"I know how strong you are, but the Library's duty is to prevent the world from falling into chaos due to magic," The Librarian said firmly, "So, no matter what the cost, no matter what sacrifices are made, we must stop you."

These people know very well that the magic in this world is slowly fading. In today's era, the number of people who can truly be called wizards can be counted on one hand.

It is for this reason that magic Divine Artifact, which contains powerful power and can be used by anyone, is so popular.

However, what shocked them was that they actually encountered a powerful Grand Wizard who could rival the ancient gods. They knew very well how serious the current situation was.

Suddenly, a sword came from behind Accio and landed firmly in the Librarian's hand: it was King Arthur's sword, Excalibur (Excalibur). At the same time, a set of black armor also appeared on the woman next to him.

"Is that Genghis Khan's armor?" Ian asked, but no one answered him.

The Librarian suddenly waved his sword, and a huge beam of light instantly engulfed Ian. The beam of light shot straight into the sky, thousands of meters high, and everyone in North America could see this phenomenon.

After more than thirty seconds, the light dissipated, and Ian's figure emerged. Except for a few minor burns on his arms and face, he was unscathed.

"Is this Sixth Tier's magic immunity?" He murmured to himself, "Even such a powerful Fifth Tier attack has almost no effect. No, this high-strength immunity should be attributed to Crystallized Magic. If it were another ordinary Sixth Tier mage, he would probably be injured more seriously after being hit by this attack."

After talking to himself, he raised his head and found that the Librarian, who had just launched the attack, had suddenly aged by more than ten years and turned into a frail old man.

"Is this the price for bringing Excalibur to such power?" Ian said while calmly casting healing magic on himself.

Immediately afterwards, his right hand turned into a large amount of sand, rushing toward the Librarian and his Guardians.

The armor on Guardians released a shield in an attempt to protect the two of them. But Ian had no intention of attacking, he just wanted to trap them.

Soon, a huge maracas enveloped the two of them, forming a solid cage.

Feeling the struggle of the two people inside, Ian nodded with satisfaction. This Sandification Spell was the result of his research on Imhotep.

Although the team has not found a way to permanently Elementalization the body, the spells created during the research process are already very practical.

Then, Ian looked at Judson and Charlene.

"You know, violence is usually my least favorite method."

"No matter what you do, it's useless," Charlene said.

"How to say?"

"The moment you arrived, I had sacrificed our immortality, cut off the Library's anchor, and made it disappear forever," Judson replied.

Ian calmly raised his head and looked at Void behind them. "It has not disappeared."

"What do you mean?"

"Your the Library exists in an independent dimension. The chain you just cut off only cut off its connection with the current space."

"What do you want to say?" Charlene asked.

"It means, as long as I have the coordinates of that dimension, I can still teleport in," Ian replied.

The moment he stepped into this room, he noticed that the Library was rapidly leaving the current space.

Therefore, he immediately contacted Morgana and asked her to calculate the coordinates of the Library dimension at full speed.

Just now, he received a notification from Morgana. A white light instantly enveloped the five people present and teleported them all into the Library.

When they realized where they were, Judson and Charlene were shocked.

At the same time, Ian removed the maracas. Guardians was supporting the Librarian, who was dying because he had sacrificed a lot of his life to activate Excalibur.

"Huh?" Ian seemed to sense something, his eyes glowed purple Blink, and he looked around.

"This the Library is managed by some kind of artificial intelligence-like consciousness. This is easy to handle. Morgana, hack it and take over control."

"As you wish, boss," House-elf, with short purple hair, responded.

The Library's AI, like her, is a magical artificial intelligence.

So, she quickly launched an electronic warfare offensive. In just a few seconds, she won.

Compared to Morgana, this native AI is really lagging behind, not to mention that the main server of Morgana is still based on a unique and powerful Divine Artifact.

"Master, I have completely controlled the Library and turned off the self-destruct program."

"Good job. Put these four people in jail before they calm down. Keep that the Librarian, he may be useful in the future."

After dealing with these people, Ian began to read the books in the library eagerly.

He did not touch those Divine Artifact for the time being, but asked Morgana to classify them first.

Most of the books here are magic books, which record various curses. Some of the books themselves are powerful Divine Artifact, containing profound spells; others record the true history that has been concealed.

Ian took a whole week to read all the books in it.

This gave him a deeper understanding of the magic system of the universe and the control of different energies.

His biggest takeaway, however, were some historical records.

In a book, a sentence caught his attention:

"War in Heaven caused the fall of the gods."

After further research, he confirmed one of his conjectures: a tragic war broke out between different pantheons, resulting in the death of countless gods and the survivors being seriously injured.

The Hebrew/Christianity god, Jehovah, declared war on all other pantheons in order to fight for control of the faith.

This war initially began with the rise of Christianity in the mortal world, and eventually spread to Heaven - the realm where the gods live.

However, according to Ian's research, he knew that this war was far from being as simple as imagined because a lot of information had been lost.

Something seemed to have gone wrong during the process.

After finishing the book, Ian turned his attention to Divine Artifact - especially Time Machine by H. G.Wells.

Unfortunately, this Divine Artifact is at best an upgraded version of Time-Turner, which can only slightly improve his understanding of Time Magic.

However, Ian was not disappointed because he found something better: Book of Solomon.

This is a piece of Divine Artifact that allows the user to control time and space at will.

Using his knowledge of the movie plot and the information in the Library, he quickly found Solomon's Mine (Solomon's Mine) where the book was stored.

As for the Freemasons members responsible for guarding the mine, they are just a group of ordinary people and do not pose any threat.

In the process, he also took away Spear of Longinus and Judas's Holy Grail.

Because that spear had been bathed in the blood of Jesus, a son of God, it contained a large amount of sacred energy.

Nonetheless, Ian's main focus remained on that book; over the next few months, he studied it day and night.

When his research was completed, his ability to use Time Magic without external force was greatly improved.

Although he was eager to test his newly created spell immediately, he had one more important thing to do.

So, he used the power of Book of Solomon to distort time and space, and contacted the creator of this book: Solomon.

In a mirror in front of him, a man wearing a crown, a long white beard, and ancient costumes appeared.

The man was only briefly surprised when he saw a circular passage suddenly appeared in front of him and the figure at the other end appeared.

After looking at it for a while, Solomon said, "Someone is using my book to talk to me across time and space? How interesting."

"Hello, Solomon," Ian greeted with a smile.

"What a powerful wizard," the king responded, "And a man who uses inner magic."

There was a trace of Envy. Ian in Solomon's voice. Ian guessed that the so-called inner witchcraft should be Forbidden Witchcraft mentioned by Imhotep, which refers to those who are born with energy or magic in their bodies.

"So, young man, why are you contacting me, a dead man?"

"I just want to know some secrets from the past. However, I don't want to travel back in time and disrupt the continuity of time and space, so I think using your book to have a conversation is the safest way."

As a wise man, Solomon immediately understood the implication of Ian. Playing with time at will can easily destroy the reality of Cornerstone.

Therefore, Ian does not want to take risks. Using this book greatly reduces the risk. After all, it was created by Solomon, one of the greatest wizards that has ever existed in this world.

Even if something goes wrong, Ian can solve the problem as long as this book is destroyed.

"So, what do you want to know?" Solomon didn't mind Ian's caution.

"Many things. For example, why did the gods fall? Why was magic almost extinct in my time? I am also curious about you. How did you become so powerful in a world where magic is declining day by day?"

Just by reading that book, Ian can understand how terrifying Solomon was in its heyday; it was a Seventh Tier wizard who had the power to destroy stars.
