Chapter 1029: Central Region Major Cosmos

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

For the first time, Merlin felt that he was insignificant. When he first met Aruba, Aruba had introduced the concept of the Latitude Cosmos to him. At that time, Merlin had felt that his world was too small and his vision was too narrow.

Now, after great difficulties, he had finally transformed the Illusory World into a real Latitude Cosmos. He had thought that by relying on this Latitude Cosmos, he had reached the peak and could travel to countless Latitude Cosmoses with Aruba, becoming a Latitude traveler.

However, it seemed that there was an even more vast world before him.

“Merlin, don’t sigh. It was not easy for me to break free of the Latitude Cosmos in the beginning. When I first learned about this, I felt the same way. However, you’ll soon like this feeling. Haha, even Free Beings like us are great existences in controlling hundreds of millions of creatures. Of course, you Controllers are even more powerful.”

Aruba’s gaze at Merlin was slightly strange. A Controller was usually only produced once every tens of thousands of Latitude Cosmoses. Even Aruba himself had not seen many Controllers. Many of them were Free Beings but unexpectedly, a Controller had now been born in his Latitude Cosmos.

“Merlin, let’s go. I’ll take you to the Central Region Major Cosmos. Its the center of numerous Latitude Regions and also the most prosperous place. It’ll help you understand the entire Latitude Region.”

Aruba brought Merlin and flew into the dark void. Both of them were extremely fast. Aruba relied entirely on his power but Merlin saved his energy and used a little power from the Illusory World in his body. The Illusory World would be able to recover this little power, so the amount consumed was negligible.

This was also a Controller’s strength.

Merlin had just become a Controller and did not know much about a Controller’s abilities. Now that he met Aruba, he would naturally ask for advice.

Therefore, along the way, Merlin asked advice from Aruba carefully. Aruba also answered everything he could, explaining in detail about some mysterious abilities of Controllers and Free Beings.

Free Beings and Controllers were two different types of great existences who walked in different directions. Free Beings paid attention to their own strength and relied on their strength to break up countless Latitude Cosmoses. Only when their strength was strong to a certain extent would the Latitude Cosmos be unable to contain them anymore and cause them to become Free Beings.

The benefit of being a Free Being was the great advantage they had when breaking free of a Latitude Cosmos. However, after becoming a Free Being, it would take a long time to improve their strength further.

A Controller was different. A Controller started out from the route of controlling an entire Latitude Cosmos. This Latitude Cosmos must be a complete Latitude Cosmos and have its will and needed to be replaced.

As a result, most Free Beings were killed by the Latitude Cosmos’ will before they became Controllers. There were very few who could become Controllers.

Even if they gradually grew strong, it was almost impossible to completely replace a Latitude Cosmos with a complete will. It was the same in the Void Zone and the Almighty Beast World. It was too difficult to replace the world’s will and control the Latitude Cosmos. Even Merlin could not do it now.

Merlin only encountered the Almighty Beast World that had an incomplete will by chance, which gave him the opportunity to devour the world’s will. However, this was not replacing the Almighty Beast World’s will and he could not control the Almighty Beast World. On the other hand, Merlin controlled the Illusory World which he had formed and could materialize illusions into reality.

To some extent, controlling a world like this was more dependable compared to taking pains to replace a world’s will to control a Latitude Cosmos. Merlin’s ability to become a Controller was a result of various opportunities and coincidences, which ultimately lead to a difficult success.

It would be impossible if he wanted to reproduce it.

Controllers could look for a world with a broken will or a very weak world and devour the world’s will. Only this way could the Controller’s world expand rapidly. Their strength would also multiply far faster than a Free Being’s.

Of course, a regular Latitude Cosmos was like the surrounding Latitude Cosmoses. Even with Merlin’s current strength, he could not devour any of them because their will was complete. If Merlin wanted to devour them, he had to be ten times or even a hundred times stronger. Hence, it was extremely tough.

Destroying a Latitude Cosmos was easy but it was almost impossible to forcibly devour the will of a complete Latitude Cosmos. Even so, a Controller would be able to improve his strength much faster than a Free Being.

Along the way, what Merlin learned was only the tip of the iceberg. Merlin could only slowly learn everything else when he had reached the Central Region Major Cosmos.

Although the two were extremely fast, the distance was too far away. It would take hundreds or even thousands of years to reach via flying. However, Merlin’s lifespan was endless at this state. As long as he did not meet any accidents, he would continue to live.

Therefore, hundreds of years were not worth mentioning at all.

Finally, eight hundred years had passed before Merlin finally saw a mass like a nebula in front of him. This was a Latitude Cosmos but it was larger than any other Latitude Cosmos and even a Latitude Region could not compare to it.

“Merlin, we’ve arrived at the Central Region Major Cosmos!”

Aruba patted Merlin’s shoulder and said with a smile.

Merlin was shocked looking at this vast world. Generally, a Latitude Region consisted of tens of thousands or more of Latitude Cosmoses and was boundlessly huge.

However, this vast Central Region Major Cosmos was only a single Latitude Cosmos but it seemed that even a Latitude Region could not match its size.

“Aruba, how large is the Central Region Major Cosmos?”

“How large?”

Aruba was taken aback and shook his head. “The Central Region Major Cosmos is at least as large as hundreds of Latitude Regions and is expanding every year. I’m afraid no one knows how large the Central Region Major Cosmos is except the Central Region Major Cosmos’ Absolute Being, Sir Tyron.”

“Hm? It’s larger than hundreds of Latitude Regions not Latitude Cosmoses?”

Merlin was very shocked. Tens of thousands of Latitude Cosmoses formed one Latitude Region but that was considered an extremely small Latitude Region. A powerful Latitude Region would consist of tens of thousands or more Latitude Cosmoses.

However, this Central Region Major Cosmos was only a Latitude Cosmos but it was larger than hundreds of Latitude Regions. It was beyond Merlin’s imagination.

“Yes, it’s hundreds of Latitude Regions. It’s also the King of the Major Cosmoses. Merlin, you may not know but the gap between Controllers is very obvious. Generally, Controllers only control a very ordinary Latitude Cosmos. Most Controllers are at this point. However, after expanding the Latitude Cosmos to the size of around ten or a hundred Latitude Cosmoses, it can’t be called a Minor Cosmos.

“Above Minor Cosmoses, there are Medium Cosmoses. A Medium Cosmos has at least thousands of Latitude Cosmoses. Above that is a Major Cosmos, which has at least ten thousand Latitude Cosmoses.

“Controllers of Major Cosmoses are extremely rare and stand at the peak. However, the ones at the apex are the five top Absolute Beings. Each of their worlds is as large as hundreds of Latitude Regions. They guard the five directions, namely the Eastern Region Major Cosmos, Western Region Major Cosmos, Southern Region Major Cosmos, Northern Region Major Cosmos, and the Central Region Major Cosmos.”

Merlin’s heart swelled with emotion. The five Major Cosmoses were the highest existences. The Illusory World he controlled now was not even considered a Minor Cosmos.

“This… What about Free Beings? What level can the strongest reach?”

Merlin asked in a low voice. He already knew that Controllers had the upper hand and stood at the peak of strength despite numbering much lesser than that of Free Beings.

Aruba’s eyes brightened as he said, “The strongest Free Being is Sir Monta, who’s comparable to an Absolute Being. However, he’s still far from the five strongest Controllers”

The strongest Free Being could only rival an Absolute Being. This was considered very impressive for a Free Being but the gap between him and the five strongest Controllers was too obvious. The top five Controllers were the greatest existences among hundreds of Latitude Regions.

Only now did Merlin know that powerful Controllers were this terrifying.

Seeing the look on Merlin’s face, Aruba said with a big smile, “Haha, Merlin, now you know how amazing Controllers are. Both you and I are still at the weakest stage but your potential far surpasses me.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to some of my old friends. Haha, my Ruba Latitude Region produced a Controller. Let’s see if those old coots can top this achievement.”

Aruba looked excited and immediately took Merlin, flying into the Central Region Major Cosmos.
