Chapter 504: The Mysterious Matrix

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Boom!”

Merlin’s figure was consumed by the boundless divine energy. Even without looking, Wizard Yatho knew it would not spell well for Merlin with the Sky God’s terrifying pointing.

“Damn it. Sky God, you won’t be able to escape today!”

Wizard Yatho’s heart was filled with rage. Hundreds of years ago, he had struggled to exile this Sky God, but unexpectedly, the Sky God managed to sneak back quietly into the Yatho Dimension, and even restored more than half of his abilities. This was a bitter pill to swallow for Wizard Yatho.

“Hoo hoo hoo...”

Strong winds began to billow and swept the Sky God into its folds. However, the Sky God merely laughed. “Haha, still the Wind Maxim. It has been a few hundred years, but Yatho, it seems like you have not progressed. If this is all you can do, then I’m afraid it’s going to be another hundred years of war! This time, however, I’ll be exiling you out of my dimension!”

The Sky God was born in this dimension. So, strictly speaking, the Spell Casters were the outsiders who came to this dimension to spread the Spell Caster civilization.

Nevertheless, the life forms in this dimension were all highly appreciative of the Spell Caster civilization, and held no fondness toward the Sky God. This was because during the Sky God’s era, all life forms were slave worshippers and had no iota of “Mind Freedom”. Everything was controlled by the Sky God.

“Cannot escape? If I want to leave, no one can stop me! Yatho, the hundred-year war will soon begin. This dimension is ultimately mine. There’ll be an immense group of believers to supply me with infinite power. This is just the beginning...”

The Sky God seemed like he did not want to continue engaging with Wizard Yatho here. Faced with the strong billowing winds, his body was covered with a concentrated layer of divinity. True enough, he had managed to break free of the binding of the Wind Maxim, and prepared to leave by tearing the fabric of space.

Although the strength of the Wind Maxim was attacking, using it to bind the Sky God proved to be too challenging. Especially in the past few hundreds of years, Wizard Yatho had in fact, failed to progress, and he had only consolidated this one Maxim.

If he allowed the Sky God to leave now, then in the future, the Yatho Dimension might really descend into a massive war! Back then, Wizard Yatho had only been lucky to be able to triumph over the Sky God. With that victory, he exiled the Sky God and occupied the dimension. However, now that the war was starting over, even Wizard Yatho was not quite confident that he could triumph over the Sky God again.

“Leaving? You’ve killed my disciple and want to leave just like that?”

Just as the Sky God opened a space passage, an icy voice resounded behind him. At the same time, the sky passage which he had opened was rapidly frozen with thick ice crystals.

The space passage was completely frozen, and at the same time, even the place where the Sky God stood was frozen. The Sky God could only rely on his divinity to resist it.

“Another Legend? Furthermore, he had consolidated an Ice Maxim!”

The Sky God’s face sunk, and a bad premonition flickered in his heart. He would not have imagined that at this moment, there would be two Legends in the Yatho Dimension.

Faced against Wizard Yatho alone, the Sky God could handle him. Moreover, if the number of believers grew immensely, and equipped with endless power of faith, the Sky God was even confident that he would gradually be able to suppress Wizard Yatho.

Faced against two Legends, however, his confidence was completely stripped. He would not only suppress but severely harmed!

“Who are you?”

The Sky God used all his might to resist the freezing of the Ice Maxim, and asked in a stern voice.

“Swish.”

In the air, another figure appeared. It was the slightly late Wizard Mogan but when Wizard Mogan arrived, he could only watch the terrifying boundless divine power consuming Merlin.

Sensing the formidable divine power, Wizard Mogan also knew that things looked grim for Merlin. Enraged, Wizard Mogan would pay any price to stop the Sky God from leaving and even kill him for good!

“Haha, Wizard Mogan, you’re just in time!”

Seeing Wizard Mogan’s arrival, Wizard Yatho was overjoyed. Especially when Wizard Mogan had used the Ice Maxim to bind the Sky God, he was ecstatic.

On one hand was the Ice Maxim, and on the other hand was the Wind Maxim. The combination of these two Maxims unleashed an unspeakable power. At least, the Sky God had no choice but to endure Wizard Yatho’s Maxim power because he was bound by Wizard Mogan’s Ice Maxim and could not move a single inch. Thus, he had to face Wizard Yatho’s attack head-on.

Wizard Yatho’s power had been slightly stronger than the Sky God in the first place. In addition, the Sky God had not fully regained his power, so after bearing the brunt a few times, the Sky God began to feel disheartened. It seemed like the exact scene from hundreds of years ago would be replayed once again. However, this time, he would end up in a worse situation compared to hundreds of years ago.

“Bang!”

After countless attacks, finally, the Sky God could not withstand anymore. His huge godly stature disintegrated with a bang.

“No... Yatho, I have divinity, so you’ll never be able to kill me! This time, you win again but I’ll be back. As long as there are life forms that worship me, I’ll definitely be back. Haha...

The Sky God’s divinity, which also encapsulated his consciousness, tore across the sky. Even Wizard Mogan could not stop it. After all, there was no way for him to confine divinity.

Although the Sky God had managed to escape, he ended up worse off than before. It was a humiliated escape. Even his godly stature was gone, and all that was left was a strand of divinity.

Previously, when Wizard Yatho had exiled the Sky God, he still possessed his godly stature. That was why he could sneak back into the Yatho Dimension, and recovered most of his strength so quickly.

On the other hand, without his godly stature, it would be almost impossible for the Sky God to sneak into the Yatho Dimension again. Even if he tried, he would immediately be discovered by Wizard Yatho.

Sieged by two Legends, the Sky God was only left with a strand of divinity, and escaped in haste. Wizard Yatho was very pleased but there was not a trace of a smile on Wizard Mogan’s face. In fact, his body still exuded a heart faltering murderous intention.

Wizard Mogan’s gaze was transfixed at the spot where divine energy was still swarming. There, Merlin had been directly pointed by the Sky God’s finger and met with his ill fate.

“Wizard Mogan, I’m afraid that Merlin...”

Wizard Yatho was about to offer some consolation but before he could finish speaking, the Sky God’s divine energy seemed to be absorbed frantically, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Simultaneously, in the same place, was Merlin. He did not move but his eyes were lightly shut, and his body emitted a powerful elemental fluctuation.

“Merlin, are you unharmed?”

Wizard Mogan was surprised at first, and overjoyed the next moment. Merlin did not die. That was the best news to him.

Merlin raised his head and opened his eyes. A strange glint appeared in his eyes. It appeared that Merlin’s body did not suffer any changes because he looked the same as before.

However, beside him – Damsy, Fury and Giado were not as fortunate. All of them were dead.

Merlin still remembered clearly the moment when danger descended on him. The two pointing hits from the Sky God gave Merlin no choice but to face the impact head-on.

At this very moment, a miracle appeared. The powerful divine energy was wreaking havoc inside Merlin’s body, especially his Awareness. The first thing it destroyed was the Spell Models.

Once his Spell Models collapsed, Merlin would no longer be spared and be blown into smithereens.

However, inside Merlin’s Awareness, and besides the three Maxims, there was also a mystery-filled “the Matrix” that had crossed over with Merlin.

The Matrix was able to absorb the power of Maxims and use it to derive spells. This spoke volumes about the uniqueness of the Maxim. The Sky God’s divine energy was also quite peculiar. Upon entering Merlin’s Awareness but before it could start to wreak havoc, it was surprisingly absorbed by the Matrix and stored as “energy”.

Previously, when the Matrix had absorbed the power of Maxims, Merlin had assumed that it was a mutation of the Matrix. Now, however, the Matrix was also able to absorb the Sky God’s divine energy. Merlin began to guess that the Matrix did not undergo something as simple as a mutation.

The Matrix had followed Merlin when he had crossed over, and harbored a great secret. Alas, Merlin had not been able to decipher the Matrix. In fact, he could not even find where the Matrix was.

With Merlin’s gradual Mind Power growth, he became more aware of the Matrix. Merlin had a strong feeling that if he continued to increase his abilities, one day when he became a Great Wizard or a Legend, he would be able to fully decipher the secrets of the Matrix.

“The Matrix is harboring a great secret. I can’t let anyone know about it!”

In an instant, Merlin decided in his heart. The Matrix must contain a great secret. Even the Great Legend, Wizard Mogan, was unable to see the Matrix inside Merlin’s Awareness. This was proof of the wonders of the Matrix.

This time, the Matrix appeared to have resolved the fatal danger faced by Merlin and allowed him to escape unscathed. The lingering fear in his heart strengthened his resolve to protect the secret of the Matrix.

“Merlin, you’re not dead?”

Wizard Mogan carefully assessed Merlin all over and asked hesitantly.

Beside him, Wizard Yatho also looked very curious. After all, the Sky God’s divine power was comparable to a Legend’s attack, plus Merlin did not only suffer one hit but two. The fact that he did not die had naturally piqued the two Legendary Wizards’ interest.

Merlin hesitated. He had to protect the secret of the Matrix but also require a perfect explanation for what had happened. After some thought, he decided to put forth the three Maxims in his Awareness.

Only by using these three Maxims, he could provide an explanation of why the two hits from the Sky God did not harm him.

“Teacher Mogan, back in the Glorious Land, by pure chance, I’ve obtained three Maxims...”

Thus, Merlin briefly explained about the three Maxims. Such an incredible encounter caused both Wizard Yatho and Wizard Mogan to find it quite bizarre.

“Apparently, it’s three Maxims... Merlin, this is your great fortune. With these three Maxims, I still dare not proclaim that you’ll become a Legendary Wizard but your chances have increased. However, before you consolidate your own Maxim, you must dispose of these three Maxims.

Wizard Mogan nodded, obviously accepting Merlin’s explanation. The power of three Maxims might have indeed helped Merlin resolve the danger that he had faced this time.
