"Bang."

With Mind Storm in addition to Merlin's Destructive Flame, the strongest spirit monster was ultimately defeated with a loud bang, turning into specks of white light which flew everywhere.

"Whoosh."

The black cat Didimoss was the quickest. As soon as that spirit monster was defeated, he leaped and spat a dense Runic Magic Circle from his mouth, which quickly turned into a large hand that grabbed the white sparks produced from the spirit's defeat.

These white sparks were swallowed by the black cat Didimoss in one go, following which Didimoss swayed his tail in an elegant posture. In a victorious manner, he leaped back onto Merlin's shoulder.

Merlin shook his head helplessly and could only smile bitterly. The strongest spirit monster had been killed jointly by the three of them, but unexpectedly, the black cat Didimoss had swooped in and gained the profits. Still, based on the black cat Didimoss' manner, he would not be able to digest this gigantic spirit in a short time.

Perhaps when he had digested the spirit completely, he would truly undergo an essential change.

"Wizard Damsy, as for the remaining spirits, we'll use our own methods!"

Merlin smiled as he spoke. At the same time, his gaze turned toward the remaining spirits crowding the space. As long as he killed these spirits and absorbed their energy, his Mind Power would surely reach the peak of the Seventh-level.

"Rumble."

Just then, the entire cave seemed to quake as if something fearsome was about to appear from below the cave. The ground began to split apart quickly, and a white glow emerged from beneath.

"What's happening?"

Damsy looked toward Merlin but he shook his head as well. He had no way of telling what the problem was, but he could dimly sense that a fearsome power was awakening below.

"Let's go. We can't stay on. We must leave immediately!"

Merlin's face changed slightly as he spoke in a low voice. He could sense that terrifying force which made him tremble. It was a power that one could not contend against, just like those lofty Legends, yet it was intrinsically different from Legendary Wizards.

"Leave? Lowly Spell Casters, you've disturbed me and ruined my hibernation. How can you leave so easily?"

A booming voice sounded directly in the ears of Merlin and the rest. At the same time, the majestic white glow gradually converged as an imposing figure.

This figure was surrounded by a white glow, appearing vast, noble, mysterious, and powerful, causing an uncontrollable compulsion to worship. It was as if there was a suppression on a spiritual level.

"It's a god, the Sky God which had been exiled by the Great Wizard Yatho long ago. He's back!"

Damsy, Fury, and Giado had grown up in the Yatho Dimension, and have heard the story of Wizard Yatho's war against the Sky God so many times that they could narrate it themselves. Presently, faced with this gigantic figure, they would naturally recognize him.

"A god?"

Merlin's face changed slightly. He knew how powerful gods were. Back in the Mogan Dimension, he had encountered a wicked god that merely had a smidgen of consciousness. Even then, he was almost no match for it, and the victory was hard won.

Now, this imposing figure was exuding a petrifying force that was as boundless as the starlit sky. Evidently, this was a god's true form, not just the awakening of a wisp of consciousness.

Faced with this god that was comparable to a Legend, all of Merlin's techniques were of no use at all!

"You've blasphemed against a god, and will receive the harshest punishment!"

The Sky God's voice was booming and grandiose, falling upon them like thunder, reverberating unceasingly in their ears. At the same time, the white light surrounding the Sky God gradually condensed into a finger.

"Whiz."

It was a mere finger that pressed down slightly. It seemed to be slow, but in reality, it reached extreme speeds, practically traversing space with no regard for the distance. In a blink, it landed upon the heads of Merlin and the rest.

A single gesture of the finger contained terrifying pressure that nearly suffocated Merlin and the rest.

This was an attack of condensed divine energy by an actual god. No ordinary Spell Caster would be able to withstand it, only a Legendary Wizard.

"We're done for. We're really done for!"

This time, it was not just Damsy, but even Merlin who was caught in despair. At this point, Merlin wanted to cast Traceless Wind but he discovered that it was hard to even budge his body. He was completely bound, and this had happened without any sound or movement. A god's technique was truly enigmatic.

All the energy within Merlin's body had been bound. Even the special Pandora Demon Ability Darkness Eye could only utter bursts of lamenting cries. Putting aside the fourth form, even the fifth form would have no way of breaking free from a god's binding.

Moreover, he was unable to unleash the spell fusion which he was so proud of. These were Merlin's strongest offensive techniques. Presently, under the Sky God's binding, he had no attacks left to speak of.

"Boom!"

The boundless divine energy crashed heavily unto Merlin. His Enervating Halo was shattered instantly. Besides Merlin, Damsy, Fury, and Giado had not the slightest bit of resistance and were reduced to dust instantly.

"Hum."

As if sensing this momentous threat, the Flame Maxim, Ice Maxim, and the massive Thunder Maxim, all of which were not under Merlin's control, each released a little strength, enclosing Merlin within.

The power of the three Maxims now combined in unparalleled harmony, pitting their strengths together to deal with this powerful gust of divine energy.

"Crack."

At last, the power of the three Maxims was still unable to block the invasion of divine energy, but fortunately, they had protected Merlin's body. Furthermore, the divine energy entered through every opening and burrowed into Merlin's body, beginning to wreck damage without restraint.

First of all, the Spell Models in his Awareness shattered almost instantly. His Awareness might even follow the collapse of the Spell Models and would be demolished with a bang.

Merlin was now in a situation of extreme danger!

"Huh? Not yet dead? You've received a blow from me and haven't died?"

Seeing that Merlin's force was still strong, the Sky God's voice was filled with astonishment. He knew very well that almost no one else, besides a Legend, would be able to withstand that attack.

"So, what if it's a little strange? I'll just have to point again!"

The Sky God slowly extended another finger and was about to move it when suddenly, a firm voice erupted from thin air. "Sky God, I've banished you a few centuries ago, to think that you've infiltrated the Yatho Dimension once again. Since that's the case, I'll demolish your divinity completely today, so that you'll never have a chance to awaken again!"

Accompanied by that booming voice was a deep Spatial Passage which appeared in mid-air. Following that, a figure gradually emerged and stood in the air, facing the god with hands clasped behind his back.

"Yatho, you've finally arrived!"

Upon seeing the figure in the air, a smile tugged at the corner of the Sky God's mouth. However, he did not stop his attack and instead moved even faster, pressing forward with his finger.

"Boom!"

The wind and clouds surged. This gesture was even stronger than the previous one. Endless divine energy whistled as it swept toward Merlin. If Merlin came into contact with just a smidgen of it, he would be crushed to smithereens.

"Sky God, don't you dare!"

Seeing the Sky God's action, a great change came over Wizard Yatho's face. Merlin was Wizard Mogan's most favored disciple, surpassing all his previous disciples. If something happened to him in this dimension, Wizard Yatho could not begin to imagine how mad Wizard Mogan would become.

However, there was no way to block the Sky God's pointing. Even Wizard Yatho who had reached here first was still one step too late. This attack, condensed from boundless divine energy, landed heavily on Merlin once again.
