1282 Assaulting Alchemy City Part 1 (1/2)

Let Myers go. It was a weird thought that never occurred to Saleen before. He quickly suppressed it. If the Goddess of Myers had been friendly and amicable, where the hell did all these magic nuclei came from then?

And oh, dragon crystals. Are there any dragons who would willingly give up their dragon crystals? And their flesh and scales?

They were all victims of the Goddess of Myers. Hell, what is going on with me? Am I under the influence of the goddess' divine arts.

Heh, you chose to become a god, Myers, and that was probably the reason why the powers all over Myers Mainland fell. That alone would easily maintain my thoughts about you.

Saleen came to a conclusion—he would kill the Goddess of Myers as soon as she was resurrected.

It was the terms of his contract that compelled him to resurrect the goddess and killing her would prevent Myers Mainland from becoming good-for-nothing land again.

If the powers of the plane dwindled further, it would eventually be reduced to an interdimensional space, becoming as huge as the one he was standing on at that very moment.

If the goddess had not protected the interdimensional space with her divine powers, that place would crumble, or perhaps be absorbed by other planes. Either way, it would disappear.

It was possible for Saleen to move his entire family away and live in the interdimensional space that Raphael found. However, trillions all over Myers Mainland would perish.

Mages were not kind people, but they clung to one principle—balance. Mages could raid a plane, but they would ensure the plane's continued survival. Only the gods would obliterate an entire plane.

Planes that were wrecked by powerful humans the most were divine kingdoms of the gods. Humans never destroyed any single common plane in history.

The propagation of humans could only continue by having more and more planes around. Humans were different from gods. Gods inherently possessed very long lives, while humans needed to continue procreating in order to survive as a species.

Jason did not teach Saleen that many things, but the elder mage made him a pure mage. Saleen was incapable of dooming an entire plane, so he did not like the Goddess of Myers much.

Mages and gods were destined to become mortal enemies.

Saleen made Nailisi summon demons and had them tear the hall apart after they picked the storage left behind by Myers clean. Saleen tore the palace apart The lightning puppets intricately dismantled the thin pillars under Saleen's careful control, leaving them unharmed

Saleen intended to keep every single material as it was. Buildings would make a good living space for himself when assembled on the Floating City. As for other surrounding buildings, he had the demons tear them down quickly.

The place would serve well as a warehouse, and he would be able to build an alchemy factory there. The interdimensional space was unusually sturdy and, best of all, connected to Myers Mainland, making it both convenient and safe.

Saleen cleaned up all of the plants in the interdimensional space. Most of the fauna was herbs. After Saleen was done collecting the seeds, he had no intentions of letting the plants survive. All of the seeds would be moved to Raphael's interdimensional space to enrich the resources there.

Saleen intended to make an underwater alchemy factory out of the small interdimensional space. Elements would always balance and cost for conducting magical experiments would be low.

Nailisi brought a lot of seeds with her. She wanted to plant some demon plane plants on the interdimensional space. The place had a yellow sun, making it suitable for demon plane fauna to grow there.

Saleen and Nailisi prepared to leave after settling their business there.

The trip's reward had been surprising. No one got in their way or messed up their plans. There were no trials, just pure gifting. Even the cuttlefish was chased away with just one shout.

However, Saleen had no idea that the original guard had not actually been a cuttlefish, but a level 16 magic beast. The power across Myers Mainland had gotten too weak, so it had entered an isolated space to hibernate, leaving behind the cuttlefish to guard the place in its stead.

While the cuttlefish was very capable in combat, it had no guts. The cuttlefish was deceptively smart. It had no intention of guarding the place for the goddess after seeing Saleen and Nailisi around. Nailisi behaved in a hostile way, and her weapon was clouded in a terrifying aura. The cuttlefish knew that if it fought, one thrust from that monster would kill it.

After making such judgments, that cuttlefish threw its pride away and ran.

It was imperative for it to remain alive, as its lifespan would reach tens of thousands of years. If it were lucky, its life force would be double. Guarding the goddess' treasure had been the job of its predecessor, and it had nothing to do with it.

There was nothing in the hole worth protecting since the goddess was already dead.

While the cuttlefish was smart, it had little grasp of the meaning and value of the wealth left for humans. It had no way of leaving the sea, so all of its knowledge was limited to that of the sea.

It was due to the goddess' miscalculations that Saleen was able to obtain the wealth within. She had intended for the beast to guard the space. However, the magic beast was tempted by its prey and was left stranded outside with no way of returning.
