Chapter 348

Cha Ye saw the boss come forward and stopped while he was ahead.

He never intended to kill these colleagues through these simple means, just needed to vent the violent energy accumulated in his heart through battle.

Cha Ye's form of existence determined that he must maintain sanity through violence and bloodshed.

If there was no sufficiently intense battle for a long time, his consciousness would gradually be swallowed by the chaos of the abyss, eventually turning into a beast that only knew how to kill.

And Cha Ye was very cunning; he didn't provoke "Formless Mist" Na Si, whose strength was close to his own, or "Twisted Sage" Nuo Ke Tu En and "Liquefied Demon" Mi La Si, whose authorities were extremely strange.

The three Supreme Apostles he attacked were all "soft persimmons" that he could just handle.

He wouldn't fall into danger, and could still experience the pleasure of flesh-to-flesh combat.

"Hahaha... refreshing!"

Cha Ye laughed and sat back on the throne, completely ignoring the wounds on his body that were still bleeding.

These injuries were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, the severed dragon head regrowing, and the torn wings condensing again.

In just a few blinks, he had restored his complete form, even looking stronger and more ferocious than before the battle.

The recovery speed of the other Supreme Apostles wasn't slow either.

As existences close to the Wizard King level, this degree of injury was painful, but not fatal.

But psychological trauma wasn't so easy to recover from.

The anger and unwillingness of being humiliated in public by Cha Ye gnawed at their self-esteem like venomous snakes.

Especially Ma La Ji, the fire in the seven heads burning even more fiercely, as if wanting to burn the entire soul into ashes.

"Now, can we calmly discuss business?"

Ma Gusi's tone became dignified again, the mask with nine eyes flickering with strange radiance in the darkness:

"About Cassandra's interdimensional conquest plan, and how we can get a piece of the pie from it."

Mentioning this topic, the expressions of all Supreme Apostles became complex.

Yearning, jealousy, anger, helplessness... various emotions flashed alternately on their twisted faces.

"In the end, we are still too weak."

Bradshi, who had just recovered his form, said bitterly:

"Clearly possessing the power to destroy planets, yet unable to stay in the front layers of the abyss for long. This kind of restraint... is simply the greatest irony to us."

This is the fundamental paradox faced by abyss awakeners:

The stronger the abyss power obtained, the deeper the reliance on the abyss aura;

The deeper the reliance, the more severe the restraint.

Ordinary abyss awakeners can still be active in the main world, but once reaching the apostle level, they are basically permanently trapped in the abyss;

And Supreme Apostles can't even stay in the shallow areas of the abyss for long, only active in the depths below the sixth layer.

This limitation is not just physical, but also rule-based.

Once far from the core area of the abyss, their power will decay sharply, and they may even fall into a dormant state due to insufficient energy.

"Walking this path, power was indeed obtained, but freedom was also completely lost."

"Twisted Sage" Nuo Ke Tu En twisted his body with a click, sighing with regret:

"We are like beasts locked in a cage, only able to watch the outside world, but unable to touch it."

"What's the use of saying this now?" Ma La Ji roared angrily:

"We have no way back! The only thing we can do is find a way to break through this restraint!"

"Break through?" Cha Ye emitted a mocking laugh:

"You think no one has tried?... You all know their fate."

Those predecessors who tried to break through the abyss restraint, without exception, all fell into eternal slumber.

Their consciousnesses were completely swallowed by the abyss, losing even the most basic thinking ability, becoming true walking corpses.

"But it's not completely impossible." Ma Gusi's words focused the attention of all apostles:

"If we cannot leave the abyss personally, then let others act for us. Obtain resources and intelligence from the outside world through agents."

"Agents?" Agasha nodded thoughtfully:

"You mean targets like Luo En Ralph? But didn't the last plan fail?"

Mentioning this name, several Supreme Apostles began to mock Ma Gusi's previous failure:

"Haha, remember the plan of the chaotic spirit monster? It was originally a seamless trap, but the kid easily resolved it."

"And that throne seed, spent so much energy making it, but didn't even let anyone touch it."

"Ma Gusi's 'perfect plan' is truly impressive."

Facing these mocks, Ma Gusi could only admit defeat:

"Luo En Ralph's caution exceeded my pre-designed plan; this kid curled up when he came to the observatory, and there was indeed nothing to be done about him."

"Speaking of agents..."

The eyes in Na Si's nebula body began to turn uneasily, his voice carrying obvious frustration:

"How many times have we tried? The 'Shadow Walker' of the second era, the 'Child of Chaos' of the third era..."

He paused for a moment, the starlight inside dimming:

"They all performed perfectly at first, possessing normal sanity, strong talent, and could even gain a certain status in the wizard system. But eventually..."

"Eventually they all went fucking crazy!"

Cha Ye interrupted Na Si's words roughly, all three heads revealing disdain:

"Either exposed their identity at a critical moment and got killed, or went out of control and turned into monsters that only knew how to kill.

I remember that 'Child of Chaos,' managed to mix into the upper echelons of the School Alliance.

As a result, he suddenly went crazy at an academic conference, tearing half the wizards in the conference hall into pieces."

"After that incident, the vigilance of wizards against abyss infiltration increased tenfold."

Ka La Ze Ke felt the armrest of the throne with his fingers composed of bones, emitting a clicking sound:

"Now wanting to infiltrate again, the difficulty is much higher than before."

A painful human face emerged in Mi La Si's liquid body:

"The root of the problem lies in the characteristics of the abyss itself. It naturally carries chaotic and twisted attributes; any creature that accepts it will eventually be eroded until they lose their sanity."

"Even if we control the power output extremely carefully, only giving the most basic power enhancement, it will still produce irreversible personality distortion over time."

Xi Wa Na's abdomen crawled violently, the larvae inside seemingly becoming more active due to the mother's excitement:

"This is the fundamental paradox we face. Without giving abyss power, the agent doesn't have enough ability to complete the task; giving abyss power, the agent will inevitably head toward madness."

Nuo Ke Tu En's twisted body made an unreasonable movement, his head rotating 360 degrees:

"And even if the agent can maintain sanity, it is very difficult for them to reach a high enough status in the wizard system.

After all, abyss power and the wizard system have fundamental conflicts; wanting to master two completely opposite power systems simultaneously is almost impossible."

The entire council hall fell into heavy silence.

This problem had plagued them for countless ages.

Every attempt would invest massive resources and energy, but eventually ended in failure.

Gradually, even the most optimistic Supreme Apostles began to doubt the feasibility of this route.

But just then, Ma Gusi suddenly spoke:

"However... I recently encountered a special opportunity."

His nine eyes flashed simultaneously, emitting excited phantom light: "An opportunity that can completely change the rules of the game."

All apostles focused their attention on Ma Gusi.

"This opportunity comes from 'King of Blood' Aiden."

Hearing this name, the apostles present all revealed extremely complex expressions.

"That half-crippled fake king?" Agasha's voice carried obvious disdain: "Isn't he long trapped in the chaotic blood world, unable to protect himself?"

"And as far as I know, his strength is at the bottom of all Wizard Kings, even some top Great Wizards can trade blows with him." Ma La Ji's human head opened: "What can such an existence help us with?"

Ma Gusi emitted a light laugh:

"You only saw his weaknesses, but ignored his most important advantage—his mastery of bloodline modulation technology has reached an unprecedented height."

"Bloodline modulation?"

"Exactly." Ma Gusi began to explain in detail:

"Aiden, although not strong, his technology in bloodline fusion and modification even exceeds that of Serna back then. Especially in how to let the bloodlines of different races coexist harmoniously, he has unique insights."

"He masters a special technology—'Bloodline Isolation Method.' This technology can completely isolate chaotic factors in the bloodline without affecting bloodline power."

This information made all apostles' eyes light up.

If such technology truly existed, then the biggest obstacle faced by the agent plan could be solved.

"But..." Na Si asked cautiously:

"Why would Aiden help us? With his understanding of us, he should know the risks of cooperation."

Ma Gusi's laughter became more sinister:

"Because he needs our help. The chaotic blood world, although his kingdom, is so chaotic that even he cannot fully control it."

"And we possess what he desperately needs."

Ma La Ji asked with interest: "You mean... mutual utilization?"

"Exactly." Ma Gusi nodded: "This is a fair trade, with huge benefits for both sides."

"And..." his voice became more mysterious: "Aiden has already successfully created a pretty good sample using this technology."

"Sample?"

"That is Blood Tear Grand Duke Asmond."

Once this name was out, all apostles were shocked.

Blood Tear Grand Duke, although only an ordinary apostle in the abyss, his potential and growth speed were obvious to all.

Asmond possessed a blood clan network covering the main world, an ideal tool for collecting intelligence and executing tasks.

"You mean... Asmond is Aiden's experimental subject?" Xi Wa Na asked in disbelief.

Ka La Ze Ke on the side was already moved:

"If Asmond is truly a successful case, then this plan is indeed worth trying. At least it's much more reliable than our previous rough methods."

Other apostles also began to seriously consider this proposal.

After countless failures, they had learned caution and rationality.

"What is the specific cooperation plan?" Mi La Si asked.

Ma Gusi unfolded the projection, showing a spherical energy structure:

"We will fuse part of the source power of all Supreme Apostles to create an unprecedented throne seed.

This seed will simultaneously possess the ability characteristics of all of us, but after being processed by Aiden's bloodline isolation technology, it will not cause personality distortion to the carrier."

"The agent modulated by the King of Blood has currently successfully infiltrated the wizard system."

Ma Gusi began to introduce this plan in detail:

"This agent is different from previous rough works. During the production process, we extremely carefully maintained her sanity and personality integrity.

From the outside, she is just a normal genius wizard, without any signs of abyss awakening."

"Besides this, the King of Blood buried a special 'insurance' in her.

This insurance can not only ensure her loyalty but also release power beyond imagination at critical moments."

Cha Ye added on the side, as another master of bloodline power, he also contributed part of his power:

"The talent and potential of this seed exceeded all our expectations.

She has already successfully entered the Nova Project hosted by Cassandra, and her current ranking is quite high."

Hearing this, all Supreme Apostles present had their eyes light up.

Nova Project—that was a young wizard cultivation project personally hosted by Cassandra.

Those who could enter it were all geniuses with massive potential.

And those who could rank high in it were existences with the possibility of becoming leaders of the wizard world in the future.

"If this seed can stand out in the Nova Project..."

Ma La Ji's voice carried greedy yearning:

"She will have the opportunity to touch Cassandra's core secrets, and even participate in the interdimensional conquest plan."

"Exactly." Ma Gusi nodded:

"Through this seed, we can establish direct contact with the carrier.

Every growth of hers, every breakthrough of hers, will feed back to us.

And when she reaches a sufficient height, we can even influence major decisions in the main world through her."

The grandeur of this plan shocked all apostles.

If successful, they would be able to break through the restrictions of the abyss restraint and achieve deep infiltration into the main world through agents.

This would not only allow them to share the results of interdimensional conquest but also potentially completely change the power structure between the abyss and the main world.

"I agree!" Ma La Ji expressed his stance first, the fire of yearning burning in the eyes of all seven heads:

"Instead of sitting here waiting for death, it's better to give it a go!"

"I also agree."

Agasha nodded, more green pus pouring out from the hole in her chest, showing her inner excitement:

"This is indeed our only hope for now."

Other apostles also expressed support one after another. Facing such a rare opportunity, no one was willing to be absent.

Even Na Si, who was usually the most cautious, was moved by the prospects of this plan:

"Although the risk is great, if it can truly succeed... we can regain the freedom we have lost for so long."

Seeing all colleagues express support, Ma Gusi nodded with satisfaction:

"Very well. Then let's start the ritual preparation now."

"But I must remind everyone, this process will be very long.

Because it requires fusing thirteen different source powers, the mutual adjustment will take at least a year.

And during this period, we cannot leave here, must participate in the reconciliation process throughout."

Cha Ye breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this schedule.

A year or so is enough for Nari to cultivate that mysterious puppet to maturity.

By the time he comes out of seclusion, he can just sit back and enjoy the fruits.

As for Nari's thoughts and feelings? That was not in his consideration at all.

In Cha Ye's cognition, Nari was just a useful tool, a pawn to be discarded after use.

"Then, let's begin."

With Ma Gusi's announcement, the thirteen Supreme Apostles began to arrange themselves into complex geometric figures around the gray vortex in the center.

They each mobilized the source power within their bodies, preparing for this unprecedented fusion ritual.

The air began to be filled with various twisted energy fluctuations, each representing a different chaotic essence.

These energies repelled each other, attracted each other, forming strange energy storms in the air.

The entire Soul Abyss trembled under this pressure.

Even the gray vortex in the center became more violent, as if responding to this unprecedented gathering of power.
