The Competition Dimension
Merlin used the River of Time alphabet path at the last moment.
The power of the Botanical Deities was in fact not so weak right now, but it seemed to be a little behind Olamas’ Crystal Dragon.
Because the Crystal Dragon was already a strong Silver Alphabet Battle Animal from the start, when the Antipodean Technique was used, its combat power rose higher than before.
It was different from the Botanical Deities that were originally the Blue Alphabet Battle Animals. But once they performed the fusion and combined, the power got a level higher than before, turning them into a Silver Alphabet Battle Beast.
So clearly, the Botanical Deity would only be able to defend itself from the Crystal Dragon; it would not win.
Merlin himself was tired of playing around with this competition so he decided to get serious.
