The Synthesis Wizard-Chapter 278: A Freak More Monstrous than True Spirit Descendants

As the sun set, the war came to a close.

The Star Alliance began to clean the battlefield.

Reports detailing enemy kills and battle damage quickly arrived in front of Su Nan and Lize.

"The main force of the Black Sotar army is basically wiped out. The remaining few stragglers pose no real threat; they've essentially withdrawn from this struggle."

Lize flipped through the documents in her hand, speaking in a calm, measured tone.

"As for us, the greatest losses were in the air fleet. Out of thirteen air fleets, seven were completely annihilated. The remaining six have varying degrees of damage. If we break them up and reorganize, we can still field three fleets. Overall, our losses are close to eighty percent."

"Additionally, twenty-three Starfortresses were completely destroyed, and the remaining thirty are also damaged to varying extents. They will need repairs, which will take at least two to three months."

Su Nan nodded calmly.

The losses in the air fleets and Starfortresses were expected.

After all, their enemies were the Witch Towers.

The Star Alliance, having developed for such a short time, was at a clear disadvantage in numbers compared to the Witch Towers. The creation of the air fleets and Starfortresses was meant to make up for this shortcoming.

However, despite the enormous losses, the spoils were incredibly rich.

Among the spoils left by Black Sotar were no fewer than twelve Witch Towers!

Eight small-sized, three medium-sized, and one large!

After repairs and modifications, these twelve Witch Towers would be usable by the Star Alliance, greatly enhancing its military strength.

Compared to the twelve Witch Towers, the losses in the air fleets and Starfortresses now seemed insignificant.

"The Golem Legion suffered around 250,000 casualties, but we captured about 130,000 Black Sotar golem puppets from the battlefield. After erasing their spiritual marks and repairing them, they will be usable for us. The numerous wrecks can also be dismantled for materials, which will make up for some of the losses."

"The Magic Rune Knight Legion's losses were relatively minor, fewer than 10,000."

"There were 435 casualties among the Wizard-class puppets, but the puppets and wrecks captured from the enemy can also make up part of the losses."

"As for the wizards..." Lize paused and sighed, "Eighteen level-one wizards tragically lost their lives in battle."

Su Nan shook his head slightly but didn't speak.

Such is war—it's impossible to avoid casualties.

Especially since the Black Sotar army was far stronger than the forces from the Yuxi and Wolf Tide dimensions.

Had he not struck first, catching the enemy off guard, and taken down Elliot with a lightning-fast strike, even if the Star Alliance had ultimately won, the cost would have been several times greater.

Besides the Witch Towers and golem (wrecks), the spoils from Black Sotar also included fragments of divine corpses.

Although the number wasn't as large as the Star Alliance's previous finds, combined with those, the Star Alliance now had enough divine corpse fragments to fit into the palm of a hand.

"How should we deal with the divine corpse fragments?"

Lize put down the documents and looked at Su Nan.

"Our war with Black Sotar was so loud that other wizard factions must have heard about it by now. They probably know that the divine corpse fragments are in our hands."

"At the moment, aside from a few large wizard factions, we should have the most divine corpse fragments. It's likely that many of them are coveting it."

Su Nan, well aware of this, replied without hesitation, "The research on the divine corpse fragments is nearly complete. Once the divine energy is extracted, we'll pass this hot potato to the Wisdom Codex."

Lize smiled slightly and nodded, "It would be best to make a big show of it so the other factions are aware."

The wizard factions coming here were mostly after the divine corpse fragments. Without any interest, even the Dark Throne, who held grudges against the Star Alliance, wouldn't have bothered with it.

Lize acted quickly and sent an escort to deliver the divine corpse fragments to the Wisdom Codex' headquarters with great fanfare.

As expected, once the fragments were handed over, surveillance around the Star Alliance base diminished significantly.

From then on, the Star Alliance stopped sending forces to search for more divine corpse fragments and focused instead on recuperating, gradually repairing their various war machines and golem puppets.

As time passed, the remaining unclaimed divine corpse fragments grew fewer, and the various wizard factions shifted their focus to each other. Small and large skirmishes broke out frequently, and the atmosphere of the entire Earth Crystal dimension became tense, filled with the scent of gunpowder.

By the fourth month of the Earth Crystal dimension's blockade, the Dark Throne launched a surprise attack on the Sea King Whale faction's base, obliterating their forces.

After Black Sotar, the Sea King Whale was the second wizard faction to be eliminated.

The Dark Throne's attack seemed to open a floodgate, and war suddenly erupted between the wizard factions.

Almost every day, different factions were at war, their battles relentless.

In this environment, the Star Alliance base became one of the few places of peace.

After the Star Alliance handed over the divine corpse fragments, the affiliated organizations of the Wisdom Codex followed suit, delivering their own "hot potatoes."

With the situation worsening, the Wisdom Codex began calling on its affiliated organizations to assist in battle.

Cyril even personally visited the Star Alliance base, hoping to convince them to join the war.

However, Su Nan explained that the Star Alliance had just gone through a heavy battle and needed time to recuperate, only sending two large golem legions as a form of compromise.

Cyril had no choice but to take the two golem legions back.

This endless cycle of conflict continued for two months until one day, an event occurred that made all the wizard factions pause their attacks.

"So, the reason they stopped was because they found the head of the Toxic King?"

In the council hall, Su Nan, after hearing Xieman's report, wore a thoughtful expression.

"Yes, teacher," Xieman confirmed confidently, "The head was found in a secluded forest. The Deep Blue Alliance, Dark Throne, Star Spirit Bell Tower, and the Bloodline Jungle have all locked it down and are in a standoff. The other wizard factions are heading there as well."

After two months of war, only about a dozen wizard factions remained in the Earth Crystal dimension, four of which were affiliated with the Wisdom Codex.

"It shouldn't be," Fakado raised a doubt, "The entire Earth Crystal dimension has been searched thoroughly, even the deep sea, but there's been no trace. Why was the Toxic King's head only found now?"

Xieman shook his head. "I don't know."

Lize took over the conversation, saying, "Cyril came again this morning, asking the Star Alliance to join the others at the Toxic King's head location. It seems the Wisdom Codex has now made up its mind to compete for the head."

"Should we agree?"

Everyone turned their gaze to Su Nan, waiting for his decision.

Su Nan sat at the head of the table, his eyes flashing with thought.

The divine corpse struggle had been ongoing for half a year, yet the question that had initially troubled him still hadn't been answered.

Why had the struggle turned into a wizard civil war?

Though the wizard factions had fought fiercely recently, their forces in the Earth Crystal dimension were only a small fraction of the total.

Compared to the entire wizard world, these were mere skirmishes. True Spirit Wizards hadn't even truly entered the fray.

Once they left the Earth Crystal dimension, everything would return to normal.

If things continued as they were, there wouldn't be any wizard civil war.

Unless something monumental happened during the latter stages of the struggle that could spark a civil war!

And now it seemed that the head of the Toxic King might just be that spark.

Was there something hidden in the location of the head?

In a flash of insight, Su Nan quickly devised a plan and spoke in a deep voice, "Agree to the Wisdom Codex's request. The army will immediately head to the location of the Toxic King's head."

He paused for a moment, then added,

"But the Star Alliance will not participate deeply in the battle. Upon arrival, our forces will stay on the outskirts, keeping their distance and preparing to retreat at a moment's notice."

The others exchanged confused glances, not fully understanding Su Nan's reasoning.

Lize was the first to catch on, frowning. "Do you think there's danger there?"

"There's a possibility."

Though it was merely a guess without concrete evidence, Su Nan didn't elaborate.

"The main forces fighting for the Toxic King's head will surely be the large wizard factions. Our participation will be little more than a sideshow. There's no need to exert too much effort. We'll send just enough to maintain face and leave as soon as necessary."

Everyone considered this, agreeing with the reasoning.

Though as an affiliated organization of the Wisdom Codex, they were obligated to help in the battle, they couldn't afford to commit all their forces.

After all, their opponents were large wizard factions, and overexerting themselves could lead to heavy losses.

Moreover, the Star Alliance's forces in the Earth Crystal dimension already far outnumbered the other affiliated organizations, even with a partial deployment.

The Wisdom Codex wouldn't dare protest.

Seeing no further objections, Su Nan immediately gave the order.

"Set out at once!"

"Understood, my lord."

The command was quickly obeyed.

Soon, the Star Alliance base became bustling with activity.

After four months of repairs, the air fleets and Starfortresses damaged in the Black Sotar battle were all restored.

Though the Witch Towers hadn't fully recovered, they had regained flight capability.

One after another, the Witch Towers and Starfortresses, accompanied by a swarm of magic ships, began rising from the Star Alliance base, flying toward the destination, blocking out the sky.

On the ground, the golem puppets marched in neat columns, their ranks stretching into the distance, seemingly without end.

When the Star Alliance army arrived near the forest, they quickly attracted the attention of the major wizard factions.

**Deep Blue Alliance Headquarters.**

A group of wizards stared at the image of the Star Alliance's army on the light screen, their expressions filled with surprise.

"A third-rate wizard faction, yet they can bring in so many troops?"

"Not just that, the Star Alliance fought Black Sotar, and their losses must have been heavy. They probably had even stronger forces at first."

"What kind of faction is the Star Alliance? A wizard faction from a blocked dimension is capable of this much?"

"What does Lord Galle think?"

The group turned to the young man sitting at the head of the table.

He was handsome, tall, and had rare sea-blue hair.

This hair was often a sign of True Spirit descendants in the Deep Blue Alliance.

Facing the gaze of the group, Galle smiled faintly.

"Compared to the Star Alliance, I'm more interested in their leader."

"Are you talking about Su Nan?" a wizard asked thoughtfully. "According to intelligence, Su Nan single-handedly eliminated over 200 level-one wizards from Black Sotar in the recent battle, securing the victory."

"Over 200 wizards? Are you sure about the intelligence?" someone questioned.

"It's true." Galle's sharp eyes stared at the light screen. "If nothing changes, Su Nan will undoubtedly ascend to become a True Spirit Wizard. It won't be long before the Star Alliance becomes a second-tier wizard faction."

Hearing Galle confirm the accuracy of the intelligence, the group stopped doubting, and admiration filled their faces.

Eliminating over 200 level-one wizards with a single strike—few, even among True Spirit descendants at level-three crystallization, could achieve such a feat!

And Su Nan was still only at level-three liquefaction!

Once he breaks through to level-three crystallization and begins to comprehend the power of rules, how much stronger will his abilities be?

Such a person is more monstrous than even a True Spirit descendant!

"The Wisdom Codex got lucky to discover such a talent."

"If we had known, we should have entered the Starshine Continent first. Maybe we could have absorbed the Star Alliance into our organization."

"Perhaps we could poach him?"

Hearing the murmurs around him, Galle remained unmoved, a flicker of something unusual passing through his eyes.

He had once thought that the younger generation would be dominated by their True Spirit descendants, but now Su Nan, this freak, had appeared.

Not a True Spirit descendant, yet his talent surpasses many True Spirit descendants!

Such a figure will surely carve out a place for himself in the wizard world!

**Meanwhile, Dark Throne Headquarters.**

A group of Dark Throne wizards were also watching the Star Alliance's army.

However, the entire council hall was eerily quiet, with no one speaking in hushed tones.

Everyone either stared at the light screen, contemplated in silence, or subtly observed the figure seated at the head of the table—Boben.

Everyone in the room knew that it was Boben's father, Lord Wood, who had initially sent Yuxi to invade the Starshine Continent.

When the Star Alliance killed Yuxi and annexed the Wolf Tide dimension, it was a major blow to Lord Wood's reputation.

Had it not been for the Star Alliance later becoming an affiliate of the Wisdom Codex, Boben would have already led an army to attack the Starshine Continent.

Even so, to this day, Boben still harbored a grudge against the Star Alliance.

If not for the priority of the divine corpse fragments, he might have already acted against the Star Alliance.

After a long silence, Boben finally withdrew his gaze from the light screen and broke the silence.

"How is the situation in the forest?"

Matick, sitting to his right, immediately responded.

"We've pinpointed the location of the Toxic King's head. It's in a cave, but there are over sixty divine creatures nearby. A lightning-fast strike to seize the head seems unrealistic."

Boben furrowed his brow and said in a low voice, "What about the other factions?"

"The Deep Blue Alliance and the Bloodline Jungle have sent people here to talk. It looks like they intend to split the Toxic King's head among themselves."

At this point, Matick paused and cautiously glanced at Boben before continuing.

"Given the current situation, no faction will be able to take the head without facing opposition from the others. Even if one does manage to secure it, they'll likely face attacks from the others. So, I think splitting the head might be a good option."

Boben fell silent for a moment and then nodded slightly.

"Let's talk."
