Abe the Wizard

Chapter 1448: Returning

“Who can kill my sea monsters?” Wizard Basham shook his head with a smile.

1

It was hilarious that he was even thinking about it. After all, anyone would need to kill at least a hundred of his sea monsters at once to make him feel anything!

But his sea monsters were definitely not easy to kill in numbers. Without being able to suppress them, the only difference between them and God Ranks was power.

In normal circumstances, they might even be able to do the reverse by surrounding a God Rank!

And that was not all. Wizard Basham could also generate his own attacks while his sea monsters were making their moves.

——

After a few days, his Rank 45 Wizard energy covered the vast ocean and the souls of any sea monster who touched it were destroyed.

Almost a billion sea monsters were killed. Through this process his Legendary sea monsters mastered their fighting skills.

It was why he unleashed this massacre in the first place. Then, he would be able to leave the ocean!

Every time he came across a Half-god sea monster, he would withdraw his energy by a tiny bit and his sea monsters could get some experience fighting with Half-gods.

“This world is mine!” Wizard Basham saw the sea of red and laughed. Not a single bit of regret crossed his thoughts.

He was almost as powerful as the Demon from Beyond, and no one was able to mess with him!

“Demon from Beyond, I’ll give you a surprise as soon as you are resurrected!” he promised himself.

His Legendary sea monsters jumped back into his Inner World one by one and returned to being fish, but each of them was looking much more vicious.

He turned his gaze to the central continent and declared, “It’s time to go back and see what has changed!”

He scanned his portal bag and took out his Communication Circle.

As soon as he connected with it, his face changed.

He had ignored the Wizard Union messages for the past year, and they had actually lost the World Stone Heart?

All of a sudden, his mind went blank.

If his past thousands of training did not allow him to beat the Demon from Beyond, the World Stone Heart was the key to ruling this world!

The World Stone Heart was the heart of an ancient god. He had been the one and only god of this world, and if he was given a longer time to live before he was killed by the powerful who came after him, perhaps he would have reached a point all God Ranks and gods could only dream of: becoming the truly almighty being of this world!

The god’s heart was the bridge to ruling this world, but it was still being built, which was why many powerful figures tried to claim it.

Finally during the Era of Gods, the World Stone Heart had landed in the hands of Wizard Basham. He had looked through all the ancient documents and realized how hard it was to nourish it.

Still, he was determined. The Wizard Union had finally ruled the world and all the gods were captured.

He had used twelve holy bodies to set up a Magic Circle for the World Stone Heart and kept it secret always.

For an extra layer of security, he had even destroyed all the documents that mentioned the World Stone Heart, so no other wizard would get greedy for it.

They had always thought it was just a personal treasure of their President, drawing energy from Divine Bodies.

There was a great secret of the World Stone Heart, and that was the fact that it could push all God Ranks into their most powerful God Rank once it was combined with another treasure during its mature state.

However, this great treasure was stolen from Wizard Basham. It was his fault for ignoring the Wizard Union’s messages. It was as painful as having a chunk of flesh cut out of him!

“I will tear whoever stole my World Stone Heart into ten thousand pieces!” he grunted.

He was no longer looking at all proud of himself, and ice elements sifted out from his body.

But he was just too far away from the central continent. It would take him two years even if he flew as fast as possible.

He calmed himself down for a moment, and sent a message back. Afterwards, he gave the Dejo Island he had lived in for the past thousand years one last look, and Flashed towards the central continent.

Meanwhile…

Wizard Brennan was looking through a stack of parchments.

Since the God Rank wizards had been ruling for the past few years, a Vice President like himself had lost his authority long ago.

Legendary wizards had been searching left and right for the past year, which made them all a little paranoid, and most of them went into seclusion.

Therefore, their responsibilities had landed on God Rank Wizards, and the job Wizard Brennan started to do was simple. To look after the Communication Circle with the President.

The only hassle was that he could never leave it.

One day, it suddenly began to spark and Wizard Brennan was stunned.

He immediately knew what was happening.

A message soon emerged “I will find my missing treasure no matter what, and whoever gives me the most reliable information can become my disciple! In two years, I will return to the Wizard Union!”

Although there was no name attached to the message, Wizard Brennan knew exactly who it was: their president!

His heart quickly began to tremble. Becoming the disciple of the President? It was something any wizard would go crazy about!

Being a disciple was different from being a follower. Followers normally used their labor and service to exchange for knowledge from a wizard.

A wizard might have a lot of followers, but none of them would truly inherit all the knowledge. In fact, they were more like servants who needed mana to survive.

On the other hand, a disciple was the true heir of a wizard. They would be able to share resources and were the closest people to a wizard.

Every wizard knew that no God Rank Wizard had ever been close to their president, so becoming their president’s disciple was a huge opportunity!

——

As this message spread among the God Rank Wizards and the Wizard Union, their passion for finding that treasure was ignited.

Scent-detecting Magic Circles were being bought out like crazy, and wizards spread throughout the continent.

The God Rank wizards even realized that low rank wizards were going through Abel’s territory and that Abel did not care, considering how low rank they were.

All the God Rank wizards who had ventured outside had doubled down in their haste to return.

Of course, most of those God Rank wizards did not have to travel as far as their president. Most of them could return in ten days or so.

Once they returned, they would be able to call for support if they were in trouble. After all, they were not their president.

Therefore, in just a month, 19 God Rank Wizards had gathered in the Wizard Union. This included three Rank 39 Wizards, which made their fights with the Holy Kingdom even more violent.

But still, they didn’t go all out, since each of them wanted to find the treasure themselves.

——

It has been a year since Abel showed himself, but during this time he had pinpointed the Kingdoms of every god he had resurrected.

However, he realized something. The Goddess of the Hunt’s Realm was an extremely rare case. Most Divine Kingdoms did not disintegrate, and in fact they were actually well-preserved with ways of sustaining themselves.

Abel smoothly set up Teleportation Circles in all eleven new Realms. Just like that, he had sixteen Divine Kingdoms in his hands!

Although he didn’t have a vast teleportation network like the Wizard Union, the Teleportation Circles he had in those Realms could still deliver him to every corner of the central continent.

After he restored their Divine Kingdoms, the gods started to reply to their followers again, but only the most faithful ones.

He couldn’t risk anyone noticing that those gods had been resurrected. If they did, everyone would immediately start suspecting that he was the one who had stolen the World Stone Heart.

After all, he was already a prime suspect!

It had been a peaceful year, but for the past month he had received many requests from God Rank Wizards to enter his faithful grounds.

This included the Dwarves’ Furnace Fort, which had already been searched through a year ago. What could have caused those wizards to go crazy again?

Although they did not go too far and pick a fight, neither the Dwarves nor the Barbarians liked the Wizard Union.

Abel quickly searched through the dragons’ report and soon found his answer. The Wizard Union’s President was about to return!
