Chapter 2962 From Doomsday
"Iluna, I'm going to take away the cards that seal the gap, why don't you leave first."
"It's okay, don't waste your time."
The eighteen-year-old girl leaned on Xia De's legs and spoke weakly, but her hands were still tightly holding her dark golden scales, trying to share the pressure with Xia De.
Xia De did not insist:
"Get ready. Three, two, one!"
Six cards flew back to Shade from the glowing gap at the same time, and Shade crushed the crystal bottle used to hold the "Tears of Farewell" with a strong squeeze.
The material of the crystal bottle itself is a storage container, and after it is crushed, it can ensure that the liquid is suspended between the crystal fragments. As long as Xia De controls the suspension of the crystal fragments, the liquid inside will also be suspended.
But after the crystal bottle broke, the liquid inside all stained his palm. Shade didn't know why this was different from what Iluna said, but it didn't seem to have any side effects. It was just that the sadness from the bottom of his heart almost made him cry immediately.
He did not tell Iluna about the accident he had encountered. Instead, he raised his palm to block the light in front of him, and then reached for the crack with his hands full of liquid.
For a moment, Shade even felt that he had grasped the split space and time. He subconsciously tried to bring the two sides of the split crack together. He almost thought he was about to succeed. The liquid on his palm was also attracting the crack to gather together again.
The crack then shrank little by little under his palm, and even the dim yellow light projected from it was weakening. Although Xia De also believed that he certainly could not completely eliminate the crack with this method, it was entirely feasible to reduce it to a controllable range.
"Ok!"
Shad's painful cry attracted the depressed Iluna. When she looked up, she saw a black nail-like object piercing Shad's hand that was reaching towards the crack.
She didn't even have time to say anything before the huge impact force that erupted from the crack directly knocked the two of them away along with the [Staff of Yggdrasil] that was pierced into the floor.
Shad rolled on the ground for several times while holding Iluna in his arms before he stopped. When he looked up at the center of the platform, he saw a black right hand wearing an emerald ring and a left hand without anything on reaching out from the glowing crack that had become much smaller and grabbing the crack. After the crack expanded to the left and right, a human head with muscle tissue exposed, as if it had lost its skin, poked out from the dim yellow light.
It probably didn't have dark vision, so it didn't see Shade and Iluna rolling into the darkness. After confirming that there was no one here, its entire body emerged from the dim yellow light, and then it crawled on all fours like a reptile, quickly rushing towards the door.
It was incredibly fast. When Iluna looked up and saw it, it had just slipped out of the door.
"Stop it!"
Iluna said as she rolled over and stood up:
"I'll go stop it, and you stay here and continue to control the crack."
"But."
"We can't let any more things get through."
As she spoke, she stumbled towards the door, but what Shade actually wanted to say was that something was clearly wrong with that thing just now. It was definitely not an evil creature living in the apocalyptic era. It did not have the power that symbolized the end of all things and the madness mixed with the remaining residue before the world was about to disappear.
However, that opponent is obviously not an easy one to fight against. It’s just that Iluna is right, the crack here is the most important at the moment.
After picking up the staff, Xia De looked at his right hand again. The wound on his right hand was healing, but now the whole right hand had turned transparent. Fortunately, the transparent color was slowly fading. He didn't know whether this was the result of his rash contact with the time gap or the effect of the unknowable relic touching him. The biggest problem now was that the [Tears of the Farewell] had been exhausted.
Originally, the gap had been controlled by Xia De to be much smaller than when he first entered, but after the monster came out, the gap expanded again and was on the verge of being completely out of control.
It was too late to think of other solutions, so Shade could only use the "Ancient Elves' Stability Principle" to temporarily stabilize the crack. But before he could reach the platform, problems appeared again around the crack.
With a rumbling sound, two huge tree roots broke through the floor tiles and emerged from the ground. They wrapped around the crack on the left and right, and the tree roots quickly turned black and lifeless, but the crack did shrink under their entanglement.
Xia De now knew where the dead tree roots on the ground came from.
After the first two roots completely died, new roots emerged from the ground and entangled the crack that was supposed to be void of substance. After the second batch of roots died, the third batch followed, and the crack became smaller and smaller in the process, until it was completely wrapped in dense roots, like a tree tumor suspended in the air, with only a faint yellow light projected through the gap between the roots.
But this does not mean that the crack is completely under control, because the tree roots are still dying, and it is clear that the crack will get out of control soon. And controlling the existence of these tree roots is definitely not something that can be done without cost.
In other words, the crisis here has only been temporarily resolved, and we still have to find a way to deal with this time rift, which is the most dangerous in the area.
But at least Xia De doesn't have to stay here for a short time. He knows the origin of those tree roots, but there is no need to delve into it at this time.
The figure holding the staff and chasing Iluna left the black building, leaving only the wriggling tree roots outside the time crack that was trying to expand again, and the broken roots made a sound like a painful groan.
The snow fell even harder within two hours. When Shad ran out of the building and into the canyon, he was stunned by the sight of the heavy snow falling under the dim sunset.
Because of the delay, Iluna's figure had disappeared among the charred dead trees. But Shade didn't need to look carefully, and continued to chase forward for dozens of steps. As the ground shook suddenly, he actually heard the sound of splashing water coming from afar:
"Sound of water? Is there a river nearby?"
The splashing sound was getting closer and closer. After two breaths, a water wall dozens of meters high appeared in the distance of the canyon, and then a wave hit Shade.
"Cough, cough, cough."
When the boat carrying Shad floated up from the bottom of the water, he looked around again. The endless water reflected the dim light of the sky and turned into a turbid yellow. This scene reminded him of the "Sea Return" ceremony at Lengshui Port last summer.
There was no forest in sight in any direction, as if the entire world had sunk beneath the waters.
"What's going on? Mystery lock or the word of ascension?"
But this place doesn't look like the words of sublimation, nor does it have the abnormal feeling of the special space unfolding when the puzzle lock is used. Around me is the turbid water surface, the sky is a yellow sky covered with yellow sand, and even the sun is dyed a dull yellow because of the yellow sand all over the sky.
But at least Shade was glad that it didn't turn into the black color with lines of fire flowing down it in his memory.
The water surface was not calm but there were no raging waves either. The sound of splashing water had completely disappeared at this moment, replaced by dead silence.
After drying his clothes with flames, Xia De stood up on the boat and looked at the sun behind the yellow sand:
"If the ocean still exists in the apocalypse, will it look like this?"
"She" smiled gently in Shade's ear, and Shade was sure that the scene at this moment was not an illusion either. Space and time were mixed up here, and if he really had to describe what this place was like, Shade thought it was more like the venue of those time adventures he had experienced.
But no matter where this place was, he couldn't stay here. He was sure that a fight had already started outside.
[The Stability Principle of the Ancient Elves] is ineffective for the current situation, [Strong Spatial Perception] can only perceive endless turbid waters, and [Ragra's Jump] cannot jump out of this strange area.
But when Shade used [Return of Time], he just pushed himself lightly, and immediately fell backwards as if hit by a cannonball, and then fell on the solid ground.
The sky was still yellow with yellow sand, but at least the snow had returned. Seeing the dead trees around him dyed silver, Xia De knew that he was back in the canyon.
The aura of the fighting ring wizards not far ahead reminded him of the current situation. Shade jumped up into a stream of light composed of red butterflies and soon arrived at the battlefield in the canyon.
The first thing Shade saw was the monster that escaped from the crack, with its skin peeled off.
It transformed its entire body into black liquid and became tens of meters tall. It crouched on all fours in the snowy canyon, with its back to the black building and its face toward the church camp at the canyon exit. It then opened its mouth and gushed out a surging liquid like a collapsing dam.
The liquid was not the same black color as its body, but just like what Shade had just seen, it was a turbid yellow mixed with mud and sand.
This place was not far from the black building, so the church did not arrange anyone to guard here. When the out-of-control liquid rushed to a place a hundred meters away from the camp like a rushing river in the canyon, the light of magic was lit in the camp.
First, a tornado of flames summoned by an unknown high-level warlock collided with the flood, but the turbid yellow water easily suppressed the flames. Then an ice storm appeared at the entrance of the canyon, but the extremely cold storm could not freeze the surging water.
The turbid yellow water contained the power from the apocalypse, and spells and magic had little effect on it. Fortunately, Megan and Audrey were also in the camp, and the power of cutting space reconnected the space in front of the rushing water, finally allowing the rushing yellow water to go to an unknown distance.
