The Church of the Holy Illuminati gathered its forces by the border of Ganbi and Terya. Their intentions were clear as day. Upon hearing this news, Karl and his companions were utterly shocked. Ten holy knights, with each a Sanctuary level cultivator, wielders of divine arts, and blessed equipment, constituted an imposing force. Even the holy warriors, who were merely pre-Sanctuary level, were a formidable presence by themselves.Ten holy knights and a thousand holy warriors were a force capable of overturning any nation on this land. The martial power of the Holy Illuminati was undeniably terrifying. Adding to the gravity of the situation were the three judges of the tribunal, Super Sanctuaries in their own right. Such power, when presented before any nation, was impossible to ignore. Observing the solemn expressions of those around him, Wilbur spoke slowly, "How did you come by such precise information?" "Your Holiness, the three titans of the tribunal have issued a public s
Tyrone visibly sighed with relief, though the worry on his face remained difficult to dispel. That being said, winning the war for the Church of the Fire Dragon Lord was not something that could be achieved solely through one person's strength, especially when facing such overwhelming power. The military strength of the Church of the Fire Dragon Lord and the Holy Illuminati was vastly disparate. The only advantage lay in the formidable martial prowess of Wilbur personally. However, this prowess appeared feeble when pitted against three Super Sanctuary, ten Sanctuary, and a thousand pre-Sanctuary level fighters. "Your Holiness, I believe it's time to mobilize our believers for a relative holy war. We have a considerable number of followers, enough to assemble an army of two hundred thousand able-bodied believers. Only then do we stand a chance of victory," Karl suggested. Wilbur glanced at Karl but did not say a word. He understood Karl's suggestion. Karl was trying to equal
Amid the astonished gazes of the onlookers, Wilbur smiled and declared, "So be it. I will lead the church militia to the border. The church militia will merely observe and document, refraining from engaging in combat." "Your Holiness, I find this unwise. Perhaps we should discuss it further," hastily advised Karl, the act akin to suicide. Catherine added, "Your Excellency, I believe the Archbishop's suggestion is more reasonable." "Your Holiness, forgive my impudence, but can your strength truly contend with a thousand pre-Sanctuary, ten Sanctuary, and three Super Sanctuary level opponents simultaneously?" Cameron, the church militia's leader, stood up, facing Wilbur, voicing the doubts that everyone dared not express. Wilbur smiled faintly and said, "As for my personal strength, I am not yet capable of simultaneously battling so many formidable adversaries and decisively defeating them." Indeed, even the spiritual energy of the Emperor level was limited. The use of Doma
Lilian was infuriated. She brandished her fists, exclaiming, "You're the barbarian! Your whole family is a bunch of barbarians. No matter what, His Holiness would never fancy you!" "Would he fancy you then?" Mary retorted, showing no sign of weakness. Their gazes locked like fierce roosters about to erupt into a battle unique to women at any moment. At that moment, Wilbur walked out, furrowing his brows. "What's going on?" "Nothing. I just had a chat with Lilian," Mary replied, lowering her head meekly. Seeing Mary's demeanor, Lilian felt an itching hatred but merely stated, "Your Holiness, I've come to bring you some fruits." Lilian produced an apple and presented it to Wilbur. Wilbur chuckled, taking the apple. "Alright, both of you, go get some rest." Lilian and Mary exchanged a disdainful glance before parting ways. Wilbur shook his head helplessly, returning to his room. While nibbling on the apple, he stared out of the window, lost in thought. The next morning
In the late afternoon, Wilbur led the church militia and arrived at the city of Lachlania. It stood at the western border of the Terya, surrounded by a vast forest. In front of the city, a river flowed before an endless grassland. This river marked the boundary between Terya and the recently hostile Ganbi. Wilbur ascended the clock tower of Lachlania, his gaze traversing the forest and the river, extending toward the expansive grassland. Standing behind him were Cameron and the governor of Lachlania, Darwin. Cameron wore a solemn expression, while Darwin was drenched in sweat. Since learning of the impending arrival of the church militia, Darwin had been restless. The Holy Illuminati was a colossal and terrifying entity, and the prospect of a religious war unfolding in the city under his jurisdiction haunted his every moment. The outcome for the city, should the Church of the Fire Dragon Lord be defeated, was beyond contemplation. His own fate, too, would likely be dire. He fe
Walking on the grassland, the wind blowing carried a refreshing scent. As far as his eyes could see, the formidable army of the Holy Illuminati was advancing toward the riverbank. Without hesitation, he strode forward until he disappeared from the gaze of Cameron and the others, arriving at the center of the grassland. In the expansive meadow, the Holy Illuminati's army moved in perfect formation, their enchanted armor shimmering with a magical radiance, emitting an aura of desolation that pervaded the heavens and earth. The blades of grass on the ground, under this overwhelming momentum, all bowed low, trembling. Above their formation, the invisible force even stirred up a howling wind, producing a haunting sound. It was an absolutely powerful force, capable of crushing everything, demanding awe from anyone in its presence. Wilbur stood alone there, appearing so frail, like a lone boat facing the waves. He remained composed, even leisurely picking a wildflower and examining i
Michael sneered, pulling out the cross-shaped greatsword hanging at his waist. In an instant, it seemed as though a sun had appeared, casting a blinding light that made people's eyes ache. Wilbur squinted as he looked at the cross-shaped greatsword. A golden radiance adorned the large sword, so dense that it obscured the details of the blade. However, the vast power emanating from it caused a mournful hum to echo across the entire grassland. "Another divine weapon! The heritage of the Holy Illuminati is truly enviable," Wilbur commented with a sigh. Michael snorted coldly, saying, "You have a good eye. This is the Sword of Judgment, a divine weapon imbued with the great divine power of the Lord of the Holy Illuminati. No one can survive under the judgment of this sword." "Oh, is that so? Then why haven't you made a move yet?" Wilbur smiled. Michael's gaze darkened, and he declared, "You're way too arrogant! Accept the judgment of my lord." As he spoke, Michael raised t
There was no earth-shattering roar as one might have imagined, no overwhelming blaze, nor a chaotic surge of spiritual energy blanketing the sky. A layer of iridescent light enveloped Wilbur, effortlessly absorbing the onslaught. All the force began to dissipate the moment it made contact with the Dragon's Safehaven until it vanished completely. Wilbur, hands behind his back, stood within the protective Dragon's Safehaven, casually licking his lips as he calmly observed the three judges. Even the Lord of the Holy Illuminati would have to bow down obediently before the old dragon. Wilbur had the backing of the old dragon, after all. The three judges gazed at Wilbur within the light shield, their expressions turning serious. Wilbur smiled slightly, and after a minute, the protective effect of the Dragon's Safehaven disappeared. Wilbur stretched his limbs, a smirk playing on his lips. "The Sword of Judgment doesn't seem all that impressive, does it?" However, Michael burst into
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
