"We expect the vanguard of the main force to meet us in about four hours. At that point, we won't have a chance to catch our breath, and the continuous fighting could last for years."
"I'll leave the next four hours to Master Kaba to direct the battle. I'll try to connect to the central control of the Polyhedral Fortress using my mental power."
Without hesitation, Leo relinquished command and then, holding the Godslaying Staff, walked towards the center of the Polyhedral Fortress.
At the center of the Polyhedral Fortress is a heavily fortified secret chamber, which serves as the command center controlling the Polyhedral Fortress. Through this chamber, one can connect to the Polyhedral Fortress, expanding one's mental power and freely controlling all of Polyhedral Fortress energy.
Kaba watched Leo's retreating figure with some confusion. Leo was only level one. Although he had a long list of titles, even with the boost from the Polyhedral Fortress, he was only at level two.
Can a level 2 node really save them?
Definitely not!
What we need to do now is to request personnel from the Starship Command Center, specifically Level 3 combatants and Level Three Great Wizard.
Kaba had a lot to say to Leo, but seeing Leo's determination, he was helpless.
In fact, Kaba didn't know that Leo, relying on his Third-Class Wizard Medal, had already applied to the command center for the title of Level Three Great Wizard when he saw the native army covering the sky and pressing down on the earth.
The application was unexpectedly rejected.
The reason is that other directions require more Tier 3 combat power, and this is not the main direction of the native army's attack. Let them resist freely, and if they determine that they cannot resist, they can abandon the Polyhedral Fortress and escape without being punished.
The fact that the command center was willing to talk about fleeing shows just how much pressure they were under.
From the high-altitude dynamic analysis diagram, Leo could not see the main direction of the native army's attack, but judging from the energy response, the energy response of the native army he was facing was indeed not as strong as that of other directions.
But that's only relatively inferior.
Looking at the screen filled with deep red energy reaction points, Leo wanted to curse.
Each deep red represents a level three combat power. The level three combat power opposite you is at least 180, if not 200. What's the difference between this and the level three combat power of the three hundred or four hundred you face in other directions?
Aren't they all just unable to win?
Leo simply did not believe that the command center could not mobilize level three combat power. They only occupied such a small area; where had all the wizards been sent?
Leo wanted to grab them by the neck and ask, "Are you going to sacrifice their lives for maximum damage?"
Or is the command center researching some secret operation, which is consuming a large amount of Level Three Wizard combat power?
Without external support, Leo could only rack his brains to increase his own strength, as the only opponent he could deal with was someone of equal strength.
Inside the Polyhedral Fortress, only Benji is at level three, but even with Benji increased to 200%, he still couldn't handle over a hundred level three opponents alone.
Not to mention the boundless level two and level one combat forces.
Aside from wizards, no other creature can connect to the Polyhedral Fortress. Only a Benji can connect to the Bangani; if the Benji could, Leo Benji have already planted it in the center of the Polyhedral Fortress.
After thinking it over, Leo decided to give it a try.
"You can't do it either. You can only skip to level two at most, you can't even reach level three." Yaoyao muttered softly while standing on Leo's shoulder.
Leo didn't tell the other wizards about this bad news in order to prevent morale from collapsing. Right now, only Leo and Yaoyao know the true predicament of the Polyhedral Fortress.
"I don't need to jump three levels; I just need to be able to exert level three combat power."
Leo glanced at Yaoyao, his eyes lighting up slightly, and said, "By the way, my plan also needs your help. Whether we succeed this time depends on you. You're going to be the hero again."
"Do you need me to save the world?"
"Yes."
"Hehehe, why didn't you tell me about this sooner? Saving the world is my specialty."
Leo forced a smile as he watched Yaoyao practically float away. This little one just couldn't resist flattery, especially from Leo; he could flatter her every time.
"There are thirty-seven atomic bombs in the Shadow Space. After this is over, you and Benji must hide them all ten kilometers away. This is one of our trump cards."
"Thirty-seven nuclear warheads aren't enough?" Yaoyao.
"It's not enough, but if we aim at those level three creatures, we can definitely kill them."
"The rest will require us to work together to calculate the nuclear fission trajectory equation. When my mental strength reaches level two with the amplification from the Polyhedral Fortress, combined with your computing power, there's a high probability we can unleash level three combat power. The attack power might not be that high, but it will definitely be enough to deal with level three creatures in the Giant World," Leo said.
Aside from the level three giants, the remaining level three creatures in the Giant World are generally of average strength, and Leo is confident he can handle them.
Nuclear fission, atomic energy—this will always be Leo's most powerful trump card.
Especially when nuclear fission doesn't require a lot of magical power and only requires mental energy to construct the basic trajectory equations, the ability of the Polyhedral Fortress to transcend levels becomes so important.
"But the calculation speed... well, let's give it a try first."
Yaoyao frowned, wanting to say that even their fastest calculation speed would take close to three minutes, which was enough time for the native army to crush their Polyhedral Fortress into dust.
Seeing Leo's confident demeanor, Yaoyao swallowed her question back. Let's give it a try first, just in case things change.
The core of the Polyhedral Fortress is a slot-shaped structure. Leo inserted the Godslaying Staff into it, and instantly a magic circle lit up, illuminating the entire Polyhedral Fortress.
Leo took a deep breath and reached out to grab the Godslaying Staff. A surge of immense energy awakened within the Polyhedral Fortress, giving Leo, who was in the very center, a tingling, electric sensation throughout his body.
The next second, an indescribable power surged into his body from the Godslaying Staff, his mind went blank for a moment, and a cool sensation washed over him.
All the memories replayed in my mind, and a monstrous wave surged in the ocean of my consciousness.
Amidst the rumbling sounds, Leo's sea of consciousness expanded continuously, causing his body to tremble incessantly.
In a daze, Leo felt his ocean of consciousness connect with a vast ocean. Although this ocean was not his own, he could control it freely.
In an instant, my perception increased several times over...
Mental strength: 100...101...120...130...140...156
The moment his mental strength broke through 100 points, it surged like a jet engine starting up, climbing straight up to 156 points before stopping.
"Call"
Leo exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling an unprecedented surge of spiritual power. It was as if the world had slowed down considerably in his eyes. Problems he had encountered before could now be solved instantly, countless ingenious ideas appeared in his mind, and long passages of unknown sounds filled his ears.
The surge in spiritual power was beyond Leo's complete control for a time, giving him a feeling of strain, like a small horse pulling a large cart.
To alleviate the stinging sensation caused by the surge in mental energy, Leo began to try to control this externally received mental energy.
Immediately, a large amount of energy surged into his body from the Godslaying Staff, continuously flowing and strengthening along fixed pathways.
This wasn't due to Leo's voluntary absorption, but rather because, with his mental strength surging, the total amount of mana in his body was constantly increasing its upper limit.
At this moment, sensing that its master's magic power was insufficient, the Godslaying Staff took the initiative to help its master replenish its magic power to its fullest extent.
When the magical power transmitted through the Godslaying Staff stopped, the total amount of magical power in Leo's body had increased more than threefold.
The surge in magical power made Leo feel like he was having trouble breathing; it was like being stuffed full and about to burst.
Fortunately, thanks to his foundation in body refinement, his powerful physical body quickly adapted to the surge in magical power.
Leo repeatedly manipulated the mental energy he was connected to. This mental energy was actually expanded through the magic array on the Polyhedral Fortress, which was equivalent to creating a virtual mental energy system and adding another CPU.
What surprised Leo even more was that his current 156 points of mental strength were suppressed to 80% due to the rules of the Giant World.
If his mental strength hadn't been suppressed to 80%, Leo's mental strength could have surged to 195 points, which is close to the mental strength limit of Level Two Wizard.
Think about what Kaba said. A normal wizard would never have such an increase. It was only because his powerful physical strength could withstand more energy that his mental power surged to its limit.
The Elemental Body Refinement Wizard had to make Leo aware of his power from time to time!
With his palm resting on the Godslaying Staff, the entire Polyhedral Fortress seemed to become an extension of himself, offering a panoramic view of everything.
Every wizard within the fortress, every corner, every rune on the fortress, every magic circle, and the energy contained within the fortress...
Everything is under control!
These energies can be summoned at any time to unleash attack power far exceeding that of normal times!
Looking at Yaoyao on his shoulder, Leo wanted to share his joy with him, but what he saw was Yaoyao rolling his eyes, exposing his belly, and unconscious.
"The sudden, overwhelming boost over a higher level overwhelmed Yaoyao's soul, causing her to faint." Leo reached out and patted Yaoyao's lower abdomen, Yaoyao didn't react.
Yaoyao and he share a soul, Yaoyao's condition cannot deceive him; he can see Yaoyao's current state at a glance.
The surge in spiritual power caused a slight transformation in their souls. Originally, their souls had not yet reached the point of transformation, but the sudden forced transformation of their weak soul foundation was too much for Yaoyao to bear, so it was perfectly normal for her to activate the protective mechanism and fall into a coma.
Leo's soul was also stimulated by the surge in spiritual power, and he was still somewhat unaccustomed to it!
The shadow beneath his feet was twisting and deforming wildly. Originally, it was Leo's normal projection under the light, but now the grotesque and enlarged shadow had filled the entire central secret chamber.
Leo lightly touched the ground with his feet, and in his eyes, shadows separated from his feet. In the blink of an eye, thirty shadows appeared in the secret room.
Thirty shadows is not the limit of level two; it is the limit of pseudo-level two.
