“Be careful. He’s flying toward the hopeship again.”

“Even the Slothful Beast can’t destroy the light veil. How could that person think of a way to destroy the light veil himself?”

In the depths of the crystal wall, the Senators were currently paying attention to every move happening outside. At first, they saw the black cat Didimoss destroy dimension-level warships one after another, and felt incredibly pained. However, now they saw that Merlin was approaching the hopeship, they could not help but feel alarmed.

What they feared most was the light veil getting destroyed. If that happened, the hopeship would no longer have a defensive barrier. How would it withstand the Slothful Beast’s fierce impact then?

“It’s impossible. He won’t be able to break the crystal wall’s light veil because even we can’t turn it off. Unless the crystal wall’s light veil’s mysterious force is researched thoroughly…”

The Senators’ opinions were at odds but most of them were still very confident about the light veil because they knew very well how powerful the mysterious force on the crystal wall was. They had studied it for a long time without any results, so how would Merlin be able to easily destroy it?

However, when Merlin took out the Black Star Armor which was as dark as ink, the Senators’ expressions immediately froze.

“That… That’s the ultimate weapon?”

All the Senators gasped sharply. They had never thought that the Vestigial Tribe’s ultimate weapon would be a foreigner’s hands.

In the beginning, they had accidentally discovered that there was an ultimate weapon inside the crystal wall. The most powerful one was called the Golden Ray Armor, followed by the Black Star Armor, and finally the Gray Light Armor.

For the Gray Light Armor, the Atlan civilization had already developed a substitute armor but its strength was naturally far from being comparable to the genuine Gray Light Armor of the Vestigial Tribe.

However, the Atlan civilization was still unable to imitate the Black Star Armor and the Golden Ray Armor. Presently, they were still in the crystal wall.

“It’s the Black Star Armor, the ultimate weapon of the Vestigial Tribe! He possesses an ultimate weapon but he’s the same as us. He isn’t able to use the ultimate weapon, so there should be nothing to worry about.”

Seeing Merlin merely holding the Black Star Armor without putting it on, the Senators breathed a sigh of relief. They had discovered complete ultimate weapons in the crystal wall. One of them was a Golden Ray Armor that was exceedingly rare even during the Vestigial Tribe’s era.

This was the true ultimate weapon, the powerful force that could compete with the Thirty-six Emperors! However, they simply could not crack the Golden Ray Armor. Only some mechanisms left behind by the Vestigial Tribe would temporarily activate this Golden Ray Armor.

However, even these Senators did not know what would happen after it was activated, so they still had many apprehensions about activating this ultimate weapon and kept it a secret.

At this point, Merlin had already approached the light veil and stopped.

“Power of the Vestigial Tribe!”

Merlin looked at the Black Star Armor in his hands. Without the Vestigial Tribe’s Brain of Life, Merlin could not control this Black Star Armor either. Appearance-wise, this armor looked just like any ordinary airtight armor and did not possess any special features

“Go.”

After a long moment, Merlin took a deep breath. He used his two ultimate Maims and directly wrapped around the Black Star Armor, and fiercely smashed it against the light veil.

“Bang.”

A dull noise sounded. Just like the previous attacks, the light veil merely rippled slightly like water. The ripple spread in all directions and disappeared.

However, just when Merlin thought that it was futile, a faint ring of light appeared on the Black Star Armor. The place where the light veil was hit also began to swirl around like a whirlpool.

“Crack.”

A tiny gap appeared in front of Merlin without warning.

“This…”

Merlin was also somewhat stunned but he reacted quickly, and swiftly flew into the gap.

“Swoosh.”

As if there was no obstruction, Merlin smoothly crossed the gap and could no longer feel the obstruction of the light veil. When he turned to glance at the light veil again, he saw that it was beginning to repair itself slowly.

“The Black Star Armor can enter the light veil. This light veil must’ve been used for defense by the Vestigial Tribe. So, the Black Star Armor, as well as the other armors, would be automatically recognized by the light veil and be allowed to pass.”

Many thoughts flashed in Merlin’s mind but his guess was already mostly correct. There must be a relationship between the Black Star Armor and the light veil left behind by the Vestigial Tribe. However, there was no point in figuring out what that relationship was now. The most important thing was that Merlin was on board the hopeship now.

“The hopeship…”

Merlin revealed a smile, and his Mind Power began to emerge grandiosely. His Illusory World also silently enveloped the entire hopeship.

From Merlin’s Mind Power sensing, he found that the hopeship was incredibly large, almost equivalent to several dimensions. Fortunately, Merlin’s Illusory World expanded again, shrouding the entire hopeship.

“Control!”

Merlin began to control the minds of all the Atlans on board the hopeship. For these ordinary Atlans, they simply had no way of resisting Merlin’s mind control.

Even the military hiding in the fortress was helpless and was controlled by his Mind Power. In a moment, the entire hopeship had fallen under Merlin’s control.

“Void-level warships!”

Merlin’s eyes gleamed with excitement. His Mind Power had finally found the place where void-level warships were manufactured. It was a completely sealed place, hidden thousands of meters underground.

If not for the fact that Merlin’s Mind Power was unique, he would not have found it. There was a huge research base thousands of meters underground, and at least one hundred thousand researchers were manufacturing void-level warships around the clock.

However, these researchers were now under Merlin’s control, and the void-level warships’ main cannons no longer posed a threat to Merlin.

The biggest threat had been removed but Merlin did not plan to destroy the void-level warship’s secret research base immediately. Although he could control the hopeship, there was still a mysterious place that could not be controlled in any way.

Even his Mind Power could not enter.

“The crystal wall left behind by the Vestigial Tribe…”

Merlin quickly recalled the information he had learned earlier. On the hopeship was the crystal wall that was left behind by the Vestigial Tribe. Under Merlin’s Mind Power’s probing, the only thing that could stop Merlin’s Mind Power was that glittering and translucent crystal wall.

“I haven’t found the Senators yet. They must be hiding in the crystal wall.”

Merlin sneered. He knew that the Senate was the key institution in charge of the entire Atlan civilization. As long as the Senate was in existence, the Atlan Federation Army would be able to operate normally. Therefore, it was necessary to find those Senators.

“Whoosh.”

Merlin flew toward the crystal wall without hesitation. Apart from the hiding Senators, there might still be some hidden secrets of the Vestigial Tribe.

…

“The ultimate weapon – the Black Star Armor – let Merlin into the hopeship. What do we do now?”

“Oh no, his speed is too fast. His invisible power has already controlled everyone on the hopeship.”

“It’s a unique power that allows him to control minds. Now, apart from us, the entire hopeship is under his control. Let’s vote. At the last moment, do we activate the ultimate weapon?”

Through their unique techniques, the Senators had learned about the situation on the hopeship. Almost everyone was being controlled. The Senators who had lived for countless years felt fear toward that unknown power.

They knew that this was the final moment. They had no other options left other than activating the ultimate weapon.
