Chapter 319

On the ground battlefield, Jie Ming was tacitly surrounded by about ten thousand wizards in the center, constituting a moving core of destruction.

He fully urged the 【Great Light Aspect】 array, splashing optimized targeted sorceries toward the most dense areas of the enemy army, clearing large areas of enemies with every flicker.

And the surrounding wizards were like the most loyal guards and sharp spearheads; they either wielded giant weapons shimmering with enchantment brilliance, or drove massive constructs, charging and killing fiercely, forcibly chiseling open and tearing apart the enemy lines that tried to approach.

In the gaps of maintaining high-intensity firepower output, Jie Ming couldn't help but distract himself to observe the group melee charge of the wizard legion.

After all, in most cases, wizards were long-range outputs, and group charges like this were rare.

In the lower airspace, those Tier 6 and Tier 5 wizards who usually lived in seclusion, now facing high-level mechanical creations of the Giant Spirit Realm or mental aggregates of the Mind Realm that far outnumbered them, rolled up their sleeves without fear!

They either turned into energy giants and punched and kicked, or manipulated giant wizard tools for close-quarters combat, and some even unfolded meat wings and tore the enemy to pieces with claws covered in scales!

On the main battlefield below, the situation was even more one-sided.

The Giant Spirit Realm legion, which had always boasted of fusing the advantages of multiple creatures and being good at close-quarters fighting, was as fragile as paper in front of those seemingly "weak" wizards!

The physical strength, speed, defense, and various strange melee techniques displayed by the wizards completely subverted the cognition of the Giant Spirit Realm natives.

On the high-level battlefield, the high-level giant beasts turned into by wizards could slap the Giant Spirit Realm's war beasts until their parts flew everywhere with one claw.

On the low-level battlefield, the metal fists of wizard warriors wearing power armor could easily pierce through the heavy armor of enemy mechanical units.

And those Mind Realm units that were good at mental impact were even more miserable; their mental power was often captured and locked onto by the wizards with keen perception just as it probed out, and then suppressed back with more violent and pure mental power.

This led to the Mind Realm army being mentally damaged and lethargic at best, or their cores exploding directly and turning into nothingness at worst.

The only trouble was that the efficiency of cleaning up the enemy was indeed slower than when the sky was filled with sorcery coverage before.

After all, relying purely on physical means, it ultimately required one punch, one kick, one gun, and one cannon to eliminate them.

Even if there were occasionally giant mechas manipulated by wizards firing energy cannons or giant beasts spitting light beams, their range and frequency could not be compared with the previous sorcery sea.

Therefore, for wizards like Jie Ming who could still maintain efficient area strikes, the burden on their shoulders became abnormally heavy.

Jie Ming had to put in twelve points of spirit, pushing the output power of the 【Great Light Aspect】 to the limit.

The talisman wizard tools in the array flickered at an unprecedented frequency, and even from time to time, units that were overloaded burned out and collapsed in the blinding light.

But he didn't care at all; the automatic factory in his internal space ran at full speed, the damaged talisman wizard tools were recycled instantly, and new units were quickly manufactured and filled the vacancies.

Even in order to increase output efficiency to a greater extent, he also used his life-bound magic treasure, the Five-Cloud Transformation Rainbow Mirror.

Relying on the powerful computing power of the Five-Cloud Transformation Rainbow Mirror, he helped coordinate the launch arrangement of the talisman wizard tools in the array, allowing his output efficiency to increase by another level.

However, what followed was terrifying energy consumption.

Behind the array, the internal energy stored in the three metal discs used as core energy sources was plummeting at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Jie Ming had to divide a part of his mind, like the most efficient machine, every time an energy disc was exhausted, he would instantly ingest it into his internal space, connect it to the Tier 4 large elemental pool for emergency charging, and simultaneously take out a fully charged disc from the backup library to replace it instantly.

He could clearly feel that his output had reached a bottleneck.

It was not that the total energy was insufficient—

The Tier 4 large elemental pool in his body was connected to the elemental plane, and the energy reserve could be called massive.

The problem lay in the output power!

The instantaneous energy output rate of this elemental pool, which should have driven a super-large war construct, was actually about to fail to keep up with the terrifying consumption of the 【Great Light Aspect】 running in overload!

"Sure enough, in a super-large war, in the end, what you fight is the most basic resource reserve and energy output—" Jie Ming had an epiphany in his heart.

No matter how exquisite the sorcery, its essence was a kind of efficient use of energy; when the consumption reached a certain magnitude, the foundation determined the upper limit.

Especially in a war between civilizations like this, when high-end combat power did not intervene, what was ultimately fought was a war of quality.

High above, the battle between Dickson and Koge and Hila had also entered a white-hot stage.

Dickson's dark golden body was like a ghost, coming and going freely in the metal torrents blasted by Koge and the mental maze woven by Hila that was sufficient to distort reality.

His attacks and the sorceries he cast were completely opposite: simple, direct, violent!

Wherever his fists went, the giant arms built by Koge with high-strength alloy were beaten until they twisted and deformed.

Wherever his palm wind passed, the mental entities condensed by Hila were shaken until ripples arose and the light dimmed.

Koge had already been beaten until three backup battle armors that cost huge resources to build exploded, and Hila's mental core was also covered in cracks.

The two world masters had long since lost their will to fight under Dickson's pressure, and only one thought remained in their hearts: escape!

Finally, they seized the moment when Dickson smashed another of Koge's battle armors with a punch and the old force had just gone and the new force had not yet arrived, burning their origins regardless of everything, erupting with unprecedented power!

Koge detonated all the metal fragments around its body to form a destructive storm, and Hila released a mental scream sufficient to freeze the soul, temporarily forcing back Dickson and Obolos who had just hammered the two golden baboons into the ground.

The four (beasts) gathered quickly.

Looking at the two golden baboons that had their golden fur shed, were bruised and swollen, and had withered auras, Koge's mental fluctuations were urgent: "Immediately activate emergency detachment!"

The two golden baboons had long been terrified, but they just hadn't been able to detach from the battle before.

Now that they had the opportunity, they immediately activated their civilization's life-saving device—the hyperspace teleportation runes engraved on their bones.

However, the spatial fluctuations expected did not appear.

The four stared at the teleportation runes that emitted light but did not take effect, and a burst of awkward and deadly silence shrouded them.

"Why—why did it fail?!" A golden baboon patted its chest in terror, the runes still dim.

Koge and Hila instantly understood something, and a bone-chilling cold froze their cores.

They looked up suddenly, looking forward.

Dickson and Obolos were already clenching their fists, with undisguised grins on their faces, once again like beasts eyeing prey, approaching step by step.

"No!"

The desperate resistance didn't last long.

In the face of the absolute power of the two Tier 7 wizards, Koge and Hila, who were burning their lives in a dying struggle, were finally cut off by Dickson with two hand knives.

The massive bodies fell like puppets with broken strings.

Obolos relied on the strangeness of his own laws to successfully capture the two golden baboons that were trying to detonate their cores.

He tied them into zongzi with pitch-black chains and held them in his hands.

He looked at Dickson: "Luck is not bad, with these two living samples, we should be able to parse out the coordinates of the civilization behind them. A Tier 8 civilization good at physical strength—very suitable for modification into new cannon-fodder units."

Dickson put the corpses of the two world masters into his space and nodded with some envy.

Then his gaze turned to the battlefield below, which was still noisy but had already shown signs of defeat.

"It's time to end."

He said lightly, but the voice clearly entered the magic network terminal of every wizard.

The wizard legion that was fighting fiercely immediately retreated like a tide, their movements uniform.

And the coalition of the Giant Spirit Realm and the Mind Realm had long since discovered the outcome of the high-altitude battlefield.

Without the command and support of the world masters, despair spread like a plague.

They didn't even have time to pursue the retreating wizards, and the massive legion collapsed instantly, falling into a complete rout.

Dickson looked calmly at the boundless fleeing enemy army below, as well as the vast Giant Spirit Realm land behind them.

He slowly raised his right hand, and then—pressed down lightly.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no brilliant light.

But the moment Dickson's palm fell, Jie Ming felt his body lighten suddenly, as if some heavy shackle had suddenly disappeared!

He looked up subconsciously—

The scene that came into view made him unforgettable for the rest of his life.

In front, the boundless Giant Spirit Realm land—disappeared!

Not collapsed, not sunken, but like being erased from the world's canvas by an incomparably huge eraser!

Where there should have been mountains, plains, cities, and routed troops, now only a piece of absolute, deep nothingness remained.

One could see the chaotic void outside the plane, where light and strange things were running and energy was surging, through that huge "gap"!

Jie Ming's brain went blank for a moment before he suddenly realized where the feeling of "body lightening" just now came from—this massive plane with a surface area exceeding Jupiter had been forcibly erased of half its substance and mass under this seemingly light blow from Dickson!

The sudden loss of mass led to an instantaneous change in the gravity of the entire plane!

Silence.

Deathly silence shrouded the remaining battlefield.

Whether it was the coalition army that was lucky enough to remain on the other side, or the wizards who were standing by, everyone was shocked by this power that transcended the scope of understanding and lost the ability to speak.

Jie Ming looked at the nothingness that spanned the sky and earth, as well as the figure in the void that was as indifferent as a god, and only one thought remained in his heart:

"This is—the power of a Tier 7 wizard? Prying laws with knowledge, reshaping the plane in a single thought, erasing the world?"

The outcome of the war, under this palm, was no longer in suspense.
