Magic!

Chapter 142 140. From Omela City to Wandering Earth

Many demon believers turned their heads to look at the dreamland of Thebes.

In the dream, Thebes, like Russell, was walking alone on the streets made of colorful bricks.

Other citizens in the entire city were thrown into underground prisons by her and became ritual sacrifices. They endured pain all day long and contributed to the operation of the perfect city.

"They are really two good talents, their methods are ruthless and resolute!"

"It seems that these two are the most outstanding ones in this entrance examination."

"The college student related to the Demon King in the prophecy may be one of them!"

Many demon believers praised him one after another.

The short red-robed Black Star wiped his forehead.

Judging from everyone's comments, Thebes, which I like, is at least tied for first place, and will not be overshadowed by the talents of Nocturne and Vermouth.

"Now that Russell and Thebes have reached a perfect ending, and the performance of other reference candidates has been confirmed, the assessment of the City of Dreams is almost over, right?"

The three red-robed demon priests are preparing to end this dream assessment and pull the examinee out of the dream city.

"Wait, Russell, what is he doing?"

Vermouth points again to Russell's dream.

After throwing the entire city into underground prisons to generate electricity, Russell, the mayor of the Perfect City, hasn't stopped yet.

"We must promote this fine tradition to the entire world!"

Standing on the highest lighthouse in the city, Russell looked at his great achievements and spoke of his future plans.

At the beginning, there was only one child as a sacrifice, and the magical energy extracted from the ceremony was enough to maintain the production and life of the entire city.

Now that tens of thousands of residents in the city are imprisoned in underground prisons, the energy released by the magic ritual is so exaggerated and terrifying that it is simply unimaginable.

Mayor Russell alone cannot fully control and make full use of such a terrifying supernatural energy.

He used his excess magical energy to create golems and raise dead bodies in public cemeteries.

In this way, Russell had a personal guard composed of golems and undead. He rides on a skeletal steed that burns with fire, followed by mithril golems, death knights, and drought demons.

Russell controlled the number of guards as much as possible, focusing on quality rather than quantity, so as to avoid too many units on the same screen and cause lag.

He led this absolutely loyal force composed of golems and high-level undead to the entire world outside the city.

The open world map in the dream was automatically generated based on Russell's subconscious.

Russell's army conquered city after city and country after country.

Every time this invincible thunder warrior conquers a city, it will throw all the people in the city into underground prisons, use the terrifying ancient rituals to sacrifice them, and use their pain to extract energy.

Hundreds of millions of sacrifices made Russell's army stronger and stronger.

Many people suffered in pain day and night, or died of hunger or disease. Their corpses stood up again at the moment they fell, turned into undead, and rejoined the invincible and invincible legion under Russell's command.

Russell's empire expanded dramatically.

He regarded the Mediterranean as his own inland sea; his fleet crossed the ocean and easily occupied South and North America; he also stationed troops in Antarctica and asked penguins to surrender...

…

The devil believers in the real world were all dumbfounded.

"It's a bit exaggerated..."

But, with the entire planet under his control, Russell's path of conquest has not yet stopped.

…

In Russell's dream.

I don’t know how many centuries have passed.

Alpha Centauri, or Alpha Centauri.

On a certain planet in this galaxy, aliens called Trisolarans are looking at the vast starry sky with astronomical telescopes.

At this time, a speeding spherical object suddenly appeared in the astronomical telescope.

"Führer, Führer, it's not good!" The aliens watching the sky discovered the coming danger.

"Earth, Earth is hurtling towards us!"

The earth wanders in the vast sea of ​​​​stars, passing through the stars at an incredible speed.

The coldness of the star sea made the atmosphere on the earth's surface solidify.

Mirror-smooth "ice" covers the entire world, reflecting the brilliance of the bright stars.

After imprisoning humans all over the world in underground cities for energy supply, Russell used this vast magical energy to push the entire earth and sail towards the nearest planet with intelligent life.

Today, the earth's only monarch stands on the surface of the boundless smooth earth, raising his chin slightly and looking in the direction of Alpha Centauri.

He envisioned in his mind the scene when the intelligent creatures from the next planet were imprisoned and became the nourishment for Omela City's magic ritual.

"What my sword points to is the frontier of the empire!"

…

In the real world, the red-robed and black-robed demon cultists fell into deathly silence at the same time.

Originally, there were demon believers who wanted to discuss who was the best member in this Chaos Red membership assessment.

But now, no one thinks this topic is worth discussing.

A few whispers broke the silence.

"This alien scene...why is there such a thing in the dream assessment?"

"They should all be generated based on the dream owner's subconscious mind, right?"

One of the black-robed cultists asked the friend next to him:

"Speaking of which, what was the original theme of this dream test?"

Another black-robed cultist thought for a long time and finally recalled:

"It seems to be adapted from the novel "The People Leaving Omela City". There is a child locked in the basement of Omela City, which is used as nourishment for rituals and provides energy for the operation of the entire city. Later, this topic was expanded and discussed Some philosophical issues and the like..."

"Now..." The two of them turned their attention to the dream scene floating above Russell's head.

The dream scene shows that the aliens from Trisolaris have been conquered by Russell's army, dehydrated in batches, and thrown into underground prisons wandering the earth as ritual nourishment.

The Wandering Earth Empire set sail again and embarked on an expedition. With new energy, this time it will directly start a space jump and teleport to the next galaxy.

…

I don’t know how long it took.

Russell woke up from his dream.

The young man rubbed his eyes, stretched, and moved his sore shoulders and neck.

He felt as if he had just finished a strategy game and felt very comfortable.

What a sweet dream.

It’s strange, the way everyone looks at me, something doesn’t seem right. Russell suddenly became alert.

The expressions of the surrounding demon believers looking at him were indescribably weird.

Could it be that the undercover identity was exposed?

No, it won't, otherwise they would do it now.

Russell comforted himself, stood up with the other candidates, and waited for the demon cultists to announce the results of the assessment.

(P.S. Some scenes in Russell's dream are adapted from Liu Cixin's novels "The Three-Body Problem" and "The Wandering Earth")
