As the king of the Steelmane Kingdom completely gave up his resistance, he chose to join the "Utopia" after learning what the members of the "Utopia" organization were doing and the shackles buried in the orcs' bodies.
His soul passed through the network that spread as the orcs of the Blood Fang Empire moved forward, and merged into the mental assembly. His body lost control and went limp. Relying only on the instinct of the body, he sat steadily against the wall. superior.
"Increase the coverage of the node, get more souls to join, and create an existence with enough power, so that the next node can be struck down later."
The orc Barsaka said to himself, as the Steelmane Empire was completely incorporated into the command area of the "Utopia" forces at this moment, all the surrounding orc kingdoms have been controlled by them, and the intelligent creatures within these areas have also been or Either voluntarily or by force, they merge into the ever-increasing mental network.
"Boom!"
A deafening roar sounded from the outside world. Within the borders of the Steel Mane Kingdom, buildings similar to the towers that first appeared in the Blood Fang Empire tore apart the earth, breaking through the boundaries from the void and appearing in the material world. Within, the power covering the Blood Fang Empire will extend here.
"Magic, witchcraft, is this what it is? The violent and tribal inheritance methods have really caused the orcs to lose too many things over the years. We want to make intelligent creatures understand each other, even if they are of the same race. , it would be absolutely impossible without using this form.”
The steel-maned king sitting on the wall opened his eyes. As those powers covered this place, his consciousness was able to control his body again, and in his consciousness, there were already more people from that huge mental collective. A wealth of information and knowledge about magic and witchcraft.
"Then I need to spend some time preparing to obtain the second node on the Ash Wasteland. The ruins there do not belong to any intelligent race. It is much easier to obtain than the other remaining nodes located within the borders of the intelligent race. I leave the defense here to you."
Barsaka's projection and the Steelmane King who returned to his body talked about the subsequent arrangements. At the same time, the other surrounding kingdoms that had recently been conquered by him were also having the same conversation. These "voluntarily" joined The kings of the "Utopia" organization took on the task of dealing with the joint investigation team of intelligent races that was about to arrive around the current sphere of influence of the "Utopia".
"I will distribute the power of the nodes to you evenly. If you use it reasonably, there will be no problem. They will not have a chance to resist."
After Basaka finished his last words, the projection immediately disappeared in front of these kings.
"Understood, I will not let these enemies invade our kingdom."
Firm and similar responses came from those kings who were on a mission.
Outside the sphere of influence of the "Utopia" centered on the Bloodfang Empire, a team of mixed intelligent races was approaching.
"From a purely visual observation point of view, there haven't been many changes, except for those high towers, which are all things that appeared after the recent mutation."
A human knight stood on the top of a hill about twenty kilometers away from the sphere of influence of the "Utopia" organization with a magic observation goggle, looking at the situation in the orc kingdom over there, and comparing it with the images left by the caravans that passed by before. After comparison, the only extra things are the towers.
"Currently, we can already feel the changes in the surrounding void environment, but the distance is still too far. We need to get closer to conduct more detailed observations."
The wizards in the team are releasing their mental power at this moment, observing the surrounding environment with their souls. They can feel that the void energy around them is flowing, converging from all directions towards the sphere of influence of the "Utopia". In that area A special area is formed within it.
"If you get any closer, you need to take a certain risk. Do you remember those rioting entities that appeared in our kingdom? Their minds have been distorted by the temporarily uncertain existence."
"Without the spiritual protection of a wizard, if you enter a certain area of this area that may be the base camp of these existences, you are likely to suffer mental attacks and mentally distorted wisdom.
Biological attacks, in addition to the special environment, can we also collect some useful information in this range? "
After observing the situation in the "Utopia", a female elf knight was very cautious about approaching the past. She was sent to join this team after quelling some of the riots in the elf kingdom. The elf She still remembers the mental test results of those rioting wizards.
"Bethenny, it's true as you said. It will be quite dangerous to move forward. The void energy gathered in the past seems to have changed the environment there. The void and the material world overlap. This should only be possible in the void. It only appears near cracks. If the other party can take advantage of this special environment, it may not be a good thing for us."
A human wizard confirmed the statement of the female elf knight named Bethany and shared the additional information collected at this distance with the surrounding companions.
"Currently, the number of our wizards should be enough to provide spiritual shelter for other beings. Our task is to collect more information. In other words, if we stop at this distance, what will we do? It’s almost meaningless.”
The human knight expressed his opinion before. The mission of their small army, which is not too large, is to collect enough information as an investigation team and feed back the situation of the mutated orc country to the intelligent races.
And because the void was the first to observe the change, there were enough wizards from various races in the team, and it was possible to provide mental protection for all beings.
"I agree with Lorian's statement, let's move on."
A dwarf mage wearing a mage's robe raised his hand to express his approval of the statement of the human knight named Lorian, Nicholas Bronzebeard, the leader of the dwarf team this time.
"Yeah, I agree."
Bethany also nodded in agreement, and the three leaders of their respective teams reached a consensus, and the team chose to proceed cautiously.
The concealment spell cast by the mage protects the team at all times, making their whereabouts difficult to detect using pure vision or ordinary detection methods, and they move towards the target at a smooth and rapid speed.
The power of the "Utopia" in the field of vision enlarges as the distance approaches, more details are presented in these people's eyes, and the wizard can feel more differences from the surrounding environment.
"What the hell is this..."
This is the same thought in the minds of the wizards in the team. In their perception, a huge existence gradually appears, in the area where the "Utopia" is located, and the flow of void energy around it As if there was life, it transformed from the original mechanical gathering into the unconscious creeping of that existence.
"Has the spiritual asylum been touched?"
"No, everything is normal. Only the concentration of void energy is rising in the surrounding area. Then, you should also be able to feel that the integration of void and material world has become more obvious and closer."
The wizards communicated with each other and confirmed from each other that there was no problem with their perceptions. These unique discoveries were indeed not the same as their past experiences.
"Let us know if you have any questions."
Lorian looked back and reminded the wizards that the key this time is these wizards. They analyze the environment and record information. The role of knights and mages is actually more inclined to provide shelter for these wizards.
"clear."
The wizards responded and continued to observe and analyze the surrounding changes attentively.
But what they don't know is that even if they use a series of spells and witchcraft to conceal their whereabouts, and achieve concealment on the material level and the ordinary wizard level, their actions are quite obvious on the macro level. .
In many cases, shielding can only be effective for beings with a limited range of perception. For a huge whole that can observe a sufficient range and know what originally exists within the range due to the aggregation of consciousness, new beings entering the range will become very conspicuous. , even if they try to hide, the stirred void energy fluctuations cannot be completely hidden.
distance
The distance gradually shortened to within ten kilometers. When they arrived here, the wizards could already feel enough things, which also made them shocked and incredible.
"This shouldn't be the case. Such a strong void energy is expected to increase as we move forward. This area should have fallen into the void long ago."
The wizards stopped at this moment. Even though there had been no changes in the surroundings and the mental protection set up in advance had not been touched, the strangeness of the surrounding environment still made them feel uneasy.
The void energy in the environment has completely exceeded the threshold. Just like what Wang Yu and Aviya once encountered at Stevenson Magic Academy, too high a concentration of void energy appears in the material world and will bring the surrounding environment with it. Things fall into the void.
But at this moment, the void energy concentration in the surrounding environment has reached a level where they almost don't need to gather energy to perform witchcraft. It still maintains a "stability" unique to the material world. It is probably a benefit to cast spells faster. But we have to be vigilant about the causes of these abnormalities.
"stop……"
The wizards spoke out to remind the other beings in the team to stop first, but before the words were completely conveyed, a point where void energy was highly concentrated appeared in their perception, and something descended around them. .
Lorian, the other knights and mages who heard the wizards' voices turned around quickly, and saw the wizards suddenly stopped in place with dull expressions. Around them, void energy gathered rapidly, and in the eyes of other beings, a huge The figure gradually emerged.
"Be careful, prepare for a fight!"
Shock flashed through Lorian's heart. This huge thing was somewhat similar to the incarnation of the gods he had seen before. However, how could it be possible? In any case, challenge is what must be done at this moment. Immediately He shouted loudly and raised the weapon in his hand.
"I'm preparing for the midterm exam in the past two weeks. There's been a lot going on. Maybe there are only a few updates in one or two days, but I'll fill it in for you soon. And recently, the characters in the book often ask "Why?" "What's going on?" Don’t worry, these are by no means meaningless conversations. Like many before, they ask questions because they “really don’t understand”~(￣▽￣~)~”
