A Demonic Free-for-All
The National Guardian Mage intervened in time, capturing and protecting his soul, but his body was already gone—the Forbidden Spell, capable of destroying a city, had wiped out all the weaklings within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.
"This is inexplicable... Perhaps the Ming Dynasty Civilization and the Abyssal Depth Civilization truly harbor some grudge. Sending tens of thousands of powerful individuals to Self-Destruct is too extreme."
The National Guardian Mage narrowed his eyes, as if he had discovered something.
Those tens of thousands of elves had all perished. Their bodies turned into specks of light and vanished, leaving only the aftershocks of that Forbidden Spell lingering in the air.
Shortly after the destruction of the Abyssal Depth Civilization and the deaths of all its garrison personnel—
A terrifying aura emerged from the Spatial Rift.
That was a figure that was hundreds of meters tall.
An exoskeleton covered in scarlet and dark black patterns, a menacing horned crown, and eyes Burn with flames. Twelve wings encircle its body, each hundreds of meters long, with edges shimmering with a metallic sheen.
The Demon Prince.
Rulers of Abyssal Depth Civilization.
His scarlet eyes swept across the area and Lock-On onto his target.
The next moment, its wings fluttered slightly, and its body vanished from the spot, reappearing several kilometers away in the next instant. The rocks and soil along its path were melted into magma by the high temperature, leaving behind a scorched passage.
At the end of the passage, there was a beautiful elf.
She held a strange wooden staff in her hand, and half of her body had already entered the Spatial Rift. If she had just half a second more, she could escape back.
The Demon Prince reached out and grabbed.
The speed of that claw strike was so fast that most people present couldn't even catch it; in a fraction of a second, its claws would tear the elf to shreds.
An ordinary, white-glowing branch stretched out.
It was applied gently to His arm guard.
Everything felt light and airy.
But at the moment of their collision—
A terrifying shockwave, carrying destructive power, Diffusion outwards.
Everything around was wailing in despair, melting in the high temperature and being destroyed by the high energy. The surroundings instantly turned into Vacuum, and even light was distorted into bizarre shapes.
Then came wave after wave of battles of Spell and power, with the two non-human beings intersecting and colliding in that Vacuum area.
"So strong?" Lin Yuan's soul drifted nearby, unable to see anything clearly, only feeling the terrifying pressure. "How many hits could you withstand?"
The National Guardian Mage, continued to speak slowly and deliberately.
"Me? I can just watch from the sidelines; I don't have to worry about being killed by the aftershocks."
"However, these two are ridiculously powerful. The Demon Prince's Constitution Attribute is at least 27, according to the Attribute conversion mentioned by [Scholar]. That branch opposite... should be the Elf Race Life Tree. I didn't expect it to be alive."
"It's truly a chaotic mess. If His Mu Ri hadn't seized Authority, we probably wouldn't be able to enjoy this leisurely life," Lin Yuan sighed.
These guys with superhuman combat power have appeared out of nowhere; each one is ridiculously strong.
"I've made up my mind. I'll go to the Elf Race when the time comes."
"Oh? Didn't you want to study math? Why did you go to the Elf Race?"
"Elf Race aren't bad at math either, they just don't like technology... I'm planning to minor in Mana."
As the two were talking, the exchange team behind them had already dealt with the aftermath of the Self-Destruct, the wounded were treated, the Abjuration barrier was re-erected, and various detection devices were aimed at the distant battlefield.
The battle over there is over.
The Demon Prince broke free, his ferocious claws clutching half a severed body.
He killed the elf in front of the Life Tree.
The branches of the Life Tree have fallen.
The Demon Prince casually tossed aside the mangled remains, flapped his wings, hovered high in the sky, and looked down at the delegation of civilized individuals present.
His gaze swept over the figures—survivors of the Elf Race, representatives of the Mechanical Civilization, cultivators of the Immortal Cultivation Civilization, diplomats of the technological civilization, and archmages of the Mana Side...
"About ninety," He spoke, his voice low and terrifying, as if coming from the depths of Abyss. "Most of them have come. The rest of the civilizations will not come."
"In that case, let's begin."
He raised his hand and pointed to the symbols that represented different civilizations.
"We need to discuss which civilizations deserve to survive, and which civilizations are only fit to serve as resources for other civilizations."
He laughed, a terrifying and arrogant laugh that echoed through the Void.
"Hahaha..."
The expression on the National Guardian Mage's face gradually turned serious.
They've come with ill intentions.
"In the first round, we had a full one hundred and twelve civilizations left," the Demon Prince continued, his voice laced with cruel pleasure. "Now for the second round. We plan to leave only thirty civilizations..."
[Special events have been updated]
[Current Special Event: Spatial Rift, War Delight]
A new war branch has been unlocked in the achievement tree. Go check it out!
Su Luo shifted her gaze from the book in her hands to the temporary control panel.
The Spatial Rift has existed for so long, and the system's sudden addition of a "War Delight" event clearly indicates that it thinks the fighting isn't exciting enough.
He opened the achievement tree.
The giant tree he had seen many times before now had a sudden branch Spread from the top of its trunk, with several shimmering fruits hanging on it, each representing a new achievement.

"Destroying civilizations earns Civilization Points?" Su Luo raised an eyebrow. "The more civilizations you destroy, the more rewards you get?"
He watched the entire series and felt that this achievement series was... just so-so.
The current method for earning Civilization Points in the Suguang Civilization is already quite mature.
Develop technology and achieve results; achieving results earns points, as does handling special events. With points, you can buy "intervention" from Su Luo —that is, various technologies that are ahead of their time.
This is a virtuous Cycle of explosive growth.
