Chapter 918: The Black Tide Returns
"Why do you suddenly want to go to the Stargate Council, Senior?"
Thor still remembered Kismet's advice to regard the Stargate Council as his last stop, so he did not go there with Byron.
Although Kismet is unreliable, he also knows a lot of secrets. Most importantly, Thor also has his own plans.
Byron told Thor truthfully: "The half-elf mentioned that something seemed to have happened over there, but it might be beneficial to my promotion, so he asked me to go over and take a look."
"Half-elf?" Thor didn't like the half-elf consciousness hidden in Senior Byron's body, but now Senior Byron needed the half-elf to guide him on the road to promotion.
"The Stargate Council has been silent for so many years. It turns out that they are not just studying the issue of crossing the Stargate. The situation over there is probably very complicated." Thor could only advise, "Be careful."
Byron nodded.
Danger is everywhere. As long as you want to continue on the path of a wizard and want to acquire those ethereal and forbidden knowledge, you cannot be afraid of danger.
They are all the same people in this respect.
After seeing off Senior Byron, Thor received an expedited letter.
The letter read, "The black tide will arrive in a month."
Thor pinched the letter with two fingers, and it turned into fine gray dust and fell into the soil.
He turned to look at Keli who was still waiting for him and whispered, "The black tide is coming."
Keli nodded, "I'll go with you."
Thor nodded, and the two immediately prepared to set off.
This time, they were not going to the Eternal Night Empire, but to the Wall of Sighs.
That is also the location of the fourth target of the Symphony of Destiny that Thor chose for himself.
There is no ultra-long-distance teleportation array that can connect to the Wall of Sighs. This kind of teleportation array consumes a lot of energy, and only the Stargate Council and the Tribunal can afford it.
Although the wizard Murphy of the Wall of Sighs is also at the fourth level, he does not manage the Wall of Sighs as a force, so he does not have any extra resources.
This is also the reason why everyone else respects Wizard Murphy. After the Eye of the Abyss appeared, he almost put all his energy into fighting against the black tide.
But because of this, life on the other side of the Wall of Sighs is actually very hard, and some wizards who want to do experiments there need to purchase resources from outside.
Thor and Kelly chartered an airship and headed directly to the Wall of Sighs. Otherwise, it would take them several months to walk slowly.
The captain of the airship was an acquaintance, Captain Harry, whom Thor had met when he was still an apprentice.
However, Captain Harry dared to chat with Thor, an apprentice, at first, but now he keeps his head down and dares not say anything.
On the airship, Keli was a little nervous. This was her first time to fight against the black tide, and if the war got tense, she would still have to activate the bone dragon. Now Keli could communicate with the bone monster like Byron, and after three years of continuous running-in, she no longer had to worry about the bone dragon getting out of control like she did in the Judgment Court.
In order to prepare for the battle, Kelly locked herself in the cabin to study tactics, while Thor stood on the deck and discussed the fourth target with Beth in the diary.
"The mentor also said in the message before that he would leave with the monsters in the black tide when the tide receded. I haven't made up my mind yet whether to make the mentor my fourth target."
[Haven't you tried twice before? I don't think Gorza really minds.]
"He's going to the Eye of the Abyss."
Beth was a little surprised. Sol shouldn't distrust Gorza so much! [Do you think he won't come back? ]
Thor lowered his head and saw the airship moving rapidly through the clouds. From time to time, he could see the ground beneath his feet, a mixture of dark yellow and dark green, through the gaps in the clouds.
"I once thought about entering the Eye of the Abyss with my mentor." He was a man with a lot of cards and was best at dealing with black tide pollution. "But the only outcome of doing so was death."
This is the third time that the diary has a warning with only the word "death".
He had gotten through the previous two times thanks to accidents and prior preparation, but this time, Thor had no clue.
Because he knew almost nothing about the Eye of the Abyss.
Every time I think of this word, an inexplicable fear lingers in my heart.
It’s like when you don’t think about it, you don’t feel anything, but when you think about it carefully, you will tremble.
The scariest part was that Thor didn't even know why he was shaking.
"It's still because of ignorance." Thor lay on the side of the boat.
In the past three years, he has not been to the Wall of Sighs, but has been digesting the power of destiny brought by the first three targets of the Symphony of Destiny. Now his strength has improved further than before.
Not to mention his magic power, his spiritual body also became more stable.
Now if Flim threw him into the black tide near the Eye of the Abyss again, Thor probably wouldn't even need the mermaid's tears to perform his witchcraft normally.
This alone makes him surpass all third-level wizards.
At the same time, he also used such powerful mental power to upgrade several of his trump card witchcrafts.
The Soul Blade was completely upgraded to level 5 witchcraft, and with Thor's strength, it could almost kill an ordinary level 3 wizard instantly.
He also integrated all the "XX Touch" witchcraft he had learned since he was an apprentice into his soul fishing, and with his current form and ability, transformed it into a body form that can change into a body with hundreds of tentacles - Ash Tentacles. The improved tentacles can not only absorb the pollution in other people's bodies (no longer limited to black tide pollution), but also inject the pollution stored in the body into other people's bodies like venom. In this way, whoever wants to fight him in the future will have to consider how many rounds of pollution they can survive without alienation.
Finally, Thor also designed a final killer move with the star eyes, which he named "Deep Space Gaze". This move is an indiscriminate attack, and every time it is performed, it is a 100% burst. Weird eyes grow all over Thor's body until he becomes a collection of eyes.
Even Thor couldn't control this killer move perfectly. Once it was used for a long time, everything around him would begin to change without distinction. Even an ordinary stone would not be spared.
In order to study this witchcraft, Thor designed many experimental scenes. These test sites were finally sealed off, and some places were even cleaned by Thor's ash tentacles and then burned directly with fire to avoid future troubles.
In the end, Thor found a deserted place in the Chaos Realm and made a simple attempt.
The membrane that envelops the Chaos Domain seems to have isolated most of the pollution. But even so, when Thor used the "Deep Space Gaze" for nearly a minute, a strange escape phenomenon occurred on the desert ground of the Chaos Domain.
The sand was sunken into human figures, and each figure was in a running posture, as if there were really people lying on the ground running away.
In the end, Thor cleaned up the surrounding area and burned the desert directly into crystals, eliminating this escape phenomenon.
In addition to these three most powerful trump cards, Thor also learned some high-level witchcraft. With the addition of the power of destiny, even if it is a witchcraft that is so complicated that it requires at least a room of books to record it, Thor can quickly grasp the key points.
This is the hidden bonus brought by the power of destiny.
However, even though Thor had become so powerful and terrifying, when he planned to go to the Eye of the Abyss, the diary still only wrote the word "death".
This made him extremely worried about the situation of Mentor Gorza.
Can the other party really come back alive? Or will the one who comes back alive be Gorza? (End of this chapter)
