Chapter 1117

Chapter 1096 Since ancient times, the path of emperors has been mostly forged in vain; only I can control the void with nothingness!

In the forest, a red spider was rapidly chasing a young elf boy who was fleeing quickly. The elf boy kept looking back at the red spider behind him, only to see that the spider’s speed was increasing. After running for a long time, the distance between him and the leaping red spider was actually gradually decreasing.

The elf boy looked back again and saw the leaping red spider’s eight eyes right face to face with him.

Just as the red spider was about to leap up and devour him, a voice rang out.

“Child, lie down!”

The elf boy gritted his teeth. How could he lie down in time?

But there was a vine at his feet. His foot touched the vine, and he tripped and fell to the ground. The leaping red spider missed its target and avoided him. At that moment, a flaming arrow shot from afar, piercing the red spider’s abdomen.

The Void Swarm behind the red spider had already wiped out four Star Ring Wizards’ lineages that had entered this world, absorbing a large portion of the magical system. This gave it considerable magic resistance, allowing it to survive the 0.5-ring arrow. Instead, it struggled to its feet and charged at the elven ranger like a ruthless killing machine. The ranger

fired another arrow, this time a wind elemental. The wind elemental arrow suddenly split into three in mid-air, transforming into three swift wind arrows that spiraled through the air like drills, piercing the leaping red spider’s body in three different directions.

The wind and fire arrows combined to instantly ignite the red spider, turning its entire body into charred remains.

The ranger, dressed as an elven ranger, moved nimbly to the elven child’s side. When he looked up and used Eagle Vision to gaze into the distance, he immediately saw the red spiders hiding in the grass and under the rocks three thousand meters away.

“Is this child bait for those vile insects?”

This elven ranger was the renowned Ranger Master, Master Qin, whose overall strength had reached the first level.

He chanted a spell, then plucked a handful of wild grass from the spot and wrapped it around his arrow. Just as the red spiders hidden in the grass and rock tunnels pounced out, he fired the arrow. Instantly, this sealing arrow took effect in the forest, causing the trees to shift, and the swarm of red spiders that had pounced were blocked by the moving trees.

The leader of the Red Spiders, in charge of the plan, stood still after discovering the target’s disappearance, emitting a mournful chirping sound towards the sky while ordering the other Red Spiders to quickly destroy the trees in the area.

Master Jin, carrying the child and dragging the corpse of the Red Spider, left the area, quickly traversing the dense jungle to a settlement of wooden huts.

The Rangers operate on a teacher-student system, with an academy system as their main structure.

These Ranger settlements are the core of Ranger civilization.

Master Qin En whispered to his students, “My friends from afar tell us that the earth is now crimson, covered in spiderwebs and red spiders. At least four large elven settlements have been destroyed by those terrible monsters. Our world is now in grave danger.” “

I originally thought our enemies were the elven empire that always tried to force us into their ranks, those ancient war trees, and those elven warriors with their special fighting techniques. But I never imagined our true enemies were these red spiders. Fortunately, these forests were planted by us Rangers, and we’ve protected and nurtured them along the way.”

Master Qin En’s hand stroked a withered branch, and instantly, under the influence of his magic, the sapling quickly regained its vitality.

The Rangers’ power comes from the forests they plant and protect. The more forests they plant, the stronger their entire group becomes. And now, the number of Power Leaves is no longer 1001. As Locke’s power becomes increasingly complex, the Ranger system, as a system of the Moon of Evolution and the Tree of Prosperity, describes the number of Power Leaves—the core of its power—as 1831.

Rangers cast spells with bows and daggers, possessing many offensive spells related to archery, as well as tracking, healing, and prophetic magic.

They gain power from the forests by defeating enemies that attack them or by cultivating the forests themselves.

Among the remaining seven contestants, the spread of each power system in this world is constantly fluctuating, sometimes strong, sometimes weak, but the Ranger system consistently ranks third.

First place belongs to Edgar’s Elven Empire, whose fifteen ancient trees, planted across the land, have led to the empire’s expansion. Because of its emphasis on quantity over quality, it consistently holds the top position.

Second place is Patrick’s Elven Kingdom, which also focuses on quantity and speed. His ultimate spell, Rainbow Nursery, primarily studies the ultimate magic of nutrient soil, and his power system is based on runes formed from dried nutrient soil. These ten types of nutrient soil form a special elven profession called “Earthworker.” These Earthworkers can alter terrain, modify local geography, and gain power from magical plants growing in the altered soil.

His elven kingdom’s power system was so simple that its influence spread rapidly.

At this time, in the entire world, only his alchemists and Edgar’s elven warriors were considered prominent schools of thought.

Almost all the elves in the world belonged either to him or to Edgar.

Master Qin En addressed his students, “The other Ranger Masters and I used magic, harnessing the power of the jungle, to keep those monsters out. They couldn’t find a way in and remained isolated.

So today, they used this elf boy in my hands as bait, hoping to lure me out to rescue him and find a way into our jungle.”

“But I blocked them with my Sealing Arrow.”

“Each Ranger Master possesses unique skills; there are tens of thousands of Ranger spells alone. It’s a pity that the Ranger Masters act independently, unable to unite their efforts.”

“I’m worried about our future,”

said a female elf Ranger. “I used Eagle Vision to see those swarms slaughtering plants and animals, destroying the forest. We don’t need defense, Master; we need offense. We need to take the initiative.”

Master Qin En shook his head. “I also used Eagle Vision, but those swarms were endless and numerous. Their actions today tell us they possess highly developed intelligence. I think we should be more cautious.”

The female elf Ranger examined the elf boy.

“This child—I’m afraid he’ll never wake up. Master, when you used the Vine Binding spell, he was unlucky; his forehead hit a stone on the ground. I don’t know if he can wake up now.”

Meanwhile, in the western region of this world, in the area where the Macedonian witch preached, the weather had been permanently altered, replaced by rainforest, transforming the ecosystem into a rainforest ecosystem.

When the insect swarm approached, they were constantly blocked outside the rain curtain because they couldn’t find a way into the magical realm.

The Macedonian witch watched the insect swarm. Her ultimate magic, Heavenly Rain, was a realm in itself. This region, altered over the years by the rain-summoning masters under her power system, had long become part of the magical realm. Unless someone actively invited the insect swarm into the magical realm, they would find it difficult to enter the rainforest realm.

The rain-summoning elves stared at the elite spiders among the insect swarm through the rain curtain.

At this moment, on the viewing platform of the arena, many wizards nodded in approval, praising Locke and the Macedonian witch’s power system.

“The Macedonian witches’ ultimate magic system is a self-contained realm. While this reduces competition, it truly renders those disgusting insects helpless.” “

Although Wizard Locke is from another wizarding region, I feel his rangers under his power system are incredibly intelligent. They even captured a red spider’s corpse and brought it into their base to study. This—is so much like us wizards. Those rangers are almost behaving the same way as us wizards.”

The five judges nodded in agreement.

After careful observation, Wizard John said, “The power system is the core of ultimate magic. The power and characteristics of an ultimate spell are closely related to its power system.”

“The sheer variety of spells available to the Ranger group under Locke’s Power Leaf rune system is astonishing. Look at the match; that Ranger, Jinn, is practically a first-ring wizard. He can manipulate vines with minor spells to make the elf child fall, and he can use various offensive life spells to summon wind and fire to attack the swarm of insects, and he can even seal magic. His Ranger students can use healing spells to heal the elf child and divination spells to perform some fortune-telling.” “

From what I’ve observed, under the Power Leaf system, there are likely over ten thousand fully developed, powerful spells—that is, decent spells.”

Many of the headmasters from the Rain Marsh Wizarding Academy sitting around him showed expressions of astonishment.

They knew what this meant.

It meant that Locke’s Power Leaf system was a very complete basic rune system, capable of describing various natural phenomena and compatible with many spells.

Its spell diversity and power compatibility far surpassed those of other Star Ring wizards.

Those Rangers were essentially a group of wizards without ritual magic or permanent defensive fields.

Dean John murmured, “If we don’t consider the Permanent Defensive Field, those Rangers’ combat power is likely already on par with a first-ring wizard.”

“That’s truly remarkable. How did they do that? The rune system within the Leaf of Power framework shouldn’t be that simple. There must be some power mixed in, causing those elves under the Ranger system to be able to genuinely keep up with the power of wizards in our wizarding world.” “

That’s why they can use magic to seal off the forest, avoiding direct confrontation with the insect swarms.”

Dean Faust observed for a while and said, “It’s not quite like that. Some data points might be on par with a proper wizard. But the Permanent Defensive Field is our wizards’ greatest advantage at the first-ring stage, and ritual magic is our Crystallized Wizards’ greatest advantage. Comparing them without considering our greatest advantages isn’t reasonable.” “

Besides, I think the Ranger system is too monotonous, while our wizarding world has a wide variety of magical schools, so a comparison is still inappropriate.”

“Secondly, Rangers can share the power of the jungle, so they have two major problems. First, they cannot stray far from the jungle; once they do, their strength drops rapidly. Second, they need to protect the jungle; the more the jungle is destroyed, the more their power decreases. But overall, I think the Ranger system and the Leaf of Power system are indeed very good.”

“Like the Rainmaker system of the Macedonian witches in our Rainswamp, both are systems with very high ceilings,”

said Wizard Faust. “From this perspective, the Ranger system is more balanced than the Rainmaker system. After all, the Rainmaker system starts too slowly; even now, it’s the slowest spreading magic system besides that contestant, Haishan. The Ranger system, on the other hand, consistently ranks among the top three in terms of the number of people spreading its magic.” Wizard

Gray shook his head and said, “You can’t say that. After all, the contestants are only just beginning to spread their magic systems; it’s currently a blue ocean market where anyone can spread it. But with this swarm of insects, the blue ocean has turned into a red ocean. So the environment has changed.” “

There are no more wild elven tribes.”

“Then the various power systems will be vying for people, and there’s also an external enemy watching from the sidelines. If any power system falters even slightly and reveals its weakness, the insect swarm will take advantage of the situation,”

said Wizard Gray. “A power system can reflect the characteristics of a wizard’s ultimate magic.”

“Locke’s Ranger system is good, but it has a problem: it relies too much on the jungle. I wonder how he will solve that.

Moreover, I think his ultimate magic and power system are not yet fully developed. The true power of his Evolution Moon and Tree of Prosperity doesn’t seem to have been revealed. In comparison, the Macedonian Witch’s Rainmaker system is deeply integrated with her Heavenly Rainmaking.”

“Look, that rainforest land is full of cabbage-related plants.”

“As this competition continues, it’s still uncertain whose power system will emerge victorious.”

The five judges and the wizards who heard Dean Gray’s comments all looked up at the competition. They saw the rain-summoning elves in the rainforest region holding rain-bringing cabbages and casting spells to pray for rain in their territories. They stored their magic power in the rain-bringing cabbages, which then grew everywhere on the earth.

The headmaster of the Reptile Garden nodded, saying, “I also favor the Macedonian witch’s power system.”

“In terms of organizing her power system, she surpasses Locke. The Rain-Making Cabbage supports the magic realm, complementing her immense magic; the two combine perfectly. This fully demonstrates her power as a water magic wizard, a botanical wizard, and a breeding wizard. Rainmakers can use the Rain-Making Cabbage to cultivate rain magic, and can also summon cabbage-like magical plants within the magic realm as weapons against enemies, depending on their rank. Although within the Creation Lotus World, it’s like a world unto itself.”

“I just don’t know what she’s going to do, or how far she’ll go,”

said the Red Dragon Throne. “Arguing about these things now is pointless.”

“These contestants, except for Rose and Haishan, all have incomplete power systems. They all want to use this competition to further refine their power systems, either by adding or removing runes. They’re already progressing rapidly.”

“In my opinion, it’s not very meaningful whether Macedon’s system surpasses Augustine’s or vice versa. The gap between them isn’t that large. What determines the outcome is their rate of progress in this competition.”

The other four judges nodded in agreement.

The surrounding wizards also agreed with the Red Dragon Witch’s words, thinking that she truly lived up to her title as the Throne Wizard; her insight was spot-on.

At this moment, a Star Ring Wizard pointed to the illusory screen in the sky and said, “During the Void Swarm’s attack, it was unexpected that Edgar and Patrick suffered the most.”

At this moment, within the Genesis Lotus World, Patrick and Edgar stood on the world’s crystal wall system. Patrick gritted his teeth, while Edgar remained calm and composed, seemingly believing that everything was under his control.

Their power systems were two prominent schools of thought within elven society, meaning that the Void Swarm’s invasion had the greatest impact on them.

Edgar also unleashed his ultimate magic upon this world. His ultimate magic, along with that of the Macedonian witch, became the Zerg’s primary targets. However, the Macedonian witch’s ultimate magic was a world unto itself, and the Zerg had yet to find a way in.

Therefore, Edgar’s Tree of Perfection became the Zerg’s target.

Seventy percent of the Zerg were besieging the capital city where Edgar’s Tree of Perfection was located.

Edgar observed that his Elven Empire’s warriors were at a disadvantage on various local battlefields.

However, the Elven Empire was simply too vast, with a population exceeding one hundred million. So, even though they were temporarily defeated on various battlefields, the Elven Empire was not overwhelmed by the Zerg’s numerical advantage and its lineage severed in the Creation Lotus World, unlike the previous four Star Ring Wizard systems.

—Patrick

looked at Edgar’s true form strangely.

“At a time like this, you can still laugh? Both of our countries are the Zerg’s primary targets.”

Edgar smirked. “This is the advantage of establishing a large scale in the early stages. If my Elven Empire didn’t have a population of one hundred million, making it a prominent force in this world, my elves would likely have been wiped out in the first week of the insectoid invasion.”

At this moment, in the capital of the Elven Empire, the Elven Emperor, though in his palace, received daily reports of defeats from all directions.

This emperor, the son of that Elven general, was deeply troubled.

Edgar had fifteen ancient trees growing on this land, all apprentice-level trees cultivated from broken branches of the Tree of Life. The roots of these trees intertwined with those of the Tree of Perfection, forming a root network through the nodules. These ancient trees were essentially branches of the Tree of Perfection.

The Tree of Perfection used these ancient trees to cast the Great Magic: All Things Return to the Tree.

As classic ancient trees, they are the War Tree, the Beast Taming Tree, and the Knight Tree. These fifteen ancient trees represent fifteen skill sequences. Each warrior can choose one sequence and advance through 20 levels. Among them, the sequences corresponding to these three ancient trees are the most popular and powerful among the elves in the Elven Empire.

These three sequences correspond to a star ring spell model of the wizard Edgar.

That is to say, reaching the end of these three sequences allows one to learn a complete star ring spell model.

Edgar’s Perfect Tree is a vast magic composed of fifteen intertwined star ring spell models.

Elves who choose the War Tree will receive a comprehensive enhancement of their physical attributes. Elves who choose the

Beast Taming Tree will gain the ability to control magical creatures. Elves

who choose the Knight Tree will gain the special spellcasting ability to manipulate steel.

In particular, Edgar’s twenty-level sequence is essentially the twenty-level official system of the Elven Empire. Therefore, to advance, one must gain the emperor’s approval within the Tree of All Things system, and the emperor possesses the power of the twentieth level sequence, equivalent to the power of a crystallized wizard.

Indeed, within Edgar’s path of sequence, the power of a Crystallized Wizard could already be born.

Of course, unlike the power of Rainmakers and Rangers, these elves following the path of sequence, even if their magical pressure equals that of a Crystallized Wizard, are probably no match for a true first-ring wizard.

However, Edgar’s strategy was to gain an early advantage and then strengthen that advantage along the way.

So, this was enough.

At this moment, on a major battlefield within the Elven Empire, an Elven general at level 15 of the War Tree sequence had continuously slain hundreds of Red Spiders. His army had been fighting here for three whole months, but these Red Spiders seemed oblivious to death and life, relentlessly attacking the Elven Empire’s legion.

This legion consisted entirely of Elven warriors at levels 1-3 of the War Tree sequence.

But according to the Elven general’s original idea, even wild beasts in the mountains would be routed if enough were killed.

Therefore, he had originally intended to use the Elven Empire’s army to create an opportunity for the insect swarm to collapse, but such an opportunity seemed to never come. Instead, his army, suffering heavy casualties, enduring prolonged warfare, and seeing no hope of victory, saw more and more deserters.

The elven general, seeing another squad of level 1 elven warriors attempting to flee the battlefield, was filled with rage.

“Come back. With the army collapsing, you will only die faster.”

“You cannot escape.”

“You will only face defeat.”

He pried open the claws of a red spider charging at him with his bare hands, then lifted it and hurled it to the ground, killing it instantly.

The War Tree sequence granted him unparalleled physical prowess.

He turned to chase after the fleeing elven soldiers, but his pupils suddenly contracted. He saw that the seven elven deserters had actually crossed the battlefield and run into the depths of the jungle.

They had really escaped.

This realization plunged him into despair.

This action made him instantly understand that these insect swarms were not just bloodthirsty beasts; they possessed a high degree of organization. They had deliberately let the deserters escape, allowing his army to crumble.

The next moment, even more deserters appeared.

Yet, the red spiders continued to intentionally let these elven warriors escape.

Seeing his army completely out of discipline, the level 15 elven warrior knew that all was lost.

He sighed and released his sword. He hadn’t expected that, after all this, it would be his army that had truly collapsed first. Where did these monsters come from?

At that moment, a red spider as tall as a person appeared before him, its claw-like legs piercing through his chest. The elven general’s eyes widened, for this red spider, as tall as a person, had clearly mutated and evolved.

During the three months of fighting against their elven empire, these red spider swarms had surprisingly adjusted in both height and combat methods, adapting to the fighting styles of the elven empire’s fifteen different sequences of warriors.

They were fighting a highly advanced civilization!

After killing this high-ranking elven warrior, the red spider laid eggs directly on his corpse. In an instant, his body was completely devoured by a certain type of insect egg, which continued to expand on the spot, transforming into a huge, thin sphere. With a sound like tearing cloth, a swarm base covered in barbs appeared. Centered on

this swarm base, a dense network of red spider webs appeared.

The Insect Mother hid herself on a lotus leaf of the Creation Lotus, remotely controlling the swarm base and modifying the red spiders’ genes to make them more adaptable to the fighting styles of the three main ancient tree sequences of elven warriors within the elven empire.

“As long as I consume that tree, I will have the ability and resources to escape this world. That tree is the key.”

The Insect Mother was incredibly greedy, her insect eyes fixed on the prime material plane of the Creation Lotus.

Meanwhile, the contestants looked down and saw that all the insect swarms seemed to have abandoned their attack on their elven tribes, and were instead attacking Edgar’s elven empire.

The elven hordes under Edgar’s power system were essentially drawing fire for all the wizards.

The Macedonian witch glanced at the situation and snorted coldly.

“That’s fine too. Edgar’s War Trees are growing everywhere, allowing him to seize territory and temporarily acquire the most resources in the world, expanding his power system’s influence at the fastest speed. But what happens afterward? His power system will eventually falter.”

“Even if his Elven Empire unifies the entire world, the limit of his fifteen Ancient Tree sequences is only level 20.”

“It won’t change at all. But the actual combat power of those Ancient Tree sequence Elven warriors, whose magical pressure is equivalent to that of a Crystallized Wizard, is only that of a first-ring Wizard. In other words, Edgar, you’re wasting resources and time. My Rainmaker and Locke’s Ranger, although their strongest individuals currently only have first-ring magical pressure, all possess the combat power of a first-ring Wizard. Ramses’s Dragon Masters are a bit weaker, but they still live up to their magical pressure.” “

So I say, Mr. Edgar, it seems better for all of us to be eliminated first.”

The Macedonian witch looked at Wizard Edgar with hostility.

“You want to seize so many resources first, but you lack the ability to develop them. Letting you occupy so many resources is completely unnecessary,”

Wizard Edgar retorted, standing atop the crystal wall system, addressing the Macedonian witch’s true form. “I disagree with your point. Scale and speed are inherently power. My rapid rise is an advantage of my power system, and a characteristic of my ultimate magic. At each stage, you must quickly gain an advantage, which can then snowball.”

“My strongest individual within my power system is already level 20, equivalent to a crystallized wizard. Meanwhile, the highest magical pressure of any individual in your power system is only equivalent to a first-ring wizard.”

“Moreover, the truly strongest individual in my power system isn’t one of the elves, but my Perfect Treant. The overall magical pressure of the entire Elven Empire is concentrated on my Perfect Treant. Whether in the heavens or on the earth, whether in the world of the living or the world of the dead, my Perfect Treant is absorbing the magical pressure of the entire empire. This means that quickly gaining an advantage is meaningful,”

said Wizard Edgar. “At this moment, Lady Macedon, Locke, your power systems seem only capable of defense, not offense. The same is true for Wizard Ramses’ power system. Wizard Patrick’s power system is on the verge of destruction.” Patrick

gritted his teeth again.

He had mustered the courage to participate in the competition, but unexpectedly, he felt the gap between himself and this group of freaks.

Wizard Edgar looked at Rose and Hashan. “Your power systems are too strange. I can’t see them at all. So, rounding up, only my Elven Empire can resist the invasion of the Void Swarm right now.”

“This shows that gaining a huge advantage in the early stages is very useful. Now, if my Elven Empire collapses, I think you’ll be in a difficult situation too,”

the Macedonian witch sneered. “Anyway, those insect swarms can’t invade my magical realm, so I don’t care.”

The other wizards also showed thoughtful expressions.

Locke, however, pondered. The situation has now reached a certain balance; the level of our great magic is relatively similar. So what will truly determine the outcome is the progress we wizards make in this competition.”

At this moment, Rose transformed into a beam of divine light, her true form descending.

Everyone looked at Rose in surprise, not expecting her to choose to descend her true form into the Creation Lotus World, and at such a dangerous time. Wasn’t she afraid of being besieged by the insect swarms?

Rose, the witch, descended directly to the earth as a goddess.

“Heaven is on my side!”

“I am the God of the Underground Caves. By entering that world, I can increase the area of its underground caves. If it benefits the insectoids, I can form an alliance with them. I don’t know much magic at all. It would be laughable for me to compete and solve this so-called creation problem.” “

I’ve allied with the Insect Mother of that insectoid race, and she will have to listen to me. I’ll then use her to threaten Locke Augustine. If he doesn’t sever his karmic ties with Rose the Witch, I will directly join forces with the Void Swarm and use two of his most powerful spells in this competition to destroy him.”

Rose the Witch landed directly on a leaf of the Creation Lotus. With her arrival, the earth of this world shifted, underground caves were created, the tectonic plates became complex, and various planes related to the underground world appeared.

As the underground world of the Creation Lotus became more complex, the roots of Edgar’s Tree of Perfection took the opportunity to spread along the newly emerged underground city world, competing with the insectoid swarm for underground space.

Rose the Witch smiled gently. She was the goddess of the underworld, and the more fiercely the struggle between the insect swarm and Edgar’s elven empire fought for control of it, the stronger her divine power grew.

Rose the Witch turned, and her wizard’s robes vanished, replaced by a dark purple evening gown adorned with teardrop-like crystals. She smiled and walked upon the lotus leaves, sensing the Mother of Insects constantly responding to her.

With each step Rose took, her figure grew taller, her face more alluring.

“Mother of Insects, come to see me,”

Rose the Witch said confidently. At the same time, she recalled her past identity. She was originally the sole goddess of a great world, but that world was invaded by the Persepolis gods. On the verge of destruction, she encountered the Tacitus family from the Rose Council.

She was supposed to die at the hands of the Persepolis gods and be reincarnated, but the Tacitus family used some unknown potion to interrupt her reincarnation, placing her inside an infant—the Witch Rose.

Strictly speaking, she wasn’t reincarnating at the time. Her reincarnation was interrupted by the Tacitus family, forcing her to place her divine essence into the human body of the Witch Rose.

The Tacitus family believed they had successfully obtained a descendant of a Sun Ring-level goddess, but they didn’t realize their actions had given the goddess Rose an opportunity to prolong her life.

When the goddess Rose wanted to regain control of the body and contend with the Witch Rose personality for control, the Tacitus family, for their own benefit and due to Rose’s years of clandestine maneuvering, remained silent.

If it weren’t for Locke’s affair, she could have taken advantage of the destruction of Rose’s avatar, resulting in significant magical and magical pressure depletion, to launch a surprise attack and completely seize the body.

Unfortunately, Locke’s curiosity was too strong; he incorporated this karmic connection into his Star Ring because Rose had anticipated his potential betrayal and had preemptively planned his actions.

Following the message from the Mother of Insects, the Witch Rose arrived at a lotus leaf of creation. Standing there, she said, “Mother of Insects, you can come out now. I wasn’t an accomplice, nor am I bait for those wizards. Come out.”

The Mother of Insects emerged from the lotus leaf of creation. She was a massive red spider, with a production area at her tail resembling a Zerg base. She belonged to the Red Spider tribe of the Void Swarm, a swarm specifically designed to prey on magical plants, and also a swarm unit specifically designed to counter them.

The special spider silk secreted by the three basic red spiders could counter almost all magical plants.

They were created by the Void Swarm specifically to deal with worlds protected by powerful native magical plants. They could act as parasites on those world’s magical plants, constantly feeding on them and becoming stronger in the process.

As for the three types of red spiders, they were merely temporary units created based on the conditions of this world.

The true power of the Red Spider swarm lay in corrupting magical plants with their spider silk.

The Red Spider Mother of Insects then looked at Goddess Rose.

“Goddess, you must be a native goddess from a plane. How did you manage to reincarnate into the wizarding world? You’re very lucky. The Nightmare Legion’s world has very high barriers to entry; some of my people want to immigrate, but they are often rejected.”

Goddess Rose snorted coldly, feeling distressed at the thought of what the Tacitus family had done.

“Cooperate, Mother of the Swarm. I am the goddess of the underground caves. If you cooperate with me, you can fight against the wizards’ elven kingdoms in the underworld. I can help you.”

The Red Spider Mother of the Swarm crawled onto Goddess Rose’s back.

“A native goddess, huh?”

“I have a better idea. You are incredibly audacious. What do you take us for? I am the intelligent Swarm, a super-individual within a super-civilization. You, a mere native goddess, dare to appear before me. There is no cooperation among the Swarm, only devouring.”

Goddess Rose turned around in horror. The next moment, the Mother of the Swarm spat out a large amount of red spider silk, instantly enveloping Goddess Rose. Then, she opened her mouth and swallowed the witch Rose whole.

After the Mother of Insects swallowed the Goddess Rose, her abdomen swelled up due to the inability to digest her. Her abdomen expanded like a balloon, making her spider-like body appear as an insignificant entity suspended on top of it.

“I’ve exhausted all my energy reserves.”

“But it’s enough—”

“Although I haven’t digested the goddess’s energy yet, I’ve finally obtained some good energy.”

At this moment, the Mother of Insects’ body was releasing the radiance of recombining particles. The Void Swarm possessed the ability to freely recombine its body at the particle level. Previously, because this world lacked advanced power, and she hadn’t absorbed any powerful magic, she couldn’t provide her swarm with any good particle recombination. But after swallowing the Goddess Rose, everything changed.

The Goddess Rose had completely underestimated the ferocity of the swarm!

Meanwhile, in the Creation Lotus World, the capital of the Elven Empire was dug up to the vicinity of the capital by a swarm of red spiders, who had tunneled through it. The entire capital was instantly engulfed in an endless sea of spiders.

The Elven Emperor trembled as he tossed aside his crown, looking at the ferocious spiders outside the palace.

The thought of becoming food for those spiders filled him with terror.

He shuddered and stumbled down the steps, seemingly powerless, dying instantly like a mortal.

At that moment, an illusion of Edgar David emerged from the life-size mirror beside him. The saintly avatar of the wizard Edgar David stepped out of the mirror and gradually merged with the elven emperor’s body.

“Elf, now I give you new life through the Tree of All Things.”

“You will be my incarnation in this world. You have received my mark; our minds are one. Through you, I will become the ruler of the elven empire.” “

This is the magic of incarnation.”

“Elf, from this moment on, god and king are one.

” The

elven emperor rose from the ground, his eyes no longer filled with fear, but instead staring through the window into the spider-like eyes of the ferocious red spiders.

“God will be degraded, king will be elevated.”

“I am without virtue or merit, utterly useless.” “

The empire is neither good nor evil, unrestrained by convention.”

Edgar’s ultimate magic, Tree of All Things, automatically modified its spell model.

“I have witnessed too many cases of wise men being exiled in the Blackwater World. Therefore, my empire will use the unforged to control the illusory forging, inviting many wise men to enter my empire. Since ancient times, the path of emperors has often been illusory forging, but my empire is uniquely unforged. Since it is unforged, it can embrace all rivers and invite many powerful people to enter my elven empire. I will here forge the ‘Void Emperor’.”

The power runes transformed from the fifteen ancient trees are rapidly recombining. His ultimate magic, “All Things Return to Trees,” originally had this possibility and was developing in this direction. He will use breeding magic, botany, and a large amount of tree-man magic to construct a set of ‘Void Emperor’ forged magic.

He wants to become the Fake Forging Emperor!

Edgar’s true form stood atop the crystal wall system, addressing the many contestants who looked on: “In this creation puzzle, if it remains unsolved, everything will reset. In other words, this is a good place to experiment with your fake forging ideas. Gentlemen, our current levels make it difficult to determine a winner in a short time. Therefore, the key to victory may lie in how much change we can make in this competition!”

“Mr. Patrick, your power system is about to collapse. I’ll give you a choice: merge your power system into my empire, like Mr. Haishan. That way, you’ll still have a chance. Mr. Ramses, and your power system—can you also merge your power system into my elven empire?

“
