Chapter 317 Kogg's Wit
The oppressive atmosphere was abruptly shattered by a blazing cannon shot that pierced the heavens and the earth!
Battle is imminent.
The wizard's cannon fodder units and the minions of the Colossus and the Mind Realm launched the first attack.
The massive warship fleet of the Giant Spirit Realm roared first, and thick beams of energy swept across the airspace between the two sides, instantly vaporizing the servant army and wizard cannon fodder that were frantically charging in that area!
Almost at the same moment, the giant cannons of the Wizard Fortress, as massive as mountains, roared deafeningly, unleashing a devastating torrent of energy that blasted several huge gaps in the Giant Spirit Realm's lines!
Because the Giant Spirit Realm fleet deliberately lowered its formation, its unit density became abnormally concentrated.
In this first round of long-range bombardment, they clearly suffered losses, with several large warships that were unable to dodge in time turning into fragments in the blinding light.
But this was merely an appetizer before the bloody feast.
Almost the instant the artillery fire ceased, even more cannon fodder and auxiliary troops surged forward fearlessly from behind, colliding violently with each other!
In an instant, the entire battlefield transformed into a primitive meat grinder!
The sounds of metal tearing, energy exploding, and the roars and cries of creatures intertwined to create a symphony of destruction.
The wizard's Iron-Eating Beast pounced on the mechanical behemoth and devoured it frantically, while the modified creatures of the Giant Spirit Realm used energy blades to slice through the twisted bio-beast.
The lower-level spiritual entities in the realm of consciousness flickered like will-o'-the-wisps, attempting to disrupt the simple consciousness of the cannon fodder units, while the wizard's wave-frequency jellyfish emitted disruptive waves, causing waves of minions to freeze in place...
Every second, thousands of units are reduced to wreckage and ashes in the collisions, turning the earth into an eerie color.
On the wizard side, after two rounds of highly efficient volleys that inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy's front-line units, they unusually stopped their large-scale area-of-effect spell attacks.
All the wizards, including Jemin, warily turned their gaze toward the seemingly calm rear of the enemy lines.
The main warships of the Giant Spirit Realm and the high-level spiritual aggregates of the Mind Realm remained motionless; this eerie silence was more unsettling than the frenzied attacks.
Just as the battlefield descended into a fierce melee, two immense pressures slowly rose from behind the allied forces.
Kog's mountain-like metallic body floated up, and beside him was a massive energy entity that constantly changed shape and emitted a cold spiritual glow—the Lord of the Mind Realm, Sheila!
The combined mental fluctuations of the two formed a grand declaration that swept across the entire battlefield:
"The leader of the wizards! Show yourself!"
Behind the wizarding lines, Dixon, a level seven wizard, clicked his tongue softly, seemingly finding it somewhat troublesome.
But the figure still appeared silently in the sky like a ghost, facing Kog and Sheila from afar.
Below lies a death vortex of flesh and metal, while above, three beings who determine the fate of civilization stand in a cold confrontation.
"Leave our world, surrender your knowledge and technology, and swear allegiance! This is your only way to survive!" Kog's mental fluctuations were filled with suppressed rage and the arrogance of a world ruler.
Dixon glanced at them as if they were idiots, showing no interest in even replying.
He simply raised his hand and made a light slash in the air!
An invisible trajectory suddenly appeared, traversing space and heading straight for Kog and Sheila!
Wherever it passed, even light and energy seemed to be quietly erased.
Kogg roared, and layers of metal barriers materialized in front of him.
Shera also let out a shriek, her immense spiritual power constructing a labyrinth of illusions that distorted reality.
boom!!!
The collision between the two sides was silent, yet it made the souls of all living beings on the entire battlefield tremble!
Dixon fought two opponents alone, yet remained completely still.
The barrier that Kog had condensed emitted a piercing cracking sound, and Sheila's illusionary labyrinth burst like bubbles in the sunlight. Both of their true forms were involuntarily thrown backward!
In just one round, the difference in skill was immediately apparent!
Kogg was horrified and completely abandoned his last trace of contempt.
Without further hesitation, it sent a hidden signal.
The next moment, two even more violent golden beams of light fell from the sky like meteors, slamming hard into the flank of the battlefield!
As the light faded, two terrifying creatures, each over a hundred meters tall and covered in golden fur, resembling giant baboons, were revealed!
Their muscles were bulging, their fangs were exposed, and their eyes burned with a pure fighting desire; their aura had reached level eight!
The two giant golden baboons roared to the sky, their voices shattering the clouds.
They completely disregarded friend and foe, charging headlong toward the main battlefield.
Any unit blocking their path, whether a mechanical sentinel from the Giant Spirit Realm or a low-level spiritual entity from the Mind Realm, was easily tossed aside as if smashing a toy.
The two baboons' target was Dixon!
"Hmph, two beasts hiding their heads and tails, do you really think I didn't notice?" Dixon's expression remained calm in the face of the addition of two level-eight beings. "Do you really think that having two more brute-force-only helpers will change the outcome?"
Kogg steadied himself, a cold smile spreading across his metallic face: "Wizards, we know you have one more high-ranking member who hasn't shown up yet. But it doesn't matter, because our 'preparations' are complete!"
As it spoke, the army of minds that had been silent for so long finally began to move.
All mental entities, regardless of their level, radiate a spiritual light that resonates and flashes in unison at this moment!
An invisible and intangible, yet unimaginably vast, strange wave spread out from them in an instant.
This wave swept across the battlefield and over the mountains, spreading towards the entire Giant Spirit Realm at a speed beyond perception!
Wherever the fluctuations pass, unexpected changes occur.
The warships of the Giant Spirit Realm were the first to be affected; the roar of their engines became intermittent, their energy shields flickered, and their flight paths became erratic.
Many low-level warships and mechanical dolls even lost power and fell from the sky like dumplings being dropped into a pot, exploding into fireballs upon hitting the ground.
Fortunately, they lowered their altitude in advance; otherwise, the losses would have been much greater.
Even the army of the mind realm itself experienced violent flickering and distortion of its spiritual light, as if its own stable structure had been greatly impacted, making it appear extremely painful.
When this invisible wave finally swept over the wizard camp, all the wizards' expressions changed drastically!
They clearly sensed that the various elemental energies in the surrounding space, which were originally incredibly active and readily available, seemed to have been infused with an extreme degree of "inertia."
It becomes like solidified glue, difficult to move or pull!
The mental energy required and the difficulty of performing witchcraft increased several times over in an instant!
Many witchcraft rituals that are being prepared or maintained fail or even collapse due to insufficient energy supply!
Even Dixon, high in the sky, paused slightly in the radiance flowing around him as the wave swept past.
The suspended figure swayed for a moment, clearly affected as well!
"Hahahaha!" Kogg let out a triumphant laugh, his mental energy spreading in all directions.
"Although we don't know the exact mechanism of your strange power, it's clear that you rely heavily on the manipulation of external elements! This is the generous gift we've prepared for you—the 'Elemental Silent Domain'!"
Kogg was very pleased with himself. He had paid a considerable price to temporarily assimilate the elemental activity of the Giant Spirit Realm by using the original spiritual network of the Mind Realm as a guide, and artificially created a 'magic-forbidden' place!
"Although our army will also be affected, our mechanical creations rely more on internal energy, and our warriors can fight just as well through hand-to-hand combat! But what about you? Without elemental manipulation, how much of your strength will you wizards have left?"
It grinned maliciously at the two golden giant baboons that were charging towards it: "More importantly, our two old friends are best known for their pure physical strength! You... are doomed to lose!"
"Using this domain comes at a great cost, but it's all worth it to completely annihilate you dangerous invaders!"
The battlefield situation was instantly reversed as the "elemental inertia" domain, which covered the entire plane, unfolded.
