Abe the Wizard

Back in the Era of Gods, Wizard Basham did not harm the elves, and had even kept the Moon Goddess alive after defeating the Goddess of Valor.

In fact, he had even raised their status in the God Alliance, considering how weak they were.

The most powerful profession the elves had was Druids, and as a race they cared too much about beauty. A species like that found it very hard to survive in the Central Continent, even with the Moon Goddess’s protection. 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m

Wizard Basham ordered the Wizard Union to never interfere with the elves’ habitat. They had always thought it was for the Holy Crystals, but only Wizard Basham knew it was because of the Tree of Life.

The World Stone Heart was meant to work with the Tree of Life, and was his only hope of true freedom!

According to records, the Tree of Life grew the fastest under the care and nourishment of High Elves.

But the High Elves of the Central Continent had disappeared long ago. Still, those normal elves were able to do more than other races.

It was a ten thousand year plan, finally coming to fruition. But at this moment, Abel had stolen the World Stone Heart and signed an equal contract with the Tree of Life!

As he saw it, the Holy Kingdom and the Demon from Beyond were just some hurdles along his journey. What he cared about the most was the World Stone Heart and the Tree of Life.

Anyone who messed with them had to die!

Wizard McPhee burst in, bowing hastily. “Mr. President, we have trouble!”

......

“What?” Wizard Basham frowned.

“We just got a message from the Dragons that Wizard Smith was captured by Headmaster Abel because he said something threatening!” Wizard McPhee said softly.

“What?! Abel captured Wizard Smith?” Wizard Basham almost couldn’t believe himself as he jumped up.

He almost began to question reality. After all, no one would defy the Wizard Union before he had left.

Now a God Rank Wizard sent out using his name was not only rejected, but captured?!

“That’s what Headmaster Eugene relayed to us!” Wizard McPhee added.

Wizard Basham was not an impulsive person, so he quickly calmed himself down and thought for a moment.

“McPhee, I heard from Smith that you were grabbed by a god called Little Bro. How did it feel?” Wizard Basham asked after he regained his cool.

“Mr. President, Little Bro was very fast. He grabbed me and Smith by the neck and fully bound us before we could even react. His energy was so powerful we couldn’t even move our Power of The Will!” Wizard McPhee didn’t want to remember it but he still had to be honest with their president.

“Did it feel like this?” Wizard Basham placed his hand on Wizard McPhee’s shoulder and a powerful energy pressed down.

In an instant, Wizard McPhee lost his mobility. Luckily Wizard Basham only did it for a second before letting off the pressure.

Wizard McPhee thought for a moment and said carefully, “No, this feels more like a suppression by Rank, that felt more like a suppression by energy!”

Wizard Basham’s face sank. He remembered the Demon from Beyond also had that ability.

If you got too close to it, it could suppress any professional by energy alone!

He held back his killing fury and declared grimly, “Abel must die, but not now!”

He wouldn’t even think twice about killing Abel if Abel was weak, but it seemed like Abel had more in store than he had expected. He would be fighting with the Demon from Beyond in ten days. If he used up all his energy, he would be at a disadvantage!

“Then what about Wizard Smith?” Wizard McPhee asked with a shaky voice. They were good friends, and he knew Wizard Smith was in danger.

“Abel won’t let him die. It would do him no good!” Wizard Basham replied.

Wizard McPhee knew Abel had killed many God Ranks and wouldn’t bat an eye at doing so again, but just when he wanted to say something, Wizard Basham waved him off.

Without a choice, he had to bow and step away.

Abel was not expecting Wizard Basham to think too much, but his bravado had actually brought him more time!

————

It had been five days. The eight God Rank knights and thirty-two Half-god Knights in the Holy Kingdom were not feeling well.

All their friends and families had died, but they had no choice but to serve their god.

As the only survivors, these days they could only sit around the empty Central Temple.

As the Demon from Beyond fully reawakened, all the lands, mountains, and rivers in the Holy Kingdom were transformed into energy by the hundred million souls.

The Demon from Beyond’s voice suddenly sounded out as an immense energy pressed down onto the knights, “I will grant you even greater power!”

Afterwards, the eight God Rank Knights’ Inner Worlds were blasted open like bubbles and their energy filled the Holy Kingdom.

Simultaneously, their eyes turned dead and their consciousnesses ceased as their souls flew out.

The only thing remaining was battle instinct as their souls soon reconnected with the Demon from Beyond in a strange way.

In one way, they had grown more powerful in an instant, as they were able to move any energy within the Holy Kingdom. It was just that they wouldn’t be able to experience it except with mere instinct.

Meanwhile, the thirty-two Half-god Knights’ Inner Territories also appeared, and they were forcibly dragged into the Holy Kingdom’s interior while their consciousnesses ceased.

As their energy intertwined, they could now unleash the power of a God Rank, and they no longer had to care about high rank forces suppressing them.

Their state of being was similar to the fish in Wizard Basham’s Inner World, it was just that the Demon from Beyond was a lot more ruthless. At least Wizard Basham had never dragged his fellow wizards into his Inner World!

Those knights were intelligent beings, after all.

Since a professional’s body would slowly turn into energy after they reached Half-god Rank, the process of merging with a Kingdom would be easier the more powerful they were. But of course, not every being beyond rank 40 would be able to do this.

The Demon from Beyond had no choice. He already reached his limit in this world, and faith could only help him recover from his injuries.

The biggest reason he had failed back in the day was because he did not have an Inner World or a God’s Kingdom, and he had been suppressed by the energy of the world.

He could only fly with his wings, which had drastically reduced his potential.

But after a thousand years of cultivating the Holy Kingdom, they were able to turn the area into energy and form a Divine Kingdom.

He was not afraid of losing followers. As long as he could beat Wizard Basham and the Dragon God, every being in this world would be his to take!

Expanding his faithful after that would be simple.

When every being in this world became his follower, he would be able to transform this entire world into his Divine Kingdom, just like he had done with the Holy Kingdom.

The process might take a million years, but he didn’t care. He was an immortal, anyway!

His biggest challenge now were the two powerful figures standing in his way, especially Wizard Basham, whose attacks had clearly grown more powerful.

Suddenly, the Demon from Beyond realized he had made a mistake.

What about his Holy Gear? He had killed the minds of the last forty holy knights before he had even asked them about it.

By this point he basically had no idea who had taken his personal Gear! Was he really going to track them down by scent?

He had been in slumber for thousands of years. His brain was not working properly when he made the decision.

He looked around the Holy Kingdom again; there were still some remaining souls. With a wave, a special energy wrapped around them.

Under his guidance, those souls flew out of the Holy Kingdom.

——

“What is that bastard doing?” Wizard Basham shook his head and mumbled to himself when he saw what was happening.

But since that energy had nothing to do with him, he did not care too much.

When it came to the knowledge of energy, no one in this world even came close to the Demon from Beyond. Just the Light Energy it possessed was enough to make him a master of energy!

The Warding Wall had a hard time even stopping Holy Energy, there was no way it could stop the Light Energy.

——

Like an invisible wave, those souls spread out throughout the Central Continent.

When the Demon from Beyond sensed the Tree of Life, a smile emerged on his face.

He knew what a Tree of Life signified: hope!

If there was a Tree of Life in this world, his dream might come true!

But as he continued, he also sensed many faithful grounds. “Weird, how come there are so many gods in this world?!”

He knew the gods?in this world?had been killed off by the Wizard Union long ago.

Back then there were only six gods fighting against him, and they had all been extremely weak. 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄ｅ𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺

However, at this moment he sensed more than a dozen faithful grounds. What had happened to this world?

As he continued, he finally reached the Golden Castle and sensed Little Bro.

Even with a Divine shell, it was not able to hide its Hell energy from an angel who had battled with Hell for countless years!

“Hell has entered this world?!” The Demon from Beyond was stunned.

He was being called the Demon from Beyond, but he was not an actual demon like Little Bro was.

Fear emerged from his heart as he remembered what had happened back long ago. The angels had lost to Hell after countless years of battle, and he might be the only survivor!
