1431 Advent Part 2 (1/2)
Saleen looked up with his Eye of Souls and saw the Floating City crash down. It was huge and despite being suspended only a little more than 3,000 meters up, falling would kill everyone due to sheer weight.
The weapon spirit of the Floating City—the God of Magic Net—did its best to bring the Floating City up, but it was unable to prevent the huge city from falling.
The crack on the Floating City was over 200 meters long. Saleen saw the little girl that he had spared in the huge crack. She was covered with white holy prose, which caused the crack.
The terrifying power shook Saleen to the core. The Floating City was made of the strongest materials on their plane, especially the bone crystals of the giant. They were extremely hard to come by even during ancient times.
The only problem was that he had not crafted the Floating City personally, and it was structurally incomplete. There were enough cracks and crevices between the materials that could be easily broken by powerful forces.
If it had been a Sky City, not even the advent of the Lord of Glory would be able to dent it.
That Floating City was only a part of the Sky City. It was thanks to the Genesis Stock Solution, the mechanical core of the Sky City, and help from the God of Magic Net that it was being crafted as it was.
The crack in the center of the Floating City made it difficult for many magic arrays to operate, which was why it came crashing down. However, the crack's size was an optical illusion. It was a result of some kind of power of rules twisting space about and allowing the huge beam of holy light to destroy the divine rune charm array on the ground.
It was their god's wrath and punishment. The Lord of Glory heard the prayers of his believers. However, with the exception of the little girl's pure faith, all the other believers were filled with fear.
He deemed the believers of the plane utterly disappointing.
While the believers and the holy masters felt insecure, they did not expect that their god would rain punishments on them, sending all of their souls to hell.
The souls sent to hell had to fight the fallen angels. They were either killed or enslaved by the fallen angels.
But there was more than just one hell. The Lord of Glory's divine punishment was powerful, as it sent over 3,000 souls away. They would not be transferred somewhere near.
”Master, put the Floating City back into the magic amplifier. I can't hold it much longer!” The God of Magic Net yelled. Saleen felt a chill run through his spine. The Lord of Glory had broken the Floating City with one single shot, making it very difficult for him to pull many of his tactics.
At the very least, all his large Thunder Dragon Blasters were useless. If they were uninstalled and used on their own, they were utterly incapable of dealing with powerful beings. The blasters were able to aim only because of having 100,000 enchanters working with the magic net on the Floating City.
The targeting was done using mental powers. Without the magic net, the Thunder Dragon Blasters were simply powerful catapults. Hitting targets would be down to luck.
”What happened with the little girl?” Saleen had the weapon spirit of his magic amplifier help the God of Magic Net put the Floating City away into the magic amplifier.
The Floating City, which had been severely damaged, was gradually shrunken by the two level 13 pseudogods. The light disappeared, and the saint's stone house in the huge chasm gradually rose and flew into the air.
Among those onboard the Floating City, only Nailisi and the Winged Skull had soul links with Saleen. They rushed outside as soon as they sensed danger. All the others were chucked inside the magic amplifier along with the city.
Due to the Floating City being put away while it was falling slowly, both the weapon spirit of the magic amplifier and the God of Magic Net were thoroughly exhausted, especially the weapon spirit of the magic amplifier, as it was the last to have its divine fire ignited and the weakest of the three. It had sustained severe damage.
However, there was no other way. If they let the little girl continue to be exposed, the Lord of Glory would not advent in the saint's stone house, but the room in the Floating City.
If that happened, Saleen's Floating City would be completely ruined.
The Lord of Glory definitely would not advent on the Floating City though, as the saint's stone house was the miracle that he left behind. There would not be any danger with him performing the advent in the house. What he did in the Floating City was simply just putting on airs.
Saleen had to yield to the bluff, as both of his powerful weapon spirits had lost the capacity to fight. With the Floating City put away, the magic net became entirely useless, and the enchanters on board would not be able to help Saleen.
The light on the stone house's facade became so intense that it was not possible to look at, and professionals above level ten were capable of looking at the sun directly with their naked eyes. The brightness of the light surpassed the sun. Only Saleen and Rafel were able to see what was going on in the stone house.
A faint shadow continued to coalesce within the stone house, stark naked and around three meters tall. Its silver hair billowed in the void. The center of the stone house seemed to be of a different space from Myers Mainland.
Is that the Lord of Glory? Doesn't look like his statues.
Saleen made a snap decision and took out his family badge, aiming it at the stone house and firing a powerful bolt of lightning.
He originally wanted to capture the god's double alive, but seeing how it had torn a hole in his Floating City, he knew that the double was too powerful for him to handle. He was able to break his Floating City simply by manipulating a saint and casting one divine spell. If he completely advented, there was nothing Saleen would be able to do against him, even if he and all his followers ganged up on him.
He had been too careless, thinking that a level 12 double would not be a big deal.
