Chapter 805: Roman’s Gift!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Roman had disappeared. Merlin could not spot him using Mind Power nor did Flarite knew what was happening. It was like Roman just vanished suddenly.
“Did Roman leave?”
Merlin was guessing in his heart. Just then, amid the Void Zone before them, the troops of Rock Tribe, Light God Organization, Atlan civilization warships, and puppets that were retreating in an orderly fashion suddenly encountered an invisible force.
Their figures paused momentarily. Then, some of the puppets’ bodies were crushed and exploded.
“Bang bang bang.”
These were the explosion noises of several puppets and warships that rose into the air.
“Crack.”
Subsequently, cracks began to appear on the dimension-level warships. These were warships capable of killing a Great Lord. However, under this invisible force, they were completely defenseless.
Even the Great Lords felt their speeds significantly restrained. It was extremely difficult to even move a single step!
“Gravitational field?”
In one of the warships, the mysterious Marshal was caught by surprise for the first time. Before this, the appearances of the black cat Didimoss and the Slothful Beast were merely viewed as annoyances.
On the other hand, this was a gravitational field, a power that once belonged to the Vestigial Tribe. Even the Atlan civilization was still in the process of studying it. They had not mastered the technique of wielding these gravitational fields. Otherwise, they would not have needed these puppets, and the war would not have continued for such a long time.
“We haven’t been able to replicate the gravitational fields. How would there be a gravitational field here?”
On the mysterious Marshal’s warship, an energy shield began to appear. Although the Atlan civilization had not been able to invent the gravitational fields, ironically, they had been able to develop their anti-gravitational tactics. Hence, the warship that carried the most highly protected Marshal was equipped with all the newest technology of the Atlan civilization.
As for the void-level warship, the moment the gravitational field appeared, it immediately commenced escape. The void-level warship was not just equipped with a terrifying main cannon but its speed was almost unbeatable by even the ultimate existences.
Due to this reason, the Vestigial Tribe was able to count on these three tactics – warships that could kill an ultimate existence, the Golden Ray, Black Star, and Silver Light Armor as well as the gravitational fields. With just these three tactics, they were able to dominate the entire Void Zone.
At this moment, looking at the warships, puppets, Rock Tribe contenders, Light God believers, and many others were bound by the gravitational field. One after another, they were crushed by the powerful gravitational force.
This was similar to the gravitational force field that used to be set up by the Vestigial Tribe in the past. Upon stepping into it, there was almost no chance of survival.
“Haha, Merlin, since I’m here, of course I’ll have to present you a gift. What do you think about this gift?”
Amid the Void Zone, a figure emerged from the darkness. It was Roman. He was the one who had activated the gravitational force field and killed a large portion of Rock Tribe, Atlan civilization, and Light God Organization’s troops in a single swoop.
“Damn it. Rock Tribe Progenitors, Lord God of Light, this is a gravitational force field. Only an ultimate existence can tear it apart. Why are you still standing there?”
The Marshal was practically roaring at them, not at all concerned about offending the ultimate existences before him. On the contrary, he found them to be complete idiots. Working with them was a mistake on the Atlan civilization’s part.
However, in this situation, he had no choice but to work with them!
The Lord God of Light and the two Rock Tribe Progenitors finally regained their senses. The three ultimate existences pinpointed Roman’s whereabouts, and all of them launched an attack at him.
“Hehe, this is just the beginning. The one you use to kill the ultimate existences is the void-level warship, right? I’ve only seen it among the information left behind by the Vestigial Tribe. I must admit I’m terribly interested, haha…”
Roman did not seem to care about the three ultimate existences. With a quick flash of his figure, it was as if he had not appeared. All they could see was a faint wisp of light traversing silently across the Void Zone. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared without a trace.
“Stealth flying ship? Damn it, how could someone obtain so many precious items left behind by the Vestigial Tribe?”
As soon as the mysterious Marshal saw that faint wisp of light, which was Roman, a warship resembling a flying ship appeared. Technically, it was not a warship per se but a special flying machine specifically invented by the Vestigial Tribe according to the characteristics of the Void Zone to which was devoid of time and space. The result was a special flying machine which boasted unparalleled speeds.
It was known as the stealth flying ship. By using the stealth flying ship in the Void Zone, the person would not only be very difficult to trace but even if he was discovered, it would be impossible to catch up to the stealth flying ship unless a trap had been laid out beforehand. Otherwise, only the existences such as the Thirty-six Emperors could possibly restrain it.
“With the stealth flying ship, this person is our biggest threat. We won’t be able to harm him. Even if the void-level warship is recharged, we can’t defeat him!”
The mysterious Marshal felt troubled for the first time. He could not care less if the opponent was a powerful existence but this time, the opponent was employing formidable tactics of the Vestigial Tribe which were highly desired by the Atlans.
The gravitational force field and the stealth flying ship. These two items were the apex abilities of the Vestigial Tribe during their golden era. At the Atlan civilization’s current ability level, they were completely unable to master these technologies.
Fortunately, they had the two Rock Tribe Progenitors and the Lord God of Light on their side. Although they were still unable to defeat the Spell Caster civilization, at such a critical juncture, the three ultimate existences posed a threat to Roman, nonetheless. Despite having a few tactics of the Vestigial Tribe such as the gravitational force field and the stealth flying ship, Roman would still be in danger if he was surrounded by the three ultimate existences.
“We’ve lost so much. Retreat and stand guard!”
The mysterious Marshal commanded sullenly. It had not been easy for them to break out of their dimension. He certainly did not wish to be exiled back into the Atlan Dimension by the Spell Caster civilization like what had happened the last time.
…
“Swish.”
Roman flew before Merlin once again. He glanced at the few straggling Atlan civilization warships and puppets in the distance, and shook his head. “If only the two Arcane Wizards could restrain the two Rock Tribe Progenitors and Merlin used the Slothful Beast to restrain the Lord God of Light, I would have been able to wipe out all the Atlan civilization warships and puppets!”
Roman seemed slightly frustrated. He had been hoping to defeat the Atlan civilization in a single confrontation. Of course, he was only interested in the Atlan civilization. Before this, he held doubts as to Merlin’s allegations about the Atlan civilization but now, he fully regarded the Atlan civilization as descendants of the Vestigial Tribe.
Even if they were not direct descendants, they were certainly linked to the Vestigial Tribe in some ways. This was because their power system was quite similar to the Vestigial Tribe. However, they were not as powerful as the Vestigial Tribe back then. Hence, many of the most sophisticated tactics had not been mastered by the Atlan civilization.
Otherwise, his gravitational force field would not have been effective because the Vestigial Tribe also possessed anti-gravitational tactics.
Naturally, Merlin was aware that they had missed out on a golden opportunity. Nevertheless, he also had his fair share of problems. Although it might appear easy for him to steer the Slothful Beast earlier, in reality, when the Slothful Beast was injured by the void-level warship, it almost awoke from the illusion.
If this possibility came true and the Slothful Beast descended into a rampage, it would not only be the Atlan civilization that would be wiped out. Even the Spell Caster civilization would be gravely wounded by the Slothful Beast.
Therefore, Merlin mobilized almost every last bit of his Mind Power and every trick in his book to soothe the injured Slothful Beast. Finally, he was able to gradually soothe the Slothful Beast.
After all, Merlin did not control the Slothful Beast. As such, such inherent flaws existed. In other words, he could not have used the Slothful Beast to restrain the Lord God of Light back then. Thus, Merlin had no choice but to allow the Atlan civilization to escape.
Regardless of what his mind was thinking, Merlin would not admit it aloud. Instead, he replied confidently, “Sir Roman, don’t worry. Now, at least the situation is stabilized. The Atlan civilization’s void-level warship also has some flaws. At least, we know that it cannot launch a killing blow at the ultimate existences consecutively. Moreover, the void-level warship shouldn’t be faster than your flying ship, right? Later, once His Majesty Chronos arrives with the ultimate existences of the Avian Tribe and the Tree Tribe, what use will the void-level warship be?”
Roman thought carefully. Indeed, he had the stealth flying ship, and it was not limited to carrying him alone. Once Chronos and the others had arrived, he could carry them in the stealth flying ship and sneak up to the Atlan civilization’s void-level warship. With the combined powers of a few ultimate existences, they would be able to tear the warship apart.
“Good, that’s a good idea. In that case, we’ll wait a few more days! Hehe, but first of all, if we obtain that void-level warship, you have to hand it over to me!”
Naturally, Roman’s fixation was on the mysterious void-level warship.
Merlin’s heart skipped a beat. Everyone had witnessed the power of the void-level warship. Such a terrifying power – a power that could kill an ultimate existence was dangerous in anybody’s hands.
Thus, it was tricky for him to acquiesce with Roman’s request.
Merlin could only reply him with a troubled look. “Sir Roman, right now we haven’t even defeated the Atlan civilization. It’s difficult to say whether we’ll be able to obtain the void-level warship. If the Atlan civilization retreated straight into the Atlan Dimension, are you going to chase them there? Therefore, I say that we wait until we obtain the void-level warship first, then we can discuss.”
Previously, Roman had also obtained some information on the Atlan civilization from Merlin. So, he knew that in the Atlan Dimension, it was impossible to sense the natural order. Even with the gravitational force field and the stealth flying ship, if he were to breach past the Atlan Dimension, it would lead to certain doom.
Just as Roman was deep in thought, Augustus and Ceci flew toward them. They looked at Merlin with astonishment. Previously when they sent Setoh’s avatar and Merlin to the Giant Tribe for “assistance”, it was merely a ploy for Merlin to go away, and to leave behind a seedling for the Spell Caster civilization.
Unexpectedly, Merlin had succeeded and brought back a Slothful Beast as well as this mysterious Roman!
“Legend Glory… No, it should be the Glory Lord now! You’re the biggest contributor to the Spell Caster civilization. We’re also thankful to this ultimate existence here for extending your hand to the Spell Caster civilization.”
Augustus was immediately able to tell that Merlin was already a Lord! With two ultimate Maxims – Darkness and Flame, Merlin had achieved the accomplishment of a Lord, similar to the Blackfire Lord back then. Merlin truly was the Blackfire Lord’s disciple.
Nonetheless, Merlin’s strongest ability lied not in his Spell Caster abilities but his Mind Power system. The fact that Merlin was able to steer a Slothful Beast amazed the two ultimate existences to no end.
“This is His Majesty Chronos’ good friend, Sir Roman! His Majesty Chronos will also contact the ultimate existences of the Avian Tribe and Tree Tribe. Together with them, we’ll fight against the Atlan civilization, Rock Tribe, and Light God Organization!”
Merlin knew that this was the greatest calamity faced by the Spell Caster civilization so far. Therefore, some good news was needed to calm their hearts and stabilize the situation.
“What? The ultimate existences from the Avian Tribe and the Tree Tribe will also be coming?”
As soon as the news was spilled from Merlin’s lips, Augustus and Ceci as well as the remaining twenty-six Lords appeared overjoyed. Instantly, the shadow of doubt in their hearts were cleared.
Once everyone was here, there would be a total of six ultimate existences. Counting in the Slothful Beast, they would have a total of seven ultimate existences, which was not that far from the force of the God Alliance.
Compared to the almighty God Alliance, they consisted of the eight largest god organizations, which equated to just eight ultimate existences!
