Diary of a Dead Wizard

Chapter 991: Saul, Fourth Rank

Many of these things were not useful to him, but the Stargate Council would definitely need them.

Saul planned to have the Stargate people collect those resources and wealth, then pick out what was useful to him later.

If the apocalypse weren't approaching, no one would say anything if he monopolized these resources. But now Saul hoped more to use these things in more useful places, strengthening their ability to resist the Abyssal Eye.

Otherwise, if the Abyssal Eye fully erupted and the entire world was destroyed, the resources Saul occupied would become waste—what value would they have then?

After Byron left, Saul sat alone in the room.

Now several consciousness bodies had been sent out by him, leaving only Penny and Little Algae by his side.

"Penny, you're responsible for patrolling the room, especially watching the movements across the way."

The silver butterfly immediately rushed out, circling once in front of Saul.

"Received, Brother Saul!"

"Ying ying ying ying."

Black slender tentacles emerged from Saul's nape, suddenly expanding and thickening, instantly changing from finger thickness to half-meter thickness.

This main stem continuously split and grew, spreading outward from Saul as the center. Soon the entire room was filled with black tentacles, like ivy crawling outside a house.

"Actually, there's no need to be so tense." Saul smiled and slowly closed his eyes.

His consciousness roamed within his body, passing through every inch of skin, crossing every bone, his gaze sweeping over meridians and organs, then winding through every groove of his brain.

"I remember."

Saul didn't open his mouth, but his voice transmitted from his skin pores.

The next second, Saul suddenly disappeared.

The clothes originally worn on his body collapsed to the ground.

Nightmare Butterfly and Little Algae couldn't understand what happened, but they both obediently stayed in place, not daring to breathe heavily.

Where did Saul go?

He was of course still here, even still in this room, but his bodily form had undergone a complete transformation.

After completing the five targets of the Symphony of Fate, he could advance at any time, but he had been suppressing it, not taking that final step.

Now, confirming that the situation was temporarily stable, the first thing Saul did upon returning to his residence was take that step.

Silent and soundless, yet a complete change in level regarding life.

From an angle no one could see, a mass of twisted and intertwined threads was suspended in the middle of the room.

This mass of threads was slowly expanding, slowly stretching and re-curling.

Like an infant struggling to flex its fingers, trying to re-cognize this world.

Saul, transformed into fate line form, quickly filled the entire room. The threads easily passed through walls and soil without any obstruction, directly penetrating through.

This was the same as red worms, but in this state Saul could only observe—he couldn't attack people like red worms could.

"If I can't attack at all, then where did the Death Demon nickname for those fate lines in the Prismatic World come from?"

Saul circled around and found that the living things nearby really were only Little Algae and Penny left. He couldn't very well use these two little ones for experiments.

Since he temporarily couldn't try attacking, Saul slowly calmed his mind, sensing the changes around him.

Around this mass of threads that was him, five red channels appeared.

These five channels were normally completely invisible; Saul could only vaguely sense his connection with the other five fate targets.

Today he saw the specific appearance of these connections for the first time.

Now each connection channel was filled with destiny force, like blood rapidly flowing through arteries, delivering life's nutrients to each of them.

Shaya, Floco, Mido, the Sighing Wall, and Gorsa—the destiny power fed back from them was almost constantly pushing Saul's development upward.

Now, if Saul wanted, he could even expand his fate lines to cover an area as large as the entire Olga Duchy.

Moreover, as Saul became more accustomed to his current form, he believed his radiation range would continue to expand. Someday, it could cover the entire wizard world!

It's just that with the threat of the Abyssal Eye approaching, this world might not leave Saul so much time to continue growing.

"Next, it's time to focus on solving the black tide apocalypse."

The clothes on the ground floated back into the air, like a reversed video, returning to human form, then Saul's figure reappeared.

He looked down at his hands, clenching his palms. He seemed to still look the same, but was actually vastly different from before.

The current Saul was only part of his original body; the real him was actually hidden at the center where the Symphony of Fate converged.

This way, even if this current body was crushed to powder by someone, Saul could always extract a small amount of limbs from the Symphony of Fate to become a new Saul.

Moreover, his original body continued to grow and metabolize under the nourishment of fate power, completely unafraid of consumption.

This was the power of a fourth-rank wizard!

Developing one's own power to the limit, completely transcending ordinary concepts of life and death.

As a bonus, Saul also gained a space belonging exclusively to himself. Now he no longer needed any spatial storage equipment—he just needed to place items at the center of the Symphony of Fate, next to his original body.

Even the anchor point originally stored at his left fingertip could be stored there, quietly and peacefully, showing no signs of wanting to contaminate nearby objects.

It was completely suppressed by Saul's fate line form.

"Brother Saul, have you completely entered fourth rank?"

Penny flew over again, but this time it didn't dare rest on Saul's head, always feeling that the Saul before it seemed real yet illusory, as if standing right there yet not there at all.

Little Algae had also completely lost connection with him when Saul disappeared just now, and was currently coiled on the ground with its little mouth open in confusion.

"Yes, finally... completely entered fourth rank." Saul raised both arms, his ten fingers flickering in and out of existence.

Penny was extremely joyful, "Haha, from now on I'm the sidekick of the world's most powerful fourth-rank wizard, I can walk sideways across the continent!"

Though Penny's words were exaggerated, they might well be fact.

Having completed his transformation, Saul lifted his hand to pull Little Algae back to his shoulder, "You can continue hiding in my body from now on. Unless absolutely necessary, I won't easily completely transform my form."

Little Algae was very happy, "whoosh" diving back into Saul's nape. Although its foundation was at the Purity Wizard Tower, it had long considered Saul as its other nest.

After settling Little Algae and cleaning up the slight "traces" left when he transformed into fate lines, Saul snapped his fingers. A set of black robes instantly appeared on him, much more convenient than taking it out from spatial tools.

"Let's go, we'll check on Byron and the half-elf's progress. If everything goes smoothly, we'll have the half-elf start laying eggs non-stop from today!"

"Haha, great!" Hearing Saul speak of the half-elf this way, Penny was unusually happy, "Let's go, time to act tyrannically!"
