Chapter 167 Departure and Information
It was not until now, when he actually faced these high-level wizards from other forces who had not deliberately restrained their power, that Benjamin suddenly realized how big the gap was between himself and the high-level wizards.
That is a natural chasm, the gap between mortals and gods.
And at this moment, he is just a tiny existence on the edge of this gap.
No one knew what was throbbing in Benjamin's heart. While he was stunned, the sixth-level wizard had already descended above them.
Wizards are one of the most rational and cold-blooded creatures in the multiverse.
All their actions are based on the pursuit of truth, knowledge and resources.
Under the universal training system for wizards, wizards know clearly why they fight and what they seek in this journey.
Therefore, the large-scale expeditions of wizards are different from those of creatures of other races.
There was no lengthy and passionate pre-war mobilization, no inflammatory oaths, and no spiritual slogans commonly seen in the armies of ordinary creatures - everything was simple and efficient.
The same is true this time.
When the intimidating sixth-level wizard appeared, he didn't say anything extra, but simply and calmly introduced himself:
"I am Augustine from the Tower of Nirvana, one of the leaders of this expedition."
His voice was deep and powerful, and with the resonance of his mental power, it penetrated the noise of tens of thousands of wizards and echoed clearly throughout the hall.
He didn't say a word of encouragement, nor did he paint a picture of future victory. After introducing himself, he simply gave a brief and direct order: "All wizards participating in the battle, within a quarter of an hour, board the ship. Set off!"
At the command, tens of thousands of wizards rushed to the exit of the hall like a tide and flew towards the huge barren continent in the sky.
They either cast their own special flying magic spells, or the elements around them circulated, transforming into streams of light.
Or you can sit on the flying mounts of various shapes that you have trained yourself, such as giant vultures and monsters with wings on their backs, and rush into the sky with a roar.
What's more, some of them control various strange vehicles, such as ancient-looking spaceships, floating platforms carrying alchemical puppets and biochemical beasts, and even flying by their own cloaks.
Even without anyone giving orders, the wizards still took off in an orderly manner according to the order of rank.
The entire intersection instantly turned into a torrent of wizards that covered the sky and the sun.
Benjamin and Viola also took off into the air with the crowd.
The floating artillery array circled silently behind Benjamin and flew with him.
Viola sat sideways on a long-handled staff that emitted a faint glow, her posture elegant.
She turned her head to look at Jieming, a smile flashing in her eyes.
"Don't be nervous, it's just a 'boat' ride. The real excitement is yet to come." She said softly, but there was a subtle excitement hidden in her tone.
Jie Ming nodded. He could feel the blood flowing faster and his adrenaline surging.
This is not because of fear, but the excitement of facing the unknown and challenges.
As the altitude continued to rise, when the figures of Jieming and his group exceeded a certain critical point, Jieming clearly felt that the gravity around him had undergone subtle changes.
The familiar downward pull of gravity disappeared, replaced by a potential energy that made me fall upside down with my head down and my feet up.
They were no longer flying towards the sky, but were slowly falling towards an independent and vast continent.
Benjamin reacted instantly, turned his body around, and controlled himself to land gently and steadily on the charred and desolate "ship".
This strange change in gravity is an intuitive experience of the distortion of spatial laws, representing the transition from a "world" of physical laws to another independent "world".
The desolate plane is extremely vast, with a bumpy surface covered with charred rocks and cracked land. The air is filled with a hint of sulfur and death.
When the last wizard landed steadily, Augustine, the sixth-level wizard of the Tower of Annihilation, suddenly had a burst of light around his body.
He was suspended in the sky of the plane, his hands open and his eyes slightly narrowed.
A huge amount of mental power surged out like a tide, instantly connecting to the origin core of the entire desolate plane.
He is not manipulating the rules of the plane, but like a skilled captain, he imprints his will carrying the corresponding spatial coordinates deep into the "ship" of the plane.
"set sail."
Augustine's voice was deep and majestic, as if it merged with the humming sound of the plane itself.
As his orders were given, the vast barren land covering the sky at the intersection suddenly responded.
In the eyes of the wizards and alien shop assistants who were still staying at the border, the barren land that originally covered the sky suddenly shrank inward like a rubber band that was stretched to the extreme!
The entire plane began to twist and fold from the edges at a speed visible to the naked eye. The originally flat spatial structure became like a ball of crumpled paper at this moment.
Then, accompanied by a silent roar, the vast land disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.
It was as if it had never existed, leaving only the chaotic void background restored above the intersection.
Such a spectacular scene that is beyond the imagination of mortals is like a commonplace daily occurrence in the eyes of the wizards and aliens at the intersection.
They just looked up twice, and after confirming that the "ship" had left, they returned to their busy lives and noisy trades.
After all, this kind of plane shift has happened countless times and is no longer surprising.
Inside the plane, ordinary low-level wizards didn't feel much.
Because Benjamin has the All-Seeing Eye, he can "observe" that the various coefficients of this plane are changing rapidly.
"This is the power of high-level wizards. They can manipulate and control planes." Viola said softly as she stood beside Jemin, with a hint of longing in her eyes.
As a third-level wizard, she is qualified to access the power of space and can feel the changes in the plane more clearly.
Although there were tens of thousands of wizards gathered inside the "ship" plane that was manipulated and moved by Augustine.
But compared to a complete plane, it seems extremely empty.
The wizards were busy looking for their own place to settle down in the vast and desolate land.
After observing for a while, Jemin found that this emptiness was not accidental, but was deliberately created by the wizards.
He saw that many wizards, after landing, began to take out various biochemical beasts or golems from their respective space equipment without any delay.
These man-made creations come in various shapes, including giant beasts with thick skin and flesh, mechanical constructs covered in metal armor, and humanoid puppets emitting strange energy fluctuations.
After being summoned or released, they immediately follow the instructions and line up neatly into cold legions.
Obviously, these man-made creatures such as biochemical beasts are the first wave of cannon fodder to invade other dimensions.
They are huge in number, tireless, and fearless of death. They are the most suitable tools to consume the enemy's strength, or even directly break through the enemy's plane defense line.
Secondly, it is the real combat wizard who breaks through the enemy's front line.
As logistics wizards, Benjamin and Viola did not need to make these preparations before the battle.
Their tasks are more inclined towards mid-stage plane combat and post-breach cleanup, transformation and resource management. In the initial stages of combat, they need to protect themselves more.
As soon as he settled down on the "ship" plane, Benjamin couldn't wait to take out his magic network terminal.
On the terminal interface, the information about the plane to be conquered on this trip has been updated.
However, the information is minimal in quantity and strangely deep.
The entire message is just two brief points:
First point: There are two level six creatures in this plane itself.
The second point: This plane itself is very strange. Among the four basic elements, fire and water are extremely active, but the remaining two elements - earth and wind are very calm, and can even be called inert.
Apart from this, there is no information about the races, terrain distribution, living creatures in the plane, not even a simple map of the plane. There is no information at all.
This made Benjamin feel something was wrong.
"How did they get such intelligence? Didn't they conduct any in-depth investigation?" Benjamin couldn't help but ask Viola beside him.
Viola had clearly anticipated his question, and she explained the reason in detail: "This information indicates that the sixth-level wizard who discovered the plane didn't actually enter it. He merely observed it from a distance, through its external manifestations, in the chaotic void."
"As I told you before, the so-called plane is actually a miracle created by the coincidence of certain elements with specific patterns coming together. The elemental composition, energy circulation, and even the operation of the laws within each plane will eventually be manifested through the plane barrier."
Viola continued to explain, "From the outside, that is, in the chaotic void, you can naturally observe the elemental composition of this plane—for example, its fire and water elements are particularly active. These are all manifestations of the plane's characteristics on the surface."
Jieming understood this, but then he became puzzled by another key piece of information: "Then how can we know the strength of the creatures within the plane? For example, those two level six creatures? This can't be known purely by external observation, right?"
Viola nodded. "You hit the nail on the head. This isn't something that can be grasped through pure external observation. It involves the characteristics of higher-level creatures."
She paused, her tone becoming somewhat cautious. "Sixth-level creatures, whether they are wizards, gods, or creatures from other planes, are naturally able to communicate with the origin of the plane."
"Their existence itself is deeply bound to the laws of the plane. Their power penetrates deeper into the plane, resonating with the plane's origin. This resonance makes them even more conspicuous in the chaotic void, like two blazing beacons in the dark night sky."
"Of course, I'm not too sure about the specific mechanics. After all, this is already considered a sixth-level wizard, or even a higher level of knowledge," Viola added.
Benjamin couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
