Such a large cake cannot be swallowed alone.
To transport this back, the strength of the Northern Witch and Arendelle must be relied upon. If Soren collaborates with the Princess, it should greatly reduce the consumption of divine power while avoiding the potential for disaster.
There is also the issue of the asteroid’s intense radiation.
This requires a massive protective energy barrier, along with an isolation zone. The source of radiation should be the Annihilation Material; as long as Soren takes away the crystals and diamonds on the surface of the Annihilation Material, the radiation shouldn’t be that terrifying. The birth and destruction of matter is a very long process; theoretically, many existing planes also have the potential for destruction. The birth of much Annihilation Material is caused by the collapse of certain semifinite planes. When a semifinite plane is about to d*e, a large amount of matter and energy will severely contract, and a phenomenon similar to a “black hole” will form inside, which ultimately connects to the distorted void. Finally, when the entire plane or divine kingdom is destroyed and annihilated, the severely collapsed and contracted elements will give birth to Annihilation Material.
They are things that mortals find difficult to touch.
Excessive radiation will k*ll mortals; only high-level legends and deities will pay attention to these things.
Some demigod liches will attempt to use Annihilation Material as a life box. In this case, unless it is a deity, ordinary people simply cannot destroy the life box, and they can continuously resurrect themselves.
“It seems I need to meet with the Princess.”
If they want to transport this crystalized asteroid back, the human and material resources required will be astonishing. Modo City is unlikely to be able to spare so many spellcasters to accomplish this. Soren must borrow some Ice Witches from Arendelle and also involve a portion of the high-level witches from the Northern Tower.
As for the distribution of benefits, it’s straightforward; just cutting a portion of the surface diamonds will be enough to pay for the rewards!
Moo~!
The cries of the Astral Whale echoed.
Soren turned around and saw the distant sand of the Astral Realm ripple, and then another larger Astral Whale appeared, seemingly fighting for position.
The two Astral Whales battled in the void!
They followed the asteroid, not wanting to leave its trajectory, but they also seemed afraid to get too close.
“Energy radiation?”
Soren seemed to recall something, murmuring, “Astral creatures seem to consume a lot of energy radiation as food; this Astral Whale seems to really like the radiation but is also a bit afraid? It looks like they cannot withstand such intense radiation!”
Even Soren’s saint form could not withstand this radiation; these Astral Whales probably couldn’t take it either.
They only dared to follow from a distance, enjoying the dispersing radiation energy.
Now, a much more powerful Astral Whale seemed to have targeted this place, ready to contest for position. The life force of Astral Whales is more impressive than that of giant dragons, and killing them is a thankless job, not to mention it doesn’t have much value.
An Astral Whale only has a legendary core and will teleport away when faced with the threat of d*ath.
Basically, all living beings encountered in the Astral Realm are close to legendary, and Soren would have to fight his way deep inside their bodies to k*ll such creatures.
“Forget it for now.”
The energy radiation that Soren was enduring had already exceeded a thousand points; even his energy shield was down. He directly cast the spell of plane teleportation to prepare to return, planning to come back after everything was ready on that end to see if it would be necessary to deal with these Astral Whales.
A light appeared.
When Soren regained his senses, he found himself standing in an expanse of void.
“Eh?”
“Where is this?”
Soren looked around in surprise. Before him was an endless sky; at a glance, he could tell this was not the Material Plane because he could hardly see any land, only vast expanses of clouds stretching for thousands of kilometers, with thunderstorm clouds in the distance, and the wind element in the air was exceedingly active.
Some winged elemental elves flew past from the horizon, and he could faintly see a floating island suspended in the air.
This was not an artificially created Floating Island.
It was a Floating Island formed due to the nature of the plane.
“This seems to be the Wind Elemental Plane?”
The gravity in this world was very small.
Within the visible range, there was an endless sea of clouds, with almost no land or ocean below—only an infinite sky. The wind element was extraordinarily active here, and most of the creatures seen within the perception range of deities had wings. Because gravity in the Wind Elemental Plane is so low, if it rains, the raindrops would fall directly in the air and then gradually evaporate, reforming as cloud masses at a lower altitude.
This is a world shrouded in clouds.
The entire Wind Elemental Plane has very few lands; most of it is the territory of the Wind Giants, who are relatively easygoing beings that build their fortresses out of material chunks (as long as they are solid).
In the absence of material, the residents of the Wind Elemental Plane will use ice as building materials.
“Is there a teleportation disturbance?”
Soren stood in the sky lost in thought, muttering, “Is it that gravity or energy distorted the spatial structure, thus interfering with the teleportation? If so, this could be a bit troublesome!”
The Wind Elemental Plane is not a place to linger.
Soren directly activated the teleportation lock to Modo City and then vanished from this world.
Not long after he left, a Wind Giant covered in demigod pressure appeared nearby, wondering, “Has a deity visited the Wind Elemental Plane? But it seems they have already left.”
Having said that, it disappeared in place.
Wind Giants are lazy creatures; they only actively participated once during the battle against the Bottomless Abyss, spending the long ages living their little lives.
………………
Modo City, Arcane Tower.
As soon as Soren returned, Gloria approached him and softly asked, “How is it?”
Soren’s avatar disappeared, and then his main body stood up and said, “The harvest is more incredible than expected! But the difficulty is also great! Just relying on our strength probably won’t work.”
After saying that, he briefly introduced the situation of the asteroid.
Including the super strong radiation, gravitational forces over fifty times stronger, and the accompanying Astral Whales.
“Such strong gravity?”
Upon hearing this, Gloria frowned and said softly, “If the gravity is that strong, ordinary people basically cannot approach it.”
“Can it be cut and brought back?”
Soren shook his head, “The consumption is too great. Its structure is extremely hard; just the outer layer is close to steel hardness. My divine power cannot support the cutting; using weapons would be incredibly slow.”
Gloria fell into deep thought, and after a long while, she raised her head and said, “So you plan to send it to the Shadow Plane first?”
Soren nodded.
Gloria said softly, “The impact will be too great! The Shadow Plane will likely find it very hard to bear.”
With the elements collapsing to such an extent, this asteroid would not be much smaller than a semifinite plane. Impacting the Shadow Plane would definitely cause disaster.
“What else can be done?” Soren shrugged.
Gloria thought for a while and then suddenly spoke to the air, “Tower Spirit! Calculate the endurance capacity of the Maze under full operation! And the energy required to fully activate the Maze!”
Maze?
Gloria’s words suddenly opened a new line of thought for Soren.
He looked up in surprise, “Are you planning to use the Maze to reduce its impact?”
Gloria nodded, “It can be tried.”
“If possible, we could try to create an anti-gravity barrier and then place a massive floating ring on it, using your divine power to operate it; that should minimize the impact.”
Floating ring?
That is a good idea.
The floating ring can greatly reduce the impact of the asteroid upon entering the Shadow Plane, combined with the energy from the Maze and the divine power of Soren and the Princess, it might allow it to ‘land safely’ in the Shadow Plane.
It can be tried.
Soren immediately had ideas and raised his head, “I’ll go see the Princess now; you are responsible for contacting the Eye of the North.”
“I believe they will be interested in this.”
Women find it hard to resist diamonds.
Especially such a large one!
Soren is confident he can persuade the Princess, and the Ice Witches have a significant demand for diamonds.
Based on Soren’s assessment of the asteroid, even if a portion of the benefits is distributed, his gains would be enough to create thousands of Diamond Golems. Of course, not all the diamonds can be put into that; the alchemical technology during the Arcane Empire era also required the consumption of diamonds.
“To bear its weight, the floating ring must be very massive.”
Gloria thought for a while and said, “My mother is currently in the City of Imprints; it won’t work with just my strength. You better be able to persuade the Princess to assist me.”
The Princess is also one of the top spellcasters.
Gloria needs the Princess’s divine power to help complete this huge floating ring, which was initially planned to be placed over the entire Modo Island, with a maximum bearing area roughly equivalent to half the size of Taiwan.
Gloria continued, “This floating ring consists of one main ring and 35 auxiliary rings.”
“Currently, there are 12 usable auxiliary rings.”
“The progress of the main ring is only about 50% complete! We need a large amount of mithril and fine gold!”
To harvest, one must first invest.
Soren frowned and thought, “I’ll find a way for that.”
Modo City has reserves of mithril and fine gold, but it cannot meet such large consumption. It seems he will have to think of ways from Arendelle’s treasury.
This already diamondized asteroid cannot be abandoned.
Once Soren obtains it, he can immediately start large-scale production of Diamond Golems; by then, the combat power of Modo City will see a terrifying increase!
One might even say he already has a chance to withstand the Saint’s Cataclysm.
………………
Withering Wilderness.
A figure shrouded in a black robe suddenly appeared, its pale pupils flickering with the fire of souls, and its entire skeletal frame seemed as if it were about to fall apart.
“d*mn magic and d*ath goddess!”
“This *! She who only wants to steal the fruits of d*ath! How did she find me?”
“Narak?”
“Did she betray me?”
The figure cloaked in black robes is a lich, and its staff bears the emblem of a ‘lich skull with a crowned smile, set against a solid black hexagon.’
