What's wrong with me, a mage, loving to farm?

Chapter 335 The Surprise of the Air Coral, the Space Within the Rainbow Grass

After leaving the Deep Blue Illusion, two deep blue spheres, a light gray sphere, and a box containing the Clock Golem upgrade module were ejected from the nozzle.

"Is this a miniature dimension?"

"It's amazing that an entire country can be contained in just one sphere."

Although Kroya should be able to do it after thoroughly studying the Ark's inherited knowledge, seeing it so directly is still slightly surprising.

However, once this thing is freed from the constraints of the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce, it will immediately become unstable and will require a restraint device to control the spatial structure.

Kroya didn't open the box to see what was inside the rainbow grass. Instead, he quickly opened a portal back to his mage tower and entered a platinum-colored room.

Here, there is shallow seawater, clear water beneath which lies pure white sand, and the walls are painted with the spatial magic patterns of the Ark using the refined essence of the Void Radiance.

A coral grows quietly amidst the magic surrounding it.

It wasn't very tall, only about half a person's height, but every part of it shimmered with different magical lusters: platinum-gold radiance, azure seawater, crimson flames...

And most noticeably in the roots of the aerocoral, there is some deep, dark, but not malevolent, power of time.

【Air Coral (Vast Ocean Bubbles, Spatial Folding, Time-Traveling Pollution)】

This demonic plant has absorbed and imprinted different powers, and is striving to integrate them, making them its own instinct.

Within the bubble created by this magical plant, space will be folded, and time within will be fast-forwarded or slowed down depending on the amount of Time Power.

This magical plant, carrying a "wish" and blessed by a phantom treasure, is ascending to godhood.

Kroya let out a soft breath.

My own sunflowers haven't even fully ascended to godhood yet, but this coral, which has been almost neglected and has grown wildly, is about to ascend to godhood.

Moreover, it is a deity related to the Phantom Treasure.

To be honest, I was slightly surprised.

After all, given his relationship with the merfolk, he hadn't really sought anything related to the ocean, simply treating it as his own backyard.

As a result, the Phantom Treasure actually offered to help the Coral ascend to godhood—so whose authority would it encroach upon after becoming a god, the God of the Ocean?

He was pondering, but Coral seemed to sense something. A tiny elf emerged from within and bowed respectfully: "Father."

"I will leave this world someday."

Kroya gently stroked the air coral elf: "If you want to seek a divine position, you will likely be highly bound to this place and unable to travel freely among the stars with me."

"Even the promises made to you by the most precious treasures cannot compare to the vastness of the astral plane... Weren't you complaining about the lack of air in the very beginning?"

There is no air in the sea of ​​stars.

He genuinely didn't want such a promising magical plant to be confined to such a "small" world. Also, he was indeed a bit petty, feeling that the Phantom Treasure was stealing his child.

It's just a religious post; he doesn't want to scheme. Otherwise, he would have already arranged ocean affairs for the coral like Sunflower.

The coral sprite nuzzled Kroa's palm with its head, its tone sly: "Are you... worried that I've been bribed by that sea god?"

Kroya said helplessly, "Yes."

His reply came from the silvery bubbles rising from the coral elf, gently floating around Kroya: "This is the reward that Lord Huan gave me after I helped him purify the sea."

I simply love these beautiful bubbles, like sea foam, echoing and reflecting magnificent light…

It reached out and gently pushed one of the largest silver bubbles: "This is one of my favorite bubbles, so I'm giving it to you!"

"..."

Looking at the silvery-white hue, which resembled a bubble appearing in a dream, Chloe felt a rare bit embarrassed.

The Qi Coral truly surprises him every moment; it even managed to separate and preserve the power of the Illusionary Treasure without being detected by the magic array here.

"I told you, I didn't mean to hide it from you, it's just that everything here is useless," it said smugly.

"Alright, alright." What else could Chloe do? Her own child had made something of himself; was she really going to get angry and upset?

Or rather, he finds it quite wonderful to have such surprises every now and then.

"This is your favorite bubble, so you can keep it here. I'll come to see it often, so please keep it safe."

Kroya pushed the bubble back and smiled slightly, "Then you, who are not useless, have to do something for me."

He took out the two dimensional spheres: "I want to relocate some factories to these two dimensions. Someone as capable as you can surely do it, right?"

—For little guys like this, you have to use reverse psychology.

Qi Shanhu immediately replied, "Of course!"

It puffed out its cheeks and quickly blew out two bubbles about the size of the dimensional sphere, which enveloped them. Then, the seal belonging to the Holy Spring Merchant Guild on the surface of the dimensional sphere gradually disappeared.

The bubbles replaced the seal, steadily lifting them up, and then flew to the branches of the air coral's main body, where they floated gently.

This process was clearly not easy; the little face of the Air Coral sprite turned red, and the branches of the Air Coral itself trembled slightly—after all, these were two miniature planes equivalent to the size of the Kingdom of Norland.

It hasn't ascended to godhood yet. If it didn't possess sufficient resilience and withstand the immense pressure of countless seawater at every moment, it certainly wouldn't be able to maintain its stability by relying on its own strength.

But that's just how magical plants are.

In order to plunder more resources, to obtain more nutrients, and to become stronger... the struggle and strangulation among plants is far more bloody than imagined.

Seeing its struggle and resilience, Kroya felt a slight pang in his heart and said softly, "Let me feel your pain."

He chose to imprint a spell on the air coral called "Natural Insight," which is similar to "Natural Vision." This spell also originated from the research findings of the druids.

The former is about sharing perspectives, while the latter is about sharing the feelings they experience—this is much more taboo. After all, it's not surprising if magical beasts or magical plants lose an arm, a leg, or their head, but if humans did the same, it would definitely leave a lasting impression.

Once he finished engraving, the immense spatial pressure that Qi Coral was currently experiencing was immediately shared with Kroa—it was indeed an extremely exaggerated and enormous pressure.

If I had to put it another way, it's like trying to lift a golem with your bare hands. Even though you're trying to channel the pressure into other parts of your body, you still can't avoid the pain caused by the weight.

—If Kroya intends to use a magic circle to fix it himself, he must experience it personally, because only in this way can the plane be fixed most stably.

However, having air coral made things much easier, and he could also learn the unique way air corals channel and release pressure. As air corals have to endure the heavy pressure of seawater, the collision of fish schools, and even the possibility of underwater storms every day, they are truly exceptional in this regard.

The magic of every cell and every part of it resonates, and then it gradually adapts to the pressure, accepting this behemoth as its own whole.

The bubble eventually settled firmly onto its branch.

The Coral Sprite became even more smug: "See, it's not difficult at all, it's a piece of cake."

"..." After a brief hesitation, Kroya decisively praised, "You did a really great job. None of my other magical plants can do this; only you can!"

It became even more proud, and if it had a tail, it would definitely be wagging its tail right now.

Then it couldn't help but complain: "Father, you are too good to those sunflowers and gopher trees, letting them enjoy the warm rain in the sun."

Why don't you give them to me, and I'll take them to experience the deep sea?

As it spoke, there was a hint of jealousy and a well-hidden grievance in its tone—its ability to communicate was indeed powerful enough to translate such complex emotions.

Kroya understood: "I certainly didn't take good enough care of you in the ocean, but you still grew to this extent without being bathed in my radiance."

He paused, then said gently, "You are the best."

He realized that the air coral, which grew up under the erosion of the ocean waves, although it carried the most people and seemed very stable, actually had a very competitive personality.

Hmm...it's quite novel.

Perhaps he should try to remove the magical plants from his light more often, creating different situations.

Thinking this, he asked Qi Shanhu, "You control all these spaces. Can you manage them well? Do you need me to have the tower spirit install some auxiliary units for you?"

"Of course, no problem!" The Coral Fairy nodded confidently. "You can rest assured that although I currently manage the underwater base and control the constellations in the sky, there won't be any problems."

"You're really reliable." Kroya didn't hold back her praise. "Then I'll entrust these things to you with peace of mind. You need to adapt well; there will be even tougher challenges ahead."

"The sea of ​​stars is also a sea."

The Coral Sprite's eyes lit up; clearly, the prospect of creating even larger and more powerful bubbles in the Star Sea was very tempting for it.

Seeing that it had been persuaded, Kroya didn't say anything more. Coral was now progressing very smoothly and could even trick the Mythical Treasure into playing with it.

For such a little guy, all you need to do is give him a solid backing and let him do his own thing—he dares to tease the Phantom Treasure like this because he has Kroya behind him, right?

After putting that matter aside, Kroya took out the rainbow grass, extended her magic into it, and muttered to herself:

"Let me see what's inside."

As his magic flowed in, the rainbow light gradually replaced the surrounding spatial structure. This was a superior suppression of the spatial system, equivalent to a god bringing his divine kingdom to the world.

He sensed that the space formed by the rainbow grass was very different from his own. The light here was much brighter, the music echoing in the air was particularly melodious, and there were even twinkling stars.

"Um?"

Kroya looked up in surprise, only to see that the sky, which should have been bright and clear, was flashing with lightning, which even suppressed the iridescent grass.

"Boom!"

Seemingly sensing his presence, the thunder suddenly became violent, with bolts of lightning crashing down from the sky like raging javelins, charging straight towards Kroa.

They were incredibly fast. The moment the thunder roared, the lightning was already close to Kroya. If Kroya hadn't been on guard, she probably would have been struck by lightning and her hair would have stood on end.

"What are you doing?"

Kroya could only retaliate against this divine thunder. With a wave of his hand, he summoned a torrent of elemental magic, which, guided by a symphony, clashed head-on with the thunder.

The light of thunder and the fury of the elements collided, bursting forth with dazzling colors.

After about ten minutes, the thunder suddenly stopped, and a gentle, elegant sound swirled across the iridescent grass:

"It's certain the old man is angry; after all, I stole His sacred wood."

"Athena told me you could protect them... friends from a distant time and space. I'm entrusting them to you now; it's up to you how to handle them."

"Oh, please give her my regards."

"May my blessings allow her to wait until the moment we meet again."

The sound gradually faded away in the wind, and it seemed as if a tall, slender figure was walking away in the rainbow-colored light. This space, which had lasted for an unknown period of time, collapsed in an instant.

Rainbow Grass... It was originally born from the creator's poems, and it would wither quickly if it were separated from the creator. It persisted for far too long in order to successfully deliver that thing to Kroya.

Now it can finally rest in peace.

It couldn't wait to leave with its creator, even though it could no longer find him.

After the rainbow-colored meadow collapsed, a small oak tree with lightning crackling around its branches silently appeared before Kroa.

"Zeus's sacred oak," Chloe murmured to herself.

It wasn't very tall, but after it appeared, it arrogantly scattered its lightning everywhere, as if it wanted to turn the surrounding area into a world of thunder—which immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the Air Coral.

How dare you act so presumptuously in my territory?

The woman, who had been somewhat submissive when she was young, suddenly became furious, especially since her father was watching!

If we get suppressed by this guy, wouldn't that be a huge loss?

So it immediately launched a counterattack—

The air coral blew out one bubble after another, and bubbles of various attributes floated up and surrounded the oak tree.

Each bubble possesses near-legendary attack power; even a legendary being would be overwhelmed by such a barrage of attacks.

But it is not facing ordinary people... trees.

The oak tree was also angry. What are you? How dare you attack me?

In just a few minutes, this previously stable space was filled with bubbles and lightning, and the intensity of the struggle was even more exaggerated than when Kroya was fighting against the lightning.

The rumbling thunder and the popping sounds of bubbles breaking continued incessantly.

"..."

Kroya, who was initially very nervous, suddenly relaxed and even felt a sense of absurdity—are you guys really not brats? How come you started fighting without warning!
