Chapter 35: Grand Maneuver!
Overseas Islands, Modo City.
When Soren returned to the main base again, even he was astonished by the changes that had occurred here.
The Golem Legion had taken shape.
This not only represented a significant increase in the combat power of Modo City but also meant that Modo City now possessed a workforce of extraordinary power. The scale of the Golem Legion had now approached 600 units, of which more than 500 were clay and stone golems, while the rest were iron golems and a small number of diamond golems. Due to the outbreak of the Saint’s Cataclysm, the Material Plane could now obtain Soul Crystals, with these crystals continuously supporting the operation of the Golem Factory from the abyssal life forms below.
Currently!
Modo City produces 10 clay golems every day, and these golems are immediately put to work once completed.
Upon Soren’s return this time, Modo City not only completed the task of flattening the peaks but also the City Hall had begun laying out the Canal system.
Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind.
Soren was playing a very large game, far exceeding the imagination of mortals in this era.
Golem Puppets provided an advanced engineering capability, and the plan for the canal in Modo Island began with the city itself, the first step being to dig a moat near Modo City.
Next, this moat would connect the canals running north and south across the island, eventually flowing into the sea near Modo Harbor.
Flattening the Peaks.
Setting up the leyline nodes, this is the part that belongs to “Earth.” Soren not only locked onto the leyline nodes but even artificially altered the leyline energy of the entire island. All leyline nodes were connected to the Temple, and twelve satellite towns formed a network, linking the leyline energy of the entire island together.
Developing the Canal.
This is the part that belongs to “Water.” Soren would be setting up an enormous Magic Circle throughout Modo Island to converge the powers of Water Elementals, which would influence not only agricultural irrigation and other livelihood aspects but also aim to create a special elemental balance with other powers, ultimately forming a unique elemental tide.
Next.
Soren needed to complete the power of “Fire,” his idea was to raise a volcano in Modo City.
A volcano suppressed by divine power but would never erupt; this volcano would connect to the force of lava, providing an endless source of energy for the “Forging” of Modo City.
Finally, there was the power of “Qi.”
This was the most difficult to control among them; Soren would need more trump cards to accomplish it.
Perhaps.
It should be simpler here.
In fact, Soren’s plan was to transform the entire Modo Island into the prototype of a Floating Island, and his actions in planning “Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind” were tantamount to creating an independent semi-planar system.
A space barrier that could maintain stability outside the Material Plane!
It has been mentioned before.
All planes can be segmented and altered; many areas of the Hell of Bartok were formed by pillaging and splitting from the Bottomless Abyss and then changing the planar laws.
The phenomenon of lower planes encroaching and consuming is very severe.
The divine kingdom of the Spider Queen could expand to its current size by tearing apart a layer of space from the Bottomless Abyss and integrating it into her divine kingdom.
In simple terms.
Any plane can be segmented with immense power.
The Material Plane is no exception.
Modo Island, being an overseas island in the Material Plane, is particularly so. If it can transform into a Floating City, then it can separate from the Material Plane and enter the Astral Realm, teleporting into other spaces, or even drifting in the astral sea.
And if it can be transformed into a semi-plane, then this island could even integrate into a divine kingdom!
Soren could relocate it to his own divine kingdom.
However!
This must wait until the Saint’s Cataclysm is over, and it required a massive amount of Divine Power Value to lift it away from the planar boundary of the Material Plane.
Regarding these thoughts.
Gloria and the Fallen Witch had more or less guessed a bit of it. However, Soren did not say it explicitly; they believed he intended to construct a Floating Island.
But in fact, Soren’s ambition was even greater than they imagined!
………………
“You’ve returned.”
In the lord’s mansion, Gloria smiled as she helped Soren take off his cloak, hanging it aside like a gentle mortal wife, and then softly said, “Vivian’s condition is very stable. It shouldn’t be long before she can integrate divine power.”
Soren nodded at her words, opened his arms to embrace the beautiful witch in front of him, and leaned down to kiss her lips, saying, “Thank you for your hard work.”
Gloria smiled gently, raised her hand to lightly brush a strand of long hair.
If Soren was not in Modo City, then she was the mistress commanding Modo City, making many decisions and tasks. From all aspects, Gloria’s performance was nearly perfect; otherwise, she wouldn’t have received support from everyone in Modo City. Even after the ambiguous relationship between Soren and Princess Anna came to light, people within Modo City believed she should be the first mistress. Gloria possessed not only beauty but also won over the upper and lower echelons of Modo City with her wisdom.
“My mother said the Golem Legion is nearly ready.”
Gloria did not leave Soren’s embrace but instead leaned lazily in his arms, her eyes seeming a bit intoxicated, exhaling softly, “We have expended too much effort on the Wizard Tower in the Shadow Plane, and it has matured; perhaps we should take it down completely now!”
Is the Golem Legion ready?
A glimmer of light flashed in Soren’s eyes at her words, and he spoke in a deep voice, “Is the Diamond Golem sufficient?”
“That’s good.”
“We will march on the Wizard Tower tomorrow and take it down completely in one go!”
The delay had been too long.
The internal defenses of this Wizard Tower were too powerful; without a 70% chance of success, Soren did not dare to assault it forcefully.
He was indeed a True God!
But Soren was currently in the “Saint” form, completely lacking the ability to resurrect the dead. In this catastrophe, most deities also lacked the ability to resurrect; if someone died, they would be completely dead. Soren could only connect to the divine kingdom and regain the powers of a deity to resurrect certain individuals at a significant cost.
Now.
All deities were simply absurdly powerful Legendary Professionists.
*Cough! Cough!*
The figure of the Fallen Witch appeared. Upon seeing Soren and Gloria entwined together, she coughed slightly, and her expression seemed a bit unusual.
However, she quickly returned to normal and mentioned the plan to march on the Wizard Tower to Soren.
Originally, it was nothing.
But!
Just after the three of them discussed everything, the Fallen Witch suddenly relayed a message to Soren through telepathy as she was leaving: “It’s almost time to please the Succubus Queen.”
“I haven’t sensed the will of the Succubus Queen descending yet, but the mark she left on me is still functioning.”
“I have some questions I need to ask you!…”
