Chapter 753: You Gotta Pay Extra!

This was a war betting the entire planet.

Whether it was the abyssal god or the Will of the World of Karim, neither could afford to lose.

Especially the Will of the World.

Although it would dissipate, the transmigrators themselves still had to live in this world.

Unless everyone happily held hands and went to die, they had to resist.

And if they wanted to kill those things that seemed to exceed the normal specifications, Throb Potions were definitely a necessity.

So Throb Grass also became a rigid demand.

But because of the destruction of the Time Magic Array, the supply of Throb Grass was very likely to be cut off.

So the Time Magic Array was the absolute first priority that had to be resolved.

...

Tower: "In other words, the teleportation portals have already closed?"

On this day, Lan Qingyou, who was conducting research, was interrupted by the sound of her card.

Picking it up to look, she found out it was about the matter of the teleportation portals mentioned previously.

Although they were well prepared, and those who had entered the dungeons had all been called out using the Clan Leader's authority, so there were no losses.

But it was still somewhat of a pity.

It couldn't be helped. One step forward was the true Karim Continent, who wouldn't be tempted?

Death: "What a pity..."

The Fool: "It's useless even if it's a pity."

Judgement: "Since Katie wants to close those things to save energy for the Will of the World, we naturally have no reason to stop it."

The High Priestess: "Indeed. Every extra day the Will of the World exists is an extra day of peace for us."

Sun: "Peace or whatever... to put it that way..."

Magician: "But having an extra day to prepare is also a good thing."

Lovers: "My intuition tells me that's not what Death meant."

Death: "If I want to kill monsters, I can only go outside Storm Island now."

Star: "That's the truth."

Justice: "Can't we just ask Tower to open a teleportation portal to the previous dungeons? Anyway, she doesn't use the Will of the World's energy to open teleportation portals."

The High Priestess: "Eh!"

Death: "Good idea."

Lan Qingyou, who had been observing in secret all along, never expected that these guys would actually bring the fire to her.

But it had to be said that for a guy like Li Huai who was very confident in his own strength and wanted to improve further, this was indeed considered a good choice.

So...

Tower: "You gotta pay extra!"

Death: "Can do."

Tower: "You will provide the energy and materials needed to maintain the teleportation portal."

Death: "No problem."

Tower: "Half of the gains from the Karim Continent."

Death: "Naturally."

Magician: "Why not choose to establish a stable stronghold on the Karim Continent?"

The Emperor: "True. It's not like we don't know how to make magic shields."

Tower: "Idiots, do you know how much energy that requires?"

Justice: "How much?"

Tower: "At the very least, much more than building a magic shield on Storm Island."

Tower: "As everyone knows, although Storm Island experiences greater magic power turbulence and Magic Tides than the outside due to the amplification enchantments on the magic shield."

Tower: "But in the outside world, apart from natural phenomena like magic power turbulence and Magic Tides, there are behemoths like abyssal monsters."

Tower: "Let's say even if just one comes to attack the stronghold, in order to protect that place, you would have to invest a massive amount of resources to replenish the energy points."

The High Priestess: "Won't Energy Crystals work?"

Tower: "What's the maximum capacity of the crystals you can produce right now?"

The High Priestess: "Ten thousand points."

Tower: "Then there you have it. It's a question whether ten thousand points can even hold for a single second."

...

Everyone fell into silence.

Nothing else.

Because they truly had no room to refute what Lan Qingyou said.

After all, everyone had experienced the colossal beast riot and was clear about the attack intensity of those things.

Don't look at how a ten thousand point Energy Crystal seemed to be much more compared to the initial one thousand point ones.

But in front of those colossal beasts, it truly wouldn't last long.

With a single slap, let alone ten thousand points, probably thirty to fifty thousand points of energy would instantly vanish.

Following this line of thought, it indeed wasn't suitable to build any strongholds.

Judgement: "But if we don't do that, does that mean every time we go over, it can only be small squads, and we must also equip them with a witch who knows how to use teleportation portals?"

Chu Yuan attempted to calmly analyze the situation.

The Hermit: "That is indeed the case."

Chariot: "I just wonder how many witches on Tower's side can use this kind of magic."

The High Priestess: "One portal should at least allow a thousand-person squad to pass through, right."

Moon: "That's on the low end, according to calculations."

It could be seen that everyone was still quite enthusiastic about this matter.

But that was also a matter of course.

After all, although the resources on Storm Island were massive, compared to the true Karim Continent, they were still slightly inferior.

Whether it was natural resources or other things, there was much more over there.

Under possible circumstances, it was believed that no one would be willing to dig up things on their own turf first.

So compared to the little bit of things on their own turf, gathering over there was more reassuring.

Tower: "Not many, roughly only around ten thousand people."

"Ten thousand people..."

Everyone couldn't help but sigh.

Ten thousand people was very little.

Even if each person opened one portal and led one squad, compared to the population of the entire Storm Island, it was a drop in the bucket.

Especially for a guy like Chu Yuan who needed resources rather than materials.

Even if he sent out tens of thousands of people, it would still be a drop in the bucket for his needs.

The most important thing was, judging from how the Tower Witch directly demanded half from that guy Death just now, that wasn't something he could bear either.

It was equivalent to sending his people out to work for the witches.

If it was like Death, purely for the sake of fighting, then it was fine.

After all, fighting was considered personal gain.

Things like combat experience couldn't be divided anyway.

But for them to do the same, it would be quite agonizing.

Imagine it.

Working hard all day to gather a hundred tons of ore.

Only to have to split fifty tons with the witches upon returning through the teleportation portal.

This was simply more ruthless than a black-hearted mine overseer!

Tower: "You guys could try asking the White Witch's side. After all, the technology was obtained from there."

At this time, Lan Qingyou said this.

Sun: "We're not familiar."

Star: "Is there a need?"

The High Priestess: "That guy feels like she'd be very difficult to communicate with."

Unlike how mentioning Dark Witches would definitely make people think of this guy, the Tower Witch, first.

When mentioning the White Witches, the first thing everyone thought of wasn't the Clan Leader, Elisa.

But those Homunculi and artificial magic beasts created by Elisa.

Even to the point where because she was simply too famous.

After the colossal beast riot, someone actually wanted to seek an explanation from the White Witch.

After all, they were also creating this kind of massive giant magic beasts.

But very clearly.

This kind of person was basically considered insane.

Whoever went would die.

One had to know that compared to Lan Qingyou, this guy Elisa was an even more heartless existence.
