Wudi suddenly became curious about how Catherine got in, managing to pass through the guards and jailers without any hindrance.
308. Forbidden Zone of Life
The disc descended along the pipe, and the surrounding light became increasingly scarce. Accompanied by screams and wails, the space grew even darker, and there were even swollen and mutilated corpses floating in the sea, being torn apart by vicious sharks kept by the sea creatures.
This awakened Blackvine and White Dew's thalassophobia; the two Night Elves had never ventured into the deep sea, and their hearts pounded so hard they could be heard clearly.
The prisoners on the second level wore heavy iron shackles, and many of them were of high rank and possessed great strength.
They were not allowed to absorb elements, and their food and water were strictly controlled, leaving them extremely weak.
A small number of prisoners possessed strong souls, likely because they were newcomers. The rest had depleted souls, leaving them with immense power but unable to utilize it, forced to watch helplessly as they died.
The people here are all different, though each area is more or less the same. Some have empty eyes, others have crazed expressions, and they spend their days and nights atoning for their sins in the sunless abyss. It would be hard for them not to go mad.
A bead of sweat appeared on Fenrui'er's forehead as she asked in a low voice, "Did you find it?"
Upon entering the forbidden abyss, the Black Knight rediscovered Ekaterina's presence, but not here; she was in an even deeper, more secluded place.
Invincible shook his head. This was the worst news for the three girls, as it meant they would have to go deeper, as if they had just walked through hell.
How should we get out of here?
Fenruier had a terrible headache, and her warrior instincts kept scanning the forbidden area of the Heavenly Father.
Unfortunately, apart from this one-way tunnel, there is no other way to escape from the underwater labyrinth. Unless one violently breaks through countless layers of cracked rock, but the law is restrained, and here, saints are merely more powerful high-ranking beings.
Black Vine and White Dew could no longer bear to watch the horrific scene on the second level. In the blink of an eye, the disc was about to leave the abyss passage and obtain permission to enter the third level.
At this moment, a bubble floated up and adhered to the pipe wall.
A dark-haired woman in a sexy leather outfit jumped in and stepped onto the circular platform, seemingly on her way.
The woman in the leather coat had grotesque fleshy wings and a black, arrow-shaped tail covered in barbs. Her hooves and claws were not shackled with heavy chains. Only a spiked collar around her neck indicated that she had been a prisoner in the past, a demonic jailer who assisted the sea creatures in torturing other prisoners.
Fenruier raised an eyebrow; even after being stripped of her title as Holy War Maiden, she still harbored immense hatred for creatures of the abyss.
The female demon, however, looked at the four of them with a natural expression and curiosity.
"Oh? I haven't heard of any new good friends."
The jailer glanced at Fenrir, showing no interest whatsoever.
Humans in the new era are scattered all over the world, with an astonishing ability to reproduce, and they are as ubiquitous as pests. This is also the reason why the Bitch God-King chose the Holy Alliance; their faith is cheap and abundant.
"Let me see what new toys we have."
The demon chuckled as it passed the two Night Elves, nodding slightly, unsurprised by the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations. Then, it eagerly reached out its hand to the tall, headless knight.
Regardless of their past identity or power, once they enter the Abyss of Oblivion, they have only one name: Prisoner.
Saints and royalty alike are just ordinary people powerless to resist here, and all prisoners must obey the warden's orders!
"what!"
The jailer screamed as Fenrui grabbed his bony arm, causing him excruciating pain, and lashed out with his whip!
Snapped!
The whip was easily caught and tightly wrapped around the armor.
Fenrui said coldly, "Get out of my way, this is my prisoner!"
"Humph!"
The demon, having met with a rebuff, and intimidated by the opponent's strength, retreated, clutching his arm. Then, a thought struck him: "Are these two elves and the headless fellow going to the Sea of Terror?"
The Abyss of Oblivion has three layers in the eyes of the world, each layer representing despair.
The first level is the Sea of Death, the second level is the Sea of Ghosts, and the third level is the Sea of Deep Terror, used to imprison saints with extremely high threat levels.
Fenrui ignored him, so the jailer leaned against the wall and talked to himself, his eyes fixed on the depths of the abyss.
"Isn't it beautiful? Soon, you'll all fall in love with this place just like I have!"
Invincible's eyes flickered, watching the water column rising from the sea prison below. The strange patterns carved on the ground were the Heavenly Father Runes of Trapped Sky Island.
Each blue halo imprisons a saint, some of whom have died from the torment of countless years, while others are still suffering. They are the remnants of those exiled to the abyss for thousands of years.
Black Vine was shocked, sensing many familiar auras, including a great demon from the abyss and a Night Elf elder from the Blessed Ones. None of them could leave this place.
Bai Lu saw a giant red snake in the darkness. The snake was smooth and scaleless, and its belly was covered with suckers. Upon closer inspection, she realized that it was actually a tentacle.
Following the tentacles, one could see a huge creature wriggling slightly in the shadows, its size comparable to that of the World Serpent.
Bai Lu's heart skipped a beat, and she covered her mouth in fright, not daring to look any further.
The disc stopped amidst the numerous blue beams of light, ceasing its descent, seemingly having reached its end.
Suddenly, a huge, imprisoned eyeball appeared beside them, staring intently at the four of them. Its bloodshot pupils were fixed on them, yet it could not utter a sound, sending chills down their spines.
"That's enough. Hand them over to me, and you can leave."
For ordinary prison guards, this is the limit; anything below is a forbidden zone they are not qualified to explore.
Fenrui shook her head slightly and sneered, "Sinners do not belong here. We must continue to the fourth level."
"What!?"
The demon was somewhat surprised by the prisoner's identity. Over the years, apart from the warden, only three other extraordinary monsters had been able to enter the Boundless Sea.
Saints are insignificant here, merely toys for the jailers to amuse themselves. What right do these three prisoners have to be locked up on the fourth floor?
The demon hesitated and said, "But without the Sea King's decree, no one can enter the Boundless Sea."
Fenrir grabbed the jailer by the neck. "I didn't ask for your advice."
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
"Wrong answer."
The jailer struggled violently, trying to attract the attention of the patrolling soldiers. Fenrir curled her lips into a smile, grabbed one half of her wing with her right hand, and ripped it off.
Black blood flowed across the ground, seeping into the seawater beyond the foam, but the screams were choked in the throats of the jailers, tightly strangled.
The demon finally awoke from its morbid authority that overridden life, realizing that the other party was not a prisoner to be slaughtered, and pleaded in a trembling voice, "I don't have the authority to open the Boundless Sea at all!"
"Congratulations, you have just lost the last bit of value in your life."
Fenrui pouted, just as she was about to crush the lowly cockroach and think of another way to dive down, when the Deep Sea of Terror beneath her feet began to tremble slightly.
"what happened?"
Hei Man and Bai Lu broke free of their shackles and gripped their weapons tightly.
-------------------------------------------------- ---
This map is quite important, and I'll be back later, so I've written a bit more about it. Originally, it was supposed to appear later along with the carefully prepared main villain, but since everyone dislikes Pompey, I had to skip over it and make some changes.
Otherwise, if the villain dies as soon as they appear, it makes them seem stupid and it doesn't make sense.
309. Whose food?
Wudi lifted his head from Fenrui'er's arms, signaling her to calm down.
Buzz-------
The blue water column in the underwater world shone brightly, and many saints imprisoned in the Sea of Terror convulsed and spasmed, their power once again depleted.
Powerful spirits seeped into the ground from the pillar of light, flowing along blue veins into the deep rocks of the seabed.
As if it had absorbed enough power, the sea finally stopped trembling, and the bottomless abyss below the foam pipe began to glow, no longer resisting the outsider. A powerful gravitational wave instantly sucked the disc in!
The four of them suddenly felt their bodies sink, as if the space around them had plummeted and they had vanished into boundless darkness. They were now very, very far away from the sea.
The devilish jailer was the first to cry out in despair: "No! No! I don't want to go down!"
Invincible and Fenruier exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with gloom, as if they had seen something.
The Sea of Deep Terror was drawing out the souls of the Holy Realm, gathering the power of numerous saints to suppress the prisoners below. Without that powerful gravitational wave, no one could descend or escape.
The Black Knights didn't know what they would face next, but they were certain that someone knew they were coming and had opened the doors to welcome their prey into the trap.
There was no choice, and there was no way to go back.
Boom!
The disc detached from the foam and was sucked into the bottom of the abyss by gravitational waves, embedding itself deep into the white earth.
Fenrir and the two dancers were stunned by the sudden shockwave and collapsed to the ground, while the Black Knight remained unmoved, holding his head.
The boundless sea was completely dark, without a trace of light. The feeling of emptiness and void made the beautiful goddess king feel a sense of familiarity. This must be the edge of the main plane, infinitely close to the void.
With each step down the three layers of the abyss above, the oppressive force from the deep sea intensifies several times, making people's minds waver and unable to breathe. But here, miraculously, there is no seawater seepage, and it is as dry and normal as the land, as if it were another dimension.
Catherine was still not here, but she had been here and had not lingered; she had vanished into the boundless sea in an instant, her presence lasting only a moment.
what happened?
Black Vine lit a torch, illuminating the dark air, but still nothing could be seen; the group seemed to be in a deep underground cave.
"Could there be some terrible prisoners being held here too?"
Fenrir took a deep breath to calm herself and said with a complicated expression, "I don't know, but the Holy See's divine records state that the previous Abyss Demon King was also imprisoned in the Abyss of Oblivion to atone for his sins. I hope he is dead."
What if he didn't die?
Bai Lu was drenched in cold sweat. What kind of monster would require the combined efforts of countless saints to suppress? It must be at the bottom of the abyss!
The demonic jailer lay on the ground, trembling with extreme fear, repeatedly saying "No."
"Is this the boundless sea?"
Fenrir stepped on the female demon's head and questioned her, but the demon screamed like a madwoman, "There are no guards on the fourth level! No guards! Only food is thrown down! You bunch of idiots! Idiots!"
Hei Man frowned slightly. She had been puzzled by the jailers' attitude before, as no one seemed to care about anything from the Sea of Death to the Sea of Ghosts.
The female demon is a jailer on the third level, in charge of the prisoners in the Sea of Deep Terror. However, there are no sea creature soldiers there; instead, the surrounding area is filled with crazed jailers who were once prisoners.
That could only be one reason: each layer of the Abyss is isolated from the others, with only an entrance and no exit, so no sea creature would continue to venture deeper into the Forgotten Abyss.
