"If we fail to resist the black tide, will our world beco a second Chaos Realm?"
After leaving the Chaos Realm, Saul also departed from Sky City and returned to the Borderland.
The transformation of Sky City had been preliminarily completed. Under the intervention of a powerful fifth-rank wizard, that massive floating island had transford from a precision chanical device into a giant airdrop bomb.
This bomb was temporarily under Frim's custody.
Frim had participated throughout Douglas's transformation experints and was easier to control than Saul.
As for Douglas, he said he needed to focus entirely on observing the abyss's annihilation process and wouldn't intervene during that ti.
Saul and Gorsa had no objections.
Gorsa ultimately didn't participate in Douglas's experints.
While Douglas was transforming the chanical Heart into a Heart of Slaughter, he used the White Glass Palace to create a closed space of chaotic light and darkness.
Unlike Douglas's Heart of Slaughter which carried death's operational laws, the light-dark space Gorsa created was more like a simple chaotic domain. It couldn't yet touch the underlying essential logic.
However, after seeing the results Gorsa had researched alone, Douglas, who had always held so opinions about Gorsa, rarely looked upon him with approval.
In his view, although Gorsa's results were far inferior to the Heart of Slaughter he had created, they had almost reached the limit of what a fourth-rank wizard could achieve.
Moreover, simultaneously applying knowledge from two domains showed that his foundational knowledge in both light and dark magic was very solid.
"If he continues developing like this, Gorsa might comprehend a trace of chaos's essence and thus advance to the fifth rank."
This was Douglas's evaluation of Gorsa before leaving.
Hearing this, Frim looked deeply at Gorsa.
This young wizard he had repeatedly targeted and sniped had grown up and completely surpassed him.
However, Gorsa, who Frim envied, showed no particular reaction. He had always clearly known what he wanted to do. Even if he discovered he had done wrong or taken the wrong path, it was just a matter of starting over.
Therefore, after completing the light-dark chaotic space that didn't satisfy him, Gorsa returned to the Stargate Council with all his insights to continue overseeing red worm cultivation.
At this ti, Saul had already inford Gorsa and the other target partners of the Symphony of Fate that the black tide eruption might be less than a month away.
Everyone had entered acceleration mode.
anwhile, Saul was making final arrangents in the Borderland.
During this period, Kist had been following Saul around. And Saul allowed Kist to know all his whereabouts.
He understood that when he went to Sky City last ti, Kist had also been nearby but had never shown himself.
Now both tacitly understood—Kist was a guard sent by Douglas to monitor Saul, and Saul allowed Kist to monitor him.
But Kist couldn't see Saul's communications in the Prismatic World channel.
"If we fail to resist the black tide, will our world beco a second Chaos Realm?"
As ti passed day by day, Saul inevitably began considering the consequences of failure.
In his prophetic dream, even Iskaper Continent, which was least affected by the black tide, was pulled into the vortex by the Abyssal Eye for devouring. Wouldn't the other continents have already disappeared from this world?
Saul didn't know what his dream self was doing—anyway, he was just overlooking the earth from high altitude.
Perhaps he had already chosen to leave this world without a future, but that would definitely be the last backup plan.
So Saul asked the above question in the Prismatic World channel.
If worlds devoured by the abyss all beca like the Chaos Realm, then if Saul couldn't survive in the outside world, he could consider entering the Chaos Realm to temporarily avoid danger.
Shaya: [It should be, right? After all, Desedil was preserved. This way, could we also build a shelter in the center of the continent? If we ultimately can't avoid the fate of being devoured by the black tide, perhaps so life might still continue surviving inside the abyss.]
But not everyone thought like Shaya.
Floco: [The Chaos Realm's existence is like undigested bones from our als, but if the abyss resurrects by devouring worlds, its stomach will beco increasingly powerful. Powerful enough to digest all bones.]
Gorsa: [The reasons for the Chaos Realm's formation are complex. It might not be replicable.]
Actually, Saul also understood that when continents were swallowed by the abyss, most life forms on them would be destroyed.
Moreover, even the Chaos Realm wasn't really a place for ordinary people to live. Before Noah appeared, the native residents of the Chaos Realm lived much more miserably than now.
Once the wizard world completely beca a Chaos Realm, its inherited civilization would also be completely severed, which would be no different from complete destruction.
Saul lowered his head, pondering everyone's words.
Suddenly, a question he hadn't paid much attention to before, or rather hadn't found an answer to, surged in his mind.
"Why exactly can the Chaos Realm continue surviving inside the abyss's body? If the Abyssal Eye can resurrect by absorbing the world's essential laws, why doesn't it absorb a continent that's already been devoured by it? Or is one continent's sample too small, requiring absorption of the entire world?"
The others all fell silent, because this was also a problem they hadn't figured out.
"If the Chaos Realm is the bone left behind after being devoured by the Abyssal Eye, why hasn't the abyss completely absorbed the Chaos Realm?"
Shaya: [Maybe the remaining parts have no nutrition?]
But sixth-rank wizards weren't ordinary people. Could such a large Chaos Realm space really have no utility value?
Saul felt sothing was wrong sowhere.
Floco wasn't very concerned about what continents would look like after being devoured, because regardless, most life forms on the continents wouldn't survive.
Instead, the rmaid clan in the oceans was more likely to hide in the deep sea and escape disaster.
Unless the Abyssal Eye, after devouring other continents, extended toward the earth's core. In that case, the entire world might cease to exist.
Floco's active participation in land defense was more about not wanting the Abyssal Eye to destroy the world's foundation.
Floco: [Are you thinking of creating a shelter in the continent's center? But now the Chaos Realm exists inside a dead sixth-rank body. If the Abyssal Eye resurrects by devouring continents, the Chaos Realm might not be able to continue existing. We should still focus more on preventing the Abyssal Eye's resurrection.]
Just as everyone was discussing what other preparations they could make, Gorsa, who had been at the Stargate Council, spoke up.
Gorsa: [I think the countdown has begun. Monitoring shows that the Abyssal Eye, which had just recently cald down, has erupted again. This ti, the intensity and magnitude are much higher than any previously monitored data. I think this should be what Saul ntioned... the final eruption.]
Saul imdiately cut the connection, stood up, and flew to the top level of the Purity Wizard Tower.
Kist, who had originally been lying on the top level sunbathing, also imdiately sat up. "Hey, looking at your nervous expression, has sothing incredible happened?"
Although asking if sothing big had happened, Kist's expression was like asking Saul if it was ti to eat.
"The black tide has erupted. I think this ti is the last ti." Saul withdrew his distant gaze and looked at Kist. "Kist, do you think we can prevent the Abyssal Eye's resurrection this ti?"
Kist t Saul's gaze, the corners of his mouth slowly rising. "We can, of course we can. This ti, we can definitely solve the problem completely."
