《A Wizard’s Secret》A Wizard's Secret

Silence prevailed. The Void Zone quietened down. None of the Eight Great Lord Gods survived; all were wiped out by Merlin's annihilation function.
"Scary, too scary, what sort of ability is that?"
Inside the stealth flying ship a distance away, Roman, Augustus, and the Avian Monarch were beyond astonished. This time, they truly sensed a chilling fear in their bones. The effect was devastating whenever the invisible fluctuation swept by. Even the Eight Great Lord Gods could not escape.
Merlin stared into the distance at the Void Zone. Moments ago, the Eight Great Lord Gods had been wiped out by his annihilation function. This annihilation function was truly terrifying! This was a power that was actually on par with the Thirty-six Emperors. The reason the Golden Ray Armor was created was to fight the Thirty-six Emperors. It was practically the Vestigial Tribe's ultimate capability.
Faced with this immense power, it was inconsequential no matter if it was six Lord Gods or more. Wherever the annihilation function swept past, natural order was disintegrated and ultimate existences were killed. Basically, nothing could resist this power.
However, it consumed a lot more energy. Fortunately, the Dimension Core left behind by the Vestigial Tribe stored sufficient energy resources. Otherwise, this annihilation function could not be maintained over a long time.
"Too bad the divinities are lost!"
Merlin's original intention was just to test the strongest power of the Golden Ray Armor. Besides the annihilation function, it would be challenging for Merlin to kill the six Lord Gods simultaneously.
Nevertheless, he did not imagine that the annihilation function would be so powerful, that even the divinities were completely destroyed. Otherwise, these six strands of divinities could have hastened the growth of Merlin's Illusory World and achieved success.
"Merlin."
Augustus, Roman and the Avian Monarch flew out of the stealth flying ship. Currently, their attitudes had undergone a distinctive transformation. The former Merlin was capable of defying an ultimate existence with the help of the Slothful Beast but he was merely a Lord without it. After all, Merlin's Mind Power had not achieved the stage where he could influence an ultimate existence.

However, this battle saw Merlin clearly dominating and killing the Eight Great Lord Gods. Basically, Merlin had single-handedly destroyed the God Alliance. Such an ability earned a surge of respect from the Avian Monarch and Roman. Similarly, Augustus no longer dared to treat Merlin like any other Lord now.
"Wizard Augustus, Roman, the Avian Monarch, the threat of the God Alliance has been eliminated."
Merlin grinned. He already noticed Roman and the others a long time ago.
"That's right, the threat posed by the God Alliance is gone. You just single-handedly killed the Eight Great Lord Gods! Merlin, you've obtained a substantial loot from the Atlan Dimension. Is this the legendary Golden Ray Armor?"
Roman could not help but ask Merlin. He was extremely fascinated with the Vestigial Tribe's relics, especially the Golden Ray Armor which was the Vestigial Tribe's strongest ability according to legends.
"That's right, this is the Golden Ray Armor I had obtained by accident in the Atlan Dimension."
Merlin did not hide the truth. He had indeed obtained the Golden Ray Armor. Sooner or later, this news would be spread to all the surrounding foreign tribe civilizations. Although the Vestigial Tribe's history was only known to some of the most powerful or ancient existences, very few people mourned the loss of the Vestigial Tribe. Many people also found out from ancient scrolls, the formidableness of the Vestigial Tribe in those days.
"The Golden Ray Armor… Does this mean that the Atlan Dimension is really created by the Vestigial Tribe? There must be quite a number of Vestigial Tribe relics inside then?"
Roman's tone became excited.
"The Atlan Dimension was indeed created by the Vestigial Tribe, but I've completely destroyed everything inside. I brought with me some of the Vestigial Tribe relics, but even I cannot use it."
Afterward, Merlin briefly described what happened inside the Atlan Dimension, including obtaining a large amount of Black Star Armors and Gray Light Armors, as well as the black cat Didimoss facing a dead-end.
"Actually destroyed… Such a pity."
Roman shook his head fervently. As for the Black Star Armor and Gray Light Armors, he wanted one of each of course, but he could not say anything at that moment. He would have to wait until the war completely ended before asking Merlin.

Augustus, on the other hand, paid attention to Merlin's mention of the black cat Didimoss' dead-end. Anxiously, he glanced at the terrifying power of natural order that converged in the Void Zone. He asked gravely, "Don't tell me, this power of natural order was gathered because of Didimoss?"
Merlin looked up towards the power of natural order that had gathered at the top of the Void Zone. At this time, the power of natural order had subtly combined into a cumulonimbus cloud that shrouded the sky above the Atlan Dimension with no signs of subsiding.
"That's right, it's probably Didimoss' dead-end. Didimoss is also not confident to face it, so he's hiding inside the Atlan Dimension. Since the power of natural order is severed on the inside, his dead-end cannot befall him. Once Didimoss is prepared, he will face the dead-end."
Augustus gazed deeply at the Atlan Dimension and said thoughtfully, "So, life-forms which reversed natural order will really face a dead-end. Previously, I've only heard rumors."
Augustus sighed. He looked at Merlin, seemingly wanting to say something but stopped.
Right now, the Spell Caster civilization would truly flourish. Despite the massive loss they suffered in the war including the loss of Arcane Wizard Setoh, they gained Merlin who was able to vanquish the Eight Great Lord Gods.
Additionally, the life-form which reversed natural order, Didimoss, had a fighting chance to resist his dead-end. Once he succeeded in that endeavor, the black cat Didimoss' powers would grow to unimaginable proportions.
Merlin took a look at Augustus, seemingly understanding the latter's thoughts. He deliberated briefly and spoke. "Wizard Augustus, Didimoss came with me from the Glorious Land, naturally, I won't abandon him. However, the dead-end that awaits the life-form that reversed natural order is truly remarkable. Can give it a try, to see whether I can disperse it?"
Merlin knew that Augustus really wanted to ask if he could disperse the black cat Didimoss' dead-end. Whilst Merlin had never attempted such a feat, he was certain that it would be immensely difficult to disperse Didimoss' dead-end. Otherwise, the Thirty-six Emperors would have dispersed the dead-ends for all those reversed natural order life-forms and turn them into existences comparable to the Thirty-six Emperors.
Nonetheless, Merlin had to try and see, what was this dead-end really?
"Annihilation function!"
The invisible fluctuation appeared on Merlin's body once again. Again, he expanded large amounts of energy and commanded the Golden Ray Armor to detonate the chilling annihilation function.
Ripples of annihilation function headed towards the huge natural order cumulonimbus in an imposing manner. Since the power of the annihilation function was able to kill Lord Gods, it should also be able to disintegrate the power of natural order easily.
"Boom".
Nevertheless, when the annihilation function collided with the natural order cumulonimbus, the entire Void Zone seemed to quake. Upon the impact of the annihilation function, the power of natural order was largely disintegrated.
The power of the annihilation function was capable of disintegrating natural order, and this natural order cumulonimbus was merely the condensation of large amounts of power of natural order.
Therefore, wherever the annihilation power swept past, the huge, overwhelming, chilling natural order cumulonimbus actually shrunk and disappeared.
"Dispersed?"
"The dead-end for reversed natural order life-form disappeared so easily?"
"Is it because the annihilation function is too powerful?"
Wherever the annihilation function traveled, no power seemed able to withstand it. Even the natural order cumulonimbus could not withstand it. Therefore, following the sweep of Merlin's annihilation function, this natural order cumulonimbus was actually dispersed.
Augustus, the Avian Monarch, and Roman were incredibly astonished, including Merlin himself.
"Hoo…"
Suddenly, the dispersed power of natural order converged again. This time, the power of natural order appeared to be even larger and more tangible. Above the sky of the Atlan Dimension, a huge eye seemed to be watching it closely.

Re:Hammer
Your average Reborn Game System story, similar to The Gamer and Solo Leveling. Written for fun rather than novilization like the others, so it is smaller and less intense. It is set in an AU Warhammer (based on a slightly modified version of Warhammer Fantasy's End Times. (Modified because the real setting was a catastrophe. There will be no exploding moons or beating the God Of Indulgence because they overindulged, and no Slaans fucking off to space. People shall use their brains and not just "lol cuz I can" bs like Todbringer thinking the end of the fucking world was the best time to go persue you interracial Yaoi rivalry with a Beastlord). So you might notice names and events but don't expect it all to go the same way. And the Main Character is not the only Player in this game~ Sequel found here. https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/26444/rehammer-the-hammering
