"Swoosh."
The Absolute Divine Realm could not hold back this person's arrival. Seeing this figure, the second prince was overjoyed and cried out, "Minister Farron, you arrived just in time. The Princess Royal seems to have misunderstood me. Please explain to the Princess Royal for me, or let Father come and judge it for himself."
Originally, the second prince had already despaired. He was an ambitious man, but when his life was threatened, it did not matter how big his ambition was. What he wanted now was the let the Princess Royal leave as soon as possible and save his life.
Farron's appearance represented that the King was beginning to intervene. Everyone knew that outside, Farron was the King's shadow and represented the King's position.
"Princess Royal, the second prince and you are siblings who share the same blood. Why are you fighting each other? His Majesty the King is deeply saddened by this. You should let your subordinates leave quickly. His Majesty will let bygones be bygones."
Farron's voice spread clearly to everyone's ears. Even the four full-shifters under the Princess Royal seemed to be somewhat shaken.
After all, no matter how powerful the Princess Royal's authority was, the King was still the supreme ruler of the royal family. The king was the one who truly held the greatest power in the royal family.
The Princess Royal's face turned ashen. She never expected that the King would suddenly intervene in their affairs. Farron's move destroyed her plan.
At this time, the Princess Royal looked at Merlin. Out of everyone here, perhaps only Merlin's strength was similar to Farron's.
Merlin's mouth was still fixed in a smile. He took two steps forward and said to Farron, "Minister Farron, I've admired the Minister from Phantom for a long time. However, the Minister is always very busy and I've never had a chance to learn from you. However, we have an opportunity now. I wonder if the Minister would be willing to give me some advice?"
"Advice?"
Farron suddenly laughed, but his expression immediately became cold. Farron was not an indecisive person. On the contrary, as the King's left and right hand, Farron's unceasing murders had frightened the King's enemies.
"Marquis Leon, it seems that you've made a choice. Very well. Princess Royal, I'll test Marquis Leon's true strength."
With that, Farron fiercely stomped.
"Boom."
The whole ground shook. At the same time, the surrounding space seemed to distort. Merlin felt a white fog appear and begin to envelop him.
In the white fog, Merlin could not see anything outside. He could only see Farron's figure standing still at the same spot in the white fog.
"A Supreme Talent?"
Merlin looked around curiously. The thick white fog did not seem to be an ordinary white fog and was filled with hidden dangers, giving him a strong sense of threat.
"Leon, now I regret saving you from Doomsday. That's because I never intended on having to kill you after saving you, " Farron said calmly from the white fog, as if killing Merlin was an insignificant thing.
"Even though we've already climbed this high, there are still many things that we cannot help. However, Minister, I'm no longer the same as when I was hunted down by Doomsday. I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to kill me."
"Boom."
After saying that, Merlin immediately shapeshifted. His body rapidly expanded and grew, and became almost three times as large as the previous full-shifted Blood-eye Dragon.
The incomparably huge body carried an oppressive force that seemed to squeeze aside the surrounding white fog.
Moreover, Merlin's shifted form was no longer the Blood-eye Dragon. Although there was still a terrifying vertical eye and a pair of wings, and looked very similar to the Blood-eye Dragon, it was definitely not the Blood-eye Dragon.
"You're not the Blood-eye Dragon?"
Seeing Merlin's shifted form, even Farron who had seen many things, felt surprised. That was because he had never seen such an almighty beast before. Merlin's body had scales all over and there were even bony protrusions growing out like a hedgehog.
However, even in the ancient era, there had not been such a large hedgehog. Furthermore, he even had a pair of wings. In short, Merlin's shifted form was very strange and unlike anything Farron had seen before. It was also incredibly ugly.
"No matter what you are, today, you'll die!"
Farron's voice dropped as his figure disappeared completely, leaving behind a vast expanse of white.
"Hum."
Suddenly, the white fog began to move, constantly rotating and vaguely forming a squall and it also became extremely corrosive.
"Chi-chi-chi."
The white fog madly corroded the scales on Merlin's body, but at that moment even the scales on Merlin's body could not be removed which greatly shocked the hidden Farron.
Even against powerful full-shifters, they were powerless against his white fog's corrosion. This move alone would render most full-shifters helpless unless they had powerful Supreme Talents. However, people like that were very rare. After all, Farron already stood at the peak of the Holy Dragon Empire.
"Strangle!"
Since the corrosion did not work, Farron used Strangle. The white fog began to surge up again and turned into countless swords which formed a storm that whirled wildly and trapped Merlin within.
"Roar..."
Merlin finally reacted. He clenched his fists and performed a simple punch.
"Boom."
Just the pure strength of this one punch alone was too powerful to imagine. Even if the white fog swords were incredibly dangerous, they could not break past Merlin's surface defense.
"How is this possible? The Blood-eye Dragon is not this powerful!"
Farron's shocked voice sounded from the fog. He was well informed and naturally knew the strength of the Blood-eye Dragon. However, under the condition that its Supreme Talent was not enhanced, the Blood-eye Dragon was limited in strength and was no match for Farron at all.
Still, Farron could not do anything to Merlin.
Seeing that Farron had used two killing moves at once, Merlin slowly grew calm. Although his Supreme Talent did not improve at all despite devouring so many almighty beasts' will, he had embarked on another path instead, which was to continuously strengthen the almighty beast's body.
The strengthening of the almighty beast's body could actually reach this point. Perhaps he could not break Farron's white fog, but Farron was unable to hurt him either. Once his body became strengthened to this extent, nothing would be able to kill Merlin.
"Why can't I kill you?"
Farron's expression gradually became grim. He hesitated for a moment before making a firm decision. The white fog immediately started to roll and boil, and emitted a greater aura.
Farron was about to use his final move. He did not believe that he could not kill Merlin, whose Supreme Talent had not increased at all.
The white fog covered the heavens, and there seemed to be faint roars from almighty beasts. Each almighty beast condensed by the white fog began to roar loudly. It did not seem like an illusory almighty beast, but an almighty beast that possessed a powerful attack.
The heads of mid-tier and even high-tier almighty beasts all appeared as fog in front of Merlin. Their numbers started at a dozen and continued to increase.
Merlin could feel the power of these fog almighty beasts.
After a long while, Merlin said slowly, "I finally know your Supreme Talent. Minister, your Supreme Talent is Mirror. This fog of yours is actually a mirror image. It's no wonder you could save me from Doomsday. It's no wonder that Doomsday immediately left after seeing you. Mirror is not weaker than Doomsday's Soul of Light at all. In a sense, they're both a little similar."
Merlin observed for a long time and finally figured out Farron's Supreme Talent. It was Mirror. Perhaps it was mixed in with some other abilities, such as confusion, but the main one was Mirror.
This ability was quite terrifying. Farron could re-manifest any almighty beast or powerful existence he knew through the Mirror Supreme Talent. They would have more than 50% of their real fighting capacity, or perhaps even stronger. Merlin would have to give it a try in person.
This Supreme Talent was very powerful. Even Doomsday was unwilling to fight with Farron. Once cast, Doomsday's Soul of Light would not be able to trap so many almighty beasts from Mirror.
A smile appeared on Farron's lips. He seemed to be full of confidence after seeing so many 'mirrored' almighty beasts. He said calmly, "Yes, Leon, your guess is right. My Talent is indeed Mirror. You're the first one besides the royal family and Doomsday to have guessed my Supreme Talent. Now, you'll have a good taste of the ancient almighty beasts' impact, haha..."
Farron laughed, and with a wave of his hand, the dozens of mirrored almighty beasts charged wildly towards Merlin. Their power made it seem like they really were the ancient almighty beasts.
Merlin seemed to have returned to the ancient era. The strange almighty beast he shifted into also gave out a loud roar. Whether it was the Blood-eye Dragon's will or the new almighty beast's will that was formed by the fusion of the Blood-eye Dragon and others, it seemed to become full of fighting spirit as if provoked, and roared loudly in his Awareness.
"Kill!"
Merlin's shifted form depended entirely on the strength of his body. It was a completely different path that Farron and Doomsday walked. The path of strengthening an almighty beast's body was one that only Hosts could walk, and perhaps Merlin was the only one who did not fear being devoured by the almighty beast's will.
"Bang bang bang."
Merlin was the most ferocious of the ancient almighty beasts. Under his impact, no almighty beast was able to block him. The spikes that covered his body were his most powerful weapon. Only a slight touch was needed to completely pierce these mirrored almighty beasts.
Merlin combined the wills of many almighty beasts before such a strange appearance was born. It seemed like it was made for battle. Every part of its body was a terrifying weapon.
In just a short amount of time, Merlin smashed dozens of mirrored almighty beasts and turned them back into white fog. These almighty beasts could not threaten Merlin at all.
However, there was no trace of a smile on Merlin's face. On the contrary, his expression became grim because even after he just smashed dozens of almighty beasts, the white fog quickly gave birth to dozens more with no end in sight.
"Merlin, it's no use. This is my Mirror's space. It doesn't matter how many almighty beasts you kill, because the power here is cycled and endless. If you continue killing like this, even I won't be able to do anything against you. I'll only be able to let you tire yourself to death, haha..."
Farron's laughter seemed to come from every direction.
