Chapter 494: The Final Battle
Before long, Colin arrived at the top floor of the Wizard Tower.
This was an area that only he could enter.
In the empty room, there was only a white, translucent Crystal Tower placed in the center.
Buzz—
The Crystal Tower emitted a faint golden light, and a figure gradually appeared, greeting him, "Good morning, Colin."
"Good morning, Master Ludas." Colin was somewhat puzzled, "Why is it you today, what about Master Batalov?"
Ludas had a trace of gloom on his face, "Batalov is resting; he was severely injured by today's Divine uprising."
"Is it serious?" Colin asked with concern.
"It's somewhat serious, but no need to worry; as long as there's still a breath left in us, the World Will can bring us back."
Ludas smiled, completely hiding the gloom in his eyes.
What he did not say was that every such severe injury would damage one's consciousness.
And while the World Will could restore injuries, it could not restore the unique consciousness belonging to each of them.
Even if Batalov recovered this time, he might be more wooden and dull than before.
He might even… fail to preserve his self-aware consciousness, merging and disappearing within the World Will.
Ludas thought he hid his emotion well.
But Colin still felt it, his heart sinking slightly.
After a pause, he skipped this topic and continued to ask, "What's the situation on the Divine's side?"
Now the only ones who could go to the Star Realm were the seven Supreme Councilmen merged with the World Will.
The golden solid walls have turned the entire Siya Continent into an impenetrable fortress.
Initially, it was not like this, but as time passed, a week after the golden solid walls were constructed.
Unless already merged with the World Will, ordinary Wizards, even with the help of the World Will, found it almost impossible to cross the golden solid wall or the World Barrier.
This was why he had to rush to the World Barrier within a week at that time.
The golden solid walls, both a shelter and a cage.
Yet it was precisely these stringent restrictions that allowed the golden solid walls to block innumerable Divine attacks for ten years without a problem.
"The situation is grim; the seals are basically going to fail completely, with only the last Lord of Gloom remaining unsealed among the thirteen Divines." Ludas responded.
Colin was silent.
The steadily deteriorating situation in the Star Realm was the root of his anxious mood.
The Wizards were developing quickly; those young talents were swiftly converting their talents amid today's excellent education system.
Colin believes it wouldn't take a hundred years; just a few decades more, and the Wizard Clan would surely usher in the Fourth Rank power's boom.
But, can they really wait till that day?
Compared to Colin's concern, Ludas seemed to have more confidence.
Under Colin's leadership, the Wizard Clan had a bright future.
Over these ten years, every one of their Supreme Councilmen often marveled at the changes Colin brought to the entire Wizard Clan.
In just ten years, the changes in the Wizard Clan even surpassed the previous millennium!
Many times, they lamented, if only Colin had existed a millennium earlier, or even just a century, how would the Wizard Clan have fallen to its current state.
What qualifications do those Divines have to become obstacles for the Wizard Clan?
Surely they would have already been exploring the Star Realm!
Sadly, these remained merely fantasies.
But now it's not bad either; if the Wizards continue developing at this pace, those Divines, whose strength hadn't greatly improved over the past millennium, would sooner or later not be opponents.
Then naturally, they could actively withdraw the golden solid walls, reversing the offensive and defensive roles.
With such thoughts, Ludas' expression slightly changed and suddenly said, "The Star Realm seems to have some developments again, let's talk later today."
Colin nodded, preparing to ask about the specifics, but Ludas' silhouette had already vanished.
Watching Ludas hurriedly disappear, an inexplicable unease suddenly rose in Colin's heart.
Perhaps it was just an illusion…
The next second.
Colin suddenly turned his head.
His extraordinarily keen senses detected an abrupt appearance of a familiar dangerous aura from the north!
Colin's expression changed drastically.
He hadn't realized that this unease would be validated so quickly.
This familiar dangerous aura unmistakably came from the Divine!
"Could it be that the Divine crossed the golden solid walls to descend?"
"No, this direction should be the World Barrier… did they break through the World Barrier?"
His thoughts flashed quickly, his figure instinctively leaping skyward, flying out of the Wizard Tower!
"Colin!" Lillian's voice suddenly echoed.
She and Shelley stood by the study window, looking at his hurried figure, puzzled expressions on their faces.
The two of them had yet to sense that Divine aura, or rather, the Divine's hostility was directed solely at him…
Colin was familiar with this situation; during the initial solution to the farmland pollution, he once had a similar encounter, which was Divine hostility!
"What's wrong, Colin? Where are you going?" Lillian continued to ask.
Looking at the two Witches before him, Colin was slightly open-mouthed, suddenly unsure of what to say.
The world seemed to split into two halves at this moment.
The distinctive dangerous aura of the Divine was palpably clear, extending cold tendrils upon his spine, causing Colin's hairs to stand upright involuntarily.
Yet before the Wizard Tower, the gentle breeze blew, stirring the grass and trees, and the golden sunlight poured down gloriously like flowing light, reflecting the clear affection in Shelley and Lillian's eyes.
