Manderhawke Plate
âHow is that possible? How could the City of Alabaster have a rank 6 Magus?â A voice of denial sounded from within the dark crowd. The owner of the voice clearly did not expect this, as he thought he had already performed a detailed background check on the City of Alabaster before he dramatically knocked down their door.
However, reality slapped him in the face.
âNothing is impossible! Watch out you old bastard, the one and only consequence for those who offend the interests of the bloodline Warlocks is death!â The monstrous Ouroboros roared with an outburst of terrifying energy. It seemed still as eternity, yet was filled with infinite kinetic energy.
*Rumble!* The earthâs crust shook violently, roaring. Even space itself was warped and the elements were pushed away. The only thing that came out unscathed was the City of Alabaster, which was under the protection of the Ouroboros.
*Pss!* The dark cloud split open, exposing an elderly man in black robes.
âImpossible! How could a rank 6 acquire this power?â The elderlyâs heart was full of regret. If he was given another chance, he would never choose to be Ouroboros Clanâs enemy. Sadly, he would not have the chance to do so.
âGo and repent in the astral plane!â The monstrous serpent swallowed the elder mercilessly, and a terrifying quake shot out. It took over ten minutes for the earth to settle completely.
The phantom of a mountainous infinite serpent shrank, and with a flash of light merged into the body of a teenager with black hair and eyes. These features were proof that he was a pureblood of the Ouroboros Clan.
âMaster!â Lucca and Lukard greeted him respectively.
âMmâ He nodded and disappeared into the air.
âCaptain, could that beâ¦â Lukard asked Lucca with disbelief.
âIf Iâm not wrong, that master should be be the the son of the Monarch of Bloodâs first wifeâ Master Syre! Heâs actually achieved rank 6 at a few hundred years of age! The bloodline of the Master⦠Sighâ¦â Lucca looked at Lukard worriedly, and he could seen a tinge of loneliness from Lukardâs eyes.
âLegend says the pure bloodline of Master Leylin comes with two formsââthe first is infinity, and the second is the world! So, that Master had inherited the bloodline power of infinity?â Lukard felt a sense of desolation. Both he and Syre were about the same age, but Leylinâs sonâs achievements seemed out of his league.
Lucca had no choice but to shout for his attention. âLetâs stop thinking about that, hurry up and escort all the captives in.â
âNo worries, Cap. No matter what bloodline theyâve inherited itâs good for the clan!â Lukard bowed to him with full respect, and soon started to manage the crowd.
Many of the captives were chased inside, while the arrogant teenage captive was totally dumbfounded, stuck in place. Needless to say, the fight caused a sensation. However, Syre just flew straight back into the heart of the city.
âAunt Aegnis!â A noblewoman with elegant hair stood in the living room, the perfect image of a nobility.
âCongratulations, little Syre!â Aegnisâ eyes were full of surprise as she exclaimed, âYou even entered the realm of Breaking Dawn directly. Leylinâs bloodline really is extraordinary⦠â
âThis is nothing to be proud of. After all, my brothers and sisters are just as powerful.â Syre smiled humbly.
âYes, your siblingsâ¦â Aegnis had a benevolent smile on her face.
âIâve still got lots of things to work on. Daniel advanced far before I did!â
âHis path is already fixed, all he needs to do is to stick with the path and keep on upgrading himself. If I were to compare, your effort definitely deserves much more appreciation⦠â Aegnis knew very well the differences between Leylinâs two bloodlines, but either once was terrifying beyond her imagination.
âAnyway, Belinda and Sophia are rather caught up in something, would you like to see them?â
Syre rejected her suggestion. âNo need. Nobody will dare to take any action for at least some time now that that Magusâ plot is ruined. I want to return to the surface and visit Father.â
âHmm⦠Itâs being a long time since I last met that fellow!â Aegnis sounded dissatisfied as she talked about Leylin, and Syre could only smile wryly in response to the past affairs between his elders.
â¦â¦
Within a laboratory in some unknown dimensional void, Leylin opened his eyes. They seemed to flash with black lightning.
*Buzz! Buzz!* Leylinâs body shook, and a layer of stone came loose and fell from the surface of his clothes.
[Beep! The analysis of the World of Godsâ apparatus has been completed! Time spent: 67 years and 13 months. ] The A.I.Chipâs voice faithfully reminded him.
âItâs been over 60 years⦠Together with removing memories and the preparations for the experiments, nearly 300 years have passedâ¦â Leylinâ s handsome face remained just the same as before, as though the power of time was completely lost on his body, âHowever, the wait was extremely worthwhile. I managed to gather the required data.â
Leylin was deep in thought. When he swallowed Beelzebub the power of laws heâd gained had caused great agitation and chaos to his own memories. This was especially true because Beelzebub was an old freak whoâd lived for an unknown length of time. His memories contained all sorts of information, including many secrets about Gods. Leylin did not want to put it to waste, hence heâd had the A.I. Chip record every single thing. It was why it took so long for him to wake up.
âHowever, all my efforts were worth it, I can finally start something practical!â Leylin came to a astral gate with an excited expression on his face.
This specific astral gate was incomparably enormous. On top of that, there were many strange runes on it that included Leylinâs personal comprehensions of the power of laws.
âGods!â An ancient yet dazzling light shot from Leylinâs hand, merging into the huge stone gate.
*Buzz! Buzz!* The entire gat shook violently, and there were even some strange energy undulations in the laboratory. With his powerful soul force, Leylin connected to the entire astral plane in a moment.
The vast sea of stars which were as old as history washed over Leylinâs own soul force. This feeling was rather different than his previous experiences, if not for his near rank 7 soul force the destructive power of the astral plane would have completely erased him.
The splendid nebulae seemed to ebb and flow continuously, distorting numerous rings of stars. It was like Leylinâs body was a huge black hole, engulfing everything around him.
âThis kind of extreme long-distance projection serves to be a great challenge for the soul force of a Magus!â Leylin remained calm, his soul force seemingly indestructible. He sat and watched the galaxies flow away before him. Finally, after what felt like a century, his expression changed as he almost saw the end of the astral river.
âSuch a special feelingâ¦â A simple premonition had Leylin sighing with exclamation, âThe Magus World and World of Gods are like oceans at opposite ends of a galaxy. No wonder those ancient Magi were still attached to this universe.â
In spite of his vast database, Leylin was still awed by the marvelous scenery in front of him after the indescribable sensation faded. There was a dense crystalline wall in front of him, shimmering like a well-constructed beehive. In the astral river, it looked magnificent and infinite.
Within the crystal wall was a radiant light, the light of the Gods!
âUghâ¦â Leylinâs body trembled, and a phantom Targaryen appeared immediately, its slit eyes filled with desire and familiarity.
âThe World of Gods! The world origin force of such a powerful foreign world would be so great⦠Not to mention the law of devouring originates from hereâ¦â Leylin appeared to be rather calm despite every single cell in his body longing for it. Deep in his heart, he maintained his cold determination.
âThis crystal wall system⦠â Leylinâs soul force encircled around the huge crystal wall, feeling the immeasurable depths of its power. âThe culmination of the worlds origin force, and thereâs also the conscients of Gods thereâ¦â
Leylinâs expression turned more solemn the more he sensed, âIt stubbornly rejects everything from outside, and has blocked all connections from the outside world. Itâs as solid as steel, and just as unyieldingâ¦â
With a simple probe Leylin understood clearly that even the creator of this system couldnât destroy it, of that he was pretty sure. âItâs impossible to break through such a system, the only way is to use Beelzebubâs method to smuggle myself inâ¦â
âBeelzebub only needed to leave the World of Gods, and he was a native himself. Itâll be much more difficult for me. Itâs only expected that I had to spend 300 years of simulation to find a safe method of passing throughâ¦
âManderhawke plate!â Layers of virtual light gathered in Leylinâs palm, forming a circular disc.
On the disc were peculiar patterns, especially the huge chipped edge, and it looked like it was bitten off by some unknown creature.
In the memories of Beelzebub, this was the key to secretly pass through the crystal wall system!
âThe main material plane in the World of Gods also had strong isolating power, itâs hard even for the Gods to transfer their powers. It was the same for Beelzebub who was located at the ninth of hellâ¦â
Leylin recalled this bit of information that the A.I. Chip had organised.
