“So, uhm… you can think of it as a more advanced process of changing the attribute of something to fire or lightning… Merlin and Cruze, you two can do something similar… right?”
Merlin sighed as he saw the pleading look on Arthur’s face.
“I can do a property change into aura power and pure spiritual power, to a certain extent. I can create an aura-powered materialization as well…” Merlin commented.
“Aura power materialization…”
Lancelot, who was recovering after having his wounds healed, stiffened as if he had been struck by lightning. Although he was a Level 12 aura power user, he still didn’t possess an attribute affinity, nor did he know how to conduct materialization. But Merlin, who wasn’t even an aura power user…
Rumble! Rumble!
Just then, a loud noise rang out. However, the epicenter of where the loud noise originated from was quite a distance away. Far away, beyond the distant clouds, the giant dragons and the Emperor of Martial Arts were fighting with a fierce momentum, which seemed to threaten to destroy the entire planet.
“Dang, they’ve already moved so far away. I guess we don’t even command any attention or interest for them, huh?”
“But is it okay for us to do nothing like this?”
“It must be a nuisance to have such useless party members who are resting for nearly an entire minute during a team fight. Ugh, we’re so useless.”
Although the speaker of the last comment was muttering in a carefree manner, his eyes were burning with anger. Though the Masters were hiding like insignificant beings, each one of them was the most powerful individuals on Earth. They made themselves small and didn’t engage in the battle because they faced the absolute wall of the Grand Masters and transcendents, so they not only felt defeated but also thoroughly ignored. Hence, none of them felt good.
And Arthur, who read the general atmosphere, waved his hand.
“Okay then, everyone please memorize this material.”
The information transmission magic barrier, manifested by Arthur, started sending material to all the Masters around him. Jeros, who was the first to accept the information, soon asked.
“A formation? What’s the name of this formation?”
“It’s called the Emperor's Submission Formation; I came up with this specific formation to attack the Emperor of Martial Arts. Of course, even if the target is not the Emperor of Martial Arts, it’s a strategic formation that can be used against any transcendent who is powerful in short, medium, and long-distance attacks.”
The expression of the gathered Masters hardened after hearing Arthur’s calm explanation. In other words, Arthur was saying that he created a strategy capable of dealing with a transcendent, the Emperor of Martial Arts in this case, in a matter of minutes.
‘Ugh. He possesses a crazy level of inspiration and genius. And they expect us to find out what unfair advantages and powers the Noblesse has given to those Heaven above the Heavens?’
Not only in Korea, but also around the world, there were many people who questioned the power of the three Heaven above the Heavens. Strictly based on common sense, it was strange that a couple of young guys and a girl, who were not world-renowned scholars and were not even old enough to have reached mastery or an extreme level in anything, possessed such logic-defying powers. Because of this, many Masters from various countries, including Jeros, were instructed by their respective governments to figure out the relationship between the Noblesse and the Heaven above the Heavens.

‘Endowed with unfair powers? No way, these three… they’re just geniuses… they’re just incomprehensible geniuses.’
Those who were relatively close to the Heaven above the Heavens saw, repeatedly, the Heaven above the Heaven’s terrifying talents, so they tangibly felt and knew the genius qualities that the three possessed. This wasn’t the first time something like this had happened either. The three Heaven above the Heavens did things that no one else would dare to attempt or even think of. Even if one devoted one’s whole life on one of the inspirational feats these three showed on a daily basis, which seemed to come so easily for them like a bird flying in the sky or a fish breathing under water, one would probably exhaust one’s life and die before reaching a similar conclusion. However, the problem was that this fact couldn’t convince others, including the Masters’ respective superiors. In the first place, even among the Masters, those who had not experienced the Heaven above the Heavens firsthand didn’t quite understand the monstrous talent that the three possessed, so there was no way non-Masters would be able to easily accept the gigantic gap the three had on all the rest of humanity.
“Hmm. Hey, Arthur, since there are three of us, wouldn’t the formation be strengthened if we did this?” Merlin commented.
“… Also, we can replace the barrier persistence process with my materialization. Output will increase by more than 20% if we do that,” Cruze added.
“Ah! Rather than that, let’s do it this way. There seems to be no civilization limitation here, so if we utilize my flying shuttle for evasion and defense, the output will increase by an additional 50%…” Merlin continued.
Merlin and Cruze, who were the only ones able to properly understand and analyze the formation at the same level as Arthur, began to offer their opinions on reinforcing this and that aspect of the formation. Since Arthur, Merlin, and Cruze had completely different fields of expertise, there was a great synergistic effect when they put their heads together.
“Did everyone memorize everything?”
“Yes.”
“Yeah.”
“Hmm, it’s a bit difficult, but… done.”
“W-wait a minute. I’m a life force user, so I’m not a genius when it comes to this stuff.”
Adol clicked his tongue at the sight of Hanma reviewing the information and breaking out into a cold sweat.
“Dude, even if you’re not a genius and don’t fully understand this stuff, you should at least be able to memorize it, right? Anyway, Arthur seems to have already taken your stupidity into account; he only put you in roles where you need to use your body.”
“S-shut up! There’s two pages of instructions!”
“What? I knew it wasn’t much, but it’s only two pages for you? Wow, Arthur really reduced what you need to memorize.”
There was a lot of fuss, but in the end, all the Masters learned their role in the Emperor’s Submission formation. In the past, it had taken a considerable amount of time for the Masters to master the perfected team formations provided by DIO, such as Smashing Vajra Formation and the 108 Shaolin Battle Formation, so the Emperor’s Submission formation, which was considerably easier to perform with its simple structure and individual tasks, was relatively easy to digest. Moreover, what made it easier was that Merlin, Arthur, and Cruze were handling all of the formation’s main axis movements and activation actions.
“Come out, Vimana.”
Ting!
A golden magic circle rose in the air and started spinning. It was a common visual phenomenon that occurred whenever users logged in or when monsters were regenerated, but the difference between those golden magic circles and this one was the scale.
“… What the hell is that?”
“A flying shuttle?”
A huge golden orb exploded, revealing a sleek flying shuttle within. Basically, Merlin’s Vimana, which resembled a flat surfboard, boasted a stylish design in which gold and red colors were exquisitely mixed, but even so, it did not stand out much compared to other users’ flying shuttles, which had all kinds of bizarre shapes protruding out from them.
However, the size was the biggest difference.
“Man, that thing is huge.”
When Vimana, with a total length of 1.5 kilometers and a height of 250 meters, appeared above their heads, it exuded a sense of colossal intimidation, as if the sky was completely filled.
No flying shuttle in existence was as massive as Vimana. Even Bruce’s Atlantis, which gave up all other functions except for flying so that Bruce could monetize his flying shuttle as Aeon Airlines, shuttling users from one place to another, was only 300 meters long.
“I knew that, compared to Arthur who manifests every day, Merlin was saving some of his gem points, but I never imagined that he’d make such a monstrous flying shuttle.”
“… That thing is amazing. It’s just not big… it’s also surrounded by a magic stealth barrier, so it’s impossible to detect.”
The users were not the only ones surprised by the appearance of Vimana. Even the Blue Dragon, Lionel, the largest among the four dragons, was only about 300 meters tall, so there was no way Vimana wouldn’t catch his attention, even from a distance.
‘Wait… that… that thing contains more advanced technology than what is provided to users… Did he design it himself?’
‘Irregular this Irregular that… I guess all that talk about Irregulars wasn’t just hot air. I’ll have to ask Tan to show me the blueprints for that thing. I’m sure I’ll learn something after reviewing the blueprints.’
‘Woah, how cool is that?’
‘Finally, the users pulled out an item that might be useful in this battle.’
All four dragons were interested in Vimana, but their passing thoughts did not last long. In the first place, the Emperor of Martial Art, Regrants, wasn’t the type of opponent who would allow his opponent any time to think of other things.
Rip!
With a loud noise, Leighann’s golden wings were torn apart. Regardless of the dozens of layers of defensive magic barriers that surrounded Leighann’s wings, Regrant’s attack lightly crossed through air and passed Leighann by without any resistance. This simple yet terrifyingly destructive attack made Leighann, a great mage, feel a deep sense of fear.
“Ugh! Space Leap! Is it an ultimate-level sword strike?”
“Since I launched it with my hands, it’s probably more appropriate to call it an ultimate-level hand skill… wait a minute. Since it was sent out in the form of a sword’s blade, I guess it would be more accurate to call it an ultimate-level sword strike…”
“But I blocked all possible coordinates!”
“Dummy. I already launched a few attacks against your protective barrier, so of course I figured something out… woah!”
At that moment, a huge sword, which was made of light, penetrated the space where Regrants was floating. It was a materialization-type attack of the White Divine Celestial Dragon, Thousand Scent’s Momentary Brilliance.
Whoosh!
And a great darkness soon descended upon Regrants. Unlike Thousand Scent’s extremely compressed materialization-type attack, Adalcha’s darkness attack seemed to plunge the entire world into darkness. However, Regrants just smiled and walked across the air.
Poof.
Regrants teleported through space and escaped the light and darkness attack. Not only had he already risen to a level where he could control all 12 different attribute power areas, but he could even interfere to some extent in the realm of absolute attributes, that is, attributes such as time, space, and nothingness. He possessed powers beyond that of a mid-level god, so he was capable of controlling his own time, crossing space, and destroying or even creating objects.
Bam!
“Kyak!”
Thousand Scents, who had been hit in the head by Regrants’ punch, staggered in the air and barely managed to keep her balance. Though he could have landed several follow up attacks, Regrants seemed dissatisfied with something. He soon yelled out.
“Ah, your body is hundreds of meters long, but the sound of your scream is so cute! You’re making me feel like I’m bullying you!”
“W-what? Are you belittling us!”
“It’s not that… you can say that I always look at things in a positive, light way.”
Flashes of light and darkness stirred the space, and soon, strong qi was heading straight towards an ultimate-level magic attack.
The attacks were strong enough to shake the planet and warp the dimension, but Regrants dealt with his enemies so easily that it was unbelievable to see.
“Nonsense. Isn’t this weird? There shouldn’t be such an overwhelming difference between us and him.”
“Even though he’s called the Emperor of Martial Arts, how can he so easily go up against the four of us… we’re fully armed while he’s just using his bare body, no?”
As the era of the modern universe took shape and the Union was formed, the strongest forces amongst the many giant forces became the transcendents themselves, not giant creations or high-tech weapons. Hence, the strength of a side’s forces was determined by the number of transcendents that were present.
However, a transcendent being who was not [perfected] couldn’t output absolute power. This was why the high-tech weapons belonging to the 4th Stage of Civilization possessed enough power to kill transcendent beings, and even the weapons of the 3rd Stage of Civilization could be used to drive some transcendent beings to their death.
However, just as Earth’s humans became the lords of all creation through the use of tools, transcendents also became stronger through the use of weapons. However, it took an astronomical amount of money and manpower to produce a weapon that could enhance the combat power of transcendents. Such a weapon was called a Transcendent Weapon, and if a transcendent being was equipped with such a weapon, he or she would be able to go up against tens of other transcendents who were at the same level.

“So, uhm… you can think of it as a more advanced process of changing the attribute of something to fire or lightning… Merlin and Cruze, you two can do something similar… right?”
Merlin sighed as he saw the pleading look on Arthur’s face.
“I can do a property change into aura power and pure spiritual power, to a certain extent. I can create an aura-powered materialization as well…” Merlin commented.
“Aura power materialization…”
Lancelot, who was recovering after having his wounds healed, stiffened as if he had been struck by lightning. Although he was a Level 12 aura power user, he still didn’t possess an attribute affinity, nor did he know how to conduct materialization. But Merlin, who wasn’t even an aura power user…

I'm sure I'll learn something after reviewing the blueprints.'Woah, how cool is that?'Finally, the users pulled out an item that might be useful in this battle.'All four dragons were interested in Vimana, but their passing thoughts did not last long. In the first place, the Emperor of Martial Art, Regrants, wasn't the type of opponent who would allow his opponent any time to think of other things.Rip!With a loud noise, Leighann's golden wings were torn apart. Regardless of the dozens of layers of defensive magic barriers that surrounded Leighann's wings, Regrant's attack lightly crossed through air and passed Leighann by without any resistance. This simple yet terrifyingly destructive attack made Leighann, a great mage, feel a deep sense of fear.Ugh! Space Leap! Is it an ultimate-level sword strike?Since I launched it with my hands, it's probably more appropriate to call it an ultimate-level hand skill wait a minute. Since it was sent out in the form of a sword's blade, I guess it would be more accurate to call it an ultimate-level sword strikeBut I blocked all possible coordinates!Dummy. I already launched a few attacks against your protective barrier, so of course I figured something out woah!At that moment, a huge sword, which was made of light, penetrated the space where Regrants was floating. It was a materialization-type attack of the White Divine Celestial Dragon, Thousand Scent's Momentary Brilliance.Whoosh!And a great darkness soon descended upon Regrants. Unlike Thousand Scent's extremely compressed materialization-type attack, Adalcha's darkness attack seemed to plunge the entire world into darkness. However, Regrants just smiled and walked across the air.Poof.Regrants teleported through space and escaped the light and darkness attack. Not only had he already risen to a level where he could control all 12 different attribute power areas, but he could even interfere to some extent in the realm of absolute attributes, that is, attributes such as time, space, and nothingness. He possessed powers beyond that of a mid-level god, so he was capable of controlling his own time, crossing space, and destroying or even creating objects.Bam!Kyak!Thousand Scents, who had been hit in the head by Regrants' punch, staggered in the air and barely managed to keep her balance. Though he could have landed several follow up attacks, Regrants seemed dissatisfied with something. He soon yelled out.Ah, your body is hundreds of meters long, but the sound of your scream is so cute! You're making me feel like I'm bullying you!W-what? Are you belittling us!It's not that you can say that I always look at things in a positive, light way.Flashes of light and darkness stirred the space, and soon, strong qi was heading straight towards an ultimate-level magic attack.The attacks were strong enough to shake the planet and warp the dimension, but Regrants dealt with his enemies so easily that it was unbelievable to see.Nonsense. Isn't this weird? There shouldn't be such an overwhelming difference between us and him.Even though he's called the Emperor of Martial Arts, how can he so easily go up against the four of us we're fully armed while he's just using his bare body, no?As the era of the modern universe took shape and the Union was formed, the strongest forces amongst the many giant forces became the transcendents themselves, not giant creations or high-tech weapons. Hence, the strength of a side's forces was determined by the number of transcendents that were present.However, a transcendent being who was not perfected couldn't output absolute power. This was why the high-tech weapons belonging to the 4th Stage of Civilization possessed enough power to kill transcendent beings, and even the weapons of the 3rd Stage of Civilization could be used to drive some transcendent beings to their death.However, just as Earth's humans became the lords of all creation through the use of tools, transcendents also became stronger through the use of weapons. However, it took an astronomical amount of money and manpower to produce a weapon that could enhance the combat power of transcendents. Such a weapon was called a Transcendent Weapon, and if a transcendent being was equipped with such a weapon, he or she would be able to go up against tens of other transcendents who were at the same level.
