In the dark deep sea, a group of green flames suddenly flashed across like a meteor. The weight and stagnation of hundreds of millions of tons of seawater seemed to not exist, and the "meteor" did not show any sign of slowness.
Ai traversed the deep-sea floating island with a pitch-black color at lightning speed, and finally stopped in the center of the island, re-forming from the flames.
Duncan stepped out of the flames, floated in the sea water, and turned to look at the pigeon spirit flying around him.
Ai Yi flew over and landed on his master's shoulder, tilting his head curiously: "What are you looking at?"
Duncan did not speak, but stretched out his arm and gently rubbed the pigeon's head, then turned around and looked at the huge "pillar" in the center of the island.
Now, he came to it - this shocking giant pillar stood in his field of vision, extending from the top of the mountain in the center of the deep-sea floating island, pointing almost straight to the sky, as if it not only penetrated the entire island,
It can even penetrate the boundless dark deep sea, extend to the "frost" above, and extend to the sun-bathed world above the sea.
But it didn't really extend infinitely - after getting close enough, Duncan finally saw more details, and he noticed that the upper part of the "pillar" ended abruptly in the water.
It was at a very high place, and there seemed to be an abrupt break there.
But before looking at the fracture, Duncan carefully approached the middle section of the pillar and observed its "skin" shape.
Regular and dense, with vaguely complex and regular textures, and regular convex structures distributed, this pillar that looks like a huge tentacle actually presents a very orderly "tidy" feeling in the details, and even...
...like some kind of industrial product.
Duncan hesitated for a moment, then cautiously stretched out his hand towards the pillar - the body had no formed arms and legs, but as he stretched out his hand to touch the "pillar", the end of his arm suddenly began to expand, contract and squirm, and almost
In the blink of an eye, it differentiates into the structure of the palm.
Is this a process of spontaneous secondary molding based on the "original template" under specific stimulation?
Duncan recalled the feeling of distinguishing the eye structure from the face of this body before, and subconsciously guessed in his mind. At the same time, he felt that his new fingers had touched the dark appearance of the pillar.
A rough and cold touch came from the fingertips, as if rubbing rough cast iron, but... it seemed to have a certain softness.
Duncan moved closer and observed the appearance of the pillar more carefully.
Deep in the gray-black dull epidermis, you can vaguely see some light blue lines, like blood vessels buried deep in the skin.
Duncan's mind moved, and he instantly thought of the "flesh and blood" sample obtained from the mouth of Captain Christo Barbelli in the depths of the Obsidian.
The two look very similar in texture - is this pillar standing in the deep sea really the limb of the Holy Lord Netherworld extending into the real world?
With a strange touch in his heart, Duncan stepped back slightly and his eyes slowly swept over the giant pillar.
It is of course unrealistic to find the wound left by Captain Christo on such a huge structure, but this does not prevent Duncan from once again respecting Captain Christo in his heart.
A few minutes later, Duncan began to swim towards the top of the pillar, his goal being the "break".
After a long time, he finally arrived at the location of the fracture, and the situation here was almost as he imagined.
The pillar did stop abruptly here, as if it was bitten by some jagged teeth, and the edge of the fracture showed an undulating appearance.
Inside the fracture, the gray-black inner wall is constantly concave, like a crater with a weird atmosphere.
Duncan floated near this "break", roughly estimated the size of this pillar through the scene in front of him, and quickly confirmed one thing -
If the "big hole" in the boiling gold mine is really the result of erosion by a similar "pillar" or "tentacle", then the tentacle piercing into the city-state is definitely worse than the pillar in front of you.
Much smaller, the scale of the former may be only one-fifth of the latter, or even smaller.
Is it because the "tentacle" that pierced the city-state is just the "power projection" of the deep sea body? Or is it because the tentacle in the big hollow is in the early stages of growth and will continue to grow?
If the Frost Defense Battle fails, if I fail to eliminate the mirror image of Frost in the end, if the "pillar" in the big hole deep in the Boiling Gold Mine continues to grow uncontrollably...will it finally grow enough to break through the mine?
, even broke through the mountains above, and turned into a "giant pillar" like the one in front of me at this moment, which seemed to run through the entire floating island?
Is this what those crazy Annihilation cultists claim and pursue - "recreating the grand blueprint of the Holy Lord's creation in the real world"?
These rather scary conjectures popped up in Duncan's mind for a moment, but then, his thoughts were interrupted by a sudden flash of light from the edge of his vision.
He suddenly looked in the direction where the faint light appeared just now.
It is in the center of the "fracture", the deepest part of the sunken "crater".
Without any hesitation, he immediately swam in that direction.
Crossing the jagged fractured "cliff" at the edge of the pillar, crossing the dark material that gradually sunk toward the center, in this silent deep sea far away from the civilized world, a sudden flash of light became the only target in Duncan's eyes, and he raced as fast as possible
He swam across this distance at a very fast speed and arrived near the center point of the pillar fracture.
However, when he came here, the flash had disappeared.
There is only a hollow darkness left here, and the "ground" within the fracture of the pillar is as cold and silent as a rock.
Duncan floated in the sea, frowning as he scanned the darkness. This empty place was like a condensed, regretful ellipsis, hiding the secret deep in the curtain again.
However, he soon discovered something was wrong in his field of vision.
Below him, in the central area of the "fracture" of the pillar, the texture of the "ground" was vaguely weird, and it seemed a bit... "fuzzy".
Yes, it's blurry, as if it's not a piece of real material, but really a layer of curtain between reality and reality.
Duncan hesitated for a few seconds, and finally cautiously approached the piece of "ground" with a strange texture. But before reaching out to touch the material, he first condensed a small flame on his fingertips and burned it.
Throw yourself into that blurry "curtain".
When you are in doubt, your spiritual fire will clear the way - it never hurts to be more cautious.
The green spiritual fire fell into the black "ground" almost in the blink of an eye. First it disappeared like water seeping into the sand. Then, wisps of spreading green fire began to appear in the darkness, almost in the blink of an eye.
In an instant, the entire "ground" burst into flames!
As the flames burned, Duncan suddenly felt...that a subtle "connection" was being established.
However, the connection did not point to the "huge pillar" under his feet that seemed to be touched by the ancient god, but to a... vaguely familiar aura.
The next second, he saw the ground below changing rapidly as the flames spread, and gradually transformed into some kind of mirror-like texture, and the mirror-like surface was surging slightly in the firelight, like something
A thick and smooth liquid surface!
Duncan's heart moved, and then he followed the feeling from the flames and approached the surging, mirror-like "liquid surface", and stretched out his fingers to touch its surface.
boom!
In the illusion, it seemed as if a loud noise exploded in his mind, like the stagnant time suddenly started, like a heavy curtain suddenly torn apart, like a barrier roaring and collapsing at the border of reality. Duncan felt that he had crossed a certain boundary in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, the "world" in front of him began to be filled with warm light.
The feeling of being surrounded by cold and heavy sea water suddenly disappeared, and the down-to-earth touch replaced the empty and helpless floating feeling of the previous second. The warm glow in front of his eyes gradually became softer. As his vision gradually adapted, Duncan finally
He saw the surrounding situation clearly and was stunned in shock.
He was in a gorgeous and bright room.
The light falls from the chandelier on the roof, illuminating the many exquisite and elegant furnishings in the room. The palace-style shelves and metal sculptures glow softly in the light, and there is a gorgeous big bed placed in the center of the room.
The big bed is surrounded by translucent curtains, and someone seems to be sleeping deep inside.
Duncan looked at the scene in front of him in astonishment, then suddenly turned his head and looked behind him.
That seems to be the direction I came from.
He saw a twisted and chaotic darkness.
The room seemed to disappear out of thin air in front of that boundary. Beyond the broken walls and floors, there was a chaotic realm like a void space. There were also chaotic shadows and dim light streams undulating and flowing in that void, as if filled with
The truths and mysteries are enough to drive mortals crazy, but they seem to be just a meaningless void.
A word suddenly came into my mind——
Subspace.
Duncan felt his heart (if this body had a heart) suddenly stop beating for a beat. He had never imagined that there would be such a scene - he was standing in a fragmented room, with the subspace just one step away.
The light and shadow were chaotic, and those hazy and chaotic lights and shadows seemed to be roaring silently, conveying incomprehensible...knowledge and "truth" to him in all kinds of crazy words.
Duncan raised his hand and carefully explored the darkness beyond the boundaries of the room.
He touched a hard, cold surface.
An invisible barrier stood between him and the subspace.
"You can't get through," a voice suddenly came from behind him, "you haven't really opened the door yet."
Duncan was startled and turned around suddenly.
The gauze curtains around the gorgeous bed have been opened, and the person sleeping on the bed has woken up at some point and is looking here quietly.
Her long silver hair fell from her shoulders, and her purple eyes shone like gems.
