A Wizard's Secret

A bell chime blared across the entire dimension. No one knew what was happening.

Merlin, Setoh, and the others stood up immediately, and cast their gazes outside the palace. They could sense a powerful aura approaching the palace at a rapid speed.

"Creak."

The main door creaked open, and a Giant emitting a golden glimmer walked in with an air of authority. He walked directly to the highest level, and sat down on a chair that was about the size of a huge bed.

The only Titan Giant of the Giant Tribe, Chronos!

"Your Majesty Chronos, you've finally returned!"

Wizard Setoh was the first to recover. He was Arcane Wizard Setoh's avatar, so naturally, he could tell that the Giant in front of him possessed the power of the natural order. This was a power that only the ultimate existences possessed.

The Titan Giant Chronos had returned!

It was Merlin's first time seeing the Titan Giant of the Giant Tribe. According to rumors, the Titan Giant was the progenitor of the Giant Tribe, and every Titan Giant innately possessed endless courage. They were born to be warriors!

The combative nature of the Giant Tribe was common knowledge. This was a civilization whose blood contained an avid fighting spirit!

"Arcane Wizard Setoh, this isn't one of your Wizards from the Spell Caster civilization, right?"

Upon entering the palace, Titan Giant Chronos' sight was transfixed upon Flarite. Based on his experience, he was, of course, able to tell that Flarite was extremely powerful.

Wizard Setoh also glanced at Flarite and smiled. "The Spell Caster civilization has encountered some tribulation. This is a strong contender from the Flare Tribe, who is preparing to return to the Spell Caster civilization together with me to help the Spell Caster civilization face this tribulation."

Flarite grinned. With his intelligence, he naturally knew what Setoh was trying to achieve. Although the so-called "Flare Tribe" appeared out of thin air, he did not mind, and just smiled.

The Titan Giant nodded pensively. He had never heard about the Flare Tribe before but there were simply too many civilizations in the Void Zone. Perhaps, the Spell Caster civilization was indeed friendly with this unknown Flare Tribe.

He regarded Flarite with high esteem because he could sense that Flarite was almost at par with an ultimate existence. Such a contender was not easily found among most of the powerful civilizations, including the Giant Tribe.

However, Chronos would not know that the entire Flare Tribe only consisted of Flarite and the other two beings.

After a long pause, Titan Giant Chronos retracted his show of interest, and questioned coldly, "So, why have you come here from afar?"

Although Chronos knew that the Spell Caster had encountered some difficulties recently, he did not know the true extent of the situation.

Setoh contemplated for a moment as if choosing his words carefully. Sometime later, he took a deep breath and spoke, "I'm sure Your Majesty knows that the Spell Caster civilization is in trouble. We don't have anything to hide from you because you'll find out easily enough if you sent someone out to collect information. The enemies of the Spell Caster civilization are the Atlan civilization, the Rock Tribe, and the Light God Organization from the God Alliance. The Rock Tribe and the Light God Organization each have ultimate existences whereas the Atlan civilization is a new peculiar civilization, which I'm sure you've heard before. Currently, the Spell Caster civilization is in danger, so we would like to request assistance from the Giant Tribe."

Chronos' gaze was sharp as he affixed a dead stare at Setoh. Then, he sneered. "The rise of the Spell Caster civilization has been fast, yet someone managed to force you into such a tight corner? I thought you can control a Slothful Beast? Why would you still need me?"

Chronos had already seen the Slothful Beast outside the Titan Dimension. As the only Titan Giant of the Giant Tribe, he, of course, knew how fearsome a Slothful Beast was. It was not at all inferior to an ultimate existence.

Setoh seemed prepared for that question. He replied, "The Slothful Beast is indeed powerful but it still isn't an ultimate existence. Moreover, the method of controlling it is still flawed. The enemies of the Spell Caster civilization - whether the Rock Tribe or the Light God Organization aren't a simple tribe. If they succeed in exterminating the Spell Caster civilization today, then, I'm afraid it'll be the Giant Tribe tomorrow! As for the Atlan civilization, it's even more horrifying than both the Rock Tribe and the Light God Organization. As long as Your Majesty take a look at them, you'll understand what I mean."

With that, Setoh stopped speaking. As a Titan Giant who bore the burden of the entire civilization, Chronos would certainly understand the stakes that were involved. Although the Giant Tribe was very far away from the Spell Caster civilization, the Light God Organization had always been a wild card.

In addition, if the Rock Tribe continued to expand, then, it would be difficult to imagine that a conflict with the Giant Tribe would not arise.

Furthermore, the reason that the Giant Tribe had been able to develop in peace over the past many years was attributed to the Spell Caster civilization. It was because the Spell Caster civilization blocked the Rock Tribe as well as a few other nearby civilizations.

As for the threat from the Spell Caster civilization, the Giant Tribe did not have to worry. After all, separating the Spell Caster civilization and the Giant Tribe was the all-powerful God Alliance. Hence, it would be impossible for the Spell Caster civilization to get past the God Alliance and pose a threat to the Giant Tribe.

On the other hand, if the Spell Caster civilization was wiped out, the current equilibrium would be ruined. This was something that the Giant Tribe did not want to see happen.

For some time, Chronos appeared to hesitate. The Spell Caster civilization had three Ultimate Arcane Wizards as well as Flarite in front of his eyes, who was almost on par with an ultimate existence. Other than the ultimate existences, Flarite was almost undefeatable.

Moreover, they also had that powerful Slothful Beast. If they received assistance from the Giant Tribe, the Spell Caster civilization indeed would have a bigger chance of winning. It also meant that helping the Spell Caster civilization would not be too dangerous.

Nonetheless, as the only Titan Giant of the Giant Tribe and shouldering the burden of its development, Chronos generally would not leave the Giant Tribe's sphere of influence.

If something were to happen to him, then the entire Giant Tribe would plunge into danger. Thus, he had to leave behind a seed of hope for the Giant Tribe.

For many years now, Chronos had been thinking of going into the ancestral land again to obtain a drop of Titan Blood. The Titan Blood was heritage blood. Just one drop of heritage blood had a monumental probability of turning a Giant into a powerful Titan Giant.

However, other than his one lucky escape from the ancestral land previously, none of the other Giants he sent had been successful. He did not dare to take the risk to enter the ancestral land either because there was an aura that felt threatening even to him.

Chronos lifted his head, and immediately thought about the humongous Slothful Beast outside his dimension. According to rumors, the Slothful Beast was impervious to any kind of attacks. Even the attacks of several ultimate existences had no effect on the Slothful Beast.

Upon this thought, a bold idea appeared in Chronos' mind.

"Your request for the Giant Tribe to join forces with the Spell Caster civilization isn't entirely impossible. However, you must first do the Giant Tribe a favor!"

Chronos said solemnly.

"A favor?"

Setoh did not suspect a thing and replied at once, "If Your Majesty has any request, as long as you agree to join forces with us, we'll surely agree."

"Haha, don't be so quick to agree. I'll bring you to a place, then, you can decide!"

Chronos laughed. His towering body stood up straight, and left the palace. Setoh, Merlin, and the others discussed briefly. "Let's go. We'll see what is this matter that causes even a Titan Giant to feel helpless!"

They knew that the Spell Caster civilization was in a precarious situation. Whether or not they received assistance from the Giant Tribe depended on this matter.

Hence, they quickly flew onto the Slothful Beast. Meanwhile, Chronos stood next to the Slothful Beast, his eyes tightly focused on Merlin and the rest. Naturally, he wanted to see what method they were using to control the Slothful Beast.

Merlin did not mind because he knew that his method could not be imitated by anyone who was not a Mind Power Master. Besides using Hallucinating spells to "lure" the Slothful Beast, there were no other possible methods to control it. Therefore, it was not a problem for Titan Giant Chronos to watch him.

"Wake up."

With just a soft yap from Merlin, the huge body of the Slothful Beast began to rumble. Under the guidance of Merlin's Hallucinating spell, the deeply slumbering Slothful Beast soon awoke.

"Huh?"

Titan Giant Chronos was watching the Slothful Beast closely. Based on his understanding of the Slothful Beast, he knew that once the Slothful Beast was in a deep slumber, it would not awake in thousands or tens of thousands of years.

However, right now, the Slothful Beast was indeed woken up from its deep slumber. Moreover, the tamer was the least-regarded Merlin. This time, he took a thorough look at Merlin. When he determined that it was indeed Merlin who was controlling the Slothful Beast, he was astounded.

"This technique is something the Giant Tribe won't be able to learn!"

Although Chronos did not know how Merlin accomplished this feat, as a legitimate ultimate existence, he could still sense the Mind Power fluctuation emitted by Merlin. Naturally, he knew that the Spell Casters possessed Mind Power whereas the Giant Tribe did not. Thus, controlling the Slothful Beast was completely impossible for the Giant Tribe.

This could be the most special technique possessed by the Spell Casters!

Thinking along these lines, Chronos was even more certain that the Spell Caster civilization was not completely at a dead-end yet. They still possessed a powerful ability.

"Everyone, steer the Slothful Beast and follow me."

Despite Chronos' enormous body size, compared to the Slothful Beast, he was as tiny as an insect. Nevertheless, he was very fast, and led the way in front of Merlin and the others.

Soon, under Chronos' guidance, they came to a barer area. There were no dimensions around them except for a gargantuan dimension filled with the stench of death right in the middle.

This dimension was immensely huge, almost the size of tens or hundreds of dimensions. It was only a smidgen smaller than the Atlan civilization.

Seeing this dimension, Titan Giant Chronos' expression turned inexplicably complicated. For a moment, he simply stared at the dimension without uttering a word.

"Why have you brought us here?"

Merlin questioned suspiciously. It was such a gargantuan dimension that even the Slothful Beast could enter with ease. It was much bigger than the Flare Region world they were previously at.

A long pause later, Chronos began to speak slowly, "Ancestral land. This is the Giant Tribe's ancestral land! My request is very simple. You must enter the ancestral land and retrieve an item for me!"

Chronos stared at the gargantuan right in front of him with a determined look!
