Chapter 208: Fury of Frost (I)
A huge crack across the sky, as if coming from the abyss, slowly opened in the sky!
The originally blue sky was now dyed into a strange void by the crack, as if it were a land of death that swallowed up all light!
"The sky... collapsed?!"
The void crack that spanned the sky was like a wound at the beginning of creation, swallowing up light and hope.
Benjamin's brain suddenly shut down, his pupils contracted to the extreme, and all the hairs on his body stood up.
It's not like he had never seen high-level power before, but this was a scene so magnificent that it was enough to tear apart the plane with ease.
Even during the Elosia plane trial, witnessing a seventh-level wizard forcibly tearing apart the plane barrier was far less shocking and despairing than what he saw before him!
However, Jemin quickly recovered from his extreme shock.
Because he noticed that in the center of the sky that was being torn apart, a very familiar "sphere" appeared!
That was the ship plane that he had been in before and was so familiar with!
"I see." Benjamin understood immediately.
It turns out that the movement in the sky was not "the sky falling", but the ship plane and the flame frost plane, under the manipulation of Master Augustine, were undergoing a shocking "mutual contact and collision" process!
This was a thousand times more terrifying than the scene he had seen before in the Elosia plane.
In the past, Benjamin had also seen the scene of a seventh-level wizard forcibly tearing the plane sky apart, and he thought that was shocking enough.
But at this moment, witnessing with one's own eyes the movement and noise caused by the collision between planes in such a brutal and direct way was even more terrifying and unforgettable.
"No wonder Mr. Clark said that some natives surrendered automatically the moment wizards from certain planes invaded. Judging from the noise of these invasions... only a few are truly brave enough to resist, right?"
This thought flashed through his mind, and then Benjamin immediately realized another important thing:
"Wait a minute, doesn't this mean... Master Augustine has returned, controlling the ship plane?"
This fact instantly caused many questions to arise in Benjamin's mind.
But the most fatal one was also the first question he thought of -
"Wait! Here comes the question, why did Augustine come back so promptly?!"
Benjamin's mind was racing.
He recalled the information he had collected about the Flame Frost Plane in the past:
As everyone knows, because it is illuminated by the "Water Element Plane Projection" all year round, the periphery of the Flame Frost Plane has a very high flow rate of time.
This time distortion makes it a huge problem for wizards in the chaotic void to travel back and forth to the Flame Frost Plane - even if they just leave and come back, they may have spent several years or even decades inside the Flame Frost Plane!
Augustine, on the other hand, had only taken a few months to return the ship to the intersection, summon reinforcements from the main plane, and then return by colliding the planes...
This is too fast!
From the perspective of the wizarding world, this is of course extremely fast.
But considering the high-speed time flow of the Flame Frost Plane, this is simply impossible!
"Wait... high-speed time flow?" Benjamin was suddenly stunned when he thought of this term.
In an instant, his sight locked onto the lava giants nearby that were still rushing towards him but were isolated by the nodes.
To be more precise, it is the energy field that envelopes these lava giants and can form a "time suspension field"!
Benjamin felt that certain facts were becoming clearer as if layers of fog had been cleared away.
The lava giants and the snow monsters, two mortal enemy races, start from the ends of the plane and move towards the center of the plane to meet.
The key point is that they all carry an energy field that can stop time.
When they converge in this way at the same moment, it means that the entire Flame Frost Plane is completely enveloped by this strategic-level "time-still energy field" at this moment!
Although the wizards were prepared in advance and protected by the "Time Stability Anchor", they were not directly affected by the "time stop" for the time being and were able to operate normally.
But the entire Flame Frost Plane itself has indeed been "stood still in time" at this moment!
The time in the Chaos Void Sea is inherently chaotic, and the flow of time between different planes is relatively independent.
When the time of the Flame Frost Plane was suspended, the time of other planes did not stop.
According to the time standard of the ship plane, Augustine drove the ship plane from the Flame Frost Plane back to the intersection to retrieve troops, and the round trip only took less than an hour.
but!
Judging from the time span of the Flame Frost Plane, this external time often takes at least ten years, or even longer!
But when the Flame Frost Plane was completely covered by the strategic-level time-stopping field, the situation was reversed.
No matter how much time passes in the outside world—that is, in other planes of the Chaos Void Sea—here, everything will only stay at the moment when time stops.
So at the "same time" when the entire Flame Frost plane was frozen in time, Master Augustine controlled the ship plane and returned calmly with a large number of reinforcements.
Regarding this problem, not only Benjamin, but other wizards also immediately understood it after a little thought!
But what followed was deeper thinking.
"This... doesn't this mean?!" A second-level wizard at the same node as Benjamin's eyes widened suddenly, "Augustine... has actually already formed an alliance with the monsters of the Flame Frost Plane?!"
"Damn it! This old fox!!"
The wizards around immediately realized the truth of the matter.
After all, wizards are not fools, on the contrary they are very smart.
Regarding the "perfunctory" performance of both sides in this battle, and Master Augustine's precise return with the ship plane and reinforcements.
All of this has almost made it clear to everyone that the two sides have "allied."
Although the wizards were extremely dissatisfied with being treated like monkeys, they soon shifted their attention to a new problem:
Now that Augustine and the monsters have formed an alliance, then... who is their enemy?!
There is no doubt that since the two mortal enemies can put aside their hatred and even betray their own planes to "cooperate" with the wizard civilization, combined with their cautious actions...
It was obvious that they were indeed facing an enemy that was far more terrifying and powerful than the wizards!
But so far, the wizards have traveled almost all over the Flame Frost Plane, but there is no trace of any other intelligent life.
This weirdness and unknownness cast a heavy shadow over the hearts of all wizards.
Compared to other wizards, Benjamin is thinking a little more at this moment.
At this moment, he immediately understood why the lava giant and the snow monster could not produce "Red Dust Qi".
"This is really... the most troublesome situation..." Benjamin couldn't help but sigh.
Before, when he discovered that these two monster races were unable to produce the energy of the mortal world, Benjamin had actually thought of many possibilities.
After all, there is a lot of content on this subject in the Dao Book Pavilion. With a little reference, you can think of various possibilities.
For Jemin, the best possibility is that the two races are actually one or two living beings with "shared consciousness".
Every lava giant or snow monster is just a part of the cell of this huge living organism.
An individual naturally cannot constitute the concept of "society", and of course cannot produce "worldly spirit".
If this is true, then as long as we find the "essence", everything will be solved.
And the worst possibility is the current situation: the monster community in the Flame Frost Plane itself is "owned"!
In this regard, we can refer to other conquered or enslaved races that survived under the wizard civilization.
These races are also unable to provide Benjamin with the energy of the mortal world.
This is because conceptually, they do not form a "real society", but are in a state of "being kept in captivity", "being colonized", or in other words... being "farmed".
Now, the alliance between the Augustine wizard and the two major monster races, as well as the abnormal behavior of the monsters, have made it clear that behind the two monster groups, there is a more powerful "ruler"!
Therefore, Benjamin was one step further in thinking than the wizards around him.
But this only made his worries even deeper.
This is because, any existence that can enslave two such powerful and numerous monster races, no matter whether it is a civilization or independent individuals, must be extremely powerful.
At the same time, Benjamin was also very curious about where the mysterious enemy was hiding.
So many wizards have searched almost the entire Flame Frost Plane, but have not found any trace of any other civilization or its ruler!
This is the creepiest part!
However, it was not Benjamin's turn to continue thinking.
Buzz buzz buzz...
From the communication devices of the magic network terminals and various nodes, a unified command from three level five wizards suddenly sounded, their voices carrying an unprecedented solemnity and seriousness:
"Everyone! Camp direction!! Prepare for impact!"
Although this order came very abruptly.
But all the wizards did not hesitate.
They were already a battle-hardened force and could understand the commander's intentions.
What's more, since Augustine has already made it clear that he is cooperating with the two monster tribes, this order can be obeyed now.
Almost at the same time, all nodes instantly contracted the energy that was originally scattered around.
Then, an extremely thick energy shield was deployed in the direction of the camp!
The rune light screens overlapped one after another, as if forging a wall of elemental steel!
And those wizards who did not control the nodes also restrained their attack power and deployed their most powerful defensive measures.
Magic shields, force field barriers, space distortions... colorful protective spells light up instantly.
