《A Wizard’s Secret》A Wizard's Secret
Advertisement
Merlin had already abandoned his original body. His core was the Illusory World. As long as it was not destroyed, he would never die. The previous Merlin merely hid the Illusory World within his body, preventing the power of the natural order from discovering it because at that point, the Illusory World was rather weak, unable to directly confront the Void Zone.
However, the Illusory World was perfected now, at a high level of accomplishment. It could function in a stable manner, having its own natural order. Therefore, it could directly withstand the power of the Void Zone. Merlin's body was destroyed but his Mind Power fashioned a new one. That was the Illusory World being displayed, confronting the Void Zone.
"Rumble."
The origin of the natural order rebelled completely. The power of the natural order, thick as an arm, crashed down furiously, its target being Merlin who was below that dusky light.
Merlin lifted his head and glanced at that gigantic power of the natural order. His expression was incomparably calm. At his single thought, the Illusory World rapidly grew into a huge mouth, devouring that beam of natural order instantly.
"Buzz buzz buzz."
How powerful was the natural order? Moreover, it was such a fearsome burst of the natural order, carrying the force of destruction. If it was the previous puny Illusory World, it would have collapsed immediately.
Nonetheless, the current Illusory World was already perfected, being unprecedentedly stable. Within it was the natural order Merlin had established himself. Thus, when this power of the natural order entered the Illusory World, it was swiftly suppressed, not even able to stir up a storm in the Illusory World before calm was restored.
Still, this was merely the beginning. The projection of the origin of the natural order of the Void Zone had sensed the immense threat posed by the Illusory World, so it wanted to smother the Illusory World.
"Splash splash."
Like running water, the origin of the natural order shook and gushes of the power of the natural order cascaded downward like rain. However, they contained a catastrophic power. In the distance, the Three-headed man, the giant tortoise, the Violetfire King, and the Honorable God Blackfrost were stunned at this sight, their hearts incomparably astounded.
Just the power of the current origin of the natural order was enough to wipe them out easily, yet it was only targeting Merlin now, a life form that was not even an ultimate existence.
"Not ultimate… He's not an ultimate existence. What's going on?"
"To be able to incite an attack from the origin of the natural order, more fearsome than the dead end faced by those who have reversed the natural order. What secret is this Merlin hiding?"
These ultimate existences at the peak of the third-grade knew that Merlin before them was not as simple as he appeared to be. To be able to arouse such a terrifying origin of the natural order, only the Vestigial Tribe of the past would enjoy such a "treatment".

"It's useless, Void Zone. By now, my power has solidified. This bit of energy is insufficient by far!"
Merlin chortled as if he had seen through the origin of the natural order, deep into the vast Void Zone. That boundless source of energy was the origin of the natural order.
At this point, Merlin no longer needed the Golden Ray Armor to enhance his strength. He could easily comprehend the mysteries of the entire Void Zone. The current Void Zone, in Merlin's eyes, had no secrets at all.
"Swallow!"
Merlin snorted dismissively. Instantly, his Illusory World expanded rapidly, like a lightless black hole. Not only did it swallow the endless torrent of the power of the natural order that came from the origin of the natural order, but it also seized the opportunity to devour the Void Zone's projection of the origin of the natural order all in one go.
How formidable was the strength of the origin of the natural order? Even if Merlin's Illusory World was perfected, the origin of the natural order still quaked incessantly in the Illusory World. As it quaked, the fields of stars in the Illusory World were constantly collapsing into ruins.
Nonetheless, Merlin was not worried in the slightest. With destruction came regeneration. By now, the Illusory World was thoroughly perfected. Destroying the Illusory World was practically an impossible task. Even if it was ruined, it would quickly give birth to a new world.
As long as the Illusory World's natural order was present, there was an established order. Destruction was actually rebirth!
As time passed, the origin of the natural order's energy grew weaker. Its power was constantly eroded until it was finally suppressed by the Illusory World.
At this point, the Illusory World was wildly expanding with each second. The more time passed, the stronger the Illusory World became.
The projection of the origin of the natural order was directly devoured and suppressed by Merlin's Illusory World. Merlin could sense that the immense origin of the natural order finally felt the threat. Still, it would not attack the Illusory World directly anymore because that had been its greatest strength.
Currently, the Illusory World was an even greater threat to the Void Zone than the Vestigial Tribe had been. Thus, if Merlin was not wrong, the Void Zone would deal with the Illusory World using the same method it had used toward the Vestigial Tribe. The Void Zone could reject the Illusory World completely, causing Merlin who possessed the Illusory World to become incompatible.
How did it feel to be rejected by the entire world?
Merlin could imagine it in general. Presently, he could feel the Void Zone's unparalleled hostility. No matter where he went, there would be no fortunate incidents nor treasures. Even if there were, he would only encounter various calamities.
Furthermore, from time to time, some contenders would resent him for inexplicable reasons, causing more trouble. This was the result of being rejected by the entire Void Zone.

Back when the Vestigial Tribe had swept over the Void Zone, why did it not have a single ally? With their strength, they only had to offer some benefits to entice some foreign civilizations. That would be a piece of cake, but why was it met with opposition from all of the Void Zone's civilizations and tribes?
The Thirty-six Emperors had even joined forces to deal with the Vestigial Tribe together.
Merlin finally understood now. It was not that the Vestigial Tribe was despicable, but because the Vestigial Tribe was already rejected by the Void Zone at that point. Thus, enmity would well up in any life form of the Void Zone when they met the Vestigial Tribe. From this hatred, they went on to join forces, opposing the Vestigial Tribe.
"Hated by the world?"
Merlin laughed. This was nothing. The Void Zone was merely a Latitude Cosmo. To merely protect itself, it utilized various methods. Since it was helpless against Merlin, it would use the Void Zone's forces to attack Merlin at any cost.
Right now, the Honorable God Blackfrost and the Violetfire King was under this influence.
"He even swallowed the origin of the natural order. Even if this Merlin wasn't the Vestigial Tribe, he's surely more frightening than them. He'll end up destroying all our civilizations."
"This won't do. We'll have to combine many civilizations to handle this Merlin. To think that a catastrophe of billions of years has arrived once more, all thanks to one Wizard."
The Honorable God Blackfrost and the Violetfire King automatically assigned Merlin as their greatest enemy, one even more fearsome than the previous Vestigial Tribe.
Naturally, they did not even perceive that perhaps they would previously think in this manner, but at most, they would flee without delay. Why would they take on the thankless task of recruiting more people to deal with Merlin?
This was because Merlin was rejected by the entire Void Zone. The Void Zone had begun to imperceptibly influence all life forms, making them hate Merlin. It would be best if they would all join forces to deal with Merlin, just like the Vestigial Tribe last time.
Of course, Merlin did not intend to let these two off the hook.
"Swish."
Merlin took a step forward without any Maxims, Elements, let alone the power of the natural order, only just Mind Power. Even though his Mind Power had not reached the stage of materializing illusions as reality, it was able to interact with the material plane, and thus the Void Zone, to a significant extent.
"The Golden Ray Armor – if it's not yours, it's not yours!"
Merlin reached forward and grabbed. The Honorable God Blackfrost and the Violetfire King immediately exploded with the power of the natural order, ultimate third-grade strength that erupted without restraint.
However, in the next moment, after the Illusory World enveloped them, the power of the natural order of their bodies was rapidly suppressed and broken down. At last, they were unable to mobilize even the smallest bit of energy.
"This… What's going on?"
"Even if it's the Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimension, at best it could only affect my mobilization of the Void Zone's natural order. Why can't I use the power of the natural order within my own body?"
"It's not that it can't be unleashed but it's suppressed… In here, there's a frightening and entirely different natural order!"
The Honorable God Blackfrost and the Violetfire King stared at Merlin with unprecedented terror. An entirely different natural order that could even suppress the power of the natural order of their Void Zone. What did this mean?
They were merely third-grade ultimate existences, unable to peep into the mysteries of the entire Void Zone. Only those fourth-grade Emperor-level existences could glimpse into the Void Zone's true secrets.
Nonetheless, they knew that the Void Zone only had one type of natural order. All life forms differentiated their strength based on their ability to mobilize this natural order.
They had never heard of a separate natural order, moreover, one that could suppress them. Did this not mean that anyone who entered Merlin's Illusory World would find their power of the natural order being stifled?
With such a consequence, what would Merlin become?
Invincible!
The Honorable God Blackfrost and the Violetfire King exchanged a glance. Both of their power of the natural order was completely smothered. In the Illusory World, they were merely slightly superior to Normies. Even so, they were appalled deep down, unable to keep calm.
Invincible – they were hard-pressed to imagine anyone that could be truly invincible. Even the ancient Thirty-six Emperors had not dared to call themselves invincible.
Nevertheless, as they looked at Merlin now, experiencing Merlin's Illusory World suppressing their power of the natural order, they felt powerless.
"Catastrophe, this is a catastrophe even greater than the Vestigial Tribe taking over the Void Zone…"
The Honorable God Blackfrost was dazed and despondent, his eyes had lost the spark of life.
"Swoosh."
Merlin immediately seized the Golden Ray Armor. At the moment, this Golden Ray Armor had lost its purpose to him.
"Bang bang."
In the Illusory World, the bodies of the Honorable God Blackfrost and the Violetfire King exploded instantly. The natural order in their bodies was rapidly disintegrated and overwhelmed. At last, not even a trace of their forces was left behind…
