Chapter 1 A Special Being

Several days later.

Suren sent Pandora to Ekronsa, the royal capital of the Silver Dragon Kingdom.

That place was experiencing post-war chaos, and ordinary residents in hardship had an increasing need for faith. Various false gods were showing their divine power to expand and recruit believers, and missionaries from the Celestial God Plane were also trying to control believers to establish divine kingdoms.

Suren, as an alchemist, couldn't change this situation at all. Fortunately, Pandora was a very special being. Her faith-stealing ability was best at dealing with various false gods.

Even if she was alone, there was no need to worry.

Suren had carefully studied Pandora's alchemical body and knew that she was indeed very strong now. Most of the faith power of the false god from the Lingdun Cataclysm had been absorbed by her. Now her strength had skyrocketed, making her almost the apex of the pyramid among the false gods in this alchemical plane.

It was hard to say how the odds would stack up against the will of true gods descending from the Celestial God Plane, but dealing with the false gods in the Dragon Kingdom sea area was definitely not difficult.

Moreover, Pandora's existence as an "alchemical artificial false god" was very special. Not only did she have combat abilities, but she also possessed some abilities specifically designed to counter gods.

Suren became more and more convinced that the various abilities that Sir Isaac had given her when he created her seemed to be designed to gain some advantage in a battle with gods at some point.

...

One day, the sky was gray, and it was drizzling.

In the southern Silver Dragon Kingdom, on the sea near the Eternal Night Sea, two figures stood there.

Suren looked at the magical beam of light on Rainbow Island in the distance and muttered, "These guys from the Celestial God Plane are really efficient. They've probably teleported over seventy or eighty thousand people already..."

On that island with rainbow-colored clouds in his field of vision, there were already various magic towers of different heights, scattered with as many as a hundred.

The magic towers were connected, and various magic defense restrictions were visibly thick, with magic traps interlocking. Like an ant nest, it was crowded with figures moving up and down everywhere.

With this level of defense, even a Ninth-Order powerhouse would probably shake their head and leave after seeing it.

Suren also felt a headache looking at it.

It was impossible to try to sabotage this kind of camp.

In the face of absolute crushing strength, any conspiracy was useless.

Fortunately, he had thought of a way to solve the problem. Otherwise, if these guys from the Celestial God Plane continued to teleport people over using the ultra-long-distance teleportation array, their Dawn Group would not be able to compete at all.

No,

not just the Dawn Group.

At that time, this Dragon Kingdom sea area would become the Celestial God Plane's adventure back garden.

As long as there were enough people, like dozens of ten-thousand-man magic legions, this dangerous sea area could be directly flattened.

Nearby, Tani's mother, Friedel, looked at her Naga race's holy land being occupied by a group of outsiders, and her expression was not very good. She said, "The Rainbow Well constantly gathers and overflows with huge amounts of elemental energy. It is indeed a good supply for mages and can support the teleportation array. Those people really know how to choose a place."

Suren shrugged as he listened.

Looking at the drizzling rain in the sky, Friedel seemed to sense something and said faintly, "We should have been discovered. I can sense that this rain is different from other rain."

Suren listened, "Oh?"

He originally thought he was being careful enough, but he didn't expect to be discovered. But what was even more surprising was that Friedel had discovered it.

This Naga priestess's strength was not weak, estimated to be around the Seventh-Order.

However, her abilities cannot be measured solely by combat power.

The Naga race's positioning is not as combat pioneers, but as "support".

She has super control over the sea and wind elements, as well as perception.

Just like Tani's ability to listen to the sounds of sea fish.

Friedel looked nonchalant and said, "But it doesn't matter if we are discovered. As long as we are in the sea, they won't find me."

Turning her face, she looked at Suren and said, "Be careful, I'm going to collect the Rainbow Well first."

Be careful?

Suren felt a little strange in his heart when he heard this, but he didn't say much and nodded.

He had teleportation, so he didn't need to worry about his own safety.

On the contrary, he was more worried about her safety.

Those few ten-thousand-man legions in the distance were at least equivalent to a few Ninth-Order powerhouses, so it was no joke if she was discovered.

However, at the moment when she finished speaking, Friedel's body suddenly turned into a semi-transparent liquid form. Looking again, she had instantly merged with the sea water.

Seeing this scene, Suren secretly marveled in his heart.

If it weren't for his soul perception, he wouldn't have been able to detect that Friedel was actually right next to him.

"I'm going over first."

"Mm."

Before he could think too much, that soul fluctuation instantly appeared hundreds of meters away, and then went out of his perception range.

Extremely fast, and without any fluctuations!

"Eh..."

Suren gave a light sound and muttered in his heart, "What a special ability, concealed and swift. As expected of the darling of the storm and the ocean."

With this ability, it was indeed not easy to be discovered.

He looked at the distance again. A group of mages on Rainbow Island flew out of the camp's restrictions. It seemed that someone had come out to check because they had discovered someone had entered the rainwater perception range.

Suren didn't stay in place and teleported to a more distant desert island.

...

On the desert island, it happened to be avoiding that rain cloud.

Suren was holding a telescope, looking at Rainbow Island, a small black dot at the end of his vision.

"I hope it succeeds..."

He said while looking at it, muttering in his mouth.

Nothing special could be seen from the telescope. The tens of thousands of mages on Rainbow Island were still busy.

He now knew a lot about the Celestial God Plane's mage group, and he could almost understand the camp's defense facilities at a glance.

It was because he understood it thoroughly that he was worried.

This kind of super high-level base camp considered all conventional intrusion methods, and there were no loopholes at all.

Moreover, after the number reached ten thousand, it was bound to be equipped with super powerful legion magic tools. The perception methods almost covered all aspects, and getting close would definitely be discovered. Just like the previous rainwater.

Suren himself couldn't think of any possibility that he could get close silently.

What's more, Madam Friedel was going to seal the [Rainbow Well], which was bound to be heavily guarded.

As for how to seal the Rainbow Spring, that was the Naga race's secret inheritance, and Suren hadn't asked before.

Friedel said it was possible, so they came to try it.

Suren only hoped that she would be okay.

After all, she was Tani's mother, and he didn't want her to fall into danger again after just breaking the petrification curse.

However, things went more smoothly than expected.

Suren was already prepared to find a chance to save her immediately if something went wrong, but without any warning, the rainbow-colored glow that had permeated Rainbow Island all year round suddenly disappeared.

Suren's eyes shook, and he was also greatly surprised, "It succeeded?" In an instant, countless doubts emerged in his mind.

How did she do it?

How did she seal the spring under the eyes of tens of thousands of people?

Looking at the mages on the island who suddenly exploded, Suren was sure that Madam Friedel had really completed that incredible task.

Rainbow Well was the foundation of the ultra-long-distance teleportation array. Once it lost this geographical advantage, the mages from the Celestial God Plane would become isolated and helpless in this sea area.

This was a super beneficial thing for the Dawn Group.

It was also a great benefit for the plane invasion.

Suren quickly looked over with a telescope.

He saw countless mages flying around the camp, looking like they were searching for intruders.

Still looking for people, which meant that the person hadn't been caught.

Suren's eyes turned to the sea, wanting to discover Madam Friedel's figure in advance and then take her away safely.

But what he never expected was that he couldn't find her.

The next moment, a soul fluctuation appeared hundreds of meters away.

"She's back?"

Suren also looked incredulous.

She came over so quickly from such a long distance. This was not much slower than spatial teleportation.

Looking again, a human figure condensed out of the sea water on the beach of the desert island. Madam Friedel, with her graceful figure, walked up.

Because she had just transformed, she was not wearing any clothes, so she walked naked on the beach, with her graceful figure fully visible. She was also holding a conch in her hand, which was the Naga race's sacred object [Rainbow Conch].

Suren kept his eyes straight ahead and quickly walked over, asking, "Madam, are you okay?"

Madam Friedel smiled naturally, not at all embarrassed by being naked, and responded, "Of course. Only our Naga people can control the Rainbow Well. Those mages only know how to take elemental energy. So collecting it was not troublesome."

As she said that, she showed the conch in her hand, which contained a pool of very spiritual colorful spring water.

Suren appraised it and it actually showed [Rainbow Well Water]!

He felt very incredible. A well could be collected like this?

Shouldn't spring water have a water vein? Could it actually be contained in a utensil?

"Mm."

Madam Friedel smiled slightly, "The Rainbow Conch was originally used to hold spring water, and it's also thanks to you for helping me find it."

She knew that this was difficult to understand, and explained, "The saying passed down by our Naga ancestors is that the [Rainbow Well] is the physical manifestation of a trace of supreme law. What we see is spring water, but in the eyes of the gods, it should be a precious wisp of high-level law. Gaining insight next to the well water all year round can also gain elemental law insight buffs. This is also the foundation of our Naga race's survival..."

Suren listened and revealed a look of enlightenment, "So that's how it is."

This was probably the Naga race's secret, so naturally it was not known to outsiders.

He didn't expect her to not avoid it and just tell him like this.

As Madam Friedel spoke, she poured out a wisp of rainbow water from the conch again.

That wisp of spring water formed a colorful small water ball in the air. She looked at Suren with a smile and said, "Want to try it?"

Suren knew it was a gift, but he also asked, "Is it okay?"

Because after appraising it, this water ball was too special and too precious.

[Rainbow Well Water Essence]

Explanation: Undiluted Rainbow Law Essence Stock Solution, a treasure of heaven and earth, condensing a hundred grams every hundred years; after taking it, gain Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, Light, Darkness, Gold, Wood seven-elemental law affinity +30, gain a super high elemental law insight gain state, this state will continue to weaken within the next three months;

Simple and crude explanation.

Drinking it is almost equivalent to allowing a professional to obtain one-fifth of an A-level elemental talent.

Moreover, it still enhances the affinity of the seven elements, which is beneficial to almost anyone!

For others, increasing the affinity of other elements might be a bit of a waste, but it was perfect for Suren.

His death law required various elemental affinity insights, the more the better.

However, this well water was very rare, condensing a hundred grams every hundred years.

This mouthful was probably the amount condensed over several decades.

This gift was not light.

Madam Friedel smiled gently and responded, "Of course. You are the benefactor of our Naga race."

These days, Tani told her about the things that happened after she was petrified, so how could she not know that Suren was the great benefactor of her and her son.

Without Suren, Tani might still be that "unlucky guy who always encounters storms" in Pirate City. She herself would not have broken the petrification curse.

And a Naga race without a high priest and without the Rainbow Spring would continue to weaken in the future, or even perish.

From this point of view, it was no exaggeration to say that he saved the entire Naga race.

This kindness was not small.

Suren heard this and shook his head slightly, "You are too polite."

Because this was a gift from Tani's mother, which was half a senior's gift, there was no point in being too polite. He drank the mouthful of rainbow water in one gulp.

In an instant, Suren's expression lit up.

Because the taste was excellent.

The taste of the Rainbow Spring was like sparkling water, rushing into the mouth with a very complex sense of layering. First it was very cool, and then the liquid dissolved in the body, turning into the taste of various fruit juices. It was like the gathering of all the beautiful tastes in the world, and the taste buds and body were a magical experience.

Not only was it delicious, but after the energy in the water dissolved in the body, Suren clearly felt that the surrounding elements seemed to be much closer to him. His own elemental affinity was already high, and with this improvement, it was as if the whole world had become clear. Looking at the mountains and seas was no longer just an appearance. Looking closely, he could vaguely see the fluctuations of the law.

Suren felt great and said to Madam Friedel, "Thank you, Madam, for the generous gift."

Friedel smiled gently and shook her head indifferently.

...

Suren didn't expect to solve the problem of Rainbow Island so smoothly.

Now that the [Rainbow Well] had been taken away, it could not be restored at all, and the island had become an ordinary desert island.

Unable to maintain the teleportation array, and with many sea monsters eyeing them covetously, it was completely meaningless for those mages from the Celestial God Plane to stay here.

Suren wanted to see what they would do next.

He let Madam Friedel go back to the Eternal Night first, and he stayed alone on the desert island to observe the enemy's situation.

He didn't expect that it wouldn't be long before there was action.

Suren watched as huge "rune balloons" slowly rose from Rainbow Island.

After those balloons painted with magic runes rose into the air, the magic towers that were previously on the island were all lifted up and suspended in the sky.

"Magic airships?"

Suren's expression was slightly strange as he watched.

The posture of these guys was probably to lift all the defense facilities on the island with floating airships and take them away?

Don't expect any technological products from the Celestial God Plane. The magic airships in front of him were the most primitive airships. A balloon dragged a hanging basket, with some magic runes such as [Floating Technique] and [Anti-Gravity Technique] added. There was almost no technical content.

This was completely different from steam airships.

Low flying altitude, slow speed, clumsy response... there were a lot of shortcomings.

For most forces, choosing this kind of transportation in this sea area was almost tantamount to courting death.

After all, overlord creatures like giant dragons absolutely did not like anything flying above their heads. This was the case with almost all other high-level magic beasts in this sea area.

Sailboats floating on the sea could still be mistaken for a piece of rotten wood and ignored; but if you used an airship to float in the sky, and there were such strong magic fluctuations, it would be like a torch in the night, which could be seen clearly from dozens of nautical miles away.

It was by no means a good choice.

...

"These guys are prepared..."

Suren observed for a while, watching the airships inflate and float one after another. After thinking carefully, he also guessed that this was directly affected by the fact that those guys from the Celestial God Plane lacked seagoing ships.

Choosing airships was also a last resort.

Suren was also glad that the decision was decisive at the beginning.

At the beginning, when the enemy first came to the Dragon Kingdom sea area, their foundation was unstable, and the camp defense facilities were not yet set up, which allowed the Dawn Group to catch them off guard and destroy most of their warships.

Otherwise, even if they stood still, the artillery would not be able to cause too much damage to that kind of legion restriction. They might even be counterattacked along the traces.

And ordinary people using this magic airship would most likely be courting death, but those people from the Celestial God Plane were different.

Seven or eight ten-thousand-man magic legions were clustered together, which was equivalent to more than ten Ninth-Order professionals gathered together.

It was needless to say how terrifying this combat power was.

As long as they didn't encounter special circumstances, they would most likely be able to push through the periphery of the Dragon Kingdom ruins.

Moving out in such a hurry, apart from having no choice but to cut off the teleportation array, more importantly, the gods of the Celestial God Plane were anxious to find the [Mimir's Spring].

Suren had roughly guessed what these guys were thinking.

Sure enough!

The fact was similar to what he expected.

In just one day and one night, Suren watched the steam airships on Rainbow Island pieced together one by one, turning into a "super behemoth".

Countless balloons were suspended in the air, pulling a magic tower that was piled up into a super magic castle, and began to float away in a mighty manner.

Suren watched the magic castle being built and floating away on the island, and his mood was also very strange.

Originally, after taking away the Rainbow Well, he wanted to see how these guys would respond, to see if there would be an opportunity to operate again and cause a little loss to the other party by breaking them one by one.

But now, looking at the flying behemoth magic castle, he immediately dismissed the idea.

This thing was purely unreasonable.

Seven or eight ten-thousand-man magic legions were clustered together, whoever got close would die.

Suren felt that even if the Eternal Night launched a super long-distance artillery strike, it would most likely be reduced to ashes in the Ninth-Order legion magic counterattack in minutes.

However, being invincible in offense and defense also meant that the target was large.

If a fight really broke out, there would be no escape.

Where there were flaws, there were ways to deal with them.

A series of plans automatically analyzed in Suren's mind, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came: "Why not lure that Eighth-Order silver dragon to test its strength?"

He hadn't forgotten that there was still a silver dragon that had been beaten badly by the mages, and was bound to want to take revenge fiercely at this moment.

Giant dragons were not just good at fighting alone, they were overlord-level creatures.

And overlord-level creatures also had a hidden ability, which was to be able to drive the sea monsters in the range to help them fight.

An Eighth-Order pure-blooded silver dragon could drive a number of sea monsters that would definitely not be small!
