Chapter 839: War IV

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Vestigial Tribe. It was a civilization that could never be forgotten no matter what era it was. Its powerful strength had set a catastrophe sweeping through the Void Zone. It was only after hundreds of millions of tribes and civilizations worked together that they finally won miserably.

Would the power left behind by such a powerful civilization be average?

“This light veil is connected to the Dimension Core. D*mn it! Unless the force is strong enough to destroy the light veil in an instant, it’s impossible to rely on the light veil exhausting its energy.”

Merlin let the Slothful Beast stop. He also knew that it would have little effect even if it continued attacking. Unexpectedly, Merlin encountered difficulty right from the start.

Although he knew that this trip to the Atlan Dimension would not be that smooth, he did not expect that he would be helpless to this point.

“Merlin, why don’t you just let me eat these warships? I don’t believe that I can’t break that light veil.”

The black cat Didimoss glanced at the Rebellion Army warships. With Didimoss’ ability, he naturally would be able to swallow all of them but even if Didimoss had transformed that power, it would still not be able to break through the light veil.

“No, if we don’t come up with a solution, we won’t be able to break this light veil.”

“Hum hum hum.”

Suddenly, a series of dazzling lights flashed. It was three huge beams of light that caused Merlin and Didimoss to have a feeling of extreme danger.

The main cannon of the void-level warship! Although the void-level warship had not been successfully manufactured, the main cannon seemed to have always been on the hopeship but was kept a secret. Only the army and some of the Senators knew about it.

However, now, this void-level warship’s main cannon had fired three shots in succession. Merlin had also noticed the difference. It was not fired by the same main cannon but by three different main cannons.

“If the Atlan civilization manufactures the void-level warship, it won’t be as few as one...”

Merlin’s heart sank, and further strengthened his plan to destroy the Atlan civilization from manufacturing void-level warships.

Merlin directly urged the Slothful Beast, and its huge body blocked the three attacks from the void-level warship’s main cannons. The Slothful Beast’s body shook, and a few bloody holes appeared but with the Slothful Beast’s recovery rate, these injuries were not a big deal and were quickly healed.

It was also fortunate that Merlin’s Illusory World could make the Slothful Beast fall into a deep sleep. Otherwise, the frantic attacks by the void-level warship’s main cannon would have awoken the beast and made it go on a rampage.

“This light veil won’t be broken through brute force. I just don’t know how to enter that light veil. Otherwise, it’ll be easy to control the army and Senators inside.”

Merlin carefully looked at the light veil, glittering and translucent, occasionally rippling like water. It did not look like a special light veil but it could continuously withstand the Slothful Beast’s hits.

“If I want to enter the Vestigial Tribe’s light veil, I have to use the Vestigial Tribe’s power. Unfortunately, I didn’t bring Roman along this time. Otherwise, with his understanding of the Vestigial Tribe, he might know of some ways to enter.”

Merlin only had a general understanding of the Vestigial Tribe. When it came to the understanding of the Vestigial Tribe’s power system, Merlin was far inferior to Roman. After all, Roman had been obsessed with the Vestigial Tribe for many years.

“The Vestigial Tribe’s power...”

Just as Merlin was pondering, the army and Senate had already issued a message for the mobilization of the Federation to send out all dimension-level warships.

The dimension-level warships gathered were a considerable force. Merlin was under attack from both sides, and would not be able to hold out for too long. After all, the Slothful Beast would not be able to block attacks from all directions. At that time, Merlin would be forced to retreat.

Therefore, there was not much time left for Merlin.

At this point, some Senators were extremely disappointed with the military.

“I think we’ve made the wrong decision in the beginning to support the army in starting a war with the Spell Caster civilization in the Void Zone. It simply did more harm than good. Now, Merlin has entered our Atlan Dimension. Maybe we’ll manage to kill him but how much will we lose? Besides, we might not be able to kill him. Don’t forget that he possesses the terrifying power of controlling minds.”

The Senators gathered together to discuss countermeasures. The Atlan civilization was ultimately controlled by the Senate, and even the army was supported by them. Their power was immense. Since they were able to support the army, they could also abandon the army now.

“Our best people are carefully studying the light veil on the crystal wall now. If they can study it thoroughly, they’ll be able to apply it on the warships. Which foreign civilization in the Void Zone would be able to resist?”

“It’s too early to say these now. Our biggest challenge is to get rid of Merlin first. What happens outside the hopeship has passed through the network and spread to the entire Atlan civilization. The Senate has always been passive. If we don’t calm things down as soon as possible, I’m afraid...”

“Yes, we have to deal with Merlin first. If the dimension-level warships we’ve assembled can’t kill him, should we consider activating the ultimate weapon left behind by the Vestigial Tribe in the crystal wall?”

“What? The ultimate weapon of the Vestigial Tribe can’t be activated. Even we can’t control it. If it’s activated, it’ll destroy our entire Federation...”

When it came to the “ultimate weapon” of the Vestigial Tribe, the Senators became very cautious and seemed to be extremely terrified.

After a long moment, a Senator said, “We mustn’t use the ultimate weapon unless necessary. We cannot use power beyond our control. If we can’t deal with Merlin and can’t waste a long time on him, then it can be used as a last resort...”

All the Senators fell silent. Indeed, if even a large number of dimension-level warships could not deal with Merlin or if Merlin did not leave, then they would just let the Atlan Dimension be greatly damaged. If it came to the point where the Atlan civilization had no other choice, they would have to give it a try even if there were risks.

“Merlin can control minds. For the sake of safety, all the Senators will withdraw to the crystal wall now. The mysterious power left behind will ensure that Merlin can’t easily control our minds.”

The other Senators also nodded. As for the military, in their view, as long as this crisis was over, they would consider whether to suppress the army or not later. If they continued to suffer defeat in the battlefield, the Atlan civilization would not support and endless war either.

Furthermore, even if they withdrew from the Atlan Dimension, times had changed. They now could manufacture void-level warships. They could slowly accumulate strength after returning to the Atlan Dimension.

When more void-level warships were manufactured in the future, it would be easy to re-enter the Void Zone. The Senate would not gamble on the fate of the entire Atlan civilization on war, like how the army did.

...

Only when the Atlan Federation Army had entered a state of emergency would this powerful civilization mobilize terrifying forces.

Void-level warships were urgently mobilized, and all flew toward the hopeship.

Merlin’s expression also became serious. His Illusory World shrouded the surrounding area. As long as there were changes, he would be aware. Therefore, when these warships flew over in groups, even he felt threatened.

“These dimension-level warships are a slight threat to me. Although I have the Slothful Beast, I can’t be too careless. Didimoss, go ahead and stop those dimension-level warships from approaching. Don’t you want to devour them? You can eat as much as you want and play however you want. Just don’t let those warships near here.”

Merlin told the black cat Didimoss on his shoulder. Since the manufacturing point of the void-level warships was in the hopeship, Merlin was relieved. With the black cat Didimoss’ terrifying talent of devouring and transforming, there was nothing in the Atlan civilization that could threaten it.

Letting the black cat Didimoss devour heartily would also enhance its strength.

“Haha, Merlin, I’ve been waiting for you to say that. These warships are all delicious, much more so than the taste of those fortress cannon’s attacks. I’m going now...”

The black cat Didimoss could no longer wait, and immediately jumped off Merlin’s shoulder. It disappeared into the dark void in the blink of an eye, and then a roar of an explosion sounded. Merlin shook his head slightly. He did not have to worry about Didimoss. It would certainly cause some threat to the warships.

Now, he would concentrate on studying this light veil and come up with a way to break it.

“If it’s the Vestigial Tribe, then they’ll be able to break this light veil, but Vestigial Tribe isn’t around anymore.”

Merlin once again drove the Slothful Beast to viciously hit the light veil. Although its strength was very powerful, the light veil did not display any signs of breaking. Even the hopeship did not shake at all.

“The Vestigial Tribe’s power... Right, I still have the Black Star Armor. I wonder if it’s useful?”

Merlin recalled the Black Star Armor he had obtained from the Giant Tribe’s ancestral land. It was the Vestigial Tribe’s second most powerful war armor, and possessed great power.

Unfortunately, Merlin did not have the Brain of Life, so he could not don the Black Star Armor and become a true Black Star Warrior.

“Swoosh.”

The Black Star Armor appeared in Merlin’s hands, black as ink. Although it could not be worn, it was Merlin’s only treasure from the Vestigial Tribe. In any case, he had to give it a try.

Therefore, Merlin grabbed the Black Star Armor and flew toward the hopeship.
