In the boundless starry sky, a massive Floating City Fleet leapt out from the Void.

Under the command of the Battle Zone Command Center, the frontline combat troops were retreating towards the Hub World at an astonishing speed.

Although Richard had issued an order for the combat troops to prepare for an attack, reorganization of the legion was essential before the assault.

In the Wizards' battle zone, Wizards were naturally the main force. But besides that, Wizards also needed auxiliary second-line troops from the Clan, as well as auxiliary legions from the gods and the Abyss.

Even though the Wizard Army can fight without a complete formation, if conditions permit, no Commander would send an incomplete legion to the battlefield.

This would be irresponsible to the legion and to the battlefield.

The fleet slowly approached the World Barrier, and outside the World Barrier, a massive ring-shaped structure was silently rotating in the starry sky.

This is another super-large Alchemy War Machine by the Wizards, following the Floating City and the Floating Fortress, named the World Ring.

The main materials of the World Ring are various alloys, but mixed within are numerous biotechnology elements, such as the material erosion technique from the Abyss.

From the outside, the gigantic World Ring looks like a huge hollow metal ring.

The positioning of the World Ring is very simple; on normal days, it can be used as a port for Floating Cities, avoiding the hassle of Floating Cities entering and exiting the world. Secondly, when the world is invaded, the World Ring can also be used as a defense measure.

Designed by the Alchemy Wizards, three World Rings of different sizes plus a small number of Star Realm Fortresses can completely guard the entire world.

And by interacting with the World Guardian and internal world devices, the World Ring can collaborate with the world to expand and change the nature of the World Barrier, transforming it into an impenetrable shield.

"Floating City Fleet 64 requests port entry."

"Confirm number, prepare to guide beam."

Four beams of light shot out from the World Ring, illuminating the massive Floating City as it slowly entered the World Ring.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz...

Suddenly, a series of alarms sounded in all the Floating Cities. In the Star Realm, the Sea of Ether seemed to be stimulated by something, boiling over completely.

A violent spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared, turning the originally orderly formation into chaos.

"Ether Storm? And at Orange Level!"

In the center of the Floating City Fleet, the fleet's Commander looked at the control panel's prompt, a hint of astonishment on his face.

They had entered and exited the World Ring before; it shouldn't have caused an Ether Storm.

But soon, his astonishment disappeared, replaced by sheer terror.

In the Star Realm, a massive rift suddenly unfolded, like a gigantic scar. In the center of that scar, an enormous entity with a large fleet was slowly entering the Star Realm.

"Enemy attack! A Dominator-led attack!"

...

"A Dominator-led attack?"

Richard listened to the news coming from the Hub World, a flash of surprise crossing his face.

Could he have guessed wrong?

The Civilization Devourers didn't attack just because they had too large a war zone to manage and hadn't had the chance to strike?

Richard's thoughts moved, and the vision of the clone in the Enchanting Soul Dimension appeared before his eyes.

The meeting place between him and many Dominators was in the Enchanting Soul Dimension, but only half a year had passed, and no one had come to the meeting yet.

"This is somewhat troublesome."

Richard frowned slightly and immediately took out his Miracle Grimoire from his pocket.

The use of Curse Witchcraft required a medium and connection. These Dominators had signed a Destiny Contract with him, which should allow him to use Curse Witchcraft to contact these Dominators.

Without hesitation, Richard's body immediately entered the Endless Dimension. Beside him, the massive Power of Dimension was attracted by the Miracle Grimoire, converging together, looking like a storm trapped Richard in it.

Richard flipped the pages, with the Rune Holy Light appearing on his body.

As the Crown Throne of the Miracle School, the Miracle Grimoire in Richard's hands recorded all Miracle Witchcraft, as well as the principles of Miracle Witchcraft—whether or not they were created by Richard.

These principles seemed somewhat whimsical, but the moment they were inscribed into the Miracle Grimoire, they became part of the Miracle Witchcraft system.

Even Richard, at the highest point of this system's hierarchy, cannot casually erase these conditions.

Therefore, when Richard was to use an unprecedented Miracle Witchcraft, he was not sure if he could succeed.

Soon, a Miracle Witchcraft appeared before Richard.

"Contract Tracking Technique, it's you."

This is a Three-Ring Miracle Witchcraft created by the Miracle School, whose effect is to establish a connection between the parties of a contract through the link on the contract.

Richard did not know what purpose this witchcraft's creator had in mind, but today, this witchcraft happened to be useful.

Richard's thoughts moved, and a Magic Array of the Contract Tracking Technique appeared in the Void.

Next, he waved his hand, with countless runes flying out from the Miracle Grimoire, delving into the Magic Array.

The Contract Tracking Technique was pretty good, but what Richard needed was not tracking but the transmission of information.

So, he needed to make a tiny modification to this witchcraft.

After the modifications were completed, Richard placed his palm in the center of the magic array. Immediately, a sensation akin to an electric shock surged from his palm, rushing straight to Richard's soul.

"Gentlemen, the trivial matters have come to an end. Gather your weapons and treasures; the war is about to begin."

After conveying this message, Richard removed his hand, feeling a slight sense of relief in his heart.

He wasn't worried that these Dominators wouldn't come. Under the binding of the Destiny Contract, if they dared not to come, they would dare to die under destiny's arrangement.

Leaving a message for the avatar in the Mist Dimension, to prevent missing any responses while fighting, Richard directly headed to that Hub World.

In the boundless void, fragments of shattered metal continuously flew about.

With the relentless efforts of several civilization technicians, along with Richard's generous support in technology, the conventional technology gap between the Wizard Alliance and the Predecessor Civilization Alliance had been bridged.

However, in terms of advanced technology, the gap remained significant, yet the Wizard Alliance chose not to engage in blind research. Instead, they conducted specialized studies based on their current status.

Their research focused primarily on two areas: world relocation technology and overlord defense technology.

The power of a Dominator on a conventional battlefield was too overwhelming. Even the fortress worlds of the Civilization Devourers, under weapon deterrence, could be breached by a Dominator in just a few dozen minutes.

Although the Wizard Alliance believed in their own victory, strategically underestimating the opponent, they couldn't overlook them tactically.

Thus, overlord defense technology became the second area of research.

Based on present observations, this research direction had yielded results.

On the outer perimeter of the world, countless shield generators shimmered atop the massive World Ring. Power from the World Barrier kept flowing ceaselessly into this colossal world-scale barrier through energy transmission pipelines.

The Dominator stood silently in the void, gently waving the warhammer in hand.

The next moment, a massive ripple was stirred on the barrier. Seen from behind the barrier, it seemed like a towering wave.

Yet, the barrier did not shatter.

The origins of greatness often appear inadvertently.

To counter the Dominator, the Wizard Alliance inadvertently found the starting point of the Heavenly Destiny road—meaning that with the aid of World Guardians and technical equipment, a civilization could fully harness the power of a world.

This was a grand technology that even the Predecessor Civilization Alliance hadn't possessed.

Searing firepower erupted from the World Ring, its countless energy beams nearly illuminating the entire Sea of Ether.

The Civilization Devourer's avatar silently gazed at this creation of civilization, emotion surfacing for the first time in its eyes—

Greed.

To It, the stronger and more creative a civilization, the more delectable it was.

The progress of the Wizard Alliance was like the aroma rising from a dish, causing its stomach to rumble.

Boom!

It swung the warhammer again, and this time, the world barrier constructed by the World Ring dimmed significantly. Around the impact area, thousands of shield generators overloaded due to this strike.

"Alchemy Wizards, quick repairs!"

The General Commander of the Hub World bellowed the order, nearly roaring.

Under his command, tens of thousands of Alchemy Wizards sprang into action, accompanied by alchemical insects like a rising tide—they were part of the General Commander's force.

If the attacking legion commanders were under the Shaping Wizards' command, then these defense forces were led by the Wizards of the Alchemy School.

Soon, the third strike came.

This time, the massive barrier suddenly dimmed. Following that, an incredibly sharp buzzing sound echoed throughout the starry sky.

Only three strikes, and the world defense system painstakingly crafted by the Alchemy School had been breached.

Without any mercy, the Civilization Devourer waved its hand, and legions surged like a tide to land on the World Ring.

The World Ring was a magnificent creation, and the Civilization Devourer did not intend to destroy it.

If all went well, this World Ring would be devoured and become the first collection since It broke the seal.

"You seem rather leisurely."

A voice suddenly came from behind the Civilization Devourer, and before it resonated in Its senses, a rune warhammer ablaze with Miracle Fire had already reached Its back.

Boom!

The Civilization Devourer's body was knocked back several thousand kilometers, its terrifying speed carving a vacuum in the Sea of Ether.

At its original position, a terrifying Ghost God with a red face and white hair, engulfed in Five-Colored Ghost Fire, stared menacingly at it.

In its hand, a warhammer blazed with golden Miracle Fire.

Moments ago, it was this hammer that had hurled It several thousand kilometers.

Richard gazed at the Civilization Devourer. Although this avatar resembled a Titan, Its inhuman aura was enough for any creature that had encountered the Civilization Devourer to recognize Its true identity.

"A Breaking Limit Level avatar—seems you've indeed recovered quite a bit."
