In the dead silence of Mirror Space, there are no stars in Blink, nor the roar of the cosmic storm, only the suffocating undercurrent of murderous intent.
John·Carter looked stern, and slowly pulled out his long staff from Void Pocket, which was engraved with countless complicated runes. Facing the man in front of him who exuded Eighth Tier's terrifying and coercive Bleach First Divine General - Lich Tuniz, not only did he not flinch, but he slammed the bottom of the staff into Void.
"Buzz--!"
Along with a strange space vibration, thousands of clones that looked exactly like John, even with the same magic power fluctuations, instantly filled the entire Mirror Space like stars in the sky! They tightly surrounded Lich Tuniz in the center. Then, all the clones raised their staffs in uniform, and the dazzling arcane light lit up on thousands of staff tips at the same time, preparing to launch a devastating concentrated fire bombing.
Facing this overwhelming formation, the purple soul fire in Tuniz's eyes jumped suddenly, and he immediately made a counterattack.
"Dark Dark Magic: Blood Siphon!"
The bone staff in Tuniz's hand suddenly waved, and a scarlet and evil gravitational field exploded with him as the center. In an instant, hundreds of John clones rushing at the front burst like fragile bubbles under this weird magic, turning into tiny light spots scattered all over the sky.
'Illusion?' Tuniz was secretly shocked. As a high-level undead who has lived for countless years, he was unable to tell whether these clones were entities or pure light and shadow magic at the first time!
Before he could further analyze the secret of the law, a sharp arcane ray had already shot out from another clone's staff and struck him hard. This sudden attack instantly activated the passive defense mechanism on the Lich's body, and a thick layer of Black Bone Shield immediately protected him firmly.
'What the heck! Some illusions are just shadows used to confuse sight, while some illusions can actually release substantial attack spells?!'
Tuniz immediately realized that he had fallen into an extremely difficult dead situation. If he had to be on guard at all times in the next battle and distinguish which of his opponent's thousands of attacks was a harmless phantom and which was a real one that was fatal, then he would definitely be consumed to death by this high-intensity psychological game!
'We can't delay it any longer, we must use Law of Thunder means to make a quick decision!' Tuniz made a decision from the bottom of his heart.
According to the top-secret information from the Bleach base camp, although these mages of the Arcane Empire can rely on the perverted Magitech and the starship core to conduct cross-level operations, they have an extremely fatal weakness - that is their "soul"!
For a soul with only Seventh Tier, forcibly controlling the magic power of Eighth Tier, which is as violent as the ocean, is undoubtedly a small horse pulling a cart. As long as time goes by, without the enemy taking action, their own souls will completely collapse due to overload.
"Dark Dark Magic: Hellfire!"
Tuniz let out a shrill roar, and boundless jet-black flames instantly spurted out from his bone staff! This black fire with extremely strong adhesion and soul-burning properties was like a world-destroying rain of fire, instantly sweeping across the entire Mirror Space, burning all the clones that were difficult to distinguish between true and false.
The Lich's calculation was very shrewd: he planned to use this large-scale indiscriminate AOE spell to force John's body to defend. As long as the opponent uses magic power to defend, his true coordinates will be exposed immediately.
However, when the Hellfire in the sky gradually dispersed and all the clones were wiped out, Tuniz was shocked to find that the body of John was not in that area at all! He seemed to have evaporated without a trace!
At this moment, a chilling sense of fatal crisis suddenly struck from behind Tuniz!
"Tsk--!"
A laser beam containing the ultimate Law of Purification, like a hot knife cutting through butter, instantly penetrated his proud Black Bone Shield, and then penetrated his white skeletal body unabated!
'Damn ants!' Tuniz cursed crazily in his heart. He didn't care at all about the physical damage to his white bone body, because the undead body could be reshaped at any time. But he was horrified to find that the power of Holy Purification contained in that ray was frantically trying to erase his original will!
Fortunately, as First Divine General, he also had a lot of trump cards. He immediately activated the "Soul Protection Curse" that had always been in the depths of his soul and resisted the erosion of this wave of purification power. However, his soul was still severely traumatized by this, and his breath became a little sluggish.
Tuniz turned around suddenly, and Soulfire in his empty eye sockets was already rolling violently with extreme rage. He stared at John who finally appeared in the distance, and sang word by word with a sinister voice that was as heartbreaking as nails scratching glass:
"In the name of the great Bleach, the absolute Overlord of death, the supreme wizard Inheritors--Guznader! I will rain down the final Judgment on my enemies here!"
"Authority of Death: Oblivion Death Ray!"
As the word spirit fell, the entire Mirror Space seemed to tremble violently under this Divine Power that towered over all living beings. A pillar of death light that was extremely dark and seemed to be able to swallow up all light and life, broke out of the air directly above John's head without any warning, and fiercely covered him with the will to obliterate everything!
Looking at the fatal blow that contained the god Authority, John's face instantly turned pale, and his facial features were completely distorted by extreme fear. His proud arcane intuition was frantically alarming: once touched by this death light, he would have no chance of survival, and even his soul would be completely wiped out from the multiverse!
"No... I am a Arcanist! Even death can't stop me from pursuing the Truth of the universe!" John gritted his teeth and let out a desperate roar.
Immediately afterwards, a shocking scene happened. John's originally young and handsome face, which looked like he was in his early twenties, actually aged crazily in just one second! His skin became shriveled and wrinkled, and his hair instantly turned gray and even fell off. In order to resist this fatal blow, he sacrificed all his lifespan and life potential without hesitation!
As his lifespan burned crazily, a dark golden spherical shield exuding immortal brilliance protected his old body within it.
Looking at this scene, Tuniz sneered with great disdain.
As First Divine General under Bleach, he has the supreme characteristic of borrowing a bit of "Authority of Death" from the great Bleach Guznader Quan. Although casting this Divine Grade spell will instantly drain all the magic power from his body and make him fall into an extremely long period of extreme weakness, it is definitely worth the money. Because in the past wars, this move has never failed!
At first, when Tuniz saw that the golden shield was holding on for a few seconds under the wash of death light, he frowned slightly. But considering that the other party was a madman who had just sacrificed his entire lifespan and exploded with the power of recovery, it seemed reasonable to be able to resist for a while longer.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, with a crisp "click" sound, the golden shield that had exhausted its potential finally Diffindo. And at the moment when the shield shattered, John trapped inside didn't even have time to scream, and was completely wiped out from the world by that terrifying Oblivion Death Ray, leaving not even a trace of ashes.
Tuniz The purple flame in his eye sockets became extremely weak due to the overdraft of magic power, and was in danger of extinguishing at any time, but the smile on his skull face was brighter than ever.
Dragging his extremely weak body, he slowly flew to the place where John "died", preparing to make one last breath confirmation. After confirming that the other party was really dead and not even a scrap was left, he took out a precious magic scroll from his interdimensional storage bag with satisfaction, and prepared to tear Mirror Space apart and return to the real world to heal.
However, at the critical moment when he was about to crush the scroll!
Dozens of Blink chains with bright Arcane Runes were shot out from Void without warning, instantly entangling and binding Tuniz like poisonous snakes! These chains not only blocked his physical movements, but also completely cut off his magic circuits and soul fluctuations extremely domineeringly!
Tuniz raised his head in horror, and then saw a scene that made him feel horrified--
John·Carter! The man who had just been completely obliterated by Oblivion Death Ray, and whose soul should have been wiped out in ashes, is now standing in front of him intact, with his clothes not even messy! Not aging, not dying, he is still the young Arcanist in his early twenties!
"Are you surprised? Are you surprised? Do you really want to know how I did it?" John raised a playful smile at the corner of his mouth, playing with a black orb that exuded strange fluctuations in his hand.
"But it's a pity that I have never been in the habit of explaining mysteries to the dead."
John's face turned cold, and without giving the Lich any chance to beg for mercy or resist, he directly slapped the black orb hard on Tuniz's skull forehead!
The orb blended in the moment it touched the bones, directly invading the Lich's "Soul Space" and forming an absolute law barrier that completely isolated his soul from the outside world.
John knows very well that as a fanatical believer of Bleach, once this lich is completely killed in battle, his soul will immediately be drawn by the law and return to Bleach Guznader's side and stay with him Reborn in the Divine Kingdom. Therefore, John must use this extremely precious Empire special Divine Artifact to forcibly cut off Bleach's right to summon the souls of his followers!
'With this Eighth Tier top-notch undead soul as the core formation eye, my 'Illusory World' magic will definitely usher in a qualitative leap!' John was thinking ecstatically in his heart.
Looking at the entire Arcane Empire, John·Carter is definitely the top ten top Genjutsu master. And the reason why he has such a lofty status is all due to his superb stunt-"Illusory World"!
This is not an ordinary blind trick at all, but a rule Parademons method similar to the concept of "domain". In this domain space created by himself, he can weave "illusions within illusions" at will, and even "seamless switching between illusion and reality".
What's even more terrifying is that this field can influence and amplify the enemy's emotions extremely covertly! From the beginning of the fight, the reason why Tuniz lost his calm so quickly, became completely angered, and finally desperately exhausted all his magic power to release the move "Oblivion Death Ray" was all because John was secretly using the law of illusion, and Infinity amplified the mania and murderous intention in the lich's heart!
In fact, from the moment the battle started, John's body never came even half a step closer to the lich. He has been hiding in the safe corner at the edge of Mirror Space, like a cold director, controlling a top-quality stand-in infused with his own lifespan and magic power, perfectly performing the tragic drama of "sacrifice life and die heroically".
When the Lich fell into extreme weakness due to the release of divine punishment, and completely relaxed his vigilance because he thought he had won, that was the moment when John really showed his fangs!
According to the Empire Military Department's <Spoils Act>, the Eighth Tier Lich that he killed alone was not confiscated material, but his personal private property. He could completely dismantle it, study it, and even use it as a spellcasting material.
John contentedly took the lich's body and sealed soul into his bag, and then quickly released Mirror Space and returned to the real starry sky of the universe.
The first time he returned to reality, John immediately peeled off a glowing energy sphere from his Soul Space with a pale face. This sphere was what allowed him to survive in Mirror Space Intermediate Air Conditioner uses the medium of starship Eighth Tier and Magic Core. But the pressure of this kind of cross-level call is too terrifying. The brief confrontation just now has brought his soul to the edge of tearing.
He would never dare to bring the starship into Mirror Space, because once the starship is destroyed by the Lich in the aftermath of the battle, he will instantly lose the capital to fight across levels and become a lamb at the mercy of others.
After returning the magic ball, John gasped and looked at the starry sky in the distance.
There, a silver-white translucent giant dragon made of pure energy, and the Viking Berserker Gom that looked like they were possessed by the god of war, were engaged in an extremely brutal and desperate fight with two Seventh Tier undead lords.
Although his soul was exhausted, John did not hesitate at all and immediately took over the supreme control of the starship again.
"Lock the target and recharge the secondary battery!"
Following John's instructions, the starship's muzzle erupted with dazzling light. After sensing the fatal threat, the two Seventh Tier undead who were fighting fiercely wanted to tear apart the space and escape. But John's extremely tricky high-level confinement spell had already arrived first, completely locking the space around them!
"Boom!"
Under the terrifying bombardment of the starship's secondary guns, the two Seventh Tier undead instantly suffered devastating injuries. John took the opportunity to swing out the arcane chain and capture the two dying prey alive.
However, the next second he completed the arrest, a bone-deep pain suddenly erupted in his body!
"Ah--!"
John held his head and screamed in extreme pain in the control room of the starship. The green veins in his neck that were originally hidden under the skin were now like poisonous worms that had come alive, spreading crazily towards his cheeks and body. At the same time, large areas of age spots, representing the loss of vitality, began to appear on his face and hands at a speed visible to the naked eye!
This is a sign of the full-scale onset of "Kailos's Poison"! This price that must be paid to obtain power beyond the limit is crazily devouring the origin of his life!
"It is detected that the commander's vital signs have dropped off a cliff, and the emergency medical intervention protocol is activated immediately!"
The cold mechanical sound of the artificial ship spirit sounded. With a flash of light, John disappeared instantly and was forcibly transported into the highest-standard deep life-sustaining treatment cabin inside the starship.
When Gom, who was covered in blood, and Abiodun, who had been released from Fusion's state, rushed back to the starship, they immediately went to the medical area to check on John's condition. After confirming that his vital signs had gradually stabilized with the intervention of the life-sustaining fluid, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
They immediately sent a good news to Supreme Command Hub of Pluto and requested follow-up support.
Although Red Number Star System currently has no signs of life, several planets here still contain extremely rich rare magic mineral resources. Therefore, Empire will soon send a professional interstellar mining fleet and heavy equipment to take over.
It wasn't until the huge figure of the mining fleet jumped over that the scarred starship finally turned around and embarked on its return journey.
At the same time, distant Solar System, Pluto Supreme Command Hub.
Supreme Commander Olivia had just received the exciting victory report from Red Number Star System. After carefully checking the battle video and confirming that there were no abnormal fluctuations left by Law of Causality on the battlefield, she returned her attention to the vast star sea battle situation that seemed to never be finished.
For a few short minutes, everything in the entire hall seemed orderly and the situation was stable. However, this false tranquility was soon broken.
A scarlet screen, representing the highest level of alarm, started Blink right in front of Olivia without any warning, instantly tightening everyone's nerves!
"Luna, what happened?" Olivia immediately turned his head and looked at the top prophet Empire not far away.
At this moment, Luna's eyes have completely turned into pure white without pupils, and an extremely mysterious Law of Fate is surging crazily around her.
"Omicron, Shasta, Kara, Prenute, and Caffrey... these five galaxies are being invaded by large-scale undead at the same time!" Luna's voice was ethereal and ethereal, revealing a despairing depression.
"No... it's still too late...Omegon Galaxy's fate line has been completely extinguished."
"What did you say? Omegon?! Bring me the real-time video there immediately!" Olivia's face changed suddenly, and there was a rare hint of urgency in his tone.
Just a few seconds later, the tragic scene of Omegon Galaxy appeared on the holographic screen - it was a dead zone that was completely swallowed up by absolute darkness and death energy. Even the light of stars could not penetrate the thick layer of decay.
Seeing this scene, Olivia seemed to instantly think of some extremely terrifying strategic intention, and she immediately connected the communications of the other two highest-level cores of the Empire.
"Did Rowena, Dumbledore, Bleach Guznader appear in your defense zone?" Olivia went straight to the point.
"Did you also receive the message over there?" Rowena·Ravenclaw's face appeared in the communication light screen, her eyes were extremely solemn, "My magic radar has just captured a Ninth Tier terrifying energy body approaching my galaxy at high speed. It is most likely a high-level clone of Bleach."
"The situation on my side is the same, the target is directed at my defense area." Dumbledore's old but still resolute face appeared in another screen.
What is creepy is that whether it is Rowena or Dumbledore, their originally smooth necks are actually coiled with twisted veins that are exactly the same as Olivia, exuding a strange green light! This is obviously the Empire senior management collectively paid an extremely painful price to fight against this Cataclysm!
"Listen up, you two must immediately activate the highest authority of 'Floating City'! At any cost, use the most brutal firepower to blast the clone opposite you to smithereens in the shortest possible time!" Olivia's order was filled with unquestionable iron blood.
"What happened? Has the situation deteriorated to this point?" Rowena realized the seriousness of the problem.
"Omegon Galaxy has fallen. It is too close to our Empire core border!" Olivia said through gritted teeth, "If Undead Legion has established a solid frontline base there, and they can use it as a springboard to launch a blitzkrieg directly into our homeland! Therefore, we must wipe out Omegon Galaxy completely from the map of the universe at all costs!"
"I'm very sorry... I failed to foresee this trap in the long journey of destiny." Luna on the side exited the Prophecy state, with a trace of tired blood seeping out of the corners of his eyes, and his tone was full of self-blame.
"It's not your fault. If you hadn't forcibly spied on the secrets, we might have had to wait until the base was completely built and the army was approaching before we could detect their conspiracy." Olivia reassured calmly.
If Undead Legion is really allowed to successfully establish a base, the difficulty of eradicating this cancer will increase exponentially. Because every undead high-level base is directly connected to the unfathomable "Death Divine Kingdom" of Bleach Guznader at the legal level!
As long as Divine Kingdom's passage is immortal, that base will be able to receive endless reinforcements from the undead army; what's even more deadly is that Bleach Guznader, who is the pinnacle of Ninth Tier, can even use the anchor point of this base to send his true body directly to the border of the Empire without anyone noticing!
A disaster of that level is absolutely devastating.
Therefore, no matter how much the price is paid, Olivia will never allow the Sword of Damocles hanging over Empire to take shape! A shocking decisive battle involving multiple galaxies is about to begin!
