1491 Advent of the Divine Kingdom Part 2 (2/2)
”From here on out, you could have all of your followers return to the mainland. I would do nothing against them,” she stated.
”Well then, follow me.” Saleen then took the goddess to the Floating City.
The goddess glanced toward where the Magical Element Tower was and asked, ”Why are you using something so dangerous, Saleen?”
”Dangerous?” he asked.
”You could have caused the birth of a new god with that thing; a level 18 one at that,” she said.
”We'll get to that later. If we can't kill the Lord of Glory, there is no point in me thinking about anything that could happen in the future,” he said. Saleen admitted bluntly that he was not all that responsible of a person.
The goddess did not care for Saleen's prattling. She simply waited outside the tower while Saleen went inside to attend to his business.
The first thing he did after returning to the tower was summon Nailisi and the Winged Skull. He contacted his teacher after returning the 12 Notes of First Purgatory to Nailisi, hoping that Jason would be able to come to the Floating City and take care of things.
After he was done with all of that, Saleen handed some of his prized magic nuclei, equipment, and godly items over to Nailisi, saying to her, ”Nailisi, the Goddess of Myers is outside the door right now. I'm not a match for her, and even working together we still wouldn't be able to take her on. I'm being forced to do something dangerous now and I'm not sure if I'll be able to come back alive. Keep these. Make them your own or just throw them into the collection of purgatories to enhance it...”
”Master, I'll go out and cut her up right now!” Nailisi was being rather impulsive. She was able to see the goddess standing outside of the tower. Fires of intense jealousy burned inside her.
”That's impossible. It is not a certainty that I will die while doing this. The chances of me surviving might actually be quite large. I'm giving you all of these just in case.” Saleen thought for a bit, then called Nicholas over. ”Nicholas, follow Nailisi around. She might be petty, but she is not going to leave you to your own devices.”
”Master, how about we just head back to the spirit plane?” the Winged Skull said suddenly.
Saleen smiled and said, ”Bing, this is my chance. If I'm able to survive this, I'll definitely be able to reach level 15. Things would be smooth-sailing from then on out. If I'm unable to take this one step forward, this is where I'll be stuck for the rest of my life.”
”What about Sika, then?” Nailisi mentioned Sika instead of Lex, knowing that the Caucasian woman was the one that he was the most concerned about.
”We have kids, don't we? She'd head to the Imperial City of the Abyss with me, and we would stare into the eyes of death together,” Saleen responded.
”Master!” Nailisi was getting extremely irritated. She was unable to accept that he was leaving her out of something like this.
”You've been taking Myers' appearance for far too long. Did you really think that she wouldn't have been irked? Don't get into trouble. Like I said, my death is not a sure thing. It's just that this whole thing is something that even Myers would consider to be dangerous,” Saleen said.
Nailisi turned around, feeling very anxious.
Saleen then said, ”Wait for my return. Hopefully the Lord of Glory will be dead by then.”
The Goddess of Myers waited quietly outside the tower. She was rather curious about Saleen. That mage was only able to get as far as he did because he had acquired her Ring of Gift. But, among those who had received her luck, Saleen's portion had been very small. He had been able to achieve so many great things due to the powers given to him by others.
Lightning powers were the highest form of powers to be had, and those would not have been something that could be easily wielded by someone with his type of talents. However, she was able to clearly sense that Saleen's ability to control lightning was leaps and bounds ahead of what he had been capable of when they had last fought each other.
Just what kind of a person is protecting such a puny human and guiding him into this many mystical encounters?
The act of Myers taking Saleen to the Imperial City of the Abyss was a gamble in itself. She was betting on Saleen's survival and that he, in turn, would give her good luck. That was something that Saleen remained oblivious of. In his mind, it was he who was instead hoping to acquire luck from the goddess.
It took over half an hour before Saleen emerged from inside of the tower. ”How are we getting there?” he asked the goddess.
”I'll be taking you there. Just be patient,” the goddess said as she took Saleen by the belt. Both of them suddenly shot forward. Saleen was able to see with the Eye of Souls that he was being wrapped in a layer of elements, and that they were charging into a portal.
So, this is the ability to jump through space? The goddess had deliberately lowered the speed of the process so that he could clearly see what was happening. If Saleen were smart enough, he would have been able to learn certain space functions. That was, if he was diligent enough to remember the entire process, and to research it further when he had the time.
When Saleen and the goddess appeared outside the Imperial City of the Abyss, an extremely huge portal also appeared at the center of Cloudflow Empire. That gate was not the figurative gate often mentioned by mages, but a true, huge gate, which looked dazzling because of how extremely lavish it was.
The steps before the gate were several kilometers wide, and they looked spotlessly white and shimmered like jade.
Loud holy songs were heard from the other side of the gate, filling the air. Legions of angels were gathering about and becoming accustomed to the rules of Myers Mainland, getting ready to charge outside.
The divine kingdom advent and the nobles of the Cloudflow Empire were all shocked. A massive army consisting over a million troops had amassed, preparing to hold the line at all cost. That was probably the last bit of decency left in the people of Cloudflow.
They were utterly unwilling to become slaves of a god, and would have rather faced their greatest fear of dying on the battlefield.
