Wilbur did not know what to say. Was bullying allowed just because people were bigger in size? Yet Wilbur was far too engrossed in his thoughts to be wasting his time with this man. He muttered an apology and turned back to face the window. The man sneered smugly, finally dropping the case. A while later, Wilbur received a message from Shelby, inviting him to lunch the next day. Wilbur could not say no to a request from his friend's sister, so he agreed to the lunch invitation. Despite this, the thought of Whitney made him scowl. The train arrived at Seechertown eventually, and the man next to Wilbur got up to leave with his suitcase. He sneered at Wilbur one last time before swaggering off. Wilbur shook his head, getting off the train himself. He left the station and called himself a taxi to return to Sealake Island. It was late at night then, and Wilbur entered his demiplane as soon as he returned to his room. The flame serpent slithered over excitedly but was kic
The old dragon was a good example on its own. How powerful was it really? Wilbur knew that he would not be able to figure that out in the near future, so he gave up trying. He had wanted to get himself a pill that was even more powerful than the Scorching Pill to improve his physique, seeing as his powers had grown further. This meant that his body was at the risk of imploding at any given moment, and improving his physique was the safest route to take. However, the Second Consciousness was far too tempting, and he could not say no to it. The Second Consciousness also happened to cost exactly 1,100 grace points, leaving him with a bit of leftover. Wilbur let out a pained chuckle, confirming his choice. The hourglass turned over, and there were not many grace points left after. There was, however, a new addition in Wilbur's soul. He now had two consciousnesses. One was his original consciousness, filled with all his memories and thoughts. The second consciousness was
Faye withdrew her outstretched hand, sitting down slowly as she glanced at Yumi Senka, the girl sitting next to the man. "You must be joking, Mister Yesly. Cape Consortium is self-funded, and we do not need any shareholders." The man chuckled, taking off his sunglasses. "It was an order, not a suggestion, let alone a discussion. Do you understand?" "I don't think you understand that Cape isn't a small company, nor is it the kind you can get a stake in just because you want it." Faye's expression was starting to turn cold as well. Demanding a stake in Cape and asking for half the shares in one breath. What did this man think Cape was made of? Cape Consortium had up to a billion dollars in cash flow. It was a large-scale investment group that was a far cry from the kind of company that required investors and shareholders to acquire capital. Just then, the man slowly said, "I don't think you know who I am yet." "Mister Campbell mentioned you're from Northseecher, and you're
Baron chuckled at the look on Faye's face. "This is the president of the Cemu Sect in Cherrytopia, one of the biggest in all of Cherrytopia. I'm sure you know how powerful the Cemu Sect is. Besides, it'll look good for you to have someone from the Cemu Sect as one of Cape's shareholders." The Cemu Sect was one of Cherrytopia's five main corporations. It was a terrifyingly powerful existence with a net worth of hundreds of billions. The thing was that Cape was also an international corporation worth hundreds of billions of dollars if they were to combine their overseas assets. The Cemu Sect was honestly not that big of a deal in comparison. Faye did not necessarily have to fear Yumi Senka, but she had Baron's identity to be wary of. After all, this man was actually capable of causing Cape's downfall in Dasha. After giving it some thought, Faye smiled. "Mister Yesly and Miss Senka, I'm going to have to report something of such importance to the headquarters. I'm pretty sure, thou
It was past eleven at night when Wilbur glanced at his watch. He finished meditating and got in his car, driving to Seecher Hotel. Faye's words had hardly affected him at all. Wilbur had built Cape on his own, and there was no way someone else was going to have their way with it just like that. Regardless of who it was, anyone would be thick in the head to think they could mess with him. What Wilbur was curious about now was why Shelby had invited him out to lunch at the banquet hall in Seecher Hotel. Was there an event of sorts going on? That should not be the case. Shelby and her friends were still students. What event could they possibly be attending in a banquet hall? The thought of Whitney being there gave Wilbur a headache. He did not understand why this young lady had such a vendetta against him, but it sure was annoying. He would have given her a piece of his mind a long time ago if it had not been for Shelby. Wilbur drove all the way to the hotel and took
Aside from that, she was going to take the opportunity to see if Shane's friends took a liking to Shelby and her friends. Whitney would be doing both parties a huge favor if she managed to matchmake even one couple. A rich husband was much more important in comparison to studying. To Whitney, there was no point in studying so hard since they were blessed with good looks. It was just then that Wilbur entered the hall following the hotel servers. "Wilbur!" Shelby skipped over to him, her ponytail swaying as she moved. Wilbur patted her on the shoulder with a smile, but the gesture looked like he was taking advantage of her in Whitney's eyes. Whitney frowned, coming up to the two of them saying, "Wilbur, quit it with your groping. It's disrespectful to her, and highly telling of your character." "Dude, she's my sister. What's your problem?" Wilbur flared up in annoyance almost immediately. Why was this girl hell-bent on starting trouble with him, picking at him no matter w
Wilbur glared at Whitney. "You might think I'm lying, but I think you're a joke." "What did you just say to me?" Whitney could hardly believe her ears. Was this liar calling her a joke? Wilbur's expression turned cold. "You're a student, but instead of focusing on your studies, you run around trying to find a rich husband to settle down with like nothing else matters more than money. People like you don't have any values, nor do you have the right to comment on others." Whitney froze in her tracks, turning red as a beetroot as her expression turned from shock to humiliation, morphing as she flared up in fury. She could hardly believe it, a nobody talking down to her like this. Whitney felt like someone just poured a bucket of icy water over her, tainting her beauty in a matter of seconds. She exploded at last, roaring, "What right do you have to say that to me, Wilbur? Who the hell do you think you are, huh? So what if money's important to me, everyone in this world's after
Just then, Baron and Yumi made their way in slowly. Baron had his chest puffed out, looking around the room haughtily. His gaze landed on Wilbur, completely ignoring Shane and the rest. Shane and his friends were shocked by the air of authority this man held. He was about to ask who this guy was but could not muster up the courage to. Whitney, however, had completely lost her temper, screaming, "Who the hell let you in here?" Baron paid her no mind, walking up to Wilbur with a smile. "Are you Wilbur Penn, the head of the Abyss Mercenaries, the real boss of Cape Consortium, top dog of Kardon Province, head of the Kardon Province Cultivators Association, Sanctuary level cultivator, and Divine General Trevor Penn?" Wilbur looked back at Baron with a frown. Whitney and the rest, however, were in a state of shock. What did the guy just say? Baron chuckled. "Don't look so shocked. These might be secrets you've hidden from most people, but let's just say there aren't any secrets
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
