The meeting didn't last long, only a short afternoon.
After the meeting, the World Tree found Richard.
"Sir, why didn't you let me propose?"
The World Tree looked at Richard with great puzzlement. In his view, the little tricks of the Shaping Energy Crown and the Alchemy Crown were just jokes.
Richard couldn't propose, but could his allies not propose either?
But Richard stopped him during the meeting.
"Not necessary." Richard shook his head and said, "If I make a proposal, neither the Wizards nor the Gods like my suggestions very much.
Even if I force this proposal through, it still requires people to implement it.
If they are unwilling, forcibly pushing it through will only lead to a mess."
"So, are you giving up?" World Tree asked.
"Of course not." A sharp glint flashed in Richard's eyes, "I'm just delaying it a little."
Since the Shaping Alchemy two Crowns have already joined forces, there is no need to think about forming alliances; direct force suppression will do.
As long as he can physically suppress these two Truth Wizards, he will naturally become the leader of the Wizard Civilization.
By then, his plan will have no obstacles whatsoever.
As for the Gods Civilization, whether they agree or not, as an isolated civilization, they must follow the will of the Alliance.
The World Tree, seeing that Richard had an idea in mind, said no more. After bidding farewell to Richard, he immediately went to research the Critical Evolution Liquid with the Alchemy Crown and other Dominators.
Richard didn't stay long within the Dimension. The meeting had determined the responsibilities of the nineteen Mercenary Dominators and the leader.
As the convener of these Dominators, Richard naturally became their leader.
As for their duties... expecting these Dominators to charge into battle was obviously impossible, so their duty was mobile defense.
As their direct superior, Richard was responsible for assigning them combat missions. At the same time, as the mouthpiece of the Wizard Alliance, he communicated with them.
Returning to the Star Realm, Richard pondered over the map for a while, then arranged the defense zones for the many Dominators and coordinated intelligence exchange between the defense zones to ensure that every world could connect with its guarding Dominator.
"Your map needs to be replaced."
In the Battle Zone Command Center, Richard looked at the flat map prepared by the command center, a trace of displeasure flashed on his face.
"The Star Realm is not a flat land. Not using a three-dimensional map and relying only on annotations on the map will lead to mistakes in emergencies."
Beside him, the Embers Rekindled Great Wizard was sweating slightly.
"You're right. I'll notify the logistics to replace all these flat maps with three-dimensional projection maps immediately."
Richard nodded slightly but seemed to notice something. He suddenly scanned the command center.
"Hmm? Why have so many people in the command center been replaced?"
Although Richard hadn't specifically memorized the members of the Battle Zone Command Center, as a Dominator, super memory was almost instinctual.
Richard could confirm that about thirty percent of the personnel in this command center had been replaced.
This was very unusual.
Especially since it happened right after the Battle Zone Command Center had just completed a very perfect handling measure.
"Haha, the higher-ups investigated our response to the recent raid and found that quite a few people didn't handle it promptly, so they were transferred out."
Embers Rekindled Great Wizard had a touch of embarrassment on his face but a hint of cold glint flashed in his eyes.
He performed excellently in this sudden attack, but Richard's explicit war with the two Crowns made his position a bit awkward.
Although the Embers Rekindled Great Wizard held a high position in the Shape-shifting School, his obedience to Richard caused some opinions within the School.
Although these opinions were absurd, for newcomers to rise, they must push the older ones out.
In recent years, the seven schools have been expanding. Although due to the short time, many Great Wizards have not yet entered the schools, some Five Rings Wizards have taken this opportunity to become Six Rings Great Wizards.
The rare situation of Six Rings Great Wizards in the past is no longer. Except for the Miracle School, the other six schools' Six Rings and Five Rings Great Wizards are increasing rapidly.
But more newcomers don't mean more positions. Without removing the old, newcomers can't rise.
If it were other positions, it would be understandable, but the position of the Battle Zone Staff Officer is almost considered a Crown Throne candidate. The Bronze Spear Great Wizard, the Sword of Victory Great Wizard, and a series of promising Great Wizards have all been placed in this position, whether they are suitable or not.
In this operation, the Embers Rekindled Great Wizard handled everything well, so no one could pull him down. However, if they couldn't pull him down, they could still pull away his close aides.
The personnel adjusted in this command center were all close confidants of the Embers Rekindled Great Wizard.
As for the incompetence in the investigation results, it was entirely a matter of deciding the result before finding the problem.
Richard naturally saw the inside story and silently sighed in his heart, "No matter how restrained, the struggles above will inevitably trigger struggles below.
This struggle... must be concluded swiftly."
Suppressing his thoughts, Richard patted the Embers Rekindled Great Wizard on the shoulder.
"You're considering the bigger picture, and the council will not overlook your contributions. Do well, this mess won't last long. If there's any problem, you can come to me."
Being patted by Richard, the Embers Rekindled Great Wizard's heart trembled slightly.
"Is the Crown Throne recruiting me, or just saying polite words?"
He glanced around discreetly, and upon noticing a few staff officers quietly watching him, he realized his path was already decided.
"Thank you, Crown Throne, for your concern. I will not fail your trust."
Richard nodded, thinking to himself that poaching is indeed faster.
Training a Six Rings Great Wizard takes a long time, but poaching one only requires an incident and a few words.
Leaving the command center, Richard returned directly to the Dimension.
Currently, the attack of the Civilization Devourer has been curtailed, and for a short time, they should have some peace.
This period, he must seize.
Within the Dimension, the space fragment library is much smaller than before, but its internal structure has stabilized.
Richard wasn't clear about the state of the octopus monster's soul, but up until now, he hadn't discovered any strange occurrences in this space fragment.
The dimensional lines formed by the Power of Dimension drilled out from the Void, like small drills piercing into the library fragment.
Under Richard's precise control, these dimensional lines began to slightly manipulate and dismantle the octopus monster's sealing structure based on Silk Puppet Technique, as if playing a complex tune.
However, Richard's decryption this time encountered some unexpected conditions.
A spiritual message followed the dimensional lines into Richard's soul.
"Stop, Wizard. Is our feud so great that you have to exterminate me completely?"
Richard raised an eyebrow, a cold smile appearing on his face.
"Friend, were you not planning to take over my body? You tell me, isn't this feud big enough?"
"... But I haven't acted yet, you and that guy already started."
The octopus monster's message carried a trace of grievance; although his intention was bad, he hadn't begun to implement it yet, had he?
"Heh, I call this stopping crime in its infancy."
Richard chuckled coldly, his hands not only refusing to stop but speeding up.
"Stop, stop!" the octopus monster's message carried a trace of terror, "Is it just my technique you want? I'll give it to you.
What good does killing me do you?"
"It makes me feel better."
Richard's expression didn't change; through the information transmitted by the dimensional lines, he could clearly feel the library's Silk Puppet Technique-based structure was already extensively loosening.
With a bit more effort, this library fragment would truly become his.
However, Richard didn't feel joy; instead, he grew a trace of caution.
Nothing else; the octopus monster's message seemed like begging, but his offer wasn't the plea-for-life kind.
If it were him, he would definitely offer a high price now — even if it were all empty promises — just to stabilize the other party.
But the octopus monster's plea seemed more like temptation.
It's as if a disheveled beauty was telling a lustful fiend, "Don't come over."
"No, there must be something wrong with this."
Richard silently transferred the Miracle Furnace from his soul to the Dimension, his hands accelerating the movements as if eager to capture the octopus monster's soul.
Inside the space fragment, noticing Richard's accelerated decrypting actions, the octopus monster couldn't help but release a cold laugh.
"Daring to put me into his own Dimension, what a fool who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. The path of Heavenly Destiny, as long as the soul is present, can even possess ordinary World Will, possessing the Dominator Dimension is easy.
It seems destiny's punishment has ended; my time has finally come!"
As the library fragment's sealing structure was torn bit by bit, the octopus monster's pride grew ever more overwhelming.
Finally, accompanied by a low hum, the library fragment's sealing structure was completely dismantled.
"Fool, you've fallen for it!"
Like a flash, the octopus monster's soul flew out from the library, feeling no impediment when exiting the space fragment.
Successful! This fool really thought I was defenseless, so he didn't prepare any measures.
This Dimension is his... Wait,?
Just as the octopus monster was about to merge his soul into the Dimension, taking control over it, a golden flame blocked his path.
Even though his soul had partially acquired Level 8.5 Creature traits, he sensed deadly threats from that flame.
What is this thing?
"It's you who fell for it, friend."
Richard's voice leisurely sounded behind him.
"Come to my Melter to become fuel."
