Volume 3 New World Chapter 93: The Dust of History
There was dead silence in the silent valley.
Ibrahimovic didn't understand what was going on. Although Marvin told him roughly the story of what was found in the seventh tower, he still didn't figure out what exactly happened in the secret garden.
Of course, he himself is not interested in this matter.
Marvin stared at the magical ghost coldly.
In fact, when the two sides had been in contact and communication before, Marvin had consciously tried to use the words of the mana ghost.
At that time, he asked the Mana Wraith whether the illusion of the King of Potion had reached the level of [Purgatory Nightmare]. The Mana Wraith obviously hesitated for a while, and then gave an ambiguous answer.
It was this answer that exposed his identity.
Although Marvin didn't know who he was at the time, he was almost certain that this guy was definitely not the grudge of the wizard apprentice Eric!
The Purgatory Nightmare is a very rare creature. Even the Lord of the Nine Hells may not have seen it.
Their existence is probably as rare as the Fate Elves and the Eternal Time Dragon. Ordinary wizards don't even know about this kind of creature!
Even in the Mikansi school's knowledge system, this is a very obscure knowledge.
Only the top wizards could possibly know about the existence of Hell Nightmare.
However, although the Mana Wraith did not give a clear answer, his expression and reaction revealed that he knew about the Hell Nightmare.
There was no way an apprentice wizard could know that.
At that time, Marvin began to doubt the Mana Wraith. Later, when he got Olikai's diary in the wizard tower, he vaguely had a guess:
After that battle, it turned out that Eric was not the only one who survived.
The dirty wizard who longed for immortality also survived.
However, the information Marvin had did not contain any record of this legendary wizard.
Regarding this, Marvin speculated that either his information was wrong or this guy was hiding too deeply.
However, no matter what, Marvin began to no longer rely on the information from his previous life to make judgments.
He needs more information.
The fact that the magical ghost appeared at the exit of the Garden of Eden itself could explain too many problems.
He is not Eric's grudge, but an incarnation of Olikai!
As for why he needed a clone, the answer was simple. In pursuit of immortality, Olikai merged his soul with the magic potion.
Or maybe he devoured the soul of the Potion King using some kind of soul transfer spell, and then became a potion himself.
With Orike's attainments in alchemy and the soul field, he may be able to do this.
But what puzzled Marvin was that even if he wanted to be immortal and use this magic potion to achieve eternal life, why did he need to attract the star beast?
Is it really a coincidence?
Or, are there other unknown secrets hidden in this?
Where is the real wizard apprentice Eric? Where did he go?
Marvin was full of doubts.
…
The mana ghost stared at Marvin with hatred, and his tone became lower and lower: "You think you know the truth."
"You thought you had uncovered the secret of this space... but in fact you are just a ridiculous kid."
"You will only become fertilizer for this garden."
"I originally planned to let you two go, but now it seems that there is no need. Anyone who knows my identity must die!"
After saying that , he opened his huge mouth with a ferocious look!
In an instant, his body suddenly merged with the open door.
A powerful attraction pulled in!
"Don't you want to see the true form of the King of Potions?"
"Let me satisfy you!"
"It's been a long time since we had any guests at the [Original Garden of Eden], hahahaha..."
Amid the wild laughter of the mana ghost, Marvin and Ibrahimovic were pulled into the Garden of Eden.
The two looked at each other, and Ibrahimovic nodded and took Marvin's hand.
Marvin understood what he meant instantly, and did not resist, allowing the magical ghost to act.
The scenery before my eyes changed.
The next second, a cloudy space appeared in front of the two!
Marvin and Ibrahimovic were both shocked!
Is this the original Garden of Eden?
As a potion garden, it should be full of sunshine, fragrance of flowers and vitality.
However, the space before him was lifeless, with a large amount of evil and filth condensed here!
This is a completely different world of evil spirits!
The soil here was pitch black, and the flowers at the feet of the two people were withered. Only in the very center, there stood a strangely shaped plant!
Marvin and Ibrahimovic were both shocked when they saw the plant.
Because they no longer knew what words to use to describe him.
It looks like a vine-like plant, but it can grow upright like a large tree.
Countless creepers coiled around him.
However, the most terrifying thing was that blood-red human faces appeared on the surface of the vines.
These are the souls of those who were devoured by the secret garden!
They were wailing and screaming, their eyes filled with hatred and resentment!
The magical ghost appeared out of nowhere in the air, then shattered with a bang and merged into the plant.
A kind old man's face appeared on the plant, and he smiled slightly:
"Welcome to the original Garden of Eden."
…
The wind is blowing coldly and the wronged souls are crying out.
This is the original Garden of Eden, a place completely different from what Marvin had imagined!
All the potions were swallowed by Olikai. His body had become completely deformed and the characteristics of various potions were reflected in him.
“Have you seen these screaming souls? Do you feel sorry for them?”
The old man said kindly, "It's okay. Soon, you will be their companions."
Ibrahimovic sneered and said nothing more.
Marvin shook his head: "I finally understand why the King of Potion can break Wizard Mikansi's magic circle."
"Because the person who broke those magic circles was one of the former Mikansi wizards. The King of Potions may not have such ability, but the soul of a legendary wizard can definitely do it."
"Isn't it a bit sad to gain eternal life in this way?"
Olikai's expression was still so gentle: "No, no, no, you will never understand."
“Every life will come to an end—under the influence of time, no one can fight against this.”
"To me, this only shows one thing: if life is born to die, then its birth is a mistake."
“I just want to fix my mistakes.”
Ibrahimovic said disdainfully: "Shameless sophistry."
"Do you think you have really gained eternal life?"
"If that's the case, why did you open the secret garden and attract others to come in?"
This time, the old man's expression finally changed. He roared with a hint of ferocity: "Yes, that's right!"
"It's all that damn apprentice's fault! Damn Eric! He ruined my plan and forced me to merge with a potion."
"That wasn't the original plan!"
Looking at Oli Kai's crazy look, Marvin shook his head secretly.
This guy has gone crazy.
There was a trace of pity in his eyes: "If I'm not mistaken, your original plan was to transfer your soul to that star beast, right?"
The old man's expression was extremely ferocious: "That's right! You are very smart! Almost as smart as me."
"I am the greatest genius of the Mikansi School. Why would I take the initiative to merge with a potion?"
"I should be the supreme being that looks down upon this universe! Even the gods can only tremble in my shadow!"
"But that kid, that bastard, disregarded his own safety and ruined my plan!"
"Once I have completely merged , I will definitely extract his soul and have it tormented in eternal flames!"
The old man began to roar wildly, and the entire space began to tremble!
Marvin and Ibrahimovic looked at each other and shook their heads.
Amid the old man's crazy roar, the dust of history finally fell away, and everything that happened back then slowly surfaced.
…
Eric was an apprentice of Orikay and survived the war.
This was done deliberately by Olikai, because his plan still required a wizard as an assistant.
If it was a high-level wizard, he was afraid that he would not be able to control him, so he chose Eric who had just become his disciple.
The rest of the people were all killed by him through various conspiracies and tricks.
His target is actually the remains of the star beast.
This star beast originally lived near Fenan, but had been sleeping. During a plane trip, Orike discovered him.
He did not alarm the star beast at that time because he was still very young and a kind wizard.
Later, as he grew older, people around him began to die, and his desire for immortality became almost pathological.
By chance, he got the magic potion and planted it in the original Garden of Eden with his own hands.
This magic potion is a fatal temptation to the star beast.
A crazy plan came into his mind.
At that time, his research in the soul field was enough for him to seize the body of a star beast.
The prerequisite is that the opponent’s soul is almost destroyed!
You know, the soul is immortal, but the body is fragile.
The reason why Cloud-climbing Monks and Liches are immortal is that their bodies are immortal, so their souls can remain forever.
Most star beasts have a long lifespan, even longer than the lifespan of a universe. If you can possess the body of a star beast, it is almost like eternal life.
So he began to plot.
This was a patient and perfect conspiracy.
From beginning to end, there are almost no flaws.
Under his design, the scent of the potion was accidentally exposed and attracted the star beast.
The Mickensee school in its heyday was terrifying.
Although they paid a huge price, they still sealed the star beast.
This was within Olikai's expectations. He was not in a hurry as he still had some time left to slowly complete his plan.
The Mikansi School inexplicably gained a lot of enemies.
Behind these enemies, it is the disguised Olikai who is vigorously supporting them.
Finally, the time was almost right, and he instigated a fierce battle between the two sides.
As he expected, the Mikansi School suffered a disastrous defeat.
Following his suggestion, they released the star beast and prepared to die together with the enemy.
Everything went so perfectly. In the end, the enemies and wizards of the Mikansi School were completely wiped out, and the star beast was dying.
The only one left by his side was an apprentice who was usually timid and was laughed at as a coward.
However, what the conceited and extremely smart Olikai did not expect was that it was the useless apprentice who destroyed his plan in the most violent way.
