Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 722 - 325: Today Is the Day (Part 3)

By using Mystical Mastery to alter Gelman’s used Array, it was possible to delay the Array’s activation, and subsequently, when Gelman was unable to initiate Space Teleportation again, simply open the Golden Country and throw the two of them inside.

Gelman, being a Space Magic Master, quickly realized the surrounding was Wu Chang’s deployed Inner World and understood what was happening.

He raised his Magic Wand to gather Light Magic, the Magic Power amassed at the wand’s tip was extremely vast, comparable to a strike from Erin in her normal Status.

"As long as I’m here, you won’t lay a hand on the Great Saint Mother’s Eminence."

Both of them being Space Mages, when Gelman made a move, Wu Chang immediately knew what the other was planning.

It was nothing but using Magic to delay time, waiting for the Space Teleportation cooldown, then fleeing with the Great Saint Mother.

This time Gelman was prepared, making it much harder for anyone to modify his Teleportation Array.

The idea was good, provided he could really endure until the cooldown of the Space Teleportation Skill.

Wu Chang shrugged and said, "Lord Gelman is too worked up, it would be better to calm down a bit."

He snapped his fingers, and the wooden boat beneath Gelman and the Great Saint Mother disappeared. In the instant Gelman fell into the water, he vanished completely.

Gelman used quick chanting, the Magic he had been stockpiling since the battle began was already in its final stage, and in at most two seconds, he could unleash it.

But at the most critical moment, suddenly someone turned off the lights.

No, it wasn’t turning off the lights, he felt a heavy Inner World presence; he had been thrown into another Inner World.

Inner World within Inner World, how did he accomplish that?

Gelman was uncertain and doubtful, but he soon discovered that the surprises were still ahead.

He found himself in a body of water, he could still withstand the suffocating sensation and pressure, relying on strong Will and his devoted Faith to the Great Saint Mother, he managed to maintain his perception without sinking.

He could endure all this, but why in the dark water was there always a voice whispering in his mind?

That damned voice kept interrupting his chant and trying to make him recall some unpleasant memories.

Even with the Protective Talisman granted by the Great Saint Mother, he couldn’t block out that voice.

What kind of place was this?!

"Where exactly did you send him?"

"It’s the Blind Abyss, I threw him into the Blind Abyss." Facing the Great Saint Mother’s questioning, Wu Chang answered frankly.

Moreover, he thoughtfully explained:

"It is a sea filled with deathly silence, where targets lacking Divinity will gradually lose perception and lower their Will. When the Will becomes sufficiently low, they will hear an inexplicable whispering in their ears."

"You are a being of the Abyss Third Layer, you should know that such whispers are usually not good things."

This time the Great Saint Mother was really anxious, her face no longer showed anger or panic, but instead was extraordinarily calm.

"Mortal, are you truly intent on wiping us out?"

Wu Chang did not further agitate the Great Saint Mother; he knew well that if he dared affirm it, the Great Saint Mother right before him would explode against him directly.

"Relax a bit, Lord Gelman’s Will is quite steadfast, he can probably sustain himself for about five minutes. This period is long enough for us to have a proper conversation about cooperation."

The Great Saint Mother took a deep breath; it was her first time encountering someone initiating a cooperation discussion like this.

"What do you want to discuss?"

Wu Chang said, "What do you know about the presence deep in the sea?"

The Great Saint Mother suppressed the impatience in her heart and said:

"It’s just a native God from a Plane, a frog at the bottom of a well, relying on water skills, presuming that with the ocean, I can do nothing against them."

"Especially that fish person who keeps provoking me without realizing his limits. If not for other matters, if I reveal my True Divine Body, even if it escapes into the sea, I would be able to split the waters and catch it to eliminate."

After listening, Wu Chang nodded and asked, "And then?"

The Great Saint Mother’s brows furrowed slightly, "Apart from that fish person, what worthy things are in the ocean, what ’and then’ are you asking for?"

Disappointment flashed in Wu Chang’s eyes; the Great Saint Mother’s level was still too low to perceive even the Evil God Remains.

But it was normal, from the history of the Peaceful Town Plane, the establishment of the Ogre National Church came much later than the Evil God Remains’ descent.

When the Great Saint Mother preached, the Evil God Remains had already hidden away in slumber beneath the sea.

The Evil God Remains were just fragments of flesh, and the Great Saint Mother was at best a projection, it was normal she wouldn’t detect them.

For cooperation, he had to synchronize information with the Great Saint Mother.

He said: "The fish person you see is named Da Gang, although it is a native God, it is not the real threat in the depths of the sea. Below the deep sea, there is another Master it worships."

"If you look through the history of this Plane, you will find fragments of myth records mentioning that long ago, this land was punished by a god, the divine punishment brought forth massive tsunamis, completely submerging a land."

"The existence that triggered the divine punishment is Da Gang’s faith, the Master of the Deep Sea."

Upon hearing this, the Great Saint Mother’s heart skipped a beat; she could sense that Wu Chang was not lying.

A being that could be worshipped by a native God, one whose Power could engulf a continent, which she could never detect — how strong must be the Master of the Deep Sea?

No matter how strong, why could it exhibit such Power even in the Desolate Realm?

More importantly, why would its followers appear on Briff Island, and why have they been hindering her entry?

Could it be...

The Great Saint Mother maintained a blank expression and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Wu Chang said:

"What I want to say is, besides you, the Master of the Deep Sea is also eyeing Briff Island. I received intel from Da Gang, stating the Master of the Deep Sea will awaken when the stars align."

"The first thing it will do upon awakening is to come to Briff Island and completely control this place."

The Great Saint Mother showed a look of irritation and said, "Damn it, no wonder that fish person has been blocking me; indeed the Master also has its sights set here."

She took a deep breath and asked, "When will the stars align?"

Wu Chang replied, "It’s today."
