Chapter 211

"… Orange represents Level Four creatures, while yellow, green, and blue represent Level Three and Level One creatures. Are there any areas marked wrongly on this map?"

Adam glanced at the map and found that it was the same as the information he submitted, so he said, "The markings on the map are correct, but Mage Amy, the capture of a Radiant King in Kratos will definitely cause a huge change in the situation. The previous information may not be accurate."

Mage Amy smiled and said, "It's fine as long as it's roughly accurate. If war mages don't even have the ability to improvise, they won't be qualified to participate in the Dimensional War."

The conversation between the two gradually attracted the attention of the crowd. Amy was a Level Four mage and Priscilla's right-hand woman in the Hyperdimensional. She had a lot of authority in the command center, and the crowd had never seen her so kind to any other mage.

"Is that the exploration mage this time?" Someone asked softly.

"Yes, he's a very powerful new mage. He single-handedly defeated the previous war trial. Until now, Ceylon Island is still a desolate place. I heard that the Holy Tower has already given up on that trial ground." A more gossipy mage looked at the newcomer and said softly.

"This time, the two worlds were also discovered by him alone. And I heard that not only did he complete the exploration mission, he also completed the infiltration mission. Not only did he push the progress of the War of the Two Worlds, but he also helped to capture a Hyperdimensional creature."

...

Among the crowd, there were a few who had mixed feelings, such as the twin sisters and Lilith.

After the trial, they had all chosen the command type, which was the role of a combat staff officer. It had to be said that Adam had left a huge shadow in their hearts. Lilith, who had always aimed for the command type, did not say anything. The twin sisters, who yearned for the combat type and infiltration type, chose the command type without hesitation after being asked by the Holy Tower's mage. They no longer had confidence in their combat strength.

This was their first mission after their promotion. When they received the order from the Holy Tower, they already knew that Adam was in charge of the exploration mission. Through the information provided by the Holy Tower, they also knew that Adam played an important role in the early stages of the war. This made them feel a little uncomfortable.

Everyone was clearly the same during the apprentice phase. They were the most dazzling geniuses of the same batch. But now, even though everyone had become mages, Adam had already become a 'very powerful person' in the eyes of others.

The gap between them seemed to have been widened from the moment it was revealed. They were caught off guard by the speed at which they were rapidly widened.

"Sister, should we go and say hello?" Hayley gently tugged at Shirley's clothes.

Shirley patted her sister's hand and looked away from Adam to continue her work. "Forget it." Who would accept a traitor? Shirley thought silently.

Adam saw a lot of acquaintances. Almost all of the combat mages who had been promoted at the same time as him had participated in the war. However, when his gaze fell on the twin sisters, he did not feel anything strange. He did not know that after killing Ignas and parting ways with the twin sisters, his information was instantly betrayed. Even if he knew, he would not care. The only reason he ignored them was because he never thought that they were friends before.

At this time, Adam suddenly thought of Moldova College. His only friend, Eliot, and Frank, who had signed a contract with him, as well as a few acquaintances from Madeira Island. He had not seen them for so many years. He wondered if they had successfully promoted.

— — —

Adam did not stay in the command center for long. The battle staff had their own way of making battle plans. Adam was just an exploration mage, a layman. He was not qualified nor interested in participating. He declined Amy's invitation and directly left the command center.

Although the war had not officially begun, the advanced mages who came with the Hyperdimensional Mages had already started the preliminary preparations. A large number of biological samples were sent to the starships for specialized mages to dissect and study. They hoped to find the weaknesses of these creatures so that they could adjust the Armor of Mages and recruit mages who were interested in participating in the war.

Adam also had an investigation report in his hand. The energy characteristics of the radiation species were similar to what Adam had studied. The ability that could counter them the most was his own electromagnetic magic. Other than that, alchemy mages who had the True Body of Elements could also counter them. The mages who specialized in pharmaceutics would not be able to do much here.

There were also some data in the report that Adam could not collect, such as the reproduction rate and time of the radiation species, the general characteristics of the species, the specific data of each level of the body, and the magic power needed to kill them head-on. These data could only be obtained by dissecting a large number of samples. This was the wisdom of a group.

The Hyperdimensional Mages sent a contract through the Magic Net. The content of the contract was that if Adam agreed, then during the war, the Magic Net would synchronize the Armor of Mages and make them have magnetic characteristics. This adjustment did not involve any core knowledge. The mages only had the right to use it. Every day, everyone would have to pay Adam 5.0 units of Ether crystal.

Adam gladly signed the contract. There was no loss to him at all. On the contrary, it would bring him a lot of benefits. Perhaps Electromagnetism magic would also be popularized because of this. If there were more mages participating in the research, this magic system would definitely be completed much faster than it was now.

Adam was very happy to see this happen. Because of the existence of the Magic Net, although the mages had conflicts of interest, they would not keep it to themselves. All mages knew from the moment they were promoted that only by being strong together could they obtain more knowledge and energy.

Those who did not understand this principle were eliminated early in the apprenticeship stage.

For Adam and the rest of the mages, it was only a short period of time before the war. However, for the two worlds, they had never imagined that the end of the world was so close to them.

The war between Katos and the Dragon Plane had come to an end. All the races and creatures in the Dragon Plane focused all their attention on the few starships in the crystal wall system and the sky. They were in a constant state of panic, not knowing what this terrifying existence that they could not communicate with meant.

For the first time, the dragons were completely united. After a discussion, a few foolish high-grade dragons who overestimated themselves tried to attack the starships. However, they were killed and captured by the mages passing by. When this scene was unmasked before the eyes of all the races in the Dragon Plane, their rationality completely collapsed. Like ordinary beasts in the face of disaster, they fled in all directions with their tails between their legs.

On the other hand, many heroes emerged from the rest of the mortal races. The ancient alliance was once again established. They chose to form an alliance to fight against a new and more terrifying enemy.

On the other hand, the entire race of Katos was in a state of war readiness. After King Thaniel was captured, the two sides had become mortal enemies. The other Radiation Kings of Katos returned to the world from the void. They mobilized all their kin that could be mobilized and fully prepared for the upcoming war.

However, the Radiation Kings did not feel fear. Instead, they were extremely excited. The arrival of the mages gave them hope for the evolution of the entire race. The endless pure high-level energy made every Radiation King drool.

Previously, the battle between King Thaniel and the super dimensional mage had ended too quickly, and they hadn't been able to rescue him in time. However, from afar, they could see that King Thaniel wasn't completely powerless to fight back. In their hearts, if it weren't for these otherworld invaders using despicable means to besiege him, King Thaniel definitely wouldn't have been defeated.

Over the past few days, the Radiation Kings did not act rashly. Instead, they stayed in their territories to observe the strength of the invaders. They discovered that there were only five invaders who were on the same level as them. Excluding King Thaniel, there were still six Radiation Kings. The rest of the invaders were not worth mentioning at all. Their numbers were far inferior compared to the radiation races. They believed that they would not be at a disadvantage once the war began.

At dawn on the third day in the World of Mages, the five starships finished arranging themselves in the void. The Dimensional Pivot Link completed the final connection. The massive energy emitted from the five starships intertwined like a tornado in the void and bloomed like fireworks, propping up a huge protective shield. It was as if another plane had been born between the dragon plane and Katos.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and came to the outside world. The first batch of mages to participate in the war felt the power of the origin pouring into their bodies through the energy channel of the Magic Net. Their Mage Armors automatically appeared and completed the magnetic field in an instant.

The five Hyperdimensional Mages stepped out of the starships and stretched out their hands at the same time. They slowly opened a portal in the void that was as large as the Dimensional Pivot.

After a few breaths of time, batches of war mages of all shapes and sizes arrived at the battlefield through the portal. They hovered in the air, silently activating their mage armors and summoning their soul servants. Then, they raised one of their hands high. Mana surged out and gathered together before burning fiercely.

At the same time, the five Hyperdimensional Mages' sonorous voices resounded in the ears of billions of creatures in both worlds.

"Me, Winifred."

"Whittier."

"Krimans."

"Lind."

"Priscilla."

"In accordance with the Will of the World of Mages, on behalf of The Fifth Element Holy Tower, I declare that the war against Kratos and the Dragon Plane has officially begun."

"Where the Origin descends, we shall be victorious!"

"Where the Mages lead …"

The war mages floating in the air, including Adam, simultaneously smashed their raised arms into their chests. There was no need for rehearsals. Every mage naturally roared out in anger.

"We shall prevail in every battle!"

The declaration of war in the World of Mages was unusually simple. They did not care to sugarcoat their role as invaders and predators, nor did they give their actions a name such as justice or salvation. They simply told the invaders that they were here, and they were done for.

I see, I conquer.

I fight, I win.

This was the belief of all war mages.

After the declaration of war ceremony ended, all participating mages went to their respective posts according to the contract and orders of the battle command, carrying out their respective tasks. Adam, on the other hand, turned around and returned to his room, preparing to leave for the Dragon Plane.

Although he had discovered and explored these two worlds, he was only a First-level Mage. In a large-scale war between worlds, his strength was not worth mentioning at all.

This time, there were five Hyperdimensional Mages who came to preside over the war. Four of them were dealing with Kratos together, and only one of them, the Lind Hyperdimensional, brought a small number of war mages to the Dragon Plane. He intended to end the war here as quickly as possible and then support the war in the other world.

Therefore, the command under the Lind Hyperdimensional recruited Adam, who was most familiar with the Dragon Plane, and asked him to join the mission so that they could clear the entire plane as quickly as possible.

In the Battle Command of the Lind Hyperdimensional Starship.

"What a weak world. If what we're feeling now is the peak energy of this plane, then there's no way for Hyperdimensional life to be born here."

Beside Adam, a First-level male Mage curled his lips in disdain.

"This plane isn't big, and because the secret technique called Extraction mentioned in the information is constantly damaging its origin, it's gradually shrinking. The Battle Command wants us to act as soon as possible to stop their continuous consumption of the origin, and then set up a magic circle to sacrifice this plane." Another Mage read out the contents of the mission, and then said to Adam, "I heard that the rebel group they formed is related to you?"

"Yes, Mage Evans."

At the mention of this, Adam's expression was a little strange. He did not expect that the slave colony he built in the Makalu Mountains before leaving the Dragon Plane would become the main camp of the New Covenant race, and that Lina would become one of their leaders.

"Then, do you have any suggestions?"

Adam shook his head. "Even if a considerable number of extraordinary individuals were born because of the final eruption of the origin, they're still too weak compared to us. There's no need for any plan, we can just crush them."

Mage Evans looked at the continuous stream of information from the infiltrating Mages and nodded in agreement. "The information you submitted mentioned that there are many races in this world that are suitable to be soul slaves?"

"That's right, including the dragon race. The races in the Dragon Plane are very similar to the magical beasts in the Mage World, but their intelligence and elemental affinity are higher. As long as they're brought back to the Mage World and their bodies and reproductive abilities are slightly modified, they'll be very cost-effective cannon fodder."

Mage Evans enlarged the panoramic map of the Dragon Plane and marked the location of the Makalu Mountains. "If that's the case, the losses caused by direct slaughter and destruction would be too great. Now, they're all living Ether crystals, and the death of any one of them means that our interests will be damaged." He turned to look at Adam. "I'll leave this mission to you. I hope you can persuade them to stop their meaningless resistance. Of course, this is not absolute. If they're stubborn, I think the Body Refinery Mages in charge of bloodline testing will be very happy to have so many test subjects, even if they're dead."
