Han Dong had been pondering this question all along.
Judging from the initial observed outline, the other mysterious team all appeared in ’human form’, suggesting they were less likely to be Demons.
After all, only so Demons take on human shapes, and most are rely ’humanoid’ rather than fully human in appearance.
For instance, Sally with her goat’s hoof, or possessing exposed tentacles, or like the Swollen Doctor previously with an oversized exposed brain.
Therefore,
Han Dong speculated that this team might be ’Dinsion Explorers’ from the Black Tower.
After all, the Black Tower and S-01 might establish a cooperative relationship recently, and with Black Tower’s technology, it is capable of traversing between Shattered Dinsions, dispatching exploration teams in advance to asure world gaps to create more stable world channels.
Unexpectedly,
Upon reading the mory images, what was seen was actually a group of engineers and researchers dressed in B.B.C uniforms,
along with two individuals with completely different styles, who must be the Out of Control leading the team.
Han Dong also shared one particularly exaggerated piece of mory,
which left Pope and Eugens both with a look of sheer shock... This mory image just happened to record how the explosion occurred.
Within the scene.
A slim man in the style of a British Gangster seed annoyed as dust stained his coat, unable to find the entrance to the lower level for so ti.
An impatient expression was evident on his face,
as he pulled out a box of dark red matches labeled with a Skull Bomb.
When lit, the tip of the match burned with a black fla.
As the black fla appeared, another Out of Control individual, dressed like a bank clerk, imdiately took out a stack of bills, seemingly to shield against the impact of the explosion.
When the seemingly ordinary match fell freely and touched the ground, a destructive explosion was instantly ford.
A hole was blasted through the bottom of the temple.
The climate and geological structure of the entire frozen continent were completely altered by this match.
The ice-skinned woman disguised by Han Dong spoke with a voice full of sorrow:
"Does a single match have such power?
Moreover, the explosive heat seems to have a ’selective’ effect."
While causing enormous destruction to the Temple and even altering the structure and climate of the entire continent, the nearby team mbers were hardly affected.
This is evidently an extre control over power.
Their level..."
Pope replied: "The man using the match should possess power comparable to a Middle Position Old King.
And as Nicholas ntioned earlier, these special entities defined as ’Out of Control’ have abilities that are very unique, deadly, or strange, which makes dealing with them more troubleso."
"Should we retreat?"
Eugens asked a crucial question.
Pope didn’t respond but instead looked towards Han Dong.
From Pope’s personal standpoint, he had no necessity to stay here, and he had co to the Shattered Dinsion only because his teacher instructed him to.
Han Dong brushed through the white hair on Skull Head, speaking deeply in character:
"Indeed, the risk has exceeded our capacity, and you have no reason to go further... I am already very grateful that you accompanied in exploring the Shattered Dinsion.
Pope, you and Eugens should return to the [Plant Planet].
Give six hours; if I don’t return on ti, you should leave."
This scene felt familiar.
The last ti, under Professor Morgan’s forceful request to explore the depths of the relic, Han Dong also insisted on staying alone.
However, the nature of the two incidents differed vastly.
Before Pope could respond, Eugens spoke first:
"I just asked if we should withdraw... If not, we should continue on.
The Book of Dead Spirit is a valuable heritage of our world; we can’t allow it to be seized by outsiders, especially a group that will threaten our world.
Since the opponent seems to possess [Middle Rank] level, we should continue to use this unexposed advantage and disguise ourselves as much as possible.
Avoid direct confrontation as much as possible,
and focus on seizing the Remnant Pages... Nicholas, since your Dead Spirit Demon Eye has ford, you should be able to locate the precise position of the remnants, right?"
Eugens’ statent surprised Han Dong, who responded imdiately:
"The Bone Remnants should be sealed in a secret room or locked away by so thod unknown to ; currently, I can only ascertain that the remnants are below.
As for the specific location, we might be able to determine it if we get a bit closer."
Pope remained silent from start to finish, evidently agreeing to the subsequent actions by default.
"I will lead again, but this ti you need to maintain a distance of more than ten ters from ... This will significantly increase the chance of a smooth retreat if discovered.
Let’s go."
Han Dong jumped directly into the large hole torn open by the explosion.
Pope and Eugens waited a mont before silently following him.
...
This temple constructed entirely of bones extended into the underground center of the continent.
The team led by the Bank Clerk and the Matchstick Man has reached the deepest part.
Actually,
their initial goal was to explore here, to pack and carry the relics, remains, and even living entities back to B.B.C for research, to deepen everyone’s understanding of the Shattered Dinsion and Demons.
However, upon arriving at the temple,
they could clearly sense that everything here was influenced and supported by a certain "single material"... Even the troubleso Dead Spirits, immune to magic, were born from this material.
The Matchstick Man decided at the mont,
to alter the exploration plan and prioritize obtaining the "single material."
Even if it ans completely destroying the temple relics and killing all living entities here.
By using match explosions, they quickly arrived at the deepest point.
In front of them, a [Gate] carved with human bone structures blocked their path, with an unsettling aura emanating from the interior, and around the door’s crevice, a lot of white bone-like material had already seeped out.
"Back up a bit."
The Matchstick Man chose to blast open the gate as usual.
With a single hand, he lit a match burning with black fla,
held it between his thumb and forefinger, then flicked it with his middle finger... Boom! Through a special field, the explosion range perfectly matched the size of the door.
A scorching wave of fla surged and sprayed through the ruined temple.
However.
Once the heat wave subsided, the bone gate remained unmoved,
only the human skeleton carved on its surface was partially scorched.
"Hmm? It seems what’s sealed inside here is quite intriguing... Let’s try this one."
A completely different box of pure white matches was produced.
Before using this box of matches, the Matchstick Man briefly showed a reluctant expression, as if it belonged to a rare, limited class of precious items.
Scrape!
When lit, the tip glowed with a silent pale blue fla.
No noticeable change in temperature was felt.
With a gentle flick, the match traced a perfect arc in the air and touched the bone gate.
An anticipation of a larger-scale explosion arose.
However,
The match extinguished upon touching the gate... More accurately, it transmitted a special fla into the gate body.
In the next instant.
The entire bone gate ignited with a pale blue fla, completely consuming the energy core residing within the gate.
Creek~
The gate appeared unchanged but the seal effects were clearly lost.
With a slight push, the heavy bone gate slowly swung inward...
