The floating city moved very slowly underwater. Even though the God of the Weave had reached rank 13 and could unleash the power of a peak rank 12, it couldn't move more than 50 kilometers underwater.
If not for the vastness of the Frozen Sea, ordinary shallow waters wouldn't be able to accommodate something like a floating city.
While the floating city was 36 kilometers long, when it moved underwater, the water within 500 kilometers would surge.
Salin's fleet had scouted the northern part of the Frozen Sea before. Apart from the Winged Skeletons, no one had returned. But the news he'd received had made Salin stop trying to send a fleet over.
He couldn't afford to lose them.
The north side of the Frozen Sea was richer, but the strength of the magical beasts was stronger.
The most troublesome were the spindle-shaped crustaceans. Most crustaceans were slow no matter how high their rank was. These crustaceans were less than a meter long, but they could move faster than most birds in the water. And this was only under normal circumstances. When they attacked, they could reach a shocking speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour.
There were no creatures that could move like that in the water. These spindle-shaped creatures were at least rank 9, and they moved in groups of at least a thousand.
The fact that rank 9 creatures lived in groups was enough to prove that there were even more high-level creatures living in the northern part of the Frozen Sea. These rank 9 creatures were just food for high-level creatures.
This time, Salin's floating city had entered the Abyss King's City from the north. Along the way, they'd encountered tens of these creatures. They'd tried to get close to the floating city, but they'd been trapped by the water shield and captured by Salin.
The God of the Weave had acted personally, and the water shield was all rank 10. The shuttle-shaped magical beasts were trapped. They wanted to use the sharp spikes on both ends of their bodies to break the bubble, but the lightning mageweath on the bubble made these ninth-level magical beasts suffer.
After capturing tens of thousands of them, Salin studied them in the magic tower. These spindle-shaped creatures had very small magic cores, and were born with the ability to move. There were holes all around their bodies, allowing water to flow through. There were also mageweaths in the holes that could increase their speed.
The water would shoot out from behind, and the speed of these creatures would reach a terrifying speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour. With this kind of speed and sharp body structure, no matter what it collided with, it would usually pierce through under normal circumstances.
The material of this magic beast was pretty good. The shell of a level-nine magic beast could be used to forge weapons. It was enough for the most elite soldiers to use, including those high-level demons.
However, this was not what Salin was concerned about. He had high-grade materials, and even ordinary steel could be refined by an alchemist to meet the needs of war. What Salin noticed was the body structure of this magical beast. If a submersible warship were to adopt this structure, although it would not be as sturdy due to its size, it would still be able to reach a speed of more than two hundred kilometers underwater.
Since there was nothing else to do, Salin assigned the task. The Necromancers immediately designed hundreds of blueprints based on the body of the shuttle-shaped magical beast and gave them to Salin.
Salin chose three types, made some slight changes, and began to order the alchemy factory to forge this type of submersible warship.
Because the artifact spirit that was born in the floating city became a god, a huge space was opened up inside. This space was originally the embryonic form of a Divine Nation, but without a Divine Deity, it was impossible to create a Divine Nation. The space could only be used as a warehouse, and it could not accommodate living creatures for a long time. This huge space was now stored with the materials that Salin was prepared to forge equipment at any time.
After the blueprints were distributed, the alchemy factory began to experiment and forge a new submersible warship according to Salin's intentions. Salin was already mentally prepared to go to war with the Ironblood Grand Duke, and his navy had to be expanded. Even if he did not go to war with the Ironblood Grand Duke, he would still fight for the Eastern Sea. This submersible warship consumed little manpower, and its attack power was strong enough, making it the best way to seal off the sea routes.
If the Ironblood Grand Duke wanted to fight with Salin for the Eastern Sea countries, he would have to rely on a fleet to transport troops. And the Ironblood Grand Duke had the blueprints for the submersible warship from before, so Salin could no longer use it against the duke's navy.
The people of Cloud Flow were obsessed with ships, and the Ironblood Grand Duke must have created a new submersible warship by now. With Inpos, the Ironblood Grand Duke's underwater fleet would be even more well-equipped.
Along the way, countless magical beasts above level ten attacked the floating city. The floating city was huge, and it could not avoid the territory of powerful magical beasts, so it could only force its way through.
Most of the magical beasts actively avoided it. In the eyes of these magical beasts, the floating city was not a living creature, but a flying mountain at the bottom of the sea. Only a few magical beasts lacked intelligence and had great strength came to challenge the floating city.
The Manipulators on the floating city greeted these enemies with huge icicles. One or two level-nine icicles could not hurt the coarse and thick magical beasts at all, but tens of thousands were different. Salin brought the floating city here because he was confident of dealing with these undersea creatures. It would have been impossible even with the dragonbone warship.
There were 120,000 Manipulators stationed on the floating city. These creatures with demonic bloodlines were born with powerful mental power, and under Nelis's intensive training, they could become powerful Manipulators within a year.
The floating city squeezed through the territory of countless magical beasts with a tough stance. Ahead was a fault at the bottom of the sea, and below the fault was the Abyss.
Entering the scope of the Abyss, the space would be completely different, and it would not be restricted by the rules of the Myers Continent.
Salin's floating city slid down along the fault at the bottom of the sea, stirring up a whirlpool a hundred miles in diameter. There were enough alarmed magical beasts along the way, but intelligent magical beasts did not come to provoke the floating city. This time, a huge tentacle appeared below the fault.
If Salin hadn't seen the giant's head, he would have thought that this tentacle was the largest creature in the world.
The tentacle rose up along the fault at the bottom of the sea. The bulges on it were bigger than the Wing Skeleton's meteor hammer. The tentacle didn't seem to be swinging fast, but the huge Magic Shield around the floating city had been deeply dented. If it was hit by this tentacle, the floating city itself would be fine, but the Magic Shield would probably shatter.
In the Magic Tower, Salin raised his hand and an icicle of lightning shot out.
The icicle of lightning accurately shot into a vulnerable part of the tentacle. In Salin's eyes, the flow of energy in the tentacle was no secret. Salin didn't need to calculate where it was hard and where it was vulnerable to intuitively see.
After the icicle of lightning entered the tentacle, it released a powerful electric current, and the tentacle was instantly paralyzed and drooped softly. The end of the tentacle smashed into the floating city's Magic Shield, and the huge Magic Shield shook dozens of times before it slowly stabilized.
In the blink of an eye, the floating city had already crossed the fault at the bottom of the sea and arrived at the inner region of the Abyss.
The owner of the tentacle seemed to be very angry, and it let out a loud roar in the sea. However, it didn't dare enter the Abyss, and could only vainly enjoy its mouth outside.
Salin didn't want to tangle with that huge tentacle now. Outside the Abyss, the laws weren't very stable. Perhaps there was a huge creature above level-12 hiding under the sea. Such a huge creature was completely different from the level-13 ones on land. At least, the magic core of such a creature was bigger than an ordinary car, and the number of spells it could release was astonishing.
Only a vast space like the sea could give birth to such a huge creature. On land, such a creature would starve to death.
If Salin wanted to hunt such a creature, he had to at least make sufficient preparations.
Once the God of the Weave in the floating city fused the magic grid, it would be much easier to deal with such a huge creature.
The floating city slowly landed outside the walls of the Abyss King's City. The northern wall was still intact, and from the floating city, one couldn't see inside.
The wall wasn't nine hundred meters tall, but there was a rainbow glow above it. Even Salin's Elemental Eye couldn't see through this radiance.
Salin couldn't be bothered to look. The Abyss King's City wouldn't run away, and he could return at any time.
The huge tentacle provoked for a long time, but the floating city didn't return. It could only helplessly continue sleeping at the bottom of the sea. On Salin's side, the God of the Weave started to undo his seal, allowing his strength to reach the peak of level-13. He then started fusing the magic grid.
The materials for the floating city were about the same level as the magic grid, and were the best that could be found in this plane. The God of the Weave had absorbed the newly born artifact spirit from the magic grid. Because his strength had always been suppressed at level-12, it had been difficult for him to refine the magic grid. Now that he could use his full strength, refining the magic grid was only a matter of time.
Salin didn't pay attention to this matter. In the magic tower, he started to forge the last item for his equipment.
He hadn't used the one-third of the artifact spirit that had been split from the floating city. This one-third of the artifact spirit was sealed in the broken jade. This time, Salin directly threw the broken jade into his magic amplification device.
Then, he took out a large number of giant bone crystals and fused them with the golden crystals he'd obtained from purifying the devils to forge a huge sword.
The golden dagger was also fused into this brand new weapon.
The golden crystals were continuously melted by the water flames, flowing into the black ring of Salin's magic amplification device and wrapping around the broken jade. This golden liquid also wrapped around the golden dagger, and its volume grew larger and larger.
The magic amplification device's great power could only restrict it for a while. When too much matter entered the black ring, a huge golden sword flew out.
Salin formed a small wind blade on the tip of his tongue, and took out a bit of blood, spraying it on the longsword. The broken jade in the longsword was baptized by Salin's blood, and the artifact spirit was invaded by countless consciousnesses, immediately submitting.
Salin used Thunderclap, and the artifact spirit was almost shattered.
The moment the artifact spirit submitted, even more golden liquid fused into Salin's newly forged longsword. The size of the longsword expanded to more than a hundred meters. Without the magic amplification device, Salin's water flames could no longer control the refinement of this huge sword.
