A Sorcerer’s Journey

Chapter 1148: Chapter 1149: War of Civilizations (46)

In an instant, the originally imposing Wizard Legion charging toward the space-based Annihilation Starship fell into chaos!

Meanwhile, the Robot Legion, which had been relentlessly retreating even on the surface layer of the space-based Annihilation Starship due to the mothership’s dense defensive weaponry, seized this moment to catch a breath. Under the most rational deployments and mobilizations of Skynet, they re-organized armed defenses, utilizing every channel node and relying on the Starship’s auxiliary weapons for full defense efforts.

Green, here as well, found himself stuck in chaos.

Instinctively wanting to summon Lulianmian for battle arrangements, he suddenly realized that his two trusted wizards, Night Shadow Sachi had already returned to the Wizard World, while Lulianmian had been reassigned to the rear of the base to ward off dangers during the period of weakness following his Self-sealing Technique explosion.

"Alas... Not only the trusted wizards, speaking of which, the academy dean should also be replaced; the life level gap between Stigma Wizards and low-grade wizards is gradually becoming apparent."

Lulianmian was just one step away.

Being able to serve as trusted wizards by Green’s side, Night Shadow Sachi and Lulianmian were themselves elite members of the Wizard World. With Green’s willingness to help, coupled with the special background of the Civil War, it was actually normal for the two to successively complete the Road of Stigmata.

As Green summoned his will amidst the chaos, a Mechanical Bee quickly flew over, escorted by dozens of wizards, and several Third-Level Great Sorcerers stepped out.

"We have seen the great Oblivion Tower Sorcerer."

The group gazed solemnly at the Oblivion Tower Stigmata Sorcerer standing alone in the sky, casting a terrifying shadow across thousands of meters below. This Oblivion Tower Stigmata Sorcerer was undoubtedly a strong contender even among the ranks of the Stigmata Sorcerers.

These people were all elites of Green’s Nether Sorcerer Legion. After Green’s gaze swept past each one, he acknowledged them with a simple "Hm".

"Your task will be to clean up all mechanical objects contaminated by the Metal Fire Seed. If you encounter a Space Airship-level contamination, report to me immediately."

Currently, Green’s side was relatively far from the epicenter of the Metal Fire Seed outbreak, so the impact level was comparatively low, without...

Creak, creak, creak!

As Green was speaking, suddenly the Mechanical Bee, carrying the several Third-Level Great Sorcerers and escorted by dozens of wizards, began to twist and wriggle with "creak" and "creak" sounds, then it stood up.

Each of the mechanical legs originally used to support the abdomen changed shape dramatically. Two of them gradually thickened and lengthened, forming two feet for support, while the other four transformed into four arms: one held a laser blade, another an energy shield, while the remaining two were equipped with a mechanical gun and a rocket launcher. This transformation completed within a matter of seconds.

The crowd stood aghast, not because they were astonished by the Mechanical Bee’s contamination, nor by its level capability reaching the threshold of a Second-Order Creature. It was... it had completed its contamination transformation right in front of the Oblivion Tower Stigmata Sorcerer, which was indeed a mockery to the latter who had just issued the clean-up command.

"Uh..."

Having witnessed the transformation from such close proximity, Green saw the entire pollution process unfold through his Truth Mask. Although unable to conduct a microscopic observation, Green, who had already studied the principles of the Metal Fire Seed, clearly understood the essence of the transformation of these metal mechanical objects.

In front of him stood the transformed robot from the Mechanical Bee, standing ten meters tall, its mechanical wings flapping at high frequencies on its back. It fiercely attacked the surrounding escort wizards, displaying no fear in both melee and ranged combat. While Green and the numerous Third-Level Wizards withheld their intervention, the low-grade wizards fell into utter disarray.

"These synthetic materials do provide some protection against Metal Fire Seed contamination."

After silently contemplating for a moment, Green murmured as he raised his hand. Underfoot, the giant shadow of Laphie Source of Darkness beneath him flickered, and a thin black hair suddenly vanished. In the next moment, the robot, which was rapidly firing a machine gun with one arm and launching a rocket with another, exploded with a "bang", leaving only a dark shadow that slowly retracted back into place.

The low-grade wizards were taken aback, realizing it was the personal intervention of the Oblivion Tower Stigmata Sorcerer, and quickly retreated.

Just now, through his Face of Truth’s observation, Green clearly perceived that the reason the Mechanical Bee was contaminated and transformed by the Metal Fire Seed despite the great distance was due to a section of its specially processed outer shell suffering battle damage, which allowed the naturally leaked light of the Metal Fire Seed to contaminate it.

"No need to worry, we are far from the battle center here, and all the mechanical devices here have been treated with synthetic material isolation. The radiation light has little impact here, and only exceptionally rare instances of contamination have occurred. Go execute your mission immediately."

Zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom...

After the crowd dispersed, beneath his Face of Truth, Green’s demeanor slowly grew solemn as he gazed across the surrounding space.

Just as the Wizard Legion could amplify for the Seven Rings True Spirit Wizard following the Dark Wizard rule, now, these mechanical objects contaminated by the Metal Fire Seed brought a similar amplification to the Metal Destroyer. Although the Seven Rings True Spirit Wizard was able to defeat the Metal Destroyer earlier, partly due to the Swaying Soul, it was mostly because the Wizard Legion clearly had the upper hand.

If more Metal Robot Legions were contaminated by the Metal Fire Seed, providing the same terrifying degree of amplification to the Metal Destroyer, the consequences...

Thus, now the primary task of the Wizard Legion is to destroy these robots contaminated by the Metal Fire Seed, which effectively equates to indirectly destroying the Metal Destroyer!

Rumble, rumble!

Tens of thousands of meters away, a place erupted with violent pressure. Green hurriedly turned to glance; it was the Sun and Moon Essence Wheel Stigmata Sorcerer battling a metallic robot over three hundred meters tall, undoubtedly its original true form must have been a Space Airship.

This colossal monster, standing over three hundred meters, although retaining some of its Space Airship fundamental morphology, even preserving the mechanical arm energy lightsword and main cannon of the original Space Airship, it fought like a robot!

And its power level at least matches that of a Third-Level Great Sorcerer having a Source of Magic Power—a Pseudo-Stigmata Wizard level, not to be underestimated.

"Hiss, the Metal Fire Seed, worthy of being a civilization-endorsed existence; its minuscule naturally leaked power already manifesting such a formidable battlefield domination!"

Moreover, Green noticed that some damaged parts of the robots under the glimmer of the Metal Fire Seed light could rapidly repair themselves. Even some Metal Robot Legions that had initially crashed to the ground were astonishingly flying back up!

Mumbling to himself, Green both received the war intelligence from the Nether Sorcerer Legion and redirected his gaze once more to the center of the battlefield, where the Metal Destroyer was confronting the Seven Rings True Spirit Wizard.

Suddenly, Green’s Three-Colored Light Eyes contracted!

One, two, three, four, five!

In such a short time, there had shockingly been five Ten-thousand-meter Metal Robots converted from Space Fortresses, standing terrifyingly gigantic, like towering giants dragging turtle shells, surrounding the Metal Destroyer.

These five unbelievably massive robots, scattered with faint metallic luster flames upon their structure, were evidently assimilated by the original power of the Metal Fire Seed.

Five giants, four of them ten-thousand meters, and one reaching twenty-thousand meters!
