Chapter 348 Leaving the Ring for the New World

Richard took the gold and did not stop there. He used the space gem to open the portal. After a tour of Middle-earth, Richard left with a full load of harvest.

Marvel world, floating city.

A golden divine crystal was suspended in the air.

The powerful divine power was slowly extracted and then integrated into his soul. Soon, a feeling of fullness came. Richard knew that this time the divine power had been extracted to the limit.

He immediately stopped extracting the divine power, and then re-sealed the divine crystal. Then he opened the rune array in the meditation room. After absorbing Soran's divine power, Richard needed to erase the remaining consciousness on the divine power.

This is a slow and steady process, and there is not much room for tricks. However, Richard has some death divinity, so it is easier to erase the remaining consciousness of the divinity.

Richard continued to use his own consciousness to destroy Sauron's consciousness. With each death, the consciousness of the divine power would be diminished a little. After hundreds and thousands of times, Sauron's consciousness of the divine power was completely diminished.

Only then did Richard integrate this divine power into his soul. As the divine power was integrated, the golden light on Richard's soul became brighter.

It has been a month since Richard returned from the world of The Lord of the Rings, and he has almost digested all the gains from the world of The Lord of the Rings.

He reforged the One Ring, along with the nine human rings, and after removing the power of the nine human rings, he engraved new runes on them.

He blessed the nine human magic rings with the three attributes of wisdom, strength and physique, and also matched them with [Immunity to Toxins], [Immunity to Curses], [Magic Resistance], [Source of Vitality], [Regeneration Radiance], [Aura of Courage], [Source of Magic Power], [Immunity to Disease], and [Purification of Evil] and other states.

At the same time, one spell can be stored in each of the nine human magic rings and can be cast at any time.

Richard also endowed the other three elven rings with corresponding powers and attributes.

The power of the twelve rings is all connected to the One Ring, and the One Ring possesses all the power of the twelve rings. Of course, this power is not without cost.

Originally, Sauron did this because he integrated part of his soul crystal into it and sacrificed part of his soul. And this connection cannot superimpose all the power on the One Ring.

After Richard recast the One Ring, in order to strengthen the power of the ring, he infused all the divinity he got from Sauron into the One Ring.

With the blessing of five points of divine power, it is already possible to forge a powerful artifact.

This artifact ring used the original Supreme Ring of Sauron, and added Sauron's soul and divine power to complete the ring. Richard strengthened the power of the ring's bond, canceled the power of the ring to control other rings, and canceled the power of the ring to tempt corruption.

This ring can make ordinary people ascend to heaven in one step, and it also greatly improves Richard. Just the attribute blessing, even if Richard's own attribute exceeds 40 points, he can get 2-3 points of bonus for all five attributes, adding up to more than ten points.

This would not have been possible if divine power had not been added when forging this divine ring.

Richard distributed the remaining twelve rings to Aphrodite, Savannah, Cathaway, Madison and others. The power of these rings also reached the legendary level.

The species obtained from Middle-earth have been placed in the sub-plane. After this period of growth, the demiplane has become a sub-plane with an area of ​​more than one million square kilometers. After his efforts to replenish various resources, the sub-plane has begun to slowly form a complex ecological network.

Now even if a few species suddenly become extinct, it will not have any impact on the entire ecosystem.

Richard also hatched the eggs he stole from Eagle Mountain and placed them near the paulownia tree. When these giant eagles grew up, Richard would place them in Eagle Mountain in the east.

Since the death of Thanos, the entire Marvel universe has temporarily returned to peace, especially the Earth. The superheroes have also returned to their respective lives.

Although there are still some criminals, the world is much more stable than before. By the way, Richard recently heard that Captain America seemed to have traveled through time and space back to the past to find his Captain Carter.

Spider-Man went to college with his girlfriend Gwen, while Wanda and Pietro went to magic school with other children in the floating city. Iron Man Tony and Pepper got married, and they sent an invitation to Richard, but unfortunately Richard was not there, so they let the clone go.

The Arcane Eye network is still monitoring the world, and the construction of the floating city is ongoing. Richard plans to move the floating city out of the secondary plane after the buildings on the floating city are completed.

The magic academy in the floating city has now been successfully opened. Some of the teaching materials were written by Richard, and some were brought from the Harry Potter world. After being repaired, they are very suitable for learning by junior and intermediate wizards.

Richard used these spell books as teaching materials for middle and low-level magic academies. As for the advanced magic academies, there are very few students now, and only Richard's clones can teach.

Only in advanced magic academies will various spell knowledge, spellcasting techniques, and spellcasting expertise be taught.

The floating city is now gradually getting on track, with a large number of houses being built. This city, which is planned to accommodate 100,000 people, is growing little by little.

Richard stayed in the floating city for three months, integrating all the divinity in Sauron's divine crystal into his body. By now, the divinity power in his body has reached thirty points.

Thirty points of divine power allowed his body and soul to undergo an all-round transformation. According to the rules of the Motera world, thirty points of divinity just reached the threshold of a weak divine power spirit.

To be more precise, his current challenge level is 45-50, which is equivalent to a medium-level god. Of course, the range between medium-level gods is still very large, with the lowest level being 45 and the highest even exceeding 60. After integrating the divine power, Richard opened the portal again. The purple portal lit up, and Richard walked in without hesitation.

Time and space transformation.

Thick smog enveloped the entire city, and the low, dilapidated streets were full of garbage. Although it was still dark, a large number of workers wearing ragged clothes were already heading to the mines to work.

A dilapidated train started slowly, and a large number of workers entered the carriage like ants. The dilapidated train traveled underground, and the dilapidated carriages were squeezed like cans.

The train traveled at a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour and arrived at its destination after more than an hour.

This is a huge mine. The air is very turbid. The huge air purifier makes a buzzing sound and makes a clanging sound from time to time, as if the machine will be scrapped in the next second.

Looking up, the sky is very dark. In fact, the sky is completely fake. The glow is just artificial light simulating the sky. In fact, the city is wrapped in rocks.

This is an underground city.

Richard passed through a magnificent river of time and space, a door appeared in front of him, and he entered the door the next second.

Richard frowned. The air quality here was very poor, and the elemental energy was extremely low. It belonged to a low-magic world, and the elemental energy was very inactive and in an inert state. This meant that he would need to expend more magic power if he wanted to cast spells.

"The system detects the surrounding environment."

Looking up, although it looked like the sky, Richard could tell at a glance that it was an illusion of light. The so-called sky was just an illusion created by high-tech imaging technology.

In fact, there is only a rock there. The dust in the air makes it hard to breathe. It is obvious that the living environment in this city is very bad. The surrounding houses are low and dilapidated, the streets are full of garbage, and there is a clear dividing line between the center of the city and here.

"Beep, Master, the environmental inspection is complete."

"The current world's elemental energy concentration is low. The current environment is 1,500 meters underground. The current air contains excessive levels of harmful gases and heavy metals."

"The level of technology exceeds the normal level of Blue Planet"

"This world is a little strange!" Richard frowned and said, "It's a bit like the world after a nuclear war."

Otherwise, Richard couldn't understand why humans didn't live on the ground, but had to live in this underground city.

Richard cast an invisibility spell and quickly found a lone human. He then used suggestion on him, cast it directly on the human, and began to question him.

"What time is it now?"

“2273年5月17日11点23分。”

"Can you tell me why humans live in underground cities?"

"Because a nuclear war broke out on the surface, the entire world was severely polluted by nuclear radiation. At the same time, many creatures mutated and became very dangerous. We can't survive on the surface."

“When will a nuclear war break out?”

"2165, a hundred years have passed since then. Before the nuclear war broke out, many countries built cities underground as shelters. After the war broke out, humans took refuge in the underground cities, and each underground city was like an isolated island."

"What's the situation in the dungeon now?"

"The underground city is managed by the Joint Committee, but everyone knows that they are puppets of the chaebol. The underground city is now controlled by several large chaebols, and all of us work for them in exchange for food, water, electricity, air, and most importantly, medicine."

"Because the nuclear war was so brutal, even the underground water and air were affected by radiation, so we need to take some medicine or injections to reduce radiation every once in a while."

“These drugs are firmly in the hands of those companies.”

"After the catastrophe, the whole world was irradiated. Even if we eat clean food and drink purified water, our bodies will be polluted by accumulated radiation bit by bit. Only medicine can eliminate it."

"What is the name of this city?"

"Underground City No. 13, New York."

"Where do those tycoons live?"

"They live in the upper city. It is said that the environment there is better. The air is filtered twelve times and contains almost no radiation. The water source is also filtered multiple times. There is plenty of light. They can eat fruits and vegetables every day. Unlike us, they don't have to eat only synthetic nutrients."

"How do we exchange resources here in the Lower City?"

"Mining, or doing some other work, but it's mainly mining. Every year, we use minerals to exchange for various living resources. For example, lighting and air must reach a certain production volume before they can be provided."

"Since it's the end of the world, shouldn't those chaebol companies need a large workforce? Why are they still so oppressive?"

"Because there are too many people in this city. The population of this underground city was originally designed to be 500,000, but no one knows how many people are in this underground city now, but it is at least 2 million."

Through suggestion, Richard quickly got the information he wanted. The information was magical, and the final product was actually realized here, even the sunlight and air had to be bought with money.
While learning about this, Richard also heard him talk about some small shelters. Before the catastrophe, there were still a large number of private shelters in the world, some of which had been opened and some were still closed.

Richard walked on the edge of the underground city, which was expanded by the people in the lower city over the years. After digging the rock, more space was obtained, but because there were no supporting facilities, the environment here was very harsh.

The dilapidated high-rise building has all kinds of dirty words written on its cement walls, and there are a lot of shacks made of plastic sheets on the other side. More than 90% of the people living here are undocumented.

Only a small number of people in the Lower City District can pass the study test and enter the Upper City District with excellent grades. Once they enter the Upper City District, they can bring up to six relatives with them. However, no more than fifty people can pass the test each year.
