Chapter 826: Can't Get Past

Lightning stood on the treetop, shouting toward the end of the distant void: "My lord, come back quickly! The tide has receded, come back quickly!"

After shouting a few times, Lightning grumbled: "Is shouting like this really useful? Can my lord hear it?"

Abyss Maw said: "He probably can. Anyway, since we're idle, I'll help you transmit the sound a bit further."

"Lord Abyss, I didn't expect you to be this kind of abyss. What do you mean 'since we're idle'? I'm very busy, okay? Don't lick." Saying this, he shook his head violently, shaking a kitten out of the mane on his head.

The kitten found it quite fun, flipped in the air, and pounced toward Lightning again.

A trace of small electric sparks flashed on Lightning's horn, but he gritted his teeth, the sparks faded, and he let the kitten pounce on his face and lick him wildly.

Never mind whether his electric sparks could cause damage to a dimensional beast; even if he could, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly. Otherwise, the kitten's owner, a cat-slave at the level of an Ancient God Hunter, would tear him apart alive.

The Goddess of Starlight followed the Dark Origin team to a point on the other side of the axis. Before leaving, she entrusted the kitten to Lightning's care. He didn't expect this dimensional beast to have such a bad habit—it actually liked licking people.

Forget it, tit for tat. Lightning also stretched out his big tongue and licked the kitten wildly, licking it until it was soaking wet, like a drowned cat.

Just as Lightning and the kitten were playing, in the Monarch Realm deep within the Chaos Plane, the God of Undead suddenly floated up, drifted to an open space, condensed into a solid form, gripped his Death Scythe, planted it in front of him, leaned forward slightly, and assumed a stable posture.

Boom! The mist behind the God of Undead was instantly pierced, creating a long, empty hole. Something passed through and appeared in front of the God of Undead.

Ang took a look and found that they had indeed bounced back. He hurriedly took everyone out of the dimensional space: first the Monarch, then Anthony and Negris, and finally the soul of Tuhilix.

"It really worked? How did we bounce to this place?" Negris looked at the God of Undead and the distant Monarch Realm, asking in confusion.

Since they were bouncing anyway, why not go directly back to the Sanctuary? This place is a long way from the Sanctuary, and now that the snail isn't here, it will be even harder to return to the Sanctuary.

Ang said: "This, anchor point, stable."

To support a bounce of hundreds of millions of kilometers, it's impossible without a stable anchor point. The only thing capable of bearing this kind of teleportation is the Undead Godhead.

Leaving the Monarch's realm, everyone flew toward the Sanctuary. As they flew, the Monarch suddenly said: "The tide seems to have stopped."

Ang nodded. He had felt it the moment he returned. In the Chaos Plane during the tide, even soul connections were blurry. Although they wouldn't break, he couldn't transmit messages to his subjects. Now, the soul connection was much clearer; even though he was in the chaotic mist, he could clearly sense the presence of the subjects in the Sanctuary.

Because the tide had stopped, the Chaos Plane was shrinking, and the mist appeared particularly dense.

Just like that, they flew out of the chaotic mist area and found that the void was much emptier.

Previously, the chaotic mist hadn't spread to these areas, so the void was filled with all kinds of debris: broken planes, remnants of divine trees, drifting giant rocks, ice chunks, and the like. But now, all this debris was gone.

"Eh, why is all the debris gone? Did the tide push them away?" Negris asked in surprise.

The Monarch said: "I know why they are gone, but I won't tell you."

"... You old undead, why have you become so mischievous now? If you don't want to tell me, then don't say you know." Negris said angrily.

The Monarch laughed: "Learned it from you."

"Bah, when am I this mischievous? No, Ang, do you know the reason?" Negris turned to Ang and asked.

"King says, won't tell you." Ang replied.

"Aiya, you dead skeleton, tell me quickly, or I'll nag you to death." Negris said indignantly.

However, trying to pry information out of Ang through nagging was simply wishful thinking. Before long, he was tired himself, but he also had some guesses in his heart; it must be related to the secret the Monarch mentioned.

What kind of secret was it that made both the Monarch and Ang keep their mouths shut and not reveal a single thing to him?

This, of course, wasn't because they didn't trust him, but because he didn't have the ability to keep a secret. After all, in the hands of those powerful beings, no secret could be kept. Various soul-searching and memory-viewing methods were endless. Without sufficient strength, one simply couldn't keep it; it was better to know nothing at all.

Everyone spent quite some time and finally returned to the Sanctuary.

"Eh, Abyss Maw, why are you here? Didn't you set off with the Dark Origin? Aiya, a clone!" Negris said, suddenly slapping his thigh as he realized the reason.

The Super-Speed Snail was a clone; being too far from the main body, it had to interrupt its journey and return first. Abyss Maw was clearly the same; its clone was too far from the main body.

Abyss Maw had a depressed expression and nodded: "The snail came back first. It seems it was also because the clone was too far away. You came back so quickly, so you must have failed too. Now only the Dark Origin's team is left, but since you all failed, they probably aren't doing much better."

"Ah? Failed? What failure?" Negris was a bit confused.

"Need I say more? The snail came back first. If you flew on your own, it would take at least six or seven months to reach the possible location. Now you've returned in just five months, which means you turned back after flying for two and a half months. How could you possibly find anything?" Abyss Maw said irritably.

So it turned out that because they returned too quickly, Abyss Maw mistakenly thought they had turned back halfway.

"So that's the failure you're talking about? Hehe, I don't know if it's a failure, but we flew 180 million kilometers and found a Mage Tower, a human, and a dimensional space there. The Hole Worm swallowed that Mage Tower. We came back so quickly because we learned a new teleportation method." Negris said, wagging his tail.

"Mage Tower?" Abyss Maw looked at Anthony. Negris was too boastful. A Mage Tower more than 100 million kilometers away? Who are you trying to fool?

Anthony nodded and explained the specific situation to Abyss Maw in detail. Upon hearing that they had to rely on the Hole Worm to swallow that Mage Tower, Abyss Maw understood everything: "You swallowed the Void Will's backup plan?"

The Hole Worm is the origin of space; no matter how stable a point is, it's crunchy and delicious in its mouth.

"Although you didn't find the Void Will, since this was the anchor point it left behind, it's likely on the other side. Can you contact the Dark Origin's team? See what the situation is?" Abyss Maw said excitedly.

The existence of the Mage Tower proved that their guess was correct. The Void Will was very likely hiding at the other end of the central axis of the Chaos Plane. As long as they caught its location, killing it wouldn't be an impossible task.

Ang pulled out the Little Demon King. As soon as he came out, the Little Demon King couldn't wait to say: "My lord, I was just about to find you. The Great Demon sent a message saying they were blocked by something and couldn't get past." ===== CHAPTER 827 =====
