Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves-Chapter 460 - 266: This Is a Wizard! (2)

"Yes." Wizard Shen Yu nodded slightly, but then sighed softly, "but this is not entirely good news."

"That’s right." Villy obviously misunderstood something and nodded slightly at this moment, "For you, for us, it’s not good news. Clearly, your compatriots intend to thoroughly control our world, and we simply have no ability to resist, right?"

Wizard Shen Yu was not surprised by this misunderstanding.

Because, from the perspective of Wizard Society’s culture, this is the first reaction when encountering a powerful civilization.

The Wizard World is extremely utilitarian.

Here, there is not much kindness nor morality. Although there are emotions, all emotions are built on the basis of interests.

Even between Villy and Wizard Shen Yu, it’s the same.

The affection between master and apprentice is not weak, but all of this is built on the foundation that Wizard Shen Yu is qualified to become Villy’s apprentice.

Therefore, they frantically invade other civilizations and, naturally, believe that other powerful civilizations will invade them.

However, Wizard Shen Yu shook his head.

"If that’s the case, it’s not a bad thing, isn’t it?"

"Yes." Villy smiled.

Wizards do not fear power.

If a civilization powerful enough to overwhelm the Wizard Civilization were to invade them, they would straightforwardly surrender and hope to gain power and control the unknown from the opponent.

After all, they have been growing under strong power since they were wizard apprentices.

Growing even by unscrupulous means.

So-called order is just built on grander interests rather than so-called morality, or emotions, or self-esteem.

"They don’t care about civilizations like ours, at least the existence that truly threatens our civilization wouldn’t care." Wizard Shen Yu’s expression also became serious, "But, I despairingly found that the reason I came here has a reason, every Gray Mist Walker is thrown into a world, destined to be a civilization that will inevitably be destroyed; in other words, we do not control a civilization through invasion, but through salvation."

"Oh?" Villy easily comprehended the logic within.

This was a bit different from what she imagined.

But since it comes from a greater world power, it being entirely unknown and different from imagination is not strange.

Especially, the next moment, Wizard Shen Yu gave a more vivid answer.

"Our organization is called the ’All Heavens World Apocalypse Civilization Mutual Aid Association’!"

At this moment, Villy was completely enlightened.

Just a name was enough to form a clear concept for her.

She even guessed the main reason why this apprentice came to find her and fully informed her.

"You hope to hide yourself and then use my identity and status to understand what will happen to our civilization?" Villy said. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Although she used a question, it was actually a statement.

She immediately began to think.

No questioning, or more precisely, questioning directly whether the apocalypse crisis was actually brought by this association.

This kind of suspicion holds little meaning.

It’s akin to apprentice wizards struggling in chaotic places within the city not needing to doubt if the dangers they face are deliberately arranged by the Wizard Alliance.

Although Villy now holds a high status and powerful strength, adjusting her emotions and self-definition back to an ordinary level is very smooth.

No discomfort at all.

This is a wizard.

Most importantly, she really thought of a possibility!

"This is a secret strictly controlled by the Wizard Alliance." Villy slowly drank a sip of tea, her expression solemnly stated, "Only wizards of Level Seven and above can know a little, and it’s written into the Heaven and Earth Laws. If your status is not level seven, even if I told you, once you leave my Wizard Tower, you would instantly forget everything."

"Such a level of confidentiality!" Wizard Shen Yu inhaled slightly.

Just from Villy’s expectations, he had a gut feeling of "this is it"!

"Simply put, Level Ten Wizards are seeking a way to break through to Level Eleven." Villy said, "And their test subject is an enemy that has also reached Level Ten, prepared to let them evolve to Level Eleven."

"...so dangerous?" Wizard Shen Yu was a bit shocked.

This is an enemy!

A Level Ten enemy, such an existence, has hardly appeared in Wizard Civilization’s long history of battle across Plane for tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years.

Yet those top wizards intend to let the enemy evolve, elevate a level?

If they fail, it is one thing, but if they succeed, Wizard Civilization will be doomed!

"Those top wizards are almost insane." Villy sighed lightly, "But it’s not incomprehensible, unknowns are too tempting for wizards, this has become an instinctual pursuit, the stronger they are, the more so!"

"..." Wizard Shen Yu fell into silence.

In fact, even after knowing other worlds and paths, he still has a feeling in his heart.

The wizard path may be one of the most powerful paths.

Such a pursuit of the unknown, pursuit of knowledge, pursuit of truth, really has too much allure.

But now it seems.

Any path, once goes to an extreme, easily self-destructs!

This is fundamentally uncontrollable.

Even apprentice wizards know not to pursue understanding knowledge beyond their grasp and comprehension otherwise they could easily suffer backlash from the knowledge.

But those strongest wizards seem to have forgotten this point.

"If the reasons for destruction really stem from this, should the plan just be terminated, and the test subject destroyed before success to resolve the crisis?" Wizard Shen Yu couldn’t help but ask.

"Too naive." Villy was somewhat displeased, "A Level Ten Wizard of that tier, wouldn’t they be aware of the danger, their minds lost in the pursuit of knowledge process, even knowing the result of civilization destruction, they wouldn’t hesitate—unless the association you mentioned could directly wield absolute power, but I guess, they won’t do this, otherwise you would not have come to me, and the association’s system wouldn’t just be a ’Mutual Aid Association’."

Clearly, Villy has basically seen through the essence of the association.

Even has her doubts within.

But still, like every strong being in powerful civilizations, there’s only belief when facing reality before them despite any doubts.

At this moment, Wizard Shen Yu also had to admit.

The association doesn’t have such power, nor will they exert it.

This leaves him a bit confused.

So, how can this world be saved?

From the current situation, the entire civilization’s destruction is most likely in an instant—the moment Level Eleven exists successfully.

"You know, the Wizard World’s hierarchy is very strict." Villy saw something in Shen Yu’s thoughts, her expression eased, even with a light laugh, "The level you hold grants the knowledge you master and the permissions. You want to save this civilization, there’s only one way—enhance your status power, or mine."

This statement is indeed absolutely correct.

However, Wizard Shen Yu could only shake his head.

"I can directly reach such a tier, it’s already the limit, this counts as a form of association help, beyond this, I can only earn the association’s evaluation myself." He looked at Villy again, yet couldn’t help but sigh lightly in his heart.
