Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 893 Natural Laws and Human Instinct

Thor knew that Camus couldn't possibly be the master of the Black Tide; he was just using an exaggerated statement to provoke Camus into revealing a sliver of the truth.

But he didn't expect that the truth Camus revealed would be something he...couldn't accept.

Anchor point is a skeleton in a desolate world.

And in this desolate world, there are thousands upon thousands of such skeletons. Even the skeleton that appeared before Thor was only one of the smallest among them.

Did you see that?

Camus's voice continued to echo in Thor's mind.

The Black Tide Anchor Points, feared throughout the wizarding world, are actually everywhere. Once the Eye of the Abyss fully opens its exit to the wizarding world, the Black Tide will instantly corrupt the entire world, and even fourth-tier wizards will be unable to resist. And the opening of the Eye of the Abyss is inevitable.

"If that's what you think, why tell me? Or do you think I can stop all of this?"

You can't stop this. But you're just stalling for time. It's unnecessary, Thor, really unnecessary. The destruction and birth of worlds are fundamental natural laws; if you stand in their way, you'll only be crushed to pieces.

Thor found it amusing. "You say the birth and destruction of the world are natural laws, but isn't human resistance also part of those natural laws? The desire to survive is also a human instinct. You can't just emphasize natural laws to me and make me forget my instincts."

But your struggle is destined to be fruitless.

Saul was no longer willing to listen to Camus's lecturing; such an argument was utterly pointless.

"Is there anything else you'd like to say? For example, where is this place?"

When asked the main question, Camus fell silent.

Saul realized that Camus had no intention of attacking her, and it seemed that there was nothing she, a local, could do in this place.

Moreover, the Death Wizard's Diary did not provide any warning.

Thor had only glimpsed a fragment of fate in this place.

Since that's the case, why not go all out?

"Since you don't want to say, I'll guess. There are anchor points everywhere here, and these anchor points come from the Black Tide, which in turn comes from the Eye of the Abyss. Could this be the inner space of the Eye of the Abyss?"

If this is the inner space of the Eye of the Abyss, then the appearance of the Chaotic Domain here makes sense. After all, the Eye of the Abyss did indeed devour a continent once.

Camus remained silent for a moment.

You can think of it that way. You can guess however you want, but it's pointless.

"Some things aren't truly meaningless just because you say so. You're already a corpse; your existence and demise are no different from mine."

Thor looked around and found nothing but bones and earth.

This is the silent eye of the abyss, but beneath your feet lies a world still teeming with life.

Thor wasn't thinking about whether there was a way to preserve the wizarding world like the Chaos Realm should the Black Tide actually erupt one day.

He was pondering whether the Chaotic Realm could "survive" in the Eye of the Abyss meant that his world still had a way to fight against the Black Tide.

For example, the membrane that envelops the entire chaotic realm.

"You are Camus, my mentor Gorza's predecessor. So how did you become the anchor point for the Eye of the Abyss?"

This time Camus remained silent. She seemed to realize that Saul was not swayed by her words and was trying to trick her into revealing more information.

Your struggles are pointless.

She started repeating what she had said before.

The wizarding world is destined to be destroyed by the Black Tide.

Thor already had some guesses in his mind, but he couldn't verify them here.

"Your persuasion is pointless. Even if I'm going to die anyway, I'll definitely die standing up."

Thor shrank back.

Camus simply watched him leave without intervening.

"She really can't touch the Fate Line. The reason she can sense the existence of my Fate Line is probably because the anchor point on her index finger and her current body may share the same origin."

Seeing that Thor had regained his spirits, Claire, who was nearby, immediately came over.

"Any new discoveries?"

"Yes." Thor called everyone over and then told them about his experience and his guesses.

"This world is indeed not simple." Keli shook her head, gently tossing the skeletal remains she had just discovered in her hand.

"It's not entirely certain yet," Byron said.

Saul said, "It's too early to tell whether they can't or don't want to, but they won't affect us for the time being."

Thor pointed to the mountain wall, "I haven't been to other places close to the underground yet, so I don't know if every place has a gap leading to the outside world. At the same time, we also need to figure out if the reason there are so many skeletal monsters here is related to the gaps underground."

Byron listened and nodded. "These things will probably take some time to verify."

Unfortunately, Thor didn't have much free time.

After deciding on their next course of action, the three temporarily returned to the no-man's-land.

After all, they're still using the pretense of the storm's approach; they always need to find time to put on a show.

Thor also pretended to be searching for the eye of the storm, but he would always find something else to do along the way.

For example, on this particular day, Thor activated the Rainbow Channel on the road and told the driver to continue driving.

Now he enters the iridescent channel every so often to monitor the movements of several targets in Symphony of Fate.

Besides exchanging information with each other, they can also obtain some news.

Today, as soon as Thor entered the Rainbow Channel, he heard Midor's plea for help.

Midor: [Lord Thor, my growth has hit a bottleneck.]

Thor was naturally concerned about the life trajectories of the targets, and he shared Midor's words directly with everyone.

"What kind of bottleneck?"

Midor: [I simply can't grow up anytime soon.]

Her voice sounded a little aggrieved.

I've been trying my best to eat, grow taller, and gain weight, but no matter how much I eat or what I eat, my body remains stuck in its current shape.

"The limit of growth?" Thor recalled the upside-down tree he had seen at Bydon Academy. "It shouldn't be the limit yet."

Considering the time it took for Midor to enter her new body, Thor could only attribute it to a plateau in her growth.

"Just like you said, Midor, you've hit a growth plateau. It may take time for you to adjust and grow again."

Midor: [But at this rate, I won't be able to completely cover the Red Sea Tree grove by the next Black Tide. It might not even cover half. The wizards of the Tribunal are about to realize I've hit a bottleneck. If they find I can't care for all the Red Sea Trees, will they give up on nurturing me?]

"That shouldn't be the case. If it's just the next Black Tide, the Tribunal should be able to get through it."

But I'm afraid that even if I grow to my maximum potential, I won't be able to protect all the Red Sea Trees. What should I do?

No one knows whether a particular growth bottleneck is the limit of growth. Although the Tribunal will not easily give up on Midor, it will definitely affect Midor's growth.

Just as Thor was pondering a solution, Char, who had been listening in for a while, suddenly spoke up.

Char: [Wait a minute, Thor. If I remember correctly, Midor's new body incorporates tissue from the Inverted Tree, right?]

"That's right."

Char: [If I heard correctly, Midor used tree roots to penetrate the Red Sea Tree to absorb the pollution inside.]

Thor continued to nod.

Char: [But when the upside-down tree absorbs nutrients, it never uses its roots to anchor itself anywhere!]

Midor didn't understand what it meant, but Thor suddenly realized.

"The upside-down tree controls the puppet through thin, invisible threads. Could it also absorb nutrients in this way?"

Char: [You guessed right!]
