Chapter 794: The Gravitational Field

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chronos gave Monre a set of instructions. With Monre overseeing the Giant Tribe, Chronos could be rest assured.

“Let’s go. My good friend’s place isn’t easy to locate.”

Chronos immediately flew on top of the Slothful Beast.

Merlin could only wield his Mind Power to steer the Slothful Beast, flying forward slowly according to Chronos’ directions. With the Slothful Beast’s speed, they soon left the Giant Tribe’s territory and entered the pitch-black stretch of the Void Zone. However, the darkness of the Void Zone was nothing to Merlin and the rest.

However, the further they went, the more they were unable to discern the path ahead. Wizard Setoh was slightly taken aback. “We’re approaching the dark territory?”

The dark territory was a relatively unfamiliar name but Merlin vaguely remembered that during the solo war between Setoh Arcane City and the Rock Tribe, the dark territory was mentioned.

This so-called dark territory was a sweep of darkness, wide, and boundless. Any Mind Power or senses, no matter what technique, would lose all sense of direction upon entering the dark territory. No one could wander among the dark territory, not even ultimate existences.

This was because in the dark territory, one could not feel any power of the natural order.

Considering how scary the dark territory was, it was like an insurmountable barrier. Thus, it had turned into a natural border of the Void Zone. Once one had reached the dark territory, this meant that they had reached the border of the Void Zone at a certain point. Before them was only the vast, boundless, terrifying dark territory.

“The Rock Tribe is trapped against the dark territory, and can only expand in the direction of the Spell Caster civilization!”

Merlin currently had a more intimate understanding because even without reaching the dark territory, it was already so difficult for him to make out the path ahead, to say nothing of the actual dark territory.

It was not surprising that the Rock Tribe would try everything they could to expand outward wantonly because the place near the dark territory was difficult to survive, much less cultivate a civilization.

“Someone is living so close to the dark territory?”

Merlin, Setoh, and the rest were suspicious. In general, no one would choose to live near the dark territory, not even formidable ultimate existences.

However, Chronos shook his head helplessly. “My friend is in somewhat of a special situation. You’ll understand when we reach.”

Chronos was unwilling to explain further, only guiding the way ahead. Merlin did not give it more thought, and steered the Slothful Beast. At the same time, he observed the dark territory that was getting nearer.

This dark territory looked just like a black veil, exuding an abstruse presence. No one knew how vast it was nor whether in the infinite dark territory there was another world like the Void Zone.

Back then, Aruba did not mention the dark territory so Merlin did not learn whether every Latitude Cosmos was like this.

Merlin and the rest traced the border of the dark territory as they moved forward. At last, they saw nine full dimensions before them but these dimensions were extremely strange. Eight of them were arranged in a circle, and the centermost dimension was the biggest, right in the middle.

“Alright, my good friend is in that centermost dimension. Let’s go!”

A smile appeared on Chronos’ face but Setoh’s expression was solemn. He seemed to discern a peculiarity at a glance.

“These aren’t naturally occurring dimensions. They were slowly created through the power of the natural order.”

Merlin’s heart leaped and he asked softly, “This means that these nine dimensions are like Arcane City?”

“That’s right. Each of these isn’t inferior to Arcane City!”

Upon hearing Setoh’s confirmation, Merlin fell silent and became more wary of Chronos’ mysterious friend. Although ultimate existences were able to create dimensions, one or two were already the limit. However, the scene before them had nine complete dimensions, and each of them was not inferior to the three Arcane Cities.

“Let’s go. No matter who, the stronger they are, the more help they’ll be to us!”

Setoh was currently filled with curiosity toward this enigmatic ultimate existence. The stronger this individual was, the more helpful they would be after being roped in by the Spell Caster civilization. This was a good thing.

Merlin nodded then quickly steered the Slothful Beast to follow behind Chronos.

“Boom.”

As soon as they stepped into the nine dimensions, there was instantly a heavy feeling as if an extreme weight was crushing everyone mercilessly. Even the Slothful Beast’s body shuddered slightly, evidently a sign that it was struggling against Merlin’s Hallucinating spell.

“What’s going on?”

Merlin and Setoh were frozen in astonishment, staring at Chronos in front.

Nonetheless, Chronos wore a look of helplessness as he shook his head. “It’s a gravitational field. Everyone, my good friend is named Roman. He had been hiding here, researching strange matters. This is a gravitational field that will affect even ultimate existences. However, he didn’t amplify the gravitational field here, so we still can endure it. Let’s go. You must follow behind me closely, otherwise, something unexpected might happen.”

Upon hearing Chronos’ explanation, Merlin and Setoh’s doubts were still unassuaged.

“That’s not it, I seemed to have seen this type of gravitational field… It must be a technique of the Vestigial Tribe! That’s right, I remember now. This is a technique of the Vestigial Tribe. Back when Sir Flare Emperor had led us to take over a dimension controlled by the Vestigial Tribe, countless powerful civilizations were attacked by this gravitational field. It was too terrifying. Under the pressure of gravity, anyone unprotected by the natural order was instantly crushed to bits!”

Flarite’s face turned serious, seemingly apprehensive toward this gravitational field.

The Vestigial Tribe had many tricks. Back during the great war, although the Thirty-six Emperors were leading countless civilizations and tribes, in truth, other than ultimate existences who had merged with the natural order, no one else was of much help.

Based solely on a gravitational field like this, the Vestigial Tribe was able to crush any non-ultimate existences. Each of the Vestigial Tribe’s dimensions was set up with a powerful gravitational field, so every time they were prepared to seize a Vestigial Tribe dimension, an ultimate existence would take the first step to destroy the gravitational field within the dimension before the rest could enter.

“A gravitational field… Which means that this gravitational field isn’t in its strongest state?”

Merlin asked softly.

Flarite nodded. “It doesn’t seem to be in its strongest state. Once that state is activated, other than the Slothful Beast and Chronos, even I’ll be crushed to smithereens instantly.”

Merlin looked around. The eight dimensions seemed to have sealed off the Void Zone, and the area within was filled with this terrifying gravitational force.

In the previous war, the Vestigial Tribe must have designed each dimension in this manner. How difficult was it for the Thirty-six Emperors to lead the many civilizations? Even seizing one dimension was immensely challenging, requiring a heavy price.

Even though Merlin now knew much about the Vestigial Tribe such as the Black Star Armor, the puppets, the warships, and so on, it was only as he stared at this gravitational field that Merlin had truly experienced the terrifying methods of the Vestigial Tribe that earned them the label of a “catastrophe”.

“This place is filled with the gravitational field. This Roman that Chronos spoke of, how can he possess the gravitational field that belongs only to the Vestigial Tribe? Can he be connected to the Vestigial Tribe?”

Fresh doubts were born in the hearts of Merlin and the rest. Chronos had mentioned repeatedly that this mysterious ultimate existence was somewhat special, never giving a detailed explanation.

Nevertheless, since they were already here, they could only follow behind Chronos on their way to meet an enigmatic ultimate existence, to see what was so special about him.
