Chapter 683: Entering The Tower
Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance
Facing this question, Hathaway remained silent for a fairly long time.
After a while, she answered in a strange tone. "Maybe… I don't want to become your enemy?"
Not wanting to be enemies.
Marvin had faintly gotten that impression from her before.
"In fact, the sides are already clear right now."
"The Supreme God who once created this world has already forsaken it. He wants to personally destroy this cage, but fortunately, we still have Feinan's Will."
"It won't sit and watch us be destroyed. The Seers, the Fate Sorceresses, the Plane Guardians, and you… We are here in order to protect Feinan, aren't we?"
"As for the other forces, regardless of whether it's the Astral Sea, the Abyss, or Hell, they only have one goal, which is to destroy the world. This was all bound to happen because Lance was the mastermind behind the scenes. He has been plotting this for a very long time, and the Great Calamity was only an appetizer."
"I don't understand his plan, but I know that he definitely didn't leave."
Hathaway calmly concluded, "To the average person, this might be difficult to accept. But I am the Witch Queen. I know that all this is true."
Marvin raised an eyebrow.
The indifference in her eyes slowly turned into grimness as she prodded, "My task is to protect Feinan, to stop this land from being destroyed by evil people. When it comes to this, our goals are in accord, are they not?"
Marvin remained silent, not nodding.
Disappointment appeared on Hathaway's face as she muttered, "You still don't believe me."
Marvin eventually said, "It's not that I don't believe you. Rather, there are many things I still don't understand. I don't want to come to a conclusion too quickly."
Hathaway sneered and turned to leave.
"Although I don't want us to become enemies, if one day I find out that you are standing on Lance's side, I'll kill you."
"Also… don't look at me like that, I don't like it."
"I'll tell you a secret. There has only been one Witch Queen after the 3rd Era."
After saying this, she disappeared into the boundless sea.
She might have gone to look for the entrance of the Negative Energy Plane.
Marvin's heart was a bit heavy.
Only one Witch Queen after the 3rd Era.
Clearly, Hathaway meant that she had always been the Witch Queen. However, after the dramatic changes of the 3rd Era, she had entered a cycle of reincarnation, sort of like the Truth Goddess.
But this time, the curse on her body was finally broken, and the true Witch Queen awakened once more.
She was Hathaway, but not only Hathaway.
Marvin couldn't help laughing at himself and shaking his head.
How could the short friendship and relationship between them compare with the millennium-long memory that she had regained?
The fact that she was willing to tell him this extra information might already be due to his special identity.
'Anzeds, Truth Goddess…'
Marvin mumbled under his breath, 'If Lance really wanted to destroy this world, why did he choose me?'
…
In any case, even if the unexpected encounter with Hathaway made Marvin's heart heavier, there were still things that needed to be done.
After dealing with Dark Phoenix, the shadows in Marvin's mind were a lot lighter.
Although Wayne was still unconscious, he was safe now.
He used Origami to hide Wayne before once again using Endless Path to return to the surroundings of the Sky Tower.
But when he arrived, he saw that the sky was filled with blue lights fluttering around wildly!
Over thirty Azure Stones were flying around in the sky!
And all the powerhouses were crazily chasing after those passes for entering the Sky Tower.
The chaotic battles had already spread to all corners of this area.
The sky was filled with Divine Servants and other powerhouses killing each other in this war.
Marvin was relieved to see that although there was the temptation of the Fate Tablet, Feinan's side wasn't in disorder.
Under the lead of Professor and Kangen, they fought over many Azure Stones.
Although there wasn't enough for everyone, Feinan's side didn't plan to send everyone to the Sky Tower anyways!
Every power sending one representative was good enough.
Most people would remain outside.
For example, this time, the leaders of the Metallic Dragons all came, but only Copper Dragon Professor would represent them and enter the Sky Tower.
Although the Sky Tower was a place full of opportunities, sending too many inside wasn't a good idea.
Who knew what kind of fierce battle would happen inside and what traps they might encounter?
Keeping some people outside for support was for the best.
Just before the chaotic fight over these new Azure Stones began, Feinan's forces had made a plan.
After Marvin arrived, he helped them acquire a few more Azure Stones and threw them to Kangen, who was in charge of allocating them.
"The doors to the Sky Tower are about to open."
"Regardless of what happens, we cannot let the Fate Tablet fall into the hands of others," Professor solemnly said.
"I noticed many powerhouses that still didn't show up in the previous fight, so we can't be careless."
Marvin nodded.
At this time, he noticed from the corner of his eye a figure that was emanating killing intent.
This only lasted but an instant, and before Marvin could react, the shadow already disappeared from his field of view.
Marvin frowned. "Eve? And the son of the Dawn God?"
"Disappeared," Jessica grumbled moodily.
She didn't like Eve to begin with. In the fight against Dark Phoenix, Eve's servant had arrogantly stopped Marvin and nearly allowed Dark Phoenix to escape. Ever since then, she had viewed this new Valkyrie in a bad light. "I think she has a problem."
Marvin smiled somewhat awkwardly. He felt that Jessica was overthinking it. Eve was very stubborn, but she wasn't bad.
She had used her power to support three towns in the North during the Great Calamity. Surely she wasn't a bad person?
Marvin also couldn't understand what Eve was thinking, but he also didn't feel like bothering with it at the moment. He didn't think that it would cause any problems.
He helped plunder more Azure Stones for a while, and after ensuring that everyone who wanted to enter had a pass, he stopped.
At that time, there weren't many Azure Stones left flying in the sky.
Only a bunch of red-eyed, murderous powerhouses were fighting over the last entry passes.
After seeing Marvin give a signal, his allies stopped and silently moved to the side of the battlefield.
They had already obtained enough Azure Stones, so they didn't need to fight for more.
They waited a few minutes outside the battlefield before more than a dozen powerhouses finished fighting over the final Azure Stone, which a powerful Apostle won in the end.
But in order to obtain that stone, he had paid an extremely disastrous price.
His arm had exploded.
Even though the powerful Divine Source in his body helped him recover from wounds more easily, damage caused by someone that had a similar level of power wasn't easy to recover from.
He would need a long time before he was at full strength again.
But he didn't regret it at all. On the contrary, his face was full of pride.
The Azure Stone meant he had the opportunity to vie for the Fate Tablet. That opportunity was extremely rare and prestigious.
But his smile didn't last long.
A scarlet, bloody light crossed the horizon, passing through his chest at an unperceivable speed.
By the time the Apostle's corpse fell down, his Divine Source had already shattered!
And the Azure Stone in his hand had also disappeared without a trace.
Marvin squinted slightly.
He wasn't unfamiliar with that bloody light.
…
After a long time, the chaotic fight had finally come to an end.
Most of the major forces had managed to get what they wanted, and those who didn't obtain an Azure Stone at all tended to be those who weren't strong enough to participate in this anyways.
After paying a few lives in their doomed attempt, some groups silently left.
The remaining people were all well-known Legends, elites of the Astral Sea, powerful Devils from Hell, or powerhouses from other places.
They assessed each other with vigilant expressions.
They knew that those who were still left were the true threats.
Ultimately, their gaze landed on Feinan's side.
Clearly, the power revealed by Feinan's Legends had caused some alarm.
They faintly considered the idea of joining forces.
But Marvin didn't really care what they planned to do.
Wayne had been able to tell him a bit of information about what was inside the Sky Tower, but he was still unconscious now and Marvin wasn't too clear about the specifics. Marvin still decided to bring him inside the tower, so he placed an extra Azure Stone in the Origami Space where Wayne was sleeping.
Otherwise, there would be no way for him to enter the Sky Tower. The Wizard God wouldn't leave such a loophole, after all.
Some time after the fighting all wrapped up, the Sky Tower finally opened.
As everyone waited eagerly, a blue curtain of light slowly swept through everything.
It spread out from the base of the tower, taking the shape of a ring around the tower.
This was the entrance of the Sky Tower.
Marvin and a few others glanced at each other before nodding and taking large steps toward that curtain.
And those in the surroundings of the Sky Tower also started approaching it from all directions.
Soon, Marvin crossed the blue curtain.
As he did so, he could feel the Azure Stone in his hand disappear.
A powerful force shoved his body along, and he couldn't resist.
After a moment, his surroundings twisted and a grotesque space spread in front of him.
He was in a transparent room!
No, this was a strange space made up of countless transparent rooms.
Marvin was located in one room, but it was only one of many.
All those who entered appeared one after the other, in rooms near him or far away.
They all had expressions of shock.
They could feel an inescapable restraining power locking onto their Laws and Domains.
In this space, they wouldn't be able to use those powers.
At that moment, some noise echoed out and a brown stone tablet appeared in each person's room!
