Chapter 841: The Ultimate Weapon ll

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Things remained calm on the hopeship. Regardless of how fierce the ongoing battle between the black cat Didimoss and the seemingly endless warships was, the peace and tranquility on the hopeship remained unaffected.

Up till now, even though Merlin had entered the hopeship, he had not gone into an all-out massacre, simply because it was unnecessary. His Illusory World was capable of beguiling everyone into an illusion or have their minds seized.

The only exception was the Senate who held the highest authority!

However, that would soon change as their whereabouts were practically in Merlin's grasp, and he knew that they were hidden in the crystal wall.

"Whoosh."

A breeze wisped by, and Merlin arrived before the crystal wall. The giant crystal wall appeared glittered and translucent, almost as if it was bigger than the dimension-level warship.

Dense words of a unique kind cluttered the crystal wall – words belonging to the Vestigial Tribe that could not even be understood by Merlin but perhaps Roman would be able to decipher them.

The words on the crystal wall should be knowledge left behind by the Vestigial Tribe that had enabled the Atlan civilization to develop at a drastic pace, so much so that it was even able to invade other civilizations.

Merlin took a deep breath, and the Flame Maxim on his body turned into a giant fireball.

"Go!"

Merlin pointed with a finger, and the giant fireball charged toward the translucent crystal wall. Although the wall was engraved with the dense knowledge and information of the Vestigial Tribe, almost enough to guide an entire civilization to develop into one comparable to that of the Void Zone, for Merlin, this was the root of disaster. If it was destroyed, then so be it, there was no reason to be sorry.

Ever since entering the Atlan Dimension, Merlin had gained a deeper understanding of the Atlan civilization. In the past, several intelligent civilizations had been born in the Atlan Dimension as well.

However, these intelligent civilizations had either never discovered the crystal wall or they had but had never thoroughly researched it and therefore had, for various reasons and causes, perished in the end.

Countless years later, when the Atlans were born, it was as if they had been blessed by the Vestigial Tribe, and was able to discover the knowledge and information left behind by them.

With this knowledge, the Atlan civilization had achieved unprecedented development until the time came when they had discovered the crystal wall. The Atlan civilization had been advancing at a tremendous pace, and even claimed themselves to be the descendants of the Vestigial Tribe.

However, the Atlan civilization were no descendants of the Vestigial Tribe. They were merely one of the countless intelligent tribes that were born from the dimensions left behind by the Vestigial Tribe. The only fortunate thing was that they had received and absorbed the plentiful knowledge of the Vestigial Tribe and their pace of development chased closely behind the Vestigial Tribe's that had once swept across the entire Void Zone.

"Boom."

The giant fireball was forged from Merlin's ultimate Flame Maxim, and while the Atlan Dimension was able to block off the power of the natural order, it had little effect over the Maxim. The full display of Merlin's ultimate Maxim extended far beyond a little wall but even a dimension could be destroyed by it easily.

This was the source of the disaster. Without the crystal wall, even if the Atlan civilization was able to rebuild itself again, it would never be able to reach the decree in which the Vestigial Tribe had once been able to.

The powerful fireball blasted right onto the clear crystal wall but it did not shatter and fall apart as Merlin had imagined. Instead, a mysterious force, similar to the one that had enveloped the hopeship, had rendered Merlin's ultimate Maxim powerless and nonexistent.

"This mysterious force again? It seems that the Vestigial Tribe had indeed thoroughly secured and fortified this crystal wall. If it can't be destroyed, then I'll go in!"

Merlin had gotten the grasp of it. With the Black Star Armor in his possession, the light veils left behind by the Vestigial Tribe would automatically recognize it and would not stop Merlin from entering.

Thus, Merlin transformed into a black dot, and with the Black Star Armor, he once again flew toward the crystal wall.

"Hum."

In a flash of light, his figure disappeared."He's here, the foreign tribes have entered the crystal wall. If we don't make a decision now, it'll be too late…"

In the crystal wall on a staunch, sturdy warship, the Senators from the Senate were currently faced with the most difficult choice. In their hands, they held possession of the ultimate weapon yet they were unable to reach a consensus as their opinions could not be unified.

Everyone knew that once the ultimate weapon was activated, they may stand a chance to resolve the current crisis faced by the Atlan civilization. At the same time, it could ultimately destroy the Atlan civilization as well.

"Let's decide. There's no time. Even if the ultimate weapon would destroy the Atlan civilization, there's still a chance of survival. However, if we let this foreign tribe enter and seize us, then we, the Atlan civilization, will not even stand a chance. That's why I agree to activate the ultimate weapon."

One of the Senators took the lead and voiced his opinion. He had been one of the most vocal in his objections against activating the ultimate weapon.

After the Senator's statement, the other Senators soon followed. At the critical moment between the survival and fall of the civilization, the Senators had made their decisions.

"I agree to activate the ultimate weapon."

"I concur…"

Almost every one of the Senators had agreed to activate the ultimate weapon as this was their last chance.

"Alright, since everyone agrees to activate the ultimate weapon, then authorize access."

Each of the nine Senators held a share of access to the crystal wall to activate the ultimate weapon. The Senators nodded as they stood before the crystal wall. Suddenly, the translucent crystal wall began to vibrate, and then, a giant crack appeared, just like a passage.

After having studied the crystal wall for such a long time, the Atlan civilization had, at the very least, gained partial access to it and was able to control some parts of the crystal wall temporarily.

"Rumble."

As the crystal wall continued to tremble, a series of rumbling resounded as a giant passage was revealed.

The expressions of the nine Senators were heavy and stern as they peered inside the passage. It was a space of majestic splendor, majestic as if one stood in the center of the galaxy.

This was a specially designated space created by the Vestigial Tribe which housed a total of thirty pieces of Black Star Armors and hundreds of Gray Light Armors. However, the Senators paid no heed to any of these. Instead, their gazes were locked on only the object that lied in the very center of the galaxy world.

There, a matchless, transcendent piece exuding a brilliant light as if illuminating the entire galaxy like rays of golden light, sending convulsions to one's soul.

"The ultimate weapon – the Golden Ray Armor!"

This was the greatest asset of the former Vestigial Tribe that had once dominated the entire Void Zone. Their most powerful and most formidable weapon – the Golden Ray Armor that was commensurate to the Thirty-six Emperors!

The numbers of the Golden Ray Armors were extremely rare even during the Vestigial Tribe's era. The ability to turn the ever weak and powerless Vestigial Tribe, once it was equipped, into a force that was worthy of comparison to the ultimate existences, was unfathomable even to the Thirty-six Emperors.

The ultimate weapons of the Vestigial Tribe were the three armors – the Golden Ray Armor, the Black Star Armor, and the Gray Light Armor. These were their greatest achievements, and it was these three types of armors that enabled the Vestigial Tribe to dominate the entire Void Zone and conquer millions of foreign tribes and civilizations.

The Golden Ray Armor was the ultimate existence of the ultimate weapons!

"The ultimate weapon, the Golden Ray Armor. Senators, when we first discovered the Golden Ray Armor, how the excitement thrilled and soared within us? Even after so many years, we have yet to see the slightest hope of making a breakthrough in the Golden Ray Armor…"

The Senators turned silent. Anyone who laid eyes on the Golden Ray Armor would be ablaze with excitement. However, for so many years, the Atlan civilization had failed to crack the mystery of the Black Star Armor and the Gray Light Armor, let alone the Golden Ray Armor.

They had only been able to recreate some based on the model of the Gray Light Armor but it was miles away from the real thing.

"Without the Brain of Life, no one would be able to activate the Golden Ray Amor. However, when we first discovered the Golden Ray Armor, there was something peculiar inside it. There was a program inside that once activated, may be able to trigger the armor to activate itself. This is likely to be a strategy left behind by the Vestigial Tribe, how terrifying. Even we cannot be sure of the purpose they had intended when they left behind this program. Nevertheless, we can be certain that it will never be something so simplistic."

The Golden Ray Amor was powerful enough to incite fear among these Senators. A Golden Ray Warrior could easily annihilate the entire Atlan civilization. As such, when they had learned that there was a strange program in the Golden Ray Armor, they had made the vigilant decision and did not immediately activate it.

The temptation of the unknown meant risks and dangers, and could even bring about the demise of the entire Atlan civilization. However, now, the Senators had been left with no other options. In the face of Merlin pressing on at every stage and getting closer, even if it was dangerous, they could only activate the Golden Ray Armor.

"Activate it."

A Senator took a deep breath, and slowly approached the Golden Ray Armor. Then, he took out a chip, first discovered by the Atlans to be in the program of the Golden Ray Armor.

However, all these years and none were able to decipher the program, and thus, it was kept under the care of the Senators. Until now, where it could only be re-inserted back into the Golden Ray Armor.

"Tick."

The chip was inserted into the only crack on the Golden Ray Armor, and the entire armor appeared whole as a single entity. However, it had yet to activate.

The Senator pressed down firmly on the red start button on a controller on top of the Golden Ray Armor. This was something that had taken the Atlans a great deal of time to figure out that it was the activation button to the Golden Ray Armor. It was able to boot up the program within that chip and reinvigorate the Golden Ray Armor once again.

"Perhaps, the Vestigial Tribe had deliberately left these things behind, intending to let the later ones to awaken the Golden Ray Armor. Who knows what sort of chaos it will bring…"

The Senator retired back to his place as he silently watched a golden light enshroud the body of the Golden Ray Armor.

"Swoosh."

Suddenly, the closed "eyes" of the Golden Ray Armor abruptly opened, and in the darkness of the space and beneath the leers, it gleamed…

Chapter 842: Formidable!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Rumble."

The dark galaxy world trembled violently as the Golden Ray Armor that lied in the center had not only "opened" its eyes but also began to radiate rays of golden glister.

There were still no signs of life force but for an armor to suddenly move as its gaze swept over the nine Senators, caused them to feel as if they were suffocating.

"Searching for the heritors of the Vestigial Tribe. The heritors of the Vestigial Tribe unfound. Unidentified foreign tribes located approaching the crystal wall. Destroy!"

The Golden Ray Armor was uncontrolled but even then, it possessed a powerful force, and it seemed as though the program was in effect.

A ray of golden light flew toward the warship in which the Senators were located.

The nine Senators were alarmed as they yelled loudly, "Open fire! Open fire! Destroy the Golden Ray Armor at all costs!"

Then, the warship where the nine Senators were on, immediately sounded off its cannons all at once. A series of devastating roars cut across the pitch-black darkness of the galaxy world and blasted directly toward the Golden Ray Armor.

As the specially designated warship of the Senate, this dimension-level warship was seemingly more advanced than all other dimension-level warships of the Atlan civilization. Apart from the void-level warship, it was the most powerful warship of the Atlan civilization.

However, at this moment, under the golden light of the Golden Ray Armor, the powerful beam attacks were like ice under the sun and instantly melted away, and the golden light from the Golden Ray Armor blasted onto the warship.

"Boom."

The warship exploded. In the endless bound of golden light, the nine Senators who held the greatest power and authority of the Atlan civilization, along with the dimension-level warship turned into ashes.

"Continuing the search for the heritors of the Vestigial Tribe!"

The voice of the Golden Ray Armor was monotonous and deadpanned, mechanical-like, and controlled by the program. The chip that had been left by the Vestigial Tribe was the program specifically designed for the Golden Ray Armor.

No one knew what had happened to the Vestigial Tribe, perhaps they had been destroyed by the Thirty-six Emperors, and not a single one was left, leaving only the Golden Ray Armor that they had so carefully protected behind, and this was the hope of the Vestigial

Tribe.

"Whoosh."

The Golden Ray Armor flew out from the dark galaxy world. It took a glance at the translucent crystal wall and appeared somewhat disoriented.

"Scanning all living creatures within the perimeters in search of the heritors of the Vestigial Tribe!"

Then, an invisible fluctuation dispersed into every direction, alerting Merlin, who was also currently in the crystal wall. After all, the entire hopeship was currently enveloped under Merlin's Illusory World, and he could sense even the faintest movement and sound that occurred on it.

"Fluctuation? An unknown life force…"

Merlin muttered to himself before he decisively began to fly toward the direction of the strange life force. During this period, he once again sensed the odd life force, which seemed to be sweeping through the entire hopeship. Merlin was surprised. Were there other foreign tribes in the Atlan Dimension?

After giving it another thought, Merlin felt that it was impossible but he became even more wary and cautious.

"A new civilization has been born but there are still no signs of the heritors of the Vestigial Tribe. Expanding the scope of search!"

The Golden Ray Armor had scanned the entire hopeship and found no one with the blood of the Vestigial Tribe. This was its mission – it must find the descendants of the Vestigial Tribe.

"Whoosh."

Merlin's figure appeared in the void, and his Mind Power immediately picked up the strange life force. It was a piece of armor, one that downright terrified Merlin that appeared just like a puppet.

"This is the Vestigial Tribe's Golden Ray Armor?"

Merlin's expression changed dramatically. He was very familiar with the three armors of the Vestigial Tribe particularly since he had discovered some information from the Black Star Armor from the Matrix. Therefore, he knew from the first sight that this was a Golden Ray Armor.

"Could it be the Vestigial Tribe? No, there's no signs of life force."

Merlin was unnerved and alarmed. Even if he was able to control the Slothful Beast, even if he did have the black cat Didimoss who could reverse the natural order, and even if his own Illusory World was coming close to perfection – in the eyes of the ultimate weapon, the Golden Ray Armor – all those were nothing.

The Golden Ray Warrior of the Vestigial Tribe was in a class with the Thirty-six Emperors,

and even the Slothful Beast could not compare.

Except, there were no signs of life force in this Golden Ray Armor at all. This meant that there was no one from the Vestigial Tribe inside or maybe this was just one of their special tactics. A Golden Ray Armor without a user, regardless of how powerful it was, still had its limits.

However, Merlin refused to take the risk as he had a dreadful, petrifying feeling that the Golden Ray Armor was getting stronger each moment it drew closer. He immediately summoned the Slothful Beast.

As soon as the colossal Slothful Beast appeared, its gigantic body was almost pressed against the crystal wall. Meanwhile, a mechanical voice sounded from the Golden Ray Armor, "Foreign tribe. No signs of the descendants of the Vestigial Tribe. They have stolen the Black Star Armor, and must be destroyed!"

It seemed that in the Golden Ray Armor's program, all there was apart from its mission to search for the descendants of the Vestigial Tribe was to destroy. From the basic way the program had been designed, one could easily speculate just how bloodthirsty and ruthless the Vestigial Tribe had once been. It was not surprising that most of the civilizations in the Void Zone had come together in a united fight against the Vestigial Tribe.

"Roar…."

The Slothful Beast opened its mouth wide and charged toward the Golden Ray Armor, the force of the impact was strong enough to crush an entire dimension.

"Gravitational field!"

The Golden Ray Armor had not even made an effort to dodge. Instead, it merely pointed toward the Slothful Beast, and an unimaginable force of gravity instantly restricted it. This was not Roman's gravitational field. His gravitational field was something that even the ultimate existences struggled with, let alone a Slothful Beast.

However, the Golden Ray Armor's sheer force of gravitational field, with a single finger, had instantly elicited a harrowing wail from the Slothful Beast. Its distress and agony were clear.

"Bam."

Under the restraints of the gravitational field, the Slothful Beast fell heavily on the Dimension Core. Amid its pitiful cries, it appeared to be suffering greatly.

"Quick, get up! Get up!"

Merlin repeatedly tried to use the hallucinating spell to control the Slothful Beast. However, no matter how hard it struggled, it was to no avail as it was still bound by the gravitational field to the Dimension Core. Even the Slothful Beast was no match for the devastating gravitational field.

"So, this is the Golden Ray Armor, and those who adorn it will be as powerful as the Thirty-six Emperors?"

It was the first time Merlin had ever seen the Golden Ray Armor, and the first time he realized just how powerful it was. Although he had heard tales of the power of the Vestigial Tribe whether it was the void-level warship or Roman's gravitational field, Merlin had thought that even though the Vestigial Tribe may have been powerful, their powers were still limited and did not extend to the Slothful Beast.

However, now, when he was truly faced against the uncontrolled Golden Ray Armor, that was by no means a true Golden Ray Warrior. Even so, the Slothful Beast had not been able to withstand even a single hit from it as the gravitational field had rendered the Slothful Beast powerless as it was instantly confined.

The Golden Ray Armor turned toward Merlin, and once again pointed. Suddenly, Merlin felt that his body was also constrained by the gravitational field. Although there came no fall, only that he was restrained as the Golden Ray Armor swiftly approached him.

"I can't even use the power of the natural order. The Illusory World has no effect against the Golden Ray Armor, and the Mind Power cannot penetrate through the armor either."

For the first time, Merlin felt like he was completely "defeated", and for the first time, he faced such a powerful entity that had rendered him utterly defenseless.

It was at that moment that Merlin realized why the existence of the Thirty-six Emperors had been revered by the hundreds of millions of civilizations. They were at the peak of the entire Void Zone, and had reached the very top of it, and was completely different from the other ultimate existences.

The Thirty-six Emperors were also ultimate existences but they were on another level from the other ultimate existences. The difference was so wide they could not be compared.

"Even though I had thought of the possible dangers in the Atlan Dimension, and even considered the possibility of death, never would I have imagined that I would encounter the Golden Ray Armor, and even meet my end at the hands of a piece of armor…"

Merlin laughed. The Golden Ray Armor that was controlled by no one was akin to a puppet. However, now, Merlin was about to be killed by said puppet.

"Sputter."

The golden light on the Golden Ray Armor suddenly flashed and flickered incessantly. As the Golden Ray Armor stopped, and the red beams in its eyes continued to flash and flicker.

"It's out of energy?"

Merlin suddenly had a thought. Seeing the state of the Golden Ray Armor, he was reminded of the Vestigial Tribe's warship, and there would usually appear such a red beam when it was out of energy. The Golden Ray Armor was so powerful that it could rival the Thirty-six Emperors. There was no way that it required no energy.

Sure, it was just as Merlin had guessed. The Golden Ray Armor was out of energy, and very soon, even the gravitational field that confined Merlin and the Slothful Beast disappeared. Before the Golden Ray Armor was able to recharge its energy, it could not continue to restrain Merlin with the gravitational field.

"Recharging power core! Scanning, energy discovered. Energy password discovered, entering password…"

The Golden Ray Armor mumbled to itself as it paid no heed to Merlin and the Slothful Beast. Instead, it headed straight toward the Dimension Core.

"Rumble."

It was unclear what the Golden Ray Armor had done to the Dimension Core. The Dimension Core of the entire Atlan Dimension had always been a gigantic energy depot, seemingly endless.

However, now, under the golden light of the Golden Ray Armor, it had begun to quake violently. Suddenly, all of the warships of the Atlan civilization had detected powerful energy fluctuations.

The Dimension Core was the foundation of the Atlan Dimension. It had originally been thought to have harbored an endless source of energy, and the Atlan civilization had even once regarded it as a gift from the Vestigial Tribe.

However, now it would seem that this Dimension Core had obviously been purposely reserved for the Golden Ray Armor or, in other words, this was merely a means of the Vestigial Tribe to rebuild and revitalize the blood of the Vestigial Tribe.

Unfortunately, not a single descendant of the Vestigial Tribe was to be found.

"It turns out the Dimension Core of the Atlan civilization is the power of the Golden Ray Armor."

Merlin was astonished. How enormous must the Atlan civilization's Dimension Core be?

From its capability to sustain the Atlan civilization alone, it was clear of how terrifying it was as it appeared almost endless and incessant.

However, this was also proof of how powerful the Golden Ray Armor was. It had once grappled with the Thirty-six Emperors. If it were not for the fact that their numbers were few, the outcome might have been less than certain to say.

As such, the energy required by the Golden Ray Armor was naturally unfathomable by the ordinary mind. Otherwise, the Vestigial Tribe would not have possibly left behind an endless source of energy that allowed for the development of the Atlan civilization for such a long time. They had purposefully left it for the sake of the Golden Ray Armor, and it just so happened to have been discovered, and a portion of it used by the Atlans.

"It's too late to escape now. The Golden Ray Armor is far too strong, and it's stronger than anything and anyone I've ever encountered! This is my only chance. The Golden Ray Armor will need some time to devour the energy, and it'll be at its weakest during this moment…"

Merlin stared fixedly at the Golden Ray Armor as a wild and outrageous thought crossed his mind.

Chapter 843: The Maxim, Devour l

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Since there's no way to escape, then let's put up a fight!"

A sliver of madness crept onto Merlin's expression as he leaped right onto the Slothful Beast's back, enveloped by the Flame and Darkness Maxim.

"Slothful Beast, go, unleash your greatest power!"

Merlin was prepared to put his life on the line to put up a fight. The Golden Ray Armor was terrifying, and if he were not to do so, then both Merlin and the Slothful Beast would find their end in the Atlan Dimension.

The actions of the Golden Ray Armor earlier had been incredibly atrocious and merciless as it brutishly annihilated, and he would have died had he not been able to resist. Therefore, Merlin did not hold any hopes of luck.

"Roar…"

The Slothful Beast seemed to have sensed the danger as well. Even though it was slow and was trapped in Merlin's illusion, it was still able to sense danger.

The Slothful Beast had felt threatened by the Golden Ray Armor's gravitational field earlier. Now, it exerted everything it had as it lifted its giant, thick legs for the first time and stomped toward the Golden Ray Armor.

Originally, the Slothful Beast's strongest move was to devour as it could devour an entire dimension. However, the Golden Ray Armor was so powerful that it was as powerful as the Thirty-six Emperors. Even if it was swallowed into the Slothful Beast's body, it could still easily escape. As such, the Slothful Beast might as well stomp on it.

With the Slothful Beast's power of a single stamp, an entire powerful dimension be immediately destroyed. After all, in the vast Void Zone, there were very few entities that could intimidate the Slothful Beast into unleashing its strongest force.

The Golden Ray Armor ignored Merlin and the Slothful Beast. It appeared that it was still grasping onto that humongous Dimension Core as it continued to absorb the enormous energy contained inside.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo."

The Atlan Dimension's Dimension Core was incomparably ginormous, and its energy seemingly endless. However, under the constant drain of the Golden Ray Armor, it was shrinking at a devastatingly rapid pace. God knew how many dimension-level warships could sustain on such a tremendous amount of energy.

Even if the Atlan civilization was destroyed and countless civilizations were born, it would not consume much energy. The energy contained within this Dimension Core was enough to sustain the rise and fall of countless civilizations.

However, at this moment, even the gigantic Dimension Core was also being turned into vast energy absorbed by the Golden Ray Armor. Once the Golden Ray Armor had consumed the energy of the Dimension Core, then the Atlan Dimension would have truly been exhausted and perished. If they were not able to leave the Atlan Dimension to enter the Void Zone on time, then only death awaited them.

However, it was no longer a battle between Merlin and the Atlan civilization but a battle between Merlin and the Vestigial Tribe. The Golden Ray Armor left by the Vestigial Tribe, along with the other arrangements, had all been in preparation for this day.

Although the Vestigial Tribe had been wiped out, now, it was just as if Merlin was fighting against the powerful tribe that had once swept through the entire Void Zone.

"Boom."

Merlin had no intention of using the power of the Maxim against the Golden Ray Armor. His eyes glanced over to the Slothful Beast. Now was the moment when the Golden Ray Armor was at its weakest, and it was the Slothful Beast's best chance.

"Bam."

The Slothful Beast gave a crushing stomp, and the entire Dimension Core shook. How powerful was the Slothful Beast's strength? With its stomp, the Slothful Beast had sent the Golden Ray Armor into the Dimension Core, and even the sturdiest Dimension Core had lost an edge as it collapsed.

"Did we do it?"

Merlin quickly flew over and looked over the edge of the Dimension Core that had collapsed. However, it was awfully deep, and not even the Mind Power was able to sense anything.

Merlin could no longer sense the specific life force of the Golden Ray Armor either but he felt something was off. The Slothful Beast may be strong but could such a blow be the end of the Golden Ray Armor? Even though the Golden Ray Armor was out of energy, it was still the pinnacle legacy of the Vestigial Tribe, the ultimate weapon that was in a class with the Thirty-six Emperors. Could it be destroyed so easily?

However, Merlin soon had his answer. He glanced at the huge Dimension Core as it was still continuously vibrating, its size shrinking dramatically. The hole caused by the Slothful Beast was rapidly falling apart, and re-exposed the Golden Ray Armor.

The Golden Ray Armor appeared completely unharmed as it continued to absorb the Dimension Core. Merlin's heart sank. If it could withstand even the Slothful Beast's strongest blow, then what could destroy this Golden Ray Armor?

"Slothful Beast, attack again!"

Merlin made a determined effort, seeing as he had no other effective ways right now either. He could only rely on the Slothful Beast to attack incessantly. Thus, the attack of fury raged on again and again. The Dimension Core constantly shook, and time and time again the Golden Ray Armor was stepped onto the Dimension Core. No matter what it did, the Slothful Beast could not inflict any damage onto the Golden Ray Armor.

Even without energy, the Golden Ray Armor could not be easily destroyed by just any ultimate existence. Only an ultimate existence such as the Thirty-six Emperors could destroy the Golden Ray Armor, and even they would have a hard time doing so as the former battle with the Golden Ray Warriors of the Vestigial Tribe and the Thirty-six Emperors had been extremely challenging for them as well.

"Pom-pom-pom."

Time and time again, the Slothful Beast stomped and trampled. Had they been in the Void Zone, such reckless attacks from the Slothful Beast would have already destroyed countless dimensions/ However, they were all useless against the Golden Ray Armor, and with the Golden Ray Armor absorbing more and more energy, the golden light surrounding its body appeared ever more dazzling and bright.

Merlin knew that the power of the Golden Ray Armor was gradually being restored. Once recovered, he would no longer have any means to deal with it.

"Stay calm. I must remain calm."

Merlin's mind was blank at this time. He knew that this was the greatest crisis he had ever encountered since he had consolidated the Maxim and acquired the Slothful Beast. Therefore, the more critical the situation was, the more necessary it was for him to keep his calm and clear his line of thought.

"The Golden Ray Armor was left behind by the Vestigial Tribe but the Vestigial Tribe is long gone. There cannot have been any survivors left, and there are no signs of life force inside the Golden Ray Armor. Moreover, the Golden Ray Armor must be equipped by only those of the Vestigial Tribe who possessed the Brain of Life to become a Golden Ray Warrior. Now, there were no signs of life force inside the Golden Ray Armor, meaning there was no one inside it. Then, for the Golden Ray Armor to be able to act freely and move about, this armor was most probably controlled by the programming left behind by the Vestigial Tribe. It was no different from a puppet."

Merlin's thoughts were getting clearer and clearer, and his analysis was right. The Golden Ray Armor was controlled by a program. This may be the only flaw the Golden Ray Armor had but how could Merlin use this to his advantage?

"Programming…The Maxim?"

An idea struck his mind as Merlin thought of the Matrix. Back then, the Matrix had been capable of devouring the intelligent system of the Atlan civilization's warships. Moreover, the Matrix had become even more otherworldly after devouring the intelligent system, and its change had lent to Merlin being uncertain of exactly what capabilities it held now.

"Matrix, if I were to have you devour a programming sequence, what do I need to do?"

Merlin's Mind Power probed into the empire-level warship and asked the Matrix.

"You need only approach the program's carrier, Master, and issue an order, and any program can be devoured!"

The Matrix's voice was as cold as ever.

"Devour any program? All programs can be devoured?"

Merlin noticed the technicality of the Matrix's response.

"Master, even the most rigid programs can be devoured."

After receiving a second confirmation from the Matrix, Merlin took a deep breath, and a glimmer of hope gleamed in his eyes. This may be the last chance.

"Boom."

The entire Dimension Core was still collapsing and shrinking rapidly. Of course, half of the energy contained inside of it had been drained by the Golden Ray Armor, and many of the starships that had relied on the energy from the Dimension Core had descended into chaos.

The Altans on the starships suddenly realized that they were no longer able to obtain energy, and without the energy, they were unable to transmute food, drinking water, and could no longer operate the warships, spaceships, and others. In short, the energy was key. Without it, these Atlans had no other ways.

The Atlan civilization was built upon inexhaustible energy. Without it, there would be no need for a siege from powerful enemies. Te Atlan civilization would slowly fall apart on its own.

As such, now that the Golden Ray Armor had devoured the infinite energy within Dimension Core, the Atlan civilization faced an impasse, and many Atlans had fallen into chaos.

Merlin, on the other hand, had been observing the Golden Ray Armor and discovered that it was concentrating on absorbing the energy from the Dimension Core, and paid no attention at all to the Slothful Beast's attacks.

Merlin gritted his teeth. If he wanted to get close to the Golden Ray Armor, now was the best time to do so.

"Slothful Beast, go."

Merlin once again controlled the Slothful Beast and stomped onto the Golden Ray Armor. This time, however, Merlin stood on the back of the Slothful Beast.

"Bam."

The Golden Ray Armor remained motionless, and Merlin inhaled deeply. The Flame Maxim and Darkness Maxim surrounded him as he flew directly toward the Golden Ray Armor.

Seeing that he was closing in on the Golden Ray Armor, Merlin grew more and more hopeful. This was his only opportunity.

Merlin's Flame Maxim turned into a huge fire god-demon as its hands reached out to grab the Golden Ray Armor. However, the Golden Ray Armor acted. While it was indifferent toward the Slothful Beast's attack, in the face of Merlin's attack, it suddenly moved. With an effortless point, a powerful gravity suddenly inflicted upon Merlin. In an instant, Merlin felt as if his body was about to be torn apart.

"Matrix, devour all the programs inside the Golden Ray Armor!"

Merlin yelled, and at the moment the Maxim was broken, he hastily retreated. The Slothful Beast stomped at the Golden Ray Armor just in time, which allowed Merlin to escape from the gravitational field.

"Phew…"

Merlin heaved a long sigh of relief. Had it been any longer and he would have probably been crushed to pieces by the gravitational field. Not even the Maxim would be able to withstand it.

"I wonder if the Matrix will be able to succeed?"

Although Merlin was far away from the Golden Ray Armor, his Mind Power was still keeping a close watch on the Golden Ray Armor that was enveloped by golden light.

Chapter 844: The Matrix, Devour II

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Initially, the Dimension Core quaked constantly, incessantly devoured and absorbed by the Golden Ray Armor. However, after Merlin had commanded the Matrix to devour, the Dimension Core had stopped shuddering.

Moreover, Merlin had observed that the Golden Ray Armor seemed to have halted as well, maintaining its posture without movement.

Merlin felt a burst of glee. He did not know what happened to the Golden Ray Armor but guessed that it had something to do with the Matrix.

"Matrix, how is it?"

Merlin asked hurriedly.

Nonetheless, after a long moment, the Matrix had no updates. Merlin did not know what was happening with the Matrix's devouring of the Golden Ray Armor but seeing that the Golden Ray Armor was motionless, it looked like the Matrix was doing its part.

Thus, Merlin was not frantic and started waiting patiently.

After a lengthy wait, Merlin's mind resounded with the Matrix's voice. "Beep, devouring program complete. The Golden Ray Armor's control program is obtained. Exert control?"

"The control program is obtained?"

Merlin was slightly taken aback but soon recovered his wits. Was it not merely a program that had controlled the Golden Ray Armor? Now that the Matrix had successfully absorbed the program, did it not mean that the Matrix had controlled the Golden Ray Armor?

With this in mind, Merlin said softly, "Matrix, control the Golden Ray Armor."

"Beep, control program of the Golden Ray Armor has been obtained!"

Merlin's heart was filled with unparalleled enthusiasm. He was somewhat incredulous now. The Vestigial Tribe's peak ultimate weapon, the pinnacle of their strength – the Golden Ray Armor that the Atlan civilization was unable to decode despite countless years of research, was now in Merlin's grasp?

After gradually calming his emotions, Merlin glanced at the Golden Ray Armor, then flew toward it directly.

As the Golden Ray Armor was under the Matrix's control, it had stopped absorbing the Dimension Core, lying there quietly. Even when Merlin approached, it did not react. It looked like it was controlled by the Matrix.

Merlin stretched out a hand and placed it gently on the Golden Ray Armor. A cold sensation blossomed on his fingertip. This was the Golden Ray Armor, a formidable item manufactured by the incessant efforts of the Vestigial Tribe to contend against the Thirty-six Emperors.

"Matrix, can I wear the Golden Ray Armor?"

"You can!"

After the Matrix's icy voice rang out, Merlin watched as the Golden Ray Armor shone with a dazzling golden ray that enveloped Merlin.

At the same time, the Golden Ray Armor which looked so solid turned into liquid instantly, wounding around Merlin's body as if it had grown there in the first place.

Soon, the golden glow of the liquid armor surged ceaselessly, swiftly submerging Merlin. Simultaneously, data regarding the Golden Ray Armor sprang up in Merlin's mind.

This was data contained in the program devoured by the Matrix. This data explained in detail the Vestigial Tribe's initial plans. The content of the program left by the Vestigial Tribe was to seek out members of the Vestigial Tribe. Anyone or anything obstructing their way was to be destroyed thoroughly. In addition, the Atlan Dimension Core was meant for the Golden Ray Armor.

It was just that, in so many years, no one had activated the Golden Ray Armor. At first, the Atlans had discovered the Golden Ray Armor within the crystal wall long ago but they were incomparably cautious, realizing that once they had activated the Golden Ray Armor, they might be in danger. Therefore, they had never activated it until faced with the threat posed by Merlin where the nine Senators had no other choice but to activate the Golden Ray Armor.

Now, it was Merlin who had reaped an extreme benefit, receiving an ultimate weapon, the power of which even the Slothful Beast could not compare to.

Nevertheless, after Merlin carefully studied the data in the program, he learned of its flaws.

This program was merely something the Vestigial Tribe had created back then to control the Golden Ray Armor simply. It could only unleash about sixty, seventy percent of the Golden Ray Armor's capability.

Eighty percent of it would result in the mightiest existence below the Thirty-six Emperors. If it was the true Vestigial Tribe who used the Brain of Life to obtain the Golden Ray Armor's acknowledgment, only then was that a true Golden Ray Warrior.

Only these Golden Ray Warriors could compare to the Thirty-six Emperors. As for this program that controlled the Golden Ray Armor, it was limited in unleashing the capability, unable to match up to the Thirty-six Emperors.

Even so, if Merlin "wore" this Golden Ray Armor now, he could explode with unprecedented power, practically becoming the strongest existence below the Thirty-six Emperors.

"What a treasure I've obtained. Still, although the Golden Ray Armor is powerful, it consumes too much energy. Without the Atlan Dimension Core that's filled with endless energy, I won't be able to mobilize the Golden Ray Armor at will."

Merlin finally understood how important the Dimension Core was toward the Golden Ray Armor. Therefore, Merlin controlled the Golden Ray Armor and began to continue absorbing, devouring the Dimension Core.

"Rumble."

The Dimension Core continued to shudder violently. The Atlan civilization was still unable to change its fate. As the Dimension Core was incessantly absorbed and engulfed by Merlin's Golden Ray Armor, the Atlan civilization had fallen into a petrifying situation where they had no energy to use for now. This was a greater blow than any other to the Atlan civilization.

Many Atlans were driving their warships, relying on the last bit of power to dash frantically out of the Atlan Dimension, into the Void Zone. This was their only way to survive. After all, the Void Zone had endless energy.

However, there were even more Atlans who could not leave the Atlan Dimension, waiting for their doom in despair.

"The Atlan civilization isn't a threat anymore…"

When he saw this scene, Merlin felt no pity. He knew that the current Atlan civilization was no longer a great threat. The hopeship was controlled by him and the void-level warship could not be manufactured. The Atlans in the Void Zone had essentially lost their foundation, and could only rely on the God Alliance.

To Merlin who had received the Golden Ray Armor, a mere God Alliance was no threat as well.

"The Matrix… This time, it's thanks to the Matrix again. Although it's not the Brian of Life, I'm afraid not even the Vestigial Tribe's Brain of Life is as wondrous as the Matrix."

Merlin had averted who-knew-how-many crises thanks to the Matrix. It was mystical indeed. Furthermore, having absorbed the Vestigial Tribe's control program made for the Golden Ray Armor, he did not know how the Matrix would change.

"Bang bang bang."

Merlin's heart leaped. He noticed that the light veil covering the hopeship was now taking hits from a formidable force. The light veil had also relied on absorbing energy from the Dimension Core to maintain its powerful defense.

By now, the energy was all absorbed by Merlin, and the mysterious light veil was taking such a beating. Thus, it soon shattered. A fat cat of incomparable size immediately landed on the hopeship. It was the black cat Didimoss.

"Didimoss?"

"Merlin? You're here. I thought that the indestructible light veil turned out to be so fragile. Or was it you who broke the light veil?"

The black cat Didimoss' figure rapidly shrank and it turned into a fat black cat once more, hopping onto Merlin's shoulder.

Merlin scanned with his Mind Power. Although the black cat Didimoss had only annihilated a portion of the dimension-level warships summoned by the Senators, as the Dimension Core had vanished, these warships had lost their supply of power. They dared not attack the black cat Didimoss, and had left.

"I guess I did. Currently, there's nothing in the Atlan civilization that can threaten us."

Merlin did not know how to explain. The matter of the Matrix and the Golden Ray Armor was difficult to explain.

"Merlin, your armor isn't bad at all. Tsk tsk, it's a treasure of the Vestigial Tribe, right?"

The black cat Didimoss' sharp claws swiped across Merlin's Golden Ray Armor gently but left not a single scratch. Naturally, the black cat Didimoss knew this was not an ordinary armor.

However, the black cat Didimoss did not know that this was the Vestigial Tribe's ultimate weapon. Merlin did not explain as well but looked toward the translucent crystal wall once more. From the data obtained by the Matrix, Merlin knew that this was created by the Vestigial Tribe to leave behind some treasures.

Thus, Merlin led the black cat Didimoss, and kept the Slothful Beast. Then, he flew toward the crystal wall.

"Rattle."

Merlin landed in front of the crystal wall. The Golden Ray Armor was too conspicuous. With Merlin's single thought, the Golden Ray Armor started to transform incessantly like water, turning into an ordinary Wizard robe, draping over Merlin.

Nevertheless, only Merlin knew that this Wizard robe was transformed from the Vestigial Tribe's most impressive ultimate weapon – the Golden Ray Armor. Other than the Thirty-six Emperors, no one could threaten Merlin who wore the Golden Ray Armor.

"What a pretty crystal wall. Merlin, can I eat this crystal wall? It must taste delicious…"

The black cat Didimoss licked his lips as his eyes gleamed with desire. Merlin felt powerless. Didimoss' innate ability was formidable indeed but thanks to this ability, the black cat Didimoss had turned into a true-blue "chowhound", wanting to eat everything he saw.

"You can't eat this for now. After I've retrieved the items within the crystal wall, then you can eat it."

Merlin knew that the crystal wall contained immense energy, which might be useful to the black cat Didimoss. Nonetheless, he had to retrieve the items left behind by the Vestigial Tribe first.

"Swish."

Merlin brought the black cat Didimoss into a subspace that looked like a starry sky. In here, Black Star Armors and Gray Light Armors were laid out neatly. Merlin was astounded at this sight.

Thirty Black Star Armors, and over a hundred Gray Light Armors. With enough Brains of Life enabling people to wear these armors to become Black Star Warriors and Gray Light Warriors, they would be on par with thirty ultimate existences, relatively powerful beings among ultimate existences.

With such a tremendous force, it was enough to sweep over countless civilizations of the Void Zone!

It was a shame that Merlin did not have the Brain of Life. The program devoured by the Matrix was created expressly for the Golden Ray Armor by the Vestigial Tribe, and could only control the Golden Ray Armor.

It was a pity with so many Black Star Armors and Gray Light Armors that could not be utilized. Still, Merlin did not let them go but swept all of them into his Spatial Ring.

Who knew? One day they might serve a purpose.

Other than the Black Star Armors and the Gray Light Armors, there was nothing else in this subspace created by the Vestigial Tribe that caught Merlin's eye. After leaving the subspace, Merlin wielded the Golden Ray Armor's strength with one wave of his hand, shattering the subspace thoroughly.

Chapter 845: Lord God-level Divinity!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Rumble."

The subspace used by the Vestigial Tribe to store their most valuable treasures was now destroyed. The treasures within had been cleaned out by Merlin. Even if he could not use them now, it did not mean he could not use them in the future.

Moreover, even if he could not use them, there was Roman who was obsessed with the Vestigial Tribe's treasures. In particular, the three types of armors were the Vestigial Tribe's most precious treasures. Merlin might be able to exchange them for something good.

It should be known that Roman's stealth flying ship was impressive. Its speed alone had surpassed any casting tool or warship Merlin had ever seen, and it could conceal forces.

"Merlin, are we going to leave the Atlan Dimension?"

The black cat Didimoss glanced around. The hopeship was already controlled completely by Merlin. As there was no Dimension Core to supply the energy, even the hopeship's fortress cannons could not be activated anymore.

"Leave?"

Merlin shook his head, murmuring, "There's still plenty of good stuff in the Atlan Dimension. We mustn't miss this opportunity."

"What other good stuff is there in this dimension?"

Didimoss hopped onto Merlin's shoulder. He did not quite like this dimension, for he was not as free and easy as in the Void Zone. In here, there was a feeling of "confinement".

This was due to the unique power set up by the Vestigial Tribe to protect the entire dimension from being wrecked by ultimate existences, and to cut off the Void Zone's power of the natural order.

From the Golden Ray Armor's control program, Merlin did not discover anything about methods to cut off the natural order. Although the Atlan Dimension Core had disappeared, and being absorbed and refined by Merlin, this power that cut off the natural order still did not vanish.

"Found it!"

Merlin suddenly opened his eyes. Earlier, he had used Mind Power to search for the secret base that manufactured void-level warships in the hopeship. This secret base was hidden indeed, buried underground. Anyone without the necessary identification would not be able to enter.

"Swish."

In one step, Merlin traversed through space and came to a valley that looked quite wild and overgrown. The Atlan Dimension was unlike the Void Zone for it had space that could be traveled through. The Void Zone had no space, and one could only use a warship or casting tools to slowly fly along.

However, even an ultimate existence who flew on their own would have a pitiful pace. Wishing to travel the entire Void Zone was a fool's dream. After all, the Void Zone was far too vast and immense, even for ultimate existences. Only existences such as the Thirty-six Emperors would dare claim that they had traveled through the entire Void Zone.

Other than them, only the Vestigial Tribe had this ability. The formidable spaceships manufactured by the Vestigial Tribe excelled in speed, able to swiftly cut through wide swathes of regions. This was the true reason the Vestigial Tribe could sweep the entire Void Zone.

As the Vestigial Tribe had these spaceships of extreme speed, they were able to spread the flames of war to any place in the Void Zone. In the end, all the civilizations had no choice but to join forces and battle the Vestigial Tribe under the Thirty-six Emperors' leadership.

Without these spaceships of extreme speed, even if the Vestigial Tribe had many fighters, it would be useless. If war erupted in one place but ended up requiring ten thousand years of delay in the journey, the war would have ended long ago. It would be completely futile.

Merlin had heard Roman speaking of this before, only he had not seen the Vestigial Tribe's spaceships of extreme speed even until today.

"Break!"

Merlin had used Mind Power to discover this secret base underground, so he could not bother thinking of a plan, simply using his Maxim to deliver a ruthless blow. The entire valley started to shake and soon, a colossal crack appeared in the valley, revealing a large black door.

Merlin carried the black cat Didimoss, and walked through the black door. In front of the door, there was a unique identification system. If it was anyone else, they could only force their way in if they could not enter. Nonetheless, Merlin did not wish to destroy the things inside. Moreover, his Illusory World had enveloped the entire hopeship. As long as they were intelligent creatures, who could escape?

This was a terrifying aspect of Merlin's refined Mind Power system. If there had been an accomplished user of the Illusory World like Merlin among the Thirty-six Emperors, the Vestigial Tribe could not possibly have become such a scary civilization, taking over the entire Void Zone.

"Open the passage."

Merlin immediately commanded the Atlans in the secret base. These people's minds were controlled by Merlin, so very soon, the door was opened. A strict security measure became worthless before Merlin.

"Lead the way to where the void-level warships are manufactured."

Merlin said to the Atlans who came forward to receive him. Their eyes were blank and lifeless, clearly under Merlin's Mind Control.

Thus, he followed these Atlans and gradually headed downward. During this period, Merlin had noticed various hidden weapons. If one had forced their way in, even an Honored Legend would be killed.

It was obvious that this secret base was highly prioritized by the Atlans. After all, this base was manufacturing the Atlan civilization's ultimate weapon – the void-level warship that could kill an ultimate existence.

"Whoosh."

After a narrow passage, an incomparably spacious hall appeared before Merlin. As he glanced downward, there were still endless floors below, at least equivalent to a building with a hundred stories.

The Altans had built such an enormous underground facility. Still, if one had considered the countless robots owned by the Atlans, constructing such a massive project was not that surprising.

Each of these halls had a different function. The uppermost hall merely had people who performed preliminary work or researched the theories.

The second hall manufactured the engine furnace of the warship, the third hall manufactured the control system, and so on. In short, each hall contained everything that was needed but merely manufacturing a part of the void-level warship.

In the end, after all manufacturing was completed, everything was assembled on the final floor. This was in full accordance with the Vestigial Tribe's method of manufacturing the void-level warship. With this method, when ores and energy were sufficient, the Vestigial Tribe could even mass-produce void-level warships.

These void-level warships had killed an unknown number of ultimate existences in that catastrophe. After all, before the Vestigial Tribe swept over the Void Zone, millions of civilizations and even ultimate existences were innumerable. It was not like now when ultimate contenders were unprecedentedly rare.

In so many years after that initial war, many foreign civilizations had even gone extinct.

After observing the secret base where the Atlan civilization manufactured void-level warships, Merlin was once again deeply shocked. The Vestigial Tribe's power was built upon non-stop conquers of dimensions and foreign civilizations for the sake of obtaining more resources and energy. After obtaining these elements, the Vestigial Tribe could manufacture, in the shortest period, void-level warships that could kill ultimate existences.

It was not surprising that the Void Zone's countless tribes were unable to resist the Vestigial Tribe if it were not for the Thirty-six Emperors. The Vestigial Tribe's method of producing the void-level warships and other warships was made just for war.

In terms of fighting ability, the Vestigial Tribe was at the top. The entire development of the civilization headed toward the call of war. The latest technology was forever exploited by the Vestigial Tribe to be used in wars.

Soon, Merlin came to the final floor. When the door of the final floor opened, Merlin instantly detected a familiar force.

It was not the force of the void-level warship but divinity!

"Divinity?"

Merlin was slightly stunned. Before this, his Mind Power had not examined carefully. Naturally, he did not know that there was divinity in this secret base that manufactured void-level warships.

Furthermore, from this strand of divinity, Merlin perceived an overwhelming godly might. Most gods had formidable godly might but to the current Merlin, it would be of no use.

However, the divinity here could still exude an immense godly might. It was certainly not any ordinary divinity.

"It's divinity… Merlin, this would be delicious!"

The black cat Didimoss' eyes shone as his previous "dispirited" expression was swept aside. Divinity was the gods' most mystical power. It was said that if the divinity was not extinguished, the god would not die.

Therefore, no matter which tribe or civilization, they could all use this divinity. Even the Atlan civilization could use divinity as an energy source.

In particular, this divinity was clearly not ordinary.

"Swish."

Merlin paid no mind to Didimoss and flew toward the source of the divinity's force. Merlin soon came before a gigantic pond and saw that it was filled with countless divinity, glittering with dazzling radiance.

These strands of divinity had been bound by the Atlans through some special method. Nonetheless, even though they were bound, that terrifying godly might was still unbridled.

Merlin went forward slightly and could feel that majestic might. It was not ordinary gods, even surpassing upper rank gods. It was… Lord God!

This divinity was Lord God-level divinity, and the amount was not insignificant.

It must be known that every Lord God was comparable to an ultimate existence. It was far too challenging to kill a Lord God. Even during the Spell Caster civilization's war against the God Alliance, no gods had died.

Previously, they had surrounded the Lord God of Light with great difficulty but he even slipped away at the final moment. It was enough to see that Lord Gods were troublesome. Killing them and extracting their divinity was too difficult.

"The Atlans hadn't entered the Void Zone before this. Naturally, it's impossible that they had killed these gods. In that case… It's left behind by the Vestigial Tribe?"

Merlin recalled that back then, the Atlans had handed a huge amount of Lord God-level divinity to the God Alliance. It was thanks to this divinity that the God Alliance would join forces with the Atlan civilization in their war against the Spell Caster civilization.

Chapter 846: Control I

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Divinity, so much divinity. One, two, three strands… Merlin, there's now fewer than ninety-eight strands of divinity!"

The black cat Didimoss saw that there were ninety-eight strands of divinity, and his eyes contained a desiring glint. Usually, even one strand of Lord God-level divinity was an impressive find but there were ninety-eight strands here.

Merlin was shaken to his core. Ninety-eight strands of Lord God-level divinity – if those from the God Alliance saw this, they would be shocked to the extreme.

With so much divinity, if it was used by an ordinary Lord God, they could even approach the level of the Thirty-six Emperors. A Lord God with decent talent might even be on par with the Thirty-six Emperors.

After all, although this Lord God-level divinity had many uses, it was the greatest aid for gods, especially Lord Gods, who could absorb this divinity, obtaining some enlightenment regarding the divinity owner's understanding of the natural order.

Furthermore, among these strands of divinity, some were exceptionally large, emanating a godly might that was different from the rest. Those must be Lord Gods who were even stronger than the average ultimate existences or a being that was second only to the Thirty-six Emperors.

"Vestigial Tribe, it must be the Vestigial Tribe. Only the Vestigial Tribe could slay ninety-eight Lord Gods!"

Merlin slowly approached this pool of divinity. There were ninety-eight strands of divinity, each strand giving off a different force. This meant that each strand represented one Lord God.

Only the Vestigial Tribe would have the formidable capability to kill ninety-eight Lord Gods. To be more accurate, there should have been more than ninety-eight. Previously, the Atlan civilization had already handed over some Lord God-level divinity to entice the God Alliance.

"What's the reason the Vestigial Tribe had extracted so much divinity?"

Merlin noticed there were some words on the side of the pond. It was the language of the Vestigial Tribe. Merlin used the Matrix to scan and translate. The meaning was straightforward – it was the Vestigial Tribe's explanation of the Lord God-level divinity.

It was vaguely mentioned that the energy contained in the Lord God-level divinity was immense but to the Vestigial Tribe, they would not use this divinity as a power source. Although Lord God-level divinity had many uses, being functional to any intelligent tribe, what the Vestigial Tribe focused on was the link between this divinity and the natural order.

The Vestigial Tribe had swept over the Void Zone, indirectly challenging the Void Zone's natural order. Gods were born directly from the natural order, so there was nothing better than Lord God-level divinity if one wished to study the natural order.

Therefore, for the Vestigial Tribe, this divinity was merely used for research. The Atlan civilization, thanks to the enormous Dimension Core supplying endless energy, would not use the divinity purely for energy purposes as well. Currently, they were incapable of challenging the natural order. What they studied was the gods' tremendous power.

Although the Atlans claimed themselves to be descendants of the Vestigial Tribe, they knew that to reach the level of the Vestigial Tribe was too difficult. Thus, they would not let go of any opportunity to increase their strength. This Lord God-level divinity was naturally the best research subject.

Due to the divinity's high value, these strands were still preserved after such a long time.

"Merlin, can I swallow the divinity?"

The black cat Didimoss wore an expression of unparalleled longing.

This divinity was incomparably precious. Even Merlin wished to possess them. His Illusory World was now on the right track, only needing the passage of time to be thoroughly perfected in the future, reaching a stage of high accomplishment.

Even so, if he had Lord God-level divinity, Merlin could even speed up the progress of the Illusory World, shortening the time it would take to become accomplished.

After weighing all this, Merlin asked in a low voice, "Didimoss, is there any purpose of you swallowing this divinity? Or is it mere gluttony?"

Merlin knew that the black cat Didimoss' natural ability did not mean that anything he devoured would bring him benefit. Sometimes, the black cat Didimoss would swallow some things simply because he wished to eat.

Didimoss saw that Merlin looked so solemn, and carefully eyed the ninety-eight strands of Lord God-level divinity. Following that, he spoke with a serious expression, "I just have a feeling that after swallowing all this divinity, I would be able to evolve… However, that's just a feeling."

"Evolve?"

Merlin's eyes gleamed. At the moment, the black cat Didimoss was infinitely close to an ultimate existence. Due to his unique natural ability, if there were enough things for him to devour constantly, he could even be comparable to an ultimate existence.

Nonetheless, at the black cat Didimoss' current stage, it was unlikely he would continue to break through. Once he did, the power of the Void Zone's natural order would force him into a dead end.

Only after being baptized and rising over this dead end, a mystical existence which had reversed the natural order like the black cat Didimoss could truly display their might, far exceeding any ordinary ultimate existence.

In truth, the Flare Emperor, who stood at the peak of millions of contenders in the Void Zone along with the Thirty-six Emperors, was a great example. Just like the black cat Didimoss, he was a lifeform which had reversed the natural order but ultimately became one of the powerful Thirty-six Emperors.

Of course, other than the Flare Emperor, other lifeforms which had reversed the natural order were largely unable to resist the dead end, vanishing in the Void Zone. Since the black cat Didimoss felt that this Lord God-level divinity would help him, he might be able to evolve.

However, at the same time, Didimoss would face the dead end!

"Didimoss, you'd better think carefully. If you evolve, you'd likely face the dead end."

Merlin said softly. He did not wish for the black cat Didimoss to face the dead end just like that. It was too risky.

The black cat Didimoss suddenly looked around at the Atlan Dimension, saying with a smile, "Can't this Atlan Dimension cut off the power of the natural order? If I'm facing a dead end, I'll keep hiding in the Atlan Dimension without going out. Then, the natural order won't get to me. I'll wait until I'm older when I feel like I can face the dead end calmly. Only then will I leave the Atlan Dimension and return to the Void Zone to face the dead end."

Didimoss' intelligence was not that different from ordinary people, so he might have already considered this ever since he entered the Atlan Dimension.

Merlin suddenly saw the light. Didimoss' plan was not bad indeed. The Atlan Dimension was created by the Vestigial Tribe in the past, able to cut off the Void Zone's natural order. It was a natural hiding place for the black cat Didimoss.

Even if the dead end had arrived, that was nothing. At worst, Didimoss could hide in the Atlan Dimension. Now that Merlin had the power of the Golden Ray Armor, he no longer needed the black cat Didimoss to help the Spell Caster civilization.

"Didimoss, since you want to swallow all this divinity, of course, I'll fulfill your wish. However, it's not now. Even if you wish to stay in the Atlan Dimension, you'll have to wait until I completely control the Atlan Dimension. This dimension isn't as simple as a mere hiding place for you."

Merlin had made the decision long ago. This gigantic dimension, even without a Dimension Core, must not be given up so easily. Just based on how ultimate existences could not detect the natural order after entering, this would be an important base for the Spell Caster civilization in the future.

Therefore, he must control the Atlan Dimension!

Merlin was not confident in controlling the Atlan Dimension before this because of the hopeship, countless warships, fortress cannons, and so on. Now that Merlin had used the Golden Ray Armor to absorb the Dimension Core, the Atlan Dimension had in truth, lost its splendor.

The Atlan civilization without its power source could not even compare to those foreign civilizations in the Void Zone overseen by a mere Honored Legend. Merlin did not even need to waste much effort to control a weak civilization like that. Without energy, the Atlans could only wait for their doom.

"Let's look at the void-level warship."

Of course, Merlin did not forget about the void-level warship. After keeping the ninety-eight strands of divinity in his Spatial Ring, he came to the void-level warship which was being manufactured in the hall.

At the moment, there was merely a shell of the void-level warship. The installations within were still far from complete. Still, there were volcano-like holes that somewhat shocked Merlin.

"These are the main cannons of the void-level warship?"

Earlier when Merlin was attacked by the void-level cannons, it had been these three main cannons of the void-level warship. Merlin could not understand these incomparably complicated cannons.

Soon, Merlin looked for the Atlans who were manufacturing the void-level warships in the hall, asking doubtfully, "Now you're creating three void-level warships. Were there any problems?"

"We ran out of energy and couldn't continue building."

"If there's enough energy?"

"If there's enough energy, there's no need to operate. An automatic program controls the manufacturing of the void-level warships, so you'd only need to wait patiently. In roughly a few years, it'll assemble three void-level warships."

"Three years…"

Merlin nodded. The void-level warship was a fearsome weapon, able to kill ultimate existences. It was not of much use to the present Merlin but would be very useful to the Spell Caster civilization.

Moreover, Merlin had promised to help the Avian Tribe and Roman to obtain the void-level warship. He must not break his promise.

"How many more void-level warships can be produced?"

"Only three. There aren't enough materials, most of which is transported from the Void Zone by the army. Only after a long time of accumulation, we had just about enough to manufacture three void-level warships."

Only then did Merlin learned that those warships that came in and out were transporting materials for creating the void-level warships. Merlin had even received news that the Atlan civilization had searched through the Rock Tribe's dimensions multiple times but their objective was unknown.

Merlin had suddenly realized that the Atlans were looking for materials for manufacturing the void-level warships. However, these materials were also rare in the Void Zone. Otherwise, with so many dimensions of the Rock Tribe, the materials would not be merely sufficient for three void-level warships.

Chapter 847: Control II

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"It looks like I'll have to keep this."

Merlin knew that he could not destroy the base for now. Nonetheless, he must control the people, at least until the void-level warships had been manufactured.

As for the energy, Merlin's Golden Ray Armor had devoured the Dimension Core. Naturally, he could give up a portion of it. As the Dimension Core was immense, even just a small portion was enough to maintain the operations of the entire base.

The only troublesome aspect was to control the Atlans in the base. Now, he could not leave them for the base would not operate as normal, and Merlin could not possibly stay in the Atlan Dimension the entire time.

"It looks like I can only control the entire base for now. After resolving the matter of the Atlan Dimension, I'll let the Mind avatar 1come here to replace me and control the people in the base."

Merlin was unwilling to let go of these people in the base. After all, those who were involved in manufacturing the void-level warships were surely Atlans who knew the most about their civilization. They were valuable. Moreover, Merlin still hoped to continue creating more void-level warships in the future.

"I'll leave behind a portion of my Mind Power first to control the base!"

Merlin had a flash of inspiration. Now that he had the Illusory World, he could divide a portion of his Mind Power to construct an individual illusory world. However, this would cause some loss to Merlin's Illusory World.

It was just that this additional illusory world would be far too small, and would not harm the core of the Illusory World.

"Illusory World, divide!"

Merlin swiftly divided the smaller illusory world which enveloped the entire base. Nonetheless, the Mind Power in this world could not be maintained for long, so Merlin had to leave the Atlan Dimension as soon as he could, letting the Mind avatar take over in overseeing the secret base.

"Didimoss, let's go."

Merlin immediately left the base with the black cat Didimoss, appearing once again in the hopeship. Now, it was time for Merlin to attempt controlling the entire Atlan civilization.

"Merlin, do you want me to gobble them up? These Atlans are puny indeed but their warships are rather impressive, though the flavor's nothing much…"

The black cat Didimoss smirked. In his eyes, the only categories were tasty and not tasty.

"Can you eat all of them?"

Merlin shook his head. Before this, he was uncertain that he could control the Atlan Dimension but now, after obtaining the Dimension Core, his assurance was much greater.

The entire Atlan Dimension was built by the Vestigial Tribe, so it was significantly different from the dimensions which had slowly formed in the Void Zone. The dimension created by the Vestigial Tribe, naturally, did not have an Elemental Origin and could not be controlled by Legendary Wizards. Even ultimate existences could not control it.

Nonetheless, this dimension was ultimately created by the Vestigial Tribe. Of course, the Vestigial Tribe had its way to control the dimension. When the Vestigial Tribe left it behind, it was meant for those who had the blood of the Vestigial Tribe.

Therefore, the Dimension Core was the key to controlling the Atlan Dimension! Whoever who could obtain the Dimension Core would then control the Atlan Dimension. According to the Vestigial Tribe's plan, only the Golden Ray Armor could devour such a colossal Dimension Core, and the Golden Ray Armor could only be controlled by those who had the blood of the Vestigial Tribe and the Brain of Life.

Cycle after cycle, only the Vestigial Tribe would finally obtain the Dimension Core and control the Atlan Dimension. No one else could control it. However, an anomaly like Merlin had appeared. Even the Vestigial Tribe would have no way to predict that there would be something as mystical as "the Matrix" that could absorb the program controlling the Golden Ray Armor that was left by the Vestigial Tribe. This indirectly allowed Merlin to control the Golden Ray Armor and devour the Dimension Core, thus obtaining the controlling rights to the Atlan Dimension.

Now, Merlin was faced with two options. How should he control the Atlan Dimension?

If he suppressed the Atlan civilization by force, then slowly moved Spell Casters into the Atlan Dimension, based on the haughty attitudes of the Atlans, it would be difficult for them to live in harmony. Who knew how many disputes would erupt?

Therefore, assimilation would not work at all. In that case, there was only one other recourse, which was to purge the entire Atlan Dimension, leaving only the Altans in the base who were forever controlled. This would return the Atlan Dimension to an uncivilized era with no intelligent life.

Before the Atlan civilization, a few intelligent civilizations had been born but they subsequently vanished due to various reasons.

"Wiping out the Atlan civilization… This is a civilization war. There's no wrong or right!"

Merlin shut his eyes lightly. As someone who could be labeled as a contender in the Void Zone, the Legend Glory of the Spell Caster civilization, Merlin had witnessed the rise and fall of weak civilizations. Back during the war against the Rock Tribe, a contender's attack could destroy a dimension, causing the puny civilizations in the dimension to vanish completely.

Nevertheless, this would be Merlin's first time destroying a civilization by himself!

"Destroy then…"

Merlin spoke softly. Through the Dimension Core, he had already controlled the Atlan Dimension. he could mobilize various forces in this dimension.

At once, countless Spatial Windstorms began to wreak havoc while various natural disasters assaulted the starships. If the Atlan civilization still had a power source, they could even withstand some of the Atlan Dimension's forces.

However, the Atlan civilization which had lost its power source was incomparably fragile. Even the mightiest warship could not be activated. This was a civilization built upon energy. Fortress cannons, armed spaceships, and other various weapons all could not be used.

"Boom boom boom."

Thus, Spatial Windstorms swept over and starships exploded one by one. Countless Atlans were wailing in tears. Perhaps many of them were innocent, not knowing anything about the war between the Atlan civilization and the Void Zone's Spell Caster civilization.

Nevertheless, this was a civilization war. Once defeated, one must bear the consequences.

One starship after another was easily annihilated, making Merlin feel omnipotent. He thought about the Illusory World, which was also under his control. With a single thought, he could easily destroy the Illusory World.

"If the Void Zone was also controlled by someone, then aren't we pitiful with our fates always in someone else's hands?"

Merlin raised his head and looked at the sky, his gaze going beyond the Atlan Dimension toward the Void Zone. That vast and boundless, incomparably endless Void Zone, was it controlled by someone?

"A frightening being like Aruba who could freely travel between the Latitude Cosmos – even he didn't mention a controller. Most likely, the Void Zone has no controller. If I can materialize the Illusory World, then I'll become a controller of a Latitude Cosmo!"

All along, Merlin did not have much of an ambitious goal, constantly growing stronger, actively or passively. However, as he controlled the Atlan Dimension now and destroyed the Atlan civilization that had prospered once, his heart was finally gripped by longing.

It was the first time he had such an urgent desire, such a definite objective – to materialize the Illusory World as reality and become ruler of a Latitude Cosmo comparable to the Void Zone!

Perhaps only at that point, Merlin would not be treated by others as he treated the Atlans, controlling their fates.

The entire Atlan Dimension was now experiencing an apocalypse. The Atlan civilization that once prospered was drowning in calamities. One by one, the starships were annihilated by the Spatial Windstorms. In a few days, more than half of the Atlan civilization was destroyed.

If this continued, then in a few days, the Atlan civilization would be thoroughly destroyed. The splendid, brilliant civilization that they had established would become like the previous intelligent civilizations in the Atlan Dimension, reduced to history's dust.

The black cat Didimoss stared with wide eyes. Naturally, he could feel the changes in the Atlan Dimension. This misfortune of a civilization being destroyed and worlds cast into chaos was truly shocking.

From his perspective, even the warships and fortress cannons that had been a threat were now mere decoration, crushed into smithereens by the Spatial Windstorms. A civilization had collapsed in an instant just like that.

"Merlin, you've destroyed the Atlan civilization?"

The black cat Didimoss suddenly asked softly. He sensed something odd about Merlin.

"I've controlled the Dimension Core, so of course I control the Atlan Dimension. With the Atlan civilization around, the Atlan Dimension wouldn't be peaceful, so I might as well destroy them. The Atlan Dimension would be useful in the future, so I must control it. If you face the dead end one day, you can stay in the Atlan Dimension."

The black cat Didimoss nodded. He was just somewhat taken aback that Merlin could destroy a civilization in an instant. Not even ultimate existences could do something like this for they had no way of destroying the Atlan Dimension.

Nevertheless, since Merlin was controlling the Atlan Dimension, it was different. It was a piece of cake for the controller of a dimension to destroy a civilization in the dimension. All that was needed was a thought.

The Spatial Windstorms caused incessant devastation. In the end, other than the hopeship, other places of the Atlan civilization were in ruins. Perhaps some escaped this calamity by a fluke but after the Spell Casters had moved into the Atlan Dimension on a wide scale, these Atlans who had escaped would be of no threat.

"Didimoss, devour those on the hopeship. Eat anything you want to, except for the secret base."

Merlin pointed at the hopeship behind him. There were still people from the army and ordinary Atlans inside. Merlin had not forgotten them. He only wished to preserve the secret base that manufactured the void-level warships. Other Atlans were unnecessary. Keeping them would only be trouble.

"Haha, Merlin, I can finally have a feast."

The black cat Didimoss gave a deafening snarl as his body swelled up, turning into a fearsome monster that opened his mouth, starting to devour frantically in the hopeship…

Chapter 848: Evolving

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The black cat Didimoss' body swelled up and he turned gigantic. Still, he was lacking by far when compared to the Slothful Beast. He displayed his innate talent, and just like a bottomless pit, devoured cleanly the hopeship's fortress cannons, warships, and so on.

The Atlan civilization was destroyed just like that. Of course, there were the final battalions of the Atlan civilization left in the Void Zone. They had lost the Atlan Dimension. Even if someone managed to escape, they would merely be a nomadic civilization.

"Huff huff."

The black cat Didimoss seemed extremely satisfied, having swallowed so much. It was enough to replenish the damage he had sustained from his battle with the dimension-level warships.

"Didimoss, I've now controlled the Atlan Dimension completely. There's no need for any apprehension. You can devour the divinity."

Merlin examined everything briefly. The Atlan civilization was wiped out, which would be lamented by many. Merlin did not expect he would profit in this manner during this visit to the Atlan Dimension. He did not even have to rely much on the Slothful Beast's strength.

Since he had controlled the Atlan Dimension, what followed next depended on the black cat Didimoss.

Didimoss contemplated for a moment. This matter was entirely up to him.

After a long moment, the black cat Didimoss nodded slowly. "I've decided. I was lucky enough to reverse the natural order and become a living being, so I'm destined to endure the dead end. However, today, we have the Atlan Dimension, allowing me more time to prepare. This is already something unimaginable for other beings who had reversed the natural order."

Didimoss was clear that with Merlin controlling the Atlan Dimension, even if he had evolved and had to bear the dead end, he could hide in the Atlan Dimension as he had sufficient time to prepare. Compared to those roaming lifeforms which had reversed the natural order, he was extremely fortunate.

"Merlin, I'm ready. Haha, now I'm not the least bit worried."

The black cat Didimoss laughed out loud. He had thought it through. If he could not summon the courage to face the dead end, he would rather not go out and stay forever in the Atlan Dimension.

When he looked at Didimoss'"carefree" manner, Merlin broke out into a smile. Following that, he grabbed a bunch of Lord God-level divinity from his Spatial Ring. There were about twenty strands of divinity.

Once this divinity appeared, they were filled with endless godly might. How could Lord God-level divinity be ordinary? The entire dark night sky seemed to be illuminated by this divinity.

"Swish."

Merlin swiftly flung the strands of divinity to the black cat Didimoss. Didimoss had revealed his true form already, stretching wide his mouth to swallow the divinity in one gulp.

Instantly, the black cat Didimoss' body started to swell noticeably, and each time he swelled, be became incomparably massive. Now that he had just swallowed a few strands, the black cat Didimoss' body had grown twice as large.

Most creatures, like the Slothful Beast, had strength that was proportional to their bodies. Previously, the black cat Didimoss was considered enormous. Otherwise, he could not possibly devour countless warships and fortress cannons.

Nonetheless, he paled in comparison to the Slothful Beast, and could not even match up at all.

However, currently, the black cat Didimoss was enlarging ceaselessly. One time bigger, two times, three times… He showed no signs of stopping, and his body's presence became increasingly majestic, causing even Merlin to feel a faint suppression.

Currently, only ultimate existences were able to make Merlin feel pressured. After all, Merlin's Illusory World was not yet accomplished, and in terms of Maxims, he was merely a Lord. He was a long way from ultimate existences.

The disparity between different levels did not mean that one's strength was lacking. Thanks to good fortune, Merlin had used the Matrix to control the Golden Ray Armor. When he wore the armor, although he could only unleash a portion of its power, it was enough to overwhelm any formidable existences below the Thirty-six Emperors.

Currently, the black cat Didimoss' force kept growing. This divinity was effective for Didimoss indeed. Who knew if this could help the black cat Didimoss "evolve"?

Merlin had never seen lifeforms who had reversed the natural order "evolve" before, so he was highly curious. Even so, he was even more focused on seeing if the Atlan Dimension was able to cut off the natural order while the black cat Didimoss was faced with the dead end.

Soon, twenty strands of divinity were all devoured by Didimoss. Based on his appearance, he was still evolving. Divinity must not be lacking.

Merlin clenched his teeth and tossed out thirty strands of divinity. The current black cat Didimoss appeared unusually feral. Upon seeing the thirty strands, he swallowed everything in one gulp.

Nonetheless, perhaps thirty strands of divinity were too great an amount. The black cat Didimoss let out strange snarls while his body expanded once again, almost bigger than the hopeship, right behind the Slothful Beast.

Merlin knew that this was the key moment when the black cat Didimoss was about to evolve.

"Boom."

The black cat Didimoss' body flashed with white light, following which his entire body trembled violently, emitting waves of extremely overbearing force that was not inferior to any ultimate existence.

"The evolution was a success?"

As Merlin stared at the black cat Didimoss' transformation, his heart leaped in delight. The black cat Didimoss had been by his side the longest. Naturally, Merlin hoped that nothing would happen to Didimoss. This evolution went so smoothly, so Merlin was overjoyed.

"Haha, I've evolved, truly evolved… Merlin, I feel that at this point I've already become very, very powerful. However, as I can't detect the natural order in the Atlan Dimension, perhaps I'm already at the dead end."

Didimoss opened his eyes, and his deafening voice reverberated throughout the air. The current Didimoss was a gigantic creature of unparalleled size, reaching a third of the Slothful Beast's size.

This was rather colossal. The Slothful Beast was such a terrifying creature, a fearsome monster able to swallow many dimensions at will. The black cat Didimoss' body measured up to a third of the Slothful Beast's size, which was practically inconceivable.

In the vast Void Zone, Merlin had never heard of any creature that could compare to the Slothful Beast, not even one that had reached a third of the Slothful Beast's ginormous mass.

"Didimoss, you've succeeded in evolving?"

Merlin stared unwaveringly at the black cat Didimoss. Although the black cat Didimoss' force was much stronger indeed, Merlin seemed to detect a more potent force within Didimoss' body, inducing an extreme sense of threat.

Therefore, he dared not claim that the black cat Didimoss had completed his evolution. If that was the case, that formidable force would be released without restraint but the black cat Didimoss was notably unable to exude such a frightening force.

As expected, Didimoss shook his head. "The evolution has taken place but I'm still a long way from completing the process. Only after I survived the dead end will my evolution be complete."

Merlin became pensive. Dead end – this was something unavoidable to beings who had reversed the natural order. Only after getting through the baptism of the dead end, could they completely unleash that fearsome strength, reaching a true pinnacle.

Just like the Flare Emperor back then, who became one of the Thirty-six Emperors who stood at the peak of the boundless Void Zone!

In the past, Merlin was not convinced that if Didimoss had reversed the natural order and defied the dead end, he could become an existence like the Thirty-six Emperors. That was too massive a leap.

It should be known that even though Merlin had the Golden Ray Armor, he was not the true Vestigial Tribe and did not have the Brian of Life, merely using the program to control it. Therefore, he could only unleash a portion of the armor's power, unable to compare to noble existences like the Thirty-six Emperors.

Nevertheless, if the black cat Didimoss could defy the dead end and be baptized by the power of the natural order, he could reach heaven in a bound, becoming a formidable existence on par with the Thirty-six Emperors.

"Dead end?"

Merlin lightly shut his eyes but his consciousness had traveled through the Atlan Dimension he was controlling, extending toward the Void Zone.

Currently, the Void Zone was relatively calm. Whether it was the God Alliance or the Spell Caster civilization, there was no unusually obvious activity.

The Marshall of the Atlan civilization seemed to be waiting for the Atlan Dimension to produce the void-level warship as soon as possible. However, at this moment, a shocking burst of the natural order's power had gathered outside the Atlan Dimension, causing those ultimate existences to tremble with fear.

"What's going on? Why would such terrifying power of the natural order condense outside the Atlan Dimension?"

The Lord Gods of the God Alliance turned their gazes toward the mysterious Marshall of the Atlan civilization. Nonetheless, the Marshall shook his head, of course. Lately, his communication with the Atlan Dimension had dwindled. Messages that entered the Atlan Dimension did not get any responses.

"Has something unexpected happened in the Atlan Dimension?"

Even the enigmatic Marshall was rather uncertain.

Other than the Lord Gods, the numerous ultimate existences of the Spell Caster civilization were worried. They knew that Merlin had secretly infiltrated the Atlan Dimension.

Now that massive amounts of natural order had gathered outside the Atlan Dimension, this caused them endless dread. Was this linked to Merlin's visit to the Atlan Dimension?

However, with so much power of the natural order, could Merlin have become an ultimate existence? Becoming an ultimate existence would not stir up such an enormous disturbance. Moreover, one could not sense the natural order in the Atlan Dimension. How could one become an ultimate existence?

"Watch the Atlan Dimension closely!"

Augustus knew that this was likely linked to Merlin, only he did not know whether it was good or bad news. Therefore, they could only closely observe the Atlan Dimension's activity.

Compared to the guesses of the various parties in the Void Zone, when Merlin noticed the constant power of the natural order gathering outside the Void Zone, he knew that this was Didimoss' dead end, which had arrived indeed.

It was just that the Atlan Dimension had served its purpose, causing that terrifying natural order to have no way of entering the Atlan Dimension. The black cat Didimoss was safe for now. As long as he was willing, he could even stay forever in the Atlan Dimension.

Chapter 849: Back to the Void Zone I

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Didimoss, you're facing your dead end indeed. Even so, the Atlan Dimension managed to cut off the power of the natural order, so you must never leave the Atlan Dimension on your own. Otherwise, once you enter the Void Zone, you'll be faced with that fearsome dead end."

Merlin wore a complicated expression. A being which had reversed the natural order like Didimoss had unimaginable potential. However, for his potential to be unleashed fully, he needed to face the dead end, and be baptized by it. Nonetheless, the mortality rate was unthinkable. Other than the Flare Emperor, they had never heard of any lifeform which had reversed the natural order which could withstand this dead end.

"There's really a dead end… Be rest assured, Merlin. I won't leave the Atlan Dimension without permission. Without having the assurance, I won't enter the Void Zone."

As the black cat Didimoss' evolution had induced a significant transformation, even if he had not been baptized by the dead end, even without the power of the natural order, his current strength was enough to match an ultimate existence's. If he stayed in the Atlan Dimension, he would be an incomparably powerful being.

This was highly beneficial to Merlin's plans for the future.

"There's still forty-eight strands of Lord God-level divinity."

Merlin looked in the Spatial Ring. There were no fewer than forty-eight strands of divinity left. The black cat Didimoss had only devoured fifty of those.

Merlin ruminated over this, having made up his mind. Right now, his only hope was to accelerate the progress of the Illusory World. Only Lord God-level divinity would have this capability.

"I'll strive to become accomplished with the Illusory World soon."

Merlin also wished to know – after becoming accomplished with the Illusory World, would he be on par with ultimate existences? Or would he far surpass most ultimate existences? Regardless of whether it was Merlin or Titus, they had no way to predict.

Therefore, Merlin let Didimoss keep watch at one side and took out the remaining forty-eight strands of divinity.

"Ignite."

The divinity suddenly burned up furiously, turning into surges of frightening energy that burrowed directly into Merlin's Illusory World.

At this point, Merlin had controlled the energy transformed from the forty-eight strands of divinity, using them on the vast endless Illusory World. The entire Illusory World immediately started to spin and explode fiercely.

"Rumble."

In an enormous explosion, infinite space was annihilated, countless celestial bodies and fields of stars destroyed. However, at the same time, only Merlin knew that the Illusory World was currently expanding wildly at a speed comparable to when he had used Mind Power to urge expansion.

One time bigger, two times, three times…

Merlin's Illusory World was colossal in the first place, equivalent to tens of thousands of dimensions of the Void Zone. Of course, this was still a negligible number to the Void Zone.

However, with forty-eight strands of Lord God-level divinity burning now, some of which belonged to powerful gods second only to the Thirty-six Emperors, the power that exploded was inconceivable.

Therefore, just as the forty-eight strands of divinity were about to vanish, Merlin's Illusory World practically enlarged by over a hundred times, which Merlin could not have imagined before this. Peculiar planets and other celestial phenomena which he had never predicted now appeared.

"Create, I merely had to create a basic structure, then this structure will slowly develop and be enriched, finally even surpassing the creator's imagination."

As Merlin looked at the changes of the Illusory World, he was filled with joy. This was a true world. If the Glorious Land was seen as a world as well, then the Spell Models Aruba had designed just for Spell Casters were only beginner-level at the start. In the end, was it not that countless Spell Casters refined and created innumerable Spell Models?

This was a complete world that could slowly develop. Initially, the Illusory World could grow on its own, finally becoming a complete world, a vast universe that could rival the Void Zone. Nonetheless, this would take a very long time, and Merlin had used the Lord God-level divinity to accelerate this progress.

Compared to the Void Zone, the current Illusory World was rather insignificant.

"Phew…"

Merlin opened his eyes and heaved a long sigh. He felt his Mind Power had grown more immense, only this was no longer useful to him. He knew that if the Illusory World could not attain a stage of perfection, he would never be a threat to ultimate existences.

This was Merlin's bottleneck. He required an extensive period for his capability could not possibly improve significantly overnight.

Luckily, Merlin had the Slothful Beast as well as the Golden Ray Armor. In the long period where the Illusory World was gradually perfected, Merlin would be safe. Moreover, he had controlled the Atlan Dimension, so he was even more secured. This was Merlin's safest base. He could enter and exit anytime, unafraid of any ultimate existence.

"Didimoss, I should leave the Atlan Dimension and end the war against the God Alliance."

Of course, Merlin had not forgotten that the war between the God Alliance and the Spell Casters had not ended. Perhaps the eight Lord Gods of the God Alliance appeared very powerful as if a massive rock had weighed heavily upon the hearts of countless foreign civilizations surrounding them.

Nevertheless, when Merlin entered the Atlan Dimension, he received so much information regarding the Vestigial Tribe. Thus, he knew that merely eight Lord Gods were nothing much. Back when the Vestigial Tribe swept over the Void Zone, even eighty, eight hundred ultimate existences were destined to be slaughtered, to say nothing of eight ultimate existences.

One could say that the powers below the Thirty-six Emperors, all the civilizations of the Void Zone, were no match for the Vestigial Tribe. It was the Thirty-six Emperors who made every effort to avert the desperate crisis, saving the foreign civilizations of the entire Void Zone.

Merlin now possessed the ultimate power of the Vestigial Tribe – the Golden Ray Armor! Although Merlin could only unleash a portion of its might, he did not need to fear most ultimate existences.

"Merlin, please be rest assured. I'll help you watch over the Atlan Dimension. Humph, whoever dares to enter the Atlan Dimension, I'll gobble up all of them."

The black cat Didimoss spoke with a fierce expression. Although he had already "evolved", he was still gluttonous, and his natural ability was even stronger.

Merlin nodded and cast a glance at the desolate Atlan Dimension. His figure flashed and he headed toward the Void Zone.In the spacious Void Zone, powerful contenders had now converged outside the Atlan Dimension. The eight Lord Gods had appeared, and some warships of the Atlan civilization were even at a distance.

On the other side, there were Roman, Augustus, and the Avian Monarch. The other ultimate existences were guarding the Spell Caster civilization in case of emergencies.

At the moment, the two adversarial parties did not erupt in conflict. Instead, they stared steadily at that frightening mass of the natural order's power in the Void Zone.

This power of the natural order made these ultimate existences who had controlled part of the natural order's power to tremble in fear. It was as if this surge of natural order could easily slay them.

Therefore, under a common threat, the gods and the ultimate existences were not in conflict for once.

"What's happening in the Atlan Dimension?"

Everyone was guessing but no one dared to enter the Atlan Dimension.

"Humph, Augustus, Roman, and the Avian Monarch. There are only three of them this time, and we have eight Lord Gods. It's our chance to corner and kill them, what a rare opportunity!"

Only the Lord God of Light was not too concerned with the changes occurring outside the Atlan Dimension. Instead, he was scrutinizing Augustus and the rest, sensing that there were no other ultimate existences from the Spell Caster civilization. Therefore, the eight Lord Gods now occupied an absolute advantage in terms of number. This chance was difficult to come by.

"Everyone, this is our chance!"

The Lord God of Light secretly conveyed to the Lord Gods of the other god organizations. Instantly, these Lord Gods recovered from their astonishment, and one by one directed their gazes at Augustus and the rest.

"Oh no, they're going to attack. We'd better leave."

Augustus' expression shifted slightly. He, the Avian Monarch, and Roman – all three of them had sensed the changes happening outside the Atlan Dimension, so they hurried over, leaving the Mother Tree and the rest with the Spell Caster civilization. They did not expect to encounter the eight Lord Gods, which was rather unfavorable to them.

"Don't worry. Both of you come on board my stealth flying ship quickly. They can't catch up to us."

When Roman noticed the stares of the eight Lord Gods, he was not afraid at all, immediately taking out the stealth flying ship, allowing Augustus and the Avian Monarch to enter.

With the stealth flying ship, the eight Lord Gods had no way of catching up to Roman's group.

"D*mn it, it's the stealth flying ship again!"

When the eight Lord Gods saw that familiar flying ship, every one of their faces turned ashen. They had suffered before thanks to the stealth flying ship which was so elusive. Moreover, its speed was incredible. None of them could match that speed.

Furthermore, its concealing force allowed it to approach someone if they were not paying attention, making it difficult to guard against. This was a headache for the eight Lord Gods. Therefore, when they saw Augustus and the Avian Monarch entering the stealth flying ship, the eight Lord Gods knew that they had lost their chance to trap Augustus and the rest.

"Humph, just wait until the Atlan civilization's void-level warship is manufactured once more. That's when the Spell Caster civilization will be destroyed."

The eight Lord Gods could only bear with this for now, until the Atlan civilization produced the void-level warship once again. Moreover, the mysterious Marshall had divulged that it would not be just one void-level warship but two or even three.

Two or three void-level warships were certainly a subversive force. In addition to the eight Lord Gods and the two Rock Progenitors, the Spell Caster civilization's current forces would have no way to resist.

"That's right, go and ask that mysterious Marshall, how soon is the manufacturing of the void-level warships?"

The eight Lord Gods had waited for so long, yet they never knew whether the void-level warships had been manufactured.

At the moment, a gigantic warship had appeared not too far away, slowly approaching the Atlan Dimension. From the warship out flew a person in gray armor.

It was the Atlan civilization's enigmatic Marshall and his guards.

"Lord Gods, I'll send this warship back to the Atlan Dimension to check upon the void-level warships' progress."

The mysterious Marshall was impatient and restless. Others did not know, only he knew that he had lost contact with the Atlan Dimension for a while now. Many warships he sent had not returned, casting a shadow over his heart.

Thus, he decided once more to send two dimension-level warships back to the Atlan Dimension, to see what happened.

However, as soon as his two dimension-level warships went into the entrance of the Atlan Dimension, a ball of flames exploded.

"Boom."

A tremendous rumble accompanied the flames that soared to the sky. A formidable shockwave rolled out in all directions, and the two dimension-level warships which had just entered the Atlan Dimension, were annihilated.

"What's going on?"

The eight Lord Gods and the mysterious Marshall instantly shot a look at the entrance of the Atlan Dimension. In the distant Void Zone, the stealth flying ship had even stopped, partly hidden but unwilling to leave, evidently drawn to what had just happened.

Chapter 850: Back to the Void Zone II

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Boom".

There was another loud bang. Then, at the entrance of the Atlan Dimension, amidst a column of blazing flames, a slender black-robed silhouette gradually appeared before everyone.

In addition, that silhouette walked towards the Void Zone with complete disregard.

"Merlin? Why would he emerge from the Atlan Dimension?"

The expressions of the Lord God of Light and the mysterious Marshal shifted dramatically. They were too familiar with Merlin. Even the other Lord Gods were not entirely unfamiliar with Merlin.

A Wizard who possessed a Slothful Beast and was able to control minds. Despite not being an ultimate existence, he posed a much greater threat than the ordinary ultimate existence. Therefore, Merlin was no longer a nobody, but a strong contender within the Void Zone.

"Does that mean, something happened inside the Atlan Dimension?"

The mysterious Marshal thought about the Slothful Beast controlled by Merlin and immediately felt a pang of anxiety in his heart. The Slothful Beast did not need the power of natural order and was as tough as nails. If it were to wreak havoc in the Atlan Dimension, who could stop it?

The fact that they lost communication with the Atlan Dimension was most probably Merlin's doing.

Meanwhile, the Eight Great Lord Gods were unaware of the mysterious Marshal's unease. On the other hand, they saw it as a golden opportunity.

"It's just Merlin alone. Kill! If we can kill Merlin, that would be equivalent to getting rid of the Slothful Beast. Then, it would simply be a matter of time before the Spell Caster civilization is defeated."

The Eight Great Lord Gods were well-aware of the challenging nature of Merlin's Slothful Beast. As long as the Slothful Beast was around, it would be extremely difficult to defeat the Spell Caster civilization. Moreover, even the Eight Great Lord Gods did not have the ability to kill the Slothful Beast, so their only hope was to deal with its owner.

However, previously, the Spell Caster civilization had been well-prepared and kept many of the Lord Gods occupied so that the Eight Great Lord Gods of the God Alliance could not focus on attacking Merlin.

At the same time, Merlin was alone. This was their chance!

"Haha, once we kill Merlin, perhaps we can even obtain the method of taming the Slothful Beast."

The Eight Great Lord Gods approached Merlin swiftly. With the speed of the Eight Great Lord Gods, this was equivalent to a blink of an eye. They had already closed in on Merlin by the time Roman, Augustus and the others inside the stealth flying ship noticed something amiss. It was too late.

"Haha, he hasn't even unleashed the Slothful Beast."

When the Lord God of Light saw that Merlin was frozen in place and did not release the Slothful Best, he was overjoyed. The holy light on his body was blasted toward Merlin at full force.

Without the Slothful Beast, how could mere Lord like Merlin measure up to the Eight Great Lord Gods?

Hence, the extensive holy light transformed into a large web that covered the Atlan Dimension's entrance almost entirely. Even if Merlin were to summon the Slothful Beast now, it would be too late.

"Haha, Merlin would die for sure today. Without the threat of the Slothful Beast, we will be able to exterminate the Spell Caster civilization with ease!"

The Eight Great Lord Gods were triumphant, they did not expect that the accidental developments outside the Atlan Dimension would end up with such a favorable outcome, which was encountering a lone Merlin.

"Too late, we won't get there in time."

Inside the stealth flying ship, Roman shook his head in despair. Although his stealth flying ship was very fast, they were very far away as they were previously escaping from the Eight Great Lord Gods. Now, this safe distance seemed to become an unbridgeable gap which prevented them from rescuing Merlin in time.

"Zap zap zap".

Multiple rays of holy light drowned Merlin's figure. The Eight Great Lord Gods were comparable to eight ultimate existences, how frightening was such an attack? The main reason that the God Alliance was able to strike fear in the hearts of countless foreign tribes in their surroundings was due to these Eight Great Lord Gods.

Now that the Eight Great Lord Gods were jointly attacking one person, much less Merlin, but even an ultimate existence who had integrated with natural order would not survive. There could be no lucky survivors faced with the simultaneous attacks from the Eight Great Lord Gods.

Suddenly, a very calm and composed aura of Merlin flared outwards. Then, like a massive gale, a golden ray pierced through the blanket of bedazzling holy light cast by the Eight Great Lord Gods.

"What is that?"

"Such a terrifying aura, even we are feeling goosebumps. The Slothful Beast could not possibly possess such a terrifying might…"

The Eight Great Lord Gods were closest to Merlin, hence they felt it most succinctly. Amidst the holy light they cast, there was an explosion of power that caused them to shudder.

"Lord God of Light, we meet again!"

Merlin's ice-cold voice resounded. Following that, a golden figure slowly emerged from behind the holy light.

At this time, Merlin had activated the power of the Golden Ray Armor. The brilliant golden gleam exuded an incredible power. The golden armor seemed to exert an invisible aura of suppression upon the Eight Great Lord Gods.

"Not dead?"

The Lord God of Light's face was shaken. Earlier, the joint attack by the Eight Great Lord Gods could not be said to be weak by any sense, yet Merlin was wholly unharmed. It was extremely peculiar.

"Dead?"

Merlin's lips quirked into a smile. To be honest, the attack from the Eight Great Lord Gods did make him a little nervous. After all, the Eight Great Lord Gods were the strongest force in their vicinity. Anyone under the siege of the Eight Great Lord Gods, regardless of ultimate existence, would be in danger.

However, the Golden Ray Armor gave Merlin a major confidence boost. Back then, the Golden Ray Armor was comparable to the Thirty-six Emperors. This was the ultimate product of the Vestigial Tribe's knowledge. In the past, this Golden Ray Armor was invincible throughout the entire Void Zone.

Therefore, Merlin faced the attack from the Eight Great Lord Gods head-on. The frightening holy light contained a plethora of natural order's great powers, but upon impact with Merlin's body, it did not cause him any harm.

The endurance of the Golden Ray Armor strengthened Merlin's confidence!

Seeing Merlin approaching step by step, the Lord God of Light revealed a look of terror on his face. He yelled again, "I don't know what tactic Merlin used to deflect our attack, but I'm sure he won't be able to hold on for a long time."

The Lord God of Light was about to attack once again but Merlin did not give him the opportunity.

Merlin gently raised his hand and pointed. "Gravitational field!"

"Boom".

An immense power that almost caused the Lord God of Light to suffocate enveloped him in an instant. This gravitational field was disintegrating and twisting the holy light on his body, even the power of natural order could not resist it. Compared to Roman's gravitational field, this was a whole new creature.

The Golden Ray Armor was an existence comparable to the Thirty-six Emperors, so its skills were a cut above the ultimate existences. Only the Thirty-six Emperors could possibly resist it.

"How could you become so powerful? What did you obtain from the Atlan Dimension?"

The Lord God of Light had to exhaust a great amount of energy to spit out these few words. Nevertheless, the holy light on his body continued to weaken and disintegrate. The powerful gravitational force of this gravitational field would soon crush him into pieces.

"Stop."

"Lord God of Light!"

The remaining Lord Gods finally regained their senses and wielded their assistance, but Merlin stretched out a hand and the invisible gravitational field exploded with a bang.

"Boom".

The invisible gravitational field actually managed to suppress all Eight Great Lord Gods concurrently. The Eight Great Lord Gods felt hard to move even a single inch. All of them had to use all their strength to resist the pervading gravitational force.

"How can this be possible? We are the Eight Great Lord Gods!"

"The joint forces of the Eight Great Lord Gods can vanquish even an ultimate existence. How can a single individual suppress us?"

The Eight Great Lord Gods were astonished. Not just them, but even Roman, Augustus, the Avian Monarch and the rest inside the stealth flying ship were astonished looking at the shiny golden figure standing in the Void Zone. Despite the considerable distance between them, all of them could sense a terrifying pressure.

Merlin must have obtained an invaluable treasure inside the Atlan Dimension!

"Swoosh".

Merlin turned abruptly and casted his gaze towards a warship in a distance.

This warship was slightly different than the other dimension-level warships. It was much bigger and sturdier than the others. This was the commanding ship among the Atlan civilization's warship fleet. The mysterious Marshal was inside the commanding ship.

"Marshal, the Eight Great Lord Gods might not know what I'm wearing, but you should know, right?"

With a large grasp from Merlin's hand, an incredible suction power sucked the warship all the way in front of Merlin. Additionally, Merlin's golden eyes seemed able to see through the warship to look directly at the mysterious Marshal.

The mysterious Marshal's eyes widened. The usually composed Marshal actually began to tremble at this moment.

"Open fire, open fire."

The guards inside the warship carried out the orders frantically. Immediately, the warship fired multiple rays of light. Merlin was so close to them that they did not have to aim. Any random blast would definitely land on Merlin.

However, this immensely powerful dimension-level warship was completely unable to inflict any damage on Merlin's Golden Ray Armor.

"Impossible, it's impossible, we've researched for such a long time, no one has been able to control it…"

The mysterious Marshal was a candidate jointly nominated by the Army as well as the Senate, so he had strong connections with the Army and the Senate. Due to that, he was immediately able to recognize that Merlin was wearing the Atlan civilization's greatest secret, an ultimate war weapon that even they did not manage to decipher after countless years.

"Nothing is impossible. Just because you can't control it, doesn't mean that I can't control it. An ultimate war weapon, or to be accurate, the Golden Ray Armor! The Vestigial Tribe's greatest power…"

Merlin's voice reverberated across the Void Zone. Although time and space did not exist, everyone could hear Merlin's voice. This was the power of a different level altogether, a power that struck fear in the hearts of the ultimate existences.

"You actually obtained the ultimate war weapon, that is our Atlan civilization's…"

The mysterious Marshal could not bear to imagine it any further. He knew very well how well hidden the ultimate war weapon was. It was inside the crystal wall that was most prized by the Senate and the Army. If was not possible to obtain the ultimate war weapon, unless the hopeship was destroyed.

"The Void Zone will no longer have the Atlan civilization!"

Merlin's golden eyes flashed mercilessly. With that, he gently curled his hand into a fist.

"Bang".

The powerful dimension-level warship exploded instantly, turning into blazing flames amidst the Void Zone…

Chapter 851: Dominion

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"This is bad, leave!"

The Eight Great Lord Gods finally sensed Merlin's threat. With a wave of his hand, Merlin was able to trap all eight of them. Even the mysterious Marshal's warship was destroyed with ease.

However, even more chilling was the words Merlin uttered to the Marshal. The entire Atlan civilization had disappeared.

Following a strong struggle from the Eight Great Lord Gods, Merlin's gravitational field seemed to loosen slightly. After all, these were the Eight Great Lord Gods who were comparable to eight ultimate existences.

Merlin's entire body glistened with a golden ray that permeated the Void Zone around them, causing the Eight Great Lord Gods to feel uneasy.

"Lord God of Light, you won't be able to escape."

Merlin's gaze locked upon the Lord God of Light, then he pointed a figure.

"Bang".

The gravitational field increased several folds. The Lord God of Light's body exploded in the Void Zone, however, there was no blood. Regardless, this scene was still extremely chilling to watch.

This was an ultimate existence! Not only was Merlin able to bind the Eight Great Lord Gods concurrently, but he also vanquished a Lord God.

"Merlin, you can't kill me. As long as divinity isn't extinguished, a god cannot die!"

Suddenly, the Lord God of Light's voice boomed. A sky filled with holy light coalesced into the Lord God of Light once again. Merlin's earlier hit had indeed destroyed the Lord God of Light's body, in fact, it was a grievous injury.

However, it did not hurt his essence. The essence of the gods was their divinity, so as long as their divinity was not extinguished, they would never die. Even if their bodies were smashed into smithereens, the gods could consolidate a new body by using their holy light.

"Divinity?"

A smile appeared between Merlin's lips. With the Golden Ray Armor, no one could stand against him, what more a measly divinity?

"Swish swish swish".

Although the Lord God of Light did not die, the Eight Great Lord Gods already learned of Merlin's formidableness. Therefore, they sprinted in different directions to escape. Due to the gravitational field, their speed was exceptionally slow, but with their combined powers, they were able to displace Merlin's gravitational field slightly.

After all, in order for Merlin to bind the Eight Great Lord Gods concurrently, the power of the gravitational field had to be spread out.

Merlin took a single glance at the Eight Great Lord Gods, and then his figure flashed away.

"Whoosh".

Merlin's figure vanished completely, not leaving even a trace of an aura behind. At the same time, the gravitational field around the Eight Great Lord Gods disappeared.

"What happened?"

The Eight Great Lord Gods were stunned, they did not know what was happening. Merlin simply vanished without a trace. However, the Void Zone did not contain any space.

"Did he conceal himself?"

No sooner than the Lord God of Frost spoke, everyone saw that behind the Lord God of Light, loomed a figure. Subsequently, the golden rays turned dazzling in an instant.

"What? Concealment, real concealment?"

At this moment, besides the Eight Great Lord Gods, Roman and the others inside the stealthy flying ship in a distance were equally shaken. Especially Roman. His stealth flying ship excelled in concealment, but could not accomplish what Merlin had just done, which was concealing any trace of an aura and appearing silently beside an ultimate existence.

"The Golden Ray Armor doesn't just have the gravitational field!"

Merlin's eyes were stone-cold as he waved a golden arm.

"Bang".

An immense gravitational force slammed straight into the newly consolidated body of the Lord God of Light and smashed him into smithereens. Merlin no longer kept the other Lord Gods bound, so his gravitational field could smash the Lord God of Light easily.

"I've told you, as long as divinity isn't extinguished, a god cannot die. Haha, forever I will not…"

The Lord God of Light choked abruptly. Following that, a petrifying aura that made all the ultimate existences feel threated appeared. It was the golden flames on Merlin's body.

These golden flames burned ablaze and swiftly enveloped the body which was being consolidated by the Lord God of Light. Immediately, the Lord God of Light shrieked, agony evident in his voice.

"As long as divinity exists, a god cannot die. In that case, I'll extract your divinity!"

Underneath the golden ray, Merlin's voice was incomparably ruthless. His entire body wrapped inside the golden ray. With a vicious grip of his hands, a strand of divinity began to leak out amidst the flames.

"Whoosh".

Inside Merlin's palms, a strand of divinity appeared exuding an overwhelming godly might. This was not an ordinary divinity but a Lord God-level divinity which had just been extracted from the Lord God of Light.

"My divinity, how is that possible?"

The Lord God of Light's body started trembling. Looking at the sky-high golden flames, he was terrified. Upon the loss of his divinity, his death would be absolute.

"Merlin can extract divinity?"

The seven remaining Lord Gods seemed to be reeling in disbelief, but that strand of divinity could not be faked. Furthermore, the Lord God of Light's aura was indeed starting to weaken.

The ability to extract divinity was a huge blow to the Lord Gods' hearts. Endless terror filled the air as the powerful Lord Gods tried to escape as far they could. The farther from Merlin, the better.

Suppression of Lord Gods, extraction of divinity, all of these exceeded their knowledge of ultimate existence. Moreover, they could not sense the aura of an ultimate existence on Merlin's body.

"It's the Vestigial Tribe. The Vestigial Tribe's power…"

The Lord God of Light screamed, but he was already engulfed by the golden flames. His body was burned into ash and he vanished completely from the Void Zone.

The Lord God of Light who troubled the Spell Caster civilization for countless years was finally dead. In the end, he could not put up a single ounce of resistance, as his divinity was extracted in plain sight.

"Burn!"

Merlin glanced at the divinity in his hand. Without a moment's hesitation, he tossed it into the Illusory World and set it alight.

"Rumble rumble".

Merlin's Illusory World developed faster and expanded bigger.

"The Lord God of Light is dead, and his divinity has been burned… Quickly go, go go go!"

The Lord God of Flame watched with alarm. He had never met a person as terrifying as Merlin who could crush a Lord God and extract his divinity from his body.

In order to extract a divinity, the opponent must possess an absolute edge in terms of power, unequivocally. Then, only was it possible to extract the divinity alive.

This showed that Merlin was far more powerful than an average Lord God, to an unimaginable extent. Let alone them, even more Lord Gods would not be Merlin's opponent.

Thus, the seven Lord Gods decided to leave immediately.

A mocking smile appeared on Merlin's lips.

"Gravitational field!"

Another burst of gravitational force bounded the seven Lord Gods. Their speeds became immensely slow. At the same time, Merlin's figure disappeared once again.

"Bang".

Wrapped in golden flames, Merlin mysteriously appeared beside the Lord God of Flames. With a large clap, he crushed the Lord God of Light into dust.

"Merlin, don't kill me. I'm a powerful Lord God of Flame. I'm willing to lead the Flame God Organization to join the Spell Caster civilization!"

As soon as the Lord God of Flame's body was crushed, his divinity coalesced into a horrified face as he pleaded with Merlin.

"Fire God Organization? What use would a god be to the Spell Caster civilization?"

Merlin shook his head. The Flame God Organization controlled by the Lord God of Light was indeed a huge force, not at all inferior to the Avian Tribe. After all, each of the eight largest god organizations in the God Alliance could rival a powerful civilization.

However, the current Merlin had no need for gods. Even if the gods were to join the Spell Caster civilization, Merlin had no way to control the Lord God of Flame. Sooner or later, there would be trouble.

Therefore, he spared no mercy. The golden ray transformed into a large hand that directly extracted the Lord God of Flame's divinity and tossed it into the Illusory World to burn.

Merlin's Illusory World was expanding at an unprecedented speed. Even Merlin could feel a growing aura. It seemed that his Illusory World would most likely be able to affect an ultimate existence at this point.

Of course, the effect would be quite minor and not very extensive. After all, Merlin's Illusory World was still far from perfect.

"Not enough, it's still insufficient to perfect the Illusory World. I need more Lord God-level divinities!"

Merlin turned his gaze towards the other Lord Gods. After seeing Merlin kill the Lord God of Light and the Lord God of Flame consecutively and extracting their divinities alive, the remaining Lord Gods were completely cowed. For the first time, they regretted agreeing to the Atlan civilization's proposition.

However, while Merlin was extracting the divinities from the Lord God of Light and the Lord God of Flame, the six 1* remaining Lord Gods were moving away from the gravitational field, albeit very slowly. Nevertheless, they still managed to flee a considerable distance.

"Phew…"

The six Lord Gods heaved a sigh. They could feel the restraint of the gravitational field ebb away. Moving as quickly as they could, they mobilized the power of natural order and fled in various directions.

"No matter what, this Merlin won't be able to deal with six of us at the same time, right?"

Perhaps, this was the thought process of the five remaining Lord Gods. Using all their strength, they fled to the best of their abilities. Even if they were ambushed by a few ultimate existences, it would be difficult to stop them.

This was the trouble of dealing with the ultimate existences. They were very hard to kill, and if allowed to escape, would lead to endless problems in the future.

"I guess I'm still unfamiliar with the powers of the Golden Ray Armor… However, the Golden Ray Armor supposedly comparable to the Thirty-six Emperors can't even deal with a few paltry Lord Gods?"

Enveloped by the golden flames, Merlin's face turned grim. In reality, although it might look like Merlin held the upper hand in the earlier battle that killed the Lord God of Light and the Lord God of Flame, he was actually still adapting and familiarizing himself with the powers of the Golden Ray Armor.

"The Golden Ray Armor's strongest ability, on par with the formidable tactics of the Thirty-six Emperors – the annihilation function!"

Merlin was not a Golden Ray Warrior. He was only able to control the Golden Light Armor because the Matrix swallowed up its program. Therefore, the annihilation function was popped up by the program. It was the Golden Ray Armor's strongest ability.

As for its impact, Merlin was not entirely certain. He only knew that it consumed more energy. Ordinarily, a Golden Ray Warrior would only use the annihilation function when faced against the Thirty-six Emperors.

"Hum".

A strange fluctuation spread slowly from the Golden Ray Armor. Then, like water ripples, it spread rapidly in every direction.

This fluctuation was silent and invisible. If not for Merlin's keen Mind Power, he would not detect it. Moreover, it did not seem to exude any earth-shattering type of power.

However, as the annihilation function began to spread out with Merlin at its center, anywhere it touched, whether it was a former Atlan warship or huge dimension fragments, all of them were pulverized. It was as if nothing could stand in the way of this annihilation function. That was how Merlin discovered its effects.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang."

Six consecutive explosions sounded. Merlin saw the six remaining Lord Gods in a distance being annihilated as the annihilation function passed by. However, this time, they could no longer be resurrected.

This was because even their respective divinities were completely reduced to ash. The annihilation function was definitely a horrible force that destroyed anything and everything in its way!

Chapter 852: The Mighty Annihilation Function!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Silence prevailed. The Void Zone quietened down. None of the Eight Great Lord Gods survived; all were wiped out by Merlin's annihilation function.

"Scary, too scary, what sort of ability is that?"

Inside the stealth flying ship a distance away, Roman, Augustus, and the Avian Monarch were beyond astonished. This time, they truly sensed a chilling fear in their bones. The effect was devastating whenever the invisible fluctuation swept by. Even the Eight Great Lord Gods could not escape.

Merlin stared into the distance at the Void Zone. Moments ago, the Eight Great Lord Gods had been wiped out by his annihilation function. This annihilation function was truly terrifying! This was a power that was actually on par with the Thirty-six Emperors. The reason the Golden Ray Armor was created was to fight the Thirty-six Emperors. It was practically the Vestigial Tribe's ultimate capability.

Faced with this immense power, it was inconsequential no matter if it was six Lord Gods or more. Wherever the annihilation function swept past, natural order was disintegrated and ultimate existences were killed. Basically, nothing could resist this power.

However, it consumed a lot more energy. Fortunately, the Dimension Core left behind by the Vestigial Tribe stored sufficient energy resources. Otherwise, this annihilation function could not be maintained over a long time.

"Too bad the divinities are lost!"

Merlin's original intention was just to test the strongest power of the Golden Ray Armor. Besides the annihilation function, it would be challenging for Merlin to kill the six Lord Gods simultaneously.

Nevertheless, he did not imagine that the annihilation function would be so powerful, that even the divinities were completely destroyed. Otherwise, these six strands of divinities could have hastened the growth of Merlin's Illusory World and achieved success.

"Merlin."

Augustus, Roman and the Avian Monarch flew out of the stealth flying ship. Currently, their attitudes had undergone a distinctive transformation. The former Merlin was capable of defying an ultimate existence with the help of the Slothful Beast but he was merely a Lord without it. After all, Merlin's Mind Power had not achieved the stage where he could influence an ultimate existence.

However, this battle saw Merlin clearly dominating and killing the Eight Great Lord Gods. Basically, Merlin had single-handedly destroyed the God Alliance. Such an ability earned a surge of respect from the Avian Monarch and Roman. Similarly, Augustus no longer dared to treat Merlin like any other Lord now.

"Wizard Augustus, Roman, the Avian Monarch, the threat of the God Alliance has been eliminated."

Merlin grinned. He already noticed Roman and the others a long time ago.

"That's right, the threat posed by the God Alliance is gone. You just single-handedly killed the Eight Great Lord Gods! Merlin, you've obtained a substantial loot from the Atlan Dimension. Is this the legendary Golden Ray Armor?"

Roman could not help but ask Merlin. He was extremely fascinated with the Vestigial Tribe's relics, especially the Golden Ray Armor which was the Vestigial Tribe's strongest ability according to legends.

"That's right, this is the Golden Ray Armor I had obtained by accident in the Atlan Dimension."

Merlin did not hide the truth. He had indeed obtained the Golden Ray Armor. Sooner or later, this news would be spread to all the surrounding foreign tribe civilizations. Although the Vestigial Tribe's history was only known to some of the most powerful or ancient existences, very few people mourned the loss of the Vestigial Tribe. Many people also found out from ancient scrolls, the formidableness of the Vestigial Tribe in those days.

"The Golden Ray Armor… Does this mean that the Atlan Dimension is really created by the Vestigial Tribe? There must be quite a number of Vestigial Tribe relics inside then?"

Roman's tone became excited.

"The Atlan Dimension was indeed created by the Vestigial Tribe, but I've completely destroyed everything inside. I brought with me some of the Vestigial Tribe relics, but even I cannot use it."

Afterward, Merlin briefly described what happened inside the Atlan Dimension, including obtaining a large amount of Black Star Armors and Gray Light Armors, as well as the black cat Didimoss facing a dead-end.

"Actually destroyed… Such a pity."

Roman shook his head fervently. As for the Black Star Armor and Gray Light Armors, he wanted one of each of course, but he could not say anything at that moment. He would have to wait until the war completely ended before asking Merlin.

Augustus, on the other hand, paid attention to Merlin's mention of the black cat Didimoss' dead-end. Anxiously, he glanced at the terrifying power of natural order that converged in the Void Zone. He asked gravely, "Don't tell me, this power of natural order was gathered because of Didimoss?"

Merlin looked up towards the power of natural order that had gathered at the top of the Void Zone. At this time, the power of natural order had subtly combined into a cumulonimbus cloud that shrouded the sky above the Atlan Dimension with no signs of subsiding.

"That's right, it's probably Didimoss' dead-end. Didimoss is also not confident to face it, so he's hiding inside the Atlan Dimension. Since the power of natural order is severed on the inside, his dead-end cannot befall him. Once Didimoss is prepared, he will face the dead-end."

Augustus gazed deeply at the Atlan Dimension and said thoughtfully, "So, life-forms which reversed natural order will really face a dead-end. Previously, I've only heard rumors."

Augustus sighed. He looked at Merlin, seemingly wanting to say something but stopped.

Right now, the Spell Caster civilization would truly flourish. Despite the massive loss they suffered in the war including the loss of Arcane Wizard Setoh, they gained Merlin who was able to vanquish the Eight Great Lord Gods.

Additionally, the life-form which reversed natural order, Didimoss, had a fighting chance to resist his dead-end. Once he succeeded in that endeavor, the black cat Didimoss' powers would grow to unimaginable proportions.

Merlin took a look at Augustus, seemingly understanding the latter's thoughts. He deliberated briefly and spoke. "Wizard Augustus, Didimoss came with me from the Glorious Land, naturally, I won't abandon him. However, the dead-end that awaits the life-form that reversed natural order is truly remarkable. Can give it a try, to see whether I can disperse it?"

Merlin knew that Augustus really wanted to ask if he could disperse the black cat Didimoss' dead-end. Whilst Merlin had never attempted such a feat, he was certain that it would be immensely difficult to disperse Didimoss' dead-end. Otherwise, the Thirty-six Emperors would have dispersed the dead-ends for all those reversed natural order life-forms and turn them into existences comparable to the Thirty-six Emperors.

Nonetheless, Merlin had to try and see, what was this dead-end really?

"Annihilation function!"

The invisible fluctuation appeared on Merlin's body once again. Again, he expanded large amounts of energy and commanded the Golden Ray Armor to detonate the chilling annihilation function.

Ripples of annihilation function headed towards the huge natural order cumulonimbus in an imposing manner. Since the power of the annihilation function was able to kill Lord Gods, it should also be able to disintegrate the power of natural order easily.

"Boom".

Nevertheless, when the annihilation function collided with the natural order cumulonimbus, the entire Void Zone seemed to quake. Upon the impact of the annihilation function, the power of natural order was largely disintegrated.

The power of the annihilation function was capable of disintegrating natural order, and this natural order cumulonimbus was merely the condensation of large amounts of power of natural order.

Therefore, wherever the annihilation power swept past, the huge, overwhelming, chilling natural order cumulonimbus actually shrunk and disappeared.

"Dispersed?"

"The dead-end for reversed natural order life-form disappeared so easily?"

"Is it because the annihilation function is too powerful?"

Wherever the annihilation function traveled, no power seemed able to withstand it. Even the natural order cumulonimbus could not withstand it. Therefore, following the sweep of Merlin's annihilation function, this natural order cumulonimbus was actually dispersed.

Augustus, the Avian Monarch, and Roman were incredibly astonished, including Merlin himself.

"Hoo…"

Suddenly, the dispersed power of natural order converged again. This time, the power of natural order appeared to be even larger and more tangible. Above the sky of the Atlan Dimension, a huge eye seemed to be watching it closely.

Chapter 853: Glory City!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Re-converged?"

Merlin looked at the huge natural order cumulonimbus in the Void Zone that resembled a huge eye. He knew that this was none other than the dead-end. Without killing off the life-form which had reversed the natural order, the power of natural order simply would not subside.

Even if Merlin were to disintegrate it temporarily, the natural order would converge again.

Of course, of the black cat Didimoss succeeded in withstanding the massive impact from the power of natural order, it would result in a transcended life-form. The aura of a transcended life-form would then receive the recognition of the Void Zone.

Perhaps, even the Void Zone would not be able to contain him, thus becoming one of the Thirty-six Emperors like the Flare Emperor. However, such a possibility was extremely minuscule. After all, throughout the ages of the Void Zone, only the Flare Emperor had been born.

"The dead-end cannot be dispersed so easily. I wonder if my Illusory World will face the same dead-end in the future?"

Seeing the chilling power of natural order, Merlin felt slightly nervous. If an ordinary ultimate existence were to face such a dead-end, there would be no hope of survival. No wonder it was called the dead-end. Even the reversed natural order life-forms with limitless potential were unable to escape it.

Looking at the black cat Didimoss' dead-end, Merlin was reminded of his own situation. For now, his Illusory World was safe, but one day, if it began to show signs of transforming illusion into reality, would it be rejected by the Void Zone and become subjected to a dead-end?

If the dead-end did appear, it would be more than hundreds or thousands of times stronger than Didimoss' dead-end. After all, if the black cat Didimoss were to survive this, he would merely become an existence comparable to the Thirty-six Emperors. He would not cause great harm to the entire Void Zone.

On the other hand, if Merlin's Illusory World was turned into reality, it would become a perfect Latitude Cosmos on par with the Void Zone and would pose a huge threat to the Void Zone. Thus, in all likelihood, Merlin might be faced with pressure from the entire Void Zone.

Of course, this was merely Merlin's own speculation, but it was highly probable. In order for his Illusory World to transform illusion into reality, it would not be easier than for the black cat Didimoss to survive this dead-end. In fact, it would be significantly harder, to the point of impossible. The amount of power that could be amassed by the entire Void Zone could not be withstood even by the Golden Ray Armor.

"Merlin, you mentioned that you've controlled the Atlan Dimension?" Wizard Augustus asked anxiously.

"Yes, I managed to control the Atlan Dimension by chance. The Atlan civilization inside the Atlan Dimension had been completely exterminated. Right now, Didimoss is hiding inside the Atlan Dimension."

Merlin smiled. However, Augustus's breathing sped up. He knew the significance of the Atlan Dimension. Back when the Spell Caster civilization discovered the Atlan Dimension, they wanted to occupy it for themselves, because where else could you find such an enormous dimension?

Now that it was controlled by Merlin, the Atlan Dimension could be turned into a base for the Spell Caster civilization. Although it did not contain any elements, they could slowly modify it. Even if they fail to modify it, the Atlan Dimension still possessed the special characteristic of blocking natural order, which would certainly deter the ultimate existences of other civilizations. This was the safest place to house the Spell Caster civilization, even more than the Arcane Cities or the Glorious Land.

"Anyway, Wizard Augustus, let's go back to the Spell Caster civilization first."

Merlin saw that Roman still had a plethora of questions, so it was better for them to return to the Spell Caster civilization first before explaining in detail.Inside a simple subspace recently created by Wizard Augustus in the Spell Caster civilization, there was a bedazzling golden foyer where Titan Giant Chronos, the Avian Monarch, Roman, the Mother Tree, Ceci, Augustus, and Merlin were seated.

This was the strongest force of the Spell Caster civilization gathered together. Undoubtedly, it was for a critical matter.

"Everyone, I believe you already know that the Eight Great Lord Gods have been vanquished. So, there's only the Rock Tribe left to be dealt with. In any case, they're no longer a major threat."

Wizard Augustus looked down with a smile. The outcome today had been accumulated by Merlin. Ever since Merlin returned to the Spell Caster civilization and news about him killing the Eight Great Lord Gods single-handedly spread, it immediately attracted the attention of countless foreign tribe civilizations around them.

Furthermore, as if to cement those rumors, the Spell Caster civilization dispatched a team led by Arcane Wizard Ceci to slaughter all the believers under the God Alliance and occupied their respective dimensions.

At present, the Spell Caster civilization had a formidable existence which was Merlin, the Slothful Beast and the two ultimate existences Augustus and Ceci. Furthermore, they seized the forces of the God Alliance. Hence, the Spell Caster civilization rose overnight into a force more powerful than the God Alliance.

Consequently, there were concerns among the Avian Tribe, the Giant Tribe and so on.

The gathering of so many ultimate existences was precisely to dispel their concerns.

"Everyone, you've rendered your assistance during the most critical moments faced by the Spell Caster civilization. Therefore, we will not expand in the direction of your forces. Moreover, our present dimension is already large enough, we won't need to expand in the next tens of thousands of years."

Augustus was very aware that the current force of the Spell Caster civilization was supported by Merlin alone. The number of dimensions they controlled were more than what they had before this. Such a sprawling dimension was something the Spell Caster civilization could not have achieved in just three thousand years of establishment.

Therefore, these many dimensions were more than enough. Many places were still empty enough for the Spell Casters to develop it over tens or even hundreds of thousands of years. Hence, the Giant Tribe, Avian Tribe and Tree Tribe around them need not worry.

Augustus' words naturally would not loosen their guard completely, but they had no other choice. Who would have thought that the Spell Caster would give birth to an existence as terrifying as Merlin? He killed all Eight Great Lord Gods in a single swoop, even if all the surrounding foreign tribe civilization were to join forces, they might not be able to defeat Merlin.

As long as Merlin was around, the Spell Caster civilization would not deteriorate. On the contrary, it would flourish even more.

While the Avian Monarch and Roman had made known their request to Merlin before he entered the Atlan Dimension, such as the void-level warship, but upon seeing the current development, they smartly kept their mouths shut.

Perhaps the void-level warship still existed, but judging by the strength of the Spell Caster civilization, it would only remain within the Spell Caster civilization.

"What to do with the Rock Tribe?" Titan Giant Chronos asked calmly.

"Rock Tribe? In a while, I will deal with it personally. The Rock Tribe will no longer exist!"

Merlin's tone was also very calm. At his current level, the Rock Tribe was no longer a threat. With the Golden Ray Armor, Merlin had become the top contender among the numerous civilizations in their surroundings, following in the footsteps of the Thirty-six Emperors.

"Everyone, don't worry, Wizard Augustus' promise is also my promise!"

Dressed in the Golden Ray Armor, Merlin reiterated the promise. Although the concerns in the hearts of these ultimate existences were not completely dispelled, Merlin's endorsement helped reduce it by at least half.

Thus, the ultimate existences began to stand up. This gathering also marked their return to their respective places. After all, with Merlin around, the war was over and they were no longer needed.

"Haha, Chronos, you've promised that you'd allow me to enter the ancestral land of the Giant Tribe. Bring me there now, I can't wait."

Roman immediately led Chronos to his stealth flying ship and quickly flew towards the ancestral land of the Giant Tribe.

The Avian Monarch and the Mother Tree was also preparing to leave. Suddenly, Merlin said to the Mother Tree, "Mother Tree, we still need your help."

The Mother Tree paused. He looked at Merlin strangely. "Wizard Merlin, considering your current abilities, what kind of help could we offer you?"

The Mother Tree excelled in defense but faced against the Golden Ray Armor, even the Mother Tree knew that he would not be able to withstand it.

Merlin smiled. "I need the Tree Tribe's dimension modification ability! I'm wondering if the Tree Tribe can modify the Atlan Dimension into a dimension suitable for the inhabitation of Spell Casters?"

Merlin heard of the Tree Tribe's dimension modification ability from the Mother Tree before. They were able to modify millions of dimensions, including those belonging to the Rock Tribe.

"Of course, the Rock Tribe dimensions as well!"

The Mother Tree stewed for a little while and frowned. "The Rock Tribe dimensions are of course not a problem. I can gather some Tree Folk to root themselves there for a few decades or at most a hundred years, then all the Rock Tribe dimensions can be modified into dimensions that are suitable to be inhabited by Spell Casters. The Atlan Dimension, on the other hand, is a bit different. Due to its vast size, ordinary Tree Folks would not be able to modify it. I'd have to modify it personally and also cause considerable damage to myself… However, as to what extent, I would have to see the place for myself. Only by looking at it, I will know whether it can be modified."

The Mother Tree's reply fell within the ambit of Merlin's expectations. Surely, the Atlan Dimension could not be modified by ordinary Tree Folks. Only the Mother Tree would have such an ability.

"Mother Tree, I can bring you to look at the Atlan Dimension now. Wizards Augustus and Ceci, why don't you come with us? One day, the Atlan Dimension might become the base of the Spell Caster civilization!"

Subsequently, Merlin's Golden Ray Armor emitted a golden light that wrapped around the Mother Tree, Augustus and Ceci, then transformed into a golden arrow that flew towards the Atlan Dimension.

"Swish".

Soon, the four of them arrived outside the Atlan Dimension.

"What an incredible speed… The Vestigial Tribe was truly an extraordinary civilization!"

The Mother Tree exclaimed. Previously, he had heard about the formidable prowess of the Vestigial Tribe, as well as witnessed the might of Merlin's Golden Ray Armor, but he did not expect that the speed of the Golden Ray Armor was equally as fast. Its speed was several times faster than the power of natural order mobilized by the ultimate existences.

Merlin smiled but did not say anything. After all, the Golden Ray Armor was the strongest ability of the Vestigial Tribe, so this speed was considered inconsequential.

"Please go ahead, this is the Atlan Dimension."

Merlin directly led the other three into the Atlan Dimension. As soon as they stepped into the Atlan Dimension, the faces of the Mother Tree, Augustus and Ceci underwent a drastic change.

"No more power of natural order."

"I can't sense the power of natural order."

"The Atlan Dimension is truly capable of blocking the power of natural order."

Augustus and Ceci were surprised but not alarmed. Instead, their eyes shut gently, seemingly reminiscing the first time they entered the Atlan Dimension in the past.

Back then, it was the Spell Caster civilization that first discovered the Atlan Dimension. Initially, they thought that they had found a base for the Spell Caster civilization, but conversely released a terrifying civilization.

At that time, Augustus and Ceci had already entered the Atlan Dimension, so they knew that the power of natural order could not be sensed inside the Atlan Dimension. Now that they were back, they were reliving past memories.

Only the Mother Tree was entering the Atlan Dimension for the first time. Therefore, his heart was shaken to the core as he evaluated his surroundings.

Although this space was complete, there was nothing in it and appeared utterly deserted. This was because the starships were destroyed by Merlin's Spatial Windstorm.

"The Atlan Dimension… We wanted to conquer it, but we were the ones who suffered a great loss. Finally, it's back in our hands. Merlin, what are your plans for the Atlan Dimension?"

Augustus and Ceci looked at Merlin. The Atlan Dimension was indeed a good place, but since it was controlled by Merlin, he would have to manage it.

Merlin already made plans. He pointed at the Atlan Dimension. "I'm ready to transform this place into the true origin of the Spell Caster civilization. With the Atlan Dimension, the Spell Caster civilization now has a base."

"Good idea, Merlin. Actually, we have a proposition. Every Ultimate Arcane Wizard is qualified to build an Arcane City. We will be rebuilding our Arcane Cities, but after mastering the Golden Ray Armor, your ability has surpassed most ultimate existences. You're now qualified to build an Arcane City. Therefore, we're discussing making the Atlan Dimension your Arcane City. It will be called Glory City!"

Augustus and Ceci exchanged a look and nodded to one another, obviously already reaching an agreement earlier, but only mentioning it now.

"Glory City?"

Merlin's heart soared. Indeed, with his current abilities and status, he was qualified to build an Arcane City. Furthermore, the Atlan Dimension was a natural 'Arcane City'.

"Yes, Glory City. In the future, it will be a playground for Mind Power Masters."

Of course, Merlin could envision that as his status continued to climb, the Mind Power System perfected by him would also form a powerful force.

With him in charge of Glory City, it would become a base for the Mind Power Masters force.

"Yes, yes, then from now on the Atlan Dimension will be known as Glory City! Mother Tree, so will you be able to modify Glory City into a dimension suitable to be inhabited by Spell Casters?

Merlin turned his gaze towards the Mother Tree.

Chapter 854: Extinction!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Modify Glory City? It's not impossible, but it will consume a lot of my essence, to the point that I will need almost a thousand years to recover afterward. Moreover, the process will take a long time."

After feeling around the Atlan Dimension, the Mother Tree answered with a sigh. Due to the size of the dimension, it would not be possible to delegate the task to other Tree Folks. Only the personal touch of the Mother Tree could successfully modify the Atlan Dimension.

Despite the challenges mentioned by the Mother Tree, Merlin heard the implicit meaning in his words. While the Atlan Dimension was indeed huge, if the Mother Tree decided to modify it, he would definitely succeed.

Then, even without sensing natural order, as long as there were elements, the Spell Casters would be able to flourish in Glory City for a long time. Upon consolidating five ultimate Maxims and achieving the most critical step to integrate with the natural order, only then a Spell Caster could leave Glory City and step into the Void Zone. Such an arrangement was also quite convenient.

Once the Mother Tree succeeded in modifying the dimension, Glory City would become the third Arcane City of the Spell Caster civilization, as well as the most powerful Arcane City. It would certainly overshadow Augustus and Ceci's Arcane Cities.

"Mother Tree, if the Tree Tribe can really modify the Rock Tribe dimensions and Glory City, the Spell Caster civilization will certainly present a generous gift for your effort. How would you like a void-level warship?"

Merlin watched the Mother Tree like a hawk. As soon as Merlin mentioned the void-level warship, a trace of conviction appeared on the Mother Tree's face.

"Really, a void-level warship?"

The Mother Tree seemed hesitant to believe it. After all, Roman and the Avian Monarch had demanded the void-level warship but did not manage to obtain it. With Merlin's current dominion, they did not even dare to mention the void-level warship, because they knew that the void-level warship was extremely important, so the Spell Caster civilization would definitely keep it for themselves.

"That's right, an actual void-level warship! I've controlled the Atlan Dimension, so naturally, I managed to obtain some void-level warships. On the other hand, the Tree Tribe excels at defense but not at offense, so the void-level warship would help fill the gap in the offensive aspect."

Merlin knew that this was an offer that the Mother Tree could not turn down.

The defensive abilities of the Tree Tribe were incredibly powerful. This was evident from the Mother Tree's demonstration where the joint attack of two to three ultimate existences were unable to break through the Mother Tree's defense.

However, he did not have an arsenal of attacks. Compared to an average ultimate existence, the Mother Tree's offensive tactics were not only severely limited, but also not very strong.

By having the void-level warship in the Tree Tribe's possession, should they be threatened by several ultimate existences, the Tree Tribe's defense would be able to first hold off the attack, then activate the void-level warship. Consequently, the Tree Tribe would catapult into a powerful, untouchable civilization.

"Very well, I hope Wizard Merlin can keep your promise. I will stay in Glory City until it is successfully modified."

The Mother Tree agreed with a big smile.

"We can sign a contract!"

Merlin immediately retrieved a contract. This type of contract could bind even the ultimate existences but did not have a substantial effect on Merlin with the Golden Ray Armor. If even Didimoss' dead-end could not prevail over Merlin's Golden Ray Armor, what more a mere contract?

Nevertheless, signing a contract was absolutely necessary. This way, the Mother Tree would be completely at ease and devote his full attention to modify Glory City and turn it into an inhabitable dimension for Spell Casters.

The only downside was that the modification would consume a relatively long period of time. Fortunately, the void-level warship was not built successfully, so Merlin had ample time. Prior to this, Merlin did not have sufficient time, but now that the threat of war had been eliminated, time was no longer an issue.

Of course, there was still the issue of the Rock Tribe.

After a short discussion between Augustus, Ceci, and Merlin, they decided for Merlin to launch the attack on the two Rock Tribe Progenitors, thus ending this war once and for all. Hopefully, the Spell Caster civilization would continue to live in peace once again.Inside a huge dimension, dark clouds that filled the sky faintly gave off a depressing mood.

This was the Rock Tribe Progenitors' dimension. Everything inside the dimension, including the weather, was controlled by the progenitors. Usually, it was bright and sunny, but right now it was dark and stormy. This accurately reflected the moods of the Progenitors.

"Hanra, have you sent off the Rock Tribe's seedlings?"

"All sent off… However, this would only give us a small sliver of hope. Who knows what sort of danger would appear in the vast Void Zone? Perhaps, the very next moment, the Rock Creatures whom we sent off would be killed as well."

Progenitor Hanra's voice was somber, his tone filled with despair.

In reality, the two Rock Tribe Progenitors had no other options. When they learned that Merlin single-handedly vanquished the Eight Great Lord Gods and that he controlled the Atlan Dimension on top of the fact that the mysterious Marshal of the Atlan civilization was dead, and that the Spell Caster civilization had taken over the God Alliance's force, the two Rock Tribe Progenitors knew that they had completely lost the war.

"I never thought that we would lose so appallingly… Back then, had we been wrong?"

Progenitor Hanra raised his head, seemingly filled with regret.

Progenitor Hanra and the other Progenitor did not imagine that the outcome of the war would be so tragic. In the beginning, they were only involved in a war with the Spell Caster civilization. So even if the Spell Caster civilization won, the Rock Tribe would only suffer a minor setback. It would not have come to the point of extinction.

However right now, with the addition of the Lord God of Light and the Atlan civilization, the situation changed. In the end, even the God Alliance joined the war. Whereas Merlin from the Spell Caster civilization again created a miracle and became a terrifying existence capable of vanquishing the Eight Great Lord Gods in a single swoop. The situation changed too quickly.

From the beginning of the war until now, it had only been a few hundred years. For many ultimate existences, a few hundred years was even less than a single hibernation period.

Now that the situation had been completely reversed, the Spell Caster civilization was flourishing. Meanwhile, the Rock Tribe suffered utter defeat and was facing the threat of extinction. This was an outcome that the two Rock Progenitors did not see coming.

As for escaping? The two Rock Tribe Progenitors did not consider it for a moment. Death would only come sooner if they tried to escape. It was impossible that the Spell Caster civilization was not watching them closely.

However, it was too late to regret their choices.

"Perhaps there's one last way… Using our deaths to appease the wrath of the Spell Caster civilization. The Rock Tribe is willing to follow the Spell Caster civilization."

In the end, Progenitor Hanra thought of an idea. However, whether or not it would succeed would depend on the discretion of the top contender of the Spell Caster civilization, Glory Lord Merlin.

"Rock Tribe Progenitors, come on out."

Suddenly, a loud voice boomed outside the dimension. A figure bathed in golden light appeared outside the dimension. The golden rays seemed to emit a dominating aura that made several Rock Creatures feel completely defenseless.

"He's here…"

The two Rock Tribe Progenitors raised their heads towards the sky. The fearsome aura could be felt by everyone.

"Let's go, we'll have to face it sooner or later."

Progenitor Hanra said with a sigh. Knowing that the Rock Tribe was facing a life-and-death moment, they had to bear the consequences as the two ultimate existences of the Rock Tribe.

The Golden Ray Armor on Merlin's body shined with brilliance. There was no one around him. Although Merlin had come alone, his senses told him that there were no worthy Rock Creature opponents amongst the countless Rock Tribe dimensions.

It was unknown at which point of time Merlin possessed the ability to single-handedly exterminate a powerful civilization. Even Merlin himself felt surreal.

"Power, extreme power! This is the feeling of ultimate power…"

Merlin gently savored the power of the Golden Ray Armor. Although this power did not belong to Merlin personally, he could control and mobilize it to vanquish any ultimate existences.

"Swish swish."

Soon, two figures flew out of the dimension. It was the two Rock Tribe Progenitors.

"Glory Lord!"

Progenitor Hanra gazed at Merlin with a complicated expression. Merlin was still considered a Lord but he was the first Lord in the history of Spell Casters to be able to vanquish an ultimate existence.

Of course, Merlin's cultivation as a Spell Caster was extremely sparse. He did not possess considerable talent as a Spell Caster but relied largely on the Matrix in the past.

In the later stages, the Matrix could no longer help Merlin. Therefore, consolidating the ultimate Darkness Maxim and ultimate Flame Maxim, as well as becoming a Lord was the maximum limit that Merlin could possibly achieve. It was almost impossible for him to consolidate other Maxims. Perhaps, it would only be possible if he spent an endless amount of time.

Currently, Merlin's accomplishment in the Mind Power System far exceeded that in the Spell Caster system. Moreover, with the help of the Golden Ray Armor, Merlin could become a powerful existence capable of vanquishing an ultimate existence.

Merlin did not speak but glared coldly at the two Rock Tribe Progenitors. Progenitor Hanra continued. "Glory Lord, the Rock Tribe knows that we are no longer able to fight. We are willing to surrender ninety percent of our dimensions and the two Progenitors are willing to sign a contract to always follow the Glory Lord. We hope that the Glory Lord and the Spell Caster civilization can spare us a chance of survival."

Progenitor Hanra took the initiative to propose a lasting stewardship. As long as they signed the contract, it would be binding, because they could not defy the backlash wielded by the natural order of the Void Zone. This was unless they become an existence similar to the Thirty-six Emperors, or possessed the Golden Ray Armor.

Regardless, both options were out of reach for these two Rock Tribe Progenitors.

Merlin still did not speak, but his gaze turned icier. The two Rock Tribe Progenitors felt a tinge of despair.

Finally, Progenitor Hanra gritted his teeth and said, "Glory Lord, I know that as long as we are alive, you will not be assured. So, we are willing to trade our lives for the survival of the Rock Tribe!"

At this time, Merlin's gaze finally turned into fascination. He spoke slowly, "If you know the consequences, why did you do it? In the Void Zone, countless civilizations have flourished and disappeared repeatedly. Were you unprepared? There could be only one outcome of a war between civilizations, which is the extinction of a civilization. Not only you, but the entire Rock Tribe will disappear completely. This is the price you have to pay!"

Merlin had no mercy for the Rock Tribe. He gently raised a hand and a chilling power enveloped the two Progenitors.

"Price? Haha, yes, this is the price we'll have to pay!"

The two Rock Tribe Progenitors roared and displayed their true forms. Immediately, two huge figures which were bigger than a Giant King rushed towards Merlin.

"End!"

Merlin snorted softly. Instantly, the golden rays transformed into a large hand and a tremendous gravitational field pressed down on the two Rock Tribe Progenitors.

"Crack".

The Progenitors' true form shattered. At the same time, the golden ray brought a wave of destructive power that slammed violently onto the bodies of the two Progenitors. Immediately, the power of natural order contained in their bodies was disintegrated.

"Bang".

The bodies of the two Progenitors exploded in an instant. Their auras disappeared completely. Merlin vanquished the Rock Tribe Progenitors in a single swoop as well.

Looking at the countless Rock Tribe dimensions below, many Rock Creatures were in a frenzy. Merlin shook his head. The Spell Caster civilization would handle the rest. Although it might appear ruthless, extinction was the inevitable outcome of a war between civilizations!

Chapter 855: Mysterious Visitors

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Following the extermination of the Rock Tribe, the Spell Caster civilization expanded once again and its forces grew. At present, the Spell Caster civilization had taken over the God Alliance, the Atlan civilization and the Rock Tribe civilization's respective spheres of influence, thereby swelling several dozen times.

Additionally, Merlin stood guard. Currently, the Spell Caster civilization could be considered to be extremely outstanding, including the Mind Power System. After Merlin announced the establishment of Glory City, the number of Mind Power Masters multiplied.

At this moment, Merlin was settled in Glory City. He was carefully observing the progress of the Illusory World. Although he used some Lord God-level divinities to speed up the progress of the Illusory World, it would take a long time for it to achieve perfection.

"Swish".

Three figures appeared in Glory City, a faint glimmer of flames loomed around their bodies.

"So, this is the Atlan civilization, now called Glory City! It really is extraordinary, I can't sense the power of natural order…"

The man in the lead said with a sigh as he looked around Glory City. Although his body did not exude the aura of an ultimate existence, he was definitely a most sophisticated Lord, far beyond comparison with those Lords who held two or three ultimate Maxims.

"The Glory Lord created Glory City with his own hands. Moreover, Wizard Augustus mentioned that the Glory Lord usually meditates inside the Glory Tower."

A lady piped up.

"Then, let's go to the Glory Tower."

As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them ripped through space and arrived before the Glory Tower which stood tall on the hopeship.

The Atlan Dimension had been renamed into Glory City, but Merlin did not destroy the hopeship. Instead, he utilized some energy to restore the hopeship and built the Glory Tower on top of it, and used it for his meditation spot.

Ever since Merlin killed the two Rock Tribe Progenitors, he had never once left the Glory Tower.

Upon arrival at the Glory Tower, they did not enter but were instead stopped by two beautiful girls. The elemental fluctuation on these two girls was weak, probably only Fourth-level Spell Casters but their Mind Power fluctuations were very strong. The Mind Power fluctuation that flared up due to their aggression had achieved Seventh-level, which was the stage of consolidating a Mind Heart.

Within the Mind Power System, consolidating a Mind Heart was considered a critical turning point. Only someone who successfully consolidated a Mind Heart was recognized as a real Mind Power Master as they would have the ability to interact with the tangible world. Although not yet very powerful, they were at least on par with a Seventh-level Spell Caster.

An Eighth-level Mind Power Master, on the other hand, would have gained enlightenment of Hallucinating spells. This meant that Spell Casters of the same level were no longer a worthy opponent, and they could challenge opponents beyond their level. They were true cross-level Spell Casters.

Although Merlin's Mind Power System had just been announced not too long ago, many talented Mind Power Masters had consolidated a Mind Heart. However, no one had been able to gain enlightenment of Hallucinating spells and achieve an Eight-level Mind Power Master.

"Three Wizards, may I know your reason for coming to the Mind Tower?"

These Seventh-level Mind Power Masters who had consolidated a Mind Heart were merely guardians of the gate. Nevertheless, as the Mind Tower was also the place where the top contender of the Spell Caster civilization, Merlin, meditated, there was rarely any disturbances.

"We are here to see the Glory Lord."

"See the Glory Lord? I'm very sorry, the Glory Lord has been meditating, and refuses to see anyone."

The two Mind Power Masters wrinkled their foreheads. They could sense that the three people in front of them were incredibly powerful and well beyond their capabilities, but they were unafraid.

"I'm Flarite, please inform the Glory Lord!" Flarite said with a smile, not at all angry with the two Mind Power Masters who blocked his way.

"What? You're Sir Flarite?"

The Mind Power Masters were surprised. They certainly knew of Flarite. He was the most powerful existence In the Spell Caster civilization, besides Augustus, Ceci, and Merlin.

Moreover, Flarite's status in the Spell Caster civilization was very special. He was afforded the same treatment as the ultimate existences. Even Wizard Augustus and Wizard Ceci treated him as an equal.

Therefore, the two Mind Power Masters hurriedly replied, "Please wait here, Sir Flarite, we will inform the Glory Lord immediately!"

Thus, the two Mind Power Masters hurried away.

Inside the highest room on the top floor of the tower, two Mind Power Masters came panting before a door and whispered, "Glory Lord, Sir Flarite is asking for you!"

The room was furnished very simply. Merlin wore an ordinary black robe. Inside the room, there were no Maxim fluctuations but Mind Power fluctuations were incredibly intense.

"Flarite?"

Merlin opened his eyes. Although he was meditating, in reality he was slowly accelerating the progress of the Illusory World using Mind Power. It was a labor-intensive process, but without divinity, this was his second-best option.

Of course, he still remembered Flarite. Back when they were trapped in the Flare Emperor's prison, Flarite was the closest to an ultimate existence, equivalent to a mighty existence with five Maxims. However, due to the fact that he had not become an ultimate existence, Flarite did not participate in the battle with the Lord Gods during the war.

"I got it, you may go first."

Merlin waved his hand and the two Mind Power Masters retreated. Merlin stood up and gradually faded from the room.

"Swish."

A familiar figure appeared in front of Flarite and the others.

"Flarite."

"Glory Lord."

Although Flarite was comparable to five ultimate Maxim Lords and was a mighty existence closest to becoming an ultimate existence, he behaved respectfully towards Merlin. This was because Merlin's status was no longer the same as before. After obtaining the Golden Ray Armor, Merlin was second only to existences such as the Thirty-six Emperors.

"Glory Lord, the reason I'm here today is to inform you that I've decided to attempt to integrate with the natural order in three days' time in order to become an ultimate existence!"

Flarite stated the purpose of his visit. He was actually going to attempt the final step, which was to integrate with the natural order.

"The final step, congratulations Flarite. The three of you are all that's left of the Flare Tribe. Once you take the final step, you'll be considered the Flare Emperor's successor!"

Although Merlin was surprised, he was not alarmed. Even back when they left the prison, Flarite was already capable of integrating with the natural order and becoming an ultimate existence. Nevertheless, Flarite was unprepared, so he did not take the final step.

Now that the war had ended and he had time to prepare and meditate, Flarite felt that the time was right. This was the best opportunity for him to integrate with the natural order. Thus, he prepared to integrate with the natural order.

"Yes, the legacy of the Flare Emperor cannot end just like that. The three of us are the last remaining members of the Flare Tribe. The Flare Tribe will need us to slowly develop."

Flarite desired to develop the Flare Tribe, but the Flare Tribe currently only consisted of the three of them. Although the Spell Caster civilization allowed them to recruit some people to join the Flare Tribe, in reality, the conditions for becoming a Flare Creature were very harsh, so not everyone could become a Flare Creature.

Even after a long time, they did not find anyone who fulfilled the requirements to become a Flare Creature. Therefore, to date, the Flare Tribe still consisted of the three of them.

Furthermore, only when Flarite becomes an ultimate existence would he have the time and ability to develop the Flare Tribe.

"Glory Lord, this time I will be integrating with the natural order and taking the final step. Hence, I would like to invite you to witness this ceremony."

This was an absolutely good development. Merlin could not ask for more. Since he was merely a Lord, he did not know anything about integrating with the natural order.

It was a golden opportunity that should not be missed. It would be beneficial for some of the Great Lords with three or four ultimate Maxims to witness the ceremony as well. Perhaps, they would gain some understanding that increased their chances of becoming an ultimate existence in the future.

"I will surely be there."

Flarite nodded and continued. "My integration with the natural order is open to the public. I've invited many people, including several Lords from the Spell Caster civilization, as well as Wizard Augustus and Wizard Ceci. Consider this my repayment to the Spell Caster civilization for accepting us."

Flarite's eyes were brimming with sincerity. If not for the graciousness of the Spell Caster civilization, the three of them would be nomads in the Void Zone. Despite their powerful abilities, if they encountered an ultimate existence, they would be defenseless.

Therefore, the three of them knew that the reason they could live peacefully within the Spell Caster civilization was thanks to Merlin, Augustus, and Ceci.

Especially Merlin. After all, they had escaped from the prison together with Merlin, so they had been through thick and thin.

Merlin nodded. He would definitely attend in three days' time.

Afterward, Flarite did not stay back. He left Glory City and returned to the Void Zone.

At the same time, the entire higher echelon of the Spell Caster civilization was bustling with excited discussions of Flarite taking the final step in three days' time. To many of the three and four ultimate Maxims Lords, this was an opportunity not to be missed.Amidst the pitch-black Void Zone near the edge of the Spell Caster civilization, there was a sudden burst of natural order fluctuations. Under a dazzling light, two burly figures appeared in the Void Zone.

These two mysterious visitors appeared extremely well-built, with two black curved horns above their heads. Their bodies emitted strong fluctuations of the natural order's power. Obviously, they were both foreign tribe ultimate existences.

However, the foreign tribes in the vicinity of the Spell Caster civilization, Giant Tribe, Tree Tribe, Avian Tribe, as well as the former Lord Gods and Rock Tribe, did not have such appearances.

"This is the place. According to the dimension coordinates, the Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimension is generally located inside this region. Still, we'll have to search carefully according to the dimension coordinates. Hehe, I'm afraid we'll be the first to complete this mission assigned by the Honorable Lord. Once we locate the Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimension, I'm sure we'll be rewarded by the Honorable Lord."

Thinking about the reward, a look of excitement appeared on the faces of these two foreign tribe creatures.

Chapter 856: Origin of the Natural Order!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"This place is too desolate and backward. The life-forms here are naturally weak and don't have much intelligence. I haven't seen any ultimate existence which had integrated with the natural order."

The two curved-horn foreign creatures were wrapped in the power of the natural order. They were incredibly fast. The creatures scanned their surroundings and immediately detected the life-forms in the surrounding dimensions, but all of them were very weak.

"Hehe, have you forgotten what the Honorable Lord mentioned? Back then, the reason the Vestigial Tribe built confinement dimensions was to imprison some of the Lord Gods and ultimate existences, so that they cannot sense the power of the natural order. Therefore, confinement dimensions are generally located in very remote areas with sparse resources. Due to the remote location and scarcity of resources, how can a powerful life-form be born? However, this is a good place to imprison the captured ultimate existences and allow the Vestigial Tribe to study them carefully. If not for the Thirty-six Emperors back then, perhaps the entire Void Zone would have been conquered by the Vestigial Tribe."

One of the Curved Horn Creatures showed a look of disdain. He was confident that the life-forms in this place was too weak. These isolated life-forms were definitely not comparable to them.

"Haha, true, the Vestigial Tribe was very powerful. The confinement dimensions they created were originally meant to imprison some ultimate existence, so they were somewhat important. Nevertheless, the real reason Sir Honorable Lord was so tempted to find it was because, when the Vestigial Tribe was finally defeated, they transferred their ultimate powers, knowledge, and strengths inside the confinement dimensions. Perhaps it was because the confinement dimensions were also a relatively strong fort. It was because Sir Honorable Lord managed to control two of the Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimensions and obtained a lot of knowledge and inheritance of the Vestigial Tribe, that he managed to create a prosperous Great Light Region."

Whenever the Curved Horn Creatures mentioned the 'Honorable Lord,' there was a look of reverence on their faces. Apparently, the mysterious Honorable Lord was most revered.

"Okay, let's use the Vestigial Tribe's Aurora warship and hurry up. We must help Sir Honorable Lord locate the third Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimension. Then, we will have the ability to overshadow the other Light Envoys, and perhaps become the leaders of the Seventy-Two Light Envoys!"

The two Curve Horn Creatures increased their speed. Amidst the Void Zone, only two small undetectable streamers of light were vaguely visible. Their speed was several times' faster than any ultimate existence.In a huge empty space amidst the vast Void Zone, numerous powerful existences from the Spell Caster civilization were gathered together. Even the least of them was a two ultimate Maxim Lord.

"Swish swish".

Another few figures that flashed with the power of the natural order landed in their midst. It was Titan Giant Chronos and the ultimate existence of the Avian Tribe, the Avian Monarch.

Both of them represented the Avian Tribe and the Giant Tribe respectively. After all, the God Alliance and the Rock Tribe had been exterminated, so these civilizations were the nearest to the Spell Caster civilization. This time, Flarite from the Spell Caster civilization was taking his final step and a new ultimate existence might be born, so naturally, they would not stay away.

"Chronos, Avian Monarch, welcome to the ceremony!"

Merlin was dressed in a plain black robe that did not seem to exude any terrifying aura, but his status was unequivocally the top contender among the surrounding civilizations. Thus, the Avian Monarch and Chronos hurriedly replied, "Glory Lord, you're being too kind. We are grateful to be invited to witness Flarite take the final step. We even brought with us a few strong contenders from our tribes to observe the ceremony. We apologize in advance for the inconvenience."

As soon as he finished speaking, strong contenders from the Giant Tribe and Avian Tribe began to file in behind the two of them. Being able to observe the process of integrating with the natural order at such a close range was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Merlin nodded and turned his gaze towards Flarite. The main highlight of the day was Flarite. He would be taking the final step, which attracted everyone's attention.

"I heard that in order to take the final step, one must first activate the origin of the natural order. It is the most essential core of the entire Void Zone and the source of all power. Only by integrating one's willpower into the origin of the natural order and earning the acknowledgment of the origin of the natural order, the process would be considered successful. Only then, one can wield the power of the natural order and become an ultimate existence!"

In the last few days, Merlin had been asking Arcane Wizard Augustus, Arcane Wizard Ceci and so on about how the ultimate existences accomplished their final step. He was no longer ignorant.

In fact, no matter what type of civilization, the process of taking the final step was the same. Whether it was the Spell Caster civilization, Tree Tribe civilization, Giant Tribe and so on, they observed the final step of integrating with the origin of the natural order and earning its acknowledgment.

Of course, the Vestigial Tribe was different. They developed external objects which did not have to integrate with the natural order, yet capable of unleashing powers that were stronger than the ultimate existences. Perhaps, due to this reason, the natural order of the Void Zone indirectly influenced every foreign tribe civilization in the Void Zone to join forces and fight the Vestigial Tribe.

"Wizard Augustus, Wizard Ceci, as for the final step of integrating with the origin of the natural order, how can someone ensure that they will be acknowledged by the origin of the natural order? Or perhaps, how can you increase the chances of earning acknowledgment from the origin of the natural order, in order to integrate your willpower with it?"

Merlin noticed that in order to integrate with the natural order, the most critical step was to earn the acknowledgment of the origin of the natural order.

Augustus knew that Merlin was only a Lord. However, he could not evaluate Merlin's Mind Power System properly and assumed that eventually, Merlin would also have to take the final step to become an ultimate existence. Therefore, he explained everything he knew to Merlin in meticulous detail.

"The origin of the natural order. First and foremost, only those who have reached the critical point of becoming an ultimate existence, such as the Lords in our Spell Caster civilization who are able to consolidate five ultimate Maxims, would be able to activate the origin of the natural order. In theory, everyone only has one chance to activate the origin of the natural order. Hence, if you fail to earn the acknowledgment of the origin of the natural order the first time, it would be considered a failure. Then, it's almost impossible to become an ultimate existence, because the person will no longer be able to activate the origin of the natural order again."

"No matter how powerful an existence is, it's impossible to activate the origin of the natural order by force, so everyone only has once chance. For this reason, they must work hard to accumulate their odds. No one knows how to increase the chances of earning the origin of the natural order's acknowledgment. The origin of the natural order is a mystery, the biggest mystery of the Void Zone, as well as the source of all power. In other words, anyone who takes the final step is, in fact, taking a gamble!"

Merlin's eyes widened. He said incredulously, "Taking a gamble? On sheer luck?"

"That right, in theory, it's a gamble of luck."

Augustus smiled wryly, while Merlin stared at Flarite with an expression of disbelief. He did not expect that many of the ultimate existences took the final step gambling on sheer luck.

If a Spell Caster could consolidate five ultimate Maxims, he would be eligible to activate the origin of the natural order. However, whether or not he received an acknowledgement from the origin of the natural order was a wild gamble, no one knew what would happen.

Merlin shook his head. If it was a mere gamble of luck, then it was truly difficult to become an ultimate existence.

"I wonder if Flarite will succeed?"

Merlin looked at Flarite anxiously. Both he and Flarite broke out of the Flare Emperor's prison together, so he knew of Flarite's wishes.

Flarite's dream was to develop the Flare Tribe. The Flare Tribe was not a special race, as long as one cultivated the methods left behind by the Flare Emperor, it was possible to become a Flare Creature. However, it had strict restrictions.

Up to now, Merlin even opened up the entire Spell Caster civilization for Flarite to select any candidates. As long as the person fulfilled the conditions of becoming a Flare Creature and was willing to become a Flare Creature, Merlin would allow it.

Nonetheless, after all this time, Flarite had not found anyone that fulfilled the conditions of becoming a Flare Creature. Right now, becoming an ultimate existence was actually the first step of Flarite's plan. Only by becoming an ultimate existence, he would be able to travel further away to search for people who were suitable to join the Flare Tribe.

This first step was extremely arduous and no one could help him.

The Void Zone suddenly quietened down. Despite the number of people, it was completely silent. Everyone was staring intently at the figure in the middle of the Void Zone – Flarite!

"Boom".

The Void Zone which did not contain time and space jolted violently. Perhaps it was a feeling in everyone's heart, but the ultimate existences in particular, felt a sense of indescribable joy. Even their powers of the natural order seemed eager to break free, that they had to suppress them with all their might.

"Merlin, Flarite is mobilizing all his strength to activate the origin of the natural order!"

The expressions of the ultimate existences, including Augustus, were extremely solemn. They had only witnessed the origin of the natural order once in their life, which was when they took the final step and integrated with the natural order.

"Hum".

The flames on Flarite's body turned into a sea of fire but at this very moment, a ball of white light gradually appeared amidst the sea of fire. The light was misty, like a cloud.

However, this white cloud was expanding rapidly and no one could see what was inside.

Merlin's heart ticked. He condensed his Mind Power and extended it towards the giant cloud. He knew that this was the source of the power of the entire Void Zone, the origin of the natural order with infinite powers!

However, when Merlin's usually infallible Mind Power touched the origin of the natural order, an unimaginable force slammed into his mind and restrained him forcefully.

Meanwhile, Merlin's Illusory World was completely powerless against this massive force. It was almost ready to collapse.

"Hum hum hum."

The cloud layer over the Void Zone began to quake fiercely. Multiple bursts of power descended in a frenzy. No one saw that Merlin's face paled all of a sudden.

This burst of power that came from the origin of the natural order seemed to be aimed at Merlin's Illusory World. It unleashed a frenzied oppression, as though it would not rest until the Illusory World was destroyed.

It was at this moment that Merlin was discreetly horrified. He already knew that the Illusory World was in direct conflict with the Void Zone's natural order, so he should not have used it to investigate the origin of the natural order. Now he was digging his own grave and was incapable of resistance. The Illusory World was yet to succeed, let alone have the power to resist the power of the origin of the natural order?

"Golden Ray Armor!"

Merlin's body flashed goldenly. He could only rely on the Golden Ray Armor and see whether it could block the origin of the natural order's siege on the Illusory World.

This was a testament as to the extent to which the Illusory World posed a threat to the Void Zone. As soon as the origin of the natural order sensed the Illusory World, it tried to destroy it frantically.

"In the future, even if I want to integrate with the natural order and give up on transforming the Illusory World from illusion into reality, I'm afraid it will be impossible…"

Merlin shook his head helplessly. Everyone else could activate the origin of the natural order, except Merlin. If he were to activate the origin of the natural order and possess the Illusory World, he would be attacked by the entire Void Zone's power of the natural order.

For others, activating the origin of the natural order was a golden opportunity, yet for Merlin, it would be catastrophic!

Chapter 857: The Curved Horn Tribe!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"The origin of the natural order!"

Flarite fiercely looked up towards the huge 'cloud'. That was not a real cloud. Standing below it, Flarite felt a terrible kind of pressure oppressing him. It was the origin of the natural order of the Void Zone.

Immediately, the power brewed to the peak and overflowed, fiercely breaking out and urging Flarite's firm will into merging with the origin of the natural order.

"Boom."

Flarite's mind turned into a sea of white as if he had a strange feeling. In the origin of the natural order, he felt great tenacity. They might have been the willpower of ultimate existences who once willingly merged with the origin of the natural order.

However, even Flarite was not sure if they succeeded or not.

At this time, besides Flarite, many other people were also watching the ceremony anxiously. The origin of the natural order of the Void Zone rapidly swelled. Whether or not Flarite would be able to obtain the recognition of the origin of the natural order would soon be revealed.

Once successful, the Spell Caster civilization would have another ultimate existence. Therefore, everyone held their breaths and nervously looked at the huge origin of the natural order.

"Swoosh."

Many people had not noticed that two faint streaks of lights had quietly approached the crowd.

Soon, two strange-looking foreign tribe members gradually appeared from the streaks of light. There was a curved horn growing on each of their heads, and they wore very strange clothing. They did not belong to any of the foreign tribes in the surroundings.

"Haha, someone actually dares to fuse with the natural order to become an ultimate existence in such a wild and remote area? We're really too lucky. Don't they know that fusing with the origin of the natural order is the most dangerous?"

The two Curved Horn Tribe members looked at the huge origin of the natural order and showed a trace of greed in their eyes. They felt that they were incredibly lucky that they encountered someone who could move and try to integrate with the natural order while they were searching for the Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimensions.

In the Great Light Region, almost everyone knew that it was extremely dangerous to fuse with the natural order. If there was not a powerful existence to protect them, other ultimate existences might even act and forcefully enter or even plunder the power of the natural order in the origin of the natural order. That would be equivalent to mobilizing the origin of the natural order twice.

Of course, the person currently fusing with the natural order would then have a hundred percent chance of failure and be unable to gain the origin of the natural order's acknowledgment, and therefore unable to become an ultimate existence.

Therefore, anyone in the Great Light Region who wanted to become an ultimate existence had to find an extremely remote area and invite countless friends to help protect him so that other ultimate existences could not take advantage of him.

"It really is too remote here. No powerful creatures were born here before. Look at the living beings here. They're all extremely weak. Even if there was an ultimate existence, it was only at the first-grade. They're too weak. Hehe, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Do you want to try? As long as we can plunder the power of the natural order in the origin of the natural order, we can break through the peak of first-grade and reach the second-grade. At that time, we'll become powerful Light Guardians when we return to the Great Light Region!"

The two Curved Horn Tribe members were extremely excited. To them, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They could see that although there were many ultimate existences here, none of these ultimate existences were a match for them. The gap was too large. Moreover, there were only a few people who were guarding the person fusing with the natural order and most of them were merely watching the process carefully. If they acted, they would most likely succeed.

"The second-grade… we worked so hard to find the Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimensions for the Great Light Honorable Lord. Isn't it just to get the reward from Great Light Honorable Lord and enter the second-grade? Now, there's a chance right in front of us. These foolish beings don't know about fusing with the natural order. They're basically giving us this chance."

As a result, the two Curved Horn Tribe members showed themselves without any hesitation. The white light on their bodies was like two dazzling streaks, and they brazenly charged into the origin of the natural order.

"Boom."

The origin of the natural order shook violently due to the entry of the two uninvited guests, making it go berserk. The power of the natural order madly condensed.

Flarite paled as his expression changed greatly. He stared at the two Curved Horn Tribe members destroying his opportunity. They were clearly robbing his chance of becoming an ultimate existence.

However, Flarite could not be distracted now, so he did not pay attention to them. If his will changed, the origin of the natural order would reject him, and he would lose any chance he had.

"Who are they?"

"A foreign tribe? They don't look like they're from the Giant Tribe, Tree Tribe, or Rock Tribe. Their bodies have the terrifying power of the natural order. Who exactly are these two people?"

"Oh no, they're trying to destroy Flarite's chances at becoming an ultimate existence. Stop them!"

From the moment the two Curved Horn Tribe members revealed the life force on their bodies, they were discovered by everyone. Although they did not know what was going on, they felt the surging life force on the two Curved Horn Tribe members' bodies and immediately knew that it was harmful for Flarite to fuse with the natural order.

However, the other ultimate existences did not move. These two Curved Horn Tribe members were clearly extremely powerful ultimate existences. They were not ultimate existences from the Spell Caster civilization, so they did not dare fight two powerful ultimate existences without a good reason.

Nevertheless, Wizard Augustus and Wizard Ceci were ultimate existences from the Spell Caster civilization and now that Flarite was a member of the Spell Caster civilization, they would not sit idly by.

Augustus and Ceci glanced at each other, and with incredible speed, they mobilized the power of the natural order and formed two giant hands which mercilessly slammed the two Curved Horn Tribe members.

"Hmph, mere first-grade ultimate existences dare to stop us from plundering the power of the natural order? How ridiculous. Scram!"

One of the Curved Horn Tribe members merely waved his hand slightly which immediately set off a terrifying storm. The outburst formed by the violent power of the natural order directly crushed Augustus and Ceci's attack and sent them flying. The two were injured in varying degrees.

"Who the hell are you people?"

Augustus and Ceci's eyes were filled with horror. They had attacked together, especially Augustus, whose strength was clearly stronger than ordinary ultimate existences. However, they could not resist a blow from one of the enemies even though they teamed up.

Recalling the terrifying storm he caused using the power of the natural order, the two men felt powerless as if he could easily kill them if he wanted to.

"Haha, do weak creatures like you have the right to know who we are? You're just too weak. I'm afraid you don't even have the inheritance of ultimate existences. Just the two of us are enough to deal with all of you. You're lucky that there's someone mobilizing the origin of the natural order this time. Don't worry, when we use the origin of the natural order to become second-grade ultimate existences, we'll let you all leave alive, haha!"

The two Curved Horn Tribe members burst out laughing. The power on their bodies grew more terrifying as the power inside the origin of the natural order poured wildly toward them. They were plundering it.

"There are grades for ultimate existences?"

Many of the ultimate existences were shocked. Not everyone knew about the existence of the Thirty-six Emperors. Even if they did, they only knew that the Thirty-six Emperors were extremely powerful and stood at the very top but none of them knew what the essential difference between them and an ordinary ultimate existence was.

The two Curved Horn Tribe members in front of them clearly came from a faraway place and had obtained a complete inheritance.

These two ultimate existences suppressed the other ultimate existences and the entire Void Zone seemed to fall silent. Their gaze fell towards Merlin.

Now, perhaps only Merlin could stop these two Curved Horn Tribe members.

"Haha, the origin of the natural order is indeed quite good. Where would we enjoy this kind of treatment in the Great Light Region? Even if someone wanted to merge with the natural order and become an ultimate existence, there would naturally be other Light Guardians or Light Envoys more powerful than us who would take advantage. How would we get a chance like this?"

"Now, in this remote area, the two of us are the strongest. Haha, we can plunder the power of the natural order in the origin of the natural order to our heart's content. Hehe, we can even find out who else has the ability to merge with the natural order and plunder again. Maybe we'll even be able to reach the second-grade!"

The two Curved Horn Tribe members felt extremely complacent. They felt that they were able to mobilize more and more of the natural order's power, and were already twice as strong as they were before.

If they were in the Great Light Region, it would take tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years to slowly accumulate by slowly cultivating.

However, they succeeded in a very short period of time but of course, it was still a long way to the second-grade. They even wanted to continue and search for people who would soon reach the final step and force them to mobilize the origin of the natural order so that they could improve their strength rapidly.

They had not expected that they would gain such benefits from looking for the Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimension for their Honorable Lord.

"Swoosh."

At that moment, Merlin moved. There was no strong life force on his body, but his eyes were full of coldness. He stepped toward the two Curved Horn Tribe members.

"The Glory Lord is moving."

"I don't know if the Glory Lord can defeat these two mysterious people. The life force on their bodies is too large. We also don't know where they're from…"

The Titan Giant Chronos, the Avian Monarch, and the others all watched with a gleam in their eyes. At that moment, they no longer had any fear towards the Spell Caster civilization and they all hoped that Merlin could defeat those two Curved Horn Tribe members.

"Hm? You're not even an ultimate existence and don't have the power of the natural order, but you still dare to stick your head out?"

The two Curved Horn Tribe members laughed coldly. They did not see Merlin as a threat at all. They could see at a glance that Merlin did not have any power from the natural order.

Did he want to go against them without possessing the power of the natural order? The two Curved Horn Tribe members casually pointed and the turbulent power of the natural order immediately turned into a giant palm and shot towards Merlin.

Chapter 858: Understand I

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The violent surging of the power of the natural order was far greater than the power Augustus and Ceci could use. It was almost equivalent to the power of the natural order from four to five ultimate existences.

Just considering the amount of the natural order's power, these two Curved Horn Tribe members were too strong. However, Merlin's expression was unusually calm. With just that power, it was impossible to damage the Golden Ray Armor.

"Gravitational field."

Merlin's black Wizard robe suddenly changed into gold, as if there was a layer of golden light continuously flowing like ripples in water, reverberating layer after layer.

Merlin activated the Golden Ray Armor and used the gravitational field he was most skilled at.

"Boom."

Immediately, the power of the natural order in the Void Zone became slightly sluggish. The gravitational field of the Golden Ray Armor targeted ultimate existences, so the power of the natural order could also be bound by the gravitational field.

The Vestigial Tribe really were an extremely mysterious civilization. They never merged with the natural order and were not strong on their own but the warships and armor they developed were so powerful, it was unfathomable. It had the ability to transform an ordinary person into one of the strongest people.

Even if Merlin was not an ultimate existence, he could instantly kill the eight Gods with the Golden Ray Armor!

The huge power of the natural order was restrained by Merlin's gravitational field. Merlin then lightly clenched his fist and said lowly, "Disintegrate!"

Golden light enveloped the natural order and instantly disintegrated the large power that scattered before disappearing. Merlin's eyes flashed with a golden light as he stared at the two Curved Horn Tribe members.

"Oh no, this person has the ultimate weapon of the Vestigial Tribe: The Golden Ray Armor. How is that possible?"

The two Curved Horn Tribe members saw the Golden Ray Armor on Merlin's body and wore expressions of disbelief as if they saw something inconceivable. They were able to recognize the Golden Ray Armor at a glance, which showed that they were no strangers to the Vestigial Tribe. In fact, they were quite familiar with it.

"The Golden Ray Armor. This person has the Golden Ray Armor and can even use it. This is unheard of! I've never heard of anyone who could use the ultimate weapons of the Vestigial Tribe since its demise. Not even the Gray Light Armor could be used by anyone. Quick, go back and report to the Honorable Lord. This is a greater merit than discovering a confinement dimension!"

The two Curved Horn Tribe members immediately decided to stop plundering the power inside the origin of the natural order. They enveloped themselves within the power and swiftly fled into the distance.

"Gravitational field, bind!"

Merlin had long used the power of the Golden Ray Armor to seal off the surrounding Void Zone. Therefore, the power of the gravitation field immediately broke out when he saw the two Curved Horn Tribe members trying to escape.

Boundless gravity unceasingly restricted the two Curved Horn Tribe members. Even the power of the natural order could be bound, so they immediately slowed down. Merlin approached them step by step.

"Damn it, use the Aurora warship, quickly!"

The Curved Horn Tribe members looked terrified. They were arrogant before and thought that they found a good chance to exploit others. They did not care about anyone in this remote area and even felt extremely lucky.

However, they wanted to quickly run as far as possible. This was not a lucky place. It was clearly the place where they would be buried. Who would have thought that in the Vestigial Tribe's greatest power, the Golden Ray Armor, would appear in this remote area?

As part of the Seventy-two Light Envoys of the Great Light Region, they knew that the strongest contender in Great Light Region, the Great Light Honorable Lord, possessed two confinement dimensions left behind by the Vestigial Tribe.

Therefore, they were very familiar with the Golden Ray Armor and the Vestigial Tribe. Seeing Merlin use the Golden Ray Armor, how would they dare to resist? After all, the Golden Ray Armor was comparable to the great existences; the Thirty-six Emperors. As part of the Seventy-two Light Envoys, they had only reached the first-grade. They were considered weak among ultimate existences.

"Whiz whiz."

The two Curved Horn Tribe members used the Aurora warships without any hesitation. This was also the Vestigial Tribe's warship and was extremely fast. Although it had no offensive capabilities, its speed was terrifying. To them, who had these Aurora warships, it was easy to go from one territory to another.

Therefore, even with the restriction of the gravitational field, the two Curved Horn Tribe members moved extremely fast like a ray of light. They instantly rushed out of Merlin's gravitational field.

Merlin frowned. This was the first time he encountered such a tough opponent while using the Golden Ray Armor. It would not be easy to pursue them.

Still, the Vestigial Tribe used all their means and technology and applied it on the Golden Ray Armor.

Hence, the Golden Ray Armor had speed!

"Swoosh."

Merlin's Golden Ray Armor was so quick it only left a streak of golden light behind. Then, the Golden Ray Armor disappeared without a trace.

"It's hidden?"

The two Curved Horn Tribe members who could not find the Golden Ray Armor anymore grew fearful instead.

Suddenly, a hint of golden light appeared in front of their Aurora warships. In an instant, an even heavier gravitational field pressed down as the Golden Ray Armor clad Merlin appeared again.

Merlin held out his hands which contained terrifying power and easily tore apart the power of the natural order shrouding the Aurora warships.

Without the power of the natural order, Merlin easily destroyed the Aurora warship.

"Don't kill us. We're part of the Seventy-two Light Envoys of the Great Light Region. If you kill us, the Great Light Honorable Lord will find our location instantly. At that time, the Vestigial Tribe confinement dimension that you control as well as your civilization will all suffer retaliation from the Great Light Honorable Lord. Your civilization will be destroyed in an instant."

The two Curved Horn Tribe members also stopped. They knew that they had no way of escaping the Golden Ray Armor in front of them. It was better to stop and negotiate.

Now, all they could rely on was the illustrious Great Light Honorable Lord that was famous even in the Void Zone.

"Great Light Region? The Great Light Honorable Lord?"

Merlin hesitated. He had no memory of that unfamiliar place and contender. It should be somewhere very far from the Spell Caster civilization.

"Leave the Aurora warship first."

Merlin recognized the exceptionally swift warship at a glance. This was a speed-type warship that the Vestigial Tribe commonly used. Although it had no fighting capacity, it was extremely fast. It could pass through the entire Spell Caster civilization in the time needed to take a few breaths.

The Vestigial Tribe had relied on large numbers of Aurora warships to sweep across the Void Zone; even Merlin greatly needed an Aurora warship. Although his Golden Ray Armor was faster than the Aurora warship, the energy it consumed was also extremely terrifying. Merlin simply would not waste energy and use the Golden Ray Armor to travel.

"That's…"

The two Curved Horn Tribe members hesitated. This Aurora warship did not belong to them but the Great Light Honorable Lord. They only had a certain right to use it because they were temporarily awarded by the Great Light Honorable Lord for searching for confinement dimensions.

"You don't have a choice!"

The power of the annihilation function slowly emerged from Merlin's body. The terrifying sense of oppression made the two Curved Horn Tribe members feel like they were suffocating. They did not dare to have any other ideas and immediately flew out of the Aurora warship.

"Tell me about the Great Light Region and the Great Light Honorable Lord."

Merlin waved directly at the two Aurora warships and kept them in his ring; the two Curved Horn Tribe members flinched. If they lost the Aurora warships, they would be severely punished even if they returned.

However, they were way in over their heads now. Before Merlin's Golden Ray Armor, they could not afford to resist and could only do as Merlin said.

"This territory is too remote, so it's only natural you don't know about the Great Light Region. The Great Light Region was created by the Great Light Honorable Lord and is called a first-rate major force even in the Void Zone. We have seventy-two Light Envoys and thirty-six Light Guardians and we're part of the Seventy-two Light Envoys."

"How is the strength of your Seventy-two Light Envoys in the Great Light Region?"

This was what Merlin was most concerned about. Judging from the fight earlier, these two men were far stronger than any other ultimate existence present. Merlin even suspected that they could harm the Slothful Beast.

"We're considered ordinary among the Seventy-two Light Envoys. We're just in the peak of first-grade, but everyone in the Thirty-six Light Guardians has reached second-grade. They're far from what we can match. As for the Great Light Honorable Lord, he's even more powerful. He holds two Vestigial Tribe confinement dimensions and is a third-grade contender himself. He commands the entire Great Light Region and is extremely powerful!"

Merlin's expression was hidden as he was wearing the Golden Ray Armor but was incredibly shocked. The strength of these two Curved Horn Tribe members was already stronger than Augustus, Chronos and the others. Several ultimate existences might not even be able to defeat one of them.

However, their strength was only considered average in the Great Light Region. There were still thirty-six Light Guardians who were stronger than them and there was even a Great Light Honorable Lord whose strength was even more unfathomable.

Merlin's thoughts flickered in his mind. He seemed to vaguely feel that the arrival of these Curved Horn Tribe members was actually opening a window for him and the countless foreign civilizations around them.

Only through this window would they realize their insignificance. The vast Void Zone, the Spell Caster Civilization, the God Alliance, the Giant Tribe, Tree Tribe, Avian Tribe and so on, were only a small area, as small and insignificant as grains of sand.

Chapter 859: Understand II

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Great Light Region and Great Light Honorable Lord were far away from the Spell Caster civilization. According to the two Curved Horn Tribe members, the Spell Caster civilization was located in an extremely remote and uncivilized territory.

"What are you here for?"

Merlin continued to ask. He did not believe that two people with such strength would come to this remote territory for no reason.

"We're under the command of the Great Light Honorable Lord to search for confinement dimensions left behind by the Vestigial Tribe. According to the coordinates of the dimension, we found that the confinement dimension is in your civilization."

"The Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimensions?"

Merlin was shocked and immediately thought of the Atlan Dimension, which was now Glory City! That was the only dimension that was left behind by the Vestigial Tribe.

"Tell me more about the confinement dimension."

The two Curved Horn Tribe members knew that as someone from a remote territory, Merlin would not know much about general knowledge. However, he possessed the Golden Ray Armor that even the Great Light Honorable Lord did not have and could even use its power which puzzled them. Therefore, they did not delay and said respectfully, "The Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimensions are actually to imprison Lord Gods and ultimate existences in the Void Zone because it can block the power of the natural order. Yet, it's only possible to imprison ultimate existences. When the Vestigial Tribe was about to collapse, they placed many treasures and knowledge inheritances into the confinement dimensions. There are many confinement dimensions in the Void Zone and there are a few who accidentally chanced upon some confinement dimensions. From there, their strength rose sharply and they became preeminent existences in the Void Zone.

After speaking, the two then looked at Merlin with a strange gaze. They suspected that Merlin only became this powerful because he had taken control of a confinement dimension.

However, there were both strong and weak confinement dimensions. At least, there were no ultimate weapons in the confinement dimensions controlled by the Great Light Honorable Lord, only a few powerful treasures.

Merlin's heart shuddered. It turned out that the Atlan Dimension was a confinement dimension created by the Vestigial Tribe dedicated to imprisoning ultimate existences and Lord Gods. That would explain why so many Lord God-level divinities were discovered in the Atlan Dimension.

Moreover, from what the two Curved Horn Tribe members said, there was not only one, but many confinement dimensions. There might be confinement dimensions left behind by the Vestigial Tribe everywhere in the vast Void Zone.

After all, how huge were the Vestigial Tribe's forces? It was normal to have left behind many confinement dimensions.

"Since the confinement dimensions can imprison ultimate existences and block the power of the natural order, why did your Great Light Honorable Lord dare to enter the dimension and seize these Vestigial Tribe confinement dimensions?"

Merlin thought about the crucial point. The confinement dimensions were able to block the power of the natural order. Once that happened, even ultimate existences would be powerful Lords at best and could be easily killed by void-level warships. Furthermore, there were countless fortress cannons in a confinement dimension, so no matter how many ultimate existences entered, they would not be of much use.

One of the Curved Horn Tribe members smiled wryly and shook his head. "That's only for ordinary first-grade ultimate existences. Our Seventy-two Light Envoys and all your ultimate existences here are only first-grade ultimate existences. However, our Seventy-two Light Envoys have basically reached the peak of the first-grade."

"The first-grade is able to mobilize the power of the natural order. The more you mobilize, the stronger you are. However, this method of accumulation is extremely slow, but if you can mobilize the origin of the natural order again, then you can enter the natural order's origin and plunder the power of the natural order inside. That'll allow you to greatly improve your control over the power of the natural order and you'll enter the second-grade faster."

Merlin nodded and motioned for the two to continue. He already knew why the two Curved Horn Tribe members suddenly acted earlier. Flarite had mobilized the origin of the natural order, but no one was guarding him. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They did not even need to think and immediately began to plunder the origin of the natural order.

After all, an ultimate existence could only mobilize the origin of the natural order once. There was little choice but to plunder others. They could also slowly accumulate, but that would take an extremely long time.

The two Curved Horn Tribe members continued. "When you reach the peak of first-grade and can easily use huge amounts of the natural order's power, ultimate existences would then try to store the power of the natural order inside their bodies. If they're successful, then they'll go from the first-grade to second-grade."

"The confinement dimension can block ultimate existences from sensing the power of the natural order, but that's only for first-grade ultimate existences who don't have the power of the natural order in their bodies. When they reach the second-grade, their bodies would have already had large amounts of power and they would be able to use that power wherever they are. The confinement dimension would be of no threat to them at all."

Merlin's eyes shined. He had no clue that there were so many differences between ultimate existences like first-grade and second-grade. Augustus, the Titan Giant Chronos, the Avian Monarch and the rest were just first-grade. Furthermore, they were on the bottom rung of the first-grade and could not compare with the two Curved Horn Tribe members.

"What about those above the second-grade? What about the Thirty-six Emperors?"

"You know about the Thirty-six Emperors?"

The two Curved Horn Tribe members wore very strange expressions, but they looked at the Golden Ray Armor on Merlin's body and shook their heads again. The things they saw today were even more bizarre than what they had seen in the past tens of thousands of years.

"Above the second-grade is the third-grade. The third-grade is accumulating the power of the natural order until it can evolve into a space and that space will contain the terrifying power of the natural order. For ultimate existences like that, they could easily destroy entire territories. Even tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dimensions are nothing. The Great Light Honorable Lord is an ultimate existence belonging to the third-grade. If he wished, he could easily annihilate your entire Spell Caster civilization."

With a wave of his hand, he could destroy the entire Spell Caster civilization. Augustus, the Avian Monarch and the others standing at the side were shocked. They approached Merlin and were attracted by the two Curved Horn Tribe members' words.

However, Merlin appeared to be very calm. He knew that there was an annihilation function on the Golden Ray Armor. Therefore, exterminating a civilization that was hundreds and thousands of dimensions was easy. Thus, he was not surprised.

The two Curved Horn Tribe members continued. "The fourth-grade is terrifying. That's the legendary Emperor Lord. In the endless dimensions, the existence of Emperor Lords are extremely rare. Even our Great Light Honorable Lord has never seen a great Emperor Lord before. However, it's rumored that the space transformed by the natural order in a fourth-grade Emperor Lord 's body has already formed a small natural order origin and is echoing with the origin of the natural order in the entire Void Zone. It has endless power. In a sense, the Emperor Lord represents the power of the natural order in the Void Zone!"

"As for the thirty-six emperors, they're already legendary existences. They're the highest existences among Emperor Lords. Perhaps there are some differences in breeding the origin of the natural order. We're not very clear on the specifics. After all, we've never seen a great Emperor Lord, much less the oldest Thirty-six Emperors!"

The two Curved Horn Tribe members spoke about everything they knew and answered everything they could answer with a very respectful attitude.

Merlin also knew that they were shocked by the Golden Ray Armor on his body. After all, this was the strongest power of the Vestigial Tribe and was rumored to rival the thirty-six emperors. How could they not be shocked?

Still, Merlin had a deep understanding of the differentiation between ultimate existences and was very clear that he could only master a small part of the Golden Ray Armor's power. The control program the Vestigial Tribe left behind could not replace the role of Golden Ray Warriors, so he could not make use of the most powerful force.

"Where is your Great Light Region?" Merlin suddenly asked.

"This is the dimension map of our Great Light Region. In fact, our Great Light Region is famous throughout the Void Zone. As long as you leave this remote territory, you'll learn about our Great Light Region just by asking some questions."

The two Curved Horn Tribe members spoke casually but Merlin knew that it was impossible; it was too far. Just by relying on an ultimate existence's power of the natural order to travel, it would take tens of thousands of years to leave this territory, let alone the faraway Great Light Region.

They would be able to cross the Void Zone's boundless distance only with the Aurora Warship or other speed-type treasures similar to it.

Merlin took the dimension map and gave it a quick glance before keeping it in his dimension ring.

"Well, it's time to deal with you two. I'm very satisfied with what you did, so I'll give you a chance to sign a slave contract!"

"What? A slave contract?"

The two Curved Horn Tribe members' faces changed greatly. They were mighty first-grade ultimate existences and part of the Seventy-two Light Envoys of the Great Light Region.

"Why? Are you unwilling?"

Merlin's body glistened with golden light. In fact, he planned to kill the two men at first but they knew many things and were also very powerful. It would be a great benefit if they could stay.

After a long time, the two Curved Horn Tribe members shook their heads, smiled wryly and said, "We've already signed a slave contract with the Great Light Honorable Lord. Therefore, we can't sign a slave contract with anyone else."

Merlin frowned. He knew that slave contracts could only be signed one at a time. It was impossible to sign two at once.

"Then die!"

Merlin's body glowed gold and his eyes were full of coldness. He did not have any pity for them. Letting them go would surely attract people from the Great Light Region.

Killing these two people would at most attract the attention of the Great Light Honorable Lord. However, it would take some time for him to find the Spell Caster civilization and that amount of time would be enough for Merlin to make arrangements.

Besides, Merlin was not afraid of the Great Light Honorable Lord!

"No, if you kill us, the Honorable Lord will destroy your entire civilization…"

"Bang bang."

Merlin's gravitational field immediately shackled them as the power of the Golden Ray Armor broke out. It directly disintegrated the power of the natural order and instantaneously killed the two Curved Horn Tribe members.

Chapter 860: Unsealing the Glorious Land I

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Dead?"

Augustus and the others were shocked. Merlin murdered the insufferably arrogant people who had pressured Augustus, Ceci and the other ultimate existences.

However, they revealed a lot of information that was even more shocking.

"Glory Lord, now that these two are dead, the Great Light Honorable Lord they mentioned… I'm afraid…"

Augustus's tone was full of concern. In the past, they thought that ultimate existences were all about the same and there would not be a large difference in their strengths, but now Merlin's Golden Ray Armor killed eight Lord Gods of the God Alliance and even completely suppressed these two Curved Horn Tribe members.

It was at that moment that those ultimate existences knew that they were the weakest among ultimate existences and only belonged to the first grade. That Great Light Honorable Lord was truly powerful.

"It is troublesome, but even if the Great Light Honorable Lord investigates, it'll take some time to reach the Spell Caster civilization. It'll take at most one thousand years and at least one hundred years before he will arrive. Moreover, he won't leave the Great Light Region easily because he controls that territory. That's why even if he knows that two Light Envoys have died, he'll only send people to come investigate. We still have a lot of time to prepare."

Merlin knew that reconciliation with the Great Light Honorable Lord was impossible because Merlin possessed a Vestigial Tribe confinement dimension, which was what the Great Light Honorable Lord was determined to obtain. It was only a matter of time until conflict occurred.

"Another war is going to start…"

Augustus helplessly shook his head and the myriad of ultimate existences around him sighed with sorrow. They had just destroyed the Atlan civilization but now they had a conflict with the comparatively powerful Great Light Honorable Lord.

The Spell Caster civilization seemed to be cast out of the frying pan and into the fire.

"Don't worry, I have a plan. As long as it's not the Great Light Honorable Lord, it doesn't matter how many contenders they send."

Merlin was very confident. Even if his Golden Ray Armor could not be used to its full potential, it would not be inferior to the strength of a third-grade. Therefore, Merlin was not afraid of anyone except the Great Light Honorable Lord.

"Let's go check on Flarite."

Merlin felt sorry for Flarite. After all, he was too late. The two foreign tribe members had already robbed the origin of the natural order and 'angered' it. As a result, Flarite was also implicated and did not obtain the acknowledgment of the origin of the natural order. Flarite's final step had ended in failure.

"It failed."

Flarite's expression was very calm. He looked at Merlin and said slowly, "I've actually already made preparations. Glory Lord, Wizard Augustus, Wizard Ceci, I bid you farewell."

"Farewell?"

Augustus and the others were shocked. Even if Flarite did not succeed in the final step and it was impossible to become an ultimate existence in the future, he was still comparable to a Lord with five ultimate Maxims. He was the strongest being below an ultimate existence. With him in the Spell Caster civilization, the strength of the civilization would also be enhanced.

"Yes, the three of us were sent by the Flare Emperor to guard the prison. We met the Glory Lord and escaped the prison, only to find that things have changed. Sir Flare Emperor had disappeared and our most important mission was to revive the Flare Tribe. We've not met anyone who meets the Flare Tribe's requirements in the Spell Caster civilization, so we were going to leave regardless of whether I succeeded or not," Flarite said regretfully. Behind him, Flaroah and Flarmun nodded. It was clear that the three had already discussed this.

Merlin looked at Flarite and said guiltily, "If I had detected those two earlier, maybe they wouldn't have interfered with you merging with the natural order."

"Glory Lord, this has little to do with those two people. Before this, I had already felt that I would not gain the approval of the origin of the natural order and would most likely fail."

Flarite was very casual and had no regrets.

"Since you three want to leave, then we won't force you to stay. However, the Spell Caster civilization will always welcome you three!"

Merlin hesitated before taking out an Aurora warship from his Spatial Ring. He had seized two Aurora warships from the two foreign tribe members earlier.

"This Aurora warship is for you. The Void Zone is incomparably vast. Without the Aurora warship, it'll be very difficult for you to leave this territory, let alone roam the Void Zone."

Looking at the Aurora warship, Flarite's expression revealed a trace of emotion. The Aurora warship was incredibly valuable. The Vestigial Tribe had relied on the Aurora warship to be able to sweep the Void Zone. Merlin only had two Aurora warships, but he was giving one to them.

"Wizard Merlin, this Aurora warship is too valuable…"

Merlin waved his hand. "It's fine, I still have one warship. Besides, before long, the Great Light Honorable Lord will be sending me more Aurora warships as well."

Merlin grinned, referring to the people of the Great Light Region.

"Alright, then I'll accept this Aurora warship."

Flarite did not refuse again. The three of them did need an Aurora warship to roam the Void Zone. Having the Aurora warship would benefit them even if they did or did not encounter danger along the way.

Flarite and the others then directly entered the Aurora warship. It turned into a streak of light and left the Spell Caster civilization.

The other people also left in a hurry. They all knew that another storm was brewing in the Spell Caster civilization in the near future.

Wizard Augustus and Wizard Ceci hesitated.

Merlin knew what they wanted to say. The people of Great Light Region would arrive at the Spell Caster civilization at any moment and they were a force many times stronger than the Atlan civilization.

However, Merlin did not continue to explain. He looked at the depths of the Spell Caster civilization and said, "The Atlan civilization has collapsed and so has the God Alliance. Our Spell Caster civilization is now at its strongest. The Glorious Land no longer needs to be sealed."

"The Glorious Land?"

The two Ultimate Arcane Wizards were slightly stunned. If Merlin had not mentioned it, they would not have remembered the Glorious Land at all. After all, although the Glorious Land was where the Spell Caster civilization originated from, it was more symbolic than anything else.

Now, the Spell Caster civilization was under Merlin's command and had become extremely strong. More and more Legends, as well as Honored Legends and Great Lords were emerging. Therefore, it was no longer necessary to seal the Glorious Land.

Thinking about this, Augustus nodded and said, "The Glorious Land should indeed be unsealed. Back then, the Atlan Dimension was accidentally opened and that inattentiveness inflicted serious damage on the Glorious Land. The Lord God of Light was also waiting for an opportunity to poke his nose into it, so there was no choice but to seal the Glorious Land in order to preserve our Spell Caster civilization's place of origin. Now that our Spell Caster civilization is extremely strong and there's no threat around us, the Glorious Land should see the light of day again!"

Wizard Augustus and Wizard Ceci sealed the Glorious Land in the beginning in order to preserve it. However, it also led to the Glorious Land being completely sealed and isolated from the Void Zone. Therefore, it had fallen behind more and more. Even though there were no ultimate existences then, the Spell Casters in the Glorious Land had considered it to be the Spell Caster civilization's golden age.

However, the Spell Caster civilization's golden age actually started after stepping into the Void Zone.

"Glory Lord, do you need our help? The Glorious Land was sealed by us and no other ultimate existence except us can find it."

Augustus was very confident about the concealment of the Glorious Land.

"It's fine. I can sense the Glorious Land's location!"

Merlin laughed. A regular ultimate existence would not be able to sense the location of the Glorious Land. Even with Merlin's large Mind Power, it was impossible that he would be able to find the Glorious Land.

However, Merlin had some special connections with the Glorious Land. For example, when Aruba gave Merlin the Soul Medallion, Merlin was able to sense the Soul Medallion no matter where he was. Although the connection was very subtle, he could still sense it. This made Merlin gasp in admiration of Aruba, who earned the title of a traveler in the Latitude Cosmos. His methods really were marvelous.

Therefore, by following the subtle connection with the Soul Medallion, Merlin could naturally sense the location of the Glorious Land and fly there directly.In the boundless Void Zone, there was a huge ball of light that seemed to be shining all the time. However, it did not make people feel hot. On the contrary, as soon as they approached, their minds would feel incomparably at peace.

This was the core dimension of the Great Light Region, the Great Light Dimension! Countless dimensions surrounded the Great Light Dimension, just like how stars surrounded the moon.

"Hoo…"

A gust of wind blew and a mass of pitch-black water swept through the Void Zone from the distance. In that gust of wind was a slim but icy cold woman.

"Guardian Hayrin, did you also rush to the Great Light Dimension after receiving the news from the Honorable Lord?"

The wind howled. A burly man wearing spiked armor flew over and asked loudly after seeing the woman in the storm.

"That's right, Guardian Sirin. You also received news from the Honorable Lord?"

"Haha, it's not just us. Look behind. Guardian Laerin is here too."

Following Guardian Sirin's words, a flash of electricity flickered and bursts of crackling sounds were heard. From the lightning, a strange creature with a short stature and a lightning bolt imprint on his head appeared. He was the Guardian Laerin that Guardian Sirin mentioned.

In the endless Void Zone, various living beings were born. Some of them were extremely special. For example, Guardian Laerin was born from thunder and possessed great potential since his birth. From then on, he advanced step by step to become an ultimate existence and reached the second-grade after joining Great Light Region. He then became one of the famous eighteen Guardians of Great Light Region, the Guardian Laerin.

"Hayrin, Sirin, let's go. Something major must have happened for the Honorable Lord to summon all three of us this time."

Laerin and the other two grew solemn. The Great Light Honorable Lord rarely summoned more than two Guardians. If more than two Guardians were summoned, it meant that something very important had happened.

Chapter 861: Unsealing the Glorious Land II

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the Great Light Dimension, in a magnificent palace hall stood Laerin, wrapped in electrical snakes, Hayrin, wrapped in turbulent storms, and Sirin, whose burly body stood like an iron wall.

These three were well-known in Great Light Region and were three of the eighteen Guardians. At this time, they were extremely respectful and stood quietly in the hall, looking at a figure at the head of the hall.

This figure also did not give off any signs of the power of the natural order, but there was a constant and powerful force of oppression, making the three strong ultimate existences tremble in their hearts.

In Great Light Region, there was only one person who could make the three Great Light Guardians tremble and that was the Great Light Honorable Lord!

The Great Light Honorable Lord slowly raised his head and glanced at Laerin and the others before he slowly said, "The reason why I summoned you here today is to send you to a remote territory."

"Please give us your orders!"

Laerin stepped forward. His strength seemed to be the strongest among the three, which the other two had tacitly admitted.

"A few days ago, I felt two of the Seventy-two Envoys disappear and even their contracts were dissolved. Therefore, they must have come across an unstoppable danger and died. I've already ordered an investigation, but I only know from their report that they went to a remote area to find the Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimensions. You will investigate the reason and kill the people who killed them. If the other party still has a civilization, then just destroy it along the way!"

The Great Light Honorable Lord seemed incredibly casual even when talking about the annihilation of a civilization as if it was no big deal at all. The extermination of a civilization was only a passing thought for him. This was the Great Light Honorable Lord!

Laerin and the others exchanged glances. They naturally knew what the Great Light Honorable Lord meant when he said the contract disappeared. The Seventy-two Light Envoys and the Eighteen Light Guardians were different. Their status was as different as heaven and earth.

That was because the Seventy-two Light Envoys had to sign a contract with the Great Light Honorable Lord. Their lives were in the hands of the Great Light Honorable Lord. However, the Eighteen Light Guardians had reached the second-grade and already stored large amounts of the natural order's power in their bodies, so the power of a contract could no longer bind them.

The power of a contract could only bind first-grade ultimate existences. Therefore, the disappearance of the contract meant that the two Light Envoys were dead.

The death of two Light Envoys was considered a big event in Great Light Region. Furthermore, the two Light Envoys were searching for the Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimensions for the Great Light Honorable Lord. There were major implications involved, so it was no wonder that the Great Light Honorable Lord would summon three Light Guardians at once.

At this thought, Laerin and the others nodded and said, "Don't worry, Honorable Lord. We'll find out what happened."

"I'll give you three Aurora warships. Go."

The Great Light Honorable Lord took out three Aurora warships. Not even Great Light Guardians, second-grade ultimate existences, possessed this kind of long-distance Vestigial Tribe warship.

In general, Vestigial Tribe warships were extremely rare, much less incredibly fast warships that could travel infinite distances. The Great Light Honorable Lord had only discovered two Vestigial Tribe confinement dimensions by chance and obtained many warships inside, including Aurora warships.

Therefore, Great Light Region had become extremely terrifying. No matter how far, if Great Light Region was provoked, they would face annihilation.

"Honorable Lord, we'll go investigate immediately!"

After the three received the dimension map given by the Great Light Honorable Lord, they swiftly left Great Light Region and drove the Aurora warship towards the coordinates on the dimension map.In an empty region in the Spell Caster civilization, a golden light suddenly flashed by. Merlin stepped out of the golden light and looked around.

The area appeared very empty. In fact, although there were many dimensions in the Spell Caster civilization, there were also many empty places, and the dimensions were not distributed evenly.

"It's here. The Three Great Arcane Wizards' seal was really applied carefully!"

Merlin looked around before fixing on a direction. There, he could sense the Soul Medallion growing more intense, indicating that the Glorious Land was right there.

"Open!"

Merlin knew that this was the place where the Three Great Arcane Wizards used the power of the natural order to hide the Glorious Land. However, now that he had the Golden Ray Armor, what did he care about the power of the natural order?

Thus, Merlin used the power of the Golden Ray Armor. Immediately, a huge force brewed.

"Whoosh."

From the void, circles of ripples like on water appeared and spread rapidly. A large and familiar dimension appeared before Merlin's eyes.

"The Glorious Land!"

Merlin stared closely at the Glorious Land. This was the place where he left. Much of his time had been spent in the Glorious Land.

"It's time to break the seal and reintegrate the Glorious Land back into the Spell Caster civilization…"

Merlin knew that the Glorious Land had been sealed for more than three thousand years and was almost completely isolated from the Void Zone. Only when a Legend was born would one be able to leave the Glorious Land.

However, how many talented Spell Casters could there be in the sealed Glorious Land? It was incredibly rare. Merlin would not have come to the Void Zone and achieved what he had today if not for the Runic Magic Circle left behind by Great Wizard Fidel from Dark Magic Region.

Still, the Spell Caster civilization was powerful once again and the surrounding threats were all gone, so the Glorious Land no longer had to be sealed.

Merlin took a deep breath. It seemed that only a few Great Wizards could sense the Glorious Land's seal. However, they did not know much about it and thought that only Legends could leave the Glorious Land.

In reality, in an ordinary dimension, a Great Wizard would be able to leave the dimension. In the future, if there was contact with the Void Zone and communication gradually took place, the Glorious Land would also slowly recover to the glorious era more than three thousand years ago.

Merlin's Golden Ray Armor began to radiate the power of disintegrating the natural order. The Three Great Arcane Wizards poured a lot of their efforts into the Glorious Land and the seal was also extremely strong. Fortunately, Merlin had the Golden Ray Armor that could break down the power of the natural order. Otherwise, it would be hard to forcefully break the seal on the Glorious Land.

"Bang."

Finally, following Merlin's unceasing efforts to break down the power of the natural order on the Glorious Land, the entire Glorious Land shook slightly. Then, the power of the natural order completely collapsed and the seal disappeared.

The disappearance of the seal did not seem to cause a strong effect on the Glorious Land. After all, it would be hard for a mere Great Wizard to discover the seal on the Glorious Land besides Great Legends.

Looking at the familiar Glorious Land, Merlin also revealed a complex expression. It would be hard for the Glorious Land that had just been unsealed to regain the brilliance from more than three thousand years ago.

"The last time, I left behind some complete inheritances of the Spell Caster civilization in the Void Zone. A few hundred years have passed since then. I wonder what changes have taken place in the Glorious Land."

A part of Merlin found it difficult to part with the Glorious Land because the descendants of his bloodline were here as well as people he was once close to.

Merlin pondered. Since he came to the Glorious Land, Merlin did not leave immediately. Instead, he turned into a streak of golden light and directly flew into the Glorious Land.

As soon as he flew into the Glorious Land, Merlin had a feeling of control. In reality, when Merlin came to the Glorious Land before to deal with the threat from the Church of Light, he already refined the Dimension Origin and became the master of the Glorious Land.

"Soul Medallion!"

Merlin felt the changes over the years in the Glorious Land but before he could investigate them carefully, he felt the Soul Medallion. This was an incomparably mysterious treasure left behind by Aruba and could be resurrected thrice.

The Merlin in the past knew nothing about the Soul Medallion and felt like it was a power that he could not understand. However, now he had perfected the Mind Power System and succeeded his Illusory World, as well as controlled the Atlan Dimension and obtained the Golden Ray Armor. He even saw the origin of the natural order.

Therefore, Merlin was even more curious about the Soul Medallion. Perhaps there was a clue there on how Aruba broke the natural order and transcended the Latitude Cosmos.

"Swoosh."

Without any hesitation, Merlin ripped open space and flew to the secret place where he placed the Soul Medallion.In the Kingdom of Blackmoon, a small mountain range was covered by thick fog all year round. Only a few people ever entered this mountain range and even Spell Casters avoided it because there were no precious resources.

As a result, this mountain range became even more desolate, and the number of wild beasts increased.

"Hum hum."

Suddenly, spatial ripples appeared over the mountain range, and a black-robed figure suddenly appeared above the mountains.

The black-robed man glanced down at the mountains below. Although the thick fog covered him, his face revealed a hint of happiness.

"Yes, it's here!"

This figure tearing up the space to shuttle around was Merlin. He remembered clearly that he moved the secret place inside an ordinary mountain range. He relied on his sensing to arrive there, and sure enough, he sensed it especially clearly at that point.

"Open!"

The Flame Maxim flickered in Merlin's hands and directly split the peaceful mountain range open like two giant hands.

"Rumble."

The entire mountain range began to shake as an earthquake occurred. The ground cracked, and countless wild beasts in the mountains ran wildly with terrifying growls.

Fortunately, there were no people here, so no one would notice even if there was so much noise. It was also why Merlin chose to move the secret place to this small mountain range.

The mountain was directly torn by Merlin and revealed a deep crack. Merlin's Mind Power then entered the crack and extended towards the ground.

"Found it!"

Soon, Merlin's Mind Power sensed the secret place he hid. It was indeed hidden under this mountain range. Merlin then directly jumped down into the crack.

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The crack was deep, but it was nothing to the great Glory Lord, it was even harmless.

"Who's there?"

A scoff and then quickly a giant hand blasted towards Merlin.

"Bam."

With a casual sweep using his Flame Maxim, the giant hand instantly disintegrated but he saw who the attacker was. It was the sphinx statue that he had left behind to guard the Soul Medallion.

The sphinx statue had not changed much and quickly picked up on Merlin's life force as it exclaimed in surprise, "Master, you've returned?"

"That's right, I'm back!"

Merlin smiled. Even if the sphinx statue stayed here for over thousands of years, it would still remain unchanged, leaving it here to guard the Soul Medallion was the perfect decision.

"The Soul Medallion?"

Merlin's main objective was still the Soul Medallion.

"The Soul Medallion is safe and secure, Master. You've been away for so long, but no one has been here since."

The sphinx statue brought Merlin inside the secret chamber where the Soul Medallion was kept and took it out.

Merlin grasped the piece of Soul Medallion in his palm and suddenly a special feeling stirred in his heart. In the past, Merlin was not able to understand this piece of Soul Medallion, but his vision changed now that his powers had grown, his Mind Power was unparalleled and he had the Golden Ray Armor in his possession.

However, looking at the Soul Medallion now, he still found himself at a loss as if it was a layer of fog that was unpredictable and mystifying.

"The Soul Medallion was given by Aruba. Even if I die, I still have three chances of resurrection. The last time I was killed by the Light God, I was brought back to life. That means there are only two remaining chances left."

Merlin also recalled that he had, in actuality, "died" once before. He was murdered by the Lord God of Light the minute he had left the Glorious Land and he used the Soul Medallion to resurrect himself.

Although Merlin still held lingering feelings after that resurrection, he still could not understand the mystery that was hidden inside the Soul Medallion.

"Let me see, exactly what secrets does the Soul Medallion hold?"

Merlin grabbed the Soul Medallion and the Illusory World enraptured the Soul Medallion. Suddenly, a surge of Mind Power inspected and carefully analyzed every part of the Soul Medallion.

Slowly, Merlin discovered something peculiar. There was a mysterious power within the Soul Medallion. A force of power that Merlin was unable to notice before but could finally begin to sense now and it was hidden deep within the Soul Medallion.

When Merlin tried to reach out to the power using his Mind Powers, he was blocked from doing so by said mysterious power; just the life force alone that had leaked out had posed inexplicable intimidation to Merlin's Mind Power.

"It's not the power of the natural order, but something that's no less powerful than it!"

After a long while, Merlin suddenly opened his eyes. He had gotten a glimpse of the Soul Medallion's secret and that was something that had surpassed even the means of the ultimate existences, it should be that the mysterious power left behind by Aruba was a power that transcended the powers of the natural order.

It was also because of this reason that the Soul Medallion had been used to hide this power, it was not that there was anything special about it, but that the true mystery lied in the mysterious power hidden within the Soul Medallion.

It was precisely due to that mysterious power that Merlin had been able to be resurrected.

It was obvious that the Void Zone would not permit such a power to appear and without the restraints of the Soul Medallion, this power alone would have been capable of triggering another origin of the natural order and all the powers and forces in the Void Zone would unite to suppress this mysterious power.

"This means that this power of Aruba's is similar to my Illusory World and it's on par with the Void Zone, however, this power of the Soul Medallion is clearly superior to my Illusory World!"

Merlin gradually realized that this was indeed a tremendous gift. The things left behind by Aruba actually included his own powers, this was a power that was a level above the power of the natural order of the entire Void Zone.

However, this power seemed to have little use to Merlin, but should he someday truly turn the Illusory World into reality, then it may actually be of use.

Thus, Merlin returned the Soul Medallion to its place. The Soul Medallion was indeed fascinating and it was one of Merlin's self-preservation tactics, except, with Merlin's current powers, who else but those as powerful as the Thirty-six Emperors could pose a threat to him?

Moreover, this Soul Medallion resurrection was not all-powerful either. For instance, it was hard to tell if his Illusory World could be restored should Merlin be deceased, seeing as the current Illusory World has completely consolidated with Merlin as one and this mysterious power that was capable of turning a possibility into reality, Merlin was not sure if the

Soul Medallion would be able to restore the Illusory World either.

There was also the Golden Ray Armor. If he died and was resurrected again, the Golden Ray Armor would be gone for sure. Therefore, the cost for Merlin to die now was too great for him to bear.

"Master, you are taking your leave?"

The sphinx statue asked in a small voice after seeing that Merlin had returned the Soul

Medallion to its original place.

Merlin nodded and said, "Guard this Soul Medallion well. Perhaps a long time later, no one will be able to threaten me and when that time comes, I will set you free and you will be able to go anywhere you please."

The sphinx statue also had a life and it was turned into one by Aruba using the powers that never existed in the Void Zone. In theory, the sphinx statue also possessed a life that could reverse natural order and its potential was by no means less than the black cat, Didimoss.

However, Merlin needed someone to guard the Soul Medallion and so the sphinx statue had to stay, but one day, when Merlin was free of threats and dangers, or when the Illusory World had been realized and the Soul Medallion had lost its purpose and Merlin no longer needed to rely on the Soul Medallion to be resurrected, then he would be able to free the sphinx statue.

"Master, I will do my best to protect the Soul Medallion!"

Merlin nodded and left the hidden place underground and reappeared once again over the mountains. Using the power of the Flame Maxim, he mended the crack between the mountains below and it was as if the crack was never there.

"It's been a few hundred years; I wonder how much the Glorious Lands have progressed?"

Merlin slowly closed his eyes. As the master of the dimension of the Glorious Lands, he was able to sense everything that was happening within.

After a while, Merlin suddenly opened his eyes and a shred of shock flooded his expression.

"Now this is interesting, that old friend of mine sure is something as well…"

A seemingly faint smile formed between Merlin's lips as he tore through the subspace and swiftly entered within, disappearing in an instant.Blackwater City, around the Wilson Castle, surrounded by high Wizard towers; it was a well-known fact to everyone in the city that is was the almighty wizard of the Wilson clan.

The Blackwater City had expanded tremendously and the Wilson Castle stood with prestige, the city among cities, as the inner and outer castle painted an entirely different scene altogether.

Now, the Wilson clan was more prosperous than ever. As a Spell Caster clan and with the head of house being the Duke of the kingdom, several major cities around the Blackwater City were all territories of the Wilson clan.

The Wilson clan today may even be as powerful as some Spell Caster organizations, except without a Great Wizard.

However, at that moment, a chilling atmosphere encased the vicinity of Wilson Castle. From time to time, mysterious Spell Casters could be seen observing the movements inside the Wilson Castle from a distance away.

"Wizard Sith, we've been spying on the Wilson clan for months now, us seventh-level Spell Casters are not spies. We've already the information that there's a runaway from one of the Seven Major Spell Caster organizations, Fog City hidden within the Wilson Castle, this is a fact, but why hasn't there been any actions? Could this Wilson clan actually stand against a conquered nation?"

The two seventh-level wizards looked resentfully at the Wilson Castle in the distance. They had been spying here for several months and had already discovered that the Wilson clan had been harboring a Fog City Spell Caster. Had it been any other clan or Spell Caster organization, the royal family would have long seized them by now.

Still, the royal family had yet to issue an order.

"What's so terrifying about the Wilson clan? His Great Majesty has uprooted even the Seven Major Spell Caster organizations and had banned most of Spell Caster organizations. Now, the royal family was at its most powerful, much like the former Molta Empire and the Wilson clan has none of this, so what are they afraid of?"

"There's the Dark Magic Region as well, even though it's also comparable to the major Spell Caster organizations. Yet they have only one Great Wizard and the other more powerful Spell Caster organizations have also fallen, so why leave the Dark Magic Region alone?"

The wizard named Sith was somewhat helpless against his companion's grievances as he was not sure how to explain it to them. In fact, he himself was also puzzled, what secrets did the Wilson clan hold that even the royal family was intimidated by, so much so they did not dare to take action?

One should know that the royal family was most powerful and capable. They had sixteen Great Wizards alone, destroyed the Seven Major Spell Caster organizations and even the southern Spell Caster organizations had long been devastated by the forces of the conquered nations.

However, only the Dark Magic Region was left.

Moreover, they had also learned that the relationship between the Dark Magic Region and the Wilson clan was unusual as well. Over these few months, they had observed countless Dark Magic Region wizards frequently enter the Wilson Castle.

"Just by the surname, Wilson!"

Suddenly an inscrutable voice sounded and the two hurriedly glanced over their shoulders, only to see a thin-figured wizard that was enveloped in the fluctuations of powerful Elements.

"Great Wizard Anlin, what brings you here?"

Upon noticing the Spell Caster, the two immediately bowed; this was the famous Great Wizard Anlin of the royal family!

The gaze of the Great Wizard Anlin fell upon the old castle in the distance as he let out a long sigh, "The reason His Majesty has not permitted you two to act is because of the good surname of the Wilson clan. With this surname, no matter how great a fault the Wilson clan has committed, His Majesty will not lay a finger on them."

"Surname?"

The two seventh-level wizards looked to each other and wondered what was it about a surname that even the almighty Majesty was so wary of?

The Great Wizard Anlin offered no further explanations. Instead, he flew directly towards Wilson Castle along with the two seventh-level wizards with a sapphire crested magic staff in his hand.The atmosphere was somber and heavy in the living room of Wilson Castle.

Five to six people were seated in the spacious living room, and seated above them was a dignified man clad in aristocratic attire, although his body appeared to be emitting a fluctuating elemental force and a rather powerful one at that; no less than a Seventh-level Spell Caster!

Seated beneath them were Spell Casters dressed in all sorts of attires. A black-robed wizard among them said with a long face, "Your Grace, the Seven Major Spell Caster organizations from the South have fallen apart, and the Spell Caster world in the North has long been controlled by the royal family. The greed of the Kingdom of Blackmoon's king was far too rapacious. We're the only ones left in the Dark Magic Region and the king appears to be highly heedful of that, even though he has not acted yet, this is no way to go in the long run. Who knows when even we, the Dark Magic Region will be forced to disband and the Spell Casters be assimilated into the royal family's team of wizards?"

This black-robed wizard was one of the Dark Magic Region's elders, as a Ninth-level Spell Caster, he was undoubtedly powerful but even he was now filled with worry; the situation of the whole Spell Caster world had changed completely, even the Seven Major Spell Caster organizations have crumbled apart, let alone the Dark Magic Region?

The only reason the Dark Magic Region had not been seized by the royal family was most likely to do with the reason for their ties to the Wilson clan.

Nevertheless, whether it be the Wilson clan or the Dark Magic Region, both of which, had been closely connected to the Great Wizard in the past. As such, the royal family had not touched them.

The noble seated on the top was Duke Wilson of the current generation. The Dukedom of the Wilson clan was hereditary, but of course, with the current status being as it was, the Wilson clan cared little for the title.

However, this placed the position of the Wilson clan within the Kingdom of Blackmoon, especially in the eyes of Bhutto XVII, the king who had reigned for hundreds of years. The very one who had disbanded the elders of the royal family and held the utmost power with an iron fist; whose powers had reached the highest realm of Great Wizards, to be in a very special place.

However, given the current situation, there were far and few forces that could stand against the royal family.

"Wizard Havens, outside of our Wilson Castle stands the wizards sent by the royal family; they have been keeping a close watch over us."

Duke Wilson appeared somewhat helpless but he was not worried that the Wilson clan would perish. In fact, the ambitious Bhutto XVII merely intended to unify the world of the Spell Casters, as long as the Wilson clan was willing to comply with the rules set by the royal family, then the Wilson clan would continue to flourish. However, the same could not be said for the Dark Magic Region. Regardless of how wary Bhutto XVII was towards them, he was bound to act upon them as he would not allow any Spell Caster organizations to exist.

The only way for the Dark Magic Region to be spared from the fate of disbandment was to submit, lest they wish to meet the same fate as the Great Wizards of the other Seven Major Spell Caster organizations, of whom had all met their ends. By that time, they would truly be done for.

"By the way Your Grace, I heard that Wizard Angie from the Fog City has escaped to the castle. Would this bring about trouble for the Wilson clan?"

Duke Wilson was well aware of the intentions behind Wizard Havens's caution. Angie was a runaway from the Fog City and a Seventh-level Wizard with great potential; the royal family would never let her go. The Wilson clan's action in taking Angie was in fact, going against Bhutto XVII and against the currently ever-powerful Kingdom of Blackmoon.

"Wizard Havens, it is true that we have taken in this Angie but that is not my intention. She is the fiancé of the Wilson clan's next-in-line. I was the one who had made the arrangements when I visited Fog City; there is no way I would send her away now."

Although Duke Wilson's expression remained somewhat helpless, his tone was firm and determined.

"The next-in-line?"

Wizard Havens was momentarily taken aback. He only knew that Angie was betrothed to Duke Wilson's son but the Duke had many sons and there was only one title.

"Yes, very soon, I shall pass on my title to Conlin. I hope that when that time comes, His Majesty, Bhutto XVII will take into consideration the Dukedom of the Wilson clan and spare her!"

Havens turned pensive. Conlin was the one betrothed to Angie and he was one of Duke Wilson's most excelled sons. Perhaps to other Dukes, to use a Dukedom to protect someone that Bhutto XVII intended to kill was delusionary and impossible.

However, Havens knew that the Dukedom of the Wilson clan had the power to make His Majesty reconsider.

"It's terrible, Your Grace, someone from the royal family has arrived!"

Suddenly, a guard rushed into the living room and reported.

"Who has the royal family sent?"

Duke Wilson and Wizard Havens exchanged glances as their expressions grew serious.

"Your Grace, there are three of them, and the leader addresses himself as Wizard Anlin!"

"Wizard Anlin? It's the Great Wizard Anlin! One of the most powerful Great Wizards of the royal family, it's him?"

Duke Wilson muttered. The power of the royal family soared and they had consecutively eliminated the Seven Major Spell Caster organizations. Therefore, rumors of the Great Wizard of the royal family had long spread throughout the Kingdom of Blackmoon, any Spell Caster that paid attention would know of the royal family's Great Wizard. Hence, when the Great Wizard Anlin was brought up, Duke Wilson could not help but worry. Bhutto XVII's intentions of sending the Great Wizard Anlin over this time was most likely not as simple as it seemed.

"Wizard Havens, please elude yourself for now. Wait until I've met the Great Wizard Anlin and see what he actually wants."

Wizard Havens nodded. The Dark Magic Region had always had close relations with Wilson Castle. It had been that way for hundreds of years; in fact, many of the Wilson clan members were Spell Casters of the Dark Magic Region. However, under such circumstances, it was still not viable for them to come into direct conflict. Then, Wizard Havens headed inside the castle. Duke Wilson waved a hand. "Invite the Great Wizard Anlin in!"

Very soon, the guards had invited in the three Spell Casters from outside the castle. The leading wizard, dressed in long white robes with a staff in hand was the Great Wizard Anlin.

"Duke Wilson!"

Great Wizard Anlin gave a slight nod to Duke Wilson. With his status as a Great Wizard, he need not even bow to the king, let alone a duke.

However, the Great Wizard Anlin passed straight through the living room and looked up at the portrait of a figure that was hung on the wall. The portrait was incredibly life-like, a figure dressed in black wizard robes, his appearance similar to Duke Wilson's. Although his eyes appeared deeper and livelier.

The Great Wizard Anlin approached the portrait and respectfully bowed. Then, he turned around and returned to the chair.

The two Seventh-level Spell Casters accompanying the Great Wizard Anlin were puzzled. They knew that the Great Wizard Anlin had never even greeted His Majesty with such a grand gesture, but now he was bowing to a portrait inside Wilson Castle and they simply could not understand.

However, a glimpse of surprise flickered through Duke Wilson's eyes as he asked in shock, "The Great Wizard Anlin knows the ancestor of the Wilson clan?"

Anlin shook his head. "How could I possibly know the great Wizard Merlin? Back then when Wizard Merlin assisted the Kingdom of Blackmoon in defeating the Church of Light and restored the Spell Caster world, I was only an entry-level apprentice. I have only seen the great Wizard Merlin from afar in Light City…"

The two Seventh-level Spell Casters in the back stood with a face of confusion. Still, they had never heard of any Wizard Merlin and it seemed like there was no one named Merlin amongst the powerful Great Wizards.

Moreover, this Wizard Merlin was actually the predecessor of the Wilson clan; how could a powerful wizard have come from a mere Spell Caster clan back then?

Naturally, Duke Wilson could tell from the looks of the two Seventh-level Spell Casters behind the Great Wizard Anlin, but he did not offer any further explanations. Nowadays, few knew about the Wilson clan's predecessor, Merlin.

Only the powerful wizards such as Wizard Anlin or the ancient wizards knew of how powerful Wizard Merlin was and knew of the extent of his contribution to the Kingdom of Blackmoon, and even the entire Spell Caster world.

This was the true reason why Bhutto XVII had always held the Wilson clan with such high regard but now, there was nothing but a portrait left behind of the great ancestor of the Wilson clan.

"Great Wizard Anlin, for what purpose have you come to Wilson Castle?"

In the face of a Great Wizard, Duke Wilson remained calm.

The Great Wizard Anlin smiled lightly as he spoke in a calm voice, "In fact, I had come down on behalf of His Majesty. I believe that Your Grace is aware that the Seven Major Spell Caster organizations of the South have been eliminated. However, among them, the Fog City has refused to surrender to His Majesty. As such, His Majesty ordered not to let any of the Spell Casters from the Fog City go. It just happened so that one of them had fled into Wilson Castle and His Majesty had specifically ordered me to bring back this Fog City wizard, Angie!"

"I knew it…"

Duke Wilson heaved a silent sigh, it had come in the end after all. Now, the Great Wizard Anlin stood before him and the royal family had plenty more powerful Spell Casters, but all the Wilson clan had left was but a former portrait of Merlin.

After a long while, Duke Wilson finally spoke in a low voice, "Great Wizard Alin, please inform His Majesty that I will concede my title to Conlin."

"To Conlin?"

Great Wizard Anlin abruptly threw his head up as his eyes narrowed into a piercing gaze.

"So, Your Grace is intent on protecting Angie?"

The Great Wizard Anlin's voice remained placid. Still, for some unknown reason, a prickly chill could be sensed in the living room…

"Whoosh."

The atmosphere in the living room was heavy, and the two Seventh-level Spell Casters that Wizard Anlin had brought along had even taken a step forward and said in a loud voice, "Duke Wilson, you should think it over again. His Majesty has given specific orders that Angie must be found. Hmph, a few days ago, both of us had seen Angie enter the Wilson Castle!"

"If you've seen her, then search the castle!"

Duke Wilson's voice turned sharp and cold. To date, no one had yet dared to search the Wilson Castle, and since he had already conceded his title to his son, his stance was clear. He trusted that His Majesty would take careful consideration.

"Then we'll do just so. Wizard Anlin, please be rest assured. We have seen Angie enter the castle with our very own eyes. We'll be able to find her…"

The Seventh-level Spell Caster had yet to finish his words when he was harshly reprimanded by the Great Wizard Anlin, "Silence! Is the Wilson Castle something you can search at will? Before we left, His Majesty, the king has already warned me that since Wizard Angie has formed a marriage contract with the Wilson clan, then His Majesty will not pursue any further of everything that she has done before in Fog City!"

"What? Not investigate further, this…"

The two Seventh-level Spell Casters were dumbfounded. In their view, the king had sent even the Great Wizard Anlin and was just about ready to lay a hand on the Wilson clan but seeing the Great Wizard Anlin's attitude now, it was completely different from their imaginations. Was there something that they should be wary of when it came to the Wilson clan? They had observed the Wilson Castle for a long time but they had never seen a single Great Wizard.

Moreover, so what if they had a Great Wizard? How could they possibly be a match for the royal family? As such, the two Wizards of the royal family found it difficult to understand. However, these were the words spoken by the Great Wizard Anlin, and they would not doubt it.

A glimmer of strange emotion flickered in Duke Wilson's gaze as he asked hesitantly, "His Majesty had truly said so?"

"Yes, Your Grace. His Majesty has regarded the Wilson clan highly for over the span of hundreds of years. Oh yes, His Majesty has even asked me to bring a message to the Duke; should Your Grace ever meet the great Wizard Merlin, please ask Wizard Merlin to come to the castle so that he and His Majesty could reminisce about the old days."

After finishing his words, the Great Wizard Anlin once again approached Wizard Merlin's portrait, and gave a respectful bow before turning around and leaving the Wilson Castle.

Peace returned to the living room as before long, Wizard Havens of the Dark Magic Region arrived in the living room. Upon seeing Duke Wilson's serious expression, he hurriedly asked, "Your Grace, what did the Great Wizard Anlin say?"

Duke Wilson slowly raised his head as he looked at the portrait that was hung in the living room and spoke calmly, "The Great Wizard Anlin had come on behalf of Bhutto XVII. The royal family will no longer pursue the matters of Angie, and he had even asked me to deliver a word to predecessor Wizard Merlin."

"Wizard Merlin? Duke Wilson, you're able to find Wizard Merlin?"

Havens's eyes widened as he appeared visibly on edge. As a Dark Magic Region Wizard who was closely related to the Wilson castle, Havens naturally knew just how powerful Wizard Merlin had been.

He was also highly aware that the current power and prosperity of the Kingdom of Blackmoon and the Spell Caster world had all been Merlin's doing single-handedly.

"If I could find my predecessor, I wouldn't be so worried now, would I? Perhaps, the predecessor has already…"

Duke Wilson appeared uncertain. After all, the predecessor of the Wilson clan, Wizard Merlin had not made an appearance for hundreds of years. Otherwise, how would His Majesty become so ambitious?

"No, back then, Wizard Merlin had reached unfathomable heights that we could have never imagined. He couldn't have possibly died."

Wizard Havens shook his head. He refused to believe that Merlin had died. After all, even Great Wizards lived a long life, let alone Merlin.

Perhaps Bhutto XVII had thought the same and deep inside, he had always feared Merlin. Therefore, even when he knew that the Wilson clan had taken in Angie and had close ties with the Dark Magic Region, he still refrained from laying a hand on the Wilson clan.

All of this was because of the powerful predecessor of the Wilson clan of hundreds of years ago!

"I would've never imagined that until today, the Wilson clan still had to rely on the protection of this portrait."

Duke Wilson stared at the portrait hung on the walls of the living room, an indescribable emotion surged inside of him. Now that the royal family had gained control of the bigger picture, he may have been able to protect Angie but the Dark Magic Region was unlikely to be as lucky.

Havens's face was pale. He knew that this time, once the Great Wizard Anlin had returned, there was a high chance that he would begin to act upon the Dark Magic Region. After all, there was only one such spell casters' organization left in the Spell Caster world.

Even though the tie between the Dark Magic Region and Merlin had been special once, it was still far from the relationship between him and the Wilson clan. Bhutto XVII may have been able to tolerate the Wilson clan but not the Dark Magic Region.

"If Wizard Merlin is still here, at least our Dark Magic Region will still be safe. However, Wizard Merlin has disappeared for hundreds of years, and no one knows where he's gone…"

Wizard Havens heaved a silent sigh. He knew that with the rise of the royal family, it would be difficult for the Dark Magic Region to escape their wrath. However, whenever he thought about the inheritance of a thousand years would end in their hands of their current generation of Dark Magic Region Wizards, he could not help but feel regretful.

"Not bad, looks like Bhutto XVII hasn't forgotten the promise he had made."

Suddenly, a strange voice sounded in the hall.

"Who's there?"

Suddenly, Wizard Havens pointed a finger, and almost instantly a wave of fluctuations appeared in the void as the Wind-type spell was cast. The entire hall sealed off.

"The structure of your Wind-type spell is well-built but the Spell Model isn't very stable. I'm afraid it'll be difficult for you to become a Great Wizard in the future."

The strange voice sounded again. Then, a black-robed figure suddenly appeared in the living room, seemingly unaffected by Wizard Havens's spell at all.

Wizard Havens was in shock. He was a Ninth-level Spell Caster. The Wind-type spell created by him was immensely powerful, and he had once immobilized three Wizards of the same level with it as its powers were second to none.

However, it was just as this strange Wizard had said. Although the power of his spell was strong, the Spell Model was unstable. It was almost impossible for him to integrate all the Spell Models into one hence becoming a Great Wizard was practically impossible. Once merged, the Spell Model would collapse in an instant.

This was also the main reason why Havens had yet to merge the Spell Model until now. He did not dare to merge it, and thus, he would not be able to become a Great Wizard.

"Who are you? How…"

Havens's words came to an abrupt end as he found that no matter how he struggled, he was unable to move his body, and neither could he speak.

Havens and Duke Wilson's heart dropped as their minds immediately went to the thought of a Great Wizard. Only a Great Wizard could render them powerless.

"You're a Great Wizard of the royal family?"

Duke Wilson's heart thumped, then, a light flashed in between his eyebrows as a dense Runic Magic Circle instantly enshrouded the strange black-robed Spell Caster. Such a powerful, multilayered Runic Magic Circle – a total of nine – was capable of instantly immobilizing a Ninth-level Spell Caster, and even confine a Great Wizard.

This was the true secret behind Duke Wilson. He was only a Seventh-level Spell Caster, and he rarely participated in combat, and he had hidden so well that even the other Spell Casters had not known that he was a Runic Magic Circle Wizard.

The ability to momentaneously cast a Runic Magic Circle to immobilize enemies was something only a Runic Magic Circle Wizard could do, and Duke Wilson's true talent was in fact, runes!

"The Runic Heartprint?"

The black-robed wizard's concentration wavered as he stared at the space in between Duke Wilson's brows where a ray of light glimmered. Others may not know of this but the black-robed wizard knew very well that it was the Runic Heartprint and it was capable of instantly casting mass Runic Magic Circles.

"The power of your Runic Magic Circle is impressive but this isn't enough to hold me."

The black-robed wizard pointed a finger, and a firelight flared as a domineering force filled the hall, so much so that Duke Wilson and Wizard Havens felt from the bottom of their hearts that they were unable to resist.

As for those Runic Magic Circles, they were naturally broken all at once.

The mysterious black-robed wizard took no further action as he looked at the pained Duke Wilson. The well-hidden Spell Caster was also now pale and blanched.

"You're from the Dark Magic Region, right?"

The black-robed wizard turned around, and looked at the Wizard Havens who had been confined by him.

Wizard Havens opened his mouth, and suddenly found his body light and lithe as he regained movement. He immediately took huge gasps of air. He never wanted a repeat of that feeling of being immobilized ever again.

"I'm Wizard Havens of the Dark Magic Region. Who exactly are you? There's no way that the royal family has a Great Wizard as powerful as you… Provided that Bhutto XVII hasn't hidden his forces."

Wizard Havens remained highly vigilant. He was not sure whether the royal family had any hidden powers. Nonetheless, this mysterious black-robed wizard had appeared the moment the Great Wizard Anlin had left. It was all too strange, and it did not seem like the royal family's doings.

However, apart from the royal family, Havens found it difficult to imagine any other forces that had such a powerful Spell Caster.

"The Dark Magic Region… It's finally returned to its former glory! Looks like the inheritances that I've left behind had made a huge difference to the Spell Caster world…"

The black-robed wizard appeared to be mumbling to himself.

"You're the current Duke Wilson? Seventh-level Spell Caster, not bad. However, you're better gifted in runes. Why is the Runic Heartprint with you? Where's Felinda?"

The black-robed wizard asked off-handedly as if he was a close, endeared elder.

"Felinda? How do you know Wizard Felinda? You even know the Runic Heartprint. The Runic Heartprint is something only known to the generations of Duke Wilsons and Wizard Felinda. No one else knows of it apart from them. You, who are you?"

Duke Wilson stared at the mysterious black-robed wizard with a look of disbelief. The Runic Heartprint was something only the Duke Wilsons' generations knew, and he had not even told any of his many children. There was no way an outsider could know about this.

"Who am I?"

The black-robed wizard smiled. He looked up at the portrait hanging from the hall, the edges of his lips curled into a glimpse of a smile. "My portrait's still hanging there, isn't it? It's painted really well…"

Duke Wilson and Wizard Havens immediately swerved their heads toward the portrait hanging in the living room, and looked back to the black-robed wizard before them – they were almost the same.

At that moment, they finally realized who this person before them was.

"Predecessor!"

Chapter 865: Returned to Its Rightful Owner!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In a spacious, lavish room in Wilson Castle, a slim man with a head of lustrous, long, golden hair was acting restless, pacing constantly.

The blonde man was about twenty-something of age. His face still carried a trace of tenderness but he also exuded vigorous fluctuations, only they were not very powerful, merely at the stage of a Fourth-level Wizard.

"Conlin, stop worrying. The royal family is influential. I'm happy that I could escape alive and hide in Wilson Castle for a few days. It's just that no one has ever hidden from Bhutto XVII successfully. I'll surrender myself. Bhutto XVII will only stop worrying, no longer using every possible means against the Wilson clan when he's cut things off at the root."

Suddenly, the female Wizard in bed, wearing a white long Wizard Robe, looking fresh and pure, stood up. She gently held the man's hand, appearing reluctant to part.

"Angie, don't worry. Although Bhutto XVII is influential, he's always regarded our Wilson clan highly. For the past few days, you've seen that many Spell Casters are monitoring us from outside. They know you're here but they still daren't enter. Father will resolve this matter. Moreover, a few days ago, he's already discussed with me. He's ready to pass on the Wilson clan's dukedom to me. In the future, you'll be a duchess. His Majesty will surely take the Wilson clan into account, and no longer pursue the matter of your being a Spell Caster of Fog City."

Conlin spoke to reassure but he was somewhat anxious. Although the Wilson clan was now flourishing splendidly, it was still lacking by far compared to the royal family. Under His Majesty the King's power, the Wilson clan was unable to resist.

"Master Conlin, bad news. Great Wizard Anlin of the royal family has personally visited Sir Duke!"

A guard's panicked voice came from outside.

"What? Great Wizard Anlin had come personally?"

Conlin's expression shifted greatly as he gripped Angie's hand even tighter, afraid that once he let go, he would never see Angie again.

Angie heaved a long sigh. She knew that Great Wizard Anlin had always been the Great Wizard most trusted by Bhutto XVII. With his arrival, it looked like the Wilson clan could not protect her no matter what.

"Conlin, let me go. Bhutto XVII might still go easy on all of you, considering the Wilson clan's ancestor. I'm the one they're looking for!"

Angie struggled out from Conlin's grip. She broke out into an angelic smile which yet induced a sense of misery.

"No, no, Angie. I'll go with you!"

After a long moment, Conlin had made a choice. He straightened his clothes and immediately opened the door. Just as he was about to head downward, a guard hurried forward. Upon seeing Conlin, the guard said quickly, "Master Conlin, the Duke asks that you bring Miss Angie down."

Conlin's face shifted slightly. Despite preparing himself for this, in this actual moment, he was somewhat at a loss.

Conversely, Angie seemed prepared for this. She had escaped from Fog City and traveled to Wilson Castle. Naturally, she knew of the royal family's influence. By now, they had controlled the entire continent. Even the Spell Caster world had fallen to pieces. In this continent, there was nowhere she could hide, and no one who could go against Bhutto XVII's will.

She knew that this day would come eventually!

"Conlin, come on. Let's go down."

Angie and Conlin trailed behind the guard, swiftly making their way toward the living room below.

Soon, both of them arrived in the living room. Except Duke Wilson, Wizard Havens and another person who wore a black robe, stood before the living room's portrait with his hands clasped behind his back. They could only see his back.

"Father, Wizard Havens."

Conlin bowed slightly toward Duke Wilson and Wizard Havens, then cast an unfriendly gaze at the stranger in the black robe. He felt that this must be Great Wizard Anlin.

"Conlin, quickly pay respects to your ancestor."

Duke Wilson spoke lowly but his voice revealed an irrepressible delight.

"Ancestor?"

Conlin was rather stunned but that black-robed Wizard had turned around, displaying a young face. Only those eyes were incomparably abstruse.

However, Conlin's expression had changed completely. This person looked quite similar to him.

"Father, this…"

"Get on with paying your respects. This is the ancestor of the Wilson clan, Wizard Merlin!"

Seeing that Conlin was still stunned, Duke Wilson exhorted hurriedly.

Angie was dumbstruck with her mouth agape. She looked up quickly toward the portrait hanging in the living room, then matched it to the stranger before her. Indeed, they were alike, even in presence.

At this point, how could she not know that this was Wizard Merlin who had become a legend of the Spell Caster world centuries ago? He had finally returned!

"Ancestor!"

"Wizard Merlin!"

Conlin and Angie paid their respects without delay. A legendary figure, the ancestor of the Wilson clan from past centuries, had shown up in Wilson Castle. Both of them were still somewhat bewildered.

"Not bad, a Fourth-level Spell Caster. Your father said that you have a knack for runes?"

Merlin sat down and looked at Conlin with keen interest. Naturally, he could detect a faint, familiar force in the other person's blood. This was unique to him. It was truly his lineal descendant.

"Ancestor, Conlin's talent with runes is even greater than mine. That's why I've decided to pass on the dukedom to him."

Duke Wilson said quickly. He did not wish to give his ancestor the impression that he neglected the Wilson clan for the sake of his son.

Merlin nodded wordlessly. He now realized that the Runic Heartprint he had left behind was now an emblem of the Wilson clan's successive dukedom. Only someone who was gifted in runes and had decent Spell Caster Quality could ultimately inherit the Wilson clan's dukedom and receive the Runic Heartprint.

"Is your ancestry Charise or Avril?"

Merlin remembered that he had two wives back then, and each had left behind descendants for him.

"Ancestor, we're descended from Charise!"

Just as Merlin guessed, they shared Charise's blood.

Merlin thought about Charise once more. Once a haughty princess, then a capable lady, finally an old woman of white hair. Most of her life had been spent in the Wilson clan.

"Angie, you're a Spell Caster of Fog City?"

Merlin looked again at this female Wizard in a white robe, who looked pure and sweet. Angie kept inducing in Merlin a sense of déjavu as if they had met before.

"Wizard Merlin, I'm a Spell Caster of Fog City but my ancestor is your disciple, Emma!"

"Emma?"

Merlin turned blank until his mind gradually recalled that beautiful young girl who had saved him in the maple forest. When she smiled, she was as sweet and pure as Angie.

"Ancestor, it's precisely because Angie has this link to our Wilson clan, and she's engaged to Conlin, that I'm unwilling to hand her over to Bhutto XVII."

Duke Wilson spoke cautiously. Before this ancestor, he felt an unprecedented level of pressure.

"Ancestor, please don't hand Angie over."

Conlin gripped Angie's hand firmly, his expression flashing with determination.

As he looked at Conlin and Angie's mutual love, Merlin smiled softly. All through his life, he only had relations with three women – Charise, Avril, and the maidservant Laurinka. Nonetheless, Merlin did not experience an unforgettable love with these three women. He had always chased after the essence of being a Spell Caster, seeking for greater powers.

Although he had never experienced a love like this, he would not stand in the way of Conlin and Angie's happiness.

"Conlin, with our ancestor here, who would dare pursue the matter of Angie? Earlier, Great Wizard Anlin had left. Even if our ancestor hadn't shown up, Bhutto XVII no longer planned to pursue this matter. You can rest easy."

Although Duke Wilson's tone was one of rebuke, he was inwardly filled with relief. Considering the royal family's present power, Merlin's return was highly significant to the Wilson clan.

"Swish."

Merlin suddenly made a grab, and with irresistible force plucked out the Runic Heartprint from Duke Wilson's brow, cutting off its connection to Duke Wilson.

"Ancestor…"

Duke Wilson felt a small shock. This Runic Heartprint was the symbol of the successive Wilson dukedom.

The Runic Heartprint hovered above Merlin's palm as he spoke calmly, "I had initially given this Runic Heartprint only to Felinda, letting her understand Runic Magic Circles to better protect the Wilson clan. To think that after she died, this Runic Heartprint was given to the Wilson clan and turned into an emblem of the successive Wilson dukedom. In truth, the Runic Heartprint belonged to the Dark Magic Region. I've brought it out from there. Now, it's time for it to be returned to its rightful owner, the Dark Magic Region."

With that, Merlin pointed and this Runic Heartprint transformed into a river of light, imprinting into Wizard Havens' forehead. Instantly, Havens sensed a new power from the Runic Heartprint.

"How mystical. I can wield Runic Magic Circles in an instant?"

Havens was astounded. He finally knew how Duke Wilson was able to create a few formidable Runic Magic Circles all at once. It turned out he had relied on the Runic Heartprint's ability.

"I'm very grateful to Wizard Merlin. Your care toward our Dark Magic Region in the past has already earned our endless gratitude."

Wizard Havens naturally knew the function of this Runic Heartprint. If he could put it to good use and unleash its capability, he would be even stronger than a Great Wizard.

Deep down, Duke Wilson was slightly rueful. No one knew about the might of the Runic Heartprint better than he did. Nevertheless, this was the ancestor's decision, and he dared not raise any objections.

"Alright, let's go. Take me to my father's grave."

Now that Merlin had returned to Wilson Castle, of course, he wanted to visit the graves of his father, Charise, and the rest. They had been the ones closest to him in this world.

Chapter 866: Bhutto XVII!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On a hillside in Blackwater City, there was a clearing, surrounded by shady trees. This was the Wilson clan's cemetery, where successive generations of the Wilson clan were buried.

Duke Wilson watched as Merlin approach the ancient burial mounds, saying softly, "Ancestor, this is where we buried our predecessors."

Merlin waved his hand, following which Duke Wilson deferentially took his leave, and Merlin was left alone.

As he stared at the names on the gravestones, Merlin's thoughts returned to the Blackwater City of the past. At that time, his father Old Wilson was still a dignified baron but now, Old Wilson had been lying under this mound for who-knew-how-many years.

"Father."

Merlin stroked the rough headstone. The cold sensation seemed to penetrate his heart. He had gotten used to death long ago, even witnessing the rise and fall of so many civilizations. Nonetheless, at this moment, standing before the grave, he was merely Old Wilson's son.

Following that, Merlin continued looking to the side, seeing Charise, Avril, and even his son Conxion, and the rest. Merlin was only familiar with a part of the Wilson clan from before. As for the other graves, they were the successive generations of the Wilson clan, Merlin's lineal descendants, but he had never met them.

Merlin stood before the graves silently, recalling scenes from the past as if it was just yesterday. Back then, Old Wilson's lifelong dream was to pass on the "Wilson" family name. Merlin had helped Old Wilson achieve this goal. In the entire Kingdom of Blackmoon, the Wilson clan was well renowned, the first-rate clan.

Therefore, even if he was dead, Old Wilson had departed in contentment.

After an unknown amount of time, a breeze brushed past, carrying a chill. At last, Merlin slowly turned around and left the cemetery.

"Ancestor."

Duke Wilson was still waiting outside the cemetery.

Merlin glanced at Duke Wilson and seemed to guess his thoughts, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. "Are you still ruing the loss of the Runic Heartprint?"

Duke Wilson went blank and an embarrassed look crossed his face. He knew that he could not conceal his thoughts from Merlin. To Duke Wilson, the Runic Heartprint was too useful to the Wilson clan. However, now it was given to the Dark Magic Region. It was truly a loss.

"What's a mere Runic Heartprint? Remember, your family name is Wilson. It's a noble name. Soon, the entire Kingdom of Blackmoon will know how fortunate it is for you to have this name."

Following that, Merlin did not explain to Duke Wilson any further. They would slowly learn about the Void Zone in the future. Moreover, Merlin had already decided to move the Wilson clan into Glory City. What was a mere Runic Heartprint?

"Now I should head to the Imperial City to meet that old friend of mine…"

Merlin raised his head to look toward the Imperial City.In the magnificent palace of the Imperial City, ten or so Great Wizards who emanated vigorous Elemental fluctuations had all gathered, discussing something.

At their head was an imposing man who wore a crown and the sacred golden armor. It was Bhutto XVII who wielded the highest power in the entire Kingdom of Blackmoon!

Bhutto XVII's gaze swept over the ten or so Great Wizards below. He felt satisfied with his achievements. Back when he was merely the eighth prince in the Kingdom of Blackmoon, he had already harbored great ambitions.

In the end, after much difficulty, he succeeded the throne and became Bhutto XVII, governing the Kingdom of Blackmoon in an orderly manner. However, a war against the Holy Light Empire erupted, and a crisis loomed.

Although that was a crisis, it was also Bhutto XVII's opportunity. With help from the formidable Wizard Merlin and the entire Spell Caster world, he led the Kingdom of Blackmoon to defeat the Holy Light Empire, and unified the entire continent.

Nevertheless, that was just the beginning!

There were still many things Bhutto XVII wished to do, so he spent much time accumulating his forces, finally seizing control of the royal family's Elders' Court in one move. From then on, the Elders' Court had no way of interfering with the Kingdom of Blackmoon's kingship. As long as Bhutto XVII did not die, he could possess the Kingdom of Blackmoon's kingship completely.

This was the first step – to unify the continent. Bhutto XVII's ambition did not stop there. The biggest threat he faced came from the Spell Caster world. A Spell Caster world that did not obey his commands was something Bhutto XVII could not tolerate.

In the past, the Kingdom of Blackmoon had considered itself to be the successor of the Molta Empire but in truth, how could it compare? In the Molta Empire's era, the empire's influence was tremendous. With one command, no Spell Caster would dare disobey. However, the Kingdom of Blackmoon was helpless against the Spell Caster world.

Thus, Bhutto XVII secretly accumulated power for centuries, ultimately controlling the southern Spell Caster world step by step, then defeating the northern Seven Major Spell Caster organizations. Currently, there was only the relatively special Dark Magic Region left, along with a few Spell Caster factions scattered around other places. In the entire continent, no one could contend against the royal family.

Only the present Kingdom of Blackmoon might match up to the previous Molta Empire!

All this was an outcome orchestrated singlehandedly by Bhutto XVII through centuries of effort. He was filled with a sense of achievement. However, he found that the moment the Seven Major Spell Caster organizations fell to pieces, he suddenly felt empty. In the entire continent, no person or power could contend against him, making him feel hollow and purposeless.

"Perhaps that person is still around…"

A familiar figure occasionally popped up in Bhutto XVII's mind. Perhaps only that person who had defeated the Holy Light Empire by himself could bring him excitement.

Nonetheless, that person had not appeared for centuries. Perhaps he was dead or might never show up again.

"Your Majesty, now there are only the Dark Magic Region and that Wilson clan left. Their territory is that large, and they're on the same side. Moreover, they're a Spell Caster clan whose strength isn't weaker than a spell casters' organization. Since our Kingdom of Blackmoon is cracking down on all spell casters' organizations, not even sparing the southern and northern Spell Caster world, then the Wilson clan and the Dark Magic Region naturally, mustn't be exempted."

A Great Wizard with a youthful appearance and long blue robe said loudly.

"Humph, Wizard Minway, how long have you been a Spell Caster? Two centuries or three? Do you know who the ancestor of the Wilson clan is?"

The opposing Great Wizard immediately stood up and retorted.

"The ancestor of the Wilson clan? Isn't that the mysterious Wizard Merlin? It's something from centuries ago. Although I've never experienced it myself, I know something about it. Wizard Merlin had done a service for the Kingdom of Blackmoon but that was centuries ago. He had never shown up and is likely dead. Even if he isn't, and he appears once more, would we be afraid of a mere Spell Caster with the kingdom's current capability? So what if he's a peak Great Wizard? He's still one man in the end – can he rival an entire kingdom?"

This Great Wizard named Minway believed that he as a Great Wizard standing at the peak of the Kingdom of Blackmoon's Spell Casters, he no longer had to fear anyone or anything.

From his perspective, Wizard Merlin was surely a Great Wizard back then. So what if he was the strongest Great Wizard? How mighty was the kingdom's power now? It was far beyond a mere Spell Caster to turn the tide…

"Rival an entire kingdom? Back then, Wizard Merlin defeated the Holy Light Empire all by himself. A god had even appeared. Wizard Minway, some of us had gone through that war ourselves, witnessing Wizard Merlin's power with our own eyes."

Naturally, the opposing Spell Caster was not to be outdone, snorting coldly. Any Wizard who had witnessed Merlin defeating the Church of Light back then, even if they became a Great Wizard, would be unable to erase that shocking scene from their minds.

"Your Majesty, Great Wizard Anlin has returned."

Suddenly, a guard entered the palace and reported.

"Oh? Great Wizard Anlin is back? Please!"

Bhutto XVII narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Great Wizard Anlin who had hurried back, covered in dust. This time, Bhutto XVII had sent him to the Wilson clan for a crucial matter – to see if he could find any clues regarding Merlin.

Soon, Great Wizard Anlin had come inside, bowing slightly to Bhutto XVII. "Your Majesty, I've just hurried back from the Wilson clan. Angie of Fog City is in Wilson Castle indeed. However, Duke Wilson would rather pass on the dukedom to Conlin, requesting Your Majesty to not pursue Angie. I've already conveyed your intentions to Duke Wilson."

"So, did you find any clues regarding Wizard Merlin?"

This was what Bhutto XVII was most interested in.

"Your Majesty, I've already examined the Wilson clan thoroughly and found no trace of Wizard Merlin. In the past centuries, Wizard Merlin hadn't returned to the Wilson clan."

Anlin reported everything he found out in detail. At once, that Great Wizard Minway became more excited, exclaiming, "Your Majesty, let me bring a team. The Wilson clan and the Dark Magic Region will cease to exist."

"Hmm?"

Bhutto XVII jerked his head up and frowned. "Wizard Minway, don't bring this up again. In the past, I'd promised Wizard Merlin to look after the Wilson clan. No matter what they do, I won't pursue the matter. That's my promise! As for the Dark Magic Region, Great Wizard Anlin and Minway, both of you will lead a team to visit them. I believe the Dark Magic Region now knows that they're in an unfavorable situation. Let them dissolve voluntarily and enter the royal family. Don't be too hard on them. After all, they have a special relationship with Wizard Merlin."

Bhutto XVII said solemnly. There was no room for discussion. This was his command.

"Your Majesty, for my sake, could you pardon the Dark Magic Region?"

Suddenly, a breezy voice rang in Bhutto XVII's ear. Instantly, he trembled all over and looked up furiously with an incredulous look.

Nevertheless, the current palace was abnormally silent. The ten or so Great Wizards in the main foyer had become immobile, without a single twitch, their eyes revealing a vacant look.

Chapter 867: The Arrival!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The foyer fell into silence. The other Great Wizards moved not a muscle. Only Bhutto XVII could see his surroundings clearly and move freely.

He saw a beam of dusky light and soon became dazzling, from which out walked a black-robed figure.

"You're… Wizard Merlin?"

Bhutto XVII was astonished. In the past centuries, he had used every method but still could not find any trace of Merlin. He even suspected sometimes if Merlin was dead.

However, having witnessed Merlin rise up step by step to finally display an ability to slay gods, Bhutto XVII's innermost thoughts constantly reminded himself that Merlin would not die so easily.

Perhaps due to this, he did not renege on his previous promise by acting against the Wilson clan. Conversely, in the past centuries, he had always looked out for the Wilson clan.

"Your Majesty, we meet again. In a few centuries, it looks like Your Majesty has put a grand plan into action, almost able to compare to the Molta Empire of the past. Do you still have any regrets now?"

"Regrets?"

When Bhutto XVII saw Merlin appear, he was initially startled but after gradually calming down, he knew that these Great Wizards were useless against Merlin.

"What else would I regret? I control an enormous empire. The entire continent is in my grasp. Even the Spell Caster world has submitted to me completely. In this world, I'm a monarch of the highest power. What else would I regret?"

Bhutto XVII bore a heroic manner. Merlin had known him back when he was merely the eighth prince. From Merlin's perspective, a mere king in the Glorious Land could not even compare to an ordinary Legend.

Nonetheless, this was the highest achievement of an ordinary Spell Caster like Bhutto XVII. In the Glorious Land, he had enjoyed absolute authority in controlling a massive empire. With one command, even Great Wizards had to obey. Indeed, there was nothing Bhutto XVII would regret.

"Your Majesty, you may not have any now but soon, you will. This world is far too small. Let me show you a place."

Merlin's voice remained calm as if he was meeting an old friend for a casual chat. A Maxim from his hand enveloped Bhutto XVII directly, following which he easily tore space apart and traveled through space.

"Whoosh."

In the pitch-black, icy Void Zone, two figures popped up suddenly. Bhutto XVII who wore the sacred golden armor, being a Great Wizard himself, stared speechlessly at this dark, cold sweep of Void Zone.

"This is the Void Zone. There's no space nor time. Behind you is the Kingdom of Blackmon or what the Spell Caster civilization calls the Glorious Land! It's the origin of the Spell Caster civilization…"

Merlin did not explain in great detail, only outlining the matters of the Void Zone, the Spell Caster civilization, and the dimensions. Bhutto XVII had a rough understanding of the disappearances of many powerful Spell Casters three thousand six hundred years ago after the Molta Empire had collapsed.

He had thought that these formidable Spell Casters were dead but now, it appeared that they had entered the Void Zone and even established a glorious, flourishing Spell Caster civilization.

The golden age of Spell Casters had never ended. Instead, the current Spell Caster civilization was even more splendid. The Glorious Land, other than enjoying the prestige of being the Spell Caster civilization's origin, was merely one of the countless dimensions in the Spell Caster civilization.

"The past few years, Wizard Merlin has been in the Void Zone. You're now a Legendary Wizard, I suppose?"

From some ancient books of the Molta Empire, Bhutto XVII had learned that the Great Legends were strongest among Spell Casters, comparable to mighty gods!

Merlin replied noncommittally as he nodded. "I guess you could say that."

He did not further clarify. Now that the Glorious Land was unsealed, Bhutto XVII and the other Spell Casters in the Glorious Land would naturally, slowly comprehend how weak they were in the past.

"Wizard Merlin, you've brought me here surely not just to look at the Void Zone?"

Bhutto XVII's emotions were in a turbulent mess, clueless as to what Merlin's objective was.

Merlin stared evenly at Bhutto XVII, saying mildly, "Your Majesty, we knew each other back when you were still the eighth prince. To me, you're quite a familiar old friend. I want to thank you, old friend, for not going back on your promise and taking care of the Wilson clan for centuries."

After a pause, Merlin continued, "Besides thanking you for the care you've shown the Wilson clan, I wish to show you that even the greatest empires such as the Molta Empire can collapse in a day."

"Boom."

Merlin waved his hand casually. A terrifying ray from the Flame Maxim sped directly toward a barren dimension in the distant Void Zone. Instantly, that barren dimension fell to pieces under Merlin's Flame Maxim. A dimension, comparable to the Glorious Land, disintegrated just like that, crushed into fragments at Merlin's will.

Bhutto XVII was dumbstruck as he gaped. He wished to know, was this the strength of a Legend? Even if one was as mighty as the Molta Empire, what could one do if they encountered a power like this?

Bhutto XVII suddenly felt that everything he had done before was ridiculous. He had used a few centuries to unify the entire continent but ultimately discovered that it was a futile effort!

"In the past, the Glorious Land was sealed for special reasons. Now, I've opened it up. So, any Great Wizard or even Seventh, Eight or Ninth-level Spell Casters who are unafraid of risks, can leave the Glorious Land."

Bhutto XVII nodded. Following that, Merlin brought Bhutto XVII back to the Glorious Land once more.

"Whoosh."

Both of them emerged in the foyer but Bhutto XVII felt as if he was in a dream. The Great Wizards below still wore vacant expressions without moving at all.

"Wizard Merlin, these Wizards…"

Merlin withdrew his Mind Power. Instantly, these Great Wizards woke up from the illusion. When they saw that an additional figure had appeared beside Bhutto XVII, some of their faces changed greatly as they cried out in surprise, "Wizard Merlin?"

"It really is Wizard Merlin!"

These Great Wizards had seen Merlin before, so naturally, they recognized him at a glance. As for the new Great Wizards who were headed by Minway, they secretly became wary.

"Wizard Merlin, you've returned just in time. Things are different today. Back then, you'd done the Kingdom of Blackmoon a great service but now, your clan and the Dark Magic Region no longer align with the kingdom's interest. Therefore…"

Before he could finish, Merlin's invisible Mind Power started fluctuating. Wizard Minway's expression turned slack as he slowly raised his hand, beginning to conjure up a powerful spell.

"What's going on? Why am I not in control of my body, no…"

Minway was shocked to discover he was mobilizing Magic Power to wield a spell but the target of that spell was himself.

"Fire!"

Merlin's voice was soft but as soon as he spoke, Great Wizard Minway unleashed the Fire-type spell, submerging himself in the blazing fire.

Soon, Great Wizard Minway's body was reduced to ashes, and his force had vanished completely. A powerful Great Wizard could put up no resistance. Merlin did not even have to attack. He had "killed himself" under Merlin's control.

A death like this would seem incomparably reprehensible if others learned about this.

At this point, some of the new Wizards could not help but feel a chill in their hearts. They had heard of rumors regarding Merlin but had always felt that these were exaggerations, that it was the older Great Wizards who had feared Merlin.

Now, they felt that the words of the older Great Wizards did not convey Merlin's fearsomeness at all. Being able to control a Great Wizard with one look – a technique like this far exceeded their imaginations.

"I've only come at this time to meet an old friend. The Glorious Land has been unsealed. I should leave."

Merlin glanced at Bhutto XVII. Surely Bhutto XVII knew by now, how laughable the Kingdom of Blackmoon was in the Spell Caster civilization.

Bhutto XVII hurriedly stood up. "Wizard Merlin, will we meet again in the Void Zone?"

"We can, of course! I'll move the Glorious Land beside Glory City, where I am. If there's a chance, we'll surely meet again…"

With that, Merlin's figure disappeared as if he was never there, leaving behind only those Great Wizards who exchanged blank looks. They did not quite understand what Merlin meant.

What Glorious Land, what Void Zone… Nonetheless, some of the keener observers noticed Bhutto XVII's serious expression, and they knew that the Kingdom of Blackmoon would be greatly transformed."Hoo…"

In the peaceful Void Zone, great waves were stirred up at this moment. Three Aurora warships appeared before the Spell Caster civilization.

"It should be here. The coordinates of the dimension map aren't far from here."

In the three Aurora warships were Laerin, Sirin, and Hayrin who had traveled a long way from the Great Light Region. With Laerin in the lead, they had gone through a long journey to finally reach the coordinates indicated on the dimension map.

"This is so remote. Without the Aurora warships, we can't even reach this place in a hundred million years. Nonetheless, this fits the conditions of the confinement dimension left behind by the Vestigial Tribe. Who knows, those two Light Envoys might have discovered a confinement dimension of the Vestigial Tribe."

Hayrin gave a careful analysis. Other than to uncover what happened to the two Light Envoys, the more crucial reason for their arrival was to search for the Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimension. This was personally ordered by the Great Light Honorable Lord.

"There seems to be a civilization here. Looking through them one by one is troublesome. Let's wipe out some immediately and force out the strongest contenders of this civilization. We can directly ask and find out if they've seen the two Light Envoys!"

Sirin immediately spoke tyrannically. Contenders from the Great Light Region usually acted in this domineering manner.

Laerin, who was their head, considered the idea then nodded. "Let's act then!"

"Rumble."

The three Light Guardian immediately kept their Aurora warships. Their bodies flashed mightily with the tremendous power of the natural order, condensing countless gigantic fists that gently pounded the endless surrounding dimensions. These dimensions were annihilated in a flash, turned into fragments.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of dimensions were destroyed. The entire Spell Caster civilization was shaken up!

Chapter 868: Conceited!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

By now, the Spell Caster civilization was extremely illustrious. They could not figure out who would still dare to provoke the Spell Caster civilization and in such a manner.

"Who is it that's provoking our Spell Caster civilization?"

"Even the God Alliance was destroyed by us. Has someone gone mad?"

Many Legends and Honored Legends in the dimensions flew out in astonishment. Nevertheless, when they spotted the three curiously-dressed figures, all of them trembled simultaneously.

"They're ultimate existences. Quick, report to Arcane City!"

Thus, the news circulated swiftly, soon reaching Arcane City. In the present, the Spell Caster civilization still had three great Arcane Cities – Augustus Arcane City, Ceci Arcane City, and of course the most special Glory City.

Among these, Glory City was the most powerful!

However, at the moment, Merlin was not overseeing in Glory City, so when Augustus and Ceci received the news, they quickly hurried over.

"Swish swish."

Arcane Wizards Augustus and Ceci arrived with the mighty presence of the natural order's vast power. When they saw the three figures, their hearts sank a little. These were ultimate existences indeed.

"Who are you? Don't you know that this is our Spell Caster civilization?"

Wizard Augustus called out thunderously.

"Spell Caster civilization? Have you seen two Curved Horn ultimate existences?"

One of them, Laerin, asked bluntly.

"The Curved Horn Tribe?"

Augustus' and Ceci's expression shifted greatly. Were those not the two foreign tribe members Merlin had killed recently? Could they be contenders who had come from the Great Light Region?

Upon seeing the changes on Augustus' and Ceci's faces, Laerin exuded a cold force as he snorted. "It looks like you two know about those two Light Envoys. Go on, what happened to those two?"

When they noticed the unfriendly looks of the three foreign tribe members, Augustus and Ceci exchanged a glance. Although they were ultimate existences, ever since the two Curved Horn Creatures came by, they knew that all of the ultimate existences here were merely beginners. Compared to those truly powerful ultimate existences, there was still an immense disparity.

These three foreign tribe members had come a long way to search for those two Curved Horn Creatures. They must have impressive capabilities, at least no weaker than those two Curved Horn Creatures or even stronger. Therefore, Augustus and Ceci were no match by far. So, even if they clashed forcefully, they had no chance of winning.

With this in mind, they decided to stall for time, waiting for Merlin's return.

Thus, Augustus spoke, "Everyone, the two Curved Horn Creatures had found a Vestigial Tribe dimension here. We daren't enter that dimension for it can cut off the natural order's power. Therefore, the two Curved Horn Creatures went in and still haven't come out. Could it be that you're their companions?"

"A Vestigial Tribe dimension that could isolate the natural order?"

The expressions of Laerin, Hayrin, and Sirin shifted slightly but thereafter, they revealed great delight. This was similar to the Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimension that the Great Light Honorable Lord had asked them to look for. There was a high possibility this was the confinement dimension they were searching for.

If it was the Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimension, and those two Light Envoys had entered that dimension carelessly, it was hazardous indeed. They might have encountered danger within.

"I wonder if they're telling the truth?"

Hayrin cast an unfriendly glance at Augustus and Ceci. Although it was just a glance, Augustus and Ceci felt an immense pressure that was even stronger than the previous two Curved Horn Creatures.

"Whether it's the truth, we'll know once we take a look. Is there anything in this rural region that could threaten us? If it's the confinement dimension, and those two Light Envoys who are merely first-grade ultimate existences dare to enter the Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimension so carelessly, then they're courting death!"

Laerin laughed coldly. He was capable and thus, confident. Even without the three of them, he alone was assured that he could wipe out the Spell Caster civilization. As for Augustus and Ceci, both were beginner ultimate existences and were no threat to the three of them at all.

Crafty schemes and plots were rather useless at their stage. Even if they were lured into the Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimension, it was pointless. They were still Light Guardians – second-grade ultimate existences. They had stored plenty of the natural order's power within their body. The confinement dimension was futile against them.

"Alright, both of you lead the way and bring us to the Vestigial Tribe's dimension."

Laerin gradually released a trace of his force. Although it was just a trace, it made Augustus and Ceci endlessly appalled as it was difficult for them to even mobilize the natural order.

The disparity was too immense!

Thus, Augustus and Ceci nodded, leading Laerin and the rest toward Glory City. Nonetheless, their Maxim avatars headed in another direction, swiftly rushing to the Glorious Land to search for Merlin. Currently, only Merlin was capable of resolving the crisis."It's here, the Glorious Land!"

Outside the Glorious Land, two figures emerged suddenly. They were the Maxim avatars of Wizard Augustus and Ceci and had hurried here at their greatest speed.

"Even the seal is gone. It looks like Wizard Merlin has gone into the Glorious Land. Let's quickly locate him."

Thus, the two ultimate existences' Maxim avatars rapidly extended their consciousness into the Glorious Land. Even though they were only avatars, they were comparable to Lords. Therefore, searching through a mere dimension was a piece of cake to them.

At the moment, Merlin was carefully feeling the Glorious Land's Dimension Origin. He found that it was not complete, being slightly damaged. He did not know if it was Aruba or the great war against the Atlan civilization that had damaged the Glorious Land's Dimension Origin.

Therefore, Merlin was thinking of a way to slowly mend this Dimension Origin, which would take a longer time.

"Huh? Wizard Augustus, Wizard Ceci, is something the matter?"

Merlin had controlled the Glorious Land. Naturally, he immediately sensed the consciousness of Wizards Augustus and Ceci, so he stepped out of the Glorious Land, appearing before those two.

"Oh good, Glory Lord, we've finally found you! Three powerful foreign members had just arrived, looking for the two Curved Horn Creatures. They must be contenders who had come from the Great Light Region. They destroyed dozens of dimensions in one stroke. Fortunately, we've deceived them for now, leading them toward Glory City. We're using this chance to hurry over here and inform you."

Both of them were slightly panicked. The three foreign members' abilities were too formidable, and they felt unable to contend against those three.

"Oh? They're here so soon? That's good. Since they're heading to Glory City, there's still time! Both of you, enter my Aurora warship. We'll hurry to Glory City at the greatest speed."

Merlin did not hesitate at all. The Glorious Land could be moved later on, and the Dimension Origin could be slowly repaired. Nonetheless, first, he had to deal with the three powerful foreign members.

"Swoosh."

The three of them sat in the Aurora warship and swiftly flew toward Glory City.In the icy Void Zone, five ultimate existences were using the power of the natural order to speed up, flying toward Glory City.

Initially, Augustus and Ceci still wore nervous expressions but as time passed, they became more collected. Nevertheless, every move of theirs was observed clearly by Laerin and the rest behind them.

"Oh no, something's fishy about them both. Let me interrogate them!"

Hayrin's face turned cold and she immediately wanted to confront Wizard Augustus and Ceci.

"Hold on. As if I didn't know they were up to something. These two ultimate existences, at most, are informing even stronger existences of their civilization but that's good as well. They surely have something to do with the deaths of the two Light Envoys. After their contenders have gathered, it'll save us the trouble of hunting them down one by one. Who knows if some of them might slip away, which would be troublesome too."

Laerin said, totally unconcerned.

The three of them were conceited to an extreme but they were entitled to act this way. They were three of the eighteen Light Guardians of the Great Light Region, having annihilated countless civilizations, some of which had dozens of ultimate existences or even ultimate contenders at the peak of the first-grade. Nonetheless, no one could withstand a single blow from any of them three.

Each grade of ultimate existences had inconceivable massive disparity. Otherwise, the eighteen fighters who were second-grade ultimate existences would not pledge allegiance to the third-grade Great Light Honorable Lord.

It was precisely due to this strength that Laerin was so confident. He did not believe that this rural region would have powerful existences. Those two Light Envoys would die, most likely because they had entered the Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimension. At their puny ultimate first-grade stage, certainly, they stored no natural order in their bodies. Entering the Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimension was equivalent to walking into a prison. They would have no way of using the natural order's power. Even a joint attack could easily kill those two Light Envoys.

It should be known that in the first place, the confinement dimension was used by the Vestigial Tribe to imprison ultimate existences and gods. The two Light Envoys who entered recklessly were idiotic to the extreme.

"Maybe they have tricks up their sleeves, luring us into the Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimension. If it's the confinement dimension, then we won't have to look for it, killing two birds with one stone!"

Laerin's words were supported by the other two Light Guardians. They were contenders of the ultimate second-grade. In the Void Zone, they stood at the pinnacle of fighters. Those who could slay them were extremely rare.

Perhaps a third-grade ultimate existence could do so but in such a remote territory, how could such an existence possibly appear?

Therefore, three of them were relaxed. Even though they knew Augustus and Ceci were acting fishy as if hatching a plan to deal with them, they did not expose the ruse, silently following behind Augustus and Ceci.

"We've reached the Vestigial Tribe dimension!"

Suddenly, Augustus stopped but a strange smirk stretched his lips.

Chapter 869: Kill!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Augustus and Ceci stopped and turned around, glaring coldly at Laerin and the rest.

Laerin's gaze was calm before his eyes finally revealed a spirited glint. He said mildly, "The person you've secretly informed – have they arrived? That's good. I don't feel like searching for them one by one. Since they're here, come out."

Electric snakes twisted around Laerin's body constantly. These electric snakes were a manifestation of the natural order which was condensed to the extreme. Most ultimate existences could not do this at all.

Sirin and Hayrin stood behind Laerin. The three second-grade ultimate existences exuded a force that faintly caused countless life forms in the surrounding dimensions to shudder.

Even Augustus and Ceci changed their expressions as they hurriedly glanced back.

"Roar…"

Suddenly, a roar ripped through the Void Zone. Laerin and the rest were quite flabbergasted.

Augustus and Ceci were pleased. "The Glory Lord is finally here!"

When they previously received news that Merlin had already returned to Glory City, they stopped here. Now that Merlin had arrived at last, they could rest easy.

Soon, an incomparably gigantic monster appeared in the spacious Void Zone. Its colossal frame was much bigger than most dimensions.

"Slothful Beast?"

The eyes of Laerin and the rest shone. This was a Slothful Beast, only to be found through luck. First-grade ultimate existences were helpless against the Slothful Beast.

Only ultimate existences of the second-grade or higher could injure the Slothful Beast slightly but even then, the damage was limited. As for controlling the Slothful Beast, that was a fool's dream. Forget about them. Even a third-grade ultimate existence like the Great Light Honorable Lord was unable to control the Slothful Beast.

Nonetheless, there was a Slothful Beast present now. On its back stood a black-robed figure. From the looks of it, this person could steer the gigantic Slothful Beast.

"To be able to control and steer the Slothful Beast, how wonderful! If we can gain this method of control, won't our capabilities be greatly enhanced among the second-grade of ultimate existences?"

Laerin, Sirin, and Hayrin were all at the ultimate second-grade. They knew profoundly how scary the Slothful Beast was. Although second-grade ultimate existences could injure the Slothful Beast, it was too difficult to kill it. If they could obtain the method of controlling the Slothful Beast, in one leap, they would immediately become existences second only to the Great Light Honorable Lord.

All at once, they were incomparably covetous. Compared to searching for the Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimension, they cared more about this method of commanding the Slothful Beast. After all, even if they had located the Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimension, they would hand it over to the Great Light Honorable Lord's control. They would not gain any benefits. However, controlling a Slothful Beast was different. That would increase their strength tangibly!

"Just you? It looks like those two Light Envoys were killed by you? Just this Slothful Beast alone is insufficient for you to kill them. You're not even a mere ultimate existence yet. The Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimension that those two mentioned must be real."

At a glance, Laerin could tell that Merlin was not even an ultimate existence, and thus unable to kill the two Light Envoys. No matter how puny those two were, they were still at the peak of the ultimate first-grade. In this rural region, no one was stronger than the two Light Envoys.

Nonetheless, they linked this to the person who was commanding the Slothful Beast and controlling the Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimension. Luring those two Light Envoys into the dimension, in addition to controlling the Slothful Beast – the fearsome power that could erupt in the confinement dimension could have killed those two Light Envoys.

The more Laerin thought about it, the more this seemed likely. Still, he was not enraged. Those were merely two Light Envoys. If they could obtain the method of manipulating the Slothful Beast, so what if even more Light Envoys died?

"You dare to kill the Light Envoys of our Great Light Region – how brave! Oh well, we'll capture you first, then take our time to question you."

Laerin stuck first. He was even observing Sirin and Hayrin. There was only one Slothful Beast, which would augment his capability. Laerin would not allow anyone to compete for this.

Therefore, he used his strongest power in the first blow. All of the power of the natural order in his body exploded at once. Electric snakes swiftly gathered, turning into an enormous lightning serpent.

"Rumble."

The lightning serpent transformed from the natural order stretched its jaws, hissing as it flew toward Merlin. Furthermore, as an ultimate existence, Laerin could wield the natural order of the Void Zone, incessantly amplifying the giant lightning serpent. Therefore, as the lightning serpent dashed forward wildly, its might became more terrifying. In the blink of an eye, it had exploded in size many times over with dreadful power. Who knew how much stronger it was than those two Curved Horn Creatures?

"It looks like you're Light Guardians, ultimate existences of the second-grade!"

Merlin stared at the lightning serpent of overbearing might. Compared to most ultimate existences who had controlled the power of the natural order, second-grade ultimate existences were much, much stronger. Furthermore, the power of the natural order was more concentrated. Each strand would contain unparalleled power, capable to easily wiping out innumerable dimensions.

Merlin drew in a deep breath, and shut his eyes lightly.

"Boom."

A thunderous crash sounded, weighing heavily on everyone's heart, too unpleasant to bear.

As for Merlin, he had now transformed into a giant golden light. The black robe he wore was somehow glistening with golden rays, emitting a majestic and terrifying force!

That deafening crash earlier was due to Merlin using his hand in a direct, ruthless grip. That giant lightning serpent seemed to possess consciousness, snarling ferociously, yet it was unable to escape from Merlin's golden grasp.

"Shatter!"

With a loud cry, the golden light grew blinding, and pure energy exploded instantly. The power of the natural order in the lightning serpent was smashed and scattered. Upon encountering the golden light, it rapidly melted like snow under a blazing sun.

"What? This… This is…"

Laerin's face changed quickly as he watched the giant golden light. He could not be more shocked than he already was. Even though he was a second-grade ultimate existence, he was still stunned.

"The Vestigial Tribe's ultimate weapon, rumored to be their peak power, an unrivaled weapon that could match the ancient Thirty-six Emperors – the Golden Ray Armor!"

"So the legends were true…"

Sirin and Hayrin were second-grade ultimate existences as well. When they spotted Merlin's Golden Ray Armor, they immediately recognized that this was the Vestigial Tribe's legendary Golden Ray Armor.

Although the Golden Ray Armor was so few it could be counted on one hand, the Great Light Honorable Lord had controlled two of the Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimension and gained many of their treasures.

Although they had not obtained any of the Vestigial Tribe's three mighty armors, they had received detailed data about those armors. Naturally, as an unrivaled weapon that could contend against the ancient Thirty-six Emperors, the Golden Ray Armor was most prioritized by the Great Light Honorable Lord.

Although it was said that the Golden Ray Armor could not be utilized without the Vestigial Tribe's Brain of Life, the Great Light Honorable Lord was not concerned, still searching everywhere for the armor.

His main objective in looking for the Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimension was to obtain the Golden Ray Armor. In the end, the Vestigial Tribe was destroyed by the Thirty-six Emperors. If the Golden Ray Armor existed, it was surely placed in a confinement dimension.

Laerin and the rest were somewhat speechless. They did not think that the Golden Ray Armor the Great Light Honorable Lord had been dreaming of would show up here. Moreover, it was more astounding that someone could use the Golden Ray Armor.

"You're the Vestigial Tribe? No, the Vestigial Tribe's body has a unique composition. Anyone with the Vestigial Tribe's blood couldn't gain any power from the Void Zone. Although your power isn't that strong, it's close to an ultimate existence. You can't be from the Vestigial Tribe. However, if not, how can you use the Golden Ray Armor?"

Laerin was completely perplexed but Hayrin and Sirin behind him had turned mad with desire. Merlin was not the Vestigial Tribe but could activate the Golden Ray Armor. If they could get it, would they still need to obey the Great Light Honorable Lord's orders?

They could even use the Golden Ray Armor to kill the Great Light Honorable Lord in one blow, becoming the new ruler of the Great Light Region!

Therefore, Hayrin and Sirin did not give Merlin a chance to recover his breath, striking instantly. It was a full-force attack. The Void Zone's power of the natural order was intense to the extreme, slightly even more fearsome than the origin of the natural order which Flarite had attracted.

Nonetheless, they were blinded by greed, forgetting that Merlin had the Golden Ray Armor. How could they compare to him?

"Gravitational field!"

Invisible energy fluctuations emerged from Merlin, enveloping Laerin and the rest. Their bodies instantly turned sluggish as if there was endless pressure coming from all sides.

Nonetheless, the gravitational field could only affect them slightly. Merlin knew that without unleashing the annihilation function, he could not handle the three of them.

Therefore, the golden giant waved both hands. An unseen energy that made everyone trembled swiftly extended outward.

"Annihilation function!"

Back then, the Atlan Dimension Core had been largely consumed to activate the annihilation function once. This used up too much energy but this was because Merlin was simply relying on a program to control the Golden Ray Armor, thus unable to unleash its full power.

Otherwise, the true strength of the Golden Ray Armor was on par with the Thirty-six Emperors. The annihilation function was meant for existences like the Thirty-six Emperors. Even they would have to avoid it.

If the Golden Ray Armor was at full power, just the gravitational field could easily crush second-grade ultimate existences. As for third-grade ultimate existences, the Golden Ray Armor would not need to resort to annihilation either.

However, Merlin was not truly from the Vestigial Tribe and did not have the Brain of Life. He could not wield the full power of the Golden Ray Armor, so he could only unleash its most frightening power – the annihilation function!

The overwhelming annihilation function spread soundlessly toward Laerin and the rest. Everything that it touched – any form of energy was disintegrated, including Sirin and Hayrin's strongest attack. Even the natural order which filled the space, after encountering the annihilation function, was silently broken down and dispersed.

At this point, those three had sensed the unseen hazard. How could they not understand? The true threat was Merlin who looked as if he was not an ultimate existence. He was the one who had killed the two Light Envoys.

Currently, even these three formidable Light Guardians, second-grade ultimate existences, were faced with the death threat!

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle."

Three soft hisses – the power of the natural order covering the three Light Guardians could not halt the annihilation function at all. In an instant, they were reduced to ashes without even time to plead for their lives.

"Don't let their treasures go to waste!"

Merlin reached out and grabbed their rings just in time. He inspected with his Mind Power. As expected, they contained treasures such as the Aurora warship. Merlin had acted in time, not letting the annihilation function destroy these treasures.

Chapter 870: Departure I

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Dead?"

Wizard Augustus and Ceci flew over. Although they were ultimate existences, they could not interfere in that previous battle. Currently, they were no longer uninformed creatures who had only stayed in one territory. They knew that ultimate existences were divided into a few grades, and the disparity between each grade was like an insurmountable moat!

Those three foreign members were Light Guardians of the Great Light Region, having reached the ultimate second-grade. In particular, Laerin, who could control lightning was the top contender. Even so, in front of Merlin, they could not withstand one blow.

Especially that mysterious power that Merlin had finally unleashed, which destroyed everything in its path, easily slaying the three Light Guardians. They did not even have the chance to flee. How terrifying!

Augustus gave Merlin a complicated look. The present Merlin had truly grown to a stage none of them could have imagined. In not just the Spell Caster civilization but even the entire region, he was undoubtedly the strongest person among the countless surrounding civilization.

Nonetheless, Augustus was still somewhat worried. From what the two Curved Horn Creatures had said, they learned that the Great Light Region was not that simple. Not only were there seventy-two Light Envoys and eighteen Light Guardians but the strongest of them was also the Great Light Honorable Lord who was the ruler of the Great Light Region, a supreme contender who was the ultimate third-grade.

This time, for him to send three Light Guardians, it meant that the Great Light Honorable Lord had taken notice. Now that the three Light Guardians were dead, there was no doubt that the Great Light Honorable Lord would be furious.

Next time, it might not be Light Guardians who would visit the Spell Caster civilization but the Great Light Honorable Lord himself. Before such a being, the entire Spell Caster civilization could be completely annihilated at his single thought.

Even the Atlan civilization, if it had not encountered the Spell Caster civilization but a tyrannical force like the Great Light Region instead – one Light Guardian could easily sweep over the entire Atlan civilization. The Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimension was of no use.

"Merlin, we need to properly discuss about Great Light Honorable Lord. This won't do. Let's move away. Now that the Spell Caster civilization has you, in addition to seizing countless dimensions of the God Alliance, we've created many powerful Wizards. We can move away with no trouble."

Augustus gritted his teeth and gave his opinion, which was to relocate to preserve the civilization. In truth, it was not like this was without precedent.

The Giant Tribe had relocated from afar. Back then, they were called the Titan Tribe, a powerful civilization who could jointly kill Black Star Warriors. However, due to the Vestigial Tribe, they had moved a long way, finally reaching this region.

However, each relocation might cause the destruction of a civilization. The Giant Tribe's decline to their present state was largely linked to their relocation.

The initially flourishing Titan Tribe could fall to such a stage in just one relocation, let alone the Spell Caster civilization. Other than Merlin, the general strength of the Spell Caster civilization was not that great.

There were so many dangers in the Void Zone. Without finding a suitable place for the Spell Caster civilization, the entire civilization would fall into ruins. Thus, they must not move except as a final resort.

"There's no need for such a big fuss. Wizard Augustus, Wizard Ceci, I'll stay on in the Spell Caster civilization for some time to make arrangements. Thereafter, there's no need to wait for the Great Light Honorable Lord's arrival. I'll look him up myself and resolve our worry!"

"You'll look for the Great Light Honorable Lord?"

Augustus and Ceci were flabbergasted. Although Merlin had exhibited power that was far greater than second-grade ultimate existences, they were unassured that he could deal with the Great Light Honorable Lord. Moreover, Merlin would have to travel a long distance to strike into the Great Light Region. This was very risky. One mistake, and Merlin might die.

"Don't worry. Of course, I have some assurance!"

Merlin did not explain further. He was already ready to leave the Spell Caster civilization but before that, there were many matters to settle.After three months, the Spell Caster civilization sent out invitations to the Tree Tribe, the Avian Tribe, the Giant Tribe, and almost every powerful foreign civilization nearby. Using Merlin's name, all ultimate existences from the surrounding civilizations were invited to the Spell Caster civilization to discuss something significant.

This was a primary concern for countless civilizations nearby. In so many years, the God Alliance was the strongest force. The eight god organizations had suppressed many civilizations until they could barely breathe.

However, even such an overbearing force was destroyed by Merlin alone. Currently, the Spell Caster civilization had flourished to an extreme.

Furthermore, news had spread that even some distant foreign members had died in Merlin's hands, especially the Light Envoys and Light Guardians from the Great Light Region. Some ultimate existences of other civilizations had used various means to learn specific details.

Of course, this was what the Spell Caster civilization had permitted. The intentional news spread was Merlin's final arrangement. Naturally, he could not leave the Spell Caster civilization just like that. He had practically become a symbol of the Spell Caster civilization, especially as more time passed, and those within the Spell Caster civilization who accepted and became Mind Power Masters had increased in numbers. Merlin had become an emblem of these Mind Power Masters.

Under such circumstances, it was not easy for Merlin to leave. He had to prepare everything.

No one from the surrounding foreign civilizations turned down the invitation because it was an invitation from the number one figure – Wizard Merlin!

Therefore, contenders from each civilization had gathered in Glory City. Despite being unable to detect the natural order in Glory City, these ultimate existences were not that worried.

With Merlin's abilities, he would not need to lure them into Glory City to easily wipe them out. Thus, they entered Glory City gladly and calmly, using this opportunity to experience the uniqueness of Glory City.

In the largest dimension of Glory City, Merlin finally showed up. This time, everyone he had invited was an ultimate existence – genuine rulers from the surrounding civilizations.

"Everyone, I believe you know about the Great Light Region. Our territory is too small, and the Void Zone is too big. Just the Great Light Region alone is stronger than us, who knows by how much. Therefore, I suggest we form an alliance!"

Merlin's purpose in gathering so many foreign civilizations for discussion was to establish an alliance, unifying the entire territory as one. Even if it was a loose alliance, it was better than going solo. In the face of danger, there would only be one or two civilizations to put up a fight.

If they truly encountered a formidable force, a civilization's solitary strength in this territory could not hold up at all.

Augustus and Ceci were not surprised. Before this, Merlin had explained this clearly to them. Forming an alliance was the best plan for now. Of course, there was a better plan – for the Spell Caster civilization to vanquish all foreign civilizations and unify the entire territory.

With Merlin's abilities, of course, he could do this. Nonetheless, it would not be that functional for the Spell Caster civilization. It might even be pointless. After all, the Spell Caster civilization had sufficient living space now, even having excess. Just the God Alliance's dimensions contained much more space than the previous Spell Caster civilization.

No matter how many dimensions one had, one would need enough life forms to occupy them. Nonetheless, the Spell Caster civilization had only set foot in the Void Zone for merely three thousand years or so, before producing a Wizard like Merlin who was immeasurable by ordinary standards. Other than Merlin, the general Spell Caster civilization was not that powerful.

With such a colossal force, the Spell Caster civilization would have enough space to develop, even for a few million years. There was no need to wipe out the surrounding Spell Caster civilizations.

Moreover, even if they were wiped out, more ultimate existences would die. The overall strength of the Spell Caster civilization would not increase. Conversely, the power of this territory would be weakened.

Wizard Augustus and Ceci would not agree to an arduous and unrewarding effort like this, so they might as well form an alliance, uniting all their forces. This was the best plan.

After hearing Merlin's suggestion, the foreign civilization members below broke into fervent discussion. This development was too astonishing. They had not even gotten a whiff of it.

"Alliance – how will it be exactly? Would it be like the God Alliance?"

The Titan Giant Chronos piped up with a question.

By now, the Giant Tribe was no longer the Titan Tribe that had waged war against the Vestigial Tribe. They had declined to a civilization in a rural territory. Today, there were merely two ultimate existences. Perhaps they were considered formidable in this region but in the entire Void Zone, they were nothing much.

The Titan Giant's question was one that everyone was most concerned about. If they became like the God Alliance, there was no difference – alliance or not. Back then, the eight god organizations of the God Alliance, thanks to separate interests, were unable to ultimately expand their influence.

Merlin shook his head. "Of course, it'd be different. The God Alliance was too disorganized. What we need is an alliance that can quickly gather power to counter any danger. Thus, a mighty civilization must take the lead. I suggest that the Spell Caster civilization does so. If we encounter any danger, the Spell Caster civilization can command all civilizations to participate with their greatest effort!"

Naturally, for Merlin to form an alliance, he wanted to fight for the Spell Caster civilization's benefit.

Merlin's meaning was evident. He wanted the surrounding civilization to acknowledge the Spell Caster civilization's position, and even follow their commands.

The advantage was that they did not have to worry the Spell Caster civilization would swallow them up. Plus, if they met an external threat, they would not have to resist by themselves, and could instead, seek assistance from the alliance.

In truth, there were many civilizations, especially the Giant Tribe, the Tree Tribe, and others that were relatively stronger, who were unwilling to form such an alliance with the Spell Casters taking the lead.

However, Merlin was so powerful now that they could not contend against him by far. Thus, after going through some specifics, they finally agreed to establish an alliance with the Spell Caster civilization as their head.

This alliance would have Glory City as its core, called the Glory Alliance!

Chapter 871: Departure II

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Finally, the Glory Alliance was established. Thus, Merlin retrieved some information regarding the different levels of ultimate existences which he had obtained from the Light Guardians as well as some of their personal experiences.

This was precious information that many of the ultimate existences could only dream of obtaining. Merlin shared the information with every ultimate existence in the Glory Alliance. Therefore, even those who were slightly disgruntled were appeased by this lode of information. This was definitely worth the price they had to pay.

Once the Glory Alliance was stable, Merlin moved the Glorious Land and placed it next to Glory City. Among them, the Wilson clan was placed in Glory City. It was at this point that the Great Wizards from the Glorious Land realize how inadequate they had been before. Compared to the rest of the Spell Caster civilization, the entire Glorious Land was not even worth a mention.

What astonished them most was Merlin. Surprisingly, he was already comparable to an ultimate existence and stood at the pinnacle of the Spell Caster civilization!

Currently standing in front of the Glory Tower in Glory City, facing Merlin, was a Great Wizard dressed in a sacred golden armor and a crown. He was Bhutto XVII of the Kingdom of Blackmoon.

However, Bhutto XVII was looking grim. Ever since Merlin had relocated the Glorious Land and removed the seal over it, the Great Wizards from the Glorious Land had gradually departed from the Glorious Land to mingle with the outside world. They had realized how insignificant they were, not even the level of a Legend.

The same was true for Bhutto XVII. He was a Great Wizard in his own right, and by his brazen conquests, managed to lead the Kingdom of Blackmoon to such heights. This achievement was his life work.

"Your Majesty, what are your plans for the future?"

Merlin still used the same honorific as the past, which Bhutto XVII was extremely grateful. By now, he knew that Merlin's status was at the pinnacle of the entire Spell Caster civilization. Not only did Merlin controlled a dimension but he had also founded the Mind Power system. Merlin's achievements were far beyond the grasps of a king like him.

"Glory Lord, now that the Glorious Land has been unsealed, I finally saw the outside world. I now know that the glory of the Spell Casters had never faded but became even more dazzling than before. I've done what I can for the Glorious Land. This vast world is a challenge for me. I'll leave the Glorious Land and explore the outside world, just like what the Glory Lord did before. I'll leave as a Great Wizard and come back as a Great Legendary Wizard!"

Bhutto XVII did not falter. Once the Glorious Land was unsealed, his position as a king no longer held any significance. Hence, he quickly passed the throne to his successor, and prepared to leave the Glorious Land.

Moreover, ever since Merlin became the Glory Lord and seized control over Glory City, many of his past adventures had gradually come to light, such as his fearless exploration of numerous dangerous places while still being a Great Wizard. This became the inspiration for many other Spell Casters and Mind Power Masters. As a result, several people had followed in Merlin's footsteps and embarked on their exploration ahead of time. Bhutto XVII also wanted to do so.

"That's good, you should indeed explore and gain some experiences. Perhaps, you'll encounter a stroke of luck that helps you consolidate a Maxim and become a Legend! No matter what, you and I are close acquaintances. Here, this is a puppet that you can control. Its ability is comparable to a Legendary Wizard. However, don't abuse it. At critical moments, it can save your life. I'm also giving you the cultivation method of the complete Mind Power system. If you ultimately fail to consolidate a Maxim, you might want to consider cultivating the Mind Power system."

Merlin immediately retrieved a Legend-level puppet and transferred its control over to Bhutto XVII, and also passed the complete teaching of the Mind Power system to him.

The most precious gift was the Mind Power system. This was because only a precious few could receive personal instruction from Merlin regarding the Mind Power system.

Bhutto XVII was very grateful. He knew that it was because he kept his promise and took care of the Wilson clan. As a result, this highly respected Glory Lord, Merlin, gave him so much help.

Following that, Bhutto XVII left. However, there were still a lot of things Merlin had to prepare before leaving the Spell Caster civilization. The most important issue was the safety of the Spell Caster civilization.

At present, the Spell Caster civilization was indeed thriving but there were only two ultimate existences – Augustus and Ceci. Once Merlin had left, the Spell Caster civilization would return to its original state, and was weaker than before.

The growth period of the Spell Caster civilization was simply too short. It was extremely difficult to give birth to a new ultimate existence, and certainly not within a short period.

Therefore, Merlin must leave behind some trump cards for the Spell Caster civilization, so that if they encounter any danger, they would be able to overcome it.

After long consideration, Merlin carefully compartmentalized all his abilities, and decided to leave behind the Slothful Best. If the Slothful Beast remained in the Spell Caster civilization, it would deter many ultimate existences.

However, the old Maxim avatar would not be able to control the Slothful Beast, so Merlin first had to enhance his Maxim avatar.

The only way to do that was to give a portion of the Illusory World to his Maxim avatar. It was unrealistic to expect a Maxim avatar to consolidate his own Illusory World.

Merlin's approach was to detach a portion of his Illusory World. Not too much, just enough to control the Slothful Beast. This was a self-inflicted handicap. Detaching just a tiny portion of the Illusory World, even the tiniest speck, would have a great impact on the progress of Merlin's Illusory World.

Nevertheless, this was still the best approach. Otherwise, Merlin would not be truly assured when he left the Spell Caster civilization.

Thus, Merlin recalled his Maxim avatar and began to detach a small portion of the Illusory World. Then, he began to merge it with the Maxim avatar.

Since Merlin's Maxim avatar originated from his own body, although just a little bit less powerful, and the Illusory World was also detached from himself, there were no problems merging a small portion of the Illusory World to his Maxim avatar. Very soon, the merging was a success.

"Try it and see."

Merlin said to his Maxim avatar. The feeling was a little strange because his Maxim avatar was himself. Understandably, it was bizarre to talk to himself.

The Maxim avatar stood up. An extraordinary glint glowed in his eyes. Subsequently, an invisible fluctuation wrapped around the Slothful Beast summoned by Merlin.

"Hibernate…"

Merlin's Maxim avatar's Mind Power fluctuated incessantly, and a small portion of the Illusory World enveloped the Slothful Beast. Immediately, the Slothful Beast seemed to be affected and began to look drowsy.

"Not bad, you can control the Slothful Beast now."

Merlin heaved a breath of relief. Now that his Maxim avatar had merged with a small portion of the Illusory World, it was able to control the Slothful Beast and become the most powerful force of the Spell Caster civilization.

Moreover, if any ill were to befall, the Slothful Beast would be able to hold on for a while. In the meantime, Merlin's real person would be able to return quickly.

"It's time to leave!"

Merlin stood up, and cast one last glance at the Slothful Beast. Then, with a flash of his figure, left Glory City.

"Swish swish."

He did not alert anyone except for Wizards Augustus and Ceci. Upon receiving Merlin's message, the two of them promptly rushed outside of Glory City.

"Glory Lord, are you going to the Great Light Region alone?"

Augustus asked with a troubled expression.

"I can go alone. I still have four Aurora warships. I'm keeping one for myself and leaving one in Glory City. There are two more, so I'm giving it to each of you. If you encounter any danger, you'll be able to escape in time."

Merlin retrieved two Aurora ships from his ring. These were valuable treasures that many second-grade ultimate existences did not have. Even the three Great Light Envoys' Aurora warships were temporarily lent to them by the Great Light Honorable Lord. They would have to return it upon their return to the Great Light Region.

The two Aurora warships were extremely beneficial to Wizards Augustus and Ceci so they accepted the Aurora warships.

Merlin nodded and did not say anything. He flew directly into the Aurora warships, after which he transformed into a ray of light that quickly vanished into the Void Zone.

Augustus and Ceci looked at one another with a hopeful look. "I hope the Glory Lord succeeds."In the Great Light Region, everything looked calm but the Seventy-two Light Envoys and Eighteen Light Guardians seemed intensely pressured, like something big was about to happen.

A total of fifteen Light Guardians and seventy Light Envoys had received the Great Light Honorable Lord's commands, requesting for them to return to the Great Light Dimension as soon as possible.

The Great Light Honorable Lord had never issued such an urgent command. All the Light Envoys and Light Guardians knew that something major must have happened to the Great Light Region.

Hence, the Light Envoys and Light Guardians had arrived in the Great Light Region in succession. The palace contained dozens of Light Envoys and Light Guardians but there was not a din. It was incomparably quiet, perhaps even to a frightening degree.

The crowd's eyes were transfixed on the Great Light Honorable Lord.

After a long time, the Great Light Honorable Lord finally spoke, "Three Light Guardians, Laerin, Sirin, and Hayrin, are dead!"

"Rumble."

The Great Light Honorable Lord's words attracted the commotion of the entire hall. Three Light Guardians were second-grade ultimate existences. Who would dare to provoke the Great Light Region?

Seeing the reaction of the people gathered below, the Great Light Honorable Lord nodded with satisfaction. His voice turned icy. "I've decided to lead a troop consisting of ten Light Guardians and forty Light Envoys, to avenge our three Light Guardians. Not just the assailant but his entire civilization and whatever method he used to kill the three Light Guardians. We must destroy them completely!"

Ever since they had fought over a Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimension with another large region, which was tens of thousands of years ago, there had never been such a massive-scale attack. Not only was it personally led by the Great Light Honorable Lord but he had also brought with him numerous Light Guardians and Light Envoys.

"No matter who killed the three Light Guardians, he has angered the Great Honorable Lord. Whatever civilization or force that stands behind him will suffer the consequences."

Many Light Guardians and Light Envoys knew that the Great Light Honorable Lord was downright furious, which was the most terrifying part. Wherever he was, there would be endless bloodshed!

Chapter 872: Challenger on the Doorstep!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Swish."

In the pitch-black Void Zone, a warship glowing with flowy lights was speeding forward.

In the Aurora warship, Merlin's eyes were shut, his consciousness buried deep in the Illusory World. Ever since he had detached a small portion of the Illusory World, it had been slightly affected, so he had to mend it.

"Finally mended!"

Merlin heaved a long breath of relief. He did not expect that detaching such a small portion of the Illusory World would have such a huge impact. He had to spend a very long time to mend it completely.

Presently, the Illusory Tribe Civilization had progressed past their mother star and was beginning to conquer several other planets. Following the progress of the Illusory Tribe Civilization, the Illusory World would also gradually be perfected. Then one day, the Illusory World would not merely be a Mind Power construct but no different than a real world.

Nonetheless, this was a long, drawn-out process. Perhaps a few hundred years, a few thousand years, tens of thousands of years or even longer…

Merlin glanced at the Void Zone outside the Aurora warship. The vast and endless Void Zone seemed to stretch forever, with no end in sight. Even with the Aurora ship, it would be challenging, downright impossible, to traverse the Void Zone and visit every place.

"Stop. Have we reached the Great Light Region?"

Merlin suddenly stopped the Aurora warship. He gazed at the Void Zone outside. Numerous dimensions filtered into view. Moreover, these dimensions emitted an aura of light.

However, this aura was completely different from the gods. It was like an eternal light that glowed unwaveringly as if it would never fade.

"The Great Light Dimension where the Great Light Honorable Lord is, shines bright all the time."

Merlin retrieved the dimension maps and made a comparison. True enough, he was very near the Great Light Dimension.

"This place is indeed enormous, and far more developed than the Spell Caster civilization!"

Merlin gradually entered the Great Light Region. He noticed that each dimension emitted a dominating aura, no less than the ordinary Legends and Honored Legends, some even more powerful.

Furthermore, the life forms in these dimensions possessed auras that were significantly more powerful than those in the Spell Caster dimensions. This also meant that the number of strong contenders from just a single dimension in the Great Light Region would already outnumber the entire Spell Caster civilization.

After all, in the Spell Caster civilization's dimensions, only one Legend was born for every dozen or so dimensions. On the other hand, in the Great Light Region, Legends were not considered rare. A single dimension could give birth to multiple Legend-level existences.

Merlin thought for a moment, and continued flying toward the brightly shining dimension which contained the strongest power. That would be the Great Light Dimension where the Great Light Honorable Lord was.

Merlin stowed his Aurora warship, and his body naturally exuded a Lord's aura. In the Spell Caster civilization, a Lord was considered quite powerful and would be noticed wherever he went but in the Great Light Dimension, Lord-level existences were plentiful.

Occasionally, there would be some ultimate existences in the Great Light Dimension.

"Look, the Great Light Tower is activated. Does it mean that an ultimate existence is challenging the tower in hopes of becoming one of the Seventy-two Light Envoys?"

"The Great Light Tower usually isn't activated. There are only two possibilities if it's activated. Either someone is challenging one of the Seventy-two Light Envoys to vie for a position or they are recruiting new Light Envoys."

"It doesn't seem like anyone is challenging the Seventy-two Light Envoys. After all, each of the Seventy-two Light Envoys is a first-grade ultimate existence. No ordinary ultimate existence can compare to them."

"I heard that a while ago, two of the Seventy-two Light Envoys were killed, though I don't know why. So, they must be recruiting new Light Envoys. This is a golden opportunity."

"What? Two of the Seventy-two Light Envoys were killed? Who in the world dares to lay a hand on the Great Light Region's Light Envoys?"

Many of the foreign tribe creatures were engaged in fervent discussions. These foreign tribe creatures were not composed of just a single civilization but all kinds of different civilizations. The entire Great Light Region was comprised of countless foreign tribes.

The Great Light Honorable Lord himself was a special life form. He was alone and did not have any tribe. Therefore, when he established the Great Light Region, he had assembled countless foreign tribe creatures from countless civilization. As long as their abilities were sufficiently powerful and professed loyalty to the Great Light Honorable Lord, they would qualify as a member of the Great Light Region.

Among them, the most coveted positions belonged to the Seventy-two Light Envoys and Eighteen Light Guardians. Thus, many ultimate existences dreamt of becoming a Light Guardian. Yet, the requirements of becoming a Light Guardian was extremely rigorous, which was to achieve the level of a second-grade ultimate existence. Such a contender would surely be the topmost existence of any civilization. As a result, very few people could fulfill such requirements.

The Seventy-two Light Envoys, on the other hand, only stipulated being an ultimate existence, and could be challenged at will. If not for the fact that the Seventy-two Light Envoys needed to sign a contract with the Great Light Honorable Lord and surrender their lives and deaths in his hands, many more ultimate existences would have challenged the Seventy-two Light Envoys.

Regardless, the number of ultimate existences willing to become one of the Seventy-two Light Envoys was endless. Due to this reason, the entry barriers for the Seventy-two Light Envoys were getting more stringent. Currently, almost every single Light Envoy was a first-grade ultimate existence.

"A Light Envoy, how enviable! If you become one of the Seventy-two Light Envoys of the Great Light Region, not only will you receive guidance from the Great Light Honorable Lord but there's also a great chance of advancing to second-grade. You will also be able to enjoy the Vestigial Tribe's phenomenal 'virtual wonderland'. You can even simulate a second-grade or third-grade ultimate existence in the virtual wonderland."

"Yes, the confinement dimensions controlled by the Great Light Honorable Lord contains the Vestigial Tribe's 'virtual wonderland' treasures which drive countless ultimate existences crazy. I heard that three out of the Eighteen Light Guardians relied on the Vestigial Tribe's 'virtual wonderland' and successfully advanced to second-grade."

"The Light Envoys and Light Guardians are way too far out of our reach right now. We should think of joining the Light Sentinels, which is more realistic. The Light Sentinels are made up of the top contenders under the level of an ultimate existence. Although you won't be as powerful as an ultimate existence, you'll still be noticed by the Great Light Honorable Lord and receive many benefits."

Merlin committed all these conversations to memory. The Great Light Region was indeed very powerful that some ultimate existences would take the initiative to join them.

The Spell Caster civilization, on the other hand, had to use various forms of compensation to request assistance from a few ultimate existences. Even then, it was limited to helping the Spell Caster civilization fend-off the Atlan civilization. As for having ultimate existences join the Spell Caster civilization willingly on their own accord, it was completely impossible.

Yet, this was a feat accomplished by the Great Light Honorable Lord. The Seventy-two Light Envoys of the Great Light Region had never fallen short of manpower. Even if some Light Envoys were killed, soon enough, new ultimate existences would fill the vacancy.

The true reason was that becoming the Seventy-two Light Envoys brought all kinds of perks, especially the Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimensions which were controlled by the Great Light Honorable Lord. Inside, there were many treasures which were extremely enticing to many ultimate existences. This was the reason why numerous ultimate existences constantly desired to become one of the Seventy-two Light Envoys.

Merlin followed the crowd toward the Great Light Tower. Outside the Great Light Tower, there were indeed a few ultimate existences who were gazing at the tower with determination.

This was recruitment for new Light Envoys, so they did not have to challenge the actual Seventy-two Light Envoys. As long as they could clear the nine floors of the Great Light Tower, they would qualify to become a new member of the Seventy-two Light Envoys.

"Big brother, if the Great Light Region is recruiting new Light Envoys, does it mean that a Light Envoy was killed? Who would dare to attack a Light Envoy?"

A foreign creature with a not-so-powerful aura, about the level of an ordinary Lord, asked curiously.

"Perhaps the Light Envoy was killed when he embarked on an outside mission. After all, the Great Light Region's reputation is infamous. I've never heard of any person or force that dares to provoke the Great Light Region."

"So, are we safe here?"

"Of course, we're safe. It's forbidden to fight in the Great Light Dimension. Even if the Blueblood Tribe were to catch-up to us here, they wouldn't dare to attack."

This foreign tribe man declared confidently. Anyone who had entered the Great Light Dimension was safe. The two of them had worked hard to escape to the Great Light Region to evade the Blueblood Tribe's murderous pursuit.

In the Great Light Dimension, no one dared to fight. This was an iron-clad rule. Once upon a time, two second-grade ultimate existences who were seeking revenge fought fiercely in the Great Light Dimension, almost causing the entire Great Light Dimension to fall apart.

This infuriated the Great Light Honorable Lord. He personally killed the two second-grade ultimate existences. From then onward, no one dared to launch an attack in the Great Light Region.

"Swish swish."

Suddenly, beside these two foreign creatures, a few burly-looking foreign creatures appeared. Their bodies exuded powerful auras, one of them was even an ultimate existence.

"It's the Blueblood Tribe!"

"Hehe, don't worry, they won't dare to attack!"

Although there were numerous Blueblood Tribe members as well as an ultimate existence, what this foreign creature said was right. They did not dare to attack and could only watch irately as the two foreign creatures walked past them.

"Elder, are we just going to let them go?"

Some of the Blueblood Tribe members felt vexed.

"This is the Great Light Dimension, who would dare to attack? Are you looking for death? Even a second-grade ultimate existence wouldn't dare to attack in the Great Light Dimension."

The ultimate existence from the Blueblood Tribe appeared frustrated as well. Although he could kill those two foreign creatures easily, as they were in the Great Light Dimension, he dared not act.

This was the Great Light Honorable Lord's authority!

"It seems like this is indeed the Great Light Dimension. I can't be wrong. Hence, I might as well start the fire."

Merlin had learned that this was indeed the place where the Great Light Honorable Lord lived. Thus, he did not hold back any longer. His purpose of coming here was the Great Light Honorable Lord!

Therefore, Merlin's Mind Power immediately shrouded the entire dimension. The invisible fluctuation was felt by almost everyone in the dimension.

"Great Light Honorable Lord, come out!"

Merlin's body emitted a golden light as he stood high up in the air. Dominance rolled off his body in waves. Such a sudden disruption shocked all the foreign creatures in the dimension!

This was the first time someone dared to land on the doorstep of the Great Light Region and provoked the Great Light Honorable Lord.
