Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 734

Chapter 731 The Silent Holy Grail, Champion!

Under the light of the Evolution Moon, the Perfect Tree displayed both water and fire attributes. Its oak leaves were silver-blue, its bark orange-red and scaly, its veins shimmering like electrical circuits, and its roots exuded the scent of sulfur.

This magnificent Perfect Tree Treant unleashed the “Return of All Things to the Tree” spell upon the entire Silent Plane. In an instant, the entire Silent Plane seemed to transform from a flood into a drought, with not a single drop of water remaining.

Because the Perfect Tree was incorporated into Locke’s ecological community, the magical pressure of Locke’s Evolution Moon surged, and the Perfect Tree, in turn, incorporated the Evolution Moon into its ecological community, causing its magical pressure to rise as well.

This resulted in two extremely powerful spells mutually constituting ecological communities, creating a chain reaction.

The magical pressure of the entire Silent Plane began to rise.

At this moment, the Silent Plane fell into a peculiar state, alternating between light and darkness.

This state was entirely due to the combination of two immense magical spells, each amplifying the other’s magical pressure. This increased the overall magical pressure of the Silent Dimension, forcibly suppressing the arrival of the disc-shaped creatures.

The entire world alternated between absolute darkness from the arrival of Omega and the radiance of the Tree of Perfection and the Moon of Evolution.

It was as if Edgar and Locke, using their immense magical spells, were blocking the two dimensions, forcibly preventing them from colliding and causing an apocalypse!

In a city within the Silent Dimension, a little girl looked up at the light in the sky with fear and curiosity. She looked at her mother beside her and asked, “Mommy, I’m afraid of the dark. Will the rain stop? Will the light last forever?”

Her mother didn’t answer, because at that moment, a strange blue light appeared in her retina.

At that moment, the Tree of Perfection cracked.

Edgar looked at Locke and said, “Let’s seize this only opportunity and find out why the disc-shaped creatures were able to arrive so quickly.”

Locke nodded.

Their immense magical spells were now positioned between the two dimensions, and both were under immense pressure every moment.

Omega’s blue halo appeared before the two, clearly not expecting that they had temporarily averted the apocalypse through their interdependent ecosystem of immense magic.

It was somewhat exasperated.

“No matter what you do, it’s like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; no one can stop the apocalypse!”

“Your efforts are futile!”

“The apocalypse will inevitably come!”

The two ignored Omega’s exasperation and began examining the Silent Dimension.

Edgar first examined Omega’s energy flow, while Locke flew into the capital to examine those with strange blue halos on their retinas.

Locke snapped his fingers, summoning the Legendary History Book, attempting to use archaeological magic to find the reason for Omega’s rapid arrival.

However, after about half an hour, he found nothing.

At this moment, of the two immense spells, Edgar’s Perfect Tree was the first to give way; with a ‘crack,’ a branch of the Perfect Tree fell from the sky and crashed to the ground.

Inside the church, Omega’s eerie blue light appeared on the retinas of these humans; it laughed heartily, extremely pleased with itself.

“Lock Augustine, stop looking. This plane belongs to me.”

“You can’t find it.”

“Hahaha… Even the Silent Witch couldn’t find it back then, and you think you can? Hahahaha… Disc creatures are consistent across all timelines, so I’ve always had the memories of that time, and I’ve always had your memories. For countless years, countless wizards have died in the apocalypse I brought, without exception.” A

strange blue halo rose into the air.

On the other side, Edgar appeared at the top of the Perfect Tree’s canopy, his face pale. The Perfect Tree’s structure seemed even more fragile than the Moon of Evolution.

This was to be expected.

Locke’s Moon of Evolution was too much like the moon, and his Moon of Evolution had a world-class magic realm as support.

Therefore, Edgar was the first of the two to give way.

At this moment, Edgar felt the Perfect Tree finally reaching its limit under the gravitational pull of the two planes.

A blue halo appeared before him, bewitching him: “Edgar, give up. You’re the most resilient wizard I’ve ever seen. But the end of the world is inevitable, and you won’t find a single weakness in me. I come and go without a trace, hahahaha…”

Edgar was manipulating the roots of the Tree of Perfection to spread throughout the Silent Plane, trying to find the source of Omega’s energy intrusion, but he found nothing. Everything

seemed perfectly normal.

Omega’s power was external.

There wasn’t a trace of his power within the Silent Plane.

Edgar used a botanical spell to disperse the blue halo in front of him, and after dissipating, the blue halo reformed and reappeared beside Edgar.

“Edgar, don’t waste your time. Your efforts are all in vain, hahahaha…”

At the same time, a branch of the Tree of Perfection broke off again, and then, as if a chain reaction had occurred, the Tree of Perfection collapsed in a chain reaction.

Edgar gritted his teeth and persevered; he was powerless to do anything else but maintain the existence of the Tree of Perfection.

“Damn it. Those rotten disc-shaped creatures, am I going to be defeated by such disgusting things?”

Edgar tried his best to buy Locke time. “Locke, what have you found over there?”

Meanwhile, in the capital, inside the church.

Locke looked up and suddenly looked at Omega, asking a question.

“There’s a question I’ve wanted to ask you for the past half hour. The first time we met, you successfully influenced me, making your blue light appear on me, even trying to assimilate me.”

“Back then, you could do it so easily. But why, in the past half hour, have you not tried to appear on me even once, and… only on those mortals in the church?”

Omega’s laughter stopped abruptly, as if someone had suddenly grabbed his throat.

Locke lowered his eyes.

“Your mockery reminds me of a possibility. In such a short time, you’ve lost your influence over me, and can no longer assimilate with me.”

“Assimilation is a deception, isn’t it, Omega?”

“I’ve completely forgotten to try something.”

Locke, using his access to the Dharma Realm’s gate, closed the gate leading to it.

At the same time, the torrential rain that had been pouring down across the entire Dharma Realm suddenly stopped completely.

Omega’s abilities were utterly incapable of invading the Dharma Realm.

The audience on the Silent Throne was completely bewildered.

Just moments before, Locke had closed the Dharma Realm’s gates, but Omega had ignored them, allowing the Fallen Rain Realm’s plane to descend upon the Dharma Realm.

This had led the audience to believe that closing the Dharma Realm was pointless.

Meanwhile, the seven Sun Ring Judges involuntarily leaned forward, eager to see what was happening.

Within the Silent Plane, Locke closed the Dharma Realm’s gates, severing Omega’s power to invade.

He suddenly remembered something, quickly turning towards the mental network he had abandoned near the capital, reciting a spell to open its access space. Just as he was about to enter, he found himself blocked by some force.

Locke frowned, wielding the Sea Gold Sand, and tried to attack, but failed.

He immediately thought of the Duke of Westminster. “Could it be that you, Emperor, were behind this?”

Locke used the shadow grass left on the Emperor to quickly fly to his side. The Emperor sat in the Imperial Hall, head tilted back, his neck slit.

He seemed extremely shocked; his pupils dilated in a horrified expression before he died.

Locke looked at the Emperor and said, “The Grand Duke of Westminster is dead.”

Omega seemed frightened; its phantom stopped appearing, fearing that its conversation with Locke would reveal the problem again.

Locke’s insight was too powerful; in just a few words, he had grasped the crux of the matter.

At this moment, Omega even felt regret.

It had been too complacent.

If it hadn’t constantly mocked Locke, perhaps he wouldn’t have noticed that it had lost its ability to ‘assimilate’ Locke.

Locke looked at the Emperor’s corpse. Clearly, the Emperor had fought someone before his death, and in this plane, besides the four contestants, only the disc-shaped creature Omega could have killed him.

The Emperor must have been fighting Omega before his death.

Locke’s sea gold sand transformed into a golden fern spear, which he then reversed and shot towards the mental network.

If that was the case, the only possible source of the problem wasn’t anywhere in the Silent Dimension, but within the mental network itself.

Locke suddenly realized the truth of the matter.

The golden fern spear concentrated all its energy and then shot towards the mental network on the outskirts of the capital like a streak of lightning.

Was it too late?

‘Bang!’

A sound like the sky collapsing was heard. The entire Tree of Perfection, from top to bottom, was crushed, and Locke’s Moon of Evolution also collapsed due to the Tree of Perfection’s structure, instantly bearing double the pressure of the plane and splitting in two.

Omega’s triumphant voice rang out, and he laughed heartily.

“Hahaha… The end of the world has officially arrived. Wizards, the game is over. Silent Plane, how many times have I devoured you? Hahahaha…”

Edgar’s face was pale. Before he could even speak, his saintly avatar was utterly destroyed by the destruction of his true form, the Tree of Perfection.

In a normal world, he would have been reduced to nothing.

At that moment, he vanished from the Silent Plane.

The next instant, he fell from beneath the Silent Throne.

The Silent Plane instantly went completely dark,

as if a lamp had been extinguished in an instant.

In the instant the end of the world arrived, the tree collapsed, the Moon of Evolution split in two, and both contestants suffered a tremendous impact.

The entire scene on the Silent Throne turned completely dark.

Nothing else was visible in the scene.

The wizarding audience fell silent.

Just moments before, they had thought a miracle was on the horizon, but after Locke and Edgar had stalled for half an hour, the apocalypse still arrived as expected.

This left a faint sense of sadness and regret among the wizarding audience.

Wizard Rush sighed and silently looked towards where Edgar had appeared. “Edgar, that’s enough. You’ve done your best. Every Silent Grail War inevitably brings about the apocalypse to the Silent Dimension; no one can stop it.”

From the Golden Crown Mountain region, the Sun Ring Wizard, a member of the Academic Committee, frowned.

The audience murmured amongst themselves.

“The end of the world finally arrived in an instant. The entire world seemed to be swallowed up in a flash. But with that, the competition is over, and the first and second place winners have been determined.”

“Yes, this competition was very exciting, truly worth the trip.”

At this moment, many wizards in the audience area were preparing to stand up, pack their things, and leave, but suddenly someone shouted, “Wait… in that Silent Plane, it seems like a ray of moonlight is rising…”

The wizard audience all looked up in surprise.

In the boundless darkness of the Silent Plane, a ray of moonlight suddenly rose, as if it were the beginning of chaos, as if the world was being reborn.

A crescent moon hung above the dark earth.

All things were dark, except for the bright moonlight.

On this vast dark earth, only a ray of moonlight shone on people’s hearts.

Inside the Mind Network Authority Space, Locke looked at Haijinsha, who had transformed into a heart-shaped leaf and entered the gametophyte state. When he attacked the Mind Network Authority Space earlier, he suddenly realized something.

That was, what restricted his access to the Mind Network Authority Space was his own magical pressure.

In other words, the newly appeared magical seal on the Mind Network’s access space is very primitive, identified by a person’s magical pressure.

He could enter by actively lowering his magical pressure.

Therefore, when he activated the botanical magic “Generational Alternation,” which transformed the Sea Gold Sand from a spore to a gamete, his own magical pressure, as the Sea Gold Sand’s master, could also decrease—

like a period of dormancy.

This allowed him to enter the Mind Network’s access space at the most dangerous moment.

The moment Locke entered the Mind Network’s access space, he understood everything.

Locke looked up at the spiritual entities connected to the Emperor’s chess piece.

‘Because I linked the Emperor’s chess piece with the spiritual entities of all intelligent life in the Silent Plane, I indirectly strengthened the Mind Network’s resilience. The arrival of the apocalypse was indirectly slowed down by my action. Otherwise, even with Edgar and I forming a mutually supportive ecological community, it wouldn’t have been possible to prevent the apocalypse from happening for half an hour.’

Locke stepped onto the Mind Chessboard. “Now I finally understand what you’ve been up to, Omega.”

“Come out, I know you can manifest here.”

Locke sneered at the lack of response and stomped his foot on the chessboard. “A chessboard must have two sides, right?”

At that moment, the mental chessboard, the foundation of the mental network, suddenly flipped, as if the heavens and earth were turning upside down.

Then, the world reversed, and the top and bottom reversed.

On the other side of the mental chessboard, there was another chessboard, and this chessboard was also crisscrossed, with the squares forming a network.

This was a dark mental network.

Within this dark mental network, points of light appeared on the chessboard. Each of those blue points of light was the light of the minds of mortals from the Silent Dimension.

However, these mortals seemed to be blinded at this moment, all drowsy and captured by the dark mental network, falling into a deep sleep.

Locke chuckled, “The abilities of disc-shaped creatures cannot possibly assimilate with the soul. You don’t have that ability. Therefore, the essence of your ‘assimilation’ ability is that the Mind School’s great magic captures the minds of mortals and forcibly incorporates them into the Mind Network.”

“In other words, your power and the Mind Network are essentially identical.”

A blue ring appeared before Locke.

Locke coldly said, “The reason you could influence me when we first met was because I was in control of the Mind Network at the time.”

“Your power could easily enter the Dharma Realm when I closed the gates, because I was the master of the Mind Network then. Therefore, you bypassed the gates and easily entered my other power, the Dharma Realm, through the Mind Network.”

“You could have killed me then using that. Because I didn’t even realize the Mind Network was your territory, Omega. Just like when you killed the Duke of Westminster and the wizard Zorro.” “Am I right

?”

“But you wanted me and Edgar to wear each other down, so you didn’t attack me, allowing me to act freely. But you didn’t anticipate one thing: first, I would voluntarily relinquish the Mind Network. And after that, you actually lost all power to interfere with the Dharma Realm.”

“But at that time, I opened the gates to the Dharma Realm, so your power descended through those gates.”

“Secondly, you can no longer plot against me. And what you didn’t expect was that Edgar and I not only didn’t choose to fight each other, but instead chose to make a deal, forming an ecosystem with our two great magic powers, buying me the crucial half hour to find your existence.”

At this moment, the blue halo emanating from Omega remained silent.

Locke smiled. “The final point is, why can you control the Mind Network? It’s simple. When the wizard Zorro Rick created the Mind Network, due to a lack of resources, he used that meteorite as the foundation. At the same time, he… also used a part of ‘you.’”

Omega finally couldn’t hold back any longer. “How do you know that?”

Locke said, “From all the existing clues. And proving this is a piece of cake for a second-circle archaeology wizard.”

Locke snapped his fingers, a full moon appeared, and then he used the second-circle spell [Historical Replay].

Because of the existence of the Legendary History Book, Historical Replay was naturally imbued with great magic runes.

It was the fourth second-circle spell used to construct the Evolutionary Moon.

Currently, the Evolution Moon has inserted five second-circle spell models: Fiery Tree and Silver Flowers, Moon Goddess’s Blessing, Generational Change, and Historical Replay, as well as Peach Blossom Arrow and Thorn Arrow.

These five second-circle spell models, like patches, have enhanced certain abilities of the Evolution Moon.

And now, under the effect of Historical Replay, the truth about the Silent Plane has finally surfaced.

A meteorite appeared in the void, the very spark of civilization scattered by wizards of the Enlightenment era. After countless ages, this spark was finally captured by the gravity of the Silent Plane and

pulled into it .

However… a disc-shaped creature, Omega’s avatar, also discovered this spark at that moment. Impatient and indiscriminate, the avatar… crashed headlong into it.

‘Bang!’

With a devastating impact, the meteorite and Omega’s avatar, chasing its tail, descended upon the Silent Plane, colliding violently.

The meteorite embedded itself in the Silent Plane’s underground, awaiting discovery by its intelligent life forms in future generations.

Omega’s avatar, however, fell unconscious.

Thus, Omega’s avatar was directly severed from its main body, preventing the main body from arriving in time.

It had no way of knowing the avatar’s exact location!

After the clone fell into a coma—a coma that lasted quite a while—its body was eventually covered by the earth, buried deep within. Then

, it was unearthed and, as a fossil, displayed everywhere by the people of the Silent Plane as a rare artifact.

Later, the Silent Plane’s sorcerer, Zuo Luo, found it. Zuo Luo wanted to create a mental network, but the powerful magic of the Mind School required a large amount of neural material from advanced organisms.

Extremely lacking resources, Zuo Luo focused his attention on the fossil.

He placed his palm on the fossil and said, “What good luck. This is actually the body material of an advanced magical creature, perhaps accidentally dropped into this world from beyond the void. I’ll use it and the meteorite as the foundation of my mental network.”

The scene ends.

Locke looked at Omega and said, “So, you didn’t come here to invade the Silent Dimension at all. At least the first time you invaded the Silent Dimension, it was for your clone. Until later, this world was sealed by the Silent Witch, and later it was transformed into an arena.”

“Time and time again, Omega, you always just missed your clone.”

“Omega, you’ve never been whole.”

At this moment, the blue halo that Omega had transformed into was strangely boiling, as if gas was being boiled. Although it was a halo, it looked like boiling water, with many light bubbles appearing. “You wizards have ruined me!”

“Damn wizards, the Silent Witch didn’t discover the truth, so she couldn’t have stopped me back then. A part of my body was already in the Silent Plane. My power can bypass the crystal wall system to descend, but my main body’s power has never descended at all. My main body is still outside this world!”

“But my clone is right here.”

“Back then, I was only one step away from retrieving my clone, and also destroying another plane. But you damned wizards, you stopped me! Time and time again!”

“Now you’ve discovered the truth.”

Locke said, “So, when you said the end of the world was unstoppable, you were lying to us. In fact, the way you invaded this world was by using the mental network to pull the minds of life forms from the Silent Plane into your dark mental network. You killed the Emperor by invading the mental network without his knowledge.

“But now, I only need to merge the two mental networks to break your control over the dark mental network. And the other mental network is incredibly stable because I connected everyone’s spirituality to the Emperor’s pawn. In fact, I can merge the mental networks with just a simple operation.” “

The apocalypse will be forcibly terminated because the conditions for its arrival are not met. Your true form has never even approached…this place. It was your clone that initiated the apocalypse!”

“But your clone is essentially sealed within the psychic network, so as long as you release your control over the psychic dark network, the apocalypse will pause!”

Locke suddenly understood.

“No wonder you were so enraged back then that you killed the Duke of Westminster and forcibly brought about the apocalypse. Because the moment I transferred the master of the psychic network to everyone in the Silent Dimension, you knew that I could easily merge the two psychic networks.”

“So, that’s why you took such a desperate gamble.”

Locke snapped his fingers. “Well then, Omega, goodbye.” “

Omega said, ‘No!'”

Beneath the Silent Throne, Edgar turned back unwillingly, only to see not the destroyed Silent Plane, but Omega’s phantom above it suddenly vanish.

The entire Silent Plane miraculously returned to its original state.

The apocalypse… had disappeared.

Edgar looked puzzled, his left eye narrowing and his right eye widening, revealing a comical expression. “What happened? Where’s the apocalypse?”
