…………
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Just before the war against the undead began on the Southern Coast, Soren, the Princess, Gloria, and the Eye of the North had also started executing their plan to intercept the Diamond Planet.
Endless Astral Realm.
Amidst a dreamlike and brilliant galaxy, Soren’s figure first appeared near the teleportation marker, followed by a golden radiance, with the Princess appearing beside him. During this period, the Princess had been staying in Modo; Soren prepared a special luxurious room for her. However, it was unclear if it was due to the arrival of the Princess, but winter unexpectedly came early to the Overseas Islands.
The day after the Princess settled in.
It started to snow lightly in Modo, and a beautiful scene of silver-clad nature appeared.
Soren could feel that the Princess’s divine profession had a strong interference in the mortal realm, and it was likely that after the Saint’s Cataclysm ended, she would be among the first group of deities needing to return to the Divine Kingdom immediately. Because if she resumed her True God form, even if she did nothing, the seasons in the entire Frozen Kingdom could be stuck in winter for over half the year.
“Is this the place?”
As soon as the Princess appeared, she frowned, then raised a divine power shield, questioning, “Such strong negative energy radiation? There must be not only diamonds in here, but also some other evil substances!”
Soren remained silent in his heart.
Such strong radiation must have other causes; based on his conjectures, it was likely that there was something with a strong radioactive nature like an ‘axis’ in this multiverse. To some extent, the stronger the micro-particle superposition, the stronger the radiation. Thus, Annihilation Material generally possessed curse effects, which only Legendary beings could offset; mortals holding it would easily age and d*e.
In the distance, two more Astral Whales appeared.
It seemed that during this time, other Astral Whales had discovered this meteorite, yet they still did not dare to approach.
“Let’s get started.” With a wave of her hand, the surrounding temperature dropped significantly.
Soren nodded, extending an energy protective shield, and soon Gloria’s figure appeared. During this period, her interaction with the Princess had gone relatively well, mainly because she had grasped a portion of the Wizard field, and the Princess herself was also part-time an Ice Witch. The structure of the Magic Network provided plenty of inspiration to Gloria from the Princess, and from Gloria, the Princess learned a lot of special knowledge. For instance, just yesterday she created a finished product, a living alchemical construct known as the Ice Golem, along with a lower-level Ice Puppet.
The Princess’s power was very unique.
She could construct a body entirely made of ice in the blink of an eye, and if she wished, she could infuse it with a trace of divine power or inject it with a Soul Crystal to bring it to life.
This was a terrifying combat power.
It meant the Princess could conjure thousands of Ice Golems out of thin air for battle!
However.
This ability also had a fatal flaw, which was the requirement for environment and temperature. Ice Golems would be damaged or melt in a high-temperature environment and could only move freely below zero degrees Celsius. This meant they could only fight in specific environments, but they also had many advantages, such as the ability to self-repair their bodies.
This seemed to be effective only in cold regions!
“Ugh!”
Even with Soren’s energy protection, Gloria’s face turned pale upon arriving. It was an unavoidable situation; even though she usually seemed active and appeared to have good stamina when sparring with Soren, her constitution was only around 15 points, and even with energy protection, she could still feel the fear nearby harming her body.
“Don’t delay!”
The Princess urged with a frown, “The negative energy here is too strong. Your situation is very special now; you mustn’t be directly affected. Finish up and leave quickly.”
After speaking, she inevitably glanced at Gloria’s abdomen.
Soren seemed to sense something but did not speak. This was not the time for such discussions; the entire Saint’s Cataclysm period was not suitable for this topic.
Gloria was also startled.
Then, with a wave of her hand, several rings appeared; using ‘Mage Hand,’ she controlled the rings into the ground rapidly, while Soren was responsible for cutting the surface, arranging the floating rings within.
Thirty-six floating rings were arranged.
The entire Diamond Planet trembled; this indicated that the plan was feasible, and Soren excitedly said, “You go back to prepare.”
“Next, it’s up to us.”
After speaking, Soren and the Princess exchanged glances.
——“Saint Form!”
As Gloria teleported away, both the Princess and Soren entered their Saint Form simultaneously.
——“Change Space 【Divine Power】!”
——“Change Reality 【Divine Power】!”
——“Astral Teleportation 【Divine Power】!”
——“Plane Teleportation 【Divine Power】!”
Massive divine power surfaced as Soren and the Princess simultaneously activated multiple divine powers, enveloping the entire Diamond Planet in it.
Then, with a wave of his hand, Soren commanded, “【Shadows】!”
The void ahead opened.
Then, a dim world appeared in the trajectory of the small planet, accompanied by a beam of divine light. Suddenly, the meteorite vanished from the Astral Realm, and the following Astral Whales became restless.
Meanwhile.
Near the tall tower in the Shadow Plane, Gloria and the Eye of the North were also on high alert!
“Teleportation has started.”
Standing at the top of the Arcane Tower, Gloria waved her hand, and over ten energy circles manifested. She said solemnly, “Tower Spirit! Activate the Elemental Furnace! Operate the Maze at full power! Open the protective barrier!”
“Activate the ‘Anti-Gravity’ Shield!”
“Increase energy protection to maximum! Raise the Maze! Prepare to face the impact!”
A brilliant fireball appeared.
At the moment of entering the Shadow Plane, the entire Diamond Planet began to burn fiercely.
The semi-crystalline surface quickly melted, revealing the internal diamond structure. Soren and the Princess exchanged glances and nodded simultaneously, and then two golden giants rose into the sky.
——“Change Form! 【Divine Power】”
——“Area Divine Power Shield!”
Just relying on the power of the Maze was insufficient; to retrieve this planet intact, Soren still needed to utilize the power of the area divine power shield.
Two divine power shields unfolded.
Accompanied by an incredibly intense heat, the first wave of impact arrived.
Buzz!
It felt as if it had collided with an invisible energy barrier, and the entire Diamond Planet trembled violently, experiencing some fractures and collapses, reducing its size to about one kilometer.
Brilliant white light appeared on all the floating rings.
The gravity of the entire space was distorted, especially with Soren, who commanded the Shadows divinity; he nearly used his control over the planes to unleash all his divine power in order to reduce the impact force of the meteorite’s fall. It was evident that the meteorite’s speed was decreasing, and then, under the influence of the floating rings, it gradually descended.
Finally, when the meteorite was about five hundred meters from the ground, its speed was reduced to that of a high-speed moving car.
The final wave of impact erupted!
The Diamond Planet directly collided with the Maze Shield, and as the Maze Shield shattered, the entire meteorite drastically slowed down at about a height of 100 meters.
Rumbling.
The entire ground trembled.
Huge dust was raised, and a pit approximately ten kilometers in diameter appeared. A tremendously strong shockwave erupted, directly flattening a nearby forest, with almost all the trees broken.
But that was not the scariest part!
With the energy radiation enveloping it, all plants within a radius of twenty kilometers began to wither; the surviving creatures also perished. Only outside the negative energy protective barrier could some withered grass and trees be seen.
“Start cutting immediately!”
Gloria’s anxious voice rang, “The radiation energy is too strong! The barrier won’t hold for long!”
Soren landed, panting.
On the other side, the Princess’s full chest was also rising and falling rapidly; the recent actions had drained a significant amount of divine power from both of them.
Inside the tower.
The Tower Spirit’s cold voice echoed: “Activate the first backups of the Golem Puppet Brigade! Activate the Diamond Golem Brigade!”
“Activate the Meteorite Cutter!”
Two special Iron Golems appeared; their hands were uniquely modified into two gigantic boxes, it was precisely the special laser devices Soren encountered when exploring the Arcane Tower. These magic energy-driven devices could easily cut through magical items, and they would assist in the cutting work.
However.
A meteorite with a diameter of about one kilometer was impossible to manage solely with these two golems.
The main forces were still Soren and the Princess.
——“Divine Power Materialization!”
Above the meteorite, golden radiance surfaced on Soren and the Princess’s palms. They then made a sweeping motion, breaking through the outer semi-crystalline layer.
The internal structure of this Diamond Planet was still unknown.
Mixed within were large amounts of rare materials; the surface was semi-crystallized, while the interior contained more crystalline structures.
“Eh?”
Just as the cutting was completed, the Princess’s surprised expression emerged. Then she waved her hand and produced a purple gemstone about one meter tall from beneath her.
An unknown gemstone.
Its hardness was similar to diamond; the exact structure and function were unclear, but just by looking at its beautiful color and crystalline exterior, a glimmer appeared in the Princess’s eyes.
As the cutting work began, more and more gemstones were discovered.
The most abundant material in the entire meteorite was diamond, with quantities so large it was hard to believe!
Then came various gems and special metallic structures, which were no longer ordinary metallic substances; their surfaces emitted a gray-black color, with astonishing hardness!
Then.
There were also quite a number of mythril and refined gold.
Truly, the materials at the peak of existence remained unchanged within this meteorite, maintaining a relatively stable form. However, due to the compression of materials, some mythril had already naturally formed into silver-gray metal blocks.
All of these needed to be refined again.
After the preliminary cutting was completed, Soren began to delve deeper inside; he needed to retrieve the core Annihilation Material and place it in a half-plane devoid of life.
Otherwise, in at most half a day’s time, the energy protective barrier would shatter.
At that time, it would be a disaster for the entire Shadow Plane!
Meanwhile, in the Arcane Tower, the Golem Puppets had already started transporting and re-cutting, while the Tower Spirit had set up an energy detection device in front of the Arcane Tower. Some objects showed no reaction as they passed before the amethyst, while others lit up automatically and emitted sharp alarm sounds as they approached the amethyst.
Then, these objects were all individually stored in the half-plane.
Undoubtedly!
These objects all carried radioactive energy damage.
