Ocean observation records.
first day.
...After a meeting that lasted thirteen hours, they finally decided to launch the "Ocean Purity" project. I neither agreed nor refused.
Yes, I was consumed by anger and fear.
If war is destined to shed blood, then I sincerely hope that it is they who shed blood, not us, even if this bloodshed will flood the entire ocean.
the next day.
...Its excellent water solubility and dilution ability, its near-non-volatile properties, and its colorless, odorless, and discreet nature...
Dr. Villette's discovery was absolutely epoch-making, but it wasn't the era of human prosperity and strength that he marked, but rather the era of extinction and collapse for another world. I can't imagine the consequences if he had discovered this thing on Earth a hundred years ago... Of course, without our discoveries in Worlds Three and Four, he wouldn't have been able to discover these "demons of hell".
Day three.
...The extraction of the toxin was very successful. The only unexpected thing was the lethality of the toxin. A native knight accidentally got a drop of the original liquid on his clothes during the manufacturing process, which caused the toxin to spread to the entire city through the water source. The army had to seal off the city.
They are dead.
Fourth day.
The plan has officially begun, and the first batch of 10,000 tons of toxins has been transported to coastal factories, where those low-IQ marine mammals will love them.
...Because the toxin is too lethal, we have to abandon further concealment, and that will suffice.
Day .
I was a little uneasy, as was Dr. Villette.
There has been a lot of bad news coming from the city that was locked down three days ago; perhaps the antidote isn't as effective as we thought.
...130,000 tons of toxins have been transported to the coast and are expected to be dumped into the sea today.
The research department rejected the proposal to directly dump toxins by plane and ship. Perhaps they know something?
Day .
God, what have I done!
I killed the people of a city!
They didn't do anything; it was just an accident!
...The fourth batch of one million tons of toxins is being dumped into the sea. What should I do at this time?
Wizarding Civilization: Chapter 813 The Ocean Purification Project (Part 2)
Seventh day.
...It's ridiculous that we, the proposers of "Ocean Purity," carried out this plan one week, and now we are the opponents who are rejecting it.
This is no longer a war against any race or civilization; it is simply destruction.
The destruction of life on a planet.
...While we were doing these things, another three million tons of toxins were dumped into the sea.
Eighth day.
...They rejected our proposal.
We've forgotten one thing: they were the ones who truly faced that war.
While we, hiding behind the lines, trembled with fear because of the deaths and injuries on the battlefield ahead, they had no choice but to continue charging forward despite their fear.
The fear they endured, and the anger that stemmed from it, was ten times, a hundred times greater than ours.
If we, hiding in the shadows, can act out of anger, let alone them...
When they realized they possessed weapons that could be used for revenge and aggression, they had already abandoned compassion and morality...
Forgive them, God, we are all human beings.
Tonnage poured in: five million tons.
ninth day.
Dr. Villette committed suicide, leaving behind a suicide note.
He said he saw a wronged soul from the ocean crying out to him about its innocence and suffering, but he was powerless to help.
...The person who raises the weapon may not have the power to put it down, and the person who presses the fire button can only watch it explode.
Perhaps there really are vengeful spirits in this world, after all, even wizards have appeared.
Dr. Villette may have been forced to commit suicide, but in the end, it was he who pulled the trigger on his own head.
……
Tonnage poured in: ten million tons
tenth day.
...As expected, the density of the toxins has stabilized. The sea is calm today, with nothing but seawater.
They were all asleep, in the "dream" woven for them by humans.
...I got a gun from the guard.
Tonnage poured in: 30 million tons
the eleventh day.
Is the war over?
No, the massacre has begun.
I cannot see that scene, but I know that every second that passes as I write these words, more than 100 million lives perish beneath the sea, including our enemies, but even more unknown to us.
I am glad that they have no intelligence, otherwise my sins would have increased tens of thousands of times under their torment and questioning.
……
We are human beings, and humans can be driven by emotions to make impulsive, irreversible decisions.
Once the pleasure brought by the impulse subsides, what remains is regret and self-blame.
Humanity keeps repeating the same mistakes. Now it's me, and soon it will probably be those who are impulsively throwing hatred into the sea.
……
I wish my fellow human beings could overcome the consequences of this hatred.
"Bam—"
Under the dripping blood, all the words were soaked and blurred by the blood, only the lowest numbers remained clear.
Tonnage poured in: 100 million tons.

Ocean Purity Project.
As the name suggests, it's a plan to make the ocean "pure".
For wizards, the seas now dominated by the sea creatures who have signed the sea creature pact are "pure" enough. Not only do they not pose any threat to them, but they can also become an asset at certain times.
However, for Earth's civilization, such a sea is far too "dirty".
The surging undercurrents, the alluring songs, the dangerous sea beasts... The sea, dominated by the sea creatures, is filled with malice towards humanity. Every time we leave the land, it is a challenge between life and death, completely placing our lives above the kindness that those underwater creatures do not even possess.
To change this situation, Earth civilization launched a project called "Ocean Purification".
With the opening of the portal, not only physical technology has made remarkable progress over the decades, but also biotechnology. In some ways, biotechnology has even developed faster than physical technology. After all, the alien worlds invaded by Earth civilization are not necessarily technology-driven civilizations. If it is a feudal world like the Teigu world, it is basically impossible to make a contribution in terms of physics.
However, no matter what kind of world it is, as long as life exists—and life that is different from Earth's ecology—it can promote the development of biotechnology.
Against this backdrop, marine toxin VX-117 was discovered.
This is a toxin specifically designed for aquatic environments, but due to its extremely potent toxicity—just one drop can kill millions of people—and its persistent nature, it was ultimately classified as a top-risk marine toxin rather than an aquatic toxin.
This toxin is not truly effective in lakes or still inland seas, where better alternatives exist; it can only exert its full effect in the open ocean.
Its exceptional water solubility and dilution capacity ensures that this toxin spreads instantly upon contact with water. Its near-non-volatile nature prevents it from dispersing into the air and posing a threat to humans living on land. Its colorless and odorless properties ensure that aquatic life in the sea will not detect the toxin's invasion and will not be easily exposed like a virus through various mutations... until the moment it takes effect.
After using an "accident" to verify the lethality of this toxin with the lives of two million natives of the wizarding world, the expeditionary force, which had just suffered a crushing defeat, immediately mobilized all the resources of the west coast to produce this toxin, and then transported it to the seashore in canisters, waiting for the arrival of the sea monsters.
……
It must be said that the plan went quite smoothly. The Tower Alliance, busy searching for the whereabouts of the Sun Wizard Raoul, did not pay attention to these actions on the edge of the West Coast. After all, a Sun Wizard was more precious than the entire West Coast. Even if they were to be wary, they would be wary of the alien powerhouse who caused Raoul's disappearance, not those inferior lives that crumbled at the first sign of war.
The sea creatures were no different. Admittedly, Earth's civilization's ability to create "suns" on the ground startled them. However, after realizing that such weapons could not be released in the deep sea—and even if they were released, their power would be greatly reduced—the sea creatures stopped paying attention to them.
Instead, they focused their attention on the wizard's reaction.
In their view, this was a rare opportunity to verify the foundation of the wizard civilization. Tens of thousands of years was too long. Under the constraints of the sea race contract, the sea race, who should have been the masters of this sea, were forced to work like slaves under the wizard's orders. This time, the Nightmare Civilization and the Earth Civilization invaded one after another.
The former consisted of five Nightmare Venerables equivalent to the Sun-level, while the latter possessed the terrifying power to cause the second seat of the Tower Alliance to disappear without a trace. They were perfect for testing the wizards' current strength. If the wizards showed even the slightest weakness in this war, the sea race would definitely not stand idly by.
Against this backdrop, over 100 million tons of toxins were dumped into the sea…
For humans living in the wizarding world, what does the purest ocean look like?
Wizarding Civilization: Chapter 814 Wizards' Twenty Thousand Years
On the fifteenth day of the "Ocean Purity" operation, in the sea area east of the western coast of the mainland.
Affected by the "fog of war" released by the former wizards, a large amount of water vapor was drawn away to form dark clouds. After the battle ended, the west coast enjoyed a full two weeks of clear weather.
Today is no exception.
However, unlike the thriving land, the boundless sea has been silent for the past three days.
There were no flying birds, no leaping fish, and no giant creatures that occasionally "show off their power." All there was was the sound of waves crashing... and the sea so quiet it seemed dead.
Moreover, starting yesterday, the Ocean Observation Bureau discovered that even the frequency and intensity of the waves have decreased significantly, and satellites in outer space have transmitted a strange scene.
Centered on the sea area where the Wizarding Continent is located, the entire ocean seems to be divided by an unknown "force." The entire western sea area is directly cleaved, and the surging waters on the seabed cannot advance after reaching that area, and can only roll back into the western sea.
Under these circumstances, in the "Ocean Purification" project launched by Earth civilization for revenge, what ultimately "died" was not the entire ocean of the Wizarding Continent, but the western sea area, which was a quarter of its size.
No one knows how many corpses lie in that sea area that covers 20% of the wizarding world, how many sea creatures, how many sea beasts, and how many innocent lives are among them...
The only thing people knew was that they were safe—facing this vast ocean.
----------segmentation----------
The sea creatures unilaterally severed all alliances with the wizard.
Even though it came at a huge cost, they did it anyway.
Theodore, the Wizard of the Sun, had anticipated this, so when the Alliance raised this issue as a topic to discuss whether to punish them, he directly rejected the idea.
While Laugh was in power, he might not have had such authority. After all, the gap between the first and second seats in the Tower Alliance was not absolute to the point of being unchangeable. However, after Laugh disappeared from the wizarding world, the entire Tower Alliance became Theodore's personal fiefdom.
It must be said that good things are always accompanied by bad things. In the eyes of other wizards in the Tower Alliance, Theodore has gained supreme authority over the entire wizarding world because of the disappearance of Raffar. In the entire wizarding world, only the Tower Alliance has more than three Sun Wizards, not to mention Moon Wizards and Morning Star Wizards. Each of them represents a wizarding tower, an academy, and together they constitute the civilization called "Wizards".
However, only Theodore himself knew that he had never felt even the slightest bit of joy for his current position and authority.
The Tower Alliance has a fair number of Sun Wizards, and even after losing Raffar as the second-in-command, there are still third, fourth, and fifth seats. If they were willing, Theodore would gladly hand over his current position to them, but without exception, they have all refused this supreme authority.
Even when faced with the second-place seat left behind after Lavrov's disappearance, it did not waver in the slightest.
The more you know, the more you realize you don't know.
This is true on Earth, and it is also true in the wizarding world. On the surface, the Suns seem to be high above, ruling over one alien world after another, but is it really that wonderful in reality?
The Nightmare Civilization is closing in, Earth's civilization is stirring, and there are also the sea creatures lurking in the deep sea... The extinction of the Western Sea has severely weakened them, but it has also become the perfect excuse to break free from the ancient pact. At this moment, they will not only refrain from seeking revenge against the Earth civilization that caused the extinction of the Western Sea's sea creatures, but may even support their actions if necessary.
Phosphorus Dream? 83 Zero Bell Starts to Blame V? Theodore, the wizard of the day, knew very well that his more than four thousand years of life had allowed him to see many truths hidden beneath the surface.
The extinction of the Western Sea was indeed tragic, but given less than a hundred years, they were able to recover. But what about the wizards?
From the signing of the oldest pact to the present day, wizards have been looming over them for a full twenty thousand years...
"They will not let this opportunity pass, even if their partners are stained with the warm blood of their own brethren."
As Theodore spoke to one of his apprentices, he leaned back in his recliner like any ordinary old man: "What about the Nightmare?"
“The three Venerable-level Nightmares have reappeared. They were not killed. The Blacksor Tower and the Nessia Tower have lost contact.”
"It seems they received news of Ralph's disappearance."
