Chapter 1502: Marlo City

With a wave, Wizard Smith was brought out in midair. Since the prison of the Kingdom was too secure, Wizard Smith fainted during the process.

“Wizard McPhee, let’s go back to the Golden Castle, and you can have a chat with him alone!” Abel smiled. He grabbed the unconscious Wizard Smith and they left.

After they reappeared in the Golden Castle, he handed Wizard Smith to Wizard McPhee and went off on his own to enjoy a glass of Water Spirit Fruit juice.

During the process, he could almost hear Wizard Smith yelling frantically, “I would rather die than pledge allegiance to him! Mr. Basham will save me!”

However as Wizard McPhee continued to negotiate, Wizard Smith’s voice died down.

—

After two hours, both of them returned to Abel.

“Mr. Abel, Wizard Smith will pledge allegiance to you!” Wizard Smith had accepted his fate and got down on his knees.

“I will accept your loyalty!” Abel stepped up and tapped him with a strand of World Energy.

When Wizard Smith stood up again, Abel turned to Wizard McPhee. “McPhee, you are now the Vice President of the Wizard Union. I will give you triple the resources you were allocated before!”

...

“Thank you, Mr. Abel!” Wizard McPhee bowed.

“I won’t mistreat you like Wizard Basham. Since resources of your Rank are no longer useful to me, you can earn as many as you need if you work hard!” Abel smiled at him.

——

After Abel left Wizard McPhee and Wizard Smith, Abel sensed a message from Doff. It was a request from the Moon Goddess, Earth Goddess, and the God of Wealth.

Abel Flashed into Doff’s Kingdom, where they were already waiting for him. Their faces were filled with excitement as they began to congratulate Abel.

“My lord, you are now the President of the Wizard Union and you defeat Wizard Basham and the Demon from Beyond!” The Moon Goddess was still in disbelief.

She had watched Abel since he was a kid, and had never expected this day to ever happen.

Abel bowed back and said, “Yes, it’s good that you are all here. I was just looking for you!”

“By your command!” the Moon Goddess answered quickly.

“Pay attention to your faithful grounds. As long as there is information regarding the Demon from Beyond or Wizard Basham, notify me!” Abel said grimly.

“My lord, it is very unlikely that they will come near our faithful grounds!” The Moon Goddess wanted to help Abel, but she knew how low the possibility was.

“I will tell all the other gods, as well, I’m sure Wizard Basham or the Demon from Beyond will make a mistake eventually!” Abel smiled.

“Then we will be on our way!” the Moon Goddess bowed.

But as she turned, Abel added, “Another thing! Now you can also expand your faith further and you no longer have to give the Wizard Union your holy crystals!” Abel smiled and continued, “Moon Goddess, can I speak with you in private?”

This was great news! As the Moon Goddess stayed, the other two gods left with smiles.

“Since I am now the new President of the Wizard Union, the Goddess of Valor can build her Kingdom. I will notify the Wizard Union soon, and send out some wizards to protect her!” Abel continued smiling.

Joy sparked in the Moon Goddess’s eyes. If the Goddess of Valor could not rebuild her Kingdom, she would never get more powerful.

Also, since the elves could expand their faith, they might have enough mana to cultivate more elven gods!

The Moon Goddess bowed quickly again. “My Lord, do you think Lorraine can become an elf god? We have enough resources to support three elf gods!”

Abel hesitated. He had picked the path of a professional instead of being a god, but he couldn’t do that for Lorraine.

Although Lorraine had never trained to be a professional, she still had the potential to become one if she chose!

“I’ll leave the decision to Lorraine herself!” Abel replied gently.

“Yes, my Lord!” the Moon Goddess bowed once more.

—

After she left, Abel had all his other gods return to their Kingdoms. At first he had been worried that someone would attack the Golden Castle, but he no longer needed to be concerned as the new Wizard Union President.

The news of Abel becoming the new Wizard Union President spread through the Central Continent like wildfire.

It was unlike anything before. The Dwarf King Dunba was so happy that he immediately pledged allegiance to Abel.

The dwarves were living better than ever, and their last bit of worry had faded!

It was definitely worth a celebration, but of course, they would not bother Abel with such trivial things.

They were not the only ones. The elves, the Tauren, the Barbarians, and the Lightnings also went crazy and organized some huge parties in honor of Abel.

But since Wizard Basham was still alive, the Wizard Union themselves did not have a formal celebration.

On the other hand, the Water Goddess and the God of Death were filled with regret. They had already started to feel that way the last time they saw Abel on the Warding Wall, but things had turned out even worse than they had imagined.

They had a chance to follow the most powerful figure of the world, and they had let it slide!

It not only ended up with them being injured by Wizard Basham, but their future was a total blur!

——

Still, all these events were only happening among the professionals, normal people had never even heard of the Wizard Union President.

Marlo City was one of them. They were one of the rare cities near the shore, because the ocean was not a place for resources for humans. They were a source of disasters.

The reason Marlo City existed was because of a huge river called the Marlo River. It covered a third of the Central Continent and supported many farms and industries.

Since Marlo City was located near the end of the Marlo River, it had become one of the largest ports around. Its population had stabilized at around a hundred thousand people, with many people coming and going each day. It was one of the rare vibrant economies around.

At the moment, two beings were hovering above the city and looking down at those people like they were seeing ants.

“Basham, you picked a nice place, with not many resources for professionals. The Wizard Union probably won’t care too much!” Archangel Tyrael nodded.

Wizard Basham’s heart was aching as he listened to those words. Marlo City was one of the cities the Wizard Union hadn’t cared much about during his ten thousand years in power, and he was about to unleash a massacre upon them with his enemy.

But since he had lost the connection to the Wizard Spirit, he knew he was not a part of the Wizard Union anymore, and his fury was pushing him to do things against his morals.

He was also not as strong as Abel, so the only hope he had was to connect to Hell!

“Just get it over with. Our operation will be much harder if Abel fully takes over the Wizard Union!” Wizard Basham replied grimly.

“Basham, we still need some preparation. We need to set up a shrine in the middle of the city!” Archangel Tyrael added softly.

—

They did a little trick and quietly landed in Marlo City without anyone noticing.

In the middle of the city lived a Baron, his six family members, twenty servants, twenty guards, and three low-rank wizards. As soon as Wizard Basham and Archangel Tyrael landed, everyone was immediately knocked out.

They did not kill them because they didn’t want to waste any souls, and it was best to keep things low profile.

—

The following day, Archangel Tyrael used the three hundred kilos of Eternity Jade, Blood Flame Crystals, and Dimension Cloud Rocks to build a shrine.

As the sun began to set the next day, the shrine was finished.

On a green patch of grass, stood a blood-red evil shrine. Anyone who saw it would feel a tingle in their soul.

It was no ordinary building. If Archangel Tyrael had not suppressed it with his Power of The Will. It would have started to suck up souls already!

Archangel Tyrael turned and said to Wizard Basham, “It’s done, but you will be the one contacting Hell!”

If Hell knew an angel was contacting it, it might sacrifice a large amount of energy to track down the shrine.

After all, they were natural enemies!

Wizard Basham gave Archangel Tyrael a look and nodded. He did not say too much because he knew everyone had secrets, let alone this angel from another world.

Archangel Tyrael had been badly injured when he first appeared in the Central Continent, so Basham could imagine how powerful his enemy must have been.

Archangel Tyrael transferred a Curse to Wizard Basham. Wizard Basham had never seen anything like it, but he could still use it with his current power.

Meanwhile, Archangel Tyrael Flashed hundreds of meters away.

Wizard Basham’s eyes twitched. He didn’t like to face the unknown, and Archangel Tyrael was acting too strangely.

Still, it was too late to go back, as there was nothing he wanted more than to defeat Abel!
