The dimension was quiet. Its original name was unimportant now that it was occupied by Franz. Therefore, this dimension was called the Franz Dimension.

Franz had built a huge castle in the dimension. When Merlin and the others approached the castle, Franz's real body came outside to greet them.

"Welcome, everyone!"

Franz said with a gentle smile. Then, he invited Merlin and the others into the castle.

Their Mind Power was investigating this new dimension. There was already life in this dimension but it was low-intelligence life. As long as it was firmly controlled, and in the future could attract Spell Casters and ordinary people, then the dimension could become a Spell Caster dimension.

Merlin also noticed that although the location of this dimension was some distance away from the nearest Spell Cater civilization, the distance was not too huge. If a few dimensions of some foreign tribes between them could be occupied as well, then these dimensions could be connected in a series, and the power of the Spell Caster civilization would be strengthened.

"Perhaps that's how the Spell Caster civilization slowly occupied hundreds of millions of dimensions."

Ideas flashed one after another in Merlin's mind.

"Everyone, the Golden-winged Insect Tribe hasn't arrived yet but I'll explain to you first what caused everything. It's better to make some preparations."

The battle for this dimension did not seem to be that simple, so Merlin listened carefully.

Franz continued. "I believe everyone knows that I'm close to forming a second Fire-type Maxim. Therefore, I came all the way from Setoh Arcane City and stayed here for several decades before the civilization war with the Rock Tribe began. It's been nearly a hundred years since, and I've finally found a masterless dimension.

"However, it's not accurate to say that it's masterless. Its original master was the insect mother of an insect tribe. This insect mother died while competing for another dimension. Due to some workings of fate, I took the lead and refined the Elemental Origin of this dimension, thus controlling this dimension.

"However, I didn't expect trouble to come so soon. The insect mother left a message telling other insect tribe comrades the exact coordinates of this dimension. Therefore, when some insect tribes came and found that it was occupied by me, I believe you can guess what happened next. After a fierce battle, I drove them away but the insect tribe won't let it go. They'll gather some insect mothers to fight again. I don't have the confidence to defend this dimension alone, so I could only invite all of you to help me protect it."

Franz told the entire story of this dimension in detail. It was not special for something like this to happen in the boundless territory as it was common.

Occupying a dimension, then greedily wanting to occupy more dimensions may end up in you being killed by other foreign tribes. Then, the dimension left behind would become masterless again.

Therefore, the trouble caused was not small.

"Haha, those insect tribes have always been an eyesore. So, what if we rob them? Wizard Franz, we'll help you defend this dimension. Let's see how many insect mothers those insect tribes can bring."

The one who spoke was Wizard Duca. He was the stronger one among them, and he was a Legend who had already consolidated two Maxims. Of course, his relationship with Wizard Franz was also the closest, so he would naturally come to help.

Merlin nodded with a thoughtful look. An insect mother was an insect that had reached a certain level of strength comparable to a Great Legend among Spell Casters.

However, these insect mothers had a very powerful ability, which was reproduction. An insect mother could reproduce an entire subspecies in a short amount of time.

If they had occupied a dimension, they would soon be able to populate the entire dimension with their kind. Therefore, there was no doubt the tribe with the most quantity was the insect tribe.

However, insect tribes also had a fatal characteristic – once the insect mother died, the countless other insect tribes bred by the insect mother would also die instantly.

Unless the insect tribes could become a new insect mother, then it would not be affected by other insect mothers.

Therefore, the insect mother was the strongest in an insect tribe. As long as the insect mother was killed, the other insect tribes would be of no threat. The insect mother also relied on the development of insect tribe species to enhance its strength. The more dimensions it occupied, the more insects could be bred, and the stronger they would be.

"When will these Golden-winged Insects arrive?"

After a long time, Merlin asked.

Franz hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm not sure about that either, but many days have passed. According to how the Golden-winged Insect Tribe's style, it'll be very soon."

Merlin glanced around. There was a total of five Spell Casters above Legend, including himself. No matter how strong the insect tribe was, they should be able to hold on. Although many intense battles were happening in the boundless territory, there was no need to fight so fiercely for an ordinary dimension.

Therefore, the insect tribe could only send three to four insect mothers. Like Merlin and the others had guessed, the Golden-winged insect mother finally arrived.

"Buzz buzz buzz."

A golden cloud seemed to appear outside the Franz Dimension. However, there were no clouds in the boundless territory. It was all caused by the Golden-winged Insect Tribe.

It was the first time Merlin saw the Golden-winged Insect Tribe. He had seen the Tree Tribe, the Rock Tribe, the Giant Tribe, and so on but he had never seen an insect tribe. Now that he had finally seen it, it was shocking.

Outside the dimension were Golden-winged Insects densely packed into golden clouds. There was a countless number of them.

Among the Golden-winged Insect Tribe army, four enormous insects could be seen at a glance. They seemed to be of the same size as the tyrant raptor from before.

These four insect mothers were the key, and the densely packed insects were just cannon fodder that the insect mother had bred. Merlin finally realized what "quantity" was, and why the insect tribes were so annoying.

With such a terrifying reproductive ability, if they were not restrained after occupying a dimension, that dimension would be hollowed out by the sheer number of insects.

It was not surprising that the insect tribes were developing everywhere in the Void Zone. They did not care if their forces would be connected. As long as they could occupy a dimension, they would begin to multiply.

"They're here. Be careful, everyone. Don't underestimate those cannon fodder."

Franz warned that the insect mother liked to use numbers to her advantage and make countless insects attack at the same time. These insects looked insignificant but were terrifying. If one got too close, then it would even tear Maxims apart bit by bit.

The insect mother would only act as a final resort. They could continuously reproduce these cannon fodder insects.

"I hate fighting these insect mothers. They're so troublesome."

Wizard Ansya also felt helpless. However, in the face of these densely packed insects, they had no other choice. They could only destroy the cannon fodder to get close to the insect mother.

"Kill."

With Franz's loud growl, the four Great Legends immediately released their Maxims. The terrifying power of those Maxims carried incredible destructive power and surged toward the insect tribe.

"Buzz buzz buzz."

Hundreds of millions of insects were crushed to death by the Maxims, and Franz pushed forward slightly. However, seeing the unending amounts of insects left, they still feel helpless.

Against the insect mother, unless one had the advantage of absolute crushing power, they could only rely on slowly chipping off these cannon fodder to approach the insect mother, where the true battle would start.

"Crash."

Merlin also acted. With a wave of his hand, a large area of insects was immediately frozen and died. These insects were indeed very weak.

However, upon closer inspection, Merlin realized that some insects that did not die, and were slowly nibbling at the spells. He cast a variety of spells – Fire-type, Ice-type, Wind-type and so on, and all of them killed a large number of insects but there was still an endless amount left.

It was purely a waste of Magical Power.

"The insect tribes are indeed strong but they can only deal with ordinary Legendary Wizards. Against Mind Power Masters, numbers won't be of any use."

Merlin took a deep breath. He already found a way to deal with these insects. They had numbers so he would cast Hallucinating spells, the method of a Mind Power Master.

"Everyone, you don't have to deal with these cannon fodder anymore. Let me handle them."

Merlin suddenly said.

"You'll handle it?"

Ansya and the other Legendary Wizards frowned, wondering what trick Merlin had up his sleeve.

Merlin did not mind and smiled. "I'm not a pure Spell Caster. I'm also a Mind Power Master!"

Saying that, Merlin swiftly flew to the insects, and immediately mobilized his Mind Power.

"Illusion!"

The huge Mind Power instantly shrouded the densely packed insects like a large net. These insects only had simplistic minds. Their intelligence would grow as their strength improved.

However, no matter how high it was, they could not resist Merlin's Hallucinating spell. After all, Merlin's Hallucinating spell could confuse even ordinary Legends.

Furthermore, Merlin now had deeper enlightenment of Hallucinating spells after experiencing life and death. He could almost reach the realm of the Illusory Heart.

Therefore, Merlin's Hallucinating Spell caused a strange sight in the Void Zone. No matter how much the insect mother urged, the insects remained frozen. Their expressions were dull.

Franz and the others were doubtful at first but upon seeing the hundreds of millions of terrifying insects in the dull, frozen state, they could not help but expressed shock.

"A Mind Power Master's Hallucinating spell… It's terrifying!"

After a long time, only the female Legend, Wizard Ansya, said with emotion.

However, they also quickly came to their senses. They immediately leaped over to the densely packed insects and targeted the four insect mothers.
