Chapter 312

On the horizon, the counter-attack legion of the Giant Spirit Realm was like a metallic continent slowly advancing.

The fleet, blotting out the sky and sun, maintained a murderous formation, while massive war beasts emitted low roars, their backs mounted with artillery turrets like mountain ranges.

Countless servant armies of various forms were mixed within, like remoras attached to a whale; their numbers were so vast they seemed to fill the entire sky.

On the wizard side, the grand army was also standing by in full battle array.

Compared to the initial landing battle, the wizard lineup had undergone significant changes.

It was still a massive cannon-fodder legion at the very front, but a large number of strange, never-before-seen units had appeared among them.

Some looked like haphazardly assembled mechanical creations, with gears exposed and pipelines tangled, emitting unstable energy fluctuations.

Others were biochemical beasts with even more twisted forms, emitting targeted energy radiation.

These were another part of the logistics-tier wizards' achievements—new types of cannon-fodder units capable of utilizing enemy corpses, debris, discarded metal, and even dissipated energy on the battlefield to rapidly proliferate or assemble.

The goal was to achieve "fighting to sustain the war" and continuously consume the enemy.

Jie Ming was not currently at the main battlefield inside the Giant Spirit Realm, but had once again arrived outside the plane barrier, in that vast airspace where chaotic void and elemental turbulence intertwined.

As the Giant Spirit Realm mobilized all its strength, they naturally would not be satisfied with merely defending the interior.

The Giant Spirit Realm had also dispatched an elite fleet, intending to retake and seal the massive gap on the plane barrier that looked like a scar.

The wizard command center divided their forces accordingly, conducting targeted battlefield assignments based on each wizard's performance and areas of expertise in the previous round of fighting.

Because of the destructive area-of-effect damage of his 【Great Light Aspect】, which could easily cause friendly fire in the relatively narrow internal battlefield, Jie Ming was assigned to the battlefield outside the plane, where space was more boundless and he could unleash his firepower to his heart's content.

In the void, the massive legions of both sides stood in a distant standoff.

On one side was an orderly metallic frenzy; on the other was a silent and eerie torrent of wizard creations.

The murderous atmosphere almost solidified the restless energy turbulence in the surroundings.

The battle erupted with a boom the moment both sides entered extreme range!

Behind Jie Ming, the massive 【Great Light Aspect】 array had long since unfolded, light flowing through it.

But unlike before, the surfaces of the tens of thousands of talisman wizard tools in the array were no longer engraved with simple energy bullets or ray runes, but with special sorcery models meticulously developed by other wizards in the "Time Law Chamber," targeted at the physiological structure of the Giant Spirit Realm natives!

It was entirely thanks to the automatic factory in his internal space running at full speed that sufficient hardware support was provided for this tactical shift.

"Launch!"

Without needing further orders, the vanguard troops of both sides braced against the sky-filling firepower, colliding violently like two torrents crashing head-on!

With a thought from Jie Ming, the long-accumulated group of scout cannon fodder charged out first.

Together with various self-destructing units released by other wizards, they detonated continuous spheres of destruction within the enemy fleet cluster, instantly clearing a large area and dealing a heavy, head-on blow to the enemy vanguard.

Immediately following this, under the desperate entanglement and cover of the cannon-fodder units, the wizards in the rear began to cast spells.

This time, it was completely different from the cautious approach during the landing battle.

Colorful, varied sorcery brilliance poured out from the wizard camp like a breached dam, smashing down upon the Giant Spirit Realm's legion in a sky-covering manner!

Various corrosive acid mists, tremor waves specifically designed to disintegrate metal structures, interference rays that caused energy circuits to overload, illusion fields that distorted soul perception, and the "Resonance Collapse Wave" from Balsa that could trigger internal rejection and self-replicating spread...

These targeted sorceries displayed astonishing effects.

One area was covered by dark green corrosive mist; the Giant Spirit Realm's warship shields dissolved rapidly like butter meeting a hot knife, and the hulls emitted harsh sizzling sounds, dissolving quickly.

In another airspace, invisible tremor waves swept through; those massive mechanical creations instantly stiffened in their movements, sparks erupted from their joints, and some units with unstable structures even disintegrated directly in mid-air!

Especially terrifying was that these sorceries, developed specifically against the Giant Spirit Realm natives, had minimal impact on the friendly cannon-fodder units mixed into the enemy formation!

The wizards could finally conduct full-coverage firepower strikes without any reservations!

Tragic scenes unfolded everywhere in the void.

Giant Spirit Realm warships lost power in droves under the targeted sorceries, twisting and deforming, or exploding from within.

Powerful war beasts were bound by special energy shackles and then torn apart by swarming cannon-fodder units.

Even on the high-end battlefield, those few Tier 6 wizards faced Giant Spirit Realm Tier 7 powerhouses that far outnumbered them, yet they managed to create a near-crushing situation by relying on various strange, targeted sorceries at their disposal!

The Giant Spirit Realm commanders were furious and shocked; they attempted to conduct indiscriminate coverage attacks as well.

Yet they discovered that their own energy fire and physical ammunition, while eliminating wizard cannon fodder, also caused massive casualties to their own units.

This feeling of being tied hand and foot made them feel so stifled they almost wanted to vomit blood.

The battle situation, from the moment of contact, presented a one-sided trend!

Jie Ming was in a relatively safe area of the wizard formation, and under the tacit protection of other wizards nearby, the 【Great Light Aspect】 continued to shine.

Every second, hundreds of thousands of specialized sorceries were poured onto the enemy army like a fierce storm.

Watching the enemy formation collapse rapidly under targeted strikes, he sighed inwardly.

"It's a pity—the 'Symbiotic Disaster' bacterial colony requires an internal biological environment to take effect; it has no use in this void environment."

This meant he couldn't witness the actual effects of his "plague" on the battlefield with his own eyes, which was a slight regret.

And on the main battlefield inside the Giant Spirit Realm, the situation was equally grim, even more tragic.

The narrow space made the wizards' coverage strikes even more concentrated.

The bacterial colony developed by Jie Ming had been mixed into special shells and fired into the enemy formation at the very beginning of the war, but its subtle influence had not yet attracted much attention, masked by those powerful sorceries with immediate and stunning visual effects.

Under the wizards' "cheating-like" targeted strikes, the Giant Spirit Realm's massive legion retreated even faster than in the previous landing battle!

When the real-time battle damage report showed the loss rate had crossed the 50% critical point, the supreme commander on the Giant Spirit Realm front—the operator inside a giant mechanical puppet with an aura reaching the peak of Tier 7—was so resentful that their entire body trembled violently, their mental fluctuations filled with unwillingness and humiliation.

But they understood that continuing to fight would only lead to the total annihilation of the entire army.

"Retreat—all forces retreat! Hold the second defensive line!" A mental command containing endless fury and frustration spread throughout the entire battlefield.

The remnants of the Giant Spirit Realm army, like a receding tide, carried their wounds and humiliation as they fled the battlefield in a panic, retreating toward the defensive nodes deep within their homeland.

Outside the plane barrier, Jie Ming watched the enemy army retreating like a tide and slowly retracted the light of the 【Great Light Aspect】.

In the second battle, even though the enemy had prepared strength even greater than during the landing battle, the wizard civilization had managed to achieve victory again with a near-crushing posture, relying on targeted research.

The power of knowledge was displayed to the fullest at this moment.
