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

Chapter 342. Opening a Branch Base in the Divine Kingdom

"Your power is so great that it can infiltrate the corrupt and luminous realm of the gods?"

Miya stared in disbelief: "The divine kingdom of a god is equivalent to an extension of his own spirit. Within the divine kingdom, the god is the supreme master—even a god with powerful divine power will be suppressed when entering the divine kingdom of a god with weak divine power."

"unless……"

He gave Kroya a deep look: "Unless one's power level has reached a great level, only then can one ignore the suppression of the divine kingdom."

Although He knew the legend of the Origin Poem, this miraculous existence was even more incredible than Him. He did not know the details, but now He could finally glimpse some of its wonder.

Kroya remained calm: "This kind of eternal nature can never be ordinary; it's perfectly normal for it to be great."

"Teacher, I want those magical plants from the Kingdom of the Father of Light."

"I really want it!"

His eyes sparkled as he stared at Miya.

Miya almost couldn't hold back her emotions. "I want it too. I told you when I first woke up that filthy and bright creations can taint my light."

His kingdom is to me a delicious meal, a sumptuous feast.

Since that's the case...

After careful consideration, the Ring of Radiance said, "If your eternal magic remains undetected, I can help you draw a magic circle leading to the divine realm."

Before He could finish speaking, the ivy on Kroya's wrist began to sway wildly: "Are you going to venture into the Kingdom of Light? You must be going to venture into the Kingdom of Light, right?!"

How could you not invite your friends to such a wonderful moment!

A group of heroes stormed into the realm of the gods, seizing the creations of the corrupted deities... Hmm, this is simply a perfect epic!

A golden epic, shining brightly under evergreen friendship! Enough to be sung to the ends of the earth!

Kroa: "..."

Has this guy gone crazy lately and messed up his brain? Where did my calm, ancient, and wise Ivy go? Why has he become so strange?

Ivy was incredibly enthusiastic about adventures involving the gods and volunteered, "The power I've accumulated over this time should be enough for you to don the armor of the gods once again."

It conjured two wet, deer-like eyes and stared at Kroya, full of anticipation and longing.

"I really want to go!"

This guy was clearly imitating what Kroya had just looked like. To be honest, it would have been fine if he hadn't seen it, but the thought of what he might have looked like made Kroya's vision go black.

Miya agreed: "I also really want to go on an adventure in the Kingdom of Light. If I can recover more divine power, I should be able to completely stabilize the passage to the Ark Garden."

"Alright."

Since that's what they've said, Kroya has no objections.

"Then I'll have to see if my friends have time to cause a ruckus in God's Kingdom."

"Wow, this is such a rare experience, I'm actually kind of looking forward to it."

I wanted to relax with my friends last time, but unfortunately I didn't have time. This time I finally had the chance, and I even got to take advantage of the Father of Light.

He also planned to bring his Sun Demon Legion along, as the energy within the divine realm was the perfect food for them—those guys had recently become so hungry that they were even gnawing on the soil in the Gluttonous Paradise.

……

after a while.

Those who accepted the invitation—Miffy, Estner, Theodore, Oak, Kmoyer, and others—came here and once again donned the armor that would make them legends.

Friends getting together is certainly something to celebrate, so Chloe prepared an exquisite feast, intending to enjoy a good meal before venturing into the adventure.

The only difference was that Daphne and Achilles were also present at this banquet.

Achilles, in particular, had recently participated in the battle against the Church of Light, where he tore off the head of a legendary Duke of Light and splattered his blood on himself.

The blood of light splattered on his strong body. The scene was witnessed by the cardinal of the Church of the God of War, who almost had an orgasm on the spot. Even the God of War himself bestowed divine favor upon him.

Then... the God of War's favored followers were crushed by Achilles.

This legendary hero didn't care about any "God of War" at all, and besides, how could the God of War in this world be compared to the powerful being he had once met named "Ares"?

After the news reached back, the cardinal of the Church of the God of War complained to Kroya, seemingly unintentionally, but Kroya politely saw him off without much concern.

He didn't think Achilles had done anything wrong, and besides, he felt that these gods were being a bit too confident in sending down their divine favor to turn people into their own followers.

Now these gods are demanding things of him, and he doesn't care at all what the other side thinks.

He had originally intended for Achilles to continue enjoying the war, but when Ivy informed him this time, he immediately abandoned the war and came straight over.

—Clearly, he was quite satisfied with Cloa's protectiveness.

Kroya glanced at him, then looked helplessly at Daphne: "Madam, are you sure you want to join in? Things are getting quite complicated."

Daphne had changed into a clean and sharp hunting outfit, carrying a silver longbow decorated with laurel branches, with an elemental quiver brimming with magic on her back, and adorned with a host of magical rings, bracers, bracelets, and necklaces on her hands and neck...

There's no need to even look at that magical aura; it's all divine artifacts.

If her full magical field were released, she would probably be sparkling right now, even more eye-catching than Chloe in her Apollo suit.

Daphne stared at Chloe, or more precisely, at the Apollo armor he was wearing, and replied, "Just a god who hasn't yet reached the level of truly powerful deities."

There was a clear hint of disdain in her tone.

Hearing her answer, Chloe didn't say anything more.

He raised the golden cup in his hand: "Let's get ready to go."

Everyone raised their glasses, cheered, and then drank them down in one gulp.

The group stepped directly onto the teleportation magic circle leading to the Kingdom of the Father of Light, officially entering this divine kingdom composed of the wishes of countless believers.

Kroya's first thought was... if he were to actually live here, he would definitely have to wear an eye mask to sleep at night—everything he could see, whether it was the earth or the buildings, was shimmering with a bright holy light.

This was fundamentally different from the scenery observed through eternal magic; what was now unfolding before him was the Kingdom of Light, composed of the wishes of countless believers.

A country that is...exceptionally bright.

"It looks awful."

"It doesn't feel as good as our newly established Mage Association."

"...Living here is truly a torment."

The group expressed their disdain for the place, as they were now not only wearing divine armor, but also using eternal magic, Mia's magic, and the magic of the iris as cover.

These layers of defense are quite powerful; it's safe to say that even if someone stood before the gods of this kingdom, they wouldn't be detected, so they remained quite calm.

"I think so too." Kroya nodded in agreement. "Let's stick to what we agreed on before. We can bring back anything we find, and if there's any danger, we can use the ring to get it back."

"I'll catch up with you after I've finished dealing with things here, and then we'll go and beat up His Holy Spirit together."

—Miya has already given them the platinum ring with the power of a supreme treasure. If they encounter danger, they can return at any time, and even the light cannot stop them.

"Alright!"

"Then we're leaving!"

The latest chapter of this novel is available on the first release page. Please go and read it there!

"Kroya, you absolutely have to come later!"

The group left chatting and laughing. Having been upgraded to legendary level and equipped with life-saving gear, they were in high spirits, completely unaware that this was actually the kingdom of a powerful god who had ruled human kingdoms for thousands of years.

Those present were all powerful individuals, all of whom had been or were currently in high spirits, and even the Kingdom of Light could not instill fear in them.

"That's great."

Kroa watched them leave, then nodded to the Sun Demon and the Mother Nest he had brought: "Let's begin."

The Sun Demon Mother and the Mother Nest immediately began digging into the shimmering soil and then devouring it greedily—to them, this "substance" imbued with divine power was the best nourishment.

Like a giant excavator, it dug a huge pit in no time and it continued to expand outwards. As it expanded, the gold and white gold shield also expanded.

The worker bees collected all the sacred plants in the surrounding area and sent them back to the mage tower on the reef island via a magic circle. Because there were so many of them, they had to be placed in the dimensional world that Kroya had purchased.

They are even more terrifying than locusts. Wherever they go, not only will not a blade of grass be cut off, but even a chunk of soil will be scraped away.

Fortunately, the Kingdom of the Father of Light is boundless; even a cedar forest is almost the size of the entire human kingdom. Countless people's faith in Him and the divine power He received from the previous generation of light are piled up here.

Furthermore, since the Light was still asleep and its remaining consciousness was already drawn to the offensive against the divine kingdom, even if Kroya brazenly opened a branch base in the divine kingdom, it would not provoke any resistance from it.

Kroya and Mia examined the plant and absorbed the divine light within it, both wearing joyful smiles.

The magical runes on these plants are very special. For example, the runes on this cedar tree are composed of faith and epic tales.

[The Faith and Legend of Light: The Cedar Tree]

[A symbol of perfection, upward progress, life, and nobility, derived from the faith formed by scriptures and legends, and created through the divine power of the Father of Light, this magical plant possesses the following abilities: -]

A life of honor: Drinking the sap of the cedar tree will make one noble and glorious, and prolong one's lifespan.

-

The temple's structure: The temple was built using cedar trees, which allowed for quick communication with the gods and served as a means for the gods to descend.

-

A Hopeful End: When the end of the world comes, the cedar tree will live on forever; at the time of its existence, the corresponding deity will not die, and hope will arrive.

[The magical plant, formed from faith and legend, serves as the basis for determining the power of a deity. However, please note that once it appears, it no longer cares who the deity is.]

"Wow."

Kroya was very surprised: "Are these cedar trees so special? They actually possess the power of hope. Could it be that the Father of Light can rely on their existence to endure?"

Miya nodded: "What you saw was correct. The cedar tree is a very special plant of the Light, and it also contains the vital authority of 'salvation' and 'hope' that is crucial to the Light."

"But now..."

Miya revealed a subtle expression: "They belong to me now."

He placed his finger on the trunk of the cedar tree, his tone becoming solemn and serious: "A plant tainted by defiled light..."

"A life bound by faith and desire."

"Now, you've crossed the door."

"The gate was narrow, the road was narrow..."

The ability to seize authority is an innate power of gods, and Mia certainly possesses this ability as well—He can transform the power of defilement into authority belonging to Him.

The cedar tree trembled slightly, and the magical patterns inside were quickly soaked in platinum light, eventually becoming a magical plant belonging to Miya. The power representing hope within it naturally also belonged to Miya.

After absorbing some authority, Miya looked somewhat dazed and sighed with distress, "If I wanted to seize all the power of hope and salvation, I would probably have to absorb all these cedar trees."

"Then absorb it," Kroya encouraged. "It's a rare opportunity... By the way, do other plants also have the power of light? Could you absorb it too?"

"Some do."

"Anyway, you're planning to empty this place out."

"Don't worry, I'm here. Even if the light wakes up, we'll have plenty of time."

He smiled mysteriously, then drew a circle in front of him with his finger, pouring a continuous stream of platinum-gold power into it—this power would be sent to Ilist's mage tower to strengthen the God-Destroying Particle Cannon.

With the support of the Ring of Radiance, the God-Destroying Particle Cannon fired projectiles infused with platinum-gold light, making its attacks on the divine realm even more lethal.

The divine kingdom's crystal wall, which had been barely able to remain stable, was showing signs of collapsing in a short period of time, causing Eurydice's eyes to twitch.

Could it be that the Kingdom of Light was destroyed just like that?

Fortunately, the Ring of Radiance and Iris's Tower Spirit cooperated to some extent, maintaining the situation at a critical but not fatal level, mobilizing almost all the supplicants of the Kingdom of Light to maintain the Kingdom's crystal wall.

They had even less chance of discovering the problems within God's Kingdom.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kroya massively transferred all sorts of plants and the divine realm itself into his own plane.

Incidentally, he also had the Sun Demon and the Mother Nest establish an army to gradually erode the divine kingdom, intending to give the Light a gift that would be unforgettable for a lifetime.

Since we've already torn each other apart, it doesn't matter if we tear it even more apart.

After arranging these things, he leisurely left the area covered by eternal magic, ready to catch up with his friends who were already having a blast and explore this divine kingdom.
