Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1698 Prometheus

Tsk tsk tsk...

Little Hachi stood on Green's shoulder, smacking its little mouth incessantly, as if it had just eaten a big jujube. Its blissful and contented expression was simply irresistible. It was so excited that the fur on its tail stood on end, and its little bottom was sticking up high.

"Damn it! I've been waiting for this day for countless eons! No wonder that stinky bat was so arrogant back then. Damn it, so this is what it feels like! Waaaaah... I'm almost crying with joy! So awesome! After so many eons, the Grimmon breeding project has finally succeeded! This is my dream! My dear Grimmon, Ultimate Grimmon, do you know what it feels like to fulfill your dream?"

Xiao Ba kept babbling on and on.

"That's winning over Ye Ye after a hundred years of relentless pursuit, that's like crossing an iceberg after traversing a desolate world, that's like finding a rat dropping in a stinky bat's soup, that's like finding a giant turtle in a black-haired fish tank, that's like the relief of finally relieving seven days of constipation, that's... the true joy that even a hundred of these things combined couldn't compare to! Waaaaah, waaaaah, I, Eighth Master, am so incredibly happy!"

After muttering excitedly, laughing, crying and laughing to himself, Hachi stretched out his wings, pointed at the Eternal Sky City beneath the water curtain, and roared arrogantly, "Damn it, Seventeenth Round Prometheus, you come out and pay your respects to me! Today, I'm going to take my arrogance to the extreme! What those stinky bats and old bastards couldn't do, I and Grimmon are going to do it all today! Waaaaaah!"

Hachiko's smug, arrogant, and despicable grin was so convincing that you just wanted to slap it across the face with the sole of your shoe; its fur was standing on end from sheer excitement.

Whoosh...

The chaotic energy flow caused a void storm near the wizarding world.

Billions of void worms drifted in the storm, with occasional rifts in distant, unknown spacetime flashing by, carrying the wills of lower beings from distant, unknown spacetime yearning to communicate. But to a higher being like Grimm, these tiny and insignificant wills were beneath his notice; they were nothing more than level four or five beings.

After a brief period of chaos, the water curtain in the sky gradually formed a vortex, and a familiar figure emerged from the vortex and rose into the void.

A transparent crystal coffin, perfectly square.

The crystal coffin contained the body of an exceptionally tall wizard, over three meters tall, bald, with not a single hair on his body, and an unusually agile and well-proportioned physique, containing explosive power.

This person is none other than the ancient seventeen-wheeled mechanical true spirit wizard Prometheus, who once rivaled Antonio, the ten-ringed elemental true spirit wizard of ancient times!

With smooth, clean skin, fair yet possessing masculine strength, Prometheus, in the crystal coffin, gazed at Grin with his sunken, clear, and deep eyes.

"Boy, whether you're a schemer or a power-hungry individual, you'd better get out of my way while I can still control my rage. If you dare touch the Demon Hunting Expedition plan, I'll make everything you have a thing of the past. The rules of the Wizard King can't be changed, so let's just elect a second Wizard King!"

Back at the roundtable conference, Green had already witnessed the majesty of this renowned wizard with hidden depths in the wizarding world.

The first impression that Promilusius gave Grin was that he was a humanoid metal destroyer!

Within the vision of the Face of Truth, due to the special nature of the crystal coffin and the obstruction of its runes, even Grimm could not perceive it in detail. In Grimm's eyes, the original runes of the crystal coffin were not the square-shaped runes that should exist in the endless world dimensions, but rather long, winding lines with a silvery-white metallic color, as if they were elastic, jumping and throbbing like harp strings.

"oops!?"

Before Grimm could speak, Hachiko on his shoulder jumped up, puffing out his whiskers and yelling, "You son of a bitch, you're injured like this and still so arrogant? Grimm, take him down!"

How did you know he was injured?

Green asked in secret through soul communication.

"I was just guessing."

Having received the answer, Green secretly glared at Little Eight, but outwardly maintained a calm, mysterious, and arrogant demeanor. His Day and Night Wings slowly flapped behind him as he spoke in a low voice to the ancient Seventeenth Wheel True Spirit Wizard, Prometheus: "Hehehehe, senior, as a generation of Wizard King, I respect your contributions to the wizarding world and fully agree with your Demon Hunting Expedition plan. However, there is one thing you must understand: proposing, formulating, and executing the Demon Hunting Expedition plan are two completely different concepts. I hope you can understand this."

On the surface, Grimm and Prometheus maintained peaceful communication, but in reality, a silent standoff had already formed between them. The chaotic energy tide of the chaotic void storm was the result of their contest. Even the perpetual motion machine bug of Grimm's Truth Balance Magic Staff flickered and sped up, providing Grimm with a continuous source of energy and keeping him at the peak of his magical power.

After a pause, Green continued, "Senior, the Demon Hunting Expedition is a matter of life and death for the Wizarding World. As the first Wizarding King, I, as the leader of the Wizarding World, will have greater authority to command the entire world, gather all its resources, and mobilize all the True Spirit Sovereigns of the Wizarding Alliance. This will be far more effective in completing the Demon Hunting Expedition than if you were to remotely direct it from within the Eternal Sky City! Relinquish your power and become a member of the Demon Hunting Expedition, carrying out my will. Let us work together to complete this grand plan. What do you say?"

In the calm before the storm, Green asked questions methodically, awaiting Prometheus's answer.

The outside world was as cruel as hell for lower creatures, but at this moment, the narrow space between the two was deathly quiet.

At this moment, it wasn't just a standoff between the two; all the True Spirits and Holy Marks of the entire Wizarding World were secretly observing the situation, holding their breath in concentration.

On one side is the current ruler of the wizarding world, the King of Wizards, and on the other side is the ancient ultimate true spirit wizard who determined the modern course of the wizarding world. The intersection of the two sides may very well determine the development of the wizarding world and even the Wizarding Alliance for several future eras!

Inside the crystal coffin, Prometheus fell silent, his deep, star-like eyes lost in thought, as if contemplating a decision.

Green did not disturb Prometheus, but waited quietly, ignoring Xiao Ba's constant urging in his ear. The black flame on his right little finger kept leaping, and the blood-red shadow under his feet slowly crawled, ready to deal with any changes at any time.

Three hourglasses had passed.

Suddenly, Prometheus seemed to have made his decision, gazing at Grimm and saying in a deep voice, "What if I say no?"

"Hehehehe, I respectfully address you as a senior, you are welcome to try."

Green smiled, his expression hidden beneath the mask of truth, calm and confident of victory.

PS: I'm currently deciding whether to maintain a steady update schedule for a while to build up good karma, or to release a two-day burst of updates to make up for the two days of indirect updates that I was supposed to have during the Lunar New Year holiday.

I don't know if everyone forgave Bailu for yesterday's four updates. I'd like to ask for subscriptions, rewards, monthly tickets, and recommendation tickets to see how it goes. If you forgive Bailu, I'll continue with four updates at 10 am today. If you don't forgive Bailu, I'll save up some good karma first.
