Chapter 633: 633 In the roots of the Mother Tree .
*PA*
The roots cracked, green liquid spurting out of them .
Mother Tree's tired voice echoed . "The polluted energy of the Nightmare Realm… If not for the green crystal, I would've never helped him…"
"You sent him to the surface in time . The King of Dark Wizards' power is increasing every minute . You would've taken more damage if he stayed here for too long," a male voice interrupted .
"I still need to rest for a couple hundred years…" Mother Tree sounded helpless . "I didn't know there was a dark wizard like him on the surface . My blood started boiling when he entered the underground world . "
"Have some rest now . I'll stay with you," the man said in a gentle voice .
"Sure . "
*************************
Several years later .
Somewhere deep in the Gem Sea .
The bottom of the sea was endless; there was a blue crystal palace standing in the center of the gray ground . There were four silver spikes on top of the palace, which bright white light was coming out of .
In the main hall of the palace, there was a middle-aged man with a white fan in his hand . The man had blond hair, blue eyes, and pink lips . There was also a ring in his chin . The man was talking to his guests through energy particles with a smile on his face .
There were two groups of guests in the main hall . Most of them were creatures like octopuses, crabs, centaurs; there were not many human beings . Some of them were naked and the rest was wearing human outfits .
The guests were all talking to each other; it seemed like a lot of them knew the people here .
Suddenly, a female voice came from outside .
"Dark Wizard King of Ramsoda is here!"
The guests all stopped chatting after hearing those words .
A man in tight black armor slowly appeared at the entrance of the hall . The man had long red hair, which was flying in the water . He was Angele—he came to the palace from Ramsoda .
Angele's appearance changed slightly . One of his red eyes turned blue and both of his eyes were glowing . They looked quite strange .
The man in front of the guests stood up and laughed .
"It was not Cinderella who invited you here . I have something that needs your help with . " He clapped his hands .
Angele entered the hall and sat down on the right . The guests in the hall all nodded and greeted him .
There were around ten guests in the hall . They heard the man clap and realized that the man had something that he needed to discuss with Angele in private, so they stood up and left .
Only two guests stayed in the hall and there was a total of four people left .
Angele looked to the other side and noticed that there was a tall fish man in the seat . The fish man, who had a pair of glowing dark eyes, was eating a lamb leg . The fish man noticed that Angele was looking at him and smiled .
"Atlanta, who are they?" Angele looked at the middle-aged man .
"Let me introduce them to you . " Atlanta smiled . "This is the god of the Echinate Whales, Leonard . "
"Echinate Whale?" Angele was a bit surprised . He still remembered the day he saw the Echinate Whale for the first time . He looked at the fish man, who smiled at him again .
"I assume you know the Echinate Whales, King of Dark Wizards . You didn't know we can shrink, right? To be honest, without Cinderella's help, I don't think this is possible," Leonard spoke in a loud voice . "Nice to meet you by the way . " He glanced at Angele .
"The Gem Sea is enormous and it's understandable that you don't shrink yourselves…" Angele smiled . "Sorry, who are you?" He looked at the other guest .
The other one was a young woman with no clothes on her body . Her long hair looked like hissing black snakes . Also, the woman's eyes were eye-catching . It was a pair of gray eyes that looked like two stone balls .
"I'm the Queen of the Medusas . You can call me Sofia," the woman responded in a light tone .
"I didn't meet any Medusa when I was in the underground world . I didn't expect to meet one here . " Angele observed the Queen carefully .
The Queen's brow furrowed . She did not say anything else and closed her eyes .
Atlanta's brow also furrowed slightly .
"Alright, it's about the time . Since the King of Dark Wizards is here . I'll explain my plan . "
He clapped his hand and released some invisible energy waves .
The entrance of the palace closed slowly .
"The Queen just came back from the Time Realm, but I think she's already noticed the problem . " It sounded like Atlanta was talking to himself .
Medusa nodded . "That's why I'm here . I want to know what the guardians are thinking . "
Leonard put down the lamb leg and started listening as well .
Atlanta chuckled . "It's nothing serious . The Sea Flowers are going to blossom and they attracted some realm monsters from the Time Realm . That's why I invited you here . "
"Sea Flowers, huh?" It seemed like Leonard was interested .
"They are treasures to us . I didn't expect them to blossom again so soon . "
Atlanta nodded .
"Excluding the ones from the sealed land, you're the strongest beings of the wizard world . Cinderella and the royal members of the three-eyed race are not coming . With your help, our chance of winning the competition will be higher . "
"Sea Flowers are treasures to the beings living in the sea but I don't really need them . " Angele pursed his lips and sent the words using energy particles .
"I understand, but the thousand-headed birds have something that Cinderella needs . You're still having trouble with the mark, right? That's why I asked you to come," Atlanta responded using energy particles .
"Thousand-eyed birds…" Angele narrowed his eyes . "I can use other materials as a replacement, right?"
"Of course, but the thousand-eyed birds are the best . "
Atlanta explained and started talking to the other two . It seemed like they were also negotiating .
Angele started thinking .
In the last several years, Angele gained a deeper understanding of the power of time and the power of dimension . Cinderella promised him that she would make a potion to remove the mark, but she did not say when the potion would be finished .
Atlanta and Cinderella all had the power level of a rank 8 wizard . Leonard and Medusa had the power level of a rank 7 wizard . Strong beings like them all had one common problem—they did not care about time .
100 years were nothing to them .
Angele hesitated for a while and started talking with Atlanta through energy particles again .
"Atlanta, I think you know that I don't have much time left . If it'll take a long time, I'd rather go for other options . So, you must give me an accurate time if you want me to join . Cinderella is close to you, and everyone knows that . "
Atlanta nodded .
"I understand your situation and I know that this is the last material you need . I promise you that you'll get the potion after the mission is completed . We can sign a contract if you don't trust me . "
"I have a seed of the fountain here . We can sign a contract . " Angele was waiting for Atlanta to talk about the contract .
A bitter smile appeared on Atlanta's face .
"Well… How many realms is this fountain connected to?"
"Four realms, I believe . "
Atlanta shook his head . "That's like handling the pressure from four realms…"
"There are so many realms in this universe . Signing the contract doesn't mean you have to keep your promise . If you become an ancestor, the contract will be like nothing to you . "
"Yeah, right…" Atlanta was speechless .
"Talking about the ancestors . Another injured ancestor is in this area—this is the third injured ancestor from the Chaos Realm . The ancestors still have different power levels and their special abilities can be countered . They can still be severely injured when they know too much about each other . "
"The war of the Chaos Realm already lasted for hundreds of years and none of the ancestors died, also…" Angele suddenly stopped after he realized something . "You mean, the ancestors' special abilities are what makes them different?"
"Well, in the ancient times, only ancestors with extremely powerful abilities could kill other ancestors during a war," Atlanta explained . "To become an ancestor, you need to be able to control time and dimension . You also need to find out the secret of the origin . The special abilities will make you different; they decide how strong of an ancestor you are . "
"Can we, like… You just said there was a severely injured ancestor, right?" Angele did not finish the question .
"Don't even think about it . No matter how weak an ancestor is, he can still kill us in the blink of an eye . " Atlanta shook his head .
"Only two strong beings became ancestors by killing injured ancestors . Their bodies were different . Their bodies were so big that they were larger than average-sized realms . "
Angele remained silent for a while and continued, "If I can control the time and dimension, how do I get my own special ability?"
"I don't know . I can already control the time and dimension . The origin is also not a problem for me . After the war ends, I'll go to the world intestine of the Chaos Realm . I may have a chance to finish the last step . " Atlanta was not trying to hide his progress . "Many rank 8 beings failed at the last step . They turned into the nutrients of the realm and were removed from the history . In another world, if you can go to the world intestine of the strongest realm, you'll get the strongest special ability . "
Atlanta sighed with mixed emotions .
"We all know what need to do to become an ancestor, but we're all afraid of losing everything . "
Angele remained silent after hearing those words .
