Wizard's Journey

Chapter 2024 Abyss Battlefield (Forty-Nine)

Prometheus, both mentor and friend, disagreed with the Second Wizard King's plan, saying, "Don't even mention the 'equivalent balance' final measure of the Wizard Ancestor's Scepter; that only benefits other races for nothing. The wizarding world isn't prepared for its demise. Seven days, about eighty-five hourglasses' worth of time—if we can stall for time, with my true form in 100% combat mode and the enhancement of the Metal Fire Seed, I can completely suppress even him!"

Prometheus said firmly.

The Second Wizard King was equally confident in his ability to overwhelm the One-Armed Holy Body Progenitor with the Eternal Sky City Super Robot in its fully-formed state, but the price to pay for delaying such an incomparably powerful Abyss Progenitor for seven days was...

"Have you ever considered how many wizards the wizarding world will perish because of this?"

Just as the second-generation Wizard King was speaking, there was another "boom boom boom boom." The Coffin of Hope super robot, which was being forced back step by step and unable to fight back, was almost dismantled by the One-Armed Holy Body Ancestor with his bare hands. The repair of the metal fire seed was insignificant in the face of its destructive speed. Megatron, whose body was twisted halfway through his body, was also punched out of the chest of the Coffin of Hope super robot, which was overflowing with demonic energy. Fortunately, he did not suffer the same fate as the Decepticon Destroyer.

"Hmph! Every wizard who embarks on the demon-hunting expedition is prepared to die, but the Wizard King, as the core of willpower, must not fall!"

The words were resolute, but the cruelty they conveyed made even the second-generation Wizard King's hair stand on end, as if he could already see some terrifying scenes.

Prometheus continued, "I've already summoned the two rulers, the Quantum Light of Vatti and the Demon Doll, to provide support. The sealing wizards who can pose a threat to this Demon Ancestor are gathering here, but the new Black Wizard King is engaged in battle with another powerful Demon Ancestor and cannot escape. The World Tree is in the same situation, and the commanders of the other major war zones are still undergoing spacetime teleportation, and will not arrive for one to two days. Don't waste your energy. To time-space seal a being of this strength—throughout the history of the wizarding world, only the First Wizard King had a slight chance; no one in the current wizarding world can accomplish this!"

Although it was hard to accept Prometheus's words, reason told the second Wizard King that this was the truth.

This is why his most prized disciple dared to speak like this. The two were not only teacher and friend, but also bound by a shared belief that transcended even the bond of soulmates. Nodding, the second-generation Wizard King accepted Prometheus's suggestion.

Seeing the battered and bruised Megatron charging once more towards the demonically charged Progenitor of the One-Armed Holy Body amidst the swirling demonic energy, and his other avatar already fearlessly throwing itself into the fray, Prometheus said, "Master, think carefully about how to minimize the losses among the wizards and hold out until I unleash my full form. This is a life-or-death crisis. If all else fails, forcefully summon the First Wizarding King back. With his power, he can surely defy fate and reverse the tide!"

As he spoke, Prometheus, whose crystal coffin was full of cracks, resolutely rushed into the rolling demonic energy and was completely covered by it.

Boom, boom, boom!

Explosions rang out incessantly, accompanied by the unrestrained and brutal laughter of the One-Armed Holy Body Ancestor, "Evil Evil Evil Evil Evil Evil." It had only one arm and one fist, nothing else, but its powerful true body was enough to ignore any attack from many ordinary overlord-level creatures, and its fist was enough to destroy a small world!

The One-Armed Progenitor was restrained by the two Prometheus and Megatron Destroyer. The Decepticons were slowly repairing themselves in the Metal Seed. The Coffin of Hope, having gained a gap in the void, also stood firm in the void. On its enormous metal face, which was over 100,000 meters long, it even showed anthropomorphic expressions of extreme anger. With its hands clasped in fists, accompanied by a deafening roar, its fists slammed down.

Thud! Squeak, squeak...

However, it was clear from its rumbling footsteps as it retreated that the attack had no effect. The death ray attack was far too slow and cumbersome for the Abyss Ancestor, and it was even uncertain whether it would have any effect even if it hit.

"Hehehehehe, you really underestimate your mentor."

The second-generation Wizard King shook his head. These words, which would have enraged the second-generation Wizard King in the presence of others, made him shake his head and smile, seemingly unconcerned, when spoken by Prometheus.

"Though I am not as good as that legendary figure, if I don't even have the qualifications to fight against it, what right do I have to become the King of Wizards! Hehehehehe, as long as you don't kill me, on a battlefield of this scale, I can have as many of these metal fire golems as I want. The Sky City of the Abyss World is not bad either!"

Having said that, just as the Second Generation Wizard King was about to join the battle and rush into the abyssal demonic mist, the One-Armed Holy Body Ancestor appeared behind him as if he had jumped through time and space, breaking free from the constraints of time and space rules. If it weren't for the astonishing insight of the Face of Truth, it would have been impossible for him to have noticed this.

"Evil, evil, evil, evil, evil, evil, evil, evil, evil, then I'll kill you first!"

The veins on the hind legs of the one-armed, holy, progenitor frog were bulging, and the ability to generate such speed clearly required the use of some kind of unconventional power. Compared to the more than 20,000-meter elemental true body that the second-generation wizard king could easily activate, the hundred-meter physique was insignificant. However, this shadowy figure caused the second-generation wizard king's sense of crisis to explode instantly. Almost out of battle instinct, he swung the Truth Balance Magic Staff backward.

Snap! Rumble!

In a brief moment of frozen spacetime, the dimensional sphere atop the milky-white balancing light flickered, and an incredible, astonishing power was transmitted through the magic wand to the massive elemental body of the second-generation Wizard King. With a "whoosh," it was sent flying back millions of meters through the void, and was still retreating uncontrollably.

Even so, the outcome of the confrontation was still far better for the second Wizard King compared to the others.

Shaking his right arm, the One-Armed Saint Ancestor's savage excitement intensified. Without turning around, he casually flicked his fist backward, and the seemingly endless battlefield space behind him suddenly froze. The next moment, accompanied by a deafening roar that destroyed heaven and earth, all living beings on the battlefield, whether wizards or abyssal dragons, were crushed into blood mist and dust. A thousand meters away in the void where his fist pointed, the flesh and blood of a Prometheus clone completely collapsed with a "poof," leaving only a twisted metal skeleton drifting in the void.

"To destroy its cells at the infinite microscopic level, one can only make physical contact with it. However, without the support of the Elemental True Body and the Truth Balance Magic Staff, no matter how many of its true bodies my Infinite Microscopic Decomposition Technique can destroy, my own true body will inevitably be unable to withstand its second punch, which is equivalent to exchanging my omnipotent soul. As for other methods, the conditions for achieving them are even more stringent. So, how should we approach them?"

Indeed, the second-generation Wizard King was not as helpless against this terrifying abyssal demon as Prometheus claimed, but he had to pay a great price and face harsh combat conditions. After all, the existence of such an extreme life form was itself a violation of the rules of balance!

This kind of existence is usually referred to as the human form of civilization foundation, which is equivalent to the civilization foundation at 100% maximum operating power at all times.
