Master Changsheng

Chapter 159, Section 156: Not even as good as a single hair

Finally, the representative of the Wasteland Mage Association led the members of the association away in a small boat, about 100 meters long and powered by magic stones.

no way.

I'm not as skilled as them!

He's far from being able to instantly cast a level 3 or higher Fireball spell!

Let alone instantaneous.

His Fireball spell is still at the first tier.

It is only a dozen centimeters in diameter.

According to the theory of the Mage Association, the higher the level of a spell, the better its effect is not necessarily true.

However, the fact that Arken could elevate a basic first-tier, level-one fireball spell to level three or higher demonstrates his exceptional talent and abundant resources…

Furthermore, the power of the Fireball spell in Arken's hands is quite considerable!

Judging from the small sample, Aris, the representative of the Mage Association, could not imagine just how strong Arken really was.

At the same time, how many resources did he expend to reach his current level of strength...?

He had heard his teacher say that their Wilderness Mage Association was inferior to them.

Ares was still somewhat unconvinced.

At this moment, Aris was filled with mixed feelings, and his face showed bitterness.

It's not that he's inferior; it's that he can't see the direction to catch up...

And so, Aris led over a hundred members of the Wasteland Mage Association, searching aimlessly in the vast ocean.

If Aken hadn't given him a "coordinate" before he set off, Aris would probably have been lost in the vast ocean.

Although Ares was aimlessly drifting, his direction was towards the isolated island where Chaos City was located, following the path of the Kingdom of Shak…

Two days later.

While Aris was on the top deck of the ship, pondering the vast difference between himself and Arken, he suddenly received a message from his men…

"My lord! There's an island ahead!"

"island?!"

Ares was taken aback. He remembered clearly that before setting off, the president of the Wilderness Mage Association told him that the first level of the Divine Court was a boundless ocean.

Even Arken, who came from the headquarters of the Eastern Continent Mage Association, said that the first level of the Divine Court was a vast ocean with nothing else in it.

There is absolutely nothing else present.

The location of the Heart of Poseidon is also situated beneath the vast ocean.

At the time, the president of the Buddhist Association assured Aris that he should focus his attention on the area below the ocean.

Aris has been doing this all along, sending his men to infiltrate the ocean daily to explore...

Just then, he suddenly heard his subordinates tell him that there was an island in the vast ocean?!

He was quickly brought to the window.

I rubbed my eyes and looked at it again and again…

"It really is an island..."

"So, the chairman and Arken are both wrong?!"

"Could this island have been formed because of the Heart of the Sea God?"

Thinking of this, Aris's breathing suddenly became rapid.

"If...if I could obtain the Heart of the Sea God, would Arken still be my match?"

"No, by then, Arken won't even be worthy to carry my shoes!"

After only a moment's thought, Ares gave the order: "Approach the island!"

The boats and the islands appear close, but in reality, they are quite far apart.

After sailing for two hours, Aris's ship finally approached the shore of the small island.

As far as the eye could see, Aris also saw some collapsed ruins…

Amidst the ruins, Aris faintly sensed the presence of magical elements. He also clearly saw, among the rubble, a character for "god," only half of it remaining…

"God...God's Court!"

"This is the ruins of the Divine Court!"

In an instant, Aris's breathing quickened. This vague information, which he had deduced through his own reasoning, made him even more convinced.

He was just about to call people off the boat when he suddenly stopped.

The subordinates that the Mage Association assigned to him were not just people from his own faction.

There are also subordinates from other factions.

We're usually like family.

At this moment, Aris felt that they should keep some distance from each other.

Standing at the bow of the ship, Aris selected his men and, ignoring their resentment, forcefully ordered the rest to remain on board.

The moment Aris and his men stepped ashore, Ankai, far away in the House of Goodness, learned of their arrival through the "mother-child detector" developed and upgraded by the detector merchant Andoron.

On the shore, the data detected by the "child detectors" among the many "mother and child detectors" he had set up would be reflected on the "mother detector".

It must be said that the big fat Andorn is very talented when it comes to detectors.

Seeing the attributes displayed by the detector, An Kai muttered to himself, "[Forging God], huh..."

Upon arriving at the castle courtyard, he called Wayne over: "Get ready, our guests have arrived!"

Wayne looked solemn; it was time to review his achievements!

...

"It really is the Divine Court!"

"The magical elements residing there are different from ours!"

Ares held a piece of stone with only half of the character "God" remaining in his hand. After some contemplation, he learned the answer.

That's definitely different.

This is rubble created by Ankai using the Heart of the Sea God…

It is accurate to say that it carries the aura of the Divine Court.

Just then, Aris suddenly sensed an aura similar to the rubble in his hand coming from ahead.

A look of delight crossed his face as he followed the aura...

...

Aris ahead.

The twenty-eighth prince of the orcs, Gulair, wielded a long whip, lashing out at two orcs known for their speed and strength.

The orc was carrying two mid-grade magic stones whose aura had been infected by Ankai using the Heart of the Sea God…

Snapped!

As the long whip fell, the twenty-eighth orc prince, Gulair, roared, "Faster! Faster!"

"You've messed up the adults' affairs; you'll pay with your lives!"

...

Aris pondered for only a second before leading his men toward the source of the aura…

Following the scent, they ran for half an hour before Aris and his men arrived at a collapsed ruin...

The ruins exude a powerful aura of "the power of heaven and earth"!

Such an existence was something Aris had never seen before in his entire life!

In just a moment, he felt the surging aura of "power of heaven and earth" rushing towards him!

The reason Aris had this feeling was because this was the place where Ankai received the "power of heaven and earth" every day...

The aura that Ares had just sensed disappeared into these ruins.

He drew his staff and walked towards the ruins, fully alert...

Arrive at the entrance.

A scroll appeared before Ares…

[Voluntarily join the Divine Court Contract]

[Note: Please sign this contract carefully. After signing, you will become a disciple of the Divine Court and be able to see the true "Divine Court"!]

"The Divine Court!"

Aris couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

First, he waved to his men to stop following.

He stood before this [contract]...

Information about the [contract] exists in my mind.

No matter how I thought about it, there was no information about the [contract].

However, Aris suddenly thought of something.

In all the records about the Divine Court, no one has ever mentioned becoming a disciple of the Divine Court!

Thinking of this, Aris's breathing became even more rapid!

"Am I...am I the only disciple of the Divine Court?!"

Aris's eyes lit up; he felt as if a broad and promising road had been laid out before him...

Unbeknownst to him, ever since he entered this area, a dim light, mixed with the phantom of city ruins, had enveloped him…

Reason is dwindling in my mind.

Right now, his mind is filled with thoughts about "the sole disciple of the Divine Court!"

Aris could no longer bear it and stepped forward to grab the [Contract]. From the [Contract], he sensed the presence of the "God of Law" and the "God of Contract".

Aris was completely relieved...

I carefully signed my name on the contract...

I thought that after signing my name, I would step into the real "Divine Court"...

however…

A young figure suddenly appeared and, before Aris could react, took the [Contract] from his hand.

In front of Aris, he quickly modified the contents of the contract.

Aris was about to make a sarcastic remark...

His expression suddenly froze...

"You...you can modify the contents of the contract?!"

"Who are the God of Law and the God of Contract to you?!"

"What...what happened...?"

Ares wanted to rebel, but Ankai modified the first clause of the contract to read: "Respect the other party as a god, and you shall not disobey, harbor resentment, or rebel."

In just half a minute, Ankai filled in the blank [Contract].

Aris is even worse off than someone who signed a contract to sell himself into servitude.

At this point, he was essentially a slave of Ankai…

Ankai nonchalantly put away the [Contract], his face bearing a striking resemblance to Hanks in his youth, revealing a set of white teeth as he chuckled and said:

"The God of Law and the God of Contract are my good brothers, so what?"

...

Aris remained silent.

It wasn't that he was deliberately silent.

Instead, he wanted to swear, but the terms of the contract restricted him.

If he were to verbally abuse Ankai, the God of Law and the God of Contract would punish him according to the terms of the [Contract]...

Aris even sensed that behind the God of Law and the God of Contract, there was another powerful being protecting Ankai's [Contract]...

At this moment, Aris couldn't even think about why the Gods were willing to let Ankai modify the contents of the [Contract].

The reason is simple: the contract clearly states, "No investigation is permitted!"

Ankai walked slowly to Aris's side in the dim light.

As for the mages behind Aris…

With a thought, 20 enormous [Fireballs], each 30 meters in diameter and resembling magma, appeared above An Kai's head!

The moment it appeared, it crashed down on those mages...

A terrifying fireball spell rained down, engulfing the mages Aris had brought.

These fireballs could explode violently in the blink of an eye!

"What is this code?!"

Ares' eyes widened in horror, his mouth agape, unable to utter a word...

Ankai sensed Aris's thoughts through the [contract].

He turned his head and answered casually, "Fireball, what's wrong?"

"You guys from big cities, don't you even recognize fireball?"

A hint of disdain appeared on his face…

Aris seemed numb.

I don't know what shock is.

Even someone like Arken, who came from a top-tier human mage association, had never seen such a monstrous "Fireball" spell before?!

Aris pointed at Ankai's nose and shouted angrily, "Do you even know what you're doing?!"

Before Aris could calm down, Ankai grabbed him by the neck like a chick, and in a flash, he appeared in front of the [Fireball] spell that Aris had just cast.

"Test your limits, how much can you withstand?"

Ares was taken aback, and uttered his first words after signing the [contract]...

"My lord... I did nothing wrong, surely I don't deserve to die?"

With a pained expression, Aris looked as if he was about to cry.

He didn't do it on purpose, but people could die!

People can really die!

There are several of those explosive fireballs left; one of them could take him down...

"So weak?"

Suddenly, An Kai realized that he was being too attentive to these outsiders.

From the side quests, An Kai learned the identities of these people, each one more outrageous than the last.

That's why he had Wayne prepare this series of measures.

Despite An Kai's full confidence in his own abilities.

Seeing how weak Aris was, Ankai took a few steps back...

With a thought, the [Elemental Ice Armor] appeared!

Combined with the pressure from [Mage Body: Lv5] and [Lord-level NPC], Ankai found himself in complete darkness.

Like a walking demon, he appeared naked in front of Aris!

"Attack me with all your might!"

He prepared to continue testing Aris's attack power. His defense was weak, which might be related to Aris being a mage...

Glug...

Aris swallowed hard.

He stood there, stunned, unsure of what to do...

"Let's do it!"

With a loud shout from Ankai, Aris raised his staff, trembling as he chanted the incantation, unleashing his most powerful spell…

"Flame Dragon!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a five-meter-long, fiery dragon resembling a giant lizard roared and charged towards An Kai.

The moment you enter the area of ​​Ankai's [Freezing] spell...

This fifth-tier, tenth-level spell then fell silent...

"this one?"

An Kai was dumbfounded; the formidable [Flame Dragon] vanished the moment it entered the [Freezing Spell]'s domain…

He moved in a flash, appearing in front of Aris, grabbing him by the neck and lifting him up: "You dare not use your full strength?!"

Aris, his face flushed, kicked his legs and stammered with all his might, "M-Master...uh...I used...all my strength!"

An Kai suddenly loosened his grip.

Frowning.

boom!

Ares fell to the ground, mouth agape, greedily inhaling the surrounding air.

He felt so wronged.

His strength is clearly too...abnormal!

He even blamed himself for not using his full strength...

An Kai stood still, realizing that he was indeed too nervous about these outsiders.

Their strength was indeed beyond our expectations.

However, it's not strong, but weak...

"What is your identity? Tell me clearly."

...

Half an hour later.

Aris led his men back onto the ship.

The memory of what happened half an hour ago is still lingering in my mind…

He had never seen anyone so powerful!

And that person was merely a spirit-possessed individual!

Compared to the spells in An Kai's hands, his own magic made him seem like a fake mage.

And as a prodigy of the Desolate Domain Mage Association, Aris experienced disdain for the first time in his life…

"You're a piece of trash. You're not even as useful as a fifth-tier mage in my own mage guild."

These were Ankai's exact words. Aris felt extremely wronged. He thought to himself, "Even though you are strong, how can your Mage Association be so abnormally powerful?"

Ankai, disgusted by Aris, sent him back to the ship and ordered him to return to the fat man Aken's side. Ankai was preparing to use the [Contract] to sense just how strong the so-called [Six Realms of Slaying] really was.

Then we'll make plans.

One day later.

At the ruins of the Kingdom of Shak, Aris rediscovered that kilometer-long giant ship.

When he climbed onto the deck, he saw Arken using a "fireball spell with a diameter of one meter" to teach his disobedient subordinates a lesson.

Having experienced the baptism of Ankai's [Fireball] spell.

Ares almost laughed out loud, a dismissive thought suddenly flashing through his mind: "That's all?"

"Not even worth a hair on the boss's head!"

After a dismissive laugh, Ares composed himself, thinking to himself, "Boss, that's Arken!"

At that moment, all of Aris's feelings of envy, jealousy, and fear towards Arken vanished.

It changed to: "Arkham is nothing special..."

...

Ruins of the Principality of Nordo.

The Orc King, leading three Mighty Orcs and 15 Spirit-Enchanted Orcs, rescued 104 witches from the dwarves.

As Widow Wang continued to express her gratitude, the Beastman King waved his hand and said, "Thank your master. This was all arranged by your master."

The Orc King smiled from the bottom of his heart.

He still remembered the expressions on the faces of the 104 witches when he suddenly appeared just moments before, when the group of ugly dwarves tried to force themselves on them.

Surprise and confusion.

The ugly dwarfs didn't even realize what was happening until they took action themselves.

They shouted, "We are both considered alien races by humans, so why are we fighting each other with swords?!"

The Orc King laughed.

His master is Ankai, a member of the Chaos City faction, and he is not the same kind of person as these ugly dwarves!

On her self-built ship in Chaos City, the Widow Wang embraced each of the witches one by one.

Suddenly, she remembered something, her expression turned serious, and she quickly reminded them, "After you return to the city with me, you must not go near the castle. That's where the Lord of Chaos City resides!"

Widow Wang had some ulterior motives in giving this reminder.

She feared that her people would become Ankai's playthings...

She had seen it with her own eyes; this guy was no responsible, good person...

...

Ruins of the Principality of Bukrin.

Beneath the vast ocean.

The city that once stood there has vanished.

Instead, they turned into bottomless pits.

At this moment, 20 people dressed in long robes, each holding a small six-pointed star array, were exploring the seabed.

The group walked on the seabed with ease, showing no signs of strain.

The surrounding ocean currents dispersed automatically upon encountering them…

Before long, a six-pointed star array lit up in someone's palm...

"My lord! We've found it!"

A figure flashed and appeared in front of the speaker.

"It really disappeared!"

The man frowned, sensing his surroundings.

In the pitch-black seabed, he was like a beacon of light.

He was none other than the person from the "organization" that provided Donglin with resources in the secluded forest.

—Hall, a former seventh-tier professional powerhouse!

After Donglin awakened the Divine Court, his strength was stripped away by the "Organization," reducing him to an ant at the peak of the Forging God realm.

He was ordered to enter the Divine Court to atone for his sin of not discovering Donglin's true intentions.

As a member of the "organization" that stole the most from the "Divine Court," he knew more than the average person.

At the start of the first level of the Divine Court, the Heart of the Sea God will immediately search for a "puppet" to conceal its presence and to mask its own revival.

This person wasn't chosen randomly...

He didn't know the conditions, but he had a goal.

Coincidentally, the "organization" issued the same task.

"Donglin is dead. Find 'Ankai,' and use the method of searching for spirits to find out all his information. Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free. Donglin mentioned Ankai last, so he must have extraordinary abilities!"

"If necessary, we can use weaknesses such as Ankai's family members to break through the barrier of the God-Searching Realm!"

Hall stood still, pondering for a moment, and received a response from the six-pointed star array in his hand.

Eyes lit up, direction chosen…

"Found you!"

The direction Hall was pointing in was none other than the isolated island where Chaos City was located!

Does anyone know how to make a map?

I want to create a current map.
