A Wizard's Secret

Chapter 851 - Dominion



“This is bad, leave!”

The Eight Great Lord Gods finally sensed Merlin’s threat. With a wave of his hand, Merlin was able to trap all eight of them. Even the mysterious Marshal’s warship was destroyed with ease.

However, even more chilling was the words Merlin uttered to the Marshal. The entire Atlan civilization had disappeared.

Following a strong struggle from the Eight Great Lord Gods, Merlin’s gravitational field seemed to loosen slightly. After all, these were the Eight Great Lord Gods who were comparable to eight ultimate existences.

Merlin’s entire body glistened with a golden ray that permeated the Void Zone around them, causing the Eight Great Lord Gods to feel uneasy.

“Lord God of Light, you won’t be able to escape.”

Merlin’s gaze locked upon the Lord God of Light, then he pointed a figure.

“Bang”.

The gravitational field increased several folds. The Lord God of Light’s body exploded in the Void Zone, however, there was no blood. Regardless, this scene was still extremely chilling to watch.

This was an ultimate existence! Not only was Merlin able to bind the Eight Great Lord Gods concurrently, but he also vanquished a Lord God.

“Merlin, you can’t kill me. As long as divinity isn’t extinguished, a god cannot die!”

Suddenly, the Lord God of Light’s voice boomed. A sky filled with holy light coalesced into the Lord God of Light once again. Merlin’s earlier hit had indeed destroyed the Lord God of Light’s body, in fact, it was a grievous injury.

However, it did not hurt his essence. The essence of the gods was their divinity, so as long as their divinity was not extinguished, they would never die. Even if their bodies were smashed into smithereens, the gods could consolidate a new body by using their holy light.

“Divinity?”

A smile appeared between Merlin’s lips. With the Golden Ray Armor, no one could stand against him, what more a measly divinity?

“Swish swish swish”.

Although the Lord God of Light did not die, the Eight Great Lord Gods already learned of Merlin’s formidableness. Therefore, they sprinted in different directions to escape. Due to the gravitational field, their speed was exceptionally slow, but with their combined powers, they were able to displace Merlin’s gravitational field slightly.

After all, in order for Merlin to bind the Eight Great Lord Gods concurrently, the power of the gravitational field had to be spread out.

Merlin took a single glance at the Eight Great Lord Gods, and then his figure flashed away.

“Whoosh”.

Merlin’s figure vanished completely, not leaving even a trace of an aura behind. At the same time, the gravitational field around the Eight Great Lord Gods disappeared.

“What happened?”

The Eight Great Lord Gods were stunned, they did not know what was happening. Merlin simply vanished without a trace. However, the Void Zone did not contain any space.

“Did he conceal himself?”

No sooner than the Lord God of Frost spoke, everyone saw that behind the Lord God of Light, loomed a figure. Subsequently, the golden rays turned dazzling in an instant.

“What? Concealment, real concealment?”

At this moment, besides the Eight Great Lord Gods, Roman and the others inside the stealthy flying ship in a distance were equally shaken. Especially Roman. His stealth flying ship excelled in concealment, but could not accomplish what Merlin had just done, which was concealing any trace of an aura and appearing silently beside an ultimate existence.

“The Golden Ray Armor doesn’t just have the gravitational field!”

Merlin’s eyes were stone-cold as he waved a golden arm.

“Bang”.

An immense gravitational force slammed straight into the newly consolidated body of the Lord God of Light and smashed him into smithereens. Merlin no longer kept the other Lord Gods bound, so his gravitational field could smash the Lord God of Light easily.

“I’ve told you, as long as divinity isn’t extinguished, a god cannot die. Haha, forever I will not...”

The Lord God of Light choked abruptly. Following that, a petrifying aura that made all the ultimate existences feel threated appeared. It was the golden flames on Merlin’s body.

These golden flames burned ablaze and swiftly enveloped the body which was being consolidated by the Lord God of Light. Immediately, the Lord God of Light shrieked, agony evident in his voice.

“As long as divinity exists, a god cannot die. In that case, I’ll extract your divinity!”

Underneath the golden ray, Merlin’s voice was incomparably ruthless. His entire body wrapped inside the golden ray. With a vicious grip of his hands, a strand of divinity began to leak out amidst the flames.

“Whoosh”.

Inside Merlin’s palms, a strand of divinity appeared exuding an overwhelming godly might. This was not an ordinary divinity but a Lord God-level divinity which had just been extracted from the Lord God of Light.

“My divinity, how is that possible?”

The Lord God of Light’s body started trembling. Looking at the sky-high golden flames, he was terrified. Upon the loss of his divinity, his death would be absolute.

“Merlin can extract divinity?”

The seven remaining Lord Gods seemed to be reeling in disbelief, but that strand of divinity could not be faked. Furthermore, the Lord God of Light’s aura was indeed starting to weaken.

The ability to extract divinity was a huge blow to the Lord Gods’ hearts. Endless terror filled the air as the powerful Lord Gods tried to escape as far they could. The farther from Merlin, the better.

Suppression of Lord Gods, extraction of divinity, all of these exceeded their knowledge of ultimate existence. Moreover, they could not sense the aura of an ultimate existence on Merlin’s body.

“It’s the Vestigial Tribe. The Vestigial Tribe’s power...”

The Lord God of Light screamed, but he was already engulfed by the golden flames. His body was burned into ash and he vanished completely from the Void Zone.

The Lord God of Light who troubled the Spell Caster civilization for countless years was finally dead. In the end, he could not put up a single ounce of resistance, as his divinity was extracted in plain sight.

“Burn!”

Merlin glanced at the divinity in his hand. Without a moment’s hesitation, he tossed it into the Illusory World and set it alight.

“Rumble rumble”.

Merlin’s Illusory World developed faster and expanded bigger.

“The Lord God of Light is dead, and his divinity has been burned... Quickly go, go go go!”

The Lord God of Flame watched with alarm. He had never met a person as terrifying as Merlin who could crush a Lord God and extract his divinity from his body.

In order to extract a divinity, the opponent must possess an absolute edge in terms of power, unequivocally. Then, only was it possible to extract the divinity alive.

This showed that Merlin was far more powerful than an average Lord God, to an unimaginable extent. Let alone them, even more Lord Gods would not be Merlin’s opponent.

Thus, the seven Lord Gods decided to leave immediately.

A mocking smile appeared on Merlin’s lips.

“Gravitational field!”

Another burst of gravitational force bounded the seven Lord Gods. Their speeds became immensely slow. At the same time, Merlin’s figure disappeared once again.

“Bang”.

Wrapped in golden flames, Merlin mysteriously appeared beside the Lord God of Flames. With a large clap, he crushed the Lord God of Light into dust.

“Merlin, don’t kill me. I’m a powerful Lord God of Flame. I’m willing to lead the Flame God Organization to join the Spell Caster civilization!”

As soon as the Lord God of Flame’s body was crushed, his divinity coalesced into a horrified face as he pleaded with Merlin.

“Fire God Organization? What use would a god be to the Spell Caster civilization?”

Merlin shook his head. The Flame God Organization controlled by the Lord God of Light was indeed a huge force, not at all inferior to the Avian Tribe. After all, each of the eight largest god organizations in the God Alliance could rival a powerful civilization.

However, the current Merlin had no need for gods. Even if the gods were to join the Spell Caster civilization, Merlin had no way to control the Lord God of Flame. Sooner or later, there would be trouble.

Therefore, he spared no mercy. The golden ray transformed into a large hand that directly extracted the Lord God of Flame’s divinity and tossed it into the Illusory World to burn.

Merlin’s Illusory World was expanding at an unprecedented speed. Even Merlin could feel a growing aura. It seemed that his Illusory World would most likely be able to affect an ultimate existence at this point.

Of course, the effect would be quite minor and not very extensive. After all, Merlin’s Illusory World was still far from perfect.

“Not enough, it’s still insufficient to perfect the Illusory World. I need more Lord God-level divinities!”

Merlin turned his gaze towards the other Lord Gods. After seeing Merlin kill the Lord God of Light and the Lord God of Flame consecutively and extracting their divinities alive, the remaining Lord Gods were completely cowed. For the first time, they regretted agreeing to the Atlan civilization’s proposition.

However, while Merlin was extracting the divinities from the Lord God of Light and the Lord God of Flame, the six 1* remaining Lord Gods were moving away from the gravitational field, albeit very slowly. Nevertheless, they still managed to flee a considerable distance.

“Phew...”

The six Lord Gods heaved a sigh. They could feel the restraint of the gravitational field ebb away. Moving as quickly as they could, they mobilized the power of natural order and fled in various directions.

“No matter what, this Merlin won’t be able to deal with six of us at the same time, right?”

Perhaps, this was the thought process of the five remaining Lord Gods. Using all their strength, they fled to the best of their abilities. Even if they were ambushed by a few ultimate existences, it would be difficult to stop them.

This was the trouble of dealing with the ultimate existences. They were very hard to kill, and if allowed to escape, would lead to endless problems in the future.

“I guess I’m still unfamiliar with the powers of the Golden Ray Armor... However, the Golden Ray Armor supposedly comparable to the Thirty-six Emperors can’t even deal with a few paltry Lord Gods?”

Enveloped by the golden flames, Merlin’s face turned grim. In reality, although it might look like Merlin held the upper hand in the earlier battle that killed the Lord God of Light and the Lord God of Flame, he was actually still adapting and familiarizing himself with the powers of the Golden Ray Armor.

“The Golden Ray Armor’s strongest ability, on par with the formidable tactics of the Thirty-six Emperors – the annihilation function!”

Merlin was not a Golden Ray Warrior. He was only able to control the Golden Light Armor because the Matrix swallowed up its program. Therefore, the annihilation function was popped up by the program. It was the Golden Ray Armor’s strongest ability.

As for its impact, Merlin was not entirely certain. He only knew that it consumed more energy. Ordinarily, a Golden Ray Warrior would only use the annihilation function when faced against the Thirty-six Emperors.

“Hum”.

A strange fluctuation spread slowly from the Golden Ray Armor. Then, like water ripples, it spread rapidly in every direction.

This fluctuation was silent and invisible. If not for Merlin’s keen Mind Power, he would not detect it. Moreover, it did not seem to exude any earth-shattering type of power.

However, as the annihilation function began to spread out with Merlin at its center, anywhere it touched, whether it was a former Atlan warship or huge dimension fragments, all of them were pulverized. It was as if nothing could stand in the way of this annihilation function. That was how Merlin discovered its effects.

“Bang bang bang bang bang bang.”

Six consecutive explosions sounded. Merlin saw the six remaining Lord Gods in a distance being annihilated as the annihilation function passed by. However, this time, they could no longer be resurrected.

This was because even their respective divinities were completely reduced to ash. The annihilation function was definitely a horrible force that destroyed anything and everything in its way!
