A thousand years later...
The 10,000th year of the Wizard Era!
The threat of the Player Civilization had sent the entire Wizarding World into overdrive. Through frenzied yet cautious expansion, the number of worlds under the Wizarding World's rule had rapidly increased, with at least three hundred thousand worlds under its control!
During this process, the Wizards had encountered many worlds conquered by the Player Civilization.
But the Wizards had not stirred up any trouble. Instead, they had carefully kept themselves hidden and gathered a wealth of information. From this information, they had pieced together a rough picture of the current situation across the entire World Cluster.
Overall, the Player Civilization's invasion of the cluster where the Wizarding World was located had only begun fairly recently. Its main forces had yet to arrive, and the Player Civilization was still probing the area, expanding at a relatively slow pace.
While the Player Civilization moved slowly, the Wizards lurking in the shadows further accelerated their expansion!
Vast numbers of Spatial Fortresses traveled through the Endless Void, searching far and wide for other worlds.
The Wizards quickly proposed all kinds of experiments that were exceedingly dangerous and could destroy a world with the slightest misstep.
One devastating weapon after another was swiftly created by the Wizards. Even the experimental fields that had once been considered utterly inhumane and strictly monitored by the White Wizards were gradually opened up!
In addition, by gathering information, the Wizards had made ample preparations to face the Player Civilization.
Knowing that the Player World possessed a bizarre Game Core that could continuously strengthen itself by extracting World Force, the Wizards had crafted several weapons specifically designed to counter players.
The Timeline Disruptor!
This devastating weapon had been specially created by the seven High-Level Wizards of the World Guardian.
