Chapter 1896 Demigod Abyss Vines
After completing what he had to do, Leo decisively left the Holy City of Redemption. He did not even inform Melina and the others when he left. However, when he left, he still left Melina and the others some wizard potions that he had made before with various effects.
As for those people in the Doomsday School, Leo did not find out whether they made totem poles to interfere with the existing world laws as he thought. Now he has handed these things over to the Pope of the Redemption Order. If those people in the Doomsday School do not take the initiative, the Pope who has changed his mindset will help them to realize their doomsday prophecies more actively.
After leaving the Redemption Order, Leo's route turned back to the north, but he did not intend to answer the Miral Plain, but was ready to go to Satoran, the capital of knowledge in this world.
Leo made the decision to leave the Holy City in a short time after arriving in the Holy City. Before that, Leo was still thinking about staying in the Holy City to help Sylvia complete what she wanted to do, but then he found that Sylvia did not seem to need his help urgently. He even had a feeling that Sylvia did not want him to stay in the Holy City, so he had the idea of going to other places after collecting all the books in the Great Library.
However, he had only recently decided to choose Satoran as the next destination, because he knew from the Holy Priestess of Civilization that the place with the most books in the world was not the Holy City of Redemption, but Satoran, the capital of knowledge in the north.
Before the disaster came to this world, many people had already considered the problem of the devastating disaster coming to this world. The most discussed issue was how to preserve the fire of civilization in the disaster, and then take out the preserved fire of civilization after the disaster subsided to restore the world civilization.
So, they chose a place they thought was the safest and built a city dedicated to storing various books. Every year, they would transport all kinds of newly published books to that city for storage. When building the city, they also considered the problem of energy crystal instability and explosion, so they built the energy plant of that city in an area 20 kilometers away from the city.
However, later, a shelter was built in the city, and a defense circle was built outside the city, which doubled the energy demand. In order to prevent the city from energy crisis forever, fourteen energy plants were built around the city, and each energy plant was also equipped with a super-large energy crystal storage warehouse.
So when the disaster broke out, although the City of Knowledge Satoran was not damaged, the surrounding energy plants were all covered with abyss vines, and these abyss vines were connected to each other, completely wrapping Satoran inside.
The Order of Redemption also launched an expedition to try to clear the abyss vines there and recapture Satoran, so that they could use the fire of civilization stored in Satoran to quickly complete the redemption of the entire world.
However, the abyss vines around Satoran were completely different from the abyss vines in other places. Most of the methods they had mastered at the time to purify and isolate the abyss vines were ineffective, and those methods that could be used ultimately achieved very little effect, so the expedition inevitably ended in failure. In order to prevent the will of the believers of the Order of Redemption from being shaken, the relevant records of the expedition were also sealed up, and only a few of the high-level members of the order could consult them.
Although the expedition to recapture Satoran failed, during this operation, they also discovered that Satoran, which was wrapped in abyss vines, was not damaged, and the fire of civilization stored there was also well preserved.
When the Holy Priestess of Civilization revealed this to Leo, she clearly hoped to use his power to get rid of the abyss vines around Satoran so that they could truly recapture Satoran.
Leo had no objection to this. In his opinion, getting rid of the abyss vines was just a matter of convenience. What he was really interested in was whether Satoran really stored all the books in the world as the Holy Priestess of Civilization said.
The Holy Priestess of Civilization could not give an answer to this, because before the disaster, Satoran was a world-class restricted area. Only those who were allowed could enter Satoran, and most of these people were scholars. As for others, even those teams transporting books could only stay outside the city. In addition, few people left Satoran, so the outside world knew very little about everything about Satoran. The only thing that was certain was that all the books in the world must be stored there.
After hearing everything about Satoran, Leo was not unfamiliar, because in his biochemical memory, there were a large number of special civilization fire storage bases like Satoran, but at the same time he could feel that the city of Satoran might not only be used to store civilization fire, but also a disguised shell.
Knowledge and secrets were very attractive to Leo, so he quickly decided to go to Satoran.
In an environment where blizzards often blow, ordinary people may have difficulty moving, but for Leo, there is no obstacle. He even uses the strong wind generated by the blizzard to speed up his flight.
Although he encountered some things on the way, such as encountering a redemption caravan trapped in a blizzard, being attacked by some mutant birds, etc., these did not cause too many obstacles to him, and he easily solved the troubles caused by these things.
Seven days later, he finally arrived at Satoran, the city of knowledge in the far north of this world, and saw the mutant abyss vines that the Civilization Goddess said caused the expeditionary army to suffer a great loss.
"Demigod creature?" Leo immediately made a judgment at the first sight of the mutant abyss vines.
These abyss vines in front of him are completely different from the abyss vines in those cities. The surface of these abyss vines is all black, and they are covered with a lot of scales like rust. The scales are also covered with blood vessel patterns. All the patterns are connected to form a picture containing the power of the abyss.
All the abyssal vines were not entangled together, but grew straight up like trees, and were close to each other. From a distance, they looked like a wall towering into the sky. At the top of the abyssal vines, clusters of abyssal flames with a breath of destruction were burning violently. The abyssal breath emitted by the flames dyed the entire sky black. With the sound of thunder, blood-red lightning flashed across the sky and fell on the abyssal flames, bursting out with shrill screams that were enough to drive ordinary people crazy.
Although it seemed that these abyssal vines were individuals, Leo knew very well that the abyssal vines that wrapped around the City of Knowledge Satoran were actually a whole, and a demigod creature equivalent to an eighth-level psychic.
There is no doubt that when the Redemption Expeditionary Force came here, the Abyss Vine they saw was definitely not like this now, otherwise, it would be impossible for anyone to go back alive. Ordinary people would be affected by the Abyss Aura here, not to mention entering the area where the Abyss Vine is rooted, even in the area a few kilometers away. The extent of the Abyss Aura pollution here can be seen from the snowfield beasts in the surrounding areas with obvious mutations.
The Expeditionary Force came here 24 years ago, and it is obviously unreasonable for this Abyss Vine to evolve into a demigod creature of the eighth-level psychic in just 24 years. There must be external forces involved.
Moreover, Leo also found that although the Abyss Vine in front of him had the power and might of a demigod, it did not have the corresponding spiritual intelligence. Leo could not feel any aura of an intelligent creature on the Abyss Vine. It was just a plant with a strong shell. This is why Leo judged that the Abyss Vine in front of him was catalyzed by external forces.
If the abyss vines in front of him had the wisdom to match their power, Leo might need to spend a lot of effort to deal with them, and even use all means to remove them. After all, it is already difficult to drive away the abyss creatures at the demigod level, not to mention that the difficulty of completely clearing out the demigod abyss creatures is doubled.
But now, although this abyss creature has evolved to the level of demigods, it does not have the corresponding demigod wisdom, and still relies on the original plant instinct. Therefore, in Leo's eyes, this abyss vine in front of him is not only not an obstacle, but a rare gift.
Leo quickly sorted out the solution in his mind, and then landed directly on the periphery of the abyss energy field created by the vines, and then used the power of nightmare and the power of the abyss snake to imitate the same abyss energy fluctuations, and then walked into the energy field.
When Leo's body was completely wrapped by the energy field of the Abyss Vine, the Abyss Vine energy disguised on Leo's body immediately merged with the surrounding energy field. In an instant, Leo felt that he had turned into the Abyss Vine. He felt all the secrets hidden in the Abyss Vine, but these secrets seemed to be covered by a layer of gauze, making him feel vague. At the same time, he also felt the location of the fragile plant consciousness in the Abyss Vine.
The moment Leo discovered the plant's instinctive consciousness, he attacked it. Facing Leo's true demigod consciousness, the plant consciousness of the Abyss Vine itself had no ability to resist at all, and was instantly swallowed up by Leo's demigod consciousness. Before the Abyss Vine collapsed due to the loss of its original consciousness, Leo separated a part of his consciousness and disguised it as plant consciousness and re-entered the Abyss Vine.
At this moment, all the power of the Abyss Vine was connected to Leo's consciousness clone. All the mysteries of the Abyss Vine, which was previously covered with a layer of gauze, flowed into his consciousness, and Leo introduced all these mysterious knowledge into the Stone Throne. At the same time, a pillar shaped like an Abyss Vine appeared on the Stone Pillar Square.
Although it only took a moment for Leo to devour the Abyss Vine in the consciousness space, it was a long process in the real world. After entering the Abyss Vine energy field, Leo stood in the same place for more than 20 days, and his body was completely covered with snow.
One day, he suddenly opened his glasses, and the snow on his body was instantly blown away by an invisible energy, and the Abyss Vine energy field surrounding him disappeared instantly. The Abyss Vine, which was like a high wall in front of him, began to retract underground. At the same time, the mysterious blood-red patterns on the surface emitted bursts of light, which expanded and contracted like blood vessels, and with the expansion and contraction, each Abyss Vine with a diameter of tens of meters quickly shrank.
Ten minutes later, all the abyss vines that enveloped the entire City of Knowledge, Satoran, retracted into the ground, leaving behind only a circle of bottomless pits as deep as the abyss, making the area where Satoran was located an isolated zone like an island.
Because of the loss of the support of the abyss power, the black sky that looked extremely depressing gradually dissipated, and the color of the sky that should have been there was slowly recovering. The surrounding environment seemed to be returning to normal little by little, but in fact, without the restraint of the abyss vines, the free abyss breath began to spread around and pollute everything around.
And underground, this demigod-level abyss vine did not stop changing. The vines twisted and swallowed each other, and the number of vines decreased from hundreds of thousands to thousands, and then to hundreds. Although these vines swallowed and merged with each other, their body shape did not grow, but shrank rapidly. When only one vine was swallowed, the vine had shrunk to a length of several centimeters.
At this time, the vine came out from the ground, swam towards Leo like a snake, and then climbed up Leo's body, along the arm to the finger of the right hand, and finally wrapped around the index finger of the right hand, and merged into the skin of the finger, looking like a circle of tattoos.
At this moment, Leo could hardly hide his smile. After all, not everyone can have a demigod clone that can be fully controlled, and this demigod clone can continue to be cultivated and improved. It is not impossible for it to be promoted to an Omega-level higher life form together with Leo.
Taking a deep breath, suppressing the excessive joy in his heart, Leo began to sort out the large amount of abyss knowledge obtained from the abyss vines. These abyss knowledge are the mysteries engraved in the original blood of the abyss creatures. Only after completing a certain stage of evolution can they be directly obtained from the blood, and each abyss creature is different.
If Leo had not appeared, in a few decades, perhaps the plant instinctive consciousness in the abyss vines could stimulate the demigod wisdom through these abyss knowledge. By then, it would be basically impossible to recover it as easily as it is now, or even impossible to recover it at all. At least in Leo's memory, there is no example of a demigod abyss creature being recovered as a clone.
By mastering this knowledge about the abyss, Leo quickly knew what this abyss vine that he had never seen before was. At the same time, he had more questions in his mind, because this plant could not leave the abyss, so it was absolutely impossible for it to appear in other worlds.
