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.
