Diary of a Dead Wizard

Chapter 1013: Transforming Sky City

Nathan was so excited he was about to trip over his own feet while walking. Afraid of delaying Saul's business, he responded and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Saul called out to him again, "Oh, Nathan."

"Master!" Nathan quickly turned around, looking at Saul with burning eyes.

"Do you still have any of those white porcelain cats you used to sell?"

Nathan nodded repeatedly. "I still have many. After Lord Floco appeared, the white porcelain cats lost their curse and blessing abilities. I secretly collected all the white porcelain cats that had spread to the market."

"How did you think to collect the white porcelain cats back?" At that time, with the urgent situation, even Saul hadn't thought about collecting the white porcelain cats. He hadn't expected Nathan to actually do it.

"I just thought that the white porcelain cats' power was special, and since you had instructed about them, I thought it would be better not to let them scatter widely outside."

Saul nodded again. He had originally just wanted to take a few white porcelain cats to study the curses on them, but Nathan had given him a surprise.

"Very good. Tell me where you've stored the white porcelain cats, then leave as soon as possible. A high-rank wizard will be coming soon, and he won't be as easy to talk to as me."

Shortly after Nathan left, Saul received an encrypted communication from the Stargate Council saying that Douglas had accepted Saul's invitation and would arrive at Sky City in two days.

This was somewhat beyond Saul's expectations.

The red worm experiments on Master Gorsa's side were progressing quickly. With the infusion of elf consciousness, they had obtained large numbers of controllable red worms. What followed would be repetitive experiments and combat experiments against anchor points.

Douglas should have looked down on such research, but unexpectedly still had to wait two days.

Could he have other matters to attend to?

Saul kept his body in the White Glass Palace while his consciousness remained in the fate lines' main body, continuing to expand.

Then he contacted Shaya to understand the progress of the war in the Chaos Realm.

According to Shaya, the battle situation with the anchor point monsters was at a stalemate. The anchor point monsters' numbers weren't growing too rapidly, but Keli and the others needed to use magic power carefully, so the bone army couldn't fully display its strength either.

Saul also asked Shaya whether he had contacted a self-aware anchor point possibly called Camus, but Shaya hadn't found Camus in several skirmishes.

Perhaps for Camus, the Chaos Realm was just a small battlefield—the wizard world was the main battlefield, so it simply disdained to appear in the Chaos Realm.

Moreover, as long as it completely conquered the wizard world, taking down the sealed Chaos Realm afterward would just be a matter of time.

But without seeing Camus, Saul couldn't convey the message "don't resurrect."

Saul couldn't be certain whether Camus would stop instigating the abyss's eruption upon hearing "don't resurrect," but it was always worth a try.

After all, if the abyss didn't want to resurrect, it would be good for the wizard world as a whole.

Unfortunately, Saul also understood that Douglas had gone to such lengths to seal the Chaos Realm, probably not giving Camus a chance to have second thoughts.

Even if both sides didn't want to fight, they had to fight.

Two days later, Douglas finally arrived.

Not only did he come, but he also brought Gorsa and the former Tribunal Chief Frim.

Seeing Gorsa, Saul hurried over to greet him. "Master, how did you come? Could there be some problem with the red worms?"

Saul didn't know what state Gorsa's body had recovered to, but he was still wrapped in pink bandages and didn't seem in any hurry to remove them.

He curved his eyes with a very happy appearance. "It's precisely because the red worm experiments went too smoothly. With Byron and that person there, I have nothing to do, so I came to watch you all perform. Creating the essence of a fallacy—even just scratching the surface would be very much worth seeing."

Saul's eyelid twitched as he thought, "So you voluntarily came to join the excitement? But since you're here, don't think about just watching—you're all going to work for me!"

He showed a sincere smile on his face. "Master's arrival is a great help. I currently just have an idea, but whether it can take shape still requires everyone to research together."

Gorsa glanced at Saul as if seeing through his thoughts. However, in front of Douglas and Frim, he said nothing.

Douglas looked left and right, finally lifting his head to look above.

Saul's fate lines' main body was wandering directly above several people. Although Douglas vaguely felt something abnormal, he ultimately didn't discover Saul's main body.

Seeing the other withdraw his gaze with a bit more confusion in his eyes, Saul was quite satisfied with the results of this test.

"Let's first see what preliminary modifications you've made."

Douglas began wandering through Sky City, while Gorsa and Frim each chose a direction and left.

Saul had already toured the entire Sky City before they arrived and now just stood in the White Glass Palace's main hall waiting for them.

Three fourth-rank wizards naturally toured very quickly. In less than an hour, the three returned from different directions.

However, their expressions were quite different.

Douglas remained indifferent, as if nothing needed to concern him.

Master Gorsa seemed to be smiling, with only a pair of eyes visible, making it difficult to discern his true emotions.

The last to return, Frim, was slightly frowning. "I don't think your plan can be realized. First, changing an island's mode of existence isn't difficult, but how will you make the new mode of existence deceive a... sixth-rank wizard?"

Frim could come along, so he naturally understood some of the inside information. Although it was hard to accept, he now had to admit that Saul and Gorsa's viewpoint was closer to reality.

The black tide wasn't a crisis that could be weathered through persistence and resistance. If one didn't dare take a step forward, they would never walk out of the darkness.

Saul understood that the stubborn Frim's willingness to follow them to Sky City was actually taking a big step. But he didn't intend to freely give Frim the plan he and his fate targets had discussed together.

Moreover, he also needed more ideas for brainstorming.

"You don't even dare to think about it? Then you might as well go back and huddle in the Maze Corridor." Gorsa crossed his arms, tilted his head, and unceremoniously threw out a taunt.

Frim didn't argue with Gorsa, just stared straight at Saul.

Saul shrugged. "Do you know what the essence of the world is? We're not sixth-rank, so naturally we don't know. But we're not trying to solve the problem—we're giving a wrong answer."

Douglas suddenly looked down at the ground. "Wanting to create an essential law that a sixth-rank would acknowledge isn't something you can accomplish."

He immediately negated Saul's idea.

Saul calmly listened to him continue, since if Douglas truly didn't approve of his conception, he wouldn't be standing here right now.

"However, slightly affecting a sixth-rank's thoughts and causing some hindrance to its eruption is also possible." Douglas unceremoniously instructed, "I'll help you all transform this island together, but before the abyss completely erupts, I won't allow you to affect the abyss's eruption progress."

"That's no problem." Saul said with lowered eyes.

The prerequisite for Douglas helping them fight the abyss was indeed that the abyss must completely erupt before resistance.

So in the prophetic dream, when Iskaper Continent—which was least affected by the black tide—was swallowed by the Abyssal Eye, had Stat Continent and Nephret Continent already been completely devoured by the Abyssal Eye due to failed resistance?
