Chapter 977 Falling into the Abyss

Gavin didn't know that his sudden disappearance had caused a chain reaction in the East Region and the territory.

He only felt that he was in a vortex - a vortex formed by the teleportation power.

There were several completely different forces tearing at him.

There was the power of the Gate of Hell summoned by Yamen Khan earlier.

There was also the power of the Dragon Oak Teleportation Portal that he was trying to maintain.

There was also an unknown force full of chaos and evil pulling at him, and this force seemed to come directly from the inside of his body.

Under the tearing of these completely different teleportation forces, Gavin felt that his soul and body were about to be torn apart.

But his soul consciousness and body were more stable than he had imagined, and no matter how they were torn, there was no sign of collapse.

In the turbulent flow of teleportation, Gavin completely lost the concept of time.

It seemed like a moment had passed, and it seemed like an extremely long century had passed, because he had no accurate reference, and the dwarf pocket watch had stopped working since entering here.

In the end, it was neither the power of the Gate of Hell nor Gavin's Dragon Oak Teleportation Portal that won the victory in this unique battle.

It was the unknown chaotic force.

This teleportation experience was particularly special, Gavin seemed to be pulled out bit by bit.

After being freed from the turbulent flow of teleportation, Gavin's first thing was to let the road power flow through his body, not letting go of every bit.

He wanted to find the remaining consciousness of Yamen Khan, the initiator of this incident.

After running for several weeks, he did not find anything unusual, as if he had exhausted the last drop of power in the previous teleportation and completely died.

Even the power of killing was exhausted, leaving only the killing godhood powder that had been integrated into his body, which could not be peeled off for a while.

While Gavin breathed a sigh of relief, he did not relax his vigilance, but was ready to find a way to conduct more intensive detection and cleaning again in the future.

Anything involving divine power is no small matter.

Especially killing, this kind of priesthood that tends to be conceptual is more troublesome.

Not only because this kind of priesthood is linked to consciousness and is more difficult to guard against, but also because there is never a lack of conflict and killing in this world.

Although Gavin has always been adhering to the path of peaceful development and win-win cooperation, not everyone agrees with it.

If you want to develop, you will inevitably have conflicts with others, or even wars.

This is all linked to killing and murder.

They will echo the killing demigod seeds that have been integrated into their bodies, and then let them take root and sprout in their bodies until they bloom and bear fruit.

In this process, it is unknown whether the will consciousness of Yamen Khan and Bal will revive and compete with themselves for the priesthood and body dominance.

Anyway, from the history of Faerun, the situation of all the gods who inherited the ready-made priesthood and godhood is not very optimistic. Even for the kind-hearted gods such as the goddess of magic, the part of the successor's personality and humanity is rapidly melting, and they are seriously homogenized with their predecessors.

Not to mention those evil gods, most of them are reborn in shells.

Unless Gavin is like those enlightened monks, hiding in the mountains and forests and never coming out again.

Let's not talk about whether this method is realistic or not. Even if he wants to, the current situation does not allow it. Looking around, what he sees is a world made of bones.

Animal bones, human bones, monster bones, giant bones... All kinds of bones are scattered on a vast and boundless plain.

There are all kinds of familiar ones, and some that have never been seen before.

These bones are either buried in the snow-white land, or piled up incompletely.

The powerful perception gives Gavin super insight. Just by looking from a distance, he noticed that the soil is different.

That is not ordinary soil at all. It is clearly bone powder broken after highly calcified bones.

Even the sky is abnormal. There is no sun, but the surroundings are not dim. There is a pale light, just like calcified bones.

"Am I now in the ruins of a battlefield?"

This is Gavin's first guess. Only in this way can the situation of bones everywhere be explained.

This guess lasted less than a second before it was rejected by the scene in front of him.

Not far away, a white and complete skeleton began to emerge from nothing.

This does not conform to the laws of physics, at least not in the material plane, and even magic cannot explain it clearly.

But in another world, it can be explained clearly-hell.

If the inner plane is the original matter and energy that constitutes the multiverse, then the outer plane is the direction, thought and purpose of this structure.

In layman's terms, the outer plane can be regarded as a sacred plane, a spiritual plane or a divine plane, because the outer plane is the home of the gods, or in other words, their kingdom of God is located there.

The gods can also live in other places, but only in the outer plane, in their own kingdom of God, are they the most powerful.

According to the nature of divine power, the outer plane is divided into the upper plane and the lower plane.

The upper plane is the condensation of many bright beliefs such as kindness, beauty, and joy, and the final destination of kind souls. It is represented by heaven and paradise.

The lower planes were created by negative thoughts such as selfishness, evil, and jealousy. They are prisons for evil souls. The most famous ones are the Nine Hells and the Endless Abyss, but they are not all. There are also the Shura Field, the Scorching Hell, and so on.

If the physical laws of the material plane are applied here, it will be difficult to move forward. Many things cannot be explained at all, such as the appearance of bones out of thin air like now.

But if this matter is placed in the macroscopic multiverse perspective, it can be explained.

There is one more skeleton here, which means that there is one less skeleton in other planes, especially the material plane.

Of course, this skeleton is definitely not disappearing out of thin air, but something related to this plane has happened.

For example, it was used as a sacrifice, such as being swallowed and digested by the unique monsters produced by this evil plane, or they were directly transformed into undead by evil undead, and then repelled and sent away by the priest.

Whether it is sacrifice or repelled and sent away, it is a matter of course that sacrificial objects or undead disappear out of thin air in the material plane.

But many people have not considered their final destination-the abyss or hell.

No, no, this should not be hell.

It was not the power of hell that pulled me out of the teleportation vortex before.

The breath is wrong.

Although the power of hell is evil, it is generally lawful.

But the overall feeling Gavin gets here is chaos and madness, and there is also a strong sense of malice.

This is also a benefit of high perception, which makes it easier for him to tune in with the surrounding environment.

In the words of druids, it is easier to integrate into nature.

In the words of priests, it is easier to establish connections with gods and perceive their oracles.

In Gavin's view, this is more like establishing a connection with the power of law.

Another terrifying place with this attribute is the bottomless abyss.

The abyss and hell, like demons and devils, are inseparable and often mentioned in parallel, and sometimes even directly confused.

In the final analysis, it is their exemplary role in evil.

Demons and devils have long become synonymous with evil.

The biggest difference between the two is that they represent the two ultimate directions of evil.

Demons and the bottomless abyss they live in represent the ultimate chaotic evil. They do not need a reason, and everything is done spontaneously. Just for entertainment, they can kill without restraint, whether it is the enemy or their own people.

Demons and the nine layers of hell where they live are symbols of orderly evil. They have strict class hierarchy, even long-term plans, and the spirit of contract that demons do not have. They will abide by the contracts they sign.

It is precisely because of this that the demons have done a lot of work on the contract, in order to leave various loopholes on it for them to drill. They will not abide by those who can not abide by it, and will tear it up if they can.

Don't forget that the nature of the demons is also evil.

Over time, the demon contract has become synonymous with dishonesty.

In fact, it is not the case. The demons are trustworthy, but most of the signatories have been played from the beginning.

There are also many people like Gavin who play the demons in the palm of their hands through the contract.

As he thought deeply, Gavin became more and more certain of his speculation.

A bolder guess came to his mind. He should be in the Bone Plain of the Abyss.

The reason was the Death Patroller that he had absorbed and purified.

It contained the essence of this plane. Although the dross had been removed and the essence was left, it still allowed him to establish a magical connection with this plane.

Under normal circumstances, this connection would not affect his own teleportation.

But the problem was that he was in an abnormal situation before. In the turbulent flow of teleportation, the power of the Abyss took the opportunity to get involved and dragged himself in.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

The crisp noises around interrupted Gavin's thoughts.

Many skeletons lit up with green light and stood up shakily.

They turned their bodies to the direction where Gavin was. A pair of green eyes, like burning ghost fire, stared at him tightly, without any emotion, only endless coldness.

Many skeletons were not just skeletons, but undead - skeleton soldiers.

The number was extremely astonishing. Wherever Gavin could see, they were densely packed.

After getting up from the ground, these undead spirits staggered towards Gavin.

Obviously, they were attracted by the smell of flesh and blood on his body.

For the undead, this was the smell they hated the most. As long as they touched it, they would get rid of it as soon as possible.

"A bunch of inferior cannon fodder dared to act wildly against me." Gavin's eyes condensed, and the blue light bloomed.

The fire element gathered around him at a terrifying speed, and in a few seconds, it turned into a bowl-sized fireball.

Psionic fireball.

As the name suggests, it is a fireball spell cast with psychic power. The power is equivalent to that of fireball, but it is affected by the psychic profession level, not the caster.

For Gavin, who is an orc, this is no difference.

As the orc profession level increases.

Gavin found that the boundary between spells and psychic power is not that big, and many things can be interconnected.

Spells can have psychic versions.

Psychic can also be cast through spells.

The premise is that you have enough ability to fully understand both.

You can disassemble psychic and build it up in the form of a spell model, and vice versa.

And this will be the true path of the Orcist in the future.

The two spellcasting systems are integrated with each other, taking advantage of each other's strengths and weaknesses, and exerting their power to the extreme.

The advantage of psychic power is obvious. It completely relies on the psychic points converted from the psychic power of the psychic to cast spells. It does not require gestures, additional casting materials, or restrictions on spell slots.

As long as there are enough psychic points, you can turn yourself into a spell turret and cast spells at will and continuously.

Take the psychic fireball spell for example. Gavin only needs six points to cast the lowest level each time, and the highest level is only sixteen points (the power will be improved). He now has as many as four hundred psychic points, and he can throw at least dozens of them in one breath.

Of course, this is just a metaphor. It is very wasteful to use it this way. A fireball wand can achieve a similar effect.

The disadvantage is that the study of psychic power is very difficult. After all, it involves the shaping of the mind. If you are not careful, it will cause a serious impact on your mind.

Even the profession that is best at psychic power is called a psychic warlock, not a psychic mage.

This is because they are like warlocks, and the selection of psychic power is relatively narrow, and it is very difficult to learn and study.

And this is exactly what the mage is best at.

They can use theoretical models to repeatedly study the stability and feasibility of a spell, and then put it into practice after the success rate is maximized.

Safety will be greatly improved.

Gavin has positioned his career as an arcane master.

Mages will tend to be research-oriented, mainly conducting various spell research, and then transforming those that are beneficial to actual combat into psychic powers.

Combat is mainly based on psychic powers, and spells are supplemented.

This psychic fireball is the result of the assistance of the legendary arcane master Flancinni.

It's just that he doesn't need to do it at ordinary times, and once he does it, it must be a high-end game, and there are few opportunities to cast this spell.

After the psychic fireball was condensed, Gavin hesitated to take action.

Because he suddenly thought of the problem of killing the seeds of the demigods, this fireball would probably collect a lot of killing power for himself.

And this behavior pattern of going into rage and preparing to kill at the slightest provocation is extremely inconsistent with his temperament.

This must be the killing godhood at work in his body.

It seems that to fight against the Godhead of Killing, we must start from daily life. If we can achieve the goal through other means, we will never kill easily.

Thinking of this, Gavin decisively canceled the psychic fireball spell, turned over the will of the cloak Anka, and the shadow power surged, directly wrapping the whole person up, but he did not enter the invisible state, because the shadow spell could not take effect.

This also proved in disguise that he is not in the material plane now.

The shadow plane belongs to the shadow of the material plane. The outer plane does not have its own shadow plane, and the surrounding is not wrapped by the etheric plane, or in other words, they themselves are formed in the etheric plane.

But the skeleton soldiers seemed to be unable to see Gavin, and immediately became aimless, either wandering around, or turning into skeletons again.

Although these skeleton soldiers seem to have eyes, their visual system is still very different from that of living things.

They rely not on seeing, but on the perception of the soul fire.

It is precisely because of this unique perception system that they are particularly sensitive to flesh and blood, and it is difficult to avoid their pursuit by conventional means of avoiding sight.

At least blocking the view or hiding in rooms and cabinets is not useful for them, and will only put themselves in a desperate situation.

But if they use the power of shadow to wrap themselves up like Gavin and cover up the breath of living people on themselves, even if they do not regard him as their own kind, they will regard him as a dead thing without life, and naturally will not attack him again.

This method is only effective for undead without wisdom such as skeleton soldiers and zombies.

For intelligent undead, or skeleton soldiers commanded by necromancers or intelligent undead, this trick is ineffective.

After temporarily relieving the battle crisis, Gavin began to observe his own state and find a way to go home.

Dragon Oak Teleportation cannot be used.

Tower of Domination Teleportation cannot be used.

Conventional teleportation is not disabled, but it is limited to the current plane, and there is no way to bring Gavin back to Faerun.

Although this situation was expected, Gavin still couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.

Whether it is teleportation or advanced teleportation, it can only be limited to teleportation within the same plane, and Dragon Oak Teleportation and Tower of Domination Teleportation are no exception.

In Faerun, there is no spell for inter-plane teleportation. If you want to go to other planes, you can only go through the inter-plane portal or find the corresponding portal in the transparent world (shadow plane, ether plane and astral plane).

If it is really as Gavin guessed, he is now in the Abyss. It is even more troublesome to go back. The method of traveling through the astral plane is not feasible. You can only leave through the fixed inter-plane portal.

Because the Abyss itself is a super prison for imprisoning those evil souls, the gods have added many restrictions here to prevent demons from pouring into other planes on a large scale and causing devastating blows and damage there.

Even if the evil forces in the material plane summoned the demon army from here, just like the troll kingdom in the Giant Plains, in addition to paying a huge price (usually a large-scale soul sacrifice, souls are the hard currency here), the summoning is usually temporary.

The soul origin of the demon army summoned to the material plane is still imprisoned in the Abyss.

This characteristic makes it impossible for the summoned demons to be completely killed.

Once they die in the material plane, their souls will be sucked back into the Abyss and reborn there.

And this characteristic also determines that the spells that summon demons usually have a time limit.

As long as the duration is up, they will be forcibly sent back to the Abyss.

In order to prevent the cunning and evil demons from taking advantage of loopholes, they can only adopt a one-size-fits-all model. All creatures that enter the Abyss, whether they are demons or not, will be subject to this restriction, and Gavin is no exception. (End of this chapter)
