[Third Update]
A person without desires could not be destroyed.
Although Salin had desires, he had satisfied all of them regarding Myers' temple. His last wish was to destroy these temples as much as possible so that no one else could obtain the goddess' luck.
Destruction was always easier than construction. Salin only needed to destroy the teleportation arrays to make some temples disappear from the Dimensional Planes forever.
Myers probably did not expect that the person who had to resurrect her would have to destroy all her temples.
Salin's thinking was simple. Even if the goddess was resurrected in the future, he would still have to destroy these temples. It was relatively easier to destroy them now. What's more, Goddess Myers didn't leave the Lookout for him alone. At least four or more people became powerhouses because of the fortuitous encounters in the Lookout, including Rex. Salin didn't believe that Rex only obtained gold coins in the Lookout.
Apart from gold coins, Rex's special physique was most likely obtained in the temples as well. Otherwise, Sephiroth would've asked the Golden Plain to take Rex back no matter how much he didn't like her since she was a child.
The Golden Plains did not want Rex either, which meant that Rex's physique was not good when she was young. Emperor Charnak had no choice but to let her leave the capital.
The terrain here was flat, and there was no way to make any hidden traps. It was all plains for hundreds of miles. No wonder Agares only used the stupidest method to deal with Salin. There were three assassins among the ordinary soldiers.
Salin's Elemental Eyes could not distinguish these assassins at first, but the attack of thousands of familiars made it impossible for these three assassins to hide. The only way for them to continue hiding was to die together with the soldiers. That way, their identities would not be exposed.
Agares might have found a good opportunity to deal with others using the stupidest method. But Salin used the crudest method to destroy his plan.
There was a saying among mages: after the flames of magic burned, what was fine gold and what was bronze would be clear at a glance.
This time, after Salin found the coordinates of the spatial tunnel, he directly pressed the Elemental Magic Tower against it. Salin could freely enter and exit any part of the Elemental Magic Tower.
"Shika, look outside. If there are strong enemies this time, don't hold back. Let the Tamed Monsters attack with full force, don't save the magic cores … "Sarin paused for a moment, then smiled and said," We have to let the enemy know that we're rich and can crush them with money.
Salin wasn't bragging. With over three thousand Tamed Monsters in the Magic Tower, they could borrow the power of the Weave. At worst, they would have the strength of a Rank 7 Magic Shooter. These three thousand or so familiars were divided into three waves and took turns to attack. Their sustained combat power was definitely longer than Salin's.
Salin could fight against over a hundred Seventh Rank Magic Shooters by himself, but he would not be able to handle over a thousand of them attacking him at the same time.
The strength of the Elemental Magic Tower was that when more than a thousand Tamed Monsters attacked at the same time, the attack range could be locked in a very small area, and there would be no elemental chaos. It was much safer and more efficient than the magic cannons.
"Salin, even if you don't let me go, you have to let Nelis go, right? “
"Su is following me. This time, I feel that luck is Su's!" As Salin spoke, it was as if a door had opened in his heart. He had gotten what he needed, but his subordinates still needed what they needed. It was a stroke of luck that he was able to use the Magic Tower to directly suppress the coordinates of the spatial tunnel.
If he did not take advantage of such good luck, the next time, his luck would leave him.
This was the theory of superposition of good luck that the astrologer spoke of. When a person refused the favor of fate, fate would completely abandon him.
Salin used the Divine Power in the Bestowal Ring to successfully open the passage to the temple, and walked in with Su. Su was very relaxed now. He was learning from Salin's attitude toward fate. He just had to try his best, and never be afraid.
"Master, I'll still use the long and short swords in the future. What I've realized now is not stable, but there is a set of secret techniques passed down in my family. I can practice a little, and I can connect the previous skills.
I like both of these swords very much, Master, I hope to keep using them.
"Take it as a souvenir. I will reforge new equipment for you according to the specifications of these two swords." Salin and Su were talking. Suddenly, a huge fist came crashing over.
It was just a fist.
A lonely fist flew over and hit Salin's face. Salin's eyes shot out lightning and directly burned the fist to ashes. Salin saw it very clearly. It was just the hand of a puppet.
"Master!"
Su cried out. He saw a foot fly out from the darkness, heading straight for Salin. He slashed down with his sword, and the puppet's foot fell to the ground, breaking it into a dozen pieces.
Whoosh!
This time, it was a puppet's armor. It was a very common puppet accessory in ancient times. Nowadays, mages could not make good puppets, so this kind of pendant had become a rare commodity.
But Salin still thought it was a piece of trash. He casually wrapped it in water flames and refined it into slag.
"This mage is quite interesting!"
"Study it after it's dead?"
"Mages are living creatures. After it's dead, there's little research value!"
"But if it's alive, it'll think about how to study us!"
"Isn't that fair?"
"Why don't you go die? Talk about fairness with humans? "
Two voices quarreled in the darkness, but Salin said calmly, "Come out. There's no point in trying to arouse my curiosity. It's just a puppet. I've seen even stranger puppets. "
Two broken puppets immediately jumped out. One of them was missing an arm, its toes were cut off, and there was a big hole in its waist from which energy constantly escaped.
The other puppet did not even have two legs. It moved with two very long hands. This puppet's characteristic was that it was very human-like. It had the feeling of Cain.
But it was definitely a mage's puppet, not an astrologer's puppet.
"Mage, did you come to the Temple to resurrect Myers?"
"Please don't, that bitch …"
"Shut up, Myers is not a bitch."
"You deserve to have your legs cut off!"
The two puppets quarreled. Salin said with a cold face, "It wasn't easy for you to give birth to a soul. Why learn to be like humans? I came for wealth. If you can't help me, I can only study you as spare parts. "
The two puppets suddenly screamed and pointed at Salin. "Arrogant mage, you dare threaten us when you're only level ten?"
"I'm out of patience." Salin saw that the two puppets' souls were dissipating. Clearly, they didn't have much time left. They were probably thinking of ways to trick experts to subdue them, and then devour their masters to obtain new soul power.
Salin didn't know how puppets obtained souls, but he already knew too much about the relationship between souls.
"Out of patience? Haha! "
"Quack, quack …"
The two puppets laughed at the same time. The legless puppet said, "Mage, we were just bored and teasing you."
After the puppet finished speaking, Salin and Sue saw at the same time that the strange darkness in the Temple disappeared. Two huge magic lamps lit up not far from them.
These two magic lamps were the eyes of a huge puppet. This huge puppet sat on the ground, more than three hundred meters away. It lowered its head and placed its hands on the ground. Salin and Sue appeared on its palms.
This huge puppet wasn't too strong in Salin's eyes. It might be level nine, and its fighting strength might reach level ten. However, the real puppet had been in disrepair for a long time, and it lacked the souls of the two puppets standing on its shoulders. For Salin, this huge puppet was really just a pile of materials.
"Master, it seems that this is a puppet world!" Sue looked around. Under the illumination of the huge puppet's eyes, there were almost hundreds of thousands of puppets around. These puppets were several hundred meters tall, and the small ones were almost the size of a human finger.
"Haha!" Salin laughed and said, "Look in the distance!"
Salin instantly shared perception with Sue. Because they were now standing high enough, Sue could also see hundreds of miles away. The collapsed Temples were occupied by the puppets.
Gods weren't omnipotent. Goddess Myers had left behind twenty-four Temples, and the Temples were filled with great wealth, skills, equipment, and materials. In order to prevent people from easily obtaining these things from the Myers Continent, most of the Temples were set up in Dimensional Planes or Half Planes. These planes didn't have living creatures, so Myers could calmly use her divine spell to open up space and preserve the Temples for a longer time.
After Sue's perception was cut off, she understood that the two didn't go the wrong way. It was just that the Temple here had been occupied by the puppets.
"Wizard, obey us. Let the light of the puppets shine on all the planes. Sign a contract with me!"
The legless puppet said passionately to Salin. Salin didn't bother to pay attention to it. These puppets were already old and lacked energy. If they had enough energy, Salin would still be worried about their power. Now, with the puppet in front of him, if he exerted a little more force, the wound on its waist would spray out all the remaining energy.
Salin found it strange that these two puppets knew about Myers. When the Lookout was captured, Myers had already died. Otherwise, these puppets wouldn't be enough for Myers to destroy with her divine spell.
"Wizard, don't listen to him. What do you mean by all the planes? I want to build a Puppet Plane. You can be the first human in the Puppet Plane. We will cooperate, but only in a cooperative relationship! You will provide us with mages who can repair our bodies, and we will provide you with all kinds of puppets. It's the best of both worlds! "
Salin laughed and said, "From a wizard's perspective, the temptation of building a Puppet Plane is really great."
"So you agree?" The legless puppet was overjoyed.
"Idiot." The legless puppet said angrily.
"Who are you calling an idiot!"
