Chapter 996 The Cause of the Outbreak
Climate change cannot stop the three people.
Thor followed Kori to the Great Rift.
This is where most of the bone monsters are produced. In addition to the several indigenous forces controlled by Noah, the number of bone monsters they control is increasing.
Next to the Great Rift, Keli, along with several wizards and hundreds of natives, built a huge experimental base. Inside the base stood rows of white skeletons of various shapes and sizes, mostly in animal form, and occasionally some monsters that had never appeared in the wizarding world.
"These are all the first-stage modified bones. The second and third stages are further modified based on the first stage. In addition to being stronger and more stable, they have also made breakthroughs in two different directions. It's just that Keli and I are not sure which direction is better. Please come and take a look."
Brando spoke cautiously, obviously still not recovered from the shock of Thor already reaching the fourth level, and his tone was vague.
"Which two directions?" Thor asked as he walked.
"Keli weakened the combat effectiveness of the bone monsters and increased the number of them under her control. I prefer to increase the intensity and adopt an elite combat approach."
Two people studied two directions, no wonder they were hesitant.
Of course, Thor could choose to carry out a certain amount of transformation in both directions, but he also had to decide which was more important. The army of bones here would become an important aid to the red worms. It was impossible to come up with a research direction based on one's own ideas.
Thor followed Kelly and Brando separately to learn about their transformation plans.
However, after reading it, he felt that each had its pros and cons and could not make a decision immediately.
"Then you guys continue your research first, try to keep the advantages and reduce the deficiencies. I'll go over there and take a look first."
The other side that Thor was talking about was another world at the bottom of the Great Rift.
Thor had previously suspected that this chaotic region was the Desedil continent that was once swallowed by the Eye of the Abyss. And outside the membrane that envelops the continent is somewhere in the Eye of the Abyss. This made Thor suspect that this membrane was like the "stomach" of the Eye of the Abyss.
Thinking about it this way, the Eye of the Abyss has been devouring the continent of Desedil for so many years, but it has not yet "digested" the continent. Instead, it has brought new life to the continent and formed a new ecological system.
So has the Eye of the Abyss suffered from... indigestion?
Mentor Gorza said the Eye of the Abyss is a corpse.
Can a corpse eat?
Naturally, it cannot be digested.
The loss of the Chaos Domain can be seen as the damage caused by the Desedil Continent being swallowed up. However, no matter how much it cannot be digested, it is a disaster for the creatures on the continent.
The population of Chaos Domain must be less than one percent of the original. The current scale has only developed slowly after it became a Chaos Domain.
Thor jumped down the big rift, fell to the bottom, found the gap again, and stretched his destiny line through it.
Now he has the strength of a fourth-level wizard, and with the constant nourishment of the Symphony of Destiny, his mental strength is constantly growing without meditation practice. His destiny line is also constantly expanding. Now it can cover a small town.
This time, as Thor's destiny line entered the abyss, he found that his vision was much clearer than last time.
There was still a starry sky above his head, and this time he could clearly see the source of each star. Thor could also tell that the starry sky here was different from the starry sky outside the wizarding world.
If this is the inner world of the Eye of the Abyss, then the starry sky outside is definitely not real. But even if it is not the real universe, it may be another planet swallowed by the abyss.
After all, a sixth-level wizard already has the ability to destroy a world. Even if he is now a corpse, he still poses a fatal threat to Thor's world.
And if the threat continues for a few more years, it will become the real doomsday.
Thor lowered his eyes and scanned the world around him.
This place is a bit like the surface of the moon. The ground is covered with traces of impact. It is gray all around and there is no sign of life.
As far as Thor could see, there were tens of thousands of skeletons lying in all directions. Many of these corpses were mutilated and did not seem to have any signs of movement.
But Thor knew that these corpses were actually the anchor points that the wizarding world was extremely afraid of. The bones outside the "stomach" seemed to be contaminated with the breath of the sixth level, which was extremely polluting to low-level beings.
They are only well behaved here, but outside, they will turn into murderous gods.
Thor once encountered an anchor point that suddenly appeared in the wizarding world in the Far North. It appeared suddenly without an eye of the storm, and when it left, it also left through a strange space crack.
This is the sign that the Eye of the Abyss is about to erupt completely.
"You're here again?"
A white human skeleton appeared behind Thor.
It's Camus.
The only anchor Thor has found so far that can actively communicate with him.
“Are you planning to surrender to the abyss? I can guarantee that after you are swallowed by the abyss, you will still maintain your sanity. You can even continue to try to advance here.”
This time, Thor did not refuse immediately, but asked tentatively: "Is the abyss about to erupt?"
The skeleton paused and transmitted the next message.
"Want to test me?" The skeleton shook its head gently, trembling as if it was about to fall off. "No need. You can see everything, but you can't stop anything."
Although Thor only heard the information and not the voice, he could already feel the contempt and pride in Camus' tone.
Then, Camus raised one hand and waved it behind him, "Let me show you, so you can give up."
After Camus raised his hand, the skeletons that were originally lying quietly around him suddenly began to tremble one by one, as if their consciousness had returned. Some of them propped up their arms, some straightened their bodies, and stood up unsteadily.
One skeleton stood up, and thousands and millions of skeletons stood up.
Just like the waves on the sea, spreading out in all directions, endlessly.
"Who are you? You can't be Wizard Camus."
Such an action is not something a wizard who has strayed into the abyss can do.
The skeleton in front of him did not answer Thor's question, "It doesn't matter. Soon, you will all become part of the abyss and no longer need an independent identity."
"Do you mean that the Abyss will soon devour the entire wizarding world?"
“This is the inevitable outcome.”
"You, are you the consciousness of the abyss?"
"If you want to think so, that's fine." The skeleton didn't give Thor any chance to test him.
"Then can I ask, why does the Abyss want to devour the wizarding world?"
The Great Devil has always seemed destined to destroy the world, but apart from unconscious erosion and expansion, there should be a specific reason for everything else.
Is it the need for living space, a blood feud, or a desire for greater power?
The skeleton in front of him clearly had a clear consciousness, and was not absolutely crazy and disordered. So his purpose should have a corresponding initial desire.
Thor wanted to know why.
This concerns the subsequent confrontational measures he should take.
But the other party still did not intend to reveal any information to Thor.
"Heh, when you humans step on ants to death, do you have any purpose?"
Thor pulled back slowly, "If you won't say anything and don't have the slightest sincerity, I won't join you."
This time the skeleton did not mock him, he just watched Thor leave quietly.
Back above the Great Rift, An was waiting for him at the edge of the rift.
"Master, I'm glad you're back safely. Are there any new problems?" An noticed that Thor's face didn't look very good, so he hurried forward to ask.
Unexpectedly, Thor smiled the next second.
"It's okay, An, I am actually sure of what I thought."
"Camus refused to say anything, but his attitude said it all. They have no other desires but to devour the wizarding world. But the Abyss is already a corpse. What desires can a corpse have?"
Thor looked at An, but An didn't dare to interrupt because of the word "abyss".
But Thor took the initiative to tell the answer.
"Of course he wants to be resurrected!"
