The Synthesis Wizard-Chapter 316:The Ogre Ant Tribe

But during the transformation, a plane suddenly attacked the Hermes Plane.

The attackers were a race called the Ogre Ants. Their combat strength wasn't particularly high, but they were a race where every member was a soldier, with an overwhelming number of troops that was truly terrifying.

Just a single vanguard army of ant-men numbered in the tens of millions!

The golem army and the magic knight order stationed on the Hermes Plane were caught off guard from the start and were forced to retreat step by step.

Lady Lize urgently ordered Rose to lead a team to suppress the situation, which eventually brought it under control.

The only good news was that the Ogre Ants had no fourth-level powerhouses.

Their strongest, the King Ant, was only equivalent to a second-level Liquefaction Wizard.

Originally, with the strength of the Star Alliance, defeating a plane civilization without fourth-level powerhouses would have been easy. However, after discussing with Lord Su Nan, Lady Lize decided to use the battlefield against the Ogre Ants as a training ground for Wizard apprentices, deliberately reducing the military forces and prolonging the war.

Over the past century, the number of Ogre Ants killed by the Star Alliance reached four to five hundred million, until recently, when the Ogre Ants, unable to bear the losses, finally surrendered to the Star Alliance.

Only then was Rose able to extricate herself and return to the Starlight Continent.

That said, during her years stationed on the Hermes Plane, she wasn't particularly busy. She had plenty of time to cultivate and had earned a considerable amount of contribution points, making her gains quite substantial.

"I wonder how Lord Su Nan and Lady Lize plan to deal with the Ogre Ants?"

Rose pondered silently.

Although the Ogre Ants had suffered heavy casualties, they still had a population of nearly a hundred million. If not handled properly, they might cause trouble again in the future.

After a moment of thought, Rose shook her head and stopped overthinking. How to deal with the Ogre Ants was a decision for the two leaders, and it wasn't her place to interfere.

Just as she was about to control the wizard tower to descend, Rose's gaze swept over the distance and suddenly paused.

About seventy kilometers northwest of Starlight City, an enormous city stood prominently on the plains.

Centered around the city, countless golem teams were transporting materials towards it from all directions.

From a high altitude, it looked like diligent ants carrying food back to their nest.

"When did a city appear next to Starlight City?"

Rose was puzzled.

She had never heard of any plans by the Star Alliance to build a new city next to Starlight City.

Her eyes flickered, and she controlled the wizard tower to descend.

Not long after, Tagiana came to see her.

"Teacher."

The dark elf girl seemed happy to see her long-absent teacher.

Rose smiled slightly, asked a few questions about Tagiana's recent cultivation progress, and then inquired about the city.

The answer she received surprised her.

Sky City! It was actually the Sky City under construction.

Rose wasn't unaware of Su Nan's plan to build Sky City, but she hadn't expected the progress to be so fast.

In less than a century, the main structure of the city had already been built.

The speed was truly astonishing! Coming back to her senses, Rose felt a bit of joy.

If a Sky City could indeed be built, it would undoubtedly be a great boon for the Star Alliance.

For Wizards like her, it would also be highly beneficial.

After all, like wizard towers, the interior areas of Sky City had a wide range of active energy particle enhancement effects.

Especially since the effects of Sky City far surpassed those of wizard towers.

If one could secure a cultivation room near the elemental furnace in Sky City, it would significantly boost cultivation efficiency.

"Unfortunately, building Sky City will surely take a long time. By the time it's completed, it will likely be after I've advanced to a third-level Wizard."

Rose felt a bit regretful.

Her third Talent Crystal was already more than half filled, and she was just one step away from advancing.

Upon returning to Starlight Continent, she planned to use her contribution points to exchange for time in the Starlight Wizard Tower's cultivation room, secluding herself until she broke through.

"Scepter and Fakado went into seclusion over thirty years ago. They'll probably advance to third-level Wizards soon. I can't fall too far behind."

Above Sky City.

Su Nan hovered in the air, looking down at the main structure of the city with a satisfied smile.

Thanks to the basic materials obtained from dismantling Falling Star City, the time needed to collect materials was shortened, allowing the main structure of the city to be built so quickly.

"Next is reinforcing the main structure and laying the energy transmission network."

The main structure of Sky City wasn't complete just by being built.

It still needed to be reinforced with spells and enchantment techniques.

Only then could the main structure of Sky City reach the strength of a strategic defensive fortress, not shattering like ordinary rock structures upon impact.

Typically, Sky City had three layers of protection.

The first was a super-large energy shield, capable of withstanding any attack below the fourth level, as long as the density was below a certain intensity, it wouldn't be breached.

Additionally, this super-large energy shield could withstand energy pressure in special environments while maintaining the ecological balance inside Sky City.

The second protective barrier was the [Maze Defense System].

This was a top-tier construct integrating strategy, attack, and defense. Due to its enormous energy consumption, it would only activate during combat.

The final layer of protection was the strength of Sky City's main structure itself.

This layer would only come into play if the first two barriers were breached.

Of course, if it came to that, the strength of Sky City's main structure alone wouldn't be enough to turn the tide.

The reason for reinforcing the main structure was mainly to ensure that Sky City wouldn't be destroyed too quickly, buying time for escape via teleportation.

At the same time, reinforcing the main structure would make Sky City's structure more stable.

Especially during large-scale teleportations, the pressure from spatial jumps would be terrifying. A Sky City with insufficient strength would simply turn to dust.

Therefore, after the main structure was built, it needed to be reinforced to ensure it met the required strength.

As for laying the energy transmission network, it needed to be done both above and below ground.

The underground referred to the inverted cone-shaped mountain that served as Sky City's foundation.

Currently, Sky City's foundation was still connected to the ground. It would only separate completely when Sky City was completed and ready to ascend.

Su Nan also planned to fill the foundation with obsidian to reinforce the structure, ensuring the foundation would be stable when Sky City ascended.

Overall, the finishing work after the main structure was completed was equally daunting.

"Once these two tasks are done, we can start filling it with various core facilities."

"First, we'll set up the elemental furnace, then create the Tower Spirit Commander, which will allow us to monitor the construction progress of Sky City comprehensively."

With the Tower Spirit Commander, many minor tasks wouldn't need Su Nan's direct oversight, as the Tower Spirit Commander could handle them.

A moment later, Su Nan returned to the Starlight Wizard Tower and met Lize in the study.

"Rose just returned from the Hermes Plane. The Ogre Ants there have officially surrendered to us."

As soon as they met, Lize brought up the matter of the Ogre Ants.

Su Nan wasn't surprised.

The Ogre Ants were far weaker than the Star Alliance. The forces the Star Alliance had engaged on the Hermes Plane were just the tip of the iceberg of their military might.

The Ogre Ants had held out for so long, not only because of their large population but also because the Star Alliance had used them as training tools for Wizard apprentices.

"How is the Ogre Plane?"

"Preliminary exploration is complete. It's resource-poor and of little value, but there are many leyline nodes that can be used to open Sub-grade magic stone veins."

Su Nan nodded in understanding.

In the multiverse, truly valuable resource-rich planes were rare. Most were like the Ogre Plane, resource-poor and of little value.

For Wizard factions, without transforming the plane, such planes only had the value of using leyline nodes to open Sub-grade magic stone veins.

However, opening Sub-grade magic stone veins required Magic Stone Mothers, which were byproducts of large Magic Stone Mines and extremely rare.

Thus, Wizard factions generally didn't develop such planes frequently.

The Star Alliance, which was simultaneously opening Sub-grade magic stone veins in four or five planes, was unique.

"It seems we need to synthesize more Magic Stone Mothers," Su Nan thought to himself, then asked, "What about the Ogre Ants?"

Lize replied, "They're still on the Hermes Plane, guarded by the golem legion and the magic knight order. How do you plan to deal with them?"

Su Nan pondered for a moment, then said, "We'll disperse them and assign them to various resource points across different planes as laborers."

The surviving Ogre Ants numbered nearly a hundred million. If they were all placed on the same plane, it would be like a ticking time bomb.

Once their population recovered, they might cause trouble again.

The best approach was to disperse them.

The Star Alliance currently had 20 planes. On average, each plane would be assigned four to five million ant-men, then further dispersed across thousands of resource points, with only about a thousand ant-men per resource point.

If any disturbances arose, the golem armies stationed there could easily suppress them.

Coincidentally, the Star Alliance was currently vigorously developing new planes and urgently needed a large labor force. The ant-men, with their immense strength and endurance, were the perfect choice for laborers.

The nearly hundred million Ogre Ants would greatly alleviate the Star Alliance's labor shortage.

After a pause, Su Nan added, "Also, select some ant-men with excellent physiques to join the construction team for Sky City. Once Sky City is completed, they can stay in the city."

Sky City was massive, and supporting such a city would require a significant number of personnel.

Most of the labor could be handled by clay golems and stone golems, but some delicate tasks, especially service-related ones, were beyond the capabilities of golems.

Typically, service roles in Sky City would be filled by various humans, humanoid beings, bipedal species resembling humans, or fairies, elves, and other fey creatures.

Su Nan had been considering which races to populate Sky City with, and now that the Ogre Ants had come up, he decided to include them as one of the options.

Although the Ogre Ants' appearance was somewhat unsightly, they could still serve as the basic labor force in Sky City.

After discussing with Lize and finalizing the arrangements for the Ogre Ants, Su Nan left the Starlight Wizard Tower and returned to the Fallen Spirit Plane.

Deep underground in a cavern, Su Nan sat cross-legged, and with a thought, a panel appeared before him.

[Su Nan·Yanest, Male/True Spirit Wizard (Mastery Level)]

[Mastered Laws]

Law of Gravity: 16.59 Energy Level

Law of Thunder: 1.12 Energy Level

Over the past century, Su Nan had focused primarily on comprehending the Law of Gravity, only occasionally visiting the Thunder Element Plane to comprehend the Law of Thunder.

Thus, the Law of Thunder had only increased by less than 0.1 energy level since his advancement.

"The divine spark has been consumed quite a bit. It can only last for another hundred years or so."

Su Nan examined the divine spark in his hand, estimating that the remaining divine spark could help him raise the Law of Gravity to around 40 energy levels.

After that, without the divine spark's assistance, relying solely on synthesizing Law Power and Enlightenment Potions, it would take at least a thousand years to raise the Law of Gravity to the Manipulation level.

To quickly increase the energy level of laws, he would have to enter the Realm of Truth.

"Meisha hasn't sent any news yet. It seems finding the Mirror-Breaking Stone won't be easy."

With a light sigh, Su Nan put away the divine spark and didn't immediately start cultivating. Instead, he took out a Divinity Energy Crystal and began extracting Gravity Law Power, infusing it into the crystal.

Ever since he conceived the idea of mastering high-energy-level Law Power, Su Nan had immediately acted, conducting numerous experiments and attempts.

The result was that without a carrier medium, the maximum energy level of synthesized Law Power he could control was only about three times his current level.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.

In other words, he could now extract Law Power from the plane's essence and directly use the Magic Cube to synthesize Law Power of around 50 energy levels for combat.

Once his law energy level reached 34 or higher, he could control Law Power one level above his current realm!

Of course, since extraction and synthesis required a process, albeit a very brief one, in True Spirit Wizard-level battles, even a moment wa

s significant.

Thus, this method of extracting and synthesizing Law Power during combat to control higher energy levels wasn't very practical.

Su Nan quickly abandoned this approach and began researching methods that used carrier mediums.
