Chapter 1021: Will of the World!

Cracks appeared all over the Candora Magic Mirror. Furthermore, they were spreading rapidly. Although the Candora Magic Mirror was constructed from very unique materials, how could it withstand Merlin’s power?

Therefore, with Merlin’s additional push, the entire Candora Magic Mirror shattered into smithereens.

“Crack.”

The Candora Magic Mirror was finally broken. Merlin’s eyes focused keenly. At the same time, a spine-tingling almighty beast’s will surged into the air. Although this will consisted of just a single strand, Merlin could sense that the hundreds and thousands of almighty beasts’ will it had merged before this stood no chance against it. This strand of will reigned supreme, far above any almighty beast’s will!

“Leaving?”

Merlin was already prepared that the moment the mirror was smashed, this will would escape. Therefore, he quickly mobilized his Awareness and devoured this strand of will.

Nonetheless, simply devouring the will was still a distance away from merging it.

Suddenly, this strand of will appeared in Merlin’s Awareness. The initially calm Awareness immediately tumbled into a chaotic frenzy. Even the hundreds and thousands of almighty beasts’ will which Merlin had previously merged were trembling feebly as if they were fearful of this strand of will.

Merlin took a deep breath. He had already anticipated these changes. Merlin could sense, albeit faintly, the will of the Almighty Beast World’s origin from this strand of will!

In the beginning, when Merlin had just arrived in the Almighty Beast World, he was hunted by the entire Almighty Beast World’s will. Merlin still remembered that particular sensation. Therefore, Merlin was very familiar with the Almighty Beast World’s will.

This was the Almighty Beast World’s will!

No matter how powerful or how many almighty beasts’ will there were, faced with the will of the Almighty Beast World’s origin, they would certainly tremble in fear.

Merlin, on the other hand, was incredibly excited because this confirmed his speculation that the sacred beasts were inseparable from the Almighty Beast World’s will. Furthermore, Merlin was ecstatic that the Almighty Beast World’s will was completely disconnected. Thus, there was hope for him to swallow it.

The will of a world. If any living creature in this world tried to swallow and merge it, that would be a fool’s errand. For those who were born in this world, the will would still possess the utmost supremacy regardless of how weak the will was.

Hence, regardless of how weak the will was, it could not be consumed by living creatures. Perhaps, the sacred beasts were specially bestowed the world’s will or perhaps, this was a unique trait of this world.

Merlin was certainly not a living creature born in this world. Although his current body belonged to a creature of this world, his Awareness held the Illusory World.

The Illusory World was not a product of this world. On the contrary, the Illusory World was very dangerous because it had given birth to the natural order, which could destroy this world’s will.

“Let’s see, if I devour a Latitude Cosmos’ will, what will happen to the Illusory World?”

A crazy and bold idea appeared in Merlin’s mind. He was going to devour the will of the Almighty Beast World’s origin. This was truly outrageous because a Latitude Cosmos’ will was a unified body and could not be pulled apart. In the Void Zone where Merlin came from, its will was completely undetachable. A world’s will possessed immense power, just like Merlin’s Illusory World. Although the Void Zone could not destroy the Illusory World, it could expel Merlin from the Void Zone.

Back then, Merlin did not have the chance to devour the Void Zone’s will. However, when he entered the Almighty Beast World, for some reason, the Almighty Beast World’s will was scattered.

Especially, the ancient history of this world consisted of many sacred beasts. This meant that the Almighty Beast World’s will had been divided into many parts. It was not surprising that despite how weak Merlin was, he was not killed by the Almighty Beast World’s will as the will of its origin had been scattered.

Nevertheless, this presented Merlin with an opportunity!

Merlin would only find out the consequences of devouring a Latitude Cosmos’ will after he had tried it. For this purpose, Merlin had waited far too long.

Subsequently, Merlin took a deep breath. The Illusory World in his Awareness suddenly expanded and transformed into bright halos that encircled the strand of will.

Upon sensing the abnormality of the Illusory World, this world’s will released a huge surge of power that rocked the Awareness.

“Boom.”

Merlin’s Awareness shook incessantly and his face turned slightly pale. Nonetheless, sensing the continuous struggle of this single strand of will brought a smile to Merlin’s lips. This meant that the Illusory World posed a real threat to the world’s will.

“Devour!”

Following Merlin’s growl, the Illusory World turned into a black hole that devoured the world’s will. However, this strand of will would not give up without a fight. After all, it was a world’s will. A Latitude Cosmos’ will could not be smothered so easily.

“Crack.”

As soon as this strand of will entered the Illusory World, the extremely sturdy barriers of the Illusory World seemed unable to withstand the onslaught. Cracks began to appear on the barrier as if it would crumble at any moment.

“Smother!”

Merlin took a deep breath. He knew that at this moment, he could not allow the world’s will to continue to wreak havoc. Therefore, he mobilized the Illusory World’s natural order.

This was a genuine world’s natural order. Although only a smidgen of natural order was left, its basic structure remained intact. Thus, it was much stronger than this strand of Almighty Beast World’s will. Thus, Merlin had to rely on his natural order to smother the Latitude Cosmos’ will.

“Boom.”

Suddenly, an inconceivable mountain appeared from within the Illusory World’s natural order and smashed violently onto that strand of Almighty Beast World’s will.

The Almighty Beast World’s will struggled with all its might but in the face of a powerful natural order, it could not put up any resistance and collapsed. Then, it transformed into a strange force that merged with Merlin’s Illusory World.

“Rumble.”

Without any warning, Merlin’s Illusory World began to expand rapidly. Compared to the time when he was slowly improving his physical condition, this expansion was a hundred times faster.

Besides that, the Illusory World’s barriers were also strengthening. Most importantly, the world’s natural order, which had been recovering at a snail’s pace, suddenly recovered at a faster pace.

At the same time, Merlin did not know if it was a delusion but he felt as though the Illusory World had a tangible presence. This was purely his intuition. As the keeper of the Illusory World, he was highly sensitive to even the tiniest change in the Illusory World. Hence, he had this prickling feeling.

“It’s becoming tangible? So, the Illusory World can be transformed from illusion to reality by devouring a Latitude Cosmos’ will?”

An idea popped into Merlin’s mind. This particular idea roused a wave of excitement in him.

“The Almighty Beast World’s will… Now, only the Almighty Beast World’s will can help me progress! Even if my intuition is wrong, this world’s will still have a tremendous effect on the recovery of the Illusory World. I must find more and bigger Almighty Beast World’s will”.

A clear path gradually took shape in Merlin’s heart. He did not care about becoming a sacred beast but the Almighty Beast World’s will which was contained in the sacred beasts could help speed up the recovery of the Illusory World. Therefore, he would have to launch a large-scale search for the sacred beasts’ will.

As for directly provoking the Almighty Beast World’s will, presently, Merlin still did not have sufficient strength. Although the Almighty Beast World’s will was scattered, it could easily quash Merlin, who was yet to recover one ten-thousandth of his power.

Thus, Merlin’s option was limited to searching for weak, scattered strands of the world’s will, which he could safely devour to restore the Illusory World. He would have to wait at least until the Illusory World was completely recovered or even stronger.

However, he needed to start searching for scattered sacred beasts’ will. Just the first step was remarkably difficult because besides the Candora Magic Mirror, Merlin had never heard of any place which kept a sacred beast’s will.
