Chapter 554 - 315: Ogre Ant Race (2)

Under normal circumstances, the Floating City has a total of three layers of defense.

The first layer is a super-large energy shield, capable of withstanding any attack below level four. As long as the density is below a certain intensity, it is unlikely to be breached.

In addition, this super-large energy shield can also withstand energy pressure in special environments while maintaining the ecological balance within the Floating City.

The second layer of defense is the [Maze Lock Defense System].

This is a top-level integrated structure of strategy, attack, and defense. Due to the enormous energy consumption, it only activates in combat situations.

The final layer of defense is the strength of the Floating City’s main body itself.

This layer only becomes effective if the previous two barriers are breached.

Of course, if it ever reaches such a point, relying solely on the main body’s strength of the Floating City would no longer be able to reverse the situation.

The main reason for reinforcing the Floating City is to prevent it from being quickly collapsed, as much as possible, to buy time for teleportation and escape.

At the same time, reinforcing the main body also makes the structure of the Floating City more stable.

Especially during the super-large scale teleportation of the Floating City, the pressure from spatial jumping can be terrifying, and a Floating City without sufficient strength would turn to dust directly.

Therefore, after constructing the main body of the Floating City, further reinforcement and hardening are necessary to ensure that its strength meets the standards.

As for laying the energy transmission network, it must be arranged underground in addition to surface buildings.

The so-called underground refers to the inverted conical peaks that serve as the foundation of the Floating City.

Currently, the foundation of the Floating City is still connected to the ground, and in the future, when the Floating City is completed and lifted into the air, it will completely detach.

Sunan also plans to fill the foundation with obsidian to reinforce the structure so that there will be no concern about the foundation’s stability when the Floating City ascends in the future.

Overall, the finishing work after constructing the city’s main body is equally astonishing in workload.

"Once these two tasks are completed, we can then fill it with various core facilities."

"First, bring out the Elemental Melting Furnace, then create the Tower Spirit Commander, so that it can comprehensively monitor the construction progress of the Floating City."

With the Tower Spirit Commander, many small chores won’t require Sunan to keep an eye on them; they can be entrusted to the Tower Spirit Commander for management.

A moment later, Sunan returned to the Starlight Wizard Tower and met Lize in the study.

"Rose just returned from the Hermes Plane, and the Ogre Ant Race there officially surrendered to us."

As soon as they met, Lize mentioned the matter of the Ogre Ant Race.

Sunan was not surprised by this.

The Ogre Ant Race’s strength was far inferior to the Star Alliance’s. The forces engaged in battle with them on the Hermes Plane were just the tip of the iceberg of the Star Alliance’s military power.

The fact that the Ogre Ant Race could hold on for so long, besides their large population, was also because the Star Alliance used them as tools to train Wizard Apprentices.

"What’s the situation on the Ogre Plane?"

"We’ve just completed preliminary exploration; it’s resource-poor and not of much value, but there are quite a few earth vein nodes that can be used to open Secondary Magic Stone veins."

Sunan nodded with understanding.

In the vast multi-universe, truly valuable resource planes are few; most are like the Ogre Plane, resource-poor and not of significant value.

For Wizard Influences, without transforming the plane, the only value is to exploit earth vein nodes to open Secondary Magic Stone veins.

However, opening Secondary Magic Stone veins requires the Magic Stone Mother, which is an associated product of large Magic Stone veins and is extremely rare.

Therefore, the frequency of Wizard Influences developing these types of planes is generally low.

The Star Alliance, which is simultaneously opening Secondary Magic Stone veins on four or five planes, is unique.

"It seems we need to synthesize more Magic Stone Mothers." Sunan thought silently, then asked, "What about the Ogre Ant Race?"

Lize replied, "They are still on the Hermes Plane, being guarded by the Golem Legion and the Demon Pattern Knight Order. How do you plan to deal with them?"

Sunan pondered for a moment and then said, "Break them up and assign them to various resource points on different planes as labor."

With nearly a billion surviving Ogre Ant People, placing them all on the same plane is no less than a ticking time bomb.

Once their population recovers, they might cause trouble again.

The best way is to break them apart and scatter them.

The Star Alliance currently has a total of 20 planes, and if divided evenly, each plane would receive four to five million Ant People, scattered across thousands of resource points, with only about a thousand Ant People at each resource point.

If any disturbances occur, the stationed Golem army can easily quell it.

The Star Alliance is currently actively developing new planes and urgently needs a large labor force. Ant People, possessing great strength and endurance, are the best choice for labor.

Nearly a billion Ogre Ant People would significantly fill the Star Alliance’s labor shortage.

After a pause, Sunan added another sentence.

"Also, select some Ant People with outstanding physiques to fill the construction queue of the Floating City. After the Floating City is completed, they can stay in the city."

The Floating City is enormous, requiring a substantial workforce to maintain its operation.

Most of the labor can be performed by Clay Golems and Stone Golems, but some delicate work, especially in the service sector, cannot be done by golems.

Generally, service work within the Floating City is performed by various humanoid creatures, human-like bipedal creatures, or fairy and elf kind creatures.

Sunan had originally planned to fortify the Floating City with personnel, pondering which racial beings to choose, and the Ogre Ant Race coincidentally came along, so he decided to include them as one of the options.

Despite their unattractive appearance, Ogre Ant People are barely suitable as the base labor force in the Floating City.

After discussing with Lize for a while and arranging the disposition of the Ogre Ant Race, Sunan then left the Starlight Wizard Tower and returned to the Submerged Spirit Plane.

In a cavern deep underground, Sunan sat cross-legged, and with a thought, a panel emerged.

[Sunan Yanest, Male/True Spirit Wizard (Master Level)]

[Control Law]

Gravity Law: 16.59 Energy Level

Thunder Law: 1.12 Energy Level

Over the past century, Sunan’s focus has primarily been on comprehending the Gravity Law, only visiting the Thunder Element Plane to comprehend the Thunder Law occasionally.

Therefore, the Thunder Law has only increased by less than 0.1 Energy Level since he first advanced.

"The divine energy has been consumed significantly, only able to sustain for at most another one hundred years."

Sunan contemplated the divine energy in his hand, estimating that the remaining divine energy could allow him to increase the Gravity Law to about 40 Energy Levels.

After that, without divine energy to aid him, solely relying on the synthesis of the Power of Law and Light Awakening Potion, it would take at least a thousand years to elevate the Gravity Law to the manipulation level.

To quickly enhance the energy level of the law, entering the realm of truth is the only option.

"There’s still no news from Maisy; it seems it’s not easy to find the Breakthrough Stone."

With a light sigh, Sunan stored away the divine energy, not intending to cultivate immediately but instead extracted a Divine Energy Crystal and began to draw the Power of Gravity Law into it.

After coming up with the idea of mastering high-energy-level Power of Law, Sunan immediately took action, starting experiments, and conducted numerous attempts over time.

The result is that, without a carrier medium, the maximum level of synthesized Power of Law he can control is approximately three times his current capability.

This means that he can now extract the Power of Law from the plane’s essence and then directly synthesize about 50 Energy Levels of Power of Law using magic cubes for combat.

When the law energy level reaches 34 Energy Levels and above, he can manipulate Power of Law one tier higher than his current realm!

However, because extraction and synthesis require a process, and though this process is brief, only taking an instant, even a moment is quite significant in True Spirit Wizard-level battles.

Therefore, this method of extracting Power of Law for synthesis during combat to manipulate higher-energy Power of Law is not very practical.

Thus, Sunan quickly abandoned this method and shifted his focus to studying means that involve the use of carriers and media.
