Chapter 531

"Tower Master, the rats have gone mad!"

In Clark's tower, Benson said to him, "These guys have gone mad after realizing that they can't even control mortals. They want your help to destroy a few academies!"

Clark was currently the one with the least pressure among the sixty-seven people. He felt that the arrangements he made a few years ago had finally paid off. Benson had become the leader of the group of Anti-Mage, and could be killed at any time to remove his taint.

"A bunch of idiots. Ignore them. You won't be affected by the power of faith. Find a way to sneak into the Scepter Empire and gather as much information as possible, as well as the way to practice the path of godhood." He paused and said disdainfully, "What a sh * tty name."

In the Ether Void, the path of godhood was extremely rare. The Holy Tower had only found a dozen in their countless years of expeditions, and the Freedom Faction had not found a single one. Naturally, they had no chance to understand the path of godhood.

However, this time, Nicholas the Fifth's preaching gave Clark another idea.

The path of godhood was very special. Their power of faith interfered with reality to a very high degree. With a little guidance, they could complete the transformation between energy and matter. If he could obtain the complete path of godhood, he could find another small plane outside of the World of Mages to promote godhood. By then, some of the products and resources would have a good value, and it would be a business without any cost.

He already knew that Adam and the academy must have found out what he had done. However, since they did not directly deal with him, it meant that there was still a chance for things to turn around. It was nothing more than cutting off some of his flesh. Perhaps the path of godhood could make up for some of the losses.

Furthermore, he had some other ideas in his mind. If one day, the World of Mages could no longer accommodate the Freedom Faction's mages, then, perhaps, it would be a good choice to become a God of Magic?

Benson did not know what the Tower Master was thinking, and he did not oppose the Tower Master's orders. He was a level four mage, and the power of faith could not affect him. He only asked, "How should we deal with the real Anti-Mages?"

"Let them die. They are not important now."

Benson hesitated and said, "Tower Master, I heard that Ronald and Laurent … want to help Anti-Mages. They are plotting to blackmail the Holy Tower to change the system of the Academy."

Clark's previous calmness was nowhere to be seen. He stood up from his seat in a sorry state and roared, "Are they crazy?!"

Ben Sen lowered his head and said, "You know, their foundation is too shallow. After the apprentice system was reformed, they were the ones who were affected the most, so …"

"Damn it! Damn it! " Clark paced back and forth in the room, constantly cursing. After a while, he stopped and said, "Give up on the people you control. No, kill the people you control. After that, you have to do something for me. Don't worry, I won't mistreat you."

"Fifty-five towers have unilaterally cut off all contact with the enemy mages, but they haven't reported it to the council yet," Wendy said to Adam in the Academy Tower.

This was expected news. Nicholas the Fifth's big move this time could be said to have helped them clear the burden on their bodies. They were eager to take this opportunity to get away.

"Among the other twelve towers, seven of them have an ambiguous attitude. They had too many enemy mages under their protection. Now that they are too powerful, they are being blackmailed." Wendy sneered. "The other five towers want to destroy the academy together with the enemy mages."

Adam felt that he really could not understand the thoughts of the enemy mages. What was the point of destroying the academy?

Now that the establishment of the Basic Academy had been completely streamlined, even if it was destroyed, the loss would not be great. Although the Central Academy was a little troublesome, it was definitely not that important. If they dared to make a move against the High Court, it would be suicide.

Could it be that they wanted to be terrorists?

But even if it was terrorism, it still had a political purpose. What could they achieve? Were they trying to use terrorism to force the council to compromise with them?

Wendy also could not understand this idea. What was even more ridiculous was the idea of free Hyperdimensional. It was simply unwise.

Adam raised his hand to pinch his chin and said, "If there are only five or twelve free mage towers involved, even if we get an excuse to punish them, it won't mean much."

In fact, it was not a big deal. After all, the mortals were separated by several levels. Although the enemy mages were a little sensitive, it would not implicate too many people. Adam's original intention was to let these sixty-seven towers do whatever they wanted. When the time came, there would naturally be a way to implicate more. However, if it was only a little, the current plan would not be of much value.

He thought about it and said, "There is no need for the academy to suffer any more losses. Order the previously retired law enforcement robots to be on standby. If anyone dares to take the risk, kill them."

Just as Adam was prepared for the impact, he suddenly realized that a large number of enemy mages under surveillance had died. The tentacles of free Hyperdimensional mage towers were rapidly shrinking, and those who could not stop in time were directly cut off.

The mages who belonged to these towers in the central courtyard immediately applied for suspension of their teaching duties. Later, they even voluntarily left the academy to avoid suspicion.

The free faction was a pure combination of interests. There was no unity to speak of. Once they realized that the situation was out of their control, or that there was a possibility that they would be implicated, they almost simultaneously chose the most advantageous way to deal with it. However, it completely screwed the remaining twelve towers.

Adam originally thought that this was all they could do, but the next step was once again beyond his expectations.

They actually had internal strife.

Benson of Clark Tower was the first to meet with Adam on behalf of the tower master. He sold all the information about the towers that were still in contact with Anti-Mage and were preparing to attack the central courtyard of Foundation Court to Adam.

This information even included the supplies that they had been supporting Anti-Mage all this time, as well as information about the movements of the Senate and other things that the exploration robots could not discover. Not only that, Clark had completely sold out his' companions' this time. He even sold out the few large financial groups that led the charge to protect Anti-Mage from the Third Holy Tower.

Adam was not in a hurry to verify the accuracy of the information. Instead, he looked at Benson in surprise, "You and your tower master, do you know the consequences of doing this?"

"Of course, Your Excellency."

"What is his purpose? Or rather, what does he want from me? "

Benson smiled and said, "The tower master intends to leave the free faction and the corporations. He wants to join the Eighth Holy Tower."
