Hail the King Chapter 746: 81 Functions

Fei had been studying with Akara and Cain, and he grasped some of the concepts and knowledge about the godly runes. Therefore, he was able to comprehend some of the information that he memorized. Also, he had a unique connection to the Sky Castle by blood, so he suddenly understood something after Akara and Cain left

He slowly walked to the small pond in front of the throne in the [Godly King Palace].

Right now, only one golden lotus bud was mature, and its petals were open. However, even though the other eight buds were still not matured yet, they were very close to their blossom stage.

This golden lotus had been here forever. When Fei first came into the [Godly King Palace], the golden lotus only had vines and leaves around it. Later, one of the lotus buds blossomed with other green vines and buds scattered around it. Now, almost all nine golden lotus buds were about to be fully blooming. A series of change was taking place.

In the beginning, Fei thought that this plant was an ordinary decorative piece, and he didn’t pay much attention to it.

While Fei was trying his best to memorize all the runewords for the two mad scientists, he comprehended a lot of information during the process and got hints from the godly runewords. Now, he finally understood that golden lotuses plants were for controlling all the mechanisms in the Sky Castle including but not limited to defense, offense, array formation, and illusion creation.

It was unexpected!

Fei always felt like the Sky Castle didn’t reveal its full beauty and power.

In the legends, the Sky Castle was a huge mystical city that even the gods wanted to control. Also, it was heard that the current Continental Martial Saint, Maradona, was only a little Moon-Class Elite when he entered the Sky Castle by chance. After that experience, he shined like a brilliant star, becoming the most powerful being on this continent.

However, when Fei got his hands on this giant city which was legendary and was rumored to have all kinds of power, it became a city that could only fly and achieve essential stealth. Its current form deviated from the legends too much.

Now, Fei realized that he didn’t understand the real way of controlling this city.

He closed his eyes and tried to organize everything that he had learned so far. Then, he switched to Druid Mode, and a dense wave of nature elements appeared on Fei.

It seemed like this blooming golden lotus sensed this energy, and it started to sway gently as if it were dancing and cheering.

Fei got close to the golden lotus and reached out his finger. A stream of thick, green natural elements rushed into one of the lotus buds that were about to blossom.

Like a sleeping beauty who was waking up and opening her beautiful eyes, that lotus bud started to bloom slowly and reveal its glory.

The smooth and white petals that had golden lights around them slowly opened as if the process of blooming was sped up by more than 100 times. Soon, this golden lotus plant that had nine levels with a bud on each level was fully blooming, and each of the buds turned into a lotus with nine petals. Between the petals, the nine snow-white, crystal-like stamens looked like the creations of the gods.

As if this plant had a life of its own, it was lightly swaying in front of Fei, and it seemed like it was trying to play with Fei.

At the same time, Fei sensed a layer of invisible energy sphere suddenly appearing. With the [Godly King Palace] which was located on the peak of the central mountain as the center, it expanded outward and instantly enveloped the Sky Castle. Different from the other energy sphere which only helped this city achieve stealth, this energy sphere was extremely firm; even Fei might not be able to break it open.

This was all because this lotus plant was in control of the defense of the Sky Castle.

This golden lotus that just blossomed was in charge of [Block].

All nine lotus flowers on this lotus plant was in control of one unique ability. Except for the one that had the function of [Block], the other eight functions were [Stealth], [Rebound], [Alert], [Internal], [Inspection], [Analysis], [Isolation], and [Illusion].

This unique way of controlling the city seemed to have borrowed key concepts from the ancient elves, and it was clear that the person who created this city knew the secret techniques of the elves.

In a sense, this city showed how powerful and influential this person was since he created a flying city that had unlimited potential.

If one wanted to control this city, they must have the unique abilities of the elves such as communicating with plants. That way, they would be able to control this lotus plant and use the nine lotus flowers to alter and protect the Sky Castle accordingly.

However, Fei was a unique person, and he had access to all seven classes in Diablo World. Even though the druid character wasn’t an elf, he loved nature and had control over natural elements. Therefore, Fei was also able to talk to the golden lotus plant.

This was probably something that the creator of this city didn’t even anticipate.

According to the information that Fei obtained from the godly runewords, once the Sky Castle got enough energy, eight more lotus plants would grow out of this pond.

Just like this golden lotus plant, the other eight lotus plants would be crucial to the function of this city.

They would be in charge of attack, move, rescue, circulation, absorb, time, information, and belief. Also, each of the lotus plants would have nine lotus flowers on them, and each of the lotus flowers would handle one aspect of the broader control.

Overall, nine golden lotus plants controlled this city by offering the owner 81 powerful and useful abilities.

When all these abilities were activated, the Sky Castle would live up to its fame.

Once the Sky Castle was recharged, each of the 81 abilities would be able to rival with the gods, and it would be almost impossible to break into the city.

Under the empowerment of these 81 abilities, this city would return to its former glory and become the legendary city that would never wither.

With complete control of this great city, Fei would have a god-tier fortress that would be invincible in battle and impossible for his enemies to break.

With this city in hand, Fei could dominate the Continent and become an overlord.

However, the amount of energy required to activate all these 81 abilities was beyond Fei’s imagination.

Currently, the Sky Castle had already absorbed half of the energy inside the Normal Mode [Worldstone] and one-tenth of the energy inside the Nightmare Mode [Worldstone], and only the golden lotus plant that was in charge of defense blossomed, offering Fei nine defensive abilities.

From the look of it, the entire Nightmare Mode [Worldstone] wouldn’t be able to power this city!

Therefore, Fei had to take it slow.

Even though Fei wasn’t able to activate this city entirely, it was already great for Chambord.

If Chambord faced enemies who could easily crush the kingdom one day, all of its citizens could move into the Sky Castle. With all nine defensive abilities active, even gods wouldn’t be able to break through the defensive energy spheres.

Right now, the Sky Castle was enough to protect all citizens of Chambord, solving a big worry for Fei.

In the next while, Fei used all his time and altered the defensive abilities of the Sky Castle before leaving the [Godly King Palace].

The sky was already darkening, but Angela and Elena hadn’t returned from the vast back mountains and forests behind Chambord.

Fei thought about something and left Five Sword Sky Mountain, heading toward Chambord City.

Before the upcoming journey, there were things that he had to take care of.

[TL Note: The lotus plants in this chapter are a bit strange, and I had a hard time conceptualizing it. Just think that there are nine lotus flowers on one plant, and there will be in total nine of them]
