Chapter 217: Shadow of the Abyss
The two brothers returned to Asgard with a bill and a modified [High-Dimensional Space Core] with the help of Luke's Rainbow Bridge. Let's not talk about Odin's emotions after seeing the bill. Luke has a relatively important matter to attend to.
……
The Dark Warrior snapped his eyes open, and he was greeted by an enormously black darkness. His eyes seemed to be covered with a black scarf, and he lost the ability to see. The Dark Warrior, however, could feel that his eyes were intact.
He floated in a deep void, unable to see, and there was silence around him, and there was not a single ray of light.
The perimeter is the deepest darkness.
This is the favorite world of the Dark Elves.
It is also the world that Malekith most wants to change.
However, the dark warrior did not feel the peace and joy that should have been felt from this darkness, and the sixth sense was faintly alerting him, as if there was some unknown danger hidden in this darkness.
The Dark Warrior pondered why he had come to this dark place.
It's a door!
The Colossus of Darkness opened a door that led to nowhere, and the door drew him in. After he was engulfed by the door, he had lost consciousness in an instant.
The dark armor on his body is still there, and the remaining aether energy in his body also adds some security to the dark warrior. Even though he was still covered in wounds. He tried to contact his king, but the messenger that the king had given him when he left gave him a special communicator gave him quit in the dark. No matter how much aether energy the Dark Warrior injected, using the aether energy to power this communicator did not respond in the slightest.
The machine is working hard, trying to send messages, but it just can't connect to the other end. It's like losing the signal. The almost omnipotent aetheric energy has lost its omnipotent nature in this strange space and has been reduced to mere energy.
Unable to contact his own king, the dark warrior could only slowly think of a way to find out what kind of place he was in after stabilizing his emotions.
Universe?
Not.
Dark warriors do not need oxygen, etc., and can move and fight in a pure universe. So he could tell better that this was not the universe, even though it was similar in many places.
Based on the knowledge and experience he has accumulated over thousands of years of survival, he believes that this place should be like a dimension. As for how big the dimension is, whether it is space or world, or dimensional universe, he can't be sure at this moment.
He needed to see more.
Ordinary beings can't tolerate the dark world, but the dark elves can adapt quickly. So the darkness is not a problem for the Dark Warrior, it is the kind of threat that pervades the body all the time.
There were faint whispers of voices in his ears, and they were so small, so soft, so small that he couldn't hear what was being said. As he listened intently, the voices seemed to be louder, but he still couldn't make out what they were saying, and he couldn't tell where they were coming from. It is not even possible to determine whether the sounds are living beings talking, or if they are a group of bug-like creatures crawling and walking.
The sense of crisis is even heavier.
The floating Dark Warrior once again squeezed out the little aether energy left in his body, and opened the dark vision of the Dark Elves with the help of the Dark Warframe. It allows the dark elves to be at home in the dark, and at the same time they can get in touch with the darkness, but also see more things that they can't see or hear with conventional vision.
The image is described as the use of scientific and technological instruments by human beings to observe the world that cannot be seen by the naked eye.
The energy melted into the eyes, and the dark warrior's vision suddenly changed, and under the new vision, the deep darkness around him, like a black mist, gradually thinned, revealing something beyond the darkness.
Suddenly, the perception of the dark warrior frantically alarmed him, and the alarm bell sounded in his mind, and his whole body tensed. His eyes widened as he looked at what appeared in front of him.
So what does one say?
It's quite distorted and impressive, and it's impossible to forget it at first glance, but there's no way to describe how it feels in any words. The Dark Warrior felt that his spirit had been corrupted by some kind of pollution. The appearance of the other party was deeply imprinted in his mind. It's just indescribable, and it doesn't matter to the Dark Warrior. But what if there is some kind of erosion and impact attached to it?
The whispers grew louder and louder, and the Dark Warrior still couldn't hear the contents, but he felt as if his head was being disturbed by a violent sound, and his head hurt like a needle.
The Dark Warrior disconnects new horizons before he loses control.
The indescribable monster, and the whispering around it, disappeared and lowered. He gasped heavily, and there was a feeling in his heart that he would be left behind.
He was sensitive to the fact that part of his mind had been tampered with, along with his body. Some kind of secret change is taking place in his mind and body, and he wants to stop it, but he can't stop it.
He tried his best not to think about what he saw in his new vision, but his mind continued to think uncontrollably. Every time he thought about it, he felt that his soul consciousness was getting closer to some bottomless abyss.
He had realized where the sense of crisis he had always had in his heart came from.
It's from the surroundings, from the whispers, from the monsters that are deeply integrated with this space, like some organ or even flesh and blood in this dimension!
It is filled with some kind of powerful, domineering, polluting high-dimensional energy that can even disable the aetheric energy, or rather, the other energies.
No, after experiencing a little bit of the power of this energy, the Dark Warrior faintly realized that it was not that other high-dimensional energy was invalidated, but that this highly polluting energy polluted other high-dimensional energy, and it was adapted and fused!
The dark warriors who had participated in many battles with Malekith suddenly felt a little fear from the bottom of his heart for some reason. The last time this feeling appeared to him was a long time ago. He had even forgotten about this emotion, and even the incomparably tenacious he thought that it would never happen to him again. But now, suddenly, unpreparedly, he experienced this forgotten emotion.
Not only fear, but also despair, sadness, pain, all kinds of negative emotions are like a tidal wave, crazy surges, wave after wave of relay engulfs his consciousness.
In the face of this surging flood of emotions, the tenacity of his will quickly decreased, collapsed, and his mind was on the verge of crumbling as the sound of whispering became louder and louder again.
He can clearly perceive that his current state is wrong, and he also tried his best to save himself, but his self-help did not help, but made the negative emotions that emerged more obvious.
He sensed that if he was really completely distracted and polluted by the negative emotions here, then he would probably have to stay here forever and become a slave to the captives of this dimension. He still has the strength to support and resist, but he doesn't know how long he can hold out. If there are no accidents, he already has a premonition of the future he will face sooner or later.
Corrupted and transformed, reduced to a puppet and slave of the dimension. Even a sober will may be difficult to maintain.
……
"No matter how many times you perceive it, this dimension is awe-inspiring." Gu Yi sighed as he looked at the dark warrior who was gradually assimilated in the dimension, revealing the imprint of being eroded by energy.
"After all, it's a garbage dump that can hold everything." Luke, who appeared, took the words of the Ancient One.
"That's the only way you can say that." The Ancient One mage's gaze moved away from the dimension with a little complexity, and landed on Luke, saying, "You are its creator, and it was born because of you. ”
"You have some ownership of it, too." Luke corrected. "I don't have it alone."
"But who would dare to approach it at will? Mephisto? Although the Hell dimension is a terrifying dimension with a fairly high energy level, I always feel that in the future, the horror and danger of your dimension will be above the Hell dimension. "It is precisely because the Ancient One has the corresponding authority that he can perceive the horror of the future development of this dimension. That could be a catastrophic dimension of destruction.
"It's just a garbage dump." Luke stood by his guns. "All the scum that can't be recycled after being filtered by emotional energy is piled up here. As one of the masters of psychic energy, you should understand that the disposal of those scum is more difficult than that of human beings to deal with nuclear waste and pollution. Even to a certain extent, they can be filtered out from the moment they are born, but they cannot be completely erased. In other words, when the emotional energy is just produced, because of the problem of the number of shares, we don't need to worry about the disposal of the filter residue, anyway, no matter which dimension or space it is thrown into, that amount will not affect anything. But with the abundance of emotional energy, we always have to find a place to store the filtered dregs. ”
"I understand." The Ancient One mage nodded, "I'm just lamenting its purity and troublesomeness. ”
Although Luke kept saying that these were filtered residues, both Luke himself and the Ancient One knew that the so-called residues were not inferior in energy to the pure energy after being filtered, and even better in terms of difficulty. They weren't so-called residues at all, just energies that couldn't be absorbed and harnessed by most mages.
It was the Ancient One, who was the Supreme Mage, and she was also a little grateful and insensitive in the face of the dimensional energy that was now used by Luke to deal with the accumulated filter residue and already had a small scale.
Because Luke's technology has purified and filtered energy to the extreme, not only his own filtration technology, but also the energy filtration and conversion technology provided by the Supreme Mage, in short, the energy [residue] that can be thrown into this dimension is the residue of the current technology and ability that has reached the limit. Even if the ancient one extracted this kind of energy and used it, it could not be converted in any sense, they were pure negative energy to the extreme. Even darker than the energy of dark power demon gods such as Dormammu and Sithorne. At least their dimensional energy, the ancient one can carry out various energy transformations after a certain consumption, but Luke's dimension, unless it is a last resort, she doesn't even have the slightest intention to use it.
Unable to transform and change their form, that means that they cannot erase their high pollution and high danger, and once used, it is destined to be a lose-lose trouble. In particular, the cleaning up at the back, as well as the energy required to clean up the beginning and the end, are even more numb. At least this kind of pollution so far, the ancient one can't do anything about it. The only thing she could do was to use it and take back as much of the energy residue as possible and throw it into other dimensions or dimensions. But this is only a palliative, not a cure. With just a little bit of residue, this energy can be revived. And once it is useful, it means that there will inevitably be a residue. At that time, as long as there is a little bit of fire, it must be regularly tested and processed.
"As long as no one releases them, they're safe." Luke comforted the Ancient One. As for whether this statement is credible? Luke himself can't guarantee it. Of course, the Ancient One Mage wouldn't believe it either.
"They will always change qualitatively, and when the time comes, I am afraid that it will not only be the fall of life, but also the cancer of the universe. But when the time comes, that's probably something you'll need to think about. "Gu Yi is quite open-minded, anyway, she had already had the intention of retiring, and it was only because of the appearance of emotional energy that she stood on one more shift, but when Strange grew up completely, she was afraid that she would still retire according to her original ideas.
"Maybe I'll already have new techniques and methods. There is no need to worry about it at the moment, at least, it is now very qualified as a prison in addition to being a garbage dump. No matter what kind of prisoner is thrown into it, it will be tainted and assimilated by it, and become an inseparable part of it. Luke shrugged and wasn't worried about the future.
"What do you want it to be called?" The Ancient One Mage was already planning to leave, but she only found this dimension by the appearance of the Dark Gate. Of course, it's also because Luke didn't hide it from her. Therefore, the Ancient One Mage followed the power of the same origin to find it without any obstacles.
"Abyss." Luke said: "While staring into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you. This is too much in line with the energy characteristics of this dimension. ”
The Ancient One opened the portal and waved goodbye to Luke.
