Chapter 90: Deploying the Legion, End of Magic Era
"Succeeded? Hahaha, I knew it would work!"
Richard laughed heartily as he retracted the power of the abyss from his body, emitting an infinite holy light. Wherever the holy light shone, the abyss pollution vanished instantly.
After all, the Immortal Country is his world. Although a little bit of abyss pollution expansion felt rather comfortable to him, it was a big problem for the whole world.
After cleaning up some abyss pollution, Richard returned to the underground base.
At this moment, the abyss net path had been completed. From the outside, the entrance of the abyss net path defied human common sense—it looked like a massive black sphere with a diameter of over five hundred meters, rather than a two-dimensional plane.
No matter from which direction one looked, the entrance of the abyss net path appeared as a dark, gaping hole.
However, Richard knew this was merely an illusion caused by a lack of space.
Once the net path stabilized, the first to pass through was naturally the Demon Dragon Yista.
In the entrance, a dragon head slowly appeared, followed by the other four dragon heads.
The five pairs of dark red dragon eyes scanned the entire base, soon locking onto Richard.
The next moment, his body shrunk instantly and quickly flew to Richard's side, obsequiously saying, "Congratulations, my lord, on getting stronger again. You truly deserve to be the blessed of the abyss, your potential is unfathomable."
Richard glanced at him and said with a smile, "Don't give me that, change your body to human form beside me."
"No problem, my lord."
On the side, the White Wolf God looked at the abyssal demon dragon emerging from the net path, his heart filled with dread.
Even though he and the Abyssal Demon Dragon Yista were both at the fifth level, the White Wolf God knew that in a real fight, he would surely die.
A crisp crackling sound came from within the abyssal demon dragon as his body quickly transformed from dragon shape to human form, slightly shorter than Richard.
For an abyssal demon skilled in physique evolution, even without the flesh rule, achieving body transformation through bodily control was not a difficult task.
Seeing that the demon dragon had completed its transformation, Richard calmly said, "I have something to take care of recently, so I can't participate in the war. You go bring the legion over, and let them rest in this world for a while. Also, replenish the equipment."
"Understood, my lord. Do you have any other orders?"
"Control the abyss pollution."
"This... is possible, but as you know, those little ones lack control abilities, and if they stay too long, the abyss transformation will..."
Richard suddenly looked at Yista, smiling as he patted his shoulder.
"Then think of a way to solve it, resources are not an issue."
Yista's expression turned a bit stiff; in that moment, he suddenly felt a terrifying pressure from Richard that made his limbs stiffen.
It was a dual suppression in bloodline strength, as if he were facing his superior demon.
But he was a fifth-level great demon, carrying the giant dragon bloodline. Even a sixth-level great demon could only suppress him with strength.
This kind of suppression could not even be explained by the abyss blessing.
Noticing Yista's reaction, Richard laughed secretly to himself.
"The Titan left a backdoor indeed useful."
When ascending, Richard integrated the Shepherd Star Titan blood, transforming into a half Shepherd Star Titan. The reason he was only a half-Titan was because the integration of Titan blood with the abyss evolution tree was not yet complete.
Currently, most of the life information in Richard's life core was in an unreadable waste code state.
And the integration of Titan bloodline involved inserting these waste codes one by one into the Titan life information, turning them into part of the Titan bloodline.
Once integration is complete, Richard will become the ancestor of the new era Titans.
This is also a form of heritage for the Shepherd Star Titan civilization.
Even without full integration, this new Titan bloodline has suppressive capabilities over abyssal creatures.
Once he completes the integration, even an Abyss Dominator in his presence would have their combat power reduced due to suppression.
Of course, even with reduced combat power, he still won't be able to win.
Leaving the base, Richard took Yista to find a suitable location on the Immortal Continent as the camp for the abyss army to station.
Later, he took Yista to meet the upper echelons of the Immortal Country, to make it easier to find the right people when he needed resources in the future.
"Let me introduce formally, this is the White Wolf God, Master of the Immortal Country, my subordinate god." Richard patted the White Wolf God beside him, introducing him to Yista.
Yista glanced at the White Wolf God, his exterior appearing amicable but a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
The scent of world origin on the White Wolf God was particularly noticeable to abyssal creatures. Moreover, being a world guardian meant the White Wolf God was an assimilated native.
And natives represented weakness.
In Yista, accustomed to the abyss's survival of the fittest, the White Wolf God only counted as reserve food, not even a sandbag.
Sensing Yista's disdain, the White Wolf God felt some anger but was helpless.
Weakness is the original sin.
Richard continued the introduction, "This is my right-hand man, Ulysses, also my subordinate god."
On Richard's shoulder, Ulysses looked at Yista with eyes filled with only killing intent.
He had a world-ending hatred against the abyss, a hatred not easily resolved.
And Yista, noticing Ulysses's killing intent, gave him a sinister smile on his grim dragon head.
The abyss and the gods had fought for so many years, with countless blood feuds between them.
"Don't laugh." Richard slapped the top of Yista's head, "He's the biggest here, you'd best restrain yourself.
Otherwise, if you get hit, I won't speak up for you."
"Haha, understood, I understand."
Richard waved his hand, signaling him to leave. After he left, Ulysses slowly began to speak: "I never thought I would have to become colleagues with such Abyssal Trash; truly makes one sick."
"If you're unhappy with him, you could go beat him up." Richard said nonchalantly, "As long as you don't kill him, you can hang him if you want, I won't stop you."
Compared to Ulysses, Ista was obviously an outsider.
Upon hearing Richard's suggestion, Ulysses was silent for a moment, feeling rather frustrated: "Though I hate to admit it, I can't beat him. At least not now."
Ista, among the Fifth Level Great Demons, could be considered outstanding. On the battlefield, even if encountering a Main God, he can still escape.
Compared to him, Ulysses, who hasn't fought in years, obviously lacked combat strength.
"Then strive harder, my friend." Richard patted his old friend, "To fiercely beat the Abyss Demon, relentlessly become stronger."
After the Abyss Demon Army was settled, Richard returned to the Wizard World through the Teleportation Gate.
One was to inform the Truth Council of the Abyss Army's arrival. The other was to witness the end of the Wizard World's Magic Era.
After several years of development, the End of the Magic Era of the Wizard World is about to arrive.
This is a rare natural phenomenon to behold, and all the Great Wizards will attend, even those at the front lines will send avatars to witness this moment.
...
Wizard World.
"This is the last batch, right?"
In front of the Teleportation Gate of the Tower of Truth, a Working Wizard dressed like an astronaut looked at the Flying Airship entering the gate and asked his colleague.
The colleague glanced at the Crystal Ball in his hand and nodded.
"This is the last batch, after this evacuation, only mortals, the big figures above, and us unlucky ones will remain in this world."
Speaking, the colleague looked towards the distant horizon.
In the falling rain of dried leaves from the World Tree, the sun of the Wizard World is slowly setting.
At this moment, the energy in the air is almost negligible.
Without protective Magic Equipment, the energy within these Working Wizards would uncontrollably disperse outward.
Even Great Wizards living in this environment dare not show any flaw, as otherwise, the gravity of the World Origin could instantly drain a Four Rings Great Wizard of all energy.
"The sun has set, Albo."
The wizard referred to as Albo walked over to his colleague, his voice sounding somewhat strange under the Defense Magic Equipment.
"Don't be melancholy, my friend. The sun setting is a natural law, the sun rising is also a natural law.
We can only adapt."
Soon, the last ray of sunlight sank below the horizon.
The last bit of energy in the air also vanished.
Eternal night had arrived.
...
City of Eternal Truth.
Led by the seven Crown Thrones, all the Great Wizards of the Wizard World gathered.
Silently watching this magnificent spectacle.
"Report, energy reactions in the unit space of the Extreme North area have completely disappeared."
"Report, energy reactions in the unit space of the Southwest Wilderness have completely disappeared."
"Report, energy reactions in the unit space of the Star Cluster Sky Island have completely disappeared."
"Report..."
Accompanied by reports from detection outposts arranged by the Truth Council at various locations, news of complete disappearance of energy reactions came one after another.
The Shaping Energy Crown slowly spoke, "Eternal night has come, the transformation must begin."
For a Great World, energy is an indispensable part. Now that all energy has entered the Earth Veins, the Wizard World is bound to undergo drastic changes.
Boom!
Before the Shaping Energy Crown's words fell, a huge explosion rang out from afar.
Huge dust accompanied by shock waves slowly rose, looking like a meteor falling.
"Star Cluster Sky Island report, the Sky Island is losing power."
As reports from Star Cluster Sky Island came in, outposts set by wizards in other areas also began to report one after another.
"Extreme North report, the Boundary Ice Wall is collapsing."
"Gale Zone report, the Boundary Storm is fading."
"Southwest report, the Quicksand Mountain Range is collapsing."
...
In the reports, those phenomena that once hampered biological exploration of the world's margins are crumbling one by one.
If all goes well, the endless firmament that once restrained creatures from exploring beyond the world has also disappeared.
"This is an Alchemy era." The Shaping Energy Crown suddenly opened his mouth.
Without Extraordinary Power, people will undoubtedly begin to utilize various primitive mechanical powers, and mechanical power is the origin of the Alchemy School.
"No," the Alchemy Crown slowly spoke, "This is an era belonging to 'truth'."
