<h4>Chapter 831: Nicholson</h4>
As one of the lesser-known low-level nes of the Wild Star Domain, Arbitor World was even less prominent than Sandstorm World.
At least Sandstorm World had energy crystal veins with decent reserves, making it a somewhat valuable asset. Otherwise, Feylis would not have gone through the trouble of pulling a few strings to get it assigned to her favorite apprentice.
Arbitor World, by contrast, offered only nt resources of low value and subpar subgori species.
Across the hundreds ofplete nes within the Wild Star Domain, Arbitor World was among the most unremarkable.
But today, it had be the stage for a historical event—a battle between two Rank Six beings.
For nearly half a year, Wild Gori God and the ck Viperfish Serpent Warlock named Nicholson had shed here.
Bothbatants were powerful in their own right.
Wild Gori God, a dominating figure in this star domain and its neighbors, wielded a world-ss secret treasure known as the “Gori God Hammer”.
Having expanded the territory of its civilization to two medium-sized nes and several low-level worlds, Wild Gori God was the undisputed tyrant of this little star domain before the arrival of the Magus Civilization.
Nicholson, his opponent, had long been a highly reputed Rank Six ck Viperfish Serpent Warlock in the Magus World.
The ck Viperfish Serpent Warlock n was an ancient lineage, with a history stretching back hundreds of thousands of years.
Over the centuries, it had produced two Rank Six warlocks and more than a dozen Rank Four and Rank Five warlocks.
Though the n had a long-standing feud with the Kermoine Serpent Warlock n, its strength far surpassed that of its rival.
In addition to having a Rank Six leader at the helm, the ck Viperfish Serpent Warlock who had appeared in Arbitor World wielded a world-ss secret treasure—a magic rod crowned with what resembled a snake’s fang.
The Kermoine Serpent Warlock n indeed had a solid foundation. For a Rank Six expert in the Magus World, acquiring such a treasure was no small feat.
This particr weapon was the ck Viperfish Serpent Warlock n’s heirloom. The Silver Fang Scepter was forged a hundred and fifty thousand years ago by a former n head.
Before his death, he poured every ounce of his mana, along with a staggering amount of the n’s wealth and resources, into the creation of this masterpiece.
Of course, even world-ss secret treasures varied in quality.
The craftsmanship of the Silver Fang Scepter, created through the advanced alchemical techniques of the Magus World and the rarest resources from the Magus Alliance, surpassed that of the Gori God Hammer.
While the Gori God Hammer was considered a rare and coveted treasure by Rank Four and above gods of ordinary realms, it was a lesser prize in the eyes of Magus World elites with ess to vast resources.
The ck Viperfish Serpent Warlock n was not as wealthy as the Dragon Warlock n.
The Silver Fang Scepter remained the only masterpiece in their possession.
Given the opportunity, Nicholson would love to add the Gori God Hammer to his collection.
Even if no Magus World mage was adventurous enough to wield a war hammer as a weapon, possessing another world-ss secret treasure in his arsenal was undeniably appealing.
He could always sell it to a knight or an allied god in need of such a weapon.
Perhaps he could also melt it down to extract its rareponents, repurposing them to forge another world-ss secret treasure.
Nicholson’s giant serpent form stretched over a thousand meters, his ck, sinuous body casting a shadow that darkened the sky.
Amid the thick clouds, which swirled like toxic mist, his ominous hisses and the scalp-numbing screech of his scales grinding against one another sent shivers through every creature on the battlefield.
In contrast, the Rank Six Wild Gori God stood proudly like a golden war god, hundreds of meters tall, wielding a colossal hammer of equal length.
The battle between these two Rank Six powerhouses had ravaged a third of Arbitor World over the past six months.
The Wild Gori God fought with its signature ferocity, unleashing its explosive power without restraint. For him, holding back was an alien concept.
Meanwhile, the Rank Six ck Viperfish Serpent Warlock fought with calcted indifference. Arbitor World was not his n’s territory, and his involvement here was little more than a gesture of goodwill to the Kermoine Serpent n.
As far as Nicholson was concerned, the fate of this world was inconsequential.
Yet, as the battle raged on, both Nicholson and Wild Gori God could not help but marvel at each other’s immense strength.
Despite being seasoned through countless battles against Rank Six powerhouses in the foreign star domains, Wild Gori God, armed with the Gori God Hammer, was undoubtedly among the most formidable foes Nicholson had ever faced.
Likewise, Wild Gori God feared this Magus World Rank Six powerhouse, who could transform into an immense, ck serpent.
Over the years, Wild Gori God had shed with numerous Rank Sixbatants from the Magus World.
Though it had long dismissed Tyrant Tiger King and believed its own power would one day surpass even the Violet Dragon God, its experiences in the war against the Magus Civilization over these few years had humbled it.
Despite its arrogance, it had to admit that there were indeed many stronger powerhouses in the vast Astral Realm.
In fact, among the several Rank Six Magus World experts who had already appeared on the Wild Gori World battlefield, at least three were as powerful as Wild Gori God—if not stronger.
Now, it had to add this Rank Six ck Viperfish Serpent Warlock named Nicholson to that list.
This harsh realization struck a heavy blow to the Wild Gori God’s arrogance. For someone so domineering and conceited, it fell silent for once.
It had boasted to Thunder Gori God that it would deal with this Rank Six Magus World powerhouse in Arbitor World swiftly.
Yet, after half a year of fighting, there was still no clear winner.
Given the profound endurance and strength of Rank Six beings, it was bing increasingly apparent that, in a one-on-one battle, the two of them might fight for over a decade without determining a victor.
While Nicholson could endure such a drawn-out conflict, could Wild Gori God do the same?
With its chest heaving and gasping for air, the Wild Gori God cast its gaze toward the starry sky, focusing on a region near Sandstorm World.
The proximity of the two nes, coupled with its heightened perception, allowed it to sense the arrival of Magus World’s reinforcements near Sandstorm World.
Half a year was neither too long nor too short.
For Magus World’s reinforcements to reach Sandstorm World now was not surprising—it was, in fact, within Wild Gori God’s worst expectations.
By the Magus Civilization’s standards, however, this speed of deployment was considered rtively slow.
This dy wasrgely due to the Wild Gori Army receiving covert support from the Gant Federation.

They used special methods to block the perceptions of the Magus Civilization’s powerhouses.
In the first few months, particrly, this interference had disrupted prophetic divinations and dyed strategic responses.
Had it not been for two space fortresses docked at Luther that managed to break free and deliver critical information, the Magus Civilization’s reaction might have been dyed by another two months.
Fortunately for the Magus World Army, the reinforcements had arrived in time.
Energy fluctuations from Sandstorm World and Arbitor World indicated that both battlefronts remained locked in fiercebat.
This, however, was a far better situationpared to the devastation on other nes along the reinforcements’ route.
At Luther, for example, the Magus World garrisons stationed across five low-level and micrones had beenpletely annihted by the Wild Gori elite forces.
This devastation served as a painful reminder that, despite the vast disparity in strength between the two civilizations, the Wild Gori World was still capable of delivering significant blows to the Magus Civilization’s invading forces when cornered.
The arrival of the Magus Civilization’s reinforcements, coupled with the prolonged resistance at Sandstorm World, gave the Wild Gori God pause.
After a long, reluctant nce back at the battlefield of Arbitor World, it transformed into a golden streak of light and departed.
This time, it left alone.
There was no time to inform the other two Rank Four Gori Gods stationed in Arbitor World, nor the nearly one-million-strong Wild Gori Army.
Wild Gori God’s destination was clear—Sandstorm World.
Nicholson watched the departure, easily guessing the Rank Six Gori God’s intent.
After a moment of consideration, Nicholson decided to give chase.
Although the specific details of the Magus World legions stationed at Sandstorm World were unclear to Nicholson, what truly drove him forward was the allure of the Wild Gori God’s treasures—its Rank Six divine relic and world-ss secret treasure.
After fighting Wild Gori God for nearly half a year, Nicholson was not about to let such valuable spoils slip away.
Regardless of who among the Magus World powerhouses ultimately dealt the killing blow to Wild Gori God, Nicholson was determined to im his share of the spoils—and it would be a substantial share!
