Chapter 774 Standing Tall in the North City
Kana left the abyss.
Although he was a god, there was also a corresponding god in the abyss.
However, this does not mean that after he leaves, the Blood War will immediately fall into a disadvantageous position or that the Evil God will immediately join the war and gain the upper hand.
The protagonists of the bloodbath will never be these gods; they will always be seen as a threat on the battlefield.
At their stage, fighting is almost always something to avoid unless it's because of their function, authority, or personal preference.
For example, the Stardust War Colossus, whose deity contains the word "war," undoubtedly possesses related authority.
Therefore, he will actively participate in the bloody battle.
The giant beast that frequently appears in bloody battles on the other side also possesses similar authority.
However, it is said that the power of its rules is killing, fighting, and charging on the battlefield.
That's why these two gods often fight each other on the battlefield.
As for Kana and that three-headed dog...
Neither of them possessed any related rules or authority, so both served as deterrents.
If one side doesn't appear on the battlefield, the chance of the other side appearing is almost zero.
As for why Kana left the Abyss, it was because there were more important things for him to test.
He arrived in that city.
Right next to the towering, black wall known as the "Tower of Trials," which was built brick by brick by the Night's Watch, a brand new city was emerging from the ground at an unprecedented speed.
The shadow of the black tower was cold and vast, like an ancient guardian, silently looking down on the bustling construction site below.
City Around the Tower - North City
Here, the Night's Watch is the absolute protagonist.
Although most of them were new recruits of the Night's Watch.
But no one here would consider them weak.
Their strong arms easily lifted massive boulders weighing thousands of pounds, their movements precise and tireless, with subtle magical halos flashing in the air from time to time, used for cutting, shaping, or brief transport.
But even more striking are the coordinated alchemical creations: rock-carrying golems, their joints spewing steam and rumbling, transporting tons of stone.
The suspended construct shimmered with crystal compound eyes, scanning the building structure with beams of light; countless metal spider-like alchemical creations nimbly climbed the scaffolding, performing intricate tasks such as welding, polishing, and engraving runes.
Such a scene can almost only be seen in areas where the Mage Alliance Council has built its facilities.
You might not even see such a scene in a place like that.
Looking back, perhaps the Alchemy Empire could have seen this scene of construction.
Now, the Night Watch's construction site has been transformed into this incredibly futuristic and technologically advanced scene.
And it was under such construction that the city was built at a rapid pace.
“Hey Barn, seriously,”
The burly Toby steadily hoisted a heavy, cut stone slab onto his shoulder and shouted to the middle-aged Night's Watchman beside him, who was directing the rock golems to move the slabs, his voice filled with hearty laughter.
“These iron lumps and magical gadgets have been a huge help! Before, when we were building walls in the old city, we relied entirely on our shoulders and backs. Now, with just a command, these big guys bring the stones to our mouths, and those little spiders weld the seams shut in the blink of an eye! With the energy saved, I feel like I could build another half tower!” He grinned, as if the heavy stone slabs were nothing.
Before joining the Night's Watch, he was a stonemason in a certain city.
In the past, when there weren't enough Night Watchmen, he would join the rat-catching team to avenge his city and his former friends and family.
When there is no war, he spends his time training and building various defensive facilities.
This not only improved his war skills but also honed his stonemasonry abilities.
After joining the Night's Watch, I never expected that my stonemasonry skills would be put to good use here.
Looking back, he used to dislike his profession as a stonemason.
Perhaps he should focus on this aspect in the future?
After all, they seem to have a good connection.
Don't the Night Watchmen often talk about things like fate?
Not far away, the young female night watchwoman Lila was intently guiding a beam of magical light with her fingertips to cut through the runestone slab, emitting a soft hum.
Without looking up, she replied, "Efficiency has increased more than a hundredfold, Toby. But don't underestimate these constructs. Without them handling the intricate rune arrays and energy conduits, relying solely on brute force... and that little spark..."
A tiny cluster of magical flame flickered from her fingertip as she gestured, "We can't build such a spectacle." The beam of light went out, and the stone slab was perfectly cut.
Barn calmly directed the puppet to precisely lower the massive stone slab, producing a dull thud and kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Alchemy is the extension of our limbs, and our power is the foundation. However..."
He raised his head, his gaze passing over the bustling construction site and focusing on the magnificent building that rose from the ground in the heart of the city, piercing the leaden-gray sky—that torch-shaped spectacle that stood a hundred meters tall.
Its base is sturdy and broad, tapering smoothly upwards, yet it expands gracefully near the top, forming a spectacular, seemingly eternally burning crown. The star gold, mithril, and energy crystals that make it up shimmer with a mysterious and resolute glow in the dim light.
"...No matter how good the tools or how much physical strength you have, it's all for this."
Barn's voice was filled with awe and doubt. "What do you think is hidden inside this 'Torch of Light'? Such a grand display can't just be for lighting a giant bonfire that never goes out, can it?"
Toby also turned his gaze to the awe-inspiring torch, especially the striking black and white figure at the top.
"Who knows?"
He scratched his head, lowered his voice, and said with awe, "Maybe it's some kind of... signal tower? Using light to tell people outside that we're here? Or... a huge energy source? Providing power to the whole city, or even to those two?" He gestured towards the top of the torch.
Lila finally stopped what she was doing, and looked up to gaze at the figure perched atop the widest crown of the torch.
Her eyes gleamed with pure admiration: “Whatever it does in particular… it’s first and foremost a symbol, isn’t it? Like the one perched on top… my God.”
She let out a soft sigh. "Every time I see her, I feel... incredible. Those black and white scales, the flowing luster... it's as if she has draped herself in the mysteries of the entire starry night. The word 'beautiful' seems a bit too light when applied to such a powerful being."
The black and white dragon, like a solidified yin-yang ink painting, had its long and powerful body lazily coiled up, its huge black wings half-folded, covering the arc of the torch, its long neck gracefully curved, and its dragon head resting on its front paws.
Her mere presence, her posture that blends life and death, majesty and tranquility, is enough to become the totem of the entire city's soul.
Once a necromantic dragon, now a black and white dragon, her appearance has been elevated to a higher level due to the concentration of power and understanding.
The beauty she once possessed as a celestial dragon has returned to her body, even surpassing its former glory.
Its aura and elegance are so palpable that even non-dragon creatures can sense it.
Barn nodded in deep agreement, his gaze still fixed on the breathtaking dragon.
"Indeed, the embodiment of life and death... Just imagining her spreading her wings and soaring through the Whispering Forest is exhilarating. And when the other soars through the sky, the power and grace... make one understand what it means to be the 'Lord of the Sky'."
His tone was full of pride: "Just the thought that we were able to build all of this under the guidance of such a being is an honor in itself."
They were all new recruits to the Night's Watch, and each had their own professions.
The two legendary dragons guided them in building the city, which filled them with immense pride.
This was something they never dared to imagine, but now it was guiding them and was exceptionally kind to them.
They are even members of the same group.
They were all members of the Night's Watch.
Toby grinned and easily lifted another heavy stone slab: "Let's put aside the glory for now. All I know is that with those two watching over us and these useful tools, we have a lot of good stuff."
He kicked a nearby alchemical spider that was standing still, making a soft metallic sound. "And there's our inexhaustible strength, this city... and this big guy."
He gestured with his chin toward the torch, "It'll be truly 'lit' soon! Get to work, get to work, the next train is coming soon, and there's plenty of room for people to stay!"
Trains? Those were creations I'd never even imagined.
It is said that the ideas were provided by the leader, and to be honest, many things here are indeed ideas provided by the leader.
Many of them were even designed by the leaders themselves, though they themselves didn't know whether that was true or not; you could just see those people chatting on the channel from time to time.
For these Night's Watch recruits, the most appealing thing is undoubtedly the [channel]. They chat with all the other Night's Watch members, without even knowing who they're talking to—perhaps a legendary, powerful figure.
It could even be the leader himself.
However, there are just too many people on the world channel; someone is speaking all the time.
It's a regional channel, more suitable for casual chatting.
As if to confirm his words, a long, penetrating whistle blared from afar along the massive, cold base of the Tower of Trials.
The gleaming metal tracks coiled around the tower like giant serpents, and rows of alchemical trains, driven by huge gears and with locomotives inlaid with molten lava cores, spewed thick smoke mixed with steam and arcane energy as they roared along the tracks.
Their heavy carriages were filled with people who were weary from their journey, their faces a mixture of exhaustion and a renewed sense of hope.
Another batch of new Night's Watch recruits.
These steel behemoths transported them continuously from the dark distance to the foot of this city of hope, which was rising with a roar thanks to the power of the Night's Watch, the miracles of alchemy, and the wisdom of dragons.
Kana floated in the air, watching quietly.
His appearance went unnoticed by the two dragons.
Until he fully revealed himself.
The Sky Dragon and the Undead Dragon both looked up at him.
Perhaps we should no longer call her the Undead Dragon, but rather the Soul or the Dragon of Life and Death.
Under the watchful eyes of countless new Night Watchers.
The two giant dragons spread their wings and flew into the sky.
They hovered around Kana.
"I thought you were too busy to even come here for a glance?" Liswal said with a smile.
Kana looked at Liswal and scrutinized her closely.
It must be said that it truly deserves to be described as beautiful, especially the interplay of black and white on her body.
It adds a touch of beauty and a mysterious aura to her already streamlined and elegant body.
As Kana scrutinized her, Liswal slightly raised her neck, which was covered with black and white scales, displaying her dragon body.
"How do I look? Would you call me beautiful now?"
Kana nodded.
"To be honest, she is indeed very elegant and beautiful, and has a great temperament."
Liswal nodded, clearly pleased with Kana's praise.
However, when facing Kana, she still prefers to use a human mindset, especially now that her power has increased.
With a sway, her body shrank and transformed into an elf, a graceful noblewoman with a languid air.
Her clothes transformed into a black and white gauze garment resembling scales, which fluttered and gently enveloped her body in the breeze.
Anriville, standing nearby, couldn't help but roll her eyes at her best friend.
She doesn't particularly like using her human form; she's not as vain as Liswal, but she still likes her beautiful body and is very satisfied with it.
However, it still transformed into a human.
They are both elves, but they are much more standard than Liswald.
She possessed the delicate elegance unique to elves, dressed in a light blue court dress that was intricately beautiful, exuding an elegant and noble air, yet carrying a hint of aloofness.
Under Kana's gaze, Liswal leaned closer and sniffed him.
"You just came back from the abyss?"
"Hmm, what else?"
Isn't this obvious nonsense? The other side already knows that Kana went into the abyss.
Seeing that the other person wanted to get even closer, Kana said directly, "Alright, let's get down to business. How's the construction of the Torch of Returning Souls going?"
"It's all done, just the final step. We'll see when you're ready to hold the ceremony."
Kana nodded; after all, he had been observing the area for a while.
"Then send the message to Popper and the others, and tell them to start preparing for the ceremony as soon as possible. After all, this is a big deal, and it has been dragging on for so long."
This concerns the Night's Watch's resurrection mechanism, so it cannot be taken lightly.
After explaining some important points, Kana disappeared from the spot.
"What's the rush? Don't I have charm?"
Anrivil looked at Liswal.
"What are you doing?"
"Can't you tell? I want to lay eggs with Kana."
Anriville remained silent.
Liswald may not have been the most beautiful of the astral dragons, but she was certainly a strong contender.
And it is definitely the most popular of all the male dragons.
After all, the offspring of the life dragons are guaranteed to be among the most talented of the astral dragons.
Therefore, she was proud, even arrogant.
Pride and arrogance led her to focus on improving her strength at that time.
Although they did not become gods, they must be among the strongest of their peers.
It's a pity that the Creation Stone was used.
They were left behind along with them.
Then he was betrayed by the Fallen Blade Dragon, making him arguably the most tragic one.
Because he was indeed dead, but due to the life dragon's desire to live, it transformed into a death dragon, becoming the exact opposite of itself.
Pride and arrogance were shattered.
He became depressed, insecure, and hid away.
She searched for a thousand years, but the other party always avoided her.
But she could understand.
If she ended up in the same situation as the other person, and then encountered Kana again.
Although it was clear from the beginning that Kana needed her and helped her because of her special powers, rationality is one thing, and emotion is another.
"Then good luck, but if you don't become a god, your chances are slim."
Actually, she wanted to say that the hope of becoming a god was slim.
She could tell that Kana already had a partner.
She is also a partner who has mastered the power of desire and can satisfy Kana's desires.
Cana, who has accomplished so much in just over a decade, is clearly a workaholic.
Unless they actually succeed in eliminating the danger of the apocalypse.
Otherwise, Cana might not even have the time to pay attention to these things. (End of Chapter)
