Chapter 542: The Nine-Layer Star Dome Enchantment
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“What’s going on?”
Fawkes looked blankly up at the glistening dome that had risen above his head. The dome was made of high-quality materials. It appeared to be incredibly hard, but it did not affect the sunlight. Magic runes that flowed unexpectedly appeared and disappeared on the dome’s translucent substance.
He had expected Watson’s strengthening of the fortress city to make the city’s defenses stronger than before, but he had not expected the city to shift so dramatically. The fortress city was suddenly brimming with magnificent palaces. Dense energy particles congregated to produce a bright energy tide. On the ground, there were a few specks of cloud.
The city on the ground appeared to be a floating divine kingdom, but what surprised him the most was that Watson had accomplished that feat with merely a wave of his hand. He felt as if he were dreaming.
[Congratulations, Master, for successfully fusing the fortress city with the nearby surface. You have obtained a starlight-tier planetary fortress.]
[Starlight-tier Building: Planetary Fortress]
[Abilities: Star Dome Enchantment (the fortress contains the energy of an entire planet. It can absorb the light of the stars and release a protective shield to resist attacks at the starlight-tier), Casting Star Cannons (the offensive weapon of the planetary fortress can shoot out destructive light beams containing the power of the stars).]
[Additional abilities: Star Rotation (the planetary fortress rotates all the time and can reverse the gravity around the fortress), Star Revolution (the planetary fortress revolves around the capital of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, leaving behind a layer of star dome enchantment wherever it passes. Once the enchantment is destroyed, it will absorb starlight to recover.)]
After Watson performed the fusion system, the sound of a system notification rang in his ears.
“Lord Fawkes, I am going to put the newly upgraded planetary fortress to the test. Could you please explain it to the residents?”
Watson turned into a streak of light and flew into the air, leaving Fawkes looking as if he was about to cry. He stood there stomping his feet, mumbling, “What is going on?”
Watson requested that he explain the situation. He had no idea how he was going to do that.
“Watson converted the fortress city into that with a flick of his finger,” he told the residents. “The fortress city is now known as the planetary fortress. Could everyone agree on that?” However, he still did not grasp the power that Watson’s so-called planetary fortress possessed.
Ignoring Fawkes’s reaction, Watson was already standing high in the sky. The planetary fortress was a huge star structure that was emitting starlight. It also had a layer of starlight barrier. It reached up to the sky and had no end. It was rooted to the ground below. The barrier was surrounded by a high-density cyclone that only existed in outer space. Flashes of lightning also protected the building. The rumbling sound that came from the movement was very frightening.
Initially, the fortress city covered a 10-kilometer radius. Its area had grown to more than 100 kilometers after Watson’s modification. The fortress was slowly moving from west to east, and the starlight barrier on the ground was constantly extending. The fortress city had moved almost 100 kilometers in just a few minutes, leaving behind a 100-kilometer-long starlight barrier.
The teleportation array’s light appeared beneath Watson’s feet. His body fluttered in midair indefinitely, keeping up with the speed of the planetary stronghold.
The Holy Dragon Kingdom’s land was shaped like an uneven ellipse. The borders to the north and south were incredibly long. As the planetary fortress moved, a hemispherical barrier appeared, with the capital in the center, progressively enclosing the area of the Holy Dragon Kingdom.
Utan City was located in one of the few border cities not far from the planetary fortress.
“Look, Mommy! Meteors have fallen to the ground.”
A small child waited at the city entrance, clutching his mother’s hand. His eyes shone as he raised his head and pointed outside the city.
“Oh, meteors are in the sky. Why would meteors be on the ground?”
The boy’s mother patted his head with a look of astonishment on her face and a reproachful tone.
“I am not making this up. There are meteors on the ground.”
The youngster insisted, leading his mother to look up. She was astonished when she saw it. She noticed a massive star surrounded by a tornado at the city’s side. It brought with it a smothering sense of tyranny from all directions. It flew quickly beyond the city’s outskirts, causing a layer of starlight barrier to develop as far as the eye could see, shutting out the sunshine.
It was not just the surrounding cities. Following the movement of the planetary fortress, an increasing number of people witnessed the meteor and the massive light barrier that appeared at the border. Many people rubbed their eyes subconsciously; they thought they were dreaming.
Across the border…
Rumble!
“Did you see it? It appears that a meteor has just flown out of Mount Creation.”
A farmer’s work was interrupted by a loud bang. He rested his hoe on his shoulder and cast a narrowed gaze towards the distance.
“It appears to be a meteor. It is the first time I have seen a meteor on the ground. I believe Young Master Watson was standing on the meteor. I am not sure whether I saw it correctly.” Another farmer extended his angel wings and took flight. He grumbled to himself as he placed his palm on his brow.
“Only Young Master Watson is capable of creating a flying star on the ground! Look, a protective shield has formed on the ground where the flying star moved. It appears to be quite powerful. Even diamond-tier strikes could not penetrate such a formidable protective shell, right? Is Young Master Watson constructing a safety net to safeguard the kingdom?”
More Mount Creation residents took to the skies. Their eyesight was excellent for platinum-tier elites. They saw the meteor fly by, and a tall wall formed of starlight had emerged outside of Mount Creation, where the Dragonspine Snow Mountain had collapsed.
“The Holy Dragon Kingdom’s rotation will take around a day, based on the pace of the planetary fortress. A day is far too long. Please allow me to expedite this.”
Watson murmured to himself as he stood over the planetary fortress. He stretched his right hand toward the planetary fortress as he spoke, and a gleaming compass materialized in his hand. The Limitless Compass was one of the three peak starlight-tier artifacts he had previously made.
The Limitless Compass could manipulate space. Watson infinitely compressed the entire space where the Holy Dragon Kingdom was located at that time, forcing the planetary fortress to go around the Holy Dragon Kingdom once in just a few seconds.
The Holy Dragon Kingdom could be seen clearly from the sky. A clear outline formed on the border’s line as if a god was sketching a circle with a brush on the map of the continent.
That was not the end of the story. After constructing the planetary fortress, Watson waved his hand and called the Book of Wisdom. He invited ancient cities to descend and combine with those cities through the Book of Wisdom. He built the other eight planetary fortresses in the same manner.
On the outskirts of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, nine planetary fortresses rose, establishing nine invincible starlight walls. Each of them revolved at a distinct rate around the kingdom’s core. Watson nodded in approval after he finished those.
“With nine planetary fortresses and the starlight barrier, the Holy Dragon Kingdom’s defense will be invincible from now on!”
Previously, the most impressive thing he had accomplished with the fusion system was to fuse the whole boundary. He had overcome that and united the entire outer region of the Holy Dragon Kingdom.. It was an incredible miracle.
