Chapter 559 Entering the Endless Abyss (7K)
"Divine power?"
The girl thought for a while: "I have never thought about it from this perspective, because there is no researchability."
"For gods, it may be possible to break through the time dragon's time stream, but it may require a specific priesthood."
Tang Sen rubbed his eyebrows. Indeed, he might know more about gods than the girl in front of him.
He can be sure that gods with powerful divine power or some gods with special vocations can deal with the power emanating from the corpse of the Time Dragon, but this does not include him who currently only has a weak deception divinity.
"I'm still a little anxious."
Tang Sen worked hard to adjust his mentality.
He was indeed eager to devour the Time Dragon, but the reality was that even if he placed a mountain of gold and silver in front of him, he would not be able to eat it if he did not have enough strength.
The only way is to wait until you are strong enough before coming back.
The good news is that this place is hidden enough that even the sight of the gods cannot touch it, and it is safe enough. Except for some gods and another time dragon, there should be no other existence that can take away or destroy this time dragon.
You still have time to take your time.
"So, you can't help me get the body of the Time Dragon?" Tang Sen's face turned cold: "Since you can't do it, I really can't think of a reason to take you out."
Varro opened his mouth and wanted to interrupt, but Tang Sen glared back.
The girl's eyes suddenly dimmed.
Tang Sen said nothing and kept observing the girl's reaction, but the girl just stood there, seeming to be thinking hard about what else could impress Tang Sen.
This person's idea is quite simple.
Even in her desperate situation, she never thought of expedient deception.
Too easily manipulated.
Guessing that the atmosphere was almost brewing, Tang Sen spoke again: "Of course, I can't give you a chance."
"What chance?" Because of the despair just now, the girl's emotions were obviously affected.
"I have a way to obtain the body of the Time Dragon, but it will take time and your help." Tang Sen said slowly: "You have always wanted to leave this place, so I have a question. After leaving here, you What do you want to do?”
"What to do?" the girl repeated, looking confused again.
"I really want to leave here, but I've forgotten too many things, even what it's like outside."
"I don't know."
Doesn't it seem like the only obsessions left are wanting to live and wanting to leave?
Tang Sen's tone softened a little: "I'll take you out. Before I get the body of the Time Dragon, you just follow me."
"Just treat it as the price of taking you out." He added: "This is no longer a fair deal, but based on your situation, I reluctantly made an exception."
"Okay." The girl nodded without hesitation.
Varro looked at all this with a strange expression.
It always felt like he was watching an abduction scene, but he couldn't find any evidence.
Of course, Tang Sen didn't care about Varro's thoughts. He was very skilled in this series of operations.
If he could do it, Tang Sen hoped to master the girl's life box and completely control the other party in his hands. Unfortunately, he couldn't do it because he didn't have the ability to cross the timeline to get the other party's life box.
But this is not bad. Tang Sen believes that with his control over people's hearts, he will not be betrayed.
"Apart from this time dragon, are there any other notable places in this demiplane?" Tang Sen then asked the girl.
"No more." The girl shook her head, but then paused: "If you want, I can take you around. Except for the time turbulence in some places, which is particularly dangerous, other places are fine. Safety."
Tang Sen nodded.
Of course, he wouldn't completely believe the girl's words. Since he decided to take the other person out, it was best to believe what he said.
However, after spending two days looking around, Tang Sen did not find any place similar to the Time Dragon's treasure house. This place seemed to be just the final resting place found by the Time Dragon.
This is a bit strange, after all, any dragon species - including time dragons, if possible, will choose to enter eternal sleep with their treasure trove, unless something unexpected happens.
However, Tang Sen just thought about it and didn't take it seriously. Although the treasure and the like were of some significance to Tang Sen, they were far less valuable than the time dragon itself.
"Then let's get ready to leave here."
After confirming that there was nothing else to gain, Tang Sen decided directly.
"It's best to take these research materials with you!" Varro quickly reminded: "Although not all the ideas in the research here are feasible, but because of its particularity, many researches have never been exposed to the outside world. If you take If all these studies are integrated, it may even be possible to find a way to cast spells that does not rely on magic nets."
He picked up a few pieces of paper and said: "For example, these research materials are still very basic, but I tried it and found that I can actually perform some weak tricks in this environment!"
Tang Sen looked at him with a half-smile: "Bypassing the magic net to cast a spell? If such information spreads, the goddess of magic probably won't want to see it."
As the anchor of the Magic Goddess, does this guy expect to dig into the Magic Goddess's foundation?
"We cannot let the information that these countless spellcasters have studied alone for so many years in order to survive be left in a place like this." Varro said: "The value of knowledge is most dazzling when it is known to others."
"What do you think?" Tang Sen looked at the girl.
"Whatever." The girl said calmly: "As long as I can leave this place, these studies are meaningless to me."
Tang Sen raised his eyebrows: "No, you have to continue your research on time. I need this knowledge from you."
"Okay." The girl nodded.
So all the information was classified and packaged. In this chaotic demiplane, even Tang Sen had no way to reopen the demiplane. He could only carry the information directly on his shoulders. Fortunately, Tang Sen's His physique is extremely strong, and these are not a burden to him at all.
"How do we leave?" Varro asked: "Teleporting to another world is a bit dangerous. It would be great if we could teleport directly to the surface world."
"If I could do this kind of thing, I wouldn't have met you." Tang Sen glanced at him: "Then why am I still exploring the Dark Area? Just teleport away."
The last time he was in Faerun, Tang Sen did not master any high-level spells, and naturally there was no anchor point for teleportation in the surface world. In this case, even using the Great Wishing Spell to teleport would be extremely risky. .
This is why whether it was Barn at the beginning or Varro this time, when they saw Tang Sen appearing alone, their first reaction was that there was something wrong with the teleportation spell - this spell is indeed quite dangerous.
"Then let's—" Varro realized that he had said too much and simply shut up.
Tang Sen closed his eyes first, and the magic power in his body circulated, leaving a spatial anchor in this demiplane.
He didn't want to have to re-enter the bottom of the Underdark to try his luck after leaving here.
Of course, this alone is not safe. After all, this place is full of time turbulence, and the space anchor is likely to be directly consumed by the power of time.
He thought for a while, and his consciousness sank into the space of his thoughts.
Smaug was bored and studying his Thunder Fruit ability. Corybusso obtained in the previous world was still in solidification. Tang Sen could not use the divine power in her body for the time being. Daisy was floating quietly next to Smaug. Her self-awareness has not yet matured, and she has no such emotion as boredom.
Of course, there are a lot of other debris piled here.
The most dazzling thing is naturally the Mythra Core. This powerful magical creation was placed far away by Tang Sen to prevent its escaping magic power from affecting other items in the mind space.
In addition, there is also a stone chest of Aztec gold coins, Jack Sparrow's compass, and the Gate of the Abyss.
After thinking for a moment, Tang Sen thought and Daisy was summoned to the demiplane.
Varro was startled by the magical creature that appeared out of thin air and was composed of black threads and flames, exuding an aura of darkness and destruction.
"What is this?"
"You can be understood as my magic pet." Tang Sen said casually.
But Daisy was very happy with this title, spinning around Tang Sen happily.
"Daisy, just stay here and sleep." Tang Sen said in a gentle tone: "Just in time, you also need time to grow up."
Choosing Daisy to stay in this demiplane as his anchor was the result of Tang Sen's careful consideration.
Tang Sen didn't believe in the effect of the spell, and he would never risk losing the body of the Time Dragon. Therefore, he must have a strong anchor to ensure that he can come back.
The connection between the mind space and Daisy should be the most powerful bond in this world. Tang Sen believes that even the power of time is not enough to break this bond.
This is also a good thing for Daisy. Now her strength can no longer keep up with what she wants to do. Instead of staying in the mind space, it is better to accelerate her growth in the turbulence of time - anyway, for someone like Obscurus For magical creatures, lifespan is not a problem.
Of course Daisy would not have any objections to Tang Sen's decision, but Smaug seemed a little depressed after seeing this scene.
"It won't be long." Tang Sen whispered.
This sentence is said to Daisy, to Smaug, and of course, to myself.
Suppress the restless desire in your heart to obtain the power of time.
"lets go."
Tang Sen thought, and a door full of runes appeared in front of everyone.
"A door?" Varro looked inside the door: "Is this a portal to other worlds?"
"The world on the other side looks a bit familiar."
Before Varro could analyze it, Tang Sen had already stepped into the gate of the abyss, and of course the girl couldn't wait to follow him.
"Mr. Varro, are you reluctant to part with this demiplane?" Tang Sen stood in the abyss and looked back at Varro.
Varro quickly quickened his pace and entered the abyss.
The strong smell of sulfur suddenly filled his nostrils.
"This is the Endless Abyss!" Varro finally reacted, with a look of horror on his face, and quickly turned around, but Tang Sen had already put away the Gate of the Abyss.
"Wait! Is this how you leave that demiplane?"
Varro shouted: "Even if you use random teleportation directly, the worst result is to enter the endless abyss, right?"
"Really?" Tang Sen said calmly: "I thought you would be happier. After all, you might be able to write a book "Varro's Guide to the Endless Abyss" in the future."
"The premise is that I can return to Faerun alive!" Varro was about to continue, when he suddenly felt a creepy breath coming from the side.
He reflexively took a few steps back before looking towards the source of fear.
I saw that the girl's body had floated naturally at some point. Her silver-white hair that reached her ankles was floating behind her head as if without gravity, and her lavender pupils were as bright as two dazzling lights. lamp.
Magic power poured into her body like a whirlpool, which made the pressure she exuded stronger and stronger, even making Varo unable to stand at all.
"She feels the Weave again."
Tang Sen's expression was a little solemn. Although he was sure that the girl he saw in the demiplane would not fight against him, he still had to be on guard against whether the girl would regain some other qualities after she regained her strength.
For example, memories and personalities from long ago.
"This guy seems to be stronger than expected!" Varro stammered and shouted: "At least he is a legendary mage!"
"I'm afraid it's far more than that." Tang Sen squinted his eyes: "Ordinary legendary mages don't make such big movements."
The movement was indeed too great, and the whirlpool of magic swept away almost everything that could be seen around it. Even the dark red clouds above the endless abyss turned into a tornado shape under the influence of magic.
There is no doubt that such anomalies are not only visible to Tang Sen and Varo.
Also seeing this were the demons within a few dozen miles of the surrounding area.
And not only that, there is absolutely no way that the powerful demons in this abyss, including the demon lord, cannot sense such strong magic power fluctuations!
"I'm afraid it won't be safe here soon." Tang Sen said.
Tang Sen is not afraid of ordinary high-level demons. Even the Balor Fire Demon does not pose much of a threat to Tang Sen after Tang Sen masters divinity. But the demon lord is different.
If I remember correctly, the demon lord on this level even fought against Sazastan. Although Sazastan prevented the opponent's invasion, the opponent's strength should not be underestimated.
At least it is not something that a trace of deceitful divinity can resist, let alone Tang Sen's magical power that cannot even be released by legendary spells.
As for scattered abilities such as surgical fruits, there is no need to consider them at all. The level difference is too big.
"Then what should we do? Should we wake her up?" Varro asked cautiously.
As a lawful good person, it was certainly impossible for Varro to leave the girl behind and run away alone.
"Wait a moment. As a last resort, we can only return to the demiplane first."
Tang Sen frowned slightly.
There were already many little devils flying over here. When they saw the existence of humans from a distance, they suddenly became excited.
Such simple-minded little devils don't know how to measure combat power. They don't even have the emotion of fear in their hearts, only pure desire for killing and destruction.
Without thinking, they increased their speed and roared with inferior blades in their hands.
Tang Sen glanced at the girl. She didn't know what kind of strange state she was in, and she had no awareness of the outside world.
So he waved his hand, and flames suddenly ignited on the bodies of all the little demons who rushed over. The little demons screamed and tried to extinguish the flames, but in just an instant, they were reduced to ashes.
Of course, Tang Sen didn't need to spend much energy to deal with these inferior demons that ordinary adventurers could easily deal with.
Of course, those who rush towards him will not always be little devils. At least, Tang Sen has already seen a V-shaped devil, a six-armed snake devil, appearing in the distance.
The girl was still suspended in mid-air without any reaction.
"Mr. Tang, there are more and more demons!" Varro shouted: "I just said, how can anyone take the initiative to come to a ghost place like the Endless Abyss!"
"Didn't Mr. Elminster take the initiative to come to the Endless Abyss?" Tang Sen still had time to chat with Varro.
"I've been here. Is it time to talk about this now!" Varro collapsed a little. He could see that the six-armed snake demon was so close that he could clearly see the cruelty and bloodthirsty on his face.
As a writer, it might be easy for him to deal with one little devil, but it would be a bit difficult for him to deal with the two ends.
"What are you afraid of?" Tang Sen's surgical fruit ability has already reached its limit. At least, there is no trace of the demon lord yet.
As for the six-armed snake demon——
At this time, the cruelty on the other party's face had solidified, standing next to Tang Sen like a sculpture.
It would be too wasteful to kill this thing. After all, it is a V-shaped demon. Eating it can increase a lot of abyss power and physical fitness.
As for the Endless Canteen, if it weren't for the threat of the demon lord, Tang Sen would be as happy as returning home.
Moreover, the worst-case scenario did not happen.
Soon, those magic whirlpools finally disappeared completely, and the girl's body slowly fell to the ground.
"How do you feel?" Tang Sen asked proactively, squinting his eyes and carefully examining the girl's subtle expression.
"I heard some strange noises." The girl's tone was as usual, she explained calmly and patiently: "She seems to be very curious and angry."
"she?"
"Well, she said I had been out of her sight for too long. She was questioning whether I was still religious and what was going on with my body. I ignored her."
Tang Sen frowned slightly. It was obvious that the voice was related to the girl he used to be, so he asked, "Why ignore it?"
"I haven't completed the deal with you yet." The girl said truthfully: "If I want to find everything about my past, I have to help you get the body of the Time Dragon first. Moreover, I don't know if I want to find it now. Once upon a time.”
She looked up at the sky of the abyss: "Is this what it looks like outside? It's so broad. Did I live here before?"
"This is the abyss. The place you used to live in was probably the Dark Territory!" Varro interjected.
Tang Sen said nothing, but stared at the girl.
Doesn't the memory seem to be restored?
But he could feel the powerful power in the other party's body, which was stronger than any spell caster he had ever seen, including the mage who was awarded the legendary annual best spell research award, Martinus Ratli. strange.
I don't know if it's because the girl is inherently powerful, or because she has been in the twisted time for too long, or because of her weird lich state.
"Since that voice can detect you the moment you leave the influence of the Time Dragon, and can convey its voice to the abyss, I'm afraid she is the god you served before. No, you should use Him." Luo analyzed: "Did He tell you His name?"
"Rose." The girl said, "That voice is called Rose."
"Queen of the Spider God, Queen of the Pit Demon Web!" Varro exclaimed: "A chaotic evil god who controls assassination, chaos, darkness, dark elves, evil, spiders, etc.?"
Before Tang Sen and the girl could respond, he started to move involuntarily: "That's right. That makes sense."
"You are a drow, a follower of Lolth. At least you once were."
"Rose will never tolerate any believer betraying Him. This time He just questioned and asked you. This is a very rare situation. You may be special to her."
"Really?" The girl's reaction to everything Varro said was very dull, but she still said a few more words: "I seem to be able to find this name from my early research and records, but it no longer appears later. ”
"Probably because it won't be helpful for research to leave there."
"No, you don't understand what I'm talking about!" Varro emphasized: "You have entered the gaze of a god! Moreover, it is very likely that you will receive the wrath from him!"
"It doesn't matter."
Varro: "."
This mediocre reaction left Varo with nowhere to vent his intense emotions.
"Let's put this topic aside for now." Tang Sen finally said: "We have to move now. If we stay any longer, we will face the Abyss Lord head-on."
Only then did Varro react, and he was suddenly shocked: "That's right, get out of this hellish place quickly."
"There are still some preparations to be done before this." The divinity in Tang Sen's body surged out with divine power, and his body suddenly swelled into a majestic figure, turning into a huge Balot Fire Demon.
"Mr. Tang! You-" Varo was shocked so many times in a short period of time that he couldn't even speak.
"The best way to hide yourself in the abyss is to blend into the abyss, Mr. Varro."
The voice of Tang Sen, who turned into a fire demon, was very rich. The abyss fire and strong sulfur smell on his body made Varo couldn't help but retreat.
Then Varro noticed something was wrong.
He turned around suddenly and found a pair of bright red wings growing out of his back, flapping under his unconscious control.
He lowered his head again and saw only a pair of twisted, disgusting arms.
"What's wrong with me!" He roared sharply.
"As I said, Mr. Varro." Tang Sen said with a smile in his tone, "Integrate into the abyss."
Of course, the power of deceiving divinity can not only act on oneself. Of course, with Tang Sen's current influence on the priesthood, the effect on other people is not as significant as oneself.
"I understand your thoughts, Mr. Tang." Varro's tone was a little angry: "But, why did I turn into a lemure?"
"Unfortunately, my abilities are limited." Tang Sen said: "Fortunately, you don't need to fight, right?"
"At least lemures can fly. For a writer, this is a rare experience."
Tang Sen no longer paid attention to Varro, but looked at the girl.
"Do you need my help?"
"I want to try it myself first." The girl looked at the six-armed snake demon who was fixed by Tang Sen next to her, and began to chant a spell. In the light of the spell, she quickly transformed, and soon joined the eight-headed snake demon. There's no difference in the Brachiosaurus.
"It seems that you haven't forgotten the knowledge of those spells. This is good news." Tang Sen said: "Are you sure that the effects of the spells will not be seen? We may face the scrutiny of the abyss lord."
Of course, the transformation of the divine essence will not be discovered, and the effect of the spell will not be certain.
The six-armed snake demon tilted its head and twisted its tail unaccustomedly.
"Lord of the Abyss? I don't know, but I think I can't tell." She said, "I don't know how strong the Lord of the Abyss is."
"Then we'd better avoid him." Varro's evil demon interrupted.
There was another raging wave of demons coming from the distance. This was indeed not a place to stay for a long time. Tang Sen directly spread his wings, found a random direction and flew up.
"Wait for me!" Varro struggled to flap his little wings, his body dangling in the air.
Fortunately, the lemure's body structure is really light, and Varro is not a clumsy person. After a lot of hard work, he finally found the trick and could barely keep up with Tang Sen, who was flying slowly.
The six-armed snake demon has no wings, but flying is not difficult for girls.
Although the combination of the three was a bit strange, with the intimidation of the Balor Demon, no demon dared to approach, so they managed to stay away smoothly.
"Speaking of which, didn't she forget her name?" Varro suddenly said: "You can't always go without a title, right?"
The girl glanced at him and said, "Is this important?"
"Isn't it important?"
"unimportant."
Varro: "."
"If you forgot, then start a new one." Tang Sen came to the rescue: "Do you have any ideas?"
The girl said directly without any hesitation: "No."
"Shall I name you one?"
"good."
"Then let's call it Xue Xue." Tang Sen thought for a moment and said.
"good."
The girl really didn't care about this at all.
However, Varro was very curious and couldn't help but ask: "Why is it called this name?"
"Mr. Nvaro, curiosity will kill the cat."
