Chapter 628 Dimensional Strike
Suren's professional materials integrated during his fifth-order advancement were the [Anywhere Door of the Void Walker] found in the cursed space of the Void Secret Realm.
This cursed object was very special, not only containing extremely high void power, but also having a source connection with that plane because its material source itself was a small part of the origin core of a certain endless void.
It's like the Mirror Organization's communicators, almost able to sense each other no matter where they are.
A divine術 [Void Banishment] was also solidified on this door, marking a directional alien plane coordinate 433.1224, 655.874.
Back then, in the Royal Alchemical Academy of the ancient civilization of Tar Kuru, a vice president named Herbert Silberbole accidentally mutated into a [Void Two-Way Insect Ultimate Aberration] while studying the Void Zerg. The mutated monster possessed terrifying dimensionality reduction capabilities. Grandpa Crow's two-dimensionalization ability was obtained by eating a piece of the insect queen's flesh.
At that time, the academy's dean couldn't kill it, so he banished the already mutated monster to this coordinate in the endless void.
After Suren came out of that cursed space, he read in detail all the information he had scavenged from that library, and understood almost everything about the characteristics of the Void Zerg.
He estimated that the two-way insect that the vice president had mutated into might have been a demigod, or even higher.
The Void Mother Insects have very tenacious vitality. As long as they are given enough nutrition, they can give birth to countless Zerg. Even without enough food sources, they can enter a dormant period like blood clans, thereby gaining hundreds of thousands of years of lifespan.
The old dean banished the monster to that spatial coordinate not to let it reproduce infinitely. There was nothing at that coordinate. If the monster was still alive, it would be dormant with high probability, and its rank would be at most a lower god!
And this monster was also something Suren had been thinking about.
Now, perhaps other places in the Alchemy Plane can't withstand the existence of a lower god, but the plane channel entrance in the Celestial God Plane is definitely enough.
Moreover, the mother insect's brain is one of the most suitable materials for refining [Blasphemer] equipment in Sir Isaac's notes.
If he had the opportunity to obtain it, Suren also planned to use this kind of insect mother's brain to refine the alchemy equipment he needed for the eighth rank, completing the last link in his puppet army.
…
"The tricky thing is that dimensionality reduction ability, which makes it almost impossible to kill with ordinary methods..."
Suren expressed his thoughts.
Grandpa Crow now possesses the ability of two-dimensionalization. Not to mention its innate talent for immortality, just this dimensionality reduction ability makes it impossible to kill even if it faces means that are several ranks higher than it.
Then, a Void Two-Way Insect that is at least a demigod level, means below the god rank will definitely not be able to solve it.
But the god rank is a watershed, perhaps a true god rank expert can eliminate it.
"The Toxter Void Royal Alchemical Academy couldn't kill this insect mother back then. If it descends, those guys in the Celestial God Plane probably won't be able to deal with it either. At that time, our Alchemy Plane will have to face this risk. But the good news is that the Void Mother Insect's main body is not too strong in combat. The other places in the plane also can't withstand the god rank, so it shouldn't be able to leave the spatial channel too far. In case of an accident, I still have a certain certainty of banishing it back to the void. Of course, there are certain risks in this process..."
Suren analyzed the pros and cons.
Mr. Mirror listened attentively while nodding.
This was indeed a big problem.
The Void Zerg are like a "plague" to any race. They can devour and reproduce infinitely. Once they invade the Alchemy Plane, the entire plane may be devoured by them into a void ruin.
If it were normal times, Mr. Mirror would never consider such a dangerous plan.
But currently, the Alchemy Plane is also facing another existential crisis. The invasion of the Celestial God Plane is worse and more urgent than the Void Zerg.
It seems that the problem cannot be solved at present, and it is also a destruction-level disaster.
At this time, Suren continued to analyze: "There are ten layers of magic tower clusters at the plane channel, which is enough to resist the power of the god rank. It may not be possible to do anything about that insect mother. Moreover, those gods in the Celestial God Plane will definitely not watch the foundation they have painstakingly built be destroyed. Even if they can't beat it at that time, divine means will inevitably descend. My deduced conclusion is that the insect mother will most likely be solved, and the magic camp at the plane channel will also suffer heavy losses. This will give us a long period of respite..."
Speaking of this, he paused and added: "At worst, for a severely injured mutated insect mother, we will have a greater possibility of banishing it again.
The stronger the people in the Celestial God Plane, the greater the damage to the insect mother.
Even if they can't kill it, both sides will inevitably suffer.
No matter how you look at it, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
"..."
Mr. Mirror fell into deep thought upon hearing this.
Having been together for so long, she knew very well that Suren had always been extremely cautious in his actions.
"..."
The plans he made must have been carefully considered and would never have any mistakes.
Now, a demigod-level powerhouse has already descended from the Celestial God Plane, and the Alchemy Plane's preparations are obviously not enough. If they could delay for some time, that would naturally be the best.
Mr. Mirror was also an extremely decisive person. After thinking for a moment, her eyes narrowed, "Alright! Let's act according to this plan."
Suren nodded in agreement.
As they spoke, their figures had already disappeared from the spot.
…
Not long after, Suren and Mr. Mirror had already teleported to the Zambra Iron Falls Province, thousands of kilometers away.
Those people probably never imagined that they, who had just fought fiercely at the Manny Hill Mithril Mine, would appear here.
At the end of their vision, the blue pillar of light that looked like a tower to the sky became increasingly solid. Looking at it with Omniscient Eyes, this plane channel was much more stable than it was two years ago.
And below that plane channel, the magic towers were as dense as a forest, forming a magic city that could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people in comparison.
Countless magic airships floated in the sky, and the horns of attack were about to sound. If Octavia Felding had killed Suren and the other today, then the biggest obstacle that had forced them to huddle in the camp for two years would be gone.
Today was supposed to be the day for a large-scale attack.
But the battle report probably hadn't been sent back yet, and the magic legions were gearing up and preparing.
The camp was like an anthill, and the magicians were densely packed like ants. Suren's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at it, and he said lightly, "Senior, I'm going to start preparing."
Mr. Mirror nodded beside him, "Okay."
The two began to get busy.
The commotion caused by the release of divine术 would be very loud. With Suren's eighth-order strength, the preparation time would be very long.
Moreover, the Door of Banishment had to be placed in the camp in order to let both sides engage in battle.
But the enemy was not stupid either, and it was impossible for them to just watch him cast術 in the magic camp of the plane channel.
Suren even knew that there was a special magic restriction in the camp to identify beliefs, and non-believers had no chance to get close.
Once the restriction was touched, it would be discovered immediately.
Therefore, at this time, he had to rely on Mr. Mirror's help, as well as a new術式 that Suren had researched.
In a mountain col twenty kilometers away from the plane channel, Suren took out countless materials and began to set up a super-large alchemy array.
After all, it concerned the survival of the Alchemy Plane. He had deduced the feasibility of this plan countless times before, and he had also prepared all the necessary materials. First, he used super-sized flawless crystals to arrange the corners of the array, and then he used a cursed pigment mixed with dragon blood and mithril powder to draw a nine-pointed star array and a large number of spatial runes, and then he used void materials to arrange...
On the other side, Mr. Mirror meditated in a cross-legged position, seizing the time to recover the physical strength consumed in the previous battle.
The two worked busily in the mountain col for more than half an hour before Suren completed the alchemy array.
After carefully checking it several times and finding no flaws, he said, "Senior, it's ready."
Mr. Mirror, who had been waiting for a long time, opened her eyes from meditation upon hearing this. She looked at the array, pinched a wizard seal, and two mirror clones appeared beside her.
Suren said, "Then I'm going to start acting?"
Mr. Mirror: "Okay!"
Hearing this, Suren took a deep breath. At this time, he pinched a wizard seal, and with a flash of spatial fluctuation, a dozen or so magicians in robes suddenly appeared beside him.
Seeing this, a strange look appeared in Mr. Mirror's eyes, and she said, "Your 'Corpse Soul Reincarnation Secret Technique' is getting closer and closer to resurrection. If I didn't know in advance, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to distinguish it."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but praise, "What a remarkable術式 indeed."
Suren chuckled upon hearing this and said, "In order to hide it from those magicians as much as possible, I tried to make it as real as possible."
This was his plan.
Only magicians could enter the camp. Suren thought of using the living corpses created by the Corpse Soul Secret Technique to achieve the purpose of infiltration.
These few living corpses almost represented everything he currently understood about death. Even his senior apprentice sister couldn't easily see through them, let alone the enemy.
In terms of perception, these were just a few normal living people.
Whether it was soul, body, thought, or aura, they were almost identical to living people.
However, there were still some minor flaws in the current living corpses. For example, upon closer inspection, one would find a layer of grease-like corpse wax on their bodies.
Also, he had to be wary of any special perception methods or ability users among the enemy.
Therefore, he needed his senior apprentice sister's help.
Mr. Mirror didn't hesitate. She pinched a wizard seal, and a layer of mirror light wrapped around the few living corpses, already imbuing them with mirror camouflage.
Now, upon closer inspection, they were truly indistinguishable from living people.
Suren smiled with satisfaction as he watched, his eyes narrowing slightly, "There shouldn't be any problems now."
As he spoke, he solidified a wizard seal and issued an instruction through a mental tentacle.
Although the souls of these dozen or so living corpses were complete and possessed their own consciousness, Suren had also made some modifications in the depths of their souls during these days.
The living corpses possessed their own complete consciousness, but they would also execute Suren's instructions.
It was like in a dream, even if an unreasonable scene appeared, they would still not find it strange.
With this solidification of the術士印, more than a dozen magicians cast the Sky Soaring Art and floated towards the plane channel.
…
At the same time, in the magician camp of the plane channel, there was a busy and lively scene here.
Because of Suren and Mr. Mirror's interception over the past two years, these ten thousand man magic corps had been huddled near the channel, and millions of magicians had already accumulated in the camp.
The towering magic towers were as dense as buildings, and an invisible restriction defended this camp, which was an invisible barrier sufficient to block any attack.
Today, probably because they were preparing for a full-scale battle, the magicians had also mobilized, with ten-man teams, hundred-man teams, and thousand-man teams... everywhere was busy preparing for battle.
At this moment, no one noticed that a small team of a dozen people suddenly appeared at the entrance of the busy camp.
They were like a team returning from an external mission, nothing could be more normal.
These few magicians were familiar with everything in the camp. They successfully passed the detection of various hidden restrictions, passed the identity verification, and successfully entered the depths of the camp. The magicians coming and going didn't notice anything unusual.
At this moment, there was only one thought in the minds of this group of living corpse mages, which was to execute the order: find a hidden corner in the camp and set up a magic array.
Before long, more than a dozen people found an empty tent and went inside.
Seeing that there was no one there, they began to set up a magic array.
This was just an eight-pointed star array, not complicated.
Because this was not the divine術 [Void Banishment], but just a mirror projection array.
More than ten minutes later, the magic array was set up.
The seventh-order magician at the head injected magic power into his hand with a numb expression and activated the magic array.
…
On the other side, in the mountain col more than ten kilometers away, Suren was also doing the same action.
He rapidly changed the wizard seals in his hand, and the nine-pointed star array under his feet had already lit up.
A large number of energy crystals collapsed in the array, and the spatial fluctuations became more and more intense.
Suren chanted: "Following the law of equivalent exchange of all things, praising the glory of the original creator, witnessing the miracle of creation with alchemy..."
In the blink of an eye, an ancient stone gate slowly formed above the array. The moment the runes on the gate lit up, a mysterious aura from ancient times swept over. The energy gathered in the array was like a big hand, slowly pushing open the stone gate, gradually cracking a gap.
Looking intently, what was behind the door was a terrifying world like leading to an abyss. A void.
Sweat covered Suren's forehead. Even with the array, it was quite difficult for him to cast this divine術.
Fortunately, the Alchemy Heart provided a steady stream of dark spiritual power, and the stone gate finally opened completely.
Probably seeing the light in the endless darkness, the monster in the void was also instantly attracted. Looking at it again this time, one could already see in that stone gate a very abstract, hideous-looking mud monster drawn with two black lines rushing towards the stone gate.
At this moment, Suren's expression suddenly became stern, he pushed his hands forward and shouted softly: "Divine Art Void Banishment!"
Mr. Mirror on the side also didn't dare to be careless, and cooperated very tacitly, screaming: "Mirror Projection!"
Looking again, with the mirror light passing, the術士印 had already been copied to the other side. The two-way insect that was originally going to rush up the hillside had already been mirror-projected into that magic camp.
…
Suren skillfully concealed the massive energy fluctuations when casting divine術 with mirror projection.
In the camp more than ten kilometers away, the magic fluctuations in the tent were only a moment, and the alarm of the restriction was immediately triggered.
The leader of the patrol legion immediately discovered the problem and questioned: "What's going on? Why is someone casting a high-level spell in tent number 7764?"
In an instant, the patrol legions near that tent surrounded it.
Dozens of nearby magic towers also instantly condensed a strong magic power, ready to deal with any unexpected events.
The marching orders of the Celestial God Plane were already very mature, and there were special places for training magic. Whether it was fighting or camping, no one would ever release spells in the wrong place.
Such a large-scale camp must have a complete set of plans to deal with emergencies.
Obviously, they all realized that this magical fluctuation was very abnormal.
But even if they discovered it very promptly, it was too late!
Suren knew the magicians of the Celestial God Plane too well, and he knew everything in the camp like the back of his hand.
If it was someone else, no matter how clever the infiltration ability was, there would be no chance at all!
[Void Banishment] had already been condensed long ago. This was just a mirrored exit, and it was impossible to reverse it.
In an instant, the tent was filled with mirror light, and in that light, an ancient rune gate had already been opened wide.
At this moment, the ninth-order archmages guarding the camp first sensed the vast power of the void, which was a terrifying fluctuation that made people feel fearful just by looking at it.
"Not good!"
Everyone's expression changed at the same time.
No one had imagined what had happened, but they felt a strong sense of deadly crisis.
In an instant, the magic horn in the camp had already sounded.
Several ten thousand-man legions instantly condensed into a battle formation, and at the same time, an old magician wearing a plain white robe had already appeared on the spot.
The white-bearded old man frowned as he looked at the mirror light that appeared in the camp, and instantly understood what had happened: "Mirror projection? Is it that alchemical native..."
But this was the thorny part of mirror projection. By the time it was discovered, it was already impossible to stop, and it was impossible to stop the release of the術式!
The old man looked at the Void Gate with a gloomy gaze, and his face instantly became extremely solemn: "Demigod Void Zerg?"
Although he had never experienced it, where hadn't he heard of the evil reputation of the Void Zerg, which countless planes regarded as a plague.
At this time, that strange creature also crawled out of the stone gate.
…
On the other side, although Suren, who had released the divine術, was a little exhausted, he also took out a telescope with great interest and looked at the magic camp at the end of his vision.
Now that the術式 had been cast, the rest was up to fate.
He had read the Zerg notes before and knew the habits of the two-way insects like the back of his hand.
As expected, the worm didn't die.
The strong void fluctuations, although at the rule level, shouldn't have crossed the threshold of the god rank.
But it was also within Suren's expectations.
What's tricky about this two-way insect is not only its ability to reduce dimensionality, but that it can't be killed.
The Royal Alchemical Academy of Tar Kuru countless years ago also had a [Void Gate] and a dean who was at least a demigod void magician. If they couldn't kill the monster, they could still banish it. Suren didn't think that those guys in the Celestial God Plane could conjure up a void magician above the demigod level to banish this monster.
Next, it was time for the good show to begin.
In the telescope, Suren watched the stone gate appear, and that black line surged out.
Looking at the old man standing on the ten-story magic tower, he also recognized him and chuckled: "Oh, the 'Evil 法神' Constantine Reynolds, there's actually a demigod expert hidden in the camp?"
Mr. Mirror on the side also frowned slightly.
Two demigod powerhouses had already quietly descended from the Celestial God Plane. If they were to launch a full-scale attack, the consequences would inevitably be very bad.
Fortunately, there was still a Void Two-Way Insect.
This plan really relieved the great pressure on the Alchemy Plane.
It had to be said that those magicians reacted really quickly.
In the blink of an eye that the two were paying attention to, various magic towers in the distance had already lit up, and countless magics had already rushed towards the Void Gate.
[禁咒·Thunder Destruction], [Legion奥义·Light Dispelling], [Annihilation·貫殺魔光]...
The legion magic empowered by the magic tower was several times higher than usual, and the commotion was frighteningly large.
Even from so far away, Suren and the others felt the terrifying magical fluctuations. Judging from this posture, those magicians obviously wanted to destroy the stone gate along with the monster.
In an instant, dazzling seven-colored "fireworks" erupted in the camp.
However, the next scene that made those magicians' jaws drop appeared.
Just as this earth-shattering legion magic rushed towards the two-way insect, not only did it not kill it, but... it was silent!
It was like a lit firework suddenly misfired, and not even a bit of the expected explosion scene was seen.
Those legion magic that could easily kill a ninth-order archmage fell on that "line monster" and were instantly absorbed. It was like... drawing a few strokes of color on a drawing board. Other than adding a little color to it, there were no other conditions.
Moreover, in the blink of an eye, the colors disappeared, and the monster turned back into an abstract black and white sketch line form.
The magicians didn't know what the [Void Two-Way Insect Ultimate Aberration] was, let alone the dimensionality reduction ability of this worm.
Suren was used to it though.
Because a certain black crow possessed such an ability, he had long been accustomed to it.
But seeing this, he glanced at Grandpa Crow on his shoulder again and complained, "Grandpa Crow, look at other people's dimensionality reduction ability, and then look at you. I've given you so much good stuff for nothing..."
Hearing this, Grandpa Crow gave a very human-like roll of his bird eyes: It's a demigod, what rank is this grandpa?
Suren understood this grandpa's expression, and sighed slightly with a tone of expectation: "If one day Grandpa Crow, you can be this strong, how good would that be..."
If the black crow was so strong, it would really be able to walk sideways.
Hearing this, the venomous tongue bird rarely didn't complain, but the black eyeballs reflected the figure of the monster in the distance.
…
The Void Two-Way Insect was originally a mutated monster with an instinct to kill.
It had been banished for countless years and was holding back a grievance.
Now that it had just come out, it had been beaten up, so how could it have a good temper?
When the two-way insect's body completely walked out of the stone gate, it completely ignored various confinement spells and rushed towards the surrounding crowd and magic towers.
Its body, which was previously like a mud monster, instantly spread out like flowing liquid and turned into a thin layer like paper.
Spatial confinement, physical confinement, magical confinement... and other conventional restriction magics had no effect.
The only thing that slowed down its actions slightly was Time Delay.
But it was just slowing down.
Without a demigod-level time magician, no one could greatly restrict a demigod monster.
Wherever the two-way insect passed, it was a scene of despair. Whether it was a magic tower or a human being, they were immediately reduced to the two-dimensional world as if they were sucked into a black hole. It was originally a void monster, and although it couldn't teleport, it could hide its body in the void.
Those ten thousand-man legions were still staring at the worm's main body, but they didn't know that its body had quietly hidden in the void.
It was everywhere.
Suddenly, the ground solidified under the feet of several ten thousand-man legions who were casting magic around became like mud, and their entire feet sank into it.
"Be careful of your feet!" "Not good, run away!"
"It's too late, ah... Someone save me!"
In an instant, the camp was filled with wails.
The dimensionality reduction ability was so outrageous. It was fine if it wasn't touched. If it was touched, it would spread rapidly throughout the body like a virus, completely reducing the target in a very short time.
The strongest output state of the ten thousand-man legions was standing output. They had to gather into a specific formation to release some legion magic.
This was a live target for the two-way insect.
Several ten thousand-man legions were swallowed before they even had time to react.
That kind of legion magic shield had no effect at all in the face of the dimensionality reduction ability.
Not only humans, but those magic towers were also like sinking into a swamp and were instantly devoured, becoming part of the lines on the monster's body.
If you looked closely, you would find that the lines were much richer in color.
Others didn't know what was going on, but Suren knew very well.
This was the unique way the Void Two-Way Insect fed.
It could devour everything rich in energy and replenish itself.
After devouring a few ten thousand-man groups, its actions were obviously more agile than before.
Suren had seen this worm in the cursed space of the void channel a few years ago, but at that time it was simulated by the cursed space, and its rank was very low.
Now watching this demigod-level two-way insect killing everything in sight, he also sighed in his heart: "This worm's ability is really unsolvable, no wonder it can only be banished..."
In his Omniscient Eyes, he saw a trace of the law of silk.
The use of this two-way insect in spatial rules had already far exceeded the scope that humans could understand.
…
The two-way insect's dimensionality reduction ability was almost unsolvable.
But it actually had a short board, which was that its speed was not too fast.
If the perception was sufficient and agile enough, seventh and eighth-order magic also had a chance to avoid it.
But unfortunately, this was a magic camp.
Not to mention that the magicians were packed in the city with a very high density, their legion warfare did not allow them to escape randomly.
Moreover, people could escape, but this was a magic camp!
Although plane invasion was the best way to plunder wealth, fighting a war cost money.
There were countless magic towers here, various strategic materials, medicines, magic cores, energy crystals... etc. stored for the future full-scale invasion war, the value was immeasurable.
These things contained powerful energy, which for the two-way insect was the most ideal food.
If they really escaped, could they just watch the camp that they had spent several years and countless resources building be devoured by the two-way insect?
From the beginning, Suren had anticipated this situation.
Those guys in the Celestial God Plane would definitely not give up the camp, so they would inevitably fight to the death!
There were still two demigods in the Celestial God Plane, and there was also the ability for gods to descend... there might not be a way.
But this battle, no matter what the outcome, was destined to be a lose-lose situation.
The camp of the Celestial God Plane would inevitably suffer heavy losses.
This was also what Suren and Mr. Mirror wanted to see.
The two were paying attention to the battle in the distance, and their brows finally relaxed a little. They watched intently, their eyes reflecting the fierce battle scene in the camp.
