A Wizard's Secret

Chapter 885: The Accomplished Illusory World!

“Strip off!”

Following the Honorable G.o.d Blackfrost’s cry, the Golden Ray Armor that was already mostly stripped off was now completely s.n.a.t.c.hed away. Merlin no longer had any connection to the Golden Ray Armor. Perhaps the only thing left was a link to that control program.

“Swoosh.”

Currently, having lost the Golden Ray Armor, Merlin’s contrived power that reached the fourth-grade Emperor-level had vanished without a trace. He was no longer able to perceive the threads of the power of the natural order. He had declined to an ordinary Lord once more.

He was merely a Lord!

“He’s a goner!”

“The Golden Ray Armor was seized by the Honorable G.o.d Blackfrost… It looks like we’ll have to change our cooperative target.”

The Three-headed man and the giant tortoise saw that Merlin’s Golden Ray Armor had been stripped away, and knew that Merlin had no chance. Although Merlin was not from the Vestigial Tribe and was not as weak as them, his true capability did not even reach the ultimate level.

Now that he had lost the Golden Ray Armor, what could he use to fight against the Honorable G.o.d Blackfrost?

The Honorable G.o.d Blackfrost and the Violetfire King stared greedily at the Golden Ray Armor. Thereafter, the Honorable G.o.d Blackfrost took the Golden Ray Armor. Nonetheless, he did not obtain the specific method of using the Golden Ray Armor. Now that this armor was in his hands, it was no different from an ordinary armor.

“Merlin, hand over your method of using the Golden Ray Armor, and you can live!”

The Honorable G.o.d Blackfrost spoke icily.

Currently, Merlin who was wholly enduring the endless power of the natural order, raised his head, a strange smirk flitting over his mouth. He laughed coldly. “Is that so? You may spare my life but can you control this natural order? Haha…”

Oddly, Merlin started guffawing. At the same time, the surrounding power of the natural order swelled up and thundered toward Merlin viciously. In a flash, it submerged Merlin.

“What’s going on? Disperse!”

The Honorable G.o.d Blackfrost had an unpleasant shock. Before he obtained the method of operating the Golden Ray Armor, he would not kill Merlin. Only if Merlin was alive would he have the chance to learn that method.

However, he now discovered that he could not control the power of the natural order. How mighty was the power of the Darkness G.o.d Emperor? If the Darkness G.o.d Emperor was here, he might be able to forcibly gain control. Nevertheless, he merely possessed a portion of strength gifted by the Darkness G.o.d Emperor, not even reaching an Emperor-level existence. How could he possibly control the natural order that had erupted completely?

The current power of the natural order was no longer under the Honorable G.o.d Blackfrost’s control at all. Merlin knew this better than anyone. Once the Illusory World was discovered by the natural order, it would fight to its dying breath. The origin of the natural order would treat it as the greatest threat to erase. Therefore, only the Thirty-six Emperors themselves who represented the origin of the natural order could control this revolt of the natural order.

“How could this be?”

As he stared at Merlin’s figure engulfed by the natural order, soon, Merlin’s fragile sh.e.l.l shattered instantly. A life form that was not even an ultimate existence – how could he withstand such fearsome power of the natural order?

“Honorable G.o.d Blackfrost, why did you kill Merlin? Do you know how to control the Golden Ray Armor?”

The Violetfire King found it difficult to comprehend why the Honorable G.o.d Blackfrost would kill Merlin just like that. Only Merlin knew the method of controlling the Golden Ray Armor.

The Honorable G.o.d Blackfrost’s face was ashen. He did not know what had just happened. Merlin’s final smile made him feel like there was something fishy but Merlin was truly dead now. Even his body was torn apart by the power of the natural order.

“Since someone like him who wasn’t even an ultimate existence could use the Golden Ray Armor, then we can do so too. Even if I have to spend a long time, I’ll find a way!”

The Honorable G.o.d Blackfrost was not discouraged. In truth, he still had other plans. This was the Spell Caster civilization. Although Merlin had died, the civilization he left behind might hold some clues.

In short, he would obtain the method to control the Golden Ray Armor at all costs.

“What do we do with these two?”

The Violetfire King shot a look at the Three-headed man and the giant tortoise, asking in apprehension.

“Pay them no mind. It’s fine as long as they don’t attack us first, which I don’t think they’d dare to do. First, we’ll go to the Vestigial Tribe dimension that Merlin controlled!”

The Honorable G.o.d Blackfrost glanced at the giant tortoise and the Three-headed man, both of whom were peak existences at the ultimate third-grade, eyeing them carefully. In such circ.u.mstances, they did not wish for any extra trouble.

After all, he had used up the power that the Darkness G.o.d Emperor had given him.

The Violetfire King nodded. Just as he was about to leave with the Honorable G.o.d Blackfrost, an overbearing and familiar force suddenly sprang out from that chaotic vortex of the natural order.

“That force… Merlin isn’t dead?”

The Violetfire King and the Honorable G.o.d Blackfrost were well acquainted with this force. It was only a puny force. Previously, they had found out that Merlin’s abilities were not even on par with an ultimate existence. How strong could he be?

Even so, this force was now so tremendous, and something seemed to be different.

“His body was completely torn apart. How could he survive the power of the natural order?”

It was not just the Violetfire King, even the Honorable G.o.d Blackfrost was completely astounded. In the distance, the giant tortoise and the Three-headed man were similarly moved.

“Buzz buzz buzz.”

Terrifying energy seemed to be brewing within the natural order vortex that had crushed Merlin. The power of the natural order gathered increasingly, stirring up a storm.

“Boom.”

The entire Void Zone seemed to tremble as if a quasi-ultimate existence had mobilized the origin of the natural order. Everyone looked up, for a ma.s.sive cloud had appeared suddenly in the dark sweep of the Void Zone.

This was not a mere cloud, but the origin of the natural order that made all ultimate existences s.h.i.+ver!

“The origin of the natural order, my goodness. Could he have activated the origin of the natural order to become an ultimate existence? No, this is no ordinary origin of the natural order but something even the peak of the ultimate third-grade would look up to. It’s filled with destructive force…”

The Violetfire King was shouting himself hoa.r.s.e as he withstood this pressure. In the instant that gigantic ma.s.s of origin of the natural order had appeared, his entire body was suppressed by the natural order that seemed to contain an overwhelming will, making him shudder.

This sensation was not the origin of the natural order mobilized by someone who wanted to become an ultimate existence.

It was not just the Violetfire King. Even the Honorable G.o.d Blackfrost who had seen many things was now staring with an open mouth. Even though he had followed the Darkness G.o.d Emperor back then, he had never witnessed such a scene.

“It looks rather like a dead end… Except that even life forms who have reversed the natural order couldn’t possibly rouse such a colossal origin of the natural order.”

The Honorable G.o.d Blackfrost was at a lost for the first time. He truly did not know what was happening.

“Destruction… Rebirth. This is true perfection, a true accomplishment. This is a truly complete world!”

A bodiless voice, light as a feather, drifted into their ears. Instantly, these third-grade ultimate existences were overcome with shock, staring incredulously at that vortex of the power of the natural order.

This voice was familiar to them. Earlier, they had battled with the owner of this voice.

“Splash.”

That natural order vortex trashed around like a river but it was futile. Soon, a dusky layer of light swallowed everything.

A faint halo emerged in the center of the vortex, and from this halo, a figure gradually took shape. It was Merlin from before.

Merlin’s force still had not changed. He was not an ultimate existence, only he did not even have any trace of a Wizard’s force now. No Elements, no Maxims, only that unseen Mind Power.

Merlin’s previous body was torn apart by the natural order indeed, but he did not die. The Illusory World was his core, just like the divinity of G.o.ds.

If the Illusory World was not destroyed, then he would not die. His body was a nuisance.

If this was before when Merlin’s Illusory World was not perfected and thus unstable, his Mind Power would not last when he lost his body. However, earlier, as the power of the natural order invaded the Illusory World and wrecked everything, Merlin understood what his Illusory World was missing.

He was lacking the power of balance, lacking destruction, resulting in the Illusory Tribe Civilization expanding too smoothly, to the point where they could control the entire Illusory World.

Any world required checks and balances. Back then, the Vestigial Tribe of the Void Zone was too overpowering, sweeping over the Void Zone, so the Thirty-six Emperors showed up and joined forces, annihilating the Vestigial Tribe.

Similarly, in Merlin’s Illusory World, the Illusory Tribe Civilization had developed too smoothly. Power was no longer in balance. If this went on, the entire universe would collapse someday.

At this time, what was needed was a destructive force. The Honorable G.o.d Blackfrost’s power that attracted the natural order inadvertently created a destructive force in the Illusory World.

Destruction and rebirth had always complemented each other. Therefore, the instant the Illusory World was destroyed, it was also stabilized thoroughly. Merlin’s Illusory World was finally accomplished, fully perfected!

How formidable was a perfected Illusory World? In other words, how great of a threat was it? One would know just by looking at the origin of the natural order high up in the Void Zone. Although this was merely a projection of the origin of the natural order, it was an incomparable projection. Its strength was overwhelming enough to kill fourth-grade Emperor-level ultimate existences.

This was practically the greatest strength the origin of the natural order could activate directly. When that intangible origin of the natural order of the Void Zone discovered Merlin’s Illusory World that was already stabilized, it immediately made its decision.

It wanted to smother the Illusory World completely. To a Lat.i.tude Cosmo, there was no bigger threat than the Illusory World.

“The origin of the natural order…”

Merlin paid no attention to the Honorable G.o.d Blackfrost and the Violetfire King. Currently, his Illusory World was already thoroughly accomplished. The strength of the refined and stabilized Illusory World had far exceeded Merlin’s expectations.

His only rival was the origin of the natural order – the entire Void Zone!

The moment his Illusory World was perfected, the Void Zone had begun to reject Merlin. Moreover, this was merely the first wave of attack from the origin of the natural order.
