In the City of Angels, the core building was a huge metal tower. This was a prison, and it was more than a hundred stories tall. Only mages could build such a terrifying metal building.
Each story was twenty-four meters tall, and the area of this metal tower was almost the size of a castle.
These huge buildings were all under the control of Manipulators. Unless Goddess Myers personally came to destroy them, there was no way to conquer this plane.
Salin came to the metal tower. At this time, his followers were no longer around. Zola and the others had gone to guard the various planes. Salin believed that Myers would not attack them one by one, but would come to him directly.
Although he was not as strong as Myers, he had a way to destroy her church, and it was not impossible for him to kill her followers to vent his anger. People who had reached this level of strength would not do such meaningless things.
The Manipulators in the metal tower, however, worshipped Salin as their god. The design of the magic net might not be a good thing for humans, but for Imps, Tamed Demons, and demons, it was the fastest way to increase their strength. These creatures with demonic bloodlines were no match for Greater Demons in the Demonic Plane. They were always being chased and were born to be prey.
The magic net consumed life and future, but they did not care about life and death. They only wanted to obtain power and live to their heart's content.
Abilius also returned. Although he was unwilling to follow Salin, he was now tightly tied to Salin's chariot. He had already heard from Dante about the conflict between Salin and Goddess Myers. The Goddess definitely wanted to obtain the God of Light's Kingdom. As for why she had not made a move yet, Dante was not sure.
Even if Abilius was mentally retarded, he was very clear about the needs of gods. As a servant god, he was not willing to give up the benefits of the God of Light's Kingdom. The God of Light's Kingdom was something even a powerful level-16 god would be envious of.
If it were Abilius, he would also not hesitate to declare war on Salin.
Salin said to Abilius, "The God of Light's campaign is nearing its end. You are no longer of use to me."
Abilius had originally wanted to negotiate with Salin to break free from Dante's control. Now that he heard Salin, he immediately knelt and expressed his eternal loyalty to Salin. Of course, they would also listen to Dante's commands.
How could Salin trust this fickle fellow? Abilius' talent was better than Raphael's, but this servant deity who was an angel was rather hard to control.
It wasn't that Abilius was ambitious, but that he didn't know what he wanted.
Whenever he saw envious people or envious status, he would be tempted.
Salin was helpless against such a person, so he could only add another layer of insurance. He had given Abilius the Eternal Control Fragment he had refined using his divine spark, adding another shackle to the gray-winged god.
After dealing with Abilius, Salin summoned Nelis and the Winged Skeleton. The two contracted creatures had almost evolved to the peak of their abilities. Both of them were at the pinnacle of level-16, but the two of them were not on the same evolutionary path. Nelis had to continue collecting other abilities, while the Winged Skeleton could rely on the great power provided by the Undead Plane to become the most powerful Undead in history.
The innate disadvantage of the undead was their soul fire.
The most powerful Undead was level-17. The Winged Skeleton's soul fire had already materialized, and it was no worse than a human's complete soul. Therefore, this skeleton could advance to level-18.
Salin's Metatlin City had now become a purely commercial city. The Metatlin Kingdom had monopolized the magic core business in the Frozen Sea. No matter how many magical beasts there were on land, there was a limit, and the sea had no boundaries.
Alchemy City's Elemental Hand had finally been rebuilt with Salin's support.
The two Mage groups were vaguely opposed, but they were both controlled by the same person.
Low-level mages didn't understand this. They just had one more choice. They would choose to stay in whatever lifestyle they liked.
However, whether it was Metatlin City or Alchemy City, they would reject Mages with ordinary talent.
Such Mages were left with two choices. One was to go to Kushui Commandery and become a Life Mage, and the other was to go to Daliang City and become a Controller.
Basically, most Mages had difficulty advancing because of the defects in their Magic Strings. This was a congenital problem. Unless they could waste countless resources like Salin, they could only continue on the path of magic.
For a hundred years, Myers hadn't made a move. Salin believed that Myers was planning to leave the main continent.
But would he pay the price of the Holy Kingdom?
Impossible. Myers leaving didn't mean that the Myers Continent was safe. If she took away the shrine in the Purgatory Desert, the origin power of the Myers Continent would probably disappear.
Let Myers abandon her shrine? In that case, Myers' life would be shortened by a million times. A level-18 God might not be able to live longer than Salin.
For Salin, the best news was that Rex's Fifth Dynasty had stabilized. The hundred-year campaign wasn't limited to the Holy Kingdom. The war on the Myers Continent hadn't stopped, either.
However, Rex didn't use a large number of troops to deal with the forces that refused to submit. Instead, he used the method of concentrating the experts to solve the problem.
As the Fifth Dynasty stabilized, Rex's own secret technique made continuous breakthroughs. Now, he was a level-17 expert. With Rex's help, Salin was more confident in dealing with Goddess Myers.
It was said that the difference in levels was especially obvious at this level, but Salin wasn't worried. This was because he, Rex, and his teacher all relied on the power of secret techniques.
Up until now, the Fifth Dynasty had ruled the entire continent. The power that Rex could absorb had already reached the peak. There was no point in being an emperor anymore. To advance to level-18, Rex could only rely on comprehending higher-level rules to have a breakthrough.
Originally, Salin planned to let Rex sit in this position until level-18. However, after going to the edge of the crystal wall, Salin understood that if he wanted to advance, he had to find a way in the Chaotic Galaxy.
If he, Rex, Sicar, and Nelis went to the Chaotic Galaxy, there would definitely be a chance to advance to level-18. However, it would take a long time. By the time they returned, Myers would have already ruled the continent again. The Fifth Dynasty, like the previous dynasties, would also collapse.
Just as he was hesitating whether to return to Metatlin City to see Sicar first, or go to Holy Rock City to see Rex, Rex sent a message from Holy Rock City. The Goddess' envoy had already arrived at Holy Rock City and wanted to see Salin.
Of course, the Goddess knew Salin's location. However, she didn't want to start a war directly, so she used a more gentle method.
To her, the Myers Continent was also her hometown. Moreover, this main continent was now named after her. Before reaching the final step, Myers definitely didn't want to destroy this continent.
If she fought with Salin directly, regardless of the consequences, Salin could completely destroy the Myers Continent.
For Salin and Myers, both sides were faced with a difficult choice. With Myers' current power, she could naturally leave the Myers Continent with her followers and Nature Legion and go to other planes.
In this crystal wall, there was more than one main continent plane. However, if she left, she wouldn't give up on the Temple. This was the condition for negotiating with Salin.
Salin thought for a while. He didn't summon his subordinates who had gone to many subcontinents. Instead, he directly brought Abilius and the other troops who had fought in the Holy Kingdom back to Holy Rock City.
Holy Rock City was now preparing for Rex's abdication. What surprised Salin was that the successor to the throne was somewhat unruly. Sephiroth.
Sephiroth was Rex's biological uncle. It had never happened in any dynasty that an uncle would inherit the throne.
There weren't many people who objected, mainly because they couldn't find a more suitable successor. In the past hundred years, Rex rarely interfered with political affairs. It was Sephiroth who presided over it. Although Sephiroth didn't arrange any trusted aides, in the hearts of the people, his position was already second only to Rex.
To find a more suitable successor than Sephiroth, the opposition also didn't have any good ideas.
The Golden Plain was holed up, seemingly waiting for an opportunity.
In such a chaotic moment, no mages on the Golden Plain stood up to stop them.
Under such circumstances, Salin's return was of great significance to the Fifth Dynasty. Because Salin's words could affect Rex, and most people too.
There were many kingdoms under the rule of the Fifth Dynasty, but on the Myers Continent, the only kingdom was the Metatlin Kingdom. The other kingdoms that belonged to the Fifth Dynasty were all on subcontinents.
In the laws of the Fifth Dynasty, it was clearly written that there would never be a war between the Fifth Dynasty and the Metatlin Kingdom.
Because of this power, everyone was looking forward to Salin's return. Salin didn't use the teleportation array, nor did he use any of his spatial abilities. Instead, he flew all the way back with the army.
Holy Rock City was still magnificent, but in Salin's eyes, it didn't feel as indestructible as before. He had advanced to level-17, and he felt that he was no longer in the category of a human. Although a city of this scale was magnificent, it couldn't withstand the destruction of a powerhouse above level-16.
Myers' messenger was waiting in the palace. The messenger wasn't in a hurry. The goddess' Natural Army had completely recovered. Even if Salin advanced to level-18, it didn't matter. In the end, he would have to fight the goddess personally.
More people? Myers wasn't afraid of anyone. The Natural Army was endless. As long as the goddess was here, all the dead warriors would be resurrected the next day when the sun rose.
Salin first met with Rex. After spending the night in the palace, he summoned the goddess' messenger the next day.
The meeting place was on the only Magic Tower in the palace, which was Rex's residence.
