438 This is My Greatest Achievemen (2/2)

”Okay!”

Mordenkainen responded, pointing to both of them.

Levitation. This spell Roland also knew, but the true inventor of it was the man in front of him.

Then he pulled them both up and flew.

Flying higher and higher, Roland said urgently, ”Wait, there's a ceiling up there, don't rush up.”

Roland had explored before and found there was an invisible layer of mud on top, so thick that his mental power couldn't penetrate it.

But Mordenkainen just laughed and flew faster anyway.

Roland couldn't help but close his eyes.

He sensed an impending aviation accident.

And then something dumbfounding happened.

The sky twisted, and then an unimaginably huge layer of mud and rock appeared in front of Roland.

When this rock formation appeared, the entire city was shrouded in shadow, and the sky and sun seen before were replaced by the rock formation in front of them.

Roland's entire view was blocked, and no matter if he looked left or right, he couldn't see the end of this rock formation at all.

This place wasn't underground. It turned out to be underneath a huge, terrifying floating city.

Roland felt as though he had mistaken the part for the whole.

Then Mordenkainen pulled them to a depression where there was a magic streak of light, and as Mordenkainen approached, a magic stone door opened and the three of them flew into it, then went through a long tunnel to finally reach the exit.

Mordenkainen pulled on the two and landed on a flat blue surface.

Roland looked around and found that the platform was huge, bigger than the city below, almost impossible to see in its entirety, and not far away, there were four majestic giant buildings, lined up in a crescent shape, looking like four small mountains from afar.

The huge flat plaza was paved with blue bricks, each of which was the same size and shimmered with magic.

Roland squatted down and touched themt. He was surprised to find that these bricks were all high-quality magic energy; in simpler words, they were all magic blocks that were deliberately made into this shape.

”You see what it is?”

Roland nodded.

”These are all the result of my magic power coalescing.” Mordenkainen opened his hands, spun around, and laughed. ”I extracted some of my magic power every day, made it into bricks, and built it up over time, and then eventually built this great floating city. Standing in this city, I dare to fight even gods, and in the main plane, I never feared anyone again.”

Roland was speechless.

This floating city's surface area was already at the level of a medium-sized city.

And every piece of brick here was Mordenkainen's spare magic power—it could almost be described as an endless source of magic power at his disposal.

As long as he didn't leave this floating city, Mordenkainen was virtually invincible.

At this moment, Lamia began to run to the middle of the square, with Mordenkainen slowly following.

Soon Lamia stopped. There were a few special bricks in front of her.

All the other bricks were blue, but this brick was pure white.

Lamia leaned down and pressed her hand to the white brick, and not much later, the white brick flipped and changed, eventually forming something like an altar.

Finally, there was a magic projection on top.

A blue circle and guideposts—it seemed to be a three-dimensional map.

Lamia put her hands inside and moved a few times, and the entire floating city emitted a faint humming sound. Violent magical currents appeared in the sky, forming countless white vortexes.

The sky was distorting; everything outside the floating city was distorting.

Roland could sense that the floating city was teleporting.

The sky twisted into mush and ended up white.

Then the light around them began to dim and eventually became night-like.

The distortion of space gradually stopped, and not long after, Roland found that the background of the world outside the floating city had turned pure black.

The darkness was sprinkled with many faintly glowing objects.

Some were especially large, some were especially small, and they varied in color.

At some point, a transparent boundary appeared over the floating city, and from time to time, strange things would hit the transparent boundary and then bounce off.

There were some hideous insects that looked like armored black maggots with a mouthful of sharp teeth, but they couldn't gnaw through the boundary.

There were also many stones floating randomly in space, and a cloud of… round, square, or irregularly shaped fragments that recorded certain images!

Many strange sounds rang out outside the floating city from time to time. Roland couldn't imagine what kind of sounds they were—they were quite unsettling.

Roland also saw that most of these fragments were intermingled with people's silhouettes, but they didn't look real.

This space was strange, weird, irrational, and yet… interesting.

Roland looked around blankly. ”What is this place?”

He already had a guess, but still wanted an answer from Mordenkainen.

”The astral plane, Realm of Gods, and the Void… are all here.” Mordenkainen pointed to the bright white sphere the size of a basketball in the distance. ”See that thing there! That is the Goddess of Light's divine kingdom. It looks close, but in reality… the distance is actually infinite, and it's almost impossible to fly there without acquiring the Divine Spark. What you see here isn't really the goddess's kingdom, it's just a projection sent from a distant world.”

”The green sphere is the Paradise of Life, a little larger than the Divine Realm of Light.” Lamia leaned in and said with a smile, ”The purple one is the Goddess of Elves' divine realm, isn't it much smaller? It's about the size of an apple. The more powerful the God is, the bigger and brighter the symbol projected on the astral plane.”

”What are those red ones?” Roland pointed to the distant, red-spotted starts that twinkled once or twice now and then.

”Evil deities,” said Mordenkainen indifferently.
