Marvin stood on the mountain peak like a God.
A dazzling golden radiance flickered behind him and his eyes looked radiant. These effects were caused by the activation of Major Wish!
Wish, as the name implied, was about satisfying all kinds of desires.
It was a bit similar to Divination and Major Divination. However, Major Wish would turn dreams into reality while Major Divination would turn the future into reality. When looking at the difficulty of the spells, the two were similar, but Major Divination involved the deepest secrets of the Universe, the flow of Time, and the flow of Fate. Thus, it seemed a bit more profound.
Under the effects of Major Wish, Marvin’s words turned real!
“I want my territory to be invulnerable!”
His sentence had barely ended when an amber light shone on the walls surrounding his territory.
The few Golems greedily absorbed some of that aura. This was the energy drawn from the Earth Crystal, so they could potentially get a lot of benefits from absorbing it.
Maybe one or two Golems would be lucky and develop wisdom, turning into an Earth Essence lifeform variant.
The work Marvin had Wayne finish was showing its usefulness now.
Although Major Wish was tyrannical, it still needed a foundation and its energy was limited.
Without the defenses Wayne built around the territory, Marvin would have to use one third of its energy to build the defenses.
Now, he only needed one sentence to improve those simple walls with the Earth Crystal.
Under everyone’s shocked eyes, those simple fortifications were quickly melding with each other.
Moreover, the originally short earth wall kept rising and even surpassed the height of Marvin’s castle’s walls.
A firm and steady wall completely surrounded the entire White River Valley and the Wizard Monsters were unable to intrude.
Naturally, Marvin wasn’t stupid enough to completely trap himself in White River Valley.
The Sanctuary still had some exits, but he hid them quite ingeniously so that the enemies wouldn’t be able to find out.
In this unusual period, the people would definitely be glad to be inside the Sanctuary and wouldn’t complain too much.
Compared to the citizens in other parts of the continent, they could be considered extremely lucky.
Many adventurers were already quite shocked by these developments. One jumped up with excitement and bragged to his friends about how brilliant a decision it was to come here.
White River Valley was more or less the safest place in Feinan right now!
They could feel the powerful magical energy on the walls, which was supplied by the Earth Crystal.
But Marvin’s Wish wasn’t over.
“I want my enemies to be unable to find traces of the Sanctuary.”
With these words, the laws distorted for the whole area!
White River Valley did not disappear from Feinan, but there were some wonderful spatial changes to its surroundings.
If one looked down from the sky, one would see a boundless thick fog covering the entire region.
This fog was rather similar to the fog previously located between the Astral Sea and the Universe Magic Pool, blocking the Gods from seeing into Feinan.
With this layer of fog, even a God wouldn’t be able to spy inside White River Valley!
And even if outsiders knew the location of White River Valley, they still would be unable to find a path through the fog.
This sentence used almost half of the Wish energy!
After all, this was a very large territory.
White River Valley was no longer the small rural area that Marvin once controlled.
When including River Shore City, Sword Harbor, and the areas around the White River, his land was almost on par with the Jewel Bay area.
Marvin estimated that the remaining energy was only enough for one more wish.
He didn’t immediately use it and instead condensed that energy into a Wish Pillar.
The Wish Pillar was set up on that peak, accompanying the flame of Order. When Marvin needed it, he would activate the Wish Pillar to use his final Wish to change the interior of his territory.
After he finished establishing the Sanctuary, a yellow halo descended onto Marvin because of the plane’s laws.
A log suddenly appeared.
This halo was called [Sanctuary Lord].
As a Sanctuary Lord, he had many special powers. For example, he could expel this group of Wizard Monsters wreaking havoc near the northern mine!
Marvin pointed at that vast army and muttered, “Disappear!”
“Woosh!”
Before their very eyes, the five thousand Wizard Monsters disappeared from the Sanctuary!
They were completely expelled by Marvin.
Cheers immediately spread through White River Valley!
Those people who had been startled and frightened now relaxed because this disaster was dealt with.
But for Marvin, this was only the beginning.
Dark Phoenix only dispatched these Wizard Monsters to gain time.
He couldn’t stay in White River Valley for too long.
He quickly used the Holy scroll to reinforce the Sanctuary with a holy light.
Any monster that entered mistakenly would be directly purified by the holy light.
The remaining holy energy was also condensed into a Holy Pillar.
The two pillars soared and rested in the Source of Fire’s Order.
The Sanctuary was peaceful.
Marvin let out a sigh and looked at the Legends.
They all nodded.
Their eyes were very calm because Marvin had already caused too many shocking things. If an ordinary person set up a Holy Sanctuary during the Great Calamity, they might have looked at that person with great respect.
But Marvin? By now, the Legends considered that to be normal.
It was the upcoming battle that made their expressions heavy.
This battle would be very frightening.
The enemy was someone with the potential to become a God.
Although she was at her weakest during the ascension ritual, it was still uncertain whether they could defeat her.
But no one chose to quit at that time.
“I won’t say much.”
“Most likely, everyone is prepared to die.”
“In fact, I’m very tired of fighting. Who doesn’t want to be an ordinary person and peacefully enjoy life?”
“But living in this era is our saddest circumstance… or maybe it is our most glorious opportunity!”
Marvin’s voice suddenly rose as he looked at everyone. “Outside Feinan, there is a group of people considering themselves to be Gods while wantonly bringing destruction to the continent. The three Plane Guardians and a youth who has been in an Astral Beast’s body for who knows how many years are currently fighting them. I know that everything points to disaster.”
“But since they chose to fight, how could we just escape?”
“The consequences of Dark Phoenix ascending, do I even need to talk about them?”
“She chose the best timing and she is a very powerful enemy… But these are irrelevant to me.”
He unsheathed his daggers in a flash of cold light.
“I’ll kill her.”
Then, Marvin turned to open a passage from the Sanctuary and walked out.
All the Legends tacitly followed!
Everyone in White River Valley looked at their backs as they left.
In the northern mine, a girl with clothes filled with dust softly prayed, “You must come back alive.”
“You said you would play Rock with me again…”
…
All over Feinan.
Marvin’s declaration spread through the entire continent.
White River Valley becoming a Holy Sanctuary and the Wizard Monsters being expelled without doing much, these scenes thoroughly ignited a flame in the he
arts of Feinan’s inhabitants.
The flame of hope.
Mankind still had hope.
At this most difficult juncture, there would still be people like the Great Elven King, the Cloud Monk, that old man, that youth in the Astral Beast, and Marvin.
The Wizard Era might be over.
But the era of slavery to the Gods would never come!
…
In a layer of Hell, countless Devils were ready and waiting.
They only needed the order of that Devil Overlord above them to rush into Feinan so they could kill, plunder, and destroy!
But even after a long time passed, the Devil Overlord still had yet to give the order.
The Devils weren’t uneasy about this and simply waited peacefully.
But the Devils couldn’t have imagined that the Great Devil Head in the sky was inwardly sighing in exasperation. ‘Really making things difficult for me…’
‘My offspring actually wants to become the hero saving Feinan.’
‘And his grandfather is bound to become the villain of the story… Thinking about it, it is so cliché.’

Steel City.
This most prosperous city of the South Wizard Alliance had long since become a ruin.
A large number of Wizard Monsters were occupying the territory. In the early stage of the disaster, they had attacked all the buildings and people in the area.
The streets of Steel City reeked of desolation.
Most of the Wizards were now gathered in the southern suburbs.
Dark Phoenix was sitting on top of a small Wizard Tower.
Her brain was now connected to the consciousness of countless Wizards. This was a huge burden on her because Wizards had stronger minds than common followers.
But everything had advantages and disadvantages. Influencing Wizards would gain a lot more benefits than attracting ordinary people.
A Fate Tablet fragment was faintly discernible in front of her chest and was protecting her will.
Above her head, large void images gradually congealed. As they were refined by the Divine Fire, many indescribable incantations emerged from within. These incantations were imperfect and very messy, but they were the foundations Dark Phoenix relied on to ascend!
Once the runes and incantations were arranged, Dark Phoenix would completely control the Magic Godhood!
In the process of ascending, there were two big hurdles.
First was collecting enough followers.
Second was quickly controlling one’s Godhood.
Generally, when a Legend ascended to Godhood, they would choose a Godhood that matched their Domain.
A Barbarian insisting on ascending to the [Art] Godhood would find it extremely difficult. And although it wasn’t completely impossible, the countless failed ascensions at the start of the 3rd Era were a constant reminder to those that followed.
Even though Dark Phoenix didn’t have just one Fate Tablet fragment, she still chose Magic as her Godhood.
First, she took advantage of the Great Calamity to convince a large number of transformed Wizards to become her followers. Next, needed to quickly consolidate her Godhood.
With the current pace, she would successfully get a hold of her own Godhood in about three days.
Gods’ Domains were complicated. Although Dark Phoenix made thorough preparations, after the ritual began, many variables would appear.
She was doing her best to influence her followers while also working hard to master her Godhood. Using her magic comprehension to refine the Laws of Magic inside the Fate Tablet fragment was a very arduous task.
Currently, she really was at her weakest.
Thus, she made the army of Wizard Monsters attack White River Valley. She knew that Marvin wouldn’t be too worried about the Wizard Monsters, but he still valued his territory and his citizens very much. He would definitely be held back in White River Valley.
‘It’ll be good if they can hold them back for a day,’ Dark Phoenix thought.
Below her, there were numerous Wizards.
These Wizards were snarling and their eyes were completely red, but under the restriction of her Divine Might, they couldn’t move.
They were all 3rd rank or higher. Some of them were even Half-Legends!
After starting the ritual, Dark Phoenix gathered almost all of these stronger Wizards.
She acted intimidating while at the same time giving them hope, trying to get them to become her followers.
But it looked like she had underestimated the stubbornness of these Wizards.
Some of them would rather turn into monsters than become her servants!
Dark Phoenix was enraged by these fools!
She had a very simple solution for those people…
“Pop.”
A low bursting sound echoed.
A Wizard in the crowd exploded in a shower of blood!
The Wizards at his sides let out some sounds of unease but they couldn’t do anything.
They already weren’t able to protect their minds from the attack of the Chaos Magic Power.
If not for Dark Phoenix using the Fate Tablet fragment to give them time to make a choice, they would have already degenerated!
“It’s not shameful to acknowledge me. It’s actually an honor.”
“It would be a great honor to become a Goddess’ servant. Just like them.”
Dark Phoenix pointed at the group of more than a dozen Wizards on the closest tower.
That was the first wave of converted followers and three of them were Legend Wizards!
These three were all higher-ups of the South Wizard Alliance. In the past, Dark Phoenix had manipulated them secretly. It wasn’t strange for them to become her followers now.
The others ranged from 3rd rank to Half-Legend rank and were also very powerful.
After becoming her followers, Dark Phoenix generously gave the strongest of them positions as the Magic Goddess’ Divine Servants.
It had to be known that each God only had a limited number of spots for Divine Servants. Every God treasured their Divine Servants’ spots, just like they did for Apostles’ spots.
A God with a Level 64 Divinity (High Divine Power) only had 32 spots available for Divine Servants.
Dark Phoenix was still early in the process of ascending. Her Divinity was constantly increasing and had reached Level 12 Divinity (Medium Divine Power), which was only enough to have 6 positions for Divine Servants. And she used them all up. It could be considered a huge gamble.
But she made this gamble because she currently needed protection.
These Divine Servants would be the best guardians. Gods and their Divine Servants were closely linked.
If a Divine Servant died, the God would suffer damage.
If the God fell, the Divine Servants would definitely die!
Thus, the Divine Servants would do everything they could to protect the God they served.
Naturally, in return, these servants would be granted a considerable amount of Divine Power. In general, even a newly advanced Divine Servant would have the abilities of a weak Half-God.
The wave of Wizards that got converted into followers first could already move freely.
They spread out according to Dark Phoenix’s arrangements.
Dark Phoenix had already placed a lot of spells near the tower, but having people scout directly would be a lot better.
How could she have expected that just as her followers dispersed, she would feel a violent pain from the south!
A Divine Servant had been instantly killed!
‘South!’
‘How could this be!’
Dark Phoenix suddenly opened her eyes.
Far in the distance, a tall man was dragging a Divine Servant’s body behind him as he softly walked closer.
O’Brien. Only he could
so easily kill a Half-Legend Wizard who had become a Divine Servant!
Behind him, a few more silhouettes appeared.
Constantine, Lorant, Owl.
Upon seeing all of them, Dark Phoenix’s heart beat crazily fast as she wondered, ‘What about Marvin?’
‘And the others?’
‘Could it be a sneak attack?’
Dark Phoenix immediately raised her vigilance!
She was currently at her weakest. If Marvin attacked her, she might truly fall.
Her gaze was somewhat heavy. The transformed Wizards near the tower were growling restlessly!
She was already having a hard time suppressing them!
‘Since you dare to come, then die!’
‘There is only one end for those who dare to stand against me.’
Dark Phoenix gave the restrained Wizards a stern look.
The next second, a considerable portion of the Wizard Monsters gasped. They lost their minds again as they rushed to attack the four Legends!
O’Brien didn’t seem worried as he charged in to kill the Wizard Monsters!
But the pressure this time was a lot higher.
Heavenly Deer Lorant kept using Celestial Holy spells to add holy halos to his allies while also using spells that would reduce the effect of the Magic Power transformation on these Wizards.
Constantine and Owl chose to roam around the battlefield making opportunistic attacks. O’Brien took care of the front line, and the two weren’t specialized in fighting head-on. It was fine when fighting 2nd rank Wizard Monsters, but now the army of Wizards was a whole rank stronger. One lucky spell and they could be crushed to death.
A messy battle broke out.
The fight in the southern suburbs of Steel City wasn’t easy for the Legends’ 4-man team. It was a slow and bitter struggle.
These Wizard Monsters weren’t ordinary Wizards!
They were all 3rd rank or higher, and with the effect of the Chaos Magic Power, their spells were basically twice as strong.
After a while, even O’Brien started dodging instead of meeting the spells head-on.
That guy had dared to fight with the Molten Overlord and the Azure Matriarch!
But facing this swarm of frightening Wizard Monsters, he started to show signs of weariness.
In spite of this, they didn’t retreat, they kept fighting!
…
Dark Phoenix’s doubts kept increasing.
