Arcane Journey

An alternate dimension in the Underdark?

After hearing what little Furu said, Brian couldn't sit still for a moment. He didn't expect that this unfathomable little guy knew all this obscure taboo knowledge. What he didn't expect was that the incarnation of the demon prince Demogorgon actually escaped to such a scary place.

But if you think about it carefully, you can figure it out.

For Demogorgon, this is indeed a perfect place.

Because every dimensional space that appears in the Underdark is extremely strange, full of distorted dimensions and uncontrolled magical energy.

Here, time and space intertwine and change, and those who enter often lose their way and feel the fear that seems to be tearing at their souls like invisible fingers.

Not only that, there are also various terrible creatures inside, such as invisible shadows, twisted souls, etc. They feed on fear and wander in this haze.

Legend has it that they will only appear when one's mind is completely dark, and use eerie whispers to lure the lost into an even deeper place of no return.

In addition, there are forgotten forbidden magics and curses hidden here, which, once touched, may awaken the terrible existence sleeping in the depths.

After all, although the 'God Above Gods' Io achieved a glorious victory in the epic battle with the God of Wilderness, he was ultimately unable to completely eradicate these ancient and terrifying existences.

Among the defeated wild gods, some escaped into the deepest rifts in the multiverse, like falling into the dark shadow of eternal nothingness, while others hid in the underground world, lying dormant silently, like a nightmare forgotten by time.

Because of this, Brian always had doubts.

This strange place called the Underdark has an unusual atmosphere in its formation and existence.

If we have to trace it back to ancient times, perhaps the birth of this dark abyss is the product of the interweaving of the remaining will and power of some wild gods.

Although these terrifying beings are no longer able to stir up trouble, they still leave their marks in some secret way in the corners of the world.

Add to that the strange energy of "earth radiation" that permeates deep in the Underdark.

It penetrated into every inch of space like an invisible poisonous fog, causing all the other-dimensional areas opened up here to fall into chaos and distortion.

The laws are out of balance, time and space are disordered, and even consciousness can be eroded inadvertently.

Over time, this area became a taboo among taboos and a source of fear.

The powerful people who once tried to explore the mystery either disappeared without a trace, or returned with crazy eyes, muttering incomprehensible ancient languages.

Brian didn't expect that he would actually be able to learn about the other-dimensional space in the Underdark from other people. What was even more unexpected to him was that this came from the mouth of a Furu.

"It seems that you also know a thing or two about the alternate dimension. If so, I won't bother to talk to you any more." Furu's soft body, like a cloud of cotton wool, twisted gently, and its eight small tentacles floated lightly in the air, like water plants swaying with the waves. The two crystal clear little eyes on the tentacles on its head blinked, flashing a bit of cunning and complacent light, and its tone was a little playful and a little condescending.

"To tell you the truth, our Furu clan actually fell out of the alternate dimension of the Underdark due to various bizarre accidents and incredible coincidences."

It paused, as if waiting for Brian's shocked expression, but seeing that he looked calm, it muttered somewhat unwillingly: "Humph, you are really not surprised enough."

Then, it used one of its tentacles to gently pat its jelly-like soft, translucent body. Its eyes lit up with pride, and its tone suddenly became higher: "And I - as the smartest, wisest, most knowledgeable, greatest and most selfless being in the entire Furu clan, I am naturally the strongest!"

As it spoke, it slowly turned its body, showing off its perfect form. It looked so smug that it seemed as if even the air was filled with its confidence.

"And being the strongest means..." It deliberately dragged out the tone to whet the appetite, "It means that I am the only one who knows how to open the door to the other dimension~"

As Furu spoke, a visible ripple of psychic power quietly spread, and the air became slightly distorted by this energy.

Brian looked at this seemingly funny but mysterious life form in front of him, and for the first time, he felt a sense of awe in his heart.

Perhaps, this seemingly naughty little guy is really the strongest furu as it says, and holds a secret that is enough to subvert cognition.

So, after patiently listening to the other party's lengthy explanation, Brian narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke in a lukewarm tone: "Since you are the greatest existence in the entire Furu clan, your words will naturally count. Look, I have already given you all the rewards you needed, and you are very satisfied. So now, isn't it time to fulfill your promise?"

After Brian finished speaking, the soft figure floating in the air twisted gently, like a cloud blown by the wind, or like ripples on the water.

Furu's translucent body glowed faintly in the dim light, like a gauze floating lightly in the morning light.

It swayed its body with a smile, looking at Brian with interest, with a sly smile on the corner of its mouth, just like a child who had just eaten honey.

"Of course, they will definitely keep their promise!"

Furu's voice was a little playful and proud. "The reason I said so much is to make you put away your contempt and truly understand how great I am!"

"Since you already understand, I'm sure I'm satisfied, so I don't want to waste any more time talking to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Furu suddenly spread out all its tentacles, and it looked like its hair had exploded.

Then, circles of energy fluctuations like water waves suddenly appeared around its translucent body, and the air seemed to be injected with an invisible force, and a low and mysterious hum could be heard faintly.

Then, a deep space crack slowly emerged, like an obsidian flower quietly blooming in the night, emitting a strange light that was heart-pounding yet extremely attractive.

"Now, watch carefully—" Furu's voice echoed in this space, with a trace of unquestionable solemnity, "I will open a passage to another dimension for you!" (End of this chapter)
