Chapter 417
After a while, the Gods outside the Underground Dragon Nest of the God’s Kingdom couldn’t resist it. Even if it would make the God of Justice angry, they still entered carefully.
They saw a wonderful scene that proved what empty land was.
In the whole God’s Kingdom, everything that could be carried away had been moved, including plants, buildings, and even bricks.
The Gods were reluctant to accept this reality, looking left and right. After searching inside and out several times, they were finally sure that the God’s Kingdom had suffered a great ransack. Nothing was left there.
“Why did we come?” a God said blankly.
The Gods all sighed with sadness, saying that the trip had been meaningless, and condemned the God of Justice and Void Mask.
After, they knew they couldn’t find anything and left separately, leaving only the empty God’s Kingdom remaining.
But after a while, the Gods who had been indignant before came back secretly. They looked around and saw the excitement in each other’s eyes.
“How could those newbies think that there would be a fortune!”
“Yes, yes! In fact, these two Gods were very kind to us!”
“We just said a few bad things about them and need to apologize afterwards.”
“Let’s not waste our time. Let’s begin! After a delay comes the spoils!”
So they began to tear apart the whole God’s Kingdom bit by bit, broke it into countless pieces, packed it up, and took it away.
The God’s Kingdom itself was the crystallization of a God’s Divine Power. Frankly speaking, it was a piece of condensed Divine Power. They could break it, take it back to their own kingdoms, and process it. Then they could restore it to Divine Power, and transform it, making them stronger.
Cladema, the God of Underground Caves and Sites, wasn’t high on the list of deities, but he was powerful and had lived for a long time. Most of the Divine Power that he had accumulated over the years had transformed as a part of the kingdom, like a bank deposit, and some of the Divine Power had been absorbed by that strange black book.
As a clergyman, Yorgaardman couldn’t participate in the act of looting, while Sui Xiong felt that he had already taken so much, and it was unkind to remove a God’s Kingdom. They merely discussed and only removed the most important part of the God’s Kingdom, which was very useful, and left the rest to the other Gods who would come later.
“That’s a lot of Divine Power!” After Sui Xiong returned, Manissy, the Goddess of Wealth, suddenly opened her eyes wide, exclaiming in surprise and unwillingness, “So wasteful!”
Sui Xiong was surprised and asked, “A lot?”
“It’s actually a lot.” Morani smiled and looked indifferent.
However, Morani’s words and facial expressions weren’t the same at all, which confused Sui Xiong. Then Sui Xiong turned to Javier.
Javier sighed and said, “The God’s Kingdom of Cladema really contained a lot of Divine Power. But to be honest, this power belonged to the evil camp, and you belong to the good camp, so if you want to transform this evil Divine Power into your Divine Power, it’ll consume lots of time and energy, and we all know that the ultimate efficiency of transformation won’t be high.”
He laughed again and said, “Royal Crown is excited because his camp is neutral and maybe slightly evil, so it’ll be much easier and less wasteful to transform Cladema’s Divine Power. In fact, from your point of view, it was wise not to take the whole God’s Kingdom.”
Sui Xiong suddenly realized that he had done the right thing and couldn’t help laughing.
“Actually, I came back with something.” With a wave of his hands, countless treasures, sealed plants, and buildings of all sizes flew out and piled up like hills beside him.
Among these treasures, the most noticeable one was a black ball, which was dark and emitting a cold and clear light. If one looked closely, they would see a black dragon flying inside the ball. If one listened to it, they could hear the roar of the dragon from inside. And one could feel the extremely powerful Divine Power from it. At a glance, they all knew that it wasn’t an ordinary treasure.
The eyes of the Gods sparkled as soon as it was taken out.
“How could you say you didn’t take anything! Nothing could compare to this!” Manissy laughed and shouted, “This is the most valuable thing!”
Sui Xiong was surprised. He knew that this was the core of the Cladema kingdom, but... was it that precious?
At that moment, he remembered the sly smile of Yorgaardman when he had suggested taking it.
What a pity! After leaving the kingdom of Cladema, Yorgaardman had said he had something to do and left. Otherwise, Sui Xiong would have asked him what the magic of the core of the kingdom was.
Fortunately, Manissy was an expert and explained it to Sui Xiong with a smile.
Each God constructed their kingdom in different ways. For example, the God of Cladema was a dragon who often preferred to construct a sphere first and design a whole kingdom in it. Then when he wanted to build it, he could directly inject magic power into the sphere, which was like a tool to project the designed object. This was not only very fast and created a quality product, but it also saved a lot of magic power.
Over the years, with the injection of Divine Power and the construction of the God’s Kingdom, the sphere would transform into a valuable artifact, commonly known as the “dragon ball.”
“A dragon ball?” Hearing this, Sui Xiong was surprised and looked carefully at the black ball, hoping to find the pattern of stars on it. At the same time, he asked casually, “Are there seven known dragon balls in total?”
Manissy answered in surprise, “How could there be seven of them? As far as I know, included this one, only four balls have appeared in all.”
Sui Xiong frowned, disappointed.
It seemed that even if seven dragon balls were gathered together, the dragon couldn’t be summoned. He had dreamed of finding seven dragon balls to summon the dragon, and then letting the dragon send him back to earth.
“Dragon balls are useful in many aspects. Actually, I haven’t found a dragon ball, so I don’t know the specific effects.” Manissy laughed and said, “But there is no doubt that it is one of the most precious treasures in the world, even compared to the other treasures you’ve collected, or the whole Cladema kingdom!”
Sui Xiong then understood, and nodded slightly, trying to say something. Suddenly, Ariel, a Goddess of Ocean who seldom paid him visits, said, “Actually, there are five dragon balls, but one of them was destroyed.”
“Ah?!” Sui Xiong was surprised and asked curiously, “How was it damaged?”
“A long time ago, Vorpocus, the former Goddess of Ocean, killed a weak Dragon God and seized his dragon ball. This dragon ball was later transformed into an ornament in the center of her throne and was the core of her control over the God’s Kingdom. “When she died, the whole God’s Kingdom collapsed, and the dragon ball was destroyed,” Ariel answered.
Sui Xiong understood and sighed with slight regret.
There was no doubt that the dragon balls of this world couldn’t be assembled to seven to summon the divine dragon.
In his understanding, the dragon balls that could summon the divine dragon wouldn’t be destroyed.
After sighing, Sui Xiong asked Ariel how to use the Dragon ball.
As the successor of the former Goddess of Ocean, Alice had not only inherited the clergy and most of the Divine Power, but also some pieces of Vorpocus’ memories. Although a lot of the memories had been lost, fortunately, the knowledge about dragon balls had not.
Ariel introduced in detail the various methods for using dragon balls and helped Sui Xiong practice some.
Unfortunately, this dragon ball wasn’t very helpful for Sui Xiong.
He always felt that the dragon ball was slightly awkward to use. When the Divine Power was injected into it, it was difficult to use every bit of it.
It was said that practice made perfect. But after several days of practicing, he still felt that there was a slight gap between him and the dragon ball, and he didn’t know what was wrong. It was just that he couldn’t use it well.
Then he gathered his friends and asked them if they had any good methods for using a dragon ball.
“It’s good for controlling the God’s Kingdom,” Manissy said. “Even if it doesn’t work well now, it’ll get better after more practicing.”
“It’s not a matter of practicing, it’s just... a lack of coordination between the ball and me.” Sui Xiong shook his head.
“Then how about transforming it into something else,” Morani, the master of forging, suggested. “I think it might be possible to transform it into a powerful artifact.”
“Too wasteful!” Not waiting for Sui Xiong to reply, Manissy screamed against it and said, “There are only a few artifacts in the world that are more precious than dragon balls. Using them as raw material is too wasteful!”
“Then how about selling it,” Javier said. “I believe that the God of Light needs such a dragon ball to show off his power. If you like, I can negotiate with him.”
Sui Xiong thought for a moment.
If there were no other good ideas... This one could be taken into consideration.
“It’s a pity to sell it or leave it unused. And it’s wasteful to use it as raw material. Why don’t we try to use it as a core to reinforce the Void City?” Wor suddenly said.
Everyone was surprised when they heard this.
Although no one had ever constructed a human city with a precious dragon ball, it seemed that... it sounded okay to them!
Using a dragon ball as the core and reinforcing the Void City, they could not only greatly avoid the risk of future attacks, but also give the city many wonderful functions.
It seemed that this was the best choice for the Gods who regarded the Void City as their holy land.
The Gods looked each other, and they knew everyone agreed, so it was decided that they would reinforce the city.
