Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1372 Threat of Destruction?

A gentle force carried the old lizard into the gate between light and darkness.

What the old lizard saw next was an overwhelming army of metal robots, like fish of all sizes breaking through a sieve. The sky was like boiling water, exploding amidst the scramble of these countless robots.

At the very center of the battlefield, surrounded by vast emptiness, a wizard with an indistinct figure held his magic staff high, gazing up at the towering robot face, tens of thousands of meters tall, overlooking the world.

……

Reflected by the absolute mass of the Garment of the World, the giant robot face, tens of thousands of meters long, overlooked the entire battlefield.

"The Annihilation Wizard Monster, ranking so high on Skynet's kill list, I thought you'd be stronger. Turns out you're just a mutated monster. Hmph, I will never allow you to ruin this plan, even if it means violating the principles of Vatti by using weapons on a large scale ahead of schedule and plunging this world into destruction."

As the guild leader, Metal Destroyer, even a single wisp of its will, could easily bring a medium-sized world to utter ruin.

Green stood tall in the sky, fearless and proud, gazing up at the colossal object that was looking down from beyond the world.

"There are countless worlds like the Wizarding Alliance; what does the destruction of one or two matter?"

Grimm held the Abyss Staff high, supporting the sky and preventing the World Garment's rules from distorting too much due to the immense external pressure. Hachi stood on Grimm's shoulder, its little head swaying left and right as it also looked up at the monster.

"I thought you'd slowly wage a total war, but I didn't expect you to be so impatient, launching into a full-scale war right off the bat. Hehehehe, so what if you destroy the world? Metal Destroyer, my name is the Tower of Annihilation, and I await your arrival here!"

Green actually provoked the Metal Destroyer!

Even Xiao Ba couldn't help but whisper in Green's ear, "Hey, this isn't quite what we planned. Didn't we agree to stall for time as much as possible?"

"Obliteration Wizard Monster, although I don't know what secrets you've held, hiding deep within the wizarding world for thousands of years without ever showing yourself, you're no longer important. Because what you're facing now is the pinnacle miracle of the universe's vast quantum technology! Descend? No, no, it means you'll never be able to leave this instance again. Just become eternal scum along with this instance, hehehehe..."

Um! ?

Ga! ?

Green and Xiao Ba exchanged glances. Xiao Ba asked blankly, "What does this guy mean? Isn't the wizarding world supposed to have the advantage? As long as we stall, a true spirit wizard will naturally lead a legion to rescue us. How dare this guy be so arrogant?"

Green's three-colored eyes narrowed, and as if he had thought of something, his body trembled violently, and he gasped.

"A celestial orbital cannon!?"

Green would not forget that among the intelligence information about the Metal Destroyer Civilization, there were four so-called civilization foundations.

The second civilization's foundation is unknown, but the first, third, and fourth are respectively the Vatti perpetual motion machine, the metal fire seed, and the star orbital cannon. The form of the star orbital cannon strategic weapon is unknown, but its effect is that it can penetrate and destroy a medium-sized world in one shot!

This is the pinnacle of the Metal Destroyer civilization's art of energy utilization, a miracle in the history of weapons manufacturing. Even though Grimm traveled to the Death Star of the Ironblood civilization, which had the same level of technological evolution, he was helpless even against lower-level worlds. However, the Metal Destroyer civilization's level of energy utilization was already capable of destroying medium-sized worlds.

However, there is no doubt that the restrictions on the use of the orbital cannons deep within the universe must be extremely stringent; otherwise, the metal destroyer civilization, which held the advantage in the void war, would not be at such a disadvantage.

"Damn it, no way!"

Xiao Ba was also startled after realizing what had happened.

"Grimmon, what do we do? If they really use that, we're doomed!"

Leaving aside the orbital cannon, even the Star Destroyer alone requires two layers of the Holy Tower's protective shield to barely withstand a single strike from it. Thus, if the intelligence indicates that the orbital cannon has the power to destroy a medium-sized world in a single strike, the Wizarding World would have absolutely no chance of resisting such power unless it activates the Lever of Fate or the Eternal Sky City.

In other words, if the space-based planet destroyer is actually activated, Green's previously confident defensive plan, which relied heavily on his advantageous position, will now become his own death trap—a terrible choice.

His eyes darted around, he considered the situation carefully, paused briefly, and then suddenly chuckled softly.

"Hehehehe, hehehehehe! You fool! It's true you've planted many spies within the Wizarding Alliance, but with the Metal Destroyer civilization's current disastrous failure, haven't you considered that your every move has already been observed by the Alliance's spies? A Star Orbiter Cannon? The power of the Lever of Fate can even alter the cyclical direction of chaotic eruptions. What is a mere Star Orbiter Cannon capable of destroying a medium-sized world?"

Green smiled proudly, like a victor.

"Did you think the Alliance, by sending me to guard this world, wouldn't have anticipated your orbital cannons?"

If Xiao Ba didn't know Green's background clearly, he would almost believe what Green said.

"Damn, you're really good at pretending... But there's no other way now. We need to stabilize morale first, otherwise these legions will take care of us before the orbital cannons even arrive."

At that moment, Grimm suddenly waved his magic wand, and an avatar of the Source of Annihilation, which had opened the second layer of Wild Instinct Ivory Armor state, appeared in front of Grimm. At the same time, light and darkness intertwined, and the Path of Annihilation distorted space and time.

The clone of the Source of Annihilation went through and, a moment later, swapped back the old lizard guardian of the Tianshan Sea World.

"Respected Annihilation Wizard!"

The old lizard stared blankly at the giant face of the metal destroyer high in the sky for a moment, then reacted, bowed respectfully to Green, and burst into tears.

"Guardians... Although these evil metal robots have caused irreparable damage to the Tianshan Sea World, the Wizard Alliance will always stand on the side of justice! Rest assured, with me here, the Wizard Will will never allow the Wizard Legion to retreat a single step, will never compromise with evil forces, and swears to live and die with the Tianshan Sea World!"

Even in this critical moment, Xiao Ba almost couldn't help but burst into laughter at Green's dignified and righteous demeanor.

Do wizards represent justice?

And yet he acts so self-righteously and arrogantly, there's nothing wrong with him.

"Do you see that altar? It allows you to gain a deeper understanding of this world and unleash greater power, enabling you to protect your home! Come, guardian, let us fight against the evil forces together and usher in the dawn of victory!"

"good!"

The old lizard looked at Green with the reverence one would show to a savior, said no more, and flew toward the altar.

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

The Stigmata Wizards led their wizard legions, slave monster legions, native tribes, and skeletal monster destruction legions towards the metal robot legion high in the sky. Some powerful beings stuck in the cracks of the World Garment were their primary targets.

The world is a battlefield of invasion, everywhere you look.

Clearly, using the orbital cannon would be too costly, and even this metal destroyer was unwilling to summon it easily.
