The Synthesis Wizard-Chapter 280: A Rare Opportunity, Strike Now!

Above the forest.

The group of wizards hovered in the air, each separated by a distance of over a thousand meters, gazing in the direction of the cave.

Only wizards from the major wizard factions involved in the search for the Toxic King's head were present. Other factions were excluded and could only watch from afar as the operation unfolded.

Naturally, Su Nan and Lize were no exception. They looked off into the distance while speaking in low voices.

"This time, the divine corpse fragments we've collected in this battle should be enough to trade with the Wisdom Codex for significant resources. This will allow us to build several medium-sized and large Witch Towers," Lize estimated, considering the potential gains from this operation.

The battle with Black Sotar had made her more acutely aware of the Star Alliance's shortcomings regarding Witch Towers. She was determined to quickly fill this gap.

This was a shared understanding between her and Su Nan.

At present, the Star Alliance earned substantial profits from the trade of secondary magic stones and regular magic stones, which were enough to support the expansion of their military and the popularization of magical energy technology.

But the construction of Witch Towers had always been slow.

One reason was the resource limitations.

The resources required to build Witch Towers were scarce, and the Wisdom Codex didn't offer them for trade, so they had to be collected over time or synthesized by Su Nan himself.

Another reason was the shortage of personnel.

The number of wizards in the Star Alliance was still insufficient.

Tasks like golem crafting, potion brewing, and magical item production all required wizards, and there were few available to focus on the construction of Witch Towers.

Of course, the Star Alliance could have had its wizards collect resources to build the towers themselves.

But that would take far too long—perhaps two or three hundred years to see any results.

The Star Alliance was at a critical point where rapid growth was essential, and they couldn't afford to wait that long.

Therefore, it was much faster to centralize all resources and build the Witch Towers under the Star Alliance's direct control.

In fact, of the eighteen Witch Towers the Star Alliance currently owned, only the Starlight Witch Tower had been built by them; the remaining seventeen had been captured from enemies.

Had the risks not been too great, Su Nan might have considered engaging with other wizard factions in battles to capture even more Witch Towers.

Currently, the Witch Towers of the Star Alliance were still under construction.

At that moment, Su Nan suddenly sensed someone approaching. Turning his head, he saw two figures flying toward them.

One of them was a familiar face.

It was Bryce, whom he had met previously at the Starry Tower in the City of All Things. He was affiliated with the Ten Thousand Birds, an organization also part of the Wisdom Codex's affiliates, just like the Star Alliance.

"Lord Su Nan, long time no see."

With a broad smile, Bryce greeted him before introducing the person beside him.

"This is Lord Gavin, the leader of our Ten Thousand Birds' operation this time."

"It's an honor, Lord Su Nan," Gavin smiled and nodded at Su Nan, his gaze carrying a hint of scrutiny and curiosity.

Su Nan smiled and returned the gesture.

According to the intelligence Cyril had provided, the leader of Ten Thousand Birds for this operation was also a True Spirit descendant named Gavin, which confirmed that the person before him was indeed Gavin.

"Black Sotar's brutal actions have cost many of our Ten Thousand Birds' wizards their lives at the hands of those dark wizards. Lord Su Nan, you've caused Black Sotar to suffer a huge blow this time. It's truly satisfying!" Gavin said with a hearty laugh.

Su Nan understood now why Gavin had approached him—he was here to express his gratitude.

It seemed that Ten Thousand Birds had a deep grudge against Black Sotar.

"We were only retaliating," Su Nan said with a faint smile.

"Regardless, defeating the army led by Elliot, Lord Su Nan, has certainly shocked many," Gavin continued, complimenting him further.

After a few more pleasantries, Gavin's tone shifted.

"However, Black Sotar is known for holding grudges. Given that the Star Alliance has dealt them such a severe blow, they won't let it slide easily."

Su Nan's gaze flickered slightly. "Does Lord Gavin think Black Sotar will initiate open conflict?"

"We're backed by the Wisdom Codex, so Black Sotar won't dare start an open war," Gavin replied meaningfully. "However, underhanded tactics are unavoidable. We'd prefer to avoid unnecessary risks, but if the Star Alliance and Black Sotar do come to blows, Ten Thousand Birds would be more than happy to offer assistance."

Su Nan gave Gavin a deep look. So they wanted to ally with the Star Alliance against Black Sotar.

This was actually good news for the Star Alliance.

Outside the Earth Crystal Dimension, the Star Alliance still had a considerable gap in strength compared to top-tier second-rate wizard factions like Black Sotar. An alliance with Ten Thousand Birds would reduce the pressure of facing Black Sotar directly.

"Then I will gladly accept your offer," Su Nan said.

Upon hearing his agreement, Gavin's smile deepened.

"As allies on the same front, mutual support is only natural."

With the cooperation agreement in place, the mood between the two sides became even friendlier, and their conversation grew more relaxed.

Just then, an intense burst of energy particles erupted in the distance!

Instantly, all four turned their heads to look toward the source of the disturbance.

"What immense divine energy!" Gavin's eyes flashed with surprise.

"Is it a divine creature?" Bryce asked, puzzled.

Su Nan shook his head, his expression growing serious. "No divine creature could produce this level of divine energy."

Even he, upon sensing the divine energy, felt a chill run down his spine.

"Right," Gavin agreed with Su Nan's assessment. "That is definitely not a divine creature."

As a level-three crystallized wizard, Gavin could feel the strength and terrifying nature of the divine energy even more keenly.

Perhaps a divine creature could reach this level, but it wouldn't appear in the Earth Crystal Dimension at this time.

Something had happened at the cave!

Following the eruption of divine energy, another surge of over a hundred powerful energy fluctuations erupted from the cave direction.

It was clear that the wizards involved in the operation had launched their attacks.

However, to Su Nan and the others' shock, within a moment, at least seven or eight of these energy waves completely vanished!

Su Nan and Gavin exchanged glances, and their expressions became grim.

It was evident that in just that split second, at least seven or eight wizards had suffered serious injuries or even died.

Considering that the weakest wizards participating in the operation were level-two, and there were even several third-level True Spirit descendants, the sheer scale of casualties in such a short time was unimaginable!

Su Nan took a deep breath, knowing his suspicions had been confirmed.

Without hesitation, he turned to Lize. "Order the army to withdraw, and the farther the better. Once we detect the dimensional blockade being lifted, open the dimensional portal and leave the Earth Crystal Dimension immediately!"

Lize was slightly taken aback, but she quickly understood and nodded solemnly.

"I understand!"

Recalling Su Nan's previous actions, she realized that he might have anticipated such an event happening all along.

Once again, Su Nan proved his foresight, and without a shred of doubt, she fully supported his command.

Lize swiftly turned and headed back to the temporary Star Alliance base to carry out the evacuation order.

Gavin and Bryce exchanged puzzled glances.

Clearly, something unexpected had happened at the cave, but the forest was currently filled with armies from over ten wizard factions.

With millions of troops and thousands of wizards, there was no way any surprise could overpower them, unless a True Spirit Wizard was involved.

The urgency of the evacuation seemed overblown.

However, Su Nan paid no attention to their confused expressions. His gaze remained fixed on the cave.

He was now certain that some kind of incident had occurred in the final stages of the struggle.

And this incident, which had the potential to ignite a wizard civil war, was likely extremely dangerous.

The fact that several energy fluctuations had vanished in an instant only confirmed this.

But he was curious—what exactly had happened?

Just as he was contemplating, the situation in the distance changed again.

Numerous figures shot up into the air, fleeing in all directions.

Behind them, thick green mist surged upward, forming shapes of beast mouths and claws that quickly rushed toward the fleeing figures!

"What is that?" Gavin and Bryce furrowed their brows as they watched the trees around them wither instantly upon contact with the green mist, turning to ash.

"Roar!"

With a deafening roar, a tall, fierce figure shot out from the mist, flashing in an instant to appear behind a wizard and striking with its claws!

Slash!

The moment the claws hit, the wizard's body was briefly surrounded by multicolored magical light, and layers of protection formed.

But in the blink of an eye, all the protections shattered, and the claws pierced deeply into the wizard's body.

The wizard let out a brief scream before instantly melting into a puddle of slime!

"What kind of monster is that?" Gavin asked, his face pale.

He recognized the wizard—it was a level-three liquefaction wizard from the Savage Spirits faction. Yet, in the face of that monster, he couldn't even survive a single strike!

What was that creature?

Realizing the situation was dire, Gavin didn't hesitate. He spoke to Su Nan before quickly leading Bryce back to the temporary base.

The monster moved through the air in a blur, killing over ten wizards in the blink of an eye.

These wizards, powerful enough to conquer weaker dimensions, were like ants before the monster, easily crushed as if they were nothing.

"That monster..." Su Nan watched from a distance, his expression shifting.

The creature exuded intense divine energy, yet it was utterly different from any divine creature he had encountered before—it carried a profoundly evil aura!

It was like a divine abomination!

Su Nan suddenly realized, his mind flashing with vague memories.

Though the creature's form was different, its aura was strikingly similar to that of a divine abomination.

No wonder Ronin, Boben, and the others had fled in panic. Even the weakest of divine abominations could overwhelm second- or third-level wizards!

"This divine abomination must have been born from the Toxic King's head as the origin."

Su Nan, who knew much about divine abominations, immediately deduced its origin.

But with that realization came new questions.

Besides the origin, the birth of a divine abomination also required a massive energy source to fuel its mutation.

This energy source was far more powerful than anything that could be found in the Earth Crystal Dimension.

In fact, it surpassed even the elemental furnaces of the floating cities.

Su Nan quickly recalled that there were only a few such energy sources in the universe.

The Starborne Singularity, the Eternal Crystal Core, the Source of the Abyss, and the Source of the Laws!

The first few options were impossible in the Earth Crystal Dimension, so the only remaining answer was—

The Source of the Laws!

At that moment, Su Nan's breath quickened.

The Source of the Laws, simply put, was the point where the power of the laws converged.

Once a dimension developed a Source of the Laws, it would gradually transform into a main dimension, giving birth to multiple sub-dimensions, eventually forming a dimension cluster.

Because of this, the Source of the Laws was often seen as the embryo of a dimension cluster.

Su Nan never expected that the Earth Crystal Dimension would harbor a Source of the Laws.

And now he understood why this event had escalated into a wizard civil war.

The Earth Crystal Dimension's potential to become a dimension cluster made it incredibly valuable.

From the moment the Source of the Laws was discovered, the Earth Crystal Dimension had become a coveted prize. All the top wizard factions would stop at nothing to claim it.

Taking control of the Earth Crystal Dimension would allow a wizard faction to eventually obtain a dimension cluster.

This was an irresistible temptation for any wizard faction!

Perhaps it was this battle for ownership of the Earth Crystal Dimension that had ignited the civil war among the wizard factions.

But if it were just that, Su Nan would have merely observed from the sidelines and taken advantage of the forthcoming civil war to reap benefits.

What truly excited him, however, was the Source of the Laws.

It was the convergence of the power of laws, containing vast amounts of primordial law energy.

Being close to it would significantly improve one's understanding and mastery of the laws.

Even for a True Spirit Wizard, it would have an immense effect!

For third-level wizards, simply getting close to the Source of the Laws could greatly enhance their mental clarity.

Even better, if Su Nan could extract a fragment of this primordial law energy and store it until he broke through to level-three crystallization, it would drastically shorten the time needed to understand the power of the laws.

As for whether this would harm the source of the laws... Su Nan didn't care.

"The True Spirit Wizards outside will soon learn about what's happening here. Once they know about the Source of the Laws, the fight for the Earth Crystal Dimension will become irrelevant. They will definitely intervene as soon as possible."

"Breaking the dimensional blockade will take some time. I don't have much time left. If I'm going to act, it has to be now!"

Su Nan's eyes locked on the direction of the battle. The wizards from the Deep Blue Alliance, Star Spirit Be

ll Tower, and Dark Throne were already closing in on the divine abomination, preparing to attack.

Seeing that neither side could spare attention for anything else, Su Nan's gaze sharpened, and he quickly made up his mind.

This was a rare opportunity—strike now!
