Chapter 797 - Prelude
Chapter 797: Prelude
“Your Majesty Chronos, our purpose this time…”
Setoh gave a gentle reminder and the Titan Giant Chronos nodded. He knew what to do.
Chronos then said to Roman, “Roman, the reason we came here is to ask for your help.”
“Help?”
Roman glanced at Chronos and his tone immediately became somewhat ill-mannered. He said coldly, “Chronos, what did I saw when we met back then? I won’t care about matters regarding your Giant Tribe. If you want me to help your Giant Tribe, then save your breath.”
Roman’s change of attitude was too quick. It seemed that the relationship between Roman and Chronos have not reached a close level.
Chronos’ expression was unsightly but he tried to reason, “We’re here for the Spell Caster civilization. They’re in danger now. As long as you agree to help, we’ll agree to anything you want in the future. How does that sound?”
Roman glanced at Merlin and Setoh, and continued to sneer, “I’m only interested in items belonging to the Vestigial Tribe. Unless you can hand some over, I won’t do anything. Well, Chronos, if there’s nothing else, I’m going to study the warship I’ve just obtained.”
Roman seemed to have no regard for what Chronos thought. His attitude was truly unreasonable. The grand Titan Giant from the Giant Tribe had personally came here to request for him but he did not respect that at all.
Seeing Roman turning around, Chronos also appeared embarrassed. He did not expect things to turn out like that. Roman was usually very amiable. He had never thought that it would be so difficult to ask for his help.
As for items belonging to the Vestigial Tribe, Chronos was not interested in those at all. How would he deliberately collect those items?
Wizard Setoh stepped forward and whispered to Chronos, “Your Majesty, can’t we convince Sir Roman?”
“I also didn’t expect Roman to be so stubborn. If he’s unwilling, then we can’t do anything…”
Chronos also seemed quite helpless. It seemed impossible to convince Roman. Setoh also felt that it was a pity. Roman was not only an ultimate existence but he also possessed the Vestigial Tribe’s gravitational field, which was the most terrifying. Roman’s impact on the battlefield would be larger than two ultimate existences.
“The Vestigial Tribe? Sir Roman, if I have some good relics for you, would you help us and follow us to the Spell Caster civilization?”
Merlin suddenly raised his head and revealed a confident smile.
“Hm? You have Vestigial Tribe relics?”
Roman, who had almost reached the warship’s door, whipped his head back and stared intently at Merlin with eyes of disbelief.
“Of course, I have many. I even have… Martial arts puppets! The only question is whether Sir Roman will be able to subdue them! However, the premise is that Sir Roman has to first go to the Spell Caster civilization. Only then, will you obtain the relics the Vestigial Tribe left behind.”
Merlin paused and said mysteriously, “Moreover, I believe that Sir Roman will be very interested in our Spell Caster civilization’s enemies. They’re called the Atlan civilization. They also have warships and puppets but they are nowhere as strong as the Vestigial Tribe. Therefore, we suspect that the Atlan civilization has close ties with the Vestigial Tribe. They might even be descendants of the Vestigial Tribe that swept through the Void Zone in the past.”
Merlin naturally knew what interested Roman the most. Flarite had confirmed it, and Merlin had also found various signs that the Vestigial Tribe were indeed exterminated. It was impossible to leave behind any descendants.
However, this did not stop Merlin from using the idea of Vestigial Tribe descendants to attract Roman. Anyone who knew the Vestigial Creatures and had seen the Atlan civilization would connect them to the Vestigial Tribe.
“What? There are Vestigial Tribe descendants?”
Roman was interested. He hesitated for a moment before saying in a low voice, “You have to take out that Vestigial Tribe relic first. If it’s real, I’ll promise to help you attack your Spell Caster civilization’s opponent. I’ll also go see the Atlan Civilization you’ve mentioned. However, if you don’t show me that relic, none of you will leave here alive!”
Roman was not a mild-tempered person. On the contrary, he was unkind and selfish except for his passion for the Vestigial Tribe. His gaze when it swept over Merlin and Setoh was full of tension.
Merlin was not nervous and instead smiled. “However, it has to be approved by His Majesty Chronos first. That’s because those Vestigial Tribe items are in the Giant Tribe’s ancestral land!”
“The ancestral land?”
Chronos was slightly surprised. Although he came out from the ancestral land, he did not encounter any danger and did not know if there were any Vestigial Tribe relics in the ancestral land.
Chronos was not interested in the Vestigial Tribe at all. Perhaps the Giant Tribe’s predecessors, the Titan Tribe that was incomparably ancient, had even taken part in the great war with the Vestigial Tribe.
However, the Titan Tribe eventually declined, and the Giant Tribe that came later did not know the glory of their ancestors or even why the ancestral land had become so dangerous.
Merlin knew that it was the dimension where the war between the Titan Tribe and the Vestigial Tribe Black Star Warriors had occurred. There were countless Vestigial Tribe relics left there as well as slowly restoring Vestigial Tribe puppets. It was full of things that attracted Roman.
“Heh, Chronos, we’ve known each other for so many years but you’ve never mentioned your Giant Tribe ancestral land before. What Vestigial Tribe relics are there?”
Roman’s gaze swept unkindly over Merlin.
Chronos frowned and recalled carefully. The ancestral land was indeed a mysterious place. When he had accidentally entered it, he was incredibly muddle-headed, and unexpectedly exited without learning anything.
After becoming a Titan Giant, he always felt that there was great danger in the ancestral land and never dared to enter it for a long time. That was how Merlin and the others could bring the Slothful Beast in and successfully take out a drop of heritage blood.
“Does the ancestral land have Vestigial Tribe relics? I feel like it’s very dangerous inside, and there’s even an oppressive force there. Perhaps it wasn’t that only one drop of Heritage Blood left but there was some Heritage Blood scattered in the ancestral land. If Roman can enter it, it’s also a good thing…”
Many thoughts instantly flashed in Chronos’ head, and he finally nodded and said, “Roman, my Giant Tribe’s ancestral land has always been a forbidden land. There are many mysteries in there that even I don’t know about. However, before this, Merlin and Wizard Setoh had entered the ancestral land. Perhaps there are Vestigial Tribe relics. If you’re willing, we can go take a look now.”
Roman hesitated for a moment before nodded. “Alright, I’ll tidy up some things first. If there’s anything left by the Vestigial Tribe, I’ll keep my promise and go to the Spell Caster civilization with you, and then come back to collect the Vestigial Tribe relics.”
Merlin hurriedly took a step forward. “Sir Roman, the gravitational field is very important for the war with the Atlan civilization. If we can move the gravitational field to the battlefield, our odds will be much better.”
“The gravitational field… That’s somewhat troublesome but not impossible. Please wait outside first.”
Roman then quickly flew out of the warship, and left the middle dimension toward another dimension. He was most likely starting to remove the gravitational field array.
This kind of gravitational field was not something that Roman could arrange. He merely obtained a set of equipment for the gravitational field and used this equipment to stimulate the terrifying gravitational field. Almost the entire dimension was armed into a solid fortress.
At the beginning when the Vestigial Tribe swept through the Void Zone, there were countless dimensions armed with gravitational fields like these. Almost every dimension was like a solid fortress, which made countless civilizations suffer terribly.
Therefore, Merlin and Setoh greatly coveted this gravitational field. Of course, they do not want to possess it. As long as Roman took the gravitational field to the battlefield, the warships and puppets of the Atlan civilization would not stand a chance. They would be directly crushed by the gravitational field.
“Boom.”
Suddenly, the eight dimensions around them started to shake, and Merlin and the others quickly flew out of the dimension. They could feel the gravity on their bodies instantly disappear.
“The gravitational field disappeared? Roman can take the gravitational field away!”
Chronos also laughed. He could naturally see how important the gravitational field was. With it, their assurance was even greater.
“Swoosh.”
Soon, Roman reappeared in front of Merlin and others. He laughed and said, “The gravitational magnetic field can be taken to the battlefield. Let’s go. We’ll first go to the Giant Tribe’s ancestral land.”
Roman was very anxious. It seemed that he was fanatical about the Vestigial Tribe relics. He would not be rest assured if he did not confirm them first.
Merlin did not tarry either. If they could finish seeing it earlier, they would be able to return to the Spell Caster civilization earlier and make preparations earlier as well. After all, the battlefield changed rapidly, and no one could be sure of what changes would happen.
…
“Crack.”
In the silent Void Zone, a crisp sound sounded, and a huge dimension quickly disintegrated into a huge rock at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye, and floated quietly in the Void Zone.
“Another dimension has been drained…This is the eighteenth dimension. We’ve destroyed our homeland but now, we’re going to destroy the Void Zone.”
A glittering tall woman wearing gray armor jumped out of the warship and went directly to the newly destroyed dimension.
Outside this dimension were more than a dozen large warships, each emitting a tube-like beam of light, and seemed to be pumping energy from the dimension.
This was an extraction method that disregarded all consequences and could destroy a dimension in an instant. The Atlantic civilization had destroyed many parts of the Atlan dimension with this method.
However, they had rushed out of the Atlan Dimension now. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
“For the continuation of civilization, we have to do so. The Senate has issued an ultimatum. We must build a void-level warship in the shortest possible time. We can only use this method. Fortunately, progress seems good now. The Void Zone is a magical place with infinite resources. If our Atlan civilization enters the Void Zone, we might be able to create the glory of the Vestigial Tribe of the past!”
Another man in gray armor said with a crazy look in his eyes.
