Chapter 488: Lord of Miracles
Shocked by the aura emanating from Colin, the four Wizards ceased flying, instinctively saying:
"Lentria has ordered us to investigate the situation within the Eye of the Extreme North."
Colin frowned, "I've already said, there are no Divine Believers inside, only my friend who is healing, and she cannot be disturbed for the time being."
"But sir, this is Lord Lentria's command…" the Wizards in front of him showed a look of embarrassment.
"I will personally explain this to him." Colin continued to emphasize.
In the distant command post.
Lentria also witnessed this scene, he looked at Colin, eyes slightly narrowed. Colin's behavior made him feel even more suspicious.
After a brief contemplation, Lentria said to his assistant beside him:
"Come with me to meet him."
Can't delay any longer, if there is some plot requiring delay, then what he needs to do is to seize the time.
The two assembled several other Fourth Rank Wizards and headed towards Colin.
"Lentria sir." The four Wizards greeted first.
Colin followed their gaze and looked over,
"Lentria sir." Colin also greeted politely.
"Hmm." Lentria responded lightly, then asked, "You said everything within the Eye of the Extreme North is safe, and you have destroyed the true avatar of the Divine; do you have any evidence?"
Colin's expression was calm.
"My power is… hmm?"
He suddenly turned his head, seeing on the left side, several Wizards quietly flying towards the Blizzard Wall.
"What does this mean, Lentria sir?!" Colin said in a deep voice, with a touch of anger on his face.
After speaking, he was about to intercept.
Swish!
However, at this moment, Lentria made a move to stop him, brilliant lights flowed around him, emanating a dangerous aura, he said slowly while staring at Colin:
"Since everything is safe, why not let us in to investigate, sir, are you hiding something?"
"I've said my friend is healing inside and cannot be disturbed." Colin said in a deep voice, the red energy inside his body surged, bringing an intimidating aura no less than Lentria's, and even slightly stronger.
Lentria raised his eyebrows, becoming more certain there was something wrong with Colin:
"I know you, Colin."
"When you became a Councilman, my student went to witness it. He mentioned how you were promoted as a Second Rank wizard to a Councilman, and how you exhibited the strength of a Third Rank wizard in a duel and defeated the challenging Councilman…"
Lentria paused, narrowing his eyes slightly: "He praised you as a genius, but now it seems, you are more than just a genius… Your current power has grown to a level that even I feel is dangerous!"
"Tell me… without the help of the Divine, how did you manage to grow to such an extent in just a few years?!"
As soon as he spoke, the Fourth Rank Wizards behind Lentria quietly spread out, instantly surrounding Colin.
...
"Does the situation seem a bit off?" Not far away, Booster frowned at this scene.
"Why are they surrounding Colin, sir?"
Gard also showed a puzzled expression.
"No, we have to go see!" Booster said in a deep voice, just about to take off.
"Wait." Gard instinctively stopped him, "The commanding Wizard wouldn't rashly intercept Colin, there must be a reason for this."
"Precisely because of that, I need to go." Booster said, "There might be some misunderstanding between them."
"But we all know, Colin sir cannot have anything to do with the Divine, he is a Wizard favored by the world!
If it weren't for him, we would all have perished at sea."
Booster flew towards Colin and the others.
Gard hesitated for a moment but then followed him.
As Booster said, the other Wizards present could possibly have a connection, but Colin absolutely could not have any ties with the Divine.
However… for the sake of the other Wizards from Nolan Continent, Gard hesitated to interfere.
"What's going on, Lentria, sir?"
Arriving beside Colin and the others, Booster asked the confronting Wizards in a deep voice.
Gard also came to stand beside Booster, although he felt a bit helpless in his heart, his face at this moment expressed nothing, but stood firmly with Booster.
Lentria looked at Colin, then at Booster and Gard, not in a hurry to answer but continued to ask Colin:
"I am curious… how does a Wizard raised in Siya Continent come to know a group of Wizards from Nolan Continent?"
"Also, I don't know how you came from Nolan Continent to Siya Continent… was it before the Golden Solid Wall was built?"
Perhaps thinking that his side's power had already gained absolute advantage, Lentria looked at Booster and Gard with interest, his tone unhurried.
Booster and Gard were taken aback: "Sir doesn't know how we came to Siya Continent?"
"It was under Colin's guidance, following the lead and help of the world's will, that we crossed the World Barrier and arrived at Siya Continent…"
'Under the guidance of the world's will?'
Lentria looked at Booster and Gard, slightly stunned but then felt it was absurd, turning to question Colin:
"Is what they said true?"
"It is true." Colin answered patiently.
Yet Lentria looked even more skeptical, "Do you have any evidence?"
Colin no longer had the patience to chat with him further.
One of the hardest things to change in the world is prejudice; it's better to let power speak!
Those Wizards in the distance are about to fly to the Blizzard Wall!
The red energy surged in Colin's body, his raised right palm grasped into the air towards the distance.
Suddenly, red rings appeared on the bodies of the Wizards about to reach the Blizzard Wall, their flying figures halted, slowly descending towards the ice field below.
Lentria saw this and became furious.
You still dare to do this in front of him!
Boom!!
His face darkened as he led the attack against Colin!
Buzz——
However, at that moment, a grand figure suddenly appeared in the night sky.
The Supreme Councilor had suddenly descended.
He extended his arm, neutralizing the attacks from Ryden and others, and asked in a deep voice.
"Why do wizards fight among themselves?"
"Your Excellency, Supreme Councilor..." Ryden and the others froze and promptly greeted him with respect.
Colin also looked up, gazing at this unexpected figure.
The Supreme Councilor... why did he suddenly come here?
Typically, the Supreme Councilor, as the strongest combat force of a wizard and the only permanent defensive force stationed in the Star Realm, rarely takes action.
At this moment, Supreme Councilor Batalov also looked at Colin, with unmistakable anticipation in his eyes.
"We meet again, Colin," Batalov said.
As he spoke, his figure quickly shrank, finally arriving next to Colin and Booster.
At this time, Colin noticed another familiar wizard alongside Batalov.
"Lord Batalov." Colin first greeted Batalov, then looked at the wizard beside him with some delight and said:
"Lord Ryden, you're alive?"
Ryden nodded with a smile, sighing: "I'm also surprised to see you here."
At this moment, he looked dusty and weary, with visible signs of wear and tear on his Wizard Robe.
Colin felt a bit puzzled, but with the Supreme Councilor present, it wasn't a fitting time for a detailed conversation. He suppressed his curiosity for now and continued to look at Batalov.
"So, what exactly happened? Why did you cause such a commotion here?"
Batalov continued to ask, turning his head to look around before finally resting his gaze on Booster and saying: "You answer."
"Alright, Lord Batalov." Booster nodded quickly. After a moment of deliberation, he recounted everything he knew without any embellishment.
After listening, Batalov nodded slightly, turned to glance at the nearby Eye of the Extreme North, then calmly announced to Ryden:
"Colin did not lie; there are no remnants of the Divine in the Eye of the Extreme North."
"As for why you're not allowed to enter, it has its own reasons," Batalov smiled, "If you want to know, you can ask Colin. Of course, I can't guarantee he'll tell you."
Though Ryden still harbored resentment, with the Supreme Councilor's words, he had no choice but to accept, responding solemnly: "I understand, Lord Batalov."
"The combat in the Sea Domain is also basically concluded," Batalov chuckled, "Now, across the entire Siya Continent, there is no longer any presence of the Divine!"
Even though the present Wizards knew this day would come sooner or later with the completion of the Golden Solid Wall, hearing it from the mouth of the Supreme Councilor elicited a mix of joy and complex emotions in each of their hearts.
The Siya Continent was completely safe, yet only temporarily.
How long the Golden Solid Wall would hold... no one could say.
"Alright, since it's just a misunderstanding that's now cleared up, there's no need to linger here. Let's get back to our respective duties."
Batalov continued, turning to look at Colin with a gentle demeanor: "Come with me, please."
"But..." Colin glanced at the Blizzard Wall beside him, feeling conflicted.
Having made a promise, he must honor it fully.
Batalov paused, then turned to see Colin's expression, and suddenly understood, laughing heartily: "Then let's wait a bit more, it should be any moment now."
If he remembered correctly, the World Elf born here seemed to be female.
He looked at Colin, feeling somewhat emotional.
Even with an endless lifespan, some things in life happen only once...
Listening to their conversation, Ryden felt slightly curious too. But after a glance at Colin, he simply bowed respectfully to the Supreme Councilor before turning to leave.
With the battle over, it was time to disband the wizard troops and prepare for the upcoming post-war celebration and the exchange of battle merits.
Rustle——
Not long after Ryden turned away, changes occurred again in the Blizzard Wall in the Extreme North, as those upstream waterfall-like snow mists gradually disappeared, and the circular Blizzard Wall returned to its original state.
"Looks like it is done." Batalov chuckled, "Go take a look quickly."
He paused and added: "But don't take too long, my time is limited."
"Yes."
Eagerly, Colin flew toward the Eye of the Extreme North, but before he reached the Blizzard Wall, a white figure flew out ahead of him.
Shelley, with her delicate face showing some anxiety, although unable to move within the Eye of the Extreme North, could sense the continuous battle vibrations from outside.
"Shelley, did you succeed?"
Seeing Colin flying towards her, Shelley finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Colin, reassured by the smooth progress of Shelley's promotion, bade a temporary farewell and returned to Batalov's side.
"Not going to chat a bit more?" Batalov's smile was somewhat meaningful, "Soon you might not have much free time."
Colin didn't quite understand Batalov's meaning and thought for a moment before answering: "The future is long, there will always be time."
Batalov nodded noncommittally, leading him towards the sky.
Before long, the two arrived at a Cloud Palace.
"Do you know why I brought you here?" Batalov led Colin inside.
"I don't know." Colin shook his head slightly as he stepped into the grand palace.
Six ethereal figures were seated on the golden chairs at the forefront of the hall, watching as he entered.
Colin could sense a mix of complex emotions in the eyes of the Supreme Councilors, with anticipation being the strongest, shared with Batalov.
Moving his gaze away from the Supreme Councilors, Colin noticed three familiar figures in the middle of the palace.
The trio was none other than Mill, whom he had just recently parted ways with!
Batalov
