Chapter 778 - Forcing the Door Open (1/2)

After he finished speaking, the atmosphere was a bit stiff.

After all, his murderous aura was too heavy just now. Then, Ma Huajun took the initiative to ease the atmosphere. “But based on your performance in the game, I guess you’re also someone who will not be interested in the evil Divine Sparks.”

Roland smiled impassively. No one would feel comfortable after being threatened out of the blue.

This was still the case even if he’d been allowed to become super-powered.

Seeing this, Ma Huajun continued, “Now that you want to go further, the floating city is one factor, and purifying your soul is another factor.”

The other man was clearly showing goodwill, and Roland wasn’t all that angry, so he backed down and asked, “So, what’s your reason for going out of your way to destroy me and Schuck’s dreams and make us superhumans, and why did you throw people into that world?”

“Drill troops.”

“Drill troops?” Roland looked stunned, then his expression became serious. “Who is our enemy?”

Roland couldn’t imagine what kind of enemy required the mass production of superhumans to be able to fight them.

“With your current growth rate, you will soon find out.”

After Ma Huajun said this, he sank into the ground and disappeared.

The cement ground still showed no signs of disturbance, and this burrowing was honestly not much worse than Teleportation when used to escape.

Roland froze in place, contemplating.

Although the two talked for a short time, Ma Huajun still revealed a lot of information.

Trying to extrapolate could yield uncertain, frustrating information.

Just as Roland was lost in thought, a few security personnel suddenly came running up behind him. They were all relieved to see Roland.

“What’s wrong?” Roland turned around and couldn’t help but speak up when he saw them looking tense. “The cameras here were all blurred,” the leading security officer said, somewhat alarmed. “And as you were walking here at that time, we were really afraid that something had happened to you.” Roland smiled. “I tested a spell just now, and it might have been affected by this.”

Since Ma Huajun blurred the cameras when he came out, it was clear that he did not want other people to know that he had been here, so Roland naturally helped cover it up.

The security personnel finally put their minds completely at ease.

Roland then returned to his quarters and entered the virtual cabin to play.

On the next day, he returned to the western base in a special car.

When they saw him return, the researchers, led by Su Minluo, all sighed in relief.

Su Minluo even smiled, which she rarely did. “Director, you’re finally back. I thought you were over there having too much fun and forgot about us.” “It’s not like they’re going to arrange for pretty girls and singing and dancing for me over there, so how can I possibly be having too much fun.”

The crowd all burst out laughing in unison.

With Roland back, the researchers were very content as their previous research could resume.

Oftentimes, whether the research was productive or not didn’t mean much, but it was important to have research projects to do so one wouldn’t be so bored.

The researchers who made it to this base were the elite, all with a curious heart for all things in the world.

Roland continued on with a balanced and disciplined life of research.

Meanwhile, in the game, he rebuilt the “food” virtual Divine Spark.

He had to build it. Not to mention whether Andonara could access the mansion space, this affected her safety when fighting the Evil Gods.

More importantly, Andonara’s cooking wasn’t as delicious without a connection to the food Divine Spark.

Roland was spoiled and no longer really wanted to eat food that tasted average if not for a specific reason.

After the virtual Divine Spark was created, Andonara could borrow Roland’s magic power. Now that she also believed in the Goddess of Magic, many spells were available to her.

It was just that she suffered from her own low reserves of magic power. After all, she was a Warrior.

But after linking to Roland’s virtual Divine Spark, she could mobilize Roland’s magic power.

It was equivalent to an external magic power pack.

Theoretically, Roland’s magic power was infinite.

So her magic power was also infinite.

The next step was to build equipment. The Evil Gods were unholy, so the magic attributes of light and life attached to equipment would surely be a bonus in lethality against them. The armor was imbued with a Magic Shield, a passive type.

Then a large number of scrolls were stored in the mansion space, so that the two could easily access them for emergencies.

The two armed themselves to the teeth.

They couldn’t fight an Evil God without this kind of seriousness.

Nia saw how the two of them looked and knew what they were planning to do.

She wanted to follow them.

But Roland shook his head. “I want you to protect Delpon. It’s hard to say how long I’ll be gone, and in case an enemy comes… I’ll have a hard time getting back quickly to save the day. So, someone I can trust has to stay here.” “Okay.” Nia patted her chest, two fat globes bouncing and bumping around like tethered balloons. “Since you believe in me so much, I’ll listen to you and stay here.”

She was an angel that was easy to coax.

But only those she trusted were good at coaxing her; she rarely spoke to strangers and appeared icy and condescending in front of them.

Preparing everything he could think of, Roland took Andonara aboard the floating city and then flew to the border between the main plane and the Astral Plane.

The two stood in the square, looking at the dark Astral Plane overhead and the stars that filled the sky, both slightly excited.

Andonara asked, “Who is the first target? What are their weaknesses?”

“The Evil God of Suffering,” Roland said after a moment’s thought. “According to the information given to me by the Goddess of Magic, this Evil God should be the easiest for the two of us to deal with when we join forces.”

“He’s weak?”

“Strong, actually. One that ranks at the top amongst the Evil Gods.” Roland smiled. “But he’s less resistant to fire magic. Keep in mind that both of us are good at playing with fire.”

“I think there is something in your words.” Andonara walked over, held Roland’s hand, and smiled charmingly. “Want to play with fire before the big battle?”

“Yes, it’s fine.” Roland thought about it and said, “But don’t let the Goddess of Magic possess you again, it’ll scare the hell out of

me.”

“Why do I feel like you are deliberately reminding me to let her possess me,” Andonara said jealously.

“No such thing,” Roland replied instantly.

In the Divine Realm of Suffering, the Evil God Nedsworth was refining the neutral Divine Spark fragment he had snatched: Whirlwind.

It was supposed to be the Goddess of Storms’ Divine Spark, but for some reason, a fragment had been left in the Astral Plane and was found and picked up by him.

Also because of this, the Goddess of Storms’ Divine Spark wasn’t complete, and her strength was middling among the Neutral Gods.

In contrast, the Water Goddess’s Divine Spark was not only complete, but also included four parts: ocean, river, rain, and ice.

However, the four Divine Sparks were incompatible with each other, resulting in a bit of a problem with her intelligence…

So she was obviously very strong, but she couldn’t completely unleash her strength.

She was sort of a disgrace and oddity amongst the Neutral Gods.

It was difficult for an Evil God to condense a Neutral Divine Spark.

But Nedsworth was not without a clue; in reality, in the hundred years or so since he got the Whirlwind Divine Spark, he had refined a third of the fragment.
