Capítulo 686: Chapter 668: Origin
At the bottom of the deep pit.
Gust took out a small hemp bag, containing so concentrated dried tongues, specifically to deal with the current state of physical exhaustion.
This was by far the most severely injured he had ever been and the ti he expended the most energy, having to consu almost half of his stored tongues to recover.
Next ca the task of post-battle recovery for the injured, requiring him to lick each wound one by one.
With the death of the La Walker, the infection in the hole was completely cleared, and Maximus’s hands were able to regenerate normally.
Not easy at all… everyone nearly emptied their cards, exhausted everything, to accomplish all this.
And the opponent, with just one person, pushed the entire Corner to such a situation.
If there hadn’t been Mr. Question Mark’s decoding, the special Combat Uniforms provided by the humans, and the unexpected channel-opening ability acquired by Luo Di.
The absence of any one of these key factors,
this Outer God who called himself “La Walker” would have invaded the Corner, leading to the extinction of the entire race.
Yet, such an existence, under Mr. Question Mark’s final observation, seed to be in a “captive” state.
The re surface guesses about what lay behind this made him very uncomfortable.
…
Slurp slurp~
Gust was currently licking Teacher Guo, who, despite having recovered his physical abilities and injuries, still remained in a state of aging.
After all, he had forcibly reversed ti to restore Maximus’s youth, and the cost of this could not be repaired.
But such a trivial matter seed not worth bothering about to him.
“Everyone worked hard, under the circumstances of Teacher Ma’s failure in the frontal battle, I thought our defeat was certain. Unexpectedly, such an unforeseen situation erged.
Question Mark, deciphering such an anomaly that touches the very essence of Divinity, likely only you among the mid-levels of the Corner can accomplish this.”
“Assisting in combat is key.
That guy was too arrogant, which allowed us to find the opportunity to get inside.
The essence of this thing is just a captive Reproductive Mother, its comprehensive strength is even less than the divine husk it produces outside.
Once we managed to enter the core area of the internal cave and block all of his reproductive passages, this ga would be our win.”
“Hmm~ Can Teacher Jia Wen still recover?”
Teacher Guo suddenly brought up this question, causing a slight change in the atmosphere of the scene.
Question Mark didn’t respond directly but took out the “Divine Status” full of holes, having already learned hole control, currently tiny strands of virus were seeping out from the apertures of the Divine Status.
“For others, perhaps they’re dead beyond resurrection. But Jia Wen is different, as long as a single virus remains, he can continue to live.
The company still retains related infected bodies, letting these viruses infect him should bring him back.
And as for the ownership issue of this ‘Divine Status’, Teacher Guo, do you need to hand it over to the Outer Realm, or is it to be given to soone?”
“There’s no need to hand it over, it’s your personal war trophy.”
“?”
Question Mark didn’t intend to solely take ownership, he turned to Maximus intending to say sothing, but the latter responded ahead:
“I’ve already gained ‘trophies’, and besides, this thing not belonging to the Corner, only you can wield it, keep it.”
Question Mark nodded and then looked towards Luo Di’s side.
Luo Di hurriedly waved his hand, “Mr. Question Mark, this is the reward for decoding, it belongs to you.”
“Alright then, I’ll accept it.”
Just as Gust was licking his wounds, he suddenly jumped out, “Hey~ you didn’t ask yet! I’m part of it too, I disagree with you just taking it unless you let slurp your tongue!!!”
Teacher Guo had already placed his hands on the ground, a Vortex covering the bottom of the deep pit began to rotate.
“The assault squad from the City of Sin should have all returned to Vortex Town by now, I’ll also send you back… gather in the school cafeteria in about an hour.
I will tell about the nature behind this, everyone must be on ti.”
Just as the teleportation was about to start, Luo Di suddenly stepped forward, “Teacher Guo, are there remnants of the Outer Realm on this island?”
On the island, there are only us and the plague-infected, that Joker should have escaped early, as he doesn’t belong to the La Walker, but to another.
The school will continue to follow up on the investigation, and any news will be given to you imdiately.”
“Understood.”
The Vortex spins.
The personnel at the bottom of the deep pit all disappeared, and the plague on the entire island disappeared along with them.
All the snail-infected were also transmitted to Vortex Town; their destination, however, was the [Crematorium] where they would subsequently turn into ashes, becoming part of the town.
As for Katayama, it was recovered in the form of a snail shell.
…
Vortex Town, Fourth Middle School, Public Classroom-01.
The teachers sat in the front rows, the students concentrated in the back rows.
Even the landlord of the Screaming Inn divided a part of its body to co on-site, in a filthy form, enveloped in pajamas.
Gust was allowed to move freely, assisting in treating each mber of the assault squad.
Teacher Guo still had white hair, but his ntal state was as it used to be, currently drawing a distinctly shaped regular polyhedron on the blackboard with chalk.
After finishing the drawing,
Teacher Guo’s voice covered the entire room:
“Everyone being able to sit here and listen to my explanation ans we have already won [basic authority].
As the La Walker said, the world we are in is rely a lower-grade world situated on the edge.
There initially was no “developnt system” here, but for so reason,
due to a stroke of chance and coincidence,
or perhaps due to a special selection,
allowed a system known as [Corner] to root itself on the back of our world.
You can either self-degenerate and walk the path of monsters or maintain yourself to explore the Corner with a human identity… but essentially, they are the sa, both actively engaging with Fear, embracing Fear, becoming Fear.
And this unexpected system has endowed our world with a strong “connectivity,” allowing it to relate to multiple worlds in the sa dinsion, and so worlds with a higher status will intersect with us here.
This is also why, under extre circumstances, so humans can beco “Connectors,” borrowing systems from other worlds for self-developnt.
The reason behind this, the essence of how the Corner ford, all the origins of Fear… all stem from here!”
In Teacher Guo’s hand, the teaching ruler pointed to the regular polyhedron on the blackboard.
“We live in a multidinsional cosmic space, our world is fundantally located at the outer layer, while this ‘thing’ is positioned in the profound area at the center of the universe.”
As he spoke,
Teacher Guo centered the polyhedron and drew circles at equal distances on its periphery, on the tenth outer circle he drew a small sphere representing Earth in the human world.
“For so unknown reason,
our multidinsional universe can be described as ‘chaotic’.
Different worlds form gods through different ans, almost all tending towards an extrely self-serving, chaotic state, constantly thinking about plundering resources from other worlds, doing whatever it takes to ascend to a higher position.
To stabilize this chaos, a special world prison was constructed at the center of the universe.
Nad [Abyss].
The Mad Gods engulfed by chaos are imprisoned within the Abyss, marked with numbers, eternally trapped within.
The La Walker we killed was one of these Mad Gods, a lower-grade Death Row Inmate, numbered 1087, originating from a world nad Pan Abyss.
Such lower-grade inmates could never escape out.
After all, the entity that constructed the prison, imprisoning the Mad Gods of each world, can be seen as the supre will of the entire universe, a truly great existence.
However,
about a century ago, this great existence died… not just died, but was brutally dismbered.
His body was split into multiple parts, scattered away before his death.
One of his whole left arms, bypassing layer upon layer of dinsional barriers, happened to fall here, on the back of Earth, thus forming the Corner.
This is the origin of the Corner, the origin of all Fear.
This is also why we always feel the Corner is dead… or rather, from the beginning our system was in a state of death.
Gust, Luo Di, both of you who received [honorary qualification], should have seen the image of the ‘hand’.
Since the arm landed on our side, it has been performing a task, a selection task! Ultimately, a Fear system individual will go to the deepest place, contact the arm, becoming a candidate for the Prison Director.
However, the matter must not be so simple.
Although this arm has already concealed itself as much as possible, the developnt of the Corner will equally draw attention.
Fortunately, the first Death Row Inmate to pay attention is one inclined to neutrality, having undergone positive transformation within the prison as well.
This Death Row Inmate’s attitude leans towards order and stability, thus wanting to see what kind of talent our lower-grade world, being selected by the left arm, can sift out.”
