Chapter 852
"There's no going back..."
Ethan walked up step by step. Although he had the urge to go down to see what would happen, he felt that it would be better to play as little tricks as possible at this time.
This time it's not that he randomly found a world to play in, but it's a contest that is really related to life and death, so let's climb up obediently.
"Although there is no going back from the beginning..."
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Ethan gradually noticed something was wrong.
With his current divine body, let alone just walking for such a short time, even if he walked on the steps for a year, he shouldn't feel tired.
He shouldn't feel tired even if he sprints at high speed, but now he can clearly feel the loss of his physical strength, and he can feel that the divine power in his body is slowly decreasing.
"what happened?"
Ethan stopped and carefully observed the divine power in his body, and finally he found that his divine power was not reduced, but compressed.
In addition, the divine power was tightly suppressed in his body, and there was no way to release it outside the body, and the ability to fly had also disappeared, as if he had never had it before.
"..."
Ethan stayed for a moment, and then moved on. This time, he diverted part of his attention to carefully observe the situation in his body.
This time he found that as he continued to move forward, the divine power in his body was constantly being squeezed into his body, not only the divine power, but also his body was also 'degrading'.
Including the divine power and the magical power possessed by the divine body, even the powerful spiritual power cannot be avoided, and they are constantly being compressed from the outside to the inside. As long as he continues to move forward, this process will continue, and On the surface, it seems that he is degenerating from God to man.
"Is it actually such a trial?"
Take power away? Then let the main god become an ordinary person and face various difficulties?
Ethan thought for a while, and found that it should not be that simple.
If it were him back then, he might have to think about it for a while, but he had personally experienced a severe injury, and it was that severe injury that gave him the basis for the fusion of his body and the rules.
After having that experience, he found that the current situation has something in common with that fusion: I remember Eugene said that this Tongtian Tower can allow the main god who has initially comprehended the power of the rules to better integrate with the power of the rules.
Then this phenomenon that seems to compress everything to the extreme is to integrate all the powers, right?
Compressing everything to the extreme and forcibly blending them together, although this combines all the powers and rules I have, but in this case, wouldn't this thing become the same as an iron lump?
As Ethan continued to move forward, the various rules Ethan had comprehended, the divine power he had mastered, and even the various special abilities contained in the divine body were all compressed together and turned into a ball between reality and reality, suspended in the body.
Ethan's current body, apart from his still outstanding appearance, is a healthy and fairly strong ordinary human being. Facing the nearly endless stairs, he was able to cope with it from the very beginning, and gradually became more and more powerful. strenuous.
"This so-called Tower of Babel can't just keep climbing the stairs?"
Ethan knew that this was impossible. From the information Eugene revealed, he could judge that there was danger in the Tower of Babel. Apart from being a little tired when climbing the stairs, he could not see any danger—it couldn’t mean that he would be so tired that he would pass out and then go into a coma. Falling down stairs without walls, handrails, railings?
"It doesn't seem impossible!"
I don't know how long I haven't felt this feeling. Ethan felt that the clothes on his body were soaked in sweat, so he took off his coat casually, then took off the vest inside, tied the coat around his waist, and put the vest on the Use it on your shoulders as a towel.
He is very thankful now that this suit didn't disappear with his strength being compressed deep in his body, otherwise he would have to climb the stairs naked. Just thinking about that scene makes him feel speechless.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Ethan found that the ball in his body had been compressed to the point where it was almost invisible. Let alone an existence between reality and reality, even if it was something that actually existed in his body, Now it's just a small pimple, because it's not in any key organs, so it won't have a big impact on the human body - the kind that can only be seen clearly with a magnifying glass.
"It doesn't seem to continue to change."
Perhaps because of his distracted attention to this small ball, Ethan has never felt too tired.
But when he made sure that he didn't continue to change and stopped paying attention to the ball, the tired and sore feeling that he had forgotten for many years and almost couldn't remember how to describe it could no longer be suppressed, and Ethan felt that his whole body was about to fall apart.
Although he was still standing there, his trembling legs seemed to be unable to support him at any time. In order to prevent himself from accidentally falling down the stairs, Ethan had to lower his body. I couldn't hold it anymore, and fell directly on the stairs.
"It really hurts!"
He performed a pounce on the street himself, and even hit his chin on the steps. If he hadn't lowered himself down and stretched out his hands for support, this would have disfigured him.
"Fortunately, I protected my face in time, so my handsome face was preserved..."
While muttering to himself to relieve the pressure, while recovering his strength as much as possible - he couldn't waste too much time on this staircase, he noticed a very fatal problem.
I have recovered my normal body, do I have to rely on food to supplement my body's needs like ordinary people? This staircase didn't look like a place with a service station, which meant that he couldn't find any food before leaving the staircase with no end in sight.
"That's not right... What I need to replenish most when I sweat a lot is water."
Spreading his hands, he carefully recalled the first spell he learned back then, trying to see if he could make some water, but now he is like a real ordinary person: spell? Can't use it!
"Looks like it's time to hurry up."
At this time, the test is not only physical strength, but willpower.
Ethan judged that Abraham should face the same situation as himself. The bodies of both parties are quite powerful gods. After being forcibly degraded into ordinary people, they should be relatively strong and healthy. Almost, at this time, the only thing that determines who can gain the advantage is the willpower not to be affected by suppression.
"I will definitely win! I am the most persistent person!"
Puffing himself up, Ethan knew that if he relaxed and wanted to take a good rest, he might not be able to get up again today.
It's very easy to puff up in one breath, but it's very, very difficult to lift it up after you relax.
Taking advantage of his strength and perseverance, Ethan decided to go as far as possible, and it would be best if he could reach the end.
Stepping up firmly, Ethan doesn't think about anything now, just keeps climbing up the stairs one after another. Even he himself doesn't know how long he walked, as if his two legs are no longer his own, and his body has already disappeared. When he was close to the limit, he began to consider whether to take a break.
He raised his head slightly and looked upwards—in order not to feel hopeless, he kept avoiding looking upwards, so as not to be discouraged by the endless stairs.
Now that he was about to rest, and it didn't matter if he took a look, he found that the end of the stairs had already appeared in his sight.
It was a square luminous body, like a door, but standing here, he couldn't see what kind of place was inside the door.
Ethan hesitated for a moment. He is not in a good condition now. It might not be a good choice to rush over like this rashly. What if he will face the enemy as soon as he passes by?
Because he saw the end point, Ethan had the motivation to move forward again, and insisted on coming to the door: he still couldn't see anything, this is a luminous body, it seems that he has to go through it to know what's going on on the other side.
"Although this competition is to see who can pass the trial first, the trial will definitely not end so easily. There should be more difficult challenges waiting on the other side."
Since this Tongtian Tower can allow him to reach a higher level, but now his power is only compressed into a small point, how can this situation not be a higher level?
So there must be other tests later!
After thinking this through, Ethan decided not to pass through the light gate immediately, but to stop in front of the light gate to take a good rest and recover some energy.
There is no food or clean water, and the rest time should not be too long, otherwise the situation will get worse. Rest for two or three hours, and go there after recovering some strength. The first thing is to find food and water.
Since the stairs are not very spacious and there are no protective measures, Ethan does not dare to sleep. Even if he sits on the steps and feels that his strength has recovered a bit, he doesn't care if he really rests for two or three hours, and he will still be wet. Put on the vest, put on the coat, and step into the light gate after being fully prepared.
My eyes blurred, my head became dizzy, and then I felt my feet go soft, as if I stepped on a wooden board that was not very firm and wobbly.
Although he lost his divine power and his body returned to an ordinary person, the skills and experience he had cultivated for so many years were still there. Ethan immediately stabilized his body and put on a defensive posture. However, when he saw the surrounding situation clearly, But only a wry smile remained.
I was on a small boat with a mast and a sail, and there were several wooden barrels and wooden boxes piled up behind the boat. From the damaged area of one of the wooden boxes, I could see the contents inside. is food.
Looking farther away, there is nothing but the endless sea. Ethan is standing on such a small sailboat, and he doesn't know which piece of ocean he is floating on.
He sighed helplessly, at least he had food and water, so the situation wasn't too bad, but the current situation really left him speechless.
"Does this mean that I will play the second round?"
