novelThe Final Victor!
| ← Ch.1043 | Ch.1045 → |
"Rumble."
Space kept splintering apart ceaselessly. The Bluewater World's will started to become anxious and frantically summoned all of its natural order's power to oppose Moorta.
Nonetheless, Moorta had attained great powers. Now, no one could stop him. Thus, each time he attacked, he was able to swiftly smash the natural order's power. The entire Bluewater World was scattered and smashed, on the brink of collapse.
However, no one noticed that Mino had not moved at all through all this as if he had disappeared. Nonetheless, Merlin knew that Mino was making a final effort, wildly devouring the Bluewater World's will that was gradually crumbling. He was trying to replace the Bluewater World's will and quickly become a Controller before Moorta could destroy it.
Moorta would not be comparable to Mino by far if Mino controlled the entire Bluewater World. It was just that all these were still unknown factors. From the looks of it, there was not much hope.
It appeared that Moorta's force was growing stronger as he shattered the last of the natural order, causing the full collapse of the Bluewater World. Moorta becoming a Free Being seemed to be inevitable, something no one could prevent.
At this point, Naya finally laughed out loud and said calmly, "Merlin, Aruba, you're ultimately too late. Moorta will become a Free Being and no one can stop this!"
Naya's tone revealed his robust confidence. During this mission, he had not even taken Merlin and Aruba seriously.
"Is that so? Who can tell before the final moment?"
Merlin's expression was as serene as always but his eyes were slightly narrowed. Deep inside, he was not as calm as he appeared.
He had stayed in the Bluewater World for over a millennium and expended a lot of effort. Naturally, he would not be happy to suffer defeat. Thus, he was still anticipating the final miracle!
Moreover, this miracle was occurring now!
"Boom."
Suddenly, the entire space shuddered violently and a hole was almost ripped in the sky. The mountains and rivers on the ground began to fall apart. However, only Moorta felt that something was wrong. Despite his immense strength, the Bluewater World should not be collapsing so fast.
"Something's wrong."
Moorta's face shifted slightly. He turned his focus toward Mino. This person who seemed to him no more than an ant, easily pulverized, was now exhibiting a fearsome aura.
This aura caused Moorta to feel vaguely suffocated as if he was faced with a terrifying existence ten times, a hundred times greater than the natural order's power.
"What's going on?"
Moorta was unclear about what was happening. Even so, Merlin, down below, knew all this very well. He had observed the expression of incomparable anguish on Mino's face but could distinctly feel that the Bluewater World's will was swiftly vanishing.
A large portion of this will was wrecked by Moorta but an equivalent portion was devoured by Mino. Therefore, it looked as if Mino was helping Moorta to destroy the Bluewater World.
Naya was a Controller too. The Bluewater World's will continued deteriorating even as Moorta had stopped his attack on the natural order. The Bluewater World's will was still disappearing at a terrifying speed. Thus, would Naya still not understand what Mino was doing?
"You're devouring the world's will? You... You both are letting him replace the Bluewater World's will and become a Controller?"
Naya's face revealed his alarm for the first time. He had never thought that Merlin and Aruba would be this insane. Initially, the objective of this mission was for the Bluewater World to produce a Free Being. The mission would then be completed.
However, if Bluewater World produced a Controller, Sir Tyron was sure to be overjoyed. After all, a Controller was much stronger than a Free Being. It was just that a Controller was more difficult to produce than a Free Being. In general, a myriad of Latitude Regions could only possibly produce one.
Even so, Naya could not bring himself to feel any joy now because a Latitude Cosmos could not produce a Free Being and a Controller at the same time. A Free Being must destroy the world's natural order, causing the collapse of the Latitude Cosmos. Conversely, a Controller must replace the world wholly and control a Latitude Cosmos. Both of these were natural antithesis of each other.
Therefore, a Latitude Cosmos could only give birth to one Controller or one Free Being. If Mino succeeded, he would become a Controller. At that point, naturally, Moorta would fail.
Once Moorta failed, Naya would likewise suffer a crushing defeat in this mission!
"Moorta, quick, use all of your strength to break this world and you'll become a Free Being! Otherwise, it'd be too late..."
Naya immediately yelled furiously to Moorta who was in the sky, revealing a trace of panic. A millennium might not be much to him but if he failed at the hands of Merlin and Aruba, it would be something he would never let go.
Moorta had sensed the crisis. Although he did not know what Mino was doing, he knew that the current situation did not look too good.
Therefore, Moorta mustered all his terrifying strength, practically causing the Bluewater World's will to tremble. There was only a little bit left of the current Bluewater World's will.
"Devour! I'll replace the world's will, control Bluewater World, and become a Controller!"
Mino cried out in his heart and his expression turned fierce. Of course, he could sense the power that Moorta was gradually gathering. This fearsome power was enough to completely shatter the remaining natural order of the Bluewater World. At that point, no one would have any way of stopping Moorta from becoming a Free Being.
Therefore, Mino must now take a risk, exhausting all his possibilities to become a Controller first and thoroughly control the Bluewater World.
"Break for me!"
Moorta wore a sinister look as well as he assembled all his strength and exploded in an unparalleled attack. This would be his final strike. Such fearsome strength was enough to smash the final strand of the natural order.
"Rumble."
Accompanied by a thunderous explosion, the entire Bluewater World started to sway and shake. Space was shattered to pieces everywhere and all mountains and rivers crumbled. The entire world seemed to be ending.
A smirk finally flitted over Moorta's lips. He had finally defeated all of the natural order's power. He could finally become an even stronger Free Being, transcending the Latitude Cosmos!
Nonetheless, his smile did not last long because he had discovered that the initially shattered space gradually halted while those mountains, rivers, and the fissured earth gradually stabilized as well. All these did not collapse completely.
"This..."
Moorta's heart leaped in alarm. He did not know why this would happen. After taking such a fearsome blow from him, the Bluewater World should have been crushed to smithereens and crumbled completely. It should not look like this. Although the entire world still looked cracked and broken, it was very sturdy and there was even a subtle life force concealed within.
"Hoo..."
The gale in the sky stopped all at once too. Moorta saw that it did not vanish but was solidified. Everything in his surroundings had solidified, resuming their initial appearance.
Mino, who was at one side now wore a tranquil expression but he was exuding a power that caused Moorta to become scared witless. It was as if the current Mino was an avatar of the world and no force would be able to harm him.
"Buzz."
Suddenly, Mino opened his eyes. Currently, everything around him seemed to come alive. His eyes had looked bewildered and lost at first but now they were matchless abstruse.
"So, this is a Controller..."
Mino's voice sounded calm as it rang out in everyone's ears.
"Restore!"
Mino eyed the wrecked mountains and earth and pointed lightly with a breezy gesture that did not appear special at all. His pointing mobilized the entire world. The landscape and the earth were rapidly restored at a visible pace. A tremendous will descended, causing one to feel dread in the depths of their heart.
"Controller?"
Naya's face turned pale as his eyes fixed steadily upon Mino in the sky. This power was too familiar. Only a Controller could have such an influence on a Latitude Cosmos. Without them realizing it, Mino had completely replaced the Bluewater World's will, controlled Bluewater World, and become a Controller!
"Haha, a Controller. Brother Merlin, we've done it. That young fellow Mino is lucky indeed..."
Aruba chortled. A Controller... He was able to witness the evolution of a Controller over a millennium.
"A Controller, you... How did you become a Controller?"
Naturally, Moorta was the most surprised. Initially, he had reached the critical point of becoming a Free Being. He only had to shatter the world's natural order to finally evolve into a Free Being.
If Mino had not been here, Moorta would become a Free Being without any issues. It was just a shame that in this tiny Bluewater World, not only was Moorta born but Mino was born as well.
Moreover, Mino used the world's outline as his Power Seed. He was very lucky. Even if another Controller arrived, they would be unable to replicate this sort of luck. After all, Mino only managed to have the world's outline as his Power Seed helped him through various opportunities and extreme coincidences.
All this, along with Merlin's bold planning, ultimately led to Mino taking the risk and swallowing the world's will, thus succeeding in becoming a noble Controller.
Moorta was stupefied. Although he had not become a Free Being, he had learned quite an amount of "secret information" from Naya. He knew that Naya was a great Controller, an even stronger existence than Free Beings.
However, Mino was now a Controller, making Moorta feel like everything was as surreal as a dream.
Mino was now very tranquil and he looked at Moorta quietly. Slowly, he said, "Moorta, I still have to thank you. Without your strength that caused the world's will to collapse, I'll have no way of devouring the will, much less become a Controller successfully! Still, our fate has been tangled for so many years and there should be a conclusion now."
Mino's expression was very calm and did not even carry a hint of murderous intention. He had become a Controller. Naturally, he felt different from the rest. He had completely surpassed Moorta and held a different status from the others in the Latitude Cosmos.
A status like this was like an immense moat that could not be crossed over. The hostility of the past seemed to count for nothing now. If Mino was willing, he could even use the power of the Bluewater World to resurrect all of his relatives who had died.
This was because he was the sole Controller of this Latitude Cosmos. A single thought from him could accomplish many things that were unimaginable to most people. Even the current Moorta who could shatter the natural order was not a match for Mino.
However, when Moorta sensed Mino's calm gaze on him, he appeared to become rather deranged. Moorta laughed wildly."Haha, Mino. Back then, I've killed your relatives myself. Today, you'll end up the same. If I want to kill you, who can stop me? Haha, die then..."
Moorta's deranged voice could not conceal his intense fear but he had no choice now. He could only put up a fight as best as he could. He had never thought that one day he would face a fatal crisis as well.
Even so, Mino shook his head. He no longer bore any hatred toward Moorta. However, a conclusion was required between both of them. This conclusion had already been determined long ago when Mino became a Controller.
"Subdue!"
Mino cried out. Instantly, an incomparable force, which was ten times, a hundred times more overpowering than the previous power of the natural order, entrapped Moorta like a prison that restrained him firmly.
No matter how Moorta struggled, it was useless. He had no way of breaking out of the prison. At this moment, Moorta was truly frightened. The previous ant-like Mino had now grown to a stage he must look up to.
"How's this possible?"
Moorta mumbled softly, his eyes filled with a frenetic look. In his panic, he noticed Naya below and his gaze seemed to burn with a trace of hope once more. Although he did not know how powerful Naya was, he knew that the only one who could rescue him now was Naya.
"Teacher Naya, save me!"
Moorta pleaded loudly but Naya did not intend to do anything. Conversely, he said in a low, vicious voice, "You're rubbish indeed, wasting a thousand years of my nurturing!"
Naya's words came as a sudden shock. Even though Mino had already controlled the Bluewater World and was as lofty as a god, he felt a shudder in his heart. He seemed to detect that strength, terrifying to the extreme, in Naya's body. Despite having become a Controller who controlled the Bluewater World, Mino was no match for Naya.
It was not just Naya but Aruba and his Teacher Merlin as well. Currently, he was a Controller and all of them were in the Bluewater World. He could feel the fearsome power contained in all of their bodies. They surpassed him by far and could easily destroy his Latitude Cosmos.
Nevertheless, he had no intention of sparing Moorta. Thus, with his mental command, terrifying power descended upon Moorta directly. Moorta wailed wretchedly and his body was crushed to smithereens in an instant. He was dead.
This was the conclusion. Both of them were tangled together for countless years. Today, there was finally a conclusion. Mino had become the final victor!
