“No, stop—!”
Celine screamed in shock!
Once the magic power’s circulation was stopped, the Deity of Gods would become a dead mountain incapable of flight!
“This is my ability,” Nassaupelle replied indifferently. “Although my body isn’t here, I am able to control the magic power core through the network from a distance. It did not exist in the beginning, but a construct that I worked on piece by piece after gaining the legacy. It does not require the support of talent, and will not vary from person to person. Although this network isn’t comparable to the Realm of Mind now, but what about a century or a millennium later? You have to understand that I, having broken free of the shackles of a body, no longer lack time.”
“Rumble…”
When the cores came to a stop, the interior of the Deity of Gods started trembling.
The soldiers garrisoned at the plaza stumbled along with the trembles and many were caught off guard and fell directly to the ground.
“The Deity of Gods is dropping from a high altitude!” Silent Disaster said solemnly.
“Damn it, what’s going on?” Hackzord turned and roared at Celine. “Hey, Witch! Answer me!”
“Mask is interfering with the core instrument, we need to break his connection!”
Celine shouted multiple times but realized that the other party was unable to ‘hear’ her consciousness. She was able to sense the changes in the outside world, but had lost the ability to communicate with them, as though a transparent glass wall had isolated her from them.
“Your spirit is within the parent body and the carrier body outside is just an empty shell now, how can they possibly hear your warnings?” Mask said with glee. “And why do you think that it will be easy to break my connection… In my race, the position this parent body holds is similar to that of the King and the senior lords. Not only is its magic power on par with them, its body is equally as strong. Not to mention the thick Red Mist above it. It will not be easy to try and kill it. And without the spirit of the parent body, how will you control the core instrument? That is why the outcome cannot be changed.”
“There are millions of lives still in the city, are you planning to bury them as well?”
“I don’t understand how a Witch from the Union is actually feeling sympathy for demons.” Nassaupelle ridiculed. “Regardless, they have chosen to side with that traitor, Hackzord, so they deserve death. As for the Symbiotic Demons, although it is a waste for them to be killed alongside the Deity of Gods, I just need to spend a bit of time to produce more of them. If you are thinking of ways to make me change my mind, you best have a reason that is far more convincing than that. There isn’t much time left for those lowlifes outside.”
This monster… how did he know that I’m from the Union? Celine was completely shocked, but she did not have the luxury of time to ponder about the minor details. “This is a God’s Stone mine! If the floating island falls to the ground and crashes, Hermes and Graycastle’s Western borders will be affected, are you sure that the King will not punish you for your actions?”
“Sky Lord actually went into so much detail…” Nassaupelle appeared not in the least bit concerned. “But the priority for destroying humans is higher; the King will definitely understand my plight. Since there are traitors amongst the senior lords, it is impossible not to pay a small price.”
“A small price? The God’s Stone mine is fundamental for the Red Mist towers! Without sufficient Red Mist, you are incapable of establishing a foothold on the Fertile Plains, how are you going to fight against the incoming Sky-sea Realm?”
“This reason is far more substantial than your previous one.” Mask did not confirm or deny anything. “But you have overlooked two things. Firstly, the Symbiotic Demons’ demand for Red Mist is far less than Primal and Junior Demons. And even if we are short in supply, they will not harbor any complains. Secondly, I have confidence in you humans…”
“Confidence… what do you mean?” Celine gritted her teeth and asked.
“I underestimated Ursrook’s capability previously. Humans might be slow in the development of magic power, but they have astonishing achievements in other aspects. I have complete confidence that if I obtain your legacy and merge it with my techniques, dealing with Sky-sea Realm will not be a difficult task. In other words, even without the two God’s Stone mine, I can still win the Battle of Divine Will.”
“…” Celine realized that the demon would not change his mind regardless of what she said. He had been toying with her right from the beginning.
Just like how a hunter toyed with his prey.
Sensing that she could no longer send any messages out, Celine decided to rely on herself to stop the disaster!
“See, you no longer have time.” Nassaupelle gazed into the distance. Once the magic power supporting the Deity of Gods completely disappeared, the slow descent would gradually turn into a true fall. In that situation, even the soldiers would no longer be able to stand and could only attempt to stay fixed on the ground by laying prone. “It is said that when a large mass falls, the living things standing on it will fly along with it. I wonder if I will be able to witness such a scene?”
How can I reactivate the core?
Celine forced herself to focus, knowing that Mask was not on the Deity of Gods and was only connected through the ‘network’. If I can expel him from it, I can restore the magic power core back to normal!
