But the most surprising part was that a tall tower had unexpectedly appeared inside the ravine!
The fog slowly scattered, and a pale yellow energy was covering the area surrounding the tower.
That was Order Power!
At this moment, there was already a dense crowd surrounding the tower.
“This is the Sky Tower, the rumored Tower of the Wild Shrine’s Guardian,” Ivan calmly said. “The 4th Fate Tablet is inside.”
…
The Wizard Shrine’s Sky Tower.
It somehow followed the fall of the Fate Tablet into this hole, or something like that anyways. This was something Marvin hadn’t expected. Wayne also hadn’t told Marvin anything about that earlier. This made Marvin feel somewhat uneasy.
‘What did Wayne experience in the Wilds Shrine in the end?’
Marvin was a little worried about him.
Wayne should have had no reason to hide this information from Marvin.
In the eyes of others, it made sense for the Sky Tower to appear along with the Fate Tablet.
But Marvin felt that the Sky Tower was definitely related to Lance.
‘Throwing Fate Tablet fragments down to Feinan in the 3rd Era, and now the Sky Tower being along with the Fate Tablet in the 4th Era.’
‘Lance… What are you after?’
Marvin couldn’t help contemplating over what this might mean..
But since the Sky Tower had appeared, Marvin wasn’t too worried about the Fate Tablet being snatched by anyone else for the time being.
He had an understanding of Order Power. Such a dense amount of it would stop anyone that was not specifically allowed inside by the owner of the Tower.
In fact, from the scene they were looking at, there were many people who had reached the First Mountain’s pass.
But they were forced by that Order Power to remain outside.
This wasn’t the first time Marvin had seen this.
The Shrieking Mountain Range to the north of White River Valley had countless monsters and lifeforms locked there by Lance’s Shackles of Order. They couldn’t take even one step outside.
And the Shackles of Order around the Sky Tower were no different from the ones around the Shrieking Mountain Range.
Since no one could go in, those from other planes had no issue making moves on others…
Marvin even saw many Divine Servants already starting to fight!
“According to the legends, if you want to enter the Sky Tower, you have to get a pass.”
“The Fate Tablet should be hidden on the top floor of the Sky Tower. If you really want to get it, you have to move step by step.”
“I believe that knowledge of the way to get passes will soon spread around.”
“At that time, bloodbaths will be inevitable,” Ivan sneered.
Marvin nodded. “The current situation should still be under control, but in at most two days, a true chaotic war will probably erupt. Naturally, this is the true era of chaos.”
Ivan took a deep breath, “Tonight I’ll exterminate the last group of Wizard Monsters in the Three Ring Towers, and I’ll then immediately hurry over.”
“It’s time to take revenge.”
Marvin naturally understood what he meant.
Great Elven King Nicholas had died because of the plotting of those Gods!
The Gods were currently fighting the Astral Beast, so if he wanted to take revenge, he could only go look for those Divine Servants!
A debt of blood must be paid in blood.
The Elven War Saint was no lover of peace.
Marvin could only pat Ivan’s shoulder, before deciding to leave.
Ivan had his path, while Marvin also had his own goals.
Both sides didn’t necessarily need to act together.
Moreover, Marvin was worried about Wayne.
The little guy was only 10 years old, but he had gone ahead and left for the chaotic area.
Marvin was worried that he might come to harm.
Even though he felt like he should be able to protect Wayne from the dark, for some reason, that warning omen was still continuously pulsing in his heart.
He bid farewell to Ivan, and before he left, the two arranged to later meet under the Sky Tower.
Just as he was about to use Endless Path to rush toward the Sky Tower, a powerful wave of painful passed through his mind!
“Isabelle!” Marvin was startled.
He suddenly changed the direction of his Endless Path ability, aiming instead at a hill not far from the First Mountain Range!
“Woosh!”
Marvin’s shadow flashed past.
Beside the hill, Isabelle’s face was filled with pain.
Her abdomen had been pierced by Arcane Energy and she fell to the ground in pain.
‘What’s going on?’
Marvin hurried over.
Isabelle was covered in wounds, and a Healing Stone was flickering with a faint white glow as it tried to cure her wounds.
But that Arcane Energy was too powerful and fierce. The wound looked like it was expanding despite the efforts of the Healing Stone!
“I’m fine,” Isabelle insisted, with a pale face and a complicated expression.
Marvin frowned. He activated his Wisdom ability to try to reconstruct what had happened here, and the following scene appeared in his mind:
Ten seconds ago, Wayne had used a long-distance teleportation spell to reach this place.
He stamped his feet there while looking at the Sky Tower in the distance, showing a prideful expression. “My things belong to me in the end.”
“Teacher, I won’t let you be disappointed.”
“Because I am the true… God of Magic!”
After saying this, he suddenly turned around and sent a frightening Arcane Energy bursting from his fingertips, flying toward the hidden Isabelle, who had been trying to protect Wayne from the shadows!
Isabelle barely avoided a mortal injury, but she lost her ability to move.
Wayne remained silent and started walking to the Sky Tower.
…
Marvin was at a loss after finding out what had happened.
‘What happened to Wayne?’
‘He wants to become the God of Magic?’
Marvin had secretly tasked Isabelle to protect Wayne, not expecting that she might be detected by him.
And when he made a move against her, it had been so ruthless.
‘What did my younger brother experience in the Wilds Shrine?’
‘He… Is that still him?’
Marvin clenched his teeth.
An angry voice erupted in the distance, followed by Arcane Energy and Divine Energy clashing furiously.
There was an atmosphere of chaos and slaughter spread across almost the whole First Mountain Range.
Just as Ivan said, this was the start of… an Era of Chaos.

Chapter 663: God of Magic?
Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance
The sky was still overcast.
A lot of dark clouds were accumulating on both sides of the mountain range.
It was definitely noon on a day in spring, but it felt like a gloomy winter day.
After the Great Calamity, Feinan’s climate had become extremely nasty. Even the First Mountain Range, which had always had four seasons, now was in a period of constantly irritable weather.
All the powerful auras left traces on both sides of the mountain range.
Everyone was quietly standing around the tower.
Before they saw a good opportunity, few would randomly make a move…
They were on guard against each other while some were making alliances, or faking it.
All the forces from all sides of the Universe finally met in this part of Feinan.
In the long history, similar, more localized conflicts had appeared countless times, but for Feinan’s natives, it was the first time s
o many powerful “outsiders” had come in such scale. They were seeking the same item, which would most likely change the structure of the Universe.
The words “Fate Tablet” were very sensitive at the moment. Just mentioning them could affect the nerves of who knew how many people.
Perhaps it was because all of the strongest of the God Realms were busy resisting the Astral Beast, but Hell and the Abyss didn’t send their most powerful forces either.
Under the tacit agreement of the strongest people there, those heading this conflict were mostly Divine Servants or Greater Demons and Greater Devils.
It was also only they that could enter Feinan while the space was still unstable after the Universe Magic Pool shattered, preventing the strongest from entering normally.
As for the Truth Goddess, from what Marvin understood, she was a being on another level of existence.
But even though most of these…“guests” were maintaining their self-control for now, there were still some that were slaughtering recklessly!
…
Southwest of the Sky Tower, in a short rainforest, five people dressed as Clerics were in a circle.
They were holding their hands while mumbling.
Each had a silver pendant hanging at their chest. This was the symbol of a particular Mid God, the God of Lightning.
“Praying to your God?” a young voice echoed.
The Clerics frowned, and the leader was very unhappy, yet bewildered, by the fact that a kid was disturbing their ritual.
In the current circumstances, the Gods from the Astral Sea had to stand united.
Most of the Divine Servants worked together too.
No one would take the initiative to provoke someone from the Astral Sea.
“Get out if you don’t want to die!”
Killing intent flashed in the eyes of the Cleric overseeing the ritual.
Oddly, this kid gave him an uncomfortable feeling, making him want to fidget in place.
But it was just a Legend Wizard, and he was very young. It should be one of the rare geniuses of the continent. But what is talent worth before it’s realized?
Those talented people, in the eyes of the followers of Gods, were just mortals.
Mortals were too limited. When the followers of the Gods had descended to this continent, they hadn’t even considered the mortals.
They believed that their only competition was each other.
The little boy laughed. “There is no use in praying to him.”
“The Lightning God is just a useless piece of trash. After losing the Storm Fragment, he could only become a Mid God.”
“You would be better off following me.”
The five Clerics were shocked by that kid’s domineering attitude.
“What nonsense are you talking about?” a Cleric among them angrily berated.
The little boy frowned.
Without warning, Arcane Energy burst all over the Cleric’s body.
“Boom!”
A resounding explosion echoed out. The Cleric didn’t even have time to use any of his Divine Power before he exploded into pieces!
“Kill him!”
“This is a lunatic!”
The other four paled from fright.
But the boy showed regret at their reaction. “Why are you unwilling to step out of the darkness and seek the light?”
“I am the true God.”
“I am the real God of Magic!”
As he made this declaration, a frightening scythe of Divine Power passed harmlessly through his body as if he wasn’t even there.
Then, a blue light passed through his body.
Those Divine Spells went straight through him, not injuring him at all.
As the four followers of the Lightning God finally paused in bewilderment, an earth-rending Arcane Storm came out of nowhere and tore them to pieces.
The boy slowly walked into the shadows, leaving this place.
20 seconds later, a shadow appeared.
Marvin frowned again while looking at what remained of those corpses.
‘That’s 37 people…’
‘He is getting faster, I can’t even catch up now.’
Marvin had a headache.
He didn’t understand what was happening.
He just took a trip to the Thousand Leaves Forest and the Night Monarch’s Underground Palace, and during that time, Wayne should have been on his way from White River Valley.
But once the youth reached the First Mountain Range, his temperament suddenly changed.
After dealing a surprise attack on Isabelle, he began slaughtering without restraint.
Regardless of who it was, he attacked ruthlessly!
And he certainly had the ability to do so.
His Arcane Spells were incredibly powerful. The inheritance of the Wizard God certainly wasn’t in vain.
The most frightening part was that Marvin was unable to keep up with his killing speed.
He wanted to stop Wayne, but because he had needed to take Isabelle to a safe location first, he lost a few minutes, leading to the current situation.
37 Legends died to Wayne’s magic.
If he didn’t stop, who knew what would happen?
‘What is going on with him?’
With such thoughts roiling in his head, Marvin kept up the relentless pursuit!
Because of the Sky Tower, the surrounding space was sealed by Order Power.
Marvin could only rely on his Post-Godly Dexterity to chase Wayne, or else he would have already caught up to him with Endless Path.
He was now very worried about Wayne’s situation.
He got an especially alarming feeling from how Wayne was referring to himself as the true “Magic God”.
After all, the one who had recently tried to attain that position was Dark Phoenix.
That woman had been cut to death by Marvin.
Now, his younger brother was saying he wanted to become the new Magic God.
What the hell was going on?
…
In a small forest, he pushed his Post-Godly Dexterity to its limits, while keeping Night Tracking continuously active.
Wayne was moving very quickly, but he was still a Wizard in the end, and he was also stopping to kill people.
After he killed his 39th victim, Marvin managed to catch up.
“You aren’t Wayne.”
“Who are you?”
Marvin looked at the fresh corpse and took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
Wayne showed a very natural expression as he innocently asked, “Brother? What do you mean? These are all wretched people.”
“They destroyed the Universe magic Pool, don’t you remember?”
“Aren’t they your enemies? I’m helping you kill them, how could you question me?”
Marvin faintly froze.
But in that split second, a powerful feeling of danger burst at his side.
He reacted immediately and used the full extent of his Post-Godly Dexterity to shift his location.
The next second, the place where he had been standing was turned to dust by a veritable explosion of Arcane Energy!
“Woosh!”
Marvin’s shadow was like lightning, charging unhesitantly at Wayne.
Amazement flashed in the latter’s eyes, before turning to a sneer.
The Arcane Energy around him began flaring up.
“No one can stop the God of Magic.”
“Not even you.”

Chapter 664: Divine Shackles

Wayne’s strange state made Marvin very worried.
But he knew that it was definitely not the time to hold back.
The opponent certainly hadn’t held back with that massive blast of Arcane Energy.
He didn’t know when it had appeared, but Marvin noticed a strange Soul Imprint in Wayne’s body.
He hadn’t noticed this i
mprint back in White River Valley.
From Isabelle’s description, Wayne had been very normal while in White River Valley, up until something weird happened as he got closer to the Sky Tower.
Before that, she hadn’t noticed anything wrong.
The only possibility was that the person doing this wasn’t Wayne at all!
‘Could he have been switched by someone stealthily? No way, right?’
‘Or could it be possession?”
Marvin felt like the possibility of the latter was a lot bigger.
After all, there were countless powerhouses who had come to Sky Tower this time, and there was definitely a large number of Evil Spirits.
How could Tidomas’ minions miss such a good opportunity?
The other Evil Spirit Overlords should have also sent capable agents that would strive to take credit for that great lifeform in the Evil Spirit Sea.
And among Evil Spirits, there were many that could possess bodies and could temporarily control a soul.
The only thing that made Marvin doubtful about this theory was that since Wayne gained the Wizard God’s inheritance, he should have immense willpower and wisdom. How could he be possessed without Isabelle noticing anything?
Even if he really was possessed, why was that spirit so familiar with Wayne’s body, so adept in using his magic, and proclaiming itself the God of Magic?
…
At that moment, Marvin couldn’t spend too much effort thinking.
The only thing he could do at the moment was to capture Wayne.
He believed that no matter the reason for his behavior, with the help of the Wisdom Chapter, he could help Wayne out of that predicament.
Marvin pushed his speed so fast that he even tore through space as he reached Wayne!
Marvin suddenly grimaced.
He couldn’t move forward at all!
A powerful Barrier was blocking his path.
He could even feel that Barrier ripping at his body, as if it were a huge whirlpool continuously tearing apart his skin!
“Bireger’s Spinning Barrier is a very useful spell, wouldn’t you say?”
Wayne smiled coldly.
Four Arcane Energy Cones lanced down at Marvin from tricky angles.
The Barrier was very good at sticking to people. If Marvin tried to forcibly break away from it right now, he would lose his opportunity.
