"Rumble."

The subspace used by the Vestigial Tribe to store their most valuable treasures was now destroyed. The treasures within had been cleaned out by Merlin. Even if he could not use them now, it did not mean he could not use them in the future.

Moreover, even if he could not use them, there was Roman who was obsessed with the Vestigial Tribe's treasures. In particular, the three types of armors were the Vestigial Tribe's most precious treasures. Merlin might be able to exchange them for something good.

It should be known that Roman's stealth flying ship was impressive. Its speed alone had surpassed any casting tool or warship Merlin had ever seen, and it could conceal forces.

"Merlin, are we going to leave the Atlan Dimension?"

The black cat Didimoss glanced around. The hopeship was already controlled completely by Merlin. As there was no Dimension Core to supply the energy, even the hopeship's fortress cannons could not be activated anymore.

"Leave?"

Merlin shook his head, murmuring, "There's still plenty of good stuff in the Atlan Dimension. We mustn't miss this opportunity."

"What other good stuff is there in this dimension?"

Didimoss hopped onto Merlin's shoulder. He did not quite like this dimension, for he was not as free and easy as in the Void Zone. In here, there was a feeling of "confinement".

This was due to the unique power set up by the Vestigial Tribe to protect the entire dimension from being wrecked by ultimate existences, and to cut off the Void Zone's power of the natural order.

From the Golden Ray Armor's control program, Merlin did not discover anything about methods to cut off the natural order. Although the Atlan Dimension Core had disappeared, and being absorbed and refined by Merlin, this power that cut off the natural order still did not vanish.

"Found it!"

Merlin suddenly opened his eyes. Earlier, he had used Mind Power to search for the secret base that manufactured void-level warships in the hopeship. This secret base was hidden indeed, buried underground. Anyone without the necessary identification would not be able to enter.

"Swish."

In one step, Merlin traversed through space and came to a valley that looked quite wild and overgrown. The Atlan Dimension was unlike the Void Zone for it had space that could be traveled through. The Void Zone had no space, and one could only use a warship or casting tools to slowly fly along.

However, even an ultimate existence who flew on their own would have a pitiful pace. Wishing to travel the entire Void Zone was a fool's dream. After all, the Void Zone was far too vast and immense, even for ultimate existences. Only existences such as the Thirty-six Emperors would dare claim that they had traveled through the entire Void Zone.

Other than them, only the Vestigial Tribe had this ability. The formidable spaceships manufactured by the Vestigial Tribe excelled in speed, able to swiftly cut through wide swathes of regions. This was the true reason the Vestigial Tribe could sweep the entire Void Zone.

As the Vestigial Tribe had these spaceships of extreme speed, they were able to spread the flames of war to any place in the Void Zone. In the end, all the civilizations had no choice but to join forces and battle the Vestigial Tribe under the Thirty-six Emperors' leadership.

Without these spaceships of extreme speed, even if the Vestigial Tribe had many fighters, it would be useless. If war erupted in one place but ended up requiring ten thousand years of delay in the journey, the war would have ended long ago. It would be completely futile.

Merlin had heard Roman speaking of this before, only he had not seen the Vestigial Tribe's spaceships of extreme speed even until today.

"Break!"

Merlin had used Mind Power to discover this secret base underground, so he could not bother thinking of a plan, simply using his Maxim to deliver a ruthless blow. The entire valley started to shake and soon, a colossal crack appeared in the valley, revealing a large black door.

Merlin carried the black cat Didimoss, and walked through the black door. In front of the door, there was a unique identification system. If it was anyone else, they could only force their way in if they could not enter. Nonetheless, Merlin did not wish to destroy the things inside. Moreover, his Illusory World had enveloped the entire hopeship. As long as they were intelligent creatures, who could escape?

This was a terrifying aspect of Merlin's refined Mind Power system. If there had been an accomplished user of the Illusory World like Merlin among the Thirty-six Emperors, the Vestigial Tribe could not possibly have become such a scary civilization, taking over the entire Void Zone.

"Open the passage."

Merlin immediately commanded the Atlans in the secret base. These people's minds were controlled by Merlin, so very soon, the door was opened. A strict security measure became worthless before Merlin.

"Lead the way to where the void-level warships are manufactured."

Merlin said to the Atlans who came forward to receive him. Their eyes were blank and lifeless, clearly under Merlin's Mind Control.

Thus, he followed these Atlans and gradually headed downward. During this period, Merlin had noticed various hidden weapons. If one had forced their way in, even an Honored Legend would be killed.

It was obvious that this secret base was highly prioritized by the Atlans. After all, this base was manufacturing the Atlan civilization's ultimate weapon – the void-level warship that could kill an ultimate existence.

"Whoosh."

After a narrow passage, an incomparably spacious hall appeared before Merlin. As he glanced downward, there were still endless floors below, at least equivalent to a building with a hundred stories.

The Altans had built such an enormous underground facility. Still, if one had considered the countless robots owned by the Atlans, constructing such a massive project was not that surprising.

Each of these halls had a different function. The uppermost hall merely had people who performed preliminary work or researched the theories.

The second hall manufactured the engine furnace of the warship, the third hall manufactured the control system, and so on. In short, each hall contained everything that was needed but merely manufacturing a part of the void-level warship.

In the end, after all manufacturing was completed, everything was assembled on the final floor. This was in full accordance with the Vestigial Tribe's method of manufacturing the void-level warship. With this method, when ores and energy were sufficient, the Vestigial Tribe could even mass-produce void-level warships.

These void-level warships had killed an unknown number of ultimate existences in that catastrophe. After all, before the Vestigial Tribe swept over the Void Zone, millions of civilizations and even ultimate existences were innumerable. It was not like now when ultimate contenders were unprecedentedly rare.

In so many years after that initial war, many foreign civilizations had even gone extinct.

After observing the secret base where the Atlan civilization manufactured void-level warships, Merlin was once again deeply shocked. The Vestigial Tribe's power was built upon non-stop conquers of dimensions and foreign civilizations for the sake of obtaining more resources and energy. After obtaining these elements, the Vestigial Tribe could manufacture, in the shortest period, void-level warships that could kill ultimate existences.

It was not surprising that the Void Zone's countless tribes were unable to resist the Vestigial Tribe if it were not for the Thirty-six Emperors. The Vestigial Tribe's method of producing the void-level warships and other warships was made just for war.

In terms of fighting ability, the Vestigial Tribe was at the top. The entire development of the civilization headed toward the call of war. The latest technology was forever exploited by the Vestigial Tribe to be used in wars.

Soon, Merlin came to the final floor. When the door of the final floor opened, Merlin instantly detected a familiar force.

It was not the force of the void-level warship but divinity!

"Divinity?"

Merlin was slightly stunned. Before this, his Mind Power had not examined carefully. Naturally, he did not know that there was divinity in this secret base that manufactured void-level warships.

Furthermore, from this strand of divinity, Merlin perceived an overwhelming godly might. Most gods had formidable godly might but to the current Merlin, it would be of no use.

However, the divinity here could still exude an immense godly might. It was certainly not any ordinary divinity.

"It's divinity… Merlin, this would be delicious!"

The black cat Didimoss' eyes shone as his previous "dispirited" expression was swept aside. Divinity was the gods' most mystical power. It was said that if the divinity was not extinguished, the god would not die.

Therefore, no matter which tribe or civilization, they could all use this divinity. Even the Atlan civilization could use divinity as an energy source.

In particular, this divinity was clearly not ordinary.

"Swish."

Merlin paid no mind to Didimoss and flew toward the source of the divinity's force. Merlin soon came before a gigantic pond and saw that it was filled with countless divinity, glittering with dazzling radiance.

These strands of divinity had been bound by the Atlans through some special method. Nonetheless, even though they were bound, that terrifying godly might was still unbridled.

Merlin went forward slightly and could feel that majestic might. It was not ordinary gods, even surpassing upper rank gods. It was… Lord God!

This divinity was Lord God-level divinity, and the amount was not insignificant.

It must be known that every Lord God was comparable to an ultimate existence. It was far too challenging to kill a Lord God. Even during the Spell Caster civilization's war against the God Alliance, no gods had died.

Previously, they had surrounded the Lord God of Light with great difficulty but he even slipped away at the final moment. It was enough to see that Lord Gods were troublesome. Killing them and extracting their divinity was too difficult.

"The Atlans hadn't entered the Void Zone before this. Naturally, it's impossible that they had killed these gods. In that case… It's left behind by the Vestigial Tribe?"

Merlin recalled that back then, the Atlans had handed a huge amount of Lord God-level divinity to the God Alliance. It was thanks to this divinity that the God Alliance would join forces with the Atlan civilization in their war against the Spell Caster civilization.
