The Synthesis Wizard-Chapter 307:The Despicable Wizard
Chapter 307 - 307:The Despicable Wizard
"It's actually the Dark Throne."
Su Nan was taken aback.
He had initially thought that the entire affair was orchestrated by the Star Spirit Clock Tower, but he hadn't expected the involvement of the even more deeply hidden Dark Throne.
Now that he thought about it, not only the Crescent Moon Goddess and the Spider Queen, but even the Star Spirit Clock Tower had likely been manipulated by the Dark Throne, serving as a stepping stone for their plans.

Su Nan clicked his tongue silently.
Two major Wizard factions and two deities—he hadn't expected so many heavyweight entities to be involved in this matter.
While he marveled at the situation, for Su Nan, the current development was undoubtedly more advantageous.
He had originally thought that he wouldn't be able to play the role of the oriole this time, but now it seemed there might still be a chance.
Carefully concealing his aura, Su Nan kept his eyes fixed on the distant battle.
In the battle against the Star Spirit Clock Tower, the Spider Queen had managed to repel the enemy, but she had also expended a significant amount of energy. Now, facing the well-prepared Dark Throne, she no longer had the same composure as before.
Of course, the Dark Throne certainly hadn't expected the Spider Queen to absorb the Crescent Moon Divine Authority so quickly, repelling the Star Spirit Clock Tower with minimal cost.
The two sides were now locked in a fierce struggle, and it was still unclear who would emerge victorious.
Boom! High in the sky, the winds and clouds churned violently, echoing with deafening roars.
Fierce energy surges filled every inch of space within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, even causing the Blood River to churn with towering waves.
Countless malevolent spirits were swept into the energy currents, crushed into nothingness before they could even let out a scream.
From time to time, a battered Bone Hunter would fall into the Blood River, sending up a spray of water as it shattered into countless bone fragments.
In just half a day, more than half of the Dark Throne's Bone Hunters and wizard towers had been destroyed.
However, the Spider Queen's side had also paid a heavy price. Her Petitioners were almost completely wiped out, and the spiderwebs in the void had dimmed significantly, nearly invisible unless closely observed.
This meant that the power of her divine realm had been weakened to its limit, and it was on the verge of being expelled from the Blood Abyss.
Once she lost the support of her divine realm, the Spider Queen's power would inevitably diminish greatly.
Ssssh! Amidst the piercing sound of air being torn, a superconductor pulse ray shot into the head of the palace spider, piercing through its tail!
In an instant, the massive spider's body stiffened, cracks appearing all over its surface with a series of cracking sounds, rapidly spreading until the entire body shattered into a pile of rubble.
At the same time, the energy field surrounding the Dark Throne's sky city was torn open by the Spider Queen's dagger, and eerie purple flames quickly spread along the tear, devouring the invisible energy field in the blink of an eye.
After breaking through the defenses, the Spider Queen let out a cold laugh, her sharp fangs sliding out from the corners of her lips as she spun into the sky city like a whirlwind. Soon, the sounds of battle and the tearing of air echoed from within.
The sky city was a massive strategic fortress with both offensive and defensive capabilities. Even without the protection of its energy field, its internal defense systems were more than enough to give any enemy a hard time.
This included a vast number of golem puppets, built-in energy turrets, and even a Magic Prohibition Domain.
Especially the latter—once activated, it would prevent the manipulation of any energy particles within its range. Combined with high-level golems powered by magic crystals, it was enough to crush most enemies.
Over the long years, countless beings had underestimated the might of the sky city, thinking that breaking through its energy field would allow them to destroy it. Instead, they were met with a devastating counterattack and annihilated.
However, all of this only applied to ordinary beings.
For a deity, the Magic Prohibition Domain was utterly ineffective.
The power of Law far surpassed ordinary energy particles, and it was something the Magic Prohibition Domain could never restrict.
The chaos within the city lasted for a long time, and then two streaks of light shot into the sky. The heavens instantly darkened, as if ink had been dropped into clear water, spreading a thick, dark haze.
It even seemed to obscure the dark moon! "The Law of Darkness."
Su Nan's eyes narrowed.
Even from such a great distance, his vision could pierce through the layers of darkness, allowing him to see the two figures tearing into each other.
Aside from the Spider Queen, the other figure was a man who appeared to be in his thirties, with ordinary features and a strange black mark on his right cheek.
This appearance gave Su Nan a sense of déjà vu. After a moment of thought, he remembered that he had once encountered this man when he went to the Radiant Pavilion to purchase the Apocalypse Potion.
"A Crown Wizard of the Dark Throne," Su Nan murmured to himself.
Below the three Robed Wizards of the Dark Throne, the seven Crown Wizards held the highest status.
All seven were True Spirit Wizards, and among the best of them.
The fact that this Crown Wizard could face the Spider Queen head-on was a testament to his strength.
Not long after the Spider Queen and the Crown Wizard began their battle, the Petitioners were completely wiped out, and the spiderwebs that had covered the heavens and earth vanished, the Abyssal Demonweb quickly being expelled from the Blood Abyss.
Without the support of her divine realm, the Spider Queen quickly fell into a disadvantage.
After all, she had already fought against the Star Spirit Clock Tower, expending a great deal of energy, and breaking through the sky city's energy field had cost her even more. Facing a Crown Wizard at full strength, she naturally found it difficult to hold her ground.
At this point in the war, it was clear that the outcome was about to be decided.
Seeing this, Su Nan's eyes flickered, and he took out a communication crystal, crushing it in his palm. It transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the void.
The faint energy fluctuations caused by the communication crystal went unnoticed by the battling parties.
High in the sky, taking advantage of his upper hand, the Crown Wizard's attacks grew even more ferocious. Darkness so thick it seemed to liquefy surged from the void, pressing in on the Spider Queen from all sides, threatening to engulf her.
The dark moon at the edge of the sky appeared behind the Spider Queen, casting a cold light that resisted the encroaching darkness.
But in the face of the endless, surging darkness, the moon was like a small boat in a tsunami, seemingly on the verge of capsizing and disappearing at any moment.
Seeing this, a smug smile flickered across the Crown Wizard's face.
But at that moment, a thin strand of spider silk suddenly descended from above him.
Following the strand, a spider quickly slid down, transforming into a beautiful woman in the shifting light. She held a sharp curved blade, slashing down at the Crown Wizard's head!
Sensing the threat from behind, the Crown Wizard's expression changed drastically.
At the last moment, his body flashed with silver light, and he vanished from the spot.
But even though he reacted quickly, he couldn't completely avoid the attack.
When he reappeared, he was hundreds of meters away, with a deep, bone-exposing wound on his back.
The flesh around the wound writhed, trying to heal, but it was hindered by the black mist seeping from the injury.
The mist formed into the shapes of ferocious spider phantoms in the air, silently snarling and clawing!
The Crown Wizard glared at his attacker, his face gradually showing disbelief.
"The Crescent Moon Goddess?!"
"No, that's not right."
Sensing the lifeless aura emanating from the figure, the Crown Wizard quickly realized the truth, his eye twitching violently.
"You turned Illyria into a puppet?"
Turning a deity into a puppet wasn't particularly rare in the Wizarding World.
For example, divine body golems were high-level puppets made from the bodies of deities, surpassing even the Supreme Golem.
But turning another deity into a puppet was unheard of!
No deity would dare to do such a thing!
It would provoke the wrath of other deities, leading to a united attack against the perpetrator!
The key was that turning a deity into a puppet required retaining a portion of their divine spark as material to preserve their power.
This meant that the Spider Queen couldn't fully absorb the divine spark.
Wait!
The Crown Wizard suddenly realized something, his expression changing.
As if guessing his thoughts, the Spider Queen smiled faintly. "The Crescent Moon Divine Spark overlaps with mine in many areas. Absorbing it wouldn't increase my power, so it's better to use it to make a puppet. Waste not, want not, right?"
The Crown Wizard's face darkened completely.
As the Spider Queen had said, her Divine Authority overlapped with that of the Crescent Moon Goddess, which was why she had been able to kill the Crescent Moon Goddess so easily in the first place.
The overlapping portion of the divine spark would have had minimal effect if absorbed, so it was better used for other purposes.
He hadn't considered this possibility, but he hadn't expected the Spider Queen to use it to make a puppet.
But then again, even among the evil deities, the Spider Queen was one of the most notorious, with enemies everywhere.
Even if she did something as provocative as turning a deity into a puppet, it wouldn't make her reputation any worse—after all, it had little room to fall further.
Realizing this, the Crown Wizard's heart sank.
Originally, he had been about sixty to seventy percent confident in killing the Spider Queen, but with this puppet in play, the odds of success had become slim.
In fact, continuing the fight now carried a higher risk of him being the one to fall.
But he had prepared for this operation for a long time, investing a great deal. Giving up now would mean significant losses.
For a moment, the Crown Wizard hesitated.
Seeing the shifting expressions on his enemy's face, the Spider Queen's lips curled into a triumphant smile.
"Now it's my turn to counterattack!"
As soon as she spoke, her figure suddenly appeared to the left of the Crown Wizard, her dagger stabbing toward his head.
At the same time, the deity puppet attacked from the other side.
Caught in a pincer attack, the Crown Wizard showed little panic. With a cold snort, the darkness around him surged, forming into sharp claws that met the two attackers.
The battle erupted once more, but this time the tables had turned.
Although the deity puppet's power was slightly inferior to both the Spider Queen and the Crown Wizard, it was still a being of the same level.
Facing the combined assault of two powerful foes, even with the support of the sky city and wizard towers, the Crown Wizard inevitably fell into a disadvantage.
The first to suffer were the wizard towers.
The war constructs of the Wizarding World, feared by countless races across the Multiverse, were as fragile as toys in the hands of deities, easily destroyed with a single strike.
In just over half an hour, more than twenty wizard towers were destroyed by the Spider Queen and the deity puppet, making the Crown Wizard's eye twitch.
Fortunately, the sacrifice of these wizard towers wasn't in vain. The sky city finally seized the opportunity, using its remaining energy to fire a superconductor pulse ray that struck the deity puppet, disintegrating half of its body.
The Crown Wizard seized the opening, the Law Power of Darkness surging around him as he formed a massive hand that slammed the deity puppet down.
But at the same time, the Spider Queen's dagger appeared behind his head, silently piercing the back of his skull.
However, the moment it struck, the Crown Wizard's body suddenly disintegrated, turning into a thick, dark mass that surged back toward the Spider Queen, engulfing her in an instant.
A massive black sphere appeared high in the sky.
The surface of the sphere churned and boiled, with bubble-like protrusions constantly forming and bursting. Faint flashes of cold moonlight could be seen within.
The remaining dozen or so wizard towers ceased their attacks, and the Wizards of the Dark Throne watched the black sphere with grave expressions.
They could all see that the two combatants had entered a deadlock.
The outcome of this war was about to be decided! The battlefield fell into an eerie silence.
But this silence was soon broken! Before everyone's eyes, the black sphere suddenly exploded, the thick darkness scattering in all directions.
A figure broke through the darkness, streaking into the sky city like a meteor. Immediately, large silver vortices appeared in the void, and the massive, mountain-like city disappeared into them.
Seeing this, the Wizards of the Dark Throne knew the outcome. They sighed and began to pilot their wizard towers into the silver vortices.
The Spider Queen's figure also emerged from the darkness, her cold gaze fixed on the retreating enemies, but she did not pursue them.
She wasn't entirely confident she could stop the Dark Throne's forces.
Continuing the fight would likely result in heavy losses, even if she managed to defeat them.
Since she wasn't prepared to fight to the death, she could only let them go.
More importantly, her current state was far from ideal—in fact, it was the worst it had ever been.
Rather than chasing her enemies, it was more important to find a safe place to recover.
As the Dark Throne departed, the silver vortices vanished, and the Blood River returned to calm.
The Spider Queen's gaze swept the area, quickly locating the deity puppet floating in the Blood River.
The puppet, now reduced to half its body, bobbed in the crimson water, surrounded by malevolent spirits. These spirits were eager to feast on it, but any that dared to approach were instantly annihilated by the surging Divine Power.
Even in its damaged, powerless state, the deity puppet was not something these weak spirits could covet.
The Spider Queen waved her hand, killing the surrounding spirits, and then reached out to retrieve the puppet from the river.
But at that moment, her expression changed drastically, and she looked up sharply into the distance.
Several kilometers away, numerous spatial rifts suddenly appeared, and hundreds of wizard towers and war fortresses emerged from them.
"Treacherous Wizards!"
The Spider Queen's face turned ashen, her voice low and filled with venom. (End of Chapter)
