Lilith, who woke up from the coolant, drank a sip of the locally produced cola while jotting down the key points for repairing the tower on a piece of paper, her face displaying an expression of immense satisfaction, as if this bottle of cola was the true coolant.
As a connection point between the tower and 550C, Lilith actually found it relatively easy; she merely needed to act as a transfer station and reiterate the meaning of 550C.
In reality, the repair work was much easier than expected, because rather than repairing the tower, it was more about restoring a lift that had been trapped deep within the tower.
This lift was completely integrated with the rooms of the tower, to the extent that Anastasia, when manipulating the lift and the other rooms, found it somewhat unbelievable.
The current tower housed the most elite craftsmen and top talents in this continent, using the latest materials to repair products from the Golden Age.
Although this lift had gone through the baptism of long ages, much like the Tower of Babel, when humanity truly needed to use it again, it shook off the dust and appeared as pristine as ever, seeming ready to shoulder its former mission once more.
However, it was only the main body of the lift that operated normally; what Anastasia truly needed to repair were the various details provided by 550C about this lift.
A gigantic room said to reach the heavens—if even a little bit is off in the details, it could lead to irreparable consequences, so caution was paramount. In a certain sense, even a small detail could benefit the craftsmen here for a lifetime, and many craftsmen never imagined that their materials could be utilized like this.
Anastasia could even infer from the materials used in the repair what kind of environment existed up in the heavens, but the more she speculated, the more she felt that the heavens were truly not a place for humans. Had the goddess been wandering up there for thousands of years alone?
The difficulty of the repair process exceeded everyone’s expectations. Even the most experienced craftsman on this continent could not produce materials that fully met the parameters set by the goddess.
In the end, it was still 550C who found a way to solve the problem by adding a disposable outer shell to the lift using the current materials.
However, as it stood, this was all disposable, and according to Lind and 550C, it was only necessary for a disposable lift to be able to ascend.
……
After the Solun dragons left in disarray, they quickly sought out their allies—the Avars and the Demon Clan.
“We must find a way to completely uproot the tower!”
If before, the Solun giant dragon simply despised the tower that always looked down upon humanity, then their recent experience had told the Solun dragons that this towering structure was far from ordinary.
The immense effort humanity spent on protecting this tower itself was a message.
Moreover, the visual impact of the tower alone was already exaggerated, greatly affecting the imposing presence of the dragons.
The dragons asked the Avars, “Is it still possible to summon gods on this continent like before? Preferably near the tower.”
Such a tower could probably only be completely destroyed by the gods.
But the Avars shook their heads, saying, “Great dragons, since you’ve been near Cape and the tower recently, you might be unaware that the zealots on this continent have suddenly returned to normal…”
“Not that they’ve returned to normal…”
Another Avar added, “They are still very fanatic, and their madness has transformed into a righteous kind of madness. They claim to have received a divine revelation, started driving us and the Demon Clan away, and began organizing resistance against us. It seems unlikely that these zealots will summon the gods like they did before.”
The dragons recalled those war god devotees who had turned midway, their eyes twitching.
According to the Avars’ information, although the zealots on this continent had not returned to normal, the gods had already returned to normal and were working through the devotees to thwart invasion plans.
At this moment, the elderly dragon in human form turned his gaze toward the Demon Clan and asked, “If we were to unleash our dragons, could we once again combine with your so-called demon god’s flesh and supremacy magic to launch a suicidal attack on the tower like Eryx did?”
Before the Demon Clan could respond, the elderly dragon shook his head, dismissing his own suggestion: “Given the current defensive forces humanity has at the tower, we would probably be shot down before we could even cast supremacy magic.”
After all, human mages could not cast supremacy magic from too high of an altitude.
At this moment, Antipa appeared hesitant. Seeing the expression of the Demon King brought by the dragons, the elderly dragon asked, “Demon King, what are your thoughts? We and the Avars respect your Demon Clan; after all, your Demon Clan is quite capable of making money. If you have any ideas, feel free to share.”
The ability to make money naturally referred to the methods the Demon Clan employed after arriving on the Solun continent, wherein they exploited the historical loopholes from M Continent—even activities that had been explicitly banned by numerous nations on M Continent were completely unrestrained on Solun, allowing the Demon Clan to rake in a significant fortune before the nations there even had a chance to react.
This had caused the dragons to view the Demon Clan with newfound respect.
“Surely you all know that combining the flesh of our demon gods with supremacy magic will produce black fog that induces emotional instability.”
Antipa slowly said, “What if… what if we threaten those humans with continuous supremacy magic laced with demon god flesh?”
This method was somewhat akin to throwing a dirty bomb, but the Demon Clan would not reject adopting such drastic measures because of its inhumanity. This was primarily because Antipa sensed that the more they utilized supremacy magic combined with demon god flesh, the more active that holy corpse became, and no one knew what would happen when it truly awakened.
Moreover, this method was not only clearly opposed by Cape, but if the Demon Clan dared to make a move, the Lars Knights would surely retaliate, and even the Avars opposed such actions.
After all, Cape’s forces could still find ways to send elite troops into the black fog to slaughter the Demon Clan, but the Avars had no means to resist the black fog. If the continent was engulfed in black fog, wouldn’t the Avars be helping the Demon Clan set up a bridal gown for themselves?
Thus, Antipa’s proposal could only be said that even Antipa himself had not expected it to be accepted.
But at that moment, the voice of the elderly dragon rang out again: “It is worth considering.”
