Chapter 990: Information

At first, there were many almighty beasts’ will within the Bead of Infamy, but now Merlin had frantically swallowed them until there was nothing left. In the entire Bead of Infamy, there was not a single almighty beast’s will.

“Phew… I’ve finally devoured it all. Although there is no almighty beast’s will left in the Bead of Infamy, this Bead of Infamy is still very useful, as it’s able to seal and suppress an almighty beast’s will.”

Merlin knew that the Bead of Infamy was actually a treasure too, or it would not possibly be able to suppress so many almighty beasts’ will.

After he had finished devouring and merging the almighty beasts’ will from the Bead of Infamy and settled them in his Awareness, the almighty beast’s will had transformed beyond recognition. Other than a faint, familiar hint of the Blood-eye Dragon’s force, one had no way of knowing that it was once the high-tier almighty beast, the Blood-eye Dragon.

“Shapeshift!”

Merlin cried out hoarsely. Instantly, his entire body started to shapeshift swiftly. His body expanded outwards in rings as incomparably sharp spurs grew all over his body. There were even dim flames that adhered to his wings. The crimson vertical eye on his forehead had not really changed, but there was an additional horn that sprouted close to the eye.

In fact, this was not the biggest change. The biggest change was the overall transformation of the Blood-eye Dragon. Its enormous bulk had increased twice over at least and truly became a “colossus”. Furthermore, the repressive aura of its body was extremely fearsome, more fearsome than any other full-shifting contender.

Merlin knew that the Holy Dragon royal family had actually inherited top-tier almighty beasts’ will. These were second only to the formidable bloodlines of sacred beasts and could be considered the strongest bloodlines.

However, Merlin had learned through the Princess Royal that the actual strength of the top-tier almighty beasts was still their Supreme Talent and not their own physical power.

Now, after devouring and merging various almighty beasts’ will, Merlin’s own strength was now formidable to an inconceivable extent. It was likely that there was no almighty beast that was stronger than Merlin’s physical strength.

Although Merlin did not have a powerful Supreme Talent, his body had been augmented to such an extent that he was on a different path.

“The barrier of the Illusory World is even sturdier, and its recovery speed has improved. Merlin, not bad. Your merging of the almighty beasts’ will might be different from the traditional methods of this world, but it allows the Illusory World an opportunity to reach its full potential.”

Within Merlin’s Illusory World, Titus spoke in gleeful surprise. As Merlin merged the will, his almighty beast form had continuously grown stronger beyond expectation. It seemed that there were no physical limits and instead the Illusory World’s barrier had become sturdier.

Back when Merlin faced off against the Void Zone, it was actually because his Illusory World’s barrier was not strong enough. If one wished to make the Illusory World into reality, the Illusory World’s barrier solidity would be of utmost significance!

“Perhaps no one had ever taken this path, but as long as I can enhance my capability, I’ll continue down that road no matter what the path is!”

Merlin could feel the energy surging wildly within his body. This was a fantastic sensation. Even when he was in the Void Zone back then, he had never felt such formidable power.

“I wonder if the current me can withstand Farron’s Supreme Talent?”

Merlin returned to his original appearance. He was possibly the strongest person, in terms of pure physical strength, to be born after the ancient almighty beasts had gone extinct. No full-shifting contender, purely based on physical power, was as mighty as Merlin.

Perhaps there were other Hosts who had merged almighty beasts’ will, but at best they would have merged one or two almighty beasts’ will. They would have to be extremely lucky, and also very careful, to prevent the backlash of the almighty beast’s will.

Nonetheless, fusing one or two almighty beasts’ will actually did not induce any clear improvements in the Host’s abilities. Merlin had to merge countless almighty beasts’ will from the Bead of Infamy to ultimately experience such an obvious improvement.

After keeping the Bead of Infamy, Merlin left the secret chamber.

“Butler, get me a set of clothes.”

Merlin returned to his original form. His body’s force still had not changed at all. After that, the butler brought a set of clothes. After Merlin put them on, he stared at the young face in the mirror and felt unsettled as if this face was somewhat unfamiliar.

“I haven’t been in this world for long, but it feels like a very long time…”

Merlin had a dim longing for the Void Zone. Everything he was familiar with was there. Alone, in the strange Almighty Beast World, he had to be careful with his Illusory World. Moreover, there was no one like him, hence he always felt lonely.

“To Phantom!”

Merlin commanded the carriage driver to send him to Phantom at once. There were few people who currently knew about Merlin’s true identity. The butler knew some of it, and there was also the driver.

The carriage driver nodded wordlessly and did not speak much, and immediately steered the carriage to steadily trundle towards Phantom Headquarters.

Soon enough, they reached Phantom Headquarters. Merlin saw that the headquarters seemed rather empty. At that point in time, nothing major had happened in the Holy Dragon City, and there were not many major missions, so the people of Phantom were more unoccupied.

Merlin immediately went to the Intelligence Team. In fact, the members of this team did not know Merlin well but when Merlin appeared, almost everyone stood up respectfully and cried out. “Deputy Minister!”

Merlin thought about it. Farron must have already informed the whole of Phantom. This Deputy Minister was a Deputy Minister who wielded true power. Naturally, the members of the Intelligence Team dared not slight him.

“Deputy Minister, our Team Leader has gone out on some business for now. Do you have any orders?” A woman who looked rather mild-mannered asked in a soft voice.

“There’s no need to trouble your Team Leader. Just help me look up information about Doomsday. I want specific details.”

“Doomsday? He’s one of the rebel army leaders heavily monitored by the royal family, so information on him is very detailed and in abundance. Deputy Minister, please hold on a moment. We’ll retrieve the information for you.”

This was one of the reasons Merlin came to Phantom Headquarters, to look up specific information on Doomsday. Although Merlin had already found a new path, Doomsday had nearly killed Merlin the last time. There were no downsides in learning more about Doomsday.

“We’ve found it, Deputy Minister. There’s plenty of information on Doomsday, take a look…”

The quiet, gentle woman immediately came out holding a pile of data that was as thick as a few books. This was all the information on Doomsday. With such a hefty collection, Merlin felt a headache coming on.

“Why is there so much information? Is there also a record of whom Doomsday had fought before when he was young?”

From Merlin’s perspective, records like these were pure decoration and served no purpose.

“Deputy Minister, Doomsday himself is one of the major rebel army leaders. All his information must be very detailed. Even the trajectory of his growth must be understood clearly.”

Merlin shook his head slightly. This was how the Intelligence Team worked. He would not actually meddle with their affairs. Following that, he picked up the information on Doomsday and pored over it carefully.

In particular, Doomsday’s trajectory of growth had to be closely studied. Perhaps Merlin could discover some of Doomsday’s secrets from there.
