Chapter 793: A Bold Plan!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Will, unyielding will – even Merlin could sense this terrifying will. With such will, even if Merlin’s Hallucinating spell was ten times stronger or even if he had condensed the Illusory World, he would be unable to affect Monre at all.
This frightening will soared to the sky and merged with the natural order. This was Monre’s ability. He was merging with the natural order with his steadfast will. Once he had succeeded, he would become the second t.i.tan Giant of the Giant Tribe.
“Fusing with the natural order… So, it can be done through one’s willpower.”
Merlin mumbled softly. Before this, he only had a half-baked understanding of ultimate existences and did not know how should one fuse with the natural order. However, it now seemed like willpower had a decisive function.
Nonetheless, Wizard Setoh shook his head. “Merlin, there are many ways to merge with the natural order. Perhaps Monre would use his will to merge, perhaps this is the method pa.s.sed down in the Giant Tribe. It doesn’t mean that it suits everyone. For instance, we Spell Casters would use five ultimate Maxims, forcibly fusing them into the natural order’s power. At that point, the power of each Maxim would carry the vast power of the natural order with endless might.”
Flarite added, “That’s right, there are many ways to merge with the natural order, each different from the other. I remember Sir Flare Emperor previously telling us three that, if we have the chance to fuse with the natural order in the future, we’ll need to fuse a strand of our Flame Core into the natural order. Once it’s done, it’d be difficult to kill us. Even the smallest flame can resurrect us.”
Merlin was stunned to his very core. There were so many methods to fuse with the natural order with each of them so different. When one had become an ultimate existence, their moves would be endlessly distinct as well, even influencing their capabilities.
Monre, for instance, used his fighting will to merge with the natural order. He was a born warrior, and once he had succeeded, he would be rather frightening when he fought, stronger than even Arcane Wizard Setoh or Ceci.
This was the difference!
“If I were to fuse with the natural order, what method would I use?”
This thought flashed across Merlin’s mind.
“You don’t have to fuse with the natural order because that’s a restraint for you. Our goal is to surpa.s.s the ultimate, reverse the natural order, becoming a great traveler of the Lat.i.tude Cosmos like Aruba!”
t.i.tus’ voice rang out in Merlin’s mind.
Merlin was slightly taken aback but he laughed thereafter. He knew what t.i.tus meant. Ever since he heard Aruba’s words, Merlin knew that although merging with the natural order to become an ultimate existence might boost one’s powers significantly, one would lose something to gain this benefit. Merging with the natural order was equivalent to being constrained by it. It would be very difficult to then reverse the natural order and surpa.s.s the ultimate, becoming a powerful existence like Aruba.
Back then, Aruba had explicitly warned Merlin, and t.i.tus had taken this to heart as well. Merlin knew that t.i.tus was hoping Merlin could use Mind Power to reverse the natural order, turning illusory into reality so that he might be resurrected.
Therefore, t.i.tus did not wish for Merlin to be merged with the natural order and consequently become restrained.
“Boom.”
Following that, the cloud of the natural order in the sky rolled over constantly, after which there was a deafening explosion as the intense power of the natural order shot toward Monre, engulfing him.
“Grow, grow, grow…”
Everyone stared at Monre with mouths agape as he wildly swelled up without stopping. His body grew bigger and bigger. Initially, he seemed tiny before Chronos who was the tallest but now, he was catching up.
However, Chronos was not threatened by this but instead incomparably delighted. His voice was shaking as he said, “Success, success at last! The heritage blood is a blessing from our ancestors to the Giant Tribe!”
Monre’s body finally reached a height similar to Chronos but his frame appeared even more st.u.r.dy. Moreover, his body perpetually exuded an overbearing force. This was the force of fighting. Since he had merged with the natural order through his fighting will, Monre’s abilities were formidable!
“An ultimate existence is born just like that. The heritage blood is truly miraculous!”
Merlin was somewhat moved. A lofty, n.o.ble existence that could support the flouris.h.i.+ng of a civilization was born in such a “simple” manner.
“This is the legacy of powerful civilizations!”
Setoh’s tone contained a trace of envy. The Spell Caster civilization did not have such an extensive legacy. That drop of heritage blood had saved Monre an unknown amount of time.
Furthermore, without this drop of heritage blood, there would be no turning point. Monre would not even be able to reach the stage of merging with the natural order, let alone become a t.i.tan Giant.
Fortunately, this heritage blood of the Giant Tribe was merely left with one drop. Perhaps there were more but they could not be located. Although the Giant Tribe had grown in strength, it was nothing much.
Moreover, the Spell Caster civilization did not need to worry at all. The G.o.d Alliance, consisting of the eight largest G.o.d organizations, was located in the middle. It was a natural barrier.
“This time, viewing Monre becoming a t.i.tan Giant, I’ve gained much that’s important to me!”
Flarite suddenly stood up, bowing slightly to Monre and Chronos. This was to thank them for allowing Flarite to attend.
“Haha, Monre, this is Flarite who’s also reached the edge of merging with the natural order. Accompanying them is the Spell Caster civilization’s Wizard Merlin and Wizard Setoh. This time, you were able to get the heritage blood because they entered the ancestral land to obtain it after much hards.h.i.+p.”
Chronos briefly introduced Merlin and the rest. Only then did Monre learned that this heritage blood was not easy to obtain. It was Merlin and the rest who had relied upon the Slothful Beast to finally get it.
With this in mind, Monre spoke humbly, “You’ve gone through much to obtain the heritage blood, allowing me the chance to become a t.i.tan Giant. If there’s anything in the future that’s within my power, you can come to look for me in the Giant Tribe directly!”
Although the heritage blood was only part of a transaction, naturally, Merlin and the rest did not say anything since they were able to get in Monre’s good graces.
“Alright, Monre. Follow me. I have important matters to discuss with you.”
Chronos waved his hand, dismissing the crowd of Giant Kings in the square. Now, it was time to talk about the matter of the Spell Caster civilization.
Following that, they went into the palace. Chronos was the first to speak. “Everyone, now that my Giant Tribe had produced a second t.i.tan Giant, I can leave this place without worry. However, even if I lead my Giant Tribe to unite with the Spell Caster civilization, I’m afraid there won’t be much practical use. Do you really have the a.s.surance of killing any ultimate existence?”
“Kill an ultimate existence? Even if Your Majesty gets involved, it’d be difficult!”
Setoh shook his head powerlessly. Of course, he knew the problem of the war between the Spell Caster civilization, the Rock Tribe, and the Light G.o.d Organization was that they had no way to kill any ultimate existence. This was the greatest hazard.
However, since they had been backed into this corner, even if they could not kill, they could only wage war. The best outcome the three Great Arcane Wizards initially planned for was to forcefully suppress the Light G.o.d Organization and the Rock Tribe, making them retreat, then heavily damaging the Atlan civilization before sealing them in the Atlan Dimension once more.
This was the best outcome. As for wiping out the Rock Tribe or the Light G.o.d Organization completely, this was nearly impossible. Even if the three Great Arcane Wizards cornered one ultimate existence, it would be difficult to kill them.
“It’s true. If it’s just me, of course, it’d be difficult. However, if we add on the ultimate existences of the Avian Tribe and the Tree Tribe? I even have a good friend whom I’ve met at some other place who’s also a formidable ultimate existence. I wonder if seven ultimate existences would have a chance of killing an ultimate existence?”
A sharp glint glittered in Chronos’ eyes.
“Seven ultimate existences?”
Setoh was taken aback. If there were seven ultimate existences, that was no longer a simple upper hand. It would be a total suppression, immediately able to suppress the Rock Tribe, the Light G.o.d Organization, and the Atlan civilization.
Moreover, if they counted the Slothful Beast, it was almost like eight ultimate existences. This was a terrifying force indeed, nearly catching up to the G.o.d Alliance.
However, Chronos was so optimistic that this plan seemed suspicious.
As if he had sensed Wizard Setoh’s worry and doubt, Chronos explained slowly, “The Rock Tribe is a non-living tribe in the first place. If they continue expanding, they’ll hurt us severely. Especially since they’ve joined forces with the G.o.d Alliance, that’s an even greater threat. As for the Light G.o.d Organization, they’re one of the eight major G.o.d organizations of the G.o.d Alliance. Naturally, it’d be wonderful if we can kill the Lord G.o.d of Light, which would weaken the G.o.d Alliance. After all, with such an imposing colossus beside us, I believe that your Spell Caster civilization wouldn’t feel secure, just like our Giant Tribe.
“If we can’t kill them, it’s no big deal. The Light G.o.d Organization have no way of persuading the other seven G.o.d organizations to attack as well, so they’re no threat.”
Wizard Setoh looked steadily at Chronos. It turned out that the Giant Tribe’s worry was the Rock Tribe.
If it was just the Rock Tribe, it would be nothing much but of all things, the Rock Tribe had links to the Light G.o.d Organization or the G.o.d Alliance. This would immediately make the Giant Tribe nervous.
Therefore, by taking advantage of this chance to unite with the Spell Caster civilization, Chronos planned on wiping out the Rock Tribe completely, even killing off the Light G.o.d Organization to diminish the power of the G.o.d Alliance.
Countless thoughts swiftly flashed past Wizard Setoh’s mind. Chronos’ bold plan was not impossible to fulfill. If they could attract three other ultimate existences, the Spell Caster civilization might resolve these threats permanently, not just beat them back temporarily.
“Haha, since Your Majesty has such ambition, that’s naturally for the best. Only, would the Avian Tribe and the Tree Tribe agree?”
Chronos seemed unconcerned about the Avian Tribe and the Tree Tribe, saying lightly, “To tell the truth, I’ve already sent someone to invite the two ultimate existences for I’ve been communicating with them for a while now. Haha, we three tribes aren’t as aloof as your Spell Caster civilization. We’re mutually dependent on each other, and any action we take, we take as a group.
“However, for that good friend of mine, we’ll have to make the invitation together!”
Chronos seemed to highly value this ultimate-level good friend whom he had gotten to know. They had to make the invitation personally. Merlin and Setoh exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.
If they could get another ultimate existence, an extra trip was nothing at all.
