A Wizard's Secret

Chapter 761: The Birth of the Mind Power System!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A dimension-level warship, even in the Atlan civilization, was a terrifying tactical-grade warship. It was the strongest force of the Atlan civilization at the present.

In the Atlan civilization, a dimension-level warship was far more valuable than the Great Lords in the Spell Caster civilization. The Spell Caster civilization merely had twenty-eight Lords but in the Atlan civilization, only thirteen dimension-level warships had appeared on the current battlefield, including this one which was destroyed.

Now that they had lost a dimension-level warship, this was the heaviest blow to the Atlan civilization. Moreover, the tide began to turn. The destruction of the Atlan civilization’s dimension-level warship had transformed how the Spell Casters perceived the Atlan civilization. Those warships were not unrivaled, and even the strongest one could be destroyed.

Merlin continued forward. The Rock Tribe fighters, Atlan civilizations warships, and Light Believers under his control grew in numbers. With him at the center, it was like a majestic army which turned around, wildly clashing against the other fighters of the Rock Tribe and the Atlan civilization’s warships.

The entire situation of the battlefield had been reversed because of Merlin!

By himself, Merlin was practically an unstoppable army. No matter how many there were, they only increased Merlin’s strength. It was the first time these Great Legends, Honored Legends, and Lords knew how scary Mind Power Masters were.

Control over their minds – any creature with intelligence could be controlled. On the large-scale of the battlefield, Merlin was practically a master. No one was willing to confront a being who could instantly control their mind.

After all, no one wished to face their brothers who had just fought by their side to turn around to kill them immediately, madly slaughtering everyone.

A Mind Power Master like Merlin who could control hearts and minds was the nightmare of all his enemies!

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh.”

As if noticing the changes of the battlefield, the two Progenitors of the Rock Tribe and the Lord God of Light swiftly wriggled out from their fight with the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards, retreating in a bewildered manner.

When they first saw the vast “army” gathering by Merlin’s side, they found it inconceivable, especially the Lord God of Light, who was exceptionally enraged. Of course, he recognized Merlin at once.

“How could you not have died?”

The Lord God of Light found it difficult to believe his own eyes. Back then, a puny Spell Caster who had wiped out one of his will avatars was now a key figure in turning the tide of the battle.

Those who could change the course of a battlefield, other than ultimate existences, were those widely recognized Greatest Lords. It was even difficult for ultimate existences to kill these Greatest Lords, who were legendary figures. In millions of years or even longer, the entire Void Zone might not be able to produce one of these fortune-favored children of an era.

Clearly, Merlin was not a Greatest Lord but his strange abilities were naturally discerned by the Rock Progenitors and the Lord God of Light at once. They could tell that Merlin was not using the powers of a Spell Caster but a terrifying new capability.

The Lord God of Light glared steadily at Merlin. His understanding of the Spell Caster civilization was even deeper than some Spell Casters themselves. Therefore, after a quick observation, his face changed slightly as he said hoarsely, “Could he be a Mind Power Master? He is. He must be. In so many years, the Spell Caster civilization has been brewing a transformation, producing existences called Mind Power Masters. They don’t rely on the power of Spell Models but Mind Power. It was just that the Mind Power system has never been refined hence, unable to produce beings on par with Great Legends. Even in the Spell Caster civilization, it isn’t mainstream at all.”

“Mind Power Masters?”

The two Progenitors of the Rock Tribe deeply bore this name in their minds. If a Mind Power Master was so fearsome, then it was a frightening system of power.

“O’ three ultimate existences, both of your tribes can withdraw first. We’ve already analyzed that the opponent has intense Mind Power fluctuations, able to control the minds of any intelligent creature. However, it doesn’t seem to affect much any existences above the Lords in the Spell Caster civilization. Let your Lord-level existences stay. Furthermore, our Atlan civilization has thought of a countermeasure.”

Suddenly, a raspy voice spoke in the ears of the two Rock Progenitors and the Lord God of Light. They knew that this was the voice of the Atlan civilization’s mysterious “leader”.

The Lord God of Light and the two Rock Progenitors exchanged a glance. Even though the Lord God of Light wanted to kill Merlin, with three Ultimate Arcane Wizards keeping a strict watch, his chances of killing Merlin was next to nothing.

Thus, he could only retreat for now.

“Alright, I’ll keep my strongest believers in the field. Your Rock Tribe should do the same with your strongest Ancestor-level Rock Creatures. We’ll see how the Atlan civilization will respond.”

The Lord God of Light and the two Rock Progenitors rapidly retreated.

“Running away?”

Merlin turned his gaze to the distance. At this point, his face broke out in a cruel smile. He waved his hand lightly. Instantly, the Rock Creatures and Light Believers under the control of his Mind Power all stepped forward, gathering in a group.

“One after another. There’s no rush!”

Merlin’s eyes turned increasingly icy. Even though he was able to control his emotions well, the Blackfire Lord had died because of him, causing his fury to burn vigorously even now.

“Bang.”

The Lord God of Light and the Rock Tribe’s Progenitors had begun to withdraw but they kept their eyes on Merlin. Presently, they saw that the Rock Creatures and the Light Believers controlled by Merlin were all killing themselves one by one in successive explosions.

For a moment, the Rock Progenitors and the Lord God of Light felt a sense of suffocation, as indescribable rage weighed down their retreating steps.

“Three of you, please withdraw as fast as possible. Merlin is provoking you.”

Once again, the voice of the Atlan civilization’s mysterious “leader” came to them. The Rock Progenitors and the Lord God of Light were all exuding a frightening murderous force. As lofty ultimate existences, they had never wished so intensely to kill someone.

However, Merlin had now succeeded in enraging them. As ultimate existences high above, everyone around them seemed as weak as ants, except for those who were similarly ultimate existences.

Nonetheless, it was the first time they had “properly noticed” Merlin. A method like this was an extreme emotional blow even to an ultimate existence.

At the moment, in the pitch-black Void Zone, Rock Creatures and Light Believers were frantically killing themselves as if it was a competition. They erupted in splatters of bloody mists which wafted through the Void Zone.

Regardless of whether it was the Rock Tribe or the Light God Organization or even the Spell Casters, they were stunned to their very cores at this scene. They had never seen anything like this.

Merlin had controlled over a hundred Rock Creatures and Light Believers. At last, they were all dead – all killed in peculiar, shocking ways, leaving only the warships of the Atlan civilization.

Merlin did not kill the Atlans. After all, these warships needed to be operated by them. This was a great help to the Spell Casters. Faced with Atlans who did not have much fighting power, Spell Casters were able to control them.

“Look, the Rock Tribe and the Light God Organization, even the warships of the Atlan civilization are withdrawing.”

“They are withdrawing. Have we won?”

Many Spell Casters finally noticed that the enemies had started to retreat. They had been prepared for extreme cruelties, and now they seemed to have won after just a short time?

Even so, in such a short period, it had been rather ruthless. The Spell Caster civilization had lost three Legend Squads, five Honored Legends, and the Blackfire Lord.

Compared to the losses of the Rock Tribe, the Light God Organization, and the Atlan civilization, this was nothing at all. Only the Blackfire Lord’s death caused them much regret.

The twenty-right Lords from now on were left with twenty-seven Lords. However, they had Wizard Merlin, who was not a Lord but even better, a noble existence who had tentatively refined the Mind Power system!

In this war, Merlin had reversed their disadvantaged position by himself. Otherwise, how difficult would it have been to counter the attacks of the Atlan civilization?

Nonetheless, Merlin did not let anyone go but waved his hand, advancing with the remaining Atlan civilization warships which he had controlled. However, Merlin soon discovered that the Lord-level existences of the Rock Tribe and the Light God Organization had stayed behind. The empire-level and city-level warship of the Atlan civilization controlled by Merlin were no match for these Lord-level existences.

Furthermore, from behind them, out flew martial art robots. Among them, many were comparable to Honored Legends, manufactured by the Atlan civilization’s dimension-level warship.

Merlin’s Mind Power could not overpower Lord-level existences. Likewise, it could not gain control over martial arts robots which were simply controlled by complex programs.

On the battlefield, the Atlan civilization was far more formidable than the Rock Tribe, the Light God Organization, and even the Spell Caster civilization. They were able to think up of an effective countermeasure in such a short time.

Merlin fell into momentary silence. In the end, he did not continue forward. The other side seemed to have stopped the fight as well. Both sides were in momentary respite, each retreating.

...

The three great Arcane Cities had currently merged. They were originally founded by the three Great Arcane Wizards, so naturally, they were easily united.

Currently, all fighters of the Spell Caster civilization above Legends had gathered here. The three Great Arcane Wizards presided from up high with the twenty-seven Lords right below them.

However, the one who stood out was Merlin. It was the first time an Honored Legend sat among the twenty-seven Lords but no one had objected. Instead, they seemed to treat it as a certainty.

Everyone knew that in the past thousands of years, ever since the Spell Caster civilization set foot in the Void Zone, the first major development had occurred.

“Everyone, from today, I’ll publicize a new cultivation system – the Mind Power system! I’ve finally refined it tentatively after going through various twists of fate. Anyone who’s awakened their Mind Power can cultivate and all Spell Casters can even pick it up! It’s just a shame that Teacher Blackfire, who’s given me so much help, couldn’t live to see this moment...”

Merlin stood in mid-air, his body emanated his grieving emotion, which even spread outward, unwittingly affecting everyone.

Only those above the Lords would not be influenced as much.

“Controlling minds... What a scary Mind Power Master! To think that the Mind Power system, which I thought had no future and would never be developed, is now actually refined. Wizard Merlin is really impressive and amazing. He can lead the Mind Power system to a point where it’s not even inferior to our Spell Caster system!”

Even the Ultimate Arcane Wizards had never imagined that the puny Mind Power system could become so formidable. Furthermore, after this war, having seen the terrifying power of Merlin’s Mind Control with their own eyes, no one would look down upon the Mind Power system.

The Mind Power system was finally born after being refined tentatively by Merlin!

Merlin knew that this was also due to the contributions of the Blackfire Lord, Titus, and even the Purple Emperor. Nonetheless, the birth of the Mind Power system was perhaps what they had hoped for, and it was fulfilled!

“Blackfire’s dream was finally achieved. It’s just a shame he can’t see it for himself...”

Arcane Wizard Setoh’s eyes revealed a subtle, sorrowful look.

“Haha, Wizard Merlin, today you’ve founded the Mind Power system. After some time, it’s bound to be on par with our Spell Caster system. No matter what, the Mind Power system is established by us Spell Casters, and only we Spell Casters can awaken our Mind Power. The birth of the Mind Power system will surely strengthen our Spell Caster civilization!”

Augustus appeared overjoyed. Just as he said, the Mind Power system was not established in opposition to the Spell Caster system but instead, they complemented each other. Those ambitious ones like Merlin could even cultivate both together as they would not affect each other. The only thing that was involved was the Spell Caster’s own energy.

“Wizard Merlin, you’re now an Honored Legend but you’ve not been honored with a title. You became an Honored Legend through a Darkness Maxim and should have been called a Legend of Darkness. I believe everyone now thinks that we can scrap this title. You’ve founded the Mind Power system, so we mustn’t be too sloppy with your title, haha. All the Great Legends are gathered here, how about if we honor you with a fitting title today?”

Augustus’ words were greeted with cries of endorsement by many Legendary Wizards.

Most Honored Legends would have a unique honorific title. Some were honored based on their Maxims, some by a special characteristic. In short, although Merlin had become an Honored Legend, he had never possessed an “honorific title” belonging to him alone.

Merlin wore a knowing smile. He knew that Augustus was helping him to establish a position with all of the Legendary Wizards gathered to honor an Honored Legend with a “title”. It was not just Great Lords but even the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards, who had never enjoyed a treatment like this.

This would immediately establish Merlin’s position in the entire Spell Caster civilization. In other words, he was placed above most Lords.
