Chapter 837: War II

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Hum.”

No one noticed that the Illusory World had already enveloped the entire hopeship. Merlin was just about to exert more effort to control everything when there was a sudden change.

A light went up to the sky, and then there was a powerful force in the hopeship, trying hard to repel Merlin’s Illusory World.

Moreover, this force was so powerful that even Merlin could not resist it.

It was the first time such a situation had occurred since Merlin had merged the Illusory World.

“What’s going on? How could the hopeship manage to stop the Illusory World?”

Merlin was shocked. Even the dimension-level warships of the Atlan civilization did not have the technology to block Mind Power. However, this extremely huge hopeship had a mysterious power that made it impossible for Merlin’s Illusory World to descend.

Now, this mysterious force had enveloped the hopeship, preventing Merlin’s Mind Power penetration.

Besides Merlin, even the military marshals were stunned to see the glittering and translucent white light hanging over the hopeship, looking incredibly stunning.

“This… Is this the power of the crystal wall? We’ve never been able to decipher or even excite that force. How did the power of the crystal wall suddenly be activated?”

All the military marshals were dumbstruck. The greatest secret of their hopeship was not making void-level warships but the crystal wall.

The crystal wall was not only engraved with the countless knowledge left of the Vestigial Tribe but also the mysterious powers left behind. However, after so many years, it was still impossible to find out the power on the crystal wall no matter what methods the Atlan civilization had used.

It was the first time that the power on the crystal wall was activated.

“What is your army doing?”

Suddenly, several solemn-looking elders holding scepters in their hands appeared on the huge screen of the military conference room. Seeing these elders, even all the mighty and grand marshals of the army stood up to show respect. That was because they were the Senators who had held power in the Atlan civilization for countless years.

Although at present, the army was almost as powerful as the Senate in the war in the Void Zone, only the Grand Marshals knew that this was only because the Senators were also determined to start the war. Therefore, it was for their own benefit to push the military out.

Otherwise, without the cooperation of the Senate, the army would not be able to mobilize any resources. The Senate had accumulated power for countless years, and even these Grand Marshals were afraid of them.

“Honorable Senator, we also don’t know why the power on the crystal wall was suddenly activated. We were just dealing with the hateful Rebellion Army. The rebels had acquired advanced technology from the Vestigial Tribe through unknown means and could quietly control warships, so…”

Before the words were finished, the Senator on the screen waved his scepter fiercely, and said with a hoarse voice, “Hmph, what Vestigial Tribe advanced technology? Your brains are filled with war, war, and more war. Do you think those civilizations in the Void Zone are ignorant? Why don’t you look at this?”

The Senator waved his scepter and immediately, several smaller screens appeared on the screen. In these small screens, a strange figure appeared clearly. He did not wear any armor but could stand in the air, and beside him was a black cat hidden in the darkness.

This strange combination made the army marshals shocked.

“He’s not an Atlan. Is he from a foreign tribe in the Void Zone?”

All the marshals stared at the Senator.

“Besides the foreign tribes of the Void Zone, who else has such powerful strength?”

The scepter-wielding Senator seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with these people from the army. In the beginning, the Senate also wanted to launch a war and leave the Atlan Dimension. After all, they had spent enough time in the Atlan Dimension for many years. The development of the Atlan civilization also seemed to be limited.

Later, with the support of the Senate, the military department had successfully started the war, and the Senate supported the army behind the scenes. They had even created an illusion on the surface that the army’s power had been able to suppress the Senate. That way, the Senate’s position would be stable whether the war was defeated or won.

However, now, the Senators were increasingly dissatisfied with the army. Originally, they had promised to deal with the Spell Caster civilization in a very short time but it had dragged on for much longer.

The key technology of the void-level warship had made a breakthrough in the war. After successfully manufacturing the first void-level warship, the situation should have been reversed.

However, news had reached the Senate that the void-level warship had been destroyed, and they had to win over the God Alliance using the extremely precious Lord God-level divinity in the Atlan civilization.

What was even more outrageous now was that a foreign tribe had infiltrated the Atlan Dimension and controlled the Rebellion Army but the army had no idea about it. This completely disappointed the Senate.

The army marshals were also very nervous. They knew that without the support of the Senate, the army would be unsustainable in the war. Therefore, these marshals immediately thought of ways to redeem themselves.

“Dear Senators, the war launched by our army didn’t go smoothly, and we didn’t pay enough attention to these foreign tribes either. We didn’t think that they would dare to enter the Atlan Dimension. However, this foreign tribe isn’t a big deal. What’s more, every cloud has a silver lining. The foreign person had activated the power of the crystal wall. With this activation, we’ll certainly be able to study the mysterious force on the crystal wall and turn it into a powerful force that we can control.”

Activating the power of the crystal wall was also a blessing in misfortune. Both the army and the Senate did not realize the danger they had faced earlier.

Without the protection of the crystal wall, they would have been enveloped by Merlin’s Illusory World and be controlled by Merlin. At that time, there would be no use for their fortress cannons or any other powerful weapons.

The Senators hesitated for a moment before saying coldly, “The trouble your army caused should be solved as soon as possible. The hopeship mustn’t be disturbed, and that foreign person should be killed as soon as possible!”

Then, the Senators disappeared, leaving behind the gloomy faces of the army Grand Marshals.

“Everyone, since we know that it’s a foreign tribe, it’ll be easy to handle. Control all the fortress cannons immediately, and then start the high-energy power grid to surround millions of miles around the hopeship. We mustn’t let that foreigner escape.”

With the military command, the hopeship mobilized quickly. One by one, the fortress cannons began to aim at Merlin. More horrifyingly, a power grid had appeared around the hopeship, surrounding millions of miles.

If a dimension-level warship had encountered these high-energy power grids, it would be paralyzed instantly. In worse scenarios, it might even directly explode. Merlin carefully observed these high-energy power grids, and saw that they could rival the strength of Lords.

“We’ve been discovered…”

Merlin glanced at the hopeship and saw the densely packed fortress cannon muzzles aiming at his direction. Although they could not be accurately locked on Merlin because of the distance, even if they were not locked, Merlin would still be unable to escape with so many cannons aimed at him.

“Didimoss, since we’ve been discovered, then we’ll use brute force. Today, you can eat as much as you want.”

Merlin’s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. He had used the Rebellion Army to hide but had failed because of the mysterious power on the hopeship.

However, Merlin did not give up as they already reached the hopeship. Since their identities had been discovered, then they would just charge!

“Haha, I can finally eat my fill…”

The black cat Didimoss was extremely happy, and a huge black cat soon appeared in the void. Thousands of fortress cannons fired, and dazzling white lights lit up the night.

“Gulp!”

The black cat Didimoss had opened its mouth wide and seemed to turn into a bottomless black vortex even larger than an average warship. It was full of suction force, and the fortress cannons’ attack was swallowed by Didimoss.

Then, the black cat Didimoss revealed a slight expression of pain on its face. After all, how powerful would the attack of tens of thousands of fortress cannons be?

However, it was all swallowed by the black cat Didimoss. It naturally could not “digest” and could only be transformed.

“Merlin, I feel so miserable!”

The black cat Didimoss revealed a typical “overeat” expression.

“Then break this protective shroud!”

At this moment, Merlin’s body was wrapped in Darkness Maxim and Flame Maxim. With formidable might, he stepped closer to the hopeship.

“Alright, I’ll give them back their energy.”

The black cat Didimoss showed a pained expression. In its view, the beam from the fortress cannons tasted too horrible and could not be “digested” either. Thus, it could only be transformed into an attack and be “returned” to the hopeship.

“Boom.”

A huge mass of energy like a blazing sun was spat out from the black cat Didimoss’ mouth. It roared directly toward the hopeship, full of terror and destruction.

This time, the expressions of both the army marshals and the Senate changed greatly. This ball of fiery energy was a fusion of all the attacks of the fortress cannons.

That force had exceeded the limit of the starship’s defensive ability.
