Chapter 730: Capability II

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the empire-level wars.h.i.+p, Merlin was most concerned whether the Matrix was still there.

The Matrix had disappeared because Merlin had died once and was resurrected. Back then, the Matrix had become the control core of the empire-level wars.h.i.+p. Without the Matrix, it was difficult for Merlin to control the wars.h.i.+p. As a result, he would not be able to use this wars.h.i.+p which had the fighting power of an Honored Legend.

“Whoosh.”

Merlin's Mind Power stretched into the wars.h.i.+p. The first thing he saw other than the sphinx statue was the other four guardian statues. Merlin had placed them in the wars.h.i.+p previously.

“Master!”

The four guardian statues hurriedly cried out to Merlin respectfully.

Merlin nodded in response, then led these guardian statues into the control room of the wars.h.i.+p. The instruments were undamaged and still in operation, meaning that the Matrix might still be controlling this wars.h.i.+p.

“Matrix!”

Merlin yelled anxiously.

“Beep. The connection was interrupted for an unknown reason. Bind to your body?”

The control room resounded with the familiar voice of the Matrix. The Matrix was still here indeed, obeying Merlin's order. Merlin let out a long sigh of relief.

“Is it possible to not bind?”

Merlin asked after some thought. He was still rather apprehensive of something like the Matrix with its origin unknown.

“Without binding, this might affect the connection with you, Master.”

“If I don't bind, can I still give you orders?”

“Of course. The Matrix has already collected Master's gene. A previous scan has confirmed that you, Master, has the correct gene.”

Merlin nodded pensively. Now he had a general understanding that perhaps back then, there was a small portion of the Matrix left in his body, used simply to maintain his connection with the Matrix.

The majority of the Matrix had been transferred to the empire-level wars.h.i.+p. Otherwise, he would have no way of controlling this ma.s.sive wars.h.i.+p. Therefore, when the Lord G.o.d of Light killed Merlin, the Matrix had escaped disaster.

Even so, this state of separation was Merlin's ideal situation. He could control the empire-level wars.h.i.+p, and did not have to allow an unknown power like the Matrix to be bound to his body.

Therefore, Merlin did not hesitate to refuse. “There's no need to bind!”

“Beep. Order received!”

The Matrix still had a robotic voice, sounding incomparably icy. Nonetheless, Merlin was already used to it. He thought to himself that what he needed was martial arts robots, as many as possible.

“With the remaining energy from the Light Tome, how much of the wars.h.i.+p's power can be replenished?”

Merlin knew that manufacturing martial arts robots required a tremendous amount of energy, so he first checked on the wars.h.i.+p's energy supply.

“The remaining energy of the Light Tome hasn't been broken down, and cannot be confirmed.”

Merlin fell into silent contemplation. He must manufacture the martial arts robots. Otherwise, with just four guardian statues, how many dimensions could he occupy?

“Begin manufacturing martial arts robots. At the same time, break down the Light Tome and replenish the s.h.i.+p's power.”

“Beep. Order received. Beginning the manufacturing of martial arts robots.”

The control room of the wars.h.i.+p started to flash with light, and various apparatuses began to move. Merlin could only see that the energy of the wars.h.i.+p dropped steeply from a hundred percent to ten percent.

Nonetheless, soon enough, the energy bar began to rise swiftly. It must be the high-powered energy furnace that was breaking down the energy of the Light Tome so that it could replenish the wars.h.i.+p.

“Creak.”

After a moment, a strange sound rang from within the wars.h.i.+p. Following that, a special martial arts robot slowly walked out from the manufacturing room. This martial arts robot was unarmed and defenseless but the icy sensation it exuded created a subtle sense of pressure.

After some thought, Merlin sent forth one of the guardian statues.

“Give it a go.”

The guardian statue immediately understood Merlin's meaning. Strength had always been the forte of these statues, similar to the Mobatans. Therefore, it immediately swung a fist at the martial arts robot.

“Swish.”

The martial arts robot sidestepped the blow with incredible speed. If Merlin was not using his Mind Power, he would have been unable to perceive it. Following that, the robot appeared behind the guardian statue and brought down a fist.

“Bang.”

The guardian statue responded quickly too, turning around to forcefully counter the martial arts robot's blow. The entire wars.h.i.+p seemed to be shaking.

“Not bad, equally matched. It's on par with a Great Legend!”

Merlin nodded, satisfied with the martial arts robot's performance. As long as it could match a Great Legend, then it could guard a dimension by itself.

Merlin glanced at the energy of the wars.h.i.+p once more, finding that it still had a hundred percent energy. He did not expect the Light Tome to have such abundant power.

“Continue manufacturing martial arts robots.”

Under Merlin's command, the wars.h.i.+p continued to manufacture martial arts robots. The energy dropped swiftly, then rose up quickly again.

At last, after manufacturing three martial arts robots, the wars.h.i.+p's energy, for once, did not rise back to a hundred percent but only eighty percent instead.

Evidently, the energy of the Light Tome had been exhausted. Although Merlin could still use elemental crystal stones to fill it up to a hundred percent, doing so just to manufacture martial arts robots would be too excessive. In addition, the elemental crystal stones had a greater function, and that was to ensure this empire-level wars.h.i.+p still had fighting power on par with an Honored Legend.

Therefore, the energy bar must be constantly replenished to a hundred percent. Now that the energy of the Light Tome had been used up, Merlin could not continue manufacturing martial arts robots.

Merlin counted and found that he had manufactured three martial arts robots in total. In addition to the four guardian statues, he had seven beings on par with Great Legends.

This was already a relatively formidable force.

“What a shame about the tyrant raptor. If I could bring it out, it would also be on par with a Great Legend.”

Merlin did not bring the tyrant raptor of the Mobata world into the Void Zone. After all, the tyrant raptor was born in the Mobata world. If it was brought to the Glorious Land, Merlin was afraid something might change.

Furthermore, Veron was unwilling to have too much contact with the Glorious Land, not even wis.h.i.+ng to be in touch with the Spell Caster civilization. Therefore, after weighing these factors, Merlin did not bring the tyrant raptor with him.

“Seven forces on par with Great Legends. Adding myself, we'll be able to control eight dimensions! That's about it. I can leave now.”

Merlin carefully coordinated his capability. He would only leave when he was confident.

Following the dimension map, Merlin immediately left Setoh Arcane City.

In the pitch-black, silent Void Zone, a s.h.i.+ny black wars.h.i.+p of unparalleled size was flying forward at a terrifying speed.

This wars.h.i.+p was Merlin's empire-level wars.h.i.+p from the Atlan civilization. Its speed was far superior to the casting tools of the Spell Caster civilization.

Purely in terms of equipment, there was no one among the countless foreign civilizations in the Void Zone who could compare to the Atlan civilization.

Merlin was in the wars.h.i.+p, poring over the dimension map. He had already scanned this map for the Matrix so it could maneuver the wars.h.i.+p completely, flying to the boundless territory on autopilot.

Merlin shut his eyes. Initially, he wanted to visit t.i.tus to ask about matters regarding Mind Power. However, lately, t.i.tus had been researching the mysteries of the Immortal Mind. Therefore, even when Merlin had entered the Illusory World, t.i.tus did not show himself.

Although Merlin could force t.i.tus to come out, it was not necessary. Since he could not develop his Hallucinating spells further, he could focus on the Maxim.

Of course, Merlin was merely understanding the Maxim for now, not condensing it. Currently, among all of Merlin's spells, the only ones that had reached the stage of condensing a Maxim were the Fire-type and Darkness-type spells.

Out of these two, the Fire-type spell had reached the stage of consolidating a Maxim but this would merely be an average Maxim. Even if he had become a Legend, he would be an ordinary one.

As for the Darkness-type spell, it was nearly at the level of attaining the ultimate Maxim but there was a gap to reach there, and Merlin did not know how long it would take to truly understand it.

Looking at the endless darkness in the Void Zone, Merlin seemed to feel something. He allowed his consciousness to be immersed in understanding the Darkness Maxim, letting the wars.h.i.+p speed along in the Void Zone.

The Void Zone was vast and borderless. This time, Merlin was going to the boundless territory, which was a great distance away from Setoh Arcane City. Within the territory of the Spell Caster civilization, it was still relatively safe.

In particular, Merlin was aboard an empire-level wars.h.i.+p, which emanated a fearsome force. No one would dare to stir up trouble, thinking that it must be a casting tool of some formidable Legend.

However, if he had reached the boundless territory, Merlin would have to keep the wars.h.i.+p. Not only would the wars.h.i.+p consume a lot of energy but more than that, it was also very likely to be recognized by someone.

With Merlin's current capability and position, no one would find fault with Merlin over this wars.h.i.+p of the Atlan civilization. Still, there would be unnecessary trouble.

“Endless darkness… Endless sinking…”

In the wars.h.i.+p, not even Merlin had realized that his body had begun to exude some fluctuations. These fluctuations expanded swiftly and even spread outward. The endless vacuum of the Void Zone was filled with these strange fluctuations.

“Whoosh.”

The wars.h.i.+p sped by a dimension at an extreme speed. Immediately, a Great Legend flew out from the dimension, staring bewilderedly at the shadow of the departing wars.h.i.+p, mumbling to himself, “Which Legend is that? They seem to be condensing a Darkness-type ultimate Maxim?”

It was true. Presently, Merlin was in the process of understanding the Darkness-type ultimate Maxim. He was already slowly consolidating the ultimate Maxim. Once he had attained complete understanding, he would be able to instantly condense the Maxim with a single thought.

Condensing a Maxim required no luck nor elemental crystal stones. All that was needed was an understanding of the Element's Essence.

Therefore, there was an essential disparity between Legends and Spell Casters below Legends. Only by becoming a Legendary Wizard and creating a Maxim could one break free of a dimension's binding. Without needing Elements, one could roam the Void Zone as they liked, traveling past countless dimensions.

“Beep. You've reached the boundless territory. Please prepare yourself, Master.”

The Matrix's icy voice rang out. Merlin was roused from the depths of his enlightenment. The mystical fluctuations on his body also vanished quickly without a trace.

“I've reached already?”

Merlin thought about it. Earlier, when he was immersed in understanding the Darkness-type spell, he had a vague sense that he was still missing something. He knew that this was key to attaining the ultimate Maxim.

“Forget about it. There'll be a chance in the future.”

Merlin did not linger upon that sensation. He knew that consolidating an ultimate Maxim was not a matter of one or two days. He would need a long time of understanding and bit by bit acc.u.mulation for him to succeed. Occasional bouts of enlightenment were not enough to support his consolidation of a complete ultimate Maxim.

Through the wars.h.i.+p, Merlin could see the region before him. Dimensions began to crowd together. This was the unique feature of the boundless territory. It had plenty of dimensions.

Of course, with a great number of dimensions, the battles and fights were also exceptionally turbulent.

Merlin exited the wars.h.i.+p in one step. After keeping the empire-level wars.h.i.+p into his Spatial Ring, he relied on a spell to fly on his own toward the nearest dimension.
