In this timeline, Marvin’s dazzling performances might have made her feel something wrong, causing her to start taking bolder actions sooner.
Regardless, Dark Phoenix exposing herself earlier was beneficial for Marvin.
Because she could use a Fate Tablet fragment to ascend anytime.
One of the fragments in her hand was [Magic].
Wizard God Lance was a very special God. His title was misleading, because he actually wasn’t a God in charge of Magic. He was Feinan’s most powerful God. But he was named this way because he created the Universe Magic Pool and was worshipped by the Wizards.
But the Wizards and the Wizard God had no “faith” relationship.
This was only a title.
This world still didn’t have a God of Magic.
Although the fragment of Magic was obtained, Dark Phoenix didn’t dare to ascend while the Wizard God was still present.
She chose to bear with it patiently, and she had gotten it right. At the end of the 4th era, the New Gods couldn’t resist attacking the Universe magic Pool.
And the Wizard God had already left this world.
With the Universe Magic Pool collapsing and the world becoming chaotic, it was her best opportunity to ascend.
In the game, she was almost successful.
But she was sneak attacked by a few Gods and failed to ascend, because she would have become one of the most powerful Gods if she succeeded.
The might of Magic was too vast.
Especially since after the Universe Magic Pool’s collapse, the world was filled with Chaos Magic Power.
If she was able to become the God of Magic, Dark Phoenix could definitely control the new era’s Wizards for her own uses.
This was something the New Gods of the 3rd Era were unwilling to see.
They wanted to shatter the Universe Magic Pool but didn’t want Dark Phoenix to reap the benefits of their efforts.
The positions of allies and enemies would often change easily because of different interests.
…
The atmosphere in the living room was awkward.
The Legends were silent.
Although Marvin’s words were right and Hathaway’s identity as a Seer was a fact, Dark Phoenix’s strength was weighing on their minds.
Even after knowing that she might attempt to ascend during the disaster, they still weren’t prepared to deal with a Half-God.
Back then, Marvin had marched into the Decaying Plateau with a complete plan and those Legends were willing to follow him.
Now, facing the deeply hidden Dark Phoenix, even if the Legends had confidence in their abilities, they still wouldn’t dare commit to it easily.
Marvin needed to convince them.
“It needs a reliable plan,” Lorant mentioned cautiously.
This sentence seemed to be questioning Marvin, but in fact, he was helping Marvin. Marvin had saved his children, so he was naturally willing to fight alongside him.
As long as Marvin had a decent plan, he would answer first, and the other Legends would most likely consent.
But they didn’t expect that a lazy voice would immediately echo, “The Night Walkers will fully support Marvin.”
“I did say that I regretted missing last time’s operation and that if another one happened, you had to call me.”
O’Brien displayed a brilliant smile. “Half-Gods, I seem to have killed a few.”
Marvin grinned gratefully at O’Brien.
Not only did this guy have shocking strength, but he also was very honest and would never beat around the bush.
When he found out about the “death” of Marvin, he had entered the glacier alone and almost killed the Azure Matriarch!
It must be known that the Azure Matriarch secret training method was passed onto her by the World Ending Twin Snakes, and the Nine-Headed body was nearly undying. Under such circumstances, despite fighting on her home ground, seven of the Azure Matriarch’s heads were exploded. This guy’s strength was unfathomable and was definitely comparable to Inheim’s, possibly even one whole level higher!
With his backing, Marvin’s mind was calm.
The other Legends were silent for a moment. Shadow Thief Owl said, “I can definitely go save Hathaway, but I’m not too proficient in killing.”
Inheim similarly nodded. He still had misgivings about Marvin’s information. Dark Phoenix led the South Wizard Alliance for many years. If Anthony had been the face of the Alliance, then Dark Phoenix had been the one controlling it from behind.
Such a person, how could she be associated with the filthy Gods of the 3rd Era?
But regardless of that, he would definitely save Hathaway.
The reactions of Shadow Thief Owl and Inheim were well within Marvin’s expectations. He currently had no proof that could convince them.
But as long as they set off to the Black Coral Islands, Marvin could naturally find a way to show them the real Dark Phoenix.
Of the remaining Legends, Lorant was strongly supporting him. Lorant had an excellent friendship with Sky Fury and the two of them announced that they would work together with Marvin.
Such an outcome was more or less what Marvin was going for.
He didn’t intend on having everyone following him because once he was gone, his territory would end up too empty.
In his plan, Constantine and Mother of Creation would remain in White River Valley.
The others went to Sword Harbor that very night and set sail toward the dark waters on a captured pirate ship. Marvin had captured a few pirate ships, and now they came in handy.
Of course, they didn’t go straight to Black Coral Island. In fact, they left for Pirate King Pietrus’ headquarters, Remains Island.
To let the Legends see the truth about Dark Phoenix, Pietrus was the key.
Marvin was certain that after losing the war, Pietrus would return to his headquarters and resume his operations.
As long as they could capture and interrogate him, the doubts in their hearts would disappear and Marvin would obtain more information about Dark Phoenix.
Actually, he wasn’t too sure about Dark Phoenix’s true strength, because that woman didn’t act often in the game.
Every time she acted was in an overpowered matter, and it was related to Gods.
But he looked at the people at his side and felt that they were enough.
Leader of the Night Walkers O’Brien, Great Druid Sky Fury, Holy Spirit Deer Lorant, Legend Monk Inheim, Shadow Thief Owl, Ancient Black Dragon Izaka, himself, and the powerful Night Walkers. Such a Legend Squad was worthy of slaying a God. If there was one regretful thing, it was that they lacked a powerful Legend Wizard.
And it was unfortunate that the Elven Prince Ivan didn’t answer Marvin’s invitation.
After his return to Thousand Leaves Forest, the Great Elven King seemed to have revoked his banishment order, so he had many things to take care of.
This was something Marvin was very regretful about.
If Ivan came, he should have been able to lure the Sea Elven Queen.
He certainly wouldn’t believe that such an outstanding lineup would be unable to deal with Dark Phoenix, who had yet to ascend.
…
The ship was speeding forward on the boundless sea.
Under the direction of a pirate, they entered the dense fog, going toward the northwest.
All the sails were raised and a lively figure was skipping over, cheerfully boosting the winds.
Wind Fairy!
This was the servant Hathaway had gifted Marvin. Marvin hadn’t kept it with him and had let it grow wild on Sword Harbor 1.
The small fairy’s growth was beyond Marvin’s expectations.
It had already reached level 9 and with its innate gifts, it could unceasingly blow gusts of wind, making the ship five times faster.
This was much more powerful than a Wind Wizard trained by the South Wizard Alliance.
But using a Wind Fairy just to sail a ship
was somewhat of a waste.
Marvin would have to find time to learn how to train the Wind Fairy. After all, it also was a lifeform with the potential to reach the Legend realm.
As for his pet, the Three-Headed Hellhound, it was also summoned back by Marvin.
This guy had gone to the southern side of White River Valley, wandering through the wilderness. He was clearing the area of monsters while also swallowing their souls to hasten his recovery, killing two birds with one stone.
Though the monsters on the outer side of the wilderness were powerful, they were still rarely as savage as the Hellhound.
His strength had almost recovered, having reached level 17. Moreover, that conspicuous deformed head seemed to have finished developing, while the two heads on the side had grown once again. He looked extremely fierce but was quite docile in front of Marvin.
This was the power of the contract.
Marvin had a faint feeling that the Hellhound was slightly different now after swallowing the Shadow Prince’s Divinity.
He couldn’t tell the details for sure, but in short, he was very optimistic about the little guy’s development potential.
…
On the deck, several Legends were chatting idly.
Suddenly, the Hellhound began barking furiously!
A wave of emotions flowed through Marvin’s mind.
‘What? An aura of death?’
Marvin was at a loss for a moment. Ahead of them, a sinister outline was approaching continuously!

“Sir Marvin, Remains Island is in sight!” the Captain warned. The captured pirate had been considered Pirate King Pietrus’ trusted aide.
Don’t count on pirates’ loyalty; with some coercion and temptation, the location of Remains Island was disclosed.
And that sinister outline ahead of them was a strange sea canyon.
It was said that this had formed due to the corpse of an Ancient Rock Dragon.
The ship was sailing calmly through the entrance of the passage, which strikingly resembled a bloody mouth.
But what made Marvin uneasy was that the Hellhound had noticed an aura of death!
Something flashed in his mind.
“Stop the ship!” he ordered loudly.
The captain was somewhat stunned, but he immediately carried out Marvin’s order.
The Wind Fairy stopped propelling the wind and the ship slowly came to a stop outside the canyon.
A dense fog was blocking their line of sight.
By that time, it wasn’t only the Hellhound, which was very sensitive toward souls, that had noticed something wrong. The Legends also felt something disturbing!
“It’s the aura of souls, the aura of numerous people that died!”
Sky Fury, as a Great Druid, was most sensitive to spirits and suddenly had that feeling.
He waved his hand and a light green Nature spell instantly took shape.
[Piercing Eye]!
A large green ball condensed at the front of the ship and shone like a lighthouse, piercing through the entire sea canyon.
Green mist then condensed and formed several images.
These images showed what was on the other side.
As everyone looked at those scenes, their expressions changed drastically!
Even that pirate, who had been here many times, was greatly frightened!
How was that Remains Island? It clearly was the Nine Hells!
…
Marvin took a deep breath.
An island shaped like a crescent moon could be seen on the images displayed by the Piercing Eye.
These islands had uncanny cliffs and were surrounded by reefs. They looked like they would be rather easy to defend.
No wonder the Pirate King chose this place as his headquarters.
All of Remains Island only had one road.
But at this moment, the images showed the sight of a purgatory!
Corpses were scattered across the island: on the docks, on floating planks, stuck in ropes, and even on the reefs.
None of the corpses were intact, and all of them had suffered terrible deaths.
Some had their chests opened up, while others had holes in their necks.
In short, every pirate there had died a tragic death.
It was clear that they were the pirates who had been following Pirate King Pietrus.
There were more than two thousand people there!
Yet these thousands were now all corpses. This made everyone feel even colder.
The pirate who was leading the way trembled and fell to the ground.
“How could this be?”
The pirate muttered under his breath, “When we left for battle, the island was still fine…”
He suddenly rejoiced in his heart when seeing the corpses of some of the pirates who escaped.
He was still alive because he had been captured.
And those who escaped to Remains Island had already died unfathomable deaths!
He lowered his head, not daring to look again. This scene was a complete nightmare!
…
On the deck, the Legends wore unsightly expressions.
Sky Fury maintained his Piercing Eye, sweeping around all of Remains Island.
In the end, they found Pirate King Pietrus’ corpse on the dock.
After the Mechanical Titan sank the Pirate King’s ship, he didn’t know what to do in the end.
Still, with his ability, escaping to Remains Island wasn’t an issue. Marvin had decided that they should come straight to Remains Island to look for him.
But now that they found him, this guy was already dead.
He had a spear stabbed through his heart, firmly nailing him on a pillar at the dock.
They could even see the consternation in his eyes as the image shown by Piercing Eye focused.
What did he encounter that made him so shocked?
The atmosphere on the deck was very grave.
Marvin shook his head and said two words: “Dark Phoenix.”
This was the only explanation.
The others might not believe it, but Marvin was already quite certain that this matter was Dark Phoenix’s work.
But for what purpose?
Marvin suddenly had a bad feeling.
He had provoked Dark Phoenix in the open because Hathaway had told him that Dark Phoenix couldn’t harm her life. But it was very unlikely for Hathaway to be able to escape on her own, so she needed Marvin.
But Dark Phoenix’s crazy move here made Marvin worry about Hathaway’s safety.
“Go to Black Coral Islands now!” Marvin ordered.
But before he could say more, a black-gowned silhouette quickly flashed on the Piercing Eye’s image!
“There is someone!” Sky Fury shouted.
That black-gowned figure seemed to sense something. It turned around, but the face couldn’t be seen under a wretched white mask!
The figure waved a hand and a purple lightning instantly destroyed the Piercing Eye!
Only a thick fog remained in front of everyone.
“Damn! This is definitely Dark Phoenix.”
Marvin lost his calm.
Dark Phoenix rarely took action, but when she did, it would always be a huge move.
Killing so many people here definitely wasn’t just to vent!
“Wait here, I’ll go take a look first!”
The next second, Black Dragon Izaka unwillingly flew out at Marvin’s command.
Marvin jumped on the Dragon’s back, and even the Hellhound hopped on. This made Izaka extremely angry, but he had signed a contract with Marvin, so he could only restrain himself.
The Black Dragon immediately spread his wings and broke through the dense fog, flying toward Remains Island!
The other Legends hesitated but decided to follow.
Sky Fury su
mmoned a flock of Great Eagles to carry the Legends who couldn’t fly and they followed Marvin as they charged to Remains Island!
…
The bloody smell on Remains Island was very thick.
The black-gowned person was hovering in the sky, looking coldly at the fog in the distance while muttering, “Found out so quickly? I truly underestimated you, Marvin…”
“That’s fine. These wastes will be taken care of while also giving you a huge gift!”
“I can’t delay my plans because of these guys.”
She began chanting an incantation.
A sickly green radiance appeared on the corpses across Remains Island.
Countless carved runes floated up and ultimately formed a deep green skeletal Dragon head!
“Roar!”
The sound of a Dragon’s roar that seemed to have crossed through countless worlds echoed out.
The black-gowned person smiled. “Long time no see, Tidomas…”

The Dragon’s wings spread open and flapped vigorously.
Peering through the dense fog, Marvin grew increasingly more anxious!
His improved perception from being a Ruler of the Night told him that some terrible change was happening in Remains Island.
It might be too late for him to stop it.
Because this passage was way too strange. To the sides, there were magic arrays that even the Black Dragon was afraid of, and the water surging in the canyon was extremely rough. Even the Black Dragon had to keep his wings close to his body to fly.
He had to fly for no less than two minutes to get through the passage.
When he arrived at Remains Island, the green light filling the air and the dense aura of Evil Spirits already explained everything.
This was all a premeditated sacrifice!
Only a large amount of lives could temporarily interfere with the barrier of the Universe Magic Pool!
Because each life, and especially the life of a Human, had a small amount of Order power. This power of Order was a potent energy that could resonate with the origin of the world. This was also the reason that ancient evil Wizards were fond of sacrificing people.
