Chapter 269: Final Battle (Part 2)
Chapter 269
In the wizarding world, or rather, in the entire endless plane system.
Every three major realms, or a certain number of realms, there will be a true sublimation and transformation.
Just like the promotion path in the wizarding world:
Level one wizard, level two wizard, level three great wizard, and above that is the threshold to achieving civilization, the Morning Star Wizard.
This is also the case in this plane:
Bronze Alchemist, Silver Alchemist, Gold Alchemist, and above them is the existence that symbolizes the core laws of the world, the World Tree.
This kind of sublimation never brings about a simple numerical increase, but a qualitative leap and a complete transition in level.
Take the Morning Star Wizard for example, once he reaches this realm, he will no longer be afraid of being besieged in numbers.
Before this, even the most powerful third-level wizard would still be at risk of falling if besieged by a large number of enemies.
But after becoming the Morning Star, it means completely breaking free from this shackles.
No matter how many enemies there are, or how intense the siege is, they cannot be shaken at all!
It's like, a formal wizard looks upon a wizard apprentice as nothing more than an ant.
Because they possess the permanent mark of witchcraft, they are fundamentally no longer in the same dimension.
The Morning Star Wizards viewed those official wizards of level one to three in much the same way.
Just go one step further.
Because the level they are on is no longer a simple competition of witchcraft skills and strength.
Rather, it is the level of rules!
Just like a formal wizard can use the mark to crush an apprentice, a Morning Star Wizard, and even all fourth-level life forms.
It stands on the dimension of "rules" and crushes all existences below level four.
Although the current World Tree does not have a complete individual will in the strict sense and cannot be called a true fourth-level life form,
But what it represents is not "life" but an opportunity.
A fourth-level opportunity!
Even so, it has already stepped half a foot into the level of rules and can be regarded as an existence close to the Morning Star.
However, compared to a Half-Step Morning Star like Lin En, the situation of the World Tree is more special.
It is not only the sublimation of individual life, but also the core of the world!
It is the crystallization of the self-evolution of heaven and earth and the prototype of a world.
in other words:
It has not just stepped half a foot into level four, but has almost completely stood within the threshold of level four!
What it can do is even beyond Lynn's scope.
Because what it touches is no longer just "power" but the rules themselves!
At this moment, the Creator completely released the true power of the World Tree.
A kind of oppressive force originating from the rules level suddenly erupted like a volcano!
Above this bright moon, the World Tree towers into the clouds, its treetops densely interwoven like a sky curtain, covering the dome.
With it as the center, a huge curtain of light, like a holy place when the gods descended, spread out from the treetops and slowly spread to the entire surface of the bright moon.
This curtain of light is the "territory" of the World Tree, and it is also the place covered by its rules.
Because of this, all living things here can breathe freely and maintain normal physiological activities just like on the mainland.
On the bright moon where no life should exist, the possibility of "living" is gained.
However, as the power of the World Tree was completely unlocked, the light curtain in this area underwent subtle but fatal changes.
It didn't disappear, but new rules were injected into it.
A higher level and more destructive "suppression rule"!
In an instant, the majestic and boundless pressure of the World Tree swept out, sweeping across the entire area without any cover or reservation.
It did not move at all, not even the crown of the tree trembled.
But the pressure, which was like the collapse of heaven and earth, crushed down in an all-round manner without any blind spots!
This is no longer a simple deterrent of momentum, but a crushing force of rules.
In front of it, all the protection of formations and all the protection of totems are completely ineffective!
Previously, it was thanks to the protection of the huge formation that those low-level alchemists were able to...
Especially the bronze and silver level members can barely stand at the forefront of the battlefield.
But now, the formation collapsed, and the rules were suppressed like a mountain torrent. In an instant, the situation on the battlefield took a catastrophic turn!
The first to suffer were the brass alchemists.
Their totems were fragile to begin with, and they were crushed by the rules of the World Tree.
All the lights of protection were shattered!
These people didn't even have time to struggle or feel pain.
Just like dust abandoned by heaven and earth, it instantly turned into a cold corpse, lying on the battlefield!
The situation of the Silver Alchemist was slightly better, but not much better.
Some silver alchemists who already had shallow skills only lasted for a moment before dying suddenly like the bronze alchemists.
As for those silver alchemists with intermediate to high-level cultivation.
Although they were still alive, they fell into painful struggle in a very short time.
The power of the totem quickly collapsed and mental strength was consumed rapidly.
Under the suppression of the rules of the World Tree, their bodies seemed to be under tremendous pressure, and even their thoughts began to become slow and hazy.
At this moment, their death is just a matter of time.
In the distance, the golden thrones each released a brilliant golden protective light, trying their best to fight against the surging power of the rules of the World Tree.
They did not die, but the strategy of the Alchemist Alliance had completely failed!
Originally, they hoped to use the formation to mobilize the power of low-level alchemists and bring together thousands of combat forces to fight against the Creation Society.
But the reality is extremely cruel.
With just one command from the Creator, the World Tree released its cold and forceful pressure.
Those silver and brass alchemists were slaughtered as easily as harvesting wheat, almost wiping them out.
Lin En was standing at the back of the battlefield at this moment, with a faint golden light around him like a curtain of sky falling down, protecting him and Evelyn.
Without this layer of protection, Evelyn, who was only at the peak of Silver level, would have been completely destroyed by that blow.
This is a battle that determines fate.
Will the order of the old world continue, or will the wave of the new world sweep away everything?
It all depends on the outcome of this battle.
However, this battle was extremely cruel.
That attack from the World Tree directly wiped out almost all the low-level alchemists brought by the Alchemist Alliance!
That's not just the military strength of a small border country, but nearly half of the alchemist population of the entire continent!
The World Tree completed the massacre of "half the world" with just one rule shock.
This scene is extremely horrifying and chilling.
"The bloody smell...is getting stronger..."
Evelin opened her red lips slightly, her beautiful eyes staring at the giant tree in mid-air that blocked out the sun.
In her vision, there was blood and the breath of life released by those deaths.
Just like streaks of blood, being pulled by some invisible force, they slowly flow towards the World Tree.
Everything seemed like a carefully designed sacrifice.
And under the World Tree, the Creator, wearing a black robe and with a stern look, still stood there, as if the countless deaths in the world had nothing to do with him.
He spoke softly, as if whispering, or as if declaring:
"In order to welcome the advent of a brave new world... the old world must completely collapse.
The more you die, the sooner the new world...will come."
As soon as he finished speaking, spots of light suddenly appeared among the branches and leaves of the World Tree.
Those spots of light were like stars in the sky, densely packed, as if countless tiny souls were being called back.
They swam like fireflies, slowly rising, gathering, and finally merging into the branches and roots of the World Tree.
The Creator raised his arms high, and his voice roared like the apocalypse, resounding throughout the entire realm:
“My followers...
On the road of the collapse of the old world, only the Creation Society will
It is your only boat.
Survive the catastrophe of world destruction and arrive at the truly beautiful new world!"
As soon as these words were spoken, even the golden thrones in the distance changed their expressions.
They finally understood that those spots of light that appeared on the World Tree like fireflies... were actually the believers of the Creation Society!
This creator is crazy.
Not only did he personally slaughter almost all the low-level alchemists in the Alchemist Alliance,
Even the believers that he had personally cultivated and controlled were sacrificed!
How can this be called an “ark of salvation”?
This is clearly a sacrificial ship, a bloody passage paved with the lives of hundreds of millions of people!
And at the farthest point, Lin En was holding Evelyn, standing quietly at the back of the battlefield, his eyes as cold as ice.
He looked at the epic catastrophe ahead, but an unspeakable contemplation emerged in his eyes.
"Half of the Alchemist Alliance...half of the Creation Society...now almost all the lower-level alchemists are wiped out."
He whispered softly, his eyes deep as the abyss.
"That is to say, the number of alchemists alive on the continent... is probably less than one ten-thousandth of the original number."
This is a disaster.
This is extinction.
But it is also an opportunity.
For the Creator, this is fertilizer for the growth of the world tree.
And for Lin En... this bloody battle in which both sides used all their trump cards almost helped him clear the obstacles for the future!
If he takes over this world someday, there will be no endless resistance from low-level alchemists, and no more delays and troubles from the remaining system.
In the entire world, there will only be a handful of golden thrones left for him to face.
"However, the ones who really decide the outcome...are still those people."
Lin En murmured, his eyes piercing through the layers of fighting intent and looking at the golden throne in the center of the battlefield.
At this moment, all the golden thrones stood solemnly between heaven and earth.
Everyone is covered in the protective glow of the golden totem, and they remain standing even under the oppression of the world tree.
But that's all.
Their expressions were more solemn than ever before, and there was no longer any hesitation or retreat in their eyes.
The Creator has torn all bottom lines and turned the entire continent into a pool of blood.
At this moment, they have no way to retreat!
However, although the Alchemist Alliance treats low-level alchemists as a card, it is not a trump card or an ace.
The real trump cards, from the beginning to the end, are these dozens of golden thrones.
To be precise, it is the three most powerful thrones!
"Form a formation!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
With a roar from heaven and earth, all the golden thrones released the power of their totems at the same time!
The golden light gathered like a torrent. Instead of fighting each other, they began to merge actively.
Golden formation!
Low-level alchemists have their own formations, and the Golden Throne also has their own strongest formation!
The Fire Demon King roared, his body surging with flames, and he put all the power of the golden totem into it;
The extremely cold phoenix soars in the sky, with thousands of miles of frost and snow between its wings, interweaving with the light of the totem;
There are also the forest fairies, the lava beasts, the king of thunder and lightning...
The golden totems that are usually high and mighty and rarely used are now shining together.
All their strength is converging towards the front!
And there, is where the three most powerful thrones of Crystal Rock Beast God, Sky-holding Wings and Fish Dragon Emperor stand!
The three totems stand between heaven and earth, like mountains, like the sky, like the abyss.
They are like three golden lighthouses supporting the last hope of the Alchemist Alliance!
Under the World Tree, the Creator looked at this scene, his expression still calm, as if everything was under control.
"The power of the sky, the earth, and the ocean... I feel it... You are indeed getting stronger..."
His voice was deep and deep, like the morning bell and evening drum, striking at people's hearts.
"But... this is far from enough."
really.
As many golden thrones infused their totemic power into the formation, the aura of the three most powerful thrones surged visibly!
The totem becomes larger, brighter and more majestic in the light.
The Crystal Rock Beast God roared to the sky, and crystals bulged all over his body. His body was already nearly 70% the size of the World Tree, like the incarnation of the continent's will, with an aura that shook the heavens.
The wings soared into the sky, with strong winds and green light, like the reincarnation of the wind god who ruled the sky;
But the most dazzling one is the Fish Dragon Emperor!
The blue and purple totem glowed so brightly that an illusory coastline even appeared behind it, as if the entire deep sea had surrendered to it!
With the help of the totem formation, the three most powerful men's strength increased steadily.
However, the magnitude of the enhancement varies.
The smallest one is the Wings of the Sky, the next is the Crystal Rock Beast God, and the largest one is the Fish Dragon Emperor.
With the support of the powerful totem formation, the Fish Dragon King's momentum at this moment is even greater than that of the Crystal Rock Beast God.
But unfortunately, there is still a big gap between us and the World Tree.
"kill!"
The three most powerful men ignored it and started to take action.
Under the World Tree on the other side, the Creator also looked calm, ready to fight back.
But, at this moment.
A discordant rhythm emerges, like the ripples caused by a stone falling into the water, faint but touching.
"This! This soul breath!"
The Creator, who had remained calm and composed since the war began, suddenly changed his expression.
On the other side, the three most powerful men were also shocked when they saw the Creator’s expression change.
Isn’t this uncomfortable feeling between heaven and earth caused by the Creator?
At this time, Lin En, who was still far away from the center of the battlefield, took a deep breath.
"What a familiar smell...Finally...it's my turn!"
Evelyn's beautiful eyes beside Lin En wavered slightly. She had long known that Lord Leighton beside her was hiding something.
The opponent had previously revealed the power of the Golden Throne to him and brought him into this place of decisive battle. It was obvious that he was going to take some action.
The only uncertainty is who he chooses to help.
Is it the Creator who is connected to his teacher Klaus, or the Alchemist Alliance on the other side?
However, just as Evelin was guessing.
The distant center of the battlefield.
Suddenly, the three most powerful men and the Creator all looked up towards the sky.
Unconsciously, a shallow crack appeared in the sky.
The sky cracked!
