"Sir Roman, Your Majesty Chronos, Your Majesty the Avian Monarch, Sir Mother Tree, the Atlan civilization isn't easy to defeat. We're unable to enter the Atlan Dimension. Meanwhile, the dimension continues to send out warships and puppet. However, this isn't the most chilling thought yet but the fact that in the Atlan Dimension, there's a possibility that divinities exist, and Lord God-level divinities to boot! If they're willing to present these divinities to the Lord Gods, then it wouldn't be surprising if the God Alliance interferes in this war."

Merlin finally voiced out the worry that was weighing on his mind. In such circumstances, he had no choice but to reveal it.

"The Atlan civilization has Lord God-level divinities? These are good items to have. The Lord God divinity is beneficial for us to understand the vastness of the natural order. What more those gods, the benefits they could possibly derive are beyond imagination. If they have Lord God-level divinities, then I'm sure the Lord Gods of the God Alliance will be sorely tempted!"

The Avian Monarch revealed a grave expression.

Currently, with six ultimate existences and one Slothful Beast, their force appeared sufficient to suppress the Rock Tribe, Light God Organization, and the Atlan civilization. Despite the threat posed by the void-level warship, the defensive capabilities of the Mother Tree and the Slothful Beast were not at all inferior to the void-level warship. In addition, they also had Roman's stealth flying ship. Under the watchful eyes of so many ultimate existences coupled with the stealth flying ship, the Atlan civilization's void-level warship was now at risk.

Therefore, it appeared that the Spell Caster civilization now held the upper hand. However, should the God Alliance interfered, the odds would change significantly. Perhaps, it would become a drawn-out war, which was not favorable news to any of the ultimate existences.

"We must prevent the interference of the God Alliance!"

His Majesty Chronos also seemed to come to the same conclusion, and said in a deep voice.

"That's right. If we want to prevent the God Alliance from interfering, we must make sure the Atlan civilization cannot send out its Lord God-level divinities. Hence, we must first cut off all communication between the Atlan Dimension and the Void Zone."

Subsequently, Merlin voiced out his idea.

Now that both sides were staying in defensive mode, the Spell Caster civilization could leave behind the Mother Tree and Arcane Wizard Ceci to stand guard. Considering the Mother Tree's tough defensive capabilities and with Ceci's help, even if the Atlan civilization were to attack, their defense would not be easily breached.

As for His Majesty Chronos, His Majesty the Avian Monarch, Sir Roman, Merlin's Slothful Beast as well as the number one contender of the Spell Caster civilization, Augustus, they would set off together to the Atlan Dimension. Their mission was to cut off the communication between the Atlan Dimension and the Void Zone. The best-case scenario would be to seal the Atlan Dimension once again, thus blocking the Atlan Dimension from retreating, and at the same time, stopping the continuous supply of assistance from the Atlan Dimension.

Merlin's idea had its merits. After some discussion, everyone agreed to the plan. The only hurdle was the Slothful Beast. Roman's stealth flying ship could not fit the Slothful Beast's gigantic body.

Merlin's spatial ring was completely unable to fit such a humongous Slothful Beast either. On the other hand, if they left the Slothful Beast in the Spell Caster civilization without the suppression of Merlin's Hallucinating spell, even his avatar would not be able to tame the Slothful Beast. Instead, there might be some changes.

Thus, Merlin was stumped.

Just as Merlin was fretting about the Slothful Beast, Augustus said unconcernedly, "Merlin, it's not that difficult to bring the Slothful Beast with us. Look at this."

With that, Augustus passed a ring to Merlin.

"Wizard Augustus, what's this?"

Merlin held the ring. It felt similar to a spatial ring but considering the massive size of the Slothful Beast, no spatial ring could contain it.

"You'll find out once you look inside."

Augustus did not answer but instead, replied cryptically.

Merlin's interest was piqued, so he quickly extended his Mind Power into the ring.

"Whoosh."

In an instant, Merlin's Mind Power entered an irregular subspace. The vastness of this subspace was completely unprecedented. How long did it take to carve out such a large subspace?

"No, this isn't a subspace! It's a dimension!"

Merlin finally noticed the discrepancies because this unending subspace also contained a thick concentration of elements. In fact, the elements were very active.

Merlin's Mind Power continued to extend into the ring. Finally, he found stars… These were characteristics which were unique to dimensions including the sun, the moon, and the stars, as well as the earth, constellations, elements… Other than life, everything was complete. This was an empty dimension that did not seem to contain any life forms.

The part that astonished Merlin the most was this empty dimension was unimaginably huge, perhaps as big as hundreds of dimensions combined. Even though it was still at a nascent stage and was yet to be perfected nor was it as large as the Arcane Cities, it was still an actual dimension.

"Phew…"

Merlin exhaled lengthily as he retracted his Mind Power from the ring. He looked at Augustus. "Wizard Augustus, this is…"

Augustus waved his hand. "Back then, after I've constructed Augustus Arcane City, I kept thinking about whether I can construct another dimension but not just an average dimension. This dimension must be huge, massive… Thereafter, we encountered the Atlan civilization. So, I had a plan in my heart to construct a huge dimension. This dimension isn't as big as the Atlan Dimension, and isn't detached from the natural order like the Atlan Dimension. All I could manage was to pack this huge dimension into this ring.

"Unless an ultimate existence was to utilize every tactic, this ring cannot be destroyed. Originally, I was planning to use this dimension as the final land of hope for the Spell Caster civilization but I didn't manage to perfect it. Now, I'm giving it to you to keep the Slothful Beast inside. It should be big enough to fit the Slothful Beast, right?"

Listening to Augustus' explanation, Merlin was even more speechless than before.

Constructing such a huge dimension, Merlin, of course, knew how much effort was required. Even since the last war with the Atlan civilization, Augustus had been carving out this humongous dimension. This was almost one thousand years ago.

His thousand-year hard work was now being passed to Merlin. Naturally, Merlin knew the significance of this gesture. Augustus was truly the first Arcane Wizard of the Spell Caster civilization. His heart was set on the continuation and development of the civilization, and was always searching for new pathways for the Spell Caster civilization to grow. Unfortunately, while the dimension in the ring was enormous, it was still far from perfect, so life forms would not thrive in it.

Otherwise, Augustus would have sent some prodigies of the Spell Caster civilization inside from the very beginning. This was so that even if the Spell Caster civilization was exterminated, its seedling would still exist. Then, perhaps one day, the Spell Caster would rise again from the ashes, like the Giant Tribe.

"It's enough. Such a humongous subspace can surely fit the Slothful Beast."

Merlin did not hesitate. He immediately aimed it at the Slothful Beast and stored it inside the ring. Naturally, the Slothful Beast had to be cooperative as well. Otherwise, no matter how big a subspace was, it would not be possible to store it.

After Merlin stored the Slothful Beast in the ring, Roman nodded. "Good, the problem regarding the Slothful Beast is solved. Shall we depart now?"

Time was of the essence. If the Atlan civilization had retrieved the divinities and distributed it to the Lord Gods from the God Alliance, it would be problematic. Hence, they had to seize this opportunity and cut off all communication between the Atlan Dimension and the Void Zone.

"Yes, we're leaving now. Sir Roman, your stealth flying ship, please!"

Roman immediately took out his stealth flying ship.

This stealth flying ship looked identical to the ordinary warships but in reality, upon activation, it could be hidden completely. Moreover, its speed was so incomprehensibly fast that even an ultimate existence could not keep up to it.

Only supreme existences such as the Thirty-six Emperors could be a match to the Vestigial Tribe's stealth flying ship.

Other than the stealth flying ship, there was also the gravitational force field. Both of these were powerful war weapons used by the Vestigial Tribe. They were also Roman's aces in the hole. With just these two war weapons, Roman could dominate the entire Void Zone without fear, despite being just an ordinary ultimate existence himself.

Finally, Chronos also realized why Roman did not seem to be bothered by the ancestral land, which felt threatening even to him. It was not due to Roman's fascination of the Vestigial Tribe that he lost all rationale but instead, his confidence and his aces.

"Swish swish swish."

Once Merlin and the others had entered the stealth flying ship, Roman navigated it toward the Void Zone and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Wizard Ceci, we better start preparing as well."

The Mother Tree stared at the empty Void Zone before them. He dared not be careless. No one knew when the Atlan civilization would start again.

Thus, the Mother Tree began to emit a lush green glow. Atop his head, a sprawling illusory tree appeared, suspended amid the boundless Void Zone. With a single flash of green light, numerous seeds appeared.

These seeds landed on the nearest hundreds of dimensions that belonged to the Spell Caster civilization. Immediately, the seeds sprouted into huge towering trees that covered the entire sky of each dimension. Hundreds of tree crowns continued to grow and expand, eventually forming a single tightly-woven net that covered the Void Zone.

"Great, I've made the arrangements and will stand guard now, with Wizard Ceci as my back-up. Should the Atlan civilization's void-level warship make an appearance, they would not be able to invade the Spell Caster civilization for quite some time!"

The Mother Tree was utterly confident in his defensive capabilities. The Tree Tribe was naturally bestowed with defensive abilities. Every single Tree Folk was the same. To conquer a dimension that had a Tree Folk would consume a tremendous effort.

Moreover, this was a defense personally arranged by the Mother Tree. If push came to shove, the Mother Tree was also able to transform into his true form to block any attack. Coupled with the speed of Roman's stealth flying ship, the rest of them should have enough time to return.

Therefore, the Spell Caster civilization was safe for now. However, determining the victor of the war would be contingent upon Merlin and the others inside the stealth flying ship.
