Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2991: 609: The Dragon King’s Three Treasures Arrive
Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
Two streams of Divine Tree Power were detected by me, one vast and one minor, both located within Nora.
For the time being, ignore the minor one since it's indistinct. Clearly, the vast one belongs to Pandora’s mother tree, which has advanced further thanks to the massive plane merger.
Once I fuse with it, I'll attain the supreme level and emerge as the new Origin Divine Tree. After endless cultivation at the universe's boundary, I've slowly learned bits about journeying to alternate universes, needing just the supreme power to test it out.
Remaining in this universe, even at supreme level, means bondage to the Star Ancestor, hindering true freedom. It's wiser to explore other realms and chase new prospects."
The Lou Luo Saint King declared:
"Supreme will, shall we depart from this universe?"
"Indeed."
"However... however, the laws in other universes may not favor us."
"Staying in this dead-end realm is far worse."
"You're right; if Nora fails against the Giant, everything stays stagnant like a still pond, blocking any advancement;
Even if Nora pulls off a win somehow, our special nature would draw hostility from those wizards, making existence tough."
"Thus, dispatch a handful to Nora, and in this chaotic war like none before, seize Pandora’s mother tree."
"Got it!"
...
"Dad, when do we get to explore the Nightmare World?
"Yeah, yeah, Uncle Dragon's stories are all I've got, but I've never tried it myself. They call it like diving into a game."
"Once I hit level 9, I wanna join the battlefield too."
The three 12-year-old siblings kept chattering non-stop in the Ancient Banyan Fairyland, wandering freely through the Three Realms with their steps.
Thanks to their position, the Dragon Clan pampered them even more than their own offspring.
Naturally, Levi refused to let the siblings turn into spoiled, arrogant "brats," so he enforced strict guidance on them.
In Elena’s recovery time after birth, she frequently shared Levi’s former "heroic exploits" with the three kids, holding him up as their model to embrace the way of "Prudence."
As time passed and they matured, the siblings began to wield the level 7 strength inside them, and Levi sometimes set up matches for them against level 7 mechanical warriors.
The siblings triumphed fully.
Right now, their key studies focus on breathing technique cultivation and battle skills, along with controlling their innate bloodline forces, to avoid accidental harm to others.
Levi also instructed them in the wizard path, and though still young, they've advanced to official wizards, progressing steadily without haste.
With the knight base they have, the siblings' starting longevity already exceeds that of primordial soul wizards, offering plenty of time to practice spells, experiment, and build their expertise.
Levi wishes for them to develop into scholarly talents focused on research.
Thinking back, folks in old times toiled in bustling cities mainly to give their kids a superior launchpad.
The three siblings possess an unmatched starting edge in Nora.
This represents the legacy wealth Levi bestowed upon them.
...
Eight years afterward.
Nora Calendar 2320, Blood Battle year 2208.
As a massive storm loomed, the Supreme Council in lately behaved like fervent builders, constructing continent bridges over the rising New Worlds and blazing trails.
Through immense labors, resources transformed nonstop into enormous arrays, defensive installations, wizard artifacts, and precious items, steadily bolstering Nora's might.
Schools across the board thrived and geared up vigorously for the conflict.
Following the Beast Master civilization's blend, the School of Spiritualism expanded fastest, boasting six Grand Wizards now, escaping its minor ranking and aiming high.
The School of Insects generated multiple Grand Wizards too, commanding the Zerg "Golden Blade Guest" that Levi fetched from the ancient tower.
Drawing on Dark Insects wisdom, generations of Golden Blade Guests multiplied, were raised, and refined, together with various bugs, forming an initial insect force in Nora.
To streamline oversight, the School of Spiritualism and School of Insects united as the "Spirit Binder School", where everyone using transcendent beings or bugs in fights gets called "Spirit Binders."
The Spirit Binder School sits in the second-tier category, mid to low, but misses a legendary fighter to claim independence.
To pick the shiniest school of this fresh era, the one aiding Nora Civilization most and shaping the war deepest, it's without doubt the "Mechanical School."
It combined with the classic School of Alchemy, pulled in experts from diverse areas, and with total backing from congress plus the Ancient Dragon Continent, it revolutionized Nora thoroughly.
Today, over ten bases build Star Castles alone, with more than five hundred operational across Nora’s lands, yet still short of what the civilization demands.
The pinnacle of mechanization is on the Ancient Dragon Continent without question.
Via Herman’s crew's toil, the old "Sky Dome", "Demon Extermination Shuttle", "Mechanical Warrior", "Swarm Scout"... alongside hundreds of mechanical inventions and systems, edge toward a historic mega merger.
Code name: [Mechanical Heavenly Court].
This forms a colossal fortress network from billions of mechanical units, covering scouting, attacks, firepower, continent shifting, and loads more capabilities.
A typical level 9 intruder here faces seamless teamwork from these machines, finishing off a takedown and cleanup without Guardians lifting a finger.
Yet building this full super grid demands computational strength and command beyond the "All Machines are One" stage; Herman must rise higher!
On that day.
Over the Mechanical Tower, a ghostly form woven from countless data threads burst from its metallic frame, climbing endlessly, evolving.
The Mechanical Celestial from his level 6 tribulation crossing resurfaced, illusory like a vision, visible yet beyond reach.
Herman scanned the surroundings... Anya, Eyre, Deep Space Wanderer, and fellow associates and companions directed warm looks toward him.
Levi showed up too, inquiring:
"Tower Master, prepared?"
Herman answered:
"Yes, the Heavenly Net's call reaches me now. Should I stumble this round, Deep Space Wanderer inherits my duties."
Levi responded:
"Until your return."
Hitting level 9 marks a vital leap for the Mechanical School. The prior Machine Sage Madison disappeared post-level 9, fate unclear.
Herman guesses he wanders lost in the Heavenly Net.
This round, Herman advances too.
The uncharted fills with dread.
After farewells to all, Herman shut his eyes, becoming a rising intent, fading into the cosmos, beyond even Levi's sensing.
Herman stands as the final remnant from Levi’s Gray Tower days.
"Success awaits..." he murmured.
...
"Herman, rise."
A call roused the Tower Master.
He blinked open to behold a breathtaking panorama, thousands of mechanical devices and vessels that could shatter skies and lands weaving through the cosmos.
Furthermore, god-like entities, colossal mechanical troopers radiating holy aura, fired particle beams from eyes or hands that vaporized stars instantly.
His mind roamed endless scenes, finally reaching the gleaming silver-white metallic sanctuary adrift in the void.
Orbiting the sanctuary were orbital bastions rivaling huge worlds, and crowning the structure loomed a statue stretching thousands of miles tall.
Catching its face, Herman's soul quaked.
"Machine Sage Madison?!"
