Chapter 2990 Inanna's Knot

In the tower that was about to collapse, there was only an empty brain pool, and many mind flayer tadpoles in the pool who didn't realize that a catastrophe was imminent.

Outside the tower, Joan sensed that the mastermind Noah jumped out of the current timeline and did not stop it.

She led the crowd to attack Odis this time, just to vent her anger on behalf of the beholders and to teach the mind flayers who were causing trouble all day long, but she didn't want to kill the mastermind and completely destroy Odis.

After all, she still has a clone living in Odis as a mind flayer, and she has some affection for this soul-absorbing city.

"Kshatriya, tear down the tower opposite."

"Haha! Great, I've been waiting impatiently for a long time!"

The adamantine colossus crazily extracted the legendary magic power, opened a pair of giant palms, and blasted an improved version of the "Five Realms Hell Ball" that was double-amplified by "maximum magic" and "powerful magic" towards the Tower of the Mastermind!

A ball of shining light appeared above the spire, as if the sun was in the sky, and then exploded violently, instantly releasing energy shock waves of five attributes: fire, electricity, acid, cold, and sound waves, with a total destructive power of up to 300 energy levels.

The violent magic power overturned and crushed the tower, turning the bricks into dust.

When the big explosion that shocked the whole city subsided, the Tower of the Master Brain had been completely leveled out, the brain pool hidden in the tower was exposed, and a layer of dust was floating on the water surface.

The adamantine statue bent down, stretched out a pair of giant palms, and inserted its ten fingers deeply into the rock bases on both sides of the brain pool. When it was lifted suddenly, the brain pool trembled violently, causing waves to rise on the water surface, and the tadpoles in the pool were also frightened , wandering in a panic.

Accompanied by an ear-piercing roar, the brain pool covering an area of ​​100 mu was abruptly pulled out of its foundation by the adamantine colossus, and then it was thrown towards the municipal square of Odes!

Boom!

The tumbling brain pool hit the square, shattered on the spot, and the juice flowed horizontally. Countless tadpoles fell into the soil, struggling and wriggling.

The beholders and mind flayers, who were fighting in the air, saw this scene and stopped fighting at the same time. The eyes of both the enemy and us were all focused on the broken brain pool, showing different emotions such as surprise, ecstasy, and panic.

The adamantine colossus raised its right arm, and its palm was filled with magical brilliance, intending to blast another "five-world hell ball" towards the center of the square to kill all the remaining mind flayer tadpoles.

"Forget it, let's call it a day."

Qiao An couldn't bear it, and stopped the adamantine colossus from killing them all, and then sent a signal, calling the beholders to return to the cabin of the colossus, and start the "myth teleportation".

After a few seconds, the huge body of the adamantine colossus disappeared in the glowing teleportation array.

Led by the "Tower of the Mastermind", almost all the buildings in the city of Odis have been reduced to ruins.

The terrified mind flayers in the city watched as the adamantine statue carried the beholders away, looking at me, I looked at you, all of them were depressed and had nothing to say.

...

On the same night, contrary to the gloomy Odes, the beholders who returned triumphantly held a grand celebration in Udinos.

Saoirse generously opened the palace wine cellar, and ordered the slaves to move barrels of wine to the council square, pile them up into a hill, and let the beholders drink freely.

Joan did not attend the celebration banquet, and first sent the golden statue back to Cloud City, then returned to Udinos, inspected the territory as Mitra, and then returned to the bottom of the lair well, lost in thought.

The festive atmosphere of the carnival in the city cannot conceal the potential crisis of the city and the beholders. Where will Udinos go after losing the queen?

This question gave her a headache.

While she was lost in thought, Inanna came back.

"Mother, is it convenient to take the time to chat with me?"

"Of course, Inanna, you're doing really well today."

Joan said softly.

Inanna smiled shyly, with confusion in her eyes.

"Just now at the celebration venue, Sir Saoirse also praised me for my excellent performance in the raid on Odes tonight. With my strength, I proved to my compatriots that I am qualified to succeed the throne left by His Majesty Ishtar, but... "

"But you don't want to stay in Udinos and rule over your compatriots?" Joan spoke out for her daughter.

Inanna nodded, and said quietly: "I admit that I am selfish, unwilling to sacrifice freedom for the public good, and do not want to be restricted by this dark and cramped dungeon, but this is not my refusal to inherit the supreme position all the reasons."

"Aside from personal will, what power is there to prevent you from wearing the crown?" Joan asked her daughter.

"The misunderstanding and jealousy of my compatriots." Inanna sighed, and then poured out her grievances to her adoptive mother: "My lord, even if the warlords and nobles in the city finally accept me as king, it is only a forced choice, and it is by no means spontaneous. Really love me, support me, and this is the knot in my heart that I can't let go of."

"My lord mother, if I was born a human being and grew up in human society, if I know that my hard work and sacrifices will be recognized, appreciated and respected by my compatriots, even if I have selfish intentions, I will not refuse sacrifice yourself."

"Because I know that I love my compatriots, and my compatriots love me, even if I sacrifice my own life and freedom, as long as it can make the majority of compatriots live better, and I appreciate my sacrifice, then my sacrifice is worth it! What a pity! , as a beholder, I don't feel that the sacrifices I made for my compatriots are worth anything!"

"Inanna, you imagine human beings too well. If you get in touch with more people and live in human society for a while, you will know that human beings are not so perfect, and there are many ungrateful people."

Joan smiled wryly, and brought the subject back.

"But this is not important. I can understand your intentions. Compared with humans, the social relationship between beholders is indeed more distant, and the relationship between compatriots is weaker. Even if you sacrifice your freedom for them and play the role of queen that you don't like, You will not get the gratitude and love of your compatriots, but you will be questioned about your greed for power, ambition, and even ridicule behind your back that you are unworthy of virtue, and join forces to plan a conspiracy to overthrow your rule."

"That's right, my lord mother, since I don't like to rule over this group of ungrateful and ungrateful compatriots, and my compatriots don't like to be ruled by me, it's only because of the coercion of you and Lord Saoirse that I keep my superficial attitude toward me." Respect, forcing me to use "myth control" to exert mental control over them in order to rule, then this kind of monarch and subjects are suspicious of each other, hurt each other, have no freedom for each other, and cause great pain to both sides Relationship, what is the need for it to exist?"

The more Inanna spoke, the more excited she became, tears welled up in her eyes.
