Otherwise, you can find another savior.

"No, let them continue to monitor from other angles." Shiomi narrowed his eyes and wrapped the Tetrot's line around his waist, "My intuition always tells me that there is something underneath that must be confirmed.

Ash nodded silently and strengthened Tetrot's line.

At this time, Shiomi wrote a complete protective spell to protect herself in a self-disciplined manner.

"Well, I'm off then."

He stood on the edge of the cliff of the Big Hole, opened his arms, took a deep breath, and fell forward, falling into the darkness of the Big Hole like a big black bird.

Chapter 71: Under the Great Void

8000 m.

It is close to the height of the world's highest peak. On the ground, eight kilometers is just a slightly long distance to walk, but when placed vertically, it is close to the depth of the trench that humans cannot fully explore.

There was nothing in the big hole, and even Shiomi felt challenged when jumping vertically from the ground.

It was comparable to the time when he was exploring the singularity, and because of some unclear detection of the situation in the singularity, his spirit particles were transferred and appeared in the sky.

The biggest difference is that as you go deeper into the cavity, there is no light to illuminate.

It was dark all around.

Shiomi was counting down silently in his mind, and after counting to "40", he immediately used magic to lighten his body, slowing down his descent. The silk thread tied around his waist bent accordingly and was no longer pulled by the weight.

dust.

This was the first thing Shiomi noticed.

The size of the space inside the large void has not changed, and there is no sign of any living organisms.

However, the dust concentration in the air increased rapidly as it descended.

It was a substance that was widely present in the air of Britain. Because it was relatively thin on the ground, Shiomi quickly got used to it and regarded it as a special situation in the anomalous zone.

However, unlike the ground, the dust concentration gradually increased, and it was obviously drifting away from this place.

At a depth of 8000 meters, the dust maintains an overall upward trend and gradually becomes thinner.

"There's dust... Is something burning?"

He continued to use magic to protect his body, preventing the dust from entering his lungs with his breathing.

The air temperature inside the large cavity is warmer than on the ground, but the air pressure is undoubtedly very high.

If it were an ordinary fairy or human, Shiomi would probably not be able to breathe in this position.

Slowly, Shiomi felt something right below her. Had she reached the bottom?

As he thought about this, he slowed down and continued to descend. He guessed that the length of Tetrot's silk thread had not yet been completely used up, which was less than 8000 meters.

It was pitch black all around.

But there was a strange aura surrounding Xijian.

"curse?"

Xijian couldn't help but talk to himself.

The curse is quite severe. If an ordinary human comes into contact with it, he will be completely eroded within a few minutes.

There are two reasons why he was able to isolate this curse of unknown origin.

One is the power of life, and the other is the original rune's ability to resist curses.

Having laid down the rune of return curse as a precaution from the very beginning, Shiomi is now convinced that his caution was right.

And, right below him, there was not the bottom of a large void, but something that existed there, and was constantly burning.

The burning matter turned into dust, drifted upward, and finally mixed into the British air in a thin state.

The faint flame gradually became clearer as he slowly descended.

So Shiomi chose to stop descending and hovered at the current position.

"So, what is it, then? Let me take a good look at it."

Xi Jian solemnly wrote runes in the air, and the magical words flew around and turned into starlight one after another.

Beneath the huge void that was originally not illuminated by any light, the huge object that filled the void revealed its true appearance.

After seeing the true appearance of that existence, Shiomi's pupils suddenly contracted.

Cornunnos.

In addition to being surprised, he recognized the identity of this huge being.

It is almost exactly the same as what is depicted in the mural in the secret room below the bell hall of the Rain Clan.

The two horns resemble deer antlers, and the pattern should be on the front.

Everything reveals his identity, which should be Cornunnos.

In the creation myth circulated in Britain, this god fell into eternal sleep after exhausting his power in creating the earth.

It is not surprising that gods died after exhausting their power in creating the world.

Shiomi once suspected that the British land was born from the corpse of Cernunnos.

But the truth seems to be far more complicated than this.

If the land was born from the remains of the gods, the land of Britain should have merged with the remains of Cernunnos long ago, rather than rejecting the land as it does now, forming a large void that cannot completely conceal its existence.

"What an incredible resentment."

Xijian sighed sincerely, took out a stone with rune written on it from his arms, and threw it forward.

These stones explode in the air and then form footholds of varying heights where people can stand for a short period of time.

Relying on invisible steps, Shiomi slowly approached the remains of Cernunnos.

The closer one gets to the remains of the god, the clearer the curse derived from the resentment becomes, trying to corrode any being that intends to get close.

Walking down the stairs step by step, he came to a position where Cornunnos was within reach. Shiomi breathed a sigh of relief, relieving the pressure of being surrounded by the curse.

God's curse must naturally be resolved by God's miracles.

The curse of Cernunnos could not break through the runes of the great god Odin.

"Are you... angry, Cernunnos?" Shiomi looked at the remains of the Antlered God.

The experience of communicating with the goddess Tiamat allowed him to feel emotions more clearly that could not be expressed through words.

However, Cernunnos could not answer Shiomi.

Because this god is dead.

And there is no doubt that he was killed by the original six-winged fairy in some way.

The anger at being killed and the resentment of being treated as the foundation of the land of birth are all very justified.

"Even though resentment has accumulated to this extent, don't you still hate the fairies who killed you?" Xi Jian asked to himself, "Even though you are dead, what exactly do you hope for, you sad god..."

The remains of Cernunnos remained silent, unable to answer Shiomi's sincere questions.

It just continued to burn faintly as always, spreading endless, cursed dust, which eventually spread into the British air, becoming a natural yet imperceptible part of this world.

"As expected, the soul has long since died, but the remains remain as active as they were in life, which is why they have not been swallowed by the land of Britain."

Shiomi slowly raised his hand, palm facing Cernunnos.

"In that case—"

An idea suddenly came to my mind.

The moment his palm touched the remains of the god, Shiomi suddenly recalled that on the mural in the Rain Country, right below the six-winged fairy and the antler god, there was a dragon-like creature with its mouth wide open, as if swallowing.

"I see. Is this the structure? You're not just a curse, you're also... a seal."

Pulling his hand back, Shiomi watched the curse recede and clenched his fists.

Cernunnos left behind both wrath and mercy.

At this moment, Shiomi also made a decision of his own.

Chapter 72 Screening

Teterlot's silk thread is attached with the magic that Ash uses to strengthen it, and it can also communicate with the people below through this thread.

Instead of descending slowly, Shiomi leaped down and used up almost all of the line in a very short time.

So when the descent slowed down and finally stopped, Jian and the others waited at the edge of the big hole.

Just when it was so quiet that Ash began to get restless and was shouting to Shiomi below with the silk thread, the air began to roar.

The ground shook suddenly, lasting only a few seconds, like a sudden earthquake.

Jian used his wand as support to avoid falling to the ground.

When the shaking subsided, she saw that Shiomi had returned to the ground and was standing next to the big hole.

Jian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile.

But she saw Xijian slowly walking over, holding her hand and leading her back.

"My husband?" Jian didn't react. She only saw Ximian looking as gloomy as water and extremely serious.

Behind them, Tetelot and Bawan Xi hurriedly gathered their things, trying to keep up.

Because of the earthquake, the Black Knight, Reinek and Grimm also rushed over from other directions to join them.

"Wait a minute, what's down there? Why are you in such a hurry to turn back?"

Grimm asked from behind.

Then without any warning, four guns fell from the sky, cutting off the crowd's progress.

Two red spears, and Gungnir and Longinus.

Xi Jian also stopped at this moment, turned around and took two steps, protecting Jian Yi behind him.

"Grimm, come here first." Shiomi said.

"...Okay." Grimm noticed Shiomi's intention, walked through the guns and came to their side.

In private, Xijian often deliberately called him Setant, or "senior brother" in a funny way.

He is only called Grimm in situations like war.

"What exactly happened? Why does the sage look unhappy?" asked Hector.

Having followed the savior and the sage for thousands of years, the always cautious Shiomi has never shown such deep vigilance towards his companions.

Xijian opened his arms slightly, with magical power flowing through his body.

"The following is a very serious choice. As fairies traveling with us, you must understand and carefully consider your future path."

"Please give me your instructions, sir," said Reinek.

He felt an unprecedented desire to fight, which made him, as Yaling of Fang, very excited and wanted to challenge.

But he understood even more clearly that this would be an even more complete defeat than the last battle, with no possibility of survival.

After all, in the battle not long ago, the sage never drew his weapon from beginning to end, but relied on pure magic to defeat Reinecke.

The four guns now blocking their way are all weapons that cannot be underestimated.

"Beneath the Great Void lie the remains of Cernunnos, the god mentioned in Britain's creation myth," Shiomi said slowly. "The wrath left behind by the god's remains has transformed into resentment, cursing Britain. The cause is the sins committed by your first six ancestors."

"What crime?" Teterlot didn't understand.

"The act of murdering a god and using his remains as soil to create the earth." Shiomi answered slowly.

Of course, this is only a partial answer.

Shiomi was convinced that there was a deeper story behind this, and the goblins' crimes were not just that simple.

"Wait a minute... Could it be that the remains of Cornunnos that my husband saw under the Great Void are the source of Britain's disaster?" Ash and Shiomi shared the most information and were the first to react.

"From what I see now, that's exactly what's happening." Shiomi nodded in confirmation, continuing to gaze at his separated companions. "Our... no, it's Ash and I who are taking action. Our true purpose is to settle this sin that cannot be erased, no matter how many generations pass."

As the four of them are the only fairy companions at the moment, Shiomi believes that they should be given the right to know and choose.

After all, if it were any other fairy, just knowing that they were going to be "cleared of sins" would undoubtedly make them hostile. They would not think deeply about what the "sin" was, let alone admit it.
