Just then, Tina could not help but snort at the look of embarrassment and fear on Grote's face. Grote looked over at her. "What's so funny?" Tina shook her head. "Sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at you. In fact, I actually respect your intentions here." "I'd take on the battle if I were you," said Demetra. "Oh, hell no." Grote shook his head. "You're on your own there. I'm not like you. By the way, Mister Penn, I came here because I hope you can help me. I've booked a flight back to the Allied States, and I'll be gone by early morning. Can I stay the night at yours? I really don't want to die." "Yeah, it's fine. You can stay. My body's mostly recovered. I'll take on Toshen if he shows up." Wilbur sat up from the bed, flexing his joints in front of Grote for show. Honestly, Wilbur understood where Grote was coming from. Despite the fact that Grote was also a cultivator, his very own master had not been able to defeat Toshen, so why would Grote sacrifice himself like that? Gr
Grote widened his eyes in shock at Wilbur's gigantic form. "You're really something else, Mister Penn. You've pretty much perfected my master's signature skill." Wilbur smiled, looking at his right hand. Indeed, his defense skills had improved a considerable amount in this gigantic form. However, his movements were slowed down, which meant that he would lose his control of speed. Losing one's control of speed was extremely dangerous in the face of an elite. However, the gigantic form was not a bad idea for Wilbur if he were to face someone like the dark giant in the future. Wilbur and Grote returned to their normal forms, chatting for a bit before heading back to their rooms. Wilbur rested for the entire night. He had thought that Toshen would take advantage of the dark and come looking for him at some point, but Toshen did not show up at all. After breakfast the next morning, Wilbur drove Grote to the airport. While they were crossing a long bridge, a white-haired man in whi
"Earth-type defense skills: Earth Wall!" Wilbur let out a cry of fury, summoning an Earth Wall in his defense. The sword aura exploded around where Wilbur was on the bridge. The bridge crumbled, falling downwards in the form of countless pieces. Just then, Toshen soared downward from mid-air in a beeline toward Wilbur with his samurai sword pointed outward. Wilbur scrambled to raise the thunder cleaver in defense, blocking Toshen's attack. "You bastard, why do you have the aura of the power of destruction if you refused to join Greensource Corp? You liar! To hell with you!" A flashing sword aura cut across Wilbur's face as Toshen leaped a dozen meters away, turning into a ray of white light as he shot over once more. The ground cracked as Toshen zipped past. Just then, Wilbur's pupils were completely black as he said, "Since you insist on wanting to die, I'll grant you that wish!" Wilbur raised the thunder cleaver, swinging it outwards at the same time Toshen attacked. A bl
And the power of destruction too! Wilbur stared at the gloves, falling deep into thought. He suddenly realized that there might be more to the gloves than just the power of light they contained. They seemed to be capable of converting between both the power of light and the power of destruction. The light could usurp the darkness, and the darkness could usurp the light as well. That Holy One had cultivated both powers at the same time, right? Wilbur would have probably died at the hands of the Holy One if he had not had the gloves with him. Despite the fact that the Holy One was only at the Emperor level, he cultivated both the power of light and the power of destruction at the same time and both forces more than surpassed the power of his spiritual energy. The power of destruction represented darkness and destruction, and the power of light represented growth and kindness. Toshen had thoroughly angered Wilbur during the battle on the bridge, and that was what flipped the swi
Beverly was silent for a while, before saying, "Alright, Deacon Penn. We've discussed this with the relevant departments in a special research meeting and think that this might be an act that the Green Leaf Faction and Scarlet Leaf Faction have teamed up to put on." "An act?" Wilbur furrowed his brows, finding the whole thing quite strange. What was strange was the fact that the people of the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense had held a special research meeting for this. Upon second thought, which was also pretty possible. After all, the forces behind Greensource Corp were far too powerful, and they already had fingers in so many countries including the Allied States. If Greensource Corp was able to invent different potions for different people, they might be able to control many of the major countries around the world. It was completely normal that the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense of Dasha had the foresight to beware of this. Beverly's sweet voic
"Oh, it's my pleasure." Marie saw Wilbur bent over the nature paintings to examine them, and she walked over to Tina with a kindly look. "You're gorgeous, Miss Tina." Tina flushed scarlet in the face. "You're too kind, Madam Marie." Madam Marie held Tina by the hand. "I'm old now, and I have some clothes from when I was younger that I never wore much. Why don't I take you to have a look at them? You can take anything you fancy." Tina's face was practically burning. "Ah, I really shouldn't…" "It's alright," said Madam Marie. "Come with me." She led Tina into her room upstairs. Madam Marie had her servants bring out a few glamorous dresses before getting Tina to try them on. "You look stunning!" Marie exclaimed. "It's like the gods sent you this dress as a gift." Despite Tina's protests, Marie ended up wrapping the clothes up and bringing them out. Downstairs, Wilbur had finished inspecting the nature paintings and they had been wrapped up as well, and Harrod had the serv
After all, Greensource Corp had been able to invent a flame crystal core containing the power of destruction. This must mean that they had mastered the power of destruction, and even the power of light. The gloves were now Wilbur's most useful tool when it came to taking down Greensource Corp, and he needed all the information on the gloves and the power of light. "Ah, I see. Could I have a talk with Mister Albus, then? I'd like to ask him a few questions." "Oh…" Madam Marie seemed a little hesitant. Despite the fact that Albus had been discharged, his body was still extremely weak, and it was still going to take a while for him to heal completely. Harrod spoke up then. "Madam Marie, Mister Penn has helped us out a lot. Besides, hasn't Mister Albus wanted to meet Mister Penn for a while now?" Marie's chest swelled with emotion, and she nodded her head. "Alright, then. Come with me, Mister Penn." Wilbur headed further into the manor with Madam Marie, and he asked, "By the
Wilbur looked over at Madam Marie, who could only shake her head. After all, those collections had been stored together, and Madam Marie had no idea which items belonged to her father or her grandfather. "Yes, I'd seen them from a very young age. My father took very good care of them." "Do you know where they came from?" Wilbur looked at Albus, hoping that he would get an answer that was satisfactory. Alas, Albus shook his head. "No. My father loved them, but I don't know where they came from." Wilbur could not help feeling disappointed and got to his feet. "Alright, then. Sorry to disturb you, Mister Albus. Please rest well, and I'll be on my way." Wilbur was about to leave when Albus' voice rang from behind him. "Wait." "What?" Wilbur turned around, looking at Albus. "Is anything the matter, Mister Albus?" "Could you show me those gloves again?" "Of course." Wilbur handed the gloves to Albus, who inspected them once more before saying, "Yes, I'm sure. My father ne
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
