Chapter 1015

~9 min read 1,738 words

There was no Goddess of Beauty... she wasn't even the Goddess of Beauty; Miss Lisha was just the Goddess of Harvest, acting as the Goddess of Beauty's proxy for the time being.

There was no one Miss Lisha couldn't take down. Soon, Deke was swindled until she couldn't find north. The power of the Goddess of Beauty was top-notch; a shine of Holy Light could restore freshness, and Deke could not resist this temptation.

"Alright, the first treatment course is complete. As long as there are twelve consecutive courses, you should be able to recover to a state like mine," Miss Lisha said with a smile.

Miss Lisha did not restore Deke to a tender and fresh state all at once; the most profitable business is never to cure someone at once, but to let the water flow long, turning an acute illness into a chronic one.

Although Miss Lisha didn't need to make money now, extending the treatment time allowed Anthony sufficient time to scout the situation, allowed Silver Coin sufficient time to do business, and could also keep Deke hooked, making her more proactive.

Looking at her skin, which no longer secreted wax after one 'treatment course', Deke smiled so wide her mouth couldn't close. Whatever Miss Lisha said, she believed, and she was very obedient. Soon, she brought over a pile of female liches and introduced them to Miss Lisha.

A pile of female liches touched Deke's face and alchemical prosthetic limb, chatting away together.

While Miss Lisha was swindling Deke, Ang and the others were already inspecting this territory allocated to them.

After Anthony took a turn, he looked toward the distant Undead City with some emotion and said, "I thought this place was just a pile of ruins stacked together in a chaotic and disorderly way. I didn't expect it to be a forbidden area that condensed the laws of the void, with a certain object as the core, and then 'petals' formed by the trajectory lines of the explosion. I wonder what is inside that core?"

It wasn't just Anthony; the others were also shocked by the Undead City before them. The entire Undead City was like an exploded 'flower cluster', with at least sixteen trajectory lines exploding from the core, erupting outward and then descending back to the core, forming a trajectory line that was thick and round near the center and flat far away.

A large amount of matter was scattered along these sixteen trajectories, finally converging at the core point, like a huge 'flower ball'.

On the flat planes furthest from the center point, a large number of undead creatures gathered. The closer to the center point, the fewer the undead creatures. The so-called outer layer refers to these flat planes, and Deke was precisely the king of these flat planes.

Outside the entire 'flower cluster', there were still some small ruins floating. The 'small' ruin Deke settled them in was one such piece, but although it was called a small ruin, its volume was not small at all, even a bit larger than the Giant Crystal Plane, just not as dense.

How to describe it... it was like a mass of scorching magma erupting, bubbling while solidifying, and finally congealing into a porous, shapeless mass of volcanic rock, which then got stuck with a lot of waste materials like mud, gravel, and ice, becoming what it is now.

Whether it was the ruins or the 'flower ball', they were basically all built with this 'volcanic rock' as the skeleton.

After watching for a while, Du Luo Ken said, "When I was coming along the way, I started to analyze the formation here. It feels like something slammed into the core of the plane, blowing the plane apart. The magma inside the plane exploded and cooled, floating in a radial shape, but looking at it now, it doesn't seem like that."

"This looks more like an implosion, with huge pressure constraining the implosion until it couldn't hold on anymore, the constraint disappeared, the internal pressure was released, and then it exploded into what it is now. But this way, it can't explain the situation outside. The house where the Ritual Mask is located can still be kept intact; it clearly doesn't look like the power of this kind of implosion."

Nage Lisi also agreed: "If it were an implosion, the area where the Ritual Mask is located could not have remained so intact. That ruin looks more like it was shaken off the plane as a whole, and then after a long time, it gradually cracked and scattered."

Anthony said, "Didn't the Ritual Mask say that something blew up the plane with one strike? Ritual Mask, what did you see at that time?"

Before the Ritual Mask could speak, Du Luo Ken quickly took the Ritual Mask off and held it to the side.

Du Luo Ken now felt the disadvantage of wearing the Ritual Mask on his face; others would talk to him while facing the mask, especially Anthony, who always spoke to the Ritual Mask with an air of condescending pressure.

After all, the Ritual Mask was a newcomer; if he didn't suppress it, it would forget its positioning, which was not conducive to team building. But the problem was that the Ritual Mask was worn on Du Luo Ken's face.

However, this was easy to handle. Du Luo Ken held the Ritual Mask with one hand, letting it talk to Anthony, while his other hand began to take out a touchstone rod and materials, pointing at them. Soon, a shoulder armor with energy circuits was finished.

Clipping the shoulder armor onto his shoulder and then wearing the Ritual Mask on the shoulder armor, the shoulder armor had a two-layer rotating structure with two degrees of freedom, which could allow the Ritual Mask to rotate 270 degrees left and right, and 70 degrees up and down.

It's just that after this modification, Du Luo Ken couldn't sense dark elements, but it didn't matter; he already had an idea, and he would just let Ang help out when the time came.

Nage Lisi, Anthony, and the Ritual Mask talked for a long time without reaching any conclusion. Nage Lisi turned his head and happened to see Ang scratching his skull.

"Did you see something?" Nage Lisi asked hurriedly.

This dead skeleton could see many things, but he was generally not interested and wouldn't speak up voluntarily. Asking him every time wasn't realistic; if he got annoyed, nothing would get done, so for things that weren't particularly important, everyone generally wouldn't ask him.

Ang pointed to the very center of the 'flower cluster' and said, "Blocked it."

Nage Lisi's expression was startled, and he said, "You mean, something blocked it? This kind of attack that destroyed the entire plane was blocked by something?"

Ang nodded.

Du Luo Ken slapped his thigh: "That's it! This thing was in the plane's core. After the plane attack hit it, it was blocked by it, and the resulting impact force shook the soil layer on the plane's surface, exposing the liquid magma inside, and then the second strike blew up the magma core."

"Hiss—" With several consecutive sounds of gasping, Nage Lisi said in shock: "The attack that blew up the plane is one thing, but there's something that could block it? The Plane Will?"

"It can only be the Plane Will; otherwise, what kind of existence could block an attack of this power? But how was the magma core blown up? Even if the soil shell on the surface was shaken off, exposing the magma core, it wouldn't produce this implosion effect," Du Luo Ken said in confusion.

Everyone looked at Ang.

Ang reached out and pinched, and a black ball instantly appeared in his palm. The light around them suddenly dimmed, and everyone had the feeling of being sucked forward by this black ball.

Then Ang let go, *pop*, the black ball exploded, and a weak shockwave spread out; only then did everyone's feeling of leaning forward disappear.

Nage Lisi was shocked: "Big Mouth? You mean, someone used Big Mouth's power to bind the Plane Will and the magma core, and then blew it up, thereby producing an implosion?"

Ang nodded.

Anthony couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Those who can reach this level are probably Void Origins, right? Could it be that Big Mouth has brothers and sisters here too?"

"Ang, do you want to summon your main body over? If it's a Void Origin, relying on your current strength, you might not be able to beat it," Nage Lisi turned to Ang and said.

Ang scratched his skull, thinking without answering, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Instead, the Ritual Mask turned its face toward Du Luo Ken's direction and whispered, "What do they mean? Main body? That lord is already so perverted, and it's not his main body? If he can't beat it now, can he beat it by summoning his main body? Can that lord beat an existence that can blow up a plane with one strike?"

Du Luo Ken whispered in response: "The lord is just that kind of existence, um... forget it, you wouldn't understand the vegetable-planting origin of the unification of seven powers."

Du Luo Ken originally wanted to explain, but found it very troublesome to explain, so he simply didn't explain, leaving the Ritual Mask, who had only heard half of it, bewildered there.

Deke suddenly flew over, saw Ang and his group, and said somewhat strangely: "Eh, I just sensed the fluctuation of the Abyss Sage. Did you see the Abyss Sage? I was just about to go find him. Could I have sensed it wrong? That's not right; the Abyss Sage's fluctuation is unique."

Nage Lisi and the others looked at each other, and Anthony pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Abyss Sage? Which lord is the Abyss Sage? What is his fluctuation like?"

Deke was just about to speak, but found that Ang had raised his head to look in the direction of the Undead City. Everyone also looked up, and soon Deke shouted: "He's here, he's here, the Abyss Sage is here. I told you I sensed the Abyss Sage's fluctuation; sure enough, I wasn't wrong."

They saw a phantom sitting on a stone slab, reaching out and pointing forward, and this stone slab slid rapidly toward the front.
