Chapter 798 - It’s Because I’m Too Strong (1/2)

When Roland created another floating city, it meant that he was almost invincible in the main plane.

The gods and goddesses were suppressed in the main plane. Even the Life Goddess didn’t dare to fight Roland here.

The only thing that he should pay attention to was the World Tree.

Since most experts of this world still remembered their dreams very well, the World Tree couldn’t be an exception.

So, Roland flew the enormous floating city to the Elf Forest.

He intended to meet the World Tree and suss out her opinion of him. After all, he was surely going to fight the Life Goddess later.

It might be quite tricky if the World Tree jumped out and took the Life Goddess’s side. The World Tree was very strong. Even more surprisingly, she was a tree, yet she could also turn into an enormous mobile action figure.

That was quite interesting.

The floating city looked like a vast island that flew in the sky. A diameter of thirty kilometers made it a terrifying monster that nobody dared to look at.

Wherever it went, the animals on the ground saw that a shadow which completely blocked the sky was on the move.

Roland couldn’t have felt better.

Although Mystra and Sophie had only arrived as clones of their divinity, they were full of divine power too.

The three of them were fused for a long time, and the hardness of Roland’s soul was further increased.

More importantly, both of them had helped Roland solidify his soul world.

They were truly worried that someone would go against Roland’s soul again.

Also, they cursed the Life Goddess again during the fusing, because they felt sorry for him.

They knew too well how painful it could be when the shell of the soul world was broken.

They also knew that blowing up the soul’s shell could be very dangerous and might have detonated the soul core, which would’ve killed Roland!

Roland was still recalling the beauty of the two goddesses when the floating city reached the sky over the capital of the elves.

The entire capital was shrouded in the shadow.

The elves were quite panicked.

There were many experts among the elves who remembered the dreams, including the floating city incident.

This floating city seemed even bigger than the one they recalled.

Roland stood at the edge of the floating city and looked down in surprise.

He saw that a large part of the World Tree had withered. It happened to be the half of the World Tree that was burned in the game.

When Roland was feeling curious, the World Tree’s consciousness rose to the same height as Roland’s eyes.

Observing Roland for a while, the World Tree asked, “Are you Roland?”

Because Roland’s face had changed, the World Tree only managed to recognize him by his soul waves.

“Yes.”

“Have you come from the dreams to seek revenge against me?” asked the World Tree. “No, I just came to check.” Roland smiled. “In the game… In the dreams, I didn’t kill you, and I certainly won’t now. I’m just here to confirm that you’re not malicious.”

The World Tree heaved a soft sigh. “I was defeated by you in my dreams, which affected the status of my real self. I’m no match for you at all… You can kill me, but I hope you can spare the elves, my children.” Roland had already been tricky enough to deal with as a Legend, and now he was a Demigod.

Besides, this floating city was clearly a battle fortress that had been carefully designed. It was even more powerful than the one in the dreams.

It would be a miracle if the World Tree won against him.

Instead of struggling futilely, she might as well admit defeat and appeal to the guy’s sympathy. After all, Roland should be a Lawful guy. Seeing that the World Tree had admitted defeat, Roland smiled. “I simply came here to check. I didn’t want to do anything to the elves.”

Then, the floating city slowly withdrew from the capital.

Roland was not scared that the World Tree would go back on her word, because he could tell that the World Tree was very weak.

Even if she were to help the Life Goddess, there wouldn’t be much she could do.

Seeing the floating city fly away, the World Tree was greatly relieved.

She shook her head. “I was wrong about him. What a shame… He’s a rarely-seen wild man. It’s a pity that we’re not meant for each other.”

Then, her subconsciousness submerged into the World Tree itself and she became dormant.

In the main plane, nobody except Roland could break a barrier that she set up.

If Roland were to deal with the elves, there wouldn’t be any use no matter how she struggled. She couldn’t make the final decision, and she couldn’t resist, so she might as well go to sleep.

She might get nervous if she worried too much.

Roland, on the other hand, flew the floating city south.

He had already sensed the spatial coordinates that he dropped at the location of Betta’s car accident.

Now that the important things had been taken care of, he certainly had to go there and have a look.

He hoped that he could find Betta’s soul… He had already asked Sophie the previous night. Betta’s soul wasn’t in the Netherworld.

It took Roland a day to reach the spatial coordinates, which turned out to be a wild forest.

However, nothing that carried enormous energy waves was in the forest except his mental coordinates.

He unleashed his mental network and searched the area. Then, he found something quite weird.

That thing had a feeble energy reaction, which wasn’t strange. A lot of little animals had similar reactions. Yet, this object was a mixture of three different kinds of energy that were incompatible. Roland was quite curious about the combination of energy. So, he flashed to the destination, only to be astounded.

He saw a woman who had a huge butt and who was pouring water into a hole that was about half a meter in diameter.

She had to be a woman, as she had blue hair and a blue dress. Judging from the details, she didn’t seem to be wearing any underwear.

An enormous stream of water flowed out of the woman’s finger while she whispered a tune happily.

From the hole, many red ants that were half a meter tall crawled out in panic, yet they dared not bite the woman and could only flee.

Roland had seen the back of the woman in the game before.

Roland coughed and asked, “Are you the Water Goddess? What are you doing here?”

“Pouring water into an ant nest,” replied the woman matter-of-factly. About three seconds later, she exclaimed and jumped to her feet. She turned around and stepped back quickly, as if she were frightened. “Wait, who are you? How did you sneak up behind me? I’m so scared.”

Roland didn’t know what he should say.

Was she really a goddess?

She was more like a naughty kid. No adults should be pouring water into an ant nest. Roland was pretty sure that the woman should be the Water Goddess. She had blue hair and looked quite beautiful, but she didn’t seem very smart, which significantly lowered her charm.

“Hello.” Roland greeted her voluntarily. “Sorry if I caught you unprepared. I’m looking for a soul. It must’ve fallen somewhere around here; I wonder if you’ve run into it.”

“A soul?” The Water Goddess quickly shook her head. “No, I just saw a strange ant egg. It was golden and quite beautiful. I was afraid that the ants couldn’t find the special kid, so I put the egg back into the hole, but the egg was too big and got stuck. So, I tried to flush it into the nest with water.”

Huh… It became increasingly clear to Roland that something was wrong with the Water Goddess’s head.

Although he didn’t think that the egg was Betta’s soul, he scoured the enormous ant nest with his mental power just to be safe.
