Chapter Vol. 3 Ch. 147
【Sethlin, can you sense the location of the divine fragments?】
Fluttering her dazzling Divine Feathers, while flying in the air with her pet, Violet didn’t forget to ask the guide who she had tucked away in her pocket.
The Sky City was already shrouded in gray clouds and mist. The reason it hadn’t completely descended yet was probably because the caster of this scene was being restrained by someone, coupled with the fact that the protective barrier of the city was still in effect.
【I can’t sense it. It’s probably hidden by something. But there’s another extremely powerful, unmistakable aura of [life] and [withering] divine essence here, at least half the size of Seth at her peak, near the top of that tower.】
After obtaining the divine fragments Sethlin had once detached from the Abyssal Island and from within those worm bodies, Sethlin’s power had also been significantly restored. Although it definitely couldn’t compare to the Goddess of Withering who was causing trouble, and she was still sealed, her perception of the outside world had expanded to a considerable extent.
At least she no longer needed Violet to relay and describe everything like before.
What she sensed undoubtedly was the other half of the consciousness of the former Goddess of Earth she had contacted in the illusion. The familiar death fog in the sky was obviously also from His hand.
So, the goal was clear.
During the flight to the Sky Temple, Violet also took the opportunity to observe the situation of the city from above.
To be honest, it’s not looking good.
Although most of the death fog has been blocked by barriers, it seems that a small amount has still managed to seep into various areas.
Basically, anything below the Earth-level can’t withstand this kind of power and is doomed upon contact. Plus, it seems like there are a lot of strange individuals taking advantage of the chaos, distracting the Winged Guardians’ defense forces. Now, everything is in turmoil.
Currently, Violet doesn’t have the time or the inclination to deal with these matters. However, the Kingdoms’ envoy was personally entrusted to her by Lilya before she left. Regardless, its safety must be ensured.
Then there’s Theresa. When Miss Priestess teleported her over, she sensed the fluctuation of the light elemental spirit left behind by her. It seems like she’s in battle, and her location isn’t far from the embassy, indicating that Edwina is indeed following her instructions.
The light elemental spirit is a Lv70 summon. While it definitely can’t defeat the Goddess of Withering Seth, it’s not much inferior to the angel Hilda. Plus, with Edwina, some riffraff won’t be able to do much against them.@@@@
Judging from the situation seen when leaving the embassy, as long as the main battlefield in the sky doesn’t collapse, there shouldn’t be any issues here.
So, for now, there’s no need to worry.
Lost in thought, Miss Priestess and her dragon companion have already arrived at the entrance to the Sky Temple.
Unlike most of the buildings of the Winged People, the Sky Temple is different. Although it’s tall enough to almost not see the top, it wasn’t built with a direct pathway from the sky into the interior.
When did beastmen start colluding with the Winged People? Wasn’t Sigrid investigating their relationship with the Abyss before?
And among these beastmen, Miss Priestess didn’t see any traces of the tiger-person Kunnir or that half-dragon.
Strange...
But this isn’t much related to Violet, or rather, there’s no need to rush to figure it out immediately. Her current goal is simply to take advantage of this opportunity to uncover the secrets hidden within the Sky Temple and to meet the Goddess of Withering Seth who wants to cause trouble.
Putting on her Chameleon Cloak, Violet, along with her pet, quietly bypassed the tight defense line formed by the Winged People and slipped towards the entrance of the base of the spire.
Fortunately, this time that damn thing didn’t cause any problems, and Miss Priestess smoothly entered the first level of the Sky Temple.
The surroundings resembled a museum exhibition, with a large number of murals, artifacts, and unidentified objects scattered around the hall. Although the magical lamp still shone brightly, there was not a soul in sight.
Obviously, the staff here had already been evacuated in advance.
After a quick glance around, Violet soon found her target.
In the Winged People’s architecture, there are no stairs. They either fly directly or use spatial teleportation arrays to move, like the silver light in front of Miss Priestess.
Similar arrays, she had seen them more than once in the Azure Sky Kingdom.
Although intuition told Violet that reaching the top of the tower was definitely not that simple, she adopted the attitude of “how do you know if you don’t try,” and directly stepped onto it.
However, as a precaution, she decided to let her Xiao Guang stay outside for the time being to adapt to any situation.
“Swoosh~”
The silver light flashed around her. After a slight sensation of floating, Violet appeared in another space.
Here... the area was basically the same size as the first floor of the spire, or perhaps slightly smaller, but it was empty. Besides the magic runes underfoot and another array emitting silver light in front of her, there were only empty walls and ceilings.
Could this be...?
The black-haired girl squinted her silver-blue eyes slightly, then smiled.
“So that’s how it is.”
