Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 565: Chapter 356 Break _1

Sandy Wexler made a gesture, summoning the power of the Quasi-Saint Seat within him. In an instant, a terrifying force spread, like the emergence of a True God.

As if sensing a threat, the stone lion in the sky roared and countless array thunders crashed down. There were thousands of Divine Thunders, very densely packed; if they were to fall into the city, hundreds of streets would be obliterated in a blink of an eye.

Originally, Sandy Wexler could avoid it. However, at least several hundred thousand people lived in those hundred streets and as the lord of the city, he couldn’t retreat. So, he gathered all his strength into forming an immense barrier, hoping to block these hundreds of Divine Thunders.

The strength of the Divine Thunder was too formidable. Even though it was indeed blocked by the barrier, it exhausted too much of Sandy Wexler’s strength. His face turned pale, and he even spat out a mouthful of blood. As a Quasi-Saint Seat holder, it had been years since he was in such a disheveled state.

And this was merely one strike from the array. The strength contained within this array could sustain such an attack for a year. How many more could he withstand?

At this point, all he could do was to mutter with a stern expression: “Logan, I hope you succeed, otherwise, all these sacrifices would be wasted.”

Without any delay, Logan and Bart Cloud moved to the edge of the city-protecting battle while Sandy Wexler was contending with the entire array. To study and analyze this array, they first needed to understand the array’s support points.

Ordinary arrays were constructed with Spirit Stones, but this City-protecting Array was different. Its power source came from ten Sanctuary Powerhouse bodies, in addition to countless Great Law pressures and Divine Skills. This had transformed the array into more than just a basic array.

After researching the array barrier for half of the day, Logan gasped: “It’s bad, there’s a mini world within the array. After covering the whole city, it isolated it from the outside. There’s no way out.”

Originally, in Logan’s plan, even if he couldn’t crack the array, he could forcibly open a gap and use the Space Formation to enable him and Bart Cloud to escape. However, he soon found this was just a joke.

Firstly, it was difficult to create a gap. Then, even if they managed to escape using the Space Formation, they would wind up in a void since the city had turned into a mini world. The only method left was to go through the mini world’s gateway to return to the original world.

“Our fate is tied to that of the city; we must crack it,” Logan said, feeling under tremendous pressure. While he was skilled in arrays, all his knowledge came from the Sanctuary Powerhouses’ Inheritance; his personal understanding was insufficient.

Cracking an array was like solving a difficult problem. It was not just about having the methods, but also needing the right way of thinking. But right now, Logan’s mind felt cloudy; all he felt was overwhelmed and devoid of inspiration.

“How can we crack it? Logan was on the brink of a meltdown. Time was running out. Although he had previously given Sandy Wexler 15 minutes, could Sandy Wexler really hold out long enough? If they ran out of time, the entire city would be destroyed.

Bart Cloud sighed deeply, frustrated that he couldn’t help: “Don’t rush. We must stay calm and composed. The array will have a weak point. Since this barrier is unbreakable, can we attempt to disband it in another way? Like burning the ten Sanctuary Powerhouse bodies or disrupting the array’s operation principles, or maybe interrupting the power source.”

“Let me think.” Logan fell into deep thought. Initially, his intention was to find the weak points of the City-protecting Array and break through them; however, the solidity of the array made this approach impossible. Going after the ten Sanctuary Powerhouse bodies was even more difficult.

After all, if they couldn’t break the array, how could they get to the hidden bodies? The Spirit Stones were the source of the common arrays. Only by crushing the Spirit Stones could an array be neutralized. The principle was the same for the ten Sanctuary Powerhouse bodies in the City-protecting Array.

If they couldn’t find a way to break through the array, their only choice was Jake Wexler. If they could destroy him, who was controlling the array, the City-protecting Array would surely shut down again, and all the problems would be solved, wouldn’t they?

But Logan bitterly laughed. Jake Wexler, who had mastered the array, saw his strength magnified millions of times. Unless a Sanctuary Powerhouse stepped up, who else could stand against him? Add to that the stone lion at his side – the Array Spirit – ever watchful and protective.

No matter how they looked at it, it was a dead-end situation. Still, Logan obviously refused to accept it. He could not be trapped by just any City-protecting Array. How could he destroy such a powerful array where all of his methods seemed useless?

Suddenly, an idea popped into Logan’s mind: “If we can’t destroy the array, why not try an alternative approach? Why not make the city disappear?”

“Is that even possible?” Bart Cloud was shocked. The city stretched for hundreds of miles. How could tens of millions of people vanish suddenly? No matter how formidable Logan’s array-setting proficiency was, there weren’t enough Spirit Stones for Logan to deploy his methods.

Logan shook his head, explaining, “That’s not what I meant. Of course, we don’t mean to move the city. Instead, we can build another array inside the City-protecting Array, which can directly separate the city from the array. The meaning of the City-protecting Array would then be lost.”

“If I am not mistaken, once the city disappears, the City-protecting Array will also shut down. We can use this brief period to find the ten Sanctuary Powerhouse bodies in the City-protecting Array and totally destroy the array.”
