Chapter 51: The Cause of the Outbreak
The change in climate did not stop the trio.
Thor followed Klee to the Great Rift.
This is where most of the bone monsters are spawned. Coupled with several aboriginal forces controlled by Noah, there are now more and more bone monsters under their control.
Next to the Great Rift, Klee and a few wizards and hundreds of natives have built a massive experimental base. Inside the base stand rows of white skeletons, of all shapes and sizes, mostly in animal form, and occasionally some monsters that have never even appeared in the wizarding world.
"It's all the first stage of the transformation of the bones. The second and third phases are remodeled on the basis of the first phase. In addition to higher strength and greater stability, there are also breakthroughs in two different directions. It's just that Klee and I weren't sure which direction was better. Please come and have a look. ”
Brando spoke cautiously, obviously not recovering from Thor's fourth-order shock, and his tone drifted widely.
"What are the two directions?" Thor asked as he walked.
"Kree has weakened the Bone Monster's combat power and increased the number of controls she can control. I'm leaning towards increasing the intensity and taking an elite approach. ”
The two men studied two directions, and it's no wonder that they hesitated.
Of course, Thor can also choose to carry out a certain number of modifications in both directions, but it is also necessary to decide which is more important. The army of bones here will be an important boost for the Red Worms. It is also impossible to pat your head and think directly about the research direction.
Saul followed Klee and Brando, respectively, to learn about their renovation plans.
However, after reading it, he also felt that there were pros and cons, and he couldn't decide immediately.
"So you can continue your research first, keeping the strengths as much as possible and reducing the shortcomings. I'll go over there first. ”
The other side that Thor was talking about was the other world at the bottom of the Great Rift.
Thor had previously suspected that this chaotic domain was the continent of Dusedir that had been swallowed by the Eye of the Abyss. And beyond the diaphragm of the continent is somewhere in the eye of the abyss. This makes Thor suspect that this diaphragm is like the "stomach" of the Eye of the Abyss.
Thinking about it this way, the Eye of the Abyss has devoured the Desserdir Continent for so many years, and it has not yet "digested" the continent, and it has also rejuvenated the continent here, forming a new ecosystem.
So is the eye of the abyss already ...... Indigestion?
Mentor Gorsa says that the Eye of the Abyss is a corpse.
Can corpses still eat?
Naturally, I can't digest it.
The attrition of the Chaos Domain can be seen as the destruction caused by the devouring of the Desedil Continent. However, no matter how much it can't be digested, it will be a catastrophe for the living beings on the mainland.
The population of the Chaos Domain is certainly less than one percent of what it used to be. The current scale has only slowly developed after it has become a chaotic domain.
Thor jumped down the Great Rift and fell to the lowest end, finding the gap again and probing his fate line through.
Now that he is already the strength of a fourth-order wizard, coupled with the continuous nourishment of the symphony of fate, he usually does not need to meditate and practice, and his spiritual power is constantly growing. His ontological fate line is also expanding. It's now able to cover a small town.
This time, as soon as Thor's fate line entered the abyss, he found that his vision was much clearer than last time.
Overhead, there was still a starry sky, and this time I could see the light source of each star. Thor also distinguished that the starry sky here is different from the starry sky outside the wizarding world.
If this is the inner world of the Abyss Eye, the starry sky outside is certainly not real. But even if it's not a real universe, it could be other planets swallowed up by the abyss.
After all, a sixth-order wizard already has the ability to destroy a world. Even if he is now a corpse, it still poses a mortal threat to the world here in Thor.
And the threat is that in a few more years, it will be the real end.
Thor looked down, scanning the world around him.
It's a bit like the surface of the moon, the ground is covered with impact marks, and the surrounding area is covered in ash, with no sign of life in sight.
As far as Thor could see, there were already tens of thousands of white skeleton corpses lying on the ground. Many of the bodies were mutilated and did not appear to show any signs of movement.
But Thor knew that these corpses were actually the anchors that the wizarding world feared. The white bones located on the outside of the "stomach" seem to be extremely polluting to low-level existences because they are contaminated with the breath of the sixth order.
They are only honest here, and when they go outside, they will become killing gods.
Thor once encountered an anchor in the Far North that suddenly appeared in the wizarding world. Without the outbreak of the eye of the storm, it suddenly appeared, and when it left, it also left through a bizarre spatial rift.
This was the precursor to the imminent complete explosion of the Eye of the Abyss.
"You're here again?"
A white human skeleton appeared behind Thor.
It's Camus.
Thor has so far found the only anchor point with which he can actively communicate.
"Are you already planning to surrender to the abyss? I can guarantee that after you have been swallowed by the abyss, you will still maintain your sanity, and you can even continue to try to advance here. ”
Instead of immediately refusing this time, Thor tentatively asked, "Is the abyss about to erupt?" ”
The skeleton paused, transmitting the next piece of information.
"You want to test me?" The skeleton shook its head slightly, trembling, as if it was about to fall, "There is no need. You can see everything, but you can't stop anything. ”
Although Thor heard only messages, not voices, he could already feel the contempt and pride in Camus's tone.
Then, Camus raised a hand and swiped it behind him, "Let you see, let you die." ”
After Camus raised his hand, the bones that had been lying quietly around him suddenly began to tremble one by one, as if consciousness had returned, or he had raised his arms or straightened his body, and stood up staggeringly.
One skeleton has stood up, thousands of bones have stood up.
Like the undulating waves of the sea, spreading out in all directions, endlessly.
"Who the hell are you? You can't be a Camus wizard. ”
Such a move is no longer something that a wizard who has strayed into the abyss can do.
The skeleton in front of him did not answer Thor's question, "It doesn't matter, soon, you will all be part of the abyss and will no longer need separate identities." ”
"Do you mean, the abyss will soon engulf the entire wizarding world?"
"It's inevitable."
"You, are you the consciousness of the abyss?"
"If you want to think so, it's fine." The bones didn't give Thor the slightest chance to be tempted.
"Then can I ask, Abyss, why on earth is it devouring the wizarding world?"
All along, the Great Demon King seemed destined to destroy the world. But apart from the unconscious erosion and expansion, there should be a specific reason for everything else.
Is it a need for living space, or is there a blood feud, or is it for greater authority?
The skeleton in front of him was clearly conscious, not absolutely insane. Then his purpose should be corresponding to the initial desire.
Thor wanted to know why.
This is a matter of confrontation measures that he should adopt in the future.
But the other party still doesn't plan to reveal any information to Thor.
"Heh, do you humans have any purpose when you trample on ants?"
Thor slowly retracted, "If you don't say anything, I won't join you without the slightest sincerity." ”
This time the skeleton didn't taunt again, he just watched quietly as Thor left.
Back above the Great Rift, Ann was waiting for him at the edge of the Rift.
"Master, it's good that you come back safely, but are there any new problems?" Ann noticed that Thor's face was not very good, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
Unexpectedly, Thor showed a smile in the next second.
"It's okay, Ann, I'm sure of what I'm thinking."
Camus wouldn't say anything, but his attitude spoke for itself. They have no other desire, which is to devour the wizarding world. But the abyss is already a corpse, what desire can a corpse have? ”
Thor looked at Ann, but Ann didn't dare to interject because of the word abyss.
But Saul took the initiative to inform the answer.
"Of course he wants to be resurrected!"
