Text Game: It All Began when a Cat-eared Girl Took Me In-Chapter 829 - 413: He Likes Little Girls Too? This Boy Must Not Stay! Grey Dream and the Core Fragments of the Engine (4k)_2
Hum!—
Before long, on the outskirts of the five cities arranged in a pentagram, the sea waves rapidly surged, turning into a rich black. The gloomy sky turned as dark as night, and elements of different colors, visible to the naked eye, collided violently, whipping up billions of tons of seawater into thousand-layered giant waves!
Even the Nolan Divine Tree, which had already been broken and only half of the main trunk remained, vibrated at a similar frequency.
The ground within the cities trembled too!
Inside Far Wind City, Kobayashi Wild, who was still broadcasting live, nearly peed his pants in fright.
He had somewhat celebrated that the mysterious myth-level quest had been completed, thinking he might be able to return this time.
But then came a super tsunami.
Would this city be destroyed by it?
He had heard that the situation outside wasn’t any better. The Wind Disaster Hurricane, which had appeared over the Pacific, was heading towards Xia country, and it could likely pass by Ri Island on its way there!
Going out meant death, and staying here meant death too.
Was this truly the apocalypse?
...
"I wonder if Little Ya and mother have managed to escape safely?"
In the closed domain world, a beautiful and dignified woman sat by a pool, gazing at her reflection on the water’s surface, full of worry.
She wasn’t concerned for herself, but for her daughter and mother who were still outside.
After all, she had prepared enough supplies here to last a hundred years.
A Transcendent of Tier Five or above could create a domain world with completely closed characteristics. As long as one entered the domain in advance, unless the other was an outstanding practitioner of spatial Skills or abilities, it was virtually impossible to enter the opponent’s closed domain.
But being here, she had no way of knowing what was happening outside.
If her daughter and mother had died, what meaning would there be for her to cling to life here?
Crackle—
Melissa’s body stiffened.
It seemed as if she had heard something tearing.
Crackle!
The next moment, under her horrified gaze, the illusory barrier in front of her was pulled apart by two hands, and two Hooded Men wearing hoods stepped inside.
"?"
Impossible, even Andreas, who now had control over the Twilight Tree, shouldn’t have been able to enter here.
Where did these people come from?!
"Who are you?!"
Melissa demanded sharply.
A Hooded Man indifferently said, "Mu Heng, check her body to see if it carries the blood of the Shadow Clan king’s lineage."
"Hmm."
The other Hooded Man stepped forward.
"Twilight Sunset!"
Melissa immediately released the strongest Skill she could use.
A red sun appeared in the sky above the domain world.
These two had taken the initiative to enter her domain world. As a beginner Sublimated person of Tier Five, even those of the same level would see their strength suppressed by a tier in here.
The domain of a Transcendent was, in a way, a miniature version of the Divine Tree’s blessed domain, with more powerful Transcendents able to do more with their domains.
However, to her dismay, the shocking event occurred once more.
The Hooded Men seemed as though they did not exist in this world, leisurely walking towards her through her attack as if it were a gentle rain.
A hand suddenly gripped her throat.
An icy Strength circulated through her body for a moment.
The eye patterns on the Hooded Man’s clothes lit up, and his tone went from indifference to excitement, "Indeed, she’s a descendant of the Shadow King’s lineage that we failed to find back then. The bloodline is too dilute to notice without a thorough check, but that is to be expected. That bloodline has intermarried with the creatures of this world for hundreds of thousands of years, even the most concentrated bloodlines would have thinned out significantly."
Back then, their spaceship was pulled into the world by The Creation of that world, breaking into two parts – the larger segment crashing in the Pan Continent, and the smaller one on some other continent.
And in that smaller part was the bloodline of the Shadow Clan royalty, only they could initiate the ’Void Engine’.
So that was why, ten thousand years ago, they had tried to create ’Luweiya’.
"Is it enough to use as a key?"
"Unclear, and moreover, the key to the engine is still with Luweiya. She possesses our Shadow Clan’s innate gift. Hiding herself is no easy task to find, but fortunately, this place has limited her hiding spaces."
"Then let’s open that door at the Heckmedea family. Throw the situation into complete chaos. We cannot see the future’s outcome, neither should that foreign god who has intervened."
The Hooded Man clutched Melissa’s neck, rendering her unconscious with brute force, and took her away from his domain, returning above the Sophia Family’s station in Dusk City.
At that moment, an unstoppable fierce wave, cresting over the city walls, entered his line of sight.
"So impatient, are you?"
The Hooded Man cast a glance and said indifferently, "Qu Heng, go open that door. It’s time to retrieve what we originally placed in the Abyss."
Another Hooded Man sneered, "A group of ignorant humans have guarded our spatial node for hundreds of thousands of years as if it were a treasure. They have indeed worked hard. That Andreas is especially gullible; with just a bit of guidance, he gave us everything."
"It’s not completely a deception, after all, it truly is a miracle of the Abyss, isn’t it?"
...
Three minutes later,
The secret underground space of the Hecmedea family.
A door hidden in the fog loomed faintly at the end.
At this time, the Hecmedea family’s guards and elders stationed here had all, for some reason, fainted on the ground.
In the corner’s shadows, a number of Hooded Men appeared, standing around the door, while the unconscious Melissa was placed on a nearby stone platform.
The Hooded Man named Qu Heng raised his hand and placed it on the door. Instantly, the door shone with a metallic luster and the glowing patterns akin to pupils.
"You, do you truly wish to open this door?"
A fleeting voice suddenly echoed throughout the space.
"God?"
The body of the Hooded Man trembled noticeably.
To enter here under his extreme state of vigilance, apart from the deity who connected the two worlds, he could think of no other.
"Big Silly has done something a bit underhanded, but she wouldn’t just capture someone for no reason, so I believe there must be a cause."
"A cause? It’s nothing more than wanting us to enrich the species repository of Her created world! Either lend no hand, or just watch from the sidelines; we despise you so-called gods the most!"
The Hooded Man lowered his hood to reveal grey hair and then, without hesitation, pressed his hand against the door.
Beside him, the pink-haired Lolita, who had already raised her hand, silently withdrew it.
She hadn’t intervened in the previous danger.
Now, there was even less need to do so.
Gah—
The pink-haired Lolita was taken aback.
The moment the door opened, a scene utterly different from the present world, with desolate dark scenery, withered trees, and black rivers, came into her view.
"This is the connected Abyss—wait, no! This is but imbued with the scent of the Abyss, it’s actually another continent’s..."
"Great Deity,"
The Hooded Man didn’t know where the god watching him was, but even if he was being stealthily observed, he couldn’t help but reveal a smug smile.
"We were once a race that had transcended. Do not underestimate us. The idea that gods would be watching, we’ve considered this long ago. Guess what, where have we really hidden that door?"
Inside the Hakmedea family’s ancestral hall.
A group of trembling elders took out their knives and cut open their throats.
They did not wish to do this.
But their bodies moved involuntarily.
A vast amount of blood gathered on the ground, forming a blood-red portal. Inside it, a massive tree’s shadow appeared.
A Hooded Man, hidden in the darkness, stepped out and entered this blood portal. At once, his body floated in a space void of gravity and air.
"Is this the Eternal World Tree, Grey Dream?"
The Hooded Man gazed towards the base of the colossal tree.
There, a large chunk of metal island shimmered with silver light.
"You anchored our largest Engine Core Fragment as a stabilizing anchor?"
"Then, it’s time you paid your debt. It’s timely; if that world were to lose one more Eternal Divine Tree, it probably wouldn’t hold up any longer, right?"
