There were only two ways for gods to attract believers. One was to scare them, and the other was to entice them.
The God of Light knew how to scare them. Those who didn't believe in me would go to hell. As for entice, it was even simpler. Those who believed in me would live forever.
This sentence wasn't a lie.
Because logically speaking, if the God of Light didn't die, these believers wouldn't die. And if the God of Light died, then there was nothing to believe. The premise of belief didn't exist, so there was no way to live forever.
It wasn't a lie, but it was a trap.
Anyway, the God of Light would die himself, so he wouldn't think about what would happen to his believers. If he died, why would he care about others?
Believers were the granaries of gods. When people were alive, of course, they cared about food. Who had seen dead people fight for food? With the invasion of the entire Undead Plane, the granaries of the Myer Continent wouldn't lose even half a grain of rice.
There were less than four months left of the agreement with Faka. In these four months, Salin couldn't create any gods. He had to focus on this floating city.
As he expected, the bone dragon below dispersed the mages of Alchemy City and let the half-dead occupy the city. Then, it stayed in the city and trained desperately. Alchemy City didn't lose much. Although the bone dragon was intelligent, it didn't need human equipment. Outside the city center, other than the bone dragon refining a nest with bones, there was basically no change in other places.
Once the people of Alchemy City left, the bone dragon lost interest in demolishing houses.
The bone dragon also saw the floating city in the sky. After the clouds and rain dispersed, the bone dragon didn't fly into the sky to attack. The bone dragon didn't have the confidence to destroy the floating city. If the floating city didn't attack, it would endure it.
Salin also flew the floating city to an altitude of 30,000 meters and only monitored from high above.
Everything was fine, but they would have to face each other sooner or later. Salin was very clear about this. He couldn't figure out the level of this bone dragon. Logically speaking, there were at most level-12 creatures on the Myer Continent. Level-13 creatures could barely exist after their strength was suppressed, such as Archangel Raphael.
The floating city needed to be refined again. Salin added too many giant bone crystals, which affected the flying ability of the floating city. This time, he was going to add three new mechanical cores to make this floating city fly.
In the future, this thing would have to do a plane jump, and without the corresponding power, the floating city would not be able to restore its former power.
Three damaged mechanical cores were installed on the floating city. Salin added the Creation Liquid, Six Elemental Heavy Water, and a large number of giant bone crystals.
This time, all the movements were concentrated at the center of the floating city.
The three mechanical cores were repaired by the Creation Liquid and Six Elemental Heavy Water. The crystallization of the giant's bones was not inferior to elemental stones. It was just that the crystallization of this giant's skeleton was not as high as the elemental stones.
However, the crystallization strength of the Giant's bones was better than that of the Elemental Stones, and there was no doubt about its toughness. The Earth Elemental Energy contained within the crystal was even stronger than that of an Elemental Stone. Although the Earth Elemental Energy was singular, it was superior in terms of purity.
Of course, Salin didn't do it on the surface. He first remodeled the core of the floating city. In the central square, he used the crystallized bones of giants to erect tall buildings, and in the middle of the tall buildings, he repaired the huge alchemy platform obtained from underground.
With the Lightning Star and the countless mechanical puppets flickering with lightning, it was easy to reinstall the alchemy platform.
The building was nine stories high and divided into nine alchemy factories. Below the alchemy factories were the mechanical cores of the four Sky Castles. This time, the remodeling did not alarm anyone, nor did there be any abnormal phenomena.
Raphael and her angels were bestowed with Six Elemental Heavy Water by Salin to condense their bodies first.
The height of angels wasn't necessarily better. These metal angels, because they had lost their gods, their body structure became more and more loose, and there was even the possibility of division. After receiving the Six Elemental Heavy Water made by Salin, the height of these metal angels gradually shrank to about three meters. Raphael's height shrank to about the same as Neris's.
Neris was unwilling. Raphael was the same size as her and immediately showed her perfect appearance.
Angels were combat weapons, and whether a weapon was useful or not could be seen from its appearance. Raphael's body structure was exceptionally perfect. If not for a pair of wings, she would be a peerless beauty. With wings, Raphael looked a little bewitching, and her pair of golden eyes could make one's soul sink deep into them.
Salin knew Neris's feelings, but he couldn't give up a helper like Raphael. With Raphael around, he was much more confident in dealing with the bone dragon.
The metal angels were sent to sleep in the Elemental Magic Tower, and Salin wasn't prepared to let the metal angels fight before he could resurrect them. Unless he had no other choice, he wouldn't let the metal angels become consumables.
Studying angels was also what Mages desired to do.
Mages had once created powerful puppets, but puppets didn't have souls, but angels could.
The floating city gradually changed its appearance. In the central palace complex, after the nine-story alchemy factory was built, with the alchemy factory as the core, the four huge pillars below were the four Sky Castles' mechanical cores.
This floating city had become somewhat different from the Sky Castles. When the four mechanical cores operated, the burden on the floating city was reduced, and it could even be said that too much energy was wasted.
However, Salin had set up the Magic Net, and the extra power could keep the floating city's Magic Net running, so there was no need to wait for battle to prop it up.
In the center of the four mechanical cores, underground, was Salin's Elemental Magic Tower. This Elemental Magic Tower was also completely integrated with the floating city. To Salin's surprise, after the structure of the floating city was rearranged, a thing that looked like a sword spirit appeared in the center of the Elemental Magic Tower.
Salin's floating city had used up about nine crystallized giant bones, and such a squandering made the floating city extremely sturdy again. The thing that appeared in the core was a translucent creature, like a soul, but as void as one without a soul. Salin felt strong earth elemental power, and this thing wasn't an earth elemental creature.
Looking at its appearance, it looked like a young giant.
Had the floating city given birth to an artifact spirit? Salin frowned slightly. If this artifact spirit couldn't be subdued, the floating city would fly away on its own. This was no laughing matter.
While Salin was hesitating, the thing that was suspected to be the artifact spirit suddenly opened its eyes. In the void, only this pair of eyes was real. Salin didn't hesitate to release Lightning Stars.
The big man pounced, surrounded by thousands of small puppets. The entire thirteen floors of the Elemental Magic Tower were filled with the bodies of thunder and lightning puppets.
"Hmph!"
The owner of the pair of eyes glared at Salin, and the Lightning Icicle in Salin's hand shot out.
The two eyes filled with spirit energy immediately closed, and Salin's Lightning Icicle passed through the void, hit the wall of the magic tower, and fell to the ground. This was the first time since Salin's creation that the Lightning Icicle had failed.
When the Lightning Icicle fell to the ground, the pair of eyes opened again and pounced into the big man's body. All the electricity on the thunder and lightning puppets seemed to have no effect on this artifact spirit.
At this time, Salin was sure that the giant-like thing was indeed the artifact spirit of the floating city. In ancient times, Sky Castles weren't equipment and couldn't give birth to artifact spirits. But the floating city that Salin had created wasn't big, and all its characteristics were that of a huge piece of equipment.
He had used too much Creation Essence Liquid, Six Elemental Heavy Water, and crystallized giant bones.
When the four mechanical cores of the Sky Castles were all operating, the entire floating city was a piece of equipment through and through.
It was just that Salin himself couldn't wrap his head around the fact that the floating city, which was more than nine hundred meters thick and thirty-six square kilometers wide, was a piece of equipment.
The floating city's power was immense, and Salin had put a large number of spare magic cores, crystals, and even dragon crystal fragments into all the magic furnaces. After the four mechanical cores returned to their positions, the consumption of the floating city was actually less than before. Energy circulated endlessly within the range of the floating city, and when it wasn't in battle, this energy would come and go, reaching a perfect balance.
Thus, this artifact spirit was born, and it was abnormally powerful. Salin's thunder and lightning puppets were originally very lethal to existences like artifact spirits or souls, but the artifact spirit itself relied on the floating city. Unless Salin could destroy the floating city in one fell swoop, he wouldn't be able to kill this thing.
The floating city was too sturdy, and even if Salin shot it with the Lightning Badge, he might not be able to destroy it. The nine crystallized giant bones were equivalent to refining the floating city into a huge shield. Not to mention Salin, even if a Great Grandmaster came, he didn't know if they could shake the foundation of the floating city.
Salin's heart was cold. To keep it a secret, he had Nelis guard outside, fearing that something would happen to Sid, so he didn't keep her by his side. He was doing this alone on the thirteenth floor of the magic tower.
The astrologer said that thirteen was an unlucky number, and it was indeed so!
Salin couldn't retreat. This artifact spirit was powerful, and it was devouring his thunder and lightning puppets. What made Salin's heart ache was that his puppet star spirit was also devoured by the floating city spirit.
This artifact spirit had already given birth to a soul, but it died because of his own mistake. The operation of the entire puppet star slowed down because of the big guy's death.
Salin struggled to think of a solution. He was trapped in the thirteenth floor of the magic tower, and the entire magic tower was sealed. Under the floating city, outsiders couldn't get in at all, and he couldn't get out. If he didn't subdue this artifact spirit, everyone would be finished.
This was because the artifact spirit could completely control the floating city, and the entire magic net was its weapon.
One had to know that most of the materials of the floating city were crystallized giant bones. This thing itself contained a hundred times more energy than the magic cores. Once the artifact spirit went all out, if it had any talent magic, it could release it with the magic net, and probably no one could resist it.
