Chapter 253: Lord of the Sky
The ordinary people who fled only felt the terrifying natural environment and a dangerous path, but Leo and the Webweaver felt something much more, something that came from the abyss in front of them.
The towering mountains around it are like a natural isolation force field, sealing all the anomalies in the abyss in the mountains, even if you are standing at the exit of the cave, as long as your body does not come out of the mountain, you can't feel the terrifying atmosphere in the abyss.
The weaver Leo walked out of the cave some distance before the weaver, and before they could catch up with the fleeing party that had already walked up the path of the mountain wall, they stood still as if they had been immobilized.
However, Leo, who was following behind, didn't realize what was happening in front of him, so he walked out of the cave after him, but just as he walked out of the cave with his front feet, and before his hind feet left the ground, he felt a terrifying aura and suffocating psionic energy fluctuations that filled the surrounding heaven and earth.
"Omega-level higher beings!" Leo made an almost instinctive judgment in his mind almost as he felt the terrifying aura, and several images emerged, the mysterious presence felt by the golden deer, the Lord of Turbidity and Lightness, and the subspace that inspired the psionic energy to enter.
Although this psionic energy fluctuation is much weaker than the three of them, this psionic energy fluctuation is obviously more real and closer, and it gives Leo a completely different feeling in his mind and body.
When Leo saw the golden giant deer, he was just watching from a long distance, and coupled with a special place like the Black Forest Wonderland, he felt more of the spiritual shock brought by that kind of high-level creature. As for the subspace that the spirit inadvertently entered when the spiritual energy was activated, even if there was an existence that might be higher than the golden giant deer, he left the subspace before that existence appeared, and the feeling he obtained was very vague.
Only the Lord of Turbidity and Light Spirit met face to face, but at that time, he was sent into that special environment by the power of the sacrificial knife, protected by the power of the sacrificial knife, isolated from any adverse effects beyond the scope of the soul, and the feeling was not so strong, and it was not even as shocking as facing the incarnation of the True Eye.
However, now, in the abyss surrounded by mountains, Leo fully felt the invisible aura and psionic fluctuations that only true omega-level higher beings have, and the true eyes of the day were like behemoths and foot mole ants at all.
Leo lifted his feet with difficulty, and slowly retreated back to the cave behind, and the moment he retreated into the cave, the invisible aura and spiritual energy fluctuations that had been pressing on his body like a mountain a moment ago all disappeared in an instant, and he had to hold on to the cave wall as if he had exhausted all his strength to stand firm in place.
After regaining a little strength, Leo couldn't help but look at the webweavers who were still suppressed by the psionic fluctuations and powerful aura, and he could see that the situation of the webweavers was also very bad at the moment, so he immediately took out a previously prepared mountaineering rope from the storage space, made a simple ferrule, threw it out, lassoed the webweavers, and forcefully pulled them back into the cave.
When the invisible pressure disappeared from the webweavers, the webweavers behaved worse than Leo, and they all lay on the ground as if they had broken bones, gasping loudly, and even one of the webweavers could not control their current body, their hands and feet became longer, their heads changed, and they began to transform into spider humanoids.
Although the original form of the weaver was ugly and terrifying to humans, Leo did not care about this strange form, and instead probed the changes in the other person's body through the spirit web and other detection methods.
It's a pity that the other party's disguise is very clever, even if the body returns to its original appearance, but under the exploration of the spiritual network and witchcraft, except for the bones that are different from humans, the form of other organs is not too much beyond the normal form of human organs, and the function should not have changed.
Unable to obtain more of the Webweaver's secrets, Leo stopped wasting time with the Webweaver and turned his attention to the mountains and abysses outside. At this time, the distant evacuation team disappeared at a corner of the mountain path, completely disappearing from Leo's sight.
Compared to Leo and the Webweavers, those ordinary people were very weak, but it was precisely because of their weakness that the psionic energy and aura that emerged from the abyss could not affect them in any way. This is like an ant under a person's feet, even if humans are countless times larger than ants and can easily crush them to death, when facing humans, ants will not have any fear, and will not even perceive the existence of humans.
Leo turned his head to look at the webweaver again, and he found that he was also subjected to the spiritual energy fluctuations and powerful aura of the unknown existence in the abyss, but the webweaver was obviously more affected, and judging from the current situation, it would probably take a long time for the webweaver to fully recover.
Compared to the webweavers, Leo's situation was obviously much better, but in a few minutes, the adverse effects of psionic energy fluctuations and biological breath had disappeared, and he felt that his blood was surging abnormally, and along with the surging blood, there was also an eagerness in his heart that drove him to step out of the cave.
This time, he walked very carefully, and immediately stopped after feeling the spiritual energy fluctuations and the breath of higher creatures, just like just now, he was also suppressed and unable to move, but compared to the panic just now, he was much calmer at the moment, and while trying to adapt to the pressure that fell on his body, he was also observing the subtle changes in his body under this external pressure.
The first reaction is the heart and blood, the external pressure makes the heart not only provoke more favorably, but also faster, the blood in the heart under the strong and powerful squeezing, at a speed several times faster than normal in the blood vessels, and the blood vessels also expand several times, directly making Leo show a hideous appearance of green muscles.
Although Leo looked painful on the outside, he was actually very relaxed, because as the blood surged, a powerful force was generated from the blood that was helping him to counteract the pressure on his body. And not only did the unknown bloodline in his body react, but even the nightmare power in his body began to surge, and even the chaotic stomach pouch also began to produce some changes beyond Leo's expectation under the stimulation of this external force, such as producing a non-spiritual power similar to the power of the bloodline and the power of nightmares.
For a moment, Leo's own psionic energy, the power of the bloodline, the power of nightmares, and the unknown power generated by the chaotic stomach pouch simultaneously operated in a balanced state in his body and soul, like celestial planets, independent of each other, but influencing each other.
At the moment when the two powers from the unknown bloodline and the chaotic stomach were generated, Leo's brain also had some more information about the two powers at the same time.
There is very little information about the power of the bloodline, and these information directly injected into the brain made Leo understand that this bloodline power should be called the power of shadows, and its role is to produce some special effects on the shadow witchcraft created by Leo not long ago, and more importantly, this is not the real power of this unknown bloodline on Leo's body, but the power that is automatically generated after Leo creates the shadow witch.
This also made Leo more interested in the unknown bloodline that he had uncontrollably over, after all, the power of this bloodline was extremely magical to be able to create special powers that perfectly complement the abilities of the bloodline owner.
Compared to the power of the bloodline with deep potential, but uncontrollable, the power generated by the Chaos Stomach is much worse, of course, this difference is only relative, purely from the perspective of the essence of power, the power generated by the Chaos Stomach is higher and more powerful than the power of the shadows.
The power generated by the Chaos Stomach is called the Power of Gluttony, which is not the name that Leo gave himself based on the details of the power effects and other details of the information he obtained, like the Power of Shadows. When information related to this power appears in the brain, the name gluttonous power appears at the front of all information, and this power has only one effect, which is to strengthen the effect of the chaotic stomach pouch, so that the chaotic stomach pouch, which can only absorb ordinary food and ordinary high-energy substances, has the ability to digest more substances, such as the remains of some advanced creatures that could not be digested before, etc.
Although it seems that the ability of this power is very simple and has no effect on improving combat power, in fact, if you think about it carefully, you can feel that the level of this power is very high, and being able to digest the remains of omega-level higher creatures means that it can also digest omega-level higher creatures, which means that the lowest level of this power is also omega-level.
After obtaining information about the power of gluttony, Leo couldn't help but recall the empty subspace he entered when he first obtained the Chaos Stomach Pouch, and thought of how powerful this unknown existence that feeds on omega-level higher beings is, and how powerful this powerful existence will eventually die out, and his heart can't help but feel some inexplicable feelings.
"Uncontrolled emotions! Leo clearly felt the change in his emotions, knowing that this was the result of unknown changes in his body and soul, although he did not alike this unprecedented spiritual experience, but he still had some resistance to this inexplicable emotion, and did not fully adapt to it.
In addition to strengthening the digestive ability of the Chaos Stomach, the power of gluttony also has an invisible effect, that is, it resists the psionic fluctuations and the aura of higher creatures that fall on Leo. Although this resistance cannot completely counteract the adverse reactions caused to him by the existence of the abyss, it can greatly weaken this adverse reaction, coupled with the combined effect of the other three forces, so that he is no longer imprisoned like just now, but can walk like a normal person, but with a little difficulty.
Sensing that the physical changes caused by external pressure had stopped, Leo walked back and forth near the mouth of the cave to make a note, then walked to the edge of the abyss cliff and looked down. Although he had activated his psionic skills, allowing his eyes to be blessed with the power of night vision and farsightedness, he still couldn't see the bottom of the abyss. He didn't know what was at the bottom of the abyss, but he was sure that the unknown being at the bottom of the abyss would not take the initiative to attack, and he even felt that the existence at the bottom of the abyss might be dead.
Retreating from the edge of the cliff into the cavern, the webweavers were almost recovered, and they rose from the ground, and the webweaver had reverted to his human form.
"Ba ...... Torr...... ...... "Before Leo could ask, the webweaver took the initiative to say a name.
"Bartol, the god of eagles?" Leo quickly realized who the webweaver's name belonged to, and confirmed.
The webweaver nodded.
After receiving an affirmative reply, Leo couldn't help but look at the abyss outside the cave again, his face full of shock and doubt.
The Eagle God Bartoll is the oldest deity recorded in the sacred texts compiled by the Orthodox Church, and this one contains all the known gods confirmed by the Orthodox Court, such as the Mother of Mountains, the Mother of Plants, and other ancient gods, and can only be regarded as a descendant in front of the Eagle God Bartol.
Of course, this kind of record of the Orthodox Church cannot be taken entirely seriously, but can only be used as a reference. The reason why the Orthodox Church will compile the canon of the gods in this way is because from some of the ancient ruins that have been found, the archaeologists exclusive to the Orthodox Church have found that the eagle god Batol is the earliest god served by mankind, and the most important point is that the current name of the eagle god Batoar is the Lord of the Sky.
The Church of the Lord of the Sky is now one of the largest churches in the world of Vilon, and when other churches began to decline, the Church of the Lord of the Sky was still able to maintain considerable influence and continue to expand the scope of influence of the Church, because the clergy and devout believers of the Church of the Lord of the Sky would receive a response from the Lord of the Sky when they prayed to the Lord of the Sky, and the divine skills given by the Lord of the Sky to the clergy of the Church were also the most complete.
But now that the Lord of the Sky's main body, the Eagle God Bartol, is in the depths of the Dibia Mountains, and it seems that he has died here, if this news spreads, I am afraid that no one who hears it will believe it.
"Beneath the abyss, the corpse of the Lord of the Sky?" Leo calmed down and confirmed to the Webweaver.
However, the webweaver shook his head, indicating that Leo had guessed wrong, and before Leo could continue to ask, he added, "Ba...... Torr...... You...... Corpse...... Body...... No...... Be...... Sky...... Empty...... It...... Master ......"
"You mean to say that beneath the abyss is the corpse of Bartol, but not the corpse of the Lord of the Sky?" Leo quickly understood what the Webweaver was trying to say.
The webweaver nodded, looking at the abyss beyond the cave with confusion.
Seeing this response, Leo was a little confused and asked, "Aren't the Eagle God and the Sky Lord the same god?"
"Yes...... Also...... No...... It's ......," the webweaver replied.
It's just that his response not only did not solve the doubts in Leo's heart, but made him even more confused.
The webweaver could see that Leo didn't understand what it meant, but he didn't know how to explain it in human language, so he stretched out his finger and clicked on the spider tattoo on the back of Leo's hand, passing his thoughts straight to the past.
