A Wizard's Secret

"Hum."

Just as Marta's figure flew into the vortex, the entire vortex began to shake violently like a giant gear, and a horrifying force broke out. Anyone would feel incomparably small in front of this force.

There was nothing much that could harm Marta's Golden Ray Armor. Even the Thirty-six Emperors could only imprison the three Golden Ray Warriors.

Furthermore, Marta was currently using his full power. Although his body was small, his willpower was amazing. That force was incredibly terrifying. He reached out his hand as if to grab something in the vortex.

"Crack."

The vortex seemed to stop at that moment but it was only for a moment, and it was restarted soon. At that instant, the terrifying power crushed directly as if it was tearing everything apart.

"Bang."

The power of the vortex was so strong that it caused despair. In a split second, it seemed unstoppable. The Golden Ray Armor that seemed to be indestructible was as fragile as an eggshell under this power. It was crushed instantly, turned into countless fragments, sucked into the vortex, and never seen again.

Dead. Marta, one of the three great warriors, who even the Thirty-six Emperors could not do anything against, died just like that.

Silence. In the pin-drop silence, the remaining Larkin and Myron looked at the vortex in astonishment. This huge vortex was still churning slowly as if nothing could make it change.

Merlin closed his eyes. Perhaps the others did not notice it but he could feel that at the moment of Marta's death, the power of the vortex increased a little. This vortex represented the power of the entire Void Zone. In other words, when Marta died, the power of the Void Zone increased again.

The Void Zone was born from the Void Zone, and their power belonged to the power of the Void Zone. A powerful Golden Ray Armor like Marta would return to the Void Zone after his death, so the power of the Void Zone would increase.

Furthermore, the Vestigial Tribe should have been destroyed but due to some accidents, these three Golden Ray Warriors had escaped the control of the Void Zone and became immortal and could only be imprisoned. They could not be killed, so their power naturally could not return to the Void Zone.

At that time, Merlin seemed to understand that it was a repeating cycle. This was the only way for a world to survive, and for the Latitude Cosmos to develop healthily.

Although he took great risks to come to the origin of the natural order, it was not fruitless. His was enlightened time and time again, which made his Illusory World more stable and stronger. Although he had failed to materialize illusions into reality, he could gradually become stronger step by step. Perhaps, there would be a metamorphosis in the end.

Merlin was not in a hurry now. He still had a lot of time and could make the Illusory World grow stronger. Even if it took hundreds of millions of years, he always had the hope of the Illusory World turning illusions into reality.

After Marta's death, Larkin and Myron glanced at each other but there was no sadness in their eyes as if they had expected this to happen. This was the origin of the natural order, the source of the power of the Void Zone. If would be strange if they could easily control the origin of the natural order and successfully control it.

"Marta died. Do we still try?"

"Of course, we do. Larkin, haven't you always been waiting for this day?"

Larkin and Myron looked at each other. They did not have a trace of fear at all. Perhaps death was a relief to them instead. Furthermore, they were acting for the long-cherished wish of the Vestigial Tribe.

"Haha, that's right. We're Golden Ray Warriors. We're soldiers who never yield. Even if it's the will of the Void Zone, it'll never break us. Let's go, together!"

Larkin and Myron flew into the huge vortex without hesitation. The golden light on their bodies vaguely formed to giant figures. The surrounding power of the natural order was pushed away by the powerful force, forming two vacuum areas.

"Boom."

The entire vortex trembled violently. The originally slow churning vortex slowly stopped, just like when Marta had entered it earlier.

Once the vortex stagnated, the entire origin of the natural order shook. The power of the natural order was like water, slowly boiling up. The threads in the power of the natural order seemed as if they were about to snap.

This was a sign of the Void Zone collapsing. Merlin was not clear at this time in the origin of the natural order but in the outside world, the entire Void Zone had undergone great changes.

The Void Zone without time and space began to shake slightly. Some small and barren dimensions even began to fall apart for no reason, and some weak civilizations were horrified. They did not know what was happening. It was just like the end of the world.

At this time, outside the gateway of the natural order, the remaining six Emperor-level existences also felt the turmoil in the Void Zone. With their sensitivity to the power of the natural order, they could instantly sense the change.

"Something has happened to the origin of the natural order."

"The origin of the natural order is the core of the entire Void Zone. Could those three Vestigial Tribe warriors and that mysterious Merlin pose a threat to the origin of the natural order?"

"Don't worry, it's just a little shake. The three great warriors were the strongest force of the Vestigial Tribe, and a problem the Vestigial Tribe left behind when they had escaped the control of the Void. Now, they dared to enter the origin of the natural order. That's clearly a suicide. Rest assured, soon, the three great warriors will return to the Void Zone, and it will be calm again. However, the only variable is Merlin. Until now, we still don't know why the Void Zone had rejected Merlin."

These six Emperor-level existences had a high status. As avatars of the origin of the natural order, they knew more secrets than anyone else. They were the ones who had imprisoned the three great warriors in the beginning because they were a problem without a solution. They could only treat the symptoms instead of the root cause. The three great warriors were a problem left behind by the Vestigial Tribe. They should have died along with the demise of the Vestigial Tribe long ago. That was the most perfect ending.

However, the three great warriors had survived successfully, and even the Thirty-six Emperors were helpless. They had already escaped the control of the Void Zone. Fortunately, the influence of the three great warriors was not big, so the Void Zone did not care about them either.

However, they dared to enter the origin of the natural order, which was to seek their own deaths. The six Emperor-level existences let the Void Zone settle the affairs with the Vestigial Tribe instead and make the Void Zone complete again.

However, the Thirty-six Emperors could not see through Merlin. As avatars of the origin of the natural order, they could not peer into Merlin's secret. This made them look at the gateway of the natural order with a hint of worry. Perhaps, the only variable was Merlin…

…

Merlin did not know that he had become the only variable in the hearts of the six Emperor-level existences. Currently, Merlin was attentively staring at the huge vortex.

Once the vortex stopped rotating, the entire Void Zone would be affected. The origin of the natural order had already experienced monstrous waves as if it could no longer be controlled.

"Crack."

Another burst of noise sounded, and the stagnant vortex began to slowly turn again, carrying the force of the entire Void Zone. Nothing could stop it.

A trace of sadness appeared on Merlin's face. He knew what it meant for the vortex to start spinning again. It meant that Larkin and Myron had failed to control the origin of the natural order.

Perhaps they had already expected this to happen. How would the core of the entire Void Zone be so easily controlled by them? However, whether it was a glimmer of hope or death, it was also a relief for them.

"Boom."

The vortex suddenly increased in speed, and the boundless power instantly crushed Larkin and Myron. The vortex became even more powerful after the death of the two Golden Ray Warriors and their powers returned to the Void Zone.

With the death of the three Golden Ray Warriors, the Void Zone had lost the final trace of the Vestigial Tribe bloodline. The "plan" that the Void Zone had since the beginning could be said to have come to a perfect ending. Currently, the Void Zone seemed to be as strong as the most powerful moment it was after the ancient war. The surging power of the natural order combined with the vortex had also increased in speed.

Black spots passed through the vortex one by one and quickly disappeared without a trace. After the ancient war, in front of the powerful origin of the natural order, how could those beings or forces that had reversed natural order resist?

The disappearance of those black spots symbolized their death and destruction!

"There are times when a world goes out of control but in the end, the world will always restore calm and stability…"

Merlin felt something in his heart. He watched as the vortex speed increased and the black spots gradually disappeared. Then, he suddenly felt a sense of danger.

"Swoosh."

Merlin raised his head, and looked at the black area that represented him. This black area, which was still expanding, had become a very obvious area within the origin of the natural order.

Now, this black area was rapidly approaching the huge vortex.

Merlin was shocked. He had done nothing, and stayed in the origin of the natural order but why was the black area getting larger?

"Is it my existence that's causing the greatest damage to the order?"

Merlin glanced at the Illusory World around him. In the past couple of hundred years, the Illusory World had expanded countless times. As a result, its power had become more powerful. Even if it still could not materialize illusion to reality, its ability to interfere with the material world had increased a lot, making it impossible for the surrounding power of the natural order to approach Merlin.

Perhaps, as Merlin thought, the existence of the Illusory World itself was the greatest destruction to order. For the Void Zone, Merlin's Illusory World posed a far greater threat than the Vestigial Tribe.

In the beginning, the Vestigial Tribe was born because the Void Zone wanted balance. However, Merlin's Illusory World was not controlled by the Void Zone. From its birth, it was the greatest threat to the Void Zone.

The reason why Merlin was not dealt with before was simply because the Void Zone wanted to recover the power of the three Golden Ray Warriors. Now that the Void Zone was at its peak, it was only natural that Merlin, the "unstable" factor should be thoroughly solved.
