Wilbur said, "Holt, I'm your opponent. If you have the guts, come at me." "Hmph." Holt sneered and said, "Wilbur, do you really think you're a match for me now? You're nothing but a pawn destined to fall before me. Skermann will inevitably fall under my control, and Beklaven will be engulfed in an endless war for the next hundred years. I will be the ruler here!" "What? Could it be that you're the mastermind behind the turmoil in Beklaven? Holt, I... I truly underestimated you." Arthur's face twisted in agony. After all, Beklaven was home to tens of millions of people, and Arthur could not believe that the fate of these millions was in Holt's hands. Holt alone intended to destroy the homes of countless people. This guy was as cruel as a viper and incredibly vicious! "Hmph." Holt spoke casually, "Arthur, I'm sparing your life only because you're the leader of the Skermann Cultivator Guild. Let me make it clear: you have two choices. First, become my servant and help me contr
"Go!" Arthur and Steviat turned into shadows, and just as they rushed out of the grand hall, the huge stone pillars collapsed, causing the entire hall to collapse inward instantly. Wilbur and Holt burst through the ruins, flying out of the hall and continuing their battle in mid-air. Arthur and Steviat watched from the courtyard below. Steviat, feeling worried, said, "I've heard that Mister Wilbur is the one who defeated Buker. He came to Beklaven to help us, but I'm not sure if he can defeat Holt on his own." "Master Arthur, I'll gather everyone now." "No!" Steviat was about to leave when Arthur stopped him. "It's not necessary. Both of them have reached the peak of the Emperor level. Their energy isn't just spiritual but also contains other powers. Bringing others won't help. This time, whether Skermann can escape the flames of war is up to fate." Steviat sighed inwardly. Although he did not want to admit it, Arthur was right. The power Wilbur and Holt wielded far surpass
The Dark Messenger's lips curled into a faint smile. "I told you I'd make you pay a hundredfold. I'll make you wish you were dead. When you killed me before, you used your right hand. So now, there's no need for your right hand to exist anymore. Let's blow it up!" With those words, the Dark Messenger twitched his fingers. Suddenly, Holt's right hand lifted involuntarily. Though he instinctively tried to pull it back, his hand remained suspended in the air, completely out of his control. Holt's eyes widened in horror. "What are you doing?" The next second, Holt's right arm exploded with blood spurting everywhere. "Aaargh!" Holt screamed in agony. The Dark Messenger sneered. "Seems like you're quite the actor." Holt, with a look of anguish, said, "Lord Dark Messenger, I was wrong. I shouldn't have opposed you. Please, I beg you, spare me. I'll do anything you ask if you let me live." "Hmph." The Dark Messenger scoffed, "Do you still think you can escape, Cold Lord?" At t
Holt's entire body was constantly exploding, causing wounds to appear all over him. However, what flowed from these wounds was not red blood, but a black, viscous liquid. In an instant, the black liquid turned transparent and re-entered Holt's body. His wounds began to heal rapidly until they were completely gone. Black energy receded from Holt's abdomen, gradually moving upward, and was soon forced into his brain. Holt roared, "Dark Lord, don't let me see you in another world!" Boom! A thunderous sound echoed through the sky. The connection to Holt's demonic power was severed by the Cold Lord, but the evil seed in Holt's brain remained. This was because the black shadow nourished Holt, allowing him to survive. Each evil god could only nurture one puppet per dimension. The puppet carried a seed of the evil god within them. If the puppet died, the seed would transform into demonic energy and return to the evil god. Only when this energy returned could the evil god seek a n
"Your Holiness." "What are your orders?" Holt looked at the figures on the screen and said, "Listen up, everyone. Wilbur wants to end the war in the Bullard Bay area. He will inevitably come to find you. The moment any of you encounter Wilbur, notify me immediately. I will get there as fast as I can. This time, I will ensure he dies." "Yes, Your Holiness." "Understood, Your Holiness." At this moment, Wilbur was on his way to Velks, a small country in the Bullard Bay area. Velks had been engulfed in the region's war for over a year. The prolonged conflict had claimed the lives of thousands of soldiers and civilians. Wilbur had learned that Velks was controlled by Cardinal Bernal of the church. According to Layla's intelligence, Bernal was a treacherous individual who had sworn loyalty to the Pope. Bernal had vowed to uphold the Pope's plans, even if it meant dying in battle. His staunch allegiance made him a key figure in the ongoing conflict in the Bullard Bay area. Knowi
Bernal respectfully said, "Your Holiness, are there any other orders?" "Bernal, I anticipate that Wilbur will likely head to Velks first. If he comes to you, remember, don't engage him in battle. Just stall him until I arrive." "Understood, Your Holiness." The figure on the screen flickered and then vanished into static. Just then, a servant entered, bowing respectfully. "Lord Bernal, a young man outside claiming to be named Andrew seeks an audience with you." "Andrew?" Bernal turned and looked at the servant, frowning as he pondered. "Among all the people I know, there isn't anyone named Andrew. How did he know I was here? Did someone leak information about my location?" The servant, terrified, dropped to his knees with a thud and said respectfully, "My Lord, I don't know either. The young man said he found this place on his own. I thought he might be an old acquaintance of yours." "An old acquaintance?" "Hmph. Very well, I will meet him. Lead the way." "Yes, my Lord
"You!" Bernal's initial reaction to seeing Wilbur was anger. But then he recalled Holt's warning and had to suppress his rage. Coldly, he said, "This is Bullard Bay. Wilbur, you are a citizen of Dasha. Instead of dealing with your own country's affairs, you came here to meddle in the issues of Bullard Bay. Isn't that too much?" After speaking, Bernal subtly signaled to the servant, who immediately understood and left the hall. Wilbur responded, "Lord Bernal, don't you realize that the situation here has far exceeded our expectations? What's happening in Bullard is affecting the entire dimension. As cultivators, it is our responsibility and duty to maintain the peace of the entire dimension." "I don't know what you're talking about. The church has no enmity with Dasha's Department of Paranormal Research and Defense. I am merely following the orders of the Pope. I advise you not to interfere." Seeing that Bernal seemed reasonable, Wilbur suspected that Bernal might be unaware o
At this moment, Holt glared coldly at Bernal, shouting angrily, "Bernal, do you realize who you're talking to? I am the Pope! Do you think I am less than an ordinary Church member in your eyes?" "Please, Your Holiness, demonstrate Illuminos." "Insolence!" "Bernal, you have disappointed me greatly. Now, I, Holt, as the Pope, hereby strip you of your title as Cardinal and expel you from the Church. From this moment on, you are no longer a member of our Church. Begone!" Hearing this, Bernal gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Why is it that everyone else can perform the Illuminos, a very simple spell, but you, Your Holiness, dare not? It seems Wilbur was right. You have sacrificed your soul to the evil god and become its puppet. Isn't that the real reason you refuse to perform Illuminos?" Bernal's eyes widened, and in the next instant, a beam of white light pierced through his chest. Holt, with a dark expression, watched as Bernal fell to the ground, full of resentment. He said
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
