Chapter 1051: Chapter 921: Narrow Encounter Between Foes

Saint Aiven City, White Swan Castle.

"Although the ’Chaos Worm’ has an absolute upper hand in the struggle.

As long as that old man who controls the passage is alive, the [Clock Tower] will not actively appear in the material world."

So far, in the entire recorded observational history of the material world, the [Clock Tower] has only actively appeared four times.

All due to the previous chief "Crowned Wizard" Graham needing to find a successor to save himself.

In the current situation, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it might never actively emerge from the seams of space-time to appear in the material world again.

"However, Miss Kongyu and I have determined the current location of the [Clock Tower] through astrology, and the nearest place to the material world is near the North Pole.

Moreover, this should be the closest the [Clock Tower] will be to the material world this year. It is expected to last for three days, enough time for us to complete our plan."

On the verge of obtaining a ready-made [Truth Embodiment], Milan felt an indescribable spirit.

Whereas others may need contributions to inherit the [Truth Embodiment], in the "Clock Tower School," all that’s needed is a... friend named Aiven Galliot.

Now, it has been another week since Milan and Kongyu successively broke through to "Crowned Wizard," and it’s now summer of the Sea Origin Calendar 202.

If following the normal process, even if the "Clock Tower School" has completed the [Truth Embodiment], it is far easier for members to ascend than in other schools.

But even an outstanding talent like Kongyu has an uncertain chance of advancing to Tier 4 Crowned, let alone Milan, who lacks ambition.

However, from the exploration "Behind the Door," receiving a large amount of [World’s Favor] and support from the duchy’s treasury.

It’s as if they were possessed by the "Child of the World," smoothly ascending to [Crowned Wizard] one after another.

Moreover, not only Milan and Kongyu, with ample resources on hand, having witnessed the cold reality of the world during the "Behind the Door" excursion, everyone is eager to strengthen their powers.

Olivia is preparing her [Truth Embodiment: Rose Mother], and the "Gem School" has nearly completed its knowledge accumulation, with little hindrance in completing the embodiment.

In the "Fengrui Church," after the installation of Angie’s idol, the young girl advances swiftly towards the [Goddess of Harvest].

Mother-in-law Nymph has taken a liking to the work of [Dream Reporting God], gaining power feedback from the "Dream Realm" by assisting the collective unconscious’s grievances for retribution.

The speed surpasses countless meditative approaches, and with a "Source of Nightmare" on par with a dolt at the forefront, a gamble might turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.

And as the biggest winner of the "Behind the Door" journey, Anita holds components extracted by Aiven from three [Demigods].

From the "Master of the Ice Flame Circle" and "God of Chaos," totaling three points of [Divinity], plus the [Wind and Rain Divine Position] from the "Feathered Serpent God," all refined by Aiven.

Quietly sitting there, her surroundings faintly echoed with the pleasing sound of wind and rain.

Clearly, with the essence of [Upper-Rank Sea Emperor Dragon], she has a high degree of integration with these external forces.

Meanwhile, sitting with a sword here, Liweina, having consumed the [Seven Gods Ladder], is entirely on the [Titled Knight] path.

Already having reached the limits of an extraordinary career before the passive undergoing of transformational endowments from higher beings’ [Divinity].

"This operation, besides Milan and Miss Kongyu, Hesi and Angie will assist while others remain on standby."

Aiven surveyed the Tier 4 combat power around, finally pointing out Olivia and Angie for their powerful self-augmentative capabilities.

This time, they might face the "Chaos Worm" which ranks among the top in power amongst the Evil Gods, rendering more numbers inutile.

"Additionally, Bess, connect me with ’Victory Angel’ Lady Adraste and Mr. Watt, as agreed, they will together hunt the [Clock Tower].

Those who do not plan for the future must have near-term worries; this offensive must ensure the ’Chaos Worm’ never rises again, crushing the Evil God’s illusions!"

As he spoke, Aiven had already risen to his feet.

The window period spans only three days, with uncertainty about when the Evil God might act; it’s better sooner than later.

"Your Majesty, ’Cosmic Dragon’ force and your Tier 5 essence are required to accurately locate the [Clock Tower] and forcefully breach into space-time seams.

Once contact with Mr. Graham is restored, we can bring the [Clock Tower] back into the material world, coordinating with ’Victory Angel’ and ’God of Steam and Mechanics’ to launch a joint operation...."

However.

Before she could finish, Kongyu, alongside Milan, both suddenly trembled, exclaiming:

"Not good! The [Clock Tower] has already been forcibly breached!"

...

In a colorful light-filled "river," indifferent to up or down, past or future, a massive silver clock tower floats up and down within the surging waves.

The "Clock Tower School" represents the first peak in the history of the Wizard School.

When the promotion ceremony failed due to a sneak attack by the "Chaos Worm," the [Mysterious Source: Clock Tower] devoured all the official members of the "Clock Tower School," becoming a wandering anomaly in the river of history.

Moreover.

It also possesses the ability to autonomously and randomly collect "lost items" worldwide, crossing a time scale unimaginable to mortals.

It has long been more than just a [Clock Tower]; it is a priceless [Treasure Pagoda] that Aiven has been coveting for a long time.

However, at this moment, there are two uninvited guests who have seized the rare opportunity and arrived first.

"Is this the first [Truth Embodiment] you wizards have completed? Since it’s the world’s first, does it get stronger the older it becomes, like a god?"

The voice appearing in [Mythical Form] seems to be a giant elephant made of the shadows of mountains.

Yet it has two legs and four arms, crystal-like transparent tusks, and at the end of its long trunk is a mouth filled with sharp teeth.

"Ha, that’s not necessarily true. In terms of destructive power alone, my ’Dark Flame’ school definitely won’t lose to any wizard school."

The sound of magma crawling echoes in this special space.

This is an indescribably colossal figure.

Massive solid materials boiling with dark desires and piercing malice are aggregated together, unimaginably large blood-red muscles rolling up, surrounded by flames burning fiercely around a body resembling a bull.

Seven horns, like inverted torches, are chaotically inserted in the bull’s enormous head, with horns like rock, smooth as steel, sharp as crystal.

The flames transform into a halo of heat like a corona, where ugly black spots flicker mottledly like sunspots.

It’s hard to tell whether the hot liquid is blood or magma, trickling down and flowing into that river of light.

After the previous brief but intense battle between the "Sea Monarchy" and the "God of Black Wings," the gods had already reached a new agreement.

Across the Material World, the Seven Gods began to restrain their demigod powers, not only prohibiting demigods from bullying the weak but also avoiding combat even among those of the same rank.

Though the restriction applies only to the demigod powers of the Seven Gods, it doesn’t constrain those larger wild "demigods," Demon Gods, and even "Truth Embodiments."

Because, in normal circumstances, it’s only the Seven Gods’ subordinates who bully others; rarely would any [demigod] actively provoke the angels under a True God.

But today, two wild Tier 5s have come here, at least on the surface, without any faction affiliation.

"Child of the Shadows of the Mountains," "Dark Ruler" Kaiamo, and a relatively rare [Truth Embodiment: Deep Dark Living Flame] Cthugya in the Material World.

On the surface, the [Natural Deity] Kaiamo had somehow already joined the ranks of the "God of Black Wings."

Even the previous "pursuit" of Kongyu’s intentions is hard to fathom.

And [Deep Dark Living Flame], also known as [Burning Chaos], [Inhabitant of Flames], originates from a once-thriving Black Wizard School.

Due to the powerful authority of [Shadow] and [Dark Dimension] possessed by these two, they successfully entered the space-time crevice.

Of course.

Under normal circumstances, unless the [Clock Tower] actively appears, even a True God cannot capture it within the crevice of space-time.

However, with the help of a beacon left last time, the "God of Sleep" Keturt, who regained some power, was able to communicate with the sleeping "Chaos Worm" Shude Mel through the dream realm, facilitating cooperation from inside and outside.

The "Chaos Worm," inherently possessing a strong adaptability, used its [Chaos] essence to reverse erode the [Clock Tower] for countless years.

Merely relying on the power radiated by itself, it had already corrupted most of the creatures inside the [Clock Tower] into its beloved, occupying most of the permissions except for the outermost "Gate."

Compared to the "Chaos Worm," Graham, who is already barely surviving, is at most just a gatekeeper.

Boom!

Although the two were chatting idly, their offensive didn’t slack in the least; the elephant trunk, thick as a pillar, suddenly expanded, smashing against the silver light barrier enveloping the [Clock Tower].

Cthugya’s entire body lit up with countless dim light spheres, which fell like meteors towards the [Clock Tower].

However.

The [Clock Tower], supposed to roam freely in the river of time and impossible for anyone to capture, seemed stranded like a broken ship, unmoving.

It appeared as though it was about to be breached by the combined efforts of these two Tier 5 powerhouses.

Roar—!

A thousand terrifying dragon roars suddenly resounded throughout the universe.
