The Synthesis Wizard-Chapter 308 - 310:Rooting Out the Spy
Chapter 308 - 310:Rooting Out the Spy
While Su Nan was immersed in his cultivation, a great storm was brewing in the outside world.
In the realm of deities, Divine Authority represents the type of Law Power a deity wields.
It could be a single Law Power or a combination of multiple Law Powers.
For instance, the Spider Queen's Divine Authority encompasses assassination, darkness, and spiders.
It's worth noting that Divine Authority is unique.
If a deity in the Multiverse holds a certain Divine Authority, no other deity can ascend with the same Divine Authority.
Unless that deity falls.
Divine Authority symbolizes power.
The broader a deity's Divine Authority, the more Law Powers they can wield, and the stronger they become.
Thus, all deities constantly seek to merge more Divine Authorities to expand their domains.
However, after countless eons, the known Divine Authorities in the Multiverse have been largely divided among the major deities.
Discovering a new Divine Authority is even more difficult than Godslaying.
As a result, deities are always vigilant about changes in Divine Authority.
When the Spider Queen fell, many deities took notice.
Deities whose Divine Authorities overlapped with the Spider Queen were the first to sense her demise.
Many deities were shocked.
As long-time adversaries of the deities, the Wizard community quickly received the news.
In the Holy Tree Plane, within the Wisdom Tower.
After reading the report in her hands, Meisha's face showed an expression of utter astonishment.
"Is the information accurate?"
Even though she knew that any report reaching her would have been verified multiple times, Meisha couldn't help but ask again.
It wasn't for any particular reason, but the content of the report was truly unexpected.
"Lady Meisha, the information is accurate. We've confirmed it multiple times."
Cyril smiled bitterly, his heart filled with amazement.
When he first heard the news, he was equally shocked, almost doubting his own ears.
But subsequent reports from various channels of the Wisdom Codex all corroborated the information, dispelling his doubts.
Meisha fell silent, staring at the parchment in her hands, a trace of bewilderment flashing across her face.
The fact that the Spider Queen had fallen in the Blood Abyss was already astonishing.
What was even more shocking was that the one who killed the Spider Queen was a third-rate Wizard faction! And this third-rate Wizard faction was one she was very familiar with—the Star Alliance, controlled by Su Nan!
Meisha never expected to hear news of the Star Alliance successfully slaying a deity! "I heard that the Star Spirit Clock Tower and the Dark Throne were also involved."
Cyril carefully observed Meisha's expression, choosing his words carefully:
"According to our investigation, the Godslaying operation was initially secretly initiated by the Star Spirit Clock Tower, but the Dark Throne later found out and planned to reap the benefits. However, the Spider Queen's power exceeded their expectations, and both the Star Spirit Clock Tower and the Dark Throne were ultimately repelled by the Spider Queen, inadvertently paving the way for the Star Alliance."
"But how did the Star Alliance learn about the Star Spirit Clock Tower's operation?"
Cyril was utterly perplexed.
He wasn't particularly surprised that the Dark Throne had intercepted the Star Spirit Clock Tower's operation.
It was common knowledge that major Wizard factions often planted spies within each other's organizations.
At most, one could say the Star Spirit Clock Tower's security was lacking, allowing such a secret Godslaying operation to be discovered by the Dark Throne.
But how did the Star Alliance manage it? The Star Alliance had only risen to prominence a little over two thousand years ago. Even if they had planted spies within the Star Spirit Clock Tower and the Dark Throne, in such a short time, those spies couldn't have risen to significant positions. Logically, they shouldn't have been able to intercept such crucial information.
It was truly baffling! Meisha was also somewhat puzzled.
After pondering for a while without any answers, she shook her head and decided not to dwell on it.
"Lady Meisha, the Star Alliance has taken the opportunity from the Star Spirit Clock Tower and the Dark Throne. Will they seek trouble with the Star Alliance?" Cyril suddenly asked.
Meisha raised an eyebrow, narrowing her eyes as she said, "The Star Spirit Clock Tower and the Dark Throne's operation had already failed. Even without the Star Alliance, they couldn't have killed the Spider Queen. How could they have the face to say the Star Alliance stole their opportunity?"
Cyril smiled bitterly, "The Star Spirit Clock Tower might still care about face, but the Dark Throne certainly won't let it go."
While it's true that opportunities belong to the capable, and the Star Spirit Clock Tower and the Dark Throne's failure in Godslaying, allowing the Star Alliance to reap the benefits, was their own problem.
But the Wizard world isn't always so fair.
The Star Alliance ultimately gained an advantage. The Star Spirit Clock Tower might swallow this bitter pill, considering the Wisdom Codex, but the Dark Throne likely won't be so willing.
Meisha said indifferently, "If the Dark Throne tries anything underhanded, we won't be polite with them either."
The Star Alliance is, after all, an affiliate of the Wisdom Codex, and the Wisdom Codex has a duty to protect its affiliates.
With the Star Alliance in the right, if the Dark Throne dares to act against them, the Wisdom Codex will certainly not stand idly by.
Hearing Meisha's words, Cyril wasn't surprised. After all, the Star Alliance was personally recruited into the Wisdom Codex by Lady Meisha, so it was natural for her to show some care for them.
Speaking of which, the Star Alliance really hit the jackpot this time! Godslaying is extremely risky, but once successful, the rewards are incredibly lucrative!
It probably won't be long before the Star Alliance gains a True Spirit Wizard!
Recalling the scene when he first entered the Starlight Continent with Meisha, Cyril couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion.
Back then, he had also been optimistic about the Star Alliance, but he never expected it to develop so rapidly, poised to enter the ranks of second-rate Wizard factions in just over two thousand years.
Now, they had even successfully slain a deity!
Even though the Star Spirit Clock Tower and the Dark Throne had severely wounded the Spider Queen first, the Star Alliance had still managed to kill a deity, showcasing their formidable strength.
In the Giant Peak Plane, within the Star Spirit High Fortress.
In the spacious meeting hall, Gunter Sharp sat at the head of the table, watching the heated arguments below, his expression unreadable.
"The Dark Throne's operation this time was unusually timely, indicating they must have obtained detailed plans. There must be a traitor in our ranks!"
"Exactly, and the traitor must hold a significant position!"
"I'm not surprised that the Dark Throne planted spies within our organization, but what about the Star Alliance?"
"That's what I'm puzzled about. I still can't figure out how the Star Alliance obtained the information?"
"Rather than that, I think we should focus on how to deal with the Star Alliance. We suffered heavy losses in this operation and gained nothing, while the Star Alliance took everything. I'm not willing to swallow such a huge loss!"
"What can you do? The Star Alliance is an affiliate of the Wisdom Codex. If we act against them, the Wisdom Codex certainly won't stand by."
"So are we just going to give up?"
As the arguments grew more intense, a light cough suddenly rang out.
Everyone fell silent as if a pause button had been pressed, their eyes turning to Gunter Sharp at the head of the table.
"After the meeting, immediately launch an internal investigation. We must root out the traitor!"
Gunter Sharp's gaze swept across the room, landing on a young man with red hair.
"Bernie, you're in charge of the investigation."
"Yes, sir."
Bernie responded respectfully, hesitating for a moment before asking,
"What about the Star Alliance?"
Gunter Sharp waved his hand, "We were outmaneuvered. We'll have to take the loss."
The others exchanged glances, ultimately remaining silent and saying no more.
They all understood that if it were just the Star Alliance, they could have used their influence to seize the Spider Queen's divine corpse.
But the Star Alliance had the backing of the Wisdom Codex.
If they acted forcefully, the Wisdom Codex would certainly not stand idly by, and a single misstep could escalate into a war between two major Wizard factions.
The Wizard civil war had only recently ended, and the Star Spirit Clock Tower hadn't fully recovered. It wasn't the time for another large-scale war.
While a divine corpse was precious, the council would never risk a full-blown conflict with the Wisdom Codex over it.
The matter had to end here.
In the Dark Moon Plane, within the City of Eternal Night.
The atmosphere in the meeting hall was heavy.
At the head of the table, Jude's face was dark with anger, and anyone could see that the True Spirit Wizard was in a foul mood.
The Wizards below kept their heads down, not daring to breathe too loudly.
They had planned this operation for a long time, mobilizing significant resources, expecting to reap the benefits. Instead, they had failed miserably, allowing a third-rate Wizard faction to take the lion's share.
Having tried to steal the chicken only to lose the rice, anyone in their position would be in a bad mood.
After a long silence, Jude finally spoke coldly.
"Tell me, how did the Star Alliance know about our plans?"
After the operation began, the Dark Throne had sealed the surrounding Planes near the Blood River to ensure no other Wizards could interfere.
Yet, from start to finish, they hadn't detected Su Nan's presence.
The only explanation was that Su Nan had infiltrated the Blood Abyss earlier than them and the Star Spirit Clock Tower, hiding near the ambush site.
Moreover, shortly after they were repelled by the Spider Queen, the Star Alliance's forces entered the Blood Abyss, indicating they had been well aware of the operation's details.
Either the Star Spirit Clock Tower had leaked the information, or someone among them had secretly passed it to the Star Alliance.
If it was the former, so be it. But if it was the latter... unless that person was torn to pieces, their soul stripped and burned in the Blood Abyss's flames for millions of years, Jude's fury would not be quelled!
As Jude's words fell, the hall remained silent.
Everyone glanced at each other, suspicion and scrutiny in their eyes.
Observing their expressions, Jude narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Yugil, you're in charge of the internal investigation. Find the traitor who leaked the information!"
"Yes, sir!"
A tall, thin Wizard responded respectfully, his eyes subtly scanning the others.
Yet, everyone appeared calm and composed.
Yugil frowned slightly.
It seemed finding the traitor wouldn't be easy.

"Sir, what about the Star Alliance?" a Wizard suddenly asked.
Jude's eye twitched slightly, and he snorted coldly, "Let them be arrogant for now."
The others exchanged glances, remaining silent.
Yugil's eyes flickered, and he sighed inwardly.
The Dark Throne wasn't a monolithic entity; in fact, it was more rife with internal strife than other Wizard factions.
This time, Jude had suffered a significant loss, and many were secretly gloating.
Even if Jude requested the Throne Council to act against the Star Alliance, the other Crown Wizards would undoubtedly oppose it.
The reason was clear: the Star Alliance had the backing of the Wisdom Codex. They couldn't risk a war between two major Wizard factions over Jude's personal grievances.
In short, they had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.
Any retaliation would have to wait for a future opportunity.
"The Star Alliance has obtained the Spider Queen's divine corpse. Their leader, Su Nan, will likely soon ascend to True Spirit Wizard."
"Once he reaches the Realm of Truth, the Wisdom Codex won't be able to protect him at all times."
"By then, Jude can find an opportunity to kill Su Nan!"
With this thought, Yugil's mood improved slightly.
As Jude had said, let the Star Alliance be arrogant for now. Once they entered the Realm of Truth, there would be plenty of opportunities to deal with Su Nan!
In the Thunder Element Plane.
Thick clouds crackled with lightning, and thunderbolts occasionally streaked across the sky like dragons.
Boom!
Bolts of lightning descended from the heavens, striking Su Nan, who sat cross-legged, the dazzling light almost engulfing him completely.
Yet, Su Nan remained motionless, allowing the electric arcs to dance across his body, fully immersed in his cultivation.
In a place invisible to the naked eye, through the connection of his divine spark, he was deeply attuning himself to the Law Source of the Thunder Element Plane.
Every moment, his understanding of the Law of Thunder deepened.
After returning from the Blood Abyss, Su Nan had delegated all affairs to Lize, focusing entirely on comprehending the Law of Thunder.
With the aid of his divine spark, the efficiency of his comprehension had skyrocketed, progressing at an astonishing pace.
Originally, he had estimated it would take at least twenty to thirty years to comprehend the Law of Thunder.
But with the divine spark's assistance, he had succeeded in less than eight years.
Subsequently, his progress in comprehending the Law of Thunder had surged at an incredible rate.
In just over a decade, his comprehension of the Law of Thunder had reached around 10%!
After a while, sensing that his body had reached its limit, Su Nan opened his eyes, ending his cultivation.
The lightning ceased, and the glow around him dissipated.
Feeling that his understanding of the Law of Thunder had deepened further, Su Nan couldn't help but smile.
"At this rate, I should be able to master the Law of Thunder in another hundred and twenty to thirty years."
Originally, even with the Enlightenment Potion, Su Nan had estimated it would take four to five hundred years to master the Law of Thunder. Now, that time had been drastically reduced.
The divine spark's assistance was truly remarkable!
