Chapter 1531 The Once Little Demon <TOC> Chapter 1533 The Inevitable Conclusion

As the narrator spoke, exclamations had already begun to emanate from the audience.
“Yes, it is indeed the name you are all thinking of right now!”
As soon as these words fell, a vague silhouette began to materialize in the final seat floating outside the dome.
“Super Dimensional!”
“Angel Pat!”
As the narrator loudly proclaimed, Angel’s figure fully materialized. Dressed in a jade-green tailored suit, he looked tall and poised, with an air of cool detachment.
At the same time, a screen also displayed Angel’s information.
However, the audience at this moment was either gasping at Angel’s appearance or marveling that he had indeed advanced as described in —Sky of Truth—. Few people paid attention to the information on the screen.
But in the VIP room, Gloria focused her attention on the screen immediately.
Clearly written in the ‘nickname’ column about Angel was: Super Dimensional!
“Super Dimensional? Is that the mysterious title he’s been concealing?” A perplexed look crossed Gloria’s eyes, “Does it imply transcending dimensions? It sounds grandiose, but…”
Liana, also deep in thought, picked up where Gloria left off: “Yet, it seems to have little to do with illusions and alchemy.”
Gloria nodded, “However, his lofty ambitions are quite apparent.”
Super Dimensional — although this was the first time Gloria had encountered such a phrase, from the perspective of a formal wizard with true knowledge, aspiring to reach such a state was almost synonymous with the pursuit of ultimate truth.
Liana: “So, is this a nickname with an aspiration for truth? ‘Super Dimensional Wizard’ might be a bit of a mouthful, but it doesn’t sound too bad.”
In the audience section, the atmosphere reaches its peak since the event began, all due to the appearance of Angel.
The discussion about whether Angel has become a formal wizard has been one of the hottest topics in Sky Mechanical City ever since —Sky of Truth— became a talking point. It’s also a topic shrouded in speculation and mystery. From start to finish, no one has confirmed whether Angel has advanced in realm, nor has anyone denied it. The topic has been debated to an almost unimaginable degree of intensity amid this ambiguity.
Arguments, defenses, sarcasm, ridicule, and even bets among friends have all occurred over this topic.
All these speculations are finally confirmed in the moment Angel appears. This is one of the reasons why the atmosphere is so electric, causing people of all ages to join the uproar.
Even Melanctha, one of the persons responsible for Infinite Battle Tower, is somewhat surprised and caught off guard.
Before this match, the persons in charge of Infinite Battle Tower had a meeting where some suggested that having Angel appear last would surely elevate the heat of the Novastar Competition to new heights.
Many opposed this idea at the time, including Melanctha, who felt uneasy about it.
In the end, the decision was made by Rosen. He switched Angel to the final spot, and as it turns out, Rosen’s decision was spot-on.
An unprecedented fervor appears at this moment.
Unable to resist, Melanctha glances towards the person at the epicenter of this whirlpool of attention. Angel seems completely unaffected by the surrounding uproar. With grace, Angel gives a slight nod and then takes a seat.
For someone of Angel’s age to maintain such composure while being the center of attention for thousands, Melanctha can’t help but give an inward nod of approval.
While admiring Angel, Melanctha was also quietly nursing a wound. She had witnessed Angel’s journey from a low-level apprentice to where he is now, all while exploring the Savage Grottoes. She was acutely aware that Angel had accomplished in a few years what took her decades.
This stark contrast left Melanctha feeling as though her past years had been wasted living like a dog’s life.
As Melanctha indulged in her self-mockery, various expressions could be seen on the faces of those in the audience who knew Angel.
A handsome man with fish scale patterns on his forehead, known as “Son of the Ocean,” showed eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
Sitting on a broomstick and holding a lantern, Cherie looked at Angel with eyes full of fighting spirit, her gaze stoic.
Alan, who had greasy food in his mouth and was holding a skewer of grilled meat, went from being stunned to surprised, and finally ecstatic. He wanted to hug the person next to him, Sunisha, but was kicked away by Carvelyn.
A woman, half of her figure transformed into shadowy geese, hugged her overly emotional companion next to her. When she looked at Angel, her eyes were filled with complexity.
A centaur standing at the far end of the crowd looked at Angel with joyful eyes. After a moment, he respectfully lowered his head, seemingly expressing gratitude.
The buzz in the crowd lasted for quite some time and finally began to wane as the countdown timer for the competition appeared on the screen.
However, the chatter among the audience did not cease.
After contemplating Angel’s rapid progress, someone finally noticed the nickname for Angel displayed on the screen.
“Super Dimensional? So that’s the title of the Wizard Pat?” someone exclaimed, “Never heard of it before.”
“Actually, I think Illusion Music Box Magician sounds better.” There were dissenting voices, no matter the topic or the time.
“I admit that the music boxes crafted by Wizard Pat are melodious, but do you really find the title ‘Illusion Music Box Magician’ pleasing? Why not try calling him that the next time you see him and see how he reacts?” someone retorted sarcastically.
“What does ‘super-dimensional’ mean?”
“Who knows? But when I hear it, I’m struck by a vision of something grand and distant, like an elusive truth that’s out of reach.”
“You speak as if you’ve encountered this elusive truth.”
The whispered chatter also reached Angel’s ears.
Angel’s gaze shifted to the screen where the word “Super Dimensional” appeared — a pseudonym he had instructed Antonio to register for him.
His alias didn’t lean on his innate talents but rather on his vision — transcending beyond dimensions.
Only by achieving this could he potentially surpass the universe’s limitations and fulfill his promise to Jon: sending him back to Earth.
Of course, choosing this pseudonym was not just for Jon’s sake.
Transcending dimensions is also Angel’s goal. Only by setting sights on distant horizons can one have the chance to transcend dimensional limitations and seek their authentic self and ultimate truth.
As Gloria pointed out, transcending dimensions is, in fact, a Vision of Truth.
…
The competition countdown on the screen showed five minutes remaining.
Spivey showed no signs of preparing for the upcoming match; his gaze remained fixed on the screen.
The information about Angel projected on the screen, coupled with the view of the outside world, left Spivey’s expression incredibly complex.
Spivey always felt that even if he set aside the past glory of Grak, starting anew with his experience and his exceptionally gifted body, achieving his past accomplishments shouldn’t be difficult.
Even if he couldn’t become a formal wizard in a short period, he would surely not be weaker than Angel.
However, reality proved to be stark. His self-satisfaction and presumptuousness were but fleeting leaves in the wind.
Angel advanced at an incredible speed, serving him a resounding slap to the face.
The complexity of his emotions was almost indescribable.
Still, Spivey had once been a formal wizard. He knew how to self-regulate his emotions. After smoothing over the psychological gap, he discarded unnecessary thoughts. When he looked at Angel, all that remained was a sense of awe and admiration.
Regardless, he had sworn the Merck Soul Source Oath to Sanders and now belonged to Phantom Island; Angel’s advancement was absolutely good news for him. Moreover, Angel was a member of the Research Institute. In the Twilight’s Edge, where “Grak” had been, there were hardly any alchemists, let alone connections with the Research Institute.
Thinking about this, Spivey’s initial reluctance to join Phantom Island completely vanished, even turning into a feeling of relief.
At that moment, Dominico, who was sitting across from Spivey, also looked at the screen thoughtfully. “He is someone highly regarded by Lord Mumin. Initially, Lord Mumin wanted to bring him into the Torch Institute but failed. However, Lord Mumin has stated multiple times that he highly appreciates Angel… ah, he should be called Wizard Pat now.”
Spivey didn’t comment on Dominico’s words, simply saying, “His achievements are worthy of admiration.”
Spivey’s rare response caught Dominico off guard, who then broke into a blossoming smile. “I almost forgot, you’re from the Savage Grottoes too, right? Wizard Pat is still so young, yet the gap between you and him is so wide. Do you feel like you’re suffocating under a mountain covered in pristine snow?”
The theatrical tone and the meaningless exclamation made Spivey’s fists itch.
Spivey responded with a cold smile, “All I said was that he is worthy of this admiration. You’re overinterpreting things.”
“Are you mad because I hit a nerve?”
Speechless, Spivey looked at Dominico. “Do you have a tendency to let your imagination run wild? Perhaps you’ve already fantasized about my entire life just by me standing here?”
“No, no, no. What I see is but a scene in a play, the scene where you are struggling to survive after I’ve defeated you.”
Spivey didn’t respond. He saw no point in engaging in a war of words with people from the Torch Institute.
His gaze shifted to the countdown displayed on the screen.
Only one minute remained before the competition began.
