Chapter 351: The Fusion Of The Twelve Golden Palaces

Atlantis.
At that moment, Watson was strolling in the underwater kingdom. Even though it was called a kingdom, Atlantis was only a little larger than the Floating City of Stanley. It was different from the buildings on the surface. Its architecture had an ancient style; it was similar to a temple. The pillars outside the temple were covered with glowing seaweed and corals that were unique to the ocean.
The buildings in the entire kingdom were arranged in a ring-shaped ladder. However, that ladder did not go upward but downward. An altar in the center, pulled by eight iron cables dozens of meters thick, had a bottomless abyss beneath it. Occasionally, colorful bubbles would appear from the abyss—it was astonis.h.i.+ngly beautiful.
“That is the city where the sea folks live—Atlantis. Compared to the cities on land, it is unique, indeed.”
Watson stared at the buildings and sighed.
A sky-blue water elemental law domain spread out beneath his feet. It covered hundreds of meters, preventing thousands of slaves from being drowned in seawater and suffocating.
Poseidon and the others were floating in front of him. Then, Owen turned around with a smug look on his face and said, “Atlantis has existed for at least a thousand years. It is obviously different compared to human cities.
You can find lost magic in this place. Humans could capture our kind because there are too many of you. If they were to come here, I guarantee that they won’t be able to return. I dare say that there is no other building in the outside world that is better preserved and stronger than ours.”
Watson smiled and did not say anything. Atlantis was indeed stronger than most human cities, but it was not at the strongest level. Mount Creation was definitely stronger than that place.
When he saw the disbelief in Watson’s smile, Owen pointed at a huge sh.e.l.l nearby and said, “Don’t doubt my words. Take that ocean pearl cannon as an example. It is engraved with powerful magic. It can be used to project huge pearls that can cause large-scale damage underwater. As long as it has sand in it, the huge pearl cannon will be able to produce new pearls. Well, there is an endless supply of sand here.”
The sh.e.l.l that Owen pointed was near the city. The giant half-closed sh.e.l.l, which was a hundred meters wide, was on a cliff at the bottom of the sea. A thick and long cannon barrel extended out from its crack .
“Furthermore, we have huge jellyfishes that are unique to us. If one were stung by that thing, even a gold-tier elite would be immediately poisoned to death. Even a platinum-tier elite would not feel comfortable with the poison. Atlantis has thousands of similar jellyfish guarding the kingdom.”
Then, Owen pointed toward the sky above Atlantis. A few luminous jellyfish that were also hundreds of meters in size slowly floated past them. Those jellyfish were like giant protective umbrellas, defending Atlantis from attacks. Their luminous tentacles floated and swayed intimidatingly.
Poseidon reached out to stop Owen from boasting about their city and asked Watson a question. As a young genius, Watson must have a clear understanding of humans’ power. She wanted to know how Atlantis compared to the buildings on the land.
“Well, yes, some things do need improvements,” Watson replied casually. His words immediately caused Owen to be displeased.
Watson replied casually. His words immediately caused Owen to be displeased.
“Kid, you don’t know what you’re talking about. If we activate the defense system, do you think you’d be able to get into Atlantis safely?”
Owen looked at Watson provocatively. Watson only smiled and did not respond.
It was not difficult for him to pa.s.s through the defense system with his full strength, but he did not need to reveal that.
Poseidon did not continue to ask any more questions when Watson remained silent. She led them to Atlantis.
“Your Majesty!”
As soon as they reached the city, a few mermaids patrolling with harpoons walked up to them and bowed respectfully to Poseidon. They looked at Watson and the thousands of slaves curiously.
“These are my guests from ash.o.r.e. They helped us to save Alice and the others. Find an empty palace in the city and drain the water with magic. Our guests can stay there.”
Poseidon gave her orders to the guards and then turned toward Watson. “Watson, it may take a few days to find a palace and drain the water. During that time, you can stay with us at the sea G.o.d’s palace.”
“There’s no need to go through so much trouble, Your Majesty. Since I brought these people here, I should be responsible for their living s.p.a.ce.”
Watson waved his hand and said, “I need to change the environment here a little. I wonder if you would agree to that, Your Majesty.”
Poseidon nodded in agreement. “What do you need to do?”
She knew that Watson must have thought her way was too inefficient. She would have to set up a magic circle to drain the palace and keep the seawater from submerging it again. She would have to put a lot of effort into making sure those land creatures could live freely and breathe easily. It might take her a few days to complete that. Did Watson have a better idea?
When Poseidon nodded, Watson extended his right hand toward the underwater city.
“System fusion, activate.”
Then, the ground within a radius of hundreds of kilometers around Atlantis suddenly changed. It started to shake. The two underwater mountains were the first to shake and collide.
The rocks on those mountains were very ordinary. However, during the collision, the two mountains transformed into rays of light that intertwined, turning into an even larger mountain that shone with a black iron l.u.s.ter. The ordinary rocks had turned into black iron-tier rocks.
That was not the end of it. More and more mountains collided, and the black iron-tier rocks gradually upgraded into bronze and silver-tier rocks. Finally, they turned into golden mountain peaks that emitted a golden l.u.s.ter.
The golden mountain peaks stood at the bottom of the water. That scene shocked everyone so much that their mouths were agape.
Soon, the golden mountains continued to merge under Watson’s control. The original mountains became pillars that supported the palace. Some of the plankton and coral in the water were also merged into the palace, forming a colorful dome.
In just a minute, twelve palaces that spanned dozens of kilometers appeared around Atlantis.
[Congratulations, Master, on the successful fusion. You have obtained a platinum-tier building, Twelve Golden Palaces.]
[Platinum-tier building: Twelve Golden Palaces]
[Effects: Starlight Charging (each palace is made of top-tier, gold-tier materials. The palace can absorb the starlight from the sky to provide energy), Water Avoidance (the palace will expel the seawater and filter the oxygen), Cultivation Enhancement (the cultivation speed in the palace will be increased by 100%), Self-healing (when the palace is damaged, it will absorb the energy to recover).]
[Additional effect: Twelve Palaces Array (each palace can release starlight to activate a peak gold-tier magical array to fight the enemy. The magical array can be combined to unleash a platinum-tier power).]
As the twelve golden palaces were created, star charts appeared on each palace. One had the image of two fishes with their heads and tails connected, and one was a huge water bottle. Then, specific information about each palace before Watson.
“I’m not dreaming, am I?”
Owen rubbed his eyes and looked at the newly-created twelve palaces. Those twelve palaces together were not any smaller than Atlantis. Watson’s disdain toward Atlantis made him a little angry. When he realized that Watson wanted to create residences for the slaves, he had already planned to mock the youth if it were not good enough.
However, he was dumbfounded when he saw the new palaces.
“Are those palaces real?”
Poseidon was also shocked. Her legs dissipated in a swarm of light and turned into a sky-blue fishtail. She swayed as she quickly arrived in front of the nearest palace with a dome flas.h.i.+ng with the Capricornus star map. She extended her hand and touched it.
The cold touch reminded Poseidon that everything was real.
“The palaces are now completed, and it’s enough for thousands of people to live in them. It’s even enough for their friends and family! However, just the palace is not enough. We should build a pa.s.sage between each palace and the city of Atlantis so that the land creatures can move freely.”
Watson waved his hand again and activated the system fusion..
However, he did fuse the terrain, but the ubiquitous seawater.
[Congratulations on the successful fusion, Master. You have obtained a gold-tier special structure, the Rainbow Bridge.]
Twelve ma.s.sive rainbow-colored bridges appeared in the direction of the palaces, with Atlantis as the center. Well, to be precise, twelve rainbow-colored pools of seawater had appeared. The seawater flowed continuously to form a bridge.
Effects: Spatial Teleportation (entering the Rainbow Bridge can instantly reach any location on the bridge), Attraction of Sea Beasts (the Rainbow Bridge will attract the creatures in the ocean. The creatures that absorb the Rainbow Bridge’s seawater will automatically become the bridge’s guards).]
[Additional effects: Aurora (the rainbow bridge will always emit a gentle light, illuminating the depths of the ocean).]
“This is a success.”
Watson clapped his hands. Suddenly, he noticed that the people around him were looking at him with bizarre expressions. “Don’t look at me like that. This is a piece of cake for me.”
A piece of cake?
That was the reason it was so scary—everyone had similar thoughts about that.
If Watson had spent a lot of effort to build those palaces and bridges, they would not have said anything about it. They were shocked because Watson had done it so easily. He had built twelve palaces that were as great as Atlantis.. If Watson were serious, he could create something amazing.
