Chapter 624 - 530: The Ultimate Destructive Power
Chapter 624: Chapter 530: The Ultimate Destructive Power
Dionysius Spencer stood on the observation deck of the command room, gazing at the distant horizon where the faint lights of the enemy camp flickered, and he calmly spoke:
"Begin."
The voice was not loud, yet through the array spread throughout the entire camp, it reached every Wizard’s ear clearly.
There was no impassioned pre-battle mobilization, no rousing slogans.
Just one word.
But everyone understood the weight of this word.
The defense line composed of Elemental Creatures, Mechanical Bodies, and summoned cannon fodder units surged out from the camp like a tide, spreading layer by layer at the outermost defensive circle.
Under the command of the Wizards, they silently formed into arrays, prepared for the inevitable onslaught.
Meanwhile, within the camp, in every fortress, each Wizard was in position.
From Third Level Wizards to Sixth Level elites, from the Logistics Element to the Combat Element, regardless of their usual field of expertise, at this moment, in front of them lay a palm-sized, intricately engraved miniature transmission array.
This was the "Spiritual Power Energizing Node" of the Super-wide Area Refining Array.
"Commence transmission."
With the second command from the command room, the entire camp lit up.
It was a faint blue halo, visibly triggered by the aggregation of excessive Energy as countless streams of Spiritual Power poured into the array simultaneously.
A Fifth Level Wizard, eyes closed, pressed both hands on the transmission array, letting his Spiritual Power gush out like a floodgate being opened.
Even those Wizards who hadn’t fully recovered bit their lips within the nutrient cabins, channeling all their remaining power into the array.
At the same moment, the entire plane moved.
From a high vantage point, one could see this desolate, abandoned plane, its surface shifting from gray-white plains to jagged mountains, from dried-up riverbeds to lifeless basins... At countless locations, faint glimmers appeared simultaneously.
These lights were initially scattered, isolated, like sparse fireflies in the dark.
But quickly, they began to spread, connect, and intertwine.
One beam of light connected to another beam of light.
The halo of one area merged with the halo of another area.
In just a few breaths, the entire continent, from south to north, east to west, was covered by a faint golden glow.
It was the glow of the Refining Array.
Super-wide Area Refining Array—activate.
"Alchemist Array, assume control." Dionysius’s voice rang out once more.
In a vast, specially allocated space deep within the camp, over twenty thousand Wizards specialized in Alchemy sat cross-legged.
In front of them were more intricate and expansive control arrays, and above them, real-time information on the distribution of the plane’s substance converged through numerous nodes.
Leading them were dozens of Seventh Level Wizards proficient in Alchemy.
Their eyes had completely transformed into the unique golden hue of the Refining Array, with the material structure map of the entire plane swiftly flowing, analyzing, and marking in the depths of their pupils.
"Target: Alliance Camp." The leading Seventh Level Alchemist spoke, voice calm, "Refining Array... deploy."
The faint golden light surged towards the direction of the Alliance Camp.
And then, the earth came alive.
At the perimeter of the Alliance Camp, the solid rock barriers suddenly began to twist.
The hard stone compressed and contracted inward like kneaded clay.
Within the camp, the ground abruptly collapsed, revealing bottomless pits.
Screaming cannon fodder units fell, swallowed whole by the suddenly closing rock layers at the pit’s bottom.
Even in the sky, countless giant spikes formed of dust and stones gathered, pointing densely at the Alliance Camp, poised to rain down the next moment!
Furthermore, around the Alliance, five massive stone pillars gradually emerged from the ground.
As the pillars rose, the Wizards inside the Alliance Camp were horrified to realize they were not pillars but giant hands made of stone!
These real giant hands clenched fiercely, attempting to crush the protective barrier of the Alliance Camp!
The entire land stood against the Alliance.
The first to react on the Alliance’s side was the Tower of Annihilation.
Confronted with this sudden offensive, the high level of the Tower of Annihilation remained unflustered.
Their response was decidedly straightforward and forceful.
The field restraint layer perpetually hovering behind the Tower of Annihilation camp, reinforced day and night by countless High Tier Wizards, abruptly vanished.
The Seventh Level Wizards, originally maintaining the magnetic field, stood up in unison, withdrawing their Energy supply to the restraint layer.
Simultaneously, they formed seals with their hands and pushed towards the kilometer-wide white globe.
"Go."
The massive white globe, like a prisoner released, began to float upwards from its fixed position.
Then, it accelerated.
It streaked across the sky, trailing a blinding white tail like a second sun, crashing straight towards the Nolun Workshop camp!
Carrying within it twenty trillion tons of antimatter.
Dionysius stood at the highest point in the command room, watching the rapidly approaching white globe, his expression unchanged.
"Execute contingency plan." His voice remained calm, "Phase one."
Within the Alchemist Legion, several thousand Sixth Level Wizards, already on standby, exerted themselves simultaneously.
Under the manipulation of alchemical power, invisible forces spread out, sweeping across the entire battlefield.
Thus, the air was evacuated.
From the Nolun Workshop camp to the area between the white light sphere, all gas molecules, all floating dust, all minuscule substances invisible to the naked eye, were instantly pushed to the sides by an extremely overwhelming force.
Forming a channel over ten kilometers wide in absolute vacuum.
No air, no contact.
No contact, no annihilation.
At the same time, other Alchemists, under the leadership of the Seventh Level Wizard, temporarily halted the attack on the enemy camp.
Instead, they gathered the power of the super-wide area refining array, like invisible tentacles, fiercely piercing into the magnetic field binding layer inside the white light sphere!
The core ability of Alchemy—matter reconstruction.
As long as they can convert all anti-matter into ordinary matter before it touches any positive matter, this crisis can be dissipated into invisibility.
"Decoding anti-matter structure..."
"Refining array penetration in progress..."
"Severe interference with the target magnetic field binding layer, penetration progress... three percent, seven percent, twelve percent..."
However, just as the power of the refining array was about to touch the anti-matter body...
Deep within the Tower of Annihilation camp, the Seventh Level Wizards responsible for operation simultaneously curved their lips into a sneer.
"Did they think we wouldn’t guard against this?"
The measures left inside the magnetic field binding layer were activated.
In the last instant of the binding layer’s dissolution, a rock over a hundred meters in diameter was directly teleported into the center of the anti-matter light sphere by a hidden teleportation technique within the field!
Inside the light sphere, the balance originally isolated by the magnetic field between anti-matter and positive matter was completely disrupted by the sudden intrusion of the rock.
Contact.
Then...
Annihilation.
Boom!!!!
In that instant, the world lost its voice.
The sound was so immense, so shocking, it surpassed the limits of human hearing, transforming into shockwaves capable of directly quaking the land.
A pillar of pure white light, over a hundred kilometers in diameter, shot skyward from the location of the anti-matter light sphere, piercing the atmosphere, directly stabbing into the emptiness beyond the plane!
The shockwave carried by the light pillar even blew away the gray clouds hovering persistently over the entire sky.
From the Nolun Workshop to the Alliance Camp, from one end of the horizon to the other, all transformed into blinding white in an instant!
Then came the real crisis.
The intrusion of the rock did not cause the complete annihilation of all the anti-matter at once. It only exploded the small part that contacted it.
And the terrifying energy released by that small part’s annihilation instantly tore apart the now destabilized binding magnetic field layer, blasting more anti-matter fragments outward, like the blooming of a deadly flower.
Those fragments, each varied in size, were all anti-matter.
They were flung outward and then...
Came into contact with air.
Came into contact with dust.
Came into contact with light.
Came into contact with everything.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!!!
A dense number of uncountable explosions frantically blossomed above the entire battlefield!
Each annihilation of an anti-matter fragment was a miniature solar flare.
And in the instant of explosion, those clusters of anti-matter would be flung outward again, further enlarging the range of impact!
Their brightness, their temperature, their released destructive energy, interweave and layer upon each other, then resonate.
Ultimately converging into an apocalyptic frenzy that covers the sky of a small portion of the plane as if to burn everything to ash!
Mushroom clouds of enormous size repeatedly rise in the void, swiftly shredded by the shockwave of the next round of explosion.
Fire and light became "omnipresent."
The sky burns, the earth melts, even space itself begins to show web-like intricate cracks under the constant high-intensity energy impacts!
"Defense!"
Inside the Nolun Workshop camp, Dionysius’s voice for the first time carried some urgency.
The super-wide area refining array operated at full force!
The infinite stones and soil on the ground were seized and condensed by invisible power.
Constructing layers upon layers of incredibly thick physical shields above, around, and even underground the camp!
Each layer of rocky shell was evaporated by the annihilation shockwave, and the next layer rapidly generated under the array’s effect!
A rupture in one direction’s defense was blasted open, immediately more material surged from the ground, securely sealing the breach!
Meanwhile, another part of the refining array’s power began crazily "transferring" the explosions.
The destructive energy about to impact the camp’s core area was forcibly "guided" to the other end of the plane—those abandoned areas with no watchers.
Thus, the distant earth collapsed, the distant mountains melted, everything in the distance got recklessly ravaged by the continuously coming explosive energy.
