“Seven days…” Roland mentally calculated the ascent speed observed by Lightning, and found that the result had completely exceeded the scope of "weapons." "Wait, you don't plan to raze the entire Fertile Plains, do you?"
This time was enough for the God-Making God to become a cataclysmic disaster. By then, not only would the entire plain be destroyed, but the Dawn Territory and the Black Stone Domain would also be severely affected. A floating landmass tens of kilometers in diameter falling from an altitude of tens of thousands of meters would create a shock wave sufficient to circle the planet several times. Drastic changes in the terrain would trigger earthquakes and tsunamis. Even devils would find it difficult to escape the impact of such a disaster.
If the Fertile Plains were smashed into a basin and seawater flooded in, and the Dawn Territory's life became extinct, where could they run to? Now that the Celestial Seas Realm was pressing closer step by step, the devils' original plan was to seize human territory to buy time. This would fundamentally conflict with their strategic goals.
Hexode glanced at him with some surprise, "You seem to understand the effect of Plan B very well... This saves me a lot of explaining. Of course, the God-Making God will not keep rising. It will hover in about two days, and then move towards the eastern part of Graycastle. If Mask didn't lie when making the plan, it will eventually land near the sea – this will destroy your kingdom and preserve the two Godstone mines to the greatest extent."
Truly a meticulous plan.
Roland maintained his composure on the surface, but his heart was extremely heavy.
When he learned that the two Great Lords had appeared together, he realized that something major must have happened, so much so that they couldn't even wait for the time it would take to send and receive letters. This was why he risked returning to the hillside.
But he didn't expect the news to be this bad!
If Hexode and Seraphis were willing to cooperate, destroying the core of the God-Making God wouldn't be difficult. But the problem was that the nuclear weapon's detonation device wasn't a mass-produced item from a factory. Even with abundant raw materials, assembly and fitting would take several weeks. The prototype warhead detonated outside the Morning Light Sea last time was the product of the Ministry of Industry's best efforts, and the new combat warhead was still being manufactured in the Neverwinter High-Energy Laboratory. No matter how much they rushed, it was impossible to get it to Morning Light now.
To take a step back, even if he hadn't conducted the experiment in Morning Light, transporting the detonation device to the God-Making God and installing it would take at least a day—and this would allow the floating continent to accumulate the potential energy to destroy most of the Morning Light Kingdom.
"Why didn't you do this from the start? If it only cost a Godstone mine to defeat humanity, you shouldn't have waited until today."
"What do you think the God-Making God is, a cabbage in a farmer's field?" Hexode said unhappily, "Leaving aside the difficulty of combining the magic core and the Tower of Genesis, just a Godstone mine of sufficient scale is rare enough. It only rises for two days because the Godstone will wither after two days—judging from the Hermesian mine's reserves, it doesn't even qualify to execute Plan B."
As expected, it was still due to the limited magic power consumption...
"Since Mask can control it, others should be able to as well." Thoughts raced through Roland's mind, "Haven't you tried this?"
"Human, you're wasting time!" Hexode's tone clearly became impatient, "Even the underground civilization that created the core instruments failed to popularize such a complex thing. Although my race has received inheritance, that doesn't mean everyone possesses such talent, let alone you who haven't received any inheritance at all! Take advantage of the time you have now and run for your life."
"I'm not going anywhere."
"You—!"
Roland picked up his drink and blocked the Lord of the Sky's anger. He took a sip before solemnly saying, "Graycastle and Morning Light have millions of people. There's simply not enough time to move them to the Fjords. And without Neverwinter, humanity will inevitably be unable to stop the enemies from the Celestial Seas Realm. What's the point of me surviving alone? It's just a matter of time." He paused, "And don't forget—as long as the Divine Will Battle doesn't end, you will eventually not escape destruction. Is that what you want?"
"What's the use of saying such nice things?" Hexode sneered, "If it weren't for Valkyrie, I wouldn't even be talking to you about this."
"Undeniably, this information is crucial—on this point, I should say thank you." Roland said frankly, "But your statement is not entirely correct. Inheritance is not only about receiving fragments."
"...What do you mean?"
"For example, Valkyrie is now receiving human inheritance," he looked at Nightmare, "Am I wrong?"
Valkyrie, who had been listening silently, finally spoke, "I don't deny that."
"What riddles are you two playing?" The Lord of the Sky was very dissatisfied.
"Simply put, the essence of inheritance is to accept everything the other party knows, teaching, learning, integrating, and mastering... This in itself is a kind of inheritance." Valkyrie said slowly, "Actually, if you think about it the other way around, you can understand that inheritance doesn't need to be at the cost of the death of the inheritee. That's just the rule of the gods. I am not human, but that doesn't prevent me from learning and mastering their knowledge—in fact, I have learned a lot during my time in the dream world."
Speaking of this, it looked back at Roland, "You knew this all along?"
"Not too early." Roland nodded, "But I further confirmed this guess after seeing you skillfully using your phone to buy products from the Kagard Peninsula. Even if something happens to me, the witches who have entered the dream world will inevitably spread this knowledge."
"Enough! What does this have to do with the God-Making God?" Hexode roared.
"Humans have indeed not obtained inheritance fragments from the underground civilization, but by studying the relics they left behind, they may be able to adjust the core instruments of the God-Making God." Roland said solemnly, "In fact, the Union has done research in this area, and there are still a few witches who possess relevant knowledge. I don't know if they can successfully stop the magic core, but compared to a mass escape or destroying the obelisk in mid-air, this is undoubtedly a method worth trying."
The Lord of the Sky finally understood what he meant, "...Are there really humans who can do this?"
"Although their appearances are a bit... strange, they are undoubtedly members of humanity."
"You're gambling."
"No, this is a choice with no other options." From the beginning, Roland had not considered escaping alone.
"I also agree with this method." Valkyrie said solemnly, "Now that the Bottomless Land has been occupied by the Celestial Seas Realm, and the Royal City is also constantly approaching here, without enough troops, going to the source of magic power will only be empty talk. Since the result can't get any worse, it doesn't hurt to gamble."
Seeing Nightmare speak, Hexode closed his mouth sullenly.
"Since that's the case, let's talk about the God-Making God seizure plan." Roland said.
