Chapter 379: So that

On the back of the Undead Bone Dragon, Aobenli stood atop a magic array, continuously releasing Flames of Death. Like massive, black fireballs of explosive power, they tore through the sky, crashing into those hideous Sinful Angels.

Mixed into the Flames of Death were soul spells like Slow and Hypnosis. With Aobenli's strength, these low-level spells were cast almost instantaneously, leaving the Sinful Angels slow as snails and dizzy, watching helplessly as the black flames engulfed them.

"The unit composition is too singular; it's all Sinful Angels. They should have paired them with some priests to dispel negative effects. Otherwise, they can't even display a fraction of their strength," Aobenli grumbled.

Lei Ting, curled up into the shape of a squirrel with its tail held high, remained vigilant. It replied, "Didn't Andongni say it already? These Sinful Angels were forcibly converted by the God of Arbitration, sacrificing hundreds of thousands of people. They were even preparing to launch the Extinction Judgment. The human priests are busy beating them up right now; why would they ever cooperate with them?"

"Sigh, these god-fearing folks are so superstitious, always up to some inexplicable nonsense. What good does destroying the world do him?" Aobenli muttered, letting out a sharp shriek at the nearest Sinful Angel.

A soul shockwave, almost visible as a ripple, sent the Sinful Angel reeling backward. Before it could recover, a black flame was already upon it.

Aobenli said with some boredom, "Too slow. How long is this going to take? Can't these guys just group up? Flying around like this, killing them one by one is just too slow."

Lei Ting looked left and right, pretending not to hear. If it heard, would it have to act? It didn't want to; it would have to change its form, which was exhausting. It preferred just staying put, calling it "protecting Aobenli."

However, Lei Ting's ears suddenly perked up, and it looked toward the distant horizon.

Great swathes of dark clouds were surging in from the distance, layer upon layer, rolling forward and pressing lower and lower.

Such a rapid change in the weather was highly abnormal, not to mention the chaotic and violent elemental fluctuations within the clouds. Was a powerful enemy casting a spell?

Lei Ting and Aobenli immediately grew vigilant. But a moment later, a voice drifted over on the wind: "Lei Ting, help out, time for the ultimate move."

"Ugh, no way, why use the ultimate move? We can win without it," Lei Ting's face crumpled, and it wailed.

Though reluctant, Lei Ting still darted forward, transforming into a ball of crackling electricity, zipping toward the distant clouds.

Deity Diluni had already summoned the wind and clouds, creating such a massive spectacle. If it didn't cooperate, Deity Diluni would surely dock its snacks later.

Rumble, rumble. The clouds flickered as if silver snakes were slithering within, and muffled, thunderous sounds rolled toward the distance.

The Sinful Angels locked in battle looked up in unison, growing wary.

If they had turned and fled collectively at that moment, they might have had a chance to survive. Once the clouds covered the entire sky, it would be too late.

The dark clouds churned in the gale, grinding out infinite lightning elements. When these elements brewed to their peak, a rain of lightning began to fall.

"Eternal Thunderstorm!" Accompanied by rolling thunder, this voice echoed throughout the sky and earth.

A bolt of electricity descended, striking a Sinful Angel with precision, turning it into charcoal. Immediately after, two more bolts, then four, then eight...

Two Truth-level powerhouses cast spells in tandem, and lightning fell like rain. Those Sinful Angels were like a flock of pigeons in the sky, dropping one by one, charred and smoking.

The members of the Star Mage Corps and their followers stared with wide eyes, their hearts trembling. This was the power of a Truth-level Mage.

Unlike the students and teachers who were awestruck and worshipful, Aobenli gritted its teeth and cursed, "That spendthrift! That spendthrift! How much magic crystal is this scene going to cost? How much?! Half a year of the school's operating budget is gone just like that! Bastard, I'm making you do manual labor to earn it back later."

Even for a Truth-level Mage, there was a limit to human strength; it was impossible to stir the weather on such a scale without infinite mana—unless one was a monster with bottomless reserves. Deity Diluni was human and lacked that ability.

Under normal circumstances, he would lead the Mage Corps, gathering the strength of many mages to mobilize elements on a large scale. Otherwise, he had to rely on burning magic crystals. But it didn't matter; Deity Diluni's labor was valuable. One performance cost 500,000 magic crystals. He just had to lower his price and take more commissions.

Aobenli didn't know that Deity Diluni had already sold himself out.

After clearing out the Sinful Angels, Deity Diluni descended from the sky with Lei Ting in its squirrel form on its shoulder. Before Aobenli could lecture him, he hurriedly explained:

"Red Star, the sky, the Heavenly Fortress. Lord Lord Nai Ge told me to move the Astrolabe Tower onto the Heavenly Fortress so we can observe the Red Star more clearly. So, we're in a rush. Let's go, let's go! Clear these things out first, then go back and move the tower."

The Star Mages accelerated, their efficiency incredibly high. They quickly cleared out the main force of Sinful Angels, leaving the stragglers for other mages to hunt down.

Back at the Astrolabe Tower, Ang and his group were already waiting.

"Rebuilding an Astrolabe Tower is clearly too late. Many parts have to be custom-made. It would take three to five years to build one from scratch. This tower took me three years to build initially," Deity Diluni explained, finally adding, "The best way is to move it as a whole, or disassemble it for transport. As long as the core remains intact, it can be used after two or three weeks of assembly and calibration."

"Pfft, two or three weeks? That Red Star is approaching at high speed. By the time you finish calibrating, it might have already smashed into our heads," Lord Nai Ge said irritably.

"Then we have no choice but to move it as a whole. I can make the top of the tower float by cutting it from here, but we don't have a teleportation array large enough to transport the entire top intact," Deity Diluni said.

Duoluoken added, "With the structure of this tower, if you cut it from here, it won't have a base and will easily fall apart. We must reinforce it here to form a sturdy chassis. The inside is all interlocking gears; moving it will easily shake it apart. If the gears shift, that's one thing, but if a few teeth break, we're in trouble. So, we have to do this, and then that..."

Everyone listened with worried faces. The difficulty was simply too high. Moving it as a whole through teleportation without shaking it?

Ang tilted his head and stepped forward. He pressed both hands against the wall of the tower top, his scales surging—Dragon God Transformation.

The section where his palms pressed turned a metallic color, actually turning into metal. Immediately, the entire space solidified, and no one could move a single finger.

Then, the section of the tower top that Ang was pressing against vanished, pressed by him into the Palace of Rest.

Space returned to normal, and the crowd, previously worried, was now dumbfounded: "So that's how you use Spatial Solidification?"

PS: Congratulations to the women's soccer team for winning the Asian Cup. By the way, I have a miserable story: my cat pooped on the floor. That's not the worst part; the robot vacuum drove over it... The worst part is that it's diarrhea, and my vacuum is ruined.

Everyone listened with worried faces; this difficulty was too high, right? Moving the whole thing via teleportation, and it couldn't be shaken?

Ang tilted his head, walked out, placed both hands on the wall at the top of the tower, and scales surged over his body—Dragon God Transformation.

The place where his palms pressed turned the color of gold and iron; it actually turned into metal. Immediately, the entire space solidified, and no one could move a single finger.

Then, the section of the tower top that was pressed by Ang's palms and metalized disappeared, pressed by him into the Palace of Rest.

The space returned to normal, and the crowd, previously worried, became dumbfounded: "Space solidification can be used like this?"

PS: Congratulations to the women's football team for winning the Asian Champions League. By the way, let me mention a terribly unlucky thing: my cat pooped on the floor. That's not the worst part; the robot vacuum drove over it... What's even worse is that it had diarrhea today; my vacuum cleaner is ruined.
