Chapter 841: The Ultimate Weapon ll

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Things remained calm on the hopeship. Regardless of how fierce the ongoing battle between the black cat Didimoss and the seemingly endless warships was, the peace and tranquility on the hopeship remained unaffected.

Up till now, even though Merlin had entered the hopeship, he had not gone into an all-out massacre, simply because it was unnecessary. His Illusory World was capable of beguiling everyone into an illusion or have their minds seized.

The only exception was the Senate who held the highest authority!

However, that would soon change as their whereabouts were practically in Merlin’s grasp, and he knew that they were hidden in the crystal wall.

“Whoosh.”

A breeze wisped by, and Merlin arrived before the crystal wall. The giant crystal wall appeared glittered and translucent, almost as if it was bigger than the dimension-level warship.

Dense words of a unique kind cluttered the crystal wall – words belonging to the Vestigial Tribe that could not even be understood by Merlin but perhaps Roman would be able to decipher them.

The words on the crystal wall should be knowledge left behind by the Vestigial Tribe that had enabled the Atlan civilization to develop at a drastic pace, so much so that it was even able to invade other civilizations.

Merlin took a deep breath, and the Flame Maxim on his body turned into a giant fireball.

“Go!”

Merlin pointed with a finger, and the giant fireball charged toward the translucent crystal wall. Although the wall was engraved with the dense knowledge and information of the Vestigial Tribe, almost enough to guide an entire civilization to develop into one comparable to that of the Void Zone, for Merlin, this was the root of disaster. If it was destroyed, then so be it, there was no reason to be sorry.

Ever since entering the Atlan Dimension, Merlin had gained a deeper understanding of the Atlan civilization. In the past, several intelligent civilizations had been born in the Atlan Dimension as well.

However, these intelligent civilizations had either never discovered the crystal wall or they had but had never thoroughly researched it and therefore had, for various reasons and causes, perished in the end.

Countless years later, when the Atlans were born, it was as if they had been blessed by the Vestigial Tribe, and was able to discover the knowledge and information left behind by them.

With this knowledge, the Atlan civilization had achieved unprecedented development until the time came when they had discovered the crystal wall. The Atlan civilization had been advancing at a tremendous pace, and even claimed themselves to be the descendants of the Vestigial Tribe.

However, the Atlan civilization were no descendants of the Vestigial Tribe. They were merely one of the countless intelligent tribes that were born from the dimensions left behind by the Vestigial Tribe. The only fortunate thing was that they had received and absorbed the plentiful knowledge of the Vestigial Tribe and their pace of development chased closely behind the Vestigial Tribe’s that had once swept across the entire Void Zone.

“Boom.”

The giant fireball was forged from Merlin’s ultimate Flame Maxim, and while the Atlan Dimension was able to block off the power of the natural order, it had little effect over the Maxim. The full display of Merlin’s ultimate Maxim extended far beyond a little wall but even a dimension could be destroyed by it easily.

This was the source of the disaster. Without the crystal wall, even if the Atlan civilization was able to rebuild itself again, it would never be able to reach the decree in which the Vestigial Tribe had once been able to.

The powerful fireball blasted right onto the clear crystal wall but it did not shatter and fall apart as Merlin had imagined. Instead, a mysterious force, similar to the one that had enveloped the hopeship, had rendered Merlin’s ultimate Maxim powerless and nonexistent.

“This mysterious force again? It seems that the Vestigial Tribe had indeed thoroughly secured and fortified this crystal wall. If it can’t be destroyed, then I’ll go in!”

Merlin had gotten the grasp of it. With the Black Star Armor in his possession, the light veils left behind by the Vestigial Tribe would automatically recognize it and would not stop Merlin from entering.

Thus, Merlin transformed into a black dot, and with the Black Star Armor, he once again flew toward the crystal wall.

“Hum.”

In a flash of light, his figure disappeared.

...

“He’s here, the foreign tribes have entered the crystal wall. If we don’t make a decision now, it’ll be too late...”

In the crystal wall on a staunch, sturdy warship, the Senators from the Senate were currently faced with the most difficult choice. In their hands, they held possession of the ultimate weapon yet they were unable to reach a consensus as their opinions could not be unified.

Everyone knew that once the ultimate weapon was activated, they may stand a chance to resolve the current crisis faced by the Atlan civilization. At the same time, it could ultimately destroy the Atlan civilization as well.

“Let’s decide. There’s no time. Even if the ultimate weapon would destroy the Atlan civilization, there’s still a chance of survival. However, if we let this foreign tribe enter and seize us, then we, the Atlan civilization, will not even stand a chance. That’s why I agree to activate the ultimate weapon.”

One of the Senators took the lead and voiced his opinion. He had been one of the most vocal in his objections against activating the ultimate weapon.

After the Senator’s statement, the other Senators soon followed. At the critical moment between the survival and fall of the civilization, the Senators had made their decisions.

“I agree to activate the ultimate weapon.”

“I concur...”

Almost every one of the Senators had agreed to activate the ultimate weapon as this was their last chance.

“Alright, since everyone agrees to activate the ultimate weapon, then authorize access.”

Each of the nine Senators held a share of access to the crystal wall to activate the ultimate weapon. The Senators nodded as they stood before the crystal wall. Suddenly, the translucent crystal wall began to vibrate, and then, a giant crack appeared, just like a passage.

After having studied the crystal wall for such a long time, the Atlan civilization had, at the very least, gained partial access to it and was able to control some parts of the crystal wall temporarily.

“Rumble.”

As the crystal wall continued to tremble, a series of rumbling resounded as a giant passage was revealed.

The expressions of the nine Senators were heavy and stern as they peered inside the passage. It was a space of majestic splendor, majestic as if one stood in the center of the galaxy.

This was a specially designated space created by the Vestigial Tribe which housed a total of thirty pieces of Black Star Armors and hundreds of Gray Light Armors. However, the Senators paid no heed to any of these. Instead, their gazes were locked on only the object that lied in the very center of the galaxy world.

There, a matchless, transcendent piece exuding a brilliant light as if illuminating the entire galaxy like rays of golden light, sending convulsions to one’s soul.

“The ultimate weapon – the Golden Ray Armor!”

This was the greatest asset of the former Vestigial Tribe that had once dominated the entire Void Zone. Their most powerful and most formidable weapon – the Golden Ray Armor that was commensurate to the Thirty-six Emperors!

The numbers of the Golden Ray Armors were extremely rare even during the Vestigial Tribe’s era. The ability to turn the ever weak and powerless Vestigial Tribe, once it was equipped, into a force that was worthy of comparison to the ultimate existences, was unfathomable even to the Thirty-six Emperors.

The ultimate weapons of the Vestigial Tribe were the three armors – the Golden Ray Armor, the Black Star Armor, and the Gray Light Armor. These were their greatest achievements, and it was these three types of armors that enabled the Vestigial Tribe to dominate the entire Void Zone and conquer millions of foreign tribes and civilizations.

The Golden Ray Armor was the ultimate existence of the ultimate weapons!

“The ultimate weapon, the Golden Ray Armor. Senators, when we first discovered the Golden Ray Armor, how the excitement thrilled and soared within us? Even after so many years, we have yet to see the slightest hope of making a breakthrough in the Golden Ray Armor...”

The Senators turned silent. Anyone who laid eyes on the Golden Ray Armor would be ablaze with excitement. However, for so many years, the Atlan civilization had failed to crack the mystery of the Black Star Armor and the Gray Light Armor, let alone the Golden Ray Armor.

They had only been able to recreate some based on the model of the Gray Light Armor but it was miles away from the real thing.

“Without the Brain of Life, no one would be able to activate the Golden Ray Amor. However, when we first discovered the Golden Ray Armor, there was something peculiar inside it. There was a program inside that once activated, may be able to trigger the armor to activate itself. This is likely to be a strategy left behind by the Vestigial Tribe, how terrifying. Even we cannot be sure of the purpose they had intended when they left behind this program. Nevertheless, we can be certain that it will never be something so simplistic.”

The Golden Ray Amor was powerful enough to incite fear among these Senators. A Golden Ray Warrior could easily annihilate the entire Atlan civilization. As such, when they had learned that there was a strange program in the Golden Ray Armor, they had made the vigilant decision and did not immediately activate it.

The temptation of the unknown meant risks and dangers, and could even bring about the demise of the entire Atlan civilization. However, now, the Senators had been left with no other options. In the face of Merlin pressing on at every stage and getting closer, even if it was dangerous, they could only activate the Golden Ray Armor.

“Activate it.”

A Senator took a deep breath, and slowly approached the Golden Ray Armor. Then, he took out a chip, first discovered by the Atlans to be in the program of the Golden Ray Armor.

However, all these years and none were able to decipher the program, and thus, it was kept under the care of the Senators. Until now, where it could only be re-inserted back into the Golden Ray Armor.

“Tick.”

The chip was inserted into the only crack on the Golden Ray Armor, and the entire armor appeared whole as a single entity. However, it had yet to activate.

The Senator pressed down firmly on the red start button on a controller on top of the Golden Ray Armor. This was something that had taken the Atlans a great deal of time to figure out that it was the activation button to the Golden Ray Armor. It was able to boot up the program within that chip and reinvigorate the Golden Ray Armor once again.

“Perhaps, the Vestigial Tribe had deliberately left these things behind, intending to let the later ones to awaken the Golden Ray Armor. Who knows what sort of chaos it will bring...”

The Senator retired back to his place as he silently watched a golden light enshroud the body of the Golden Ray Armor.

“Swoosh.”

Suddenly, the closed “eyes” of the Golden Ray Armor abruptly opened, and in the darkness of the space and beneath the leers, it gleamed...
