The next morning, Demi and the others came to Wilbur's room. "Sir, the president's office asked for us," Demi said respectfully. Wilbur nodded. "Okay. You can all go first. I'll head over later." Demi and the others had to be at the banquet to express their stance and clarify which side they were on. They had already discussed it with Wilbur and the president's office as well. Demi and the rest were going to announce that they had agreed to be under the Manand government's control. It was a national affair, and no slip-ups were allowed. They nodded at Wilbur's words, bowing before turning to leave. Wilbur could very well wait to show up, but the rest of them did not have such a right. They could not have the president wait for them. After they were gone, Wilbur spotted Sophie and frowned. "Aren't you supposed to be going back?" "I am. I just came here to bid you goodbye," Sophie said in a small voice. Wilbur nodded, and Sophie bowed before leaving. Wilbur let
Wilbur wrenched the door of his car open. He got out and walked up to his driver. "Return the slap." "W-What?" The driver stared at Wilbur in surprise. Wilbur frowned. "You just got hit for no reason. Aren't you going to fight back?" "That's General Emer's car. He's General Emer's driver." Wilbur's driver lowered his head, not daring to say another word. Despite the fact that he worked for the president's office, he was merely a driver. Leo Emer, however, has been a hot topic in the president's office as of late. Leo was a close friend of the president and controlled the president's personal protection team. That made him Manand's youngest lieutenant. Leo had been relentlessly taking out the remaining forces in Manand who were trying to riot to avenge Maddox in an attempt to climb up the ranks. Word had spread that the next defense minister was going to be announced during the banquet at the president's office. That would make Leo one of the most powerful men in all
He glanced at the screen and picked up the phone, muttering a few sentences before hanging up and turning to Wilbur. "I really do have somewhere else to be today, but don't you worry. Someone's going to come looking for you bright and early tomorrow, and you're going to be taught a nice little lesson on just how stupid you were to hit my man earlier. Get in the car, Frost." Leo called out to his driver, who glowered viciously at Wilbur before turning to get in. Leo got back into his car as well. Wilbur smirked. "I'll be waiting. I just hope you won't disappoint me." Leo raised the window of the passenger seat, the glass cutting off their locked stares. The Hummer drove off slowly, and Wilbur turned back to his driver. "Let's go." Wilbur and Shepard returned to the car. The driver snapped out of his stupor, hurrying over to head to the president's office at full speed. On the way there, the driver eventually mustered up the courage to say, "Mister Penn, G-General Emer has
Leo smiled, shaking the hands of the crowd surging forward to greet him one by one. The people here all held positions of some amount of power, yet all of them seemed meek, greeting Leo obediently like little children. It was important to note that Leo was close to the president and was due to become the defense minister, and people like them were a far cry in comparison. Besides, Leo was only in his thirties and had gotten to such a high position. His future was unmistakably bright. It would only do them well to get in his good books. Leo himself had a winning smile on his face as well, greeting the crowd one by one. Wilbur smirked at the sight. Leo definitely knew how to be a politician, with the way he socialized with the public. The people crowded forward, practically fighting to ask him even the most basic of questions. They were clearly putting him on a pedestal. Leo was a national hero who had saved the people from a powerful evil force, and no one could compar
The incident with Maddox had cleared out a large chunk of the political scene in Manand, leaving many empty spots in its wake. Jimmy had taken a chance this time and got lucky enough to earn a spot at the president's office banquet. However, Jimmy knew that he had next to no connections, which meant that things would not be easy for him. He had racked his brains trying to get close to Leo in hopes of a chance to work for him. If Leo took him in, then his future would be set. As for Wilbur, it was clear at first glance that the guy was not a Manand local. He was probably some journalist who had been hired to fill the room. Thus, Jimmy hardly thought much of Wilbur. Leo waved a hand at Jimmy's words. "That won't be necessary. I really am curious to know just what gives him the nerve to speak to me like this." "Come on, he's no more than an insolent, uncultured bastard," Jimmy wheedled. Leo said nothing, eyeing Wilbur coldly. Wilbur smirked. "Get out of my sight before I
Wilbur glanced at the deputy official with a frown. "Don't point that at me. You might hurt yourself." "F*ck you." The deputy officer shoved the barrel of the gun against Wilbur's temple. Shepard got to his feet. Just then, someone called out, "The president has arrived!" Leo frowned, then waved them down. "Put the gun away." The deputy officer sneered, jabbing the pistol back into its holster. Someone muttered, "I guess that bastard will have a little longer to live." Leo said, "We'll have a good talk after the banquet's over." "I think it won't have to take that long for that to happen," Wilbur replied nonchalantly. Leo sneered, turning away to head to the middle of the hall. Just then, President Morgan and Julian Doyle, the Dasha representative, emerged from the doors and walked up to the podium on stage. Behind the two of them were Demi and the others. Morgan and Julian stood before the microphone with their arms around each other. The crowd fell silent, w
To tell the truth, Wilbur killing Maddox and all of his followers in one sitting went beyond Morgan's expectations, and he had been ecstatic over it. Compared to Maddox, whatever happened in North Manand was hardly even worth mentioning. North Manand had always been deemed to be out of the government's control, and it hardly mattered whether the major forces there were returning their power to the government or not. Maddox, however, was an objective threat to the government. His power posed great risks to the country from multiple standpoints, and he was very well capable of toppling the entire government if he wanted to. On top of that, Maddox's voice had a great influence on the people of the country as well. Any price to pay for getting rid of him would be worth it. Besides, making this guy prince would mean that Manand now had connections with a powerful expert. This trade was definitely more than fair. Just then, Wilbur slowly rose from his seat and headed to the s
Morgan widened his eyes at the sight. "Please calm down, Prince Penn! There seems to be a misunderstanding here. Please don't get physical." The crowd heaved a sigh of relief seeing the president speak out. There was no way this guy was going to kill Leo in the president's face, even if he was Trevor Penn. Leo relaxed at the sight as well. Despite the fact that he was an Aura level cultivator himself, Leo knew that he was nothing in front of someone like Trevor. Of course, he was still scared for his life. Just then, however, Wilbur drove his spear into Leo's chest, hoisting him into the air. Blood splattered on the walls as Leo looked down at his skewered body in disbelief. The other higher-ups went pale in the face as well. No one had expected Wilbur to go in for the kill, especially not with the president there. Was he really that uncaring of the consequences that would come? This was Manand he was in, where Leo was a known close friend of the president. Morgan stare
Faye was clad in a beautiful wedding dress, hardly needing any blusher for how red her cheeks looked. Wilbur was also looking dapper in a fine tuxedo, and the bride and groom went around toasting to their friends one by one. Both their parents were overjoyed, knowing that their children had finally ended up with someone so wonderful. Everyone else was also brimming with smiles, drinking up a storm as the night went on. These people were all friends or subordinates of Wilbur and wanted nothing more than the best for him and Faye. There was no wedding emcee, and the ceremony was extremely simple, but the atmosphere was incomparable as everyone was nothing but smiles. The reception lasted all the way until late into the night, and even the newlyweds' parents got a little tipsy. The banquet ended at last, and the guests ushered Wilbur and Faye into their new bedroom. The newlyweds sat down facing each other, locking eyes. Faye lowered her head bashfully, and Wilbur looked
It was evening on Sealake Island when Wilbur returned. He stood on the long bridge, overwhelmed with emotion as he let out a hint of his aura. The island grew abuzz at once, and a series of familiar figures fought their way into Wilbur's line of sight. Wilbur smiled, stepping onto the island slowly. His smile grew as he came to the square, taking in the sight of Faye, Elsa, Faron, Shepard, and many others. Everyone else stared back at him, unable to hide the emotion on their faces. It had been so long since they had seen Wilbur, and there was no way for them to reach him. Words could not describe how much they had worried about and missed him. "I thought you were never coming back, Wilbur." Faye was the first to speak. Wilbur walked up to her, taking her into his arms. "I'm sorry. It'll never happen again. Everything's over now, and I'll never leave you again." Faye's heart soared as she broke out into overjoyed sobs. Everyone else was nothing but joyous as well. Fo
Bahamut, being a reincarnation of Kaiser himself, came slithering toward Wilbur. They both turned into their human forms, and a fierce battle broke out once more. Kaiser channeled his energy into Bahamut's body, giving Bahamut the upper hand over time. At last, Bahamut severely wounded Wilbur with a blow of his sword, causing Wilbur to fall from mid-air. "Hahaha!" Kaiser appeared suddenly then, laughing loudly. "Nice work, Bahamut." "Thank you, Master." Bahamut retreated behind Kaiser, looking at him coldly. He whipped out a dagger from his sleeves all of a sudden, driving it deep into Kaiser. Kaiser flipped around sharply, grabbing Bahamut's wrist and glowering at him. "Have you lost your mind?" Just then, the Dark Lord's voice sounded from Bahamut's throat. "You've stopped me many times now, Kaiser Fern! There's no way in hell I'll let you become the ultimate elite!" A furious Kaiser reached out to grab Bahamut's head, sucking him into his body. An explosion sounded throu
Just then, the Cold Lord muttered a spell. A series of snowy mountains descended from above, one of them striking Wilbur and Augheimer as the Cold Lord cackled. "Haha! Is that all you've got?" As his words rang through the air, the snowy mountain exploded with a loud boom into countless icy fragments to reveal Wilbur and Augheimer, standing tall and completely unaffected. "What?" "These imbeciles!" the Flame God shouted. The air around turned into a sea of flames at once, burning away relentlessly, but they vanished as soon as they came in contact with Wilbur and Augheimer's defense barriers. The Earth God shouted, "I'll settle this!" He muttered a spell, and the ground cracked open as Wilbur and Augheimer fell into a bottomless abyss. The Earth God smirked, and the crack began to close up. Yet just a few seconds later, the ground exploded as Wilbur and Augheimer flew back up. The Tornado God cast a spell to bring about a fierce gust of wind filled with countless razor-sh
The next second, Wilbur's Magic Dragon Blade made a gash in the air. The two men then wove through the gash, making their way to the lower dimensions from the upper dimensions and returning to Earth. The gash closed itself up, and a powerful wave of black miasma surged into the oceans from the heavens. It cleared up within a few minutes, and Earth was turned into a dark space. Several big fissures appeared in the heavens as the evil gods descended on Earth. The Blood God, the God of Destruction, the Cold Lord, the Flame God, the Earth God, the Tornado God, the God of Bloodlust, and the Snake God—all eight evil gods had descended upon Earth at the same time. Wilbur summoned the broken pieces of the Light Armor from the Fire Dragon Ring. The pieces radiated a white glow as they hovered in mid-air, and Wilbur quickly used his mind to put them together before wearing the Light Armor on his body. "Hahaha!" The Blood God laughed loudly. "I guess the universe dimensions aren't all
Hailey and Kayleen ducked out of the way before the pillars of light reached them, darting up to Sade at the last second as Hailey drove her sword into him at the same time Kayleen did the same with her spear. Hailey glowered at Sade. "You're the one who's really despicable here, Sade. Say goodbye to the world forever!" "Arghhhh!" Sade's body exploded in a flash of white light, disappearing out of sight. Hailey and Kayleen both got down on one knee. "At your service, Masters." Just then, Wilbur and Augheimer looked at the two ladies at the same time. Augheimer said, "At ease. You can both go back now, your work here is done." "Yes, Master." Hailey and Kayleen disappeared the next second. Just then, a fierce wind rolled over as a pillar of white light descended from the heavens as Odysseus appeared in front of the two men. "Wilbur Penn and Augheimer. I’ve finally found you. Tell me where the dimension guardians are, and hand them over!" A gleeful Odysseus reached out t
Sade threw his head back, laughing loudly. "No one has the right to replace me, no one! I'm the real dimensional guardian, the leader of the galaxy!" Just then, two figures appeared in the sky. They were Hailey and Kayleen, two of the other dimensional guardians. Hailey was holding a long sword as she scowled at Sade below her. "You went against the rules of the universe and changed its functions, Sade. And now you've killed Wilbur Penn, the cultivator who was supposed to replace you. For that, Kayleen and I are going to kill you today." Sade smirked at those words, not looking shocked at all. "I knew you two would never let me go for killing Wilbur. But he's already dead, and I still need to maintain order in the universe as a dimensional guardian. Even though you two may hate me, you can't kill me or you'd be going against the rules of the universe too, and have to be sentenced by Mister Richardson. Trust me, you won't end up in much better of a state than I'm in." Just then
Augheimer asked out of confusion, "What? To the upper dimension? All of a sudden?" Wilbur looked flustered, he replied, "There's no time to explain. Odysseus will be here in a while, and we won't be able to escape." Sade looked at Wilbur. He told Augheimer, "He's right. Believe him. Why would your close friend lie to you?" "That's right. He's a dimensional guardian, Sade. I begged Sade to go back in time here. Hurry up and come with me, Augheimer!" "Thanks, but if we're leaving, we should at least go to Buck Town and meet Felix one last time, right?" asked Augheimer. Wilbur looked at Augheimer in the eyes, there was a sense of familiarity that welled up all of a sudden. Wilbur instantly realized Augheimer had a secret in Buck Town, and perhaps it was very important to Augheimer. He helplessly nodded and replied, "Alright, we'll go to Buck Town first." Then, the three of them came to Buck Town through a transportation array. Augheimer grabbed Wilbur and ran. He said, "Run! F
"Damn it! Your second wish was supposed to be mine!" yelled Odysseus. Odysseus once captured a dimensional guardian's servant by chance, and he used him as leverage to obtain his final two wishes. His first wish was for Sade to guide him to the most powerful power of light spell. His second wish was for Sade to lead him to the Death Scepter. Odysseus mastered the power of two types of laws, the power of light and the power of death. He quickly grasped the intricacies of the power of death due to his unique talent. Odysseus wielded the might of both supreme spells with the Death Scepter and the most powerful power of light spell. Therefore, Odysseus gained immense confidence. His capabilities far surpassed most upper dimension cultivators, but he remained in the middle dimension. His desire was to once again capture a second dimensional guardian servant. Odysseus planned to acquire the Death Cloak by obtaining the servant's wish. Ultimately, he would combine the Death Cloak, D
