Kingdom of Dalaran, Floating City Dalaran, Headquarters of the Kirin Tor
In the depths of the Floating City, which in terms of its size was far bigger than the former Sky City of the Monarch of Skies Zabofel. This was also due to Gu Long providing some insights on how to expand the city in various ways.
In the depths of the Floating City, there were several sealed rooms armed with the best protection methods one could inscribe and even peak Rank 6 Breaking Dawn Magus would find it very hard to breach through those defenses.
After the event termed "Fall of Thrones" where several Rank 6 Breaking Dawn Magi decided to oppose the unbridled conquest of the Bloodline Monarch and created an alliance against him.
Unfortunately, this ended in spectacular failure because the Bloodline Monarch showcased overwhelming power, easily reaching the standards of the Rank 7 Beings of Law Magi and crushing all of the remaining Rank 6 Breaking Dawn Magi singlehandedly.
Three of them were killed, while the remaining eight were gravely injured and were forced to retreat before they were hunted down and killed one by one.
The secret to his overwhelming strength was that in secret, after becoming a member of the Longinus Dreizhen Orden, Leylin obtained Godhood Method from the Enryuu and practiced himself to the Demigod Rank.
Unknowingly to him, he embarked on the path of the hybrid between Magus and God, like the Father of All Devils was a hybrid between Arcanist and God.
Still, just by obtaining Demigod Rank and obtaining the initial Godhood of Devouring and Bloodlines, his power surged to an astronomical degree.
Though at the same time, he was in a way better position compared to Zeoticus Lucifer because he could fuse both paths before reaching Rank 7 as Magus and ascending as full God.
Just this information cost him the astronomical degree of wealth that he promised to pay Zeoticus Lucifer in the future, but at the same time, he was glad because he didn't need to fear for the future.
In the later Ranks, it was incomprehensibly harder to fuse the two paths...
Within the crystal wall was a radiant light, the light of the Gods!
"This crystal wall system… "
Leylin's soul force encircled around the huge crystal wall, feeling the immeasurable depths of its power.
"The culmination of the world's Origin Force, and there's also the consciences of Gods there."
It was more than two hundred years since he started experimenting with the imitation of the Manderhawke Plate that he obtained from the Rank 7 Archdevil Beelzebub, who had comprehended the Law of Devour and somehow managed to enter the Magus World.
Bypassing their fabled Crystal Wall.
"It stubbornly rejects everything from outside and has blocked all connections from the outside world. This protection is probably strong enough to fend anything below the peak of Rank 9 power... if it wasn't that annoying, I would admire them for building this thing."
Leylin's expression turned more solemn the more he sensed the power of the Crystal War.
"It's impossible to break through such a system; the only way is to use Beelzebub's method to smuggle myself in…"
With a simple probe, Leylin understood clearly that even the creator of this system couldn't destroy it; of that, he was pretty sure. So, the only way for him to enter the World of Gods was to smuggle himself in.
After he established himself in the World of Gods, he could then use the method to summon Gu Long into the World of Gods, as the dragon refused to use the method of reincarnation by splitting his soul.
"Based on Beelzebub's thoughts, the Manderhawke plate could very well be an imitation of the most powerful deity device in the World of Gods, the Clay Plate of Destiny. This is very possible. Perhaps this plate might even be a part of the Clay Plate of Destiny…"
Leylin's eyes burned with fervor.
What he had in his hands was obviously not the real Manderhawke plate, or else he would long have been able to enter the World of Gods.
The shining plate in Leylin's hands was merely a specific device made by the A.I. Chip from Beelzebub's memories, insight of Gu Long, information from the Longinus Dreizhen Orden as well as the precise calculations down with knowledge on the equipment of the World of Gods.
With data from experiments on the real thing, as well as long periods of observing and doing research to imitate it, Leylin had great confidence in this imitation.
Things were as expected. Under the rays of the fake Manderhawke Plate, the region of the crystal wall here was already beginning to melt, revealing a large passageway.
"It was this easy?"
Leylin furrowed his brows but still separated a thread of a soul seed, which disappeared into the pathway.
"Get lost!"
The moment the soul seed touched the Crystal Wall, a terrifying voice sounded, bringing with it a powerful, isolating conscient.
The seed was immediately annihilated, and even the Manderhawke Plate was floating unsteadily.
"Has the World Will of the World of Gods awoken? No, this is just its subconscious mind! This extent is just…"
Instantly, Leylin knew what had happened.
This was an instinctive reaction of the Crystal Wall, which repelled souls like Leylin, who tried to enter. His different type of soul force was immediately discovered without leaving any room for doubt.
"You're the one who should scram! You're just a sleeping subconscious will. Scram!"
Two streaks of black lightning shot out from Leylin's eyes, his black hair flying while he looked to have turned into an ancient demon.
"Hss…"
The tremendous body of a Nāga emerged behind Leylin, its energy undulations and Rank 7 will resisting the crystal wall. Nāga was the name of his current Bloodline after he embarked on the Path of God he obtained.
It was essentially upgraded former Targaryen Bloodline but with the Divine feeling of Godhood and superiority. The Nāga had the appearance of half-human and half-snake, as the lower body belonged to the serpent while the upper body belonged to the man.
The illusionary image of Nāga gripped four swords in its limbs as it protected him from the effects of the suppression of the World of Gods.
