Chapter 1221: Chapter 625: An Accident—Targeted by the Eternal Abyss! (Part 2)

At this point, Heckler finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Are you sure you can contain it?” Costate asked gravely, as everyone else looked over.

Heckler replied, “Half of the materials I requested were used to make this self-destruct core. We certainly can’t handle the Power of Eternal Abyss, but we just need to destroy the Spear of Judgment.”

He also understood the priorities; it was essential to ensure that the Eternal Abyss wouldn’t cause greater impact.

Buzz—

Everyone seemed to sense something, looking towards the Spear of Judgment, the black pillars of light at both ends of the energy wells were already becoming unstable.

A continuous low-frequency rumble came from inside, the core area had been torn apart, revealing a black hole collapsed to the size of a walnut and rapidly expanding.

The edges glowed with a strange halo, the nearest alloy armor plate was ripped apart, nearly compressed into geometric patterns and swallowed inside.

As time passed, the core components of the Spear of Judgment had gradually been devoured, and the black pillars of light on both sides also dissipated.

Without a medium, the depths of the void and the Eternal Abyss Realm also began to shrink gradually.

The void trembled slightly, and the collapsed black hole reached a certain limit, then shrank in an instant, disappearing without a trace, leaving only some metal debris drifting.

“Controlled it…” Costate exhaled deeply.

Fortunately, no major disaster brewed.

Everyone’s nerves gradually relaxed, and Heckler’s anxiety was replaced by confidence.

Though there was a bit of accident in the middle, the final result was good after all.

“Don’t take such risks in the future.” Costate couldn’t help but warn Heckler.

“How could you open the Holy Castle in such a short time without taking risks? Do you think that Energy Barrier is something to mess with?” Heckler shook his head, “The Energy Barrier has been destroyed; we can prepare to transfer the Holy Castle now.”

“The internal multi-layer protection devices still need time to open.”

“As long as the result is good, that’s fine.” Schmidt mediated.

Costate snorted coldly but had to admit that Heckler’s adventure was indeed effective this time.

Otherwise, they would have to let that Morris come.

He learned from Adam that this Morris was quite eager for Diglas’s Crown.

He had mentioned several times his wish to come and had made guarantees that he would definitely obtain Diglas’s Crown.

But they were all vetoed by the leaders; now they needed to use Morris to balance the Azure Dragon.

It did not mean they had no guard against Morris.

Diglas’s Crown could significantly enhance a life form’s combat power; under normal circumstances, Morris would not be allowed to get it.

That guy, of course, knew this but understood more clearly that compared to him,

The Three Great Civilizations didn’t want the Azure Dragon to obtain it, so they kept trying.

Now that Heckler had found a method, all the better.

“The remnants of the Power of Eternal Abyss inside the Holy Castle are being cleansed; please wait a moment.” Heckler was already impatient, staring at the intersecting light beams of the Holy Castle.

In the main hall of the Holy Castle, Li Ming also noticed that the Spear of Judgment had begun to collapse.

“This group of people is likely coming up; let’s see if we can use their power to obtain Diglas’s Crown.”

“I just don’t know if that Holmes is coming; if he does, it would be best.”

Li Ming was predicting the other’s actions when he heard the Observer beside him exclaim in uncertain amazement.

“That… is?”

Li Ming snapped back, his eyes moving from the virtual screen in front of him to the direction the Observer was looking, and his pupils contracted immediately.

Ever since he entered the main hall of the Holy Castle, the door had always had a slit, covered by the Energy Barrier, and not everyone could enter.

But now, outside the large Energy Barrier, a black figure unexpectedly emerged.

“This…” Li Ming’s heart trembled slightly. That black figure was constructed purely from the Power of Eternal Abyss, constantly surging, appearing humanoid, without facial features.

But for some reason, Li Ming felt a creepy sense of being spied upon, as if something had locked onto him.

“What the hell is this?” He couldn’t help but say, “Does the Power of Eternal Abyss have such a form?”

He couldn’t help but worry, his gaze dropping to the ground outside the Energy Barrier, where a black metal box lay.

That was a sub-unit of the Information State Entanglement Device, needed to be placed outside to maintain his consciousness in descent here.

Because he couldn’t bring it into the main hall of the Holy Castle, he could only place it in front of the door, reaching out to prevent it from being eroded by the Eternal Abyss.

If it were destroyed, there would be big trouble.

The Observer was equally bewildered, even with a mix of helplessness and fear, “I don’t know; there’s no record in the data, this… this…”

As the two were uncertainly puzzled, they saw that the black figure had already taken a step forward.

Ignoring the metal box on the ground, it reached out a hand, landing on the barrier of the metal door.

Sizz—

The point of contact caused ripples to spread on the Energy Barrier, even the high-intensity Energy Shield made by Titan could hardly resist this kind of erosion.

The other party seemed to want to come in.

The internal cleansing of the Holy Castle couldn’t account for every angle.

There were still quite a few streams of black liquid converging from all sides, integrating into this silhouette.

“Could this be the Eternal Abyss itself?” Li Ming raised an unbelievable guess.

“The Eternal Abyss itself?” The Observer was also stunned.

Li Ming, thrown into confusion by this sudden change, felt a vague sense of unease in his heart.

But the Spear of Judgment had already been destroyed, and the Power of Eternal Abyss was getting more scarce, seemingly unable to sustain this figure further.

And that black silhouette realized this, beginning to contract, breaking through as a single point.

Soon, a gap was indeed eroded in the energy barrier in the door slit.

But the black figure itself was also enveloped by intense beams of light, almost vanishing.

Yet in the final moment, a streak of black line flew from the gap, heading straight toward the Observer.

“No, the Observer has the greatest trump card; nothing can go wrong.” Li Ming originally intended to dodge instinctively but suddenly remembered this and flashed his figure, already blocking in front of the Observer.

That streak of black line, like a malignant tumor, adhered to his body.

He dared not delay, quickly extending his finger to absorb it.

After absorbing, his mind trembled slightly; this tiny amount of black substance surprisingly contained a whole share of the Power of Eternal Abyss, with extremely high quality.

Since that black figure appeared, everything was beyond Li Ming’s expectations.

He also didn’t know why the Eternal Abyss wanted to erode the Observer.

But as he was puzzling over this, a voice inconspicuously drifted to his ears, seeming grand and supreme, yet close and intimate:

“…Interesting, the first time meeting a life form like you, plus an uncontrolled mechanical body, I remember you…”

Li Ming’s body stiffened, a biting cold swept through him.

A haze overtook his vision, as if somewhere in the dark, a pair of pitch-black eyes were watching him, intending to swallow him whole.

Speculations confirmed, that black figure truly bore the consciousness of the Eternal Abyss.

The Eternal Abyss is alive!

He’s not new to dealings with the Eternal Abyss; the information he’d gathered before had subtly hinted at this, so he wasn’t surprised.

Yet the Eternal Abyss not only was alive, but had now set its sights on him.

A flood of information surged through his mind, even for Li Ming, it was hard to stay calm at this moment.

A moment later, under the Observer’s call, he gradually regained his composure.

“What’s wrong?” The Observer inquired, sensing something was off.

Li Ming didn’t respond right away, his expression fluctuating as he quickly revisited the situation.

“Why focus on me, because they discovered I could absorb the Power of Eternal Abyss, so just now was a secondary attempt to confirm this.”

“Could each tiny bit of the Power of Eternal Abyss really serves as an avatar, to such a perverse extent?”

“The so-called uncontrolled mechanical body, is it the just-exploded carrier?”

The Eternal Abyss… the devourer of multiple civilizations.

With such an unexpected development, Li Ming’s heart inevitably grew restless.

The Eternal Abyss is not the Three Great Civilizations; if you can’t beat it, you can find a place to hide.

Being targeted by this thing, there’s nowhere to escape.
