Merlin's Mind Power radiated through the entire palace but kept focused on the dusty Black Star Armor. According to Flarite, the Golden Ray Armors were invaluable, and their quantity did not exceed the Thirty-six Emperors. Most probably, there was only about a dozen or two of them, the majority of which were destroyed by the Thirty-six Emperors.

After all, the Golden Ray Armor was the Vestigial Tribe's most preeminent combat force!

Below the Golden Ray Armor was the Black Star Armor. The Black Star Armor was also incredibly precious. It allowed the Vestigial Tribe to possess powers of an ultimate existence, which was utterly unbelievable. Such armors were surely very few in numbers too. The fact that they had managed to see such a complete Black Star Armor was a rare opportunity.

Naturally, Merlin would not allow such an opportunity to go to waste. He wanted to study it carefully, either to understand what kind of powers the Vestigial Tribe possessed or how the Black Star Armor could possess so much power. Additionally, if he could derive some benefits, it would be the icing on the cake.

Merlin gradually converged his Mind Power on the Black Star Armor but there was no response except for an icy feeling and an even thicker aura of death. There was no sign of life.

No matter how powerful the Vestigial Tribe was, they were ultimately life-form tribes. Merlin's senses would not be wrong. He was sure that he did not sense any living aura.

Slowly, all of them approached the Black Star Armor. Wizard Setoh raised his hand abruptly to stop them. "Hold on. Everyone, stop moving. I'm just an avatar so it's okay even if I perish. So, I'll go first."

All of them exchanged a look with one another. Flarite, who knew the Vestigial Tribe the best and was the strongest contender among the group, was also wary and guarded. Thus, everyone agreed for Wizard Setoh to go first.

Wizard Setoh took a deep breath. With Maxims encasing his body for protection, he carefully inched toward the Black Star Armor.

"Swish."

Finally, Wizard Setoh extended a hand and grabbed the Black Star Armor on the ground.

"Huh? Why won't it move?"

The Black Star Armor looked very lightweight but Setoh's grasp, encased in an ultimate Maxim which could move even a mountain, failed to move it. It was as if the armor was completely drilled into the ground.

"What's happening? Lift!"

Setoh's expression darkened. Subsequently, the Darkness Maxim on his body reconsolidated a new hand that applied directly on the Black Star Armor. This was a terrifying amount of power that could move an ordinary dimension.

"Boom."

The huge force resonated onto the Black Star Armor but it remained unmoved. The entire foyer even shook slightly, and dust flew into the air. Other than that, there were no other changes.

"Swish swish."

Merlin, Flarite, and the others approached quickly and surrounded the Black Star Armor. Each of them looked at Setoh.

"Wizard Setoh, what happened?"

Merlin asked softly.

Setoh's face was slightly gloomy. He stared at the Black Star Armor and spoke slowly, "This armor is a bit peculiar. No matter how much strength I wield, it remains unyielding. I can't lift it at all."

"Can't be lifted? Let me try!"

Merlin extended his hand. His Flame and Darkness ultimate Maxims transformed into two large hands which grabbed the opposite ends of the armor. The power of both ultimate Maxims exploded in an instant, causing Setoh and the others to take a few steps backward.

Merlin's expression grew graver. It was just as Wizard Setoh said. The Black Star Armor on the ground was completely unyielding. There was no way for them to move this armor.

"Flarite, you understand the Vestigial Tribe better. What's happening?"

Merlin cast his gaze upon Flarite. Only Flarite had a better understanding of the Vestigial Tribe.

Flarite looked at the Black Star Armor carefully. After a moment, he sighed. "You truly don't know the Vestigial Tribe's fearsomeness. The real foundations of the Vestigial Tribe are the Golden Ray Armor, Black Star Armor, and Gray Light Armor! According to rumors, once the Vestigial Creatures reach a certain age and undergo a certain training, they're allowed to put on these armors. Whichever armor is most suitable for them, they can wear it and become undefeatable! Thus, this armor can only be worn by the real Vestigial Creatures. Anyone else wouldn't be able to command it. Otherwise, the Black Star Armor wouldn't have been lying here untouched. It would've been taken by the Giant Tribe a long time ago."

Merlin nodded his head internally. Flarite was right. Looking at the traces of destruction in this place, it was obvious that after a ferocious battle, the Vestigial Tribe was defeated, and the Titan Giants of the Giant Tribe prevailed.

Nonetheless, this Black Star Armor remained here. Most probably, it was because no one other than the Vestigial Tribe could move the armor. Even the Titan Giants who excelled in strength were not able to move it, what more Merlin and his entourage.

Mindful of that, Merlin waved his hand and cleared away all the dust on the surface of the Black Star Armor, revealing a dark shimmer underneath. It was unknown what material was this armor constructed from, that even the Titan Giants could not crush it. The defensive capabilities of this armor were monumental.

However, the Vestigial Tribe member who wore this armor had perished. All that was left was this powerful armor.

Merlin gently stroked the surface of the armor but did not find any kind of switch. The entire armor appeared to be completely conjoined with no gaps at all. It was a one-piece suit that looked uniquely striking.

"Let's go then. Since we can't obtain the Black Star Armor, we better find the heritage blood!"

Merlin stood up. Since he was unable to manipulate this Black Star Armor, he had no choice but to give up. First, they had to search for the heritage blood that Titan Giant Chronos required.

Earlier outside the palace, they had already sensed a gust of authority which was similar to Chronos. Most likely, it was emitted by the heritage blood that Chronos had described. Only the heritage blood, which contained the entire essence of a powerful Titan Giant, could possibly emit such an authority.

Soon, they saw a few boxes situated at the front of the palace. Despite the powerful authority lingering outside these boxes, Merlin and the others were overjoyed.

"Finally, we found it!"

Setoh swiftly stepped forward, and opened a few boxes. However, all of them were empty except for the last box, which contained a drop of crimson blood.

This crimson blood appeared to contain immeasurable strength. Setoh was forced to utilize a Maxim to grasp it. Even then, it was wobbling unstoppably.

As for the other boxes, perhaps they were used to contain heritage blood but for some unknown reasons, they were empty. Perhaps, some of the heritage blood was destroyed during the war or had been deliberately hidden away by other Titan Giants.

Nevertheless, Chronos must have obtained a drop of heritage blood from this palace in the past, allowing him to become the only Titan Giant of the Giant Tribe.

"This drop of heritage blood is the Giant Tribe's hope!"

Setoh naturally understood the significance of the box in his hand to the Giant Tribe. Once this drop of heritage blood was passed over to Chronos, it meant that the Giant Tribe would soon have two Titan Giants.

Fortunately, no matter how much the Giant Tribe expanded, they could not possibly pose a threat to the Spell Caster civilization. This was because there was an even more powerful God Alliance constituting the eight largest god organizations between them. Regardless of the Spell Caster civilization or the Giant Tribe, the God Alliance was the monstrosity that could not be overcome.

"Alright, we've got the heritage blood. This place is peculiar all-around, let's leave as soon as possible."

Setoh kept away the box filled with the heritage blood, and spoke solemnly.

Everyone nodded in agreement. It would be prudent not to loiter in this place for too long. Who knew what else was left behind from that massive war?

Hence, they quickly flew out of the palace. However, just as they passed by the Black Star Armor lying on the ground, everyone felt disgruntled that they could not take the Black Star Armor away.

"Hum."

Suddenly, unbeknownst whether it was Merlin's hallucination, he felt as though the Black Star Armor was quivering faintly.
