Chapter 357: Compensation

Chapter 357 -358: Compensation

“Of course, he was once a member of your academy. So before we move this world, the family will provide you with some compensation.”

As the Silver-White Avatar spoke, he casually flicked his hand. The simple motion made the Dean and the captain tremble in fear.

The Silver-White Avatar smiled at their reaction.

He then held out a Light Ball to the Dean. The Dean stared at the orb, his eyes darting about uncertainly.

But in the end, he gritted his teeth and accepted the Light Ball.

“Take a look. You may choose a portion of these items as compensation.”

the Silver-White Avatar said, watching the Dean hesitate to open the Light Ball.

Seeing he had no other choice, the Dean could only open the Light Ball.

He was hopelessly outmatched. Besides, behind this Truth Great Wizard stood a massive fleet.

The mere sight of that fleet made his heart pound in terror. It contained a full eight Red Sun Thrones—something he himself did not possess.

And there were as many as sixteen Battle Moons. Sixteen! The number was staggering.

A single Battle Moon was comparable to six War Mother Ships.

From its founding until now, the North Sea Wizard Academy had occupied a total of three World Groups.

With the resources supplied by these three World Groups, the North Sea Wizard Academy had only managed to construct twelve War Mother Ships and two Battle Moons.

Those two Battle Moons were his and Klein’s personal flagships, and they were rarely deployed.

But now, the power the academy took such pride in was nothing before this colossal fleet.

This massive fleet would only need to dispatch a quarter of its Battle Moons to completely destroy all the academy’s most powerful war machines.

And that wasn’t even mentioning the eight Red Sun Thrones, which could truly contend with Red Sun Great Wizards.

Although a Red Sun Throne didn’t carry the Power of Truth itself, its Energy Core inevitably contained components infused with it.

It was precisely because of this that an ordinary Red Sun Throne could hold its own against three to four Red Sun Great Wizards.

If those eight Red Sun Thrones were to form a Witchcraft Array, they could even withstand a joint attack from fifty Red Sun Great Wizards.

Faced with such a disparity in power, the Dean could only open the Light Ball and choose from the items within.

But the moment he opened the Light Ball, the Dean couldn’t help but gasp.

Even though there was no air in the interstellar void, the Dean still made the motion subconsciously.

A densely packed list appeared before him, itemizing various resources.

And every single one of these resources made the Dean’s heart skip a beat.

For example, one of the resources was named the Clear Spirit Calm Tree.

On the surface, this tree seemed unremarkable, but anyone who knew of the Clear Spirit Calm Tree’s function would go mad upon seeing it.

This was because the Clear Spirit Calm Tree could increase a Wizard’s speed of prying into the Power of Truth by tenfold.

That’s right—a tenfold increase. Because of this terrifying effect, any appearance of a Clear Spirit Calm Tree would trigger a scramble among the major powers of the Wizard World.

Eventually, it reached a point where every time a Clear Spirit Calm Tree appeared, it was at an auction, with bids made in units of entire worlds.

The last time a Clear Spirit Calm Tree had appeared was 200,000 years ago.

And that time, it had fetched a price of ten Level 3 Worlds.

Although they were only Level 3 Worlds, the resources within those ten worlds were enough to nurture a Moonlight Great Mage.

And the Clear Spirit Calm Tree sold at that auction had only been a newly sprouted seedling, requiring vast resources for careful cultivation and maintenance.

Yet, someone had paid the price of ten Level 3 Worlds to take home that mere seedling.

And now, this list showed a full two Clear Spirit Calm Trees.

And yet, this wasn’t even the most precious item on the list. After seeing the name of the Clear Spirit Calm Tree, the Dean glanced down.

That one glance was almost enough to make the Dean faint.

Because below the Clear Spirit Calm Tree were two stones. These were no ordinary stones—they were World Stones. Two of them.

‘Two World Stones. Two complete World Stones!’

‘Since when could something like a World Stone be described as “complete”?’

World Stone. Just from the name, one could guess its origin.

If someone truly didn’t know, a simple explanation would make them understand the value of a World Stone.

A World Stone is what a World Origin Space transforms into when a world collapses, and it contains a massive amount of World Origin.

Because it’s what the World Origin Space becomes when a world collapses, the World Origin Space also shatters in the process.

Therefore, any World Stone produced during a world’s collapse is usually fragmented due to the shattering of space.

Furthermore, when a world collapses, the World Origin Space is something everyone scrambles to plunder. They would never wait for it to condense into a World Stone, instead draining it of its World Origin completely.

Due to these extremely harsh formation conditions, the vast majority of World Stones circulating in the Wizard World, and even the Endless Star Realm, were all fragments.

And now, Andre’s family was actually offering two complete World Stones as compensation.

In all his long life, the Dean had never even heard of such extravagance, let alone witnessed it.

But now, this unbelievable scene was happening right before his eyes.

The Dean almost couldn’t resist choosing these two complete World Stones as his compensation then and there.

He knew just how much his power would increase if he chose these two World Stones.

If he integrated these two World Stones into the world he had created, allowing his world to absorb the World Origin within them, it would develop at an incredible speed.

During that process, he could observe the development of the world’s Laws and Rules, thereby greatly increasing his comprehension of the Power of Truth. He might even soar in power, cross that nearly impossible threshold, and become a Truth Great Wizard.

‘This compensation is simply too astounding!’

The Dean forcibly suppressed his impulse and continued to read down the list. When he saw the compensation listed below the World Stones, he couldn’t stop himself from gasping again.

This compensation was an Elemental Spring. The Elemental Spring, a natural Witchcraft Artifact that could only be born in an Elemental World.

To put it simply, an Elemental Spring could convert various forms of Power into their corresponding Elements, forming Elemental Crystals or even the much rarer Elemental Liquid within it.
