Chapter 753 - We’d Like You to Stay Out of It. (1/2)

Chapter 753 We’d Like You to Stay Out of It.

The royal palace was in the shadow of the floating city.

Everyone looked overhead at the huge island in the sky, like a helpless little sparrow in the cold wind-except Queen Stephanie, who had a smile on her lips.

There was a man emitting a warm green glow slowly descending.

The immense mental pressure he exuded made everyone afraid to look directly at him.

Except for Stephanie, who tilted her head, her eyes unblinking as she watched the figure descend.

Several Mages who had rushed over to protect the queen and stayed aside and even lowered their heads.

Not just the palace, but the floating city obscured about three-quarters of the entire area above the capital Fareins, leaving about a quarter that belonged to the Holy Realm.

Both the Pope and the new Holy Lady floated up, and they looked up at the behemoth in the sky from afar, their faces both quite irritated.

The new Holy Lady clenched her fist tightly for a while before she said fiercely, “What kind of person dares to drive this thing over our Holy Realm. He’s insulting our Holy Realm.”

“He didn’t drive it right above us.” Although the young new pope was also extremely angry in his heart, men were generally a little more rational than women. He said with a composed look, “That’s already showing us respect.”

The new Holy Lady turned her head to look at the Pope. “Can’t we do anything about him? Can’t we bring down this thing with twelve Saint Samurai, along with over a hundred cardinals?”

“Be careful what you say!” The Pope sighed inwardly as he turned his head to look at the new Holy Lady.

The new Holy Lady’s expression was a little dark and even a little twisted at this time.

Compared with the previous Holy Lady, she was much less cultured.

It was a pity that the previous Holy Lady fought over a man with the goddess.

The new Holy Lady frowned and said, “Pope, we should not appear so weak. Anyone who dares to offend us and insult us should be brought down and made to repent before the statue of the Goddess.”

The Pope shook his head. “Here I will quote what the Saint Samurai and Holy Son Schuck used to say often: extreme rigidity breaks easily, but softness can last a long time.”

Hearing that it was Schuck’s words, the new Holy Lady’s expression eased. “Oh, that seems to make a lot of sense.”

Seeing the new Holy Lady’s expression suddenly change to a gentle one, the Pope suddenly had a bad feeling, and his cheeks twitched subconsciously.

No way.

No way!

Again? The Pope forced himself to quiet his mind as he looked at the massive body of rock. “No matter if Schuck has a point or not, this floating city in front of us is not something that the Holy Realm can deal with right now.” “Why? Is the floating city so strong? It’s just a boulder floating in the sky, right? Just knock it down.”

The new Pope chuckled softly. “The ultimate dream and expectation of the Mages, also known as the Mage’s earthly divine realm… As long as someone can build the floating city, he is the master of all Mages in the world. He only needs to give a command, and all Mages are willing to stay in the floating city and become his supporters.”

“Which means that by going up against this thing, we’re actually going up against the entire Mage community?” “Yes.” The pope smiled bitterly, helplessly. “Besides, any Mage who builds the floating city has the strength to slay the gods. It’s good enough that he hasn’t messed with us now, so let’s just keep a low profile and not draw his attention. Besides, let me reiterate… he’s already given us quite a bit of respect by not parking the floating city above the Holy Realm.”

The new Holy Lady was silent.

Although she didn’t have much common sense, she understood what slaying gods meant.

Compared to the Holy Realm’s calm and silence, the Association of Mages was acting quite wild.

A large number of Mages flew up, wanting to go up to the floating city to see what was going on and who had built this thing.

However, before they could fly close to the floating city, the tidal wave of magic caused by the huge amount of magic elements made it impossible for them to control the magic elements very well.

The closer they got, the more they were affected.

In the end, they were forced to land as they couldn’t control their flight.

This was the reason why the floating city wouldn’t be affected or attacked randomly; it was a huge source of magic in itself.

They couldn’t go up there. Their ultimate ideal was right in front of them and they couldn’t touch it.

Many of the Mages fell to their knees, teary-eyed.

Crying miserably.

Compared to all the citizens in the capital of Fareins who were trembling and worried about boulders coming down from the air, but still somewhat calm, the players were the ones who blew up.

All of them now had three messages marked in red in their system interface.

“Player Roland created law-level magic device: Magic Grid Core.”

“Player Roland, created a special giant epic-level building: Floating City.” “Player Roland temporarily entered the Demigod state. Received the special title ‘Ascent To God as Mortal.”

Unlike the poor attributes attached to Legendary titles, the title “Ascent to God as Mortal” was much more thrilling.

Ascent To God as Mortal: All basic attributes are increased by an additional 2 points, two slots of available specialty are added, and the user also exudes special mental intimidation on all creatures below Demigod (players are less affected).

Because players were born with the system’s mental resistance, they were immune to most mental-type effects.

However, this world didn’t only have players.

Besides, other than the mental intimidation, both the two-point increase in base attributes and the two slots of specialty were extremely useful traits.

For Roland, this was a huge gain. The players weren’t sure what attributes the title brought. They were just stunned.

“Please, what does a law-level magic device look like and what is the name labeled with? Epic-level is gold and law-level is dark gold?”.

“Dark red.”

“Has the one upstairs ever seen a law-level item?”

“No, I guessed.” “The name floating city implies it all. Isn’t it a floating thing in the sky, probably just a floating ship, similar to a luxury cruise ship? But what use is this Magic Grid Core?”

“Don’t guess, in the spam section of the forum, someone is live. You guys go check it out and you’ll know what the floating city is.”

With this reply, the comments were immediately suspended.

Everyone was flocking to that livestream like crazy.

Then they saw a huge island floating in the air.

Every player and netizen who came in and saw this scene would first drop open their mouths and frantically hold their breath for a long time until their lungs felt insanely oxygen-deprived.

Then came the desperate gasping for air.

The players had kind of seen it all.

The steel beast sailing on the sea was just a giant cruise ship that could load thousands of people with no problem.

The giant falcon flying in the air was just a giant transport plane.

And then?

They’d seen a lot of tall buildings.

In the information age, there was nothing that they could marvel at anymore.

However, the floating city reflected in their eyes still shocked them.

From a distance, the black, aerial body of rock looked so huge, even from miles away, that the entire screen couldn’t “fit” it completely.

The lower part of the rock was visible, but the upper part was hidden by clouds, indistinctly visible.
