Chapter 371: The Birth of the Half Bitwall
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Darkness, nothingness, silence.
The Astral World maintained its usual state as if it was eternal. However, a giant beast on a long journey broke the eternal tranquility of the Astral World. It was a huge transparent worm with a body the size of a continent. At its core, there seemed to be a silver whirlpool revolving.
Wherever it went, it left traces of dimensional folds. One breath or one movement could set off an Elemental Wave that could spread over millions of kilometers. Inside the wave, an Astral World meteorite was born, accompanied by a special Astral World creature.
A unique Energy Creature emerged from the huge Elemental Wave. It only possessed faint awareness and it followed the footprints of the Chaos Worm instinctively. There was also some unique Liquid Vitality hidden within the Astral World meteorite.
Hence, when the Chaos Worm passed through the Astral World, there was a long tail of Elemental Waves with Astral World meteorites and Astral World creatures following close behind. It had formed the beautiful scenery of the Astral World.
Bang!
When the giant Astral World Chaos Worm arrived, it stopped in its track, its whole body melting little by a little, and the brilliance from the explosion of the inner silver whirlpool enveloped everything around it.
The Astral World Chaos Worm was slowly dying, its original shell turning into layers of dimensional folds that wrapped around its insides and formed a mini bitwall. It was the death of an Astral World Chaos Worm that hadn't yet matured, so it formed a half bitwall instead of a full bitwall.
The silver whirlpool inside the original Astral World Chaos Worm condensed rapidly after the explosion and gradually formed a floating island within the half bitwall.
A special fluorescent organism was also formed in the half bitwall that filled the half bitwall like a massive silver yarn. It emitted a silver glow and illuminated the entire half bitwall. The long tail of Elemental Waves behind the original Astral World Chaos Worm crashed into the half bitwall immediately.
Many groups of special Energy Vitality, Liquid Vitality, and Gaseous Vitality also bolted into the thin half bitwall, and after a long time of being lost and floating, all of them fell into the interior of the half bitwall.
Lu Zhiyu appeared and stood on the floating island of the half bitwall. Floating islands like this one could be seen everywhere in the half bitwall.
"In the long course of evolution, have there been distortions and things went astray?"
Lu Zhiyu walked through the half bitwall which hadn't yet fully evolved and formed. He observed everything around him and could see that the Chaos Worm had completely died. It hadn't successfully evolved into a world, so it couldn't be re-nurtured from the end of that world at the time of its demise. This was the very end of its life.
"The evolution of the Chaos Worms is also risky. To surpass the others by evolving to its final stage would take to long, especially when all kinds of accidents can happen to it at any time."
"This place has no sun, but there are special fluorescent organisms. What an interesting half bitwall."
After checking it out, Lu Zhiyu discovered that the failed evolution of the Chaos Worm wasn't caused by external reasons, but by internal reasons. After all, it took ten thousand years for its growth and maturity period. That was too long and tedious for any life form.
And the half bitwall, which was not far away from Maria's World, was influenced by Maria's World and was gradually attracted to Maria's World. The half bitwall was moving towards Maria's World.
That was the first naturally occurring half bitwall of the Astral World. There might be more instances of such a phenomenon in the future. As Lu Zhiyu envisioned it, the Astral World would become increasingly lively.
—
The northern part of the Mara Kingdom stood at the foot of the Andromeda Mountain. There was a small village, Iris Village, in the Bright Plain.
Hundreds of years before, or even a thousand years before, that place wasn't called the Bright Plain. It had been a decaying marsh. However, as more and more people migrated to that place, after hundreds of years of harnessing resources, developing water canals, drawing water in, and cutting down the forests into farmlands, it had developed into what it was now.
It had gradually developed into a natural granary of Mara Kingdom. The food produced by the Bright Plain could feed half of the population of the Mara Kingdom.
With the marsh transformed into a useful farmland and the dark forest removed, brightness enveloped that place. At a glance, one could only see windmills and wheat fields swaying with the wind.
People had gradually forgotten the darkness and terror hidden in the rotten marshes. They had forgotten that this place was once the haunting space for the Dead Spirits and the Undead Wizards. They had even forgotten that the King of the Dead who once walked down the Andromeda Mountain and the Corps of the Undead who occupied the entire land were the ones who had named it the Bright Plain.
Iris Village was a remote village at the foot of the Andromeda Mountain. If one looked up, they could see the beautiful mountains and the snow-covered Andromeda Peak.
The village was far from the heart of the big city and the core areas of the Mara Kingdom. Even the nearest Steam Train Station in Ollie City took three days on foot to reach. That was the only way to go to the city. There was public transportation by Steam Locomotive available every two days. There was no gas, no water supply, and no Alchemy Street Light.
The only Magic Crystal alchemy devices were Crystal Purification Tower and Alchemy Mill. The Crystal Purification Tower was used to control and purify all of the farmland in Iris Village. These ensured the successful harvest of crops for the whole village. The village head controlled the Crystal Purification Tower. Every year, there would be an acting priest from the Church of Light who would inspect the village. The Alchemy Mill belonged to Old Man Brie, his family was the richest in the village.
At night, it was pitch-dark there. The only entertainment was the magic radio that some wealthy people owned. The radio attracted people from the whole village to come listen to it in the town square.
"I really want to go to big cities. I heard that girls in big cities can wear beautiful clothes and skirts, eat all kinds of delicious snacks and food, go to school by car in the morning, and dance with friends in the evening at a ball. Wow!"
"I want to be a girl in a big city!"
Alice often went to the forests of the Andromeda Mountain to collect firewood. She sometimes sat beside a tree stump and looked at the wheat fields under the mountains and imagined things like all the other country girls would. She would be thinking about the life of the city girls living lives like princesses.
She was a girl born to a peasant family in the mountain, but now she lived with her sister and brother-in-law after her father's death. But her brother-in-law always looked at her with an odd expression, especially as she grew up to be a beautiful girl.
In the original Andromeda Mountain, there were dangerous beasts, even magical beasts, and ghosts. But with the collapse of the King of the Dead, Adenos, the Faith of the Sun, The Church of Light, and the Mara Kingdom sent several groups of priests and Holy Knights to clean up the entire Andromeda Mountain from corner to corner. And all the beings associated with the dead were cleared out. Even ordinary magical beasts and beasts were removed.
Hence, it was rare to see any beasts there anymore. It was a very safe area. Men and women in the village would often go up to the mountains alone to pick wild fruits and firewood to cook with.
"Ah!"
When Alice stood up, she accidentally cut herself on the sharp branches under her feet, leaving a large wound. Alice squatted down in pain, and her blood flowed directly onto the tangled roots and through the cracks in the tree.
Her blood was dripped onto a corpse buried under the tree, a corpse that had been in sleep for an unknown length of time. Blood dripped down the roots and into its eyes. The corpse was clutching a heavy black book with a metal cover and a few big letters carved in bronze. The title –"Book of the Undead."
That book was what countless Ghost Wizards were fanatically looking for. The Faith of the Sun and The Church of Light wanted to destroy it. It was the legendary Book of the Undead by Adenos. It recorded all the exceptional Ghost Witchcraft performed by Adenos and the legendary "Song of the Undead" which could cause the Undead Calamity.
Ta-ta!
The fresh blood appeared like it was dripping on the surface of the water. Like gunpowder that stirred up thousands of waves, layers of black smoke rose from the ground, the clear and cloudless sky transformed into dark clouds all of a sudden, and the Bright Plain under the sky lost its light, covered by darkness.
In hell, riding on the Boat of the Soul was the black-robed ferryman who ferried souls along the River Styx. In the dark waters of the Styx, the dead struggled painfully in the river without an end. The faintly illuminated Boat of the Soul was traveling silently. No souls dared to look directly at the ferryman or the lights on his boat.
At that moment, the ferryman, without any expression, suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky of Hell. His eyes seemed to penetrate through the sun of the underworld, through all Nine Levels of Hell, and he saw the earth in an instant.
Adenos didn't know how long he had slept or how many dead souls he had brought over on the Styx. At that moment, he instantly recalled all his memories, his past lives, and his teachers Bohr and Edward.
He was the prince of the Mara Kingdom, the first Ghost Wizard, and the King of the Dead.
He could almost see the sunshine of the human world. It was so resplendent, so beautiful, Adenos was overly excited, and his whole body was burning with Undead Flame. The bandages on his body all burned up in an instant and ignited all the water of Styx.
The whole river was devoured by the Undead Flame and Adenos turned to ashes within them. In that fire, he got rid of the shackles of the Styx, the shackles of hell, and the identity of the ferryman.
At the speed of light, herds of Deathbringers with soul sickles arrived, and a huge Divine Shadow emerged from the deepest part of hell to look at the Boat of Soul and the fire above the Styx.
"Suicide?"
Before Cetisius became the demi-emperor of the Death Underworld Sector, the ferryman of Styx was already there to lead the dead. Even when he first saw the God of Death in the Death Underworld Sector, that ferryman was also the one who personally led him. At that time, the horrifying ferryman of the Styx left a deep impression on his mind.
No one knew the ferryman's identity or origin, and his sudden self-immolation deeply puzzled Cetisius. But after the Undead Flame extinguished, no information could be found regarding the Styx's ferryman. His origin wasn't recorded in the Book of the Dead which Cetisius was holding onto. He only knew that the ferryman was punished by the gods and had to remain forever on the Styx as a ferryman who couldn't have any memories.
"Maybe he had a sudden moment of realization and chose to die instead of face his desperate situation!"
"But what happens to the souls when there's no ferryman? Some important souls and beings still needed him to lead them in!"
Cetisius flipped through the Book of the Dead and then circled one of the names with a goose brush, "I'll pick you! Lynn Ahenaten! You're the next ferryman!"
Sealed in the deepest part of the underworld, according to the rules of hell, Lynn Ahenaten became the new master of the Styx. His memory was erased, like those of all his predecessors. He went and stood on the Boat of the Soul.
Lynn Ahenaten, dressed in a black robe, looked into the distance, bewildered. It took a long time for him to steer the Boat of the Soul towards the gates of hell instinctively.
There was a new arrival of souls that needed him to bring them over. That was his duty as the master and ferryman of the Styx.
Cetisius nodded, satisfied, and watched Lynn Ahenaten go far away into the distance before he returned to the Temple of the Death God and began his complex and repetitive work. Those groups of Deathbringers gathered around the Styx dispersed in an instant.
At the foot of the Andromeda Mountain, green flames erupted in the eyes of an ancient undead being embracing the Book of the Undead. He climbed out of his grave.

Chapter 372: The Evil Spirit That Escaped From Hell
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Mr… Skeleton, I've bought the tickets, where are we going now?"
"We're going to Babus, making a detour, and taking an airship to head over to the Exotic Kingdom of Hollyma!"
"Why are we going there?"
Alice was a little scared, but she felt a little more curiosity than fear when she was looking at Adenos. The world had been peaceful for a long time. For most people, the legends of the undead and Ghost Wizard belonged to centuries long ago. Wizards, the undead, demons, and devils belonged to their great-great-great-grandfathers… that was what they had gone through.
Adenos was wearing a wig, mask, gloves, and top hat and was reading a local daily newspaper. During his long hiatus, the world had undergone tremendous changes. The wizards had disappeared, the gods had sanctified the Divine Kingdom, and supernatural power was seen everywhere. Even ordinary people could use the divine artifacts of Magic Crystals and alchemy devices to exhibit extraordinary power.
Adenos, who was freed from the Song of the Undead and the erosion of innumerable dead spirits, he had recovered his senses from his previous madness. Back when he was in hell, as the master of the Styx, it had some effects on him too. After he had retrieved all his memories, he had become more composed and restrained.
Adenos looked at Alice and said as if amused by her naive question, "Why? Because! The master of the night is now at his weakest!"
"But that's God, an eternal God!" Alice felt that what Mr. Skeleton said was a little dreadful. He sounded like a devil that was going to bring extinction to the human race, just like one in an epic novel.
"Only those who die completely will truly be eternal!" Adenos sneered.
Adenos discovered that the girl who had activated his undead identity was actually a member of the Monar Family. She had the same face as Adenos's sister, Esha Monar.
It was her blood, which had the same origin as Adenos', that stimulated his soul and awakened it from its deep sleep. But the present Monar Family had declined and faded out of its place of prominence. The royal family of the Union of the Mara Kingdom no longer belonged to the Monar Family. The Monar family since Adenos's sister, Esha Monar, had become the Queen had taken a sudden turn for the worst.
"They're indeed a bunch of good-for-nothings. They even lost the throne!" Adenos crossed his legs. He had a cold look on his face as he stared indifferently at the historical records of the Monar Royal Family.
Alice felt that Mr. Skeleton liked to brag. Every single time when he spoke, he always talked about the royal family, the gods, the ancient mythological heroes, and most importantly, that all of them were insignificant in his eyes. He labeled them as worthless and good-for-nothings.
"Excuse me! Mr. Skeleton, it's not right to speak ill of our ancestors behind their backs!"
Adenos looked up at Alice through his white mask. Alice swallowed her saliva and dared not say another word.
"That was scary!"
They took the Steam Locomotive all the way to Ollie City, and then they took the Steam Train to Babus City, the capital of Mara Kingdom. After stopping in Babus City and making a big purchase, Alice followed Adenos onto an airship which crossed the Kingdom of Rosa d'Oro and the Black Forest and arrived at the Kingdom of Hollyma in the Exotic Kingdom.
Alice, who had never left her hometown, felt that to travel like this was a once in a lifetime adventure. Mr. Skeleton looked terrible, talked terribly, and he was really harsh and indifferent. But she felt that Mr. Skeleton was a good person.
Mr. Skeleton seemed to have been an esteemed noble in his lifetime and had left behind many treasures. Alice had never seen so many gold and silver treasures, nor had she ever thought that one could be so rich that he could afford to buy the whole world.
They were in a first-class seat on the most luxurious Platinum Train traveling along the coast. Alice was enjoying the red wine and beef from St. Sarl City and admiring the view of the sea.
The dreamy capital of the Mara Kingdom, Babus, and the excessive purchases left Alice dizzy. Although Mr. Skeleton said he wanted her to help him buy books, all kinds of history books, books about gods, the history of various churches, the history of other continents and national records, he didn't restrict Alice from buying other things. Hence, Alice was excitedly buying all the clothes, skirts, and hats she wanted.
"Ah! It feels so good to be rich! Long live Mr. Skeleton!"
Alice felt that she had never been so happy in her life. It was as if gold coins were constantly raining down before her eyes.
She accompanied Mr. Skeleton to the church of the Goddess of Light in the Mara Kingdom to pay their respects. Although she thought it strange that a skeleton was worshiping the Goddess of Light.
"Even if he's a skeleton, he might have been a believer in the Goddess of Light before he died. In that case, doesn't it all make sense?"
But Adenos didn't mean to worship the Goddess of Light at all. Instead, he stood in front of the archangel, Faross, for the whole day.
It was Alice's first time riding on an airship. When she looked down from above, she could feel her wobbly legs. She lay on the window for almost half a day and couldn't stand up. She had been worrying the whole time that the airship might fell from the sky, until Mr. Skeleton scornfully said, "What a fool."
Alice rested stubbornly on the window, and then she went to the airship's sky corridor for a walk which allowed her to overcome her fear of heights.
The Kingdom of Hollyma was a country in the Exotic Kingdom. Its customs, architecture, and beliefs were very different from those of the Kingdom of the Church of Light. They liked to build with boulders. Because of the hot weather, they liked to wear simple, short, and comfortable clothes. However, with the advent of the Magic Crystal Era and the dramatic development of trade and commerce, the situation there was also changing. It was gradually homogenized by the outside world.
People here believed in the master of the night. They believed that night was the symbol of god. They were used to praying in the night, they liked the color black, and symbols of the moon were a common sight.
On the first day of Adenos's arrival, he entered the Night Temple of the master of the night. The statue that was once broken had been rebuilt, but there were no longer the spiritual tension and divine aura it once had.
Adenos didn't behave as he had at the church of the Goddess of Light. Instead, he spoke to Alice in front of the statue of the master of the night.
"You know what? In our times, there were no gods!"
Alice didn't believe it, "What? There were no gods? How is that possible? All gods have been worshipped by human beings since ancient times, and they've been passed down from the past!"
Adenos laughed, and his laughter sounded as if his teeth were clattering, which was a little dreadful. "Of course, because there was only one real faith at that time, called the Church of Light, and there was only one God who really proved the existence of God!"
"He was the Great Angel of Balance, Faross!"
When he talked about it, Adenos suddenly had a profound fear and dread revealed his eyes. He didn't know what he was afraid of, whether it was the name or the truth behind the name.
It took Adenos a long time to recover from his fear, and he scoffed at all the gods that came up later, "None of you know the naked truth of this world, that everything in this world was made under false pretense; everyone lives in a game of fraud!"
"I want to leave this world and advance to another Kingdom, the Abyss World! I need to break away from the shackles down here! But before that, I need to offer sacrifices to it. Even if I become a demon, I must be the strongest one! I'm Adenos. This sacrificial offering, of course, it must be… a little more grandiose."
Hidden behind the mask, Adenos's fleshless mouth was split and cracked into a frenzied smile.

Chapter 373: A Young Girl as the High Priest
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"In the name of God, the master of the night, the supreme ruler of the Star Kingdom, the divine guardian of the night and dreams, you're the newly appointed Pope of the Church of the Dark Night!"
"You're in control of the power of God! You're leading all living beings on behalf of God!"
A seemingly young and tender girl was dressed in a magnificent black robe, she was wearing the crown of the Pope, and being worshipped by a cardinal priest dressed in the red robe of the Church of the Dark Night. He knelt on the ground with the Pope's staff, waiting for the newly appointed Pope of the Church of the Dark Night to accept her power.
"The sun will eventually set, only the night will last forever!"
"The sun will eventually set, only the night will last forever!"
With the roar of that watchword, all the priests of the Church of the Dark Night hysterically followed suit, tens of thousands of people gathered there to shout the standard watchword of Church of the Dark Night. It ignited the whole city.
"The eternal master of the night! You're the only indispensable being in the world…" Sacred and melodious songs, with the recitation of the choir, brought the whole city humming together, singing praises of the great master of the night.
In the Biketo City of the Kingdom of Hollyma, the town square of the Night Temple and the high stairway were filled with priests serving the master of the night. On the stage, there were the kings of the Kingdom of Hollyma, the Puvant City, the Roman City, and other kings from the Exotic Kingdom. They were all dressed in magnificent clothing. There were also groups of nobles and those who had a prestigious status, saints, clergy members, and the ruling class.
At that moment, all were kneeling at the feet of the new Pope of the Church of the Dark Night. Even if she was just an ordinary-looking girl, at that moment, she represented the god.
The young girl sat on her divine throne and looked blankly at everything below. It seemed that a new world had opened its doors to her and enabled her to see the most astonishing side of the world.
"I'm the High Priest!"
There was only excitement on her face, but she had completely no idea what throne she was sitting on, or what the position meant, or what responsibilities she had to bear.
Over the town square, the convoy of chariots of the Kingdom of Hollyma passed by. Soldiers lined up with flags and their guns fired into the sky. The latest Battle Airships soared over the sky above the town square. The fleet was arranged in rows or in a herringbone pattern as it moved forward. Airships could be seen parked in the sky everywhere in the city, they were watching out for anything abnormal in the city, while also hanging a banner to congratulate the newly appointed Pope.
Military music was played from morning till night, with orchestras and theatrical companies from all over the world performing in the town square.
The High Priest previously serving the master of the night had died suddenly, and it was a fifteen-year-old girl who inherited his supreme power. Over a very short period of time, three High Priests had been replaced, which was unusual for the Church of the Dark Night.
Was there anything crazier than a mere fifteen-year-old girl becoming High Priest and therefore the supreme ruler of the entire Exotic Kingdom and the Kingdom of Hollyma? The latest news about the new High Priest of the Church of the Dark Night was all over the newspapers and radio stations across the Alen Continent.
"A fifteen-year-old young girl becomes the Pope of the Church of the Dark Night!"
"Young Female High Priest takes over the supreme power of the Exotic Kingdom!"
"The transition of power in the Exotic Kingdom, the successor…!"
Such news could be heard everywhere in the world. After all, although the Exotic Kingdom wasn't the most powerful kingdom in the Alen Continent, the Kingdom of Hollyma wasn't weak, and the Church of the Dark Night was the orthodox belief of the entire Exotic Kingdom, so it was in charge of the destiny of tens of millions of people.
That evening, when the coronation ceremony ended and Alice returned to the Pope's palace, she was divorced from all the excitement and thrill she had felt before. She was now trembling with fear.
"Mr. Skeleton! What we're doing now, this is… isn't this blasphemous?"
Sitting in front of the window, a gentleman in a mask and suit who looked like a doll turned around and asked, "Blasphemous?"
Adenos was sitting in a chair, remorseless, his head tilted to one side, the skull under his mask revealing an odd expression. It was without skin and flesh, but he was obviously laughing, "Wrong, it's not blasphemous, what I wanted is… kill the god!"
He stood up and gestured toward the window, as if he was embracing the world, or as if he was devouring the world.
"Abandon that pitiable awe and revere of yours! Nothing is nobler than ourselves! Nothing is more formidable than our own will! As long as we've enough courage, and possess an imagination beyond the ordinary, we can accomplish all the impossible things!"
Adenos preached his ideology, for him it was a belief he had carried with him right from the beginning. No one could be as blasphemous as he was, no one could be more audacious than him, no one had a greater imagination than him.
But Alice only felt fear when she saw Adenos acting like a tyrant. Adenos found himself facing that simple child-like girl from a peasant family, so unlike a king even though she was wearing a crown. Suddenly, he felt a little tender-hearted.
"Ridiculous! Laughable! What's the matter with me? Are you old? Old? Lacking in enthusiasm? How could you be soft-hearted?"
Adenos mocked at himself in his heart, but he soon realized that he was indeed soft-hearted. When he killed his father and brother but left his sister, Esha, alive, he was soft-hearted then. When he looked at Alice, who had the same face as his sister, he could still remember her after such a long time. Adenos suddenly cherished the memory of everything he was familiar with.
"Sleep, just treat it as game or a dream! I'll arrange everything! And you, just have your fair share of fun, that's more than enough!"
Adenos looked out of the window. The world outside the window hadn't changed. But Adenos saw the power and presence of the abyss surging over the land he was on.
In order to kill a True God, unless a person erased the whole world along with the God, that person would never be able to remove the imprint of the God from the world or the imprint between the God and his believers.
It was almost impossible to kill a True God who was sunk in sleep and waiting to be reborn. It wasn't difficult to destroy him, but it was hard to kill him completely. Adenos was once the Seventh-Grade King of the Dead of the Mythical Beings, a mythical creature specializing in the soul. For any beings on the Mythical Level, with the exception of Gods, he was more well-versed in them than anyone else.
Adenos knew that it was absolutely impossible to kill a True God with his own power, but what if he borrowed the power of another world? Would the power of an entire world kill a True God? Moreover, what if it was the legendary powerful and terrible Abyss World? It was a crazy idea that would make anyone turn pale, but Adenos dared to think of it, he dared to work it out and had the ability to do it.
Adenos never wanted to inherit the priesthood of the master of the night, but he wanted to sacrifice the master of the night as an offering to the Abyss World, sacrificing a True God to it. He would then have the ability to become the devil monarch of the Abyss World.
Such an idea was impossible if it was targeted at the True God who overlooked all the living beings in the Divine Kingdom. At the very moment he initiated his attack, he would suffer a full blow from the True God. But for the master of the night, he was one of the three gods of civilization, a god who was in the rebirth stage would be different. He, who was sunk in deep sleep, had no ability to resist any attacks. He had even lost the ability to cry for help.
Adenos's plan, right from the beginning, targeted the former High Priest. He had killed the Pope because he was in the way. Adenos was the Seventh-Grade King of the Dead who had been the master of the Styx for many years, so it was easy for him to plan the murder of a High Priest serving a God with a weakening divine power. It was not difficult for him.
Later, Adenos seized the Candle of the Night, a divine artifact of the master of the night that was carried by the High Priest. That was also an important factor in the sustainability of the Church of the Dark Night since the master of the night had sunk in his deep sleep. That divine artifact was a part of the divine power.
By offering sacrifices to the abyss and borrowing the devil's power from the abyss, Adenos would degenerate into an abyss seedling, and the abyss devil's power would soak up the Candle of the Night and became a devil's weapon. Through the devil's Candle of the Night, priests who served under the master of the night would be eroded. At the same time, under the Biketo City, a Talos Door would open up. This would be the legendary Abyss Door.
"As the priesthood of the master of the night is dragged into the abyss bit by bit, every priest actually has a tiny part of the god. When they all transform into abyss seedlings, and when they return to the Divine Kingdom, they'll pollute the core of the divinity. All I need is a grand sacrificial ceremony, and a massive number of degenerated priests!"
"Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of priests will return to the Divine Kingdom together, and then the last one dragged into the abyss is…"
Adenos could picture that wonderful scene.
But all of that must be done behind the curtain and not be found out by anyone. But he was relatively safe, the Exotic Kingdom was a closed and independent country, and the master of the night was a God who couldn't defend himself, a God sunk in a deep sleep.

Chapter 374: Deicide
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
A young man covered in scars and bruises crawled along the coast of a small town in the Kingdom of Rosa d'Oro. It was a lively town, with neat streets, tall lighthouses, concrete docks, and small steamships.
The local fishermen found him severely injured and dying. They immediately realized that something was unusual about him. The man's robe was ragged, but one could still recognize it as a robe from the Church of the Dark Night.
The priest was covered in blood. Black veins were twisted together in his arm. A giant eye grew out of his chest. The black pupil trembled and moved constantly as if it was sizing up every individual on the shore.
"Devil! Devil!" a fisherman screamed with great fear. He stumbled backward off the ship and fell into the water.
"It's the eye of the devil! Do not look! Do not look!" The crowd dispersed.
"Go find Sir Ankeru, now!"
When Ankeru, a priest of the Church of Light, finally arrived, the young priest of the Church of the Dark Night was trembling and vomiting something black and foul-smelling. The afflicted young man clenched an exquisite silver wand in one hand. It was the status symbol for red cardinal bishops of the Church of the Dark Night.
"I am…the high priest of the Church of the Dark Night, following Bishop Arthas…"
The dying man leaned against the posts on the dock, confessing to Ankeru!
Ankeru greatly feared the power of the devil spreading through the air. He was merely an apprentice priest who had never seen anything so evil. The demon power within this man was about to break out.
"Almighty Goddess, I am calling your name, please give me your power…" Ankeru murmured.
Ankeru could feel his legs are quivering with fear. A level-three official priest was in front of him, using his last of his strength to suppress the power within him. Ankeru hoped that with the power of the light, he could control the demon within the priest's body. He could sense that, if the power broke out, no one on the scene would survive. The priest was a powerful clergy member, and at this moment, he was struggling under the demon's attack.
"Demon…demon…evil is ruling the entire Hollyma Kingdom! The Church of the Dark Night…has…has fallen…Everyone turned into apostles of demons! That man… that man has resurrected… The King of the Dead…Ado…nis…has come back…The fearful being has emerged from the abyss! He wants…he wants…" the possessed priest mumbled.
Ankeru was holding the sigil of the sun and activating the divine power within it. However, it was only a small comfort. Ankeru gulped when he heard the terrifying news and the name of Adonis. The representation of death and terror in countless fairy tales and myths, the origin of sins and evil, the damned soul sent to hell by God, had come back to the world.
"What…does he want?" Ankeru asked, his hands trembling as he held the sigil of the sun.
The priest of the Church of the Dark Night clawed at the dock. The power within his fingers sunk into the ground beneath him. The ground cracked and spread out more than 10 meters. It seemed that he could no longer bear the torture.
"He wants…" The young priest looked to Ankeru with his blood-red eyes and said, "He wants…deicide!"
At that very moment, the darkness in his veins climbed up to his face. His eyes turned pure black instantly, and he burst into laughter.
"Too late, too late, it's already too late! He has only one last step left!"
The power of the abyss spread out from his body, burning the ground around him. Then in the next moment, the priest of the Church of the Dark Night awakened and used the forbidden witchcraft of the Church of the Dark Night, Soul Flame, to ignite his soul and all his powers, giving up all chance of redemption and entering the divine kingdom, and perished together with the demon.
"Spread my word! I hope it's not too late! No, no, it's already too late!" the priest of the Dark Night screamed.
He lingered for a moment in pain, despair clouding his face. He slowly burned into ashes, along with the demon from the abyss, perishing with painful screams.
Everyone was silent. Everyone at the scene felt that their hearts were about to explode. No one had ever imagined a being so evil, no one had ever heard a tale no horrifying, no one had ever dared to do such sinful deeds. In no stories or tales had anyone ever dared to kill a god.
The shocking news spread out among the priests in town. Before long, airships displaying sigils of light from the Church of Light arrived at the town. The town was locked down by the army.
The news about Adonis' resurrection and the fall of the Kingdom of Hollyma reached the pope of the Galton branch of the Church of Light in the Kingdom of Rosa d'Oro. With no need to look him up in the books, most priests were haunted by their deepest nightmares when they heard the name of Adonis. More importantly, they understood that something unforeseen and horrifying awaited them.
"Disaster, it's definitely going to be a terrible disaster!"
"What should we do? Help the Hollyma Kingdom?"
"Did Hell not realize that such evil had escaped from it?"
"He was a being who once challenged the gods. The King of the Dead who destroyed the Holy Seville Empire with the undead army. The evil god from legends who took the divine artifact from the Goddess of the Night. He now has control of the entire Hollyma Kingdom and even the foreign lands. Help them? How? We should be on the defensive, defending against the evil army which could rush out of the foreign lands at any time."
"What is he going to do? Did you see that? Deicide…deicide…he is going to kill a god, even if it's a pagan god!"
In the divine hall, the powerful priests fell into chaos.
The pope of the Galton branch of the Church of Light made up his mind and said, "An evil god who has escaped from hell can only be judged by the gods. Send a message to the other churches through the magic transceivers. In the meantime, perform the divine ritual of prayers immediately. I wish to ask God what we should do."
As the news of the change in the foreign lands spread out across the Alen continent like an unstoppable flood, Adonis' plan had reached its last step.
—
In the foreign lands of the Hollyma Kingdom, priests of the Church of the Dark Night, kings, and nobles crowded the streets of Biketo City.
The city was in a frenzy. It had fallen under an abnormal, manic tide of fearful reverence. Day and night, everyone prayed nonstop. In churches, royal palaces, streets, and alleyways, frantic believers kneeled on the ground, chanting prayers.
Tents and temporary buildings were popping up everywhere in the city. Craftsmen, farmers, fishermen, and factory workers from all kingdoms gathered here, knelt on the ground, and faced the city.
In front of the Church of the Dark Night, all streets and areas surrounding the divine palace were filled with the clergy of the Church of the Dark Night. All the clergy from foreign lands gathered here in a hurry, searching for the reason why their power had faded, for the reason of their pain, and for their redemption.
The reason was that the day belonged to their god. It was the day of resurrection of the great Ruler of the Night, and he would finally return from the dark night.
Adonis was wearing a red priest robe and the Mask of the Moon, standing next to the Alice, the pope of the Church of the Dark Night, holding high the Candle of the Night, the church's divine artifact, looking down on everyone below.
In his eyes, every individual was completely swallowed by the power of the dark abyss. They believed that it was because of the resurrection of their god that their powers were weakened. However, it was actually the power of the abyss spreading through the system of the divine power of the Ruler of the Night, even spreading to the Ruler of the Night himself.
"Let us pray to the great Ruler of the Night! We are calling your divine name. You are the ruler of the night, the controller of stars and dreams… We long to enter your kingdom, enjoy immortality and…" Adonis chanted.
Adonis howled and cheered until his voice reached every corner of the city. He sounded so faithful, but no one could see the evil, manic smile of the skull behind the mask.

Chapter 375: Deicide (continued)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Hearing the calls of the crowds and the prayers of believers, the enormous Star Kingdom moved closer and closer to the ground out of the dark night sky over the Kingdom Hollyma.
The divine kingdom of the master of the night was never so close to the mortal world as it was at this moment. It seemed to be within one's touch if they stood on high grounds.
"We call your sacred name. You are the master of the night, the controller of stars and dreams… We long to enter your kingdom, to enjoy immortality and…"
All the believers repeatedly chanted the same prayer. With the Star Kingdom approaching, the silver stars started to form patterns in the sky. One could even faintly see the inside of the divine kingdom.
Such a view drove all into a frenzy. Many did not even realize that darkness had swallowed them. Countless believers were assimilated by the power of the abyss by their prayers.
"God! I can see, I can see it now! Your angles have come for me!"
A priest of the Church of the Dark Night stood up all of a sudden. A black vortex rushed to him. His body was taken by darkness and transformed into a black shadow. It rose into the sky following the dreamy starlight and entered the kingdom of the master of the night.
"Look! It's a miracle! The Kingdom of God is welcoming his believers!" Other priests saw what had happened, and jealousy kindled within them.
"The heavenly doors are open for us!" Commoners outside the city were tearing up. They all wished that it was they who had risen up to heaven. They kept hitting their foreheads against the ground madly, not stopping even when blood dripped from their foreheads.
Adonis laughed even louder. He opened his palms, his face distorted. His body twisted and quivered from his laughter, almost like a puppet. However, no one's attention was on him, as all were distracted by the Star Kingdom in the sky and the shadows entering the divine kingdom.
"Hah hah hah…Come…come…come! Pray to God! God shall be awakened from sleep. He is calling his believers! His most faithful children! Tonight, the doors of heaven are open to everyone! As long as you are truly faithful!" shouted Adonis.
With Adonis's words, many of the clergy members were swallowed by darkness one after another, transforming into evil shadows of the abyss. They rushed to the Star Kingdom in the sky and became part of the kingdom of the master of the night.
"Hah hah hah hah! That's right! That's right!" Adonis laughed so hard that he could barely straighten his body!
"Go! Go!" he screamed madly. Standing in the hall of the Divine Palace of the Church of the Dark Night and looking down the stairs, he saw countless people below. In Adonis' eyes, they were countless foolish idiots.
It was a dreamland. The night was quiet, the stars glimmering. Clouds danced on the wind, lively and whimsical. Stars intertwined with the clouds. Countless bubbles floated through the air. In each bubble, there was a unique scene. Happy dreams, horrifying nightmares. They were the dreams of the living.
The Kingdom of God, a magnificent palace was built on starry clouds. There should be many followers and believers there, but now they were all trapped in their sleep. A dream bubble inside the palace was breathing and swelling as if it was incubating something within.
When the many evil shadows of the abyss rushed into it, the bubble burst. The beautiful divine kingdom of the master of the night was tainted with blackness. Darkness had invaded the palace.
The crowd on the square did not notice a thing. They had lost their minds.
Everyone had lost their sanity. One by one, they all turned into evil shadows of the abyss and rushed into the divine kingdom in the sky. One, two, three, ten thousand, and then a hundred thousand!
All believed that their god was awakened and that the heavenly doors were opening for them. They did not know that they were turning the divine kingdom of the master of the night into an abyss, contaminating the origin of the master of the night, and dragging the master of the night into the abyss of annihilation and no return.
The sacred silver kingdom gradually turned black. Darkness entered from below, covering the entire star.
A black star breathing the horrifying power of the abyss emerged in the sky of the Hollyma Kingdom
The young pope sitting on the stage, Alice, sensed the abnormality. All the people in Biketo and the Hollyma Kingdom had gone crazy. Darkness and horror abounded. She held Adonis' hand in fear.
"Mr. Skeleton! Stop! Stop this!" begged Alice.
Adonis turned his head. His frantic smile faded and he said, "Don't fear. It's almost over. Just one last step! Do as I asked, and take the name 'God of the Night. Alice, believe in your power, and you shall be the next master of the night!"
All the believers in the square turned into evil shadows of the abyss and entered the divine kingdom. From the streets, shadows flew into the sky on starlight. The crowded Divine Palace of the Dark Night became less and less crowded until there was not a single person left.
On the stage, kings, nobles, and so-called descendants of god all turned into evil shadows of the abyss, taken by the darkness.
When Adonis said those words, the square was infected by the power of the abyss. Something seemed to have risen from the underground, and the entire square was taken over by the abyss' power.
Huge, diamond-like crystals rose from underground, devouring everything around them. Matter, air, even light. It was the Talos Door summoned by Adonis.
The entrance to abyss emerged from the underground. Black swirls filled the sky over Biketo City, devouring everything, and moving toward the Star Kingdom in the sky.
At the same time, in the darkened Star Kingdom, the master of the night was sleeping in his palace. He also sensed grave danger. The palace collapsed and crumbled. The divine kingdom slowly turned into an abyss. Countless evil shadows from the abyss flew into the palace and became part of the core of the sleeping master of the night.
Only a few in the city escaped from the frenzy. They stared at the black star in the sky, the opened entrance to the abyss, and the mad commoners around them taken over by evil.
"What is this? What have we done?" a young girl shouted. She stared at the entrance to the abyss floating in the sky and collapsed to the ground.
"God! What are we doing?" Commoners looked at the evil shadows flying toward the divine kingdom. Nothing but fear was on their faces.
"Who are we praying to? God, or demon?"
"Run! Evil has befallen us!"
"It is a setup! It's the evil calling us, and we are all infected by the evil!"
"Darkness and evil haunt this place. Death haunts this place!"
The city fell into chaos. Staring at the giant entrance to the abyss in the sky above them, despair consumed everyone. People fled, struggling to escape this city which was now under the control of the power of the abyss.
"It's my time now!" said Adonis, glancing down at the lost commoners who were running around and screaming for help in the city.
Adonis ripped off his disguise and robe, turning into a pillar of fire. The roaring flames of the mutated devil fire rose into the sky.
Black flames spun and danced around him, then transformed into a skeleton of dark flames. He became part of the giant swirl at the entrance to the abyss, staring at the Star Kingdom in the sky with cupidity.
Adonis had fully become one with the abyss, and he no longer suppressed his power. Leveling up from a level-six to a level-seven mythical being, transforming into the King of the Dead, Adonis rose again. He did not care about the pressure and rejection from the origin of the world, as this was his last show, and this would be his last stage.
"The leader has entered the stage! In the next scene, the death of God!" shouted Adonis.
Adonis became one with the entrance to the abyss. Dark tentacles twisted out from the swirl of the abyss, reaching out into the sky, as if they were looking for a sacrifice.

Chapter 376: The Abyss of Freedom?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Boom!"
Giant arms extended from the palace with painful, desperate, and bewildered howling.
"What's going on? What on earth has happened?" asked Louis.
The Master of the Night, Louis, crawled out from the palace where he had been deep in sleep and saw his divine kingdom crumbling and falling apart. Evil shadows of the abyss were searching for the origin and rushing toward him to erode his body. Louis' body was slowly being devoured by the power of the abyss.
"No! No! What is this? Abyss? How could my believers become creatures of the abyss?" screamed Louis.
Evil shadows of the abyss merged together like a river and poured into Louis' body. The entire divine kingdom collapsed and fragmented. The sleeping and praying believers fell and vanished together with the kingdom.
"Impossible! Who? Who on earth?" Louis roared.
The enormous divine body of the Master of the Night struggled out of the Star Kingdom. From the ground, one could see that a divine shadow thousands of miles long had escaped from the star and was looking down to the earth.
Louis immediately saw the giant entrance to the abyss on the ground, the Hollyma Kingdom haunted by darkness, and Adonis, who had become a part of the entrance to the abyss, staring at Louis with eyes full of greed.
"You! Who are you? Do you know what you are doing? Are you challenging a true god?" Louis demanded.
Louis realized he was being completely assimilated into the abyss. The power of abyss has reached his core, and his divine personality, divine duty, and divine power, which were all part of his core, were rejecting him and slowly breaking away from his divine body.
"My divine personality? My divine power? By the name of a true god, activate the world rules! By the name of the master of the night, summon…" roared Louis.
He realized that his howling could not activate any of the world rules. It seemed he had been transformed into a creature of the abyss and was being rejected by the world.
What was more terrible was that the entrance to the abyss below was sending out a strong eroding power towards him. At the same time, Louis' body felt attracted to it, as if he yearned to entre the abyss and become a part of it.
"No, no! What have you done? What have you done? You filthy, puny insect!" Louis shouted.
Adonis raised his head and looked at the shadow of the true god with disgust, as if the divine noble being was insignificant in his presence. The true god was struggling with fear, rage and panic, almost like a clown to Adonis.
Adonis said, "Puny? Who are you to say such a thing? Who are you? Someone who could only rise when wizards were declining. With no perseverance in the pursuit of truth, no courage to challenge the world, and no extraordinary intelligence, how dare you call yourself a wizard? How sad. After the first- and second-generation wizards all died, the world turned out to be such a tedious place. How could a cowardly, scheming rat become a god? When the wizard system of the undead was created by me?"
"When I rule the kingdom of the dead, the world shall quiver beneath my feet. Then, you will only look at my name with reverence, and tremble and scream at my power."
Louis stared at Adonis in shock. Louis recalled Adonis' name from the old legends and writings.
"Adonis? Adonis? You? How did you escape? How could you escape from hell? Weren't you trapped at the bottom of hell?" Louis asked.
Louis struggled to escape from the attraction of the abyss. He was still slowly dragged out of the Star Kingdom until he fell through the entrance to the abyss. Louis screamed with fear and tried to activate the power of a true god, but he sensed that his connection to the world had weakened.
Devilish flames roared across Adonis' body. He laughed loudly and said, "I did not escape from hell. The Adonis trapped in hell has died, and the Adonis in the mortal world has been resurrected!"
Adonis looked up at the Master of the Night and said, "So, bad day for you. I, Adonis, present a sacrifice to the consciousness of abyss, the true god Louis Biketo, Master of the Night!"
The sound of Adonis' laughter echoed in the sky of Biketo city. As Adonis said these words, dark shadowy tentacles reached out of the entrance of the abyss and grabbed Louis Biketo.
—
In the meantime, stars glimmered in the sky. Ten Star Kingdoms moved closer to the sky over the Hollyma Kingdom from the bitwall.
The other gods seemed to see what had happened. Every god except for the goddesses of Light, Sun, and Death were present, an assembled meeting of gods in the sky above Hollyma. They looked down at the Master of the Night, who was being dragged into the abyss, and Adonis, whose body had half become one with the entrance of abyss and could enter the abyss at any time.
"There is no hope for the Master of the Night! He has been taken by the abyss. Even the world has rejected and given up on him!" said the Goddess of Steam and Machinery, with the tone of sadness.
It chilled all the true gods that a fellow true god had fallen. Even the gods could die. If that was true, then, in this world, what was eternity?
"Blasphemers shall not be forgiven!" The Ruler of Storms was furious. However, he was still constrained by the world rules because he had broken the Agreement of the Gods.
"That's right, blasphemers shall not be forgiven!"
At this moment, a god in the sky started the attack. It was Felix, the God of Earth and War.
A giant divine palm fell from the sky and smashed Biketo City. Just one palm could cover the entirety of Biketo City. Felix was going to crush the entrance to the abyss and strangle Adonis. The power of an awakened true god was apocalyptic.
Adonis finally noticed the stars in the sky. However, he was not fearful or nervous. He laughed and said, "Hah hah hah, everyone's here! What a party!"
At this moment, a giant book opened in the sky and stopped the palm of the God of Earth and War.
"Edward? What are you doing?" asked Felix.
"Let him go! The Master of the Night has fallen. It's better to let them both leave this world!" said Edward.
"It's better to kill them both!"
"I will not allow that!"
"You think I don't know? Adonis and you were both the students of Bohr, the second owner of the tower. You grew up with him!" said Felix.
The God of Earth and War, Felix, and the God of Truth and Knowledge, Edward Kelermo, were arguing intensely. Edward Kelermo insisted that the blasphemer, Adonis, should be let go and allowed to leave this world.
Lights beamed down from the two arguing gods in the sky, shining on the entire Hollyma Kingdom. Night turned into a bright day.
Most of the gods were still waiting and observing since the Master of the Night did not have many allies. At the same time, Adonis, the problem, was about to leave the world, along with the Master of the Night, creating an even bigger problem.
All were concerned about Adonis' apocalyptical power over the undead. They all wished Adonis would just leave this world, since a mythical being, especially someone like the King of the Dead, could hardly be made to leave by force.
"Leave the divine personality!"
"Right, leave the divine personality of the Master of the Night!"
The Goddess of the Sea, Gina, who had been waiting, now made a move. The other gods suddenly understood the situation but were prevented to act by the Goddess of Steam and Machinery. As this was happening, the Master of the Night was dragged into the entrance to the abyss, became part of the consciousness of abyss, and turned into Adonis' sacrifice.
As the entrance to the abyss was destroyed by the Goddess of Seas, the remaining power from the entrance to the abyss faded away because of the world's rejection. As for the divine personality of the Master of the Night, it was lost.
—
Adonis stood before the consciousness of the abyss, the divine personality of the Master of the Night in his hand. He had presented the sacrifice, a true god, and he would be rewarded by the abyss.
As for the divine personality of the Master of the Night, it turned into a normal stone after leaving Maria's World. The world would regenerate. Therefore, it was of no use to Adonis, and it would expire.
Just as they had agreed, when Alice called his true name, Adonis would give the name to her.
"I shall be the next King of the Undead! And I shall leave Maria's World, a prison, a trap, and a game!" Adonis said.
The power of the abyss was an enormous, spinning black hole. Adonis was thrilled.
"At last, I am free! Here! Ah! I can smell the fragrance of freedom! I have finally escaped from this horrifying world and the shadow behind it!"
At that moment, a giant black sphere spinning inside the consciousness of the abyss formed. Silvery light emerged from its center and expanded continuously. A figure appeared.
The figure was wearing a mask with white sigils of the sun on it. The figure carried the power of the entire abyss. The consciousness of the abyss began to put pressure on Adonis. The flames of him giant devilish skeleton dimmed.
Adonis did not even notice that he had dropped the divine personality of the Master of the Night. He stared at the figure in front of him. The figure had emerged out of thin air and made Adonis tremble with fear. It now stood right before his very eyes.
"Oh? Where… do you think you're going?"
The figure with the mask sized Adonis up. Coldness spread across Adonis' body from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. Never in his life had he felt such despair.

Chapter 377: I Am the Star High Above
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Looking at it from afar, in a world of darkness, layers of the abyss surrounded this place in concentric circles. This was the core of the abyss.
There was no gravity, air, or matter. Apart from the consciousness of the abyss, there were only the Abyss Blood Sun and the Abyss Door Talos, the symbols of two kings of the devil orbiting the consciousness of the abyss.
The ruler of abyss revealed his enormous divine body with all the consciousness of the abyss. Lights shone from his robe onto everything around him.
"Finally here… Maria's World, astral word, the abyss… I jumped from one chessboard to another! That's true… heh heh… hah hah hah hah!" said Adonis.
Adonis floated in the darkness of the void, looking up at the masked ruler of the abyss, then lowered his head and laughed. It started with a smile, then Adonis lost all control, bursting into laughter. The teeth in his skull clacked when his jaw moved up and down.
Mythical beings communicated using a common divine language. One could clearly sense his bitterness and unwillingness in his laughter.
Adonis raised his head suddenly. Even in such a hopeless situation, Adonis did not lose his calm. He chose to face his destiny with grace, and asked, "Who are you? The Great Angel Faross? The creator himself? The Great Wise Anthony? Or the Ruler of the Abyss?"
Lu Zhiyu looked down at him. The devilish skeleton was thousands of miles tall but still belittled by the projection of the consciousness of the abyss. It was almost like a giant looking down at an ant. Their eyes landed on the void-like core of the abyss.
"Is there any point?" Lu Zhiyu asked.
Adonis was stunned, then broke into demented laughter. Derision filled his laughter. Maybe he was scoffing at himself, or maybe at Maria's World and the destiny of all those living within.
"Right, that's right, that's absolutely right! There is no point. It is a tedious, pointless world. Everyone lives in unreal dreams, boring, hopeless dreams," Adonis said.
Adonis laughed and trembled. His body moved and swung like a puppet, making all kinds of bizarre posture.
"Ridiculous! Heh heh heh…kekeke… hah hah hah hah! Pathetic! So… in the end… I am just a clown!" Adonis laughed.
After quite a while, Adonis finally stopped laughing. He trembled, shrugged his shoulders, opened his palms like a pantomiming clown or puppet, and asked Lu Zhiyu, "So, this world, the great and almighty creator, did we put on a good show? Did you enjoy yourself? Toying with all our fates, looking down at our births and ruins, like the openings of ridiculous operas. Placing and abandoning us as if we were nothing but pawns. Did you find this game… hah hah hah… particularly interesting?"
Lu Zhiyu took off his mask. His enormous body, which filled the entire core layer of the abyss, started to move. Divine lights shone from his. Ribbons of light flew through the air. His long, transparent fingers were illuminated with white light. His fingers alone were of the length of Adonis's entire mythical body. Lu Zhiyu removed his mask of sun sigils and showed the smile underneath.
"Do you find it interesting?" Lu Zhiyu asked.
Adonis looked into Lu Zhiyu's eyes. The devilish flames roaring in Adonis' empty eyes slowly calmed down.
"So, even the creator himself shall not have redemption!" said Adonis.
Lu Zhiyu asked, "Do you still wish to be the King of the Dead?"
Adonis tilted his head and smiled like he always did, and asked in the same tone Lu Zhiyu had used before, "Do you find it interesting?"
After he said that, Adonis' tone changed instantly, from calm to furiously hysterical.
Adonis said, "I do not accept fate or anyone's plan! Ant, pawn, or lowly maggot, I, Adonis, shall have my will and pride! I am the star high above and I will never be the dust looking up at the sky!"
The soul flames on Adonis' body roared to life. The pillar of fire shone bright like the sun. Lights beamed up through the bitwall, shining deep into the layers of the abyss around him.
In the fire, Adonis burned every part of himself. His mythical cells, consciousness, core, and memories, with no regret or reservation.
Lu Zhiyu looked at Adonis calmly as he burned his mythical body. They both remained silent. Only the flames of death could be heard as Adonis entered eternal annihilation.
At this moment, a call of Adonis' true name came from afar, crossing the endless distance through ritual.
Adonis looked at Lu Zhiyu, turned his head suddenly, grabbed the floating, spinning divine personality of the master of the night, opened the entrance to the abyss, and threw the personality into it.
"Mr. Skeleton! Mr. Skeleton?"
Adonis heard the gentle voice coming from the other side of the entrance. An unusually calm expression filled his face. His jaw clenched as he looked through the other end of the entrance to the abyss. He could see her innocent cheeks and her adorable pout and knew she was angry.
"Alice!"
It took Adonis back to that day. He could see the little girl hiding in a corner in the royal palace, watching him lift up his sword, huddled up, wailing as if she had lost the entire world. Adonis, who killed his own father and brother to pursue power, suddenly softened.
"My little sister!" Adonis said.
Adonis reached out his hands as if he was going to hug the crying little girl hiding in the corner of the palace in his memory. His bony hands vanished in flames. The fire spread over his body, and Adonis turned into blackened dust in the fire.
—
On the aircraft dock of the Hollyma Kingdom, a prearranged cargo airship set off in the middle of the dark night. A few priests with green lights in their eyes escorted a young lady in a black robe onto the airship.
The airship departed. Its destination was the distant Yala continent. It was the world of wizards and fairies, the most beautiful place in Maria's World. It had the most desirable fairyland, a warm, comfortable climate, an everlasting spring, and thriving forests.
Beautiful fairies, their unique cities, and the giant Trees of Life could be seen everywhere, along with the wizard towers and relaxing fields of the wizard kingdom.
The airship traveled through the clouds in the starry night. Mist coated the deck. It was like walking through clouds if one walked out on the deck.
The starry sky and silver moon shone above. Lands and cities peeked between the clouds below. At this moment, a special witchcraft channel array was drawn on the deck. Alice, a newcomer who had studied for almost two years under the guidance of Adonis to break from seven units of mind power and become an official wizard, was there.
Nevertheless, being able to activate this witchcraft channeling array was enough. Alice spoke divine languages. Though she had no idea of the meaning of the words, the channeling was drawn in the correct direction. The power of the abyss covered the witchcraft channeling array. She had connected to the distant, unknown, powerful being.
"Mr. Skeleton! Mr. Skeleton! Can you hear me? Mr. Skeleton!"
Alice mumbled with her eyes closed. On the channeling array, a diamond structure formed. It was the symbol of Talos, the doorkeeper of the abyss. It showed the image of its devil species and opened a door that only immaterial creatures such as devils and mythical beings could pass through. This was what was passing through the door now.
A black gem that seemed to be made of threads fell onto the deck. It was covered with countless runes and spells, which were the stereoscopic patterns of the base of the God of the Night on the model of the World Tree.
Starlight spilled from within it. Power fluctuations and lights flowed between Alice's fingers, forming a long tail behind the airship. A simple gesture of activation could trigger its great power and alter the rules within Maria's World.
Alice grabbed the gem. She was breathless, calling Mr. Skeleton in a trembling voice. However, the entrance to the abyss had closed.
The witchcraft channeling array on the deck turned into a cloud of black smoke as if it had never existed. Alice put away the divine personality of the master of the night and gazed into the distance.
She was about to go to the distant Yala continent, just like Adonis asked of her. It was so far away that she could never imagine it, just like visiting another world.

Chapter 378: Discovery of a New World?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Year 611, San Calendar. Yala continent, Silver Moon Kingdom, Seth City.
Professor Rode of Seth Public University was already 150 years old. For a half-elf, he had passed his prime and walked into the sunset.
However, as Rode was struggling with weakening physical body and mind power, he had a breakthrough and became a level-four class holder with a life span of 1,000 years. As a half-elf, he was not clergy of the Goddess of Harvest, but of the Three Gods of Civilization, and chose a class under the Three Gods of Civilization, a magic crystal warlock. The Three Gods of Civilization had few restrictions on their believers. Loyalty and faith were not crucial to them. Also, their magic crystal warlock system was rather refined.
Professor Rode quibbled over spell knowledge and details, and he loved to argue. He could have a heated debate with his close friends for months and even make it into public newspapers. In a way, you could say that he did not get even a bit of the grace and elegance from his elf blood, and he was more like a human who loved to argue just for the sake of it.
Though he was not well-loved by staff or students at Seth Public University, his integrity and morality were unquestionable. Ever since Rode was a little boy, he had always said he would be a hero and an ace pilot.
"If the brick and mortar in the kingdom have accepted me, I would have become a hero long ago. I would be the first to explore the bitwall and return successfully. And I would be worshipped by every single being," said Rode.
Rode was adjusting a piece of intricate equipment in front of him in his own laboratory. It was a spinning sphere with multiple rings surrounding it. As the sphere spun, space around it folded and became slightly wrinkled. This giant piece of equipment took up more than half the room.
A black wind raven was perched on a hanging basket in the corner of the chaotic laboratory. It spread its wings and said, "You have no talent in piloting airships. The first time you piloted a simulated airship, you destroyed the ground of the training field, and 12 people were severely hurt. Of course, they didn't accept you! Also, space turbulence and bitwall mazes are still unresolved to this day. No one ever returns once they go in. You are lucky they did not accept you, or you would be nothing but an idiot with his name in the paper on the casualty list."
Rode looked to his partner the wind raven somewhat agitatedly. He opened his hands and waved them in the air. Rode said, "A little respect! Not idiots, but pioneers, heroes! They sacrificed to explore civilization. Every one of them deserves our respect."
Wind raven Black Jack looked at the equipment and said, "And this Space Fluctuation Tracker of yours is useless! What if you could detect stable space bubbles in the bitwall? The space anchoring and portal technologies are still in early stages with no application value. They're just burning loads of money. If I might say, no idiot would be willing to give you any more money. What's wrong with money? Why would they want to waste it on your experiments, with no sign of any return?"
Ding-dong!
Before the wind raven Black Jack could finish its taunting and the two of them could start another round of arguments, the doorbell rang.
Rode opened the door and found a beautiful lady wearing a slinky black dress and a black-veiled hat standing outside his home-laboratory. A fancy steam locomotive was below the stairs. A skinny servant stood behind the lady, sending out signals of power and danger.
"Is this the home of the well-known space spell master, Professor Rode? I would like to see him." The lady spoke fluent Sylr, which pleased Rode.
Rode straightened up, fixed his messy robe and answered, "That's right. This is the home of the space spell master, Professor Rode. I am the person you are seeking!"
The lady looked up and down at Rode, reached her hand out and said, "Hello, I am Alice. The Red Moon Business Group is under my name, and we are interested in funding your research…"
Rode's smile grew even bigger. His experiment had bankrupted a number of financial groups. His plan of studying the Ring of Anthony, which was a gift from the Great Wise Anthony, and reverse engineering the space witchcraft within to produce bulk alchemy equipment had fooled quite a few financial groups into funding his experiment.
The large-scale laboratory flopped, bringing debt to a number of well-known financial groups. If Rode was not a level-four class holder with a mysterious level-five magical beast, he would have been murdered long ago.
The reality was, the news of the leaders of those financial groups committing suicide, going bankrupt, and becoming homeless could be seen constantly in the paper. However, Rode lived just fine. No debt collector dared to knock on Rode's door, and no underground force dared to set foot on land within miles of Rode's house.
But still, no idiot would ever want to invest in his experiment. Rode's name spread out in Seth city and scared off every business group and rich investor who heard it.
Another dupe, no, generous sponsor sat on the couch in Rode's messy living room. She pulled out a stack of strategy plan documents, including detailed plans and funding on three fronts, funding Rode to rebuild his laboratory, the bitwall exploration project, and space alchemy equipment.
What raised Rode's eyebrows was that they possessed space spell knowledge and technologies. Those were not something that could be easily acquired by an average financial group. Only the top laboratories of various kingdoms, churches, universities, and alchemy institutions could touch on those subjects.
"Method to summon and open the Talos Gate! The relationship between devil summoning and teleportation! Possibility of discussion on portal construction! Mind power anchoring transmission witchcraft!" Rode read.
Rode looked to Alice in shock and said, "These? You could provide all these?"
Now Rode realized he was not dealing with just anyone. He sized up the lady who claimed to be Alice. She was a mysterious woman. As for looks, they did not reveal her age. She was a level-two class holder, a clergy member of an unknown church.
"What's your plan? That's not something an average person could touch on! It's not just about the money, it's forbidden knowledge!" said Rode.
Alice stood up and asked, "Can you keep this between us, Mr. Rode?"
"Of course! We could sign a contract under the name of the Dragon God of Time!" answered Rode.
Alice said, "I want to find a person in the abyss!"
Rode's jaw dropped and he said, "Find someone in the abyss? A fallen devil warlock? Or a soul dragged into the abyss by the devil? It's fine if it is a devil warlock. With his true name which would have become part of the consciousness of the abyss, we could bring him back once we open the entrance to the abyss. As for a soul in abyss…"
"No, we could not find him using his true name or get any response. I just want to know… to know if he is alright there!" said Alice.
The romantic elfin soul inside Rode awakened. Though he did not say a word, all kinds of thoughts floated through his mind. "Oh my god! The taboo love between a clergy member and a devil warlock? I love the story! Surely it will sell if put on stage."
Alice, on the other hand, did not finish the story. She said, "I will let you know the details later. You only need to help me find a stable way to open the entrance to the abyss which will not require a soul contract with the devil lord Talos."
Rode said with confidence, "No problem at all. But all this money? Just to perfect the devil spell of summoning the door of the abyss?"
Alice answered, "Of course not. The contract states that once space items are produced, the technology will be owned by the Red Moon Business Group. Of course, we won't forget the share that belongs to you, Mr. Rode. If you agree, the contract will be notarized by a priest of divine agreement of the Dragon God of Time."
Rode reviewed all the paperwork and clauses in the contract. After some thinking, he said, "No problem. I will sign it. With the information you provided, I am very confident this time!"
"Then, I wish the best for our partnership! I believe we will be good friends!" said Alice.
"Definitely!" said Rode.
After a hearty handshake, the lady got into the steam locomotive and disappeared on the busy, spacious road of Seth City.
"Ah! What a generous, graceful lady!" Rode said with excitement as he closed his door.
"Ah! Another idiot who wasted her money here!" said Black Jack. It was standing on the basket, mimicking Rode. A wind scythe came for the ropes of the hanging basket but was wiped out by Black Jack.
At that moment, the 5-meter-tall Space Fluctuation Tracker in the laboratory started to spin much more rapidly than it ever had before. The rings around the sphere created a blurring image.
"What's going on? What did we find? The response is too strong!" shouted Rode.
Rode threw himself at the Space Fluctuation Tracker. It was his precious equipment, and no one else could touch it. And now, it was spinning so madly that it could break at any second.
"No, no! It has detected a huge space bubble! It's a huge discovery, we discovered another stable space bubble inside the bitwall. Huge, extremely huge. It is probably the biggest space bubble ever found in history," said Rode.
Rode was thrilled. Just now, someone had offered him funding to restart his experiments, and then he made a huge discovery.
"Coordinates, coordinates!" Rode shouted.
Rode stared at the spinning Space Fluctuation Tracker and locked onto the position of an unknown space in the distant main world. Simulations and information about the space popped up on the projection screen. Rode copied down some figures.
Black Jack flew over to Rode's shoulder. After Rode finished taking notes of the coordinates, both of them started to think about the position of the coordinates and realized something strange.
"The coordinates seem weird and the response was way too strong. Such intense space fluctuations imply a huge space beyond our imagination. It is too far away, the position seems to be…"
Rode and Black Jack looked at each other and said simultaneously, "Not inside Maria's World?"
Both instantly looked at the rapidly spinning Space Fluctuation Tracker and exclaimed, "No way! Did we discover another world?"

Chapter 379: A Disaster Caused By the Half Bitwall
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Within the Astral World and outside of Maria's Word.
The Capital of God, the Floating-Space City, was parked outside Maria's Word. Around Maria's Word, the most prominent thing was no longer the Floating-Space City, but a Half Bitwall which was speeding towards Maria's Word under the gravitational attraction of Maria's Word.
The Half Bitwall dragged with it a long Elemental Wave from the depths of the Astral World. It had only one goal and it was to reach Maria's Word.
The huge Maria's Word was like a burning flame, and Half Bitwall was a moth that was rushing towards that flame; it bolted desperately towards Maria's Word. It was expected that the Half Bitwall would eventually crash into Maria's Word.
Although it wouldn't cause the destruction of the whole of Maria's Word, there would be a catastrophe if the huge Half Bitwall collided with Maria's Word head-on.
"This is a catastrophe at the level of world destruction. It might cause everything to revert to its original state!"
"In fifty years, it'll crash into Maria's Word. Space will be smashed and then collapsed, Elemental Waves will sweep across the core world, and groups of meteorites will fall onto the earth!"
"With the exception of Gods, everyone else will die!"
Verthandi, Kelly, and Delmedi stood beside Lu Zhiyu. The four of them stood on the edge of the Capital of God. They were looking at the dim but visible light in the distance. It was getting brighter and brighter at a slow and steady speed and gradually showing its size.
Lu Zhiyu retracted his gaze. "What you said will not happen. It's not the end, but a key factor to promote and improve the whole of Maria's Word."
When Lu Zhiyu looked at the grim and scared expressions of the three goddesses, he suddenly smiled. "In the face of such a crisis, a hero will emerge to save the whole world!"
"Isn't there a saying? When they're in adversity, they'll naturally become heroes!"
"No?"
Lu Zhiyu's lame joke wasn't welcomed by them. Instead, he suffered from their contemptuous looks. Verthandi said angrily, "Even the gods can't perform such a feat, except you, old man. I don't think anyone has such formidable power."
"Strong power isn't necessary, but it has to be used correctly. Wisdom and knowledge are the most formidable power."
Lu Zhiyu turned his head toward Maria's Word as if he had caught sight of the world's most prosperous civilization and the numerous living beings who were struggling to succeed. "Don't worry, there'll be no accident, they'll have wisdom and power far beyond your imagination."
——————————————————
Rode had the accumulations of the first 100 years, coupled with the knowledge base that Alice inherited from Adenos, and the wealth that Adenos left behind. It seemed that the cooperation between Rode and the Red Moon Business Group was in the bag.
Rode spent several years making a breakthrough in Space Anchoring Technology and then spent nearly ten years studying the Space Transfer Array engraved on the Ring of Anthony. Finally, he was able to complete the replication of the Space Transfer Array and made some minor changes as required. But his Space Transfer Array could only transfer small objects and not huge cargo objects, moreover, only non-living objects could be transferred.
Rode used a projection spell and finally targeted a space bubble in the bitwall. He opened a small Space Transfer Array and the image of the Elemental Organism was projected; it was a way to explore the bitwall. He perfected his Space Magic and Space Storage Theory bit by bit.
Through anchoring and reinforcement spells, further renovations, and the successful additions of Space Transfer Magic Arrays and nodes, Rode finally controlled the first space bubble belonging to him. It was about 100 square meters, located in the depths of the bitwall. Without coordinates and guidance, even the gods couldn't target such a space bubble in the chaotic bitwall.
With that as a foundation, he finally succeeded in creating his own Space Storage Alchemy Props.
"Rode's Storage Bracelet! Manufactured from Rode's Space Magic Props Alchemy Workshop and guaranteed by the Bank of Monar. Each Storage Bracelet has a special number and unique mind power lock It corresponds with a space storage cabinet of Rode's storage space bubble.
"Rode's storage space bubble, located in the depths of the bitwall, absolutely safe and hidden, there'll be no accidents. It's the storage space that the Space Magic Master, Mr. Rode, personally anchors, reinforces, and designs. The small Space Transfer Array, divided into 100 lattices, corresponds to 100 Rode's Storage Bracelets."
"At the same time, the goods stored in the interior will be kept by the Bank of Alice. They'll never be lost or meet with a mishap. I heard that the Bank of Monar will also provide space warehouse service, let's wait and see."
"The auction starts now!"
"30,000 standard third-grade Magic Crystals!"
"50,000!"
"60,000!"
"…"
When the auction started, there were many nobles, royals, high-ranking officials of various churches, and saints under the stage bidding wildly. Space Magic was the highest field that the saints had yet discovered.
The appearance of the first Space Storage Alchemy Props, although the space anchored by a Storage Bracelet was only a square metre, contained the profound knowledge of alchemy. Only the top-notch alchemy warlock and the strongest Space Magic Master could produce such an alchemy prop.
In the auction room, the first batch of Space Storage Alchemy Props, Rode's Storage Bracelet, sparked a feverish response. The first batch of 100 Space Storage Bracelet was sold out.
"The Great Space Magic Master, Rode – The Tephis News!"
"The Man Who Changed the World – The Light Weekly News!"
"Breaking the Threshold and Boundaries of Space Magic, The Greatest Person of This Era – Swirl Continent's Misty Moon Broadcasting Channel!"
"We've Opened The Door To The World Outside – The Elf Daily News!"
"…"
Newspapers and channels of various magic radios, from the Alen Continent to the Swirl Continent, immediately published and broadcasted various reports about Rode, the Space Magic Master. Originally, Rode's influence was limited to only Hagrid City, but now he had become a world-renowned figure overnight.
Everyone knowing his name and the whole world talking about him and praising him was enough to keep Rode excitedly awake and sleepless. It was enough for him to boast to his wind raven, Black Jack, for days and nights on end.
But at the moment, Rode was dutifully controlling the new Space Wave Detector in his Master Tower for measurement and calculation. The new Space Wave Detector was more than ten meters high. It was grandiose from the first glance. At that moment, it was rotating violently and accepting the spatial fluctuations from the distant Astral World.
A dozen of the master's assistants were at his side. They were helping him to calculate the data. More than ten blackboards on four walls were filled with all kinds of digits, symbols, and formulas. On the table and on the ground there were papers with calculations on them.
When Rode drew a ladder-shaped figure on the front of a blackboard, he finally threw away the chalk, at a loss for words, and sat down on the ground.
"Mr. Rode?"
"Mr. Rode? What's going on?"
Several assistants were immediately concerned but Rode waved them away. "Nothing. That's all for today. Thank you for all of your help these last few days. Go take a break."
His assistants didn't know the meaning of the data that they had been calculating. They just thought that Rode's experiment had failed. It was normal for research-based masters to take it hard when that happened.
When the Master Tower was empty, Black Jack landed on Rode's shoulder. "What's wrong? Rode, this is unlike you. Is there something wrong?"
Rode looked at Black Jack, then stood up and pointed to the constantly changing numbers on the blackboard. "The spatial fluctuation we explored more than a decade ago has basically been determined; it should be a legendary Half Bitwall. It hasn't reached the world's level, but it's so large that it's beyond comprehension."
"That's good news! If that's the case, we've discovered a Half Bitwall. If we can explore it, you'll be a pioneer of a new history." Black Jack wasn't fully understanding the situation.
But Rode shook his head and said, "No, the data isn't right! Over the past decade, the coordinates of this Half Bitwall have been constantly changing, and…" Rode looked at Black Jack and said bitterly, "It's getting closer and closer to us!"
Black Jack sprang out its wings and jumped in front of Rode. "You mean it's approaching our world?"
Rode nodded. "And according to the data, its trajectory is facing us, and it's likely that it'll hit Maria's World head-on. If such a huge Half Bitwall hits our world, Black Jack, can you imagine the consequences?"
The air froze in an instant. A man and the bird looked at each other speechlessly. They were shocked by the discovery and couldn't say a word.
Black Jack finally spoke after a long pause. "Maybe… the situation isn't as bad as you think. Maybe it's going to brush past us."
Rode immediately stood up and said, "Yes, so we need to explore this Half Bitwall as soon as possible."

Chapter 380: The Exploration of the Half Bitwall
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"I'm calling out your name! I earnestly pray for your response!"
"Adenos, I offer you my soul as a sacrifice! I'm calling out your name! I earnestly pray for your response!"
"I earnestly pray for your response!"
"Please respond!"
"Adenos!"
In a large castle on the outskirts of Kelermo in the Master Kingdom, a lady in black robes, with the help of dozens of saints, opened the door to the abyss. It wasn't too troublesome to call out to the devil, but if they wanted to find a devil with his real name while using specific witchcraft, and the devil they were looking for was resisting their summon in the abyss, that was a different scenario.
But Alice found that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't find him in the abyss by calling out his real name. Even when she used a soul spell to trace their memories, she just couldn't locate him in the abyss.
"We succeeded previously, why can't we do it now? Why?" After several attempts all were futile. They tried a new method every time, but their anticipations and expectations always met with failure.
Alice summoned a devil and tried to find Adenos through the devil. Such a man would never be nameless even in the abyss. But Alice found that even if she summoned the will of the Devil Lord from the deepest part of the abyss, she couldn't find out where Adenos was. It was as if he had never existed.
"Ga-ga-ga-ga! There's only one possibility in this case!"
"That's it – he's dead!"
"He had a clean and neat death, there's nothing left of him!"
The Devil Lord from the deepest part of the abyss answered Alice in that way. Although those devils were cunning and evil, they wouldn't cheat when they were offered sacrifices and bound to an agreement.
When she got that answer, Alice realized that she wasn't that shocked and grieved. Perhaps she had already accepted the result in her heart even before all the attempts and expectations and pain. And yet, she was still unwillingly to accept that result after spending twenty years searching for an answer.
"So he'll die too?"
Adenos's words suddenly reverberated in Alice's ear again, and the tone was still so cold and disdainful. "Only the dead will be eternal!"
"So…so…you'll die too? I thought…there's no being or difficulty in the world that can make you frown. I thought even death has to lower its head when it meets you!"
As Alice lifted the witchcraft array used to summon the devil, she watched the supernatural spiritual light spin and the devil bound to the agreement exit. She drew open the curtain of the castle, sat on a bench beside her, cupped her face, and felt her shoulders continuously tremble.
Alice still couldn't believe that such a fellow could die. He might not be the one with the most unique and striking appearance, but he was absolutely the most arrogant and extremely conceited one in spite of that. He despised gods, held contempt for death, scorned at all living beings, morality, rules, and order.
Alice, like everyone else, disagreed with his approach. His crazy and unbridled actions and his madness and his contempt for life, but one couldn't deny his charm and mesmerizing demeanor when revolting against everyone in the entire world.
Alice stopped searching for answers, she felt that was enough. The corpses of those who died at Adenos's hands were enough to accumulate into a mountain that could break through the clouds. Their souls were enough to turn a bright sky into a dark night. There was nothing to complain about or regret about his death, and nobody prayed for him. Still, nobody thought such a person would die so quietly.
His life wasn't like the brilliant fireworks blooming and fading away, but it sorrowfully exited in the quiet dark night.
"Mr. Skeleton!"
——————————————————
"Ready? Everyone report your situation!"
"The portal is stable!"
"There's nothing wrong with the coordinates!"
"The energy supply of Magic Crystals is stable!"
"Activate!"
Inside the Master Tower of Rode the half-elf, hundreds of saints were now controlling their own alchemy devices. The robotic arm which was giving off steam was recording Magic Array Runes and channels of the Magic Crystal Network. The metal gate was densely embedded with Magic Crystal and Magic Silver Network, and more than ten of the control devices in the surroundings were connected by the Magic Silver Network. They were used to supply energy and to control the portal.
However, such a huge gate could only open a pinhole-sized portal, but unlike the fixed space storage ring, that portal could open a fixed coordinate portal at will and it could transfer large items. Unfortunately, it still couldn't transfer living creatures and non-ordinary forms of life weren't within that limit either.
They worked in a Level-Four Elemental Master Tower where, at the bottom, the Magic Crystal Network was completely spread out. It was able to supply energy to destroy the set of alchemy devices.
Rode went up to the portal step by step and he watched the supernatural light shining along the lines. Suddenly he was nervous. It was because today wasn't like any other day.
When he used a projection spell to enter the other end of the portal for exploration there was a distance limit. With his mind power, he could only extend less than 1,000 meters and his projection spell would be invalid.
Such a distance was enough to explore a space bubble in a Bitwall, but if it was to explore a large Half Bitwall, it was far from enough. Nothing would be in sight within a kilometer. It wasn't enough to perfect the purpose of the exploration, let alone to predict the Half Bitwall's trajectory and calculate the actual distance between it and Maria's World by observing the Half Bitwall.
Rode was ready to use the dangerous soul spell which only the Level Four professionals could use because only the Level Four professionals' souls would form a stable structure. He would use the Soul Master to let his soul slip out of his body, and then project his soul to another plane. In that case, there would be no limit. But if there were any accidents, the worst-case scenario could be beyond death.
Alice, who was Rode's friend and investor, visited him there. He had told Alice about his speculation that the Half Bitwall would hit Maria's World. Alice immediately gave full financial support to his plan to explore the Half Bitwall, which was the reason why he could explore the Half Bitwall so quickly.
Alice stood behind Rode. That day, her short hair was neatly combed. She was dressed in dark classical clothes. She stood in the crowd with her pet cat in her arms. Her gaze was as desolate as ever, but she still looked at Rode energetically as if to cheer him up.
"Begin!" After looking back, Rode finally summoned up his courage.
When the charge was done, in between the portals, a whirlpool was stirring as if the space was broken. The color darkened closer to the center, and all that was left was a black dot right in the middle.
The white ray in Rode's body lit up little by little, and a gray profile of him which gradually brightened appeared in his body like a Russian nesting doll. There were two of him.
As Rode took control of his soul, it stepped out from his body and headed for the portal.
Then his wind raven, Black Jack, suddenly flew down. It stood at the top of the portal, looked at Rode, and said, "Hey! Rode, I suddenly found out that you're really handsome and stunning today!"
Rode was startled, burst into laughter, and said with his head up, "Of course, because I'm going to save the world!"
When Rode finished his sentence, he stepped into the other end of the door. His soul seemed to be engulfed by the whirlpool; it spun through the infinite space and reached another world far away.
