"The heretical country is really fertile! However, God's radiance will soon spread across this land. Our Church of Light will also become the proprietor of this land!"

Philandeny, the Emperor of the Holy Light Empire and the pope of the Church of Light, looked at the scenery along the way and appeared high-spirited. They had been fighting with the Kingdom of Blackmoon for so many years, and each of their crusade against heresy was equally difficult. It was his first time stepping into the heretical land of the Kingdom of Blackmoon.

It was very likely that Philandeny would become the most powerful pope in the Church of Light's history!

"How far are we from the Kingdom of Blackmoon's Imperial City? Have there been any news about the royal family?"

Philandeny knew that in order for the Church of Light to spread God's radiance throughout this land, the royal family, as well as those heretical Spell Casters everywhere, had to be destroyed. For this reason, he had mobilized the entire force in the Church of Light and even sent forth a Divine Believer.

He believed that no matter how powerful the heretics were, they would be eliminated as long as the Divine Believer was present.

"Your Holiness, there are still three days away from the heretical kingdom. As for news about the royal family, there are some, but it's very bad news for us!"

The scarlet-robed Archbishop Nananni who was in charge of intelligence seemed to have received some bad news.

"What bad news?" Philandeny looked very calmed as he asked.

"The chaotic Spell Caster world has been assembled by a new force and was now called the Spell Caster Alliance. They're in the Imperial City now and seem to be joining hands with the royal family to stop us in the Imperial City!"

Nananni's information was very accurate. After he learned that the Spell Caster world had been unified, he was also very surprised. After all, no one had been able to unify the entire Spell Caster world since the collapse of the Molta Empire.

The royal family was defeated so easily at the Polosi River because the Spell Caster world was plunged into internal disorder and did not support the royal family at all.

"The Spell Caster Alliance? That's interesting, but what does it matter? It's already too late. If it had happened a few years ago, we ought to be worried, but now we have three Divine Believers and one Divine Believer possessing the power of God following us. What can those heretics do to stop us? It's fine. It was only the Blackmoon royal family that had decided to fight us last time. Now that they've decided to fight us in the Imperial City, that means those heretics have chosen to fight against us too. When they're defeated this time, they can no longer give us any trouble. The glory of God will shower across this land!"

A sharp light flashed in Philandeny's eyes. There was nothing he feared now. The Spell Caster world and the royal family had joined hands and was prepared to fight with the Holy Light Empire. That was exactly what Philandeny wanted. It would be better to be able to settle everything at one go!

As a result, the army of the Holy Light Empire sped up and hurried towards the Kingdom of Blackmoon.

...

"Beep, the warship has been repaired!"

The Matrix's voice suddenly sounded in Merlin's ear. He quickly opened his eyes and saw that the warship's energy source was down to around forty percent. The mining robots had been mining a large number of elemental crystal stones and pouring them into the high-powered engine furnace incessantly.

Even Merlin had to admire that the Atlan civilization robots indeed had natural advantages in mining lodes. Of course, a Great Legend could rely on their powerful strength to take control of the entire lode. The process would be much faster.

"The repairs are finally complete!"

Merlin was pleased. He first observed the appearance of the warship. The warship which had been broken in half was now intact and restored to its original form. The dark hull gave out a kind of 'ferocious' and dangerous feeling. It was just like when Merlin faced off against those Great Legends when he was weak.

This was an Atlan civilization empire-level warship and was comparable to Honored Legends. Therefore, Merlin was eager to find out what power the warship possessed for it to be comparable to Great Honored Legends and let even Honored Legends feel threatened.

"Matrix, what's the strongest attack of this warship?"

Merlin asked the Matrix directly. After all, the Matrix was the one to receive the data of the battleship that had been completely damaged and could not operate. It had already taken control of the warship easily and had become the core of the empire-level warship.

"The warship's most powerful main cannon, the Destruction Cannon! It can easily shatter space, break down Maxims, and destroy dimensions!"

Merlin was shocked upon hearing the Matrix's introduction. Shattering space was fine; anything possessing the strength of Legends could do it, but breaking down Maxims was different from resisting Maxims or suppressing Maxims. It was breaking down Maxims.

Even a Legendary Wizard far more powerful than a Great Legend would not be able to break down Maxims. Only something that was a level more powerful like an ultimate Maxim would be able to break down ordinary Maxims.

Now it was known that this Destruction Cannon could break down Maxims. This was already comparable to an Honored Legend. Coupled with the fact that it could destroy dimensions, Merlin finally knew why the birthplace of Spell Caster civilization would suffer such huge losses. Even the Molta Empire, which was in its heyday, had completely collapsed, causing a gap to appear in the knowledge and inheritance of the Glorious Land.

The Atlan civilization definitely did not send out just one empire-level warship back then. There might be more powerful dimension-level warships out there. As long as there were a few of these warships, no amount of Glorious Land would be able to resist them. Only if Great Wizards like the Origin Lord fought desperately would the Glorious Land be saved.

"Very good, now that we have the destruction cannon, we can rely on it when we're fighting with the Holy Church of Light and the Void Zone!"

Merlin was still excited. This kind of opportunity could not be stumbled upon simply. If it were an ordinary Spell Caster, even Great Lords would not be able to control an Atlan civilization warship.

Only Merlin, who possessed the Matrix, and since the warship's control core system had collapsed, could successfully control the empire-level warship.

"How much energy does it cost to fire the Destruction Cannon once?"

Merlin once again remembered the most crucial thing about the warship: energy! Repairing and manufacturing robots required energy, so launching such a terrifying attack would definitely require a huge amount of energy.

Sure enough, the Matrix immediately replied, "Firing the Destruction Cannon once requires fifty percent of energy. Please reserve more energy!"

Half the energy bar was needed to use it once, which meant that if a warship was full of energy, it only had the opportunity to launch two attacks. However, twice was enough. Besides, a warship would certainly carry a lot of energy sources.

In other words, this empire-level warship was even more powerful than ordinary Honored Legends!

"It seems we still need to store more elemental crystal stones!"

Merlin looked at the many robots that were constantly mining and digging the elemental crystal stones. He had not found anything that could replace elemental crystal stones yet, so he could only use elemental crystal stones to serve as the warship's energy source for now.

Perhaps, upon returning to the Void Zone, he could go to a vast dimension and find a better energy source than elemental crystal stones.

Rumble.

Merlin was preparing to wait for the robots to mine enough elemental crystal stones when he suddenly heard a dull sound. It was the sound of the huge statue outside the secret chamber opening.

Sure enough, the figure of the eighth prince appeared in the secret chamber. He was stunned at the sight of the robots moving around the lode.

"Puppets?"

He muttered a few words to himself before putting the matter aside. His expression seemed anxious.

"Wizard Merlin, the Holy Light Empire is closing in on the Imperial City. They'll reach the gates of the Imperial City in half a day!"

The eighth prince brought a shocking piece of news.
