I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Chapter 1889: Chapter 1020: Holmes’s Instructions (2)

"The number of Mages now should be far less than during the time of Nasery."

"However, this is also a good thing, signifying that Mages have no restraints and do not need to submit to anyone, achieving true freedom."

"Perhaps they do not understand this now, but I believe the emergence of Lis represents that we did not make a mistake."

"However, if Lis, you take away the [Magic] Divine Position, although I do not wish to say this, in the future it may fall into the hands of another deity."

"Lis, do you understand the consequences?"

"I understand."

Lis nodded solemnly.

He naturally understood Holmes’s concerns, which were also the matters he had adhered to for countless years.

To make Holmes give up his decades of hold, how could it be a simple matter?

Lis understood this well, so his attitude towards Holmes was quite sincere, with no intention of concealment.

"As long as you understand, then I won’t say more."

Holmes looked at Lis, able to feel the other’s firm will, and nodded in satisfaction.

At this moment, the sense of fatigue that had accumulated over millennia was stripped away from Holmes, and he seemed to return to his former sharpness and edge as the Great Arcanist.

"I am willing to trust you, but I must also ensure that the worst-case scenario will not occur."

"The seals around Orophin Floating City were formed from the exhaustion of our magic power, spirit, and souls."

"As you passed through the dream spaces of others, the power left after those dream spaces disappeared, I collected them."

"Now, even if it’s only my dream space left, it can maintain the seal on Orophin Floating City for a very long time."

"However, if you wish to enter Orophin Floating City, the situation will be somewhat different."

Holmes looked at Lis and said solemnly.

"I can allow you to enter Orophin Floating City, but the opportunity is only this once."

"To allow you entry into Orophin Floating City, the seals may undergo some changes."

"Once you enter, I will put all my power into stabilizing the Floating City’s seal, at that time I won’t be able to assist you."

"I understand."

Lis nodded, his voice steady.

"Likewise, if you are able to successfully obtain the [Magic] Divine Position, naturally there’s no need to say more, and the seal will no longer be necessary."

Holmes looked at Lis and continued:

"However, if you fail and leave Orophin Floating City, our power has already been used to stabilize the Floating City’s seal, and it will not be possible to let you enter the Floating City again on purpose."

"At that time, if you wish to obtain the [Magic] Divine Position, you would have to choose to forcefully break the seal."

"At that time, what will happen, I do not know, and it’s beyond prediction."

"The opportunity is only once."

Holmes said with extreme seriousness.

"I understand, please trust me."

Lis naturally understood Holmes’s intention.

The sealing of a deity is extremely difficult to achieve, even if Mistra has fallen, what one would face then is still unpredictable to anyone.

"Since that’s the case, I have nothing much to caution you about."

Holmes shook his head and said with a smile:

"I hope you succeed, Lis."

"At this point, I’m inclined to pray to the Lucky Goddess for your success."

"I hope so too."

Faced with Holmes’s little joke, Lis also nodded, then asked:

"Sir Holmes, do you know what the situation in Orophin Floating City is presently?"

The fall of a powerful deity, its impact restrained within just one Floating City, the dangers and strangeness within are imaginable.

With only one chance, Lis finds it difficult to make specific preparations, hoping to get some help from Holmes.

Hearing this, Holmes shook his head slightly and said:

"Unfortunately, though I’ve observed Orophin Floating City for many years, I’ve discovered nothing."

"Currently, Orophin Floating City is distorted by the power after Mistra’s fall, what is seen is not true, and I cannot offer you any advice."

"However, I can confirm that Orophin Floating City is extremely dangerous now."

"That [Magic] Divine Position lies at the center of Orophin Floating City, which is also where Mistra went mad and fell."

"Moreover, aside from Mistra’s divine power, there is also residual power of other deities present."

"In Mistra’s fall, other deities covertly intervened, but I cannot ascertain which deities."

"The powers of deities there are extremely distorted now; I do not know what kind of monsters this will give birth to."

"Caution in all things is paramount."

Although Holmes knew little about Orophin Floating City, he still gave Lis many hints and guidance.

Mentioning this, Holmes suddenly remembered something and said to Lis:

"Be careful, once you enter Orophin Floating City, do not rely too much on the power of magic."

"With the [Magic] Divine Position there, your magic and arcane arts might go out of control or be secretly clouded."

"This is something we noticed during our battle with Mistra, the [Magic] Divine Position is currently within Orophin Floating City, so you must be aware."

"I understand, thank you for your reminder."

Lis nodded in response.

If Mistra, with the [Magic] Divine Position, could affect the magic used by the Great Arcanists, it’s no wonder that Holmes and the other Great Arcanists were finally compelled to burn their souls to seal it.

If they used magic power, it might be directly breached, right?

However, it had already been mentioned that when Mistra fell, besides the Great Arcanists, there was also divine power intervention.

To meddle with the fall of a powerful deity like Mistra would require at least a presence of powerful divine power.

Such a situation, to conceal itself from Holmes and others’ perception, seems very normal.

However, the decisiveness and determination of Holmes and they surely took the intervening deities by surprise.

After all, though Mistra has fallen, the [Magic] Divine Position she possessed was entirely sealed into the Dream World by the Great Arcanists.

Those deities have not discovered this place for countless years; one can only say that Holmes and their decision back then was too crucial.

"Alright, there’s little need for further words."

Holmes stood up, looking at Lis:

"Now I will send you into Orophin Floating City, I hope you can obtain and take away the [Magic] Divine Position."

"Mm."

Lis also stood up.

Holmes raised his right hand, pointing at Lis’s position.

Lis felt the advent of an invisible force, yet did not resist.

Suddenly, fierce flames surged from Lis’s body, transforming into a flash of fire entering the fireplace of the small house.

After doing all this, Holmes leaned back exhaustedly on the recliner, his gaze piercing through the small house and the sky outside, directly to the Orophin Floating City shrouded in inexplicable power.

After a long silence, Holmes softly spoke:

"Osiris, was it you who guided him here?"

"You are truly inscrutable, who exactly are you? What do you intend to do?"

Holmes’s words seemed to inquire of someone, yet also like he was questioning himself.

However, it seems these questions go unanswered.

Holmes closed his eyes in exhaustion, wrapped himself in a blanket, and fell into a deep sleep.

His entire spirit was now focused on controlling the entire seal, preparing for any unexpected incidents and impacts that might occur at any time.

...

On the other side, in Minos Floating City,

First Councilman Osiris stood in the Titan Giant Temple, his gaze piercing through the world in front of him, settling on Lis’s figure.

At this moment, Lis had successfully entered Orophin Floating City.

"I hope you can find restful sleep, Holmes."

"Mistra’s remnants, along with the monsters birthed by the powers of those few... "

"I don’t know how much longer I have to wait before I can close my eyes like you..."
