Chapter 422: Abyss Capture
"Then you should understand that it is an extremely dangerous force. Uncontrollable and difficult. Luke patiently persuaded Barbatos as if he were thinking about him.
But Luke's words and actions, in Barbatos's eyes, only made him feel that the abyss was indeed a very powerful force, so strong that Luke was unwilling to hand it over! The inexplicable greed in my heart suddenly rose again.
Get it!
Greed shouted in his brain. The other personality did not oppose him at this moment, as if suppressed by greed, and died down again.
"Leave it to me!" Barbatos's tone carried a kind of eagerness that he did not realize, and he did not even realize that his current intellect and mind were quietly dominated by certain emotions.
"It's your choice!" Luke heard Barbatos' deafening roar, as if helpless, and at Barbatos' urgent request, he reached out and pulled out a piece of hellish parchment burning with black flames from the void.
"Come on, sign a contract." Luke spread out the parchment and handed it to the void in the direction of Barbatos.
The long, stretching out in Luke's hand, about three meters long, fell to Barbatos' hand, not even the size of his fingernail. But this did not prevent Barbatos from understanding the contract in terms of the energy fluctuations on the parchment.
After all, for him, his observations and insights are much deeper than human beings who see is believing.
For example, right now, in the eyes of Bruce and the two of them, it was just an evil parchment, but in his eyes, he could easily understand the energy fluctuations and runes on the unencrypted parchment, and finally knew what kind of role it played.
"Why can't you just give me the abyss, but let me find it?" Barbatos was dissatisfied with the terms of the contract.
"You find it, it's yours." Luke replied crisply. "Once the contract is signed, a door to the abyss will be opened for you. The power of the abyss there, you are willing to devour as much as you want. You can do whatever you want in it. ”
"Then, the contract is established!" Barbatos scrutinized Luke's words, but the greed and restlessness in his heart constantly interfered with his thinking, making him feverishly possessive of the power of the abyss that was close at hand.
He imprinted his seal of power on the contract, which was the equivalent of his soul signature. And the material of this contract also carries his power very well. At the moment when the contract suddenly burned and turned into ashes, Barbatos sensed that an unfamiliar dimension was calling to him.
The call was hazy and vague, like a whisper in the depths of one's mind.
Barbatos knew that at this moment, he was already connected to a dimension that was calling to him and welcoming him. Barbatos could sense that he only needed to unleash his power along that inexplicable connection, and he could easily blast open a passage to that side. This shows that Luke did not deceive him above, did not play any tricks on his heart.
"You're honest." A hideous, sarcastic smile split into Barbatos' mouth, and he bent down, trying to meet Luke below, "I didn't expect you to really trust me and guide me to the dimension of the power of the abyss. A powerful dimension that allows me to escape eventual destruction, and I've always wanted to find a place like this! Too lucky, isn't it? ”
"I can see that you have a turn on your face." Luke easily sensed the thoughts in Barbatos' mind now, and he just calmly looked at Barbatos's condensed face, which represented the dark beastly nature, and said softly.
"We signed a contract! So I can tell you that the Melting Pot of the World is in this world. But where it is, you also need to find it yourself. Barbatos smiled maliciously, and the black thunder that lingered all over his body converged into a beam at that moment, bombarding a certain void in the main hall, and a black void was blasted open by a powerful dark force, forcibly connecting a star from another dimensional world to this world.
An extremely dark, powerful force that condensed like substance came from the other end of the hollow, and the heavy sense of oppression and higher pollution instantly cast a thick shadow on the hearts of everyone on the field.
Bruce even had the kind of disaster that would collapse in the next moment, which made him a little depressed.
This is the second time they have [touched] the abyss, the last time it was just a projection, but this time, it seems like they have to face it head-on.
Stephen didn't even think about it, so he hung a few rune contracts on himself and Bruce, although these created runes could not completely resist the erosion of the abyss power, but they could still be protected for a short time.
Figuratively speaking, it is a fully armed person walking in a protective suit in the radiation zone. As long as the concentration does not exceed the standard, their personal health and safety can be guaranteed for a certain period of time.
And for now, the faint pollution radiated by the power of the abyss can be borne for the time being.
"That's the power! But why is it a little different from what I thought it would be? Barbatos was pleasantly surprised, but immediately realized that something was wrong.
He's coveting the power of the abyss, and that's right. But why can it be sensed from the revealed abyssal energy fluctuations that it covets itself?
Who exactly is the prey? Who is the food?
Why does the abyss have a will? Isn't this the same as another self?
Barbatos forcibly pulls his attention away from the abyss, but he finds it difficult to do. Even though the power radiating from the abyss was small, it seemed to be condensed as substance, firmly locking on him. Barbatos could even feel several slippery and disgusting invisible tentacles in the void, silently surrounding him, snaking up his ankles and body.
He could move, but the inexplicable sense of restraint and heaviness was so clear in his senses.
Under the switched energy vision, Barbatos was horrified to find that his soul was indeed wrapped in cold white tentacles that seemed to have been soaked in the deep sea for a long time, layer upon layer, getting tighter and tighter, like prey wrapped in spider silk.
The dark force represented by Barbatos struggled bravely, and it did play a role in delaying and hindering, but the tentacles of the unknown creatures, although slow, were still tenacious, determined, and bound him little by little.
The dark forces want to break the shackles of the tentacles, and most of them, after a fight, will in turn be swallowed and assimilated by the power represented by the tentacles, and finally the more they struggle, the more entanglement the tentacles will increase simultaneously.
As the tentacles entangled most of his soul, making him lose even the strength to struggle, Barbatos felt a sense of fear like never before. This feeling is so fresh, so unbelievable, once it appears, it goes deep into the soul.
Barbatos felt as if he had made a bad decision in a previous trade.
Before, the connection between him and the abyssal dimension was only if there was nothing, he could sense the coordinates of the other party, but the distance between each other, or the distance between them could not be described as distance. At that time, as long as he didn't take the initiative, this kind of contact was enough to continue safely for a long time. In the case of the contract not being tampered with, at least for hundreds of millions of years, he will not meet the abyss.
But that was only the most desirable result before he didn't open the coordinate channel.
After the coordinate channel was opened, his connection with the abyss instantly upgraded from intermittent to full signal. At present, as there are more and more tentacles wrapped around the soul, the soul is getting heavier and heavier, and the connection signal between the two is simply beyond the standard.
I'm afraid he won't want to get out of the abyss in the future.
Before coming into close contact with the Abyss, Barbatos looked forward to this moment.
After a close encounter with the Abyss, Barbatos hated this moment.
He jumped from a deep pit to an even deeper pit.
And the initiator is the guy who led him to this step by step!
Thinking of that guy, Barbatos controlled his numb body and looked at Luke who looked like an ant below, and now he was so emotionally rich that he could even clearly see the smile on Luke's face that made him extremely annoying.
"Deception!" Barbatos' angry roar exploded like thunder. He felt the tentacles on his soul tighten tighter and tighter, and his body and consciousness became heavier and heavier. His connection with the abyss is getting closer and closer, and he is constantly moving unconsciously in the direction of the abyssal dimension. The open void was being expanded by the efforts of the Abyss Dimension, and it was releasing a huge suction force like a black hole to him.
He is like a star captured by a black hole, and he can only merge with each other step by step.
"How can it be said to be a deception? I just reminded you of the existence of the Abyss. It was you who took the initiative to ask me for the power of the abyss. I kindly reminded you that the abyss is dangerous. Luke spread his hands and shook off the responsibility and the pot: "I gave you a choice, but your persistence moved me!" ”
Barbatos almost didn't blow up when he heard Luke's words. Who gave him those messy emotions and interfered with his judgment? Although there is no evidence to prove that Luke did this, Barbatos, who is now a mess of his soul is also tossed, locked in the first place and determined the culprit.
But he doesn't care about arguing with Luke now, he is being swallowed up by the abyss dimension little by little. It was literally, the hollow suction that distorted Barbatos' body and soul, swallowing him into his body little by little.
Bruce watched as Barbatos's huge body was drawn into abstract strips, drowning little by little into the living void, with solemn faces.
Time seemed like a long time had passed, and by the time Bruce and the others woke up from the impactful scene, the void had been forcibly closed and erased by Luke.
It was only at that last moment that Bruce seemed to hear some kind of satisfaction after a full stomach.
Without Barbatos' tall body, the entire hall instantly became much empty. Stephen didn't remove the protective runes from them, and reinvigorated them again. The Abyss Dimension has left, but the power that has overflowed before may not all have left with it. The essence of the power of the abyss is mystery, devouring and expanding, and it is not surprising that this area will be much richer in billions of years.
The trio hurried in Luke's direction, and as they approached him, Bruce asked.
"Is he dead?"
"How could he die?" Luke glanced back at Bruce, and it was clear who they were talking about.
"Hasn't he been swallowed up by the abyss?" Bruce's heart tightened. After all, Barbatos, as the mastermind behind them as the Laughing Bat, is known as the dark and destructive dragon who has destroyed many universes, once he reappears, Luke may have no problem, but they who came with Luke are afraid that they will be targeted by Barbatos. What is Barbatos' weakness? Do you want to prepare early?
"Being swallowed up and assimilated by the abyss does not mean death as you perceive it." When Luke's goal is about to be achieved, he doesn't mind telling Bruce some secrets.
"The Abyss is no different from other energy dimensions, except that it is more extreme, more like a living thing. But it is also forged by its energetic properties. If there is life in other dimensions, it will naturally have it.
Barbatos, as the dark and destructive dragon of the universe, although his energy personality is not as high as the abyssal dimension, it will not be instantly digested and swallowed by the abyss. It was supposed to be a long tug-of-war. ”
"That ......"
"Are you trying to ask if he can still get out of the abyss?"
As soon as Bruce opened his mouth, Luke had an insight into what he wanted to say and took the initiative to ask. Seeing Bruce nodding, Luke patiently explained: "If there is no accident, it is almost impossible to be released if it is swallowed by the abyss without [digesting] clean life." Even if it were me, I could only summon the life that had been transformed into the abyss. It has a will of its own!
If you are lucky enough to meet him in the future, he will not be Barbatos, the symbol of darkness and destruction, but Barbatos, the dragon of the abyss. I don't recommend that you meet him again, although he may not remember you at that time, but with his size, he was transformed into an abyssal species, and once it appeared, all the universes that saw it and the universe he was in would inevitably be quickly polluted and captured by the abyss. You and your buddies won't even have a chance to fight to the death. ”
"Abyssal species don't usually appear in the outside world, and Luke has locked it. I can't imagine anyone other than Luke and my teacher being able to summon Barbatos, who has transformed into an abyssal dragon, from the abyss. Stephen comforted the two.
He has dealt with the abyss a lot, but it is nothing more than borrowing the shallow power at the edge of the abyss. Except for the disgusting and the utterly destroyed, who will pull those abyssal species out of the abyss? They have long been distorted to the point where they can't see what they were, and at first glance they are an extreme soul pollution. At that time, even if Barbatos does reappear, then Bruce will need to be doubtful whether they recognize it.
