Ten years later!
The Darkflame World had been completely occupied and transformed by the Player Civilization, and a large number of small and medium-sized worlds had also been occupied.
Having gained the advantage, the Player Civilization launched an even more forceful invasion of the Wizard Civilization.
But things did not go as the players had imagined. The Player Civilization did not sweep all the way to the Wizarding World's home base!
Instead, when the Second Layer front appeared, the players suffered a crushing blow.
The modern wizards led by Capecchi displayed a terrifying level of power.
The existence of Resonance Sorcery allowed the wizards to wield power of a higher level. To keep the front stable, the players even had to bring in reinforcements from elsewhere!
In the Endless Void, amid the vast, boundless darkness, the Wizard Civilization's Spatial Fortresses and the Player Civilization's warships collided.
An endless torrent of energy bombs, Elemental Particle cannons, and high-energy rays formed a terrifying river of death.
The elemental forces here were thrown into complete disarray. Space warped, relative time grew extremely chaotic, and communicating any information became exceedingly difficult.
In this extremely chaotic elemental environment, anyone below the level of a Fourth-Level Lifeform could not even manipulate the elements.
The battlefield kept fracturing. Along the border between the two civilizations, their warships became intermingled, carving out hundreds of thousands of battlefields, large and small!
These smaller battlefields held anywhere from a few dozen to tens of thousands of ships.
Each one had ample reserves. As soon as a battlefield showed signs of collapsing, reinforcements would rush in to keep it balanced.
Personnel continued to pour into the battlefront, and the flames of war seemed to have no end.
In this extremely high-pressure environment, the Wizard Civilization's disadvantage became even more apparent.
