Chapter 653: The Hidden Secret

Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The transit station between the Abyss of Chaos and the main world.

The sky was gloomy and oppressive, the land a foreboding black, with an evil black mist lingering in the air. The air and the land were saturated with a dense negative energy.

Looking down from the sky, one could see countless dark fur tents standing on this vast land, and tens of thousands of demons occupying this sprawling campsite. Behind the campsite was a deep passage connecting to the Abyss of Chaos, while in front was a dimly lit spatial channel leading to the main world.

However, at this moment, the spatial channel was blocked by a thin, iridescent membrane. It seemed to be covered with magnificent rules, making it difficult for the demons to penetrate it.

“When can we completely open the channel to the main world?”

“It will take some time. The barriers constructed by the rules of the main world are tougher than we anticipated. Demon Hunters have been working hard to break through.”

“Damn it! If it weren’t for that epic-tier Deep Sea Dragon Whale obstructing us recklessly, we would have invaded the main world a hundred years ago!

Now, the gods have used their supreme power to entangle the Orderly Divine Beings, making it difficult for them to stop our invasion. We want those races that have imprisoned us in the Abyss of Chaos for hundreds of thousands of years to feel the same pain we’ve endured. We want the main world to experience our suffering!

We’ve already contacted some allies from the ancient war tens of thousands of years ago – evil orcs, gnomes, goblins, trolls, dungeon creatures… When we’re about to open the channel, they will rise up at the same time, drawing the attention of races like elves, humans, and goblins.

During this opportunity, we will advance rapidly…

Those fools who have lived in peace and comfort, their fighting spirit long dulled, will have no idea what we’ve experienced in the Abyss of Chaos or how much stronger we’ve become over hundreds of thousands of years.

If everything goes as planned, we will soon become the new rulers of the main world, turning those races into our slaves!”

“Now, those skeletal lizards we’ve released to pollute the land are our experiments. Let’s see how the strength of the outside world’s races has changed, and then we can formulate our invasion plan…”

“This won’t expose our invasion intentions prematurely, will it?”

“Hmph, those races nurtured by the Orderly Divine Beings are like sheep, how could they possibly know the power of demons? They’ll probably only think it’s the work of the undead, especially since the undead is a force we demons researched tens of thousands of years ago, a foreshadowing of our return…

Besides, we’re just experimenting in a nearly doomed, semi-closed mystic realm. Who would be foolish enough to barge in?

My comrades, the world belongs to us. With the blood and suffering of those sheeps, we shall welcome the great descent of demons!”

The semi-closed mystic realm.

The corrupted skeletal lizards kept pouring in like a relentless tide. Starting with thousands, their numbers had now swelled to thousands more, densely packed, converging from all directions.

No one knew where these creatures came from, but it felt like the entire ocean was teeming with them, and no matter how many the Crown of the Ocean’s forces and heroes had already slain, it seemed like there were still more to be killed. At least tens of thousands had been eliminated by now.

However, the surrounding pitch-black seawater seemed like the mouths of colossal beasts, continuously spewing forth these bloodthirsty monsters.

Solidus punched one of the corrupted skeletal lizards, shattering its head with sheer force, then casually grabbed its tail and threw it away. The Deep Sea Dragon Whale in the form of a small giant was also busy, every punch capable of killing one, and countless had perished under its iron fists.

However, the skulls of those that were smashed started to rapidly decay in the seawater in an inexplicable manner, turning into skeletons once more and attacking again, their strength not much weaker than before.

Ji Chen looked at the still-dense enemies, deep in thought.

Resurrection as skeletons after death was a specialty of undead creatures. Could it be that this strange situation here was the work of undead?

As his thoughts raced, he glanced at Anina.

Anina still held her hand out, but the epic-tier Deep Sea Dragon Whale’s blood-red pearl had shrunk considerably compared to before. There was also an increasingly powerful aura emanating from Anina, indicating that the absorption was nearing its end.

“Alice, can you control these corrupted skeletal lizards?”

“I can, but it’s more challenging to control them than ordinary creatures.” Alice nodded lightly, her expression somewhat grave. “Their bodies and souls have been thoroughly corrupted and eroded, their minds filled with madness and chaos, becoming mere puppets driven solely by the urge to kill.”

“So, does this have something to do with the undead?”

“Surface-level indicators suggest it’s highly likely, but I believe there might be deeper reasons behind it.”

After listening to Alice’s words, Ji Chen couldn’t help but sink into thought, his mind flashing back to that 7-star dungeon.

He had a nagging feeling that there might be something unsavory hidden here.

After a moment of contemplation, he made up his mind.

“Once Anina’s absorption is complete, we’ll start investigating the secrets hidden within this semi-closed mystic realm and the mysteries concealed within these dcorrupted skeletal lizards.

However, if there are any signs of this realm collapsing, we must leave immediately.”

Despite their large numbers, the corrupted skeletal lizards were still struggling to make an effective breakthrough in the face of several high-tier heroes and the defenses constructed by thousands of fifth and sixth-tier troops..
