Several hours after Ian's World Gate evacuated at full speed, Truth finally drove away all the raging Void Energy.
His face without facial features seemed to be filled with gloom.
With a wave of his hand, the clone Ian left on the tower together with the entire ruins was Annihilation. But this did not calm Truth's anger. He knew that it was just an empty shell.
He immediately turned to the door that leads to the ultimate in the universe [Origin Gate].
"I want all the information about that wizard! His coordinates, his home planet, his soul frequency! I want him to pay the price!"
Truth roared to Origin Gate, and without hesitation showed all the data he had collected about Ian: DNA, magic power fluctuations, and soul characteristics.
"The price is not a problem, as long as we can find him!"
Origin Gate Blink After a moment, a cold mechanical sound sounded in Truth's mind:
[Query request received. Retrieving...] [Warning: The target is protected by advanced Law of Causality.] [Insufficient permissions. Your access is denied.]
"What?!" Truth was in disbelief, "Who has higher authority than me? In this plane, I am a god!"
[The target's soul is engraved with 'Merlin's Mark'. This imprint is protected by Multiverse-level protocol.]
Hearing the name "Merlin", Truth calmed down instantly.
Of course He knows that name. That old bastard who wanders in countless parallel universes, not only has unfathomable strength, but is also extremely defensive and has a bad taste.
"It turns out there is a backer..."
Truth's anger had to be forcibly suppressed. Although he was the king of this world, he did not dare to make a mistake when faced with an existence of Merlin's level.
"Forget it."
Truth Self comforted, "Anyway, that Authority is just a drop in the bucket to me. Soul Energy can be regenerated, and Knowledge Dimension can be repaired. The biggest loss is just that those mortals have temporarily lost Gate of Truth."
"Just think of it as being bitten by a dog."
Truth Although he said this, he knew in his heart that the relationship was finally settled this time.
At the same time, Void deep.
Ian is driving World Gate, traveling through the dimensional turbulence at a conceptual speed exceeding the speed of light.
"Morgana, cut off all unnecessary energy consumption and supply full power to Void Engine!"
"Master, are you overreacting?" Morgana was a little confused, "We have escaped very far."
"No, you don't understand."
Ian stood in front of the console with solemn eyes, "What I'm worried about is not that Truth will catch up. What I'm worried about is that he uses Akashic Records to directly locate our home universe."
"If he knows our coordinates, with his vengeful character, even if he cannot come, he may sell the coordinates to other more terrifying entities."
"So, we have to be quick. Besides, the first thing we do after we get back is to look for the thigh."
Ian touched his chin and showed his iconic "I'm plotting against someone again" smile.
"Who?"
"Of course it's the old man who threw me into this world and stamped my soul."
One month later.
World Gate finally broke through the dimensional barrier and saw the familiar space bubble.
Harry Potter world.
But Ian did not land directly. He stopped at Void, the outer layer of the universe, and then activated the mark deep in his soul and sent a specific wavelength signal.
[Calling the old man.] [I'm in trouble. Big trouble.]
The wait was long. Just when Ian thought that the signal transmission had failed, an irresistible force suddenly came and enveloped World Gate in an instant.
There was no sense of tearing, just a sense of dizziness as time and space were folded at will.
When his vision returned, Ian found that he was no longer in Void, but standing on a grassy field filled with birds singing and flowers fragrant.
In front of him, an old man wearing a gray robe and a long white beard was looking at him with a smile.
Merlin.
Not the one in the legend, but a real, living legend.
"Hey, little Ian, how long have you been back since you left?"
Merlin stroked his beard, his eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything were filled with teasing, "Look at how embarrassed you are, did you get into trouble over there? And it's the kind of big trouble that requires parents to step in to solve it?"
Being seen through at a glance, Ian was a little embarrassed.
But he had developed his shame a long time ago. He immediately put on a bright smile like "seeing relatives" and got closer.
"No way, Grandpa Merlin. Don't I miss you? I came back specially to say hello to you."
"Don't do this." Merlin knocked on the staff, "I don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. Tell me, what did you do? Whose Divine Artifact did you steal? Or blew up whose temple?"
"Ahem... it's actually nothing."
Ian rubbed his hands and said lightly, "In other words, I took some Authority casually, and then offended the Truth of that world to death."
Merlin's hand shook and he almost pulled out a few beards.
He stared at Ian with wide eyes, and after a long time, he suddenly burst into hearty laughter.
"Hahahaha! What a boy! Got the guts!"
"This is like the person chosen by me! Damn the rules, damn the gods! If you want it, then go get it! Once you get it, it's your ability!"
Merlin laughed so hard that he almost burst into tears. He patted Ian on the shoulder so hard that he almost knocked Ian into the ground.
"Don't worry, as long as you return to this universe, even if the so-called 'Truth' comes after you, old man, I can make it impossible for him to come back."
After hearing this promise, Ian finally let go of his hanging heart.
Is this what it feels like to hold your thighs? It smells so good.
However, Ian knows that there is no free lunch in the world. Since Merlin is willing to protect him, he must have some agenda, or in other words, he has higher expectations for him.
"Okay, the reminiscing is over."
Merlin stopped smiling and his expression became serious, "Now that you are back safely, I should tell you some things. About the truth about this world, about your time travel, and... your future path."
"I'm all ears." Ian said seriously.
He knew that this was the real highlight.
