Chapter 998 Give Him a Wrong Answer
Brainstorming is indeed useful, and Thor immediately came up with an idea of how to fight the abyss.
Both the Red Worms and the Bone Army are defensive measures. They will fight against the Anchor Point and other monsters and pollution that emerge from the Abyss.
But after figuring out how to resurrect the sixth level, Thor and the others had a way to solve the root cause.
As for whether they can come up with a definite solution after they have a direction, it all depends on them to continue exploring.
Unlike Thor's excitement, everyone else seemed silent.
Xia Ya: [How difficult is it to destroy a sixth-order person's cognition of the essence? We don't even know what he knows, so how can we destroy it?]
After a brief silence, Gorsa more or less understood Thor's intention.
Gorza: [It is indeed difficult. But we are not trying to destroy a sixth-order cognition, but to prevent him from resurrecting. His cognition of the essence should have been destroyed, which is why he has fallen to this point today.]
Floco also became excited.
Froco: [Right! So what we need to do is not to destroy it, but to prevent him from rebuilding his understanding of the world. He is now constantly devouring the wizarding world, probably because he wants to use the digestion of the wizarding world to rebuild his understanding of the essence.]
Thor thought of Camus again. He could already control the skeletons in the abyss. Did that mean that the sixth level of death was gradually establishing new cognition?
Char was still habitually pessimistic.
Char: [But how can we stop it? Can we prevent the abyss from swallowing up the continent? That would be no different from what we are doing now, right?]
Gorza: [I suddenly remembered something. I discussed the red worm with Douglas these days, and one of his points was very interesting to me.]
Floco: [What did you say? Who? Douglas?!]
Thor asked in confusion: "Floco, what's wrong with you?"
Why so... terrified? Thor could almost hear Floco's heavy breathing.
Floco: […I am a little sensitive about this name, I hope it is just a coincidence.]
Saul thought of Douglas's unusual and mysterious behavior, and intuitively felt that it was not a coincidence.
The Douglas that he couldn't see through and the Douglas that frightened Floco so much might be the same person!
"The Douglas we met looked like a third-level wizard, but he gave people a very calm and composed feeling. Even when facing Alick, he did not show any emotion."
Thor has a special experience, and with the help of his diary and starry eyes, he has the confidence to fight against the fourth level.
But the fact that Douglas was so calm - even though he acted very politely - gave people a strange feeling that something was wrong.
Thor did not describe Douglas's appearance to Floco. After all, even for a third-level wizard, it would be easy to change his appearance.
However, things like mental fluctuations cannot be simulated 100%.
So Thor could only describe his feelings to Floco.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this information, Floco had already determined the other party's identity.
Floco: [No doubt about it, it's him. Douglas, a fifth-level wizard who left the wizarding world earlier than me. I heard that he is only one step away from the sixth level.]
Saul closed his eyes.
This news is shocking, but it also feels like it should be expected.
"Then why did Douglas disguise himself as a third-level wizard to help us fight the abyss?"
Floco smiled bitterly.
Floco: [I was severely injured by him last time, but I don't know why he suddenly stopped in the middle and spared my life. However, I think no matter what he did, it was definitely to advance to the sixth level.]
Char: [Then could his goal be the Eye of the Abyss? After all, that was a dead rank 6.]
"If his target is really the Eye of the Abyss, then it's not a bad thing for us."
A fifth-level wizard who wants to become a sixth-level wizard will definitely not refuse to study a sixth-level corpse, right?
Gorza: [Hehe, if his goal is also to become a sixth-level wizard, then when he talked to me about the red worm, he must have been deliberately hinting at me and giving me information on how to fight the Eye of the Abyss.]
Everyone finally remembered what Gorza had not finished saying, and they all became curious.
Gorza: [He told me that the method of deactivating the red worm is actually to give it a false impression. Let it think it is dead. Because the red worm is a pure conscious life, when it thinks it is dead, it will enter a deactivated state. It is very similar to the wizard whose mind is alienated but the body is still alive.]
Saul nodded repeatedly. Now when he thought back to any of Douglas' actions, he believed that they all had a specific meaning.
Char: [Douglas wants us to hint to Abyss that he is dead? No, Abyss is dead to begin with.]
Froco: [This is just a way of thinking. We cannot limit ourselves to life and death.]
Thor thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps Douglas is trying to hint to us that if we give Abyss a wrong answer, his resurrection will fail."
If the Eye of the Abyss wants to be resurrected, it must rebuild its understanding of its essence. But what if this understanding is wrong?
Then there is no way to resurrect!
The Colorful Channel was quiet for a moment again.
Char: [This, this is not easy. It is easy to fabricate a wrong perception, but it is difficult to fabricate a wrong perception that a sixth-order person believes is correct! ]
Gorza remains optimistic.
Gorza: [It's not easy to cheat a sixth-level, but it's not impossible to cheat a sixth-level who has gone crazy. ]
"Yes, and Abyss is now eager to be resurrected, and Camus is getting more and more anxious. I seriously suspect that Abyss doesn't have much time left. Once a certain limit is exceeded, he will lose the ability to resurrect forever. So he is likely to seize every opportunity to try."
Floco: [A drowning man will grab any piece of driftwood he wants, regardless of whether it can bear his weight.]
"So next, while everyone is defending against the black tide, they must also find a suitable lie."
Char: [I don't need it. I'm just a small second-level.]
Gorza: [Oh, don't worry. The thoughts of fools can sometimes inspire wise men. It is because you know nothing that you can break free from limitations and imagine without restraint.]
Xia Ya: I always feel like you are scolding me, but I don't dare to scold you back. I'm so angry!
Thor couldn't help but chuckle, "Okay, so none of us can give up. You can also discuss this issue with others without revealing the secrets of the Abyss."
…
After disconnecting, Golza sat up on his big pink couch.
"Interesting way of communicating." He rubbed his forehead and didn't feel any discomfort.
This way of communication actually exceeds his understanding of conscious communication.
But since that was the way Thor came up with it, Gorza could only say: he was used to it.
He touched his bandaged chin, tilted his head, and began to think about the homework Thor assigned to everyone.
Come on, now the mentor has to complete the apprentice's homework.
After thinking for a while without any ideas, Gorsa teleported directly to Douglas who was doing experiments in the observatory tower.
Douglas was wearing a white wizard robe and holding two beakers. He still looked calm. "What's the matter?"
"How do you think we can stop the Abyss from erupting?"
Golsa is sometimes stubborn, but sometimes very flexible.
For example, now, he came to Douglas with the intention of... copying the answers.
