Chapter 853 - Glory City!
“Re-converged?”
Merlin looked at the huge natural order cumulonimbus in the Void Zone that resembled a huge eye. He knew that this was none other than the dead-end. Without killing off the life-form which had reversed the natural order, the power of natural order simply would not subside.
Even if Merlin were to disintegrate it temporarily, the natural order would converge again.
Of course, of the black cat Didimoss succeeded in withstanding the massive impact from the power of natural order, it would result in a transcended life-form. The aura of a transcended life-form would then receive the recognition of the Void Zone.
Perhaps, even the Void Zone would not be able to contain him, thus becoming one of the Thirty-six Emperors like the Flare Emperor. However, such a possibility was extremely minuscule. After all, throughout the ages of the Void Zone, only the Flare Emperor had been born.
“The dead-end cannot be dispersed so easily. I wonder if my Illusory World will face the same dead-end in the future?”
Seeing the chilling power of natural order, Merlin felt slightly nervous. If an ordinary ultimate existence were to face such a dead-end, there would be no hope of survival. No wonder it was called the dead-end. Even the reversed natural order life-forms with limitless potential were unable to escape it.
Looking at the black cat Didimoss’ dead-end, Merlin was reminded of his own situation. For now, his Illusory World was safe, but one day, if it began to show signs of transforming illusion into reality, would it be rejected by the Void Zone and become subjected to a dead-end?
If the dead-end did appear, it would be more than hundreds or thousands of times stronger than Didimoss’ dead-end. After all, if the black cat Didimoss were to survive this, he would merely become an existence comparable to the Thirty-six Emperors. He would not cause great harm to the entire Void Zone.
On the other hand, if Merlin’s Illusory World was turned into reality, it would become a perfect Latitude Cosmos on par with the Void Zone and would pose a huge threat to the Void Zone. Thus, in all likelihood, Merlin might be faced with pressure from the entire Void Zone.
Of course, this was merely Merlin’s own speculation, but it was highly probable. In order for his Illusory World to transform illusion into reality, it would not be easier than for the black cat Didimoss to survive this dead-end. In fact, it would be significantly harder, to the point of impossible. The amount of power that could be amassed by the entire Void Zone could not be withstood even by the Golden Ray Armor.
“Merlin, you mentioned that you’ve controlled the Atlan Dimension?” Wizard Augustus asked anxiously.
“Yes, I managed to control the Atlan Dimension by chance. The Atlan civilization inside the Atlan Dimension had been completely exterminated. Right now, Didimoss is hiding inside the Atlan Dimension.”
Merlin smiled. However, Augustus’s breathing sped up. He knew the significance of the Atlan Dimension. Back when the Spell Caster civilization discovered the Atlan Dimension, they wanted to occupy it for themselves, because where else could you find such an enormous dimension?
Now that it was controlled by Merlin, the Atlan Dimension could be turned into a base for the Spell Caster civilization. Although it did not contain any elements, they could slowly modify it. Even if they fail to modify it, the Atlan Dimension still possessed the special characteristic of blocking natural order, which would certainly deter the ultimate existences of other civilizations. This was the safest place to house the Spell Caster civilization, even more than the Arcane Cities or the Glorious Land.
“Anyway, Wizard Augustus, let’s go back to the Spell Caster civilization first.”
Merlin saw that Roman still had a plethora of questions, so it was better for them to return to the Spell Caster civilization first before explaining in detail.
...
Inside a simple subspace recently created by Wizard Augustus in the Spell Caster civilization, there was a bedazzling golden foyer where Titan Giant Chronos, the Avian Monarch, Roman, the Mother Tree, Ceci, Augustus, and Merlin were seated.
This was the strongest force of the Spell Caster civilization gathered together. Undoubtedly, it was for a critical matter.
“Everyone, I believe you already know that the Eight Great Lord Gods have been vanquished. So, there’s only the Rock Tribe left to be dealt with. In any case, they’re no longer a major threat.”
Wizard Augustus looked down with a smile. The outcome today had been accumulated by Merlin. Ever since Merlin returned to the Spell Caster civilization and news about him killing the Eight Great Lord Gods single-handedly spread, it immediately attracted the attention of countless foreign tribe civilizations around them.
Furthermore, as if to cement those rumors, the Spell Caster civilization dispatched a team led by Arcane Wizard Ceci to slaughter all the believers under the God Alliance and occupied their respective dimensions.
At present, the Spell Caster civilization had a formidable existence which was Merlin, the Slothful Beast and the two ultimate existences Augustus and Ceci. Furthermore, they seized the forces of the God Alliance. Hence, the Spell Caster civilization rose overnight into a force more powerful than the God Alliance.
Consequently, there were concerns among the Avian Tribe, the Giant Tribe and so on.
The gathering of so many ultimate existences was precisely to dispel their concerns.
“Everyone, you’ve rendered your assistance during the most critical moments faced by the Spell Caster civilization. Therefore, we will not expand in the direction of your forces. Moreover, our present dimension is already large enough, we won’t need to expand in the next tens of thousands of years.”
Augustus was very aware that the current force of the Spell Caster civilization was supported by Merlin alone. The number of dimensions they controlled were more than what they had before this. Such a sprawling dimension was something the Spell Caster civilization could not have achieved in just three thousand years of establishment.
Therefore, these many dimensions were more than enough. Many places were still empty enough for the Spell Casters to develop it over tens or even hundreds of thousands of years. Hence, the Giant Tribe, Avian Tribe and Tree Tribe around them need not worry.
Augustus’ words naturally would not loosen their guard completely, but they had no other choice. Who would have thought that the Spell Caster would give birth to an existence as terrifying as Merlin? He killed all Eight Great Lord Gods in a single swoop, even if all the surrounding foreign tribe civilization were to join forces, they might not be able to defeat Merlin.
As long as Merlin was around, the Spell Caster civilization would not deteriorate. On the contrary, it would flourish even more.
While the Avian Monarch and Roman had made known their request to Merlin before he entered the Atlan Dimension, such as the void-level warship, but upon seeing the current development, they smartly kept their mouths shut.
Perhaps the void-level warship still existed, but judging by the strength of the Spell Caster civilization, it would only remain within the Spell Caster civilization.
“What to do with the Rock Tribe?” Titan Giant Chronos asked calmly.
“Rock Tribe? In a while, I will deal with it personally. The Rock Tribe will no longer exist!”
Merlin’s tone was also very calm. At his current level, the Rock Tribe was no longer a threat. With the Golden Ray Armor, Merlin had become the top contender among the numerous civilizations in their surroundings, following in the footsteps of the Thirty-six Emperors.
“Everyone, don’t worry, Wizard Augustus’ promise is also my promise!”
Dressed in the Golden Ray Armor, Merlin reiterated the promise. Although the concerns in the hearts of these ultimate existences were not completely dispelled, Merlin’s endorsement helped reduce it by at least half.
Thus, the ultimate existences began to stand up. This gathering also marked their return to their respective places. After all, with Merlin around, the war was over and they were no longer needed.
“Haha, Chronos, you’ve promised that you’d allow me to enter the ancestral land of the Giant Tribe. Bring me there now, I can’t wait.”
Roman immediately led Chronos to his stealth flying ship and quickly flew towards the ancestral land of the Giant Tribe.
The Avian Monarch and the Mother Tree was also preparing to leave. Suddenly, Merlin said to the Mother Tree, “Mother Tree, we still need your help.”
The Mother Tree paused. He looked at Merlin strangely. “Wizard Merlin, considering your current abilities, what kind of help could we offer you?”
The Mother Tree excelled in defense but faced against the Golden Ray Armor, even the Mother Tree knew that he would not be able to withstand it.
Merlin smiled. “I need the Tree Tribe’s dimension modification ability! I’m wondering if the Tree Tribe can modify the Atlan Dimension into a dimension suitable for the inhabitation of Spell Casters?”
Merlin heard of the Tree Tribe’s dimension modification ability from the Mother Tree before. They were able to modify millions of dimensions, including those belonging to the Rock Tribe.
“Of course, the Rock Tribe dimensions as well!”
The Mother Tree stewed for a little while and frowned. “The Rock Tribe dimensions are of course not a problem. I can gather some Tree Folk to root themselves there for a few decades or at most a hundred years, then all the Rock Tribe dimensions can be modified into dimensions that are suitable to be inhabited by Spell Casters. The Atlan Dimension, on the other hand, is a bit different. Due to its vast size, ordinary Tree Folks would not be able to modify it. I’d have to modify it personally and also cause considerable damage to myself... However, as to what extent, I would have to see the place for myself. Only by looking at it, I will know whether it can be modified.”
The Mother Tree’s reply fell within the ambit of Merlin’s expectations. Surely, the Atlan Dimension could not be modified by ordinary Tree Folks. Only the Mother Tree would have such an ability.
“Mother Tree, I can bring you to look at the Atlan Dimension now. Wizards Augustus and Ceci, why don’t you come with us? One day, the Atlan Dimension might become the base of the Spell Caster civilization!”
Subsequently, Merlin’s Golden Ray Armor emitted a golden light that wrapped around the Mother Tree, Augustus and Ceci, then transformed into a golden arrow that flew towards the Atlan Dimension.
“Swish”.
Soon, the four of them arrived outside the Atlan Dimension.
“What an incredible speed... The Vestigial Tribe was truly an extraordinary civilization!”
The Mother Tree exclaimed. Previously, he had heard about the formidable prowess of the Vestigial Tribe, as well as witnessed the might of Merlin’s Golden Ray Armor, but he did not expect that the speed of the Golden Ray Armor was equally as fast. Its speed was several times faster than the power of natural order mobilized by the ultimate existences.
Merlin smiled but did not say anything. After all, the Golden Ray Armor was the strongest ability of the Vestigial Tribe, so this speed was considered inconsequential.
“Please go ahead, this is the Atlan Dimension.”
Merlin directly led the other three into the Atlan Dimension. As soon as they stepped into the Atlan Dimension, the faces of the Mother Tree, Augustus and Ceci underwent a drastic change.
“No more power of natural order.”
“I can’t sense the power of natural order.”
“The Atlan Dimension is truly capable of blocking the power of natural order.”
Augustus and Ceci were surprised but not alarmed. Instead, their eyes shut gently, seemingly reminiscing the first time they entered the Atlan Dimension in the past.
Back then, it was the Spell Caster civilization that first discovered the Atlan Dimension. Initially, they thought that they had found a base for the Spell Caster civilization, but conversely released a terrifying civilization.
At that time, Augustus and Ceci had already entered the Atlan Dimension, so they knew that the power of natural order could not be sensed inside the Atlan Dimension. Now that they were back, they were reliving past memories.
Only the Mother Tree was entering the Atlan Dimension for the first time. Therefore, his heart was shaken to the core as he evaluated his surroundings.
Although this space was complete, there was nothing in it and appeared utterly deserted. This was because the starships were destroyed by Merlin’s Spatial Windstorm.
“The Atlan Dimension... We wanted to conquer it, but we were the ones who suffered a great loss. Finally, it’s back in our hands. Merlin, what are your plans for the Atlan Dimension?”
Augustus and Ceci looked at Merlin. The Atlan Dimension was indeed a good place, but since it was controlled by Merlin, he would have to manage it.
Merlin already made plans. He pointed at the Atlan Dimension. “I’m ready to transform this place into the true origin of the Spell Caster civilization. With the Atlan Dimension, the Spell Caster civilization now has a base.”
“Good idea, Merlin. Actually, we have a proposition. Every Ultimate Arcane Wizard is qualified to build an Arcane City. We will be rebuilding our Arcane Cities, but after mastering the Golden Ray Armor, your ability has surpassed most ultimate existences. You’re now qualified to build an Arcane City. Therefore, we’re discussing making the Atlan Dimension your Arcane City. It will be called Glory City!”
Augustus and Ceci exchanged a look and nodded to one another, obviously already reaching an agreement earlier, but only mentioning it now.
“Glory City?”
Merlin’s heart soared. Indeed, with his current abilities and status, he was qualified to build an Arcane City. Furthermore, the Atlan Dimension was a natural ‘Arcane City’.
“Yes, Glory City. In the future, it will be a playground for Mind Power Masters.”
Of course, Merlin could envision that as his status continued to climb, the Mind Power System perfected by him would also form a powerful force.
With him in charge of Glory City, it would become a base for the Mind Power Masters force.
“Yes, yes, then from now on the Atlan Dimension will be known as Glory City! Mother Tree, so will you be able to modify Glory City into a dimension suitable to be inhabited by Spell Casters?
Merlin turned his gaze towards the Mother Tree.
