Chapter 147 Epic Victory

Outside Hebitson City, the battle in the sky was in full swing.

Mirror, split in two, had two mirrored avatars, each surrounded by a layer of mirror-light domain. With invincible posture, she fought against two Ninth-Order Archmages.

Various high-level spells from both sides clashed, and fireworks-like, brilliant elemental shock waves exploded in the sky. The sound was deafening, and the entire sky seemed to be dyed into a colorful canvas.

Suren, on the other hand, controlled two ten-thousand-strong gargoyle legions, fighting a legion war against the ten-thousand-mage groups from the Celestial Plane on another battlefield.

The legions clashed and interspersed with each other, with alchemical techniques and legion magic colliding, making for an equally intense battle.

Previously, he and Mirror had broken through five mage groups with irresistible force, leaving seven remaining. The Celestial Plane guys knew how powerful they were, so they thought about condensing a super battle formation to deal with them.

But Suren knew every tactic of the enemy like the back of his hand. How could he give them a chance?

Just as the enemy was condensing their battle formation, he teleported and broke through three more groups.

The remaining four ten-thousand-mage groups formed a super battle formation of forty thousand, which had been maintained until now.

Now, whether it was the battle between the Ninth-Orders or the battle between legions, both had reached a stalemate.

It was impossible to tell who would win in a short time.

However, for Suren, a war of attrition was what he liked to see most.

With the dual blood replenishment of the [Isaac Alchemy Heart] and [Blood Devour], the longer the war of attrition lasted, the better for him.

Moreover, the golem legion was not afraid of attrition. They were never afraid of any charge or collision at any time.

But the mages of the Celestial Plane were flesh and blood. Every collision resulted in hundreds of casualties. The more they fought, the fewer they became, and the more the legion's combat power diminished.

As time went on, the enemy's chances of winning would become lower and lower.

The guys from the Celestial Plane were anxious and tried to break the situation. But after trying various methods, they became more and more desperate.

Because there were only two opponents.

But from the beginning, when they couldn't deal with Suren and Mirror, it was destined that they would only lose and not win.

............

Outside the city, the fighting was fierce, and shock waves crashed like tsunamis, wave after wave.

Hebitson, already in ruins, had various buildings collapsing from time to time. Occasionally, Earthquake, Meteorite, and Storm spells fell into the city by mistake, collapsing large swaths of buildings.

But even with such great risks, it could not stop the enthusiasm of the people watching this epic battle.

Various high-rise buildings, iron towers, and high bridges in Hebitson City were filled with people holding telescopes, looking at the battlefield.

"That's Mirror of the Dawn Organization, she's really too strong!"

"Hahaha, one person is suppressing two Ninth-Order Archmages without any power to fight back. Our alchemy is indeed much stronger than magic!"

"Look at that puppeteer, he's also ridiculously strong. He alone has blocked four ten-thousand-mage groups?! It's incredible, he alone is worth hundreds of thousands of troops."

"Yes, it's really too strong. The once invincible ten-thousand-mage group has been beaten like this by a puppeteer. Oh, I also saw mechanical golems in the golem legion!"

"That's no ordinary puppeteer! I heard people say that he is a Puppet Master, a faction founded by Lady Cereia, the wife of Sir Isaac a thousand years ago..."

"One person is a legion, is this a puppeteer... it's so cool! I've decided, I want to become a puppeteer in the future!"

"The top combat power of our alchemy plane is really too strong!"

"Hahaha, yes, I thought it was a little unbelievable when I read the newspaper before. Now that I've seen it with my own eyes, I know that Dawn is really too strong!"

"..."

Watching the Celestial Plane's magic legions being beaten so badly for the first time, the onlookers were all excited.

Looking at the two figures in gold-patterned cloaks on the battlefield, they felt as if their hearts were surging with hot blood, wishing they could be on the battlefield and kill the enemy themselves.

The two figures in their sight seemed to have magic, making it impossible to look away. That domineering aura made everyone's heart rise with a belief: we will win!

.............

After several hours of fighting, a battle that was already destined to end finally came to a conclusion.

Suren used the golem legion to gradually erode those ten-thousand-mage groups. Mirror had been showing no signs of weakness. The guys from the Celestial Plane became more and more anxious. Seeing no hope of breaking the situation, the two Ninth-Order Archmages thought about rushing to kill the people at the port of Hebitson, looking for a chance to escape.

However, Black's ten-thousand-warlock legion had been waiting for a long time.

Although the two Ninth-Order Archmages fought desperately and caused some casualties to the enemy, one was eventually trapped in the ten-thousand-mage group and besieged to death by Black using legion tactics, and the other was beheaded by Mirror on the spot.

Two Ninth-Order Archmages and twelve ten-thousand-mage groups, this was a heavy loss.

In fact, the mages from the Celestial Plane were not entirely underestimating the enemy.

But they had to fight.

After losing eight ten-thousand-mage groups in the Imperial Strait battle, and then losing three Archmages and nine Eighth-Order Grand Magisters in the Clementon battle, the guys from the Celestial Plane had become wary.

They also guessed that the Alchemy Plane might have top-level power beyond their intelligence.

But now the United Empire had sent thousands of ships, this was the only good opportunity since the invasion to seize a large number of ships to attack.

How could they not seize such a good opportunity?

Besides, even if they didn't talk about the ships, they couldn't just watch the alchemical natives in the occupied areas, who could originally be converted into believers, be moved away.

For this operation, they had mobilized almost all the forces they could mobilize, except for the guarding forces near the plane passage. If they avoided the battle, there would be no chance later.

Without fighting, there would be no point for their vanguard group to exist.

After all, their actions were not just for themselves, but mainly to follow the will of the gods.

In the eyes of the gods, human life was like grass.

Just some human believers. Losing these hundreds of thousands was probably just the price of losing a strand of hair.

...................

The epic battle ended with the annihilation of the enemy. Hebitson City was an ocean of joy.

People embraced each other warmly, cheering, dancing, and celebrating this unprecedented victory.

After the celebration, the embarkation team at the dock, which had been chaotic due to the war, became orderly. People were no longer rushing to board the ship like before.

Because everyone understood that, as promised by the military, the population relocation plan at the port would last for a long time after this battle.

The number of people currently descending from the Celestial Plane was limited. After these twelve ten-thousand-mage groups were destroyed, the mage groups in the north of Mafa were almost completely wiped out, and they had no power to attack the port again.

This battle was not only a stunning victory, but also more importantly, it was a deterrent to the enemy.

Today, Suren and Mirror had wiped out two Ninth-Order Archmages and twelve ten-thousand-mage groups. This terrifying combat power had made everyone know how powerful the top combat power of the Alchemy Plane was.

If the enemy wanted to attack again, they would have to weigh whether they were qualified.

Moreover, Dawn would not give the enemy that opportunity.

Since Suren and Mirror had come, they would stay in Mafa for a long time in the future.

They wanted to create more breathing room for the Alchemy Plane.

The major cities in Mafa that had fallen usually only had one or two ten-thousand-mage groups stationed, which posed almost no threat to them.

In the days to come, the battles would continue.

But it was the enemies from the Celestial Plane who would be worried.

The news of the great victory in Hebitson was transmitted back to Ruyen through various channels, and it quickly spread throughout Mafa.

The resistance forces who were still fighting in the front-line mountains also learned the encouraging news.

In the city, the scene was filled with joy.

But Suren and Mirror, as the greatest contributors, did not go to celebrate any victory. They did not like crowds. After the war, they only rested silently in an inconspicuous small valley outside the city.

Mirror was meditating in a cross-legged position, recovering the physical strength and combat insights consumed in the previous battle.

Suren harvested the souls of two Ninth-Orders, and his understanding of the laws skyrocketed again.

And with the Alchemy Heart, he quickly recovered his physical strength, took out the Philosopher's Stone, and began to refine the corpses of the two Ninth-Order Archmages.

The Nine-pointed Star Formation shone brightly, and the two corpses gradually turned into strands of law, and then merged together, becoming pure "Elemental Law Strands."

These two Archmages were both elemental mages, and the laws they comprehended were of the same type.

Suren watched the appraisal show that the two Archmages had extracted a total of 72% of the law strands, and then took out the 29% that had been stored before.

He tried to fuse them with the Philosopher's Stone, and before long, it successfully turned into a dazzling seven-color gemstone.

"It really worked!"

Suren looked at the gemstone in front of him, which was identified as [Cosmic Twenty-fifth Essence · Element], and his face was overjoyed.

Although he had known that it was theoretically possible, this was the first time he had refined a complete cosmic essence.

It was also the first time in countless years that someone in the Alchemy Plane had refined a cosmic essence!

...................

Seeing this, even Mirror, who was on the side, opened her eyes, her crystal eyes filled with expectant joy, and couldn't help but ask: "Did it succeed?"

Suren nodded and said happily: "Yes! It's an elemental essence."

[Cosmic Twenty-fifth Essence · Element] is a universal essence, and almost all professions that follow the elemental sequence can use it to fuse and advance.

Not only are there many elemental mages in the magic system, but there are also many alchemists who follow the elemental system, accounting for almost 70%.

For example, Black, a polymath who is proficient in all kinds of laws, is very suitable for this kind of essence.

Hearing this, Mirror's eyes trembled, unable to hide her joy. This was of great significance to the alchemical civilization!

This newly refined essence solved the biggest obstacle for alchemists to advance to the Ninth-Order. From now on, Eighth-Order professionals in the Alchemy Plane would no longer have to gamble on luck to find cosmic essences in ancient ruins to advance to the Ninth-Order. They could refine it themselves!

But obviously, the problem still existed.

After Suren finished speaking, he muttered excitedly: "It took the corpses of three Ninth-Order Archmages to refine one cosmic essence. I'm afraid there is still a big gap in the quantity. Moreover, it will be more difficult to hunt Ninth-Orders in the future."

The enemy was not stupid. After being killed two Ninth-Order Archmages in a row, they would definitely be on guard.

Not to mention hiding and not giving Dawn a chance to hunt them, next time they really meet, it might not be two or three.

It would be more and more difficult to find this kind of opportunity to extract law strands from corpses.

"Yes."

Mirror nodded when she heard this, and also realized the problem.

Although the Alchemy Plane had few Ninth-Orders, the total number of Eighth-Order professionals was also quite a few. As it stood now, at least a dozen or twenty cosmic essences were needed to fully meet the demand, in order to promote a new batch of Ninth-Orders.

And in the future, after the plane's upper limit was raised, more and more professionals would advance to the Eighth-Order, and the gap would be even greater.

From a longer-term perspective, she also wanted the alchemists of the Alchemy Plane to still have cosmic essences thousands of years later.

Instead of using it up in their generation, and then the lineage being cut off again.

Suren said here, glanced at Mirror, and said: "Senior Sister, I have an idea..." Before he finished speaking, Mirror obviously understood and asked instead: "Are you talking about the 'Burial Ground of the Gods'?" Suren nodded: "Yes!"

Whether it was hunting Ninth-Order mages or some Ninth-Order magical beasts, it was all a matter of luck, and there were also luck factors.

For the current shortage of essence, it was still a bit short.

Even the death-type essence that Suren himself needed had no clue.

Therefore, he had long considered whether there were other ways to solve the problem.

Since cosmic essence could be extracted from Ninth-Order corpses, what about the corpses of gods?

The Alchemy Plane was very special. It was once the battlefield of the War of the Gods.

Although the plane was shattered in the battle, it was not without benefits.

This broken plane not only left countless treasures, but also many relics of the gods!

Because the law limit of the Alchemy Plane was low, those god-level relics that had been buried in the dust of history for countless years had not been touched by anyone even to this day.

Just from what Suren knew, there were several tombs of gods, such as the Sea God's Tomb in the Sea Ruins, the God's Tomb in the Mountain Giant Mountain of the Mountain Dwarves, and the "Burial Ground of the Gods" in the Silent Forest!

.....................

Mirror could not guess what Suren was thinking, and said with a serious expression: "That Burial Ground of the Gods is very dangerous... Even my father did not have the confidence to explore it."

"Yes."

Suren also nodded.

Of course he knew it was dangerous.

If there was enough time, Suren might slowly find other opportunities to create the essence he needed.

But they didn't have much time left now.

Once the plane passage was completely stabilized, Ninth-Order mages could descend in large numbers.

Concentrated fire to push forward.

At that time, the enemy might not give the Alchemy Plane any chance to resist at all, directly...

Relying solely on the current two Ninth-Order professionals in the Alchemy Plane, it was impossible to stop them. Therefore, they had to take risks,

Speed up the process and improve the overall combat power of the Alchemy Plane as soon as possible.

Moreover, the Burial Ground of the Gods was a taboo place that others could not touch at all, but for the Daru tribe who lived in the Silent Forest in that era, they had mastered more information.

According to the information Suren obtained from Yuta, the most important reason why the Burial Ground of the Gods was sealed by the ancestors of the Daru tribe was that they were afraid of some demon kings, strange creatures, and terrifying things that were born in the tomb because of the corpses of the gods.

Furthermore, the tomb itself had "great horror" overflowing from it.

Suren didn't know what those things that were passed down by the Daru tribe as "great horror" were before, but from his understanding, he guessed that it was very likely the chaotic power of law that was scattered from the corpses after the gods fell.

This was indeed a fatal danger to existences below the god level.

But this was also the most important thing for refining cosmic essence!

Although the Burial Ground of the Gods had existed for countless years, the overflowing power of chaotic laws was still deadly. Suren guessed that if he really went there to refine cosmic essence, the quantity might be very amazing.

.....................

The two of them didn't say much. After talking about a few keywords, they knew what they wanted to express to each other.

Mirror listened and fell into a long silence.

She was very clear that the risk of unlocking the Burial Ground of the Gods was very high, but if they didn't go, they really couldn't solve the urgent needs of the Alchemy Plane.

Thinking about it, she didn't rush to make a decision, and looked at Suren again and asked: "Are you confident?"

"I don't know."

Suren shook his head, naturally he was not very confident, and said: "I plan to go over and take a look after the situation in Mafa is stable. If there is a chance, I still plan to try it."

Mirror heard this, thought about it, and said seriously: "Okay. I'll go with you then.

Compared with opening the seal and bringing unknown disasters to the Alchemy Plane, the disaster of the Celestial Plane's invasion was obviously more direct and more urgent.

When two evils meet, she also prefers the former.

Moreover, their current strength also allowed them to make some attempts.

"Yes."

Suren nodded, with his Senior Sister together, the success rate would naturally increase greatly.

The place where the gods fell must have a large number of death law strands. This was the only way he could think of to obtain death essence.

Although that was a place that even Sir Isaac thought was very dangerous, Suren's current situation was not the same.

He now had the Philosopher's Stone in his hand.

As it stood now, this thing was called an alchemical holy object, and it was not just that it could be absolutely equally exchanged.

Just the fact that it could deal with the law strands that even Mirror could not handle had already given Suren three more points of confidence.

As long as it was not a danger that would kill him upon touch, he thought there were still some opportunities.

Moreover, there was also the support of Yuta, the great druid of the Daru tribe.

That Burial Ground of the Gods could be explored.

......

Before long, Suren and Mirror had adjusted their breathing, and the two quietly returned to Hebitson City.

Everywhere in the city ruins was still celebrating, and the people moving at the dock were also orderly.

Suren sensed the coordinates, and with a teleport, he had appeared in a broken building.

As soon as he arrived, he heard a group of people excitedly discussing something.

"Hey, Brulu, you're not lying to me, are you? Is Gick really a disciple of the Alchemy Grandmaster of Dawn?"

"How could I lie to you!"

"That was what Garen and I said personally! They were bombing before because the two adults came to the rescue and survived. They also saw the faces of the two adults with their own eyes. And he also heard Gick call that Alchemy Grandmaster 'Teacher' with his own ears! Oh, that adult also knows Phoebe. If you don't believe me, ask Polly and Owen, they were also there at the time."

"Gick is too low-key, he has such a powerful master and we don't even know! If it were me, with such a powerful teacher and uncle, I would definitely let the whole world know, oh, if I could become Gick's junior brother..."

"Hahaha... dream on, those two adults won't accept you. Also, don't bother Gick with his experiments, you know, his laboratory is very dangerous."

"..."

There were many people in this broken building, which seemed to be a rebel camp. There was also a mechanical armory hidden in the building.

There were a lot of steam engines and lathes for processing weapons and equipment here, and the air was filled with a strong smell of rust.

In the dilapidated building with air leaking from all sides, people were in groups of three or five, talking about the epic battle before, and Gick's shocking "special identity".

Those teenagers in Mafa Royal Mechanical Academy uniforms seemed to know Gick, and they were all chatting excitedly.

Although the aftermath of the previous battle had collapsed part of the building, everyone was still happily cleaning up the ruins on the machines.

Suren and Mirror walked over, and the others turned a blind eye to them.

It was too easy for them to not be discovered at their current level.

Suren sensed that Gick was in the basement. It was because he was worried that teleporting next to him would cause some unnecessary accidents.

Just like in the bunker before, how could he not see Gick's precise heart rate detonator?

The two walked down the stairs all the way, and after passing through the specially reinforced stairs, they arrived underground.

Before they saw anyone, they heard someone talking.

"Ah... Phoebe, please help me clean up, the teacher may come to me later."

"Yes. But speaking of which, it's really lucky this time to meet Mr. Suren, otherwise we might have died."

"Yes. I had to go and detonate that 'Dark Matter Bomb' myself, and I didn't expect there to be a space mage among the enemies. Fortunately, the teacher came..."

""

In the underground laboratory, Gick and Phoebe were cleaning up the messy laboratory, chatting and looking up, Suren and Mirror were already at the door.

A look of great joy instantly bloomed on Gick's face, and he shouted: "Teacher! Uncle!"
