Chapter 1332: Becoming a God (Part 2)

Nailisi was not willing to let this happen since she didn’t want the imps and demonic spirits she had painstakingly summoned to become the Weapon’s Spirit’s subordinates. They were originally all demons who were loyal to her.

That being said, there was no way she could oppose Saleen’s request. This matter would be extremely helpful in increasing his combat prowess.

Saleen needed to take the lead with Holy Rock City and assume power in Alchemy City. It was important for people to know that there was still a powerful bone dragon stationed in Alchemy City. Once the bone dragon acclimatized itself to the rules of the Myers Continent, or if the rank restriction there was relaxed, it might be able to leave after releasing its power, expanding its nest, and even releasing death-spirit descendants.

What a terrifying thought. Wherever the bone dragon passed, living creatures would be turned into death spirits. What a disastrous scene.

This was different from living creatures becoming demonized. Demonized living creatures could still be saved through purification spells. For those turned into death spirits, the process was irreversible.

At the present time, it was impossible for Saleen to consider Nailisi’s emotions. Floating City’s Weapon’s Spirit had become a god and was moving ahead with its plans. Holy Rock City needed to come under his control. He had previously feared that he wouldn’t be able to triumph over Safilos. Now, that wasn’t an issue. With the Violet Angel, Rafel, and the addition of the Floating City’s Weapon’s Spirit, Saleen was surrounded by powerful beings. Hundreds of metal angels were also at the ready.

Floating City’s Weapon’s Spirit was floating at the highest floor of the Magical Element Tower. The space here had already expanded to a three-kilometer diameter. All 24 floors of the magical tower were flooded with elemental power.

Floating City’s Weapon’s Spirit might be the first god in history to operate a magical tower. The enchanters who were using the magic spells in the magic nets were akin to offering prayers to him. In that case, he would gain the power of faith and strengthen himself.

Not even Saleen knew that his creation had already modified some rules atop the Myers Continent.

Even if it was the level-18 mages at the beginning, none of them had been able to modify the rules of the plane. This pioneering innovation of Saleen’s, which was considered worthy of inclusion in the history books of mages, would never fade away.

The image of the Weapon’s Spirit had also been changed. His body expanded continuously, with three heads and six arms. What flowed through his body was the purest elemental energy current that formed a magic robe.

Each palm of his six hands held an item: potent elemental badges.

These badges were held in the Weapon’s Spirit’s palms. They were different from Truman’s elemental envoys. The badges of the six great elements did not store any elemental creatures inside. Rather, they were elemental angels. Floating City’s Weapon’s Spirit was crafting angels to act as its private army.

This was a god’s instinct. Saleen didn’t have to order the Weapon’s Spirit, and the Weapon’s Spirit would take care of these matters itself.

Because it had six arms, the elemental magic robe looked bizarre. The Weapon’s Spirit was supported by its two legs. Each head looked in one direction and kept watch over all positions in the entire Floating City. It was even continuously modifying the structure of Floating City’s magic net to allow the bottom part of Floating City, where the enchanters lived, to be retracted into the center. The entirety of Floating City’s bottom part formed a construction resembling a castle fortress. These sharply pointed construction was also facing down.

The ones who would ultimately live inside these constructions were the elemental angels.

They were what the god could truly depend on. The combat power of the enchanters was still not sufficient in the god’s eyes.

The Violet Angel’s voice suddenly surfaced in Saleen’s mind.

“Master, I too wish to become a god!”

“Not permitted.”

“Why?”

“Where will you find disciples?”

“There are the lightning warriors!”

“Those are mine.”

“Master, I too am your slave, becoming a god…”

“Idiot, what’s so great about becoming a god? Look at me. I’m just a lowly mage and I still take control of a god!”

“Master, I know that on the entire Myers Continent there is only one mage of your caliber.” The Violet Angel repeatedly harassed him with the expression of a child. The puppet was trying to curry favor with Saleen and get some benefits.

“You really want to be a god?” Saleen’s heart was moved. Floating City’s Weapon’s Spirit became a god but it didn’t have much consciousness of its own. The Violet Angel did have some intelligence. After becoming a god, it would have immense potential. The Violet Angel would also be within his control. It was just as Saleen he said: Even the puppet became a god, it would still be his slave.

Toward the Violet Angel, Saleen lacked the same feelings he had for the Winged Skull or Nailisi. He felt the Violet Angel was an odious being.

“Yes, Master.”

“Alright then. Once you have completely consumed the two oracles from the Holy See, I’ll help you think of a way.”

“They are level-12 oracles that have emerged from the divine kingdom. If I consume them, I will be pursued and killed by the Lord of Glory.”

Saleen smiled coldly and said, “To become a god, don’t you have to fork over some coins?

“But why did he…”

The Violet Angel pointed at the highest floor of the Magical Element Tower. He saw that Floating City’s Weapon’s Spirit seemed not to have paid any price.

“He’ll never be unable to leave Floating City or the peak of the magical tower. That’s the price of losing his freedom forever. You can still move about everywhere. Even if this Weapon’s Spirit is destroyed, he can only die here.”

The Violet Angel sucked in a mouthful of cold air. That’s not what he wanted.

“You’re in essence a demon, the strongest of the demons. If you become a god, your body will come to kill you without caring about anything else,” Saleen reminded the Violet Angel. This time, the Violet Angel was really scared.

As to the Heretic God, his intelligence originated from a wisp of the Heretic God’s soul. Thus, he was unable to change his feelings about or fear the Heretic God.

“Alright Master, I will still honestly…”

“Hmph.” Saleen didn’t expose the Violet Angel’s true face. It definitely wanted to gain freedom. It thought that after becoming a god, it would be able to escape from Saleen’s control.

How could this be so easy? He had refined the Violet Angel. Although it was only experimental, the Violet Angel’s combat abilities were all level-10. How could Saleen let this strange creature slip away? Further, he still wanted to search the Heretic God through the Violet Angel.

The day would come when the Heretic God would descend. This thing had not died and had even created many Angels of Fear. On the Myers Continent’s plane, Saleen had seen three of them.

The Heretic God wanted to invade this place; Saleen could already confirm this.

Fycro had probably also been subjected to the Heretic God’s temptation. Otherwise, how could the purest Oracle in the Holy See even think about betraying the god?

Unknowingly, Saleen’s astrology had attained the status of being at the pinnacle of level-10. He was not too clear about this change. He had merely been using astrology frequently to do calculations and in the course of doing so had become better and better at it.

The Violet Angel was not really serious about betraying Saleen. A living creature like it would have an endless desire to become a god. Floating City’s Weapon’s Spirit had become one, and that had been a tremendous shock. Saleen had also considered giving it a piece of broken jade. By doing so, he would eternally be able to control the Violet Angel.

Saleen, however, felt that the Violet Angel’s potential for growth was too low and that he was unwilling to part from it.

There were three pieces of broken jade. One piece had been given to the Lightning Constellation’s Weapon’s Spirit, and one piece had been given to Floating City’s Weapon’s Spirit. Within the third piece was still a third of the Giant Weapon’s Spirit that had not gained consciousness. If he allowed the Violet Angel to consume it, Saleen believed that the Violet Angel could also become a level-13 pseudogod.

This was Saleen lacking confidence in the secret technique he had studied. If he had known how terrifying and vile such methods of controlling others were in higher-grade Crystal Wall Systems, he would not have been so worried about this either.

Unless he died, the Violet Angel would be his slave his entire life.

Regarding the investigations into becoming a god not being complete, the Winged Skull also could not help but ask Saleen, “Master, in the beginning…Gaine asked me if I wanted to become a god. I chose to reject him. What are the gods? To cause you to hate them so much.”

“Gods…I’m not sure. Mages have also been researching this matter, but they have not come to a firm conclusion. The treatment of many gods toward their disciples cannot be considered bad and they don’t demand much. The existence of the gods, however, will cause the plane to become desolate.”

“Then what about Floating City?”

“I suppose…the space within the broken jade is equivalent to that of a plane, at least in theory. The Weapon’s Spirit has become a god and ignited his divine fire within it. It’s impossible for it to penetrate the broken jade to affect Floating City. This level-13 Weapon’s Spirit can only provide Floating City with the help of one at level-12. That’s about it.”

“But Master, what if Floating City’s Weapon’s Spirit advances, won’t it…”

“You mean, will it betray me or not?”

“Yes.”

“There is a possibility, but even if it betrays me, I have the means to punish it. The rules of lightning should be the supreme rules of this plane. It’s harder for gods to advance. At the very least, it’s much slower than it is for humans. Once Floating City’s Weapon’s Spirit advances, I estimate that I will already be a level-14 or level-15. Of course, that’s if I live long enough.”

“I understand…” The Winged Skull’s eyes flashed. Within his two eyes, the blood-soul tower was still revolving. It purified the evil black-colored weapon, causing tens of thousands of powerful souls to appear inside the blood-soul tower in its eyes. These were the spirits of demons it had absorbed.

These demons now worshiped it within the blood-soul tower. If the Winged Skull was willing, it could also walk the path of becoming a god. After listening to Saleen’s intentions, Saleen still did not harbor any sanguine feelings toward the gods. The Winged Skull finally gave up and decided it would never choose this path.

Floating City’s Weapon’s Spirit maneuvered that gigantic city to fly east. Along the way, Saleen looked down and saw a phenomenon. The area controlled by the Principality of Bitterwater was all very normal, but once they had left its borders and arrived at the Qin Empire, it lay in ruins.

Most of the villages on the ground were devoid of people. The castles controlled by the minor aristocrats were also empty, and no stationed troops could be seen. Abandoned, derelict fields were everywhere the eye could see.

“What happened?” Saleen saw this scene and suddenly recalled that after Lex had headed to Holy Rock City, he hadn’t received any news from her. Neither had he received anything about Holy Rock City where had some spies working for him. These people had been deeply concealed and would not eavesdrop on information that was concealed too secretly. However, he should have received reports of such an obvious change long ago!

There was still a distance of less than 500 kilometers between Floating City and Holy Rock City, but Saleen couldn’t take it anymore. He thought for a moment, called Eleanor and said, “Take your flying troops and prepare to move out at any time. Let Qin be your assistant.”

“Saleen, Jola and Sul, Nicholas, all of them are strong professionals. Don’t worry about Lex,” Eleanor consoled Saleen.

Saleen heaved a sigh but did not process Eleanor’s words. His own power was becoming stronger and stronger, but there would always be foes who made his life difficult. At the very least, there was no way for him to pursue the mages who had withdrawn from Alchemy City. There was also the bone dragon, as well as the powerful Heretic God in the abomination plane. Who knew what unprecedented event had occurred in Holy Rock City that would cause no information to be transmitted at all? This didn’t sound good.
