After Vosumede’s death, the wizards on Planet Nalun had attained their freedom, and Tomar had become a famous wizard. He spent his life researching magic and achieved a groundbreaking discovery. He left behind a lot of knowledge for the later generation and single handedly raised the Super standard on Planet Nalun to a whole new level.
This was no simple matter. This was akin to someone who had only received high school level mathematics education coming up with university level mathematics proofs.
In truth, many of the heroes of the civilizations were talents who were buried because of the generation that they were born in.
Tomar was such a character as well. His magical talent was extremely outstanding, and he was a rare talent who could only be found once every thousand years. However, he could not grow properly in a backward location, and his talent was wasted as a result.
Thus, Han Xiao’s other objective was to bring Tomar into the army to groom.
Talents were precious, and the more main character level NPCs the better. Regardless of how worthless they were, they could increase the luck of the army.
The location that Lanley gave was a cave hidden in the mountains. One of the altars was located in this location.
The next morning, Han Xiao and the gang set off together with Tomar. In order to match Tomar’s speed, it took them half a day to reach the cave. The sky was already dark by then.
They stood outside the cave, and a chilly wind blew out from within the dark cave as though it was breathing.
Tomar shivered and said, “The demonic spirits will come out at night as their strength increases at night. We should set up camp outside and rest for the night before entering the cave tomorrow at noon.”
“That isn’t necessary.” Han Xiao shook his head. This mission did not pose any difficulty to him, and he walked into the cave with Hila, Aurora, and Feidin. Tomar hesitated for a while before gritting his teeth and following them.
The cave was filled with many winding tunnels with cold winds blowing from within. The deeper they went into the cave, the more obvious the cold aura being emanated from the cave. When they reached the depths of the cave, the demonic spirit aura was not covered in the slightest, and some faint muttering could be heard from time to time in the cave.
Tomar’s head was covered in sweat, and he looked around nervously, afraid that a demonic spirit would jump out and scare him at any moment. He held on tightly to the magical elixir on his waist and was ready to throw it out at any moment. His appearance was completely different from Han Xiao’s group.
“Wh-why don’t we return?” Tomar stammered with his voice trembling. “Although all of you are great wizards, we shouldn’t underestimate our enemy. There are three hundred demonic spirits in this place at the very least, and it would be extremely difficult for you to deal with them…”
Right after he said those words, a strange stone altar appeared in front of him. A few hundred candles were lined up by the altar and burnt with a green flame that seemed inextinguishable.
“This is the place. Let’s quickly destroy the altar and make our retreat!” Tomar said anxiously and was about to throw out his magical elixir.
Right at that moment, a bone piercing chill blew over, and a few hundred figures appeared in the surroundings, glaring at Han Xiao’s group coldly.
They are all demonic spirits…” Tomar’s eyes widened with shock, and his heart skipped a beat.
However, before the fear in his heart could explode, the cold aura in the cave melted away like snow in the sun.
The few hundred demonic spirits were all destroyed without even making a sound. They were all defeated in one hit by Feidin.
Their illusory bodies disappeared, and Tomar’s scream was stuck in his throat.
The scene before him had completely changed his worldview.
Just what happened just now? How did all the demonic spirits disappear?
Is a great wizard really so powerful?
“We just need to destroy this altar, right?” Hila waved her arm, and the altar turned to dust.
A notification of the second phase being completed popped up on Han Xiao’s interface.
The instant that the altar was destroyed, the cave began to tremble.
Boom!
Black fog floated up from the destroyed altar and formed a black whirlpool in midair. A wave of pressure was then emanated from the whirlpool as though a being was about to descend.
Tomar’s hair stood up on end, and he felt as though a ferocious animal was glaring at him. An instinctive feeling of fear rose in his heart.
“It’s the Demonic Spirit King…” Tomar’s voice became hoarse, and he was frightened to the point that he could not move.
The next second, an eerie voice sounded from within the whirlpool and echoed in the cave.
“A few bugs actually dared to destroy my altar? You will pay the price for this!”
Han Xiao and the others watched the Demonic Spirit King’s performance emotionlessly.
“Humph, it is too late to regret. I will eat all your souls and transform all of you into a part of me. All of you shall fall into the depths of… argh!”
Before the Demonic Spirit King could even finish his act, Feidin snorted and shot out his Psychic energy. Like an inflated balloon being punctured, the Demonic Spirit King let out a miserable groan and disappeared.
The black whirlpool floating in midair had disappeared and the shaking of the cave had also become silent. It was as though nothing had happened at all.
“Hey, you didn’t end up killing it, right?” Han Xiao became worried. Would the mission be stopped midway if the Demonic Spirit King died?
“I could have killed it, but it wasn’t necessary.” Feidin rolled his eyes.
You are the one who knows me best.” Han Xiao laughed and slapped Feidin on the back.
Following which, Han Xiao then waved at Tomar, who was rooted to the spot in shock.
“The altar is destroyed. Let’s return.”
Tomar had spent a great amount of effort to shut his opened mouth before jumping back to look at Han Xiao with caution.
“Who exactly are all of you?”
Han Xiao frowned and said, “I said before. We are wizards.”
Tomar had a look of disbelief on his face.
Don’t think you can bluff me because I am uneducated. You lot are definitely not wizards.
Because wizards cannot be so powerful!
He then praised his own wisdom silently.
“Alright then, since we have been discovered, I shall tell you the truth…”
Han Xiao’s eyes spun around, and a teasing look could be seen in his eyes.
“We are actually deities.”
Hila, Aurora, and Feidin almost choked.
Woah, you’re truly shameless!
Tomar had a look of disbelief upon hearing that.
There are actually deities in the world? Could those religions be real? I thought that it was only a scam.
However, it seems like only deities would be able to kill a few hundred demonic spirits in a second.
Tomar could not think of any other explanation. In the face of a ‘deity’, he was completely helpless and did not know what to say.
Han Xiao giggled in his heart while pretending to be solemn on the surface. “I have come for Vosumede. His actions have gone against the laws of nature, and he will be punished.”
Planet Nalun was a backward planet, and it was extremely easy to fool them. It was not the first time that he had tried to act as a deity. He had tried once in front of the Black Spirit Race before. When facing the natives of a backward planet, saying that he was a deity might be more convincing than saying that he was from the universe.
Tomar’s eyes lit up upon hearing those words, and an agitated look could be seen on his face.
Upon seeing that, Han Xiao placed his finger on his lips and said with a smile, “But I hope that you can help keep this secret. It is best that only you know the
truth that I am a deity.”
It will be time to kidnap you when the mission is complete.
“Okay, okay.” Tomar nodded like an obedient child.
He originally wanted to inform everyone at the gathering point about the truth, but since the ‘deity’ had personally requested for him to keep silent about it, he must have his reasons. Thus, he decided to hide this truth in his heart.
Upon thinking about the fact that he was the only one who knew that the four individuals before him were deities, Tomar felt extremely agitated.
Chapter 742 - One Cannon Is Enough
After getting rid of the first altar, they spent a night outside before returning to the gathering point in Stone Heart City.
After finding out about the successful mission, Lanley was extremely surprised.
“All of you succeeded so quickly?”
He has been leading the gathering point in Stone Heart City for many years already and had always been wary of the demonic spirit army near the altar. Due to the lack of manpower, he did not dare act too rashly. He had originally thought that Han Xiao and his group would need eight to ten days to slowly clear up the demonic spirits near the altar. However, Han Xiao’s efficiency had truly surprised him.
That was especially so after realizing that there were no injuries in the group, and only Tomar looked as though he did not have a good sleep. Lanley was extremely curious about the details of their operation.
“I remember that there should be a few hundred demonic spirits. How did all of you accomplish this?”
“It’s like this…” Tomar swallowed a mouthful of saliva and began to explain.
When they set up camp outside last night, Feidin had given Tomar a subtle mental hint together with the ‘divine miracles’ that Han Xiao had gotten Aurora to perform. Tomar had completely believed that Han Xiao’s group of four were deities.
He was the only one who knew the truth about the ‘deities’, and Tomar was agitated to the point he could not sleep. In order to hide the identity of the ‘deities’, he had spent a full night thinking of an appropriate excuse to report to Lanley today.
As he gave his ‘explanation’, Tomar was extremely anxious that Lanley would spot a flaw.
He did not understand why the ‘deities’ wanted to hide their identities, but he did not dare gamble. He was afraid that the ‘deities’ would choose to leave if their identities were exposed. This would result in the gathering point losing such great support.
Upon seeing the broken fragments of the altar, Lanley did not have any other doubts, and after expressing his gratitude to Han Xiao, he left hastily to contact the leaders of the other gathering points.
“I managed to hide it…” Tomar heaved a sigh of relief.
“Good job.” Han Xiao nodded.
Tomar was extremely reserved in front of Han Xiao. Although Han Xiao’s group of four seemed extremely approachable and were not aloof like in the religious records, Tomar still felt immense pressure. He then said, “Your Excellencies, I have a question that I don’t know if I should ask.”
“Speak.”
“Actually, I have been curious since last night…” Tomar stammered. “The deities in the religious records all have their own names and authority. I wonder if… cough cough, I don’t know if it is rude for me to ask this. If it is, I hope that you can accept my apology…”
In truth, he wanted to ask if Han Xiao’s group of four were the deities in the legends that he had heard.
“Names…” Han Xiao stroked his chin before saying with a smile, “This isn’t a secret. My divine name is Black Star.”
Black Star?
Tomar had a look of confusion. He had never heard of such a deity in all the stories he heard.
Han Xiao then pointed at Hila and Aurora. “They are the deities of death and life.”
Hila had a speechless look on her face and could only allow Han Xiao to joke as he wished.
“As for him…” Han Xiao turned around and looked at Feidin who had an expectant look on his face. After letting out a light cough, he joked, “He is the deity of luck. Let me remind you about something, he is both male and female in one body and doesn’t have a gender.”
Must you really emphasize my gender… Feidin had a look of resignation on his face.
Tomar engraved the names into his heart and immediately expressed his loyalty. “I will spread all of your names and allow the world to know who the real deities are. I will spread your glory in this land.”
“We can talk about this in the future.”
Han Xiao tried his best to stifle his laughter. When Tomar entered the universe, this would definitely be his dark past.
After completing the second phase of the mission and gaining the trust of the gathering point, the gathering point began to treat the four ‘great wizards’ with much importance. In the following days, the gathering point gave many tasks to the four of them as part of the mission.
With his overwhelming strength and galactic technology, Han Xiao completed the missions with incredible efficiency. Some of the missions included destroying the other two altars, clearing up demonic spirits in many different cities, killing some of Vosumede’s henchmen, collecting rare materials, and so on.
The use of a spaceship greatly reduced their travelling time, and Han Xiao was able to easily find the rare materials by scanning the entire continent with his devices. He only needed half a month to solve the problem that had been troubling the gathering point for fifty years.
The entire gathering point was shocked by Han Xiao’s divine efficiency, which was almost like a miracle. Tomar bitterly tried to hide the ‘truth’ and did not expose the identities of the ‘deities’.
However, the result of Han Xiao’s efficiency was the suspicion of the upper echelons in the gathering point. There were some who felt that the four of them were far too successful and might be spies sent by Vosumede. Vosumede might intend to lure them all out to catch them in one fell swoop.
Wulis was the current leader of all the gathering points, and he was the one who suspected Han Xiao’s group of four the most. However, he did not reveal his suspicion, instead keeping some secrets from the four.
His plan was to create a ‘divine weapon’ to fight with Vosumede, and the rare materials that Han Xiao had gathered were the materials for the ‘divine weapon*. However, he did not reveal anything to Han Xiao’s group of four.
This way, even if Han Xiao’s group of four were spies for Vosumede, they would not know his true plan. At the same time, he would be able to borrow their strength to gather the materials for the ‘divine weapon’.
In some secret location, all the gathered materials were sent over. Wulis and a few other wizards of the upper echelons were crafting this ‘divine weapon’ secretly.
The flames of the furnace lit up the dark room, and the ‘divine weapon* was beginning to take shape.
Clank!
As the iron hammer came into contact with the red-hot ores, sparks flew in all directions, and the ores gradually began to change shape.
Wulis and the others released their magical elixirs by the side, chanted incantations, and engraved formations to complete the process.
The last step was soon reached, and the blacksmith quenched the completed ‘divine weapon’ in ice-cold water. Whoosh!
A large amount of water was immediately evaporated, and after a long wait, the blacksmith removed a metallic staff from the cold water. It looked like black vines with many curses being engraved on it.
“It is finally completed! The White Sorcerer Wand!”
Wulis picked up the staff excitedly. This was the ‘divine weapon’ that their gathering point had always wanted to forge. It was able to greatly increase the strength of their magical powers and restrict the demonic spirit army. This was the nemesis of Vosumede’s Demonic Spirit Necklace.
All the wizards present had looks of joy on their faces.
“With the White Sorcerer Wand in our hands, we have the
strength to face Vosumede head on!”
Wulis held on to the staff tightly and spoke in a bright voice.
“Everyone, we must keep the existence of this staff a secret. We must not let Vosumede and the four wizards of dubious origin know about it.
“This is our strongest trump card, and we will have to rely on it to kill Vosumede! It has been a full fifty years, and it is time for the final battle!
“Inform the wizards in all the gathering points. It is time to launch an all-out attack!”
Wulis burnt with battle intent.
The Chain Mission was at its second last phase, and its mission requirement was to head to the capital of the Ocean Boundary Kingdom to meet up with the wizards of the other gathering points. The next phase of the mission would be to defeat the final boss, Vosumede, in the palace of the Ocean Boundary Kingdom.
In some secret courtyard, all the wizards of the gathering points were gathered with Wulis as the leader. There were about 230 wizards present.
It was evening, and Wulis was giving a speech in front of the others.
“Tonight is the final battle, and we are going to sneak past the defense line of the palace to ambush the Great Palace Wizard. We will gather the strength of our gathering points to kill him. This is the moment when Vosumede is the weakest, and all of our success is thanks to our four new reclusive wizards.”
Wulis then nodded toward Han Xiao’s group of four, who were seated at the front, with a look of caution hidden in his eyes.
The way he saw it, if the four of them were spies, they would definitely expose themselves that night.
Wulis had already made preparations and got his trusted aids to keep an eye on the four of them.
Han Xiao smiled without replying.
The mission would be at its final phase during the battle, and he would be able to reap the harvest from his half a month of hard work.
Tomar was within the crowd, and his fists were clenched with agitation.
