Chapter 621: Red, Dangerous
Sitting inside the airship, traveling toward the God Realm without any obstruction, Negris was caught between laughter and tears. It had thought there would be some formidable method, but it hadn't expected it to be this simple.
The communicator was buzzing with calls. As soon as one connected, it said: "Markel, you guys are on vacation? Are you going to the God Kingdom?"
Markel kept responding: "Yeah, yeah, going back to the God Kingdom to play, we're on vacation."
"A once-a-year vacation, do you know how hard we've been waiting? It's been so long since I've had bean paste. When we get to the God Realm, we'll eat a ton. I'll even eat your share for you, hehe."
"Oh, oh, oh, you still have five months until your vacation? That's too bad. I'll have a good time, write down all the fun things, and tell you when I get back to make you happy."
"Oh, the proprietress of the Iron Hoof Tavern changed? Good, I'll go take a look. You want me to bring a message for you? 'Hope to die in your arms.' Good, no problem, I'll definitely deliver it."
They were busy the whole way. Seeing Markel's airship heading back, everyone knew he was on vacation and returning to the God Kingdom. It seemed that returning to the God Kingdom was a very happy thing.
Everyone offered their blessings, their tones filled with envy and jealousy. Either they wished he would die on a woman's belly, or they wished he would drink himself to death in bed; not a single one hoped for him to live well.
Just like that, they traveled without obstruction. Even the personnel at some checkpoints were too lazy to inspect them. According to them, inspecting souls heading to the God Kingdom to have fun was immoral.
"Isn't this too much of a joke? Isn't this too perfunctory?" Negris muttered. But it also knew that this was normal. After all, these were just creatures wandering in the void following the Main God, not well-trained warriors.
Perhaps they had never encountered infiltration or attacks in their entire lives, and might not have even seen a battle. The void was empty, with no one around; why would they need to guard against infiltration? Wasn't that just asking for trouble?
The effortless infiltration work soon drew to a close. A huge black shadow appeared in the distant void. The Ring of Scales on Ang's back flashed once, and immediately, Ang pulled out the Huang Tong Book and propped it in front of him.
The Huang Tong Book expanded to the height of a person, its pages opening wide, firmly blocking Ang's front.
A purple-black phantom emerged from Ang's body and drilled into the Huang Tong Book. The Huang Tong Book then shrank and closed.
This series of actions was extremely fast, so fast it was dazzling. It was completed before anyone could react; Markel and the others didn't even see what had happened.
They only saw Ang smash a large book in front of him, blocking his body, and then put it away.
Only Negris saw the purple-black phantom, and saw even more clearly the change after the phantom left Ang's body and entered the Huang Tong Book: a dull-witted 'Ang' stood blankly inside the page.
"What did you do? You sealed your power? Why? What did you see?" It took Negris a while to figure out what Ang had done. He had actually sealed most of his power into the Huang Tong Book and then stuffed the Huang Tong Book into the Palace of Rest.
Ang said: "Red, dangerous."
"Red?" Negris was stunned for a long while before it understood what Ang was saying. After seizing the Ring of Scales, Ang had awakened an ability to observe energy intensity. Things that made him feel dangerous appeared red in his eyes.
Green, ignore; yellow, be careful; red, very dangerous.
However, he rarely used this ability because very few things could make him feel dangerous, which led to Negris forgetting he even had this ability.
Ang suddenly sealed his power into the Huang Tong Book and stuffed the Huang Tong Book into the Palace of Rest; could it be that he had seen something that made him feel dangerous?
Negris's heart hung in the air. The Titan God King hadn't felt dangerous, and the Doom Serpent hadn't felt dangerous. Now, what was this thing that made him feel dangerous?
And there was another problem. Negris asked: "Is this okay? Your Palace of Rest is attached to your arm. If you lose your body, how will we get out?"
"Transit station, when dangerous, pull in." Ang said.
"Uh, alright. We can still enter and exit from the transit station, I almost forgot. You can even pull it in when necessary? You can even pull your body in while inside?" Negris was surprised.
Ang nodded but didn't demonstrate, because the huge black shadow in the void was already clearly visible.
A huge emerald-green sphere appeared in Negris's field of vision. Pure white clouds floated above the emerald green, occasionally dotted with some azure blue. The three colors were mottled and intertwined, looking very beautiful.
"Wow, what a beautiful plane." Negris couldn't help but exclaim. The other four goblins were even more dazzled, looking as if they wanted to dive right in.
Ang tilted his head.
Negris came back to its senses and said irritably: "Why are you tilting your head again? Can't you say a few words? You always make me guess."
Ang said: "Share, vision."
Negris was stunned for a moment and hurriedly shared Ang's vision.
Having a soul connection allowed them to share each other's vision. Of course, usually, it was Ang sharing others' vision; he could project onto his subjects at any time and see what they saw.
But for subjects to share his vision, they needed his permission. All along, only Negris had shared his vision.
When Negris saw what Ang saw, it instantly screamed in horror: "What the hell is this?!"
Looking out from Ang's eyes, what he saw was not a green plane dotted with blue and white, but a dead, dilapidated, semi-circular barren plane. The plane was gray and white, desolate and dead, with no signs of life.
From the missing part of the plane, countless black, 'hair-like' strips extended, as if the plane had grown hair.
Some of these 'hairs' swayed randomly, while others extended forward, piercing into another huge 'sphere' nearby.
The surface of this huge sphere was covered with scales, and from time to time, some 'small creatures' flew up from the scales to attack those 'hairs'.
Negris was dumbfounded, looking at the 'sphere' covered in scales, and said: "That wouldn't be the Doom Serpent's body, would it? Why is it round? Isn't it a Doom 'Serpent'?"
"And what are these 'hairs'? Could these hairs be their god? Are these the monsters that seized the Doom Serpent's body?" Negris asked in fear.
"No, that's not right. What's on the surface of the plane? That's not soil, is it? It's all bones? It's actually all bones? My god, bones covered the entire surface? How many people had to die to fill it like this? Is this the God Kingdom or hell?" Negris was stunned.
【Truth be told, I've been using Yeguo Reading to catch up on books recently. The source switching is fast, and there are many reading voices. Both Android and Apple are supported.】
This was definitely not the God Kingdom, but an abyss that had devoured countless lives. That seemingly dilapidated plane was not 'dilapidated', but an irregular shape formed by the accumulation of a large number of skeletons.
Only the places where those 'hairs' emerged were free of skeletons, so it looked like a piece was missing.
At this moment, two huge eyes extended from the location of the hairs and looked in the direction where Ang was. ===== CHAPTER 622 =====
