"How could that be! I'm a conceptual entity..."
Intricate magical patterns lit up Hope's palm, and silvery-white light extended from his five fingers like spider silk, connecting with the magical net that enveloped the golden dragon in the sky.
Have you ever heard of "Enchanting Spells"?
"It can 'attach' various properties to objects, such as adding fire to magic, adding sharpness to weapons, and separating magic from a target... as long as you can think of it, there is room for manipulation."
"Tell me... can my idealistic magic affect you, the Dragon of Concepts?"
No answer is needed; the answer has already been revealed to everyone.
Hope looked at the struggling golden transparent dragon in the sky. He could use "physical attachment" on the golden dragon to forcibly materialize it, but that would be too pointless.
The Wood Dragon was killed by him with a single punch, and the Earth Dragon was beaten to death by his friends. Now, to deal with the Gold Dragon, he naturally had to come up with some new tricks.
Go back to your 'cat box'.
Hope raised her hand and waved.
Jin Shenlong immediately felt his ethereal conceptual body being pulled by an irresistible force, like a wisp of smoke blown away by the wind being gathered back together by an invisible force.
He struggled frantically, and the magic surged wildly as if it were free, raining down gold that turned the stone pavement, the broken walls, and even the distant houses into gold.
If the residents of Philanthropic City were still alive, they would probably be going crazy over this sudden rain of gold. But at this moment, apart from Hope and his group, there was no one else on the streets, only the buildings that had been turned to gold shimmering eerily in the sunlight.
"Do not--!"
After letting out a roar of resentment, the Golden Dragon was completely stuffed back into the golden owl it had once transformed into by Hope's "Enhancement Spell".
The golden dragon's roar shook the entire city: "Even if you attach me back to this building, as long as I remain a conceptual entity, you will never be able to truly seal me away!"
"Just wait, one day I will break the seal and return to this world, and that will be your death day!"
Hope knew that Jin Shenlong was right.
The enchantment only binds him to the structure, but his essential nature remains unchanged. He can continue to exist within the structure, waiting for an opportunity...
The concept is immortal; it has time.
However, Hope's next words shattered the last shred of hope in the Golden Dragon: "Just because you said you would seal me away before doesn't mean you have to do it now?"
He approached the golden owl, took a deep breath, and the muscles on his arms bulged as if cast in steel, with magnetic energy surging wildly within his body.
Two hundred thousand horsepower! Matter reorganization!
The buildings, stones, metals, and glass formed from the will of the Golden Dragon began to undergo tremendous changes under the crushing force of the magnetic field.
The walls collapsed, the pillars melted, the dome sank, and the entire magnificent building seemed to be being kneaded by an invisible giant hand, its volume shrinking at a suffocating rate.
Under Hope's dual transformation, the golden owl rapidly shrank, from a magnificent building spanning tens of thousands of square feet to a three-story house, then to the size of a carriage, and finally to the size of a coffin...
"What are you doing! Stop right now!"
Fear finally crept into Jin Shenlong's voice.
But Hope ignored him, pushing the magnetic field power to its limit while simultaneously using alchemy to assist.
If "material recombination" is the hammer that hammers a massive building into a two-meter-long sword blank, then "alchemy" is the fine carving knife.
Hope combined the two, simultaneously forging the entire Golden Owl in a way that Athena had never heard of.
The Golden Dragon's roar grew weaker and weaker, not because he had given up resisting, but because his conceptual body was being forcibly "forged" into this ever-shrinking physical vessel by pure power.
The magnetic field completely fixed the shape of the sword blank, the alchemical refinement removed all impurities, and the enchantment locked the golden dragon firmly within the sword body, making them completely integrated.
When the light faded, Hope held a sword in her hand.
A sword that is entirely golden.
Chapter 353 The Divine Dragon Devolves into "Divine Metal"
The golden blade shimmered with a restrained luster in the sunlight, and a dragon-eye-shaped gemstone was inlaid at the hilt.
The golden sword itself is not ostentatious, and can even be described as simple, but anyone who knows its power can feel how terrifying it is just by looking at it.
Erza has used at least eighty or a hundred swords because of her "Changing Clothes" magic, but she has never seen a sword like this before.
Athena stepped forward, her mechanical eyes filled with disbelief as she looked at Hope. "You actually forged the entire Golden Owl into a sword?"
"more than."
Hope flipped the sword, letting the blade reflect a cold light in the sunlight. "I also forged the Golden Dragon into it."
Kana leaned closer and curiously touched the golden sword, but the next second her fingers were stained with gold, which in the blink of an eye covered her entire palm and rapidly extended to her entire arm.
This was none other than the Golden Dragon's ability—'Golden Transformation'.
Before Kana's arm completely turned gold, Hope deactivated the gold-ification spreading across her body. Mirajane, seeing Kana's startled expression, couldn't help but tease her:
"Curiosity didn't kill the cat, but it almost turned a drunkard into a golden drunkard."
Kana swallowed hard, opened the wine jug and brought it to her lips, taking a sip to calm her nerves. "Hope, you're amazing! You actually turned the Golden Dragon and such a big house into a sword."
"I thought I was going to turn into a golden statue."
"The essence of the Golden Dragon's power is to transform matter into gold," Athena explained from the side. "As long as the transformation is stopped before the magic penetrates deeper, there will be no permanent damage."
"I see." Kana touched her arm, which had fully recovered, and asked subconsciously, "But what if the golden transformation isn't removed after a certain time?"
"Then it will turn into gold forever."
Athena spoke casually, but everyone could sense the danger in her words. To be honest, they had no chance of winning against the conceptual golden dragon.
This battle was entirely due to Hope's strength in defeating the Golden Dragon.
Hope weighed the sword in her hand; its weight was just right, its center of gravity perfect. With a casual swing, the blade sliced through the air without making a sound.
Among the group of magnetic field madmen, quite a few are powerful enough to wield weapons. Hope also had the idea of creating a divine weapon, but he hadn't yet encountered a suitable one.
Erza's "Seven Dragon Slayers" is good, but it was a gift from the Wise Dragon to his best friend's daughter. Although Erza certainly wouldn't mind, how could he possibly accept it?
Moreover, making your own weapon is also a good option.
While dealing with the Wood Dragon and Earth Dragon, Hope had the idea of using dragons to forge swords, but those two were not only ugly, but their abilities were also not suitable for being incorporated into weapons.
Upon witnessing the Golden Dragon's ability to "goldenen," he immediately took a liking to this "material." Through the dual refinement of magnetic field power and alchemy, an unparalleled divine weapon was born.
After forging the Golden Dragon and the Golden Owl into a sword, you can not only use "Golden Transformation" to attack your enemies in battle, but also easily conjure up a pile of gold.
When I get back, that old man Makarov will treat me like a god of wealth.
Hope held the sword horizontally in front of him, flicked the blade lightly with his index finger, producing a crisp hum, and said with satisfaction, "From now on, this sword will be called 'Divine Metal'."
What a misleading name...
Kana wanted to complain, but before she could speak, another voice came from the "Divine Gold" sword, "You despicable human! How dare you... how dare you refine this divine dragon... into such a lowly form!"
The Golden Dragon had lost its previous arrogance and swagger, leaving only a low growl suppressing its anger.
"Wow, this guy can actually talk!"
"Of course, after being forged, this sword can actually be considered an alternative form of the Golden Dragon's true form." Hope explained as he used an enhancement spell to separate the Golden Dragon's voice, rendering it unable to make a sound again.
This guy treated Athena and Athena II, who had awakened their emotions, as tools to be manipulated. Now it's his turn to experience the pain of being reduced to a tool.
Having recovered from the shock, Kana held the flask up to him. "HopeHope, quickly turn my flask into pure gold!"
"How could you say that...?"
"What's there to be embarrassed about? It's so impressive to bring out the golden wine jug."
"For something like this, you want me to use the power of 'Divine Metal'?"
"Tch, the power of the Golden Dragon is not something so inconvenient."
"Hey..."
Erza watched the two bickering, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up slightly, but she quickly composed herself and walked to Athena's side.
How is your sister?
Athena looked down at the black Athena in her arms. The face that looked exactly like hers was now full of peace, without fear or pain, only tranquility.
Athena's voice was soft, "Her alchemical circuits are repairing themselves, and the power that the Golden Dragon forcibly injected is slowly stabilizing."
In fact, Athena II was a blessing in disguise, as she not only gained the magic of the Golden Dragon, but also acquired two excellent alchemical techniques: "Smoke" and "Iron".
Erza nodded, but didn't continue the conversation. Instead, she looked at Athena and asked, "What are your plans next?"
Athena was taken aback.
She had never thought about this question. From the day she was created, her life had only two goals:
Destroying the dragons wreaking havoc in Giltina was her original purpose in being created. Another goal, however, was Athena's own desire to become a true human being.
Now she has feelings, friends, a younger sister, and experiences joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness... The only difference between her and humans is that she has an insignificant body. As long as she has a heart that can feel emotions, she is human.
As for destroying the dragon in Giltina?
The only dragon still capable of causing trouble on this continent is the last remaining member of the ambitious divine dragons—the Flame Dragon.
The Water Dragon and the Moon Dragon personally led a team to deal with him.
Moreover, according to Kana, there is a super big shot backing him up. Even if the Flame Dragon goes into its ultimate form and defeats the two dragons that are trying to subdue him, it will still be hard to escape the clutches of that big shot in the end.
Both wishes were fulfilled in another way, but Athena was somewhat confused. She had never thought about what her future held.
Or rather, she never imagined that those two goals would ever be achieved, let alone now that she has a younger sister.
Chapter 354 On the Correct Approach to Undermining Others
"What is the outside world like?"
Hearing Athena's sudden question, Mirajane couldn't help but laugh. "The outside world... there are taverns, battlefields, all sorts of people, and..."
She paused, her gaze involuntarily drifting towards Hope, "And there are also those scoundrels who play pranks on people and bully girls all the time."
"Hey, hey, hey." Hope rolled her eyes. "Don't spread rumors. When have I ever bullied a girl?"
"Erza, you speak!"
Mirajane pulled Erza close. "Honestly, has he ever bullied you?"
Erza's face flushed red. She stammered for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out, "He wouldn't dare."
