Chapter 483 – The Room
Chapter 483 The Room
In the dark deep sea, a green flame like a meteor suddenly crossed, hundreds of thousands of tons of seawater pressure and stagnation as if it did not exist, did not let the “meteor” show the slightest sign of delay.
Ai with the speed of the wind and lightning speed across the dark color of the deep sea floating island, and finally in the center of the island stopped, from the flames to coalesce out of the figure.
Duncan stepped out of the flames and floated in the ocean water, twisting his head again to look at the dove-spirit that was flying beside him.
Aye flew over and landed on his master’s shoulder, cocking his head curiously, “What are you looking at?”
Duncan didn’t say anything, but just 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 in front of – this very shocking giant pillar stands in his vision, from the center of the floating island in the deep sea mountain top extends out, almost straight pointing upwards, as if not only through the whole island, and even can be through the boundless darkness of the deep sea, and all the way up to the “frost”, and extend to the surface of the sea. “and extends to the world above the sea that is bathed in sunlight.
But it wasn’t truly infinite – after getting close enough to see more details, Duncan noticed that the upper part of the “pillar” ended abruptly in the water.
It was very, very high up, and there seemed to be an abrupt break in it.
But before looking at the break, Duncan first cautiously approached the middle section of the pillar, observing its “skin” form.
Regular, dense, vaguely visible structure of complex and regular lines, but also the distribution of regular raised structure, this is like a huge tentacle pillar in the details of a very orderly “neat” sense, and even …… like some kind of industrial product.
Duncan hesitated for a moment, cautiously reached out his hand toward the pillar – this body does not have molded arms and legs, but along with this reach out to touch the “pillar” move, the end of his arm suddenly began to shrink and squirm, and almost in the blink of an eye, it was divided into the formation of a The structure of a palm.
This is the process of secondary molding based on the “original template” under specific stimuli?
Duncan recalled the feeling of dividing the eye structure from the body’s face, and subconsciously guessed in his heart, and at the same time, he felt his newborn fingers had touched the blackened exterior of the pillar.
A rough, cold touch came from his fingertips, as if he were rubbing crude cast iron, but …… it seemed to carry a certain softness.
Duncan moved closer and looked more closely at the pillar’s exterior.
Deep within the dull gray-black skin, some pale blue veins could be faintly seen, like veins buried deep within the skin.
Duncan’s heart stirred, instantly recalling the “flesh and blood” sample he had obtained from Captain Christo Barberi’s mouth in the depths of the Obsidian.
The texture of the two looks very similar – this pillar standing in the deep sea is really the limb of the Profound Holy Lord extended to the real world?
With a strange touch in his heart, Duncan slightly retreated some distance, and slowly swept his eyes over this giant pillar.
It was of course unrealistic to find that wound left by Captain Christo on such a huge structure, but that didn’t stop Duncan’s heart from being flooded with a renewed sense of respect for that Captain Christo.
After a few minutes, Duncan began to swim towards the top of the pillar, aiming for the “break”.
After a long time, he finally arrived at the location of the break, and the situation was much as he had expected.
The pillar had indeed come to an abrupt end, as if it had been snapped off by some kind of jagged teeth, and the edges of the break had an uneven appearance.
And inside the fracture, the gray-black inner wall showed a constant concave state, like a crater with a strange atmosphere.
Duncan floated near this “fracture”, roughly estimating the scale of this pillar through the scene in front of him, and quickly confirmed one thing – if the boiling gold mine is in the middle, it will be a very good place for the pillar.
If the “big hole” in the boiling gold mine was really the result of a similar “pillar” or “tentacle”, then the tentacle that pierced into the city-state was definitely much smaller compared to the pillar in front of him. Compared to the pillar in front of us, the former is definitely much smaller, perhaps only one-fifth the size of the latter, or even smaller.
Is it because the “tentacle” that pierced into the city-state is only a “power projection” of the body of the deep sea? Or is it because the tentacle in the large cavity is in its early stages of growth, and it will continue to grow?
If the battle of Frost fails, if he fails to destroy the mirror image of Frost, if the “pillar” in the big hollow in the depths of the boiling gold mine continues to grow uncontrollably,……, will it eventually grow to break through the mine shaft, or even break through the mountains above it, and turn into a pillar like the one at this moment? Will it eventually grow to break through the mine shaft and even break through the mountains above, and become a “giant pillar” like the one in front of us right now, which seems to run through the entire floating island?
Is this what those crazy Annihilationists claimed and pursued – “recreating the grand blueprint of the Holy Lord’s creation in the real world”?
Duncan’s mind was filled with these frightening thoughts for a moment, but then he was interrupted by a shimmering light that suddenly flashed from the edge of his vision.
He jerked his head in the direction where the shimmering light had just appeared.
It was in the center of the “broken mouth”, the deepest part of the concave “crater”.
Without any hesitation, he immediately swam in that direction.
Over the jagged, fractured “cliffs” of the pillar’s edge, over the dark material that was gradually sinking into the center, in the silent depths of the ocean, far from civilization, a sudden flash of light became the only target in Duncan’s eyes, and he swam as fast as he could over the distance to the center of the pillar’s fracture.
When he arrived, however, the flash had vanished. There was only empty darkness, and the “ground” inside the pillar break was as cold and silent as rock.
Duncan floated in the water, frowning as he scanned the darkness, the empty space a cohesive, regretful ellipsis that hid the secret back in the depths of the curtain.
Soon, however, he realized something was amiss in his vision.
Below himself, in the center of the pillar’s “fracture”, the texture of the “ground” vaguely reveals an oddity, and it looks and feels as if it is a bit …… “Fuzzy”.
Yes, fuzzy, as if it was not a piece of material that actually existed, but really a layer of curtain between reality and reality.
Duncan hesitated for a few seconds, and finally cautiously approached the strange texture of the “ground”, but before reaching out and touching the piece of material, he first condensed a small cluster of fire at his fingertips and threw it into the fuzzy “curtain”.
In case of uncertainty, the spirit fire will open 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, and first disappeared like water seeping into the sand, and immediately afterward, wisps of green fire began to appear in the darkness, and almost in the blink of an eye, the whole “ground” was on fire! The whole piece of “ground” will be on fire almost in the blink of an eye!
Accompanied by the burning of the flame, Duncan suddenly felt …… some kind of subtle “connection” is being established.
However, that connection is not pointing to the “huge pillar” under his feet, which is suspected to be the tentacles of the ancient gods, but to a …… vaguely familiar atmosphere.
The next second, he saw the ground below in the flame spreading rapidly change, and gradually transformed into some kind of mirror-like texture, and that mirror-like surface layer in the firelight slightly surging, like some kind of viscous and smooth liquid surface!
Duncan’s heart moved, and then followed the feeling from the flames to approach the surging, mirror-like “liquid surface”, and reached out his fingers to touch its surface.
Boom!
In the illusion, as if there was a loud bang in his head, as if the stagnant time suddenly started, as if the heavy curtain suddenly ripped open, as if a barrier at the border of reality roared and collapsed, Duncan felt that he had crossed a certain boundary in an instant, and then the “world” in front of his eyes began to be filled with a warm light.
The feeling of being wrapped in cold, heavy sea water suddenly disappeared, and the feeling of being on solid ground replaced the empty, unsupported floating feeling of the previous second, and the warm light in front of his eyes gradually became softer and softer, and along with the gradual adaptation of his vision, Duncan finally got a clear view of his surroundings, and was dumbfounded in his dismay.
He was in a magnificent and bright room.
Lights from the roof chandelier sprinkled down, illuminating the room’s many exquisite and elaborate furnishings, court-style shelves and metal sculptures in the light with a soft glow, there is a gorgeous bed placed in the center of the room, which is surrounded by semi-transparent curtains, and the depths of which seems to be someone is sleeping.
Duncan stared in dismay at the scene before him, and then jerked his head back to look behind himself.
That seemed to be the direction he had come from.
He saw a twisted and chaotic darkness.
The room seemed to have disappeared in front of that boundary, and beyond the broken walls and floors was a chaotic realm like the void of space, with chaotic shadows and dim streams of light ebbing and flowing in that nothingness, as if it were filled with truths and mysteries enough to make mortals go mad, but as if it were just a meaningless empty space.
A word suddenly flowed into the mind-
Subspace.
Duncan felt his heart (if this body has a heart) suddenly stopped beating for a beat, he never thought there would be such a scene – he was standing in a fragmented room, one step away from the chaotic light and shadow of subspace, and those hazy chaotic light and shadow seems to be emitting a silent hissing, with all kinds of wild speech Conveyed to him the incomprehensible …… knowledge and “truth”.
Duncan raised his hand and cautiously peered into the darkness beyond the boundaries of the room.
He touched a hard, cold surface.
An invisible barrier stood between him and subspace.
“You can’t get through,” a voice suddenly came from behind him, “you haven’t really opened that door yet.”
Duncan’s mind snapped back in surprise.
The veil around the ornate king-sized bed had opened, and the man who had slumbered in it had awakened at some point and was looking silently this way.
Long silver-white hair fell from her shoulders, and her violet eyes shone like jewels.
“Alice?”
