A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 339 Goddess of the Magic Network

Jiang Shuzhou was a little confused. How could this guy have so many forms?

Why don't I have any backup hidden energy sources?

But there's nothing we can do; she's the goddess of magic.

"Accept your death."

Mystra snapped his fingers, and with a crisp sound, countless spells appeared in the sky, each one incredibly powerful, enough to kill Jiang Shuzhou countless times over.

What should we do? Should we just surrender and run away by faking our death?

This idea only flashed through Jiang Shuzhou's mind for a moment before he rejected it.

That's impossible. Even if Jiang Shuzhou gave up the struggle and abandoned the puppet, he would still suffer endless pursuit.

"Your death is inevitable; do not think that the Lock can save you."

Mystra's voice came through; the guy was putting pressure on him.

"Really? I don't think I'll pass on the knowledge of the Magic Network."

Jiang Shuzhou said.

"You have no chance. Death has already anchored you, and your soul will be annihilated along with it. This is the price you pay for offending the gods."

Jiang Shuzhou frowned upon hearing this. At the same time, he could also sense that Mystra had already anchored him with some kind of ability. Perhaps what He said was true.

Jiang Shuzhou was unable to remove this anchor because the source of this power was not even legendary; it belonged to the gods, or even to the powerful god Mystra.

It took a legendary old mage and a floating city to fight against an incarnation of a powerful god.

To kill a powerful god, even a veteran legendary mage with a floating city, one person alone is not enough. Before the floating city existed, even a legendary mage could not fight a god.

Moreover, Jiang Shuzhou isn't even a legend yet.

Moreover, this is His divine kingdom.

The surrounding scenery began to change; countless ruins were being rebuilt, and the divine kingdom of the goddess Mystra was being restored.

The palace began to become even more magnificent and resplendent, radiating a powerful glow.

All of this seems to have reached a dead end.

Jiang Shuzhou frowned deeply. At this point, he no longer counted on the other mages. Faced with such a powerful enemy, unless they were legendary figures, they would probably be of no use.

Perhaps... a legendary mage could come and help?

Jiang Shuzhou suddenly realized that perhaps the Legends had noticed Mystra's current situation and would soon come to help.

"You're counting on those legendary mages? Unfortunately, this is my divine realm, and no matter what happens, they won't know."

"You should be glad that I wasted my only chance to use my power ahead of time for your sake."

"If you hadn't pushed me to this point, I wouldn't have used the magic network or this power."

Mystra's words extinguished Jiang Shuzhou's hope, but at the same time, they ignited a flame in Jiang Shuzhou's heart.

The more pressure he faced, the clearer Jiang Shuzhou's thinking became.

He had already figured out the path to survival, and even to fighting back.

"It's time for your curtain to fall!"

As Mystra spoke, countless spells radiating intense destructive power rained down from the sky.

Ralf, Alger, and the others stared blankly at the spell in the sky.

"What, what's going on?"

"have no idea."

"When will the Goddess of Magic be able to break through the barrier?"

"It can certainly be used next time."

The mages stopped casting spells; they had already used this kind of magic, and that was all they could do. There was nothing more they could do.

The saints standing nearby saw that the mage had stopped attacking, so they silently stopped as well, knelt down on the spot, and began to pray.

Everything seemed meaningless.

When the spell ended, everything fell silent, and no one survived.

But there were two exceptions, or rather, two gods.

"Can a stolen throne make you a king? In my opinion, you are nothing but a tyrant."

Jiang Shuzhou's words rang out.

"How is this possible? You, how could you still be alive?"

Mystra could no longer sense its mark. It had assumed that Jiang Shuzhou was dead, but to its surprise, Jiang Shuzhou was still alive.

This also greatly alarmed Him.

I've tried so hard, how come you're still alive?

"Why are you allowed to have a second stage, but I'm not?"

Jiang Shuzhou's voice came from behind, and Mistra looked in the direction of the sound.

There stood a figure, radiating golden light just like Him, exuding a terrifying aura. He too was being enveloped by the golden light, which was changing his form.

"It was you! You stole my power!"

"Thief!"

Mystra let out a sharp roar; He had completely broken down.

"Don't be so stingy. Besides, the Magic Network isn't just half yours. Matt Crofts, remember? He still has the other half."

"I was merely borrowing your power, senior. Don't worry, I'll clear his name later. Everyone will know then that you're nothing but a despicable thief!"

In a moment of crisis, Jiang Shuzhou suddenly understood something.

The reason why the Goddess of the Magic Net is the Goddess of the Magic Net is because she relies on the Magic Net. In other words, the real god is the Magic Net, and anyone can become the Goddess of the Magic Net, as long as they have the corresponding authority.

However, no one knew that Matt Crofts existed, nor did anyone know that he had an account with the same privileges as Mystra, not even Mystra himself knew.

Using other people's things will inevitably come at a price sooner or later.

If Mystra can do this, why can't I, Jiang Shuzhou, do the same?

Of course, the name could be changed to Wanfa Xianjun, which sounds more ethereal and also fits the name of Jiang Shuzhou's hometown.

Now, Jiang Shuzhou, using Matt's account, forcibly intercepted half of Mystra's energy, which is equivalent to becoming a god himself.

However, if He truly wanted to become a god, He would have to kill Mystra.

Of course, Jiang Shuzhou could never become a god. Putting aside the fact that his soul is not strong enough, he can only control this power through the magic network for a short time. If the time is too long, the best outcome for Jiang Shuzhou is to be completely devoured by the power and become an unconscious god of the magic network, turning into a harmless idol.

The worst outcome is a complete collapse of the soul and utter death.

"You, you're very good!"

Mystra was so angry that she couldn't even finish her sentence.

Then, as if enraged, He unleashed a powerful spell, striking directly at Jiang Shuzhou.

However, when His magic struck Jiang Shuzhou, it was like a gentle breeze and light rain, without any power or ripples.

You're invincible, kid!

Jiang Shuzhou's authority was slightly higher than Mystra's. If the other party hadn't controlled the magic network for many years, Jiang Shuzhou might have been able to seize all her power.

"You thief!"

Mystra roared.

"So what? Don't you steal from others too? We all steal from each other; we're all in the same trade."

"I'll laugh at you for the rest of my life for the fact that you're a thief."
