Somewhere in a deserted wasteland.

"Rustle, rustle..."

Gravel and sand swayed as a mechanical claw poked its head out from underground, followed by an antenna.

The antenna vibrated slightly, observing the surrounding situation, and only slowly ascended after confirming that there was nothing unusual around.

As the gravel rose and fell, a mechanical centipede crawled out of the ground and quickly rushed towards a stone not far away.

After the centipede climbed onto the stone, it raised its antenna and began to receive messages floating in the void.

“Sizzle…”

"Channel 655..., change channel..."

"Please note that this channel has been discovered by the Holy Temple. Do not post any information that may reveal our identity on this channel..."

"Sky Battleship No. 1 is destroyed, the Mechanical Demigod has fallen, and the entire army in District 3 has been annihilated. Warning to other areas..."

"Don't show your head! Don't show your head! Don't show your head!"

"The mechanical warrior who had undergone seven genetic modifications was killed by the 'God' Carl, and the base was completely destroyed..."

"The four demigods sent by the Chaos Demon God to the lower world were all killed, and the Grand Dukes of this world have all surrendered to the false god."

"Once detected by the false gods, even if they are demigods or sons of gods, they will have no chance of escaping."

"hide!"

"wait!"

"The Creator will not give up on us! Victory will eventually belong to us! Carl can't be invincible forever!"

“Sizzle…”

Deep underground.

A humanoid object made entirely of mechanical parts slowly opened its eyes, and various data flashed quickly in its pupils.

"More and more followers are disappearing. Perhaps they choose to hide and not contact others like me."

"But if the technology side wants to become stronger, it cannot do without external things. If I am not allowed to mine energy, my own energy will definitely be exhausted."

"Hibernation... adventure..., a choice must be made."

It raised its head and looked towards the endless void, its eyes gradually becoming solemn: "I am not afraid of death, I am only afraid of dying in vain. Someone must pay the price for welcoming the Creator."

“Swish!”

Thoughts are turning.

A machine hidden somewhere deep underground began to operate, extracting the origin of the world at an extremely slow speed.

An hour later.

A portal made of flames appeared in the sky, and a figure with flying long hair stepped through the portal and appeared in mid-air.

The figure lowered his head and looked at the ground. His deep eyes seemed to be able to see through the mud and fell directly on the slowly running machine.

"Oh……"

He shook his head slightly and the figure flicked his finger downwards.

An arc of electricity flashed.

"boom!"

The earth exploded, and the violent force of thunder penetrated directly into the ground. While destroying the machines, it rapidly expanded in all directions along the veins of the earth, instantly covering an area of ​​hundreds of miles.

When Carl's figure appeared in the air again, he was holding the dying follower of the Creator in his hand.

"There are still high-ranking relatives alive?"

Reaching his hand into the other's head, he said slowly:

"I hope there are clues to other followers in your memory. I haven't found any in half a year."

soon.

Carl's eyes lit up, and he gently waved his hand in front of him, and a portal to another place opened.

When he appeared again, he was already in a base made entirely of various metals.

In front of him was an illusory figure.

"bishop?"

Carl raised an eyebrow.

He has been looking for the Bishop of the Temple for these years, but the other party is so good at hiding that he still has no clues.

I didn't expect to see each other here.

Although not a real person.

“Carl.”

The bishop's figure was only a three-dimensional projection, not the real person, and his words were also preset in advance.

But it's obvious.

The other party knew that Carl would find this place and leave a projection.

"If I die in your hands and the God of War returns, you will be facing a sixth-rank upper god."

"so……"

"Don't come to me!"

Karl touched his chin, his eyes flickering.

'No wonder the Holy Church Bishop can always break through ahead of time under the suppression of the world rules. It turns out that the godhood of the God of War is in him.'

'Is he currently also at the fourth level?'

Most likely not! The bishop did not expand his faith, nor did he experience fierce fighting, so it was impossible for him to become a fourth-level person.

otherwise.

Nor will I keep running away.

"Um?"

While thinking, Carl's eyes moved slightly and a smile appeared on his face: "Kalim has made good progress. I hope I can find a way to break my own limitations from him."

He separated a strand of his thoughts and went to the continent of Kalim, transforming himself into Lin and integrating into the wizarding world.

One reason is that if you can't make it here in the future, you can escape to the other side and have someone to pick you up, and you can also get familiar with the environment of the wizarding world.

Secondly,

He also wants to use the resources of the wizarding world to improve himself. If Lin En becomes stronger, he will also be stronger as the original body.

* * * Weir Town.

Having just experienced an attack by monsters from the abyss, half of the buildings in this town were destroyed and it was almost in ruins.

even,

Even one of the three wizard towers was damaged.

Fortunately, the abyss monster was finally repelled, and several wizards gathered together to discuss the follow-up matters.

"We still don't know the reason for this monster invasion. The academy will contact other organizations to ask for an explanation from the Abyss Hut."

The second-ring wizard sitting in the middle said in a low voice: "A wizard tower was destroyed and more than a dozen academy apprentices died. This matter will not be let go like this."

"yes."

The people below nodded repeatedly.

"The wizard tower needs to be rebuilt. Charles can be in charge of it. He was the one who supervised the construction of the destroyed wizard tower."

"No problem." Charles said, "But reimbursement needs to keep up..."

"certainly."

"The families of the deceased apprentices will be given subsidies and compensation, the corpses of the monsters can be sold for some magic stones, and the apprentices and wizards who participated in the operation will also be paid..."

…

"That's right."

After finishing the serious business, Charles casually said during the chat: "During this monster invasion, I found an apprentice named Lin En, who has great talent."

"He failed this year's assessment for some reason, but his cultivation has reached that of an intermediate wizard apprentice. He also has a solid foundation and a strong affinity for fire."

"What do you mean?" Someone frowned. "He has good talent and enough cultivation. Just let him take the re-examination at the end of the year. Do you think he wants to join the academy directly?"

"Not impossible." Charles smiled. "If someone is willing to accept him as a disciple, according to the rules of the academy, he can enter the academy directly."

“That’s right!”

"He can also make a silencing potion."

Hmm? Before, everyone just listened casually and no one paid attention. However, when they heard that it was possible to refine a Silence Potion, many people became interested.

"I just happen to be in need of an apprentice." A deep voice sounded:

"Let him come to me."

"Kitto..." The only woman in the field raised her eyebrows and hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Since Lin En can make the Silence Potion, why not let him stay in Weier Town to help rebuild the town, and then he can return to the academy after a while."

"Natalie?" Kitto turned his head and looked at the young wizard in front of him, his eyes flickering slightly:

"Okay."

Ever since he got the news from Charles, he has been investigating Lynn specifically.

A very ordinary apprentice.

Average talent.

But she is very beautiful and is said to have been taken care of by Natalie.

"No matter what, I'm determined to accept this apprentice, even if Natalie protects me!"
