“Quick, release the void-level warship’s main cannon!”
The Senators immediately ordered but the army men only looked at each other. It was already too late. Since the void-level warship had not been rebuilt, even if there was a main cannon, it could not be moved.
Originally, the army did not intend on using the void-level warship’s main cannon. However, who would have thought that not only would someone from a foreign tribe appear but also be so powerful that even tens of thousands of fortress cannons would not be able to deal with him?
“Boom.”
A bright light instantly flashed, causing everyone to be blind to the hopeship. After the explosion, the terrible energy impact did not disperse but instead, turned into clouds of flames, burning wildly, turning the hopeship into a sea of fire.
However, the hopeship had not been destroyed nor was it even affected. A layer of protection, like a crystal, only slightly rippled in the face of the black cat Didimoss’ terrifying attack. The frightening blast wave was successfully split off.
The hopeship was still undamaged!
“Merlin, what’s that thing? I’m afraid that even ultimate existences won’t dare to face that terrifying power head-on.”
The black cat Didimoss saw that the hopeship was still untouched and did not suffer any damage after the smoke dissipated, and felt somewhat incredulous.
Merlin’s expression gradually became solemn, and he said with a heavy voice, “The Atlan civilization has some tricks up their sleeve. It’s not surprising this hopeship is a symbol of the Atlan civilization. It’s not that easy to destroy.”
Merlin also did not know that this was the power of the crystal wall left behind by the Vestigial Tribe. Even the Atlan civilization did not grasp it yet.
“However, no matter how strong the protective shield, there’ll a time where the energy consumption is exhausted. Didimoss, guard the perimeter for me. If anyone or any warship dares to approach, swallow them directly. I’ll let the Slothful Beast deal with this protective shield!”
Merlin also grew ruthless. He would not leave just like this. Since his identity had been exposed, he must conquer the hopeship by any means possible. Otherwise, Merlin could only leave the Atlan Dimension with his tail between his legs.
“Merlin, don’t worry, you can release the big guy. Hehe, with me around, I’ll swallow whoever dares to approach.”
The black cat Didimoss’ huge body sent out an oppressive aura. Its talent was enormous, and it could even directly devour the fortress cannons’ attack. Besides ultimate existences or void-level warships, there was nothing that could threaten the black cat Didimoss.
This was the real reason why Merlin wanted to bring the black cat Didimoss into the Atlan Dimension. With Didimoss’ protection, Merlin could successfully deal with other powerful enemies on the Atlan Dimension.
“Roar…”
A loud roar sounded, and everyone was shocked as they saw an unimaginably huge beast appear. This beast was almost the same size as a starship. In the beast’s eyes, even dimension-level warships looked as small as mosquitoes.
“What’s that monster?”
“Is our hopeship facing destruction?”
“Where’s the Federation? Where’s the army? Where’s the Senate? What the hell is that terrifying monster? Is our Atlan civilization going to be destroyed?”
Before the war, many people living on the hopeship had already been startled awake. At first, they only received news that the Rebellion Army was approaching.
Many ordinary people of the Atlan civilization had some understanding about the rebels, and did not think much about them. They believed that with the hopeship’s defenses, the rebels would be destroyed before long.
However, the black cat Didimoss’ attack greatly shocked many Atlans, and they had not even recovered when a larger shock appeared. A monster as large as a starship completely baffled them. It had never appeared in the Atlan civilization before.
“The Void Zone’s Slothful Beast?”
Seeing this huge monster, the Senate and the army immediately knew what it was. The Atlan civilization had collected a lot of information since it had entered the Void Zone.
Among them, the Slothful Beast was such a huge monster, and naturally, it became the focus of everyone’s attention. This was especially true during the war with the Spell Caster civilization where news that a Slothful Beast suddenly appeared was sent back to the Atlan civilization. That was how the army and Senate learned about the Slothful Beast.
“That’s Slothful Beast. In other words, that foreigner is Glory Lord from the Spell Caster civilization, Merlin?”
Seeing this huge Slothful Beast, the army and Senate suddenly realized that the person who had infiltrated the Atlan Dimension was the key figure that had changed the battlefield on the Void Zone. He was the Glory Lord from the Spell Caster civilization – the founder of the Mind Power System, and the person who could drive the Slothful Beast – Wizard Merlin.
“It’s Merlin. He can control the Slothfuol Beast, and his strength is very strong as well. Is the main cannon of the void-level warship ready?”
The Senators had obtained Merlin’s information and knew about his key role in the war. The war between the Spell Caster civilization and the Atlan civilization was completely reversed because of Merlin.
“It’s ready. Although it can’t be moved, it’s still possible to lock onto Merlin. Hmph, it’s not surprising the rebels could quietly control the dimension-level warships. According to the information sent back from the Void Zone, Merlin is rumored to have mysterious means to control minds. Now, it seems that it’s indeed the case. However, we have the protection of the crystal wall and the main cannon of the void-level warship. Even if it’s Merlin, he has run out of options.”
The marshals of the army finally understood why the Rebellion Army could control the dimension-level warships. It was all because of Merlin, who could directly control the minds of the Atlans on the warship.
The army had completely misunderstood and thought that it was because of advanced technology the Rebellion Army had obtained from the Vestigial Tribe.
“Fire at will. Merlin must never leave the Atlan Dimension alive!”
The Senator pointed his scepter at Merlin fiercely. Merlin’s current actions had caused quite a stir among the Atlan civilization.
Originally, only a few people in the Atlan Federation Army knew about the Void Zone but now that Merlin had made such a fuss, this matter could no longer be concealed. No one would be able to predict what changes would take place.
The culprit of all this was Merlin!
“Boom.”
Suddenly, the entire hopeship seemed to shake. Then, a foreboding feeling of extreme danger gripped Merlin’s heart.
“A void-level warship?”
Merlin felt a terrible light, and an intense feeling welled in his heart. He had seen the Atlan civilization’s void-level warships many times, and naturally recognized one at a glance. This was the most powerful force that the void-level warship could muster, and it was a force enough to kill an ultimate existence.
However, Merlin was not surprised but instead rejoiced. He was extremely excited and said in a low voice, “I’ve finally found it. The place where void-level warships are manufactured is indeed the hopeship! No matter what, I have to control the hopeship. If I can’t control it, then I’ll have to destroy it as well as the place where void-level warships are built!”
Countless thoughts flashed in Merlin’s mind. He naturally knew what void-level warships meant. They were the greatest threat to the Spell Caster civilization and must be destroyed.
“Slothful Beast!”
Merlin shouted loudly, driving the Slothful Beast swiftly toward the terrifying beam of light. Immediately, the dazzling beam of light mercilessly blasted on the Slothful Beast’s back. Blood spattered everywhere, and a bloody hole appeared on the beast’s back.
However, that was all. The Slothful Beast’s recovery rate was incredible, and the bloody hole was soon recovered. The void-level warship’s main cannon did not harm Merlin either.
“Haha, it’s my turn now!”
Merlin’s eyes were fixed on the glittering and translucent light. He knew that to control or destroy the hopeship, the layer of light had to be broken first.
“Slothful Beast, go. Rip it apart!”
Merlin’s Illusory World had completely plunged the Slothful Beast into an illusion. Therefore, Merlin’s voice constantly reverberated in the Slothful Beast’s mind.
“Roar…”
The Slothful Beast fiercely raised its head as its huge body began to move. It did not launch any special attack but simply moved toward the hopeship.
“Rumble.”
With a simple bump, the hopeship shook uncontrollably, and even the unbreakable light veil seemed to ripple like water. Light flashed brightly as if it would burst at any moment.
“What? The protective shield of the crystal wall can’t withstand the Slothful Beast?”
Seeing the changes in the light veil, the army and the Senate immediately began to get nervous. Although they did not know how powerful the mysterious force on the crystal wall was, even void-level warships could not break that mysterious force. However, with just the Slothful Beast’s simple bump, it began to fluctuate.
“No, it’s not that the power on the crystal wall can’t withstand it. It’s just a normal fluctuation. According to our tests, the crystal wall has always been connected to the Dimension Core. Unless the Slothful Beast can destroy the Dimension Core, it’s impossible to break the crystal light veil.”
The army marshals finally breathed in relief after analyzing the changes on the crystal wall.
They were not afraid of consuming the crystal wall’s energy because it was connected to the Dimension Core of the entire Atlan Dimension. The Dimension Core that the Vestigial Tribe had left behind had almost endless power, so even if the Slothful Beast continued to hit, it would not have any effect.
“Boom boom boom.”
With each impact, the light veil flashed constantly but soon returned to normal. Merlin carefully felt it with Mind Power and obtained some clues.
“The power of the light veil is constantly being replenished, and the fluctuation is directly transmitted into the Dimension Core. Unless the Dimension Core is destroyed, the light veil can’t be broken at all… This isn’t something that the Atlan civilization can do at all. It’s something left behind by the Vestigial Tribe!”
Merlin finally understood that the Atlan civilization did not possess this power at all. The light veil was left behind by the Vestigial Tribe.
