Wizard: I Can Refine Everything

Chapter 123: Chapter 23 War (5)

Mother Worm God, the progenitor of the Black Crystal Worm Clan, the World Master of the Insect Nest World, the guardian of the Insect Nest World. This Level 4 creature, bearing multiple titles, finally revealed itself after nearly four million of its kind had perished.

Surrounded by a radiant aura, a gigantic black crystal insect, tens of meters in length and seemingly forged from gold, gradually advanced towards the Floating City.

Bathed in its light, all the bodies of the Black Crystal Worm Clan felt warm and their wounds began to heal rapidly.

“Ulysses, how strong is this insect?” Richard communicated with Ulysses via psychic waves.

“Nothing unexpected, just an ordinary World Master,” Ulysses replied. “The only praiseworthy thing about this insect is its use of the Power of Faith.

The radiance on its body is the initial purification of the Power of Faith. Although it can’t compare with the Power of Faith of the Gods Civilization, for a being that is the World Master of a Miniature World and a native, it’s already incredibly intelligent.”

...

“Power of Faith? Is this the application of the Power of Faith?” Richard, observing the changes in the swarm, exclaimed in surprise.

Such extensive life healing, this spell would probably be difficult to achieve even for a Great Wizard of the Undead School.

“Don’t be fooled,” Ulysses said disdainfully. “The healing effect is a rule effect of this insect. I guess its rules are related to flesh, reproduction, and life.

However, the reason it can apply the rules so extensively is due to the help of the Power of Faith.”

After speaking, a hint of reminiscence flashed in Ulysses’s eyes.

There was a time when he too was formidable, but now he could only use the body of a Level 1 creature to work for another Level 1 creature.

It was frustrating to think about.

But after his frustration, Ulysses chose to accept reality, and he continued speaking to Richard:

“When this insect and your Great Wizards are mixed in battle later, be smart. If you can collect any fragments of this insect’s body, it will be of great help to both of us. Now I need to hide, otherwise they might detect me when they go all out later.”

With that, Ulysses flew to Richard’s waist, opened a Magic Pocket, and crawled inside, leaving Richard alone to continue watching the battle.

…

The Plane War is a battle of king against king, general against general. Since the Mother Worm God had appeared, the Black Tower Great Wizard naturally had to appear as well.

A black shadow flew out of the Floating City, and in the blink of an eye, the shadow transformed into a hundred-meter-tall black-robed wizard.

The two formidable creatures confronted each other in the sky, a mountainous pressure descending upon the battlefield. Under this pressure, the entire battlefield fell eerily silent, all creatures watching the two terrifying beings in the sky.

Suddenly, the Mother Worm God seemed to sense something, its golden wings unfolded, and its figure instantly disappeared.

At the same time, all the creatures on the battlefield felt a terrifying sensation.

It was as if a volcano was about to erupt.

“Hehehe, it’s too late to hide now!”

The Black Tower Great Wizard’s sinister laugh thundered like a storm, an evil, frenzied aura emanating from within him, plunging any creature that felt it into terrifying illusions.

He slashed open space, pulling out a Rune Wand from the void. Majestic Magic Power gathered toward the wand, and in an instant, countless black Rune Chains shot from the Black Tower Great Wizard’s body into the void, forcibly dragging the vanished Mother Worm God out from it.

Boom—

Suddenly, a hatch on the bottom of the Floating City opened, unleashing a torrent of energy, over ten meters thick, rushing through the heavenly vault and piercing through the body of the Mother Worm God.

In an instant, golden insect blood splattered across the sky.

“That is… the Floating City main cannon!”

Richard, stunned by the flow of energy, realized that the contained energy exceeded his understanding, its power reaching at least a hundred thousand Energy Level.

Only a super-sized war fortress like the Floating City could operate such a high-level Alchemy Weapon.

“Gulp.”

Richard swallowed hard, looking at the wounded Mother Worm God.

Even after being hit by such a terrifying attack, the Mother Worm God had not died.

Are all these World Masters monsters?

…

“Mother Worm God… wounded?”

The thought flashed through the minds of the Black Crystal Worm Clan on the ground.

The being they revered, honored, the supreme Mother Worm God, was injured!

“Zzz!”

The Mother Worm God let out a roar, its sonorous waves instantly killing thousands from the Slave Army and several unfortunate Black Wizards.

In the presence of a World Master, disorganized lower-level creatures were merely food and cannon fodder.

The Black Tower Great Wizard, seeing that the Mother Worm God still possessed such vitality, swung his wand, sending a purple lightning bolt thousands of meters long across the sky, heading straight for the Mother Worm God.

Its power was at least fifty thousand Energy Level.

Seeing this, the Mother Worm God spread its golden wings behind, vanishing once again.

The next moment, a golden light cleaved through space, the Mother Worm God’s front limbs transforming into Blade Arms, wrapped in a rich golden light nearly flowing, charging towards the Black Tower Great Wizard.

“Foolish insect.”

The Black Tower Great Wizard scoffed, his body suddenly dispersing, transforming into black chains that wrapped around the Mother Worm God, while his figure appeared thousands of meters away.

Against a World Master with evolved Physique, the Black Tower Great Wizard had ample battle experience.

Boom!

A thousand-meter-long purple thunderbolt struck the Mother Worm God in an instant, leaving a charred wound.

“Zzz!”

The Mother Worm God roared again, the Black Crystal on its forehead emitting golden light, attracting the starlight of the sky, forming a bright light ball as clear as the moon.

The next moment, the light ball dispersed, and a web-like network of starlight unfolded in the air, completely restraining the entire space.

“Restraining space, interesting,” said the Black Tower Great Wizard, revealing a sinister smile. The black robe on his body instantly dispersed into a pitch-black canopy, encircling the Mother Worm God. Numberless black, twisting tentacles emerged from beneath his robe, the mad and terrifying aura causing the Mother Worm God to shudder.

“Hisss!”

The Mother Worm God let out a wary hiss, her body’s golden glow began to condense, ultimately concentrating into the black crystal at her brow.

She spread her wings, attempting to escape the scope of the black curtain, but because of the restricted space, she couldn’t use her spatial abilities and could only watch as the black curtain drew closer.

Unless she left this battlefield.

But as the Mother Worm God, how could she flee so easily?

As the tentacles of the Black Tower Great Wizard neared, the Mother Worm God swung her blade arms incessantly, instantly shredding the encroaching tentacles with a curtain of golden blades.

Yet, strangely, no matter how many she cut, there were always more tentacles relentlessly attacking her.

From the outside, although the body of the Black Tower Great Wizard continued to expand, not a single tentacle approached the Mother Worm God.

Those tentacles reached into the void, continuously eroding the space around the Mother Worm God.

Unbeknownst to her, the rules of the Black Tower Great Wizard had already begun to affect her mind, and she had not yet realized she was trapped in an illusion.

The Mother Worm God’s arms swung faster and faster, her sharp blade arms nearly slicing through space; still, in her perception, endlessly approaching were evil-filled tentacles.

“Szzz!”

The Mother Worm God roared angrily, her pair of blade arms swinging fiercely, instantly tearing open space.

But it was still in vain.

Illusions don’t change because of reality.

“Heh heh heh, such stupidity from a World Master.”

The Black Tower Great Wizard leisurely controlled his domain, slowly draining the Mother Worm God’s power, aiming to gradually drag her to death in this dark realm.

Had he managed to eliminate the Mother Worm God at the start, this plane war would have ended.

Only a World Master can oppose a Great Wizard. Without a World Master, all the insects of the entire world combined were mere ants before the Black Tower Great Wizard.

But soon, he noticed something amiss.

The power of the Mother Worm God was depleting rather too quickly, almost as if something were extracting her power.

“Not good!”

The Black Tower Great Wizard’s figure shuddered, realizing the Mother Worm God’s intention.

But by then, it was somewhat too late.

In the dark realm, along with the explosion of dazzling golden light from the Mother Worm God’s brow and her body, the concentrated Power of Faith combined with her own power immediately tore a huge hole in the Black Tower Great Wizard’s domain.

The Black Tower Great Wizard grunted, his figure trembling slightly.

This dark domain was akin to his body; having it forcibly ripped open was as painful as one could imagine.

But the price paid by the Mother Worm God was also not small.

In the ground below, among the Black Crystal Worm Clan, suddenly hundreds of thousands of insects felt a tightening in their hearts, a strong sadness flooding their minds.

It felt as though their mother had died.

The High Priest of the Insect Country, understanding the truth the moment the sadness burst forth.

It wasn’t the Mother Worm God herself that had appeared, but merely a Mother Worm carrying the Mother Worm God’s power.

Now, their mother was dead.

“My friends, the Mother Worm of our Insect Country has returned to the embrace of the Mother Worm God,” the High Priest of the now motherless Insect Country said to the other priests, bowing slightly, his voice unnaturally calm.

“May you all expel these extraterrestrial invaders, may you all win glory for the Mother Worm God, may our Black Crystal Worm Clan prosper and flourish.”

Having said that, the High Priest issued a command that only the insects of his Insect Country could receive.

“All troops, attack, avenge the Mother Worm.”

Meanwhile, he himself forcibly pulled out the black crystal from his brow, held it in his palms and kneeled towards the direction of the Insect Nest.

Every High Priest of an Insect Country would perform a sacrifice before dying.

And the sacrifice for this ritual was themselves. @@novelbin@@

The celestial power they had accumulated for years, the Power of Faith they had collected, and even their souls were offered as sacrifices to the Mother Worm God.

Ordinary Black Crystal Insects didn’t have the ability to breed; all Insect Countries depended on the Mother Worm to bear offspring.

With the death of the Mother Worm, the Insect Country would perish.

A perished Insect Country didn’t need a High Priest.

“Praise the Mother Worm God.”

…

“All Wizards, attention, all Wizards, attention, the enemy World Master has disappeared, the enemy World Master has disappeared.

All troops, attack, all troops, attack!

The Black Tower Great Wizard will fight alongside you!”

The cold command from the Communication Crystal Ball, watching the fearless swarm of insects before him, Richard took a deep breath.

“Prepare for battle!”
