Chapter 1430: Sneaking In
Wizard Coleridge stopped in front of God Rank Five and demanded seriously, “Who are you? Why are you here?”
The other wizards in the Union also noticed what was happening in the sky, and began to ignite their most powerful Magic Circles.
As for the ones who had no Magic Circles to protect them, they hid back in the Headquarters.
Even Legendary wizards were hard to stop, let alone a God Rank! If a fight started and they didn’t have any protection, their souls would be directly destroyed!
God Rank Five did not say anything as he took out his World in preparation for a fight.
Wizard Coleridge quickly Flashed and extended out his distance.

As the God Rank Wizards were examining each other in mid air, Thief God Milton began to move.
He jumped into the Protection Circle and smoothly entered the Wizard Union headquarters as he had in the past, but this time he was not going on his own. As Abel was negotiating with Wizard Smith about the details, a part of his consciousness was connected with Thief God Milton through the soul chain.
He knew he was in a race against time, so he did not stop and directly headed to the first underground level.
This time he also sensed some danger, but it was not as strong since he was Thief God Milton, the most powerful infiltrator in the world!
Abel’s target was clear: he wanted to know what was in the second level under the Wizard Union!
Even if he didn’t take anything, he wanted to know what cards the Wizard Union still had in reserve. Since he had sensed a huge threat through God Rank Two last time, maybe there was something capable of taking down God Ranks down there!
Thief God Milton stealthily approached the second level entrance, and noticed there were at least eight Magic Circles locking up all directions.
Still, they meant nothing to Thief God Milton, and he quickly arrived on the second level.
All of a sudden, he saw everything down there and his heart nearly stopped.
There were at least a dozen Divine Bodies laying around, both male and female. They were not locked by God-Binding Chains, but were placed in crystal wooden coffins with large numbers of Magic Patterns etched on top. They were all connected to the main Magic Circle of the level.
The placement of those coffins was not random, either, as it formed a pentagram!
Abel couldn’t tell what that giant pentagram did, but he forced Thief God Milton to transfer it to his Druid Soul and memorized it.
Of course, Thief God Milton would not have been able to memorize such a complex pattern, if he had not been a god. After all, a god was even more powerful than God Rank professionals when it came to mental processing.
Abel’s eyes sparkled as he took in the center. There was a pile of holy crystals there, formed into the shape of a shrine. He gave them a quick scan and noted there were more than ten thousand holy crystals there, stunning him.
Since the Wizard Union had so many holy crystals, why did they rather pay him in holy materials instead of holy crystals?
Questions began to emerge. The Wizard Union knew Abel had more than five thousand holy crystals, so giving him another thousand shouldn’t have been that much, right?
—
As Abel kept thinking, he continued to explore with Thief God Milton.
The entire second level was built inside an Energy Barrier, and no one could examine what was within using their Power of the Will from outside.
It was basically a secret chamber with a huge Magic Circle built using twelve Divine Bodies.
This shouldn’t be all there was to it, there must be more to accumulating all those holy crystals….
After Milton took another turn, Abel became certain that there were no Surveillance Circles scattered around, they were all gathered at the entrance.
Therefore, no one would notice him even if he showed himself!
However, he did not do that. Instead he gazed into the center of the pentagram with a curious gaze, and Thief God Milton suddenly Shifted.
Afterwards, he flew into the pentagram. As he was doing so, he couldn’t help but sigh at how powerful this ability of Thief God Milton’s was. If he was as powerful as a normal god in battle, no God Rank would be safe!
He quickly arrived next to a coffin and saw a female Divine Body inside it. It was four meters tall and its features were beautiful, but Abel did not feel anything, because a Divine Body was too different compared to a human.
He suddenly noticed the pointy ears and mumbled, “Ah, this is an elf goddess!”
As he tried to examine the crystal coffin, he soon realized it was actually merged with the pentagram and he could not make contact with it unless he had a good understanding of its powers.
Abel wouldn’t make a move just because he had agreed to the Moon goddess’ request to free the elf gods. Taking unnecessary risks just wasn’t his style.
He needed an opportunity, and he still had some training to do before the Wizard Union would be truly hopeless against him.
His main target now was the holy crystals, because they didn’t seem like they were a part of the pentagram!
Thief God Milton quickly flew into the center of the pentagram while changing his energy.
The structure of this Magic Circle was much more complex than he thought and even Thief God Milton would not be able to bypass it if even a single move was not perfect.
“It is a pity!” he mumbled as he flew.
If he was in the Golden Castle, he would be able to analyze what this Magic Circle didin real time with the Magic Circle Spirit. Then, he would be able to take away all twelve of those Divine Bodies.
For this operation, he had even left a Scroll of Town Portal on Thief God Milton. It would allow him to bring all those Holy Bodies into the Dark World in just five seconds!
Of course, it could also act as a life saver if necessary. He would rather kill Thief God Milton than let the Wizard Union find out what was in Thief God Milton’s portal bag!
It was filled with secrets, from Full Recovery Potions to the Dark Gold Poison.
As Milton approached the pile of holy Crystals, Abel suddenly sensed a holy energy field surrounding something.
“What is that?” All of those Divine Bodies and those holy crystals were all protecting an object? What could the Wizard Union care so much about?
After all, the Wizard Union only gave ten holy crystals to their legendary wizards every century, and the fanatical Holy Kingdom had only accumulated five thousand holy crystals after thousands of years.
Somehow the Wizard Union had gained ten thousand of them! There was no way they would be able to get so many if they hadn’t looted so many from the gods!
As Abel kept approaching the holy crystals, a familiar feeling suddenly emerged from his soul.
It was the World Stone!
A thought suddenly struck him. This was not a strong energy, almost like it was coming from an embryo.
Still, Abel knew there was no mistake, so he carefully lifted the holy crystals away, one by one.
Suddenly Milton’s eyes flew open. There was a heart-like object within, still beating gently.
If there wasn’t a World Stone energy coming from it, Abel would definitely have thought this heart belonged to a living being.
Or maybe… it was from a living being, and the Wizard Union was trying to cultivate a World Stone out of it!
Abel quickly thought of the Dark World’s World Stone. It was made from the god Aron’s eyes, so maybe the Wizard Union was trying to turn this heart into a World Stone as well!
Abel had a feeling that he was touching the deepest secret of this world. Although he didn’t know what a World Stone could do in this world, he knew it would be more important than anything he had ever seen here.
The only thing comparable might be the scattered pieces of the World Stone he had from the Dark World, but since they were only scattered pieces, some of their power had been lost.
He already had the power of god in four continents in the Dark World. He had always wondered what would happen if he gathered all the scattered pieces of the Dark World’s World Stone.
But before he could even do that, he had found a World Stone of this world!
