Chapter 155: The Immortal

As time passed, the disappearances of Mages became more frequent. These people were all “invited” by the Star Alliance using tough methods, but as for the results, no one knew.

Up to now, not a single Mage had escaped from the Abyss Creatures.

Although the Mages who were captured were all low-grade Mages, it still caused great anger in the Holy Council.

Just in the fourth month after Lin Lei arrived in the Andromeda Galaxy, the Holy Council issued a bounty order: anyone who could kill or capture an Abyss Demon alive would receive a rich reward from the Holy Council.

These rewards were so attractive to the eyes of various Free Mages, because they included some High-grade Mages, and even some energy dimension comprehension insights from Immortals!

For a time, the Main Plane was in turmoil. The warriors of the Star Alliance suddenly discovered that overnight, their role had changed from hunters to prey!

Low-grade Mages were no match for the warriors of the Star Alliance, but as long as a third-grade Mage comprehended the Curse, they could defeat these outsiders.

The use of Curses was originally considered a kind of taboo, but in this battle against the Demons, it was widely used and became common knowledge.

There was another skill that was developed by the Holy Council and made public. These Abyss Creatures carried a special aura that the residents of the Main Plane did not have. As long as one was a Mage, one could easily identify it.

The people of the Holy Council called it the stench emitted by the Demons, and targeting this aura, they continuously developed more than a dozen related Curse skills.

This time, the Holy Council did not hold anything back, but made these Curses public.

Under this situation, after nearly a hundred warriors of the Star Alliance were continuously killed, they began to disappear from the Main Plane.

But the hunting actions of the Mages clearly angered the proud Watcher Civilization, and the counterattack arrived immediately.

The Star Alliance no longer sent warriors, but used warships cruising in outer space to carry out ultra-long-range strikes. Often, the Mages on the ground had just sensed the danger when they were immediately completely evaporated by high-intensity energy rays from the sky.

Facing this new situation, the Mages were clearly not prepared enough. Even High-grade Mages were continuously killed by the warships of the Star Alliance, with dozens of them dying.

The Star Alliance clearly disdained to hunt those low-grade Mages, specifically targeting those objects that emitted powerful energy fluctuations.

In one month, the warships of the Star Alliance attacked nineteen times and succeeded eighteen times. The one failure was because they had targeted an Immortal within the Holy Council.

It was this one time that Lin Lei witnessed the power of these super strong experts who had comprehended the Law dimensions!

Facing the attack of the Star Alliance warship, the Immortal directly took the hit head-on, and then immediately counterattacked.

Based on the energy trajectory of the previous attack, the Immortal immediately calculated the attacker’s precise position. What followed was an energy fluctuation strong enough to shake the entire Main Plane.

The location of the Immortal was on a planet called Fobole where the Holy Council was located, which was a full two thousand Light Years away from Montokas where Lin Lei was.

But the Subspace Fluctuation caused by this energy attack was comparable to the fluctuation produced when Planet A returned that year, and it spread throughout the Main Plane almost instantly.

The Star Alliance warship, hundreds of millions of kilometers away from the Fobole Planet, was completely annihilated by a full-dimension energy attack with a diameter of over a hundred kilometers before it could even react.

This was the last attack by the Star Alliance warship, and it ended in failure!

Afterwards, both the Star Alliance and the Holy Council fell into a period of silence, leaving only the lingering effect of the Immortal’s attack, which was enough to destroy a planet, to be talked about endlessly by the Mages of the Main Plane.

Lin Lei also had to re-estimate the power of the Holy Council.

Through his understanding over these past few months, he figured out the specific situation of the Andromeda Galaxy. This Galaxy had over eighty thousand Life Planets.

Compared to the prosperity of intelligent life on the Life Planets of the Galaxy, this Star System was still in an agrarian society, and the population of each planet was only just over one hundred million.

Among these one hundred million plus people, the number who could become Mages fluctuated around 1000, a probability of one in one hundred thousand!

Therefore, the total number of Mages in the entire Star System was just over eighty million, among which first and second-grade junior Mages accounted for 80% of the number, and the real Archmages above third-grade did not exceed twenty million.

This looked very large, but the pyramid distribution of strength among Mages was as extreme as the ratio of Mages to ordinary people before.

Among these nearly twenty million Archmages, those of the third-grade also accounted for 80%. Calculating further up, for fifth-grade Mages, which was the level Lin Lei was at, the number was already less than eight hundred thousand.

Going further up, there were the thresholds of the Sixth-grade Archmage and the Seventh-grade Immortal. According to Merlin, there were only seven Immortals, and all of them were within the Holy Council.

One had to know that although Immortals had mastered the seven Energy Dimensions, they were far from being Pan-dimensional Creatures, because the current Four Space-time Dimensions also needed to be thoroughly comprehended before one could talk about increasing the authority of the Universe!

At least, Lin Lei had not seen Immortals create any Forbidden Domain spanning several Light Years in the Main Plane.

Based on Lin Lei’s previous estimate of the combat power of Immortals, a strong expert who had mastered seven-dimensional Law energy, although their strength was powerful, should have been within an acceptable range.

But this time, the Immortal’s attack far exceeded Lin Lei’s estimation. This kind of power was simply like a large Fortress Main Gun, definitely possessing strategic deterrence capability, even against the current Star Alliance expeditionary force!

The distribution of the Mages’ strength was completely opposite to the previous pyramid of numbers. The strength of the seven Immortals was almost a qualitative leap, and they were no longer comparable to the Mages below them.

On the Star Alliance side, through the warrior Kas whom Lin Lei secretly controlled, he also obtained the specific strength of this Star Alliance expeditionary force.

They had brought Planet A! They had also brought one hundred thousand warriors and one thousand Star Alliance warships!

Through Kas, Lin Lei gained a deeper understanding of the warships of the Watcher Civilization. These warships condensed the technological essence of the Watcher Civilization and were basically perfect existences, having reached the limit of the Material World!

Volume was no longer a restricting factor for their combat power. Even if the Star Alliance built them into Large Warships tens of kilometers long, their combat power would not increase much, and instead, they would lose maneuverability and flexibility.

The only thing restricting the power of this kind of warship was the fundamental Law of the Universe!

But even this kind of perfect warship, in a sneak attack, was forcibly destroyed by a living being!

This was equivalent to pouring a large basin of ice water onto the flames of revenge burning high within the Star Alliance.

It was time to calm down and rationally think about the combat power situation of both sides.

This situation was not what Lin Lei wanted to see, and the Holy Council would not just remain silent like this. It was just that they could not find the hiding place of the Star Alliance, so their anger had nowhere to vent.

The Universe was too big. Even if it was just the Andromeda Galaxy, it was boundlessly large. As long as the people of the Star Alliance hid in a corner, the probability of being found was almost equal to zero.

The Immortal was attacked, and although the sneak attacker was successfully killed, this was still a disgrace to the Holy Council! The matter would not simply pass.

Lin Lei could provide an outlet for the Holy Council to vent their anger, because through Kas, he had the specific teleportation coordinates of Planet Alpha.

The problem now was how to pass on these coordinates silently and make the Holy Council believe them.

Lin Lei found Merlin to discuss a solution to this problem.

Merlin was clearly very surprised, but he patiently listened to Lin Lei recount the whole story without interrupting.

Finally, he thought for a moment and said: “You do not need to show up for this matter. There are many Free Mages in the Alliance who can silently leak this teleportation coordinate, and it will definitely attract the attention of those furious people in charge in the Holy Council.”

Lin Lei reminded: “The base of these Abyss Creatures has a full Energy Dimension protective shield, so teleportation cannot enter its interior. This requires the fighting Mages to have the ability to survive in the Abyss, which requires at least a Fourth-grade Mage.”

Merlin looked at Lin Lei, smiled slightly, and said: “This is for the Holy Council to worry about. You and I can just watch the changes.”
