Chapter 709: Ambush
Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance
In just seven days, many stunning changes had co to pass in Feinan.
It was also enough ti for Marvin to make his preparations to leave.
Wayne was still asleep in the Sky Tower.
Marvin transferred a part of his authority as the Sanctuary Lord to Constantine. This middle-aged Sha had already obtained Marvin’s trust through many battles.
After Marvin left, White River Valley’s safety would be entrusted to Constantine and the others. In any case, with the power of the Sanctuary and the help of the Legends Marvin controlled through the Book of Nalu, unless a large-scale invasion happened, White River Valley should be safe.
As for the threat of the Three Northern Cities, it felt like a much more distant problem after the appearance of Green Harbor.
The High Elves had a very domineering attitude. They wouldn’t usually get involved in others’ affairs, but their territory was inviolable.
The Wood Elves and the High Elves watched over each other and there was only one path between the two forces, not leaving much room for Eve to manoeuver.
Not to ntion that Ivan and Marvin’s friendship was pretty good, and although his relationship with Butterfly was sowhat unclear, it didn’t seem bad.
Because of all this, Marvin wasn’t very worried that White River Valley would suffer an attack once he departed.
He didn’t ticulously conceal the news of his own departure. On the contrary, he ordered everyone to spread the news that he had already left White River Valley.
This would be the best ways to dissuade other Legends from attacking White River Valley to seek out Marvin.
They had always focused their sights on Marvin.
He deliberately stayed on their radar for so ti after leaving the territory before suddenly disappearing!
Endless Path!
...
When Marvin was a 1st Rank Ranger, the path from River Shore City to the Three Ring Towers seed to stretch so far.
And now, he had beco a Half-Plane Guardian powerhouse, and the world seed small and flat.
With Endless Path, he could cross the distance with a thought by consuming a large amount of stamina or Fate Power.
He had always had to watch his stamina consumption before, but since he obtained the 4th Fate Tablet, Marvin felt a change in the False Divine Vessel.
He could obtain a steady flow of Divine Power from the False Divine Vessel now. He couldn’t see specifics data, but Marvin could feel that this was a huge amount.
It could be assud that this Divine Power was related to the 4th Fate Tablet.
With this to support him, he would be able to fight more tenaciously. He already expected that the path to complete the Book of Nalu would be a war of attrition.
The entire Universe was seeking out the Fate Tablet in Marvin’s Divine Vessel.
This feeling didn’t make Marvin feel horrible or awed, but excited instead.
He could still rember the ti when a dozen of Half-Gods tried to pursue him when he had just completed the ascension quest in his past life, almost managing to kill him.
He also rembered the scenes of himself going deep within the enemy lines ti and ti again before his body was too injured to continue on easily.
Whenever this happened, his blood would start boiling.
Deep within him, he loved to take risks.
The pressure of facing others was the best challenge in Marvin’s eyes!
Facing one challenge after another and prevailing over all of them; that was living!
This was Marvin’s creed.
To protect that which was important to him, he would have to keep pushing his way past many obstacles. It was a cycle that might never stop!
Until he died!
...
When Marvin disappeared, the forces all over the Universe spread this information.
The Gods from the Astral Sea started using Divine-level Divination to look for Marvin’s specific whereabouts.
But before that happened, Marvin had already appeared at the Pearl Tower, south of Rocky Mountain.
Unexpectedly, Marvin didn’t go directly to the three places known to have pages of the Book of Nalu after leaving White River Valley. He headed to Pearl Tower first, the sacred place that kept all kinds of information about Feinan’s history.
He ca in touch with Mark 47 through the usual trick before entering Pearl Tower.
He had once received a mission to gather mory Chips, but unfortunately, he hadn’t found any more after the initial ones. But he supposed that the reward that seed so significant back then also wasn’t so desirable now.
He didn’t co this ti to talk about the mory Chips.
"Wormhole Pearl?"
A strange laugh ca out of the construct after hearing this. "That is a very precious treasure, what do you intend to exchange for it?"
"Give a price." Marvin also didn’t have too much hope that Mark 47 would comply.
But when the Three Fate Sisters visited him earlier, Ding had reminded him that he had yet to honor his promise.
Because he had been way too busy, Marvin had completely forgotten about the Eternal Ti Dragon locked in the prison at the end of the Universe. He would have rembered eventually because they did have a contract, but it was still quite bad to forget the promise.
Feeling guilty, he went to look for Mark 47 when he left White River Valley to get his hands on the Wormhole Pearl.
If he could successfully trade for it, it would be an aweso acquisition.
If he couldn’t, then he would just have to see what Mark 47 would be willing to trade it for. In the end, Marvin was only a mortal, what he could do was limited.
But Marvin didn’t expect Mark 47 to lead with the words, "I can give you the Wormhole Pearl."
"But you have to exchange sothing for it."
Marvin froze in surprise. "What thing?"
The construct said with its unique, hoarse voice, "The Essence Absorption System in your body."
Marvin frowned!
...
Half an hour later, when Marvin’s figure appeared once more in the land south of Rocky Mountain, his body was a bit different.
After thinking for a bit, Marvin decided to agree with the terms!
The Wormhole Pearl was the key for Tiramisu to get out of his jail, and the Essence Absorption System in Marvin’s body.
With the final evolution of his advanced False Divine Vessel, the system had started to slowly beco less necessary for him.
It might have been critically important to his improvent at the start, but that was no longer the case.
And although the system had helped him a lot, it was lacking when it ca to advancent through the Legend Realm, which required Comprehension points. Marvin’s leveling speed at that point had been too slow through the Essence Absorption System.
But what about the advanced False Divine Vessel?
The complete version of the advanced False Divine Vessel had the frightening ability to absorb Divine Source with good efficiency.
Each ti he absorbed a certain amount of Divine Source, Marvin’s strength would increase. He had already levelled from this effect!
Marvin felt that this False Divine Vessel was the most valuable treasure he had gotten since coming to Feinan!
Thus, the deal went smoothly.
Marvin obtained the Wormhole Pearl, and Mark 47 obtained the system he had always wanted!
Because the system in his body had incomplete, there were so Laws that forced him to stay in Pearl Tower.
Now, with Marvin’s Essence Absorption System, he could finally break through and leave as he wished.
Before departing, Marvin watched the construct walk out of Pearl Tower and heading for the depths of the Wilds.
In this world, every lifeform had their own stories. He wouldn’t get too involved, but he had a feeling that this construct who had once followed the God of Creation, Lance, had an even bigger secret.
"We will et again."
This was what the construct told Marvin before leaving.
Marvin wasn’t so sure that would be the case. He was now facing a large crisis, and all he could do was to keep pushing ahead.
One step after the other.
Marvin suddenly felt an intense feeling of danger!
"Woosh! Woosh! Woosh!"
Three shadows appeared in Marvin’s sight.
Anuba Grant’s Son.
Eve.
And one leisurely smiling old man.
"To be honest, I originally didn’t dislike you." Marvin glared coldly at Eve as he gently grasped the hilts of Sodom’s Blades. "Even though during the battle against Dark Phoenix, it was your subordinate that did sothing stupid, I didn’t bla you."
Eve calmly interrupted, "I know what you want to say, but unfortunately, we are bound to be enemies."
Marvin spat in disgust, "And you are keeping the reason a mystery."
Holy Paul smilingly asked, "Stalling for ti? There is no need, we already sent people to keep those three girls from Rocky Mountain busy. Mister Marvin, you already have nowhere to go. Actually, I quite like you, but Miss Eve wants to kill you. She claims that you are the Fate Destroyer. I don’t really believe in these things. However... killing an insignificant Human in order to get the right to preach in the Three Northern Cities, I believe this is worth it."
Eve drew her Holy Sword and pointed it at Marvin. "Sorry."
"I only do what I must."
Light erupted from the Holy Sword and transford into a long streak aiming at Marvin!
