“This thing! Why can’t it be killed!?”
Trapped in the formation for half an hour already.
The Bishop has put forth all his measures to deal with the Chimera Monster.
But no matter how it was amputated, crushed, or even annihilated, new parts would immediately grow on the monster’s body… Its internal body parts were terrifyingly dense, and it had also gained regeneration ability from a few instructors it absorbed.
The Bishop was equivalent to fighting against thousands of failed experiments and a few elite instructors.
These failed experiments weren’t weak in combat; they were just deemed failures because they couldn’t control themselves.
“Sixty percent of the Void Essence is depleted… I must end this fight soon. The remaining energy should be enough for me to escape…”
Although consumed by greed, the Bishop could still perceive their situation realistically when his life was threatened.
Once free, he would abandon the cult and find a remote human village or small town to start afresh…
Thinking of this, he forcefully conjured a claw-like Void Arm, and savagely grabbed at the continually attacking monster.
A large number of limbs broke and eroded under the tear of the Void Claw.
Until the monster’s body was entirely sliced open.
A colorless crystal smeared and sticking between the flesh was seen by the Bishop.
“The Messenger’s crystal? How can it be inside this monster?”
Although the Bishop knew about the “Chimera Experiment”, he didn’t understand the cause for the monster’s formation.
He just treated it as a chaotic life form that could infinitely absorb other individuals, entirely sealed in the second layer of the cult, as a hidden weapon.
“In that case… I can directly advance!!”
The Bishop never imagined that the Messenger status he had longed for in his dreams was right beside him.
Whish!
A Void Arm extended out, peeled the colorless crystal from inside the monster’s body, and grabbed it in front of him.
“Although it’s a bit rough, it is indeed a ‘Messenger Crystal’… With my current state, I can definitely complete the advancement.”
Thinking of his situation, the Bishop didn’t pick anymore.
He immediately embedded the colorless crystal into the indentation of his brow.
Hum!
A ripple spread out from the crystal as the center.
The scattered monster limbs on the ground immediately gathered towards the Bishop.
“What’s happening!? Why is there chaos inside the crystal? Why can’t I abandon these useless limbs… No!!”
The Bishop was originally born a human.
His cognition of the other side of the “Gate” was only at the explorations and observations stage.
He only knew that this kind of colorless crystal was a symbol of the Messenger’s status, but he didn’t know that the quality of the crystal varied, and also needed to check the integrity of the crystal.
The crystal inside this monster was long broken and chaotic from unrestricted containment.
Nicole was the first to inform Han Dong that this crystal had lost its value… but the Bishop was completely unaware.
Within merely five minutes.
The Bishop also turned into a fusion monster made up of numerous limbs.
But because the Bishop himself was powerful, he maintained ‘consciousness independence’… making the whole look somewhat human-shaped.
“The feeling… The feeling isn’t too bad…
I don’t care what I turn into, as long as I can get the permission to go to the other side of the ‘Gate’!
As long as I further comprehend the Void, I can definitely remove the extra parts on my body.
Besides, this body is sufficient to eliminate these intruders.”
Just as the Bishop attempted to destroy the tentacles encircling the Giant Stone Array.
The formation engraving on the surface of the five giant stones started slowly shining a dim light.
Clang-clang~
Following that, the stone disc on the ground also began to rotate slowly.
“How can this be!? This formation was created by the Pope himself… He only told us, the main anchors of various branches, the method to drive it, and it also requires our tokens to drive.”
The Bishop completely couldn’t understand the current situation where the formation was activated.
“I can’t stay here!”
The Bishop clearly understood the serious consequences of the official drive of this formation, all lives within the formation would be used as sacrifices to connect the other side of the gate.
He ran desperately towards the edge, trying to escape.
At that time…
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Immediately, black thin lines overflowed between the rotating stone disc arrays on the ground, binding the Bishop’s body.
If it were the original Bishop with the Void Body, he might break these thin lines using the Void Energy, and have an opportunity to escape.
The current Bishop, having fused with the monster, his huge body and the attachment of thousands of limbs, gave the thin lines more binding opportunities… Almost every limb was wrapped in a thin line, completely unable to break free.
“No! I shouldn’t be here!”
Despair gradually took over the Bishop’s consciousness, until the formation was completely driven, his entire consciousness also collapsed.
…
All of these were under Han Dong’s precise control.
“Third phase…”
After the successful activation of the formation, Han Dong immediately recalled the tentacles blockading the Giant Stone Array… approximately recovering 60% of the Mythical Energy.
Currently, the Bishop trapped inside the formation was being slowly disintegrated.
A purple-red liquid filled the rotating stone disc.
The arms and legs separated from the Bishop’s body under the action of the formation, slowly pieced together into a weird gate.
The ‘Oil’ mixed with Void attributes completely filled the gate, establishing a connecting corridor between the two worlds.
Slowly.
Following the complete death of the Bishop, a fairly stable “Gate” was constructed.
Such a large and perfect Void Gate was extremely rare.
It could even be said to be the most stable gate in the world of “Mist”.
When Han Dong peeked with the Demon Eye, he could see some ‘dreamy stardust’ inside the gate.
“The Omen of the ‘Void Cult’ is completed, Omen Value +6.”
“Hidden Event – ‘The Deep Sea Girl’s Request’ completed, increased the favorability of event character ‘Nicole Little Paw’, improved the overall reputation of the Deep Sea Faction, and accelerated the storyline.”
As a result of completing the Level Six Omen, Han Dong reached the permission to unlock [Faceless Head Skull].
For a moment, an unprecedented sense of freshness erupted in his brain, no longer discomforted by the various strange, indescribable images.
In this way, all of Han Dong’s abilities were unlocked, reaching a perfect state.
Whoosh… He immediately extended a tentacle and picked up the parchment dropped in the middle of the hall.
“‘The Eighth Original Manuscript’ obtained.”
“Nicole, the ‘Gate’ has been opened… You can go back now.”
Who would have thought.
Nicole actually kneeled in front of Han Dong.
Maybe it’s because of the previously successful display, it had changed Nicole’s perception of Han Dong,
Or maybe it’s because Han Dong had retrieved [Faceless Head Skull], Nicole sensed something different about Han Dong,
Or maybe some of Nicole’s sealed memories were stimulated by the current scene and Han Dong, awakening a part of them.
“Lord Messenger, you didn’t come from the other side of the ‘Gate’, did you?”
“Hmm.”
“Can… Can I follow you?”
