Chapter 755: Breaking the Seal!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The behemoth Atlan Dimension appeared peaceful as usual. Despite there had not been any problem from the Atlan Dimension for a long time, the security over this dimension remained extremely stringent.

At least, there would always be a few Honored Legends monitoring it. They dared not let down their guard. For the past hundreds and thousands of years, they remained vigilant.

"Did you hear? Our Spell Caster civilization started a large-scale battle with the Rock Tribe civilization. This is going to be an extermination war. Even the great Wizard Augustus has gone on the offensive. With the joint forces of Setoh Arcane City and Augustus Arcane City, I'm sure they'll crush the Rock Tribe to smithereens."

"According to rumors, it seems like an oversight on our part. I heard that the Rock Tribe managed to slip into the Atlan Dimension and established contact. Then again, the Atlan Dimension has been guarded by us, and the seal is still intact. How did the Rock Tribe manage to enter?"

These were the Great Legends who stood watch over the Atlan Dimension. They truly did not comprehend how did the Rock Tribe manage to enter the Atlan Dimension under their stringent guard.

Perhaps, the Rock Tribe did not enter the Atlan Dimension but instead, the Atlans used some special trick to allow someone to leave the Atlan Dimension and enter the Void Zone, who then established contact with the Rock Tribe?

Regardless of who was the instigator, the extermination war between the Spell Caster civilization and the Rock Tribe civilization stemmed from the Atlan civilization. Hence, these Legendary Wizards who were tasked with guarding the Atlan Dimension dared not lower their guard for a single moment.

All of them were Legendary Wizards who had experienced the first war against the Atlan civilization. Naturally, they knew how terrifying the Atlan civilization was. If the Atlans broke the seal and charged out of the Atlan Dimension, then the entire Spell Caster civilization would be facing an unimaginable disaster.

"Hum."

Not too far away from these Legendary Wizards, a holy light appeared out of nowhere. The holy aura was not at all furtive, so the Legendary Wizards immediately noticed it.

"Is it divine energy? Who is it?"

These Legendary Wizards immediately sat up straight. Their Mind Power swept out and saw a figure emerging from the holy light. His body contained endless authority.

"A god? This is bad, quickly inform Arcane Wizard Ceci…"

Upon seeing this holy light, the Honored Legends were astounded. This was the aura of divine energy. A god had descended. The relations between the God Alliance and the Spell Caster civilization had never been favorable. They were sworn enemies since the beginning of time. If not for Augustus keeping guard over them, some gods of the God Alliance might be tempted to strike.

"Purify."

Before these few Honored Legends could deliver the message, the figure amid the holy light gently waved his hand. A ray of holy light shrouded the Honored Legends. Despite them being respected Honored Legends who had consolidated ultimate Maxims, underneath this blanket of holy light, their ultimate Maxims shattered instantly.

A few Honored Legends died in the blink of an eye!

"The Atlan Dimension."

The mysterious figure looked at the huge dimension before his eyes. There was the unmistakable seal of the three great Arcane Wizards above it.

"The Spell Caster civilization, the war begins. Haha…"

The mysterious figure emitted a rich holy light. The next moment, it transformed into an earth-shattering impact that landed heavily on the seal of the Atlan Dimension.

Immediately, water-like ripples appeared on the surface of the seal and spread outward rapidly. However, this force was simply too tremendous to be borne. The seal over the entire dimension began to crack, and an anomalous aura began to leak out of those cracks.

In Ceci Arcane City, Arcane Wizard Ceci's eyes shot open. His face paled drastically as he let out a low growl. "Lord God of Light? How could it be the Lord God of Light?"

Arcane Wizard Ceci took a giant leap and disappeared without a trace.

"Swish."

Arcane Wizard Ceci mobilized the power of the natural order, and arrived at the Atlan Dimension almost instantly. However, he glanced at the Atlan Dimension and saw that the seal had been loosened. He would not be able to replace the seal by himself.

Furthermore, there was an ultimate existence before him – the Lord God of Light wrapped in holy light!

"Lord God of Light, you were injured by the three great Arcane Wizards. You should be hibernating for at least a thousand years. How can you appear here?"

The three great Arcane Wizards, including Arcane Wizard Ceci, had already made plans for the worst-case scenario. The combination between the Rock Tribe and the Atlan civilization would not be rudimentary.

Therefore, Arcane Wizard Ceci remained in Ceci Arcane City. The reason was to guard against any possibility.

However, he did not expect that the Lord God of Light, which was not even considered as a possibility, would be involved. Nevertheless, he was now standing in front of Ceci, and had broken the seal over the Atlan Dimension.

"Yes, hibernate for a thousand years… Initially, I also thought that I'll be hibernating for a thousand years. However, your old rival has awakened!"

Recalling the scene back then, the Lord God of Light revealed a gush of enthusiasm in his eyes.

That scene was forever embedded in his mind. Back then, he was gravely injured. While he was hibernating, a Rock Tribe Progenitor and a mysterious person appeared in his Light Dimension.

Moreover, the mysterious person also retrieved a strand of divinity. If it was an ordinary strand of divinity, it would have been useless. As the Lord God of Light who founded a god organization, even the divinity of an upper rank god did not affect him.

However, the divinity held by this mysterious person was the divinity of a Lord God!

The Lord God of Light was extremely astonished. Among the eight largest god organizations, he did not hear of any Lord God who was killed. In addition, to reap the divinity of a Lord God, how confounding was such an event? How could he not hear about it at all?

Nevertheless, that was the truth. It was truly a Lord God's divinity. With this strand of divinity, the Lord God of Light's injury was no longer an issue, and he recovered soon enough.

However, before they left, the Rock Tribe Progenitor and the mysterious person had discussed with the Lord God of Light. If the Lord God of Light could break the seal over the Atlan Dimension and waited until the Atlan civilization charged out of the Atlan Dimension, then more Lord God divinity would be given to him as a reward.

For the Lord God of Light, this was an irresistible temptation. A Lord God's divinity was incredibly rare! In addition, the Spell Caster civilization was already a thorn in his flesh. If not for the disunity between the God Alliance and the willfulness of the eight largest god organizations, he would have attacked the Spell Caster civilization long ago.

Hence, this was an opportunity for him. With the combination of the Rock Tribe, the Atlan civilization, and the Lord God of Light, they would indeed occupy an advantage.

The only thing that puzzled the Lord God of Light was how did the Atlan Dimension obtain a Lord God's divinity? Furthermore, it seemed like there was not just a little bit but a lot more.

Was there a Lord God in the Atlan Dimension?

However, this thought was shot down by the Lord God of Light immediately. If the Atlan civilization could kill a Lord God, why would they be trapped in the Atlan Dimension by the Spell Caster civilization indefinitely?

All of these, the Lord God of Light did not have to hide or rather, the Spell Caster civilization that had suppressed the Atlan Dimension for thousands of years probably knew the true abilities of the Atlan civilization better than him.

"Ceci, doesn't the Spell Caster civilization know how fearful is the Atlan civilization? I'm really curious, what other secrets are contained in the Atlan Dimension? They possess a Lord God's divinity. With this divinity, my injury is nothing but a scratch! Haha, now that the seal over the Atlan Dimension has loosened, and the Lord God Organization will be going all out, the Spell Caster civilization will be fighting a three-sided war! What more can you do?"

The Lord God of Light was gleeful. This was a plan that had been secretly hatched by the Rock Tribe and the Atlan civilization for a long time. It was utterly perfect as they had considered any change.

Therefore, no matter how they planned it, the three sides would gain the upper hand. The only variable was the seal over the Atlan Dimension. The two Rock Tribe Progenitors must keep the two Arcane Wizards occupied. Only this way, the Lord God of Light would succeed.

Right now, the seal was beginning to loosen. Their plans had succeeded!

"The Atlan civilization and the Rock Tribe…"

Arcane Wizard Ceci now understood what had happened. Somehow, the Atlan civilization had found a way to leave the Atlan Dimension. Perhaps, only a small number of people could leave, and they must have paid a huge price. After all, the seal of three great Arcane Wizards was not just a pretty display.

Nonetheless, this small number was already enough considering the cunningness of the Atlan civilization. Moreover, the Spell Caster civilization was surrounded by its enemies – whether it was the Lord God of Light or the Rock Tribe where both were situated near to the Spell Caster civilization. This time, the Spell Caster civilization was caught in a crisis!

"There's still a chance, seal!"

Arcane Wizard Ceci roared mightily and the entire Arcane City shook. The power of the natural order began to surge and headed directly toward the seal over the Atlan Dimension.

"Hehe, do you think it'll be so simple? My role is to contain you. Even if the Atlan civilization breaks out of the seal, you won't be able to stop them!"

The Lord God of Light sneered. Then he wielded the power of the natural order to block Arcane Wizard Ceci. Both their abilities were similarly matched, so with the Lord God of Light obstructing him, Arcane Wizard Ceci could not reinforce the seal.

Meanwhile, the Atlan Dimension seemed to be moving. Since they were involved in the discussion, the Atlan civilization must have been prepared. From the moment the seal was loosened, they began to attack it frantically.

"Boom."

Suddenly, the residual seal over the Altan Dimension vibrated violently. From the inside, a terrifying aura wafted out, almost like an imitation of an ultimate existence.

However, it was not as petrifying as an ultimate existence who could mobilize the power of the natural order.

Instead, it was a huge white light that contained inconceivable destructive powers. Even a powerful Lord who saw this light would probably find themselves at wit's end.

Under the bombardment of this huge ray of light, the loosened seal finally shattered into pieces. From inside the Atlan Dimension, a gigantic, pitch-black warship emerged, exuding a chilling aura.

The Atlan Dimension had finally charged out of their dimension!

Chapter 756: The War of Destiny!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

This black warship was not the same as the empire-level warship Merlin possessed. Even a Great Lord would pale significantly at the sight of this warship.

This was because it was a dimension-level warship!

The Altan civilization excelled at building warships. Each warship was equivalent to an entire civilization. A single warship could pass down its legacy independently.

Warships were classified into city-level, empire-level, and dimension-level. There were rumors about a void-level warship as well but the Atlan civilization had never been able to build it.

City-level warships were comparable to ordinary Legends whereas empire-level warships could annihilate Honored Legends. As for dimension-level warships, they were feared even by the Great Lords.

Other than the ultimate existences, the Atlan civilization's dimension-level warship was nearly invincible.

Right now, this was a dimension-level warship, and also the most powerful warship to date. Otherwise, they would not have been able to break open the loosened seal.

Behind the dimension-level warship, more warships began to pour out of the dimension. Soon, they occupied the entrance of the dimension, and filled the entire Void Zone.

The Lord God of Light stood in front of the Atlan Dimension. With a malicious glint in his eyes, he spoke, "Ceci, the glorious days of the Spell Caster civilization is over. Faced against the Atlan civilization, do you think the Spell Casters can still prevail?"

Indeed, the only ace of the Spell Caster civilization was the three great Ultimate Arcane Wizards. However, the three great Ultimate Arcane Wizards were currently occupied, and could not subjugate the Atlan civilization. A thousand years ago, the Spell Caster civilization already tasted the fearsome prowess of the Atlan civilization's warships. That was a brutal war which left a deep impression on every Legendary Wizard. They would not be able to stop the Atlan civilization with just Ceci Arcane City.

Thinking along these lines, Arcane Wizard Ceci immediately made a judgment call. He lamented into the air, "The Atlan civilization has broken through the seal. A brutal war is upon us… This is the most critical moment for the Spell Caster civilization. The three great Arcane Cities cannot suffer any more loss. Retreat, retreat immediately. Rendezvous with Augustus and Setoh!"

Currently, the only thing Arcane Wizard Ceci could do was preserve the strength of the Spell Caster civilization and rendezvous with Augustus and Setoh. They would have to assemble the entire Spell Caster civilization together with the three great Arcane Cities to face this crisis.

…

"Boom."

Another Rock Tribe dimension exploded. The Rock Tribe had already lost more than half their dimensions. This was never seen before loss. The Rock Tribe was in a precarious situation.

Once all the Rock Tribe dimensions were destroyed, even if the two Progenitors did not die, there would not be any Rock Tribe civilization left in the Void Zone. The two Progenitors would be alone.

"No, we can't continue any longer… Quickly go and ask, has the Lord God of Light and the Atlan civilization succeeded?"

Currently, Progenitor Zenmo's eyes were bloodshot. He could no longer endure such a large scale of destruction. Although this was a collaboration between the Atlan civilization, Rock Tribe, and Light God Organization, the truth was, the Rock Tribe suffered the most damage.

"Boom."

Suddenly, a huge dimension popped into the peaceful Void Zone. Any familiar Spell Caster would realize that it was the mysterious Ceci Arcane City.

"Ceci? Why is he here?"

"Isn't Ceci standing guard over the Atlan Dimension? What had happened that he even moved Ceci Arcane City all the way here?"

Seeing Ceci Arcane City's appearance in the Void Zone stunned Augustus and Setoh. Both were more than enough to handle the Rock Tribe hence it was not necessary for Arcane Wizard Ceci to come.

So, Ceci's appearance must not be accompanied by stellar news.

"Swish."

Arcane Wizard Ceci arrived beside Augustus and Setoh. He shook his head in despair. "Retreat now. The Atlan civilization has charged past the seal and will be arriving soon. The three great Arcane Cities need to join forces!"

"What? How did the Atlan civilization manage to break open the dimension seal? With their abilities, this is impossible. Ceci, what happened?"

Arcane Wizard Setoh asked, flustered. Currently, their war against the Rock Tribe was smooth-sailing. They had severely damaged the Rock Tribe. Retreating now would be too beneficial for the Rock Tribe.

"The Lord God of Light, he's awakened!"

"The Lord God of Light?"

Augustus and Setoh did not expect that their close brush with victory was obstructed by the Lord God of Light, of all beings. Subsequently, Ceci repeated everything he knew to them.

Even at this moment, they could hardly believe it. How would the Atlan civilization obtain a Lord God's divinity?

Without the Lord God of Light, the Atlan civilization would not be able to break open the seal. Now, the Atlan civilization had returned to the Void Zone. No one had forgotten the brutal war that had transpired a thousand years ago. All of them deeply understood the horror that could be unleashed by the Atlan civilization.

"Very well, we'll retreat. If my speculation is correct, the gods of the Light God Organization would also be attacking the Spell Caster civilization with frenzy. Give up! We'll give up on the numerous dimensions of the Atlan civilization, Rock Tribe, and Light God Organization, and assemble the three great Arcane Cities. This is the most critical moment faced by the Spell Caster civilization since we've stepped into the Void Zone!"

Finally, the number one contender of the Spell Caster civilization, Augustus had decided. Faced with a three-sided war, the Spell Caster civilization had already lost half the war. They were being attacked on all sides. All they could do now was gather their strength. Perhaps, there would still be a trace of hope.

Hence, on the orders of the three great Arcane Wizards, all the Legendary Wizards retreated.

…

Three months later, the three great Arcane Cities had been assembled. Almost two-thirds of the dimensions belonging to the Spell Caster civilization had been abandoned. All the Spell Casters stood guard around the three dimensions that housed the three great Arcane Cities.

This was the center of the Spell Caster civilization as well as its strongest power!

Merlin stayed in Setoh Arcane City. Every day, all sorts of war news would break out. He could see that the situation was worsening. The Atlan civilization, Light God Organization, and the Rock Tribe had completely joined forces. They were unstoppable on every level. The ordinary Spell Casters were completely unable to withstand.

"The key is the Atlan civilization!"

Merlin glanced at the Atlan civilization's empire-level warship in his ring. He clearly understood the true fear contained in this empire-level warship. The martial arts robots it produced were comparable to ordinary Legends.

Currently, he was only lacking the materials to produce more martial arts robots. However, the Atlan civilization had them. Besides, the Atlan civilization also had a more powerful dimension-level warship, which might even be able to product martial arts robots comparable to Honored Legends.

This was the strength of the Atlan civilization. Although producing martial arts robots comparable to Honored Legends came with a myriad of prerequisites, but once all of them were fulfilled and without any disrupting force, the Atlan civilization was almost invincible.

In the thousand years that they were suppressed in the Atlan Dimension, most probably, the Atlan civilization had accumulated countless resources. Moreover, with the protection of two Rock Tribe Progenitors and the Lord God of Light, the Atlan civilization did not have to fear the three great Arcane Wizards of the Spell Caster civilization.

Therefore, the Atlan civilization was close to invincible now. On the other hand, the motivation of the Spell Caster civilization had plunged to an all-time low.

"The key lies in the Atlan civilization. As long as their warship stays intact, the Spell Caster civilization has no hope of winning."

The three Arcane Wizards were discussing with the twenty-eight Lords.

These twenty-eight Lords constituted every single Lord of the Spell Caster civilization, and far exceeded the era back in the Molta Empire. If it was just the Rock Tribe or even added with the Light God Organization, the Spell Caster civilization would not be afraid. These twenty-eight Great Lords had absolute confidence.

However, there was now the Atlan civilization. Faced against the dimension-level warships of the Atlan civilization, even these Great Lords were extremely fearful. After all, back when they discovered the Atlan civilization the first time, many Great Lords were killed in that war.

"Everyone, we don't have much time. The Atlan civilization has been preparing for a long time. Although they were kept sealed in the Atlan Dimension, they had been preparing the legendary void-level warship.

"We've only heard rumors about the so-called void-level warship. According to rumors, that's the highest-level warship of the Atlan civilization. Once it's built, it can twist the powers of the natural order, which is almost comparable to the ultimate existences, and could possibly pose a threat to the ultimate existences. If that happens, whether it's the Spell Caster civilization or countless other civilizations, none of us will stand a chance."

Upon this statement, the three great Arcane Wizards quietened. Indeed, there was news from the Atlan civilization that they were currently building the legendary void-level warship. This was a terrifying warship that completely overshadowed the dimension-level warship.

In the Atlan Dimension, resources were limited, so maybe they could not build the void-level warship. However, once they had entered the limitless Void Zone, everything was possible.

"Doesn't the Rock Tribe and the Lord God of Light know the threat posed by the Atlan civilization? If they truly built a void-level warship, could those two stand against them?"

"Hehe, they're currently sheep strutting around in tiger skin 1 . Before the Spell Caster civilization is destroyed, they won't think of anything else."

While the Great Lords and the Arcane Wizards were engaging in discussion, in the frigid and silent Void Zone, fleets of warships, Rock Creatures, and Light Believers encased in holy light were slowly approaching the three great Arcane Cities.

"Boom."

A terrifying ray shot through the Void Zone, illuminating its surrounding dimensions with its massive power of destruction, landed heavily on a dimension.

This was a huge dimension but in the blink of an eye, disintegrated into dust. Millions of Spell Casters died in an instant.

"Swoosh."

The three great Arcane Wizards raised their heads abruptly. The Atlan civilization was announcing their arrival!

"Everyone, there's another way, that's to join forces with other civilizations such as the Tree Tribe civilization, the Giant Tribe civilization, the Feather Tribe civilization, and so on. All of them also have a clash of ideology with the God Alliance and the Rock Tribe civilization. Although we need to join forces with other civilization, now isn't the time as they've arrived. At least, we must show our formidable prowess and stabilize the situation. Only this way, the other civilizations might agree to join forces with us."

Augustus paused, and looked around with a stern expression. Loudly, he declared, "Now, it's time for the Spell Caster civilization to demonstrate its true prowess. No matter what, remember that we already defeated the Atlan civilization once. This time, we can still defeat them again!"

Augustus' tone was assertive. Joining forces with other civilizations was the battle strategy agreed by the three great Arcane Wizards. However, before asking for help, they had to first prove their worth.

To prove the worth of the Spell Caster civilization, they would have to stabilize the situation and not be defeated by the Atlan civilization, Rock Tribe civilization, and Lord God Organization in a short time.

Therefore, this war was destined to be unimaginably brutal!

Chapter 757: Confrontation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The pitch-black Void Zone was crowded.

There were Rock Creatures, Light Believers, Spell Casters, and the most conspicuous of all, fleets of ice-cold jet-black warships. In terms of numbers, however, the Spell Casters seemed to have the upper hand.

"Rumble."

Suddenly, the doors of the ice-cold jet-black warships opened. From the inside, burly robots with powerful auras surged out. Every robot emitted an aura comparable to an ordinary Legend.

Moreover, on the few larger warships, even more powerful robots emerged. The robots produced by the dimension-level warships were comparable to Honored Legends.

Soon, the space surrounding the confrontation was tightly packed with robots. Seeing these dark martial arts robots before their eyes, all the Spell Casters present could not help but suck in a sharp breath. Such a scene would be forever etched in their minds.

Back when the three great Arcane Wizards accidentally broke open the seal over the Atlan Dimension, a brutal war ensued. Dense formations of robots and fleets of powerful warships fired light cannons mercilessly. Several Lords were killed during that time.

Many had thought that they would not witness such a scene ever again in their lives but unexpectedly, they were back for a second encounter.

Merlin also led a squad. He was observing these Atlan civilization warships. Compared to the empire-level warship he obtained from the Origin Lord, there seemed to be some changes… However, the changes were purely external. He was quite sure that the essence remained unchanged.

As for the martial arts robots, Merlin was extremely familiar with them, especially the martial arts robots produced by the empire-level warships.

The dimension-level warship, on the other hand, was Merlin's first encounter. Currently, in his spatial ring, there was also an empire-level warship. Despite having sufficient energy for the warship, he lacked the necessary materials to manufacture martial arts robots. Thus, he was not able to produce more martial arts robots. All he could produce were ordinary robots.

In this war, the ordinary robots were completely useless.

Furthermore, Merlin did not even consider mobilizing the warship. After all, the Atlan civilization possessed even more warships, and had more understanding of them. Employing an Atlan civilization warship to defeat the Atlan civilization certainly would not end well.

This was unless Merlin's warship outnumbered the Atlan civilization. However, that would be impossible, judging by the dense formation of warships scattered throughout the Void Zone. At the very least, there were a hundred warships, not including those that were still emerging from the Atlan Dimension.

Basically, except for the ultimate existences, the Atlan civilization was the most powerful among them. The only shortfall of the Atlan civilization was that they did not have an ultimate existence.

Nonetheless, with the protection of the two Rock Tribe Progenitors as well as the Lord God of Light, this shortfall was negated.

The three great Arcane Wizards stood quietly in the Void Zone as they surveyed the huge army before them. The number of Rock Creatures dispatched was painfully small as the previous war had already damaged its foundation. All that was left in this war were the two Progenitors and a handful of Lord-level Rock Creatures.

Harming an ultimate existence was incredibly difficult. Even when the three great Arcane Wizards had surrounded and attacked the Lord God of Light, he was only slightly injured.

With three ultimate existences against two, they only had a minimal advantage. Unless all three great Arcane Wizards were as powerful as Augustus, they would not be able to inflict harm on the Rock Tribe.

In addition, there was the Lord God of Light. Hence, the three great Arcane Wizards would be completely engaged. They would have to rely on their many years of experience.

Both sides knew the importance of the first battle. Otherwise, the Spell Caster civilization would not have gathered all its strength.

If the Spell Caster civilization was defeated in this battle, then the Lord God of Light would most probably enlist the help of other god organizations in the God Alliance to eradicate the Spell Caster civilization.

If the Spell Caster civilization managed to gain an upper hand, then it would buy them some precious time to recruit other life-type civilizations to fight the Atlan civilization, Rock Tribe, and Light God Organizations.

Hence, this battle was crucial for both sides. There was no room for mistakes.

"Finally, this day had come. The last time we fought the Atlan civilization, I was merely an ordinary Legend. Now, however, I've become a five-Maxim Great Legend!"

Teacher Zado tightened his fist. The five Maxims on his body gradually appeared above his head. One of the Maxims even showed faint signs of near transformation.

Legend Zado did not want the war with the Atlan civilization to break out. However, at this juncture, it was out of his hands. This was not just a civilization war or a tribe war but the most critical war in the history of the Spell Caster civilization, and destined to be the most brutal.

Other than the Legends from the three great Arcane Cities, there was also a special group of Spell Casters. Each of them exuded a powerful aura that converged into sequences of storms in the Void Zone.

These Legendary Wizards were the highly despised plunderers among the Spell Caster civilization. Usually, they plundered dimensions, and killed ordinary Legendary Wizards, so they were despised by many.

Nevertheless, faced with such a critical battle in the civilization war, they still obeyed the commands of the three great Arcane Wizards and fought alongside them. Although the plunderers were despicable, their combat skills were much superior to the ordinary Legends.

Among them, there were also a few Honored Legends and even a Lord!

This Lord was called the Bloodriver Lord. According to rumors, because of the amount of bloodshed and plundering he had committed, all the Maxims he consolidated were blood-red.

He was the only Lord who was born among the plunderers. Nonetheless, Bloodriver Lord was utterly terrifying. He had consolidated a total of four ultimate Maxims, the same number as the Nightmare Lord.

However, even the Nightmare Lord was wary of the Bloodriver Lord.

According to more rumors, every dimension passed through by the Bloodriver Lord was bathed in a sea of crimson light. All those dimensions were left completely lifeless. Hence, very few Wizards were willing to associate with the Bloodriver Lord.

Nevertheless, the Bloodriver Lord was now one of the twenty-eight Lords who had joined the war.

The fact that even the plunderers were conscripted proved that the Spell Caster civilization had truly amassed its maximum strength.

"Haha. Setoh, Augustus, and Ceci. From today onward, the Spell Caster civilization will go down in history as one of the many short-lived civilizations in the Void Zone. The Spell Caster civilization had merely entered the Void Zone for three thousand years. How dare you try to occupy such a vast expanse of dimensions?"

The two Rock Tribe Progenitors sneered. In terms of history, unquestionably, the Spell Casters were the youngest civilization. They had only just stepped foot into the Void Zone three thousand over years ago but had managed to occupy a vast expanse of dimensions, to the point that the Rock Tribe had almost run out of living space.

Throughout the billions and trillions of years in the Void Zone, the Spell Caster civilization was the only one, the most miraculous civilization!

"Is that so? Becoming history? Perhaps, it wouldn't be the Spell Caster civilization that becomes history, but I'm sure, the Rock Tribe will become history!"

A murderous aura flared on Augustus' body. He currently held immense loathing against the Rock Tribe. Nevertheless, even if the three great Arcane Wizards were to jointly attack the two Rock Tribe Progenitors, they would still be able to escape easily.

However, Augustus was decided on one thing. If the Spell Caster civilization survived this threat, then they would annihilate the Rock Tribe civilization, no matter what the cost. Even if they would have to bear the risk of payback from these two Rock Tribe Progenitors, the Rock Tribe civilization had to be annihilated.

"Hum hum hum."

Suddenly, rays of light began to glow on the jet-black warships. All the Spell Casters could almost sense the terrifying power contained within.

The war was starting!

Chapter 758: War Begins

"Boom."

A massive beam shot through the Void Zone. In just the blink of an eye, a stunning flash of light landed before a Spell Caster squad.

No one expected that the Atlans would launch such a sudden attack. Even the three great Arcane Wizards could not react in time. Hence, they could only watch as the light beam slammed violently into one of the Legend Squads.

"Chi."

There were no lucky survivors. The squad consisted of more than a dozen ordinary Legends in addition to an Honored Legend. All of them tried to consolidate their Maxims.

However, they were completely unable to withstand the impact. Under this light beam, they were immediately turned into vapor. Over a dozen Legends were instantly reduced into ashes.

Silence. The entire battlefield was incomparably silent. Seeing that destructive light beam, those Spell Casters who had already known of the fearsome strength of the Atlan civilization were reminded of the brutal war back in the days.

As for the Spell Casters who had never seen the Atlan civilization, they were completely stunned. Over a dozen Legendary Wizards and an Honored Legend were reduced into ashes in a single blow.

By this time, a simultaneous chill rose in everyone's hearts. The Atlan civilization was showing that they were just as powerful as before.

"Atlan civilization, die!"

The first to attack was Augustus. He was the number one contender in the Spell Caster civilization. Once enraged, how much more terrifying would he be? The entire Void Zone tremored, and the endless power of the natural order rained down.

However, the two Rock Tribe Progenitors also wielded their skills to resist Augustus. With the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards at the forefront, the war had finally erupted!

"Kill!"

Maxims filled the sky and headed toward the Rock Tribe, Light Believers, and Atlan civilization warships and robots. In an instant, Maxims permeated every direction. The explosion of power from the Spell Caster civilization was just as petrifying.

"Boom boom boom."

Countless Maxims were wielded consecutively and shredded a large portion of the martial arts robots. However, the Atlan civilization's warships stood far at the back. Beams of destructive power were attacking the Spell Caster squads incessantly.

The twenty-eight Lords were most courageous, and rushed directly toward the fearsome dimension-level warship. After all, these Lords had experienced the last war, so they knew that these warships were the crux of the Atlan civilization.

Before they became Lords, they were Honored Legends or perhaps ordinary Legends. Thus, a thousand year ago, all of them had experienced the war.

To some extent, the Spell Caster civilization was experienced at battling the Atlan civilization. Nevertheless, now, the experience was irrelevant. The most important point right now was power.

The Spell Caster civilization had Lords but at the same time, the Rock Tribe and Light Believers also had existences comparable to the Lords. Though they were fewer in numbers, they immediately went up to resist the Lords of the Spell Caster civilization.

Merlin's squad was also on the move. However, Merlin was carefully observing the Atlan civilization's warships and martial arts robots. He knew very well that it was useless to waste their effort on these robots.

After all, the martial arts robots were produced using precious minerals and energy. With sufficient materials and energy, the production could continue endlessly.

It was the warships that were the crux!

Merlin was very knowledgeable about the city-level warships, empire-level warships, and dimension-level warships. He had obtained a lot of information from his empire-level warship, so it did have some uses.

Therefore, with over a dozen ordinary Legends under his leadership, their conquest proceeded smoothly. Upon encountering the Rock Tribe or Light Believers, even if they were comparable to Honored Legends, the combination of Merlin's Mind Suppression and the power of a dozen ordinary Legends, their opponents were killed in an instant.

"Swish."

Finally, Merlin came before an empire-level warship. This was his first time challenging an empire-level warship controlled by the Atlan civilization.

When he saw that the main cannon of the empire-level warship was beginning to glow, Merlin, who was familiar with this type of warships, immediately knew that it would soon open fire.

"Maxim Chains!"

Merlin's Darkness Maxim immediately transformed into chains. Together with the Maxims of other Legendary Wizards, they tightly restrained the cannon nozzle of this warship.

"Boom."

Nonetheless, the huge cannon of the warship still exploded and ripped apart Merlin's Maxim Chains. Fortunately, the empire-level warship was also only about comparable or slightly more powerful than an Honored Legend, but there was not a substantial gap.

Hence, Merlin and a dozen Legendary Wizards were able to overcome this attack with ease.

"Hallucinate!"

Merlin took a deep breath, and wielded his Hallucinating spell. When his Mind Power extended toward the empire-level warship, he could feel an invisible force blocking his Mind Power.

Nevertheless, this protective layer was not very strong. With Merlin's additional push of Mind Power, he was immediately able to break through this protective layer and entered the warship brazenly.

In the warship, Merlin's Mind Power could see numerous Atlans. Physically, the Atlans were not much different compared to the Spell Casters. They were weaker and did not have any trace of elemental fluctuations on their bodies.

However, each of them had a role to play. Each being operated a section of the empire-level warship, allowing it to possess powers that could vanquish an Honored Legend.

"Hum."

Once Merlin's Mind Power had enveloped the entire place, these Atlans seemed to be unable to put up an ounce of resistance and were entrapped by the illusion.

"Boom."

Since the warship was no longer controlled by anyone, Merlin took this opportunity to wield his Maxim Chains once again. The Maxim Chains slammed heavily onto the empire-level warship and a spine-tingling power was released. However, due to some automatic defensive abilities on the warship, he was only able to strip past the first layer of defense.

Seemingly noticing the distress of this warship, another warship aimed directly at Merlin.

As the other warship was not too far away, Merlin could only retreat temporarily.

"Swish."

Merlin led his men to retreat a distance away. Although they did not manage to destroy a warship, Merlin was still overjoyed because he discovered that his Mind Power could be used against the Atlan civilization's warships.

"Only that defensive layer. Most probably, it can also resist Mind Power."

Merlin did not know whether the Atlans were able to research a method to resist Mind Power attacks, but for now, at least these empire-level warships were unable to resist Merlin's Mind Power attack.

While Merlin was exploring the use of Mind Power, the situation was turning less favorable within the Spell Caster civilization. Another Legend Squad was killed.

On the other hand, the Atlan civilization had not lost a single empire-level warship. They only lost a few city-level warships. Hence, it was not a significant loss for the Atlan civilization.

Fortunately, the Lords of the Spell Caster civilization kept the Atlan civilization's dimension-level warship occupied. Otherwise, these warships could kill an entire Spell Caster squad with a single cannon blast. They were the true Armageddon of the Spell Caster civilization.

Regardless, the Spell Caster civilization was still caught in a bad situation. Under the cover of the martial arts robots from the Atlan civilization, the Rock Tribe and Light Believers were pushing forward bit by bit, and gained the upper hand.

"Whoosh."

At this moment, an empire-level warship glowed brightly again. Merlin looked toward the direction that it was aimed. Sure enough, it was another ordinary Legend Squad.

Merlin was highly familiar with the empire-level warships. Once it began to charge, it must have a target locked down. If it was any other Legend Squad, Merlin would simply give them a forewarning and move on.

However, he saw a familiar silhouette in this Legend Squad that caused his heart to skip a beat.

"Teacher Zado!"

Among this squad was Legend Zado. At the moment, Legend Zado was completely unaware. His squad was battling against two Rock Creatures who were comparable to Honored Legends.

"No…"

Merlin and his squad immediately rushed forward. Still, the charging period of the empire-level warship was over. Any target that was locked down by the giant cannons would not be missed.

At this point, Merlin had no other ideas except using the Hallucinating spell.

"Hallucinate!"

An enormous Mind Power enveloped the empire-level warship, and the Atlans inside were swiftly entrapped in an illusion.

"Phew."

Merlin finally heaved a breath of relief. It was only at this moment that Legend Zado prickled up. His squad seemed to realize that they had been targeted by the warship. One after another, fearful expressions appeared on their faces.

However, they did not understand why the warship did not open fire.

"Merlin, you're here too?"

Instead, Legend Zado greeted Merlin.

Merlin smiled bitterly. He was just about to get rid of this empire-level warship when an intense surge of danger flared up in his senses.

"I've been locked down as a target?"

Merlin immediately noticed that two empire-level warships had locked him down. Moreover, they were situated even further away.

Merlin was already consuming his full energy to envelop this warship in an illusion. If he were to split his Mind Power, coupled with the distance, the burden on his Mind Power might probably exceed his abilities.

However, he had no other choice. He could only clench his teeth, and mobilized his Hallucinating spell. Otherwise, he would not be able to escape the attacks of the empire-level warships.

This was because the attack of one empire-level warship was already comparable to an Honored Legend. Hence, Merlin did not have the confidence that he could withstand the attacks of two warships at once. It would not be wise to face it head-on.

"Hallucinate!"

Merlin stretched out his Mind Power and swiftly entrapped all three warships in the illusion. However, this was the maximum limit of his abilities. Even his face was distorted in pain.

"I must escape quickly!"

Merlin knew that he could not hold on any longer. His Mind Power could neither withstand such a far distance nor sustain an illusion for three empire-level warships.

"Boom."

No one noticed that a huge beam had traveled from the depths of the Void Zone. It shot right across the Void Zone and headed toward Merlin's direction.

"Dimension-level warship…"

Merlin paled. Such a huge light beam and such a terrifying power, it could only be volleyed by the most sophisticated dimension-level warship of the Atlan civilization.

Due to its incredible speed, by the time Merlin's heart issued a warning, the light beam had already blasted out. The attack was simply aimed at a random area whereas Merlin and Zado's Legend Squads just happened to be in the vicinity.

"This is it…"

Merlin could sense the terrifying force contained in this light beam. He knew that even if he were a few folds more powerful, he would not be able to withstand this attack.

This was an attack that could not be withstood even by the Lords. It was the most terrifying warship hidden by the Atlan civilization, which could potentially tilt the balance of the war!

Chapter 759: Break Through, Illusory Heart!

Everyone could sense the destructive powers contained within that blinding light. Even Merlin gave up all hope at this point. Two Legend Squads would be reduced to ashes the next moment.

This was a terrifying war. No one was able to predict the dangers that lied ahead. Once danger came around the corner, it was inevitable.

At this moment, it felt like time stopped still. The hidden Atlan civilization warship was a dimension-level warship. This blast was intended to kill more Legendary Wizards, and tilt the balance of the war.

Before this beam of light, no one could possibly think of escaping because it was simply too fast for anyone to react in time.

"Purgatory Inferno!"

Suddenly, a frosty voice reverberated in everyone's ears. A silhouette, nestled between wedges of black and fiery red, was exceptionally familiar to almost all the Legendary Wizards.

The Blackfire Lord! The closest Lord to their vicinity was the Blackfire Lord. He immediately wielded his Maxims. Two Maxims combined to form an inferno-like blaze, far above the power of an average Honored Legend.

This was the power of a Lord!

"Boom."

Two mighty forces of power collided directly with one another. That blinding light packed a powerful penetrative force and pierced through the two Maxims wielded by the Blackfire Lord. Almost unrelentingly, it headed straight toward the Blackfire Lord.

Nevertheless, the Blackfire Lord was prepared. He gently waved his hand, and a huge casting tool appeared, with his Maxim avatar above it.

"Go!"

This was a life-preserving casting tool that the Blackfire Lord had spent countless years to construct. It could withstand one hit from a Lord. Therefore, he was not afraid of this light beam.

Nonetheless, he would lose a life-preserving casting tool.

"What are you waiting for?"

The Blackfire Lord roared loudly. Currently, the battlefield was extremely chaotic. Everywhere was filled with formidable Maxims and the light beams of the Atlan civilization warships.

This dimension-level warship could not be challenged by anyone below a Lord. Hence, even the Blackfire Lord had a difficult time resisting it. Fortunately, other Lords had noticed the position of this dimension-level warship and was quickly approaching.

"Phew."

Merlin's heart relaxed marginally. He continued to wield Hallucinating spell with his Mind Power to trap the Atlans in the three empire-level warships in the illusion. Therefore, he could only leave this place after Legend Zado's squad had left. Otherwise, the three empire-level warships were also tough to handle.

"Unfortunately, I still cannot gain enlightenment of the Illusory Heart. Otherwise, I can exert control over people's minds, like puppets. Then, we won't be so troubled. What am I lacking?"

For some time now, Merlin could sense that he was already very close to breaking through the Illusory Heart. However, he was still lacking kismet. As to what kind of kismet this was, he did not know either.

However, just as he was about to leave, an even stronger surge of danger prickled down his neck. He raised his head abruptly and saw that behind the first light beam was another scarier light.

"Teacher Blackfire!!!"

Merlin's heart lurched. The first beam was only barely blocked by the Blackfire Lord's life-preserving casting tool. This beam of light was even more terrifying than its predecessor. What else could he possibly use to deflect it?

It seemed like no power would be able to stop this terrifying beam of light anymore. In the blink of an eye, the light slammed directly onto the Darkness Maxim and Fire Maxim in front of the Blackfire Lord and easily tore them apart. Next, it struck the Blackfire Lord's body violently.

The Spell Casters' bodies, regardless of if they were Legends or Lords, were weak without the protection of Maxims. The light beam tore apart the Blackfire Lord's Maxims with ease and had turned him into ashes.

Silence. Deafening silence!

The entire battlefield fell silent in an instant. Along with that beam of light, the Blackfire Lord had disappeared. This was an incomparably ancient Lord who had grew in tandem with the Spell Caster civilization. He had witnessed the Spell Caster civilization when it was at its weakest, and then step by step, flourished into its current might.

He was a Great Lord. During peacetime or even a ruthless civilization war, they would not die. It was only when they faced the Atlan civilization previously had seen some Lords getting killed.

This time, upon re-encountering the Atlan civilization, another Lord had fallen!

Merlin stared dumb stricken at the Void Zone where the Blackfire Lord had perished. It was an empty patch with nothing left. Even an ultimate Maxim could not withstand that terrifying beam. A Lord was reduced into ashes.

"Teacher Blackfire…"

Merlin's mind replayed various scenes containing the Blackfire Lord. From the beginning of his Spell Caster journey to his achievement of becoming a Great Honored Legend today, three Wizards had impacted him the most.

The first was Old Man Etha back in Blackwater City. Without Old Man Etha, Merlin would not have embarked on the path to become a Spell Caster. Most probably, by now, he would have died like a Normie.

Therefore, despite the meager number of times he had met Old Man Etha, it could not be denied that in Merlin's heart, Old Man Etha was his first teacher!

The second Wizard was Wizard Leo. Back in the Dark Magic Region, Wizard Leo had not only given Merlin a lot of attention but even took the initiative to approach Abyss Fort to help Merlin obtain Darkness Heart. Then, before his death, he had passed on Darkness Eye to Merlin.

Without Darkness Eye, Merlin would have died multiple times in all kinds of dangerous situations. Hence, Wizard Leo's help would forever be remembered by Merlin.

The third Wizard was none other than the Blackfire Lord. In the beginning, this Great Lord merely admired Merlin or perhaps even treated him as an experiment. He wanted to see if Merlin could perfect the Mind Power system.

Merlin had perfected the preliminary stage of the Mind Power system. He had not gotten an opportunity to share this news with the Blackfire Lord, and now, the Blackfire Lord was dead.

Back when Merlin was trapped in the Slothful Beast world, if not for the Blackfire Lord who had managed to persuade Arcane Wizard Setoh, Merlin might have been trapped in the Slothful Beast world for the rest of his life.

However, all three of them were dead now. Old Man Etha died, Teacher Leo died, and now, the Blackfire Lord too!

At this moment, a spark of fury arose in Merlin's heart. Ever since he began cultivating his Mind Power and inch toward perfecting the Mind Power system, Merlin almost did not have an ounce of rage in him anymore. His control over his emotions was extremely high. There was almost nothing in this world that could cause him to lose control over his emotions and explode in fury.

This time, however, the Blackfire Lord had died right before his eyes, reduced into ashes. Furious emotions surged out. Merlin's Mind Power tremored vigorously and began to bubble frantically like a pot of boiling water.

A strange sensation appeared in Merlin's heart. His consciousness seemed detached from his body and he could distinctly sense the undulating rage contained in his emotions.

Besides rage, there was sorrow, regret, and a myriad of emotions. All of them were clearly reflected in his consciousness.

"Illusory Heart? Is this the power to control minds?"

Merlin mumbled under his breath. His consciousness was incomparably calm at this moment, almost like he was watching an unrelated person. The various emotions in his own heart appeared succinctly before his eyes. In fact, he could even control those emotions and the power of rage.

In his mind, the features of the Illusory Heart realm appeared instinctively. This was the Mind Control that Titus had told him about. How daunting was such an ability?

"Boom."

That huge light beam appeared once again. The dimension-level warship was hidden amid the darkness. As long as it existed, the Spell Caster civilization would sustain massive losses.

The dimension-level warship hidden behind the scenes could tilt the outcome of the war!

Although several Great Lords had been gradually approaching the warship, their distance was still far away. If this warship could wreck damage, by the time the Great Lords find the warship, the Spell Casters would have been grievously crippled.

Merlin gently shut his eyes and stood motionlessly in the Void Zone. His mannerisms attracted a lot of attention. Many Wizards even wondered if Merlin had lost his mind.

Faced with the threat of death, perhaps even the Honored Legends would go insane.

However, Merlin alone knew that his Mind Power was surging like a tidal wave. It was multiplying rapidly. The very moment he gained enlightenment of the Illusory Heart, his Mind Power seemed to increase at ten times speed. In the blink of an eye, his Mind Power had grown a hundred-fold.

How frightful was such a growth rate?

It was not surprising that Titus kept telling Merlin not to bother deliberately cultivating Mind Power. Once there was a breakthrough in the Hallucinating spells realm, upon enlightenment of the Illusory Heart realm, his Mind Power would increase at such a terrifying rate.

The vast Void Zone now became incomparably tiny in Merlin's eyes. His Mind Power extended incessantly and feverishly, almost enveloping dozens of Rock Creatures and Light Believers as well as more than ten Atlan civilization warships.

"Mind Control!"

At this moment, Merlin's Mind Power erupted. A daunting Mind Power, coupled with the unrivaled Illusory Heart realm exploded. No one had ever seen a Mind Power Master, especially a Ninth-level Mind Power Master, achieve such a formidable feat.

Merlin was now at the Ninth-level, a Mind Power Master who had achieved the Illusory Heart realm!

"Hum."

Suddenly, the faces of those who were encased by Merlin's Mind Power twitched slightly. Merlin could distinctly sense the myriad of emotions in their minds.

There was smugness, fear, fanatism, and so on. The Light Believers' unparalleled fanatical worship, the Rock Tribe's smugness, and the Atlans' calmness.

Various emotions appeared in Merlin's mind. At this moment, Merlin could almost become the master of all living beings. The mind was the master of all living beings, and all their minds had been controlled by Merlin!

Once Mind Power Masters achieved the Eighth-level Hallucinating spells' realm, they would become more powerful than their similar-level counterparts. Then, upon cultivating Mind Suppression, they would become even more powerful. Upon achieving the Ninth-level, which was the Illusory Heart realm, they would be terrifying!

There was another more apt description, invincible!

Chapter 760: Mind Control!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Merlin stood motionless in the Void Zone. With him at the center, other than the Spell Casters, all the remaining Rock Creatures, Light Believers, and Atlan civilization warships became hypnotized in a strange calm.

It was like everyone was turned into a statue. Time seemed to stop as everyone stopped moving.

Mind Control, the petrifying Mind Control. At this moment, no one within Merlin's Mind Power range could evade their fate. Merlin was their supreme master!

"Crazy, everyone goes crazy. The war has just begun!"

A chilling ruthlessness flashed across Merlin's eyes. With a wave of his hand, the warships driven by the Atlans turned their cannons around. The jet-black cannon nuzzles aimed directly at the Rock Tribe contenders and Light Believers beside them.

"Boom."

A violent cannon blast exploded. Rays of terrifying light beams shot across the Void Zone and impacted the Rock Creatures as well as the Light Believers.

At the same time, the Light Believers and Rock Creatures also shifted their attacks toward the Atlan civilization warships. Immediately, the battlefield descended into chaos.

"What's happening?"

"Infighting? Why would the Rock Creature and the Atlan civilization warships attack one another?"

"Terrifying, truly terrifying. The Atlan civilization warships are as hardy as turtle shells. The Rock Tribe lost three Honored Legend existences just to destroy one empire-level warship."

The Spell Caster civilization was stunned. Unexpectedly at such a crucial moment, the Rock Tribe, Light Believers, and Atlan civilization started to engage in an infighting, and fought ferociously. In just a few moments, the Rock Tribe had lost a few Honored Legend existences and dozens of ordinary Legend existences.

On the other hand, the Atlan civilization had lost two empire-level warships and five city-level warships. In terms of sheer numbers, the Rock Tribe and the Light Believers held the upper hand yet the Atlan civilization warships suffered the least.

This indirectly demonstrated the terror of the Atlan civilization's combat strength.

"Go ahead and kill, kill them all. Isn't war all about endless bloodshed?"

After advancing to the Illusory Heart realm, Merlin was able to control his opponents' minds. He was not crazed at the moment but extremely calm.

Once shrouded by his Mind Power, no one could resist his Mind Control. Currently, below the level of the Lords, Merlin was almost undefeatable!

"It's Mind Power! What a petrifying Mind Power!"

"The Rock Tribe, Light Believers, and Atlan civilization warships are all being mind-controlled. Is that Wizard Merlin's doing?"

"Legend Merlin? True, back then, he surpassed the civilization-level prodigies and is also a powerful Mind Power Master. How can a Mind Power Master become so petrifying?"

Finally, some Wizards began to notice something amiss and saw Merlin controlling the battlefield from above. That sweeping Mind Power was ultimately recognizable to the Spell Casters.

They immediately recalled Merlin's identity as a Mind Power Master. Nevertheless, at this moment, Merlin's Mind Power was like a vast ocean with unperceivable depth and immeasurable size. Moreover, his Mind Power could control the enemies. The so-called "infighting" between the Atlan civilization, Rock Tribe, and Light Believers had been orchestrated by Merlin.

Wherever Merlin was, chaos reigned. At this moment, almost no one on the battlefield could challenge Merlin. He had become the only vanquisher in the entire battlefield!

This was an Honored Legend as well as a Ninth-level Mind Power Master, who was able to control a battlefield even better than the ultimate existences, Great Lords, and countless Honored Legend existences. Surely, this battle would be a momentous celebration by all the Mind Power Masters!

This was not far from the truth. In a way, the more enemies there were, the more beneficial it was for Merlin. This was because the more minds he controlled, the more power he would gain.

Hence, at this moment, Merlin was almost undefeatable!

Wherever he went, the Atlan civilization warships would start to attack the Rock Tribe and Light Believers in a frenzy. Sometimes, they even attacked other warships from their civilization.

Wherever he went, the Rock Creatures and Light Believers would fall into unimaginable chaos and start to attack their friends and allies viciously. They were turned into madmen who could not control their behavior.

Throughout the countless years stretching across the immeasurable history of the Void Zone, nothing like this had ever happened before.

"Hum."

Suddenly, a chilling sense of danger loomed in Merlin's heart. His gaze immediately looked toward the direction where the danger originated. Based on his current Mind Power, he could almost predict danger.

Following the direction where the danger originated, Merlin saw a huge blinding light beam shot through the Void Zone again, from within the endless darkness, directly at him.

At this moment, Merlin knew that he had been locked as a target!

Being locked as a target by an Atlan civilization dimension-level warship would terrify even the Great Lords. After all, this was the fearsome warship which had just killed the Blackfire Lord.

Nonetheless, Merlin did not retreat. His mind seemed to replay the memory of the Blackfire Lord being reduced to ashes by this light beam, unable to put up a single ounce of resistance.

This warship was too far away, so Merlin could not trace its whereabouts. Moreover, the attack that could destroy a Lord was hurtling toward Merlin.

If it was just Merlin alone, no matter how powerful his Mind Power was, it would be useless. Regardless of how powerful a Mind Power was, its ability to interfere with the material world was extremely limited. It was even weaker than an ordinary Maxim.

However, Merlin's Mind Power could now control minds!

A smile appeared on the corner of Merlin's lips. He joined his hands together, and did not retreat. Instead, he began to head directly toward the hidden warship.

With every single step Merlin took, more Rock Tribe contenders, Atlan civilization warships, and Light Believers were controlled. These Rock Tribe contenders, Light Believers, and Atlan civilization warships rushed in droves to stand in front of Merlin, madly withstanding the terrifying light on his behalf.

Finally, after the death of a few Honored Legends and three empire-level warships, that beam of light was exhausted. Meanwhile, more warships, Rock Tribe contenders, and Light Believers had gathered around Merlin.

All of them had a blank look in their eyes, obviously being mind-controlled.

"Why don't you have a taste of being attacked by warships too…"

Merlin gently waved his hand. Instantly, five empire-level warships and thirteen city-level warships aimed their cannons toward the warship which was hiding in the dark a distance away.

The position of that hidden warship was immediately given away. Its position was locked by these warships with practiced ease.

"Boom boom boom."

Terrifying light beams which carried frightful power soared through the air toward the distant darkness. The hidden warship could no longer stay hidden. Once locked by the warships, they could not escape.

Thus, everyone could finally see a huge dimension-level warship which was hidden in darkness, gradually appear. It was this dimension-level warship which had just killed the Blackfire Lord and two Legend Squads.

"Bang bang bang."

More than a dozen light beams slammed heavily onto this warship, causing violent vibration. Nevertheless, it was a dimension-level warship, so its defensive layer was incredibly strong. Despite withstanding more than a dozen energy cannon attacks, it remained completely undamaged.

Perhaps the only damage it sustained was in terms of energy. Withstanding those attacks must have consumed a significant amount of energy.

Merlin's face was indifferent as he seemed unsurprised. If a dimension-level warship could be restrained so easily, then it would not have been called a dimension-level warship.

However, his gaze shifted toward three tiny figures before the dimension-level warship. Most likely, everyone's attention had been occupied by Merlin, so no one saw those three figures quickly approaching the dimension-level warship.

Merlin, on the other hand, knew that these three figures constituted unparalleled contenders of the Spell Caster civilization, second only to the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards.

The Nightmare Lord, who had consolidated four ultimate Maxims, was also the number one Lord of Setoh Arcane City.

The Bloodriver Lord, the only Lord born from among the plunderers, had also consolidated four ultimate Maxims.

The final Wizard was like an embodiment of a black hole. A spine-tingling aura exuded freely from this Wizard, and the Maxim on his body almost seemed like a dark cloud.

Although Merlin had never seen him before, judging by his distinctive characteristics, he immediately knew that this Wizard was from Augustus Arcane City. This was a Lord who had also consolidated four ultimate Maxims, and was even starting on the fifth. According to rumors, he was the Fowell Lord, the closest to becoming an ultimate existence.

These three Lords, from the moment the Blackfire Lord was killed, had been slowly approaching the dimension-level warship. They knew that as long as this hidden dimension-level warship was not defeated, then it would spell disaster for the entire Spell Caster civilization.

Therefore, while the warship was preoccupied with Merlin, the three Great Lords approached it as fast as possible.

"Both of you, attack now. No matter what the cost, we must show them the power of the Spell Casters!"

The Maxims on Fowell's body burst forth in an instant, along with the Bloodriver Lord, and the Nightmare Lord. Their ultimate Maxims turned into massive clouds and an enormous aura descended upon the entire battlefield.

This was the power of the powerful Lords, second only to the power of the ultimate existences!

"Kill!"

The three men yelled in unison. All their Maxims condensed together and slammed directly onto the dimension-level warship.

"Boom."

The resulting widespread Maxims shrouded the entire Void Zone. Even the massive warship was submerged within the Maxims and, for an instant, disappeared from view.

"Crack."

Perhaps it was just a moment or perhaps it was a long time later, but everyone heard some unusual noises. Under the joint attack of the three Great Lords, the incredibly solid dimension-level warship was torn apart.

The warship exploded. The immense force rippled in every direction, forming the most magnificent spectacle in the Void Zone!

Chapter 761: The Birth of the Mind Power System!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A dimension-level warship, even in the Atlan civilization, was a terrifying tactical-grade warship. It was the strongest force of the Atlan civilization at the present.

In the Atlan civilization, a dimension-level warship was far more valuable than the Great Lords in the Spell Caster civilization. The Spell Caster civilization merely had twenty-eight Lords but in the Atlan civilization, only thirteen dimension-level warships had appeared on the current battlefield, including this one which was destroyed.

Now that they had lost a dimension-level warship, this was the heaviest blow to the Atlan civilization. Moreover, the tide began to turn. The destruction of the Atlan civilization's dimension-level warship had transformed how the Spell Casters perceived the Atlan civilization. Those warships were not unrivaled, and even the strongest one could be destroyed.

Merlin continued forward. The Rock Tribe fighters, Atlan civilizations warships, and Light Believers under his control grew in numbers. With him at the center, it was like a majestic army which turned around, wildly clashing against the other fighters of the Rock Tribe and the Atlan civilization's warships.

The entire situation of the battlefield had been reversed because of Merlin!

By himself, Merlin was practically an unstoppable army. No matter how many there were, they only increased Merlin's strength. It was the first time these Great Legends, Honored Legends, and Lords knew how scary Mind Power Masters were.

Control over their minds – any creature with intelligence could be controlled. On the large-scale of the battlefield, Merlin was practically a master. No one was willing to confront a being who could instantly control their mind.

After all, no one wished to face their brothers who had just fought by their side to turn around to kill them immediately, madly slaughtering everyone.

A Mind Power Master like Merlin who could control hearts and minds was the nightmare of all his enemies!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh."

As if noticing the changes of the battlefield, the two Progenitors of the Rock Tribe and the Lord God of Light swiftly wriggled out from their fight with the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards, retreating in a bewildered manner.

When they first saw the vast "army" gathering by Merlin's side, they found it inconceivable, especially the Lord God of Light, who was exceptionally enraged. Of course, he recognized Merlin at once.

"How could you not have died?"

The Lord God of Light found it difficult to believe his own eyes. Back then, a puny Spell Caster who had wiped out one of his will avatars was now a key figure in turning the tide of the battle.

Those who could change the course of a battlefield, other than ultimate existences, were those widely recognized Greatest Lords. It was even difficult for ultimate existences to kill these Greatest Lords, who were legendary figures. In millions of years or even longer, the entire Void Zone might not be able to produce one of these fortune-favored children of an era.

Clearly, Merlin was not a Greatest Lord but his strange abilities were naturally discerned by the Rock Progenitors and the Lord God of Light at once. They could tell that Merlin was not using the powers of a Spell Caster but a terrifying new capability.

The Lord God of Light glared steadily at Merlin. His understanding of the Spell Caster civilization was even deeper than some Spell Casters themselves. Therefore, after a quick observation, his face changed slightly as he said hoarsely, "Could he be a Mind Power Master? He is. He must be. In so many years, the Spell Caster civilization has been brewing a transformation, producing existences called Mind Power Masters. They don't rely on the power of Spell Models but Mind Power. It was just that the Mind Power system has never been refined hence, unable to produce beings on par with Great Legends. Even in the Spell Caster civilization, it isn't mainstream at all."

"Mind Power Masters?"

The two Progenitors of the Rock Tribe deeply bore this name in their minds. If a Mind Power Master was so fearsome, then it was a frightening system of power.

"O' three ultimate existences, both of your tribes can withdraw first. We've already analyzed that the opponent has intense Mind Power fluctuations, able to control the minds of any intelligent creature. However, it doesn't seem to affect much any existences above the Lords in the Spell Caster civilization. Let your Lord-level existences stay. Furthermore, our Atlan civilization has thought of a countermeasure."

Suddenly, a raspy voice spoke in the ears of the two Rock Progenitors and the Lord God of Light. They knew that this was the voice of the Atlan civilization's mysterious "leader".

The Lord God of Light and the two Rock Progenitors exchanged a glance. Even though the Lord God of Light wanted to kill Merlin, with three Ultimate Arcane Wizards keeping a strict watch, his chances of killing Merlin was next to nothing.

Thus, he could only retreat for now.

"Alright, I'll keep my strongest believers in the field. Your Rock Tribe should do the same with your strongest Ancestor-level Rock Creatures. We'll see how the Atlan civilization will respond."

The Lord God of Light and the two Rock Progenitors rapidly retreated.

"Running away?"

Merlin turned his gaze to the distance. At this point, his face broke out in a cruel smile. He waved his hand lightly. Instantly, the Rock Creatures and Light Believers under the control of his Mind Power all stepped forward, gathering in a group.

"One after another. There's no rush!"

Merlin's eyes turned increasingly icy. Even though he was able to control his emotions well, the Blackfire Lord had died because of him, causing his fury to burn vigorously even now.

"Bang."

The Lord God of Light and the Rock Tribe's Progenitors had begun to withdraw but they kept their eyes on Merlin. Presently, they saw that the Rock Creatures and the Light Believers controlled by Merlin were all killing themselves one by one in successive explosions.

For a moment, the Rock Progenitors and the Lord God of Light felt a sense of suffocation, as indescribable rage weighed down their retreating steps.

"Three of you, please withdraw as fast as possible. Merlin is provoking you."

Once again, the voice of the Atlan civilization's mysterious "leader" came to them. The Rock Progenitors and the Lord God of Light were all exuding a frightening murderous force. As lofty ultimate existences, they had never wished so intensely to kill someone.

However, Merlin had now succeeded in enraging them. As ultimate existences high above, everyone around them seemed as weak as ants, except for those who were similarly ultimate existences.

Nonetheless, it was the first time they had "properly noticed" Merlin. A method like this was an extreme emotional blow even to an ultimate existence.

At the moment, in the pitch-black Void Zone, Rock Creatures and Light Believers were frantically killing themselves as if it was a competition. They erupted in splatters of bloody mists which wafted through the Void Zone.

Regardless of whether it was the Rock Tribe or the Light God Organization or even the Spell Casters, they were stunned to their very cores at this scene. They had never seen anything like this.

Merlin had controlled over a hundred Rock Creatures and Light Believers. At last, they were all dead – all killed in peculiar, shocking ways, leaving only the warships of the Atlan civilization.

Merlin did not kill the Atlans. After all, these warships needed to be operated by them. This was a great help to the Spell Casters. Faced with Atlans who did not have much fighting power, Spell Casters were able to control them.

"Look, the Rock Tribe and the Light God Organization, even the warships of the Atlan civilization are withdrawing."

"They are withdrawing. Have we won?"

Many Spell Casters finally noticed that the enemies had started to retreat. They had been prepared for extreme cruelties, and now they seemed to have won after just a short time?

Even so, in such a short period, it had been rather ruthless. The Spell Caster civilization had lost three Legend Squads, five Honored Legends, and the Blackfire Lord.

Compared to the losses of the Rock Tribe, the Light God Organization, and the Atlan civilization, this was nothing at all. Only the Blackfire Lord's death caused them much regret.

The twenty-right Lords from now on were left with twenty-seven Lords. However, they had Wizard Merlin, who was not a Lord but even better, a noble existence who had tentatively refined the Mind Power system!

In this war, Merlin had reversed their disadvantaged position by himself. Otherwise, how difficult would it have been to counter the attacks of the Atlan civilization?

Nonetheless, Merlin did not let anyone go but waved his hand, advancing with the remaining Atlan civilization warships which he had controlled. However, Merlin soon discovered that the Lord-level existences of the Rock Tribe and the Light God Organization had stayed behind. The empire-level and city-level warship of the Atlan civilization controlled by Merlin were no match for these Lord-level existences.

Furthermore, from behind them, out flew martial art robots. Among them, many were comparable to Honored Legends, manufactured by the Atlan civilization's dimension-level warship.

Merlin's Mind Power could not overpower Lord-level existences. Likewise, it could not gain control over martial arts robots which were simply controlled by complex programs.

On the battlefield, the Atlan civilization was far more formidable than the Rock Tribe, the Light God Organization, and even the Spell Caster civilization. They were able to think up of an effective countermeasure in such a short time.

Merlin fell into momentary silence. In the end, he did not continue forward. The other side seemed to have stopped the fight as well. Both sides were in momentary respite, each retreating.

…

The three great Arcane Cities had currently merged. They were originally founded by the three Great Arcane Wizards, so naturally, they were easily united.

Currently, all fighters of the Spell Caster civilization above Legends had gathered here. The three Great Arcane Wizards presided from up high with the twenty-seven Lords right below them.

However, the one who stood out was Merlin. It was the first time an Honored Legend sat among the twenty-seven Lords but no one had objected. Instead, they seemed to treat it as a certainty.

Everyone knew that in the past thousands of years, ever since the Spell Caster civilization set foot in the Void Zone, the first major development had occurred.

"Everyone, from today, I'll publicize a new cultivation system – the Mind Power system! I've finally refined it tentatively after going through various twists of fate. Anyone who's awakened their Mind Power can cultivate and all Spell Casters can even pick it up! It's just a shame that Teacher Blackfire, who's given me so much help, couldn't live to see this moment…"

Merlin stood in mid-air, his body emanated his grieving emotion, which even spread outward, unwittingly affecting everyone.

Only those above the Lords would not be influenced as much.

"Controlling minds… What a scary Mind Power Master! To think that the Mind Power system, which I thought had no future and would never be developed, is now actually refined. Wizard Merlin is really impressive and amazing. He can lead the Mind Power system to a point where it's not even inferior to our Spell Caster system!"

Even the Ultimate Arcane Wizards had never imagined that the puny Mind Power system could become so formidable. Furthermore, after this war, having seen the terrifying power of Merlin's Mind Control with their own eyes, no one would look down upon the Mind Power system.

The Mind Power system was finally born after being refined tentatively by Merlin!

Merlin knew that this was also due to the contributions of the Blackfire Lord, Titus, and even the Purple Emperor. Nonetheless, the birth of the Mind Power system was perhaps what they had hoped for, and it was fulfilled!

"Blackfire's dream was finally achieved. It's just a shame he can't see it for himself…"

Arcane Wizard Setoh's eyes revealed a subtle, sorrowful look.

"Haha, Wizard Merlin, today you've founded the Mind Power system. After some time, it's bound to be on par with our Spell Caster system. No matter what, the Mind Power system is established by us Spell Casters, and only we Spell Casters can awaken our Mind Power. The birth of the Mind Power system will surely strengthen our Spell Caster civilization!"

Augustus appeared overjoyed. Just as he said, the Mind Power system was not established in opposition to the Spell Caster system but instead, they complemented each other. Those ambitious ones like Merlin could even cultivate both together as they would not affect each other. The only thing that was involved was the Spell Caster's own energy.

"Wizard Merlin, you're now an Honored Legend but you've not been honored with a title. You became an Honored Legend through a Darkness Maxim and should have been called a Legend of Darkness. I believe everyone now thinks that we can scrap this title. You've founded the Mind Power system, so we mustn't be too sloppy with your title, haha. All the Great Legends are gathered here, how about if we honor you with a fitting title today?"

Augustus' words were greeted with cries of endorsement by many Legendary Wizards.

Most Honored Legends would have a unique honorific title. Some were honored based on their Maxims, some by a special characteristic. In short, although Merlin had become an Honored Legend, he had never possessed an "honorific title" belonging to him alone.

Merlin wore a knowing smile. He knew that Augustus was helping him to establish a position with all of the Legendary Wizards gathered to honor an Honored Legend with a "title". It was not just Great Lords but even the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards, who had never enjoyed a treatment like this.

This would immediately establish Merlin's position in the entire Spell Caster civilization. In other words, he was placed above most Lords.

Chapter 762: I Am Glory!

All of the Legendary Wizards began to ease into an enthusiastic discussion. It was their first time participating in such an event – selecting an appropriate "title" for an Honored Legend.

This lightened the tense mood of the war for a moment. After all, the Spell Caster civilization's war against the Rock Tribe, the Light God Organization, and the Atlan civilization had not ended. It was only the beginning.

A more ruthless war was waiting for all Spell Casters.

Merlin smiled, declining to comment on the discussions of these Legendary Wizards, only staying in his seat quietly. No matter what honorific title he was granted, it made no difference to him.

Soon, many Legendary Wizards had spoken their minds, suggesting many names. However, one of these had the most supporters.

"You'd be honored as Glory! Our Spell Caster civilization began in the Glorious Land, and everything we do is for the glory of the Spell Caster civilization. Today, Wizard Merlin has established the Mind Power system, surely becoming the glory of our Spell Caster civilization. Therefore, the Legend Glory is most suited for Wizard Merlin!"

This was the explanation of the Legendary Wizard who had suggested the name, which received an exuberant response. Many Spell Casters supported this suggestion. The Legend Glory – for a moment, it made them think of the origin of the Spell Casters, and the struggle of Spell Casters throughout thousands of years, to finally arrive at where it was today.

"The Legend Glory… Not bad. Setoh, Ceci, what do you think?"

Augustus muttered this name softly. To be named as Glory, Merlin's position in the entire Spell Caster civilization would only be second to the three Great Arcane Wizards. This was something not even he had foreseen.

"That's right, this name fits Wizard Merlin very well!"

Arcane Wizards Setoh and Ceci nodded in agreement. They could perceive that after Merlin had tentatively refined the Mind Power system, in less than a hundred years, this system would make waves in the Spell Caster civilization. Spell Casters who became Mind Power Masters would certainly grow in number, and Merlin's influence at that point would be even greater.

In that case, they might as well establish solid relations with Merlin. If Merlin grew powerful in the future, even if he did not become an Arcane Wizard, the three Great Arcane Wizards would even consider helping Merlin set up a fourth Arcane City named Glory as the sacred land of all Mind Power Masters in the Spell Caster civilization.

"Wizard Merlin, what do you think?"

Augustus asked Merlin. This honorific title was Merlin's. Naturally, they would need his agreement.

"Glory…"

Merlin muttered to himself softly. He recalled the Glorious Land, Blackwater City, the Dark Magic Region and so on. Although he had already left the Glorious Land, it was the place where his path as a Spell Caster began. He would never forget it.

"Very well. From today onwards, I shall be the Legend Glory, that's to say, I am Glory!"

Merlin's chest swelled with a sense of heroism.

Following that, the Great Legends, Honored Legends, and even the twenty-seven Lords congratulated Merlin. The birth of the Legend Glory seemed to provide the Spell Caster civilization with a trace of hope. There was none of the solemnness from before when they were faced with the war.

Thereafter, Merlin publicly passed on the Mind Power system he had refined, along with some specific cultivation techniques. The Mind Power system was merely one system with the First to Sixth-level Mind Power Masters.

Following that, a Seventh-level Mind Power Master would condense a Mind Heart. Next, with the Eighth-level realm of Hallucinating spells, one could compare to a Great Legend. In addition to various Hallucinating spell techniques, the Eighth-level Mind Power Master was stronger than the average Legend.

As for the Ninth-level state of the Illusory Heart, one was practically unrivaled, almost myth-like. At this stage, which was Merlin's current stage, no one would wish to oppose a Ninth-level Mind Power Master.

As for the Tenth-level Illusory World, not even Merlin had reached that point.

Moreover, during Merlin's publicity of the Mind Power system, he did not mention the Tenth-level and the Eleventh-level. These were too far away, and reversing the natural order was too astonishing.

Therefore, there was no need to announce that. Not only would it serve no purpose but it might also even cause chaos.

The Mind Power system was only tentatively refined because the stages were only generally divided like the Spell Casters who had the First to the Ninth-level, then Great Wizard, finally consolidating a Maxim to become a Legend, an Honored Legend, and even a Lord.

This was merely a general division of boundaries. As for the offensive techniques of Mind Power Masters, they were equivalent to the attacks of Spell Casters' spells and Spell Models. The Mind Power Masters of the future would have to slowly develop this.

In the past, Spell Casters were like this, becoming something from nothing, developing and refining bit by bit. In the end, they became a sophisticated cultivation system with an unknown number of Spell Models. They even branched out into alchemy, runology, potions, and so on.

The Mind Power system refined by Merlin today appeared only as an empty rack with nothing but broad divisions of boundaries. It did not even have any offensive techniques such as the Purple Emperor's Mind Suppression which Merlin did not share. This was considered a special attack, and in the future, he would only pass it on to close friends or descendants.

However, Merlin was not worried that the Mind Power system would not flourish. As long as Wizards cultivated and delved into it, over time, all sorts of offensive Mind techniques would be gradually developed. In the future, it might even spawn a system that Merlin could never imagine.

Merlin was simply the founder of a system. To truly perfect it, one would need countless others who had cultivated Mind Power, just like the Spell Models which Aruba had passed on. At first, it only had a pitiful amount but ultimately, with the diligence of innumerable Spell Casters, it was endlessly enriched and refined, finally giving birth to three Ultimate Arcane Wizards.

After a moment of bustle, many Legendary Wizards were interested in the Mind Power system shared by Merlin. As the Mind Power system did not clash with the Spell Caster system, they only had to put in their own efforts.

Having witnessed the terrifying power of Merlin's Mind Control, even those Great Legends, Honored Legends, and the twenty-seven Lords were highly interested in Merlin's Mind Power system. They hurried away, preparing to study it at leisure.

Arcane City was now left with the three Great Arcane Wizards and the twenty-seven Lords as if they had important matters to discuss.

After a long moment, Arcane Wizard Setoh spoke, "Everyone, let's talk about what we should do next."

Right, what should they do next? The twenty-seven Lords were clear that in this war, they had only relied on Merlin and three Great Lords to defeat one dimension-level warship, momentarily gaining the upper hand against the Atlan civilization.

The war had not ended. Furthermore, the martial arts robots manufactured by the Atlan civilization were outside, keeping a strict eye on the Spell Caster civilization. Not even Merlin had a plan. He could control hearts and minds but was incapable of taking over those icy martial arts robots who were nothing more than a series of programs.

"Legend Glory, what say you?"

Augustus asked Merlin.

Merlin knitted his brows. One must not judge based on how he was master of the battlefield earlier, dealing with the Rock Tribe, the Atlan civilization, and the Light God Organization by himself. In truth, that was taking advantage of the fact that the Atlan civilization and the rest did not know about his powers.

Now, the Atlan civilization had already taken precautions. They would keep the warships at a far distance, preventing Merlin's Mind Power from reaching them, then forbid those below Lords from the Rock Tribe and the Light God Organization to join the battle. Moreover, they would use the warships to constantly manufacture martial arts robots comparable to Great Legends or even Honored Legends. Merlin's Mind Control could not be wielded effectively.

"How troublesome. My Mind Control isn't much use against those robots and existences on par with Great Lords. Nonetheless, I can act as a deterrence. With me around, their dimension-level warship and other warships won't dare to appear. With just those martial arts robots, which one can be a match for a Great Lord? As for the Rock Tribe and the Light God Organization, their Lord-level existences make up a pitiful number. In general, we still have the upper hand. However, I'm just afraid that the Atlan civilization would come up with a way to block my Mind Power attack. Then that would be troublesome."

Merlin was most worried that the Atlan civilization would invent some technique to block his Mind Power. Before this, when Merlin had used his Mind Power to attack the empire-level and city-level warships of the Atlan civilization, he had noticed something.

Those warships could slightly hinder his Mind Power. This meant that Merlin's Mind Power was not omnipotent. At the very least, the Atlan civilization must have some methods to cut off a Mind Power attack.

In addition, Merlin now harbored a greater worry. If the Atlan civilization was connected to the Vestigial Tribe who had taken over the Void Zone as mentioned by the Purple Emperor, then they were in real trouble.

Even imposing existences like the Thirty-six Emperors were apprehensive of the Vestigial Tribe. They must be rather abnormal. The Purple Emperor's Mind Power was formidable. Based on pure Mind Power strength, even the current Merlin was somewhat lacking.

However, the Purple Emperor had died. Merlin was very concerned about the Vestigial Tribe's force. If the Atlan civilization was connected to the Vestigial Tribe, it was too dangerous.

"That's right. We'll now rely on the Legend Glory as a deterrence, and we still have the upper hand. Without the threat of the warships, our number of Lords are greater than theirs, and we can almost suppress them directly. Before the Lords, are those so-called robots worth much?

"However, we mustn't think that we can rest easy now. I've heard that the Atlan civilization is working on the void-level warship. Perhaps previously it was limited by something in the Atlan Dimension. Now they've left the Atlan Dimension, and if they really build a void-level warship successfully, it won't be just a catastrophe for the Spell Caster civilization but all civilizations! Therefore, we must be ready."

Augustus' considerations were no less than Merlin's. He knew that the present situation seemed to favor the Spell Casters but in truth, it was just a momentary moment of peace.

If the Atlan civilization found a way, the Spell Caster civilization would be in danger once more. Therefore, they must prepare in advance and come up with a plan to help the Spell Caster civilization survive this crisis. It was just that, how could such a plan be that easy to come up with?

Nonetheless, Merlin's heart leaped as he looked at the seemingly serene expressions of the three Great Arcane Wizards. Evidently, they had something in mind, only Merlin did not know what plan they had to resolve the crisis faced by the Spell Caster civilization.
