The banquet hall on the top floor was bustling with people.

Pendleton Howard and Fergus Long, two of Seechertown's most powerful tycoons, were there. It was clear just how big of a deal the banquet was.

With their presence, it was no surprise that the hall was filled with other businessmen in Seechertown as well.

There were almost eighty people in the hall, with most of them people of power in the Seechertown business industry.

They gathered in groups, talking and laughing among themselves.

Everyone knew that banquets like these were usually the government's way of gathering everyone to talk about whatever was being promoted as well as giving it support.

The deeper meaning, of course, was to warn everyone not to try and poke their noses in places they were not supposed to.

Everyone knew just how powerful Pendleton and Fergus were, and there was no way they would skip showing up.

Most of the attendees were there with the implied message that the Electronics Industrial Pa

    Pendleton was an experienced politician, so he was well aware of Faron and what he represented. Although Faron sat there silently, his silence conveyed a certain attitude. However, Pendleton was unsure of what exact stance Faron had at the moment. Pendleton's goal was to find out why Faron had come. Faron chuckled and said, "My work is alright, but the project you're overseeing is quite impressive, Mister Howard. It's boosting the economy and providing jobs in Seechertown. Congratulations!" Pendleton smiled and replied, "This is all thanks to your father's vision. He supported me from the beginning, which is why the project was able to be finalized so quickly. I must really thank your father." "I'm not sure, but it's still the fruits of your labor, Mister Howard. You're being too humble," said Faron with a laugh. Pendleton was certain that Faron did not have any objections regarding the industrial park project. He felt relieved. It did not matter if Faron had other moti

    Not long after Faye and Wilbur had taken their seats, Fabian and Shawn came up to them. Fabian frowned as he looked at Wilbur, then asked, "What are you doing here? Have I not made myself clear?" "Faye insisted on bringing me along, so I can't help it," said Wilbur in a neutral tone. Shawn glanced at Faye at that moment, his eyes giving off a surprised look. He saw photos of Faye before, but he did not expect her to be that beautiful and elegant in person. He had encountered numerous women in his life, but encountering such a stunning beauty with both elegance and charm was truly a first for him. He turned to Wilbur after being surprised by her beauty. He sized him up and asked, "You're Mister Penn, right?" "Yes." "I heard you work for Cape Consortium too?" "I suppose so." "What's your position?" "I don't have a position." "Are you a normal employee?" "Not really." "What are you then?" Shawn seemed pushy. Wilbur asked casually, "Do I need to explain to you?

    Wilbur chuckled and said, "Your feelings mean nothing to us. In fact, we might be more upset if you keep harassing us." Shawn was fuming and was about to explode, but Fabian stopped him and said, "Calm down, Shawn. The cocktail party is about to start, so don't bother arguing with someone like him. You should remember your status. Faye, I've already decided for you. You need to understand that I'm only doing this for your own good. I'm your father, and I wouldn't do anything to harm you. You're not a child anymore, so don't be stubborn and just listen to me." After that, Fabian pulled Shawn away and went toward the stage. Pendleton and Fergus were waiting for them. Those two were about to announce the start of the cocktail party. Wilbur looked at Faye and noticed that she seemed displeased. She seemed rather angry. Wilbur could not do anything about it. That was her father, after all. What could he possibly do? Beat him up? "Don't be upset. I promised you that no one can for

    "Oh?" Everyone was puzzled as to why he wanted to introduce his daughter. Fabian said, "Faye, come and say hello to everyone." Everyone was shocked. 'Is Faye the daughter of Fabian Yves?' 'No wonder he wants to introduce his daughter. Faye is the CEO of Seechertown's Cape Consortium. She's in control of a significant amount of funds. A collaboration with Pride Corp will end in a massive profit for both sides.' Faye frowned because she knew something like that was going to happen. However, she had to attend as a businesswoman because Pendleton Howard invited her. She had a grudge against her father, but she could reject him in front of everyone. It would be so awkward. Faye looked at Wilbur, who smiled and said, "Go on. I'll support you no matter what." "Thanks, Boss. Don't regret it." She composed herself and walked towards the stage. Fabian smiled and watched his daughter get on the stage. He held her hand and told everyone, "This is my daughter, Faye Yves. She is

    Fabian was emotionally manipulating his daughter. Their father-daughter relationship had grown distant, but Fabian would not let her go. Faye almost had a mental breakdown when she thought about her father's actions and what happened to her mother, causing her to shake visibly on the stage. Fabian gently grabbed Faye and whispered, "This is your future. As your father, I've chosen a man for you, and it won't be a mistake. Say a few words to everyone. From now on, whether it's in Endler Province or in Kardon Province, our family's name will be known." She could not help but sneer and thought to herself, 'Wow. You didn't even ask for my consent. This is ridiculous.' She would not be like her mother. She would not endure his manipulation. Faye composed herself and stood in front of the microphone, smiling at everyone. Everyone was waiting for Faye to confirm her engagement with Shawn. The engagement was announced by Fabian earlier, so it was as good as confirmed if nothing w

    Wilbur chuckled awkwardly. He felt like Faye had put him in a dilemma. He would not have cared if it had been any other situation, but this was a complicated matter since it involved Fabian Yves. However, he did promise to support Faye no matter what happened. She was his woman, after all. Wilbur stood up and slowly walked toward the stage. Everyone stared at Wilbur in shock. It was as though they were looking at an alien lifeform. No one knew Wilbur. They all thought he was just a nobody. 'How can someone like him be Faye's boyfriend?' 'Why would Faye give up someone like Shawn to be with Wilbur? Is there something wrong with her?' When she called Wilbur to the stage, Fabian and Shawn felt like it was a slap in their faces in front of everyone. They were utterly humiliated. There was no chance of them recovering from the embarrassment. Both Shawn and Fabian looked like they were going to kill Wilbur. Wilbur did not notice any of that. He walked straight to the sta

    Shawn was infuriated. He clenched his fists tightly as though he was ready to punch Wilbur in the face. His reputation took a huge hit today. Being born with a silver spoon, he has never faced such humiliation. "Stop asking for trouble. If you continue being stubborn, I won't be responsible for whatever happens to you," he said harshly. Shawn was at his limit. If it were not for the presence of so many prominent people, he would have told his bodyguards to throw Wilbur out a long time ago. Wilbur chuckled and looked at Shawn, provoking him further, "Go on, try it. Did you think I'll play along with your games?" He could not intervene when it came to Fabian, but he did not need to be polite toward Shawn. Shawn was seething. 'First, I was humiliated by Faye, and now this guy dares to walk all over me too! Does he think I'm a pushover?' He looked at Wilbur and asked coldly, "Do you not treasure your life?" Wilbur's expression turned solemn. However, they were in fron

    Pendleton and Fergus could not afford that outcome because it would affect their potential achievements and careers in the future. Wilbur would have to take the hit. Faye was easy to handle because she had to respect them due to their status. Faron was finally done with his food. He wiped his mouth and walked toward the stage, knowing that it was his time to shine. Faron strode over and yelled, "Bro, you're here too!" Everyone looked over, and the big shots were instantly startled, their hearts skipping a beat. 'Oh my god! Isn't that Faron Campbell? Isn't he the son of Orin Campbell, the most important person of Kardon Province?' 'What did he call Wilbur? Bro? Is this a mistake?' Pendleton and Fergus were shocked too. Faron's arrival meant trouble for them. They could not believe Faron just called Wilbur his bro. Not many men in Kardon Province could have the honor of being recognized as a brother by Faron. Their relationship was definitely close. Pendleton panicked i

    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
