CHAPTER 573: CHAPTER 570: MASSIVE BAPULOR

"Bapulor, the guy who exposed my True Name."

"..."

Ronald’s eyes were fixated on Bapulor atop Barrier Mountain as he explained to Catherine, with a spell charging in his hand, ready to launch.

Though Bapulor was a bit... a major problem,

he was, after all, Ronald’s companion.

Leaving him to flee alone at this critical juncture was absolutely out of the question.

Seeing Ronald’s expression, Catherine sighed at that moment.

If everything on Barrier Mountain remained as she knew it, her spells could naturally result in a reliable prediction of the future.

Regrettably, things were contrary to her wishes.

The sudden injury of the artificial deity, and the arrival of two outsiders, Ronald and Bapulor, added extremely unstable variables to her magic.

The outcome, which had previously been certain,

could now only serve as a not-so-reliable reference.

Take this battle, for instance; it was originally supposed to occur tonight, but due to changes, it had been advanced to the early hours of this morning.

If it came to the day the seal was broken...

Catherine couldn’t ensure that her previous plans would still work.

Meanwhile, Ronald had also rearranged all his spells and firmly asked Catherine,

"I’m going to help. What about you?"

"..."

Catherine stared into Ronald’s pupils, her tone extremely serious,

"Going back is dangerous. Even in the face of death, do you plan to rescue your companion?"

Ronald nodded,

"For me, there’s no second choice."

Hearing such an answer from Ronald, Catherine suddenly smiled,

"That’s good; I like guys like you."

"Since you’re not afraid to die, let’s go together."

Snap—

Ronald snapped his fingers, and the "Chariot of God" immediately manifested angelic wings behind him.

At the same time, the "Infinite Negative Realm" again demonstrated its enhancement of spells.

Surrounded by a powerful Magic Power taking the shape of burning holy flames, he was directly clothed in a layer of divine armor with astonishing defensive power. If an enemy were to attack him now,

they would have to penetrate this powerful layer of holy flames before the "Guardian Angel" activated!

As Catherine activated her spell and saw Ronald now in a completely different form, she couldn’t help but curve her lips,

"This isn’t the same thing you showed me before; you really have a diverse collection of originals!"

"I’ve had a rather varied personal history."

Ronald returned a smile and also used his gaze to confirm that Catherine was ready.

"Ready—"

"We’re going in."

Ronald took a deep breath, and the "Current Cycle" and "Equal Cycle" were activated once more.

The same high speed, a thousand meters distance vanished in an instant.

This time, Ronald intentionally positioned himself at the forefront, then burst through the rock and lava hurricane that blocked their path.

Crossing what would be an absolutely lethal layer of lava for an ordinary person.

During this process for Ronald...

Visually, it did seem quite thrilling?

This was actually a very realistic situation.

The temperature of lava is typically around a thousand degrees, which of course is a terrifying barrier deciding life and death for normal people or ordinary wizards.

But Ronald’s current strength was entirely sufficient to resist such damage.

```

These magma flows, driven solely by magic power and their inherent temperature, couldn’t even breach the layer of holy flames of the "Chariot of God".

Boom—

Bursting through the magma, Ronald naturally arrived near Barrier Mountain with Katherine.

At this moment, atop this floating fortress.

The situation on the battlefield was uncontrollably spiraling to an extreme.

As the strongest leader of the top learning faction, Bapulor would be an undeniable force anywhere.

At this point, he reluctantly unleashed his full power with the Complete Technique.

He single-handedly dominated the entire situation on the western front of Barrier Mountain.

His colossal size, formidable self-healing speed, and pervasive spiritual contamination were all traits that posed a considerable challenge. During the time that Ronald and Katherine were en route, he had even successfully dismantled the massive body of Barrier Mountain!

To deal with this ’monster’, considered dangerous by everyone,

wizards from two different factions on the battlefield were even exhibiting rare cooperation.

Sadly, no one could stop Bapulor.

He had ambushed from within the ranks of wizard apprentices and, even though there were Great Wizards on Barrier Mountain capable of stopping him, they could not break away from battle quickly enough to hinder this fiend.

And less than a kilometer away, Ronald was deeply sensing the terror of Bapulor’s current state.

The monster that this heretical magician had transformed into...

Was simply too massive!

The behemoth stretched kilometers in size, and even a single tentacle was as tall as a dozen Ultramen stacked upon one another. The minuscule stature of humans looking up at this colossus...

The skin folds that could envelop a house, eyes as large as buildings, mouthparts as vast as hills—these components that could be seen by just looking up instilled an unimaginable sense of frailty.

Even at this kilometer distance,

It was nothing more than a casual stride for Bapulor to cross.

Gazing upon this enormous being, Katherine spoke with a hint of jest:

"Ronald, your good brother sure is huge, how are we going to drag him out..."

"Heretic Sorcerer, damned rat!"

Suddenly, an angry shout interrupted Katherine’s teasing.

At the summit of Barrier Mountain.

Where the entire academy of the Council of Six resided.

A cold voice echoed.

This voice carried an aura of superiority that seemed to originate from one’s spirit...

A normal person could instantly understand upon hearing this voice, that the other party was definitely not of the same species as mankind!

"Roar—"

Correspondingly,

The giant creature that Bapulor had become began to roar.

The current mental state of this heretic magician was, in fact, incredibly unstable.

Outside, he had become familiar with the force of the Complete Technique through multiple spellcasting attempts.

But in the "Negative Infinite Domain", the Complete Technique gave rise to a different level of power, and under such potent magical influence, Bapulor’s mind was now bewildered.

After such a ’superior’ voice resounded from the mountain peak,

Bapulor’s reaction

Was to directly abandon the battlefield he was dominating and wrap his tentacles around the mountain, dragging his body toward the summit.

Dirt and rocks flew everywhere, and the number of wizards who met their deaths was incalculable.

In the chaos of Bapulor’s mind, there was only one clear understanding.

—Anything that now challenges him,

—Must die!

In the air,

Ronald and Katherine shared a look.

Without a word, they understood each other’s thoughts.

That man-made deity hidden within Barrier Mountain—had finally appeared.
