Chapter 842: Formidable!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Rumble.”

The dark galaxy world trembled violently as the Golden Ray Armor that lied in the center had not only “opened” its eyes but also began to radiate rays of golden glister.

There were still no signs of life force but for an armor to suddenly move as its gaze swept over the nine Senators, caused them to feel as if they were suffocating.

“Searching for the heritors of the Vestigial Tribe. The heritors of the Vestigial Tribe unfound. Unidentified foreign tribes located approaching the crystal wall. Destroy!”

The Golden Ray Armor was uncontrolled but even then, it possessed a powerful force, and it seemed as though the program was in effect.

A ray of golden light flew toward the warship in which the Senators were located.

The nine Senators were alarmed as they yelled loudly, “Open fire! Open fire! Destroy the Golden Ray Armor at all costs!”

Then, the warship where the nine Senators were on, immediately sounded off its cannons all at once. A series of devastating roars cut across the pitch-black darkness of the galaxy world and blasted directly toward the Golden Ray Armor.

As the specially designated warship of the Senate, this dimension-level warship was seemingly more advanced than all other dimension-level warships of the Atlan civilization. Apart from the void-level warship, it was the most powerful warship of the Atlan civilization.

However, at this moment, under the golden light of the Golden Ray Armor, the powerful beam attacks were like ice under the sun and instantly melted away, and the golden light from the Golden Ray Armor blasted onto the warship.

“Boom.”

The warship exploded. In the endless bound of golden light, the nine Senators who held the greatest power and authority of the Atlan civilization, along with the dimension-level warship turned into ashes.

“Continuing the search for the heritors of the Vestigial Tribe!”

The voice of the Golden Ray Armor was monotonous and deadpanned, mechanical-like, and controlled by the program. The chip that had been left by the Vestigial Tribe was the program specifically designed for the Golden Ray Armor.

No one knew what had happened to the Vestigial Tribe, perhaps they had been destroyed by the Thirty-six Emperors, and not a single one was left, leaving only the Golden Ray Armor that they had so carefully protected behind, and this was the hope of the Vestigial

Tribe.

“Whoosh.”

The Golden Ray Armor flew out from the dark galaxy world. It took a glance at the translucent crystal wall and appeared somewhat disoriented.

“Scanning all living creatures within the perimeters in search of the heritors of the Vestigial Tribe!”

Then, an invisible fluctuation dispersed into every direction, alerting Merlin, who was also currently in the crystal wall. After all, the entire hopeship was currently enveloped under Merlin’s Illusory World, and he could sense even the faintest movement and sound that occurred on it.

“Fluctuation? An unknown life force…”

Merlin muttered to himself before he decisively began to fly toward the direction of the strange life force. During this period, he once again sensed the odd life force, which seemed to be sweeping through the entire hopeship. Merlin was surprised. Were there other foreign tribes in the Atlan Dimension?

After giving it another thought, Merlin felt that it was impossible but he became even more wary and cautious.

“A new civilization has been born but there are still no signs of the heritors of the Vestigial Tribe. Expanding the scope of search!”

The Golden Ray Armor had scanned the entire hopeship and found no one with the blood of the Vestigial Tribe. This was its mission – it must find the descendants of the Vestigial Tribe.

“Whoosh.”

Merlin’s figure appeared in the void, and his Mind Power immediately picked up the strange life force. It was a piece of armor, one that downright terrified Merlin that appeared just like a puppet.

“This is the Vestigial Tribe’s Golden Ray Armor?”

Merlin’s expression changed dramatically. He was very familiar with the three armors of the Vestigial Tribe particularly since he had discovered some information from the Black Star Armor from the Matrix. Therefore, he knew from the first sight that this was a Golden Ray Armor.

“Could it be the Vestigial Tribe? No, there’s no signs of life force.”

Merlin was unnerved and alarmed. Even if he was able to control the Slothful Beast, even if he did have the black cat Didimoss who could reverse the natural order, and even if his own Illusory World was coming close to perfection – in the eyes of the ultimate weapon, the Golden Ray Armor – all those were nothing.

The Golden Ray Warrior of the Vestigial Tribe was in a class with the Thirty-six Emperors,

and even the Slothful Beast could not compare.

Except, there were no signs of life force in this Golden Ray Armor at all. This meant that there was no one from the Vestigial Tribe inside or maybe this was just one of their special tactics. A Golden Ray Armor without a user, regardless of how powerful it was, still had its limits.

However, Merlin refused to take the risk as he had a dreadful, petrifying feeling that the Golden Ray Armor was getting stronger each moment it drew closer. He immediately summoned the Slothful Beast.

As soon as the colossal Slothful Beast appeared, its gigantic body was almost pressed against the crystal wall. Meanwhile, a mechanical voice sounded from the Golden Ray Armor, “Foreign tribe. No signs of the descendants of the Vestigial Tribe. They have stolen the Black Star Armor, and must be destroyed!”

It seemed that in the Golden Ray Armor’s program, all there was apart from its mission to search for the descendants of the Vestigial Tribe was to destroy. From the basic way the program had been designed, one could easily speculate just how bloodthirsty and ruthless the Vestigial Tribe had once been. It was not surprising that most of the civilizations in the Void Zone had come together in a united fight against the Vestigial Tribe.

“Roar….”

The Slothful Beast opened its mouth wide and charged toward the Golden Ray Armor, the force of the impact was strong enough to crush an entire dimension.

“Gravitational field!”

The Golden Ray Armor had not even made an effort to dodge. Instead, it merely pointed toward the Slothful Beast, and an unimaginable force of gravity instantly restricted it. This was not Roman’s gravitational field. His gravitational field was something that even the ultimate existences struggled with, let alone a Slothful Beast.

However, the Golden Ray Armor’s sheer force of gravitational field, with a single finger, had instantly elicited a harrowing wail from the Slothful Beast. Its distress and agony were clear.

“Bam.”

Under the restraints of the gravitational field, the Slothful Beast fell heavily on the Dimension Core. Amid its pitiful cries, it appeared to be suffering greatly.

“Quick, get up! Get up!”

Merlin repeatedly tried to use the hallucinating spell to control the Slothful Beast. However, no matter how hard it struggled, it was to no avail as it was still bound by the gravitational field to the Dimension Core. Even the Slothful Beast was no match for the devastating gravitational field.

“So, this is the Golden Ray Armor, and those who adorn it will be as powerful as the Thirty-six Emperors?”

It was the first time Merlin had ever seen the Golden Ray Armor, and the first time he realized just how powerful it was. Although he had heard tales of the power of the Vestigial Tribe whether it was the void-level warship or Roman’s gravitational field, Merlin had thought that even though the Vestigial Tribe may have been powerful, their powers were still limited and did not extend to the Slothful Beast.

However, now, when he was truly faced against the uncontrolled Golden Ray Armor, that was by no means a true Golden Ray Warrior. Even so, the Slothful Beast had not been able to withstand even a single hit from it as the gravitational field had rendered the Slothful Beast powerless as it was instantly confined.

The Golden Ray Armor turned toward Merlin, and once again pointed. Suddenly, Merlin felt that his body was also constrained by the gravitational field. Although there came no fall, only that he was restrained as the Golden Ray Armor swiftly approached him.

“I can’t even use the power of the natural order. The Illusory World has no effect against the Golden Ray Armor, and the Mind Power cannot penetrate through the armor either.”

For the first time, Merlin felt like he was completely “defeated”, and for the first time, he faced such a powerful entity that had rendered him utterly defenseless.

It was at that moment that Merlin realized why the existence of the Thirty-six Emperors had been revered by the hundreds of millions of civilizations. They were at the peak of the entire Void Zone, and had reached the very top of it, and was completely different from the other ultimate existences.

The Thirty-six Emperors were also ultimate existences but they were on another level from the other ultimate existences. The difference was so wide they could not be compared.

“Even though I had thought of the possible dangers in the Atlan Dimension, and even considered the possibility of death, never would I have imagined that I would encounter the Golden Ray Armor, and even meet my end at the hands of a piece of armor…”

Merlin laughed. The Golden Ray Armor that was controlled by no one was akin to a puppet. However, now, Merlin was about to be killed by said puppet.

“Sputter.”

The golden light on the Golden Ray Armor suddenly flashed and flickered incessantly. As the Golden Ray Armor stopped, and the red beams in its eyes continued to flash and flicker.

“It’s out of energy?”

Merlin suddenly had a thought. Seeing the state of the Golden Ray Armor, he was reminded of the Vestigial Tribe’s warship, and there would usually appear such a red beam when it was out of energy. The Golden Ray Armor was so powerful that it could rival the Thirty-six Emperors. There was no way that it required no energy.

Sure, it was just as Merlin had guessed. The Golden Ray Armor was out of energy, and very soon, even the gravitational field that confined Merlin and the Slothful Beast disappeared. Before the Golden Ray Armor was able to recharge its energy, it could not continue to restrain Merlin with the gravitational field.

“Recharging power core! Scanning, energy discovered. Energy password discovered, entering password…”

The Golden Ray Armor mumbled to itself as it paid no heed to Merlin and the Slothful Beast. Instead, it headed straight toward the Dimension Core.

“Rumble.”

It was unclear what the Golden Ray Armor had done to the Dimension Core. The Dimension Core of the entire Atlan Dimension had always been a gigantic energy depot, seemingly endless.

However, now, under the golden light of the Golden Ray Armor, it had begun to quake violently. Suddenly, all of the warships of the Atlan civilization had detected powerful energy fluctuations.

The Dimension Core was the foundation of the Atlan Dimension. It had originally been thought to have harbored an endless source of energy, and the Atlan civilization had even once regarded it as a gift from the Vestigial Tribe.

However, now it would seem that this Dimension Core had obviously been purposely reserved for the Golden Ray Armor or, in other words, this was merely a means of the Vestigial Tribe to rebuild and revitalize the blood of the Vestigial Tribe.

Unfortunately, not a single descendant of the Vestigial Tribe was to be found.

“It turns out the Dimension Core of the Atlan civilization is the power of the Golden Ray Armor.”

Merlin was astonished. How enormous must the Atlan civilization’s Dimension Core be?

From its capability to sustain the Atlan civilization alone, it was clear of how terrifying it was as it appeared almost endless and incessant.

However, this was also proof of how powerful the Golden Ray Armor was. It had once grappled with the Thirty-six Emperors. If it were not for the fact that their numbers were few, the outcome might have been less than certain to say.

As such, the energy required by the Golden Ray Armor was naturally unfathomable by the ordinary mind. Otherwise, the Vestigial Tribe would not have possibly left behind an endless source of energy that allowed for the development of the Atlan civilization for such a long time. They had purposefully left it for the sake of the Golden Ray Armor, and it just so happened to have been discovered, and a portion of it used by the Atlans.

“It’s too late to escape now. The Golden Ray Armor is far too strong, and it’s stronger than anything and anyone I’ve ever encountered! This is my only chance. The Golden Ray Armor will need some time to devour the energy, and it’ll be at its weakest during this moment…”

Merlin stared fixedly at the Golden Ray Armor as a wild and outrageous thought crossed his mind.
