Aurora also nodded. As long as there is the God of the Moon, there may be other gods, and there must be a system of promotion.
Vittorio paused. He obviously understood this truth, but he was really unwilling to believe it. Because if what the crow said was true, the world outside the space-time gate might be more dangerous than they imagined.
It was already difficult to deal with the false god Ella whose divine magic system they had destroyed. How terrifying would the Lord of the Dead, who was said to have an army of hundreds of millions of dead souls, be? "So you mean to cooperate with this crow?" Vittorio asked with a frown.
"Of course not. It is impossible for us to accept its command and control just because of its words!" Lin En shook his head and said again. "That so-called God of Life and Creation may not be willing to help us. Don't forget what the Star Messenger said about the purpose of the Main World capturing the plane..."
According to Black Crow, these gods captured planes in order to transform them into divine realms.
They have no idea what the divine domain is or how to transform it, but Lin En suspects that it is possible to turn the entire world into his own domain.
Since the Lord of Death is going to do this, will the God of Life and Creation have the same idea? Maybe the reward is to let them sacrifice their faith or even the whole world.
No matter which one they agreed to, they would not agree! "It seems that we have to send people to the other side of the space-time gate again to check the situation over there." Harov said worriedly.
They originally thought that using magic to block the time and space nodes would be able to stop the enemy invasion, but from the current situation, it can only serve as a warning.
Therefore, it is imperative to send people in to explore again, at least to confirm whether what the crow said is true or false.
"But, there has been no news from the people we sent out before, and even you and Speaker Lin's incarnation have lost contact in an instant." Aurora sighed. If Ella had not flown in directly, she would even suspect whether this might be a space-time gate that could only be entered from one direction.
"Is it possible that we entered through the wrong door?" Lin En speculated. "Some doors are relatively dangerous, while others are relatively peaceful."
Vittorio's eyes suddenly brightened up. This was indeed a possibility. In the past, the parliament had explored time and space gates located in the wizarding land, where dangerous and powerful monsters often emerged. The degree of danger could be seen.
The door that Linn and Harof sent their avatars to enter might have been blocked by Ella, but other time and space nodes might not be so dangerous, such as the one in front of them...
This black crow, whose strength is only at the level of pseudo-legendary, can come in, so maybe they can get in too.
Although they thought so, none of them were in a hurry to put it into action.
This matter needs to be considered carefully. They need a complete plan and select the right people. Otherwise, they may not be able to obtain information and may even send the intelligence here to the other party...
"What do you want to do with that crow?" Aurora glanced at the closed cage in Lynn's hand.
The other party brought them a lot of key information, so logically they should be given some preferential treatment.
However, the other party kept asking them to "surrender" and "accept orders", and their origins have yet to be verified. To some extent, this is a big trouble.
"Let me keep an eye on it for now. It talks a lot. Let's see if I can get more information out of it." Lin En said thoughtfully.
Aurora nodded. This crow was related to a mysterious and powerful god. Killing it was definitely not an option. It might just provoke a powerful enemy. Nor could she just leave it alone and let it wander around the world. It would be best if Lin En was willing to take on the trouble.
After Vittorio took action and added several layers of protection to the space-time node, Lin En and others waited for a long time at the same place. Seeing that this thing had stopped moving, they returned to the royal capital together.
At this moment in the royal capital, the awarding ceremony that was supposed to be a grand celebration ended hastily due to the sudden departure of several speakers.
However, the congressmen who had a premonition did not leave by train, but stayed in the city.
As expected, after Harof returned, he immediately convened a wizard council.
A total of 500 congressmen quickly gathered in the conference hall, and Raphael and others impatiently asked about the whereabouts of several speakers.
"There was something wrong with the space-time gate in the steel city of Wilsel." Harov said concisely.
"Could it be that the false god has come back again?" Raphael immediately became nervous. As someone who had participated in the Battle of the Holy City, he naturally knew that Ella was chased by several speakers and fled outside the time and space gate.
"That's not the case," Harof shook his head, but before anyone could breathe a sigh of relief, he spoke again, "The news we received may be even worse than that!"
Lynn, Aurora and Vittorio also spoke up and gave a general explanation of the whole story, but they concealed the news about the main world. After all, it sounded too shocking and could easily cause panic.
"In other words, our world is being targeted by another god? The Lord of the Dead?" Arad was shocked. Raphael beside him asked a more critical question. "How powerful is he? How does he compare to Ella?"
"It's not clear yet, but I think Ella can't compare with her." Harov shook his head.
Ella painstakingly conquered the continent, founded the church, and planned for hundreds of years, all for the purpose of stepping into the realm above legend and replacing Diana, the goddess of the moon.
And Thanatus, the Lord of the Dead, is a god himself! This alone makes his threat far greater than any enemy they have ever faced.
“According to the Star Messenger, the opponent’s divine domain covers multiple worlds, and the number of undead under his command may be in the billions…” Vittorio also added.
The divine domain covers multiple worlds, and it has hundreds of millions of undead under its command… These few words made the councilors present feel a tingling sensation on their scalps.
It is probably unrealistic to deal with an army of undead whose number is a hundred times greater and whose strength is unknown.
"Everyone, don't worry too much. The church and the false god Ella were ten or a hundred times more powerful than us, but they still had to flee in disgrace in the end." Aurora said comfortingly. "Although the enemy is stronger this time, we also have all the resources of this continent, so we may not have no chance of winning!"
Aurora's words calmed down the anxious wizards, especially the veteran councilors from the wizarding land, who agreed with her very much.
At the beginning, the population of the entire wizarding land was only a few hundred thousand, and the territory was just a broken island. Compared with the church ruled by Ella, it was not worth mentioning at all. But in just three or four years, the situation of strength and weakness has been reversed.
After that miraculous counterattack, their panic and fear about the unknown powerful enemy outside the space-time gate were alleviated a lot, and they began to think about how to deal with the Lord of the Undead.
"It is impossible to destroy such a large army of undead by relying on conventional means, but it is not impossible to do so by using some unconventional methods." Having said that, Raphael paused, then turned to look at Lin En.
"For example, the [Skyfall] developed by Speaker Lin En can destroy an area of 10 kilometers in one strike. If used properly, it may be able to destroy tens or even millions of undead in an instant!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of all the wizards present lit up.
Harov and the others also nodded. Although [Skyfall] was not very effective against legendary enemies and could only cause enough damage in the area at the center of the nuclear explosion, its lethality to enemies below the legendary level was absolutely terrifying!
No matter how many people there are on the other side, they will be instantly submerged in the baptism of the "sun".
Most importantly, such powerful legendary magic can be used using nuclear fuel and does not have to be cast by legendary wizards, which means it has the possibility of being released on a large scale.
"Before the Lord of the Undead finds and invades this world, we have at least three hundred, no, five hundred nuclear fuel reserves that can be used to perform [Skyfall]!" Harof said firmly.
Based on the fact that one [Skyfall] can destroy 100,000 undead, 500 of them are enough to make all enemies below Legendary level disappear! If conditions permit, Harov even wants to clean up the world outside the space-time gate!
The only problem is that to perform [Skyfall] once, it would consume at least 15 kilograms of uranium 235. Five hundred of them would be equivalent to 7.5 tons of nuclear fuel reserves!
Based on the 0.7% uranium content in the ore, we would have to dig out a full 1,000 tons of uranium ore. It is estimated that even if we empty the entire uranium mine, we might not be able to get enough uranium, and it would definitely not be possible in time.
"Regarding the raw material problem, perhaps tritium and deuterium elements can be used as substitutes!" Vittorio suggested.
Using fusion bombs is also safer, more reliable and more powerful than fission bombs.
Moreover, water is everywhere. If the magic circle for extracting raw materials can be optimized and its efficiency greatly improved, it is not impossible to produce raw materials sufficient to release hundreds of hydrogen explosions.
"Then you will be responsible for improving the extraction array, Speaker Vittorio. Treat it as the most important thing. No matter how many people are needed or what methods are used, we must increase the nuclear reserves as soon as possible. The more the better. This is the most important and powerful force we have at the moment!" Harov said solemnly.
Hearing this, the wizards proficient in thunder magic all smiled bitterly. They thought that after the war with the empire was over, they would no longer have to suffer from extracting raw materials from water every day. Now it seems that this life will have to continue for a long time.
The last time it was Lake Eris that was affected, this time I wonder which lakes will be dried up...
However, for the other congressmen who do not need to do these boring tasks, a reserve of 500 nuclear weapons is not enough. Some even think that it would be better to reserve more than 1,000 nuclear fuels to be safe enough to kill or maim all their enemies.
"If one is not enough, then use ten. If ten are not enough, then use a hundred... As long as the equivalent is large enough, we can send the Lord of the Undead to hell." A great wizard said confidently.
He believed that there was no enemy that [Skyfall] could not solve. If there was, it must be because there were not enough of them or their equivalent was not large enough! Seeing that many of the congressmen present were caught up in the frenzy of nuclear explosion baptism, Lin En shook his head and could not help but remind them.
"We'd better not pin all our hopes on a single spell. Our opponent is a god, and he may not be without the power to deal with this magic. Improving conventional strength is equally important."
For example, after he performed the Great Nuclear Explosion and [End - Atomic Breath], the church immediately took precautions and made a number of targeted measures. Ella also developed a method of resisting this technique with force field magic.
Therefore, in his opinion, a nuclear explosion must not be launched lightly, and a suitable time must be chosen to eliminate as many enemies as possible at one time without giving the other side too much time to react!
"Yes, in addition to the nuclear fuel reserves, we also need to increase the parliament's high-end combat power as soon as possible." Aurora nodded, not blinded by the powerful nuclear force.
No matter how powerful the magic of [Skyfall] is, it is not as agile as a living legend.
In these few months, the tritium and deuterium elements extracted have been enough for four people to be promoted!
It has been delayed only because the issue of the order of promotion still needs to be discussed. Now that the academic seminar is over, it is time to prepare for the next round of legendary promotions.
Anthony, Rafael, Arad, Sanchez and other twenty six-ring wizards were particularly excited. They kept emphasizing their outstanding achievements for the Wizard Council in the meeting in order to win the precious four promotion places.
After some discussion, the four selected were Anthony, the recipient of the Silver Moon Medal, Geoffrey, and two great wizards who had made great contributions in the war with the Empire! Raphael was extremely disappointed that he was not selected. According to the merit ranking, he was the fifth and just missed the promotion ceremony. He could only comfort himself in his heart that as long as Speaker Vittorio could successfully improve the method of extracting nuclear fuel, he would be able to wait for another month or two at most!
"The plan to mass-produce wizards also needs to be accelerated." Lin En added that this is related to the establishment of the magic network and is as important as the preparation for war.
