Chapter 752 Multi-racial Union
Let's rewind a little.
Outside the dimensional barrier, Jemin and Viola were floating side by side above the pale blue light curtain.
Looking down from the outer void, the entire continent was completely enveloped by that dimensional barrier. The light patterns on the surface of the barrier flowed slowly, coating the edges of their robes with a cold glow.
Viola maintained her posture with her fingers spread wide.
Grayish-white law tendrils extended from beneath her feet, gently touching the surface of the barrier, but did not penetrate further.
Her light green eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint, ambiguous smile played at the corners of her lips, as if she were looking at a dessert that she initially thought was ordinary but turned out to be unexpectedly exquisite.
Jemin looked down following the view she provided.
After discovering the two's whereabouts, he could vaguely see through the barrier the metal warships that were hastily taking off on the continental surface, as well as the octopus-faced warriors that scattered like startled insects.
He had never seen this race before, but the array of those warships, the style of their energy coating, and the clearly coordinated tactical rhythm during their ascents were enough to show that this was definitely not a native civilization that could have spontaneously developed in a small plane.
"No wonder Senior said it was a pleasant surprise." Jemin turned his gaze to Viola. "This plane has already been occupied by someone else. These octopus-faced guys seem quite powerful."
"I didn't see any of these traces when I was remotely detecting them before." Viola's tone rarely contained joy. "Neither those metal warships nor those octopus-faced creatures were in the detection data at the time."
She paused, a thoughtful glint flashing in her silver-gray eyes.
"It's most likely caused by the temporal turbulence in the endless chaotic void. The position of this surface itself may just happen to be stuck on a void zone where the time flow is unstable. When I was detecting it, the time nodes didn't match, which is why I didn't find anything."
Jemin nodded slightly.
In the endless chaotic void, time and space are the most unreliable things.
Once elemental turbulence erupts, the plane coordinates, time flow rate, and spatial structure may all shift.
One moment it's a newly born plane, the next it might have been drifting in turbulent currents for billions of years.
It is not surprising that the investigation results deviate from the current situation.
Otherwise, wizards wouldn't need to create cannon fodder units or even train dedicated combat wizards to fight in outpost battles.
Her gaze quickly fell on a faintly visible emblem on the hull of those warships.
The main body of the emblem is a group of stars surrounding a luminous point, arranged radially, as if drawn together by the central point of light.
With just one glance, the smile in Viola's eyes faded, replaced by a hint of coldness.
"It seems we're in luck; the enemy isn't an ordinary multidimensional civilization, but a multi-race alliance."
Upon hearing this term, Jemin's pupils contracted slightly.
The multi-racial alliance is one of the three major enemies of the wizarding civilization, alongside the Psychic Calamity and the Reflection Dimension.
He had faced off against beings from the Reflection Dimension and knew how troublesome they were.
He had actually encountered a multi-race alliance before, namely that dragon, which was quite troublesome to fight.
Unexpectedly, I ran into her again today while helping my senior with a "normal plane".
"Since it's a multi-ethnic alliance..." he frowned, "why does it seem like they're enslaving those people in a vegetative state?"
Judging from Viola's perception of the Law of Pain, those vegetative beings were clearly not working voluntarily, but were being forced to collect some kind of life energy. Based on the introduction to the multi-race alliance, these guys should be a group that fanatically collects all civilizations.
"Multi-racial Union is just a general term; they just like collecting civilizations, not some kind of righteous alliance."
Viola's tone carried a hint of mockery.
"The law of the jungle prevails in this endless chaotic void. It doesn't matter if you're a multi-race alliance or not; the underlying logic is the same. Those octopus-faced creatures are most likely members of a small alliance, sent to this remote plane to collect resources. For them, enslaving the local inhabitants is perfectly normal."
After she finished speaking, she turned her gaze back from the fleet of warships to Jemin, her smile deepening. "Moreover, it seems they're quite powerful."
Her tone was light and cheerful, as if she were commenting on whether a dish was suitable for cooking.
"We can give it a try. If we're lucky, we might be able to capture a few alive and find the coordinates of their civilization's headquarters, which would be a huge profit. The coordinates of a multi-race alliance's stronghold are very valuable to an eighth-level wizard. Whether we sell them or use them to curry favor, it's quite a good deal." Viola then changed her tone, still light and casual, but she stated the cruelty in the second half of her sentence with remarkable naturalness:
"If we're unlucky and can't get rid of them quickly, we should retreat immediately. After all, those guys aren't without support. If we drag this out too long, the two of us might be stuck here."
"Even if we retreat now, the information about these guys alone can fetch a good price."
After silently considering it in his mind, Jemin thought it might be worth a try.
Whether we win or lose, this trip doesn't seem like a loss.
The premise is that they must first ascertain the other party's actual wealth and whether it is worth taking the risk.
Viola turned her head and nodded with her chin toward the dimensional barrier.
"So...you rush to the front and open the dimensional barrier."
As she spoke, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and a sly glint flashed in her eyes.
"Huh? Me?"
Jemin narrowed his eyes.
He'd known Viola for centuries, and this was basically the look on his senior's face whenever she wasn't thinking of anything good.
However, Jemin still trusted her judgment.
He knew his senior's temperament; showing this expression would at most make him suffer a little, but it wouldn't interfere with his business.
So he didn't say much, and just obediently flew forward.
The next instant, dark golden light surged out from his body.
The thousand-meter-tall true form suddenly unfolded in the void. The burly, dark golden giant stretched its shoulders, and two faces simultaneously opened three eyes, the dark golden pupils appearing cold in the void.
Immediately afterwards, the dual Dharma form condensed and took shape behind him.
A golden phantom, five hundred kilometers high, slowly rose from the void. Its outline was more solid than when it faced Shuoyuan last time, like a giant god who had truly stepped out of ancient mythology.
Faxiang raised his hands, spread his fingers, gripped the surface of the dimensional barrier tightly, and then pressed down hard!
Creak... Boom!
The sky seemed to be torn apart by this terrifying force.
The pale blue dimensional barrier emitted a sharp, mournful cry under the Dharma Image's palm. The light patterns on its surface flickered and struggled wildly, finally caved in little by little. The entire spatial structure of the plane instinctively resisted this violent oppression from the outside world, as if the entire continent was issuing a silent protest. Crack!
With a crisp, soul-piercing shattering sound, a crack appeared in the blue dimensional barrier.
The muscles in Faxiang's arms bulged high, and dark golden light seeped into the depths of the barrier through his fingers, disintegrating the power nodes within the barrier layer by layer. Cracks rapidly extended to both sides from the point of contact between his fingertips, and within a few breaths, the cracks had expanded to the size of an entire continent.
The sky looked as if a hideous wound had been torn open, stretching from one end of the horizon to the other. Large amounts of blue-white spatial arcs shot out from the edges of the wound, illuminating the half of the continent below with blinding light.
Jemin's true form flew out from the Dharma image's chest and sank down along the torn crack.
His hands gripped the sides of the crack, continuing to push the barrier outwards, and his entire upper body slowly ventured into the plane.
That handsome face emerged from the torn sky, the vertical eye between its brows calmly sweeping across the densely packed warships below, its dark golden pupils reflecting the glint of countless naval cannons.
The dimensional barrier is still struggling desperately, squeezing inward in an attempt to push the intruder out.
But the surging light patterns landed on the surface of his Void Armor without even causing a ripple.
At the same time, inside the command center of the flagship "Iron Curtain," all the tentacles of the octopus-faced creatures froze at the same instant.
On the screen in front of them, the head peeking out from the crack was larger than the entire flagship.
Dark golden vertical pupils slowly swept across their fleet formation, their gaze devoid of any emotion, as cold as if they were looking at a row of specimen jars on a shelf.
The octopus-man leader was the first to come to his senses.
His whiskers twitched more than his companions', then slammed down on the command post with a heavy thud.
"attack!"
"All personnel, tactic number three!"
As soon as the order was given, the cannons of tens of thousands of warships lit up at the same instant.
Energy beams, particle cannons, high-energy lasers... the octopus-man fleet unleashed all its available firepower, bombarding the enormous head that emerged from the crack.
Countless attack trajectories intertwined in the sky to form a stream of light hundreds of kilometers in diameter.
The air currents generated by the outer edge of the light stream even blew away the surrounding clouds.
The flagship's main gun also completed its energy charge at this moment.
A thick, dark red beam of light, mixed in with the salvo of light, blasted straight toward the center of the crack.
As this dark red beam of light flew, it continuously absorbed energy attacks from friendly forces nearby.
However, the beam of light that absorbed a large amount of energy did not change; in fact, it seemed to have become a little thinner.
next moment.
boom!!!
A deafening roar exploded across the entire plane.
Just as Jemin had half his body inside the dimensional barrier, he was struck head-on by the beam of light that combined the firepower of tens of thousands of warships. His massive true form was blasted out of the dimensional barrier!
