Terrifying!

Just as this string of notifications came up in Merlin's mind, another, slightly different notification came up and stood out above all the rest, only for a brief moment before vanishing, never to be seen again.

===============

The Master is satisfied with your performance.

The Master is willing to help the one he has brought back from the brink of death.

He has completely removed the remnant will of 'The Overseer' from your Mind domain.

He is chuckling thinking about the backlash 'The Overseer' would experience for having his 'descended will' be completely obliterated.

The Master nods at your tenacious will and has high expectations of you.

==============

This was written in Pure Silver on a golden notification, as though the system was celebrating having conveyed the words of 'The Master'. It was an awe-inspiring scene of a robot expressing emotions most humans would feel hard to find during the Apocalypse, the feeling of joy, excitement, satisfaction, and happiness from the bottom of their heart.

This beauty of emotions lasted for barely a moment before disappearing, along with whatever was within the cage.

The cage itself remained, completely unaffected by what had just transpired, but Merlin was covered in cold sweat.

Had he just witnessed a battle between existences that could kill Zero a million times over with a glance, inside his own mind!?!?!?!

He had already felt the strength of the contradictory being that was trapped inside the cage. It was enough to wipe out the very existence known as Earth just by thinking about it.

But 'The Master' so easily reduced it to nothingness? And furthermore, he called it The Overseer's 'descended will'. That means the actual existence called the overseer should be a lot stronger than his will, a mere projection of his strength.

Although Merlin had gained a supposed backer called 'The Master', he had also gained an enemy, and enemy way too strong for the current him to even look at.

He could only rely on his backer for the time being, and increase his strength as much as he could. This backer was the one who had supposedly brought him back from the brink of death according to the system. This confirmed his guess that 'The Overseer' was just a conman who overheard, or happened to watch him being sent back in time.

Merlin was sure the 'The Overseer' paid quite the price to just 'descend' his will to Earth, due to the mana restrictions Zero had spoken about. Furthermore, 'The Master' had supposedly dealt quite the blow to 'The Overseer' while destroying this will, making him less likely to try something like this again in the near future. But Merlin could not sit idly. He had to quickly reach, and surpass the level he was at in his previous life.

His attention them fell upon the cage once more. This time, he could read a few of the symbols that transcended the three known dimensions.

Roughly translated, they meant something along the lines of "Seal, Drain" and a few other unknown symbols.

However, when he went to touch the cage, it turned illusory, as though it didn't completely exist in his mind domain before returning corporeal once again after Merlin retracted his hand.

Merlin was planning on how he could bring the cage to the real world with him. But since he couldn't, and mana didn't work here, he gave up on that and tried thinking of a way to leave his mind domain.

Just as he thought of this, the whole world went dark, until he finally opened his eyes. Looking around, he saw that he was in one of the cryo-recovery chambers he had built for those who are severely wounded or in a coma.

Seeing this scene, he heaved a sigh of relief and tried to move his body, which felt surprisingly light.

In fact, it felt like he had increased his level, but that was not possible since he was already level 5, unless!

Quickly, he opened his status and was shocked!

===============

'It's been 8 months since I fell unconscious? That can't be right? I was only there for some time! But there is no other explanation for me being able to not only reach Tier 2, but also remain at this level!'

His thoughts moving this far, they all suddenly froze as he reached a conclusion.

'The might of a deity level being it truly frightening. A simple conversation, and a stare-off against such a being reached 8 months in real life!'
