Night Ranger

The sky was still overcast.

A lot of dark clouds were accumulating on both sides of the mountain range.

It was definitely noon on a day in spring, but it felt like a gloomy winter day.

After the Great Calamity, Feinan’s climate had become extremely nasty. Even the First Mountain Range, which had always had four seasons, now was in a period of constantly irritable weather.

All the powerful auras left traces on both sides of the mountain range.

Everyone was quietly standing around the tower.

Before they saw a good opportunity, few would randomly make a move...

They were on guard against each other while some were making alliances, or faking it.

All the forces from all sides of the Universe finally met in this part of Feinan.

In the long history, similar, more localized conflicts had appeared countless times, but for Feinan’s natives, it was the first time so many powerful ”outsiders” had come in such scale. They were seeking the same item, which would most likely change the structure of the Universe.

The words ”Fate Tablet” were very sensitive at the moment. Just mentioning them could affect the nerves of who knew how many people.

Perhaps it was because all of the strongest of the God Realms were busy resisting the Astral Beast, but Hell and the Abyss didn’t send their most powerful forces either.

Under the tacit agreement of the strongest people there, those heading this conflict were mostly Divine Servants or Greater Demons and Greater Devils.

It was also only they that could enter Feinan while the space was still unstable after the Universe Magic Pool shattered, preventing the strongest from entering normally.

As for the Truth Goddess, from what Marvin understood, she was a being on another level of existence.

But even though most of these…”guests” were maintaining their self-control for now, there were still some that were slaughtering recklessly!

...

Southwest of the Sky Tower, in a short rainforest, five people dressed as Clerics were in a circle.

They were holding their hands while mumbling.

Each had a silver pendant hanging at their chest. This was the symbol of a particular Mid God, the God of Lightning.

”Praying to your God?” a young voice echoed.

The Clerics frowned, and the leader was very unhappy, yet bewildered, by the fact that a kid was disturbing their ritual.

In the current circumstances, the Gods from the Astral Sea had to stand united.

Most of the Divine Servants worked together too.

No one would take the initiative to provoke someone from the Astral Sea.

”Get out if you don’t want to die!”

Killing intent flashed in the eyes of the Cleric overseeing the ritual.

Oddly, this kid gave him an uncomfortable feeling, making him want to fidget in place.

But it was just a Legend Wizard, and he was very young. It should be one of the rare geniuses of the continent. But what is talent worth before it’s realized?

Those talented people, in the eyes of the followers of Gods, were just mortals.

Mortals were too limited. When the followers of the Gods had descended to this continent, they hadn’t even considered the mortals.

They believed that their only competition was each other.

The little boy laughed. ”There is no use in praying to him.”

”The Lightning God is just a useless piece of trash. After losing the Storm Fragment, he could only become a Mid God.”

”You would be better off following me.”

The five Clerics were shocked by that kid’s domineering attitude.

”What nonsense are you talking about?” a Cleric among them angrily berated.

The little boy frowned.

Without warning, Arcane Energy burst all over the Cleric’s body.

”Boom!”

A resounding explosion echoed out. The Cleric didn’t even have time to use any of his Divine Power before he exploded into pieces!

”Kill him!”

”This is a lunatic!”

The other four paled from fright.

But the boy showed regret at their reaction. ”Why are you unwilling to step out of the darkness and seek the light?”

”I am the true God.”

”I am the real God of Magic!”

As he made this declaration, a frightening scythe of Divine Power passed harmlessly through his body as if he wasn’t even there.

Then, a blue light passed through his body.

Those Divine Spells went straight through him, not injuring him at all.

As the four followers of the Lightning God finally paused in bewilderment, an earth-rending Arcane Storm came out of nowhere and tore them to pieces.

The boy slowly walked into the shadows, leaving this place.

20 seconds later, a shadow appeared.

Marvin frowned again while looking at what remained of those corpses.

’That’s 37 people…’

’He is getting faster, I can’t even catch up now.’

Marvin had a headache.

He didn’t understand what was happening.

He just took a trip to the Thousand Leaves Forest and the Night Monarch’s Underground Palace, and during that time, Wayne should have been on his way from White River Valley.

But once the youth reached the First Mountain Range, his temperament suddenly changed.

After dealing a surprise attack on Isabelle, he began slaughtering without restraint.

Regardless of who it was, he attacked ruthlessly!

And he certainly had the ability to do so.

His Arcane Spells were incredibly powerful. The inheritance of the Wizard God certainly wasn’t in vain.

The most frightening part was that Marvin was unable to keep up with his killing speed.

He wanted to stop Wayne, but because he had needed to take Isabelle to a safe location first, he lost a few minutes, leading to the current situation.

37 Legends died to Wayne’s magic.

If he didn’t stop, who knew what would happen?

’What is going on with him?’

With such thoughts roiling in his head, Marvin kept up the relentless pursuit!

Because of the Sky Tower, the surrounding space was sealed by Order Power.

Marvin could only rely on his Post-Godly Dexterity to chase Wayne, or else he would have already caught up to him with Endless Path.

He was now very worried about Wayne’s situation.

He got an especially alarming feeling from how Wayne was referring to himself as the true ”Magic God”.

After all, the one who had recently tried to attain that position was Dark Phoenix.

That woman had been cut to death by Marvin.

Now, his younger brother was saying he wanted to become the new Magic God.

What the hell was going on?

...

In a small forest, he pushed his Post-Godly Dexterity to its limits, while keeping Night Tracking continuously active.

Wayne was moving very quickly, but he was still a Wizard in the end, and he was also stopping to kill people.

After he killed his 39th victim, Marvin managed to catch up.

”You aren’t Wayne.”

”Who are you?”

Marvin looked at the fresh corpse and took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

Wayne showed a very natural expression as he innocently asked, ”Brother? What do you mean? These are all wretched people.”

”They destroyed the Universe magic Pool, don’t you remember?”

”Aren’t they your enemies? I’m helping you kill them, how could you question me?”

Marvin faintly froze.

But in that split second, a powerful feeling of danger burst at his side.

He reacted immediately and used the full extent of his Post-Godly Dexterity to shift his location.

The next second, the place where he had been standing was turned to dust by a veritable explosion of Arcane Energy!

”Woosh!”

Marvin’s shadow was like lightning, charging unhesitantly at Wayne.

Amazement flashed in the latter’s eyes, before turning to a sneer.

The Arcane Energy around him began flaring up.

”No one can stop the God of Magic.”

”Not even you.”
