I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Chapter 1893: Chapter 1022: Mistra’s Proposal (Part 2)

Mistra looked at Lis and said with a smile.

In Lis’s focused gaze, Mistra slowly raised her fair, slender right hand.

Her fingers spread open, graceful and holy.

Lis could feel the divine power surging; layers of transparent ripples suddenly appeared in her palm.

Without earth-shattering phenomena or turbulent magical fluctuations, a translucent and illusory Law Crystal slowly emerged from the void and settled firmly in her palm.

This crystal was not a solid form of ordinary matter, but was entirely a clear flowing brilliance, without a fixed shape inside.

Lis could see thousands of Magic Runes flowing like rivers, slowly moving, changing, weaving, and merging.

Endless magic patterns were forming and dissolving in the depths of the crystal, cycling perpetually, as if engraved with all the magic since the birth of Gaia World.

It floated in Mistra’s palm, emitting a gentle yet supreme faint radiance, as if all spells, arrays, magic power, and arcane knowledge were encompassed within this tiny crystal.

Gazing quietly at this unique treasure, Lis’s body suddenly tensed, and a huge wave surged in his heart.

Since he entered the Arcane Domain and studied magic over the years, he had never had such an extreme and intense perception.

A deep craving from the depths of his soul instantly swept through his entire being.

The magic power around him trembled uncontrollably, and the arcane power circulating within him boiled and leaped frantically.

Like a bird long lost finding its final home, every part of his body resonated madly towards the direction of the crystal.

This was a source power beyond all magic, the ultimate goal all spellcasters dreamed of throughout their lives.

Lis’s pupils slightly contracted, his breathing subconsciously slowed, completely overtaken by the luminous crystal.

Even though his will had undergone countless refinement, at this moment, he was completely captivated by the position of the [Magic] divine.

Unlike other divine positions Lis had encountered before, this was the first time he felt such desire,

after all, to Lis, magic was the power he pursued all his life and the foundation of all his strength.

So, the [Magic] divine position gave Lis completely different feelings.

Moreover, Lis could confirm this was truly the [Magic] divine position.

However, after feeling his body and soul’s craving for the [Magic] divine position, an intense hunger surged within Lis.

Is this... a change brought by the [Wisdom] rule?

Lis instantly sensed the source of this hunger.

The [Wisdom] rule he mastered was yearning hungrily for the [Magic] divine position before him.

Was this hunger a desire to devour the [Magic] divine position?

Lis somehow felt that if he let the [Wisdom] rule devour this [Magic] divine position, he might touch his current limit and could truly start the attempt at Ascension.

This also made Lis crave the [Magic] divine position even more.

But similarly, faced with such a situation, Lis quickly controlled his emotions.

After all, he hadn’t obtained the [Magic] divine position yet!

Considering this now might be too early.

What’s more, Lis felt this [Magic] divine position wouldn’t be so easy to acquire.

"You said you wanted me to help you leave here, what should I do?"

Lis paused for a moment and looked at Mistra.

"That is your business."

Mistra withdrew the [Magic] divine position and said with a slight smile.

"To be honest, although I inherited some memories of the [Magic Net Goddess], I don’t know how to leave here either."

"In fact, I can’t even leave this pit I’m in."

"Although the [Magic] divine position is with me, I can’t understand the seal left by the Great Arcanists."

"Yet the seal hasn’t malfunctioned, but you have managed to come here..."

"At the very least, you must be a mage no less than those Great Arcanists, right?"

Mistra’s words were full of temptation.

Lis looked at Mistra, also smiling slightly:

"Let’s not talk about whether I can help you, what if you don’t give me the [Magic] divine position?"

"It seems we don’t have any trust between us."

"Of course, I understand that."

Mistra directly said:

"But I can’t trust you either, because in Mistra’s memories, mages are not very trustworthy people."

"Thus, I can’t hand over the [Magic] divine position to you in advance."

"Therefore, I have a proposal."

Mistra slowly said:

"Why don’t you first consider how to release me from this cage before you."

"If you can achieve that, I can place the [Magic] divine position at the deepest part of the pit."

"Then figure out a way for me to leave this Floating City."

"At that time, you can enter the pit to break my seal and obtain the [Magic] divine position, and I will have sufficient time to leave the Floating City. How does that sound?"

"Sounds like it’s very feasible."

Lis nodded and then continued:

"However, I feel like you’ve considered everything."

"That’s natural."

Mistra looked up at the gloomy sky, smiled bitterly, and said:

"I don’t want to stay here anymore; I want to see the world in memory."

"I have waited countless ages for your arrival."

"So, I won’t say much more."

Mistra looked at Lis solemnly and said:

"This is just a transaction; I don’t need to know who you are."

"As long as you can prove you can help me leave here, you will get the [Magic] divine position. Isn’t it enough?"

"I will consider it."

Lis did not agree directly.

"Certainly, I am not short of this time."

Mistra nodded and said.

...

Around the dead silent pit, cold airflow spiraled slowly, enveloping the entire dark space.

Lis stood in place, frowning slightly, his mind deeply immersed in contemplating Mistra’s proposal.

He repeatedly pondered over the pros and cons of the words, examining any hidden traps.

The pit beside him was eerily quiet, Mistra’s figure stood quietly at the edge of the pit, motionless.

She had restrained all divine power fluctuations, appearing entirely devoid of movement, with no ulterior motive.

Seemingly genuinely patiently waiting for Lis’s response, gentle and peaceful.

Yet the calmer it was, the stronger Lis’s unease grew.

An indescribable sense of discord pervaded him, impossible to shake off.

The surrounding dead silence was too deliberate, and the opponent’s silence was too abnormal.

This silent pit seemed to Lis like a tense web waiting for the moment the prey lets down its guard.

Just as Lis’s mind sank, attempting to capture the cause of the oddity, the surrounding environment suddenly changed.

The stagnant air around warped and trembled, and the previously slowly flowing beer suddenly turned violent.

The light and shadows of the entire space twisted erratically, and the surrounding scenery overlapped, blurred, and distorted, completely overturning its original appearance.

The spatial barrier emitted subtle yet sharp humming, and a silent sense of oppression swept over him.

In an instant, the pit was empty, Mistra’s figure vanished without a trace.

In a blink of an eye, she had broken through the spatial barriers, silently appearing inches before Lis.

The originally gentle and quiet aura vanished entirely, replaced by an overwhelming, crushing divine power.

Divine power surged like the sea, erupting forcefully, aiming to crush everything towards Lis.

This seemed to intend to imprison all his actions in an instant, controlling his body.

The sudden change caught Lis off guard, unable to muster his power for defense or escape.

Brilliant divine light burst around him, countless solid divine power shackles broke through the air and entwined.

These shackles overlapped densely, immediately locking down his limbs and torso.

The rigid, cold divine power shackles tightly bound his body, their force domineering and unparalleled, completely blocking any chance of escape or resistance, firmly anchoring him in place.
