Chapter 1026 - The Flawed Will of the World

Chapter 1026: The Flawed Will of the World

This was Merlin’s path. From the moment he had condensed the Illusory World, it had been determined. He and the Latitude Cosmos’ will would ultimately end up in a life-and-death conflict.

“Boom.”

An earth-shattering crash rang out and the entire Almighty Beast World seemed to shudder. Waves of energy spread out in all directions like ripples on water.

“Pffft.”

After receiving a shove from the Illusory World that Merlin had condensed, the fearsome World Projection shattered instantly and swiftly started to dissipate. It turned into nothing and vanished into thin air.

Currently, Merlin’s Illusory World had finally digested that portion of the world’s will from Ancestor Damon’s body. Its recovery progress was seventy percent of what it had been at its peak!

Seventy percent was a major restoration. Merlin’s Illusory World was so frightening that it could go a few rounds against a Latitude Cosmos. Moreover, the current Illusory World was different now. Its barrier was no longer fragile but instead, had become more solid, not inferior to the barrier of an ordinary Latitude Cosmos at all.

Furthermore, the strands of the world’s natural order that were condensed had integrated into the natural order of the Illusory World, the Void Zone, and the Almighty Beast World, thus producing this natural order.

One of the aspects that Merlin had incorporated was the sturdy space in the Almighty Beast World. Therefore, the newly recovered Illusory World’s space was far more stable than before.

Merlin’s every step was a preparation to materialize the Illusory World in the future.

The sky above the Candora Empire was changing and volatile. Following the defeat of world’s will and World Projection, the threatening force did not lessen but instead, grew more intense.

In particular, the approaching will was even more fearsome, causing everyone to feel insignificant.

Ancestor Damon looked up toward the sky and mumbled, “It has arrived at last!”

Naturally, Ancestor Damon could sense that the Almighty Beast World’s will had finally arrived. However, it was a shame that the portion of the will, which he had wanted to merge with the Almighty Beast World’s will, had been devoured and fused by Merlin.

By now, Ancestor Damon was aware of the threat posed by an “outsider” like Merlin. This threat toward the entire Almighty Beast World was far greater than the splitting of the world’s will into different portions.

“Merlin, the Almighty Beast World’s will has arrived. The Illusory World has recovered by seventy percent now. This world’s will isn’t complete and it’s much weaker than the Void Zone’s will. So, this is possibly very dangerous but it’s an opportunity. If you can devour the Almighty Beast World’s will, even just a small bit, it’ll bring unimaginable benefits to the Illusory World. I feel that the turning point of the Illusory World’s evolution is this world’s will...”

Titus’ voice reverberated in Merlin’s ear. As the first Mind Power Master to condense an Illusory World, Titus knew very well the features of the Illusory World.

In particular, he had always stayed in the Illusory World so his understanding of the Illusory World was only second to Merlin. He could detect that the world’s will would bring various benefits to the Illusory World.

The Illusory World that had undergone seventy percent recovery had a fighting chance against the incomplete Almighty Beast World’s will!

“Hum hum hum.”

The initially sunny sky darkened. At the same time, gigantic vortexes appeared in the sky, “glaring” at Merlin as if it possessed multiple eyes.

The world’s will had arrived, mobilizing the power of the entire world. Merlin had once experienced the might of the Almighty Beast World.

Merlin’s body floated silently in the air, surrounded by a layer of dim light. It seemed like any energy that entered this region would be distorted.

This was the Illusory World, stimulated to its limit. It was also the greatest strength that could protect Merlin. Any attack that entered the Illusory World would be broken down and ultimately overcome by the Illusory World.

Currently, only the Almighty Beast World’s will could pose a threat to Merlin.

As he stared at the world’s will in the sky, Merlin knew that this was the final battle, just like the previous time with the Void Zone. This was an unavoidable path. This time, if he was unable to defeat the Almighty Beast World’s will, he might have no way of keeping the Illusory World’s natural order intact. Once the Illusory World was vanquished, Merlin would die.

The Illusory World had become one with Merlin long ago. They were indistinguishable.

Merlin drew in a deep breath and stared steadily at the Almighty Beast World’s will, extending his consciousness forward. This was a Latitude Cosmos’ instinctual will but Merlin could detect the “fury” contained within the instinct of this world’s will.

This was the Almighty Beast World’s will. Its instinct had sensed the danger, so it was furious toward Merlin.

“Rumble.”

Massive bolts of lightning crashed down viciously from the sky, forming a colossal lightning net. It flickered frenziedly as it descended upon Merlin.

This was the true power of the heavens and earth, encompassing the energy of the entire Almighty Beast World.

Nonetheless, after the lightning landed upon the Illusory World, it was easily routed by the Illusory World’s strength. Merlin was not fighting alone. He was supported by a world too. Although it was an illusory world, it possessed the power of its natural order and could contend against a Latitude Cosmos!

Other than lightning, there was an incredible gale that swept over the entire land, smashing everything to pieces. Even a sacred beast like Ancestor Damon could not withstand such a terrifying gale.

However, in the Illusory World, Merlin merely felt some ripples before they faded completely and calmness resumed. This did not affect Merlin at all.

“The Almighty Beast World’s will is nothing more than this!”

Throughout this ordeal, Merlin did not move an inch. He was waiting for the Almighty Beast World’s will to use its greatest strength. At the moment, it had utilized the power of the entire world but could do nothing against Merlin. Thus, there was only one way, which was to use the full will of the world to directly smash Merlin’s consciousness.

This was the most direct measure an ordinary Latitude Cosmos would take against an external threat. It was also the most effective method.

Nonetheless, Merlin had been waiting for the Almighty Beast World’s will to attack because only then would he have the chance to devour the Almighty Beast World’s will and reinstate the Illusory World. This step forward was vital to complete the final evolution of the Illusory World!

Of course, this final step was the riskiest. Merlin had no guarantee at all. If he was unable to devour the Almighty Beast World’s will, he would die.

“Come on!”

Merlin took a deep breath and assembled the full power of the Illusory World, especially its natural order. This was the foundation of the Illusory World. He knew that the world’s will would arrive soon.

“Boom.”

At last, a mighty, vast, intense will that seemed endless and unstoppable crashed into the Illusory World brazenly.

In the instant following the invasion of this will, the entire Illusory World trembled violently as if it would split apart and dissipate thoroughly at any time.

“The Almighty Beast World’s will!”

Merlin’s heart leaped and he immediately knew that this was the Almighty Beast World’s will – the will of the entire world, a Latitude Cosmos’ greatest power.

Since Merlin was an outsider, the Almighty Beast World’s will only had the instinct to destroy and wipe out Merlin. It would not spare him at all. Thus, once the world’s will entered the Illusory World, it instantly exploded.

“Merlin, the Illusory World is about to collapse!”

In the Illusory World, Titus noticed the Illusory World’s turbulence as if it would crumble in the next instant. At this point, Merlin must act.

“Illusory World, devour!”

The Illusory World’s natural order instantly erupted and even fused with Merlin’s will. It exploded at once and the entire Illusory World seemed to gather its final strength to unleash its greatest strike.

The boundless will of the world caused Merlin to feel “at a loss”. He seemed unable to find any cracks, unable to devour the Almighty Beast World’s will.

The Almighty Beast World’s will was a single entity and it was very formidable. Merlin did not know where to start and had no way of devouring even a strand of the world’s will.

At that moment, countless thoughts flashed through Merlin’s mind. He knew that this was a matter of life and death. He must not hesitate in the slightest and must think of a plan soon.

“The Almighty Beast World’s will can’t possibly be complete. Otherwise, where did the will from Ancestor Damon’s body come from? As long as I can find that part where the portion of the world’s will is missing, I’ll have a chance of swallowing some of the world’s will.”

A bright insight flashed in Merlin’s mind. He recalled that portion of the world’s will in Ancestor Damon that he had consumed. In that case, the Almighty Beast World’s will could not possibly be a complete whole. There must be a flaw.

With this in mind, Merlin patiently started his search, especially since he was still in the Illusory World. As long as the Illusory World had not collapsed, for now, he could look through all places.

The Almighty Beast World’s will was no exception. In the Illusory World, especially with Merlin’s focused search, he soon found a defect in the Almighty Beast World’s will.

It was very well hidden by the Almighty Beast World’s will but was now discovered by Merlin. This was Merlin’s chance – his only chance.

“Illusory World, devour. Stop at nothing, just devour!”

Merlin would stop at nothing, mobilizing the Illusory World’s final strength. The natural order’s power exploded and for a moment, steadily resisted the destruction of the Almighty Beast World’s will.

Furthermore, it had traced the flaw in the Almighty Beast World’s will and started to wildly devour with nothing holding its back.

Initially, the Almighty Beast World’s will had been a single, unified entity but it was incomplete after all. Finally, after Merlin had frenziedly devoured at all costs, it finally showed a sign of loosening.

Wisps of the world’s will – although just a small amount, was truly the world’s will. Merlin’s Illusory World started to devour it bit by bit.

At that moment, the Illusory World that had suffered massive devastation began to rapidly stabilize and gradually recover. As for the Almighty Beast World’s will, it slowly started to “weaken”.

“I did it?”

Merlin was delighted by this turn of events as he carefully observed the Almighty Beast World’s will that was being devoured by the Illusory World.
