Chapter 409: The Suppressed Evil God

After listening to Sera’s account, Donald and the others were very pleased for Chikofield. Though they had no prejudice against demons, they still felt some resistance toward undead creatures—Chikofield himself included. It had been too long since it had experienced human physical sensations and emotions, even negative ones like pain or sorrow. Thus, Chikofield’s longing for a human identity was beyond what ordinary humans could comprehend!
Next, Sera took them to visit the four main towers: the Guardian Tower on the east, the Alchemy Tower on the south, the Radiance Tower on the west, and the Ghost Tower on the north.
“These four main towers correspond, in order, to the four major schools of magic—protection, transformation, enchantment, and necromancy. These are also the schools I’m most skilled in!”
As one of the most powerful humans in ancient times, Sera and the other great archmages had to master more than two schools of magic, with Sera standing out among them.
“Since these schools generally do not conflict with each other, Sera deliberately designed the Sky City to have a relatively perfect magical network. Any caster recognized by the Sky City can use the power of the four main towers and other auxiliary towers from any corner of the city to cast spells beyond their usual limits.”
In other words, even a mage apprentice within the Sky City could manipulate the energy of the magical towers to cast level-nine golden spells by leveraging access to this network!
This was another reason why the Sky City was regarded as the greatest magical creation.
“At the same time, the magical network that covers the entire Sky City can also be called a spell network, serving as a carrier for the virtual divine system. Even if no one is operating the magical towers, the master of the Sky City can use the virtual divine entity to carry out defensive counterattacks on their own.”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned into a state of shock.
At that moment, Sera led them to the final stop of their tour: the energy core of the Sky City.
As they stepped out of the teleportation portal, they saw a vast underground space, deep within the layers of the Sky City. The most prominent feature in this space was a spherical object at the center, connected to numerous metal pipes.

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is the greatest invention in terms of energy in the Arcane Empire—the Mithr Core! This form of energy was developed by mages after studying the core fission of the Lava Lords and even the transformation of energy by the divinities of true gods! It utilizes an unconventional form of energy that we call arcane nuclear energy, which can break down any substance into antimatter energy, convert it into any known form of energy, and moreover, this energy does not cause any harmful pollution to the main world!”
Upon hearing this, everyone took a closer look at the metal sphere, which was only about ten feet in diameter. The light that flickered across its surface clearly indicated that it contained an extremely terrifyingly powerful energy within.
“Won’t this thing explode?”
Carlisle asked hesitantly.
Sera smiled and replied, “Of course not. The antimatter energy produced by the Mithr Core is the most stable energy in the universe—without exception. Of course, this is assuming it isn’t stimulated. If, through some special method, the antimatter energy undergoes drastic changes, it can release an explosion even more powerful than that generated when the energy crystals in a magic crystal cannon shatter. detonating a standard Mithr Core at the operating power of a Sky City could instantly destroy half of the Northern Continent, with its energy radiation affecting almost the entire main world!”
Everyone gasped in shock upon hearing this!
Donald raised a question, “How long will the energy radiation remain after a Mithr Core explodes? Could it have a significant impact on the environment of the main world, like negative energy?”
Sera explained, “That won’t happen. Although antimatter energy can destroy most substances when it explodes, it merely destroys them. After the explosion, it reverts into various basic energy particles, returning under the constraints of the laws of nature. There will be no lingering threats, nor will it cause any abnormalities in plants or animals!”
Hearing Donald and Sera’s discussion, everyone realized just how great a threat this thing could be. Now, no matter what Sera said about the Mithr Core being safe, aside from Donald, those who felt fear no longer dared to get close to it, as if touching it might trigger an explosion!
Strictly speaking, the main world consists of two connected continents. Since intelligent beings like humans have always lived mainly on the warm Southern Continent, the continent referred to in general terms is the Southern Continent.
Opposite the Southern Continent is the Northern Continent!

The Northern Regions, the Northwest Wastelands, the Great Snowy Mountains and Frozen Highlands, and even the Arctic Tundra all belong to the Northern Continent. However, since these are all uncivilized lands not ruled by humans, in the eyes of the people on the continent, the so-called Northern Continent usually refers only to the Northern Regions occupied by the human kingdom of Celt! A single Mithril Core can destroy half of the Northern Continent—what about two or three? It should be noted that there are as many as seven recorded Sky Cities, and just these seven Mithril Cores are enough to destroy all habitable environments in the main world! In Donald’s view, such Mithril Cores are tens of thousands of times better than nuclear energy from his past life! Not only are they clean, environmentally friendly, and pollution-free, but they are also extremely stable—unlike nuclear weapons, which, if used excessively, can cause catastrophic effects such as nuclear radiation and nuclear winters that threaten the world where humans live! After introducing the Mithril Cores, Sera took Donald alone to the floor below the Energy Control Center. This floor was empty, with no decorations at all, except for magic arrays and runes covering the walls and floors in all directions. Only in the center stood a simple, large altar. As soon as Donald saw this altar, he knew what Sera was about to discuss! It was identical to the one he had found in the ruins of the Two-Legged Dragon Swamp, aside from the size difference. On this altar lay a wolf-like creature with beautiful blue-white fur and a massive body radiating divine light. It lay quietly in the center of the altar, as if asleep. If it weren’t for Donald observing faint rises and falls in the creature’s chest and abdomen from time to time, it would have seemed no different from a lifeless statue! “As the new master of this Sky City, you must resolve this issue as soon as possible!” “Beneath the energy core of the Sky City lies the true form of a god—the God of the Winter Wolf, a deity from an evil faction that once caused havoc in the Northern Continent. Due to certain circumstances, it exists within the main world and has never communicated with the true gods outside it. Though powerful, it is relatively barbaric and isolated, unaware of the strength of the Arcane Empire. That’s why I set a trap to lure it to the Arctic and seal it using a virtual divine form and the power of the Sky City!”

“Although the power of the God of Winter Wolves is only on par with that of newly ascended gods, over the years, its divine energy has been continuously drawn and transformed through powerful magic arrays to power the core of Mithras, thus depleting much of its strength. Yet, through years of exploration, I’ve discovered that this God of Winter Wolves differs from those true gods who became gods through faith—it is a law god who chose to create its own laws by shaping the world. As long as its true form remains intact and its divine kingdom endures, it can continuously generate divine energy from within, unbound by the power of faith. After years of operation and extraction, the arcane magic arrays in this prison chamber have gradually been weakened by the accumulation of its divine energy. While this won’t allow it to escape in the short term, it enables it to release its power over a certain distance. The ice spirit lord at the entrance of the ice layer outside the Sky City was lured here by it, with the intention of seizing control of that elemental creature’s body to use it to undermine the defenses of the Sky City and free its true form!”

“So it poses a great threat to the Sky City. As for me, I’m just a soul memory preserved through a virtual divine entity. Though I can manipulate some constructs and puppets, I’m unable to repair such intricate and powerful magic arrays. I hope you, my new master, can repair the arrays as soon as possible and come up with an effective way to suppress its power or completely eliminate this threat!”

Upon hearing this, Donald immediately said with a smile, “To be honest, aside from the Sky City, our main purpose in exploring your mausoleum, Senior Sera, this time is precisely because of this God of Winter Wolves!”

“Oh?”

Sera was greatly surprised. Seeing the expression on Sera’s face, if Donald hadn’t known that Sera was actually just a piece of computer data, more like an artificial intelligence, and if he hadn’t seen her mimic various emotions so vividly, he might have thought she was a real person.

“What I need is this magnificent arcane creation—the Sky City—as well as the divine essence of this evil god. As a spirit without a physical form, King Celt I is extremely eager for such a divine body. Currently, our Celt Kingdom is under the covetous gaze of other true god forces, which is why I plan to elevate King Celt I to godhood. However, there are many drawbacks to elevating a spirit to godhood, so I turned my attention to the body of this evil god!”

As he spoke, Donald’s deep eyes sparkled as he gazed at the beautiful giant wolf on the altar before him, his heart filled with profound awe.

Donald had imagined that the true god sealed by Sera might just be an avatar, or even a deity with a dead soul, but he never expected that the God of Winter Wolves would be an existence like a Law God.
