Wizard: Adventures in Two Worlds-Chapter 567 - 21: Advancement

The Gando Kingdom was engulfed in flames of war. The frontlines continuously contracted inward with the Royal City at the center, and the resistance within the Royal City was exceptionally stubborn. For nearly three years, armies from all over the region clung to the city like nails.

Of course,

Other places inevitably fell.

It wasn’t just the remaining troops of the Gando Kingdom that wished to hold the Royal City, but also the Divine Gods from the Divine Domain.

Unfortunately,

The nobles of Gando had long since scattered and fled, and even within the Divine Domain, other Divine Gods eyed the Master of Dawn with hostility.

The situation did not improve over time; it grew increasingly dire.

As for Carl...

"Finally mastered the Third Ring Witchcraft—Annihilation Flame; it took so long."

He muttered to himself, his gaze fixed on the data panel.

Name: Carl

Constitution: 94

Spiritual Power: 60.8

Source Material: 0

Cultivation: Third Ring Wizard, Taboo Knight

Bloodline: Abyss Giant Squid (100%), Witch Demon (30%), Pale Wings (incomplete)...

After years of arduous training, he once again mastered a form of Third Ring Witchcraft, even with the consumption of a substantial amount of Source Material to enhance his spiritual power.

If he were to practice normally and construct a Magic Model, mastering a form of Third Ring Wizardry would take at least ten years.

Perhaps even decades!

"Fortunately, aside from witchcraft, I’ve achieved something else."

Collecting himself, Carl smiled and flexed his wrist, with cracking sounds like firecrackers coming from each joint.

Every crack sounded like a cannon firing, and the continuous noise resembled the never-ending roar of ocean waves.

If a person with a lesser constitution than a Great Knight stood beside him, they would die from the sound alone.

With over ninety points in constitution, his progress in Holy Demon Transformation could be described as rapid, so much so that despite focusing on witchcraft in recent years, this martial art was nearly at the peak of the Eighth Layer, just a step away from the Ninth Layer.

Progressing to the Ninth Layer would mean that Carl possessed a physique comparable to a Demigod.

Holy Demon Transformation extends to the Tenth Layer.

But even the creator of this skill did not achieve the Tenth Layer, as this realm is comparable to the Gods.

Aside from Holy Demon Transformation, the Myriad Buddha Hands also advanced.

Heart Buddha Hand!

If Thousand Buddha Hands is a Fourth Tier martial art, then Myriad Buddha Hands is Fifth Tier, and although Heart Buddha Hand doesn’t quite reach the Sixth Tier, it isn’t far off.

"Understanding the Divine Gift is akin to having the techniques of Fourth, Fifth, and even Sixth Tier masters instilled upon you, coupled with the divinity blessing from the Wisdom God, leading to the advancement of Myriad Buddha Hands, although mastering it requires time."

Carl sighed lightly.

Time is limited.

Even though Myriad Buddha Hands advanced, his realm remained at Thousand Hand Realm without change.

"It’s enough!"

"With Holy Demon Transformation nearing the Eighth Layer peak and mastery of four Third Ring Witchcrafts, and possessing the Pale Wings arm..."

Carl flexed his wrist: 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"It’s time to go back and take a look."

Otherworld.

As per usual practice.

The newly-promoted Legendary Knights of the base would gather at a certain time to pay respects to ’Divine Envoy’ Conni, who is indeed Carl.

This time was no exception.

Josie and Hume led seven new Legendary members into the grand hall, bowing one by one following the Holy Hall’s protocol.

"Rise."

Carl’s voice was low, his expression solemn.

Now he not only represented himself, but also served as the Moon Goddess’s voice in the Mortal World, requiring a certain level of authority.

"Josie."

He lowered his gaze towards the people below, a smile appeared on Carl’s face:

"You have done well, not only nurturing so many loyal knights for the Holy Hall but also maintaining your own cultivation. You have reached the Second Tier as a Holy Knight."

"Thanks to the Divine Envoy’s guidance, otherwise, it would have taken me longer to advance." Josie replied respectfully:

"As for the new Legendary members..."

"Their hard work and devotion, along with the effective management by Old Fran, Nicole, and others did most of the work, I had little to do with it."

"Hmm." Carl nodded slowly:

"Very good."

This humble yet capable attitude is favored by any leader.

"According to the Holy Hall’s past practices, one could be promoted to Elder after reaching the Second Tier, but the present circumstances differ from the past." Carl said:

"We have not yet fully taken control of the Holy Hall, and this is merely a base of the Holy Hall, so the matter of Elders will be discussed later."

"Understood." Josie replied:

"Divine Envoy, the Sixth Elder has sent a letter indicating his wish to unite with us in resisting the Holy Hall."

"The Sixth Elder?" Carl rubbed his chin:

"I remember she already allied with Dark Night."

The Sixth Elder, Doris, was once a loyal Holy Knight to the Moon Goddess and had allied with the Dark Night Goddess years ago.

It’s uncertain where the Dark Night Goddess originated, but it’s likely an Outer Realm Evil God. However, Doris has always believed it to be the soul of the deceased Moon Goddess, as without the moon, the skies fall into eternal dark night.

Having received the Divine Blessing, Doris naturally progressed to become a Taboo Knight, wielding extremely powerful strength.

"Indeed."

Josie replied:

"She does not consider herself to have betrayed the Goddess, considering that you have once received the Goddess’s blessing."

"So she believes we can join forces."

"Heh..." Carl chuckled lightly:

"Did you inform the others that I do not agree with the Sixth Elder’s perspective?"

"I did." Josie nodded:

"But the Sixth Elder believes we might try slowly making contact. Perhaps once you truly sense the presence of Dark Night, you will agree with her view. Besides, compared to the criminals presently entrenched in the Holy Hall, you are the most suitable ally."

"Seems like the Sixth Elder hasn’t lost her reason despite her devotion to an Evil God." Carl squinted:

"An alliance is possible, but she needs to show sincere intention."

"Sincere intention?" Josie looked thoughtful:

"The Sixth Elder has the heart of Pale Wings, and she has a good relationship with Duke Olaf."

"Oh!" Carl’s eyes flickered, a piece of news he was unaware of:

"Demigod Olaf?"

"Yes."

The room fell silent.

"With the collapse of the Divine Domain and the loosening of world rules, the world does not allow the entry of other Gods as long as the barrier remains." Carl said slowly:

"Demigod, thus becoming the strongest existence!"

"Divine Envoy." Josie suddenly spoke up:

"If the barrier does not allow other Gods entry, can our world give birth to new Gods?"

"This..." Carl frowned, his gaze flickering:

"Perhaps."

He lacked confidence, but if it was possible, the demigods here would become fervent.

No wonder the activities of the Dukes had been so frequent recently.

"To become a God isn’t easy; one must spread faith, ignite the Divine Fire, and grasp Divinity." Carl murmured:

"Perhaps..."

"They hold the method to becoming a God."

What’s gained from Alf does not allow a Taboo Knight to become Divine, but merely indicates such a path.

Exactly how to achieve it still needs to be discovered.

This world has several Dukes, some even with Divine parentage in their Demigod forms.

Gaining knowledge on the method to divinity seems not entirely beyond understanding.

"Additionally..."

Josie said in a low voice:

"The Holy Hall also sent an envoy."

"Is that so?" Carl looked up:

"Let them in."
