Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master - Chapter 1250

Chapter 1250: Divine Power

The order to evacuate could not be issued easily, especially at such a juncture where disaster had struck. After all, it wasn’t as simple as herding sheep, because human nature was very difficult to control. The evilness of human nature tended to be revealed during times of crisis and disasters. If the people on Four Seasons Island were to evacuate now, God knew how chaotic the island would become. The chaos alone would be considered a huge disaster.

If the magic scroll turned out to be useful and effective in chasing Wild Whale Rabu away, Bradlor would still end up with a huge mess to clear on Four Seasons Island. Not only would it cause the Gilded Kingdom to suffer huge economic losses, there would also be a huge blow to the kingdom’s reputation. After all, at this point, the people of the Gilded Kingdom were not the only ones on Four Seasons Island, there were also representatives of other forces.

Hence, issuing an order to evacuate was an extremely difficult decision for Bradlor. Regardless of what he chose, he would have to face a great risk.

However, Bradlor’s hesitation made the ministers more and more anxious because they didn’t want their own families to die together with the Gilded Kingdom. However, Bradlor was still the king, after all, and without his orders, they couldn’t flee on their own.

“Okay, okay, the few of you, head back to Four Seasons Island immediately to coordinate the evacuation of the people, but you must make sure that there isn’t any unrest or chaos…” Bradlor hesitated, but eventually decided to evacuate the Gilded Kingdom nationals on Four Seasons Island to preserve some native population.

However, just as Bradlor issued the order, Great Monarch Hegel of the Octopus Clan had already flown close to Wild Whale Rabu. Hegel did not slowly unfold the scroll to demonstrate the power of the magic scroll as Grand Duke Vidi had at the auction, because the latter was trying to ensure the safety of the guests at the auction. At this point, there was no need for Hegel to do that.

Hence, after flying close to the Wild Whale Rabu, Great Monarch Hegel grasped the magic scroll in his hand, and unrolled it without hesitation. As the magic scroll unfolded, time seemed to have stopped along with everyone’s breathing.

The magical elements in the space, which were originally invisible and untouchable, suddenly emerged at this moment. It was as if each and every single particle of the magical elements was shining colorfully, lighting up the entire space resplendently.

Immediately afterwards, a ray of dazzling light emerged from the magic scroll, making it seem as if Hegel was holding a sun in his hand. From that light, several bizarre and mysterious magic symbols darted out. With the appearance of each magic symbol, there would be a violent tremor in space, as if the magic elements’ king had appeared.

The magic symbols seemed to be leading the magic elements to form a river of elements of different colors that surged towards the sky above Rabu. The elements tumbled in the sky and intertwined above Rabu’s head, and a huge phantom was gradually formed from the intertwining rivers of elements.

The massive phantom gradually solidified, and seemed as if it was about to reveal its true appearance amidst the mist. This time, the crowd could finally see clearly that the large phantom was actually the image of a majestic mountain. Given the vastness of Anril, there were countless mountains that were even more majestic than the one in the image. However, the crowd felt from the depths of their souls that the mountain seemed out of reach, which was an unprecedented feeling that they had never experienced with other mountains before.

“Mount Tai? Is that Mount Tai? The Holy Mountain of the Titans?” They couldn’t help but be reminded of the explanation on Mount Tai that Grand Duke Vidi had given during the auction. Looking at the image of that majestic mountain before them, they were even more convinced of Grand Duke Vidi’s explanation. Apart from Mount Tai that belonged to the Titans, there was probably no other mountain in Anril that could be compared to it.

Of course, these people absolutely couldn’t have imagined that Mount Tai, which they thought was the Holy Mountain of the Titans, was actually just a make-believe existence. The majestic mountain in the image was actually just the Mount Tai that existed in the world Lin Li had belonged to before he transmigrated, and had nothing to do with the Titans.

However, it was no wonder that they would associate the image with the Titans. Apart from the explanation that Grand Duke Vidi had given previously, another important factor that made them feel that way was, more importantly, the impact that the image had on their emotions. Although the majestic mountain was only hanging above the head of Wild Whale Rabu, and was just an image formed by the condensation of magic elements, everyone couldn’t help but feel reverent toward it from the bottom of their heart.

At this juncture, Wild Whale Rabu was no longer as comfortable as it had been when dealing with the Sanctuary powerhouses just now. It seemed to have also felt threatened by the image above its head. With a deafening roar, its large pair of fleshy wings flapped twice, and its huge, mountain-like body flew upward towards the image of the mountain, as if it really wanted to carry a mountain peak with its own strength.

If it was just an ordinary mountain, or even if there were 100 ordinary mountains, Wild Whale Rabu, a demigod, would be able to lift it and flip it over effortlessly. However, the mountain peak created from the condensation of magical elements now was only an external image manifested from the magic scroll. In fact, its interior was composed of brand-new rules that did not belong to this world.

Wild Whale Rabu could only reach a height of several meters off the surface, after which it could no longer go higher regardless of how loud it roared and how hard it flapped its wings. As the power of the magic scroll in Hegel’s hand continued to spread, the image of the majestic mountain became more and more solid, thus suppressing Wild Whale Rabu, and causing it to sink.

Everyone was stunned by that scene. Even Hegel, who had initially already gained some knowledge of the magic scroll, couldn’t quite believe what he was seeing at this moment. The others who thought that the magic scroll was merely at the Master-level were so shocked that their jaws dropped in surprise.

Bradlor had already ordered the ministers to go back and organize the evacuation of the kingdom nationals who were on the island. When they saw this scene, they could no longer be bothered to say anything else, and instead got ready to go back and save the elites of their respective families. However, they couldn’t move their feet at this moment.

Grina of the Giant Shark Clan was on the verge of vomiting blood. Although Hegel of the Octopus Clan was using the magic scroll, it was still the work of Grina’s enemy. In other words, Lin Li had once again stolen the limelight this time.

Can a magic scroll like that really subdue Wild Whale Rabu? Rabu is a powerful enemy that many Sanctuary powerhouses can’t defeat! Grina wanted to say something that would affect the confidence and morale of the crowd, but he couldn’t bring himself to speak after opening his mouth. Although he hated Lin Li, he could clearly see that the magic scroll seemed to be effective. If he insisted on criticizing it, he would make himself seem like a fool instead.

Damn it, how can it be that strong?! All Grina could feel was a hot and sharp burning pain on his face. The magic scroll that he had criticized and put down like nothing was actually emitting such a massive power now, proving him wrong through and through! Besides, Lin Li didn’t deliberately put him to shame, but rather Grina had brought it upon himself because he started belittling it out of nowhere, only to end up shooting himself in the foot!

At this point, Grina’s heart was full of regret and resentment. He regretted running off his mouth anxiously without waiting longer, for if he had waited a few more minutes just now, he wouldn’t have been so embarrassed now. At the same time, he had also developed greater hatred for Lin Li now because he was convinced that Lin Li had to have deliberately plotted this to cause him to make a fool of himself.

However, Grina was still somewhat rational enough not to immediately want to settle accounts with Lin Li. On the one hand, they were coping with the calamity only because they could rely on Lin Li’s magic scroll. On the other hand, he didn’t know if Lin Li had other similar magic scrolls. He didn’t think that Lin Li had brought only one magic scroll of such terrifying power with him to the auction. If he had been in Lin Li’s shoes, he would have definitely brought more than one such terrifying magic scroll to the auction. Therefore, in his opinion, Lin Li might have a similar magic scroll or one that was even more powerful than the one that was auctioned off.

Even Rabu, the scourge of the Endless Ocean, couldn’t resist the power of the magic scroll easily. No matter how arrogant Grina was, he wasn’t that complacent to think that he could measure up to Rabu.

Similarly, on the Gilded Kingdom’s side, Cantory and the several ministers representing the senatorial families were all feeling very conflicted. If they had a choice, they definitely wouldn’t be willing to evacuate Four Seasons Island, but the opportunity to transcend the tribulation now was given by the person whom Cantory saw as an enemy and had always despised. Hence, he felt rather uncomfortable about it.

If that magic scroll could really help the kingdom overcome this terrifying ordeal, Lin Li would become the great benefactor of the Gilded Kingdom. Not to mention twice, even if Lin Li insulted the Gilded Kingdom 200 more times, the great favor he had done them this time would leave them with no choice but to keep mum and accept it. After all, it was tantamount to rescuing the Gilded Kingdom from the path to extermination, which was a favor that could not be repaid easily.

Although Cantory needed not be the one to repay the kindness and favor, Bradlor, the king of the Gilded Kingdom, could not ignore it. In other words, even if Cantory and the others were in the right and wanted to deal with Lin Li in the future, they wouldn’t be able to retaliate even if Lin Li made them look particularly bad, as Bradlor would 100% have to stand on Lin Li’s side in the future.

However, if that magic scroll was proven to be useless, and the Gilded Kingdom did not end up owing Lin Li any favors, it would equally be a bad thing for Cantory and the others. If no one could stop Rabu, the Gilded Kingdom would be exterminated, and the senatorial families wouldn’t be spared, either. As for the so-called evacuation, it was actually impossible to evacuate everyone without incurring any losses. Preserving some “seeds” meant that they had to keep a few descendants alive in order to ensure that they did not go extinct.

Moreover, without the Gilded Kingdom, it wouldn’t be easy for the senatorial families to survive in the Endless Ocean just with the power of their families. The environment of the Endless Ocean was closer to the law of the jungle than Anril, and it was all about the survival of the fittest there. After all, the main forces of Anril were humans, but the Endless Ocean was dominated by the Sea Clans.

At this juncture on the battlefield, the Wild Whale Rabu had clearly already exerted its full force as a rich and dense black fog began spreading around, almost engulfing its body, and making it look like a mass of black clouds. However, even so, Rabu still couldn’t break free at all under the suppression of the image of the large mountain manifested from the magic scroll. Instead, it was being pressed downwards, almost reaching the bottom of the sea.

Great Monarch Hegel held the magic scroll, and continuously stimulated its power. Despite having a stern expression on his face, he was actually filled with joy and euphoria. At this moment, he didn’t feel the pinch of paying 400,000,000 gold coins for this magic scroll at all. Even if he had to spend four billion gold coins on such a powerful magic scroll, he wouldn’t hesitate, because it was definitely worth the price.

Being a Guru of Inscription himself, Great Monarch Hegel could clearly sense that the power of the magic scroll was already reaching the Divine-Smith-level, which was the power that only gods could possess! For the Octopus Clan, the magic scroll would not only be an offensive magic weapon for launching attacks, but also a guiding light to the realm of Divine Smith, which couldn’t be bought with money.

For example, Grand Elder Hayes of the Octopus Clan had become a Guru of Inscription a long time ago, but he had plateaued precisely because he hadn’t been able to find his way to the Divine-Smith-realm. Hence, he hadn’t made any progress for years. However, after obtaining the stone slab that Harquess had brought back, it was as if a brand-new door had been opened for him in the field of inscription, allowing him to gain a breakthrough in his comprehension of inscription.

The mageweath on the slab was just a mageweath that Lin Li had created after splashing ink onto Harquess’ work. However, this magic scroll was created entirely by Lin Li, and had to be several times more powerful than the mageweath on the stone slab that they had gotten previously. Perhaps, with the inspiration of this magic scroll, they might still be able to truly reach the peak of the Guru-level of inscription, and get a glimpse of the mysteries of the Divine-Smith-realm.

At this moment, with the pressure of the magic scroll, Rabu’s body was completely pressed into the sea. Moreover, there wasn’t a single drop of seawater left in the sea, as all the seawater had been squeezed into the surroundings, causing a large and bizarre hole to form.

Rabu, which had been suppressed, was still roaring incessantly in exasperation, and constantly stimulating all its power to break free from the suppression of Mount Tai. It didn’t expect to fall into such a predicament without even getting to devour any delicacies after awakening this time.
