Chapter 881 Nicholas's Memories and the Clash of Civilizations
As the Tree of Prosperity fell from Locke's palm, thorns and roots appeared on the ground of the Demon Wolf Hell, which had been burning with flames. These thorns and roots pierced through the flames and tore the earth apart.
In an instant, countless tree roots wrapped around the demon wolf's avatar, and within the roots were thorns.
"My power..."
The wolf's eyes, which he transformed into, were also demonic eyes. He used shapeshifting magic to turn his own eyes into demonic wolf eyes. His demonic wolf eyes looked at the tree roots and thorns that were wrapped around his body and found that these tree roots and thorns were constantly shrinking and squeezing his body.
But that's not all; as these roots and thorns entangled his body, they were actually trying to assimilate with his life force.
His vitality, in turn, supports these roots and thorns.
"Botany...potions...and magical powers I don't understand, could this be..."
The wolf avatar's pupils suddenly shrank. "Is this archaeology?"
He sensed from Locke's spell the power created by the convergence of multiple disciplines.
His life force is deeply intertwined with these tree roots and thorns.
The two energies mix.
The one that blends his power with the power of the trees is potion science; the one that constantly recreates the power of plants is archaeology; and the one that gains vigorous vitality and thus allows magical plants to grow rapidly is botany.
The Tree of Prosperity was originally a magical artifact built upon botany and archaeology, with a touch of potion-making.
However, the main focus is still on botany.
The wolf avatar immediately flew into a rage.
"Don't even think about killing me like that."
"No, no, no! No, I don't want to die. I don't want to die."
He tilted his head back, opened his mouth, and spat out a golden lightning bolt. That golden lightning bolt was a transforming energy lightning bolt. After falling back into the air, it returned and entered his body, causing his body to begin to swell, and his figure grew larger and larger.
He wanted to use the transforming energy lightning to amplify his transforming energy and expand his body to break free from the entanglement of the tree roots.
However, after his life energy suddenly became stronger, the tree roots and thorns mixed with his life energy, causing the tree roots wrapped around him to expand and grow rapidly.
These tree roots seem to grow upwards indefinitely.
As the demon wolf's avatar grew to the size of a mountain, the energy of these tree roots and thorns also continued to rise.
The wolf avatar quickly noticed the anomaly, as his shapeshifting ability had inexplicably increased as well.
His power is being amplified.
Not only that, his power was actually increasing.
"Do not……"
The demon wolf's avatar widened its eyes.
"Too much, my power is too much, my power is rising too high."
"why?"
The wolf avatar's eyes were filled with panic and incomprehension.
He initially thought it was a spell that absorbed his life force and strengthened the plant's power, but now he discovered that his life force was also being strengthened, and his power was also being strengthened.
Not only was he strengthened, but with the same power, his strength seemed to have become even more formidable.
His power became more effective.
This should have been a good thing!
The wolf avatar's eyes revealed disbelief.
"This feeling of powerlessness... I don't understand. What happened? Is this the wizarding world now? I've been away from there for too long! Now I want to go back, but I can't understand it..."
Countless tree roots wrapped around his body and engulfed him.
The next moment, all the tree roots exploded, shattering a large number of them into fragments. The wolf avatar encased within them was also completely reduced to fragments in that instant.
The hellfires of the Demon Wolf Hell, which had been churning and shifting, suddenly collapsed.
These fragments transformed into a rain of debris that fell upon the land burning with hellfire, instantly melting into a pure life energy—a verdant spiritual aura in a gaseous state that seeped into the land.
In the blink of an eye, the land became lush and green, with a forest of ash trees blooming on the land of hellfire.
Because the energy is absorbed from the relatively barren hellish soil, flames entwine the branches and leaves of this forest of one-ringed demonic plants called the Thorn Queen.
Hussein had just found a way to climb out of the hellfire where there was nowhere to land, and he had just raised the head of the Blood Ancestor's true form when he saw a thorn queen burning with hellfire.
Hussein saw the incarnation of the second-circle wizard of the Transfiguration school in the Southern Wizarding Capital. His body exploded, and a forest of fourteen first-circle magical plants, the Thorn Queen, appeared on the spot.
He was slightly surprised.
“It’s not just me who’s improving rapidly, Locke’s skill level is also improving. I remember the first time I met him, he was just a little wizard who could only use tricks like ‘Hand of Vines.’ Now, he already has the demeanor of a master.”
"I don't understand what just happened..."
Hussein fell into thought. Given his personality, he would never miss an opportunity to find the weaknesses of everyone around him, but if he couldn't understand them, that was another matter entirely.
On the other side, the old pirate Henry was completely dumbfounded.
"How could this be?"
The magic pressure of that second-circle wizard did not decrease; instead, it continued to rise. Although the intensity of his magic pressure could not be increased due to level limitations, his total magic pressure was increasing, the activity of his magic pressure was increasing, and his magical power was becoming more active.
From any perspective, the other party seems to be developing in a positive direction.
The other person's body grew to the size of a mountain. He thought that the captain's new spell experiment had failed and that the other person might be able to break free from the spell.
But the next moment, the mountain-sized demonic wolf avatar exploded into fragments.
Instead, a forest of magical plants appeared on the spot.
Old Henry's lips trembled.
"What just happened? I don't understand."
He instantly realized a possibility.
When one wizard can no longer understand another wizard's magic, it indicates a significant gap between them.
Locke stood with his hands behind his back. The Demon Wolf Hell was this wizard's ultimate magic, but because it was mixed with the power of the Persepolis gods, it was no longer a pure ultimate magic, and he had lost complete control over it.
Therefore, unless the Demon Wolf Hell collapses, this wizard will be difficult to completely eliminate.
But just now, by destroying his demon wolf avatar, I almost destroyed his power to interfere with the material world.
The demonic wolf's avatar was transformed into the soul of a middle-aged man.
He was panting.
A divine eye appeared behind him.
A smug look appeared in his eyes.
“Gregory Newman, you should thank me for saving your broken soul. Hehehe, I’ve come to help you.”
Gregory Newman's soul bowed its head.
He didn't speak.
Having lost his demon wolf avatar, he had lost all ability to interfere with the present world. Moreover, his Dao heart had been shattered and his defenses breached by Locke. Even though he still had a breath left, he was disheartened.
Moreover, Locke is a tiger, and how good can this Persepolis god thing be?
He would rather fall into Locke's hands than into the hands of this god.
Locke reached out his hand, and the golden lightning bolt exposed in the air fell into his hand after the demon wolf avatar was shattered.
"This is..."
This golden lightning bolt of transforming energy is clearly the work of a wizard from the Transfiguration school.
This golden lightning bolt of transforming energy seems to be the result of Gregory Newman's accumulation of resources over hundreds of years in this world, and it should be the tool he is preparing to use to break through to become a Star Ring Wizard.
Gregory Newman, who was being held by the Divine Eye, suddenly looked up at Locke. He calmed down and looked at the badge worn on the chest of the Locke Saint incarnation, and said, "Locke Augustine, senior researcher of Mount Golden Crown. You are a breeder with outstanding talent."
"I lost to you, I admit defeat."
"We met in this plane, and we are enemies. The reason is that we have both been operating in this world for a long time. No matter who wins, I will not show any mercy. Give me any chance to breathe, and I will try to use that [Seleucus Transformation Lightning] to advance to become a Star Ring Wizard, and then kill you all and take over this world."
"I have already lost, and I have no will to fight you anymore."
Gregory Newman said, "Although you are among those who have brought me to this point, I have figured out the main enemy. The one who brought me to this point is this fellow of the Persepolis gods."
He let out a soft, ambiguous laugh as he gripped his divine eye from behind.
It seemed like a mockery.
Gregory Newman shouted to Locke, "If you can help me bring back the magical legacy I left in the Demon Wolf Hell to my Newman family in the Southern Witch Capital, I will tell you the greatest secret about this world."
Locke, wearing golden dragon claw pineapple wizard shoes, glanced at him.
"can."
It was just something I did on a whim.
Gregory Newman shouted, “I believe you. I’m telling you, for a very long time this world has been drawn to some force that I don’t even understand, and large numbers of Void Gods and our wizards have descended here. This world has been visited by countless forces long ago.”
"This fellow from the Persepolis gods isn't the first god to arrive here. The first god to arrive here was—the Banaradga gods!"
"This is a secret I discovered during my centuries of ruling this upper plane."
Locke frowned.
Henry, the old pirate standing at the gates of hell, looked surprised, but in an instant, a deep greed flashed in his eyes.
"The Builder God Race? One of the three great god races that are hostile to the Wizard Civilization in the Great Void! My God, how could two great god races and two groups of wizards from the Great World of Truth descend upon this small world?"
"What exactly is it in this world that attracts so many beings?"
Hussein, on the other hand, was trying to rise from the hellfire. He was like someone trapped in a deflated air mattress, unable to move quickly in this world. He was trapped here.
Hussein lay there, pondering, "The Banaradga gods are the builder gods, how could they appear here! Wait... the King of Giants, that makes sense."
As a master of blood curse magic, Hussein naturally had some understanding of bloodline studies.
"The giants here probably all have some blood of the Banaradga gods."
After all, the more common way to refer to the Baneraldgar gods in the Great Void is as the Titan King!
Within the Demon Wolf Hell, a spark suddenly flashed in the divine eye, followed by Gregory Newman's soul screaming in agony.
The divine eye was quite annoyed.
“Gregory Newman, you’re really asking for trouble. Fine, if that’s how it is, then I’ll just kill you.”
"They actually told that wizard this secret."
"Have you forgotten? I planted divinity within you long ago. It was only because you had an avatar before that you didn't die completely, which prevented me from turning this higher plane into my divine realm. But now, you are dead."
"Since I tricked you into revealing the Laws of Hell, you've been unable to use the Demon Wolf Hell to defend against me. My original plan was to kill you before the final battle with those three second-ring wizards. The order is wrong now, but it's still acceptable."
Gregory Newman screamed as his soul shattered and his self-awareness dissipated. Although he still had a part of himself alive because of the Demon Wolf Hell, the part of his self-awareness that constituted him was being cruelly shattered by the Divine Eye.
And his soul was being shattered by the divine eye.
Gregory Newman cried out, “Please, take my body…back to the wizarding world.”
The next moment, his soul shattered completely, and his self-awareness was shattered by the divine eye of the Persepolis gods.
Faced with the cold gazes of the three second-circle wizards, the God Eye of the Persepolis God Clan seemed to have a "what's the use" attitude. He crumpled up the fragments of Gregory Newman's soul and stuffed them into the cracks of the Demon Wolf Hell.
The Demon Wolf Hell seemed to have come alive.
The earth trembled, flames raged, and a colossal lava beast engulfed in hellfire crawled up from the edge of the Demon Wolf Hell world.
Like an earth dragon turning over, countless vengeful spirits of demon wolves were destroyed by this rock giant.
The eye of the Persepolis gods burst into laughter.
"Finally, Gregory Newman, this hidden danger, is gone. Without him, I can finally control this monstrous lord left behind by the Banaradga gods!"
God's Eyes looked at Locke with a provocative gaze.
Locke glanced at the [Seleucus Transforming Lightning] in his hand, which possessed powerful transforming energy, and then put it away.
Then, Locke looked at the Divine Eye. Although the Divine Eye had revealed a trump card that Locke had not known beforehand, this place was now the Demon Wolf Hell.
Strictly speaking, this is not the home ground of the Divine Eye.
Let's have our final battle here.
The eye of the Persepolis gods appeared before Locke on its own initiative. This was the first time Locke had faced this eye since entering this world.
The divine eyes shimmered with rays of golden divine light.
“I possess the immortal spark of divinity, which grants me immunity to death. You cannot kill me.”
Locke coldly replied, "Killing you is much easier than killing the Lord of the Dire Wolves. You don't have the immense magic to merge with a higher plane. As long as I inflict greater damage on you with a more powerful attack, bringing you a greater death, your divinity will be unable to save you."
"After all, you're just a name that someone else has already used up."
Godeye was instantly enraged. He could accept any criticism Locke might level against him, but he simply couldn't stand Locke saying that he was just a name.
This was an utter insult to the Persepolis gods.
The Persepolis gods are the sower gods!
They are a civilized race that constantly pursues perfection!
The divine eye became enraged.
"How dare you treat me like a native?"
He controlled the principle of destruction into his divine immortal spark, and the next moment a principle of destruction, like a dump truck, charged towards Locke.
But the golden dragon claw air pineapple on Locke's left foot automatically detached from his foot and landed on Locke's right hand, turning into a glove.
He swung the glove, and the powerful imaginary golden dragon claws of the air pineapple pierced the destructive power like four dragon claws, tearing it apart.
"The world shows no signs of being destroyed. Your theory of destruction is merely a facade."
Locke shattered the destructive force with a golden dragon claw attack.
Suddenly, the Divine Eye incorporated the Principle of Fire into his divine name. The next moment, the Divine Eye's divine name strengthened the Principle of Fire, giving it the framework of power.
Thus, the shape of a fire giant was constructed with the divine eye as the center. This fire giant was much more powerful than the original fire giant of the Three Cave Worlds. Its entire body was covered in flame armor and flame spikes, and it looked extremely dangerous.
The name of a god can amplify the power of all types of world laws.
Only with the world's principles embodied in the name of God can true power be unleashed and the framework of power be established.
The divine eye has become a single eye embedded in the giant's head.
He transformed into a one-eyed fire giant.
Just as he was about to move the fiery giant's body, which seemed as large as heaven and earth, Locke unleashed a golden wheat stalk, and at the same time, the Tree of Prosperity no longer blessed the Golden Dragon Claw Pineapple, but blessed the golden wheat stalk.
Instantly, one golden wheat stalk turned into two, and one golden whip was swung out, which then turned into two golden whips.
'boom……'
'boom……'
Two sonic booms rang out, and the body of the one-eyed fire giant was directly shattered, its fiery body on the verge of collapse.
The flames on his body were almost completely absorbed by the two golden wheat stalks in the next instant. The fire giant, which originally radiated a dazzling flame and amazing divine light, was now completely dark.
Because all the light was taken away by Locke.
The lava behemoth summoned by the Persepolis gods seemed to be beyond his precise control. Although the lava behemoth's power was exaggerated, seemingly possessing the strength of a star ring, it was only driven by basic instincts due to the lack of human control and therefore did not obey the divine eye's commands at all.
It neither protected it nor attacked anything that existed for it.
The lava behemoth seemed to have just woken up; it even rolled over on the ground of the Demon Wolf Hell, crushing countless demon wolves to death.
Upon seeing this, Hussein abandoned his plan to deal with the beast; he had originally intended to try cursing the lava behemoth.
On the other side, after Locke shattered the body of the Cyclops Fire Giant of the Persepolis Clan with a whip, Locke stepped forward, transferred the blessing of the Tree of Prosperity back to the Golden Dragon Claw Air Pineapple, and wearing the Golden Dragon Claw Air Pineapple, continued to chase the God Eye on the Hellfire.
Meanwhile, the Divine Eye had just condensed a flaming battle axe.
Locke swung his Golden Wheat Whip, and the flaming battle axe shattered from the blow.
"Hmm? With the blessing of your divine name, the Law of Fire has indeed become stronger in all aspects."
Locke lashed out with his whip, striking God Eye and instantly sending him to his death.
The divine eye's pupils turned completely black again, only escaping death because of the divine spark at work.
Locke didn't care, since as long as the deaths continued to accumulate, the divinity of the Divine Eye would be completely consumed.
He lashed out with his whip again, and a fiery shield appeared around the Divine Eye, but the light of the fiery shield, which should have been radiant, was completely stolen by Golden Wheat.
The shield was shattered.
Meanwhile, God Eye was kicked away by Locke and fell into death again in mid-air. Only with the immortal spark of divinity was he able to break free from the mire of death and be resurrected.
Locke asked, "You killed that fire giant. I remember he was very loyal to you, wasn't he?"
Locke pierced the entire eyeball of the Divine Eye once again with Pinellia ternata.
He burst into laughter.
"They're just natives. Keep them if they're useful, kill them if they're not. We can have as many of these natives as we want!"
A sea ginseng spear pierced his body, bringing death to that eye once again.
It depletes his divine reserves.
The giant wolf ran over from afar, "Professor Nicholas, I finally have the chance to contact you directly. Professor Nicholas, I'm on your side."
The divine eye, which had just recovered from the brink of death, glanced at him and immediately sneered.
“I knew none of these natives were trustworthy. This wolf giant really is one of yours.”
"Barbarians never know gratitude."
"Killing the natives is no loss!"
Locke glanced at the Divine Eye, manipulated the Second Ring Sea Gold Sand, and used a Golden Finger to pierce the Divine Eye's eye with a single finger.
Divine Eye once again fell into death.
Locke sneered, "What natives? In my wizarding world, all races are human. But those who are not human have no human rights."
The Divine Eye escaped death and, manipulating the Principle of Fire, provoked Locke.
"That's why I laugh at your civilization. I am the only one who follows the law, and all paths lead to me. That is perfection."
“In the endless void, there are not many civilizations as childish and laughable as your Nightmare Legion.”
"Naive, so incredibly naive, it's almost laughable."
Locke was about to kill God Eye once again, and the magical pressure between the two had reached its most intense moment.
The giant wolf ran over from a distance and shouted to Locke, "Teacher, please don't kill him. This is a memory you left in my mind. Now I'm giving it to you."
"Teacher, please continue."
The next moment, the wolf giant tossed a memory to Locke, who turned and caught it with his left hand.
Locke glanced at the memory and immediately recognized it as an archaeological spell model called [Historical Recreation].
This is Nicholas's...memories.
