Chapter 591: Things Inside the Nest

After his astral projection followed the sea power and expanded outward, Lu Mian immediately felt the existence of this "sea area" itself.

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

Lu Mian let his astral projection, mixed with sufficient sea power, pounce over and merge with that phantom.

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

His spirit began to spread infinitely, taking control of that illusory sea that was as brilliant as a dream.

In this process, he saw the phantom of Juan Oro, saw the phantom of "Ultraman" Lato Giaro, and saw phantoms that were completely unfamiliar.

Those who had returned to the "Sea"? They seemed to have all turned into water droplets in the "sea"... Lu Mian withdrew his gaze from Juan Oro, who had a joyful face, and Lato Giaro, who had a painful face, withdrew it from the illusory sea, and cast it toward the depths of the tunnel ahead. Across a not-so-short distance, he directly saw the "Mad Woman."

Inside the silver-gray behemoth, there were things gestating in the flesh "bird's nest," and there were alien organisms like Batins black worms and "Little Devils." It must exist in the Spirit Realm, only the Spirit Realm here was completely disconnected from the outside Spirit Realm. Therefore, here, those Beyonders who were good at summoning Spirit Realm creatures to help would lose their greatest reliance, and the "teleportation" relying on the Spirit Realm could be used relatively normally, only they couldn't go out directly and could only leave from the energy channel at the exit, or break the outer wall themselves to let the inner and outer Spirit Realms connect.

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

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

After Lu Mian locked onto the "Mad Woman" 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 Woman" instantly became heavy, as if it had become solid. This drove the bending of the illusory curtain, shrinking the corresponding area into a dark, transparent "sphere."

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

The Spirit Realm inside the "sphere" and the Spirit Realm 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. In the outside world, with Lu Mian's current level and the sea power he mastered, it would be very difficult to completely isolate an area from the vast and boundless Spirit Realm. He could only use the "Void Starry Sky," leaving behind 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 Woman" 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 her "recorded" abilities and the items on her that could solve the current predicament.

Seeing this scene, Lu Mian 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 single magic spell from a "Cinderella" demigod, had made the "Mad Woman," 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 shake off.

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

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

"Hurry over, hurry over!

"I want to go over!"

The "Mad Woman" only felt the voice of desire in her heart getting louder and louder, almost condensing into a substantial desire.

And that desire collided with her chest, wanting to tear apart the restraints, act on its own, and break free from the predicament.

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

He didn't go to think about what was going on. An illusory book appeared in the depths of his dark eyes.

This book projected in front of Mr. K, flipping rapidly while chanting in a low voice:

"I came, I saw, I recorded."

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

After herding the "Traveler," the three Beyonder abilities he chose were "Flash," "Record," and "Traveler's Door"—which was also called "Teleport" or "Travel." And relying on "Record," he had recorded such an ability possessing divine 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 Woman" who hadn't yet touched the gate of divinity.

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

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

Then, she felt a sharp pain.

She didn't need to lower her head; just relying on the corner of her eye, 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 some flesh surging out, turning into a human shape similar to her, instantly pouncing out of the dark "sphere" Lu Mian had created, pouncing toward the depths of the metal tunnel.

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

Pfft!

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

The "Mad Woman," wearing that ring with flesh magic, didn't die directly. Her body, split into two halves, squirmed, trying to re-aggregate, but all efforts were annihilated by the deep darkness left behind by the greatsword. Those pieces of flesh couldn't establish a connection again at all.

"Come on, come on..." The "Mad Woman'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 halves of her body fell to the ground with a thump.

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

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

Lu Mian, 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 figure actively fell down, pouncing onto the ground.

The flesh that originally belonged to the "Mad Woman" instantly seeped into the metal floor, and the grayish-white mist was also seen to be about to be absorbed.

Suddenly, the entire tunnel trembled, and Lu Mian "saw" that pear-shaped thing composed of flesh and membranes once again.

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

A terrifying suction force erupted along with it. Whether it was Lu Mian, who was the temporary "Viceroy of the Sea," or Mr. K, both flew up involuntarily, flying toward the depths of the metal tunnel, just as if an invisible hand was grabbing them, dragging them toward the core position of the silver-gray behemoth.

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

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

At this time, Lu Mian, as the "Viceroy of the Sea," with the help of the temporary authority he possessed, "saw" the situation of the flesh "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 dots and deep dark matter transmitted from the surrounding flesh ropes were flowing faster and faster.

Through the membranes and flesh that were tightened to the extreme, Lu Mian 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 wasn't big, and a disk-shaped outer edge had formed around it.

This... Lu Mian instinctively recalled some scientific concepts and corresponding simplified scenes that his sister Aurora had once told him, finding a term that relatively matched what he was "seeing" right now:

Black hole!

"Did the ancestors of the Abraham family and Amon seal a black hole? A black hole that hasn't truly taken shape yet and is still gestating in the occult matrix? Is this the thing that the citizens of Santa Port are worshipping?" Lu Mian was stunned as multiple thoughts flashed through his mind, having an absurd feeling that this was neither scientific nor occult.

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, Lu Mian almost lost consciousness. Not only was his body being thrown toward the flesh "bird's nest," but even his thoughts, spirit body, and fate were also approaching that direction.

Mr. K was the same.

They were one after another, with the drifting corpse parts of the "Mad Woman" and several items mixed in between.

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

Splash!

The azure giant waves like mountain peaks and the emerald seawater like well walls collapsed with a roar, filling toward the seabed.

Suddenly, dots of brilliant starlight fell from high altitude.

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

This holder of the Great 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 door, following that suction force, and "merged" into the silver-gray behemoth.
