A Wizard's Secret

“Divinity?”

Merlin’s expression changed dramatically. He had thought of everything except he had forgotten that the Atlan civilization had given the Eight Great Lord Gods, Lord God-level divinity.

These divinities may have usually been insignificant but at such a critical moment when the Lord God of Light was already severely wounded, and with just a little bit more, they would be able to devastatingly wound the Lord God of Light, and even kill him.

However, with divinity, everything Merlin had done before had been rendered useless. The reason why the gods claimed that divinity was indestructible, and gods were immortal was precisely because divinity was the fundamental source of power for the gods.

“Haha, trying to kill me? Not enough, that’s not enough! Burn it, unleash it. It was a pity to have used divinity so soon...”

The Lord God of Light had waited until the last moment before he pulled out the divinity. He was truly reluctant because to the Lord Gods, these Lord God-level divinities’ greatest purpose was neither to restore and heal their injuries nor were they for battle. It was for them to comprehend the power of the natural order and increase their own true powers.

However, given the Lord God of Light’s current situation, the only thing he could do was to consume the divinity, otherwise, what awaited him would be death.

“Boom.”

A dazzling holy light shot into the sky like a beam of light directly piercing through the Mother Tree’s dense canopy. In the darkness of the Void Zone, it appeared to shine so brightly.

“Look, it’s the Lord God of Light’s holy light!”

“He had used divinity. Looks like he must be in a critical situation. Everyone, we’ll unleash the power of the natural order together and destroy the Mother Tree!”

After seeing the holy light piercing through the sky, the Lord Gods from the other Great God Organizations naturally had their speculations of what had occurred knowing that the Lord God of Light would have only used the Lord God-level divinity at his most dangerous, critical time.

For a time, these Lord Gods no longer dared to be arrogant, and instead, focused all their might into bombarding the Mother Tree’s defenses.

“Ka-cha.”

As the dimensions shattered, the hundreds of millions of creatures above it had followed suit, in the blink of an eye, fissured into pieces as their grim ire rose to the skies.

However, this was only the beginning. One dimension, two dimensions, three dimensions...

The Mother Tree could no longer withstand as the assault from the Seven Great Lord Gods and the Progenitors of the Rock Tribe continued. One by one, the dimensions were shattered and torn apart. In a flash, hundreds of dimensions were entirely shattered.

Merlin’s gaze froze. These dimensions were the foundations of the Spell Caster civilization!

“Whoosh.”

The Mother Tree returned to his original form. His face paled as he flew to where Merlin and the others had gathered. The fact that he had been able to withstand the attacks for such a long time was already a remarkable feat.

One should know that the ones he had gone up against were the Eight Great Lord Gods in addition to the two Progenitors of the Rock Tribe. The Mother Tree and the Slothful Beast aside, no one else present stood a chance of going up against them.

“Lord God of Light, you’ve been forced to use divinity. Looks like you’re in a pinch. Tsk, tsk, you’ve finally had a taste of what it’s like to be on the brink of death, Lord God of Light.”

Having seen the state of which the Lord God of Light was in, the Lord God of Darkness had naturally pieced together what had happened as the Avian Monarch, Chronos, Roman, Augustus, and Ceci were in a distance away. The Lord God of Light had been under siege by at least five of the members of the Spell Caster civilization.

Had it not been for the Lord God-level divinity, the Lord God of Light would have died!

This time, the Lord God of Light had not refuted the Lord God of Darkness. His gaze was fixated on Merlin and the others. His expression darkened as he utterly despised and hated Merlin and the others. This resentment would last till death.

“Boom.”

No one had noticed that in the distant Void Zone, a dazzling beam of light, no, two or even three flashed!

A total of three luminous beams had caught everyone off guard as they instantly locked onto Augustus, Chronos, and Roman. That was the Atlan civilization’s void-level warship which carried the aura of death, soaring forward. Its speed was too fast, and since the few of them had been targeted, even the ultimate existences would not be able to escape.

“Three luminous beams... Has the void-level warship become stronger? Or have they finally mastered the workings of the void-level warship?”

Merlin did not hesitate. Now, the Illusory World had surrounded the nearby area, and everyone was already inside the Illusory World. The minute he shifted his thoughts, the

Slothful Beast would act accordingly.

“Roar...”

In an instant, the Slothful Beast’s body became bigger than ever. Its huge body expanded rapidly as its colossal body shielded Roman, Chronos, and the others. Even in the Void Zone, all that could be seen was a gigantic shadow.

“Pom-pom-pom.”

Three luminous beams exploded right onto the Slothful Beast’s body. This time, the impact had been more painful than previous times. In the past, the Slothful Beast would have probably awakened immediately.

However, Merlin had consolidated the Illusory World. Now, he was currently casting the Illusory World, keeping the Slothful Beast asleep in the illusion. That was why even though the three luminous beams had exploded onto the Slothful Beast’s body and created three bloody holes on it, the Slothful Beast seemed to remain unaffected.

Moreover, because of the Slothful Beast’s super-regenerative strength, the Slothful Beast soon recovered.

Apart from the Slothful Beast and the Thirty-six Emperors existences, no other force was capable of annihilating it!

“It’s the Atlan civilization’s void-level warship again. D*mn it!”

Augustus’ gaze was cold but he was powerless to do anything. The void-level warship was lurking in the dark, and the Eight Great Lord Gods and the two Progenitors from the Rock Tribe were still eyeing them covetously. There was no way to destroy the void-level warship.

Only the edge of Merlin’s lips had tilted into a wry smile as he cast his gaze somewhere toward the vast Void Zone. There, Roman, who had still been around earlier had disappeared without a trace.

...

Hidden in the rear of the densely packed warships, only the head of the mysterious Marshal clad in the Gray Light Armor were seen from within the command ship.

“Not bad, the energy problem of the void-level warship has been resolved. Although its energy consumption remains to be hefty, at least it’s capable of launching three consecutive attacks now! That would be enough to kill an ultimate existence! The void-level warship is the basis of which the Atlan civilization will be able to stand firm in the Void Zone, and it could even be our foundation to conquering the entire Void Zone in the future!

The Marshal was immensely pleased with the current void-level warship. After going through an extended period of continuous development and research, the Atlan civilization was finally able to control the alarming amount of energy consumed by the void-level warship. Now, it was no longer limited to a single blast although recharging it would take a long time and even needed more than a dozen dimensions to fully recharge it.

Now, there was no longer any need for such hassles, and the void-level warship was even more concealed, faster, and more difficult to be found.

With the void-level warship, the Marshal could almost see the complete collapse of the Spell Caster civilization.

“Marshal, the assault was unsuccessful. The other party had once again used the Slothful Beast to defend against our attack.”

A Gray Light Armor guard reported to the Marshal, and suddenly, the atmosphere grew dense and heavy. Everyone knew that the Marshal had a temper. They had ascertained the timing this time yet, they had failed to dispose of an ultimate existence, unlike before with Arcane Wizard Setoh.

However, to everyone’s surprise, the Marshal had not flown into a rage but instead, appeared oddly calm.

“It was unsuccessful? The Slothful Beast is indeed peculiar but no matter, we have plenty of opportunities. Let the Eight Great Lord Gods and the Progenitors of the Rock Tribe hurry up and move into action. Once they do that, we’ll have our chance! The Slothful Beast cannot possibly protect those ultimate existences at all times.”

As for bombarding the ultimate existences, the Marshal appeared fully confident as the void-level warship was more than just the addition of one or two ultimate existences.

The void-level warship which was hidden in the dark may serve an even greater purpose than the ultimate existences.

“Lock onto Roman, Augustus, and the Avian Monarch. Especially Roman, this man possesses some of the Vestigial Tribe’s top techniques. He poses a great threat to us.”

The Marshal quickly issued the order.

“Marshal, we’re unable to lock onto Roman. We’re unable to locate him.”

“Unable to find him?”

The Marshal turned pensive for a moment, then seeming to have thought of something, his expression changed dramatically as he shouted, “Quick, evacuate the void-level warship. Move it immediately at the fastest speed possible!”

The Marshal was overwrought as he just remembered that Roman had a stealth flying ship. That was something that even the Atlan civilization’s most advanced warship to date would not be able to keep up in speed, and it could not be locked on or identified.

The stealth flying ship may not have posed a threat to the ultimate existences but Roman, who possessed the stealth flying ship, was the biggest threat to the void-level warship.

“Beep beep beep. Alert. Void-level warship alert. An unidentified flying object had been discovered. Suspected threat.”

“Kill Roman at all costs! Guards, put on the Gray Light Armor. Stop Roman from destroying the void-level warship at all costs!”

The Marshal was now immensely regretting his actions. He had always felt that the entire course of the battle had been within his grasp. He had originally thought that by bringing in the God Alliance coupled with the void-level warship, there would be no doubts about the outcome of the battle as it was sure to end swiftly.

Now, however, things appeared more complicated than he had thought, and it looked like things were not about to end soon. Rather, even the Atlan civilization was in danger as without the void-level warship, the Atlan civilization had practically lost its say in this war.

With the greed of the Gods from the God Alliance, the Marshal knew very well that without the void-level warship, they would be the ones in the most dangerous position.

Even if they had possessed the technology to create the void-level warship, rebuilding it from the Atlan Dimension now would still take considerable time.

Throughout a long time, the course of the war may take a different turn. Moreover, even if the God Alliance had annihilated the Spell Caster civilization, the Atlan civilization would still be in danger.

“D*mn it, we can’t let Roman destroy the void-level warship!”

To save the void-level warship, the Marshal had even sent out a team of Gray Light Armor guards. Without the Brain of Life, the power of the Gray Light Armor created by the Atlan civilization could never compare to the Vestigial Tribe’s Gray Light Armor.

However, this was the only thing that was more powerful than the dimension-level warship that the Atlan civilization could dish out.

Only, even the Marshal was unsure whether it was enough to stop Roman! Moreover, the Marshal had only just realized that the situation on the battlefield had gone out of his control...
