The Synthesis Wizard-Chapter 323:Completed and Launched!
Chapter 323 - 323:Completed and Launched!
Starlight Calendar, Year 4502, Northwest of Starlight City.
A majestic and towering city stood in the wilderness, its interior dominated by a cluster of white-themed buildings. Various spires and arched gates stood tall and straight, exuding a uniquely aesthetic charm.
If a Wizard were here, they could also feel the awe-inspiring, surging energy that enveloped the entire city.
At the top of the Central Crystal Tower, in the heart of the city.
Su Nan stood before a crystal ball, his gaze fixed on the three-dimensional model in front of him.

"It's finally complete."
Su Nan let out a long breath, a genuine smile of joy spreading across his face.
Just moments ago, the Skyborne Device had been successfully installed.
This also meant that the final project of Starlight Sky City was fully completed.
From this point on, the entire Sky City was officially built.
"Commander No. 1, scan the current buffs applied to Sky City."
[Command received. Scanning initiated.]
[Scan complete.]
[Sky City currently does not have the 'Permanent Spell' buff from the Mystic Lock Defense System activated. The only buff comes from the energy dispersion characteristics of the Elemental Furnace.]
[Within the range of Sky City, energy particle activity increases by 100%~300%. All Wizards and Wizard Apprentices with friendly markers experience a 150% increase in Divine Power recovery speed. The automatic constant metamagic techniques 'Spell Extension', 'Spell Range Increase', and 'Spell Expansion' are active. Casting speed is slightly increased, and elemental affinity is slightly enhanced.]
Looking at the statistics displayed before him, Su Nan nodded in satisfaction.
Sky City was hailed as one of the pinnacle alchemical creations of Wizard civilization, not only because of its formidable combat power but also due to its wide-ranging buff effects.
As long as one was within Sky City, the meditation and spell practice efficiency of Wizards (and apprentices) would be significantly enhanced. The closer one was to the Central Crystal Tower where the Elemental Furnace was located, the stronger the effect.
Training in such an environment naturally led to rapid progress in strength.
Sky City could accommodate hundreds of thousands of Wizards (and apprentices), greatly benefiting the development of a Wizard faction.
Su Nan's Starlight Sky City was even larger, with a population capacity of up to two to three hundred thousand. It could house a significant portion of the Star Alliance's Wizards and Wizard Apprentices, greatly accelerating the Star Alliance's ability to cultivate Wizards (and apprentices).
With a satisfied smile, Su Nan immediately issued a new command.
"Calculate the debuff effects on enemy spellcasters."
[Within the range of Sky City, enemy spellcasters experience a 30% increase in mana consumption, a 20%~30% decrease in spell power, a slight reduction in casting speed, and a slight decrease in elemental affinity. When the Magic Prohibition Domain is activated, it can seal the spellcasting abilities of spellcasters below the fourth level.]
"Not bad."
Su Nan nodded inwardly.
Without activating the Magic Prohibition Domain, the Mystic Lock Defense System's ability to weaken enemy spellcasters to this extent was already quite impressive.
Combined with the buffs for friendly spellcasters, the gap in combat power between allies and enemies would be significantly widened.
As for the effects of the Magic Prohibition Domain, they were within Su Nan's expectations.
The Magic Prohibition Domain essentially suppressed the activity of energy particles to the lowest level, rendering them nearly stagnant and impossible to mobilize. However, it was not enough to suppress Law Power, so it couldn't restrict True Spirit Wizards.
It was worth noting that the Magic Prohibition Domain was not fully activated at all times. Normally, only a portion of it was active, specifically targeting and limiting certain highly destructive spells. Once the operation of such spells was detected, the activity of energy particles in the surrounding area would be immediately sealed, halting the spell's execution.
This was also to prevent certain spells from damaging the structures of Sky City.
In the entire Sky City, only the Magic Prohibition Prison maintained the Magic Prohibition Domain in full activation at all times.
At this moment, Su Nan suddenly received a request to enter the Central Crystal Tower.
As the most important core area of Sky City, only he could freely enter and exit the Central Crystal Tower.
Without his permission, even Lize, who held a position second only to him in the Star Alliance, could not enter the Central Crystal Tower.
Soon, a figure appeared out of thin air beside Su Nan.
It was Lize.
"Is Sky City complete?"
Lize asked eagerly.
She had rushed over immediately after receiving Su Nan's message, her heart filled with anticipation.
Not every second-rate Wizard faction had the ability to build a Sky City.
For example, the Starfall Society, until its demise, had only managed to keep their Sky City plans on paper.
From the very beginning of its construction, Lize had held high expectations for Su Nan's Sky City.
Now that she heard Sky City was complete, she was naturally eager to witness it.
Su Nan smiled and nodded. "You've come at the perfect time. The energy is fully charged, and it's time to ascend."
As he spoke, Su Nan's mind stirred, and a light screen-like projection appeared before him. The image on it showed the underground area beneath Sky City.
The entire underground of the city had been excavated into a network of tunnels. Apart from the central area, which was connected to the inverted cone-shaped foundation at the bottom of Sky City, the rest of the region had been almost completely hollowed out, leaving only a few supporting stone pillars.
Thousands of Ogre Ant-men were withdrawing in an orderly manner.
It had to be said that Ogre Ant-men were excellent at digging, far more efficient than Clay Golems and Stone Golems. In just half a day, they had hollowed out most of the area beneath Sky City.
This would greatly reduce the resistance when Sky City ascended, saving a significant amount of energy.
Once the Ogre Ant-men had fully withdrawn, Su Nan issued the next command. ƒreewebɳovel.com
With a deep, rumbling sound, the entire ground shook violently.
The Elemental Furnace emitted a loud hum as it began to operate at high speed. One by one, energy nodes lit up with a faint purple glow, which quickly spread along the crystal veins toward the bottom. A massive amount of energy was rapidly transmitted through the network to the Skyborne Device.
[Activating Floating Ring No. 1. Activating Floating Ring No. 2. All Floating Rings activated.]
At the same time, outside Sky City, as energy gathered, silvery-white runes began to appear on the ground, intertwining to form massive rings with diameters of a hundred meters, covering the entire foundation of Sky City.
[Preparation complete. Ready to separate from the ground at any time.]
The mechanical, monotonous voice of the Tower Spirit Commander rang out.
Su Nan took a deep breath and issued the command in a solemn voice.
"Begin separation!"
Boom! The entire city seemed to shake! The tremendous force instantly shattered the stone pillars supporting the ground below.
Amidst the deafening roar, the land around Sky City suddenly sank downward, as if it might collapse at any moment.
Some of the edges had already completely cracked, revealing bottomless black holes. Countless rocks fell into the underground void. Centered around the numerous Floating Rings, a noticeable circular crack appeared along the edge of the land, spanning about seven to eight kilometers in diameter. The collapsing edges separated this piece of land, and amidst the continuous rumbling, it seemed as though it would immediately sink into the ground.
However, soon after, a spell light spread out, and with a soft hum, the separated land suddenly stabilized. Then, carrying the majestic and towering city, it began to rise into the sky, bit by bit.
[Activating anti-gravity energy.]
[Beginning ascent.]
As a massive shadow was cast, the separated land floated into the air, resembling a colossal floating mountain.
Rocks and soil fell from various parts of the mountain, revealing obsidian-based structural supports. Many gear-like constructs appeared on the surface.
The edges of the land continued to crack, and large, millstone-sized stones fell with heavy thuds.
However, the cluster of buildings atop the mountain remained steady under the protection of spell light, completely unaffected by the tremors.
The massive commotion quickly drew the attention of the people in Starlight City.
One by one, figures soared into the air, gazing toward the distant, enormous silhouette.
When they saw the majestic city rising into the sky, everyone's faces were filled with awe.
"That's... Sky City!"
"Incredible, the entire city and the mountain are flying!"
"Is this Sky City? It's a miracle!"
Exclamations of astonishment rang out.
Whether they were Wizard Apprentices or full-fledged Wizards, everyone was now staring in awe at the spectacle unfolding in the sky.
It was hard to imagine, without seeing it firsthand, a city spanning over twenty square kilometers floating high in the air.
In the face of the majestic Sky City, even large Wizard Towers seemed like toys.
"Such intense energy fluctuations."
Rose stared at the distant Sky City, her eyes filled with awe and amazement.
The surging energy storm that swept toward her was so overwhelming that even she, a third-level Wizard, felt somewhat suffocated.
This was the might of Sky City! Scepter and Fakado were equally awestruck.
Although they had witnessed the gradual completion of Sky City from the very beginning and were already familiar with its appearance, seeing Sky City fully built and ascending into the sky, and feeling the immense energy surge up close, they couldn't help but feel deeply moved and amazed.
This was Sky City!
The pinnacle war construct of Wizard civilization!
"From today onward, the Star Alliance has truly entered the ranks of the top factions in the Multiverse."
Scepter murmured in admiration, his tone filled with excitement and joy.
Rose and Fakado also wore expressions of deep agreement and happiness.
Having a Sky City made all the difference for a Wizard faction.
Large Wizard factions like the Wisdom Codex and the Deep Blue Alliance, which dominated the Wizard world, commanded the respect of countless races and civilizations in the Multiverse, and even stood toe-to-toe with gods, owed much of their power to their Sky Cities.
Generally, only large Wizard factions possessed Sky Cities.
Throughout the development of Wizard civilization, second-rate Wizard factions that owned their own Sky Cities were few and far between.
For example, the former Blackstone Tower and the current Myriad-Headed Bird did not have their own Sky Cities.
Historically, those second-rate Wizard factions that did possess Sky Cities had all eventually risen to become large Wizard factions.
The completion of Starlight Sky City was undoubtedly a major turning point for the Star Alliance.
With Sky City, the Star Alliance now had the potential to become a large Wizard faction.
Even if its overall strength still fell short of those large Wizard factions, it was now far ahead of the other second-rate Wizard factions.
Though still a second-rate Wizard faction, the Star Alliance's power was now in a league of its own.
As members of the Star Alliance, all the Wizards present felt a deep sense of pride at this moment.
While everyone was filled with excitement, Su Nan's attention remained entirely focused on Sky City.
As the altitude gradually increased, the mountain serving as Sky City's foundation began to show signs of instability.
Su Nan, however, was not flustered. He had prepared for this.
In an instant, the top of the Central Crystal Tower erupted with dazzling spell light. Thousands of [Transmute Mud to Rock] spells were released in quick succession, landing on the mountain.
As the spell energy spread, the soft soil gradually turned into solid rock. The cracks on the mountain's surface disappeared at a visible rate, and large areas were transformed into complete rock structures.
In just three or four breaths, the mountain quickly stabilized.
Amidst the fierce, howling winds, Sky City rose to a height of a thousand meters and came to a halt, suspended in the sky.
Inside the Central Crystal Tower, Su Nan looked at the surrounding clouds through the light screen projection, a smile of satisfaction on his lips.
The entire process had gone more smoothly than he had anticipated, with no issues arising.
With this, Sky City was truly complete! From this day forward, the Star Alliance had its very own Sky City!
Beside him, Lize's eyes also sparkled, her expression filled with barely contained joy.
The completion of Sky City undoubtedly marked a crucial step in the Star Alliance's development! From now on, even when facing those large Wizard factions, the Star Alliance would have the confidence and qualifications to stand tall!
"Today is a day worth commemorating for the Star Alliance," Lize said softly, her tone filled with emotion.
Su Nan smiled and said, "There will be many more days like this in the future. I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up with all the commemorations."
Perhaps in a good mood, Lize gave him a rare, coquettish glance and said, "Then I'll be waiting. I just hope you're not exaggerating."
Su Nan chuckled without responding.
The completion of Sky City was just the beginning. He still had to continue strengthening and upgrading Sky City.
A small Sky City was only the lowest level. Above it were medium and large Sky Cities, and even the super-large Sky Cities known as Astral Fortresses! He still had a long way to go. (End of Chapter)
