Plan

The opening of the fourth reincarnation was nothing short of perfect.

With the near-prophetic precision of the intelligence Benjamin provided, the first engagement came to an end within an hour.

At negligible cost, the Wizard Legion wiped out the Sickle-Skull Race's carefully deployed interception force and, in the same stroke, destroyed three of their critical leyline teleportation nodes.

Benjamin remained in the safe zone designated by Commander Frost throughout.

He did not participate in the fighting directly. Instead, racing against time, he sank his mental power into his Internal Grotto-Heaven and rapidly reviewed the vast, disorderly records left behind by "himself" in the previous cycle.

The timeline of the war's advance, the movement patterns of the Sickle-Skull Race's main forces, methods for countering their new tactics, the traits and weaknesses of every variant—

And, more importantly, summaries of preliminary research reports on "time ripples" and the synchronicity of aberrant development.

A flood of information surged into his consciousness, then was methodically sorted and absorbed by Benjamin's powerful mental strength.

By the time the order announcing the battle's end spread through the army, Benjamin already had a clear grasp of the previous cycle's two months of war.

He went straight to Frost and, without hesitation, handed over every Recording Crystal in his Internal Grotto-Heaven containing the previous cycle's vital intelligence and research results.

The vast number of Recording Crystals formed a small mountain inside the command center.

A Level 7 Wizard's information-processing speed was astounding.

Frost did not read through them one by one. Instead, he used mental power to scan them at high speed and extract key information.

As runes flickered, the contents of tens of thousands of crystals streaked through his consciousness like flowing light.

In just fifteen minutes, he had swiftly "reviewed" the entire mountain of crystals.
