Chapter 206: The Floating City, Ascend!
Chapter 206: The Floating City, Ascend!
"Activate the first energy source."
"Connect all the demon network channels."
"Prepare the Labyrinth Lock."
"Floating City, ascend!"
With the final command, the massive Floating City rose into the sky with a thunderous roar.
A vast Labyrinth Lock, formed from hell, enveloped the entire Floating City, isolating it from the various gales and energies outside.
Qin Muye controlled the Floating City to move, not only suspending it in the air but also using hell to enter the spatial rifts, forming a separate plane. This meant that unless Qin Muye actively opened it or moved it, finding his Floating City would require considerable spatial expertise.
And even if someone found it, entering it would be another matter entirely.
Territory: Dimensional Floating City
Rank: 4
Ascension: 50,000,000 gold coins, 5,000,000 units of ore, 5,000,000 units of wood, 500,000 units of gems, 500,000 units of crystals, 500,000 units of sulfur, 500,000 units of mercury, 10,000,000 units of stored magic power
Buildings: 500 types of ordinary buildings (1016/500), 50 types of rare buildings (63/50), 10 types of special buildings (5/10), all building levels reaching LV5 (4/5)
Heroes: All heroes reaching level 40 (1/1)
Resources: Daily average output of ordinary resources reaching 100,000 (800,000/100,000)
Requirements: Lord reaching LV40
Qin Muye watched as his territory underwent a significant transformation. Without even mentioning the change from the original mage tower to a Dimensional Floating City, the ascension conditions had also changed dramatically.
The required resources had quintupled, and an additional 10,000,000 units of stored magic power were needed. This was not a problem, as the energy chamber currently generated 100,000,000 units of stored energy daily, and the daily maintenance required 10,000,000 units of stored energy to sustain the massive Floating City.
His Floating City was not just a Floating City but also a Dimensional Floating City, essentially a plane. Since it was integrated into the Floating City, the expenses naturally came from him.
"Other things aside, why are there more types of special buildings, and why can't the building levels be upgraded anymore?"
"But thinking about it, it makes sense. The territory is stronger, so the ascension resources can't remain unchanged."
Qin Muye couldn't help but think of the Sacred Dragon Nest of the True Dragon Emperor. The ascension difficulty of the other party probably wasn't as high as his Dimensional Floating City.
After all, he had invested a great deal.
As for the area of hell, Qin Muye didn't have to worry about it not keeping up with the Floating City in the future. All of this had been accounted for, with 5,000,000 units of magic power likely used to expand the Labyrinth Lock of hell, and the remaining 5,000,000 units used to expand the area of the Floating City.
"Finally, it's a success. Running away will be much more convenient in the future."
Qin Muye had already installed the hyper-spatial teleportation channel in the Floating City. In the future, when he went on missions, he wouldn't go alone but would bring the entire Floating City with him.
"This way, the Hell Projection will be useful."
The Hell Projection could project the hell's minions when Qin Muye encountered enemies. Originally, it was useless because no one was in his Ruby Hell.
But now, it was different. Hell had become a Dimensional Labyrinth Lock, meaning that even if Qin Muye was alone, he wouldn't have to worry about enemies. The number of spirits in the Floating City determined the number of projections he could release.
This made it officially useful, which was something Qin Muye had anticipated when he exchanged for it.
Of course, it wasn't just the Hell Projection. The newly acquired title, Ruby King, was the highlight.
Title: Ruby King
Attributes:
1. When in hell, all attributes × (rank × 100%), immune to all negative effects.
2. During battles, can release Hell Projection. In the Hell Projection, allied troops gain +50% all attributes and -50% negative effects, while enemy troops suffer -50% all attributes and +50% negative effects. Consumption: (rank × 1000) magic power per second.
3. Heroes in hell gain an additional (rank × 10%) experience points.
A purely auxiliary title, but all three attributes were quite excellent, especially the last one, which was perfect for boosting the attributes of his heroes who stayed at home.
Now, he could gain an additional 40% experience, which was a bit less, but with the numerous energy structures that Qin Muye had, it still made a significant difference.
After the Floating City was built, reaching level 40 in a day might be a bit challenging, but achieving it in three days while lying around was entirely possible.
Qin Muye had already reached level 40, but he hadn't bothered with the advancement tasks because their requirements were quite excessive. He hadn't pursued them because they were too demanding, especially since they required his territory to be at rank 5. Upgrading his Floating City to rank 5 would be no small feat.
Now that he had the Floating City, Qin Muye didn't have to be confined to one place anymore.
"Master, we can start the cleanup plan now!" Black Hand stood by his side, respectfully saying.
The cleanup plan targeted the erosion, minions, and relics caused by the awakening of the Ancient Gods.
The weapons on his Floating City weren't mere bows and arrows, but rather advanced alchemical cannons derived from the analysis and improvement of alien weapons from the Iron Blood Warrior's spaceship. One blast from these cannons was enough to take out most factions.
Moreover, he could earn experience and points in the process.
In the past, he hadn't had the desire to do much because his territory couldn't move. Now, he could simply send his people out in the Floating City to handle missions, something that most lords couldn't do.
Qin Muye was now self-sufficient. Even if he were cut off from all external supplies and thrown into a magic-less world, he could still operate smoothly. His use of multiple energy systems and scientifically advanced resource structures ensured that he wouldn't lack for anything.
Theoretically, he could hide in a place for a thousand or ten thousand years, but if he emerged, he might be killed on the spot by other lords. However, if he were to outlast the natives, it wouldn't be a problem. But competing with lords in terms of time was definitely not a wise move, as their development was incredibly rapid.
From the moment he arrived in this world until now, the average native would need the combined efforts of six generations to achieve his level of strength. Qin Muye, however, had developed this much in less than two years.
And the True Dragon Emperor and other lords were even more impressive, having subdued gods.
"Thinking about it, I might be able to take on those 6th-rank gods. Although I'm only at the 4th rank, my territory is strong."
A round of alchemical star cannon fire would not only take out a god but also create a hole in their divine realm. In addition to that, he had various crimson fission bombs, hell fusion cannons, anti-magic fields, spatial displacement slicers, and other weapons. Once a full-scale attack was launched, Qin Muye was confident that these gods wouldn't last three minutes. If they did, he could extend the coverage to ten minutes.
He had a wide array of weapons combining modern technology, Iron Blood civilization techniques, and magical alchemy. Even in terms of landing battles, boarding actions, and aerial combat, he was well-prepared. Each gargoyle-level armor equipped on his goblins was a high-level treasure, providing magic immunity, the ability to fly and dive, and survival in extreme environments. With significant attribute boosts and adaptability, even a charge by the White Pigeon cavalry in the air was possible.
Qin Muye had already started developing golem-level mechs for patrol duties. Relying solely on gargoyle-level armor for patrols wasn't enough. Once the Titan-level megastructures were developed to guard the Floating City, security would be even higher.
"I wonder if I can match up against the True Dragon Emperor and others now?"
"Probably not. While their dragon units may not have the skills of the goblins, their attributes are enough to overwhelm."
"Moreover, their resources are much deeper than mine."
Qin Muye knew that if he needed to run, no one could catch him. He had developed a series of spatial functions centered around the hyper-spatial teleportation channel, allowing him to move his Floating City anywhere, even into spatial rifts. However, moving within spatial rifts was extremely energy-consuming.
So, he generally avoided entering spatial rifts and focused on evasion.
But in terms of direct combat, he couldn't match the top 5 lords on the leaderboard. His survival skills, whether through interdimensional labyrinth locks or hyper-spatial teleportation, were top-notch.
"First, I'll earn some points, find some powerful Ancient God minions, and see if I can open a dungeon scroll. Then I'll go on a dungeon run."
For the future, Qin Muye planned to take what he could and trade if necessary. Relying solely on trading for resources was too slow. Without strength, he would have to do it this way, but with strength, why go through such trouble?
Long-term benefits were great, but if he could gather them all at once, wouldn't he save a lot of time and effort?
