1470 Before the Breakup Part 2 (2/2)

”Breaking up seems like a sound plan. I have a favor to ask of you, my lord.”

”The bodies of the gods?”

”Indeed.”

Saleen smiled wryly land said, ”You're finally advancing, right?”

”Yes, and I would be able to keep it in check,” Rafel gritted her teeth while answering.

”Well then…What kinds of god creatures would you need?” Saleen knew that Rafel wanted to advance so she could take part in the upcoming battles on Myers Mainland. Those wars would no longer involve infighting between residents of the mainland. The Lord of Glory might have sent a double, or maybe he would advent himself. The most probable thing to happen, however, was to build a bridge between his divine kingdom and Myers Mainland.

There would have been over 100 million angels in a divine kingdom. Greater gods might have commanded over one billion angels. That number even eclipsed the mainland's entire population.

While Rafel and her metal angels were few, they were nonetheless excellent drill sergeants and coaches. Saleen would have depended entirely on them to train his people to fight the angels.

But Rafel's level was still low. If she were to run into the Lord of Glory, she would have probably been able to withstand no more than two hits. Her proactive request was to advance to the same level as Saleen so that she could ably command his armies.

It had taken Saleen a long time to get Rafel to yield, making her willing to fight on his side. It was not joy he felt but a faint melancholy.

”Rafel, is this the work of fate?” asked Saleen while looking at the ring suspended midair, still sucking up the god creatures.

”I don't think so. I have nowhere else to go and you need muscle on your side. It's pure coincidence.”

”Yeah, coincidence.” Saleen nodded. He wondered how many years it had taken for such a coincidence to happen. Rafel had spent at least 2000 years with him in the Hall of Gods.

Rafel had nowhere else to go and I needed more muscle? It was sad but true.

The more Saleen thought about it, the more melancholic he became. The people around him would have all died sooner and later, and he wondered if it was his turn to have nowhere to go to. Even if he became a god, such a day was inevitable.

Rafel sensed Saleen's changing mood. Pointing at the ground, she said, ”My lord, the soil here is probably worth a lot of money.”

Saleen flashed her a smile. With the bone crystals of the giant piling up at the place before, Saleen never paid close attention to the ground below them. The ground was of true soil, but materials materialized from elements, and they were rare gel-like substances.

Those materials could absorb massive amounts of force. If they were to be used to make armor lining, it would have strengthened the armors considerably, making them capable of taking on heavy weapon attacks without stunning the ones wearing them.

But then again, that was not the most important attribute to them. Saleen's Floating City was simply too hard in a manner of speaking. If he were to add those materials to his massive equipment, there would have been no concern about it shattering into bits and pieces even if it crashed to the ground.

Those materials could be used to lay magic arrays. Calculations could have been to alter the material's internal structures, enabling incredibly complex and malleable magical arrays to be laid.

The only reason for the exorbitant prices to such materials was the length of time it took to create the arrays. Worse, there could be no cutting corners during the crafting process.

The ground of the cemetery of the giant was filled with the gel-like earth element, a result of the ground having been subjected to tens of thousands of years of continual blasting by lightning powers.

Saleen could have crafted such materials himself, but he was not willing to spend so much time and a ridiculous amount of manpower to work on something like that.

Rafel's words brought him back to his senses.

To hell with future and whatnot! Live for today and rejoice in the present! That's how it should be. Without the Ring of Cosmos, Saleen would have ended up dead. That cemetery was a trap and one that was extremely intricate.

”What now?” Rafel asked.

”What do you mean 'what now?' ”

”That thing you promised...” Rafel pointed at the god creatures that had yet been sucked into the ring.

Saleen suddenly realized what she meant and said, ”I'll give you a level-16 god creature's body when we return. That should do enough, no?”

Saleen went on to pick the cemetery clean. Myers had acquired all the intelligence she needed in that temple in the middle of the Purgatory Dessert.

”The general lives then?” Myers looked at the projections at the cemetery and frowned.

The general was not a common warrior. He was both valiant and cunning. He had few adversaries back in the empire before. Furthermore, his godly item was ranked sixth in the entire empire, which was considerably more powerful than what she owned.

With his temperament, she thought he would have covered for his subordinates and died before they did. She never expected him to be so lucky that even after providing power of life in the cemetery to his subordinates for so many years, he was still alive and kicking.

A sharp glow was seen in the goddess's eyes. Her entire bearing changed: She looked as if she was the one true lord of Myers Mainland, looking down on everything below.

”Now that you're still alive, I'll make sure Saleen kills you.” The sharpness in her eyes faded, and she reverted to her usual gentle, smiling expression.
