Shadow of the Beautiful World

The first super magic that Merlin learned was called Hogarth's Ancient Body.

That is defensive magic learned from the Supreme Mage.

Before entering the Heavenly Father, this magic was very useful. No matter what kind of difficult opponent Merlin faced, the ancient body could resist at least one fatal injury for him.

However, after being promoted to Heavenly Father, the ancient body became a little tasteless.

Facing opponents like Odin and Marduk, the ancient body can barely block their casual blows.

In the face of weak enemies, Merlin, as the heavenly father, has too many ways to resolve the battle before being hit, and it is impossible to stay where he is and be beaten by the enemy.

So the practical magic of the ancient body was shelved.

Merlin's most commonly used ultra-level magic is Cytorak's crimson girdle.

That magic didn't have any lethality, but it had top-notch restraint and enemy control effects. Even Odin, once entangled in the crimson girdle, it would be difficult to escape in a short time.

But now the point is not this

The point now is that after Merlin was sucked into the special space by the Book of Weishandi, the huge tiger that appeared in front of his eyes had almost exactly the same energy flow as Hoggs' ancient body when the super-level magic was released.

That kind of subtle manipulation of space, super-dimensional energy.

The identity of the tiger in front of him is self-evident.

hogs

The foreign demon god, one of the original spirit bodies of the universe.

According to the supreme mage, the book of Emperor Weishan is the foundation of Kama Taj and the source of inheritance.

That is to say, the living tiger in front of you is also the source of Karma Taj's inheritance?

It's the first time to meet you, and I salute you, Your Excellency Hogarth.

Merlin politely bowed to the mysterious spirit tiger.

The latter tilted his head, then shook his body like a cat after a bath. It snorted, took a step back, and lay down in front of Merlin.

Like a moving mountain.

Merlin noticed that when the tiger's fur fluttered, the space around it would be quickly cut open and healed quickly. Those black and white spots of light represented the tiger's absolute control over the space.

What a powerful boss! I can't afford to provoke him.

You learned my magic.

The tiger yawned, and while flipping its sharp teeth and tongue, it spit out human words.

A deep voice echoed in this ruin-like space, it said:

You still hold the book of Emperor Weishan, and you can enter Weishandi's domain without being summoned. So, are you the heir of the ancient little girl?

I'm not.

Merlin hesitated for a moment, he did not choose to deceive, but said frankly:

I am friends with the Supreme Master. She entrusted me to help her find a successor. As for this book, she sent it here and asked me to keep it on her behalf.

A mere Heavenly Father can also be the custodian of Emperor Weishan's book?

As soon as Merlin finished speaking, a lazy woman's voice sounded in the space.

Beside Tiger Hoggs, golden rays of light spilled out like the morning sun, and those rays of light converged into a slim female figure.

The dark-haired woman who came out of the light shook her hair, folded her arms, stretched her long legs, and sat on Hogarth's silky fur.

She looked at Merlin with pure white eyes.

Although he didn't say it directly, the contempt was quite frank.

This woman has a golden flame on her forehead, like a very special decoration, jumping in front of her forehead.

Another big shot with unknown strength appeared on the stage, and she seemed to have a good relationship with the big tiger Hogarth.

Ao Shutu, be polite to him.

Hoggs, the big tiger lying on the ground, said:

Although he is a little weaker, but he has learned my magic, and he can be regarded as my inheritor to give me face.

snort.

The woman named Ao Shutu turned her face away and snorted again.

Merlin noticed that the area around the lady had a flame-like glow, but it was not hot, like a flame configuration.

It is the interpretation of the phenomenon of flames at the symbolic level.

Hey, boy.

Ao Shutu's exquisite nose twitched. She seemed to smell something disgusting from Merlin. She raised her chin and asked:

You smell like primordial black magic! Have you ever been in contact with Sithorn?

Sithorne

Merlin's eyes twitched.

He does have the creation of the ancient evil god who is known as the origin of black magic in his hand, and the book of darkness is still stored in the storage room of the mysterious house.

But he dared to express his dislike of the Great Phantom of the Evil God so bluntly, and this kind of familiar tone

Needless to say, this is Ms. Ao Shutu, and there is a high probability that she is also an ancient evil god, who may have been born in the same era as the Great Shadow Sithorn.

The big boss can't afford to mess with it.

What happened to Karma Taj?

Merlin complained.

It's okay to worship an extraterritorial demon god like Hogarth. After all, Hogarth doesn't look like that kind of dark demon god, but this not-so-good-tempered Aoshutu

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a positive character, does it?

After thinking about it, Merlin answered frankly:

Yes, Ms. Oshutu, Sithorn's Dark God Book is in my hands.

Dark divine book?

The lazy big tiger Hoggs raised his head abruptly, he and Ao Shutu looked at each other, and said:

You haven't seen it yet, have you?

No.

Merlin replied.

That's good.

Hoggs put his head on his own claws, and the sharp claws that tore through the space slowly retracted into the furry claws.

it says:

Then you don't have to die.

This sentence moved Merlin's heart, and the ancient spirit body Oshutu beside Hogarth also said coldly:

The Book of Emperor Weishan and the Book of Darkness are absolutely opposites!

Since you have opened the Book of Weishandi, you can no longer read the Dark God Book. Once we find that you have obtained black magic knowledge from the Dark God Book, we will kill you immediately.

This is a sharply worded warning.

Merlin nodded expressionlessly. In fact, even without Ao Shutu's warning, Merlin would not read the Dark Book of God.

That book claims to be omniscient, seemingly generous enough to give any knowledge it needs to any bearer, but what it gives is nothing compared to what it takes away.

Merlin didn't believe that the previous owner of the Dark Book, the weak black wizard Neko Rodamus, had been crazy to interfere with the truce from the very beginning.

That black wizard is undoubtedly a cowardly guy who is good at protecting himself, but how did he come up with such a crazy idea step by step?

And why did he go step by step into a world that he shouldn't go deep into?

This is definitely a question worth pondering.

The generous gift given by the dark divine book has already secretly marked the price.

Merlin is indeed eager for new knowledge, but unfortunately, he cannot afford the price of those gifts.

Okay, Oshutu, don't be so harsh.

At the moment when Merlin, Hoggs, and Ao Shutu were speechless, in Weissandi's special space, the last big boss who came late appeared.

Behind Merlin, in the dark and shining shadow curtain, a bald man wearing a black monk's robe in the style of Karma Taj and holding a staff stepped out of the black light.

On the back of the robe on his body, a big three-eyed emblem is printed there.

Unlike the foreign demon god Hoggs and the ancient evil spirit Oshutu, this is a human being!

A human spirit body still retains the posture and appearance of his life, but since this human being can appear in this space with Hogarth and Ao Shutu, it means that he has the same power as the tiger and the evil spirit. A tremendous strength.

far beyond the power of the Father.

Hello, Merlin.

The bald wizard came to Merlin with a cane like dead wood, and he said to Merlin in a gentle tone:

I have heard about the strange origin of this universe from Gu Yi, and I also know the work she left for you. My companions and I will assist you. By the way, I forgot to introduce myself.

The bald man held out his hand to Merlin, and he said:

My name is Agamotto, the first supreme mage, the all-seeing eye.

Hearing this self-introduction, Merlin was immediately in awe.

He stretched out his hand to hold Agamotto, and said:

I heard the legend about you from Master Gu Yi.

That's all in the past.

Agamotto is not as cold as the other two guys. He still seems to retain his personality as a human. He said to Merlin:

The chatting can be left for later, let us focus on your task now.

When Gu Yi left this pocket universe, he purposely left the phantom of the Book of Weishandi in the main universe here just for this moment. Listen to me, Merlin.

Agamotto walked a few steps forward, Ao Shutu was standing on his left, and Hoggs was lying on his right.

Leaning on his staff, the first supreme mage said solemnly:

The three of us together form a powerful force named 'Visandi', which is also the source of Kama Taj's inheritance.

In the main universe, the power we can mobilize is at the multiverse level, but in this pocket universe, we cannot physically appear in the plane of reality.

We can only help you in this special space in the Book of Weishandi, and assist you in completing the selection of the next supreme mage.

After you complete this important work, we will also give you the reward you deserve according to Gu Yi's instructions.

etc!

Merlin raised his hand and interrupted Agamotto's narration. He raised his head and said seriously:

Before I say this, I have a doubt. Everyone, do you know the truth of this universe?

we know.

The tiger Hoggs lying on the ground scratched his face with his paws, and said lazily:

The melting pot of this universe has not yet been ignited. Everything that exists is between reality and illusion. In terms that you humans can understand, the future of everything is in an unpredictable quantum state.

Then what's the point of you helping me do all this?

Merlin says:

I am not trying to shirk my work, I am happy to complete it, that is my promise to Master Ancient One.

But the problem is that even if we elect a qualified successor, once the cosmic furnace is ignited from the outside, everything that exists in this world will still be destroyed.

Then ignite it from within.

The bald mage said calmly:

Ancient One doesn't want this very promising universe to return to ruins and be treated as a mere refuge. She hopes to see this universe grow healthily and eventually become a part of the multiverse.

She entrusted us to help her with this matter. It is for this reason that she asked you to choose her successor. A supreme mage who can travel through the worlds can help you collect enough cosmic power to use as firewood. Light the cosmic furnace.

When you ignite the furnace with your own hands, this first era between fiction and reality will continue in a real state.

Merlin showed a look of surprise.

But there was nothing in his heart.

He had already learned this method from Oneiroi before.

Now, from the answer of the Trinity Weishandi, he can confirm one thing.

The mighty Emperor Weishan didn't know the connection between him and the Oneiroi.

This is a good thing, with Oneiroi's unrevealed trump card, Merlin is not shy in the face of Emperor Weissandi who is far stronger than him.

The phantom left by Master Ancient One will dissipate after persisting for at most 2 years.

Merlin says:

I have selected 3 candidates for the throne of the Supreme Mage, and Gu Yi's phantom seems to have selected several candidates within Karma Taj. In theory, the battle for the Supreme Mage can begin now.

very good.

Trinity Emperor Weishan nodded at the same time.

Agamotto said:

Then we will start to set up the battlefield for the supreme mage battle. It will take at least 6 months to open up a special world. You can continue to select candidates before the battlefield is shaped.

Um.

Merlin nodded, and he asked again:

Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?

strength!

The ancient evil spirit Ao Shutu with arms folded said coldly:

Ancient One chose you. She thinks you are the best candidate to ignite the cosmic furnace, but your current strength is far from enough. As a heavenly father, you can't even touch the space where the cosmic furnace is stored.

To withstand the burning of the fire of creation, you must at least reach the single universe, which is also the limit of power that this pocket universe can evolve to before the furnace is ignited.

We'll help you.

Agamotto glanced at Hoggs, the big tiger at hand, and said:

You have accepted Hogarth's inheritance, it will give you the knowledge you need and improve your strength, but it also requires you to practice hard.

I will.

Merlin says:

Thank you for your assistance.

Oshutu and Agamotto nodded in response, their figures dissipated in the golden and black light.

And the big tiger Hoggs stood up from where he was, and while shaking his smooth fur, he said to Merlin:

Release a spell and let me see.

Merlin stretched out his hand, slid his fingers half a circle in the air, and then tapped lightly on the air in front of him.

The invisible space was like a jumping square, spinning rapidly before his eyes, and soon disappeared into nothingness, the magic of the ancient body was released extremely skillfully.

The big tiger looked at this scene, its beard was beating, showing a ferocious smile that a beast should have.

it says:

Not bad.

You can use the ancient body so skillfully, you must have put in a lot of effort, but you have to know, Merlin, space, it can not only be used for defense, it can also be used for offense.

I will teach you what is a real ancient body, my human apprentice.

The big cat-like tiger raised its claws, and where its claws passed, there were 5 uneven black claw marks, which were easily torn apart.

Now, keep your eyes open and cheer up

It's class time!
