In comparison, Earth's civilization has very limited means to deal with the wizarding civilization. Not only is the vast ocean distance a constraint, but the sheer difficulty of getting ordinary spies to infiltrate wizarding organizations undetected is a massive challenge. Under these circumstances, the longer the conflict drags on, the more detrimental it becomes for Earth's civilization. It is for this reason that Earth's civilization has so far refrained from deploying its true "weapons" in this world; nuclear weapons and various revolutionary weapons developed with the support of other worlds have not been exposed to the wizards.
Not only Lin Yi, but everyone who was aware of the situation knew that continuing the war would be extremely detrimental to Earth's civilization. However, before that, Earth's civilization still held onto illusions. They attempted to intimidate the wizards by putting pressure on them and demonstrating their military might, thus buying precious time for Earth's civilization to develop on the west coast.
However, judging from the outcome, their actions were destined to be seen by the blind.
It makes sense. For Earth's civilizations with limited living space, a world war could easily result in mutual destruction or even the extinction of all humanity. With various restrictions limiting the problem to the political sphere, seeking a solution through political means is the best option.
However, the situation is entirely different for the wizarding civilization. Leaving aside the vast wizarding world itself, the countless other worlds they have conquered and invaded are enough to give them the confidence to overturn the table. Moreover, this is a world where the strong rule; the weak trying to intimidate the strong with weapons to negotiate? At least for the Five Rings Tower at this moment, that's completely impossible.
Under these circumstances, Earth's civilization has only one choice left.
"...The Earth Alliance is passing a war bill against these wizarding organizations, and results are expected soon."
Lin Yi was not surprised to receive this answer. Even if the war bill did not pass, Lin Yi had many ways to make it "pass". Of course, as before, he still had to give them some confidence: "This wizarding organization has also built a wizarding tower, but it is on the wizarding continent."
The diplomats perked up and silently memorized this crucial information.
"I believe that you have already discovered the classification of wizards in the past two years."
"Yes, from first-level wizard apprentices to third-level wizard apprentices, although they are regarded as wizards by the mortals of the West Coast, they can at most defeat medieval armies of the same level. They have little ability to resist the modern armies of Earth. On the other hand, formal wizards have the ability to pose a threat to modern armies. First-level and second-level formal wizards are still within the range that conventional weapons can deal with, but third-level grand wizards must activate specially made armor-piercing weapons and high-powered bombs. Not to mention the West Coast records, the Wizarding Continent also has Morning Star Wizards, Radiant Moon Wizards and Sun Wizards above the grand wizards."
As he spoke, the diplomat's face showed a helpless expression: "It is also because of the existence of these wizards that the Earth side has always been hesitant and dared not launch a large-scale war against the wizarding world. Instead, it has been barely holding on with the weapons and equipment of the old era."
Lin Yi neither confirmed nor denied this.
"The wizard tower they belong to is called the Bauhinia, a tower with five rings."
The diplomat's face turned pale instantly. As one of the few members who knew about the hierarchy of wizards and wizard towers, he knew very well what the Five Rings Tower meant.
—A Radiant Moon Wizard.
"However, he is not in the wizarding world right now."
"...What does this mean?"
"Literally, he is currently on an interdimensional expedition... similar to what you are doing to the Wizarding World. The Moon Wizard is trapped in that world and cannot return for a short period of time."
The diplomat's deathly pallor quickly faded, replaced by excitement: "So, there's no master inside that wizard's tower?"
"That's true, but no one can guarantee when he'll return. If a decision to go to war is made, it's best to do so as soon as possible; otherwise, we cannot rule out the possibility that we will withdraw from this war against the Five Rings Tower after that Radiant Moon Wizard returns."
The diplomat was taken aback for a moment before realizing what he meant: "You—the 'Main God Space' will participate in the war against the Five Rings Tower?!"
In a fit of emotion, he blurted out a certain conjecture.
He paused slightly as he walked away: "'The Main God Space' will not participate in the war, but I will."
P.S.: Fourth update
Wizarding Civilization: Chapter 769 The Space Mothership Prometheus
The following day, as expected, they received notification from Earth that the war plan had been approved, along with a request for a large-scale transfer of weapons of war.
Since the establishment of the portal, apart from essential industrial facilities and items that cannot be reproduced in this world, Earth's civilization has manufactured almost everything that can be produced in this world directly in this world. Firstly, this saves Earth the trouble of transporting resources to the portal—which is located on the summit of the world's highest peak—and secondly, it avoids the leakage of detailed information about Earth's civilization.
Since realizing that a wizarding civilization exists in this world that could threaten Earth's civilization, the Earth Alliance has always taken a relatively cautious approach to its actions in this world, especially when dealing with those from the Wizarding Continent. On the one hand, it has demonstrated human military power, but on the other hand, it has not pursued extermination. Instead, it has tried to achieve short-term peace in this way.
However, as the wizards unilaterally expanded the battlefield, the Earth Alliance had no choice but to abandon this unrealistic fantasy. With the formal activation of the War Act, the various war weapons that humanity had developed over the past few decades to target different alien civilizations officially landed on the west coast of Earth.
The first step is to go through the "portal".
Given the teleportation area of the portal, even if those war weapons were shrunk tenfold, they might not be able to pass through these large war vehicles. If they were disassembled and then teleported over, it would inevitably affect the timing of the battle, since no one could guarantee when the Moon Wizard of the Bauhinia Wizard Tower would return.
In this situation, paying a certain price to have the "Main God Space" directly transfer him from Earth to the Wizarding World was the only option. And with a reason to carry out the world transfer, Lin Yi returned to Earth immediately to see this epoch-making war machine that they had spent more than ten years building, with the otherworldly civilization as the hypothetical enemy.
"--The space carrier Prometheus is 3000m long, 820m wide on average, and over 300m high. Because it uses a special ore mined in Zone 1 (the Imperial Arms World) that is used to make those magical Imperial Arms and vassal equips, its strength and toughness far exceed that of ordinary metals."
"According to incomplete statistics, this aerospace carrier alone weighs over 5 million tons. In order to make it fly, we equipped it with 32 high-power anti-gravity engines—this was inspired by the second district (the Geass world)."
As the diplomat proudly introduced the space carrier whose face, after only half a day of hovering at a distance of 500 meters, had already obscured most of the industrial base, he casually glanced at the expression under the hood of the black-robed man beside him.
Unfortunately, even in the face of such an amazing and epoch-making creation, the other party still made no comment.
"...The weapon configuration on the space carrier is also different from that of a traditional naval warship. Although it also has fighter jets and bombers, its main combat force is a third type: large humanoid combat weapons!"
This time, Lin Yi became somewhat interested after getting his hands on it: "Knightmare?"
If there was anything in the Geass world that was ultimately wiped out by the virus that Lin Yi cared about, then besides the Akasha Records that had been taken away along with humanity and the surface ecosystem, it was only the Knightmare—large humanoid combat weapons powered by "Sakura Stones."
The diplomat, facing Lin Yi's question, did not try to hide it, since there would inevitably be contact later anyway, and there was no point in concealing it now: "Yes, after the research institute made adjustments, we found a series of facilities and technologies that are compatible with Sakura Stone Energy through the redevelopment of Zone 2, and reproduced this vehicle on Earth."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Although it has some shortcomings in other aspects, when paired with an anti-gravity flight system, the Knightmare becomes the most suitable vehicle for an aerospace carrier."
Lin Yi neither confirmed nor denied it.
After that, the diplomat introduced Lin Yi to mature weapons such as Gauss weapons, laser weapons, and individual combat exoskeleton armor, etc., which were born with the help and impact of resources from another world. Previously, due to concerns about the infiltration of wizards leading to the leakage of intelligence, the Earth Alliance had been trying its best to prevent these technologies from appearing in the wizarding world. However, with the approval of the war plan, they planned to move all their "assets" over at once.
Finally, after introducing all these things, the diplomat, as he was planning to take Lin Yi to the space carrier Prometheus to begin the transfer, seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "In addition, we also used the remaining craftsmen in District One to reproduce the technology for manufacturing those called 'Imperial Arms.' Although we lacked most of the data due to the disappearance of the Imperial Capital and could not reach the level of the ancient empire, we were still able to replicate 'Ministerial Arms' with some of the functions."
He stopped walking: "Is this your subject?"
The diplomat was taken aback: "You're interested in this?"
"I was the one who destroyed the capital city in District One."
—Using a "moonfall" move.
"Although I didn't write it down much, it might give you some advice."
After obtaining permission from their superiors, the diplomats were given the green light to proceed, as these "ministerial tools" were considered rather useless compared to Earth's achievements in technological weaponry.
Thirteen minutes later, Lin Yi stood in front of the hundreds of "ministerial implements" displayed in the showcase.
The efficiency of the industrialized world is indeed far beyond that of the feudal empires. Putting aside the power, the number of Imperial Arms that the ancient empires could produce with the full power of their nation is already obvious compared to the number of Imperial Arms that Earth produces now. This is only because Earth gradually gave up on adding more Imperial Arms after realizing that these "Imperial Arms" did not have the power they imagined. Otherwise, given the power of the assembly line, it might not be impossible for each of the billions of people on Earth to have one.
He casually picked up a dagger-shaped tool, and the scanner from the Main God Space immediately identified the tool at the atomic level.
K203 - Dagger (Servant's Tool)
Sharpness: 74 (50 for a normal metal dagger)
Strength: 81 (55 for a normal metal dagger)
Increased damage (slight)
"This weapon is considered one of the more effective weapons here, but it's only relatively sharp. Apart from that, we haven't found any special power in it that resembles the legendary Imperial Arms."
Naturally, even if special materials from a low-activity world are used, it would be strange to create "unscientific" weapons like Murasame or Romantic Turret in Earth, a world with zero activity, unless one were to re-acquire worlds with active concepts...
But that's what makes it interesting.
—That space carrier named Prometheus was made of this material, which is similar to that of a warship.
Wizarding Civilization: Chapter 770 Another World
Wizard Yin々〇$澪壹:柒事巫玖司⑨芭文明,异域世界。
The somber colors obscured the entire sky, with only the scarlet "full moon" suspended within it, resembling a ghostly realm.
However, if you get closer, you will find that the balling scar (five) 4 left ⑧ (seven) is not the so-called moon, but a metal object that stays in the sky, but it is just emitting a scarlet light all the time.
This is a domain from the Radiant Moon Wizard, enhanced by the "War Fortress." Of course, "domain" is what the wizards call this ability; in the eyes of Earth's civilization, this thing is more like radiation, and extremely deadly radiation at that.
This radiation is not only harmless to wizards, but it also enhances their magical abilities. However, to the races of this alien world, it is no different from that of humans, a terrifying "toxin" that kills instantly upon contact. This can be seen from the corpses below, bathed in scarlet "moonlight," their flesh slowly decaying.
On the 3174th day of their conquest of the alien world, the Bauhinia Wizard Tower has reached its most critical moment. If they can wipe out the last remaining races with royal blood hiding underground, this world will become one of the hundreds or thousands of subordinate worlds of the wizarding civilization, thus bringing a large amount of resources to the wizards of the Bauhinia Wizard Tower.
However, at this crucial moment, while there were no unexpected incidents in the alien world, the wizarding world experienced several unusual oversights.
With the destruction of the "avatar" that had briefly seized the core of the water element in the wizarding world, the Moon Wizard, who was stationed at the center of the war fortress, opened his eyes.
As the Moonlit Wizard acted, the "blood moon" hanging high in the sky became even brighter in an instant. The native creatures that were relatively safe hiding behind those shelters fell and rotted, triggering another massacre by the lower-level wizard apprentices.
The Moonlit Wizard, who had caused this commotion, ignored the disturbance at his feet and frowned. Below him, a Morning Star Wizard, who also belonged to the Five Rings Tower and had accompanied the Moonlit Wizard on this alien expedition, cautiously asked, "Lord Charles, may I ask what has happened?"
"...Trouble has arisen on the Wizarding Continent."
"trouble?"
There are very few things that even the Radiant Moon Wizard would call "troublesome." After filtering through the various pieces of information he had received from the Bauhinia Wizard Tower during this period, what remained was an unusual piece of information about the West Coast: "You mean the unknown forces on the West Coast?"
"Yes."
The Moonlit Wizard's furrowed brow remained unchanged: "One of my clones has been destroyed."
The Morning Star Wizard below was taken aback upon hearing this, then reacted with shock: "Could it be that another Moonlit Wizard made a move?!"
If the "trouble" mentioned by the Moonlit Wizard Charles earlier at least puzzled the Morning Star Wizard, then the fact that even his avatar was destroyed directly escalated to a level that was dangerous for the Morning Star Wizard himself.
How could the Morning Star Wizard not be shocked that such a threat existed in the peripheral region of a wizarding continent?
"Not like."
Charles dismissed the Morning Star wizard's slightly alarming conjecture, and he had ample reason to do so. The Tower Pact bound every wizard; any wizard above the Morning Star level was forbidden from engaging in direct hostile combat within the wizarding world to avoid causing excessive damage. Those Holy Spirit wizards who surpassed the Sun Wizard level required even strict procedures to descend upon the wizarding world; otherwise, their mere "domain" would turn an entire continent into a dead zone.
Speaking of which, when the original wizard towers were built by wizards, one of their purposes was to isolate the wizards' "domains" from the influence and destruction of mortals and their surroundings. Otherwise, those wizards would not have needed to build the wizard towers to such a high level. Wouldn't a vast land be more suitable for experiments than a narrow tower?
Based on this situation, the Moonlit Wizard did not believe that another Moonlit-level being had attacked his avatar.
"If a Radiant Moon Wizard were to attack the Bauhinia Wizard Tower, he would face the punishment of the entire wizarding world. No wizard in the wizarding world would be so unwise as to go to such lengths."
"Who could it be? Even if it's just a clone, the ability to destroy a Radiant Moon Wizard is something no ordinary wizard could do."
A single avatar, especially one separated from another world, obviously cannot provide Charles Stella with more information.
The reason he tampered with that level-three wizard was simply because the interdimensional war had reached a critical moment and he didn't want anything to happen at the Five Rings Tower. However, he didn't expect that even his avatar would be destroyed.
After losing contact with his avatar, all the Moonlit Wizard knew was that the situation on the West Coast had deteriorated again, and he couldn't get any more detailed information... unless he went there on his own initiative.
After much thought, the Moonlit Wizard suddenly spoke up: "Perhaps he is not a wizard."
Upon hearing this conclusion, the Morning Star Wizard was even more puzzled: "Not a wizard? Could it be that those sea creatures have disregarded the contract and attacked again?"
Shaking his head, the Moonlit Wizard rose from the throne that emanated from the main body of the war fortress beneath his feet: "Wizard Dorrance, I'll leave this place to you for now. I plan to return to the Wizarding World."
Morning Star Wizard Dorrance was somewhat surprised to hear this. After all, they had already spent a lot of time and were almost able to conquer this alien world, but the tower master of the Bauhinia Wizard Tower suddenly wanted to turn back... Could the situation have deteriorated to this extent?
"Your Excellency Charles, perhaps we can expedite the process."
Although the situation on the west coast was still unclear, the wizard Dorrance advised for safety reasons: "If we annihilate the remaining alien races as soon as possible, we can take the war fortress back directly."
Considering the tens of thousands of wizards and millions of contracted creatures within the war fortress, after a moment's hesitation, the Radiant Moon Wizard returned to the throne.
If the avatar had been destroyed after a difficult battle, he would naturally be confident that he could quell the chaos on the West Coast in a short time after returning to the wizarding world. However, judging from the last bit of information left before the avatar's demise, it was destroyed in an instant. Under these circumstances, the Moon Wizard also became more vigilant.
Without a doubt, it is much safer to bring a "war fortress" that is equivalent to a mobile wizard tower than to venture alone into the West Coast, which has become increasingly unpredictable.
His gaze swept over the turbulent battlefield below, and after making his decision, the Moonlit Wizard no longer hesitated: "Let's speed things up."
Wizarding Civilization: Chapter 771 War Fortress
Even with the "cheat code" of the God's Space Transfer Mechanism, it still took Earth nearly half a month to complete the war mobilization on the west coast of the Wizarding World.
While many people suggested transferring the space carrier directly to the Wizarding Continent, the proposal ultimately fell through because Earth's current adversary is only the Five Rings Tower, not the entire Wizarding Civilization. Doing so could easily provoke hostility from other Wizarding organizations.
As the invading civilization of Earth, it is destined that one day in the future they will stand against the entire wizarding civilization. However, before that happens, they will not be foolish enough to rush up and shout "I am the invader." The only way forward is to stay put and develop.
……
As the space carrier "Prometheus" completed its transfer, a "landmass" emerged from the eastern waters of the west coast, met with either shock or terror from the countless indigenous people who had been relocated there for resource transport. Its dark, imposing shape instilled a heavy feeling in everyone who saw it, not to mention the vast shadow it cast. Because it was located above the sea, if it had appeared directly above the heads of the natives on the shore, many would probably have collapsed to the ground begging for mercy by now.
Even so, the appearance of the space carrier "Prometheus" still had a huge impact on these natives, whom even wizards had only heard of in rumors. The morale of the people, which had been wavering due to long-term oppression, was also extinguished by this epoch-making weapon—no kidding, such a huge object could destroy any army just by falling.
This is also why Earth's civilization specifically instructed Lin Yi to move Prometheus to the vicinity of the coastline.
"We do not rule out the possibility of incorporating the indigenous people of the West Coast into the united human race of the Earth in the future, but necessary deterrence is still inevitable before we gain a real advantage over the wizarding civilization."
In previous expeditions to other worlds, Earth's civilization had already figured out a set of ways to deal with them, so naturally, there wouldn't be any basic problems. They would give the rewards they needed, but they also didn't skimp on the punishments they had to receive. This way, they could ensure that while the battle was raging on the front lines, there wouldn't be any rebellions by the native inhabitants at their bases.
However, the diplomat's "experienced advice" was destined to be a waste of time. Putting aside the fact that the God Space was completely inapplicable to their methods, for Lin Yi alone, this kind of "deterrence" was utterly meaningless.
If one person rebels, then eliminate that person; if a group of people rebels, then eliminate that group; if an entire race, a nation, a planet—or even the entire world—rebels, then eliminate an equal number of people.
The vast dimensional sea may lack many things, but the worlds with intelligent beings have never been lacking. At worst, we can just find another one; there will always be those who know not to resist.
Based on this mindset, Lin Yi did not pay attention to the "theory of coexisting with otherworldly races" that the Earth Alliance had developed over several decades. Instead, after the expeditionary force was ready, he directly issued combat orders to the automated humanoids through "Griffin" and "Terminal" and participated in the war against the Five Rings Tower.
With a deep hum as its anti-gravity engines started, the "Prometheus" led the way, followed by three fleets of over sixty warships of various types. They set off in a mighty procession from the eastern seas, heading westward.
------------segmentation--------------
The expeditionary force's large-scale operation, which was carried out without any attempt at concealment, was easily discovered by the wizards stationed nearby.
