Chapter 13: The Beast of the Endless Stomach

In the original game world, there is a group of "literature parties", which are hobbies such as reading copywriting materials in the game world and digging deep into the settings behind the world view, and are also active and frequent visitors to major forums and video websites.

Among them, about the "never-ending storm" in the depths of the Atlanta Ocean, there have been various citations from the literature party, speculating that it comes from the interface between the main plane and the "deep sea plane".

In the occult sense, the universe in which we exist is the main plane, also known as the "material plane".

In addition to the material plane, there are many secondary planes that circulate with the main plane and exchange matter or energy.

For example, Miya's "shadow" sequence ability, the shadow world that she teleports into is actually the so-called "shadow plane". The light of the main plane is constantly absorbed by the Shadow Realm (the exact mechanism is unknown), so when everyone looks at the night sky, the night sky is pitch black.

Otherwise, with the near-infinite number of galaxies in the universe, even a small bright spot per star would be enough to brighten our night sky.

The deep-sea plane is a similar existence. It absorbs the energy of the background radiation wave from the main plane, and then exports a large amount of matter - the interface in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean on the planet Helel, mainly outward, a large amount of water.

Even in the time of great antiquity, the Atlanta Ocean was not originally a sea, but a super-empire built on land called "Atlantis". According to the research of the Literature Party, due to a major accident that had been erased by history in the Mage Association at that time, it suddenly connected to the deep sea plane near the imperial capital, creating an interface that constantly sprayed water outward, so that the prosperous western continent was soon completely submerged by the ocean within a few years.

The remnants of the Ancestral Mage Guild did their best to open the interface to another plane (now the seashore of the ancient city of Argos on the Cires Peninsula) on the shores of the eastern continent, so that a large amount of water that continued to enter this world was continuously excreted, avoiding the risk of Helel becoming a liquid ocean planet.

The Ancestral Mage Guild, known as "Zondrik", fled west to the continent after the fall of the Atlantean Empire to monitor the displacement of the Western Abyssal Interface.

In the original forum, when this post with various historical evidence was released, it attracted countless players to sail to Atlanta, and sent them to death in various tricks in the deep storm, trying to find the lost treasure of Atlantis...... Of course, the main thing is to look for the so-called Zondrik group to see if they can take on some tasks or something.

With the end of a large number of players' risky behaviors, this matter is considered to be a big hole dug by the satellite released by the game planning, and this plot has not been arranged in the current version.

However, in the tavern of Angra SansΓ­smo, when Aske heard the name "Zondrik", he quickly remembered the archaeological post that caused a sensation in the forum at the time.

So in the mutual temptation with the sacrifice just now, he deliberately bluffed and used a large number of keywords to deter the other party - sure enough, the other party immediately changed his attitude and planned to introduce them into the inner room for a detailed discussion.

Passing through the foyer cavern, inside is the main hall with a larger dome. There are fewer Naga guards here, but there are more Naga wearing sacrificial robes.

They sit or lie down, soak the snake's tail in the pool, constantly drawing various mystical symbols in the air, and their mouths are also chanting, as if they are performing some kind of sacrificial ritual.

"The deep-sea plane, in fact, is no longer a threat." The Naga priest who was leading them said suddenly, and then kept silent, apparently observing Asker's expression, testing how much he already knew.

"Because of the bottomless pit of the East?" Asker asked.

"That's right." The priest thought to himself that this guy actually knew this, "The Mediterranean, as you humans call it, was called the 'Eastern Basin' by the empire in our time, and it is a fertile land surrounded by mountains and low depression in the middle, and nearly one-third of the empire's population lives. ”

"After the deep-sea plane collided with the main plane and broke through, a large amount of seawater poured in from the west, washing away our central checkpoint (i.e., the Strait of Gibraltar), causing the entire eastern basin to be completely submerged and destroyed."

"At that time, our sect was just a branch of the Ancestral Mage Guild in the East. Taking matters into their own hands with the complete loss of contact with HQ, they took the risk and ultimately saved the world from being swallowed by an endless ocean. ”

With a faint sense of pride, the priest introduced the savior exploits of their Zongdrilik in the past. Asker echoed with emotion, and thought to himself, isn't the deep sea plane also something you made up? If something happens, you're going to cut it off with your organization's headquarters?

"However, it wasn't just water that came out of the deep sea plane at that time."

With that, the Naga Sacrifice closed his mouth again just right, and then looked at Asker.

How is this like a quiz game, you have to give me an answer before you move on to the next question...... Asker was sneering in his heart, and he speculated:

"It's an Endless Stomach Beast, right?"

"The Endless Giant Stomach Beast is only a tiny shrimp-like existence in the deep sea plane, so it can come here through the interface." The Naga Sacrifice continued, the water flowing along his serpent's tail and parting naturally, "Yet in our world, no one can defeat a colossus. ”

"Leviathan is the offspring of this monster?" Asker asked.

"Yes and no." The Naga sacrifice was noncommittal, "Their life level is much higher than ours, and they don't need to reproduce their offspring through mating." To be precise, the Leviathan is a part of the body of the Endless Stomach Beast, a transcendent creature that has been differentiated from the dead skin that has been shed from its surface. ”

Asker: ..................

He'd seen Leviathan larvats, and ordinary Leviathan larvats are the size of a city, and the size of a Leviathan is about the same size as a province in our country. If the Leviathan is just the dandruff of the Endless Stomach, then this Endless Stomach Beast ......

Isn't it at least as big as Eurasia combined?

"Hmm." Seeing his surprised expression, the Naga priest nodded and said, "Otherwise, do you think that the Atlantean Empire, which has been strong for nearly 10,000 years, will really be submerged by a mere flood?" ”

"So the destruction of Atlantis is because the moment it connected to the deep sea plane, it was directly crushed by the Endless Giant Stomach Beast that appeared?" Asker asked, guessingly.

"To be precise, it was swallowed up." The Naga priest corrected earnestly, "So there shouldn't be an onomatopoeia for 'snapping', but it doesn't matter." ”

"In short, the Endless Giant Stomach Beast needs to sleep for a while in order to digest the Atlanta continent, and when it wakes up again, the next feeding target will definitely be the North Continent or the South Continent where you live, and it will eventually devour the entire world."

"Therefore ......" At this point, the Naga priest once again stopped talking and looked at Asker with a test gaze, as if to say, "If you can't guess, I don't need to tell you the rest of the information."

If you ask him how to solve a boss that can't be defeated, the other party probably can't guess it. However, after all, Asker has played games such as Lao Roll 5, and his thinking in this regard is naturally extremely broad, and when he thinks that the other party is from the past timeline, the answer is about to come out.

"Since you can't beat it now, let's wait until you can fight it in the future, and then kill it." Asker replied.

The Naga priest raised an eyebrow unexpectedly, but did not answer immediately.

The trio walked through the grand main hall and the long cloister to the bottom of the cavern:

A small cavern with a lake at the bottom.

"So." The Naga priest turned again, "What price do you need to hire you?" ”
