She claimed he was someone called “the Destroyer”.
Although most people there couldn’t understand what it meant, there was no mistake about it: the Valkyrie and the Fate Sorceress were fighting.
The eyes of the Divine Servants from the Astral Sea shone!
They regained some of their hope.
The son of Anuba Grant was quite incredible. Without Eve restraining him with her Holy Swords, he would be the most powerful contender for the Fate Tablet.
On the top floor of the Sky Tower, everyone watched as he held off Ivan and the Sea Elven Queen, apparently effortlessly.
With his carefree appearance, he was probably not even going all-out!
Then again, he had just agreed to help Eve with one thing and not necessarily do anything too drastic.
Seeing this, most of the Divine Servants drew similar conclusions.
The son of the God of Dawn and Protection was definitely waiting for an opportunity to make a decisive move.
With Marvin crippled, it might be difficult for the Copper Dragon to protect him on his own!
The battle between Jessica and Eve might have just started, but it was already full-blown!
The seven-colored Fate Power was clashing with the Holy Swords as Jessica herself was in a fierce melee with Eve.
The strength of the two of them had reached a very frightening stage.
Eve wanted to press closer to Marvin.
But Jessica wouldn’t allow her to.
Their fight was very rough and simple, almost like a brawl!
Still, many were terrified when they saw the extent of their power!
Whether it was the Valkyrie’s Holy Swords or Jessica’s fists, if they were the ones receiving those, they wouldn’t be able to handle it!
This was the power of the ones chosen by the Plane Will.
Unfortunately, although Jessica gave her utmost, she was still unable to take Eve down.
So while they were occupied, the restless stragglers finally made a move.
Given that there was only one left guarding Marvin, they glanced at each other and tacitly decided to make a move!
In an instant, Professor faced the attacks of more than 40 Legends!
Endless Divine Power fell down from the sky, along with sword shadows and sneak attacks hidden between the cracks.
The goal of these people was very simple: killing Marvin!
The Copper Dragon angrily raised his wings, and a dark red storm was suddenly whipped up in the area around his body!
The storm frantically whirled around him and deflected most of the Divine Spells and offensive attacks!
The entire top floor of the Sky Tower fell into chaos.
A startled shout came out from someone who got struck by his own spell bouncing back!
[Counter Storm]!
A fierce Dragon Spell.
But the consumption of stamina and Magic Power was very high, too.
The dark red storm persisted for about another minute before stopping.
The Copper Dragon, who had just used a lot of energy when he spat out the Lava Breath earlier, seemed a bit smaller now.
His eyes became even less lively.
And there was also a fresh wound at the base of his wing!
Counter Storm couldn’t stop everything.
He panted, continuing to shield the Devil Magic Egg under his stomach.
The large Dragon’s eyes carefully watched the rest as he roared with a thunderous voice, “Don’t even think of killing Marvin today!”
“I might not be able to kill all of you, but I’ll definitely not show any mercy to anyone that dares to attack!”
The Copper Dragon was utterly enraged.
Professor had always had a calm and gentle personality. He liked Humans, he liked to interact with them.
And among these Humans, he had always believed that Marvin was worth trusting.
Ever since he took the initiative to train in the Mirror World, and also in the later trip to the Dragon Temple, everything proved that.
This youth had the heart of a hero.
There was no doubt about this.
Professor was at ease knowing the Fate Tablet was in Marvin’s hands.
Today’s events had been going so well.
Relying on his remarkable abilities, Marvin had successfully grasped the Fate Tablet.
And with Feinan’s group being so formidable, forming an alliance to hold off the outsiders wouldn’t be an issue.
This all would have set up a good foundation for getting ready to deal with what would happen a month hence.
But the falling out with Eve destroyed everything.
Professor had a good relationship with Eve, and he knew she wasn’t greedy.
As the inheritor of the will of the Valkyrie, Eve had very firm willpower, and she also took it upon herself to be one of the heroes that would guard Feinan from any threats.
The only thing that would be able to make her change her mind would be something related to the Valkyrie’s will.
A flicker of doubt appeared in the Copper Dragon’s angry eyes. The Valkyrie had left for so many years, and despite the matter of the Destroyer being in the minds of these long-lived lifeforms, it had never manifested. Now, Eve concluded that Marvin was the Destroyer, which must have had something to do with what the Valkyrie had known. But even if the Valkyrie was outstandingly powerful, could she really see what would happen after so many years?
Marvin was the one chosen by Lance, after all.
This was something Professor learnt after communicating with the Water Elemental Sovereign. After Butterfly awakened, his strength took a great leap forward, and because of this, he gained access to the world’s biggest secret.
The game between Lance and Feinan’s Plane Will.
Could it be that Lance really wanted to destroy this world?
And that Marvin was the one he had chosen to do it?
Only this conclusion could explain Eve’s actions.
But the Copper Dragon didn’t have time to think all this through.
Counter Storm hadn’t bought him much time.
The enemies would take this opportunity to swarm around once more.
Although the Divine Spells weren’t powerful, there were a lot of them.
At this time, Professor regretted that Kangen had left to settle things outside.
With the strength of the Blade Master, there would be no issue holding off and perhaps slaughtering these Divine Servants.
But it was normal for that old friend to not want to stay in this sacred location for Wizards.
There was still that matter gnawing at his mind, after all.
Professor’s gaze became resolute.
Regardless of whether Marvin was the Destroyer, the Fate Tablet couldn’t end up in the hands of these people.
Whether it was Feinan’s other Legends, or the Divine Servants, or the other forces of the Universe.
If the Fate Tablet landed in their hands, it would lead to another round of terror and destruction.
The owner of the Tablet would turn into a New God, and probably become like them too.
When that time came, the fate of everyone else in Feinan would be decided.
The Era of Gods would be unstoppable then.
Professor didn’t like this, so he resolved himself to use a sacrificial taboo spell to stop all this.
But at that time, something under his belly stirred restlessly.
He subconsciously used his wings to brush aside those few scattered Divine Spells that were still falling down.
Everyone was abruptly shocked when they saw the Devil Magic Egg transform.
Four limbs, followed by a head, and ultimately, a complete Human shape appeared.
Marvin raised his head and both reached at his waist, drawing Sodom’s Blades, which let out a thick killing intent.
The corner of his mouth was raised in a devilish smile:
“You want to kill me?”

Marvin’s calm voice echoed through the top floor of the Sky Tower.
Those powerhouses, who had been preparing Divine Spells or waving their swords while preparing to charge, suddenly froze.
Time seemed to stand still.
Marvin walked out from the protection of the Copper Dragon.
His gaze was as cold as ever. “Still want to kill me now?”
No one dared to answer!
The people surrounding the Copper Dragon were in a state of near-collapse!
They had all attacked because they had felt so sure of one thing: Marvin was seriously hurt, so this was the best time to attack!
But when an apparently healthy Marvin stood before them, the scene of him going against the World Ending Twin Snakes appeared in their minds.
Some of them even started to subconsciously and slowly back away in fright!
Because Marvin had already activated his advanced False Divine Vessel as he spoke.
The Slaughter Domain flooded the whole area.
That killing intent was almost visibly marking those who had tried to take advantage of the situation.
A strange light flickered in the eyes of the Copper Dragon, but he didn’t say anything.
Marvin stood with a cold glare, and that ice cold gaze made them feel like they were frozen before the most ruthless viper.
Someone retreated.
It triggered a chain reaction.
‘It’s finished,’ they all thought.
Marvin must have been using some mysterious ability to repair his body. Or maybe it was his shapeshifting itself that did it.
Whatever the case, his weak state was already a thing of the past, and this frightening avatar of death had already recovered.
If they really tried to press on at this time, few of them, if any, would be able to leave unscathed.
The Gods had already instructed them that they should avoid conflict with Marvin if he seemed to be at full strength.
And the fight against the Molten Archdevil had already proved that Marvin had the strength of a Half-Plane Guardian.
From what the Gods could assess, even if the current Marvin really had the power of a Plane Guardian and they might beat him if all the forces teamed up against him, it would still be very difficult to kill him.
And now, Marvin seemed to have somehow completely recovered.
If Kangen returned, the situation would become even more one-sided.
Although Eve and Holy Paul were troublesome, the former was at most able to hold even with Jessica while the latter didn’t seem to be showing any killing intent toward Marvin. Nor did he show any temptation towards the Fate Tablet, which was somewhat odd.
If the son of the God of Dawn and Protection stood down, Marvin’s strength would be enough to kill most of his opponents here!
Moreover, he now had the Fate Tablet. Who knew whether his strength improved even further?! Perhaps his sudden recovery had been aided by its powers!
…
Seeing everyone lowering their heads, Marvin inwardly let out a sigh of relief.
He was the perfect example of a weak person bluffing his way out with false bravado.
On the surface, it looked like he had recovered his full strength at the level of a Half-Plane Guardian, but in reality, he could barely fight right now!
While in the Devil Magic Egg state, his body truly did recover at a high speed, but the damage caused by the World Ending Twin Snakes had been too severe.
It wasn’t that easy to recover from a near-death state.
He still needed more time.
But when he became aware of the situation in the hall, he discovered that he didn’t have that time!
Marvin had to step out and do what he could to help Professor, who was risking his life to protect him.
Although the defenses of the Magic Egg were very tough, some of those from the Astral Sea had spells tailored against lifeforms from Hell.
If they actually went all-out to attack him, he might really have no way to survive.
Thus, he could only take a gamble.
He dismissed his Magic Addict Shape before its effective duration had elapsed, and then tried to intimidate all the others into backing off.
And it seemed like his bluff was effective.
Most people retreated because they couldn’t see through Marvin’s real state.
However, a leisurely voice came out at this time. “Nice guts, you didn’t completely recover but you still removed the Magic Addict Shape.”
“Eh? You have a False Divine Vessel in your body? You are really a shocking man. If not for the Fate Tablet being too dazzling, I almost wouldn’t have noticed it.”
“And it seems like the Fate Tablet already fused with your false Divine Vessel. It’s unfortunate that you don’t have the key. If you could actually harness its power, you would have truly profited.”
“But still, I admire your courage. Not everyone would be able to scare away so many powerful beings when weakened to the point of barely being able to fight.”
The Son of Anuba Grant laughed loudly while skillfully blocking the attacks from the pair of Elves and simultaneously giving Marvin a thumbs up.
In Marvin’s eyes, his smile looked quite malicious!
Because with just those words, he managed to reverse the situation in the hall once more.
Those powerhouses who originally thought of escaping took a closer look at Marvin.
But this time, killing intent had risen up again.
“So he was only bluffing! Why didn’t I notice that he wasn’t projecting any strength!”
“Yes, I also felt he didn’t have any power, he is a pure mortal.”
“I thought he was deliberately hiding his aura so we wouldn’t know exactly how much power he had. Thinking about it now, after the fight against the World Ending Twin Snakes, how could he still have the power to hide his aura?”
They all sneered as they recovered their courage.
Marvin shook his head helplessly.
He looked at the son of the God of Dawn and Protection and threatened, “If I survive this, I’ll definitely kill you.”
Holy Paul coughed and pointed at Eve. “Don’t take your anger out on me, I’m only a hired goon. She is the one who wants to kill you.”
Eve’s eyebrows shook, but she didn’t react as she was still entangled with Jessica.
Marvin snorted.
Although he looked calm on the surface, deep within his heart, he was already on the verge of despair.
Facing the attacks of so many Divine Servants, he had no way out. He needed help.
Eve and Holy Paul… If Marvin had the opportunity, he would never let them live!
Regardless of their reasons or difficulties!
‘Heiress of the Valkyrie?’ Marvin squinted his eyes.
She had tried to kill him now, so he wouldn’t care about pretextes and reasons.
‘As long as I can survive!’ Marvin inwardly pledged.
He looked at those malicious Divine Servants with disdain in their eyes.
If he was really about to die, he wouldn’t mind using Diross’ Imprint.
Although he instinctively felt that the Imprint Diross left was nothing good, he couldn’t manage things on his own this time.
In any case, he would at least take them down with him.
The Copper Dragon raised his head, wrapping his wings over, trying to protect Marvin once again.
Divine light flickered in the hall, formed by countless Divine Spells gathering their energy.
The pressure in the atmosphere was stifling.
At this time, a young voice suddenly echoed across the whole floor:
“Those who want to kill my brother will die!”
It was followed by a frightening Arcane Energy billowing through the hall!

Chapter 702: Inheritor
Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance
When he heard that voice, Marvin initially felt overjoyed, before suddenly worrying!
‘Wayne woke up!’
This was naturally good news.
But waking up in this unfavorable situation wouldn’t be good for him!
And to the others, it was baffling.
A small boy suddenly appeared, floating above the hall.
The boy looked like he was about twelve years old, but he clearly had the strength of a Legend Wizard at the very least!
Those with sharp eyes recognized that he was the boy Marvin had been looking for outside the Sky Tower!
He was actually Marvin’s younger brother!
‘Were these brothers freaks?’
A teen that was only sixteen years old already had the power of a Half-Plane Guardian.
And the other one was even more ridiculous!
Twelve and already a Legend Wizard!
Moreover, such pure Arcane energy was unheard of!
That frightening Arcane energy already inundated the hall, stirring restlessly.
The atmosphere in the hall felt as if a wild beast was grinding its teeth, ready to pounce anytime to bite an enemy to death!
But a Legend Wizard appearing out of nowhere couldn’t change the situation anyway.
A Legend Wizard was indeed troublesome.
But the current situation wasn’t something that a single Legend Wizard could settle.
Marvin needed at least an ally on the level of a Half-Plane Guardian to be able to help him turn the situation around!
Although that small boy was very gifted, he definitely couldn’t be a Half-Plane Guardian Wizard yet!
The Arcane Energy on his body was pure, but that was all.
Perhaps he might become a very shocking figure some day in the future, but he certainly not now.
“We all want to kill your brother, can you kill us all?” sneered Connor. “If you want to keep the bloodline of White River Valley alive, then tell Marvin to obediently fork over the Fate Tablet.”
“If he does that, we might spare you!”
Marvin didn’t say anything.
He trusted Wayne.
Others might not know, but Wayne was the real prodigy.
A Seer and the Inheritor of the Wizard God.
