[Update 3]
Salin was a little unhappy because he didn't want to dominate the continent. He already had Rafael's Half Plane, a place without gods and restrictions. After dealing with the Myers Goddess, he didn't want to stay on the Myers Continent.
He was a Mage and didn't want to be an emperor, but others didn't seem to understand this and thought that he would conquer the entire continent. This wasn't his dream. In essence, he was still the old Salin, who just needed to have food to eat and practice magic.
What he didn't bother to fight for, these people fought until their heads were bleeding. He thought that the Iron Blood Grand Duke was a person with character, but now it seemed that they were all the same.
Let's hurry and resurrect the goddess. Thinking of this, Salin sped up and flew to the floating city.
Raphael was the closest to Salin, and she whispered from behind, "Sir, your troubles are easy to solve."
"How?"
"Kill Rex, and you don't have to worry about this."
"Haha!" Salin laughed and said, "I'm a human, my troubles are different from those of the gods."
"Oh." The corners of Raphael's mouth curled up. She also knew that her solution wasn't a solution, but Salin's mood immediately improved when he heard her words.
What Raphael said wasn't funny. Salin's mood gradually worsened because of Rex. He had great power now, but he had to let Rex deal with a bunch of people on the Golden Plains alone. He had vented his anger just now because he wanted to support Rex. He wanted these people to think about what they did in the future.
When Raphael said this, Sarlin immediately understood. He wasn't a god, and it was normal to have these troubles. What would a teacher do? When he wasn't strong enough, he would improve his strength, and when he was strong enough, he would find the enemy to settle the score. How simple was this? Was there a need to sigh?
After thinking it through, Salin boarded the floating city and changed his orders. He wasn't going to the sacred city, but to kill all the way into the Tanggulas Empire.
The Tanggulas Empire's own military strength wasn't too strong, somewhat inferior to Qin Yin's. But with the Vatican's Knights and the Inquisition, the number of troops was ten times that of Qin Yin's. The gap in equipment could also be made up for with numbers.
Salin had originally wanted to directly attack the core target and not care about anything else. Now, he suddenly realized that he only wanted to make the Church uncomfortable, and did not really want to destroy the Holy City.
Salin himself did not have much confidence. In the Holy City, there were definitely powerful divine weapons that could be used by many people and could not be carried around.
This was a city that the God of Light had personally chosen. If it was destroyed, all the believers would lose their dreams.
However, if that was the case, there would be suspicions of trickery. If he killed his way through, he would attract countless believers to protect him.
It wouldn't take much effort for the floating city to deal with ordinary cities. Those who dared to defend the religion were all die-hard believers. There was nothing to regret about killing them.
As Salin's rank gradually rose, he didn't care too much about matters of life and death.
The Floating-Space City went all the way to the west, and when it passed over the Jiaroulan Principality, Sarin looked down. The Jiaroulan Principality was in ruins. It was once a very prosperous principality on the continent. Most of the goods from various places passed through here. There used to be the most courier stations, the most trading companies, and countless merchants.
Now, there was nothing left, only the burned village, the unharvested crops mixed with weeds.
The city was not complete at all. The city walls that the Vatican had repaired were destroyed again in the counterattack of the Qin Yin people.
When the Church fought back, they also had to rebuild it, and this repeated several times. There was no longer the vitality of the past here. The flames of war were even more terrible than magic. They destroyed the roots of people in their homeland.
The fastest flying speed of the Floating-Space City was more than five hundred miles, but the consumption ratio was more than ten times that of ordinary flying. The normal flying speed was more than two hundred miles. If it sped up slightly, the speed of three hundred miles would not be more than double the consumption.
Salin simply flew at two hundred miles. The behemoth Floating-Space City swept through the sky and headed straight for its first target — Gulo of the Divine Grace Duchy.
The Divine Grace Duchy was very small. Among the four grand duchies, it was completely dependent on the Tanggulas Empire to maintain itself. However, the flames of war had never reached the Divine Grace Duchy. When Salin's Floating-Space City arrived at Gulo, he didn't even realize that he was about to be attacked.
Salin's Floating-Space City pressed down tightly. It was only more than a thousand meters above the ground. At this height, the Floating-Space City did not need to waste any energy. It only needed to attack with full force.
The Floating-Space City spanned thirty-six miles. Ordinary cities were not so big, even Sacred Rock City was smaller.
Salin's Metatlin was less than ten miles long and wide. This thirty-six miles city blocked the sunlight, as if the night had come early. There were no metal towers below the Floating-Space City. Instead, there were mobile magic cannons.
Salin calculated in the Elemental Magic Tower at the core of the Floating-Space City. There were twelve churches in Gulo, and the defense of each church was not worth mentioning. This city was also a medium-sized city. There were many garrisons, but most of them were troops from the Vatican who had retreated from Jialoulan, so the city was not chaotic.
Attack the twelve churches!
Salin gave the order.
At a distance of only a thousand meters, the magic cannons were fired at full force. Only the Magic Tower could resist for a while. It also depended on how many magic cores were stored in the Magic Tower. Attacking was always easier than defending, and it consumed less energy than defending. The Vatican's divine spells were known as the strongest defense, but it also depended on the situation.
The Magic Tower was much more powerful than the churches. When the mages in the churches discovered the Floating-Space City, they had already made preparations and activated the divine rune arrays in the churches.
After the first round of attacks from the Floating-Space City, there was only one church left of the twelve in the city.
It was personally guarded by the bishop of the city. This was a city with a population of more than a hundred thousand, and it had a Cardinal. However, how could this ninth-rank Cardinal withstand the second round of attacks?
The Controller of the Floating-Space City quickly calculated the defense of the divine rune arrays in the church, added ten more magic cannons, and launched a second round of attacks.
The dome of the church collapsed with a loud bang, and the believers inside fled outside while crying and shouting.
The Cardinal's face was pale. He walked out of the church and pointed at the Floating-Space City in the sky. "Mage, why!"
"No reason. I just want to destroy the Vatican." Salin's voice came from the sky, and the whole city could hear it clearly. This was the Duchy of Divine Grace, and most people were believers.
A child only six or seven years old ran to the Cardinal, raised his head, and shouted at the Floating-Space City, "Are you demons? Are you here to destroy our faith? "
"No, we're just humans. We're here to take back our dignity."
"Dignity?"
"Yes, dignity. Dignity can't be given," Salin replied.
"If I don't give up my faith, will you kill me?" the child asked in a childish voice.
"I only kill those who can fight," Salin replied.
The child turned to the Cardinal and said, "Lord Cardinal, let me be with you, and the demons won't attack you."
"If I were a demon, I would lie." Salin's words stunned the child. He wanted to protect his respected Cardinal, but if he believed the demons, he would fall. If he didn't, the demons would attack the Cardinal regardless of whether he was there or not.
"So, do you want to commit suicide, or do you want the child to die with you?" Salin's voice was cold, released through the Thunder Deterrence. His tone was cold, and no one would doubt his words.
"If I commit suicide, my soul can't go to heaven. I know who you are. At least for now, you won't kill the child, "the Cardinal said softly." But the people around you will. "
He sighed, and his body fell softly. He didn't want to drag the child into this. If it was Salin who spoke, he would let the child go because of his actions.
Seeing the Cardinal commit suicide, Salin was stunned. Then he said to Raphael, "Go get the child. Don't let anyone hurt him."
He didn't think that the Cardinal would really commit suicide to protect a child. According to the law of the Vatican, the soul of a person who committed suicide would go to Purgatory.
"Don't you want to save his soul?" Raphael asked.
"If what the God of Light said is true, then I'll go to his Purgatory and see those sad souls."
Raphael spread her wings and flew to the destroyed church. The magic cannons in the sky didn't attack here anymore. Instead, they attacked the army gathering in the city.
This was an unfair battle. The magic cannons consumed a lot of energy, but there wouldn't be any casualties. Logically speaking, it was indeed a waste to use a complete mid-level magic core to kill a small team of soldiers.
Salin didn't mind such a waste. Only shocking power would make weak believers betray the gods.
If he continued to destroy the church, many believers would change their faith.
But there would also be more believers whose faith became firm. This was a good opportunity for them to enter Heaven.
Salin wouldn't give these stubborn people any chance. Both the Thunder Dragon Spear and the Lightning Domain could damage souls. Broken souls couldn't enter Heaven. At most, they would become pests.
After destroying the church here and killing some soldiers who tried to gather, Salin drove the floating city away.
The next target was only a hundred kilometers away. He could reach it in half an hour.
It was a small town with a population of less than ten thousand and only one church. This church, however, was built majestically. The pointed tower was plated with gold.
"It seems that your faith is quite firm." Salin seemed to be laughing at himself. More than twenty magic cannons fired at the same time, and the church collapsed in the light of magic.
There wouldn't be any experts stationed in such a small place, even if it had a history. It was quite easy to destroy.
It turned out that Salin didn't dare to do so because he was afraid of revenge from the Vatican. Now he wasn't afraid. Metatlin City was as solid as a rock. His trusted people and relatives had all moved to the demiplane.
