Chapter 1236: Half Prayer, Inside the Ruins, White Swan Knight

The world becomes distorted, and the boundary between fantasy and reality is broken by hallucinogenic spores.

The Abyss Singer felt an itch in his brain, as if mycelium and spores were growing and multiplying in his head, bringing with them countless mutterings.

Information was flowing, words and spells stretched out their hands and feet, grabbing his thoughts.

Tear his sanity to pieces.

It was like sinking into an abyss, and the mind was connected to the memories of the ancient earth. The dark and damp humus layer hid the nightmare of the entire forest. The tree roots that crawled like tentacles gave rise to countless turbid bubbles. The ground became soft, and the abyss turned into a deep sea.

Just like the changes of time, the earth is fleeting, and the flood that dissolves everything is like a punishment from God.

The world is dark.

Everything is heading towards death. The fate of all living things is impermanent and tragic.

The fire of civilization has never illuminated the deep sea and the stars.

The deep-sea nightmare that settled down was even more bizarre, chaotic, and twisted than the dream of death in the humus layer. It was like a slippery, scaleless, pitch-black giant snake, devouring his consciousness bit by bit.

Then, he saw the gorgeous stars, just like seeing the truth of the world. The deep sea reflected the universe and swallowed the starry sky.

A huge shadow grew from the sea, spreading its wings to cover the sky and the sun, obscuring the azure moon and the colorful temple in the sky, and the ominous purple blood moon and the giant trees in the deep sea.

He got it!

Luwu...

The supreme prayer that circulates among the upper echelons of the Abyss Cult and is known only to the Abyss Chanters came to mind.

"A shadow from beyond the stars, traveling through unfulfilled dreams and illusions of consciousness."

"The sun-blocking dragon of the elements of filth and decay, the son of the dark universe."

"Space dissolves before you, everything comes to an end before you, the world has no inner or outer boundaries..."

That is the evil name of His Majesty the Demon Dragon, not the disaster of God.

The real thunder burning in his body was swallowed up by the darkness.

Regress.

Send out a "help" signal.

The signal passed through the portal and fell into the hands of His Royal Highness the Prince.

Soon, a scream was heard.

The devouring fire from the pitch-black abyss formed a wild and violent universe. The red flames turned into huge fireballs, burning the sky and boiling the sea. The power of the heat death of the universe... was just the fantasy of the Fire Abyss Singer who had just appeared - Yuanshang.

A complex and inexpressible curse from the abyss.

Hearing the curses from Yuan Shang, the Abyss Singer who had just fought with Jiang Yi gave the signal to retreat.

The portal opened and the figure disappeared.

The space fluctuated, and the Abyss Mages and the Hillilch people all flashed out of the cave.

"Dear Fuchigami, you are captured!"

Jiang Yi's consciousness looked at the tall, burning Fire Abyss Singer under the tiger's claws and smiled kindly.

"Traitor, scum, bastard..." Yuan Shang was very excited. Of course, this excitement was directed at the Lei Shenyuan Singer who had just asked His Highness to ask him for help and then abandoned him.

"Brother Tiger, spare me. I am just a nobody in the Abyss Cult. I know nothing and can't do anything. I have never killed a pigeon or eaten sweet flower-stuffed chicken!"

"It's my dear man!"

After the battle started, Lanlizha on Jiang Yi's back was protected by Jiang Yi and could not perceive the battle situation. Only Nashida's consciousness was still there and she could see the tacit "battle" between Jiang Yi and the Abyss Cult this time.

"...I have connections with the Abyss Cult. Nashida, do you object to me...using the Abyss?" During those few nights of cuddling, Jiang Yi told her a secret that perhaps Ying and Paimon didn't know.

The Abyss Cult is an organization composed of the remnants of Kanreya who were transformed into inhuman creatures by the law of nature. They hate the Seven Gods and their people, and their goal is to destroy the Seven Kingdoms and submerge the throne of God.

Nashida didn't know much about this secret force of the abyss, but after Jiang Yi told her, she learned more about it.

The boundary between good and evil may not be clear, but the boundary drawn by stance and hatred is a deep and clear enough gap.

"I don't trust the Abyss Cult. By chance, I have cooperated with and connected with the Abyss Cult, but I hope... there is a god who knows this connection and will protect me."

"You are the god of wisdom connected to the World Tree. You should know this secret. In the future, when fighting against the Abyss Cult, the Seven Gods don't have to be ignorant of everything."

"Of course, I also want to distort the goal of the Abyss Cult, and the method is to infiltrate the inside first."

Jiang Yi recounted in detail how he encountered the Abyss Mage from the time he traveled through time, to their subsequent collaboration.

Nashida has the power of mind reading, which is enough to distinguish the lies and truth of gods and humans even if she doesn't use it.

Jiang Yi did not deceive her.

She also couldn't let Jiang Yi down.

When a friend tells you a secret, you should understand that there is no trust more precious than this in the world...

Those who walk in the darkness will merge with the darkness even if their hearts are toward the light.

"You regard me as your beacon in the bright world... Then, I will wipe away the shadow for you. I look forward to the dawn after the darkest night..."

……

Jiang Yi tied up Yuan Shang, sealed his power, and threw him into the outer cave.

Yuanshang turned into a human form. He was gentle, had black hair, and wore glasses. He was a scholar with a good temperament.

He was tied to a chair, looking at the paper man in front of him.

It should be said that it is the ghost of the dead, Abatoi, who possesses the paper man.

"Ahem, are you also a kidnapped scholar? You still have to work after you die, how pitiful."

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Yuan Shang, a researcher studying ancient Kanreya mechanical technology."

Yuan Shang changed his crying attitude in front of Jiang Yi.

"Hey! This mechanical part is not used like this..."

He couldn't help but curl his lips and gave instructions to Abatoi who was working silently.

"You can't create a mechanical beauty like this..."

"Oh! Kanreya's bionic technology is good, but it seems that they have never created any mechanical beauties...all of them are those stupid big guys guarding the ruins."

He already understood why Jiang Yi asked him to come over.

Create a mechanical beauty... and at the same time carry out the "Loom of Destiny", provide technical guidance for the "Mechanical Demon", and help remove the shackles bestowed by the heavens.

This research would also be a good experience accumulation for the Abyss Cult, so His Highness agreed directly.

A "well" character appeared on Abatoi's forehead. He looked at Yuan Shang who appeared here and chattered non-stop and asked: "Are you from the Miaolun sect?"

He appeared here to study mechanical life, not mechanical beauty.

Emphasized three times!

A research paper on mechanical life with the words "Mechanical Beauty" in the title is enough to be ridiculed for ten thousand years. It's chilling to think about it.

Kakata, the girl in the Fontaine noble girl's dress...was taken away by Tinari.

With such a terrible future, it would be better to just kill him.

"Well! Strictly speaking, I am... from the Ancient Country School..." Yuan Shang discovered that Jiang Yi did not even arrange an identity cover for him. At least he should give him a sage degree from some school of the Church!

Is Jiang Yi planning to destroy the bridge after crossing it and kill people to silence them after completing his plan to "break free from fate"?

I have made contributions to His Royal Highness the Prince, and I have shed blood for His Royal Highness the Prince. Jiang Yi, if you dare to do this, His Royal Highness the Prince will not let you go.

I want to meet the prince's sister... I'm a very good person.

……

Inside the tree trunk, there is an enormous chaos furnace core. Under the hollow metal shell, it is shining with bright sunlight. And below the chaos furnace core is a hollow metal disk. The hollow part is also shining with golden light, and the energy has turned into substance.

Energy was extracted from the core of the chaos furnace, forming dazzling rays of light that spread outward like a river of light.

Jiang Yi stood on the golden energy platform in the center of the disc and turned off the device. The light inside and outside the tree trunk gradually dimmed, and a faint blue-green glow spread throughout the cave.

On the trunk, golden branches continue to fork and wrap around the trunk.

Those abyss wizards have been driven away by him, and the surrounding seals are slowly recovering. The roots and branches from the forest are no longer "sick" and will not spread the "disease" to the entire forest of Mount Subduing Demons.

The forest just needs some time to rest and recover.

"Nashida, I'll take this 'Chaos Furnace Core'." Jiang Yi said. Strictly speaking, this thing is the property of the Ministry of Education.

Just conducting research requires the most complex reporting level.

But the sages of the Order had been disqualified, so Nashida decided to deal with Xumi's property freely.

"Well! Then let's do as we agreed...I'll keep it for you." Jiang Yi naturally had a verbal agreement with Nashida about taking away the dangerous objects.

This may seem a bit strange between friends, but because we are friends, we should show our attitude and discuss with each other instead of taking things casually.

A green light appeared on Nashida's body, and the power of plants and trees was driven out to release the seal.

At the same time, a new seal appeared in Jiang Yi's hand. After sealing the core of the chaos furnace, he put it into the outer cave.

The disc below was also moved away.

Then the whole cave became dark.

The fire of life suddenly burned, like a blue sun that blesses all things and nourishes the universe. Green grass sprouted, and the entire underground cave of brown-red grass and shrubs turned into a lush green world.

The twisted plants are all restored.

Jiang Yi walked out of the light and headed towards the outside world.

"In this way... even if the bad guys who want to make the forest sick come back, they won't be able to make the forest sick." Lan Lizhe heard the deal between the King of Grass and Jiang Yi.

His trust in the King of Plants prevented him from asking Jiang Yi where he would take the dirty things.

"Be careful, there are Fatui at the entrance." Nashida suddenly reminded Jiang Yi on his back.

"I see..." Jiang Yi's eyes were calm. He had already seen with his "heart" the entrance to the "Deaver's Old Cave" ruins, where the Fatui vanguard was standing fully armed.

"The Fatui... seem to be looking for this Chaos Furnace Core as well." He climbed up the cliff and quickly leaped upwards.

The noise of destroying the seal at the entrance was already very small, but it seemed that after the seal was destroyed, the energy at the entrance overflowed outwards, attracting the group of Fatui.

"Roar!"

The moment he went out, Jiang Yi opened his mouth and roared.

The Mahasthamaprapta mantra was activated, and the true words were integrated into the roar, causing sound waves visible to the naked eye, like rippling blue water, shaking the ten directions, and many elements turned into precious light, like little suns exploding.

"Enemy..." The Fatui vanguard didn't have time to utter a complete sentence before they lost their hearing, their brains went blank, and their bodies were pushed away by sound waves and elemental light.

Like a rolling gourd, it fell outwards in a circle.

The giant tiger that leaped out of the cave passage carried spore dust, confusing their memories and consciousness.

Spore eyeballs of microbes and parasites appeared in their brains.

If the Fatui sent someone to rescue them, Jiang Yi would be able to obtain intelligence from within the Fatui.

If you haven't come here, there are a lot of killing machines and monsters in this place.

Jiang Yi also read some of the Fatui's memories.

In their memories, there appeared the Fatui's analysis of the silver dragon "Durin", as well as the silhouette of the attacker over the port of Ormos that day.
