Chapter 591: Things Inside the Nest

~10 min read 1,900 words

After his astral projection followed the sea's power and spread outward, Lumian immediately felt the existence of this "sea area" itself.

This was not an ocean in the true sense, but an illusory ocean composed of a patch of brilliant starlight, with the projection of the silver-gray behemoth at the core of the ocean.

Lumian let his astral projection, mixed with sufficient sea power, pounce over and overlap with that phantom.

His left chest suddenly became scorching hot, and vaguely, it was as if he had received some kind of recognition.

His spirit began to spread infinitely, taking control of that brilliant, dream-like illusory ocean.

During this process, he saw the phantom of Juan Oro, saw the phantom of "Salted Egg Superman" Lato Giaro, and saw phantoms of people he was completely unfamiliar with.

Those who returned to the "sea"? They seemed to have turned into water droplets in the "sea"... Lumian withdrew his gaze from Juan Oro, who had a joyful face, and Lato Giaro, who had a painful face, withdrew it from the illusory ocean, and cast it toward the depths of the tunnel ahead, seeing the "Mad Lady" directly across a not-so-short distance.

Inside the silver-gray behemoth, there were things gestating in the flesh-and-blood "bird's nest," and there were alien creatures like Batins black worms and "Little Devils." It was inevitable that there was a Spirit World, but the Spirit World here was not connected to the outside Spirit World at all. Therefore, here, those Beyonders who were good at summoning Spirit World creatures to help would lose their biggest reliance, while "teleportation" completed by relying on the Spirit World could be used relatively normally, only it couldn't go out directly, and could only leave from the energy channel at the exit, or break the outer wall by themselves, letting the inner and outer Spirit Worlds connect.

At the same time, the closer to where the flesh-and-blood "bird's nest" was, the more special the Spirit World here was, just like the air gradually becoming viscous until it became solid, hindering the approach of the "flying bird."

Such an environment, plus not having truly seen the flesh-and-blood "bird's nest" and obtained positioning in a "what you see is what you get" way, meant the "Mad Lady" couldn't "teleport" over directly and could only "flash" distance by distance, not sparing her spirituality at all.

After Lumian locked onto the "Mad Lady" and the area in front of her, he suddenly stretched out his right hand and clenched it into a fist.

The air around the "Mad Lady" instantly became heavy, as if it had substance, which drove the bending of the illusory curtain, shrinking the corresponding area into a dark, transparent "sphere."

The "Mad Lady's" figure disappeared again, but was pulled out directly by the invisible giant force that bent this area, falling downward.

The Spirit World inside the "sphere" and the Spirit World inside the silver-gray behemoth also had a separation under the authority of the "Viceroy of the Sea"!

Of course, this was also thanks to the special environment here. If it were in the outside world, with Lumian's current level and the sea power he mastered, it would be very difficult to completely isolate an area from the vast and boundless real Spirit World. He could only use the "Void Starry Sky," leaving a road that could lead out, a gate representing the exit, and hiding them, and this would be countered by the "Traveler's" ability.

The "Mad Lady" did another "flash," but still couldn't escape from the dark "sphere."

She stopped on the spot, standing there, seriously thinking about whether there was anything in the abilities she had "recorded" and the items on her that could solve the current predicament.

Seeing this scene, Lumian felt a yearning for the demigod level arise spontaneously.

Just a "Viceroy of the Sea" who had obtained temporary authority, just a fake demigod who couldn't even resist a magic spell from a "Cinderella" demigod, had made the "Mad Lady," who had been so active before and whom even Mr. K couldn't control in a short time, fall into a predicament that was difficult to get rid of.

The "Mad Lady" looked at the depths of the metal tunnel representing the flesh-and-blood "bird's nest," her face full of undisguised urgency, anticipation, and excitement.

She was very dissatisfied with being restricted here and unable to go to her destination, impatiently wanting to break free.

"Go over, go over!

"I want to go over!"

The "Mad Lady" only felt the voice of craving in her heart getting louder and louder, almost forming a desire of substance.

And that desire collided with her chest, wanting to tear apart the restraints, act on its own, and get rid of the predicament.

Mr. K, who had long since switched to the "Traveler" soul, caught up and saw the "Mad Lady."

He didn't think about what was going on, and an illusory book appeared in the depths of his dark eyes.

This book projected in front of Mr. K, turning rapidly while whispering and chanting:

"I came, I saw, I recorded."

After a blink, Mr. K turned into a half-giant wearing cold black armor, two or three meters tall, holding a deep, dark, straight greatsword in his hand.

After herding the "Traveler," he chose the three Beyonder abilities of "Flash," "Record," and "Traveler's Gate"—also called "Teleport" or "Travel"—and he relied on "Recording" to record a powerful ability with divinity influence from a certain saint of the "Aurora Order." Although the effect was only half of the original version, it was enough to deal with the "Mad Lady" who hadn't touched the gate of divinity yet.

Mr. K took a big stride and swung the deep, dark, straight greatsword.

Just at this moment, the "Mad Lady's" chest reached the extreme of being collided by desire.

Then, she felt a sharp pain.

She didn't need to lower her head; just relying on her peripheral vision, she saw the flesh on her chest tearing inch by inch, the white bones breaking one by one, and a mass of grayish-white mist mixed with part of the flesh and blood surging out, turning into a human shape similar to her, instantly rushing out of the dark "sphere" Lumian had created, rushing toward the depths of the metal tunnel.

Don't be in such a hurry to leave! Seeing this scene, the "Mad Lady" was not only not terrified but full of excitement, carrying a bit of regret.

Poof!

Mr. K's deep black greatsword slashed open the dark sphere, slashing the "Mad Lady" into two halves diagonally.

The "Mad Lady," wearing that ring with flesh-and-blood magic, didn't die directly. Her body, split into two halves, had flesh and blood squirming, trying to re-aggregate, but all efforts were annihilated by the deep darkness left by the greatsword on the spot, and those flesh and blood couldn't establish a connection again at all.

"Come on, come on..." The "Mad Lady's" still-intact head wanted to provide help to her body, but soon felt the annihilation of her soul.

Her vision turned black, and her two unevenly separated body halves fell to the ground with a thump.

Neither Mr. K nor Lumian paid any more attention to this core member of "April Fools'," focusing their attention on the grayish-white human figure rushing toward the depths of the metal tunnel.

That was half mist and half flesh and blood, both real and illusory.

Lumian, the temporary "Viceroy of the Sea," locked onto the target and the surrounding area again, intending to mobilize all the sea power he could mobilize.

At this time, the grayish-white human figure took the initiative to fall down, rushing onto the ground.

The flesh and blood originally belonging to the "Mad Lady" instantly seeped into the metal floor, and the grayish-white mist was also seen to be absorbed.

Suddenly, the whole tunnel trembled, and Lumian "saw" that pear-shaped thing composed of flesh and blood and membranes again.

The flesh and membranes on its surface sank inward again, outlining a disk-shaped contour.

A terrifying suction force erupted, and whether it was Lumian, who was the temporary "Viceroy of the Sea," or Mr. K, they couldn't help but fly up, flying toward the depths of the metal tunnel, as if an invisible hand was grabbing them, dragging them toward the core position of the silver-gray behemoth.

The corpse of the "Mad Lady," split into two halves, and the items on her also flew into mid-air, rushing toward the destination she had craved before her death like a flood.

The human figure outlined by the grayish-white mist seeped further into the metal floor and was absorbed by a portion.

At this time, Lumian, as the "Viceroy of the Sea," with the help of the temporary authority he possessed, "saw" the situation of the flesh-and-blood "bird's nest" in the depths of the metal tunnel more clearly than just now:

The flesh and membranes of this pear-shaped thing were sinking more and more, and the starlight light points and deep dark substances transmitted from the surrounding flesh-and-blood ropes were flowing faster and faster.

Through the membranes and flesh that were tightened to the extreme, Lumian vaguely "sensed" the thing gestating inside the pear-shaped thing.

That was a deep black vortex that could swallow all colors and all light. This vortex was not big, and a disk-shaped outer edge was formed around it.

This... Lumian instinctively thought of some scientific concepts and corresponding simplified scenes that his sister Aurora had told him about, and found a term that roughly matched what he was "seeing" now:

Black hole!

"The ancestors of the Abraham family and Amon sealed a black hole? A black hole that hasn't truly formed yet and is still gestating in the mystical mother body? Is this what the citizens of Santa Harbor are worshipping?" Lumian was stunned as multiple thoughts flashed through his mind, having a feeling of absurdity that was neither scientific nor mystical.

At the same time, he also sensed that the "black hole"-like thing seemed to be connected to another place, where there was a deep, heavy, extremely dense, terrifying, and vast aura looking down at this world.

With a hum, Lumian almost lost consciousness. Not only was his body being thrown toward the flesh-and-blood "bird's nest," but even his thoughts, spirit body, and fate were approaching that direction.

Mr. K was the same.

They were one after another, sandwiched with the drifting "Mad Lady's" corpse parts and several items.

Outside the silver-gray behemoth, Fors and the others also felt the terrifying suction force coming from the seabed, feeling that the place had become the center of a giant vortex, wanting to roll everything around into it.

Splash!

The mountain-like azure giant waves and the well-wall-like emerald seawater collapsed, filling toward the seabed.

Suddenly, dots of brilliant starlight fell from the high altitude.

Ms. "Magician" appeared there, wearing a deep black wizard's robe, embroidered with stars flickering with silver light.

This holder of the Major Arcana card pointed her right hand toward the silver-gray behemoth on the seabed, her figure appearing to be in a superimposed state of being both here and not here, sometimes clear and sometimes blurry.

Every dot of brilliant starlight turned into an illusory gate, following that suction force, and "melted" into the silver-gray behemoth.
