Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 999 Showdown

"Aren't we preventing the abyss from erupting right now?" Douglas was not surprised at all by Gorza's question.

He shook the beaker in his hand, and the liquid in the beaker turned red for a moment, then quickly returned to transparency.

Gorza walked over, took the beaker from Douglas's right hand, and gently swirled it. The liquid in the beaker turned red for a moment, then quickly returned to its transparent color.

"Are you helping to weaken the Queen's consciousness? Are you also giving her a false impression?"

"Yes. For pure consciousness, this is the simplest and most effective method."

"Unfortunately, no matter how powerful the Queen Insect is, she cannot directly destroy the Abyss."

Douglas suddenly put down the beaker he was holding, straightened his wizard's robes, leaned against the lab table, and looked at Gorsa with a leisurely air. "You know who I am? How did you find out?"

Gorsa was taken aback, not expecting the other party to be so direct. "I thought you would continue to pretend until you gave an answer."

Douglas showed no panic at having his disguise exposed. "The pretense was just to prevent you from becoming completely dependent on me, from stopping your own thinking, and from constantly asking me for answers. I'm just a fifth-tier wizard with no way to advance; how could I possibly be 100% certain of defeating a sixth-tier wizard?"

These words sounded like a mockery of Gorsa for directly asking him for answers. But Gorsa showed no shame whatsoever.

"They all want to guide us step by step according to your plan, and now they say they don't want us to be completely dependent on you. Only Xia would believe such a lame lie," Gorza thought to himself, his face bandaged, concealing all his expressions.

"Oh, I see," Douglas said, as if remembering something, "You know Floco, don't you?"

"I've met him once."

As long as it doesn't involve Thor, Flock can be sold.

Douglas shook his head helplessly. "When I first showed up, I intended to kill him, but something went wrong, and I didn't get a chance to do it. At that time, I thought you might discover my identity because of this. I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly."

When Douglas said he wanted to kill Froco, he spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if he were talking about eating an apple rather than killing a Tier 5.

Gorsa pressed on, "If you really wanted to deal with the Eye of the Abyss, why would you want to kill Floco? He was a fifth-tier being, after all. Wouldn't it have been better for him to stay and help you?"

Douglas chuckled. "Because I don't necessarily need to deal with the Eye of the Abyss. If the benefits of killing Floco outweigh those of the Eye of the Abyss, I can naturally take him down. The reason I spared his life in the end was precisely to resolve the problem of the Abyss."

"So what exactly do you want to do? It can't be that you're suddenly acting out of kindness and want to save your hometown, can it?"

"Of course not," Douglas readily admitted. "I just want to observe the death of a sixth-tier being. Since you've met Flock, you should know that I've been stuck at the peak of the fifth tier for a very long time. If I can observe the annihilation and fall of a sixth-tier being up close, the knowledge I gain in the process might help me advance. Being stuck at the threshold of the sixth tier, I realized that power and such are all meaningless; only knowledge is eternal."

"Knowledge is power."

"Unfortunately, it took me a long time and many failed experiments before I realized this."

Douglas looked at Gorza, whose smile had vanished.

"Now you understand why I stayed to help you, right?"

"My understanding is that you want us to directly confront the Abyss and prevent its resurrection, while you, as a third party, carefully observe the annihilation of the sixth order to gain knowledge from it. To uncover the secrets of the sixth order's essence through observation, you naturally cannot be distracted, so you cannot intervene directly, but can only guide us," Gorsa said lazily. "But I still hope you can be more specific in your guidance, after all, we don't have much time left. Although this is a matter of life and death for us, for you, observing the death of a sixth order being up close is also a rare and precious opportunity."

Since there is demand, we can discuss cooperation.

Even when facing a seasoned fifth-tier opponent, Gorsa was not intimidated at all.

"You're right, but haven't we been working together all along?" Douglas walked to Gorza's side, raised his hand and gently patted his shoulder. "As for the progress of the guidance, you don't need to worry about it. Just be my guinea pigs. I'll do my best to keep you alive."

After saying that, Douglas walked out of the laboratory, while Gorza remained standing in the same spot.

It wasn't until a second-tier wizard saw Gorsa standing alone in the laboratory that he approached him with a puzzled look and asked for instructions.

"Speaker, what are your orders?"

However, the next second, Gorsa's figure suddenly vanished, completely ignoring the second-tier wizard.

The second-tier wizard touched his nose somewhat awkwardly, but didn't take Gorsa's sudden disappearance to heart.

The new speaker can teleport, and his temper is notoriously eccentric; if he ignores people, so be it.

However, what this second-tier wizard didn't know was that Gorsa had just teleported back to the Stargate Speaker's private spherical room when he suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood.

The black blood was still churning and boiling when it hit the ground, as if something was fighting inside.

Gersa slumped to the ground and slowly closed his eyes.

I just patted him twice when we arrived in Grasse, and the cells in his body started launching suicidal attacks on each other.

Only after he used his resurrection technique to quickly reconstruct the flesh and blood inside the bandages was he able to isolate the cells that were still killing each other and expel them from his body in one gulp.

The black blood on the ground continued to fight, tearing at each other, devouring one another. The pool of blood dwindled, until finally only a shriveled patch of black powder remained.

"Extremely powerful death energy." Only then did Gorsa slowly open his eyes. "No wonder he was so interested in a sixth-tier death being."

A few days later, Gorza spoke with Thor about the matter privately on the Chroma Channel.

Through the Symphony of Fate, Thor has discovered that Gorza has survived a life-or-death crisis, which has given him a tremendous force of destiny.

He was worried about affecting Gorsa's recovery, so he contacted him a few days later.

Thor was equally surprised to learn that Glass had directly confronted Gorza.

After a moment's thought, Thor asked, "Mentor, do you think what Douglas said is true?"

Gorza: [Ha, I think it's only 90% believable, but the 10% he's hiding is the most crucial for us.]

What could a fifth-tier wizard, who has been away from the wizarding world for a long time and has no need to get involved in this mess, possibly have to hide?

Unless the contents of this concealment would seriously harm Saul and his companions' interests... or even their lives.

"Could Douglas be treating us like another kind of red worm, ready to drag us over to our deaths?" Thor wondered.

Gorsa: [If that's the case, then it's not impossible.]

Huh? Is Instructor Gorsa really that selfless?

After thinking for a moment, Thor shook his head again.

No! It should be that Mentor Gorsa simply believed he wouldn't die.

He's a tough guy who personally went into the abyss and believed he could come back!
