With Cerberus scouting ahead, Shadow Ten followed Mike's instructions, maintaining a certain distance-not too close, not too far.
"We're here!"
Shadow Ten looked ahead at what was supposed to be a demon god seed, frowning,
"This is a demon god seed?"
It looked like a ball of yarn, fixed in place, continuously emitting demonic energy.
It was conspicuous, with no attempt at concealnt.
It looked... weak.
Shadow Ten asked in a low voice, "Should I take it out?"
"No, let's keep our distance from that filthy thing."
Taking a closer look, Mike realized he couldn't gather more information and had to remotely command Cerberus to attack.
"Use only fire elent attacks, step by step."
Shadow Ten and Mike moved back, watching the situation unfold.
"Boom-"
Under Cerberus's continuous attacks, the demon god seed was roasted to a crisp and eventually exploded.
[Current number of demon god seeds: 16]
From three miles away, Mike stared intently at the remains of the demon god seed, trying to glean more information.
A strange force of law descended, and the remains of the demon god seed seed to be drained, instantly withering.
[Current demon god seed damage immunity: Space Elent, Fire Elent] Mike: ?!
"Just as I thought, it's not that simple!"
Space Elent, Fire Elent immunity...
Seeing the change, Mike calmly analyzed,
"The first demon god seed was killed by spatial turbulence, the second by fire elent damage. Now, all remaining demon god seeds have gained Space Elent and Fire Elent immunity!"
Mike asserted, "These seeds are bait; the birth of a demon god is like breeding deadly creatures in a survival contest!"
Initially, these demon god seeds were very weak, easily killed by a dog.
After they died, the remaining demon god seeds gained new buffs, becoming stronger!
The final demon god born would be incredibly troubleso!
Just as Mike thought this, the prompt changed again:
[Current number of demon god seeds: 15]
[Current demon god seed damage immunity: Space Elent, Fire Elent, Wind Elent]
"Amari, imdiately notify Maxen and the others!"
Mike relayed his findings to Shadow Ten, who was responsible for passing them on.
"Got it!"
Shadow Ten closed his eyes, muttering under his breath.
Soon, he opened his eyes, his ears twitching, clearly receiving a response.
Mike sensed sothing was wrong and asked, "What's the matter?"
Shadow Ten candidly replied,
"I received a response from Maxen. However, the content didn't follow the mission's encryption protocol."
Every mission had a corresponding codebook.
For Lord-level powerhouses, morizing these codebooks was no challenge.
Their long-distance communication had to strictly follow encryption protocols; otherwise, it wouldn't be secure.
Unencrypted information intercepted by the demon race could have dire consequences!
Similarly, if the demon race tampered with the transmitted information, it could lead to disastrous outcos.
Therefore, any ssage not following the encryption protocol was considered invalid.
This was one of the battlefield ironclad rules accumulated over three hundred years of conflict between humanity and the demon race.
Joseph and Maxen were seasoned fighters who wouldn't overlook this.
Shadow Ten's face darkened, "This ans the response I received was tampered with by the demon race. Conversely, the ssage I sent was likely altered, and they might have received misleading information."
When they first entered the Suture Abyss, communication was normal.
Now, the hidden demon god could manipulate the communication content.
Clearly, as the Suture Abyss evolved, the demon gods' control over the abyss increased.
Who knew what other situations they would encounter next?
Mike was silent for a mont before speaking again,
"This is the enemy's ho turf, and it's normal for them to have the advantage. We expected this. Let's take it one step at a ti. First, we find Professor Gregory, then we'll figure out the
rest."
As for the interference with communication, Mike wasn't too worried, "Trust your teammates. Fools don't survive long in the Abyssal Plane."
Even Maxen could be quite clever at tis.
Not to ntion, the rescue team included two of Mike's acquaintances-Kaelum and Anderson.
They were ticulous individuals, fully capable of handling unexpected situations.
"Alright."
In the mist, Shadow Ten, following Mike's instructions, set off again towards Professor Gregory's location.
...
On the other side of the Suture Abyss, 1500 miles away.
The rescue team was resting.
After entering the Suture Abyss, they had fought several fierce battles.
Due to special buffs, Maxen and Joseph couldn't harm the monsters.
However, as tanks and support, they were undoubtedly top-notch!
The others only needed to focus on dealing damage.
"Another one of these strange things!"
Under Joseph's command, Kaelum used Wind's Reach to successfully kill a demon god seed.
After the successful strike, kaelum looked worried and said, "Nephew, sothing feels off!"
"Call Deputy Leader!" Joseph said sternly, "What's off?"
"When I attacked this strange demon creature, I used a Space Elent skill, and it had no
effect."
As soon as Kaelum finished speaking, soone added, "Right, my fire elent magic didn't
work either!"
"Space Elent, Fire Elent..."
Joseph pondered these words. Demon god seeds were immune to these?
As potential demon gods, having so immunity was reasonable.
"ssage from Shadow Ten!"
Maxen's face darkened as he received the ssage, "The translation is gibberish, clearly
tampered with!"
This situation had been anticipated.
Joseph said, "Send a simple reply, telling them we didn't receive it."
As for the strange encounter with the demon god seed, Joseph and Maxen discussed it briefly.
Maxen casually ntioned, "Shadow Ten ntioned before that there are eighteen of these demon god seeds. It seems they've encountered them too. Damage immunity, determining the source of lethal damage, I've seen similar things on the battlefield before.
In other words, the more we kill, the tougher they get.
So far: Space Elent, Wind Elent, Fire Elent, the demon god seeds have already gained
immunity to three elents."
Even without the Eye of Truth's prompt, the two quickly deduced most of the truth.
"Attention, everyone!"
Maxen shared the deduced information with the group, emphasizing,
"Do not use Lightning Elent, Blood Elent, or Shadow Elent skills to attack the
demon god seeds!"
Given the nature of the demon god seeds, the most powerful thods should be saved for
last!
Joseph specialized in [Space Elent] and [Wind Elent], making him practically useless
now.
But Maxen always considered him useless anyway,
So, no big difference.
After hearing Maxen's command, the group was initially stunned, then soone exclaid,
"Thor is here?!"
"Holy fuck, really, Thor is here too!"
"Thor is actually with us? No, Thor should be acting separately!"
|| ||
These carefully selected team mbers were all sharp.
Kaelum here was just the floor of their intelligence.
From Maxen's single sentence, they deduced that Thor was also in the Suture Abyss!
Lightning!
Which human genius was most proficient in Lightning nowadays?
No need to ask!
Potential Supre Being, Thor!
Imdiately, the rescue team's morale soared, everyone shouting, "Kill demon creatures,
clear the mist! Rescue Professor Gregory, find Thor!"
Maxen sighed, puzzled.
Why would anyone rush to et Thor, as if they had too much money?
Too young, these youngsters!
Silly kids, run away while you can!
