Abe the Wizard (WN)

Wizard Basham continued to attack with his ten thousand sea monsters, but the more he did so, the more his heart sank.

He had never heard of any Inner World with the power to withstand ten thousand legendary rank attacks at once, even in the oldest documents. Although the attacks were all direct ice attacks, they were unleashed by those sea monster's natures. They were much more powerful than wizard spells!

What was happening? Had Abel already used up the World Stone Heart? As far as he knew, the Tree of Life with the Elves did not change, so that shouldn't be the case!

As the attacks continued, a strange energy suddenly shot out from Abel's Inner World!

All of the sea monsters were affected, and even Archangel Tyrael, fighting with Little Bro in the distance, felt it.

The Dragon God paused, but Little Bro continued fighting. The strikes he landed on Archangel Tyrael began to increase.

Archangel Tyrael spit out a mouthful of golden blood, and it turned into a blinding spark. As it did so, Archangel Tyrael vanished from the spot.

The reason he had successfully escaped from the Dark World before was because of this trick!

Just then, he sensed a familiar energy that reminded him of the trauma he had gone through, and the deaths of all of his comrades.

It was an energy from a world ruled by Hell. Since Little Bro was a Hell demon, Archangel Tyrael could only think of one explanation: Hell had arrived!

Without hesitation, he knew he had to leave!

Little Bro reacted slowly as his demonic powers were burned by the Light Energy. After he successfully penetrated the glow, Archangel Tyrael was already gone.

Little Bro immediately turned to Abel.

The Dragon God regained himself and realized that the horrifying energy was not targeted at him.

But one thing was certain: a top ruler of the world had appeared!

As his ten thousand sea monsters stood frozen in midair, Wizard Basham was stunned. He was being suppressed by energy! But unlike Archangel Tyrael, his research into Inner Worlds allowed him to make the best decision.

After all, he was the President and he had gone through all of the best research.

He remembered a method of sacrificing one's own inner World to counteract the suppression of a more powerful Inner World.

This research was laughed at by all wizards, but Wizard Basham had decided to alter it, and now it became his lifesaver.

When he sensed Abel's energy, he knew he was no longer a match for the man. Abel had reached the state he had always dreamed of.

But how? It was too late to think, his main task was to escape!

The Inner World above him donated one-fifth of its energy and formed another Inner World with all the elements. This process was not a good thing, and Basham's face went pale.

After the replica Inner World was formed, Basham pushed it forward and it blasted open. At the same time, he spit out a mouthful of blood as he activated a Teleportation scroll.

He had no time to take back his sea monsters, all he could do was use up more Teleportation Scrolls crazily.

Abel's new power was scary, but he did not take any risk as a result of it. He knew his Inner World was being crazily attacked by the sea monsters so he unleashed a powerful energy from the Dark World before he returned to the Central Continent.

The attacks stopped but by the time he appeared, Wizard Basham was gone, and so was Archangel Tyrael.

There were nowhere to be found, not even in his sensory range of seventy kilometers. The only thing left were the ten thousand sea monsters and the eighteen God Rank Wizards preparing to Flash away.

With a wave, all of the sea monsters entered Abel's Inner World and they were thrown into the golden glow of the World Tree.

Slowly, those sea monsters forgot about their original owner and became the sea monsters of the Great Abel. They were reborn and were thrown into the oceans of the Dark World afterwards.

This did not have much impact on the power of the already powerful Dark World, but it was diversifying its species.

——

As Abel was getting everything sorted, Wizard Basham appeared a few hundred kilometers away and spit out another mouthful of blood. His Inner World was on the verge of breaking, and he kept taking out treasures from his portal bag to stabilize it.

"I will have my revenge!" he grunted.

But he was not confident. How could he go against the Ruler of a world, unless he had the World Stone Heart and fused it with the Tree of Life!

He kept Flashing away as he thought to himself that Abel might catch up if he stopped for even a single moment.

He soon saw a figure emerging in front of him. It was Archangel Tyrael. Since both of them were escaping from Abel, they had chosen the same direction.

Archangel Tyrael had a head start, but the loss of blood was slowing him down.

Those two beings were supposed to rule this world, but both of them ended up as a joke to someone they had thought was weak.

"Abel has broken the barrier of Rank 45!" Wizard Basham muttered.

"Yes, Abel controls the Dark World. But how did he take it from Hell? He doesn't have the power!" Archangel Tyrael shook his head.

He had done a lot of speculating as he was escaping, and he had scrapped his initial idea.

If Hell really had invaded, it wouldn't be this low key. Massacres would already be happening everywhere, and the stench of Hell would have engulfed the place with large numbers of Hell Creatures.

Since that did not happen, then Abel must have somehow found a way to take the Dark World away from Hell!

This might also explain why Abel had control of a Hell Demon!

Wizard Basham held back his pain and fear as he said to his new ally, "We can't win, and he will come after us. Any good ideas?"

"No idea, unless we take control of a world that is just as powerful!" Archangel Tyrael shook his head.

"You mentioned that the Dark World belonged to Hell, right? How about we ask Hell for help?" Wizard Basham proposed.

"Basham, if we mess with Hell, our souls will forever become its toy!" Archangel Tyrael answered with a cold gaze, signaling to Wizard Basham that there was no way.

"We don't have to expose ourselves. Just find a way to send Hell a message so it will go after Abel. If Abel loses the Dark World, he wouldn't be invincible!"

Archangel Tyrael paused, as that might work!

There was a saying: The ones who knew you the best were not your friends, but your enemies!

Heaven and Hell had been in conflict for too long, and both sides had a deep understanding of one another.

What Wizard Basham suggested was not impossible, they just needed to sacrifice something.

"I need a hundred kilos of Dimension Rocks, fifty kilos of Blood Flame Crystals, three hundred kilos of Eternal Jade, and one million human souls!" Archangel Tyrael stated grimly.

Wizard Basham hesitated. He might have those materials in his portal bag, but where could he find one million souls?

Destroying a large city? He would be forever hated if he did something like that!

The reason the Holy Kingdom was hated by the entire central continent was because it massacred civilians!

"Basham, are you worrying about the materials or souls?" Archangel Tyrael asked deeply, seeing Wizard Basham hesitating.

"The souls. The entire continent will turn on me if I kill a million people!" Wizard Basham shook his head.

After all, that's why he had ventured out in the ocean to kill sea monsters in order to break his Rank 44 plateau. Humans souls would have been much higher quality.

"Basham, history is written by the ruler. Once you gain control of the world, you can shape the narrative however you want!" Archangel Tyrael stated with confidence.

Wizard Basham took a deep breath and asked, "Are you sure Hell won't come after us that way?"

"Of course, I want to beat Abel, but I also don't want Hell to take over this world!" Archangel Tyrael smiled.

The decision was made, and the operation would soon begin!
