedly at the center of the battlefield. The Holy Mark Wizards, with their extensive war experience, had already led their legions to avoid that dangerous area as much as possible.

Amidst the raging waves of elemental power, the boundless darkness stretched to the horizon. Only the green tortoise shell of the Tree of Life on the left shoulder of the seventh-ring True Spirit Wizard, and the blazing flame on his right thumb, shimmered with their unique luster, endlessly radiating life.

Click, click, click!

On that vast, boundless void mothership, numerous mechanical arms opened a metal door, revealing a huge interior space. It was as if mechanical art had been brought to its fullest potential, or as if a dreamlike music box had been opened. A metal robot over a hundred meters tall, with its dark red and black body, slowly floated out.

"The third-ranked wizard leader on Skynet's kill list, a seventh-ring wizard! Oh... and there's also a subordinate boss, the Soul of the Void."

Upon its debut aboard the space-based star destroyer, this metal destroyer, a level above the Terminator in terms of life, was actually using some kind of amplification device to communicate with a Seventh Ring True Spirit Wizard in the distant Wizarding Language!

A wizard monster?

That's an interesting name!

Unexpectedly, the seventh-ring True Spirit Wizard was ranked third on the Skynet kill list. So the top two were undoubtedly the first-ring True Spirit Wizard who controlled the Lever of Fate and the first-ring True Spirit Wizard of the Eternal Sky City.

The seventh-ring True Spirit Wizard seemed to have anticipated this, showing no surprise whatsoever, and continued walking forward, getting closer and closer to the metal destroyer aboard the space-based star destroyer.

"Hehehehehe, there aren't many Skynet AI players willing to communicate with us experience monsters. And those Skynet robots are just enslaved, crippled lives; there's no point in communicating with them. Tell me, what will you get for killing me?"

The seventh-ring True Spirit Wizard was actually communicating with this Metal Terminator using profound vocabulary that lower-level wizards could not understand.

Clearly, the seventh-ring True Spirit Wizards know more about this powerful civilization than ordinary wizards!

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I forgot, you wizard monsters can't see my ID title. I'm the third ranked player on the Skynet, my ID is Mighty Sky. Oh right, because that one-round True Spirit Wizard monster sealed part of my artifact, my ranking has now dropped to fourth."

As he spoke, the Metal Destroyer let out a greedy, wicked laugh, like that of a wizard.

"Hehehe, as for the benefits of killing you, the Skynet information shows it's 4.5 billion Skynet Coins. That's enough to raise my level to over 1500. Whoosh! As for the equipment that dropped, although it's slightly less effective than the equipment dropped by a round of wizard monsters, and can't be fused with my Metal Fire Seed to become a legendary item comparable to the Skynet-protected Vatti Quantum Technology, it's still a divine artifact..."

P.S.: There will be a big release next month, so I'm looking forward to getting more monthly votes. I hope everyone will support me.

I have to mention the Chinese New Year thing here. I originally planned to release a big update during the New Year, but after two days of release, I found that the number of subscribers was too low. It did not increase compared to the period of two updates a day. In fact, the average number of subscribers dropped for the multi-chapter chapters!

For authors who are about to write their next book, a drop in average daily subscriptions means a drop in the editor's support for the next book, so how can they dare to continue to update more?

Therefore, I hope everyone will give it their support. According to the plan, "The Wizard's Journey" will definitely be completed between the end of June and July. According to the outline, after careful calculation and allocation, the later content does need to be updated more frequently to make up for the shortcoming. For the sake of ideals, as the first book to be written, Bai Lu is of course willing to make this book more perfect, so that everyone can see a more wholehearted "The Wizard's Journey".

However, both online and in reality, the situation is just as cruel.

On the internet, most readers read online novels simply for leisure. They often read only the superficial parts of an author's work of millions of words and then make arbitrary judgments, hurl insults at each chapter, spread them wantonly, and insult the author's hard work. They ignore the author's efforts to express deeper ideas and start by boasting that the author did not abandon them.

Perhaps the author works hard all day but receives less than those who copy pirated content, earning only a few thousand words a month. It's truly heartbreaking and infuriating.

In fact, most new online authors, even if they shout themselves hoarse online, will be ignored if their work is not of high quality. Just like "The Wizard's Journey," there was no income, no support, and no praise. But Bai Lu had to persevere in order to express everything in her heart. Otherwise, no one in this world would hear her weak cries or understand her inner world. All she would receive were long and rambling insults and abuse.

Even worse, some have resorted to defamation and plagiarism!

As a newcomer, Bai Lu's "The Wizard's Journey" is indeed not very pleasing to the eye in many aspects. This is an inevitable development. Otherwise, anyone could become a popular author online, so why would there be any need for exaggeration?

As for plagiarism, aside from the fact that they both have the title of wizard, Bailu really can't think of anything else that was plagiarized. Does that mean all martial arts novels are plagiarized from Jin Yong, and all cultivation novels are plagiarized from "The Legend of Shushan"? If wizarding is plagiarism, why not say "Harry Potter"?

The fact that The Wizarding Journey has endured to this day must mean it has its own merits, which those who understand will naturally appreciate, without needing further explanation.

There are no beggars online because no one will pity them. It's a cruel yet egalitarian platform. The world is beautiful, and we need eyes that can appreciate ugliness.

In reality, it's just as cruel.

Because of unequal births, we are born with unequal access to life resources. Some people are handsome, some are ugly, some are disabled, and some have great dreams but are cruelly defeated by reality.

It's a very simple principle: your parents need to be supported, which is your responsibility, and this requires living resources, which you cannot shirk.

Mutual affection requires the consent of both sets of parents; this is your obligation. They also need resources to support themselves, which is perfectly reasonable.

Even mutual affection itself requires a necessary material foundation; otherwise, how can there be mutual affection?

Without a material foundation, one cannot enrich one's experience or broaden one's horizons; one will forever remain the arrogant and conceited child on the ship in "The Wizarding Journey," much like in junior high school, where some self-important little tyrants often give themselves arrogant nicknames, never seeing the vast and endless world's splendor and diversity.

Bowing down to reality can be ugly, or it can be not ugly. This is life. The world is beautiful, and we need eyes that can appreciate ugliness.

I've added a thousand-word author's note, which will be supplemented in the opening synopsis of the free chapter later. I hope readers will support me by subscribing to "The Wizard's Journey," casting recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Experienced readers may also consider making a small donation. I would be extremely grateful. Bai Lu bows deeply in thanks.
