Chapter 567

The battle began without any warning.

"Heart of Ash" Ma Ding raised his hand first.

His movements were extremely restrained, and the moment his cuffs slipped, three black electric lights shot out silently.

That was not any lightning, but "Void Rifts" compressed to the extreme.

The light domain passed along the way made no sound, just disappeared out of thin air, leaving three absolute dark trajectories.

Relying on the characteristics of space-type wizardry, even though the two sides were separated by an unknown number of kilometers, these three electric lights arrived in front of the Silent Abyss in an instant. The Silent Abyss did not dodge.

It just looked sideways slightly, and those three rifts capable of swallowing planets stopped suddenly at a distance of ten thousand meters from it, and then, like pencil marks erased by an eraser, faded and disappeared bit by bit.

"Modifying information, huh..." Ma Ding narrowed his eyes, countless runes flashing rapidly in his pupils, "Has the intensity increased by so much?"

At this moment, the Silent Abyss moved.

The moment it raised its right hand, the energy of half the plane began to riot.

【Formatting: Area Zero】.

A silent command erupted at the information level.

A light screen the size of half a plane swept forward like a tsunami; wherever it passed, whether it was free elemental or space, all attributes were stripped away in an instant, forcibly turning into the most primitive zero-state void.

Feeling the power of this blow, Ma Ding tapped his finger lightly.

BOOM!!!

A mass of dark red fire seeds exploded in front of him, instantly expanding into a huge fire lotus spanning tens of thousands of kilometers.

Each petal of the lotus was engraved with twisted wizard runes; that was a "logical island" Ma Ding forcibly opened up with his own computing power.

No matter how the information waves outside washed and how they tried to format, the laws inside the fire lotus were self-contained and as stable as a rock.

"The means are not bad, but relying solely on computing power, you can't take me down."

Ma Ding's voice was cold.

He waved his robe violently, and dark red ashes condensed into countless tentacles capable of crushing planets in the void, spanning half the distance of the plane, carrying destructive elemental output, and whipped fiercely toward that giant of light.

This blow is enough to make an ordinary material plane disintegrate on the spot!

However, the giant of light only flashed its eyes.

【Modify Definition: Hardness is negative, mass is zero】.

The moment the ash tentacles were about to touch it, the attack that could destroy the plane suddenly became softer than clouds and smoke, and even passed directly through the giant's body, failing to cause half a point of damage.

Pure white pillars of light and dark red ash streams shot and intersected within a range of hundreds of millions of kilometers.

Every collision would trigger large areas of space collapse.

Ma Ding suddenly seemed to sense something and looked up.

Only to see that at some point, the light above his head began to distort, condensing into a giant hand with a diameter of over one hundred thousand kilometers.

The texture of that palm was composed of countless starlight, and every finger was entangled with the underlying laws of this plane.

It pressed down, without any sound of wind or roar, only pure, suffocating "presence."

Seeing this, Ma Ding took a deep breath: "So troublesome..."

He subconsciously looked at the outpost camp that had just been established behind him, his figure flashed, and he turned into thousands of afterimages, scattering in all directions with the outpost camp as the center.

Each afterimage carried a part of his computing power and began to construct different defensive wizardry while flying.

The moment the giant hand fell, three thousand six hundred nodes lit up simultaneously.

Fire, ice, crystal walls, force fields, space faults, time delays, causal displacement...

Three thousand six hundred distinct wizardries erupted simultaneously, forcibly tearing a fine crack in the giant hand capable of crushing stars. When the giant hand fell, the outpost camp constructed by the wizards happened to slide through the crack.

The expression of the Silent Abyss remained calm, or rather, it didn't need to know how to express emotions.

Seeing that the attack did not achieve the expected effect, it mobilized information authority again, trying to mark the existence of "Heart of Ash" Ma Ding itself as "error data" for deletion.

But this time, it encountered resistance.

The wizard's main body had transferred to the finger joint of the giant hand at some point; he bit the tip of his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of black blood. That blood burned in the air, turning into dense rune chains, spreading crazily along the texture of the giant hand.

There were even a large number of rune chains that directly crossed the isolation of space and extended to the main body of the Silent Abyss through the giant palm.

The Silent Abyss looked down at the chain-like patterns that suddenly appeared on its arm; it could feel that these chains had locked its authority to modify this part of information.

"Caught you." Ma Ding said softly.

The next second, his hands slammed together.

With the giant hand as a medium and the chains as a link, an elemental torrent capable of burning the origin of the plane was forcibly poured into the information core of the Silent Abyss. Fire, frost, thunder, acid corrosion, radiation, decay...

All known and unknown elemental damage was compressed into a thin line that was almost invisible under his control, heading straight for the consciousness core of the Silent Abyss.

Facing such an attack, the Silent Abyss finally made a move.

It raised its right hand and decisively tore off its left arm connected to the gray chains and discarded it.

The moment the left arm detached from the main body of the Silent Abyss, it was immediately turned into void by the attack.

But this attack did not stop, but continued to fly toward the Silent Abyss.

Seeing this, the Silent Abyss raised its right hand and spread its five fingers.

That elemental thin line capable of piercing stars began to decompose at a distance of three feet from its palm.

All the power and knowledge within the elemental thin line were forcibly "dismantled" back into the most basic information units; the Silent Abyss read this information, and a hint of interest-like emotion flashed in its eyes.

The next moment, Ma Ding's face changed drastically.

He found that the light around him began to distort, space coordinates were forcibly modified, and the Silent Abyss, which was originally half a plane away, appeared less than ten thousand meters in front of him instantly.

This distance, for existences of their level, is equivalent to face-to-face.

The Silent Abyss did not speak.

It just stretched out its restored left arm, raised a finger, and pointed forward lightly.

A pure white pillar of light shot out from its fingertip, heading straight toward the outpost camp behind Ma Ding.

That pillar of light was terrifyingly thick, with a diameter of over a thousand meters, and space was distorting wherever it passed.

Massive amounts of energy were gathered, condensed by the information analyzed just now, and formed this powerful attack.

Looking at this terrifying attack, Ma Ding laughed instead.

"Copying my moves?"

He raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and pressed forward virtually.

It seemed that he just made a simple action without performing additional spellcasting.

But that white pillar of light capable of destroying stars suddenly stopped when it was still a few kilometers away from the outpost camp.

It hovered in the air, as if held by an invisible giant hand, unable to move.

"Although you know the relevant knowledge, the operation is too rough."

Ma Ding gripped his five fingers lightly.

BOOM!

That pillar of light exploded from the middle, turning into countless fine light spots, scattering and flying.

The aftermath of the explosion formed ripples visible to the naked eye, spreading in all directions.

Those ripples swept across the sea of light of the Information Plane, setting off monstrous waves.

Inside the outpost camp, Jie Ming felt his scalp tingle.

This is the strength of a Level 8 wizard?

With a casual grip, he crushed an attack capable of destroying a planet?

Although he had participated in wizard wars, strictly speaking, this was his first time feeling the power of a Level 8 wizard so intuitively. The Silent Abyss, whose attack was frustrated, did not stop.

It raised both hands simultaneously and flicked its ten fingers continuously.

Countless tiny light filaments shot out from its fingertips; those light filaments intertwined, entangled, and wove in the air, forming a giant net that covered the sky and the sun, shrouding the outpost camp.

Every light filament was an independent attack, and every attack contained different information logic.

Some tried to tamper with causality, some tried to pollute the core, and some went straight for the spiritual sea of the wizards.

This is the attack method that information-based organisms are best at: multiple information parallel intrusion.

Ma Ding's laughter rang out.

"This move is already useless against us."

He raised his left hand and drew lightly in the air with his index finger.

A gray light flew out from his fingertip, meeting the giant net.

Wherever the gray light passed, those light filaments that were originally intertwined suddenly began to conflict and attack each other.

This was Ma Ding using his own information logic to forcibly intervene in the opponent's weaving process, causing the logic of those light filaments to conflict. The giant net began to collapse in mid-air.

And Ma Ding even had the energy to spare a portion of his power to protect the wizard outpost camp that had just been built behind him.

A layer of pale gray light shield shrouded the entire camp, completely isolating the aftermath of those scattered energies.

Jie Ming quickly withdrew his gaze from the distant battlefield and took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart.

He couldn't intervene in the fight between top-tier combatants yet.

But he had his mission.

Jie Ming turned and ran toward the center of the camp.

There, a Level 5 wizard was manipulating a giant puppet, carrying something and walking over with big strides.

That was an altar.

The Fate System and altar connection that Jie Ming had personally designed and personally engraved before.

But at this moment, it was more than three times larger than the original, and the base was also connected to an entire magic array node, and even a large piece of foundation dug directly from the ship plane.

"Lord Jie Ming!" That wizard jumped off the puppet and shouted excitedly, "I carried the things you wanted!"

Jie Ming looked at the giant puppet that even carried the foundation, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Carried...

It's really direct enough.

But he didn't have time to complain.

In the distance, the battle between Ma Ding and the Silent Abyss was becoming more and more intense; although Ma Ding was currently occupying the upper hand, this is the Information Plane, the opponent's home field.

The energy the Silent Abyss can mobilize is almost infinite; the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it is for the wizard side.

"All Black Giant Priests, come out!"

Jie Ming's mind moved, and the door of the cave in his body opened with a bang.

The remaining hundreds of black figures rushed out simultaneously and landed around him.

These Black Giant Priests were each over two meters tall, and black liquid metal flowed slowly on their bodies, swallowing the surrounding light.

"According to what I taught before, reassemble the altar!"

Jie Ming pointed to the huge altar, "You five, be responsible for rune calibration! You ten, be responsible for energy node connection! The rest, fix the magic array base!"

Hundreds of Black Giant Priests moved simultaneously.

Their intelligence was already far superior to ordinary Black Giants, and they had practiced several times in advance, so at this moment, the division of labor was clear and the cooperation was tacit. Some carried rune bases, some laid energy lines, some adjusted node positions, and some tested connection stability.

Jie Ming stood in the center of the altar, golden light flickering between his brows.

He connected to every priest through the Fate System, monitoring the assembly progress of the altar in real-time, and dealing with possible problems at any time. The surrounding environment began to fluctuate violently.

The distant information sea surged endlessly; that was countless information-based organisms frantically mobilizing energy.

Clearly, although they sent out the Silent Abyss, the information-based organisms did not give up on using the legion to attack.

Or rather, at this time, the attack of the information-based organism legion had arrived.

Jie Ming could feel that countless information tentacles were trying to infiltrate the outpost camp.

They surged from all directions, looking for loopholes in the defensive magic array, looking for gaps in the spiritual seas of the wizards.

"Don't worry about those!"

The roar of a Level 7 wizard rang out.

He and a dozen other Level 7 wizards stood on the outermost periphery of the camp, fiercely confronting those information-based organism armies.

They were casting the "Information Weaving" spell developed by Jie Ming.

Although Jie Ming hadn't had time to simplify it, for these high-tier wizards, this period of time was enough for them to fully master it. Invisible information blades slashed out from their hands, precisely cutting into the network of information-based organisms, forcibly splitting those originally tightly connected individuals.

The originally dense information-based organism army began to appear in "isolated islands."

"Do it!"

More wizards rushed up.

They cast various information-type spells, confronting those information-based organism legions that had been split and surrounded head-on.

After conducting a lot of research on information-based organisms, wizards were already at an advantage when facing them.

However, although the information-based organisms were now split and surrounded by high-tier wizards and wiped out in batches, their numbers were truly too many.

In those separated areas, many information-based organisms were still frantically impacting the barrier.

The battle instantly entered a white-hot stage.

And on Jie Ming's side, the assembly of the altar also reached the final moment.

"Energy node connection complete!"

"Rune calibration complete!"

"Magic array base fixed!"

The voices of the Black Giant Priests rose and fell one after another.

Jie Ming took a deep breath and pressed both hands on the core of the altar.

"Fate System, activate!"

The golden light between his brows flourished.

At that moment, the entire altar came alive. Countless runes lit up simultaneously, energy circuits connected layer by layer, and a thick golden pillar of light soared into the sky from the center of the altar, piercing the firmament.

Ma Ding, who was fighting the Silent Abyss, looked back, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

Then he turned back and looked at the hundred-meter-tall humanoid organism.

"Now, we can play properly."

He raised both hands simultaneously.

This time, the power of a Level 8 wizard poured out without reservation.

In the distant sky, the color changed instantly.
