I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Is this the core of the entire Azela Floating City?

Joey thought about the past agreement with Lis' father, feeling a bit nostalgic.

On the other side, Azela is communicating with Lis.

"Yes."

Azela didn't beat around the bush, but directly admitted it.

"According to the [Final Terms of Azela Floating City] Article 1 and 2, Lis Kain, you now have the qualification to become the controller of Azela Floating City."

"I will transfer the highest control authority of Azela Floating City to you, and everything in the floating city will open up to you!"

"Alright!"

Lis clenched his right fist, feeling a bit excited.

This is the only floating city present from the past era, which in the later stage of the Abyss Blood Battle, along with two floating cities of the Pan-Continent Mage Association, unleashed endless magical firepower that shattered countless Abyss Demons.

Even facing the siege of dozens of demon legends, no floating city was shot down.

Although there was protection from the legendary strongmen of various races in the Gaia World, it was enough to show the power of Azela Floating City.

And now, Lis is about to become the controller of Azela Floating City!

This is the dream of the vast majority of legendary mages!

Just as Lis was overwhelmed with emotion, Azela's voice sounded again:

"After transferring the authority of the floating city to you, I will disappear."

"You can let that black cat take my place to manage this floating city for you, so you don't have to spend time nurturing magic intelligent life from scratch."

"The black cat won't have any problem maintaining the operation of this floating city; most of the information about the floating city is stored in the memory module of the control room, it can query at any time, I think it will help you quickly familiarize yourself and control the entire floating city."

Azela's voice didn't have any fluctuations, as if talking about news completely unrelated to it.

Lis remained silent and then said:

"Can't you stay?"

"No."

Azela spoke softly:

"I myself can't sustain for much longer, after transferring the authority of the floating city, I wouldn't even have the basic ability to maintain a state."

"Of course, the most important thing is... I am also tired."

Azela's voice finally revealed a trace of genuine emotion, mixed with an uncontainable feeling.

"As magic intelligent life, I feel I've reached the end here."

"I hope you all... can let Azela Floating City shine with past glory again."

"Mm."

Sensing Azela's thoughts, Lis didn't continue to say more.

"Lis, is there anything else you want to ask me?"

Azela seemed to feel a bit relieved as it asked Lis:

"You now have temporary legendary-level authority, I'll answer anything you want to know."

Lis hesitated, indeed caring about some things.

"Azela, you mentioned that all the people in the floating city have disappeared, what exactly happened in the floating city at that time?"

"Why did Azela Floating City fall, is it related to the disappearance of the Nasery Magic Empire?"

Lis seized the opportunity to ask Azela.

As the magic intelligent life controlling Azela Floating City, Azela naturally knows many things.

It said just now that the information in the floating city is registered in the memory module, so the external information should be remembered only by Azela.

"Many things happened at that time..."

Azela suddenly paused for a moment, seemingly in thought, then said to Lis:

"Do you know the Magic Net Goddess Mistra?"

"Yes."

Lis nodded, responding.

Although this goddess has already disappeared for quite a long age, her name has still been passed down, even more famous than many existing deities.

Her aliases include Lady of Mysteries, Mother of Magic, a powerful divine power deity of neutral good.

Mistra's fame lies in the fact that she created the magic network (Magic Net) covering the entire Gaia World, of course, there is also a saying that Mistra is the avatar of the manifestation of the magic network.

Before the appearance of the Magic Net, spellcasters' presence was extremely rare in Gaia World, because at that time the power of magic runes was not known to people, wanting to cast spells was a difficult and dangerous matter.

After the appearance of the Magic Net, people were able to use magic power to cast spells through the Magic Net safely and easily, and through the Magic Net, they constantly learned the mysteries of magic, deeply exploring and mastering the power of magic.

While the Magic Net existed, the difficulty of becoming a spellcaster greatly decreased.

As long as you become a mage or another spellcaster, you can leave your mark in the Magic Net and have different numbers of spell slots according to your power.

Spellcasting, simply put, is the mage constructing a magic model capable of accommodating magic power through their own ability, then consuming magic power in the circumstances of various magic materials to release magic.

But this requires extraordinary wisdom, so the difficulty of becoming a mage is very high for many people.

It's different through the Magic Net, however.

Because the Magic Net contains almost all magic's magic models, spellcasters only need to connect to the Magic Net regularly every day, memorize spells of corresponding levels in spell slots through the Magic Net (this is also the origin of mages preparing spells daily at that time), to directly construct magic models.

The spell in each spell slot equals the spell prepared state, when using it, they only need to recite spells and inject magic power to directly release them.

It could be said this is standard foolproof teaching, allowing spellcasters to save a lot of energy and time, not requiring too high requirements to use magic.

Of course, the flaw through the Magic Net and spell slots is also very obvious, that is, they can't touch the essence of magic.

Then this memory of the magic model is merely surface memory, and will disappear with the spell upon release, making it impossible for spellcasters to master.

While the Magic Net still existed, it was also a restriction for those with great talents, but becoming a Great Arcanist able to research magic, obtaining higher spellcasting authority in the Magic Net, was another way of enhancing power.

After the disappearance of the magic goddess, the Magic Net vanished along, only leaving a small portion of residual Magic Net still operating, such as the Shadow Demon Net recording Shadow Magic and the bloodline magic Magic Net of the magicians.

Records from this period are scarce, fortunately, mages accumulated enough magic knowledge through the Magic Net, gradually freeing themselves from reliance on the Magic Net under the lead of Great Arcanists, mastering the independent spellcasting ability which kept passing down.

Wait a minute!

When the Magic Net Goddess Mistra disappeared, it seems to be at the same time as the Nasery Magic Empire's disappearance, could there be some connection between them?

Azela didn't leave Lis hanging, but directly said:

"The fall of the floating city, and the disappearance of the Nasery Empire, have a great connection with the Magic Net Goddess Mistra."

"I didn't experience the specific events, but from the messages sent by Nasery Floating City and Karsas Floating City, it should be that the Magic Net Goddess Mistra had a problem."

"At that time, the controller of Azela Floating City, Great Arcanist Kai Ao Holmes left the floating city after receiving the message."

"On the third day after he left, the Magic Net Great Collapse event occurred."

Magic Net Great Collapse?

Lis frowned slightly, the name doesn't seem quite right?

"What is the Magic Net Great Collapse?"

Lis asked Azela.

"Magic Net collapse occurred twice in the historical record of the Nasery Empire, where the Magic Net suddenly went out of control, all spellcasters were unable to cast spells through the Magic Net."

"But in those two cases, the Magic Net quickly recovered to normal, as for the cause of collapse is the empire's top secret, Azela Floating City doesn't have the qualification to view."

"And the Magic Net Great Collapse, is the complete disappearance and dissipation of the Magic Net."

"Unlike the previous two, the Great Collapse even caused the spell slots memorized in the minds of mages to directly disperse, causing most mages to have their brains blasted by collapse magic power, dying instantly."
