'Thump thump~'

Within the volcano, above the erupting lava, the eggshell gestating the Demon suddenly developed cracks. Then in the next moment, the magical artifact that had been pierced into the embryo was suddenly ejected, and at the same time, the Demon embryo flashed with streaks of lightning.

Large amounts of the Mage Plane's fortune gathered into it. Especially now that the Mage Plane was experiencing systemic collapse, with the World Stone being polluted by a wizard's emotions, the Mage Plane instinctively allocated more resources to the prophesied child for self-preservation.

And this fortune supplemented the last bit of energy the Demon lacked.

Uliel saw this scene, clasped his hands behind his back, and smiled. "Complete."

Jel Fisher looked at his hands in confusion. He was shocked to discover he was no longer human, but rather a Demon. His body was composed of twisted earth elements, a substance similar to stone. Touching it didn't give the sensation of flesh, only the feeling of stone.

Uliel's eyes held subtle meaning.

Although initially he had indeed wanted to have the demon system occupy the dominant position in this plane before Sulla, he soon discovered this was unrealistic.

When two systems competed against each other, neither could occupy the majority position, neither could attract the world will's favor, neither could conduct the spell formation to reduce the world will's dimension and condense it into physical form. After he realized this, he immediately changed his approach.

The Dark Cave Scorpion Woman itself was one of his conceptions. Although Sulla had modified it extensively, Uliel still figured out his opponent's thoughts by reading Sulla's recent articles on the Bloodline School and designed the previous series of traps.

The Ultimate Demon originally needed to absorb the prophesied child's soul and fortune before it could be completed.

The completed Ultimate Demon would, under Sulla's creation, simultaneously gather all the twisted earth elements, that is, demonic energy, accumulated by his previous demon system. Next was the portion of destiny power from the world will actively investing large amounts of fortune into the embryo after being forced by Sulla. Finally, Jel Fisher, as a hybrid of Demon and human, was also a mage.

His soul overlapped with the Dark Cave, and with his help, at the instant of Jel Fisher's death, his soul completely merged with the Dark Cave, instantly transforming into a Mage Saint.

Thus, a special Demon gathering the identities of prophesied child, Mage Saint, and Ultimate Demon appeared, with his Demon form as the main body.

Uliel borrowed Jel Fisher's body to usurp the nest, directly using the demon system to invade the Mage system and mix the two, reaching a height that the two systems originally couldn't have achieved.

Uliel's soul, composed of demonic energy, floated in midair and told Jel Fisher, "Jel Fisher, hello."

"Now you simultaneously possess the power of us Demons and mages. You have the highest authority over the Dark Cave. You can still use the elemental spirits spewed from within the Dark Cave even without the authority Sulla gave you."

"You are now this Ultimate Demon. Congratulations."

Jel Fisher's face revealed great joy. "I've become the Ultimate Demon? Does this mean only I can curse Grand Demon God Sulla?"

Uliel nodded. "Yes, quickly storm into the World Hall."

"Stop that outsider."

At the same time, the appearance of the World Hall also underwent great changes. The Mage Saint Hall style was no longer the main body of the World Hall. The architectural style of the Demon race became the main body of this World Hall.

In an instant, Grand Wizard Sulla detected that the World Stone that had been extremely compatible with him became extremely resistant to him. Then in the next instant, he was actually ejected by the world power.

"How is this possible..." Grand Wizard Sulla's expression turned ugly as he turned to look behind him at the Demon Jel Fisher who had walked in through the world door he had pushed open, and Uliel following behind this Ultimate Demon.

"What happened? My Mage system has been usurped. The world will no longer favors me, but has instead turned its favor toward... Uliel."

At that moment, Uliel's soul had already arrived before the World Stone. He directly placed both his hands on top of the World Stone. Actually, Uliel's condition was even worse tha Grand Wizard Sulla's.

Grand Wizard Sulla at least still had two mobile bodies, while Uliel, because he had reached his soul's limit even earlier tha Grand Wizard Sulla, and also due to experimental failures, meant that as soon as his soul returned to his main body, his power would immediately burst his main body. Therefore, Uliel could only survive in this wandering soul form, barely clinging to life.

Now, Uliel looked at that World Stone, his eyes revealing a color of desire. "Finally... this World Stone is mine."

He quickly pressed both hands of his soul spirit constructed from demonic energy onto the World Stone. At the same time, his memory fragments and emotional fragments rapidly drilled into it. Unlike Grand Wizard Sulla, Uliel consistently used advanced meditation methods to control his mood. All the memory fragments and emotions transmitted were positive.

"Sulla, I actually gave you a chance. You just couldn't grasp it." Uliel said, "If you hadn't made a mistake just now, I could only have watched you successfully mark the World Stone and complete your ultimate magic."

"Jel Fisher, quickly stop him."

"We must join forces to stop this demon god."

Grand Wizard Sulla hadn't expected things would develop this way. He looked angrily at Jel Fisher. "Foolish, he's also an outsider."

Jel Fisher looked greedily at his hands, unmoved.

Immediately, Grand Wizard Sulla understood. This fellow Jel Fisher had long been aware but Uliel had given him powerful strength, strength comparable to a First Circle crystallization stage wizard.

That power made Jel Fisher forget himself. Naturally, Jel Fisher had no reason to oppose Uliel.

Grand Wizard Sulla's expression changed drastically. At the same time, Jel Fisher punched toward him. Demonic energy gushed out, and Grand Wizard Sulla was actually sent flying by a single punch.

Grand Wizard Sulla's treant clone attacked, striking toward Jel Fisher, but the branch blade transformed from the left hand hadn't even gotten close to Jel Fisher before being blocked by demonic energy.

That demonic energy was essentially mutated earth elements, naturally extremely heavy. Jel Fisher had essentially become an elemental lord creature, so his body spontaneously formed an elemental creature's elemental shell.

That wasn't the kind of superficial domain that mages had.

In other words, Jel Fisher was currently a genuine high-level First Circle magical creature, and this was Uliel's masterpiece as a prosthetic master. Essentially, Jel Fisher was Uliel's magic as a prosthetic master.

Grand Wizard Sulla had just stood up when Jel Fisher rushed over and pounded a fist hard into his chest.

Immediately, he was sent flying again. "Damn it. If my body wasn't so fragile, this level of magical creature is nothing more than a twisted earth elemental lord. What do I have to fear?"

"Uliel, it seems our grievances cannot end yet. As for what happened in the past, who was right and who was wrong, I can no longer distinguish." Grand Wizard Sulla stood up from the ground. "It seems this matter won't end until this experience is settled clearly."

Uliel turned to look at him. "You're out of cards, Sulla."

Grand Wizard Sulla pointed at Uliel and said, "Uliel, you completely miscalculated one thing. Jel Fisher's existence didn't just let your demon system invade my Mage system, it also let my Mage system invade your demon system."

"This gives me one final method."

In an instant, Grand Wizard Sulla used his last desperate method, and Uliel also immediately realized what Sulla was preparing to do. "Sulla, are you going to self-destruct the Dark Cave? You want to simultaneously detonate my demon system and your Mage system, making our combined century of effort go up in smoke."

"Have you gone mad? If you do this, you'll die immediately too. Although after I become a Second Circle wizard, I definitely won't let your Plutarch family off, at least you haven't reached a dead end yet."

Uliel rapidly calculated and discovered the possibility within, and he also realized that this development of events seemed to be something the Mage Plane was happy to see.

In this way, both of them would lose, while the Mage Plane's planar will would win. The Mage Plane would eliminate both of them while also receiving the assets they had left for this plane.

The Mage Plane's planar will would profit greatly.

Grand Wizard Sulla was thinking, 'Uliel's hatred for the Plutarch family is too deep. Although there are six Faith Towers protecting them, I still can't let him advance to Second Circle wizard. Moreover, if I can't advance this time, I'm not far from death. Since death is the same either way, the difference between dying early and dying late isn't that great.'

Uliel raised an eyebrow. "Damn it, you're actually going to self-destruct the Dark Cave."

The World Hall began to destabilize, looking as if the world power wanted to escape at any moment.

Uliel sighed. "Fortunately, I understand your personality and left contingency measures in advance."

Hearing this, Sulla immediately became tense and looked at Uliel.

Uliel then said, "Teacher, please act."

He took out a talisman from his astral ring. The talisman was a spatial positioning that could summon a distant person.

The next moment, a massive black-red bone skeleton giant appeared in the field. As soon as it appeared, it absorbed all surrounding death energy, as if it were the master of death.

This bone skeleton giant was a Second Circle wizard's ultimate magic. Behind this skeleton giant, a large expanse of bone land appeared faintly.

At the same time, under Grand Wizard Sulla's despairing gaze, Uliel shouted, "Teacher, quickly help me stabilize the World Hall, then help me control Sulla. Don't let him self-destruct the Dark Cave. I need to mark the World Stone. I'm just a little bit away from success."

"Teacher, after I become a Second Circle wizard..."

But the bone skeleton giant completely ignored Uliel's words. Suddenly, one hand grabbed the World Stone. The powerful ultimate magic collided with world power, immediately causing earth-shattering destruction. The floor of the World Hall composed of world power directly developed a huge gap.

The bone skeleton giant actually directly snatched away one-third from the World Stone, then turned to leave.

This unexpected development simultaneously stunned both Uliel and Sulla.

Even Locke, watching this scene through the True Sight Orb, was dazed.

Sulla then laughed uproariously, "Worthy of being a Black Wizard, hahahaha..."

"Uliel, it seems today neither of us will succeed."

The next moment, Sulla self-destructed the Dark Cave. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Locke placed this segment of the True Sight Orb into his astral ring, then sat in a chair, rubbing his brow. The value of that True Sight Orb had become extremely high.

After all, it completely stored the entire process of two wizards attempting to advance to Second Circle and failing.

Its reference value was extremely high.

Locke sat in the chair, digesting what he had seen from the True Sight Orb. "Advancing to Second Circle is indeed extremely perilous. One wrong step leads to failure."

"Whether Grand Wizard Sulla or Uliel, they had both made complete preparations, yet both fell to the Mage Plane's machinations. After the two sides finished fighting each other, ultimately it was the Mage Plane that achieved the greatest victory."

Locke said, "There's also the soul decline before breaking through to Second Circle, and the need to output positive emotions when marking the World Stone."

"These are all precious knowledge."

"Ultimate magic, Second Circle wizards, advanced meditation methods. Now I have roughly understood the relationships among them. Next, I need to find a way to obtain advanced meditation methods and find a medium-scale or larger world that hasn't been developed by wizards."

"I also need to establish an energy cycle in that world as the precursor to ultimate magic or a magic source, and find a way to make the world consciousness favor me."

"Although there are still many unknown things, knowing this much has already given me a certain understanding of Second Circle wizards, with hope of becoming a Second Circle wizard." Locke pondered, "At the same time, I'm already very proficient at compression methods."

"Next, advancing to First Circle crystallization wizard shouldn't have any obstacles. It's just a matter of time. So I should start collecting the resources needed to break through to Second Circle wizard now."

Locke said, "This time I won the Cloud Marsh Cup championship. Obtaining resources should be much easier than before."

"After winning the championship, more wizard organizations should send me teaching position invitation letters, and the quality should also improve several levels. I can wait and see if any wizard academies from the Star Domain Sea will send me teaching position invitations."
