Chapter 870: Departure I

“Dead?”
Wizard Augustus and Ceci flew over. Although they were ultimate existences, they could not interfere in that previous battle. Currently, they were no longer uninformed creatures who had only stayed in one territory. They knew that ultimate existences were divided into a few grades, and the disparity between each grade was like an insurmountable moat!
Those three foreign members were Light Guardians of the Great Light Region, having reached the ultimate second-grade. In particular, Laerin, who could control lightning was the top contender. Even so, in front of Merlin, they could not withstand one blow.
Especially that mysterious power that Merlin had finally unleashed, which destroyed everything in its path, easily slaying the three Light Guardians. They did not even have the chance to flee. How terrifying!
Augustus gave Merlin a complicated look. The present Merlin had truly grown to a stage none of them could have imagined. In not just the Spell Caster civilization but even the entire region, he was undoubtedly the strongest person among the countless surrounding civilization.
Nonetheless, Augustus was still somewhat worried. From what the two Curved Horn Creatures had said, they learned that the Great Light Region was not that simple. Not only were there seventy-two Light Envoys and eighteen Light Guardians but the strongest of them was also the Great Light Honorable Lord who was the ruler of the Great Light Region, a supreme contender who was the ultimate third-grade.
This time, for him to send three Light Guardians, it meant that the Great Light Honorable Lord had taken notice. Now that the three Light Guardians were dead, there was no doubt that the Great Light Honorable Lord would be furious.
Next time, it might not be Light Guardians who would visit the Spell Caster civilization but the Great Light Honorable Lord himself. Before such a being, the entire Spell Caster civilization could be completely annihilated at his single thought.
Even the Atlan civilization, if it had not encountered the Spell Caster civilization but a tyrannical force like the Great Light Region instead – one Light Guardian could easily sweep over the entire Atlan civilization. The Vestigial Tribe’s confinement dimension was of no use.
“Merlin, we need to properly discuss about Great Light Honorable Lord. This won’t do. Let’s move away. Now that the Spell Caster civilization has you, in addition to seizing countless dimensions of the G.o.d Alliance, we’ve created many powerful Wizards. We can move away with no trouble.”
Augustus gritted his teeth and gave his opinion, which was to relocate to preserve the civilization. In truth, it was not like this was without precedent.
The Giant Tribe had relocated from afar. Back then, they were called the t.i.tan Tribe, a powerful civilization who could jointly kill Black Star Warriors. However, due to the Vestigial Tribe, they had moved a long way, finally reaching this region.
However, each relocation might cause the destruction of a civilization. The Giant Tribe’s decline to their present state was largely linked to their relocation.
The initially flouris.h.i.+ng t.i.tan Tribe could fall to such a stage in just one relocation, let alone the Spell Caster civilization. Other than Merlin, the general strength of the Spell Caster civilization was not that great.
There were so many dangers in the Void Zone. Without finding a suitable place for the Spell Caster civilization, the entire civilization would fall into ruins. Thus, they must not move except as a final resort.
“There’s no need for such a big fuss. Wizard Augustus, Wizard Ceci, I’ll stay on in the Spell Caster civilization for some time to make arrangements. Thereafter, there’s no need to wait for the Great Light Honorable Lord’s arrival. I’ll look him up myself and resolve our worry!”
“You’ll look for the Great Light Honorable Lord?”
Augustus and Ceci were flabbergasted. Although Merlin had exhibited power that was far greater than second-grade ultimate existences, they were una.s.sured that he could deal with the Great Light Honorable Lord. Moreover, Merlin would have to travel a long distance to strike into the Great Light Region. This was very risky. One mistake, and Merlin might die.
“Don’t worry. Of course, I have some a.s.surance!”
Merlin did not explain further. He was already ready to leave the Spell Caster civilization but before that, there were many matters to settle.
…
After three months, the Spell Caster civilization sent out invitations to the Tree Tribe, the Avian Tribe, the Giant Tribe, and almost every powerful foreign civilization nearby. Using Merlin’s name, all ultimate existences from the surrounding civilizations were invited to the Spell Caster civilization to discuss something significant.
This was a primary concern for countless civilizations nearby. In so many years, the G.o.d Alliance was the strongest force. The eight G.o.d organizations had suppressed many civilizations until they could barely breathe.
However, even such an overbearing force was destroyed by Merlin alone. Currently, the Spell Caster civilization had flourished to an extreme.
Furthermore, news had spread that even some distant foreign members had died in Merlin’s hands, especially the Light Envoys and Light Guardians from the Great Light Region. Some ultimate existences of other civilizations had used various means to learn specific details.
Of course, this was what the Spell Caster civilization had permitted. The intentional news spread was Merlin’s final arrangement. Naturally, he could not leave the Spell Caster civilization just like that. He had practically become a symbol of the Spell Caster civilization, especially as more time pa.s.sed, and those within the Spell Caster civilization who accepted and became Mind Power Masters had increased in numbers. Merlin had become an emblem of these Mind Power Masters.
Under such circ.u.mstances, it was not easy for Merlin to leave. He had to prepare everything.
No one from the surrounding foreign civilizations turned down the invitation because it was an invitation from the number one figure – Wizard Merlin!
Therefore, contenders from each civilization had gathered in Glory City. Despite being unable to detect the natural order in Glory City, these ultimate existences were not that worried.
With Merlin’s abilities, he would not need to lure them into Glory City to easily wipe them out. Thus, they entered Glory City gladly and calmly, using this opportunity to experience the uniqueness of Glory City.
In the largest dimension of Glory City, Merlin finally showed up. This time, everyone he had invited was an ultimate existence – genuine rulers from the surrounding civilizations.
“Everyone, I believe you know about the Great Light Region. Our territory is too small, and the Void Zone is too big. Just the Great Light Region alone is stronger than us, who knows by how much. Therefore, I suggest we form an alliance!”
Merlin’s purpose in gathering so many foreign civilizations for discussion was to establish an alliance, unifying the entire territory as one. Even if it was a loose alliance, it was better than going solo. In the face of danger, there would only be one or two civilizations to put up a fight.
If they truly encountered a formidable force, a civilization’s solitary strength in this territory could not hold up at all.
Augustus and Ceci were not surprised. Before this, Merlin had explained this clearly to them. Forming an alliance was the best plan for now. Of course, there was a better plan – for the Spell Caster civilization to vanquish all foreign civilizations and unify the entire territory.
With Merlin’s abilities, of course, he could do this. Nonetheless, it would not be that functional for the Spell Caster civilization. It might even be pointless. After all, the Spell Caster civilization had sufficient living s.p.a.ce now, even having excess. Just the G.o.d Alliance’s dimensions contained much more s.p.a.ce than the previous Spell Caster civilization.
No matter how many dimensions one had, one would need enough life forms to occupy them. Nonetheless, the Spell Caster civilization had only set foot in the Void Zone for merely three thousand years or so, before producing a Wizard like Merlin who was immeasurable by ordinary standards. Other than Merlin, the general Spell Caster civilization was not that powerful.
With such a colossal force, the Spell Caster civilization would have enough s.p.a.ce to develop, even for a few million years. There was no need to wipe out the surrounding Spell Caster civilizations.
Moreover, even if they were wiped out, more ultimate existences would die. The overall strength of the Spell Caster civilization would not increase. Conversely, the power of this territory would be weakened.
Wizard Augustus and Ceci would not agree to an arduous and unrewarding effort like this, so they might as well form an alliance, uniting all their forces. This was the best plan.
After hearing Merlin’s suggestion, the foreign civilization members below broke into fervent discussion. This development was too astonis.h.i.+ng. They had not even gotten a whiff of it.
“Alliance – how will it be exactly? Would it be like the G.o.d Alliance?”
The t.i.tan Giant Chronos piped up with a question.
By now, the Giant Tribe was no longer the t.i.tan Tribe that had waged war against the Vestigial Tribe. They had declined to a civilization in a rural territory. Today, there were merely two ultimate existences. Perhaps they were considered formidable in this region but in the entire Void Zone, they were nothing much.
The t.i.tan Giant’s question was one that everyone was most concerned about. If they became like the G.o.d Alliance, there was no difference – alliance or not. Back then, the eight G.o.d organizations of the G.o.d Alliance, thanks to separate interests, were unable to ultimately expand their influence.
Merlin shook his head. “Of course, it’d be different. The G.o.d Alliance was too disorganized. What we need is an alliance that can quickly gather power to counter any danger. Thus, a mighty civilization must take the lead. I suggest that the Spell Caster civilization does so. If we encounter any danger, the Spell Caster civilization can command all civilizations to partic.i.p.ate with their greatest effort!”
Naturally, for Merlin to form an alliance, he wanted to fight for the Spell Caster civilization’s benefit.
Merlin’s meaning was evident. He wanted the surrounding civilization to acknowledge the Spell Caster civilization’s position, and even follow their commands.
The advantage was that they did not have to worry the Spell Caster civilization would swallow them up. Plus, if they met an external threat, they would not have to resist by themselves, and could instead, seek a.s.sistance from the alliance.
In truth, there were many civilizations, especially the Giant Tribe, the Tree Tribe, and others that were relatively stronger, who were unwilling to form such an alliance with the Spell Casters taking the lead.
However, Merlin was so powerful now that they could not contend against him by far. Thus, after going through some specifics, they finally agreed to establish an alliance with the Spell Caster civilization as their head.
This alliance would have Glory City as its core, called the Glory Alliance!
