I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Chapter 1900: Chapter 1025: The True Mastermind?

Mistra suddenly turned her head and saw Lis standing quietly behind her, watching her.

"What?"

Mistra stepped back, her expression extremely shocked.

Hadn’t this guy left earlier?

To avoid exposure, she had even waited longer before appearing.

Just now, as she was thinking about where to go after leaving this Dream World, the two "consciousnesses" within her body were arguing.

As a result, Lis was standing right behind her.

Even Mistra felt a sudden cold sweat of shock.

However, she quickly came to her senses and looked at Lis, saying in a deep voice;

"You noticed something was off long ago and waited specifically for me to come out?"

"You could say that."

Lis looked at Mistra with interest.

During the battle with Mistra’s incarnation as a Divine Calamity, he had sensed many peculiarities.

Thinking about it now, it was very likely that Mistra had intentionally set up an illusion to escape.

Nonetheless, Mistra was willing to abandon the[Magic]Divine Position in order to leave here, which showed considerable determination.

But what Lis was most concerned about now was Mistra’s current status.

From Mistra arguing with herself earlier, it was clear she now had at least two consciousnesses within her body.

One of them was certainly Mistra.

Yet, this consciousness wasn’t the former[Magic Net Goddess]Mistra; rather, it was a new consciousness born from her remains after her fall.

Though she used the name Mistra, fundamentally, she was different from that goddess.

Of course, having inherited part of the[Magic Net Goddess]power, this newly born consciousness possessed near-divine strength.

The other consciousness intrigued Lis even more.

From the conversation between Mistra and it, it seemed to belong to a divine entity that intervened at the end of the[Magic Net Goddess]fall.

However, this consciousness shouldn’t be that divine entity’s true form; it’s likely an incarnation drawn into the event of Mistra’s demise.

During the time Orophin Floating City was sealed, this consciousness merged with the current Mistra.

Previously, Lis failed to notice this because the purposes of the two consciousnesses were clear—they wanted to escape the seal of Orophin Floating City.

Even though they had control over the remnant powers of the[Magic Net Goddess]and the[Magic]Divine Position, they couldn’t leave the Floating City’s seal.

Through countless years spent within, they must have tried many times.

Thus, upon seeing Lis, the performances they put on were all for him to see.

After all, they knew well that without abandoning the[Magic]Divine Position, they definitely couldn’t leave here.

Even if they killed Lis, it wouldn’t resolve the seals crafted by the Nasery Great Arcanists outside.

Therefore, they needed Lis and the Great Arcanists outside to believe Mistra had completely fallen to lift the seal within the Dream World.

After all, with even the[Magic]Divine Position abandoned, how could Mistra possibly still be alive?

Holmes thought this way, so after seeing Lis completely destroy Orophin Floating City and acquire the[Magic]Divine Position, he chose to lift the seal and handed the remaining power to Lis for handling.

However, Lis differed from Holmes.

Through battles with Mistra and her incarnation as a Divine Calamity, Lis personally experienced it all.

Although the entire process was quite turbulent, in the end, Lis resolved it smoothly at some cost.

During the battle, the doubts Lis sensed lingered unconsoled, prompting him to hide and stay behind.

Now, certain surprises awaited him as expected.

Perhaps due to the madness and chaos being destroyed along with the powers of the Divine Calamity, Mistra seemed relatively normal now.

Lis stared at Mistra, smiling, and said:

"I genuinely didn’t expect you’d find a way to separate yourself from the Divine Calamity’s powers; how did you do it?"

"You’ve already taken the[Magic]Divine Position; can’t you let me leave here?"

Mistra looked at Lis, pitifully, her appearance seemingly able to move anyone.

But Lis remained indifferent, instead looking at Mistra with interest:

"Is this ’Mistra’ now? Then who does the other consciousness within you belong to?"

Seeing Lis remain utterly unmoved, Mistra’s expression turned somber.

"Even though I’ve inherited part of that goddess’ power and memory, I’m an entirely different person from her."

"With the[Magic]Divine Position taken by you, I pose no threat to you now; can’t you let me leave here?"

"You’re still not getting it."

Lis shook his head slightly, smiling, and said:

"In fact, for us Arcanists, even without any hatred, seeing someone as unique as you brings joy."

"If you want to have a slightly better time in the future, be honest and answer my questions."

Listening to Lis, Mistra’s face looked grim.

Though the memory inherited from the[Magic Net Goddess]was quite fragmented, she knew what Arcanists were.

They are a group with not the slightest fear of the great Divine, spending their lives chasing magic and knowledge.

Her current state, in the eyes of Arcanists, is likely the best experimental material.
