Chapter 804: Void-Level Warship Versus the Slothful Beast!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The black cat Didimoss and the Lord God of Light stood in a stalemate. Meanwhile, Augustus and Ceci could not prevail over the two Rock Tribe Progenitors within a short time.

Hence, a temporary impasse was created on the battlefield!

Nevertheless, everyone knew that as time passed, the situation of the Spell Caster civilization would become more dangerous.

“Marshall, the void-level warship has finished recharging. We can fire again!”

After an unknown period, someone reported to the Marshall.

“Oh? All ready? Fire, then. This time, vanquish Arcane Wizard Ceci!”

The Marshall’s gaze was merciless. He saw that the situation outside was almost evenly-matched. Therefore, they had to strike another heavy blow onto the Spell Caster civilization.

An ultimate existence was the apex power of a civilization. Once the ultimate existences were completely defeated, this civilization would go down without a fight. As for the black cat Didimoss, the Marshall could tell that it would merely be a matter of time before the Lord God of Light trounced him.

Subsequently, the orders were issued to the subordinates. The void-level warship that was hidden in the dark began to lock down Arcane Wizard Ceci.

“Incoming danger!”

Although Wizards Ceci and Augustus were still engaged in a battle with the two Rock Tribe Progenitors, they were constantly watching out for their surroundings. After all, Setoh had been killed with a single strike from the void-level warship which was hidden amid the darkness. Naturally, their guard was heightened.

At this moment, Ceci felt as though he faced a tremendous danger.

“Boom.”

A large ray of light appeared in the pitch-black Void Zone without any warning. It glowed brilliantly. Despite Ceci having sensed the danger, he could not evade it.

If this attack could be evaded with ease, then it would not have constituted the most powerful tactic invented by the Atlan civilization. As a result, despite being aware of the danger, when this dazzling burst of light appeared, Ceci could only sense a tremendous pressure pressing on him.

This was the power that could disintegrate the natural order itself. While Ceci could mobilize the power of the natural order, it was too little. Faced against the attack of the Atlan civilization void-level warship, he was completely defenseless.

Most probably, he already expected that he would meet the same end as Setoh, at the hands of the Atlan civilization void-level warship!

“After Ceci dies, if the Rock Tribe and Light God Organization still cannot defeat the Spell Caster civilization, then they’re truly useless!”

The mysterious Marshall in the warship said with a haughty but confident tone.

It was as if to him, killing an ultimate existence was not even worth mentioning!

“Oh? What’s that?”

The black cat Didimoss also instinctively sensed the fearsomeness of that ray of light. Even he dared not swallow it as it was filled with the aura of destruction.

Nevertheless, the current Merlin kept his eyes closed. He was Merlin’s Maxim avatar who was communicating with Merlin.

“They’ve arrived!”

Merlin opened his eyes abruptly and looked into a distance of the Void Zone.

The moment the dazzling ray began to glow, an incredibly massive creature also appeared in the empty Void Zone. The creature was heading toward the battlefield at top speed.

“Slothful Beast, go ahead.”

This huge creature was, of course, the Slothful Beast controlled by Merlin. However, at this moment, Merlin was the only one riding atop the Slothful Beast. Roman, Flarite, and the others had already left long ago.

This was because the moment they arrived at the battlefield, Merlin had already told them the truth. Setoh was not killed by the God Alliance but the Atlan civilization’s void-level warship!

Flarite did not say anything. After spending so much time in the Flare Region World, he was already prepared to join the Spell Caster civilization. Therefore, regardless of any danger, he would still follow.

The key person in this war was Roman. If they did not have Roman on their side, especially at such a critical juncture, even with the Slothful Beast, it would be difficult for Merlin to change the perilous situation faced by the Spell Caster civilization.

Luckily for them, Roman did not seem to mind. Instead, he appeared very interested. A void-level warship that could kill an ultimate existence immediately reminded Roman of one of the strongest tactics used by the Vestigial Tribe.

Therefore, Roman followed Merlin to the battlefield. Nevertheless, they were currently in hiding. Only Merlin and the Slothful Beast returned to the battlefield first.

“Bang.”

The dazzling ray impacted violently on the extraordinarily the Slothful Beast’s massive body. Despite being in a deep slumber, the Slothful Beast could sense the painful rip on its body. After all, this was a fearsome force that could disintegrate the natural order.

The Slothful Beast howled in pain. The light ray had seared a huge bloody hole into its body. The blood-filled cavern looked extremely scary. However, compared the Slothful Beast’s massive size, this injury was not significant. Moreover, the Slothful Beast’s healing abilities were quite astounding. Hence, this small cut disappeared almost instantly.

Although the Slothful Beast had completely recovered, Merlin was secretly more guarded than before. He knew the Slothful Beast’s true extent of abilities. Previously, when the three great Arcane Wizards had attacked the Slothful Beast together, they were unable to harm it no matter the volley of attacks that were unleashed. On the other hand, just a single light ray from the Atlan civilization’s void-level warship was able to injure the Slothful Beast. This was a testament to the fearsomeness of the Atlan civilization’s new void-level warship. Killing an ultimate existence was not merely a lucky strike on their part. The warship was undeniably capable of such a terrifying feat.

“Swish.”

The initially indifferent and calm-faced Marshall stood up immediately upon watching this scene on his screen. For the first time, he could not maintain his composure. He stared dead ahead at the huge creature on the screen.

“This is happening? Why did the void-level warship fail to kill this creature that appeared out of nowhere? Investigate now, what’s that creature?”

For the very first time, the Marshall was enraged. The gray-armored guards beside him were intimidated, and dared not speak up.

The Void Zone was truly too vast and unending, so even the Atlan civilization only had a limited amount of information. As for the Marshall and the others, when they laid their eyes upon the Slothful Beast, they did not know actual details of it.

Nonetheless, very soon, the Atlan civilization transmitted all the detailed information regarding the Slothful Beast to the warship.

The more the Marshall read about the Slothful Beast, the uglier his expression morphed into. The introduction of the Slothful Beast was relatively comprehensive. The Atlan civilization kept an exclusive record of the Void Zone’s information. However, information such as those about the Slothful Beast was not accessible to just anybody. Therefore, it was after the Slothful Beast appeared and the Marshall ordered an investigation, that he was finally privy to read this information.

The various information gathered regarding the Slothful Beast stirred up a slight frustration in the Marshall. From all this information, the only conclusion he could glean about the Slothful Beast was that there was simply no solution!

Yes, it was practically impossible to get rid of the Slothful Beast. Relying on the current void-level warship, it would be very difficult for them to kill the Slothful Beast.

Of course, the Vestigial Tribe left behind a lot of information, including some powers that were more impressive than the void-level warship such as the legendary Golden Ray Armor. If they could replicate such an armor, then the Slothful Beast would not amount to a threat.

However, the Atlan civilization was still eons away from creating a Golden Ray Armor. They had not achieved any breakthrough in creating the Brain of Life.

“How could it be possible for someone to tame the Slothful Beast? Legend Glory from the Spell Caster civilization? Is he Wizard Merlin, the one who can control minds and founded the Mind Power system in the Spell Caster civilization?”

Via some special method, the Marshall was able to clearly spot Merlin who was controlling the Slothful Beast. The fact that the supreme commander of the Atlan civilization knew of Merlin spoke volumes of his influence on the war.

Of course, Merlin’s influence was most apparent in the last battle. Merlin had almost single-handedly turned the tide of the last battle. To date, the Atlan civilization had not found a way to overcome his Mind Control abilities. Therefore, Merlin’s threat level was regarded as second only to the three great Arcane Wizards. Naturally, he was well “observed” by the Atlan civilization.

“Marshall, what should we do now?”

Upon seeing that menacing Slothful Beast, many seemed flustered. The tide was turned in an instant. While one Slothful Beast would not be able to defeat the Atlan civilization, added with the two Ultimate Arcane Wizards, and the black cat Didimoss, the Spell Caster civilization was no longer at a disadvantage.

The only threat remaining was the Atlan civilization’s void-level warship. If the warship launched a stealthy attack on someone else, most probably, the Slothful Beast would not be in time to save them. In addition, while Merlin’s Mind Power was fully engaged in controlling the Slothful Beast, he would not be able to wield Mind Control against the Rock Tribe and the Atlan civilization.

“What to do? Retreat, we can only retreat for now. We must wait until the void-level warship is stabilized so that it can attack continuously. When that time comes, even the Slothful Beast might not be able to withstand it, let alone the rest of the ultimate existences.”

The Marshall was well-aware that the void-level warship’s capabilities were not limited to this current level. Right now, it was because they were just beginning to master the void-level warship. With a little more time, they would get more familiar with the void-level warship, and also decrease the amount of energy needed to fire the main cannon. Only such a warship would be truly a force to be reckoned with – a real void-level warship!

Following the Marshall’s decision, the two Rock Tribe Progenitors and the Lord God of Light were notified by the Atlan civilization. Regardless of the Lord God of Light’s petulance, looking at the Slothful Beast, even he knew that it would be risky to continue.

Thus, they began to retreat!

With the retreat of the three ultimate existences, the Atlan civilization’s warships, puppets, and other forces also retreated in an orderly manner. Despite Merlin’s ability to control the Slothful Beast, it was not an omnipotent creature and had its inherent weaknesses.

For example, its greatest weakness was its relatively slow speed. While the Slothful Beast was not at all considered slow compared to most casting tools, it was still too slow compared to the Atlan civilization’s warship. Even if Merlin steered the Slothful Beast to chase after them, he would not be able to catch up.

Therefore, Merlin did not chase after them. Moreover, he hoped to wait until Chronos arrived together with the ultimate existences of the Avian Tribe and the Tree Tribe. Then, they would be able to present their impressive force and directly defeat the Rock Tribe, the Light God Organization, and the Atlan civilization.

“Hmm? Where’s Sir Roman?”

Merlin suddenly remembered Flarite, Roman, and the others, so he searched for them. He only saw Flarite and the other two but could not spot Roman’s figure.
