Chapter 155: Mysterium Core! [Second Update]
The night falls.
Soren and the Princess returned to the Tower and transported the meteorite to the Shadow Plane, which consumed a significant amount of their Divine Power Value, so the subsequent cutting work was left to the Golem Puppet.
Arendelle still needed the Princess to oversee the center, so she would return tomorrow, bringing back a batch of diamonds. The distribution of the upcoming profits would see her taking 30%, the Northern Tower getting 10%, and Soren retaining the remaining 60%. The first batch of Diamond Golems had already been quietly transported out. They would be sold near the Wizard Alliance and exchanged directly for resources. Possibly due to the diamonds, Soren noticed that the Princess was much kinder to him; her favorability seemed to have increased significantly from this cooperation, and her attitude was evidently above friendly.
This was a good situation.
After all, Soren’s connection to the Princess was close; it couldn’t rely solely on alliances and interests binding them together; personal kindness was also very important.
The Golem Factory in Modo City had already begun operations. The production of Diamond Golems required a significant amount of time, and currently, Alice was mainly responsible for this, while also managing the operations of the Diamond Golems. According to the preliminary statistics from the Tower Spirit, if enough Soul Crystals were available, this diamond planet could produce at least over 15,000 Diamond Golems.
Fifteen thousand!
The combat power of Diamond Golems exceeds that of Legendary Warriors, and such a large number of them would be enough to determine the outcome of a major Abyssal Blood War.
Soren felt invigorated.
For the first time, he felt that he had enough confidence to handle the Saint’s Cataclysm because with just the Golems, he could take on devils and demons directly. Additionally, with the Legendary Professionists from Modo City, and the power of allied deities, Soren’s strength would not be inferior to any other pantheon.
“However…”
Soren frowned as he thought about this, murmuring, “The only thing currently missing for forming a pantheon is the power of [Strong Divine Power].”
“I must upgrade as soon as possible.”
Without Strong Divine Power, a deity could not be considered a true pantheon.
Why has the Ocean Goddess nurtured quite a number of subordinate deities over the years, yet is still not a pantheon?
It’s simply because she does not have Strong Divine Power.
Medium Divine Power only means you can secure a place among the gods, but to divide into a pantheon and claim territory, lacking Strong Divine Power makes it impossible. Soren’s framework for a pantheon was already in place, but unless he reached Strong Divine Power, fundamentally, he was still just an alliance of deities.
“I am currently at Superior Divinity.”
Soren frowned in thought and murmured, “To advance to Strong Divine Power, I must acquire enough Divinity Value.”
“My Divinity Value is currently 240 points.”
“To continue improving, the choices available are already very limited.”
Deities are finite.
Why are there some mortals who become gods, yet very few reach Medium Divine Power?
It’s simply because all the divine beings in the Material Plane combined can at most support a deity of Medium Divine Power. As for increasing Divinity Values, it becomes increasingly difficult; typically, one deity’s rise often signifies another’s fall.
Soren still lacked 60 points of Divinity Value.
If slaying a deity of Weak Divine Power requires six, it must be a complete absorption of power.
So Soren’s targets can only focus on deities of Medium Divine Power, which greatly reduces the choices, and they must generally be deities that control a region.
“Sherek is the primary target.”
“However, his position is currently uncertain; Sherek possesses the Divine Profession of [Conspiracy], making it difficult to ambush him.”
Soren continued to think, “Currently, it is the Plague.”
“There are two deities that are relatively easier to handle.”
“One is the severely injured King of the Dead – Klanvor, but no one knows where He is hiding. The second is the Lich God – Vishalon; I know where He is.”
“However, confronting him might involve running into another otherworldly god.”
Otherworldly gods.
There are many otherworldly gods in the Material Plane, and the entire Pantheon has a strong tolerance for them.
The orc pantheon is an otherworldly god, spread here from other planes; the God of Knowledge is also an otherworldly god; even the Lord of Radiance is an otherworldly god because His former identity, the Sun God, was a main god from another plane and later assimilated by the Material Plane. Strictly speaking, apart from the conflict births between Lady Silver Moon and Lady of the Night, and deities that have advanced from the local plane, other deities are all otherworldly gods.
They come from other worlds and have taken root here.
The Plague’s easiest target to harvest is the Lich God, who also carries a trace of the Wizard Divine Profession’s power.
However, harvesting His head will require facing another otherworldly god, namely the Goddess of Death and Magic, a deity who came to this place from another world for some reason and is embroiled in the struggle of the God of Death system, preparing to advance from Medium Divine Power to Strong Divine Power.
Her relationship with the God of Death – Naraku is quite strange; it seems like collaboration yet also rivalry.
These two deities of Medium Divine Power both seek to grasp the power of death to elevate themselves to Strong Divine Power.
“The Goddess of Death and Magic!”
Soren tapped his head and murmured, “This goddess is rather difficult to deal with! But there is still a bit of time; the Lich God seems to be falling only at the end of the year, so He should still be alive for now.”
Seizing the power of death.
The Lich God participated in the ambush against the King of the Dead – Klanvor; He must also possess some of the power of death.
“Good news!”
Just as Soren was deep in thought, Gloria’s figure walked in from outside, looking a bit excited as she said, “Mother just sent back news; she has obtained information about the Mysterium Core. If successful, within a month, she will be able to bring the Mysterium Core back.”
Mysterium Core!
Soren’s expression was also shaken, and he said in a deep voice, “So next year Modo Island can rise up?”
Gloria nodded and continued, “Not only that. The energy the Mysterium Core can provide far exceeds that of the Elemental Furnace. In fact, to some extent, the Mysterium Core is an almost endless power source; as long as it is maintained, it can continuously support all the consumption of the Floating City.”
“Not only will it elevate the city, but it will also fully operate the Maze, activating the maximum energy shield!”
In simple terms.
If the Elemental Furnace is compared to an ordinary power plant, then the Mysterium Core is a super massive nuclear power station.
Soren said sternly, “Immediately inform your mother.”
“Whatever materials and assistance are needed, let me know immediately; Modo City will fully supply everything she requires!”
Once the Mysterium Core is acquired, Modo City will possess an inexhaustible energy source. Then, not just basic supply, but Soren can also arrange other aspects according to his wishes. Moreover, if the energy is indeed as astonishing as Gloria mentioned, Soren could completely equip Modo City to the standards of a stellar age.
Energy is the foundation of everything.
If an inexhaustible energy source is obtained, Modo City’s technological advancement would undergo a significant explosion! The Mysterium Core will become Modo City’s eternal well!
