its body would effortlessly split into countless parts when facing a physical onslaught, only to reaggregate into the shape of the Demon Statue afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was reminiscent of the “dicing water only increases its flow” principle, with the Demon Statue appearing to lack a core, its composition elusive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, after Lis had quickly destroyed the Water Element Demon Statue’s external shield, he resorted to the Ice Seal Technique, which finally allowed him to gain control over it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Water Element Demon Statue was the easiest to control among the Four Elements Demon Statues of the Floating City, but this did not mean it was weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Lis’s eyes, the Water Element Demon Statue seemed more suited for defense and support roles in combat, rather than having strong offensive capabilities on its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each Elemental Magic Statue had unique features, and the designer of the Four Elementals must have considered this, making their combined force much greater than when they fought individually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also the reason why Lis could only opt for a tactical retreat when facing numerous Elemental Statues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, these Demon Statues patrolled the Floating City alone, which presented Lis with the opportunity to defeat them one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the Water Element Demon Statue turned into a block of ice and the disappearing Black Cat, Lis couldn’t help but wonder if Little Mi could actually control the Demon Statue properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Magic Intelligent Life, the Black Cat, Little Mi, inherently possessed immense control over such magical constructs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was unknown what the underlying logic was for the control of the Elemental Statues in this Floating City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting a while, Lis noticed that the azure Demon Statue under his command started to struggle and wriggle, with sounds of cracking ice echoing in his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing no sign of the Black Cat, had she successfully taken control?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis thought for a moment and then relaxed his control over the Elemental Statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once free from Lis’s Magical Power control, the ice encasing the Water Element Demon Statue quickly melted away, with wisps of steam drifting through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After breaking free from the ice, the Water Element Demon Statue did not launch an attack on Lis as it had before, but instead transformed into a cyan humanoid form and stood in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two-meter-tall Demon Statue looked down at Lis, and a human-like smile appeared on its face, which was originally featureless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(*￣︶￣)!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lis, I’m taller than you now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right, it had to be that guy, the Black Cat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A familiar voice came forth from the Demon Statue, causing Lis to look helplessly at the figure before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you feel anything special now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s alright, just a bit chilly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Statue looked down and pinched its body, then began to concentrate, shrinking and solidifying its form repeatedly, trying and failing to hold the new shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, the Demon Statue transformed into the likeness of a delicate and pretty young girl, faintly resembling Helen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, even if the Black Cat could manipulate the statue to take on the shape of a dress, the entire figure seemed to be made of cyan transparent crystal, and it was a bit unsettling at first glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis was not surprised, but rather watched with interest the Black Cat’s attempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve transformed into… Helen?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis asked, looking at the cyan girl standing with hands on her hips, and couldn’t resist rubbing the head of the girl in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl (Black Cat) shook her head and said with a sense of wonder:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I knew her the best, she wouldn’t mind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, I have a new body now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You never tried this before? Didn’t Sphinx prepare a new body for you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis examined the Demon Statue up and down, his eyes full of curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So curious, I really want to cut it open and take a look!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling Lis’s gaze, filled with the desire to explore, the Black Cat shivered and quickly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course not, he was too busy… preparing for those matters, he didn’t have time for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Joyce was near, the Black Cat spoke somewhat cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis, disregarding the Black Cat’s resistance, pinched the human-shaped Water Element Demon Statue up and down, finding the sensation similar to before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you control this Demon Statue in battle?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Cat paused for a moment, as if sensing something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Combat Techniques are written in the Magic Pattern Circuitry of the Demon Statue, it’s quite simple to control.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying so, the cyan girl waved her hand and a cyan ring of water appeared in front of her, revolving around her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis immediately recognized this as the Protection Magic used by the Water Element Demon Statue, capable of withstanding a certain degree of magic damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Black Cat could do this, it seemed she had indeed completely mastered the Demon Statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And can you use this to control the other Demon Statues?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Cat immediately shook her head, saying confidently:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I tried it just now, but like before, I can’t control the other Demon Statues through the Magic Pattern Circuitry of this one; each Demon Statue is an independent entity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Demon Statues must be resonating with the entire Floating City through their Magic Runes to receive the supply of Magic Power.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1005,"2026-06-03T10:58:33.032Z","2026-06-03T10:58:40.807Z",1,"novelbin.me","75bb7fb6cc0651b7c9d5d4346f1027185526ebb8c3aa3e89fc5fb952366e51b4","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-545","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-543",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
