Chapter 735: Conclusion! (2/2)
He knew who he was facing. This was the part of Feinan's Will that had been infected with that Seed of Evil.
And the Hathaway before him was only its representative.
When Lance appeared, he realized that the rumored lifeform in the Evil Spirit Sea wasn't fake. It was just that the supposed frightening existence in the Evil Spirit Sea was Feinan itself.
Everything made sense to him at that point.
He had recalled every detail, and all the scenes were vivid as if they had just happened.
In fact, he had only reached Feinan about a year ago.
Whether it was this life or the previous one, emotionally, he still couldn't accept that all the people in this world had to be destroyed!
Thus, he had made proper preparations.
But the eighteen Evil Spirit Overlords were now standing in front of them.
...
”Lance, you can't kill me. Fighting each other doesn't make any sense.”
”I'll kill Marvin. And then I'll win.”
”But I hate you for preventing me from breaking out from myself. Thus, once I succeed, I'll immediately kill you in the other world.”
Hathaway was still sitting on that throne while the eighteen Evil Spirit Overlords were still looking at the two unmovingly.
The final page of the Book of Nalu was in Hathaway's hands, and without it, Marvin couldn't activate the 4th Fate Tablet that was in his advanced False Divine Vessel.
It seemed like the situation would be quite troublesome to deal with.
Marvin took a deep breath, preparing to make the first move.
In fact, he had prepared himself for battle before setting off with Lance.
The other Gods had no advanced False Divine Vessels, nor were they living in a construct or something like that, the way Lance was. Once they entered the Evil Spirit Sea, they would easily become corrupted.
Thus, only the two of them could participate in this final battle.
Hathaway seemed to already be sure of her victory, yet no expression could be seen on Lance's face.
”The Seed of Evil has to be destroyed, that's our win condition,” he slowly reminded. ”And you know these Evil Spirit Overlords can't do anything in front of me.”
Hathaway stomped harder against the page and sneered, ”But your carefully prepared weapon can't be used. You are paying the price from trying to hide it from me. Do you like the irony?”
Lance softly said, ”Since I planned for it, I definitely have a trump card too.”
”You are taking the loyalty of your followers for granted.”
Marvin was startled when he noticed an Evil Spirit Overlord suddenly make an unexpected move!
That shadow split from Hathaway's group and came to Marvin's side.
The next second, a thin parchment was handed to Marvin.
Tidomas!
Marvin hadn't expected that Lance would have such a plan!
Among the 18 Evil Spirit Overlords, 17 were Gods that had fallen and become corrupted!
But Tidomas was actually the Chromatic Dragon God, Hartson. He had let go of his own name and managed to successfully trick everyone.
And no one could have expected that he was actually a spy for Lance!
But the page of the Book of Nalu in his hand was the genuine final page!
”Sorry, tricking people is one of my strong points.” Tidomas pointed at the page under Hathaway's foot and jeered, ”How is it? Do you like the fake one?”
”You took the path that will lead to your death!” Hathaway burst out with anger.
The entire Evil Spirit Sea raged and rumbled!
”I'm only carrying out a deal.” Tidomas looked at Lance and muttered, ”I already gave you the page of the Book of Nalu, and she is now at her weakest. I hope you can keep your promise.”
”Return me my original strength.”
Marvin smiled bitterly. He wasn't a fool. He understood what had happened.
The last page of the Book of Nalu was in the Evil Spirit Sea. Feinan's Plane Will had wanted to make sure that this one never fell into Lance's hands.
But Lance had already prepared something that would let him gain the upper hand here.
Tidomas' corruption was merely a ruse.
He truly had reached the limit of his lifespan and had needed another way to keep on living.
And when he went to join the Negative Energy Plane, the inflexible Plane Will never would have thought that Tidomas', no, Hartson's important Divine Source was actually in Marvin's hands!
All the way back in the Nightmare Boundary, when Lance's Fairy gave Marvin the advanced False Divine Vessel and Hartson's Divine Source, that plan was already put into motion.
Marvin recalled the many times that he had faced Tidomas. Was he only putting on a show all those times? All those fights and grudges, but he wasn't actually trying to kill him?
This was a real trump card.
He looked at Lance with respect.
Lance just laughed and said, ”When you live as long as I have, you'll be able to see far enough in the future to make such plans.”
”Well, I can hold them for a while, but I need your help.”
The next moment, the Evil Spirit Sea swept over at them. Lance and Tidomas rushed forward!
As for Marvin, he was in the process of merging the last page of the Book of Nalu with the original book!
8th page of the Book of Nalu – Fate!
When all the pages of the Book of Nalu fused together, its shape actually changed into a winged key!
It flew into Marvin's body, and the mark of the Wisdom Goddess could faintly be seen!
The Book of Nalu unlocked the Fate Tablet, and then everything fit into place.
Marvin felt a burst of information overloading his mind!
If not for the False Divine Vessel helping him process this information and knowledge, he might have gone mad from the overload!
As it all rushed through his head, he saw a huge planet-like eye!
He saw large swarms of bug-like lifeforms flying in the sky, plundering and devouring an inhabited planet!
He saw a world where normal Humans had been oppressed by Wizards for three millennia before a slaughterer rose up and drove a mecha into a group of Wizards!
He saw countless skyscrapers rising from the ground. He saw a realm that seemed like a giant bookcase where each book was an entire world!
Each different level was a different dimension that spread before him.
At the same time, the power of the 4th Fate Tablet, which was actually the treasure that Lance had sought out from a higher Universe, instantly filled Marvin's body with power!
With the ever-reliable help of the advanced False Divine Vessel, he could feel that he was getting stronger at an extremely fast rate!
Sodom's Blades even felt the extreme feelings that Marvin was having, and grew excited yet fearful!
He saw the passage to another World!
Although it was only a flash, the Fate Tablet gave him the freedom to go back and forth between the different words!
Because he wasn't a resident of Feinan, he wasn't branded by the will of Feinan and thus could move about freely.
”Quick!”
”Kill her!”
Lance was fighting all the corrupted Ancient Gods in the Evil Spirit Sea.
Despite being the God of Creation, after losing his corporeal body, his strength had diminished by a lot.
Although he could stall for time, he was already at a disadvantage. But that was all he needed to do, since he couldn't take care of the true problem himself anyways.
Marvin threw a final look at Hathaway as she continued to just sit on the icy throne.
”What will happen once I kill her?” He didn't make a move yet, asking this instead.
Lance smiled wryly. ”She and I will die together,” he answered. ”This world will temporarily be thrown into chaos, but rest assured, a new Plane Will will be born.”
”What you are killing now is the Plane Will's Evil Child!”
Hathaway gave Marvin a cold look, before glancing at the daggers in his hands. She looked back up and told him, ”If you kill me, this soul will also scatter.”
”And all the so-called Seers, including that Wisdom Goddess who considers herself to be so smart, will be buried with me.”
Marvin grimaced at the thought of this happening.
He could feel that he was already stronger than ever, and that the newly reborn Hathaway wasn't his opponent.
With just a slash, a disaster could be narrowly avoided, but many people would die because of it.
Hathaway, Lance, Jessica, Kate, Lorie, Wayne.
He didn't like this sort of conclusion.
A flicker flashed deep within his mind!
That was the remaining Wisdom Ability from the Wisdom Goddess.
He examined his own power and finally smiled.
”This might not be the only solution,” Marvin quickly said to Lance. ”When I received all the information from unlocking the tablet, I saw many things. There is some being in the higher Universe that is able to spread Seeds of Evil, and there is also its opposite.”
”You lacked the time to look for it and could only go with this plan, but I'm different.”
”I feel that if we have to pay such a bitter price, then it shouldn't be counted as a victory, only mutual destruction.”
”Thus… I won't kill her.”
Hathaway sneered, laughing in a teasing way.
Lance helplessly shrugged while Tidomas bellowed, ”Quickly return my Divine Source! You coward!”
”It isn't up to you to make this decision!”
Marvin's eyes looked resolute.
The 4th Fate Tablet truly could let one be reborn.
He closed his eyes and hesitated for a moment before he suddenly laughed. ”So much to do. Seems like it'll be lonely.”
”But I truly don't wish to see any of my friends lose their lives in vain.”
”It might be a bit too overbearing to decide this on my own, and I didn't ask your opinion, but you also won't feel anything while time is frozen.”
”So let me be willful for once.”
The next second, a bright light burst out of the advanced False Divine Vessel.
This dazzling resplendence instantly spread through the entire Universe!
Every place that was touched by it was frozen in time!
[Unfathomable Ability!]
He finally realized the power of that strange spell after getting the information from that higher Universe.
Finding a way to truly freeze time was something that was unfathomable.
But with the power of the Fate Tablet, Marvin succeeded.
The light brushed every corner of the Universe.
Thus, the entire Universe was frozen in this moment.
He was alone, walking around all by himself.
He took a trip around Feinan, looking at his old friends, returning to White River Valley, checking on those that he swore to protect.
He finally chose to leave this world!
The passage to the higher Universe was opened and he left on his own, setting foot on the path to his next adventure.
He believed he could find the way to eradicate this Evil Seed in this mysterious higher Universe.
And when he found a way, he would return to Feinan.
”This is really lonely.”
He walked through the sky, getting closer and closer to that higher Universe, feeling a bit bitter but still resolute in his heart.
The next second, he heard a familiar voice. ”Times sure changed! Lil' Bro became stronger than Big Bro.”
”But going to an unknown world by yourself like this... You do have great guts. You are worthy of being my Lil' Bro.”
The Eternal Time Dragon!
Marvin and Tiramisu walked side by side, passing through the edge of the world and finally reaching the Higher Universe.
This was a vast galaxy!
There were countless stars and planets, a completely new Universe, and an endless journey!
He knew that there was another Lance in this Universe, arduously looking for an answer to the problem.
Marvin's use of Unfathomable Ability only treated the symptoms, but not the issue. To really fix the issue with Feinan's Plane Will, he would still need to work hard for some time yet.
But when he made the decision, he hadn't thought that he would have company.
”How? An accident?”
Tiramisu laughed, ”This handsome Dragon is an Eternal Time Dragon!”
”The ability you used is indeed very powerful. You sealed the entire Universe, but you can't seal me!”
Marvin laughed and gently patted the Eternal Time Dragon's head. There was a lot on his mind, but it all came out as this one sentence:
”Let's go.”
Spread before them was an endless expanse of darkness.
With them walking along this seemingly never-ending road together, there would be no loneliness.
