Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Chapter 1263: Chapter 587: First Appearance of the Star Devourer

David, clad in the Chaos half-deity armor, stood quietly atop the walls of the Royal Capital, his gaze deep and star-like in its calmness and sharpness.

In recent days, he had been weighing the pros and cons, meticulously assessing the situation: the Holy Light Church was gradually recovering from the shadow of a disastrous defeat, gathering an even larger and more ferocious army to launch a new round of bloody crusades; meanwhile, the local situation was not yet stable, with countless residual forces urgently needing to consolidate the defense lines. However, he knew well that waiting passively would only lead to becoming a passive target, slowly being consumed. Only by taking the initiative could the deadlock be broken.

"Opening a second battlefield is the best choice." David slowly uttered this sentence, his voice steady yet brimming with irrefutable determination, "An expedition into the star realm not only allows us to acquire unknown resources and power supplies but also effectively diverts the enemy’s attention, leaving the Holy Light Church to be stretched thin across multiple fronts."

He turned to look at the prepared individuals beside him—Liya with a resolute expression, her clear eyes reflecting infinite wisdom and determination; Annie lightly gripping her magic staff, with a faint hint of excitement and anticipation on her face; Reina, surrounded by a soul crystal with a faint red spiritual flame, akin to a lamp of life flickering endlessly in the dark; and Alia, standing silently to the side, the power of the Blood Prison World within her flowing steadily, an irreplaceable and strong aide in the expedition.

Additionally, there were several elite technical wizards operating complex rune devices and ancient magical machinery, providing crucial support for this journey.

"Hill," David’s gaze swept to the commander of the home army, a calm and immensely charismatic human sorcerer knight leader, "you will lead the majority of the sorcerer knight forces and elite guardians to hold Silver Moon tightly during our absence."

Hill nodded in response, "Rest assured, Lord, I will guard the city as if it were my life."

With the decision made, a massive starship stood on a floating platform outside the Silver Moon Royal Capital. This ship, named "Silverwing Ark," was a fusion of ancient elf wisdom and the crystallization of modern magic technology—the entire hull was constructed from the core of a living ancient tree covered in engraved runes, pulsating and breathing as if alive, perfectly merging with the inset, gleaming spiritual pattern metal. It emitted a dark blue glow along its entire body, like a giant silver-winged bird soaring in the night sky, as if it were a wing of time and space, ready to carry everyone through the barriers of multiple planes.

David gazed forward, stepping onto the gangway with each step firm and powerful. He felt the strong and stable energy of the star gnomon core flowing within the ship’s body, a navigational divine artifact from the ancestors, whose fragments, specially integrated, served as the steering control soul hub for the entire ship. This artifact not only provided precise positioning but could guide the ship to tear through the void plane barriers, achieving cross-realm transitions.

All the boarders successively entered the cabin, with faces filled with both tension and anticipation. The air was filled with an aura of solemn dignity yet brimming with the breath of a hopeful new era. Annie softly chanted spells, blessing and wishing the voyage, while Liya gathered spiritual power around the navigation core for final adjustments and confirmations.

Alia sat cross-legged before a specially made altar, her eyes closed, sensing the swirling fluctuations of the Blood Prison World, adjusting her power to its optimal state to be ready to unleash powerful supportive energy to protect everyone at any moment.

When all preparations were completed, David stood at the center of the vessel’s main control room, the large star gnomon fragment embedded in the hull center emitted a resonant humming upon his touch. As he slowly pressed down the activation rune array with both hands, a large three-dimensional star map composed of countless minute light points instantly unfolded before their eyes, as if opening a gateway to the mysteries of the unknown universe.

Subsequently, the "Silverwing Ark" emitted a deep and prolonged roar, its immense body trembling slightly, with an endless stream of rune flows emerging from the metallic tree bark surface, appearing mysterious and unfathomable under the distorted space effects, as if about to soar high and tear the firmament in a spectacular and awe-inspiring manner!

In an instant, a blinding white light burst forth, engulfing all surrounding remnants of dark devouring. The "Silverwing Ark" pierced the sky with unstoppable force, rushing into the intangible void, where the rippling area instantly twisted and collapsed into shattered illusions—signifying the plane barrier was beginning to loosen, broken open at lightning speed!

"Boom——" Accompanied by a deep and resonant roar, the Silverwing Ark struggled forward like a giant beast within the dark and endless starry void. The ship’s body shook violently, causing the breath and heartbeat of everyone on board to race accordingly. The air was filled with an arc-like scent, mingled with the unique magical aura from the activation of runes. David tightly gripped the edge of the control panel, his gaze fierce, observing the magnificent yet perilous starry realm before him.

Outside was an infinite and unpredictable etheric turbulence, an area filled with splendid yet deadly energy storms. The colorful light ribbons resembled giant lightning whips, wildly swinging in the void, like ripple bursts in the galaxy, constantly tearing at the shadows and frenzy. These energy waves were sometimes violently aggressive, like roaring angry tides; at other times calm and eerie, slowly spreading like mist. But regardless of their form, they harbored lethal danger.

"Is the control core stable?" David asked in a deep voice.

Liya, with furrowed brows, had her hands hovering above the floating rune array, and her spiritual power precisely regulating the internal energy flow of the ship, "The star gnomon fragment is playing a key role. It has preemptively detected multiple space-time folds and gravity traps ahead, providing precise guidance for us to avoid perilous paths. But the storm intensity far exceeds expectations, we can only traverse with the fastest speed."
