"Perhaps Amy's soul didn't suit the Devil's taste, or perhaps that Devil was a good Devil?"
Even Lin Yun didn't believe his own guess. Lord Sean rolled his eyes and didn't say anything, but his expression seemed to be considering the rationality of this possibility.
Even the Holy Light Walkers, who had the strongest and purest faith, could have fallen. In that case, it wasn't impossible for a Devil to occasionally betray the Devil's faith and become a good Devil.
The Soul Altar was destroyed, and the layer of soul space around it was also destroyed. Lin Yun flew over with Lord Sean, and Amy's illusory soul floated there in a daze.
The Soul Altar had been set up very smoothly, and the countless Specters had been used as nourishment. It had been unprecedentedly smooth, and in the end, he had sacrificed his own soul and summoned the main body of a Devil Overlord. Everything had gone smoothly. As long as the Devil Overlord's main body came out, no, as long as half of it came out, he would be able to get rid of all the creatures here.
But in the end, the Demon Overlord's soul was spat out. Then, in order to avoid any remaining information, the Demon Overlord's aura was burned several times with Hell's Flames, and only after all of the Demon Overlord's aura was it thrown back …
Amy's faith had collapsed, and she was stunned. It was as if she had suddenly seen a Devil that was even purer than the Holy Light Walkers, a fallen Devil that had completely abandoned the Devil's instincts, and a top-notch Devil Overlord at that?
Lin Yun looked at the completely stunned Amy's soul with pity, and shook his head. This fellow might as well just die. All her beliefs and beliefs had collapsed, and this was even more tragic than being tortured in the Devil's stomach for tens of thousands of years.
"Lord Sean, I'll leave it to you."
Lord Sean laughed strangely, and turned into a ray of light that tore open Amy's soul and drilled in. A dozen seconds later, Amy's soul suddenly collapsed, and it turned into light spots that dissipated. Lord Sean flew back with a displeased expression.
"Damn, this bastard's soul is about to collapse, and with the Hellfire burning it, there's only a bit of information left. It's a pity that I couldn't find out what's going on with that Devil Overlord …"
"Tell me, what did you find?"
"Do you still remember the Shadow Tower? Two of the people from the Shadow Tower that you killed were relatives of this hybrid bloodline. Moreover, the Shadow Tower seems to have a close relationship with the Rose Circle. They both belong to the same force.
When they were in the Kingdom of Andalusia, they couldn't take revenge even if they wanted to. But when you came to the Odin Kingdom, they were ready to take revenge. They used the power of souls to provoke the Rodney Family and then bewitched the Roosevelt Merchant Alliance. Unfortunately, it was useless.
Therefore, they were prepared to take action personally. They did not know the name of the power that they had attached themselves to. That fellow's soul had already collapsed by more than half. With just a little bit of effort, he would completely collapse.
In any case, they were called the headquarters. The Shadow Tower was controlled by someone from the headquarters, and the Rose Circle was also controlled by someone from the headquarters. These two had a good relationship, so they let the Rose Circle take revenge …
"They seemed to have something important to do recently, so they didn't have time to waste. They were already prepared to give up on taking revenge on you, but that Amy was unwilling and took action himself. That's about it …"
Shawn's words were messy, but Lin Yun understood most of it. But Lin Yun had a vague impression of the people from the Shadow Tower that Amy mentioned, but he forgot their names. In any case, they were killed.
With Amy's death, the soul seal here thoroughly collapsed. Everything subsequently collapsed and dissipated, and the fog also started to disperse. The manor and the castle had already been thoroughly destroyed, and all the magic herbs within a few kilometers had also been destroyed. Not a single Shrieking Specter could be found, and the three Patriarchs had fainted in the destroyed medicinal field.
Wilder was lying three kilometers away like a dead dog. His face was as pale as a sheet of paper, and his soul fluctuations were chaotic. No one knew where Reynolds had run off to. After the seal collapsed, that guy was nowhere to be seen.
Lin Yun ignored the three Patriarchs that ran away as soon as the battle started. He flew to Wilder's side and looked at the seemingly uninjured Wilder. That guy's pupils were continuously dilating, which was clearly a sign that his soul had been damaged. It wasn't easy for him to resist the attack of those crazy Shrieking Specters for such a long time. It was fate that a steel mage didn't die when facing these things that specialized in attacking the soul.
Lin Yun took out a bit of Mana Water and poured it down Wilder's throat. After a few seconds, Wilder looked like a corpse coming back to life as he took a deep breath. After seeing Lin Yun, Wilder's face turned even paler as he stuttered to explain.
"Lord Merlin, this matter really has nothing to do with me, I was framed …"
Lin Yun waved his hand.
"Alright, go back and recuperate, I still have things to do."
After saying that, Lin Yun left with Lord Sean. Wilder looked at Lin Yun's back with his mouth agape and heaved a sigh of relief.
'I knew it, how could Lord Merlin be fooled by those idiots? He must have seen that this matter has nothing to do with me, I was also framed.'
'I don't know what happened just now. So many Shrieking Specters had surrounded and attacked Lord Merlin, but Lord Merlin's aura was very calm, as if he hadn't gone through a battle at all. With so many Shrieking Specters, unless it was a mage that specialized in dealing with soul creatures, even if the ancestor personally appeared, it would be a headache.'
'But Lord Merlin is completely fine. That bitch Amy must have also died. Could it be that the sacrificial array she set up was useless?' 'Impossible, I clearly felt the aura of a sacrificial offering, as well as the terrifying aura of a Devil Overlord, but it's gone now. It must have been Lord Merlin's victory …'
'Truly terrifying, even the ancestor wouldn't have been able to get rid of such a situation so easily. But now, that bitch Amy is dead, there's nothing left …'
'Fortunately, I didn't continue to provoke Mafa Merlin, or else I would have really died …'
'This time, Lord Merlin didn't take advantage of the opportunity to kill me, so I should be safe. As long as I don't provoke him again, there shouldn't be any more problems …'
Wilder smiled. He didn't care about the weakness of his soul and leisurely flew towards the Rodney Family.
A dozen kilometers away, Reynolds was hiding and watching. When he saw Wilder leisurely flying away and the mist around the manor dissipating, a trace of shock appeared on his face.
'Damnit, wasn't the main body of a Devil Overlord summoned? How did it end here? There isn't even the slightest ominous aura left. Could it be that the Devil Overlord was already eliminated?
'Wilder is actually still alive, yet Mafa Merlin didn't take advantage of the opportunity to kill him. It looks like that Mafa Merlin isn't as cruel as the rumors say. Damnit, I should have taken advantage of this opportunity to help Mafa Merlin. Maybe after easing the relationship, our Roosevelt Merchant Alliance would have been able to get a supply of the Universal Cores from the Gilded Rose.
'It's all over now. Even if Mafa Merlin knows that I was framed by that bitch Amy, he might not be able to ease the relationship with the Roosevelt Merchant Alliance.
'This is an opportunity to ease the relationship. The Rose Ring might retaliate once again. Hmm, I'll use the name of the Roosevelt Merchant Alliance to warn them. Summoning the main body of a Devil Spirit Bead outside of Neverwinter City is against the rules. Right, this will arouse public anger.'
Reynolds stealthily left. After returning, he immediately issued an announcement in the name of the Roosevelt Merchant Alliance.
He condemned the Rose Ring for summoning the main body of a Devil Overlord outside of Neverwinter City. Although they didn't succeed, the land outside of Neverwinter City was polluted for a few kilometers, and it was the best medicine garden.
Reynolds issued such an announcement, but he didn't mention the Gilded Rose or Lin Yun. On the other side, Wilder also issued an announcement in the name of the Rodney Family. From now on, he would enter a hostile state with the Rose Ring. The other side had summoned the main body of a Devil Overlord and almost killed him.
Two major forces issued an announcement at the same time, this matter couldn't be fake. Soon, the Starry Sky College dispatched people to investigate and found traces of a soul altar, as well as traces of a sacrifice. There were even traces of a first-rate Devil Overlord.
Although they didn't know what happened in the end and why the summoning didn't succeed, this still scared many people, especially those in Neverwinter City. This was the largest city in the northern part of the Odin Kingdom. If a first-rate Devil Overlord appeared next to Neverwinter City, the losses would be incalculable. A few dozen Heaven Rank powerhouses would be letting that Devil Overlord down.
After the Starry Sky College's investigation team released the results of their investigation, the Rose Ring could no longer stay in the northern part of the Odin Kingdom. Almost all the forces were rejecting the Rose Ring on the surface. The Starry Sky College and a few major forces jointly issued an announcement to make the Rose Ring give a satisfactory explanation for this matter.
The Rose Ring originally hadn't reached the northern part of the Odin Kingdom, but now, it was even more difficult to travel in the northern part of the Odin Kingdom. The remnants of the Rose Ring all retreated.
Lin Yun no longer paid attention to these matters. There were many unsolvable problems in the research of the magic battleships, and these were things that Lin Yun had to personally handle. Crafting magic battleships and developing new planes were the most important things at the moment.
He couldn't keep relying on others for raw materials. Having his own complete source of raw materials was the most important thing. This was already the main reason restricting the development of the Gilded Rose.
Lin Yun didn't care that the Rose Ring didn't make any movements. Amy was already dead, and this matter was largely caused by Amy's decision. The Rose Ring couldn't say anything about this matter. Moreover, they seemed to have more important matters to deal with.
After arriving at the Raging Flame Plane's research center, Lin Yun was surrounded by a large group of people.
"Sir Merlin, although the large-scale mana reactor made according to this material is frighteningly powerful, and the mana output is enough to support the mana needs of a large-scale city, it doesn't meet the requirements for the core fuel.
"Using mana crystals, even level 40 mana crystals, can only display 65% of the mana reactor's power. Using mana crystals, even the best ones, can only display 72% of the power.
"Not only is the consumption huge, but the damage to the mana reactor is also huge. The overall power of the magic battleship will be weakened by half, completely unable to meet expectations …"
"Sir Merlin, there is no problem with the design of the weapon system, but the choice of cannonball and barrel is a big problem. If the barrel is too long, it'll be easy to damage it, and if it's too short, it won't be able to display its power. The same goes for the cannonball, the acceleration of the electromagnetic cannon is too strong, the cannonball won't be able to bear it …"
"Navigation is also a big problem. Without a complete navigation system, it's easy to get lost flying in the endless void …"
The group of people surrounded Lin Yun, giving Lin Yun a headache.
"Don't quarrel, one by one, let's go to Fantasia's place first."
They arrived at Fantacy and Pinocchio's alchemy laboratory. A dozen-meter-tall mana reactor was fixed to the ground, and the floor was made of the hardest anti-magic material to ensure safety and interference to the greatest extent.
A mana reactor couldn't directly produce a huge amount of mana, it needed a basic fuel to satisfy the reaction of the mana reactor.
At least in this era, with the limitations of materials and basic technology, it was very difficult to manufacture a higher grade mana reactor.
Fantasia took out two fist-sized Mana Crystals and added them into the Mana Reactor. Soon, the massive amount of Mana generated by the Mana Reactor was transmitted to the entire Research Center along the predetermined route.
The huge mana fluctuations were comparable to a 3rd Rank Heaven Puppet's mana reactor in terms of quality, but the quantity was a few thousand times greater.
Lin Yun stood on the side, carefully sensing the changes within the mana reactor and monitoring the data recorded by the surrounding alchemy machinery. Soon, he frowned.
"This is due to the impurities within the fuel. I'll prepare high-purity mana crystals. You can continue your research according to the current train of thought."
After throwing a few dozen mana crystals condensed within the Demiplane's mana lake, Lin Yun no longer cared about this matter.
The Demiplane's mana lake was filled with pure liquid mana, and as the mana converged, a lot of mana crystals also condensed. These were the purest crystals condensed from the purest mana and could be said to be the purest mana crystals. They were also the most perfect fuel for a mana reactor.
But there weren't many of these mana crystals. Using them as fuel for a magic battleship was truly a waste. Moreover, a magic battleship didn't need a few grains of fuel.
In this newly developed plane, pure fuel could be found. This was also one of the reasons why he chose this plane.
After leaving Fantasia and Pinocchio's alchemy laboratory, he went to the Firerock Dwarves' weapons research laboratory.
"Sir Merlin, the research on the Hand of Destruction already had some results. We used the results of the research to improve the laser cannon. The range of the laser cannon has been greatly increased, and its speed is very fast. It can be used as a main weapon.
"But there is a problem with the electromagnetic cannon designed by Sir Merlin. According to the data given by Sir Merlin, we speculate that if we want the electromagnetic cannon to reach the kind of power Sir Merlin described, we can only increase the barrel without increasing the acceleration. The barrel might be over five kilometers long, but there is a limit.
"It still can't reach the kind of power Sir Merlin described …"
The Master Alchemist explaining on the side had an ashamed expression. They already had the model, but they still couldn't produce the results of the research. This was undoubtedly a very shameful matter.
Lin Yun shook his head and looked at the electromagnetic cannon made by his subordinates. The finished product was already five hundred meters long. Such a long barrel could easily be damaged. If the barrel was damaged, the electromagnetic cannon would be useless.
"I'll take care of the cannonball. Since we can't lengthen the barrel, we'll make an alchemy device and use it to produce a Mana Cannon barrel. It'll be even more powerful, and the barrel can be lengthened to even longer than it is now.
"I'll solve the problem of the materials, you guys research it."
As the research continued, Lin Yun also entered the alchemy laboratory and kept experimenting with new materials.
It would be impossible to find new materials that could be used directly, so he could only use new fusion materials. But he knew the proportions of those fusion materials, but the production technique was a very strict matter. Even if he had read the records, it wouldn't be easy to produce them.
After a month of research, Lin Yun experimented with five new materials. Although they weren't as perfect as the ones in his memory, they were enough to deal with the current situation.
After handing the materials over to the alchemy team, Lin Yun no longer cared about these matters. The current alchemy team of the Gilded Rose could definitely compare to the best alchemy teams in Noscent.
Although there were very few Artisan level alchemists and they couldn't compare to some veteran alchemists, this was at least a good start.
Two months later, the Intrepid left the Raging Flame Plane and appeared in the endless void. With the Intrepid as the center, it started constructing a star chart of the endless void, marking coordinates and scouting for dangers.
The newly crafted magic battleships were also experimented and adjusted during this process. With the Intrepid's escort, the magic battleships didn't encounter any dangers during the adjustment phase.
The three newly crafted magic battleships were all only three hundred meters long and covered in dense magic patterns. They looked like three cuboids.
Lin Yun didn't care about these matters. He was still holed up in the alchemy laboratory and researching truth runes in the Demiplane.
The research of truth runes had been progressing a lot faster recently, and the number of truth runes he had researched already reached five thousand. All the truth runes he had comprehended were engraved on the pillar. The Demiplane's essence had been evolving, but its size hadn't changed much.
The Darkness Law was about to be born and everything was progressing very quickly.
