This time, they trapped 1,200 Stigmata Wizard, which is equivalent to wiping out a quarter of the Wizard World's strength.
If the Wizard World loses 25% of its power, the war will likely temporarily cease, giving them a chance to regroup and rapidly increase their strength.
For the Wizard World, the loss of eight hundred Stigmata Wizard has exceeded the capacity of all wizards to bear it. If these four hundred-plus Stigmata Wizard are still blocked and killed by the Lord of Souls, the wizarding civilization will regress by tens of thousands of years at the very least.
The Wizard World must rescue these four hundred-plus Stigmata Wizard, at any cost.
All life forms aware of this battle have focused their attention here, as if the universe itself has slowed down in preparation for this war between two civilizations, a war destined to be written into cosmic history.
Two years have passed amidst the anxious waiting of all living beings.
Black Soluo, in his clone, lay inside a barrier of a living world and saw a fleet of hundreds of motherships appear at the edge of the universe.
"They've arrived."
I don't know why, but those two seemingly light words carried the scent of iron and blood.
In the once quiet universe, thousands of Lord of Souls burst forth with powerful energy. Black Soluo clone, also jumped out of the world from within the world barrier. Along with him, several Level-Four Lord of Souls jumped out from space. They stood in the universe like a solid wall blocking the front of the mothership fleet.
Without any pleasantries, hundreds of main cannon beams, each over a kilometer in diameter, and millions of smaller secondary cannon beams shot from the horizon—a hateful greeting from the wizards to the Lord of Souls.
Each mothership has a main cannon, which, at 100% charge, can unleash over a million points of attack power. Even a level four lifeform would be destroyed in one shot.
However, since the mothership was built, apart from assisting the Stigmata Wizard in killing the World Lord, there has never been a case where the mothership's main guns have single-handedly killed a Level 4 life form.
Today, there are over 4,500 Level-Four Lord of Souls on the battlefield, giving the mothership's main guns the best chance to break their own long-standing record.
Even the smallest mothership carries over 100,000 secondary guns, which, when fully charged, can unleash an attack power ranging from tens of thousands to 300,000 points.
Today, with over 400 motherships operating all their secondary guns, the total number exceeds 40 million.
Alternating, full-coverage firing, the entire star field was instantly filled with the streams of light fired from the secondary cannons, locking onto every Lord of Souls and relentlessly unleashing firepower without regard for anything else.
There are many Lord of Souls, more than six thousand, but under such dense bombardment from the main and secondary cannons, even one Lord of Souls will have to face seven thousand attacks!
The Stigmata Wizard had filled the mothership's energy pool to capacity before the last Stellar Leap, in order to fire continuously during the breakout and forcefully suppress the attacks of the Level-Four Lord of Souls.
With only 432 Stigmata Wizard, they were simply no match for the more than 6,000 Lord of Souls and the 200 controlled World Lord.
They can tie down a maximum of three times their number; the rest will need to be dealt with by the mothership.
More than four hundred motherships opened fire simultaneously, unleashing tremendous firepower. Amidst the streaks of light, one could see the Level-Four Lord of Souls desperately trying to evade capture.
They had only been promoted a short time ago, but their strength had improved significantly. They could be injured even if hit by small-caliber secondary guns, and large-caliber secondary guns and more powerful main guns were simply their killers.
Seven thousand cannons bombarded a Level-Four Lord of Souls, forcing them to scatter and take cover.
Black Soluo, the clone, was also subjected to a frenzied attack from the secondary cannons. However, he was known for his strong defense, and while the other Level-Four Lord of Souls were in a sorry state, he let the secondary cannons hit him without moving.
Unfortunately, the mothership's energy beam attacks are all straight and cannot track enemy targets; otherwise, these mothership attacks alone could have wiped out many Level-Four Lord of Souls.
Whether viewed from the Shadow Plane or through Black Soluo's perspective, the mothership fleet has at most made these Level-Four Lord of Souls look a little disheveled. As for killing any Level-Four Lord of Souls, there haven't been any casualties so far.
As for those level 5 and Level-Six Lord of Souls are even stronger, they don't need to dodge; the mothership's energy beam attacks simply cannot penetrate their defenses.
The mothership continued its relentless attack without slowing down, closing in at full speed.
The closer the distance, the denser and stronger the energy beam attack becomes; in some places, the individual beams are no longer visible.
All the rays and beams of light connected together, forming curtains of light that bombarded us.
Such a powerful attack forced the Lord of Souls defending this place to abandon defense and choose to evade.
But just as these Level-Four Lord of Souls opened their defensive line to avoid the light barrier's attack, a group of Body Refinement Stigmata Wizard wielding giant weapons and activating their Bloodline True Body appeared behind the light barrier, and they released their defensive line.
More than three hundred Stigmata Wizard, like the most cold-blooded killers, appeared the instant the mothership attacked. More than fifty Level-Four Lord of Souls were violently torn apart because they could not dodge in time, and the gap in the Lord of Souls ' defenses widened rapidly.
From Black Soluo's perspective, it was clear that after the initial probing attack, the mothership fleet found the weakest point in the defense line and then concentrated all its firepower to bombard it.
When the Level-Four Lord of Souls's evasion of the mothership's attack created a gap in the defense, the Stigmata Wizard seized this defensive lapse, appearing instantly to widen the inconspicuous gap in the defense and create favorable space for the mothership to break through.
Among these three hundred Stigmata Wizard, Body Refinement Stigmata Wizard make up the majority, with only a small number being Elemental Stigmata Wizard.
Not only these three hundred Stigmata Wizard, but also among the twelve hundred Stigmata Wizard who came to conquer a thousand worlds, Body Refinement Wizard make up the vast majority.
During this rotation, the Body Refinement faction held the initiative. Faced with a thousand worlds available for expedition, they prioritized selecting their own people, and the result...
The result was something no one had anticipated!
Among the three hundred Stigmata Wizard, Leo saw many familiar faces: the Qi and Blood Frenzy Stigmata Great Wizard, the Purple-Gold Vine Stigmata Great Wizard, the Interstellar Wanderer Stigmata Wizard, the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard, the Sword Bearer Stigmata Wizard...
These three hundred Stigmata Wizard are all among the top-ranked Stigmata Wizard, possessing an absolute advantage in strength when facing Lord of Souls of the same level.
That makes sense. Only powerful Stigmata Wizard could have gotten this far. Those who were slightly weaker would either have been killed or captured in the first wave of attacks by the Lord of Souls, or would have died in the subsequent pursuit.
The remaining 432 Stigmata Wizard were the elite among Stigmata Wizard. It's unimaginable how long Stigmata Wizard would have to decline if all of them had fallen here.
"Hmph, a bunch of useless trash."
A reprimanding voice echoed in Black Soluo's mind. This wasn't directed at him, but at the Level-Four Lord of Souls who had opened their defenses during the mothership's attack.
The cold voice showed no concern for the deaths of the fifty Level-Four Lord of Souls, but instead rebuked them for lowering their defenses due to their cowardice and panic.
Before the war even began, the Lord of Souls had already established real-time communication by connecting their soul fluctuations.
A temporary command post composed of multiple Level-Six Lord of Souls can command the entire battlefield.
"According to the plan, one squad will deal with the group of Stigmata Wizard who are trying to break through, the second squad will hold off all the motherships, and the third squad will remain in place as a mobile backup force for the time being."
"Remember, capture them alive if possible. Those motherships are extremely valuable; it would be best to capture them intact, as we can use them."
"Action!"
At the command of the Level-Six Lord of Souls, more than two thousand Lord of Souls and World Lord surrounded the three hundred Stigmata Wizard who had just cleared the way for the mothership behind them. With each Lord of Souls having a combat power ratio of 7 to 1 or even more, they launched a frenzied attack on the three hundred Stigmata Wizard.
Two thousand more Lord of Souls charged towards the more than four hundred motherships, braving the dense energy beams of attack.
It's clear from the orders just given that the Lord of Souls is absolutely determined to win this battle, and is even considering capturing the mothership alive or seizing it intact.
The remaining two thousand Lord of Souls remained in place; they would join a battle group depending on the battlefield situation.
Because of his higher status than others of the same level, his impressive battle record, and his acquaintance with the Supreme Lord, Black Soluo was not sent into battle. Instead, he was assigned to the third squad as a reserve mobile force, constantly monitoring the battlefield situation.
Leo carefully observed the changes on the battlefield through the Shadow Plane. As expected of the elite among the Stigmata Wizard, when two thousand Lord of Souls surrounded three hundred Stigmata Wizard, the three hundred Stigmata Wizard not only were not broken through, but also firmly blocked the two thousand Lord of Souls.
Leo could sense the terrifying energy erupting on the battlefield through his consciousness within the body of his clone Black Soluo.
Space shattering alone is insufficient to describe the intensity of the battlefield. A dead star, located right in the center of the war, was shattered into dust by the energy surge unleashed by nearly 2,500 terrifying life forms of level four or above, even before any attacks hit it. Not a single large fragment remained; the entire planet was reduced to dust.
The roaring energy wave swept across Black Soluo, tens of thousands of miles away, and its power did not diminish at all. Countless Level-Four Lord of Souls from the Third Squad were blown away.
Black Soluo's eight sharp claws extended, gripping the space as if it were solid ground, preventing himself from being blown away like the other Level-Four Lord of Souls.
His eyes, unable to fully open, were squinted as he stared intently at the battlefield. He could see that in the instant the battle began, batches of Level-Four Lord of Souls who had charged forward with the Advanced Lord of Souls fell to the ground, none of them able to keep their bodies intact. Their shattered bodies resembled those of broken dolls crushed by a train.
They didn't launch a single effective attack, and before they even entered their attack range, they were torn apart by the violent energy unleashed by the battlefield.
