Main God Creation Rules

Page 290

One is about this continent, the origin and history of the West Coast Continent, with an accompanying map that vaguely depicts the West Coast Continent's location on the periphery of the wizarding world and its scarce resources.

One is about the hierarchy of wizards, roughly three levels of wizard apprentices, three levels of full wizards, then four levels of wizards representing the Morning Star, five levels of wizards representing the Radiant Moon, and six levels of wizards representing the Radiant Sun. After that, there seems to be something called Holy Spirit Wizards, but the author of this book only has a vague understanding of it... It does fit the background of this west coast continent where wizard resources are scarce.

Another one is about interdimensional expeditions, which is the real reason why Lin Yi turned his attention to this world.

"A civilization capable of dimensional travel without relying on 'fragments'..."

Aside from the Time and Space Administration, this was the second similar civilization Lin Yi had encountered. Moreover, judging from the descriptions in these records, the wizard civilization adopted a completely different attitude towards the extradimensional world from the Time and Space Administration—the former had a veneer of "civilization protection" to cover it up, while the latter was blatant plunder and destruction, which was somewhat characteristic of the "fragments".

If the main god hadn't confirmed that there were no other "fragments" in this world, Lin Yi would have even suspected that this wizarding civilization was being possessed by some fragment.

While Lin Yi was plundering the achievements of the wizard civilization on the western coast, the automated humanoid that had completed its search of the middle level of the wizard tower also turned its attention to the top level.

"Generally speaking, the most valuable things are placed on the top floor."

Relying on the knowledge gained from the game, and with that line of "buff status" making him wonder if he was still half asleep, G11 unusually offered his opinion: "Let's defeat the Demon King and take back the princess."

UMP45 waited a while and found that the "box" did not give any instructions, and Eve maintained her "aloof" image. So he gave instructions based on his own judgment: "Continue to go up, and stay alert."

"Understood~"

They continued forward up the circular staircase, its steps seemingly carved from a single block of stone. The sparse sounds around them gradually faded into the distance, eventually disappearing completely. For a moment, only the sound of boots clicking echoed in their ears. Perhaps to dispel the eeriness, UMP9, walking at the back of the group, suddenly spoke up: "Speaking of which, what is this 'Tower Spirit'? Even if it's just rudimentary artificial intelligence, doesn't it require many parts and structures? We haven't seen anything like it in this tower."

The same question lingered in the minds of Squad 404. After all, they were, in a sense, a kind of "artificial intelligence." However, after undergoing several improvements, their self-discipline and thinking were no different from ordinary people—and even better than ordinary people. Seeing their "kin" in this world, whose style was completely incompatible with artificial intelligence, was beyond their expectations.

[This is just a description chosen to make it easier for you to understand; it's not the kind of artificial intelligence you're familiar with.]

UMP45, surprised to receive a reply, asked with some excitement: "Could there be artificial intelligence in this world that can be made from stone and wood?"

[Simply using stones and wood is clearly not enough]

As UMP45, who was walking at the forefront, suddenly stopped, the light emanating from the top of the tower descended layer by layer, exposing Squad 404, whose shielding system had been forcibly disarmed in an unknown way, to the light.

In an instant, a tremendous sound echoed within the tower.

Intruder discovered, expel them.

But adding "witchcraft" changes everything.

Wizarding Civilization: Chapter 740 Tower Spirit (Part 2)

The fact that wizard towers cannot be used as weapons of war for proactive attacks only applies to external threats, but this may not be the case internally.

Even computers, which can't even be called artificial intelligence, have the ability to detect and kill system viruses, let alone the Tower Spirit, which has the same rudimentary form of intelligence.

With the shielding system failing, the first wave of attacks launched by Squad 404, exposed to the Tower's surveillance, was simple enough—yet effective enough.

With a series of sharp scraping sounds, the steps where the members of Squad 404 were standing were pulled back into the tower wall. Without a support point, the automaton obviously did not have the same ability to stay in the air as Eve, and was about to fall to the bottom of the tower more than 600 meters below under the drag of gravity.

Of course, as battle-hardened and experienced androids, Squad 404 was not going to be killed by gravity so easily. As the sound of the ejection impact rang out, HK416, who was forcibly fixed to the tower wall using the carbon fiber traction device on her arm, breathed a sigh of relief. Before she could say anything, UMP45 took the initiative to speak.

"coming."

"what?"

The question was answered the next second.

As a level two tower spirit that can barely make logical judgments, the second-ring tower of the Dual-Patterned Wizard Academy is not yet able to withstand large-scale offensive magic. When facing external attackers, it relies more on the power of amplifying wizards to drive them away, but when facing internal intruders, it can only rely on the various structures of the tower itself to abnormally eliminate them.

After the first attack failed, the tower spirit, whose body was equivalent to the wizard tower, immediately launched a second wave of attacks.

With a slight vibration on the carbon fiber, the sharp stone spear pierced through the surface and aimed at HK416's head, which was very close. Her rapidly functioning brain forced her to twist and avoid the attack just before her head was pierced. However, she could not stay on the stone wall any longer in the face of the stone spears that kept shooting out. She had no choice but to release the carbon fiber and fix it again after leaving the area where the stone spears were thrusting.

However, such escape is meaningless. As long as they are still inside the body of the "Tower Spirit", the "Tower Spirit" can drive the Wizard Tower to exhaust them to death through this simple form-changing method.

"Break it!"

After escaping the area occupied by the stone spears once again, UMP45 issued an order to HK416 below. The latter kicked the stone wall hard—clearly not trying to break it in this way—and then quickly retreated using the reaction force. The upside-down posture did not affect the automaton's aim, and it pulled the trigger at the weak point in the tower structure.

What protruded from the gun was not a bullet, but a grenade.

"boom------!!!"

In the enclosed environment inside the tower, the sound waves from the explosion swept through repeatedly, amplifying their destructive power. However, apart from the automated humanoids, the only other beings present were the tower spirits, who lacked even the ability to hear. Naturally, no one was affected by the sound waves.

As the smoke and debris from the explosion dissipated, a helpless scene unfolded before Squad 404.

"Not deep enough, let's do it again!"

"It's no use, this thing will repair itself."

Visibly, the dents that had been created by the bombardment were gradually smoothing out, replaced by brand-new walls.

After falling another twenty meters to avoid the stone spears, UMP9 suggested, "How about attacking simultaneously?"

"Before that, it's better to prepare to deal with the wizards below."

Reaching out, he grabbed G11's collar as it fell from above, and dodged the pursuing stone spears. At the base of the tower, less than 300 meters high, he could already see the flames and various colors of magical energy burning in the hands of the wizard apprentices.

"It seems inevitable that I'll have to lie in the repair pod this time."

"Waaah... Has my game time been shortened again?"

"Cheer up, at least you're sleeping longer now."

"Perhaps there's no need to be so pessimistic."

"45?"

There was no answer; he simply gazed upwards with a cryptic look.

Unlike Squad 404, who temporarily retreated to avoid the stone spears, Eve, who possessed the ability to hang in the air, never left the existing area from the beginning and remained at a mid-to-upper level of over 600 meters.

Sensing the difference in this invader, the Tower Spirit clearly devoted more of its power to targeting the invaders in the middle and upper levels. This is why Squad 404 was able to maintain its position for so long without suffering any casualties. However, as Squad 404 descended in altitude, the wizard apprentices who received the Wizard Tower's amplification took over the Tower Spirit's elimination of Squad 404. The Tower Spirit of the second-ring tower was naturally able to free up its resources to deal with this "unusual" invader.

[High energy fluctuations, suppression procedure initiated]

Through the "box" held in Eve's hand, Lin Yi could feel that the activity of a certain energy floating in the tower had decreased significantly in an instant, approaching the level of inertia.

Based on previously obtained intelligence, it is not difficult to conclude that this energy with restricted activity is mana—the source of power that wizards can leverage with their weak mental energy to influence the world.

Presumably convinced that this ability to reduce mana activity would be effective, the Tower Spirits, having completed the suppression, immediately activated their strongest internal defense measures.

[The separation mechanism will activate in ten seconds. All members inside the tower, please prepare.]

【ten】

【nine】

【Eight】

【seven--】

[That's enough, take him out.]

"Yes, Father."

The blinding flare expanded to its maximum in an instant, and the upper half of the tower was melted away by the rapidly rising temperature. The separation mechanism, which was originally counting down, was immediately stopped, and instead, the remaining energy in the energy pool was used to maintain the integrity of the wizard tower. The two wizards who had been observing the situation below from the top of the tower also changed their expressions drastically. They used their strongest magic to counteract the damage caused to the wizard tower by the high temperature generated by the flare. For a moment, they had no time to care about the wizard apprentices at the bottom who were also exposed to the flare.

The 404 squad, who also felt the terrifying heat carried by the "light" more than 200 meters above, immediately took cover behind various protruding objects on the stone walls. As the distorted air waves swept down from above, hundreds of wizard apprentices below who could not dodge in time were instantly turned to ashes by the intense light of the flare, leaving only blurry humanoid outlines on the ground before disappearing without a trace...

Three seconds later, under the gaze of countless surprised or bewildered eyes outside the wizard tower, a beam of light pierced through one side of the more than 600-meter-high wizard tower. Several disheveled figures had just appeared from the gap when they were swept away by the bright light and disappeared into the sky...

P.S.: Fourth update

Wizarding Civilization: Chapter 741 The White-Robed Wizard

At the cost of their hard-won base being almost destroyed again, the expeditionary force from Earth managed to repel the wizards' fifth attack... or perhaps that's not quite right, since in Lin Yi's eyes these wizards only left the battlefield after the attack on the Twin-Patterned Wizard Tower, so it's hard to say how much pressure Earth put on them.

Just as the Earth Expeditionary Force could easily crush and slaughter medieval knights, it found itself struggling to even locate mysterious and enigmatic wizards without "automatic humanoid jamming radar" like Eve's. After various electromagnetic, infrared, and optical detection methods failed, the Expeditionary Force was forced to resort to an extremely primitive method to search for the wizards.

—To be sent to one's death.

Not every wizard possesses the ability to remain invisible and move at high speed while hovering and attacking. As long as you cover the areas where fireballs or acid sprays appear with firepower, you can often find two by sheer luck, but the hit rate and kill rate are quite pitiful.

If it weren't for the enemy's sudden retreat, and the wizards' well-prepared attack, the Earth Expeditionary Force would have had almost no chance of victory, not even 10%.

Fortunately, after suffering such heavy casualties and paying such a high price, they finally obtained the intelligence they needed.

In conclusion, those wizards did indeed live in a settlement-like community within an area, and we have also discovered their specific coordinates.

"Great!"

Upon hearing this, a disheveled officer finally smiled. The series of tactical setbacks had almost made him give up the battle and turn back to Earth with his soldiers. Now, he had finally gained the initiative, and it was even a strategic initiative!

Based on the contact during this period, the war pattern between the Earth Expeditionary Force and the Wizards is easily reminiscent of modern warfare on Earth. Both sides have high lethality and low defense, and the "weapons" they control are far stronger than the users who control them. As a result, both sides have the ability to inflict huge casualties on the other side in a short period of time.

This situation highlights the importance of intelligence. Ultimately, what has allowed the wizards to consistently suppress the Earth Expeditionary Force? Their mystery and enigma are certainly factors, but even a level two wizard cannot directly confront the armor-piercing weapons of a tank. Therefore, it's impossible to say they completely overwhelm the Earth Expeditionary Force in every aspect. What truly gives them such a massive advantage is intelligence.

Relying on the advantage of the enemy being in the open while we are in the dark, these wizards can use any means to launch a full-scale attack on the Earth Expeditionary Force, which has to rely on teleportation portals to establish bases, from poisoning to assault, from infection to infiltration. But what can the Earth Expeditionary Force do in the face of wizards?

It's clear at a glance.

Aside from occasionally hitting a few targets during combat using a random approach—they couldn't kill them all at once, and they didn't even have the ability to directly damage the enemy's "base." Of course, this situation is about to change, which is the fundamental reason why Earth is willing to pay a hefty 200000 reward points.

However, the voice from the "box" soon interrupted the officers' excited discussion about how to retaliate.

[As a 'collaborator,' I'd like to offer you a friendly reminder: the places where those wizards live are not towns or castles, but wizard towers, possessing a certain level of defensive and anti-missile capabilities.]

The noise instantly subsided.

After a long pause, a commander finally asked, barely containing his emotions, "Can you provide specific parameters? How strong an impact can it withstand, or what level of missile attack can it counter?"

Lin Yi naturally had no reason to refuse such a "reasonable request." Instead, he thoughtfully provided them with a list of intelligence from the Second Ring Wizard Tower and even offered them some advice.

Of course, if you could deliver a three-million-ton nuclear bomb directly from space via orbital deployment, then none of these problems would exist.

Faced with this seemingly impossible "challenge," everyone fell silent.

Admittedly, Earth possesses the means of launching weapons from orbit as an attack method—this was something that began to be planned more than a hundred years ago in the 21st century. However, that capability was only available on Earth. Now, facing a completely unfamiliar world, they don't even understand the radius and structure of the planet they are on. They haven't even been able to complete the most basic step of sending a satellite. How could they possibly transport a nuclear missile and launch it over the top of the Wizard Tower and drop it down?

Moreover, the information Lin Yi provided about the Wizard Tower was too exaggerated, to the point that a considerable number of people present doubted its accuracy. As for why they did that... didn't they see that the other party had just extracted resources worth 200000 reward points from Earth?

If the expeditionary force still cannot gain any advantage, then Earth will only have two choices: either abandon the huge investment and sacrifices made in this world, abandon the exploration of the other world and slink back to Earth, never to set foot in this world again; or pay a greater price and let the "Main God Space", which clearly has the ability to deal with the Wizard Tower, directly eliminate this powerful enemy.

"We will carefully consider the specific countermeasures against the wizarding organization. The AR team that carried out the mission has returned. Perhaps you can go and find out about their situation."

Faced with the expeditionary force's offer to see them off, Lin Yi readily agreed, leaving the group inside to argue. Under Eve's "guidance," she found the AR team, and unsurprisingly, they would soon have a joint mission with the 404 team.

Meanwhile, the wizards who had used teleportation spells dozens of times rushed back to the Wizard Tower. The first thing they saw upon entering the academy grounds was the gap in the second-ring tower that was still emitting billowing heat. Some wizards cursed angrily, while others bowed to the apprentices and servants below and flew directly into the Wizard Tower.

Half an hour later, the wizards sorted out the situation.

"...The main body of the Twin-Patterned Wizard Tower was severely damaged. Fortunately, the high-energy protection deployed by the energy pool during the attack offset most of the impact. The rest can be repaired on its own over time. It just can't provide us with any help for the time being."

"Of course, but what about the war against those invaders?"

"...I saw a white-robed wizard."

Wizarding Civilization: Chapter 742 New Cooperation

"...I saw a white-robed wizard among those invaders."

"How can it be--"

"Could that person really be from some wizarding organization?"

Reaching out to stop the argument among the first-level wizards below, Zakokar, another vice-principal of the Dual-Striped Wizard Academy and a second-level wizard, said calmly: "All the signs are on the surface. There is a wizarding organization behind the invaders that is pushing this war, and their goal is this continent beneath our feet. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why those ignorant mortals from other worlds have the ability to penetrate wizarding defenses."

“Under these circumstances, even if the Dual-Striped Wizard Academy is willing to pay a certain price to end the conflict, the other side will not give up easily. Therefore, we must not only not stop, but also continue to intensify our attacks on these aggressors until we finally win.”

"Of course, we cannot allow the Wizard Tower, on which the academy depends for survival, to remain in danger. In the war to come, half of the wizards will lead the wizard apprentices into battle—no need to worry, with the magical resistance of those otherworldly invaders, even the wizard apprentices can handle them. The other half of the wizards will be stationed at the Wizard Tower for a long time to ensure its integrity."

"Similarly, we still need to continue to mobilize the mortals on the west coast. Although they can only die when facing the invaders' weapons, at least they have diverted a lot of the enemy's attention. It is their honor to sacrifice for the wizard civilization, so there is no need to worry."

"May the will of the great wizard watch over us, and let us act."

----------segmentation----------

As a result, Earth did not fully accept Lin Yi's "one-sided account," but instead deployed a truly elite force from the 22nd century the day after the wizard's fifth attack.

Exoskeleton armor, Gauss weapons, and intelligent auxiliary devices. Combining stealth, offensive capabilities, surprise attacks, and mobility, this high-tech "cutting-edge warrior" was born. Similarly, these "cutting-edge warriors" held a different meaning in Lin Yi's eyes, because each of their equipment, converted into reward points, was roughly equivalent to 1 point. In other words, this team of three hundred people represented three hundred reward points…

Unfortunately, before Lin Yi could decide how to "reasonably" strip their equipment and throw it into the recycling pod in the God Space for reuse, these "cutting-edge warriors" set off immediately after arriving, heading towards the wizard tower coordinates provided by Lin Yi.

"...Relying on Sakura Stone energy, the expeditionary force equipped with exoskeleton armor can advance at a speed of over one hundred kilometers per hour, reaching the vicinity of their destination in less than a day. They can then use armor-piercing weapons specifically designed to target wizards to tear apart their ridiculous defenses and bodies, and then directly blow up the wizard towers."

Zhang Longshao, who had somehow appeared not far from Eve, introduced the box while tentatively asking, "What do you think?"

"Didn't you already arrange the script?"

"This is just the theoretical best model; no one knows how successful it will actually be in practice... The two previous transactions with 'Main God Space' caused great dissatisfaction on Earth. They believe that the benefits gained from 'Main God Space' are completely disproportionate to the costs, and some have even proposed refusing to contribute corresponding resources. This batch of soldiers was dispatched by this group that made the proposal. If they fail, perhaps our cooperation with 'Griffin' will continue, but if they succeed..."
