Chapter 817: Besiege!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The never-ending Void Zone appeared quiescent.

However, as the shadows of several figures appeared among the Void Zone, a fearsome power of the natural order rose to the sky, seemingly forming a cloud atop the Void Zone.

“They’re here!”

By the Mother Tree’s side, once again gathered the ultimate existences – Augustus, Ceci, the Avian Monarch, Roman, and Chronos. After so many days had passed, the God Alliance had once again emerged.

The Eight Great Lord Gods along with two Progenitors of the Rock Tribe formed a total of ten ultimate existences. Perhaps in the other places in the Void Zone, such a terrifying force existed in a scale larger than this. However, within the surroundings of the God Alliance in the known history, there had never been a great war of such a scale and size today.

Ten ultimate existences along with the Void-level warship hidden behind were a devastating force of power to be reckoned but the Spell Caster civilization was ready for this.

“I’ll first reveal my true form. Everyone, follow the plan.”

“Voom.”

When the Mother Tree had finished his words, he instantly transformed into a colossal tree that reached the skies, its form larger than the average dimension. It grew rapidly, and its thick root systems planted into the dimensions of the Spell Caster civilization, merging with the offshoot trees that he had laid out earlier. This was the defensive force field that the Mother Tree had meticulously arranged.

“Roar…”

Suddenly, a giant beast of a size beyond comparison slowly appeared before everyone’s eyes. It was the Slothful Beast, and it had appeared right within Mother Tree’s defense circle. Between the two, regardless of which, had formidable defenses.

“Mother Tree, does the Tree Folk Tribe intend to oppose the God Alliance?”

The Lord God of Light had an affected air and disdainful look as he spoke condescendingly. The forces of the Eight Great God Organizations of the God Alliance were the most powerful of all among the civilizations around them. As such, they had the right to be arrogant.

The Mother Tree did not answer but Merlin sneered. “Lord God of Light, do you even have the right to speak for the God Alliance? Or has the God Alliance elected you as their leader?”

Merlin glanced at the other seven great god organizations, none of which took the Lord God of Light’s words of seriously. However, Merlin’s clear attempt at “provocation,” too, had no effects upon them. The seven Lord Gods were not fools. Of course, they could see through Merlin’s intentions to sow discord.

“The God Alliance hasn’t deal with all of you for so many years but all of you seem to have become increasingly unbridled and insolent – Giant Tribe, Avian Tribe, Tree Folk Tribe, and Spell Caster civilization. It’s just as well that we deal with all of you at once this time.”

The Lord God of Darkness appeared even more arrogant than the Lord God of Light although these Lord Gods were not as “foolish” as they seemed on the surface. They only intended to provoke and lure Merlin and the others to come out. After all, everyone knew that the Mother Tree’s defenses were not something that could be easily broken through.

Nevertheless, their little stratagem had been ineffective.

“There’s no need for more nonsense, attack! All Eight Great Lord Gods have descended, what else is there that we cannot destroy?”

The Lord God of Frost scoffed, her tone blunt as strands of the power of the natural order swiftly appeared on her body, and a chill immediately manifested in the Void Zone.

“Do it, for the first time, the God Alliance have come together. Us Eight Great Lord Gods cannot allow ourselves to be made light of. Attack!”

The other Lord Gods too acted, and all Eight Great Lord Gods attacked. That might of power was indeed terrifying as strands of the power of the natural order shone brightly in an array of colors, seemingly consolidating like a “giant” that had been awakened as it forcefully blasted toward the crown of the Mother Tree.

“Bam.”

The colossal tree visibly trembled slightly. Then, the numerous tree crowns of the offshoot trees began to fluctuate constantly, forming a wave of ripples.

Furthermore, these ripples had caused hundreds of dimensions to vibrate. However, in the end, in addition to the ripples and the vibrations of the dimensions, the Eight Great Lord Gods’ attack had not destroyed the Mother Tree’s defensive force field.

“What?”

The Eight Great Lord Gods were shocked. Even though they had known that the Mother Tree’s defenses were strong but it was impossible that it could not be defeated even by the joint forces of the Eight Great Lord Gods.

“Numbers… could also have such an effect.”

Merlin stared contemplatively at the fight between the Mother Tree and the Eight Great Lord Gods. In reality, the one that had defeated the Eight Great Lord Gods’ blow was not the Mother Tree but the blow had been transferred by the Mother Tree into the other overshoot trees that he had prepared in advance. The overshoot trees then transferred the power into their combined dimension.

However, Merlin knew that even after layers of weakening, the Mother Tree alone would not be able to withstand the Eight Great Lord Gods’ continuous attacks.

The reason they were able to withstand it this time was because the Mother Tree had also taken a share of the damage despite his adept defenses. He had probably sustained a significant blow as well.

“Everyone, take action.”

Merlin’s eyes were cold, and unknowingly, his Illusionary World had been unleashed for the first time.

“Boom.”

No one had noticed that the surrounding had changed. It was eminently dark, and while it looked like the Void Zone, in reality, it was the cosmic galaxy, an entirely foreign world.

“Slothful Beast, swallow.”

Merlin gently patted the Slothful Beast’s head, and suddenly, the Slothful Beast raised its giant head and let out a deafening roar. A terrifying sound wave echoed toward all directions.

There was no time and space in the Void Zone. However, the Slothful Beast’s power had surpassed the limits of the space, and even the ultimate existences would suffer the effects.

At first, it was only discomfort but next, the Slothful Beast opened its mouth wide and sucked in sharply. Suddenly, several Lord Gods were fumbling and unsteady as if they were about to be swallowed by the Slothful Beast.

“Look out!”

As this was the first time the Eight Great Lord Gods had gone up against the combined siege of Merlin’s Illusory World and the Slothful Beast, they had faltered, unsure of how to handle the situation, and thus suffered a minor loss.

Fortunately, Merlin’s Illusory World had yet to be perfected, and Merlin’s impact upon them was extremely limited. Soon, they recovered and mobilized the power of the natural order to resist the Slothful Beast’s swallow.

“Was that an illusion earlier? What an incredible illusion. Rumor has it that an existence called the Mind Power Masters had appeared among the Spell Caster civilization. Mind Power was boundless in power and could create realistic illusions even controlling the Heart. It appears that its powers are truly something to behold. Had it been any stronger and we would’ve fallen into the illusion, and the consequences would be unimaginable.”

The Lord God of Darkness controlled Darkness and possessed some understanding of hallucinations. Therefore, he knew the terrors of hallucinations. If even the ultimate existences were pulled into them, they would be in grave danger.

“If it’s powerful enough to affect the Minds of us ultimate existences, then it mustn’t remain!”

The Lord God of Light was also secretly shaken. He knew Merlin’s true powers. In the past, even though he was able to control the Heart, it was already to a terrifying extent. However, he had never expected for him to make such progress in such a short amount of time that he was already able to affect an ultimate existence’s Heart.

After more time had passed, and once he became an ultimate existence, was he to ultimately become invincible?

The Lord God of Light had never felt such fear before. He was genuinely afraid of Merlin’s potential. He had the Slothful Beast, founded the Mind Power system, and could affect even the ultimate existence’s Heart. Yet now, Merlin was only a mere Lord.

Anyone would be fearful of such terrifying potential!

“Lord God of Frost, Lord God of Flame along with the two Progenitors of the Rock Tribe, and I, a total of five ultimate existences will attack Merlin. He controls the Slothful Beast. As long as he’s eliminated, the Slothful Beast will immediately awaken and go berserk, causing the Spell Caster civilization to fall into disarray!”

The more the Lord God of Light thought about it, the more anxious he grew. His gaze locked onto Merlin; a Lord to be besieged by five ultimate existences, and Merlin was probably the first one.

Of course, they had targeted their attacks mostly toward the Slothful Beast but the ultimate target was Merlin.

“Holy Light Purification!”

The Lord God of Light waved his hand, and an all-encompassing holy light enshrouded the Slothful Beast. The Slothful Beast suffered in agony but Merlin had maneuvered the Slothful Beast. Instead of rushing out, they had withdrawn back into the Mother Tree’s field of protection.

Here, the lush tree crowns were the Spell Caster civilization’s aid, providing them with advantages. However, to the God Alliance, the place within was like a maze. If the Mother Tree was not defeated, then they would be dragged along by their pace.

However, the Lord God of Light had secured Merlin’s force since the Slothful Beast was such a huge target, making it impossible to stay hidden.

“The Slothful Beast is formidable; it can’t swallow us. On the contrary, we’re able to seek you out, Merlin. You have endless potential but now, you’re merely just a Lord, die!”

The Lord God of Light, with the help of the other Lord Gods, had finally seized the Slothful Beast, and flew onto its back as he confronted Merlin.

“Lord God of Light, your opponent is us!”

Suddenly, a grim voice sounded. The Lord God of Light instantly turned his head and looked over. Under the cover of the lush canopy were Wizards Augustus and Ceci.

“I’ve forgotten about you guys. Nevertheless, the Mother Tree will soon be defeated. Even at the cost of suffering injury, today, I will kill Merlin!”

The Lord God of Light had long intended to get rid of Merlin. He had made several attempts in the past but Merlin had ultimately escaped. Now, he had begun to fear Merlin’s potential. As such, he would dispose of Merlin at all costs. He would not hesitate even if he had to pay a hefty price.

“Whoosh.”

Thus, the Lord God of Light emitted a vast holy light like white flames capable of burning everything into ashes. This was the Lord God of Light’s “purification”.

Merlin, however, remained unfazed. Instead, his eyes let slip a hint of “taunt.”

“Don’t you think you’re missing something?”

Merlin sneered.

The Lord God of Light came to a sudden realization, and lifted his head. The surrounding area had all been obscured by the crown canopy of the tree. The Lord God of Frost, the Lord God of Flame, and the two Progenitors of the Rock Tribe, without noticing, were nowhere to be seen. Even the Lord God of Light could not sense them.

“No!”

The Lord God of Light was startled. He knew that this was a means of the Mother Tree. The Mother Tree’s True Body form was immaculate. Once trapped inside, everywhere was like a maze, and it was tremendously difficult to escape.

The Mother Tree was adept at defenses. While his attack may be weak, his defenses were terrifying to the extent of abnormal as it was far more durable than the Slothful Beast’s defenses.

“Whiz.”

Without warning, a beam of golden light appeared within the Lord God of Light’s boundless holy light. It was unusually conspicuous that even the Lord God of Light had sensed it.

However, the speed was too fast. So fast that even the Lord God of Light had been unable to react.

“Hehe, Lord God of Light, the great Lord God, we’re your opponents!”

The piercing gaze sent even the Lord God of Light’s heart to palpitate. As a ray of golden light flashed through, his body had already been entangled by a strand of the power of the natural order.

His movement had been staggeringly delayed, and then the golden light flashed again in multiple rounds. All the power of the natural order incessantly enshrouded the Lord God of Light’s body.

As the speed was too fast that even the Lord God of Light could not evade, Wizards Augustus and Ceci approached quickly, and immediately mobilized the power of the natural order and blasted forward in full force and vigor toward the Lord God of Light.

“Lord God of Light, back then, we had exiled you without killing you, and that remained our greatest regret. Now, we’re making up for that!”.

Both Wizards Augustus and Ceci had mobilized the greatest power of the natural order. For a time, all that power had been blasted toward Lord God of Light’s body. The golden light, being the Avian Monarch, could render the Lord God of Light without time to react.

Three ultimate existences besieged the Lord God of Light. It was due to the Lord God of Light’s carelessness that he had been lured into the Mother Tree’s maze, and created such an opportunity.

Every step and every move was carefully planned to utterly annihilate the Lord God of Light!

Everything had gone perfectly until now; there had been almost no mistakes. Even the Lord God of Light could not hold up against three the siege of three ultimate existences.

“Wizard Merlin, quick, I cannot hold on for much longer!”

The Mother Tree’s voice sounded. To siege the Lord God of Light, the Mother Tree had consumed significant power and even used the maze to trap the Lord God of Frost, the Lord God of Flame, and others.

The Mother Tree had almost single-handedly taken on that, along with several other Lord Gods. To seize the Eight Great Lord Gods, even when their powers were dispersed, was not something that even the Mother Tree could manage. It was a miracle itself to be able to have persisted for so long.

Only, the Lord God of Light was still alive. At best, they had only managed to wound him severely. Relying on just three ultimate instances alone to kill the Lord God of Light was beyond difficult, and would take a long time.

“Mother Tree, since you can’t hold on much longer, then don’t. Detonate the dimensions but at the very last moment, tell Chronos and Roman to come forth for the final blow, finish off the Lord God of Light once and for all!”

A hint of madness veiled Merlin’s gaze. They had come to this point. The Mother Tree was injured, and because of this, they had lost four hundred dimensions. If they were still unable to kill the Lord God of Light after all of this, then everything would have failed!

“As you wish!”

Following the sound of the Mother Tree’s voice, the huge canopy began to tremble slightly. Then, a gigantic figure appeared. It was the Titan Giant Chronos, and by his side was the one who had been keeping watch of the activities of the Atlan civilization’s void-level warship, Roman.

However, now, they had both been sent here by the Mother Tree to deliver the final blow to the Lord God of Light.

“Die!”

Titan Giant Chronos’ body inflated, instantly expanding innumerable times, and a giant of incomparable size appeared, and swung a fist toward the Lord God of Light.

When it came to brute strength, no one could beat the Titan Giant. Currently, the Lord God of Light was already barely hanging by a thread, heavily wounded by the ultimate existences, Avian Monarch, and Wizards Augustus and Ceci.

Now, the Titan Giant Chronos would deliver the final blow, ultimately annihilating the Lord God of Light, an ultimate existence!

Sensing the magnitude of the Chronos’ punch as if it carried the force of death, for the first time ever, the Lord God of Light felt death as if his end was near.

“I am the Lord God, my divinity cannot be destroyed, and gods cannot die. Who can annihilate me? Haha…”

The Lord God of Light began to laugh maniacally. Without noticing, an enormous force had formed in his hands, causing the hearts of Merlin, Augustus, the Avian Monarch, and the other surrounding ones, to sink.
