Chapter 952: The Creation of Godly Item (Part 1)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Saleen and Lex discussed their next move and decided to attack Sikeqinya instead of invading Phoenix. By the time the Holy See army entered Phoenix and the Qin Empire was unable to render any aid, the Metatrin Kingdom would step in.

In Lonestar City, the soldiers were having a good time. The army outside the city had finally been defeated. Based on their understanding, since the million-strong army had been defeated, Lonestar City would no longer be under threat for the time being.

The happiest people in the city were Nailisi, Nicholas, and Aini. The three of them looted the battlefield. Saleen did not wish to take any prisoners, so approximately one-third of the 900,000 were killed. Almost 20,000 were killed every hour.

The number of souls in Nicholas’ blood soul tower has increased to 180,000. The new souls were all more powerful than the ones that he had collected, since they were heroes that had died fighting on the battlefield.

Nicholas’ powers kept increasing and his lifespan was also gradually recovering. He was pleased that advancement was within sight.

Nailisi and Aini each managed to collect close to 100,000 souls as well. Both of them had their own uses for the souls and the collaboration has changed Aini’s perception of Nailisi. She would selfishly keep everything for herself.

What Aini did not know was that if Nailisi had kept everything for herself, it meant she would have to be responsible for all the possible repercussions.

Nailisi had collected souls for future use, hence she only kept them instead of refining them or erasing their memories. When the souls entered Nailisi’s blood soul tower, they felt as if they had entered a foreign world. There was only darkness, which was truly terrifying.

Nevertheless, the souls felt no pain. After some time, they assumed that they had entered the legendary purgatory.

As for Aini, once he collected the souls, he left his soul brand in the blood soul tower and erased their memories so that they could bow to him as a God.

Aini was not a Holy Master and did not desire for any religious power, so he began to transmit soul energy into the blood soul tower. It was with great effort that Aini saved up the soul energies. Saleen had given him some when they met. After transmitting his soul energy into the blood soul tower, he began to modify the souls one by one.

After the souls had their memories erased, they could be manipulated by Aini in any way he wanted. A thin layer of armor appeared on each soul. It was the first step of soul-refining technique. Most death mages were not fond of the practice and even for those that utilized it would only keep a few hundred souls to command spirit armies.

Within a short time, Aini managed to create more than 80,000 heroic spirits. All the spirits deemed him to be a God, so he would not have to use up mental strength when leading them. Aini was overjoyed. The blood soul tower was a rare equipment in even the demon dimension. Even devils rarely possessed them.

However, it was not possible to lead 800,000 heroic spirits at once. Aini would develop 36 of them and isolate them on a single level before nurturing them with some soul energy. At the end of the day, the heroic spirits would be developed into life spirits that possessed intelligence. They would resemble spirits of the dead but were devoid of any flesh and blood and could only use equipment that Aini has refined for them.

The number of soldiers stationed in the city was close to 500,000, and including the craftsmen and coolies, the total figure was close to 600,000. Saleen deployed metal flying machines as scouts to search for the Supreme Court’s army. Separately, he also ordered craftsmen and coolies to head to a castle 200 miles away to the north to expand the area of defense.

Aini had lost quite a number of spirits of the dead but had summoned more than he could control. By summoning spirits on a daily basis, the spirit army could be maintained at a strength of 600,000 and above.

Saleen knew that there was no need for so many troops to be stationed in the city, hence he deployed 100,000 soldiers to the castle in the north to make preparations. For the knights of Metatrin Kingdom, they would be able to cover the 200 miles in three hours.

Sharman was bored. She was infuriated by how Saleen had brought her out but then did not care about her. The people around Saleen were extremely weird, and she dared not offend them, hence she found a chance to look for Nailisi to rant.

Sharman knew that Nailisi was Saleen’s bodyguard. If she could gain the favor of Nailisi, perhaps Saleen might give her a chance to lead an army?

Lately, Nailisi was often seen in Aini’s magic tower. Therefore, Sharman had no choice but awkwardly walk past a few bone demons and walk up the magic tower.

“Sharman, how can I help you?” Aini looked at Sharman and asked with a smile.

“Brother Aini, I’m looking for Nailisi.” Sharman looked left and right but did not see Nailisi anywhere. It was the highest level of the magic tower. Where has Nailisi gone to?

“Nailisi is not here. You can tell me what is on your mind.”

Sharman frowned but remembered that although Aini was a death mage, he was also one of the Dukes of the kingdom. His rank was not lower than that of her sister. Besides, Aini had a better relationship with Saleen. Perhaps talking to him could work.

Nailisi was actually in the magic tower, but Sharman was unable to see her. At the moment, Nailisi was in her 12 Notes of Purgatory and was very upset. In the previous battle, Nailisi had collected large amounts of elemental power and had thought that she could use it to expand the 12 Notes of Purgatory. However, when she entered the 12 Notes of Purgatory, she discovered that not only had the dimension remained the same, the elemental power that she had absorbed had disappeared.

What was left was the dimension that Eleanor had hidden in and some floating plants that had already wilted.

Nailisi’s 12 Notes of Purgatory had lost the ability to self-restore. Although Master had eliminated all the issues, the power of the Star Gathering Needle was immense. Perhaps Saleen had not managed to control some of the powers properly and had destroyed some of the functions of the 12 Notes of Purgatory, so that it could no longer self-restore.

Nailisi wanted to cry. Each individual dimension was only about 10 cubic meters, pathetically small. Could it be that they could only be used as space equipment in the future? Even if it could contain live people, it would still be meaningless! If not for the fact that Eleanor had the ability to grow some plants to provide some breathing air, even Eleanor would have suffocated.

Has the equipment become useless? Nailisi knocked on the edges of the dimension with all her might but was unable to transmit any of her power. The dimensions of the 12 Notes of Purgatory had become extremely strange. When Nailisi’s fist made contact with the edge of the dimension, she felt as if she was punching emptiness.

Nailisi gritted her teeth as she took out her blood soul tower. She had refined the tower in secret with materials that Saleen gave her. Of all the blood soul towers that she had refined, she had given two to winged skull, one to Nichola,s and the final one to Aini. This tower, which she had kept for herself, was of the highest quality.

The 80,000 or so heroic spirits in the blood soul tower have yet to have their memories erased. In a fit of anger, Nailisi squeezed the blood soul tower so hard that it exploded and tens of thousands of souls floated out. The material of the blood soul tower was absorbed by the dimension and instantaneously, tens of thousands of demonic words began to float around while the entire dimension began to expand.

Without any hesitation, Nailisi transformed into her devil-form. She split open her chest with her sharp fingernails. When the devil’s heart was pierced, purple-black blood squirted out into the dimension. The heroic spirits began to howl while surrounding Nailisi and absorbing the blood of the devil.

The blood of the devil squirted out of Nailisi’s wound and in less than a minute, Nailisi collapsed on the ground. The heroic spirits that had been tainted with her blood began to turn into demonic symbols and float into the emptiness of the dimension. The expanded portions of the dimension began to form land and sky.

Nailisi fell heavily to the ground. Instead of returning to her original form, she continued to rest in her devil-form. She wanted to witness the transformation of the dimension.

Since the 12 Notes of Purgatory has been destroyed, Nailisi was determined to rebuild it herself. The equipment was originally a grade 10 item and was already severely damaged. While repairing it, Nailisi understood many principles of the 12 Notes of Purgatory. The grade of the materials required to build the item was too high. Since the original method of refining had failed completely, Nailisi was determined to refine a purgatory that belonged solely to her.

The first dimension would be the Purgatory of Devils.

The heroic spirits had already been contaminated with the blood of the devil and would turn into devil-forms. Of course, they would never surpass grade 10. Nailisi did not mind. She could keep more heroic spirits in this dimension in future. The blood soul tower might have been destroyed but the Purgatory of Devils had expanded. From then on, there would be additional equipment for transporting demon armies.

At that thought, Nailisi began to laugh.

She could use that dimension to breed magic bugs and transport demons. By the time she could grasp the most powerful rule of demons, the dimension could be expanded further into a demonic interdimensional space.

Who said it was all wishful thinking? By the time all eight of Nailisi’s powers could be combined together, it would surpass even Godly Items. Even Lex’s God’s Ring would be no match for her 12 Notes of Purgatory.

Nailisi was so excited that she screamed as she stood up. She wielded a shield in her left hand and a long lance in her right. In the empty dimension, all 80,000 heroic spirits screamed along with Nailisi. However, as the heroic spirits were still very weak, they were unable to transform into demons to fight for Nailisi.

With the extension of Nailisi’s mental strength, the ground that she stood on became firmer. The power of the shards of the blood soul tower had been completely unleashed, transforming the dimension into a small piece of land. The piece of land was only 10 miles in size but already consisted of everything from mountains, to rivers, to the sun and the moon to constellations.

Nailisi could even sense a burning core that was slowly forming under the ground.

It was the home that Nailisi’s heart has always belonged to – the demon dimension. The environment was harsh and there would always be killing. In this dimension, amongst the mountains on the edges, there was a platform that was the size of a few meters. It was the hiding place that Nailisi’s parents had prepared for her.
