Volume 4: The Cataclysm Chapter 66: Cage
The world of water element!
One of the four supreme elemental planes, a powerful country in the same dimension as the kingdom of heaven.
In fact, in Fenan, the world of the four elements is a very mysterious country, even more mysterious than heaven, hell, and the abyss.
Even for a powerful legendary wizard, it is difficult to travel to the elemental world.
Because the four supreme elemental planes are very conservative and xenophobic.
Although many wizards have the ability to summon some low-level elementals, these elementals will loyally execute your combat orders but will not reveal any information about the elemental plane.
The elemental planes are ruled by the four kings of the Supreme Elemental Plane. These four kings are immortal and are said to have been born at the creation of the universe.
They guard the elemental hearts of their respective worlds.
The power of the four elements is independent and chaotic, but when combined together, it becomes the power of order.
In other words, it is the four elemental planes that support the Kingdom of Heaven, and at the same time, they also support the source of the power of order in each plane, fighting against the chaotic magic in the universe, and achieving a balance between the two.
The elemental kings were extremely powerful, and no one had ever seen them in action. However, according to Marvin’s estimation, they were definitely not weaker than the most powerful gods in heaven.
Hell, abyss, evil spirits... no matter which evil existence, none of them dare to covet the elemental world, which shows how powerful the elemental plane is.
In fact, based on the very little information Marvin revealed from the game, it is not difficult to infer that the Elemental World should be the one with the highest military power among all the worlds.
It’s just that the elemental world is very closed and conservative, and the elemental kings abide by the oath they made when they created the world and will never have too much interaction with creatures from other worlds.
Therefore, the four supreme elemental planes all appear particularly mysterious.
Even if Fenan made a big fuss, as long as it did not involve the foundation of the universe, the elemental kings would look on coldly.
Marvin never imagined that Master Kangen’s so-called “friend” was actually the daughter of the Elemental King!
…
Louise seemed somewhat smug when she saw the surprised look on Marvin's face.
She took off all her disguises and veils, revealing a beautiful face.
She looked like a completely normal human woman, with only her light blue pupils revealing a hint of water element.
"Your Highness, your advanced transfiguration technique is too powerful, isn't it?"
Marvin smiled bitterly.
"Advanced Transfiguration? No, this is my true appearance."
Louise chuckled: "Do you think the elemental kings are really as dedicated to their duties as the legend says?"
Marvin couldn't help but look strange.
The water element guards on the side coughed repeatedly, as if they were unwilling to let Marvin and Louise continue to dwell on this topic: "Your Highness, our king has been waiting for a long time."
Louise couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "Since he has waited so long, what's wrong with waiting a little longer?"
"I'm going back to my cabin now."
Immediately, regardless of the ugly expressions of the water element guards, she grabbed Marvin and disappeared on the spot.
…
Louise's cabin is built on the edge of the water elemental plane.
This is a magic hut. The whole building is made of deformed oak that has been enchanted many times. It looks very small on the outside, but it is a different world inside.
In the cabin, Marvin sat on a comfortable blanket and drank a sip of the strange hot drink handed to him by Louise:
"It's a bit inappropriate to keep your father waiting like this, isn't it?"
Louise shrugged. "He has nothing to do anyway."
"Besides, before I see him, I have to talk to you."
"I know some of the Hartson conspiracy, but not everything. I need you to tell me everything you know."
“This is important.”
Marvin hesitated for a moment, but began to think in his heart.
He already knew everything about the Dragon God Hartson, so it was okay to tell Louise. However, he didn't know whether the seal of the elf and Lance was something the Elemental King was concerned about.
Especially crystal statues.
Marvin is now in the water elemental plane. Although Louise has no hostility towards him, what if she asks him to hand over the crystal statue?
No one can withstand such a powerful force. Marvin has not yet understood the Elemental King's attitude towards the crystal statue, so he doesn't know how to say some things.
It's not a good idea to deceive Louise, after all, she was the one who saved me.
As if she saw the conflicting look on Marvin's face, Louise said softly:
"I just want to know if Hutson got what he wanted."
"My father is very concerned about this matter . He doesn't really care whether Fenan lives or dies. He won't intervene unless it involves a disaster for the entire universe."
"But Dragon God Hartson is a very dangerous person. Lord Lance actually defeated Hartson with the help of the four elemental monarchs. Only they know how terrifying Hartson is in his prime, so..."
Marvin smiled bitterly, then shook his head, looked at Louise, and said firmly: "Hutson definitely didn't get what he wanted, and he will never get it."
"Really?" Louise gave Marvin a playful look.
Obviously, as smart as she is, she has read a lot of information from Marvin's words.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll snatch that thing from you?"
She suddenly laughed.
Marvin was stunned for a moment, then said frankly: "If you really want to do this, then you won't take me back to your cabin."
"You should take me directly to the [Heart of the Vortex], where no one can resist the power of the Elemental King, right?"
Louise snorted, "Smart."
Marvin let out a sigh of relief.
Marvin was already very confused by Louise's behavior. The Water Elemental King was clearly waiting for her, but she took him away and ignored him.
There must be something fishy going on here.
Sure enough, Louise suddenly sighed softly, her expression becoming a little complicated: "The crystal statue is in your hands."
"This thing is not something that ordinary people can control. Many people are drooling over the power inside."
Marvin frowned: "Including your father?"
Louise shook her head and hesitated, "Not exactly. I just have similar concerns. In recent years, he has become a little different from before. He often told me that he is really tired of his current life."
"He was born to protect the heart of the vortex, to protect the order of this universe. His power is incomparably strong, but he can never escape this circle."
"Sometimes... he even said to me... some incomprehensible words."
Louise's face showed obvious distress.
Ma Wen's heart moved: "What?"
Logically speaking, the Elemental Lords should be very determined . They were born to protect the Heart of Elements, which is the foundation for the maintenance of the universe.
If even the Elemental Lords had problems, this news would be more terrifying than the destruction of the Cosmic Magic Pool!
The elemental plane is the basis for maintaining the balance of the universe.
If the destruction of the Cosmic Magic Pool only means the fall of Fenan, then the imbalance of the elemental plane may be the destruction of the entire universe!
Marvin felt that the pressure was increasing invisibly.
One after another, he was exposed to the secrets and potential disasters at the heart of this world.
This is completely different from ordinary people.
Mortals simply cannot access matters at this level, so they only need to worry about how to survive the disaster ahead.
A strong man like Marvin, on the other hand, saw the disaster further ahead.
Maybe, sometimes it would be happier to be an ordinary person.
…
Louise glanced at Marvin. She had heard a little about this man.
After all, the incident that Marvin had caused in Fenan was big enough. He had previously destroyed the Shadow Prince's kingdom with a single shot, and even the elemental monarchs had been gossiping about it with each other for several days. She had listened from the side and had some understanding of what was going on.
She was actually very curious about Marvin. This man seemed to have some magical power and was able to do many things that others seemed to be unable to do.
Master Kang En highly praised his understanding. He first killed Di Gaogeng and then killed Ming Feng with his mortal body. Even her father was amazed at his potential.
Was it the right choice to put the crystal statue in his hands?
Louise didn't know, but she thought it might be better than leaving it in her father's hands.
She hesitated for a while, and finally whispered:
"He even said to me: "This world is like a cage, I really want to go outside and see it."
Marvin took a deep breath.
This world is like a cage.
This sentence seems familiar.
Did the gods of the heavenly kingdom feel the same way when they attacked the cosmic magic pool?
Do the devil lord of hell, the lord of the evil spirit world, the demon king of the abyss, and the wild beasts in the wilderness think the same way?
The order that is entangled with oneself is like shackles, forming a cage that imprisons oneself.
In order to break the cage, you must rely on powerful force.
In the process, countless innocent people will be sacrificed and rivers of blood will flow.
Marvin's uneasiness grew stronger.
When the most powerful people in the universe have this kind of desire in their hearts, it is the eve of the complete collapse of order.
Marvin originally thought that the collapse of order was limited to Fenan and the Cosmic Magic Pool. Now it seems that he was still holding the mentality of a player at the beginning and did not have a deep understanding of the nature of this world.
The Elemental King, the ultimate maintainer of order, actually said such words. Although he might not do it, the thought of doing so was already very scary.
Going a step further, Marvin even suddenly thought:
Does the wizard god, who is above all gods, also feel that this world is a cage?
If he feels that way, what will he do?
…
The more Marvin thought about it, the scarier it became. He .
Fortunately, Louise interrupted his thinking in time.
"Time is running out. My father is probably getting impatient."
"I will send you back to Fenan now. This is the Azure Hourglass. You can use it to enter the Water Elemental Plane at any time - if one day you need shelter."
"Protect the crystal statue. The professor and I will take care of the rest."
The next second, a portal appeared in front of Marvin.
