Wizard's Journey

Chapter 899 Sharpening the Knife

A chaotic, post-apocalyptic world of spirits, CF-2 base.

"Yes, as long as I can have power, as long as Li Qingya continues to love me, as long as I can save the evolved humans, what does it matter if I sell everything to the devil?"

As a certain thought gradually gained the upper hand in Situ Mo's mind, his eyes in reality were no longer blurry.

"For power, don't I even have the resolve to make this sacrifice? As long as my wish comes true, whatever the devil wants, let him have it!"

It was already three days after the annual hunting festival, and Situ Mo's heart was now completely calm.

It's unclear whether Li Qingya's words shattered his former convictions.

Once again, just like the night he first communicated with the devil, Situ Mo summoned that terrifying being known as the Annihilation Wizard from an unknown alien world.

"Hehehehe, what's this? You actually summoned me on your own initiative this time. Have you come to terms with it?"

Situ Mo's left hand underwent a transformation, and his palm slowly turned into a human face. However, Situ Mo felt no fear or even any abnormality.

"Yes, I want power, even greater power than I have now!"

Situ Mo's voice was incredibly calm, yet tinged with doubt.

"But you only have 1200 yuan, how much power can you give me?"

"How much power?"

Green's voice was frantic, as if it pierced through Situ Mo's heart and reached his most primal desires.

"A power beyond your imagination, a power that makes this world tremble, a power that overturns all biological groups that stand in the way of evolved humanity, a power that even demons fear!"

"What do I need to give in return?"

Situ Mo looked at the face on his left hand, which bore a resemblance to the spirit.

Is this his true nature?

Stripped of its racial bias, it is not only not grotesque, but even brimming with a sense of wisdom.

"Hehehehe, you want the power to overturn this world?"

A smile appeared on his face as he held his left palm.

"The price to pay is quite high: your body, your soul, everything you have! How about it, do you want it?"

I……

After hesitating for a moment, Situ Mo said in a low voice, "No, the price is too heavy. I want to try it on my own first. Please grant me the power of a B-grade evolved human. What price must I pay?"

"The principle of inter-regional transactions is fairness, but you will have to pay the price of fifteen years of your life and your right hand!"

Upon hearing this price, Situ Mo couldn't help but ask, "Then how much time do I have left to live?"

"Let me count... one, two, three, four... hmm, you have fifty years left to live, that's plenty of time..."

Situ Mo displayed a number on the palm of his left hand.

"After fifteen years, will we still have thirty-five years left? That should be enough. Okay! Deal."

Situ Mo actually agreed in one go, even if it meant losing his right hand and fifteen years of his life!

"Hahaha, good, I like your experience. As the first alien life form I've proactively communicated about fair trade with, I've been quite patient with you. You should be especially grateful. Hmm, since you and I have had some similar experiences, I'll give this to you for free."

With his hands out of control, Situ Mo's body cells were rapidly evolving under the influence of some strange energy from these uncontrolled hands. At the same time, a long sword slowly emerged from the mouth of his left palm.

"This is the Bloodthirsty Sword, a decent weapon. I believe it will be helpful to you in the future, hehehehe..."

Having regained control of his hands, Situ Mo stood up, slightly out of breath, and quickly ran towards Li Qingya's room.

……

Boom!Boom!Boom!

"Qingya, open the door, it's me."

Li Qingya, who was feeling slightly melancholy in her room, stood up. After her initial excitement, she immediately cooled down.

What are you doing here?

"I...I've decided to listen to you and stop suppressing my potential. I will definitely help the Director and the Doctor complete the Savior Plan and dedicate my entire life to the future of evolved humans, even if it means sacrificing my life!"

Situ Mo's shout came from the bottom of his heart. In the apocalypse, such emotional impact moved Li Qingya, who had been influenced by the director since childhood and had lofty ambitions. After gritting her teeth, she opened the door to the room with a "creak".

"Situ Mo, you... um!?"

A hint of horror flashed deep in Li Qingya's eyes.

Situ Mo, Vitality: 233, Yuan Power: 3500!

"How did you do that?"

In the world of spirits, Yuanli is the energy that drives special abilities. Situ Mo's Yuanli naturally belongs to Green's hands. It is Green's higher-level and unique ability to use the Source of Annihilation to replace the projection of the will of a general world lord, an external avatar.

Li Qingya was unaware of these things. Such a high level of Yuan Power, if unleashed, would be the power possessed by an S-class creature!

Even though Situ Mo's vitality has doubled at this moment, his potential is far from being fully realized compared to what Li Qingya saw in him. He has even greater potential, enough to surpass the director's potential.

With such power, it's no wonder Li Qingya was shocked.

Situ Mo looked at Li Qingya tenderly and pulled her into his arms.

"My family has been communicating with other worlds for hundreds of years. Every descendant of the Situ family is afraid because a demon lurks within them. Once they become greedy for the power of the demon, they will gradually fall into the abyss and destroy the world."

Situ Mo cupped Li Qingya's face in his hands.

"For you, for the future of evolved humanity, I've decided to unleash its boundless power, but please keep this a secret for me, okay?"

Li Qingya felt as if she were being melted by the tender gaze of the man in front of her. With tears streaming down her face, she nodded.

……

The Wizarding World, the Secret Realm of the Tower of Oblivion.

"Hachi! Hachi!"

Amidst Green's shouts, Hachi quickly flew in from outside the mechanical bay with Laboon, excitedly laughing, "Hehehe, what's up, young master? Any progress over there?"

"Hmph, although I haven't been able to summon a complete avatar of the Source of Annihilation yet, I believe it's only a matter of time. In fact, even with this much power, it should be barely enough to complete the mission."

Green's laughter was particularly excited.

A world that could conquer another world before the War of Civilizations, even if the wizarding world were to be defeated and destroyed in the Third War of Civilizations, Grimm could still survive as an evil god in this world of spirits by using his special evolutionary method that breaks through the shackles.

"Go and inform the Thousand-Eyed Crab, the Mist Soul-Stealing Crab, to prepare their slave army, as well as the deans at the academy and numerous arcane wizards. A large-scale world invasion will be launched in ten years at most!"

Wahahahaha...

In his immense excitement, Xiao Ba quickly left the void mothership.

Green took out the crystal ball.

A moment later, the figure of the Sword of Destruction, Youquan, appeared in the crystal ball, just as they had separated not long ago.

"What's wrong, Green?"

Youquan asked, puzzled.

Unlike Green, who chose to cultivate Howling Cockroaches into his own slave army, in recent years, some Howling Cockroach slave armies have appeared among the Stigmata Wizard slave armies that Youquan is familiar with in the Underground Abyss Duel Arena, and Youquan has thus gained a lot of wealth.

"Hehehe, Senior Sister, I've discovered a rather chaotic yet prosperous mid-level world. Are you interested...?"

After inviting nine Stigmata Wizards—Sword of Destruction, Heart of the Underworld, Nine-Headed Wrath, Hand of the Super Magic, Wings of Darkness, Agmond, Ivory Castle, Hourglass of Time, and Bone Clock Tower—Grimm felt a slight pang of regret upon learning that the Stigmata Wizard of the Seven Rings Holy Tower Maze had already perished.

The Super Magic Hand advanced to a Stigmata by infusing energy, Agmond advanced to a Stigmata by the will of the world, and Dark Wings even had not yet established the source of magic power for the Wizard Tower; all of these are relatively new Stigmata.

Even aside from the Bone Bell Tower Stigmata Wizard, the other Stigmata Wizards are only Level 4 beings, which is not safe in the face of the chaotic apocalyptic world of spirit beings, where countless worlds are in a state of utter chaos and greed.

With a war of civilizations imminent, Grimm was more than willing to concede some benefits in exchange for precious time and a secure conquest.

Thus, Green couldn't help but fly to the Second Ring Holy Tower himself, issuing a joint invasion mission to some ancient and powerful Stigmata Wizards, as well as all the idle Demon Hunter Wizards and Arcane Wizards...

Since it's not a demon-hunting expedition, there's no need to go through the Holy Tower demon-hunting expedition procedures or purchase a space fortress to make a wizard declaration. This is entirely a private war initiated by Grin!

In a short time, several ancient and powerful wizards who met the criteria expressed great interest.

Among them was an ancient high wizard with sacred marks left behind, causing panic to boil over!

One after another, the Stigmata Wizards and the secret realm were organizing the slave legion and summoning the arcane wizards within the Wizard Tower. Some body-training wizards in the Abyss Arena, having learned of the news, were fully prepared, sharpening their swords, ready to head to the secret realm of the Tower of Annihilation and infiltrate the world rift that the Stigmata Wizards of the Tower of Annihilation were about to open.
