Wizard: I Can Refine Everything-Chapter 168 - 68 Sealing the Mother Worm God
Chapter 168: Chapter 68 Sealing the Mother Worm God
Clad in his white robe, the Wizard took one step forward, and his figure instantly vanished.
In the sky, both the Mother Worm God and the Black Tower Great Wizard sensed a sudden, overwhelming presence.
Unlike the Mother Worm God’s panic, the Black Tower Great Wizard revealed a ferocious smile, “Insect, how come you’re speaking now?”
An azure Ice figure suddenly appeared beside the Black Tower Great Wizard, then swiftly expanded to nearly a hundred meters in size.
“Qing Shuang, what do you think of this Slave World?”
The Great Wizard Qing Shuang glanced at the insects on the ground, “A very nice world. Resources are yours, but I’ll take half of the slaves.”
...
Upon hearing these words, the Black Tower Great Wizard’s body trembled, a pained look on his face,
“The cost for your intervention is indeed steep.”
The Mother Worm God watched the suddenly appearing Wizard with a heightening alertness of twelvefold.
It could see that this wasn’t the Wizard’s true form, that the strength of the avatar was only a fraction of the original body.
However, its intuition warned it not to underestimate this Wizard simply because he was an avatar.
“This insect is quite troublesome to kill,” said the Great Wizard Qing Shuang as he looked at the Mother Worm God. “This avatar of mine only has a third of my main body’s power. You keep it occupied, and I’ll seal it with my Sealing Skill. How does that sound?”
The Black Tower Great Wizard nodded, “As you wish.”
After that, the Black Tower Great Wizard’s black robe suddenly expanded, and his domain, first seen when he encountered the Mother Worm God, appeared once again.
The Mother Worm God emitted a low hum, and the Insect Tide on the ground paused briefly before beginning to retreat.
And it finally started to move.
From its center, a grand golden light spread outward. Within the range covered by the golden light, countless insect shadows began to rise.
This technique was known as Divine Country in the Gods Civilization, and there was a similar technique in the Wizard World, the domain cast by the Black Tower Great Wizard.
Only a domain can counter a domain.
The Mother Worm God was confident. Even with two Great Wizards present, it could rely on the world’s protection to stabilize the situation.
The two domains crossed paths, and a chaotic boundary line was born from this encounter.
On the boundary line, the heroic spirits of the insects charged towards the indescribable entities within the domain of the Black Tower Great Wizard.
These insects were all renowned figures within the Black Crystal Worm Clan. They were High Priests and Great Commanders, and in life, they were below one worm and above ten thousand worms.
Compared to these heroic spirits, the indescribable entities within the Black Tower Great Wizard’s domain seemed slightly inferior, and his domain was steadily diminishing in range.
However, this did not please the Mother Worm God. Its gaze shifted towards the Great Wizard Qing Shuang, who felt increasingly dangerous to it.
Suddenly, the Great Wizard Qing Shuang stretched out his palm, and a bunch of ever-spreading azure ice frost appeared within it, while his own presence rapidly weakened.
The Mother Worm God shuddered the moment it saw the ice frost.
It knew the Wizard’s purpose now.
The golden Divine Country began to shrink rapidly, and the Mother Worm God used its Blade Arm to slice open the Void, ready to flee this place.
But within the Void, tentacles had been waiting for it.
The Great Wizard Qing Shuang hurled out the ice frost. The Mother Worm God could not avoid it and was struck by the frost.
In the next moment, a layer of azure frost began to spread continuously along the body of the Mother Worm God. Despite its efforts to stop the frost with golden light, the ice frost continued to proliferate.
“Dead Silence Ice Mountain Sealing Technique… seems like you’ve strengthened it a bit,” the Black Tower Great Wizard said with some surprise, looking at the spreading frost, “It seems you’re not far from the Five Rings.”
Great Wizard Qing Shuang replied indifferently, “I’ve had some breakthroughs in my research lately, and I’ve slightly refined it.”
The Dead Silence Ice Mountain Sealing Technique was Great Wizard Qing Shuang’s signature skill. Ever since his Apprentice days, he had been perfecting this Sealing Skill, and now as a Great Wizard, even the World Master could be sealed by it.
The Mother Worm God struggled fiercely; every movement of its massive body possessed immense power, and the golden light on its body was as dazzling as the sun.
Large chunks of azure ice frost continuously fell off, but the Mother Worm God’s movements grew slower and slower.
Richard stood on the ground and switched his view to Energy Vision.
Within the frost on the Mother Worm God, countless intricate energy pathways built an extremely complex three-dimensional structure. This structure replicated itself continuously, then connected with the old structure, forming a giant net tightly enveloping the Mother Worm God.
The ice frost was extracting energy from the Mother Worm God to facilitate its replication and spread; the more fiercely the Mother Worm God struggled, the faster the ice spread.
Suddenly, Richard lowered his head and rubbed his eyes; a tear of blood dripped from the corner of his eye.
“Hissss, the brilliance of this witchcraft is truly dazzling.”
…
Half a day later, the last part of the Mother Worm God’s body was encased in ice, and a golden light shot out from the black crystal between its brows, disappearing into the Void.
Despite the Black Tower Great Wizard’s obstruction, the golden light could not be intercepted.
But none of that mattered.
With ninety-nine percent of the Mother Worm God’s power captured in its body now sealed by the ice mountain, even if a part of its soul escaped, it was of no consequence.
The world had lost its trump card in resisting.
With a thunderous crash, the azure ice mountain fell from the sky, and the trapped Mother Worm God inside looked like an insect encased in amber.
“This insect’s power is not simple. This seal will probably last us five hundred years,” the Great Wizard Qing Shuang said indifferently. “The ice mountain will collapse on its own after five hundred years, by then, I hope you’ll be ready.”
After all, to claim half the slaves of this world, some after-sales service was mandatory.
“Five hundred years… sufficient,” the Black Tower Great Wizard said, shrinking to the size of only a few meters and flew to the center of the Floating City.
He shouted down to the Wizards on the ground,
“Good people, the World Master of the Insect Nest World has been sealed by me and the Great Wizard Qing Shuang. This Plane War, we’ve already won!”

“Oh!”
“Victory!”
“I survived! I survived!”
The wizards on the ground instantly erupted into jubilation, embracing one another regardless of acquaintance, to celebrate the war victory.
As long as the World Master is dealt with, even a multitude of remaining insects is nothing but slaves.
…
Three days after the decisive battle.
“Master, that’s what happened. I’m not sure how such behavior should be handled in a war.”
In a room of the Command Tower, Richard sat opposite Susanna and recounted his experiences in the Third War Zone, providing evidence as well.
“Encountering the enemy and retreating… This can be a serious or minor issue.”
Susanna leaned back in her chair, holding a bone pipe in her hand.
“However, since you’ve come to me, it obviously won’t be a small matter. That boy will have to cough up a hefty sum of Magic Stones even if he doesn’t face a military tribunal.”
Susanna took a Crystal Ball out of her pocket and spoke into it.
“Bring me the records for the Third War Zone in room 4012.”
Shortly after, a wizard knocked and entered the room, holding a substantial iron-covered book with a lion’s head embossed on the cover.
Susanna took the book and tapped the lion’s head.
“Book Spirit, wake up, find the information about Fortress 351.”
The lion’s head suddenly opened its eyes and yawned like a human.
“Susanna, you always like to interrupt one’s sweet dreams.”
Then the book opened, and words started to appear on the empty pages.
“Let’s see, Commander Lukash of Fortress 351… What? Forced to retreat after encountering War Giant Worms?”
As Susanna read the text in the book, she frowned; the records differed completely from Richard’s account.
The records portrayed Fortress 351 as performing exceptionally during the war, retreating due to the irresistible force of War Giant Worms.
This was clearly different from what Richard had said.
“Alright, alright, false records,” Susanna snapped the book shut and flames danced about her without any wind.
“Richard, are you certain there’s been no falsification in your records?”
Richard adopted a serious expression: “Of course not, otherwise how could I dare to ask for your help?”
Susanna’s lips suddenly curved into a sly smile:
“Kid, follow me, let’s make some extra cash.”
…
At the headquarters of Wizard Legion Unit 1, Legion Commander Andre looked somewhat vexed at the woman before him.
“Great Wizard Susanna, just tell me, what exactly do you want?”
“Legion Commander Andre, what kind of question is that?” Susanna put down her teacup, “You make it sound as if I’m here to extort you.
I’ve merely noticed some discrepancies in the records, so I came to verify with you.”
Hearing this, Andre couldn’t help but sigh; how unlucky were the schemers inside the legion, getting caught falsifying records.
And to be caught by Susanna no less.
Everyone knew Susanna was the only surviving Apprentice of the Black Tower Great Wizard, and she could do anything in this war as long as she was justified.
“Master, please name your price, how can we resolve this issue?” Andre sat opposite Susanna and pulled a Soul Contract out of his pocket.
“What are you doing?” Susanna’s brow furrowed, “Openly offering a bribe?”
Andre cursed silently but maintained his composure, “Bribe? What I’m proposing is to strike a fair deal with you, Great Wizard Susanna, based on the principle of equivalent exchange.
Our legion needs you as our consultant for Shaping Magic, here is your contract.”
Susanna nodded in satisfaction and carelessly filled in a number on the contract.
Andre winced at the number—it was just above his bottom line.
“Master, you know how to do business.”
Andre reluctantly signed his name, and as the contract burned to ashes, an invisible chain connected the two of them.
“That’s just experience, nothing more,” Susanna smirked cunningly, then took out a document containing information about Fortresses 351 and 352.
“The other mistakes in your work are inconsequential, but these two fortresses need to be addressed. Fortress 352 valiantly held out for six hours in the face of War Giant Worms until my order for a full retreat was given.
Meanwhile, Fortress 351 fled upon encountering the enemy, even attributing the War Giant Worms encountered by Fortress 352 to themselves.
This is unacceptable.
The central command has decided to commend all members of Fortress 352, while the Commander of Fortress 351 is to be brought before a military tribunal.”
Andre glanced at the Commander of Fortress 351 and said coldly:
“Do as you see fit, Master.”
“Oh?” Susanna looked surprised, “Seems like something happened.”
Andre shook his head:
“Nothing major, just that the kid’s grandfather passed away.”
