Chapter 854: Extinction!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Modify Glory City? It’s not impossible, but it will consume a lot of my essence, to the point that I will need almost a thousand years to recover afterward. Moreover, the process will take a long time.”

After feeling around the Atlan Dimension, the Mother Tree answered with a sigh. Due to the size of the dimension, it would not be possible to delegate the task to other Tree Folks. Only the personal touch of the Mother Tree could successfully modify the Atlan Dimension.

Despite the challenges mentioned by the Mother Tree, Merlin heard the implicit meaning in his words. While the Atlan Dimension was indeed huge, if the Mother Tree decided to modify it, he would definitely succeed.

Then, even without sensing natural order, as long as there were elements, the Spell Casters would be able to flourish in Glory City for a long time. Upon consolidating five ultimate Maxims and achieving the most critical step to integrate with the natural order, only then a Spell Caster could leave Glory City and step into the Void Zone. Such an arrangement was also quite convenient.

Once the Mother Tree succeeded in modifying the dimension, Glory City would become the third Arcane City of the Spell Caster civilization, as well as the most powerful Arcane City. It would certainly overshadow Augustus and Ceci’s Arcane Cities.

“Mother Tree, if the Tree Tribe can really modify the Rock Tribe dimensions and Glory City, the Spell Caster civilization will certainly present a generous gift for your effort. How would you like a void-level warship?”

Merlin watched the Mother Tree like a hawk. As soon as Merlin mentioned the void-level warship, a trace of conviction appeared on the Mother Tree’s face.

“Really, a void-level warship?”

The Mother Tree seemed hesitant to believe it. After all, Roman and the Avian Monarch had demanded the void-level warship but did not manage to obtain it. With Merlin’s current dominion, they did not even dare to mention the void-level warship, because they knew that the void-level warship was extremely important, so the Spell Caster civilization would definitely keep it for themselves.

“That’s right, an actual void-level warship! I’ve controlled the Atlan Dimension, so naturally, I managed to obtain some void-level warships. On the other hand, the Tree Tribe excels at defense but not at offense, so the void-level warship would help fill the gap in the offensive aspect.”

Merlin knew that this was an offer that the Mother Tree could not turn down.

The defensive abilities of the Tree Tribe were incredibly powerful. This was evident from the Mother Tree’s demonstration where the joint attack of two to three ultimate existences were unable to break through the Mother Tree’s defense.

However, he did not have an arsenal of attacks. Compared to an average ultimate existence, the Mother Tree’s offensive tactics were not only severely limited, but also not very strong.

By having the void-level warship in the Tree Tribe’s possession, should they be threatened by several ultimate existences, the Tree Tribe’s defense would be able to first hold off the attack, then activate the void-level warship. Consequently, the Tree Tribe would catapult into a powerful, untouchable civilization.

“Very well, I hope Wizard Merlin can keep your promise. I will stay in Glory City until it is successfully modified.”

The Mother Tree agreed with a big smile.

“We can sign a contract!”

Merlin immediately retrieved a contract. This type of contract could bind even the ultimate existences but did not have a substantial effect on Merlin with the Golden Ray Armor. If even Didimoss’ dead-end could not prevail over Merlin’s Golden Ray Armor, what more a mere contract?

Nevertheless, signing a contract was absolutely necessary. This way, the Mother Tree would be completely at ease and devote his full attention to modify Glory City and turn it into an inhabitable dimension for Spell Casters.

The only downside was that the modification would consume a relatively long period of time. Fortunately, the void-level warship was not built successfully, so Merlin had ample time. Prior to this, Merlin did not have sufficient time, but now that the threat of war had been eliminated, time was no longer an issue.

Of course, there was still the issue of the Rock Tribe.

After a short discussion between Augustus, Ceci, and Merlin, they decided for Merlin to launch the attack on the two Rock Tribe Progenitors, thus ending this war once and for all. Hopefully, the Spell Caster civilization would continue to live in peace once again.

….

Inside a huge dimension, dark clouds that filled the sky faintly gave off a depressing mood.

This was the Rock Tribe Progenitors’ dimension. Everything inside the dimension, including the weather, was controlled by the progenitors. Usually, it was bright and sunny, but right now it was dark and stormy. This accurately reflected the moods of the Progenitors.

“Hanra, have you sent off the Rock Tribe’s seedlings?”

“All sent off… However, this would only give us a small sliver of hope. Who knows what sort of danger would appear in the vast Void Zone? Perhaps, the very next moment, the Rock Creatures whom we sent off would be killed as well.”

Progenitor Hanra’s voice was somber, his tone filled with despair.

In reality, the two Rock Tribe Progenitors had no other options. When they learned that Merlin single-handedly vanquished the Eight Great Lord Gods and that he controlled the Atlan Dimension on top of the fact that the mysterious Marshal of the Atlan civilization was dead, and that the Spell Caster civilization had taken over the God Alliance’s force, the two Rock Tribe Progenitors knew that they had completely lost the war.

“I never thought that we would lose so appallingly… Back then, had we been wrong?”

Progenitor Hanra raised his head, seemingly filled with regret.

Progenitor Hanra and the other Progenitor did not imagine that the outcome of the war would be so tragic. In the beginning, they were only involved in a war with the Spell Caster civilization. So even if the Spell Caster civilization won, the Rock Tribe would only suffer a minor setback. It would not have come to the point of extinction.

However right now, with the addition of the Lord God of Light and the Atlan civilization, the situation changed. In the end, even the God Alliance joined the war. Whereas Merlin from the Spell Caster civilization again created a miracle and became a terrifying existence capable of vanquishing the Eight Great Lord Gods in a single swoop. The situation changed too quickly.

From the beginning of the war until now, it had only been a few hundred years. For many ultimate existences, a few hundred years was even less than a single hibernation period.

Now that the situation had been completely reversed, the Spell Caster civilization was flourishing. Meanwhile, the Rock Tribe suffered utter defeat and was facing the threat of extinction. This was an outcome that the two Rock Progenitors did not see coming.

As for escaping? The two Rock Tribe Progenitors did not consider it for a moment. Death would only come sooner if they tried to escape. It was impossible that the Spell Caster civilization was not watching them closely.

However, it was too late to regret their choices.

“Perhaps there’s one last way… Using our deaths to appease the wrath of the Spell Caster civilization. The Rock Tribe is willing to follow the Spell Caster civilization.”

In the end, Progenitor Hanra thought of an idea. However, whether or not it would succeed would depend on the discretion of the top contender of the Spell Caster civilization, Glory Lord Merlin.

“Rock Tribe Progenitors, come on out.”

Suddenly, a loud voice boomed outside the dimension. A figure bathed in golden light appeared outside the dimension. The golden rays seemed to emit a dominating aura that made several Rock Creatures feel completely defenseless.

“He’s here…”

The two Rock Tribe Progenitors raised their heads towards the sky. The fearsome aura could be felt by everyone.

“Let’s go, we’ll have to face it sooner or later.”

Progenitor Hanra said with a sigh. Knowing that the Rock Tribe was facing a life-and-death moment, they had to bear the consequences as the two ultimate existences of the Rock Tribe.

The Golden Ray Armor on Merlin’s body shined with brilliance. There was no one around him. Although Merlin had come alone, his senses told him that there were no worthy Rock Creature opponents amongst the countless Rock Tribe dimensions.

It was unknown at which point of time Merlin possessed the ability to single-handedly exterminate a powerful civilization. Even Merlin himself felt surreal.

“Power, extreme power! This is the feeling of ultimate power…”

Merlin gently savored the power of the Golden Ray Armor. Although this power did not belong to Merlin personally, he could control and mobilize it to vanquish any ultimate existences.

“Swish swish.”

Soon, two figures flew out of the dimension. It was the two Rock Tribe Progenitors.

“Glory Lord!”

Progenitor Hanra gazed at Merlin with a complicated expression. Merlin was still considered a Lord but he was the first Lord in the history of Spell Casters to be able to vanquish an ultimate existence.

Of course, Merlin’s cultivation as a Spell Caster was extremely sparse. He did not possess considerable talent as a Spell Caster but relied largely on the Matrix in the past.

In the later stages, the Matrix could no longer help Merlin. Therefore, consolidating the ultimate Darkness Maxim and ultimate Flame Maxim, as well as becoming a Lord was the maximum limit that Merlin could possibly achieve. It was almost impossible for him to consolidate other Maxims. Perhaps, it would only be possible if he spent an endless amount of time.

Currently, Merlin’s accomplishment in the Mind Power System far exceeded that in the Spell Caster system. Moreover, with the help of the Golden Ray Armor, Merlin could become a powerful existence capable of vanquishing an ultimate existence.

Merlin did not speak but glared coldly at the two Rock Tribe Progenitors. Progenitor Hanra continued. “Glory Lord, the Rock Tribe knows that we are no longer able to fight. We are willing to surrender ninety percent of our dimensions and the two Progenitors are willing to sign a contract to always follow the Glory Lord. We hope that the Glory Lord and the Spell Caster civilization can spare us a chance of survival.”

Progenitor Hanra took the initiative to propose a lasting stewardship. As long as they signed the contract, it would be binding, because they could not defy the backlash wielded by the natural order of the Void Zone. This was unless they become an existence similar to the Thirty-six Emperors, or possessed the Golden Ray Armor.

Regardless, both options were out of reach for these two Rock Tribe Progenitors.

Merlin still did not speak, but his gaze turned icier. The two Rock Tribe Progenitors felt a tinge of despair.

Finally, Progenitor Hanra gritted his teeth and said, “Glory Lord, I know that as long as we are alive, you will not be assured. So, we are willing to trade our lives for the survival of the Rock Tribe!”

At this time, Merlin’s gaze finally turned into fascination. He spoke slowly, “If you know the consequences, why did you do it? In the Void Zone, countless civilizations have flourished and disappeared repeatedly. Were you unprepared? There could be only one outcome of a war between civilizations, which is the extinction of a civilization. Not only you, but the entire Rock Tribe will disappear completely. This is the price you have to pay!”

Merlin had no mercy for the Rock Tribe. He gently raised a hand and a chilling power enveloped the two Progenitors.

“Price? Haha, yes, this is the price we’ll have to pay!”

The two Rock Tribe Progenitors roared and displayed their true forms. Immediately, two huge figures which were bigger than a Giant King rushed towards Merlin.

“End!”

Merlin snorted softly. Instantly, the golden rays transformed into a large hand and a tremendous gravitational field pressed down on the two Rock Tribe Progenitors.

“Crack”.

The Progenitors’ true form shattered. At the same time, the golden ray brought a wave of destructive power that slammed violently onto the bodies of the two Progenitors. Immediately, the power of natural order contained in their bodies was disintegrated.

“Bang”.

The bodies of the two Progenitors exploded in an instant. Their auras disappeared completely. Merlin vanquished the Rock Tribe Progenitors in a single swoop as well.

Looking at the countless Rock Tribe dimensions below, many Rock Creatures were in a frenzy. Merlin shook his head. The Spell Caster civilization would handle the rest. Although it might appear ruthless, extinction was the inevitable outcome of a war between civilizations!
