"It's time to leave," Ian said to Chloe.
"So fast?"
"Yes."
"Can I watch?"
"You want to see how I conquer the Earth?"
"Yes. I want to see how strong you are."
"It's okay if you want to see it, but if that's your main purpose, you might be disappointed."
Subsequently, Chloe contacted her brother. As for her parents, because they were practitioners of Dark Magic, she did not have a good relationship with them. Both of them died in a conflict with another black witch.
Ian asked her if she missed Resurrection's parents, but she refused. She had long accepted their death and started a new life. After everything was taken care of, Ian placed her brother in the cryo-sleep cabin in the spacecraft.
For him, as long as he has materials, building a spaceship is easy. Even if there are no ready-made materials, he can use material transformation and Matter Manipulation to create it out of thin air.
Of course, to build a spacecraft large enough to accommodate billions of people, the materials needed are the numbers Astronomy.
Therefore, Ian came to a deserted desert. He clasped his hands on the ground, and Alchemy's light burst out instantly, covering hundreds of kilometers in radius.
The earth trembled, and countless ores and metals were extracted and then automatically assembled in the air.
At the same time, thousands of Engineering Golem were released to assist with construction efforts.
Just a few hours later, a spaceship as huge as a continental plate floated above the earth. It blocked the sky and the sun, casting a huge shadow on the world below.
People all over the world looked at this huge thing in the sky in horror.
Immediately afterwards, Ian's voice spread through magic to every corner of the world, ringing directly in everyone's mind:
"Dwellers of Earth, I am the Archon of the Arcane Empire, Ian."
"I am here to bring the resources and population wasted by you into the territory of the Empire."
"Give up useless resistance. All attempts to resist are in vain. Get ready to welcome your new life."
No threats, no Wrath, just plain and unquestionable statements.
However, as Ian expected, the governments on the planet did not surrender.
Faced with this alien invasion-level threat, mankind has shown unprecedented unity. All nuclear weapons silos have been opened.
Thousands of nuclear bombs, trailing long tail flames, lifted off from all over the world, aiming directly at the huge spaceship.
Chloe, who was standing in the control room of the spacecraft, couldn't help but hold her breath as she watched the dense missiles coming. Although she knew that Ian was very strong, it was enough to destroy the world several times.
Ian just glanced at the screen and typed the Snap.
The next moment, all the flying nuclear bombs suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
There was no explosion, no fire, not even a sound. It was as if they had never existed, and were instantly transferred to the distant depths of the universe or another dimension.
"Originally, I could use magic to teleport everyone up directly, but I'm too lazy to spend that effort and magic power, so I'll leave it to the robot - although it's a bit time-consuming," Ian said.
He took a sip of the drink he had just made for himself, looked at Chloe beside him and asked, "How do you feel?"
"Nuclear weapons - humanity's most powerful weapon - are being disposed of like child's play," she muttered, still in shock.
"This is not surprising. Nuclear weapons in the Empire can only be counted as weapons of Fifth Tier or Sixth Tier. And they are only effective if they are huge in number and can hit. Otherwise, even Third Tier and below Arcanist can teleport away from the explosion range."
Chloe sighed and stopped talking.
A few hours later, the Golem army took everyone to the cryo-sleep cabin in the spacecraft, and even Chloe was sent in. Ian planned to modify their memories together after returning to Floating City.
When all the dust settled, the entire earth became empty, leaving only those animals and plants that had not been taken away.
Ian waved his hand, and the huge spaceship disappeared instantly, and he was sent into his personal pocket dimension.
Then, he stood in Void and took one last look at the world.
"It's time to go home."
He activated the latest improved cross-Dimensional Teleportation spell, his body twisted for a while, disappeared in place, and returned to Earth-125.
