The Flame of All Things Chapter 33 - The Palace Under the Sea

Through the protective shield of the submersible, you can still feel the vibration of the seabed. Ten miles away, the surface began to erupt with a column formed by bubbles. The mechanisms in the entire palace were spinning rapidly, and the sound was so great that it looked like lava about to erupt under the sea.

The empty music began to sound in everyone's ears.

"Damn, what is this!"

Thousands of meters below the seabed, there will be music, it sounds extremely ethereal, the tune is quaint, and it can bring everyone a chill.

It was as if they had opened the gates of hell, and inside were demons playing a chorus, celebrating the possibility of going to earth.

"Don't be nervous! there's no music on the bottom of the sea, and the sound should come from your radio. Captain Tersen looked unusually calm.

"Is it a mistake by the operator above?"

"This kind of song can't be on the playlist of anyone present, I'm afraid that only the palace residents below can listen to it. Nigel said

"You mean there's a program in the palace that plays after it starts, and the beast's technology is too awesome!" asked the Ocean Team member.

Nigel ignored him, if he was in the academy instead. He could slash it down with a crimson slash, no matter who was on the other side.

"Makes sense, it seems to be the channel released by the palace complex, because we are just above the palace, so the signal is too strong and obscures the Giant Elephant above. Our device automatically played this audio. But...... It's also incredible. Terson said.

"If this is the case, then the beast may have reached the level of technology of today's humans in some ways 10,000 years ago. ”

“...... Honestly, are we going down?" the members of the Ocean Squad were a little reluctant.

It was a dark sea a kilometer below, and the entire area relied only on their own submersibles except for the brightness provided by the deep sea well-being that dormant in the palaces. The whole environment creates an extremely terrifying atmosphere.

Strange frescoes, scarred bronze pillars, skeletal sculptures, and temple-like halls.

Ten thousand years ago, it was the domain of the king of the beasts.

And it is highly likely that the immortal kings may sleep in the palace below, and they will hardly die, but will only sleep and revive in endless reincarnation.

There is an additional downward crossing in the center of the palace complex, where the stones have been moved to other locations with the flow of the mechanism.

It's terrible, it's already dark here, the sun can't shine into the bottom of the sea so deep, but the entrance swallows up all the light sources, and there is that kind of singing from inside.

"It's all in this position, is there any reason to retreat?" Terson looked at the three pairs of nervous eyes.

"But...... At this level of entrance, the submersible cannot enter. ”

"yes. ”

Terson smiled, and an invisible ripple spread.

His submersible suddenly descended sharply and smashed directly into the ground. And there was actually an extra circular waterless range with a radius of ten meters around his body!

Magical power - the forbidden realm.

He pressed the brake eject button. The microsubmersible's glass cover catapulted him out of a dendritic space that protruded downward.

At this moment, Terson was standing on the bottom of the sea at a distance of more than 1,000 meters above sea level, and he also jumped twice to feel gravity.

"Bring your oxygen cylinder and come down. He laughs.

The members of the Ocean Team were stunned, what a powerful magical power this is, you must know that at this depth, the pressure of the sea water can flatten a piece of iron, and the captain Tersen actually used his forbidden domain to open such a large range.

"It's really not a loss, it's an A-level executive, one of the aces of the academy. A member of the Ocean Squad lamented.

"Interesting. Nigiel emerged from the submersible, expressionless.

"After entering the palace, the signal from above will be weakened a lot, do you have any other message to convey......? Suicide note or something. Otherwise, no one will know if you die here. Terson was full of composure.

"Our suicide note has been prepared for a long time, and in fact the Ocean Squad has gone through countless extremely dangerous missions, so we don't need to. ”

Terson turned to look at Nigel. But as soon as he met those eyes, he decided not to ask any more.

"So...... Let's go. S-class investigation commission, get rid of you. Hopefully we will come back victorious. He drew a cross on his chest, and at this moment, the captain was extremely religious.

Nigir took the lead, and there was a dazzling white flame in his palm, illuminating the passages of the palace.

The interior of the palace is obviously larger than it looks from the outside, and the avenue leading to the hall alone is a few hundred meters away.

"There's no water in here? How the hell is this done? The whole palace shouldn't be sealed!" The members of the Ocean Squad are naturally sensitive to the humidity of the air, and the air here is moist, but there is no standing water on the ground.

One member removes the oxygen mask.

"There's air?"

"How is this done?" said another member of the group, who also removed his oxygen mask. In the deep sea, oxygen is a necessary life-saving device, and one more liter is one more hope of survival.

So everyone took off their oxygen masks.

"It's amazing, could it be that the previous vibration was the mechanism that pumped the water out of the palace?"

Once again, they were amazed by the mysterious king's miraculous workmanship, if not counting the identity of the beast king, the level of the Qiqi Casting Palace was really miraculous and respectable.

The floor of the palace is made of huge stones of astonishing length and width, and the gaps between each stone are so tight that a blade cannot fit in.

"The pyramids in Egypt were built in a similar way to this, but the reason why the rocks on the pyramids are so compact is partly due to gravity. The rocks on the ground here don't have a binder like cement, and they seem to be forced together by something. Terson looked at the ground like an archaeologist.

"What is this, look at the sculpture on the side. Members of the Ocean Squad shouted.

The walls on both sides of the avenue are covered with hideous sculptures of human figures with wings. The eyes of each sculpture are facing each other one by one, and the line of sight just cuts the entire avenue horizontally.

"It's a little scary...... What is this, a Japanese ghost mask? Or something from Egyptian mythology? ”

He looked at the sculpture's face, and a chill escaped from his body.

"What are you doing? There's a backward passage here. Suddenly Nigel's voice came from the front, and before he knew it, he had reached the end of the hall.

Terson followed, leaving the members of the Ocean Squad behind.

"There are murals here that seem to depict Qiqi's conquests. ”

"You understand?"

"It seems that he is at war with another king, who is the hegemon of the West, and who can control the day and night of one side, except for the king of the same power. The soldiers of Poor Odd will age rapidly in that space. This puts the army of Poor Strange in trouble. ”

The members of the Ocean Team discussed with each other.

"The overlord above the sky, the shadow under the deep sea, the fire in the heart of the desert, the thunder in the sky, the frost on the mountaintops. Who is this king?"

"His ability seems to be to control the passage of time, which is not in line with what those words describe. ”

"Maybe this king is strong enough that he can manipulate the passage of time. He didn't have to fight for the throne at all. ”

The mural comes to the end.

Thousands of dark armies were separated in two parts, an oppressive wasteland.

It symbolizes the separation of the king and the poor Qi who are the hegemons of the West.

There were many eyes in the sky, and those eyes looked down wickedly.

This is a war between kings and kings, and the rest of the people have no room to meddle at all. In the inconspicuous place on the right is a string of inscriptions carved on iron tools. Tens of thousands of years have passed, but there is still a luster of energy in those nicked grooves.

- Chaos and strife, kings show their fangs, they see ...... The Throne Presence will eventually return, and they will want to replace it.

"It's this throne again? Oh my God! There can't really be a true emperor in the beast race who rules over the kings, right? What the hell is that? The team exclaimed.

"There's a mural in the back!"
