Synthetic Wizard

Chapter 516 - 296: Why Did It Turn Out Like This? (2)

...

Dark Dragon Plane, Black Rope Tower headquarters.

The grand architectural complex resembling a black giant dragon coiled on the ground has now lost its former solemnity and dignity, filled with a foreboding atmosphere that makes one feel somewhat depressed,

The stagnant heavy atmosphere becomes more evident in the spacious council hall within the central black tower.

Dozens of wizards gathered in the hall all have gloomy faces with furrowed brows.

"The Ten Thousand Headed Bird is already dispatching the main army, preparing to concentrate forces to attack the Moho Plane and Nether Tree Plane; their momentum is strong, I’m afraid we can hardly withstand it."

"No matter what, we mustn’t let the Ten Thousand Headed Bird continue to occupy more planes. If we lose a few more, Black Rope Tower will be finished."

"It sounds simple; how can we stop the Ten Thousand Headed Bird?"

"Alas, everything was fine at the beginning, how did it turn into this situation?"

Listening to everyone’s discussion, confusion flashed in Lucius’ eyes.

Yes, how did it become like this?

Is it because the Ten Thousand Headed Bird is strong?

No, that’s not it; in terms of strength, Black Rope Tower is much stronger than the Ten Thousand Headed Bird!

The development of events reached this point entirely because of the Star Alliance!

Thinking of this, deep regret surged in Lucius’ heart.

Who could have imagined that a small third-rate wizard influence could cause such trouble for Black Rope Tower?

In the continuous war lasting over five hundred years, normal wizard influences become weaker the more they fight.

Even the Ten Thousand Headed Bird, which captured eight planes of Black Rope Tower during the war, didn’t increase its strength significantly; instead, it exhausted most of its resources and accumulation.

After all, the results of the war require time to digest.

Only the Star Alliance is an exception; after years of warfare, it not only didn’t become weaker but grew stronger.

Except for not having a True Spirit Wizard, the strength of the Star Alliance has vaguely caught up with the Ten Thousand Headed Bird.

If we knew how tricky the Star Alliance was, we should have concentrated our efforts to deal with the Star Alliance first.

Even if it meant sacrificing one or two planes, we should have eliminated the Star Alliance first.

In that case, the situation wouldn’t have developed into this dire state!

But now, it’s too late for regret.

Even if they gather forces to deal with the Star Alliance now, it doesn’t guarantee they can defeat the latter.

The Star Alliance is no longer the small wizard influence that could be easily wiped out.

After debating for a long time with no result, the hall gradually quieted down, and everyone turned to look at Lucius seated at the top.

Seeing this, Lucius took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Send someone to negotiate with the Ten Thousand Headed Bird and the Star Alliance."

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback, but after realizing it, they showed complicated expressions.

At this point, unless Black Rope Tower plans to go all out with the Ten Thousand Headed Bird and the Star Alliance at the risk of annihilation, negotiation is the only option left.

But Black Rope Tower is the strongest among second-rate wizard influences, with hopes of becoming one of the leading large wizard influences; they have always been the ones bullying others, but now they have to beg others for mercy, which feels utterly frustrating.

At this moment, everyone had mixed feelings.

But in the face of death, pride must be put aside; soon, someone voiced agreement.

"I agree with negotiation, but Lord Lucius, I’m afraid the Ten Thousand Headed Bird and the Star Alliance will demand exorbitant terms."

Lucius said expressionlessly, "It’s only natural for them to take advantage of us now; expecting otherwise would be strange. As long as they are willing to negotiate, even if it means sacrificing two more planes, we can only agree."

As long as there’s life, there’s hope for the future.

If we can preserve our strength and endure, there’s always a chance to rise again.

Sooner or later, he would make the Ten Thousand Headed Bird and the Star Alliance pay.

"What if the Star Alliance and Ten Thousand Headed Bird don’t accept the negotiation?" someone hesitantly asked.

A flash of ferocity crosses Lucius’ face, and he says coldly, "Black Rope Tower is not to be trifled with; if they refuse to negotiate, we’ll fight them to the death!"

...

Above Wulan City.

A planar rift suddenly appears, and Sunan emerges from it.

Today is the annual day of return.

As per usual, he needs to go to the laboratory to synthesize a batch of new resources for the Star Alliance to use for the coming year.

With the development and growth of the Star Alliance, many medium and low-level resources no longer require his attention, but some high-level resources like Construction Potion and Enhanced Wizard Tower Facilities still rely on his cube synthesis.

However, as soon as Sunan arrived at the laboratory, Lize stopped him.

"Black Rope Tower has sent envoys to negotiate with us."

Sunan raised an eyebrow in surprise but quickly returned to a normal expression.

Having reached this point, with Black Rope Tower completely at a disadvantage, seeking negotiation is not surprising.

"What did the Ten Thousand Headed Bird say?" Sunan asked.

The Ten Thousand Headed Bird likely also received Black Rope Tower’s negotiation request.

"Gavin came over recently, wanting to meet with you to negotiate, but since you weren’t here, he returned and asked me to inform you as soon as you returned."

"Arrange a meeting with him."

Upon hearing Sunan had returned, Gavin rushed over, and upon meeting, he took a peculiar look, sizing Sunan up.

"I heard you’ve already grasped a law?"

"That’s right," Sunan openly admitted.

Upon hearing this, Gavin showed a complex gaze.

As a True Spirit Descendant, he has only reached Level 3 Crystallization and has not successfully grasped a law.

Before the outbreak of the wizard civil war, Sunan was only at Level 3 Liquidation, yet he swiftly advanced to Level 3 Crystallization, and more impressively, successfully grasped a law! This speed of improvement is extraordinary!

He used to pride himself on his outstanding talent, but compared to Sunan, he suddenly felt like his previous cultivation was all for naught.

What kind of law did Sunan grasp?

Such rapid success in grasping a law suggests it might be Elemental Series laws?

But thinking about Sunan’s talent, he must have chosen a Rule Series law.

If it indeed was Rule Series and he grasped it this quickly, that’s even more astonishing!

After hesitating a moment, Gavin refrained from asking.

After all, the law a wizard grasps is a personal secret; asking recklessly might offend.

Regaining his composure, Gavin spoke about serious matters.

"The Star Alliance has likely received Black Rope Tower’s negotiation request too; what’s your plan?"

Sunan didn’t answer but instead smiled and asked, "The Ten Thousand Headed Bird doesn’t intend to agree to the negotiation, does it?"

Gavin paused and then laughed, "You couldn’t be fooled."

Then his expression turned serious, "We’ve finally managed to drive Black Rope Tower into this state; it’s a rare opportunity. If we don’t take this chance to eliminate Black Rope Tower, and they recover later, they’ll surely seek revenge on us; leaving grass roots allows future troubles!"

Sunan pondered briefly, not immediately revealing his opinion, but he actually agreed with Gavin’s viewpoint.

Black Wizards are a vindictive bunch.

If Black Rope Tower suffered such a loss this time, wanting revenge is expected.

Of course, the most important aspect is the benefits.

In normal times, the Star Alliance would find it difficult to conquer several new planes.

Only in large-scale wars like wizard civil wars can alliances be formed, distant enemies attacked to capture multiple planes.

A rare opportunity is presenting itself to the Star Alliance right now.

Just by eliminating Black Rope Tower, controlling more planes will greatly benefit future development.

From any perspective, the Star Alliance shouldn’t miss this opportunity.

The Ten Thousand Headed Bird evidently shares similar thoughts.

Seeing Sunan deep in thought without speaking, Gavin eventually couldn’t hold back and said, "We can cooperate like before to attack Black Rope Tower, with the Ten Thousand Headed Bird taking on four planes including the Dark Dragon Plane, while the Star Alliance only needs to handle three planes."

Sunan’s eyes flickered, and he immediately responded, "Among the three planes the Star Alliance handles, it must include the Endland Plane."

Endland is precisely the third Human Plane under Black Rope Tower, besides Dark Dragon Plane and Tainuo Plane.
