Chapter 757 You’re Lucky
Roland’s floating city stayed where it was for about half an hour, before it gradually rose back into the clouds.
Feelings were always subjective.
For example, the World Tree thought that she had a 60% chance to beat Roland even though he had a floating city. Roland, on the other hand, thought that he could 100% kill the World Tree with one tritium bomb.
Andonara, evil gods, the Demon Gods, and other experts could quickly escape from the dreadful heat and radiations from the center of the explosion by moving fast.
When in a perfect environment, a nuclear explosion couldn’t kill them.
However, it wasn’t the case for the World Tree.
The World Tree was too big!
She was essentially an inferior version of a floating city.
She was also a source of enormous magic power. She was even alive. However, her greatest shortcoming was her immobility.
The floating city was much more awesome in comparison.
Although it was very large, its speed wasn’t low at all.
A high mobility meant a wider range of tactics. Both fight and flight were options.
It didn’t have to stay in one place and endure attacks.
More importantly… 99.9% of the mass of the floating city could be abandoned, as long as the Magic Grid Core was retained.
Even if the floating city was hit by a forbidden spell and all its rocks shattered, it would be fine.
More mud and stone could always be added to the city.
It was simple and straightforward like that.
Returning to the clouds, Roland was about to fly the floating city to the capital of Fareins to fetch the craftsmen for the projects in the floating city.
However, in the middle of the flight, an attraction force that was aimed at him came from on high.
It carried the divinity that he was quite familiar with.
Earlier, he would’ve been dragged to the paradise by the force easily, but his mental power and resistance were significantly improved by the floating city. Therefore, he sensed the pull and nothing happened.
“You… Drop your protection and come up here.”
The familiar, cute voice echoed in Roland’s head.
Roland heaved a sigh and temporarily unlinked himself from the floating city.
Several seconds later, his soul appeared in the paradise of magic.
Mystra, the Goddess of Magic, sat not far away in front of the floating city, a round table before her.
There were two cups of pink wine on the table.
The Goddess of Magic smiled at Roland and pointed at a chair near the table.
Their meetings had already become routine. Roland sat down on the chair and asked, “Goddess of Magic, is there anything I can help you with?”
“I prefer that you call me Mystra.” The Goddess of Magic chuckled and then asked, “How does it feel to provoke the gods?”
Her tone was casual, but the sincere smile on her face suggested that she was quite happy to see that.
Roland replied with a smile, “Exhilarating!”
“Will Elyse and I be provoked by you someday?”
Roland shook his head. “Of course not. We’re friends.”
After hearing Roland’s answer, Mystra’s smile became brighter. She was clearly satisfied.
She gently waved her hand, and the environment changed.
It became the Astral Plane, where bizarre bugs slithered everywhere.
However, Roland knew that it was just an illusion… or a projection, because he didn’t feel the mental or magic power of those bugs.
The larger a bug was in the Astral Plane, the more magic power it would carry.
Roland looked at the Goddess of Magic curiously, wondering why she showed him an image of the Astral Plane.
If he wanted to see that, he could totally enter Mystra’s Mansion or fly the floating city into the Astral Plane, which was pretty easy.
Noticing Roland’s confusion, Mystra laid her finger on her bright, glowing lips and said, “Just wait and watch.”
After a moment, something finally shifted in the Astral Plane apart from the flying bugs.
A dark spot appeared at a distance in the Astral Plane at first. Then, countless streams of light, mixed with bright explosions, were striking around the black spot.
Who was fighting there?
Roland watched attentively.
A moment later, the dark spot was closer and became clearer.
It was an enormous floating city.
Also, Roland was quite familiar with the floating city. It belonged to Mordenkainen.
Roland subconsciously looked at Mystra, who was sipping her cup of wine gracefully.
Roland turned his head and continued watching the battle. As the floating city grew bigger and bigger, Roland vividly saw that it was a group of gods and goddesses who were attacking the floating city.
In particular, he saw Mystra, the Life Goddess, and the Nether God among them.
He also saw a goddess whose body emanated golden light. He guessed that she was the Goddess of Light.
Apart from the Four Lawful Goddesses, he saw the blue-haired goddess who wore a short skirt, the elven goddess who had long hair, the Storm Goddess who also wore a short skirt, and many others.
Surrounded by all the gods and goddesses, the floating city was already collapsing.
“Is this the footage from when you attacked Mordenkainen?” Roland asked Mystra.
“Yes.”
“Why did you attack him?” asked Roland.
“Because of the inappropriate things he said.”
Hmm? Roland was rather confused.
“Mordenkainen was smart and talented. He might have even been able to compete with me for the divinity as the God of Magic.”
Roland raised his eyebrows.
“But that wasn’t why we dealt with him,” said Mystra helplessly. “He was just too cocky.”
Roland was rather curious. “What do you mean by ‘cocky’?”
“We didn’t care when he attacked the evil gods and annoyed the Demon Gods. We were even happy to see that,” said Mystra. “But he kept saying that he wanted to have intercourse with goddesses.”
