Chapter 71: Path of Infinity

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

As the last rupture was devoured by the black hole in the center, the plane fusion began its second stage.

A white dot emerged from the central point and slowly grew larger. People could see jagged edges around the dot as if spinning vortexes surrounded it.

“So this is the second stage of the plane fusion,” Lady Danae exclaimed as she watched the growing “vortexes”.

“A plane fusion is a complicated process. But only three time points are useful to wizards, so we divide the fusion into three major stages,” said Lady Danae who had lived for more than 500 years. She was a well-experienced academic.

She began to explain knowledge about plane fusion to her younger pupils. Everyone listened carefully. Even Flora and the wizards from Song of the Deep did not bother her.

At the same time, multiple plane passageway exits appeared several dozens of kilometers away from the fusion point, bringing around 30 wizards with them. Some were riding creatures, some were flying on their own, some were carrying alchemy devices. The most eye-catching one being the giant steam warship from Floating Mech City.

These were the people from various major organizations in the southern region. They all came to seize destiny during the fusion of the planes.

The situation was getting worse.

Where there were people, there were conflicts. The organizations usually shared some foul relationships with each other. Now that they gathered in one place, many wizards already began to regard their opponents with hostility. Dangerous spells would have been hurled around if the leaders of the organizations did not control their people.

However, there were individuals here who did not know how to control themselves.

A woman wearing orange hair and an eyepatch was quarreling with an elder with white hair. Deadly mana was already gathering in the air around them.

“Get somewhere else if you want to fight! If you provoke the world’s consciousness and drag us into your mess, I’ll shatter your soul and slaughter every family you have!” A topless man with spell totems drawn all over his body appeared between them. His grim expression told them that he would definitely carry out his words.

The eyepatch woman and the old man were both famous loner wizards in the south. They retracted a little under the totem man’s threatening but the spell ripples were still around them.

The totem man half-shut his eyes. Before the fusion began its third stage, he should either stay put or move to kill them fast and clean. If any of the attacks dragged too long and affected the blackness in the center, the world’s consciousness would mark the offender and the consequence would be beyond bad!

Suddenly, Lady Danae’s voice was heard by everyone.

“The first stage of plane fusion was when countless space ruptures appear. We name this stage as Garden Aquarius because of what we can get from it,” said Lady Danae. She seemed to be explaining to the other wizards from Gravity Forest, but she used a spell to transmit her voice to everyone at the scene this time, intending to remind people of something.

“Fragments of Eternity were thrown out of the ruptures. These fragments are the major materials to construct Sorcerer’s Garden, thus wizards call the first stage ‘Garden Aquarius’.”

“So Fragments of Eternity originate from here!” One of the solo wizards standing in a corner perked up. Sorcerer’s Garden was always a standard structure for major organizations. For newly established or smaller groups, having such a garden determined whether they could live on in history.

“Lady Danae, did you collect the fragments from the fusion spot? Can you sell them to us?” asked a wizard of the smaller organization.

He did not hide his transmission spell. Many wizards began to complain that they failed to be the first to propose the idea.

“We’re buying too!” Someone else yelled.

“Gravity Forest already has a Sorcerer’s Garden. You can spare some fragments for us. We’ll give you a reasonable price!”

“Hand them over, or else… heheehee…” A group of wizards in black robes and shining, green eyes looked at Lady Danae up and down.

Everyone’s attention was attracted by the talk of fragments.

Flora grimaced. She and Sunders took most of the fragments.

“Things are going wrong, professor. Should we prepare?” She whispered to Sunders.

In his mind, Sunders was also accusing Danae of speaking too much. He was confident to take on any wizard on the spot, but there were two Level-2 Wizards here. He could win in a 1-on-1 or even 1-on-2 fight, but battling the whole lot of them could be troublesome.

He glanced at the fusion spot already going into the second stage and put on a serious expression. Sunders took out an object from his pocket shaped like a crystal ball and pumped in some mana from his fingers. The crystal ball changed color, and an image showed up inside it.

Inside the crystal ball, the cloud whale was cruising the sky slowly. It headed towards Goman Kingdom, completely oblivious of the thick thunderclouds above it.

Sunders grinned, “Give me the core of reversal spell array.”

Flora quickly took out a scroll.

Sunders placed the crystal ball and the spell core together. Some of the patterns on the spell array changed shape. Once completed, the crystal ball shattered to pieces.

“The Nightmare Crystal is a treasure I obtained in the Nightmare Realm a hundred years ago. Too bad it’s only for one-time usage.” Sunders looked at the broken pieces and showed a painful look.

Still, since they earned a large number of Fragments of Eternity, the cost was acceptable.

Sunders returned the scroll with a different spell pattern to Flora as he said, “Now the teleportation effect is no longer limited in a small area. I have set the target on the cloud whale. We’ll get there instantly if something happens.”

The cloud whale was another treasure from Brute Cavern. There were countless spell arrays drawn on its body. The cloud whale would well withstand the attacks from a group of wizards. Besides, most wizards only trusted themselves, so teamwork was a rare sight.

Now, the situation was getting chaotic.

Many people were asking Lady Danae about selling her fragments. Even the major organizations offered their prices.

Lady Danae remained calm. She still had not said anything about who was holding the fragments or how much she would sell them for. Flora stood inside the spell array and relaxed a little. She was not afraid of anyone on the scene, but getting attacked by all of them was not something she could manage.

Lady Danae had her own idea as well. Boko had four fragment drops. It was not much but was still valuable, so she did not want to lose them. On the other hand, she would avoid offending Sunders. As an extremely powerful being from an organization who would not hesitate to shield their own kind, it was a very bad idea to become their enemy. This was why Lady Danae stayed silent.

Sliv also knew that Sunders had acquired most of the fragments, although he did not say it out. He was too arrogant a man to fear Sunders. Rather, he was plotting to seize all profit for himself.

Lady Danae talked about plane fusion to prevent conflict, but seeing how everyone was focusing on the Fragments of Eternity, she had no choice but to continue her explanation.

“The second stage of the fusion was what you’re seeing now. See the white vortex in the middle of the darkness? It’s slowly growing. Once it fully expands, the black hole will disappear. This is the most dangerous stage during a plane fusion, but it also brings the best destiny.”

The best destiny?

Many wizards from smaller organizations or lone wolves explicitly showed their greed on their faces. The best destiny, even better than the Fragments of Eternity?!

Danae slowly spoke, “We wizards call the second stage as the Path of Infinity.”
