"Location area..."

"A community of isolated islands in the Endless Ocean."

"start!"

With a mechanical sound, a thick cylinder cut through the void and fell onto an island.

The cylinder penetrated straight into the center of the island, smashing the hard rocks, and the front end rotated rapidly towards the depths.

Not long.

“Crack…”

The cylinder that penetrated deep into the island made a slight crisp sound, and the surface layer was peeled off layer by layer like fish scales.

Behind the surface,

They are fist-sized caves.

There were octopuses curled up in the cave, and now they were all activated and crawled out.

These octopuses rolled up their tentacles, easily crushing the rocks around them, and pounced forward like drills exploring holes.

In less than a day, these octopuses had dug out passages in the mountain below the entire island.

"Record!"

A man with a metallic hue appeared above the island and uttered a monotonous voice: "In the 993rd year of the Otherworldly Calendar, the high-ranking follower 'Li' successfully entered this world and began to build a base."

"The detector sent a message..."

"The current upper limit of the power of this world is the primary level of the second stage. My power is suppressed to a certain extent."

"The number of local strongmen is very small. The only thing we need to worry about is the followers sent by other gods."

"Ding ding..." A ball floating in the air approached quickly, and a rapid sound came:

"The main construction of the base is complete. Please ask the 'superior dependents' to arrange the next matters, including mining source materials, breeding mine thieves, and expanding the base..."

"Assign some miners to mine source materials, and use the collected source materials to breed mechanical guards for the base..." Li said solemnly, "Continue to explore the surrounding environment. The first priority is to ensure the smooth operation of the base. Other things are not urgent."

"Yes." The ball responded by flashing green light, then bright red light, and the voice suddenly became urgent: "Warning!"

"warn!"

"An unknown entity broke into the base. There is a blind spot in Area 3. A large number of squid miners have lost their response."

"Hmm?" 'Li' turned and said, "Call up the holographic image!"

"yes!"

The ball should be.

A huge holographic image immediately emerged in the void, covering the entire island inside and out.

Countless red dots shuttled across the island.

As the image turns to Area 3, details gradually emerge, and one squid miner after another loses energy and falls to the ground.

There were no strange figures near them, and air detection did not find any neurotoxin infiltration.

"water!"

Li quickly noticed something was wrong: "Focus the surveillance on the water flow in area three."

"yes."

The sphere swayed, and the holographic image in the field changed immediately. The slowly flowing water in the mine was rapidly magnified.

After magnification, the water flow was like a living thing, wriggling inside the squid miner's body.

Seemingly slow,

In fact, it consumes the revelation inside the squid miner at an alarming rate, thereby destroying the squid's power.

“Swish!”

No instructions needed.

The ball has locked onto the wandering water flow and is tracking it towards its source along the direction of the flow.

"What is that?"

'Lee' rolled his eyes.

At the source of the current, hundreds of meters below the island's surface, a huge, weird squid was lying on a rock.

The squid has dozens of thick tentacles, each with sharp serrations and strange eyeballs.

A special force enveloped the squid's body, making it look like a lifeless boulder under surveillance. If the base's capabilities were not all used to track it, it would probably still be impossible to see through its disguise.

"wrong!"

Li suddenly narrowed his eyes: "Quick..."

Before it could finish its words, the giant squid suddenly shrank its body, and then dazzling electric light spurted out of its body.

The electric light followed the water flow deep into the base, instantly covering the entire base and all the squid miners.

At some point, the water flow controlled by the squid had already flowed along the channel and covered the entire base.

"boom!"

The entire island shook violently.

Lightning tore through the earth and shot into the sky, and the shattered bodies of the squid miners flew out from it.

"Abyssal squid!"

Li crashed through the rocks and flew into the air. He looked at the squid below with a concealed expression and said in a cold voice:

"The followers of the evil god of the abyss!"

"Hmm..." The tentacles of the Abyss Squid were dozens of meters long, and its huge head was floating in the water. "Are there any connections between the evil gods?"

After muttering softly, the eyes of the abyss squid all glowed with a faint light.

Aura of fear!

The mental power fluctuations that were enough to destroy a peak first-order creature swept over Li, but it was like a breeze blowing past and had no effect.

“It’s no use!”

Li's voice was icy: "I am a mechanical life form. My life core is stored in the Creator. I am immune to 99% of mental attacks."

While talking.

Its body has appeared next to the abyss squid.

'Li's' body is not much different from that of a human, except that the surface of his skin has a more iron-like luster.

It's as if the whole body is made of fine iron.

In fact,

Its body is made of void crystal, which is extremely hard and can be improved by swallowing other metals.

Seventeenth Style of Divine Martial Arts - Collapse Fist! "Boom!"

Facing the fist, the abyss squid dived quickly, and the tentacles blocking its way broke one after another.

"So strong!"

Carl's eyelids twitched:

"This guy's physical strength is probably no weaker than my own at the fifth level of Holy Demon Transformation. He is indeed a high-ranking follower."

Gods have their own believers, followers (messengers), and sons of God (demigods), among which followers are divided into three levels: upper, middle, and lower.

The strength of the upper-level dependents is mostly at the peak of the second level or even the third level.

Almost the same as Carl.

but……

'This world is limited by the power of laws. No matter how strong your body is, the power you can exert is limited.'

Ten Thousand Buddhas’ Hands—Dragon Subduing Seal!

Dozens of tentacles emerged from the water, forming complex hand seals and striking fiercely towards where Li was.

Seventeenth Style of Divine Martial Arts - Titanium Extreme! "Bang!"

Two powerful men with equally terrifying strength collided on the water, the waves rolled violently, and the surrounding islands were shaking.

"A superior follower!" Li pulled away and flew back, frowning. "Even if it's a superior follower, so what? Abyssal spells have no effect on me. After all, my physical strength is still a level stronger than mine."

“Kill you!”

"It will also please the Creator!"

“Clatter…”

The water below was swirling, and the Abyss Squid controlled the sea water to rise into the air and cast its sights towards 'Li'.

Indeed.

In terms of physical strength, he is slightly inferior to the opponent.

Even the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hands, although more sophisticated and varied in moves, is not as violent and direct as the opponent's Divine Martial Arts.

Plus the spiritual secrets are ineffective...

"pity!"

"I'm still a wizard!"

The tentacles swayed, the water flowed wildly, and at the same time countless thunders fell from the sky and blasted towards the other side.

"die!"

Lei, restrain the opponent!

Wizards are travelers on the path of pursuing truth. They may not be the strongest, but they have the strongest spirit of exploration.

In the brief fight just now, Carl had secretly performed various detection spells and various secret techniques.

Already found the opponent's weakness.

"boom!"

“Crack…”

soon.

Source +14 The squid transformed by Carl rises and falls with the sea water, and the injuries on his body recover quickly with the nourishment of the water flow.

Awareness is directed to the data panel.

Name: Carl

Physical fitness: 31 Mental strength: 23 Essence: 25 Level: Second-order Holy Knight, Second-ring Wizard

Abyss blood fusion degree: 58%. When killing the fire demon Wells, the energy core of the Son of God integrated into his heart provided more than twenty points of source essence.

This brings Carl's physical fitness up to 31.

Now.

After killing the evil god's followers twice, the source quality reaches 25 points again, which can increase the value of a single item by 2.5.

Where to add? Carl thought.

If he was in the magic forest, he would definitely add mental power without hesitation, after all, the power of witchcraft is stronger.

But here.

His strength is limited to the early second stage, and most of the powerful witchcraft cannot be used. However, his physical strength can be brought to the extreme through the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hand.

so……

Increase physical fitness! As soon as the thought came to mind, the data panel changed again.

Name: Carl

Physical fitness: 33.5 Mental strength: 23 Essence: 25 Level: Second-order Holy Knight, Second-ring Wizard

Abyss blood fusion degree: 58%. The endless energy poured into the body, making Carl groan uncontrollably, while the Holy Demon Transformation operated rapidly.

The Holy Demon Transformation was one of those methods that became easier to practice as the practitioner's physique became stronger. I believed that by the time his physique exceeded forty branches, he would be able to cultivate to the sixth level.

Right now.

Silver body!

By then, his physical strength will also increase dramatically, and he can fight against a three-ring wizard at close range with his physical strength alone.

"Chance!"

Carl's thoughts raced:

"Right now, the barrier of the Moon Goddess has not completely collapsed, so it is difficult for the gods to enter. They can only send their followers in first to harvest faith and collect essence."

"I can take this opportunity to kill them and obtain essence, which can directly increase my strength."

After only two waves, I harvested 25 source points.

If you continue...

It is not impossible to become a third-level forbidden knight, or even a demigod. Then, will he still have to be afraid of the wizards of the Green family?

Hmm...

Unless the Green family will allow a four-ring wizard to come to the magical forest.

"Ha ha!"

Carl returned to his original form and couldn't help laughing up to the sky: "It's like when you're at the end of your rope, there's always a way out. This is a great opportunity for me."

"that is……"

"It's not difficult to kill lower- and middle-rank followers, but there are still some risks in hunting down higher-rank followers. If you are unlucky enough to encounter the Son of God, you will probably have no choice but to run for your life."
