Chapter 592

There was no change between day and night in the banquet hall, the flowing star maps on the dome always maintained the same brightness, and elves and mechanical creatures shuttled among the crowd tirelessly.

But according to his biological clock, three full days had passed since the banquet started.

In three days, wizards drank, chatted, and exchanged academics.

Some found old friends they hadn't seen for many years, some met peers from other forces, and others concluded several deals.

Everyone's face was filled with a gentle smile, and the atmosphere was as enthusiastic as a real gathering.

Jie Ming and Wei Aola were also much more honest.

The places beaten by Lei Si hadn't completely subsided, and the two of them shuttled through the crowd with bruised faces, tasting those amazing delicacies. At a certain moment three days later, four light shadows appeared in the sky at the same time.

It was Felix and the other three major artificial intelligences.

They appeared in the center of the banquet hall abruptly without any warning.

The music in the banquet hall stopped abruptly, and all the elves and mechanical creatures stopped their movements at the same time, turning into light spots and dissipating.

Those long tables covering the square, those exquisite tableware, those delicacies exuding enticing aromas, disappeared without a trace in the same instant. The golden dome faded, revealing the gray-white sky.

"Detected that the other party is ready." The voices of Felix and the other three major artificial intelligences were still calm, as if stating a trivial matter, "About to enter the battlefield."

Thus, the atmosphere of the entire space changed suddenly.

Those wizards who were just drinking and chatting, all the relaxation and leisure on their faces disappeared at this moment.

Someone put away their wine glasses and changed into staffs; someone's formal robes turned into light spots and dissipated, revealing the combat robes they had already worn underneath; others stretched their muscles and bones, and their joints made crackling sounds.

Wizards began to gather silently according to their own levels.

Tier 6 wizards began to gather according to the teams assigned in advance, and Tier 7 wizards rose into mid-air, their eyes as sharp as hawks.

Even those Tier 8 wizards descended from the high sky one after another and dispersed into their respective teams, acting as the leaders of each combat squad. From a lively and gentle banquet to a battlefield full of murderous intent, it only took a few seconds for the wizards.

When the banquet hall changed, Jie Ming began to look for Lei Si's figure with Wei Aola.

Before looking for long, his shoulder was suddenly patted.

Turning his head, Castillo walked to his side at some point.

She had changed out of that red formal robe and replaced it with a dark red combat robe, covered with dense rune patterns. Her aura had also changed, no longer the woman who laughed heartily at the banquet, but a Tier 7 wizard exuding a cruel aura.

"Your mentor is over there." She raised her chin toward a certain direction, "Follow him closely later, don't run around."

Castillo looked at Lei Si again, the corners of her mouth rising slightly: "Take care of yourself."

Lei Si nodded expressionlessly: "You too."

Jie Ming and Wei Aola immediately stood up straight and smiled.

"Goodbye, Mentor's wife."

"Mentor's wife, you are too polite!"

The two were still in a bruised state, and when they smiled, they could even see the gaps in their teeth. Castillo smiled at the two, then her face became calm again, and she turned and walked toward the area of the Crimson Throne.

The team over there had already gathered, all in deep red robes, exuding a strong bloody smell.

Castillo walked to the front of the team, chatted with several Tier 7 wizards in low voices, and then merged into that sea of red.

Lei Si walked to Jie Ming and Wei Aola's side.

He had changed into a combat robe, and the expression on his face returned to his usual indifference.

The rough bracelet on his wrist was still worn steadily.

"Let's go." He said.

When he raised his leg, he paused again, looked at the state of the two, and sighed: "Sorry to trouble you two this time, you don't need to maintain this state anymore."

Jie Ming and Wei Aola laughed immediately upon hearing this.

Jie Ming wiped his face, the bruised state immediately returned to normal, and even the missing teeth grew back. Wei Aola on the side was the same, and then the two followed Mentor Lei Si and quickly merged into the team next to them.

As the wizards of the four major forces separated, the earth began to vibrate.

The four ship planes slowly separated, and the temporary connection channels between them broke and dissipated.

But this separation was different from before, the form of each ship plane began to change drastically as they separated.

The metal platform under Jie Ming's feet was folding and reorganizing, even expanding rapidly, and countless new structures rose from under the ground.

Rune towers, energy nodes, protective screens, attack arrays...

The entire ship plane was like a giant beast waking up, every "muscle" was expanding, every "bone" was being reinforced. When the change stopped, Jie Ming looked at the behemoth under his feet and couldn't help but gasp.

This is the signature war weapon of the Star Ring Alliance, named "Quantum Entanglement Flagship."

The entire ship plane had turned into a giant ring with a diameter of more than 10 million kilometers, covered with countless rune nodes, each node emitting faint blue light.

Those lights flickered at a specific frequency, echoing each other, forming an energy network covering the entire ring.

In the center of the ring, a twisted quantum cloud was slowly rotating, which was the core of this flagship—an ultimate engine capable of instantly clearing an area measured in light-years.

In the other three directions, the other three behemoths also revealed their fangs.

The "Perfect Ecological Flesh Nest" of the Crimson Throne unfolded intertwined, it was a giant structure intertwined with flesh and metal, covered with countless wriggling organs and tissues on the surface.

It was breathing, and every breath would spray a large amount of red mist, those mists condensed into various twisted forms in the air, and then were re-absorbed by the nest.

Inside the nest, countless culture pods were operating, inside which were various combat creatures that had undergone transformation. They were sleeping, waiting to be awakened at any time.

The "Folded Palace" of the Void Architecture Academy looked like a building that violated all physical common sense.

Its structure was constantly changing, presenting different geometric forms every second.

Cubes, spheres, polyhedra, hypercubes... all forms existed at the same time, and disappeared at the same time.

Its surface was covered with silver-white runes, each rune flickering at the speed of light.

The "Torrent Star Ring" of the Anti-Entropy Alliance looked like a river composed of countless silver-white particles, flowing slowly in the void. Those particles were nano-scale combat units, each with independent consciousness and combat capability.

They could form any form, penetrate any defense, devour any matter, and self-replicate.

When they gathered together, it was a torrent capable of drowning everything.

These four war machines were the ultimate creations of the four wizard forces.

Jie Ming stood on the edge of the Quantum Entanglement Flagship, looking at the other three equally huge figures in the distance, and a kind of indescribable feeling surged in his heart. This... is the power of the wizard civilization.

The space in front of the flagship began to twist.

Countless runes lit up at the same time, the quantum cloud rotated frantically, releasing energy capable of tearing the plane barrier.

A huge crack slowly opened in the void, opposite the crack was that strange star field in the endless chaotic void.

At the same time the spatial crack opened, Jie Ming saw the scene on the opposite side.

Then, he couldn't help but gasp.

Coming toward them were "warships" pieced together from broken plane fragments.

Those fragments were of different sizes and shapes, as if forcibly glued together by some kind of violence.

In the gaps between the fragments, one could see countless shriveled corpses and wailing souls—they were the fuel for this warship, being slowly burned.

The surface of the warship was covered with rough runes, each rune emitting an ominous dark red light.

The structure of those runes was extremely primitive, but each one contained amazing energy.

They were the masterpieces of countless wizards, and also the graveyards of countless lives.

And on those warships, there were also countless wizards standing.

The moment Jie Ming saw them clearly, a strong sense of dissonance surged in his heart.

The wizards on his side were dressed gorgeously, their temperament cold and rational, full of the composure of a high-level civilization.

And those wizards on the opposite side... regardless of their level, their faces were as withered as if all their vitality had been squeezed out.

Their bodies presented various deformed states, some had grown extra arms, some had faces covered with split eyes, and some had bodies twisted into irregular shapes.

Their robes were also in various forms, and some even looked like living creatures.

But what Jie Ming cared about most was the emotion revealed in their eyes.

There was no rationality, no composure in those eyes, only extreme madness and greed.

They looked at the wizards on this side like hungry wolves seeing fresh meat, like drowning people grabbing driftwood.

That kind of primitive look made Jie Ming's spine chill.

He suddenly felt that if the wizards on this side were more like the arcanists or mages he saw in his previous life, then the wizards of that world on the opposite side were the existences that better fit the name "wizard."

Weird, crazy, unscrupulous.

After the shock, Jie Ming quickly began to evaluate the strength of the other party.

The number of Tier 6 wizards on the opposite side was not small, but each one was transformed quite radically, and some even had difficulty maintaining a human form in their normal state.

But the threat they emitted was far lower than the Tier 6 wizards around him.

Like a knife that looked scary, but the edge was actually blunt.

There were also some Tier 7 wizards, but the number was far less than on this side.

As for Tier 8 wizards...

Jie Ming narrowed his eyes and sensed carefully for a long time, finally confirming a fact: the number of Tier 8 wizards on the opposite side was extremely scarce.

It seems it was exactly the same as what Dean Avery Knight said.

Without Tier 9 wizards to balance the forces and set the rules, the parallel world wizard civilization was far inferior to them in all aspects.

(I have something to do tomorrow, so I'm asking for a day off in advance.)
