Chapter 764: Titus Awakens

When he returned to his residence, Merlin felt somewhat uneasy. The Atlan civilization was planning to build a void-level warship. Although no one knew whether they were making progress, there was no doubt that this was the biggest threat to the Spell Caster civilization.

Moreover, the war was still ongoing. As the Legend Glory, he was a powerful deterrent. He was going away now, and though he would leave a Maxim avatar in his place, a mere Maxim avatar would not have Merlin’s state of Mind Power. Therefore, the avatar would have no way of controlling minds.

If something were to happen, the situation of the battlefield could change in the blink of an eye.

Merlin carefully thought about the manner of the three Arcane Wizards. With a jolt in his heart, he quickly linked various deductions and thought of a possibility.

“The three Arcane Wizards are thinking of the worst outcome, and made a plan based on that! I founded the Mind Power system, and have the highest possibility of becoming an ultimate existence among the entire Spell Caster civilization. However, this is precisely what we lack right now.”

Merlin finally understood why Arcane Wizard Setoh would stubbornly bring Merlin away at this moment. This was a discreet way of protecting Merlin.

If something happened in the battlefield, then Merlin, who had left, would avoid the danger. In that manner, the Spell Caster civilization would be left with a spark, a final hope.

If the day came when Merlin could become an ultimate existence, there was still hope for the Spell Caster civilization. This was what the three Arcane Wizards were thinking of.

Merlin finally understood the intentions of the three Arcane Wizards. The entire Spell Caster civilization’s development up until the present day, despite growing at a terrifying rate, had only produced three Arcane Wizards.

Furthermore, ever since Arcane Wizard Setoh became an ultimate existence, no matter how ancient those Lords were or how new Lords appeared, none of them had the foundation of becoming an ultimate existence.

Even the First Lord of Augustus Arcane City, the Fowell Lord was known to be closest to becoming an ultimate existence. However, after so many years, he had made no headway. No matter what, he was unable to become an ultimate existence. This indicated that his chances were extremely slim.

Nonetheless, Merlin’s appearance had given the three Arcane Wizards hope for the fourth ultimate existence of the Spell Caster civilization. Merlin had founded the Mind Power system and was also an Honored Legend in the Spell Caster system. His talents were not shabby at all.

With potential like Merlin’s, this was enough! The three Arcane Wizards must plan for the best and the worst on behalf of the Spell Caster civilization, and prepare accordingly.

Even so, though Merlin knew that the three Arcane Wizards were indirectly protecting him, he did not wish to leave the battlefield at this moment. His technique of controlling minds was crucial to the present situation of the war. He must not leave so easily. Once the Atlan civilization discovered that he had left, the outcome would be unimaginable.

“Why is this a problem? You can condense a Mind avatar and all your worries would be resolved!”

Merlin was slightly taken aback. This voice sounded very familiar.

“Titus, are you awake?”

Merlin saw a familiar figure floating out from the illusion bead. Back then, Titus had been inspired by Aruba, and wished to develop the Mind Power’s materialization, reversing the natural order. This was also the Eleventh-level of the Mind Power system that Merlin did not announce.

Currently, the Eleventh-level was only known to Merlin and Titus. In addition, both of them were merely at a phase of speculation. After all, this would surpass ultimate existences with the fearsome power of reversing the natural order!

“I’ve woken up long ago. I still haven’t congratulated you in announcing the Mind Power system and becoming the Legend Glory!”

A smile emerged on Titus’ face. In turned out that he had woken up long ago, just that he stayed in the illusion bead this entire time, not disturbing Merlin.

“How is it? You’ve disappeared for so long – have you learned it?”

Merlin knew that Titus had progressed even further than himself in the Mind Power system. After all, he had already started to condense an Illusory World while Merlin had only reached the realm of the Illusory Heart.

“Learn it?”

Titus shook his head powerlessly. “It’s not that easy to materialize illusions as reality… I’m afraid there’s no common method to this. It depends on the individual. In one Latitude Cosmo, chances of producing an ultimate existence are high but to surpass ultimate existences and reach Aruba’s level, able to travel the infinite Latitude Cosmos, there’s only Aruba who can do that. Therefore, the final Eleventh-level of the Mind Power system doesn’t have a specific cultivation method or stages. I’ve thought it through, which is why I woke up to be by your side. Perhaps you can create a miracle.”

“Create a miracle?”

Merlin laughed bitterly. Before this, he was awe-inspiring indeed. After becoming a contender with the Illusory Heart, he could control minds and practically altered the course of the battlefield by himself.

However, after a thorough examination of the battlefield’s situation, Merlin knew that what he had accomplished did not hurt the Atlan civilization at all. The war would continue, and the Spell Caster civilization was still at a disadvantage.

Titus was unusually serious, saying hoarsely, “Merlin, you must believe in yourself. You becoming a wielder of the Illusory Heart is already a miracle. Even though I had placed great hopes on you at the start, I had no guarantee whether you can step into the realm of the Illusory Heart. Nonetheless, you did it! Other than me, you’re the first one to step into the realm of the Illusory Heart!”

Of course, Merlin knew how difficult it was to attain the state of the Illusory Heart. He was a corroborator himself, verifying Titus’ Mind Power system before slowly refining it, reaching a point where everyone could cultivate it.

“How do I solve the current problem? I can condense a Maxim avatar… Right, did you mention the Mind avatar?”

Merlin looked toward Titus.

“After reaching the stage of the Illusory Heart, you can condense a Mind avatar. You must already be able to control minds by now. In that case, it’s very simple. You’ll extract a portion of your emotions, which is a fragment of your mind. Moreover, it’d use up a huge amount of your Mind Power, and you’ll need a long time to recover. Therefore, you can’t create too many Mind avatars. One or two is about the limit.

“In addition, the Mind avatar possesses the state of your mind, which is the realm of the Illusory Heart, and able to control minds! Although it won’t be as strong as you, it’s sufficient to deal with most Legends or Honored Legends. The disadvantage is it won’t have your Spell Caster powers and have limited ability to interact with the material plane. Its range of Mind control is also smaller.”

Titus explained about the Mind avatar to Merlin in detail, causing Merlin’s eyes to brighten.

“Not bad, not bad. Those disadvantages aren’t much of a disadvantage. The Mind avatar is only used as a deterrence. Even if the Atlan civilization came to investigate, the Mind avatar won’t reveal any loopholes in our plot. I’ll condense a Mind avatar!”

Merlin had decided to consolidate a Mind avatar. With it keeping watch, he would not have to worry about the Atlan civilization making a sudden attack.

Following that, Titus thoroughly described the steps to condense a Mind avatar, especially how to extract a part of his emotions. In the past, Merlin might think that this was a fantastical tale. How could one possibly extract emotions?

However, after achieving the Illusory Heart, Merlin could easily understand and accomplish this task. He could distinctly sense his own emotions or the emotions of others. Peeling away part of his emotions was a piece of cake.

Merlin thought about it. Previously, his wave of enraged emotion had been the strongest, so he decided to strip it off. The stronger the emotion was, the more powerful the Illusory Heart of the condensed Mind avatar.

Furthermore, he was curious about how the Mind avatar would turn out in the end. Finally, after three days, Merlin’s Mind avatar was tentatively created.

“Come out.”

Merlin seemed to be talking to himself but soon, a figure abruptly exited from his body. This figure’s force did not seem any different from Merlin’s.

The only difference that one could point out was that this figure seemed to perpetually exude a frightening force of fury.
