Wilbur nodded, asking Marie for her bank details. A few minutes later, thirty billion dollars were added to Marie's bank account. "It's a pleasure doing business with you, Madam Marie." "Thank you, Mister Penn. You're a lifesaver." "Please don't say that, I just did what I could." Wilbur had actually been prepared to pay thirty billion dollars even if Greg had not shown up. After all, the collection would be well over that amount for sure, and Wilbur was not going to lowball Marie with Albus being so gravely ill. Wilbur spent the rest of the afternoon separating the antiques into categories, sending all the Dashan antiques back to the National Museum of Dasha. The other regular antiques were sent to Cape International to be sold off, and the two hundred or so antiques containing spiritual energy were secretly shoved into Wilbur's demiplane. It was evening by the time Wilbur returned to Aidementon with Tina. After reminding Tina to leave him be for the rest of the day, W
It seemed like the Dragon's Altar's powers were of the light attribute. Otherwise, the glow coming off the gloves would have been suppressed already. Wilbur emerged from his demiplane with the gloves as he frowned, muttering to himself, "The power of the light. What's that supposed to be?" Wilbur had experienced the power of destruction, and it had been immensely powerful. What would happen if these two powers collided? Wilbur was nothing but confident in what was to come, and he muttered the spells before starting to cultivate the earth-type defense spells. Later that night, he stood on the balcony with his palms together as he called out, "Earth Defense: Earth Wall!" As the words rang through the air, a wall made of dirt and soil that was about a meter and a half thick rose from the ground. Wilbur clenched his right fist and struck the wall with only his physical strength without channeling his spiritual energy. The Earth Wall let out a dull thud from the collision, vibr
A barrage of bullets rained down upon Wilbur. He put his hands together, muttering a series of chants as three Earth Walls appeared in succession, defending against the man's attacks. Wilbur flipped his right hand and the thunder cleaver appeared as he ducked behind an Earth Wall to wait for the man to approach. Yet the man seemed to be in no hurry to chase after Wilbur, merely aiming the machine gun at the Earth Wall as he continued to fire and howl with glee. Eventually, the rain of bullets merely left a big hole in the first Earth Wall. The man chuckled. "It looks like you're trying to play a game of cat and mouse here, aren't you? How fun!" The man in the suit tossed the machine gun away, taking out a pistol and leaping up the first Earth Wall as he roared, "Your time's up, Wilbur Penn!" Standing on top of the Earth Wall gave the man a clear view of everything beneath. Just then, Wilbur darted across and avoided a bullet from the man's pistol. Following that, Wilbur r
"A shadow?" "You guessed right. It's a shame you can't fight back anymore." The man in the suit charged at Wilbur along with his shadow. The sword was brought down, and Wilbur raised his thunder cleaver in retaliation. Wilbur was just about able to hold his own against the man in the suit, but the man's shadow overpowered Wilbur. The shadow, a dark figure forged from black miasma, was a condensation of the power of destruction. Under the combined attack of the man in the suit and his shadow, Wilbur found himself having to retreat over and over again until he had no choice but to summon the protection of the Dragon's Safehaven. The man's sword struck the Dragon's Safehaven, letting out a deafening sound. Following that, a round, black ball of miasma appeared in the man's palm, and he hurled it against the ground. Darkness spread across the ground at once, quickly enveloping the battlefield. The man had activated his domain! "You're not getting away this time, Wilbur Penn
All of a sudden, Wilbur saw a few faint shapes condensed of black miasma. The shapes were plain and thin, but they continued to make their way towards Wilbur. Just as they were about to reach him, however, they were absorbed by a sudden force. Wilbur looked down to see the leather gloves absorbing the black miasma, unsure when they had landed there. The gloves were currently letting off a brilliant silver glow as if they had sensed a strong presence, continuing to absorb the black miasma. At last, the miasma was transformed into a little black ball in the palm of the gloves before it was absorbed completely by the gloves too, disappearing out of sight. The silver glow of the gloves began to fade after absorbing the black miasma, eventually returning to their normal, worn form. Wilbur stared at the gloves, wondering if they were actually capable of absorbing the power of destruction. Were the power of the light and the power of destruction really two opposing forces? The tho
However, that rendered the man in the suit incapable of utilizing the power of destruction completely. He was only capable of using his consciousness to control his shadow, despite the fact that the shadow was a clone of him. Although it seemed like two people were attacking at the same time, it was actually just one. When Wilbur attacked the man's shadow with the Light of Dragon, the man's spirit suffered a huge blow as well. Wilbur could not help but sigh to himself. If the man in the suit had properly mastered the power of destruction and used the black miasma to defend himself from Wilbur's attacks, Wilbur would have long been defeated. Wilbur stared at the options on the screen, choosing two Thunder-type Healing pills without hesitation before leaving his demiplane. The next morning, Tina brought Wilbur a newspaper along with his breakfast. Greensource Corp was so powerful that it was capable of affecting all of Cametra, and that was why Wilbur had gotten Tina to bring h
Wilbur frowned at the sight. "Are you alright, Tina?" Tina wiped at her tears. "You think I'm not worthy of your affection, right, Mister Penn?" Wilbur widened his eyes. "No, that's not what I meant at all! Listen to me, Tina…" Wilbur sighed. "Alright, let's just keep things the way they used to be. Is that alright?" "My father used to be the most important person in my life, but he left me just like that. It's so unfair, and I want justice for him," said Tina. "But I think, Mister Penn… that I've fallen hopelessly in love with you. I can't bring myself to leave you. If you don't want me, I'll die right in front of you this very second." Tina picked up a dagger and swiped it against her neck. Wilbur knocked the dagger out of her grasp before it touched her skin, yanking Tina into his arms and hugging her tightly. "Please don't do that, Tina. I'll be with you until the end." Tina looked up at Wilbur, connecting their lips in a passionate kiss. She began furiously tearing at
"To tell you the truth, I was near the Lantech Building last night," said Kyra. "I witnessed the fire, and that black aura amidst the sea of flames had to be Demetra." "Him?" Wilbur was a little confused. Didn't Demetra work for Greensource Corp? He had been defeated in the battle against Wilbur, and Greensource Corp was bound to have Demetra killed for failing a mission. It was only natural for Demetra to plan his escape. Lantech Building housed the core of Greensource Corp's scientific research, which meant that the place had to have the strictest security. Demetra was being hunted down by Greensource Corp, but he still showed up on their property instead of running away. Wilbur found the entire ordeal rather hard to believe. Was Kyra telling the truth? Kyra piped up then. "I know the whole thing sounds a little ridiculous, and I know you're in the middle of investigating Greensource Corp. You might not believe me, but that's all the information I can give you. I'm callin
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
