Eternal Punishment Dragon in Prison

Chapter 148 Distant Country
In a dark, chaotic void.

Everything seemed so quiet.

There was only a figure that was as weathered as a mummy and in ragged clothes suspended in it.

Opposite him was a huge collection of eyes and mouths with a diameter of ten meters that expanded and floated in the air.

This pulsating ball of gray-black flesh.

It seems that there are countless creatures imprisoned in it, constantly hitting the outer wall of the meat ball to escape.

Hundreds of eyes and mouths of different shapes stir around the sphere like the moon around the planet, and the center of the sphere is dark and difficult to see clearly.

Its surface has no distinction between up and down, and there are no special organs to indicate the position of front, back, left, and right.

The eyes and mouths danced, tumbled, and spun around each other endlessly.

The eyes kept flashing, exuding a frightening light.

The mouth was drooling, emitting silent screams, and the silent and terrifying prayers were constantly chanted and passed into the soul of the mummy-like figure.

"It's so noisy!"

The legendary Lich Canstat said impatiently.

It's a pity that in this quiet area.

Ordinary words cannot come out.

Even when Canstat opened his mouth, there was no sound.

Only the ability of the Ball of Rumblings can echo in this space and even penetrate people's hearts.

The terrible prayer seems to be sung in an ancient, long-forgotten language, making people feel boundless fear.

It is also like a spell that opens the door to another world, allowing people to peek into those unknown and frightening secrets.

None of the above are metaphors.

And in a way that's true.

As the common ancestor of the legendary beholders and gnawers, the Rumblings also come from a distant country.

This realm lies outside the great ring of the multiverse, at the edge of reason.

Where time and space meet.

It is a unique and independent universe.

The laws of physics and magic there are completely different from those of this multiverse.

Even the mathematical laws are different.

Ordinary creatures in the multiverse simply cannot understand that world, even travelers who are lucky enough to have been there.

Even if you can return to this world again.

He was also almost crazy, unable to tell what he saw and heard.

Even souls and brains can be distorted.

Become an answer that cannot be deciphered.

This is a terrifying place beyond the constraints of common sense, a distant country.

It is also the origin of all the aberrations in the legend.

Canstat knew that these aberrations had actually weakened when they came to the multiverse, and to some extent they had adapted to the laws of this multiverse. .

Like a babbling ball in its distant country.

It's absolutely terrifying that it doesn't exist yet.

Like a legendary spellcaster, he is a powerful person second only to the gods.

When Naihe came to this universe, it lost the magic unique to that area in the distant country.

Just some pure instinct remains.

In fact, those laws that are incomprehensible and incomprehensible are all relative.

The aberrations of the distant lands also cannot understand the multiverse that Canstatt lives in.

That's why they weaken.

However, in this strange space, the ability of the Rumbling Ball has been strengthened.

On the contrary, Lich Canstat's spellcasting ability has been weakened.

Not only the effect of the spell has been weakened.

And the spell also created an unstable situation.

Sometimes the spells cast not only fail, but also cause other consequences.

It will even cause damage to the master of the spell, Canstat.

Legendary spells are no exception.

This strange phenomenon is similar to those areas of wild magic in the multiverse, but even more outrageous.

This is one of the reasons why a mere ball of whispering can confront the level 36 mage Canstat.

In other words, this ball of gibbering can not only make annoying sounds.

Other mobility abilities were temporarily sealed by Kanstatt.

"It's strange that the abilities of those legendary manifesters here have not been weakened, and have even been strengthened."

"But what's even stranger is that they didn't attack us directly, but used Aragami's fragments to lure us into a trap."

This is what Kanstatt is puzzled about.

It stands to reason that those legendary manifesters are well preserved and even stronger.

Even if his level is not as good as Canstat's, he can still defeat him.

There is a chance of killing him.

Although killing legendary casters is not very useful.

But letting an intruder stay on his own territory is not a wise move.

hum!
A vibration originating from the spiritual level woke up Canstat who was deep in thought.

I saw three light groups appearing in the empty space in the distance.

The psionic aura on these three light groups is extremely powerful.

Far from being able to compare with those weak bodyless people in Elton's world.

"What do you three want to do here?"

Kanstatt used telepathy to communicate with three legendary bodiless ones.

However, what he got was the same silence as before.

They looked at Kanstatt and the Whispering Ball temporarily sealed by Kanstatt from a distance.

It's like a tourist visiting a zoo.

Canstatt wasn't annoyed either, watching the disembodied beings as they watched them.

Observe the factors why they can maintain their strength in this area.

"Is it really like a legend?"

"Does the power of the mind come from a distant land?"

"In other words, the power of the soul is radiated by the power of a distant country."

The soul should originally refer to the heart of a living being.

It is an illusory existence.

However, it is this illusory power that actually produces extremely powerful power.

Powerful enough to turn back time.

According to Aboleth, gods can even be born.

If it is Murphy, he can even give out the idea that the souls of all living beings can serve as anchors in history and as a way to immortality in the past and future.

But who first used the mind?
Naturally, it comes from the aboleths in a distant land.

They believe that they are beings born far earlier than the gods.

Even some scholars claim that the so-called creator of the Aboleth, Paiscaessis, is just a medium-level god who lives in the hell of Baator.

It is said that gods are eternal.

And the ancient evil things transcend eternity, which is the joke within the joke.

The so-called long-lasting memories of the aboleth are fabricated to deceive people, or they are exaggerated by humanoid creatures who cannot fully understand the thoughts of strange creatures.

But do these scholars really understand the aberrations and the differences between the multiverse and the distant realms?
Really need to understand.

They wouldn't be so arrogant.

As a level 36 mage Kanstat, he naturally knew more than those arrogant scholars.

If the aboleth represents the first and earliest users of psychic powers, bringing the power of distant realms to the beginning of this universe.

Then the mind flayers are the last of the psionic users.

Bringing the power of distant realms to the end of the universe.

The beginning and the end are like the front and back of a book.

In the middle is the history of the multiverse.

This is probably also the secret of why psychic powers can reverse time.

Although as a legendary spellcaster, Canstatt can simulate psionic power to a certain extent.

Just like legendary manifesters are able to imitate spells psionically.

But these are limited to legends and below.

For abilities above legendary.

Canstat was also helpless.

And this kind of poor imitation is even more ridiculous when faced with a legendary level bodyless person.

But Canstatt still has a way.

That is to transform into an aberration.

That's right, it is transformed into a strange monster.

Since you can't change the environment, then adapt to the environment.

The only thing that worries Canstat is that the thinking mode of aberrations is different from that of normal creatures.

If it's in the outside world, it's deformed.

The sequelae are easily eliminated.

But in this strange space.

If it really deforms, it might leave behind the kind of aftereffects that come back from a distant country.

This is very bad.

But in the end Kanstatt still decided to perform the transformation.

the reason is simple.

That's because he is a lich.

Perhaps in the eyes of some knowledgeable mortals, the Lich has many fatal weaknesses.

Use this method to achieve immortality.

It's just stupid behavior.

But just like the ancestor vampire has weaknesses, it doesn't affect his strength.

These weaknesses of the Lich are not worth mentioning at the level of legendary spellcasters.

What's more important is the nature of the lich as an undead creature.

The society of undead creatures is generally called the immortal society.

Of course, there is a difference between this kind of immortality and the immortality of epic destiny.

To be precise, it should be called eternal life.

And the way to immortality is simple.

Naturally, undead creatures are inherently corrupt, so they will not die, as is the nonsense of mortal perceptions.

The real reason is that negative energy is the opposite of positive energy, which represents the increase in entropy.

It is real natural reverse entropy.

Therefore, undead creatures naturally live forever.Liches are undead creatures that are actively transformed from living creatures.

For spellcasters who have no other means of immortality.

Nature is what they seek and desire.

But for those legendary spellcasters who are willing to live forever, they have another purpose.

No one is sure how the first lich was born.

According to scholars' research, it may be that some mages, while longing for immortality, also hope to retain their powerful spellcasting abilities.

Therefore, the ritual of transforming the lich was invented through superb necromancy skills.

But only a legendary lich at Kanstatt's level can understand that the so-called lich is actually a simulation of the state of a god.

It is said that in the process of a mortal becoming a god, his physical body will be burned by the fire of the astral world, and all the elements belonging to the mortal will be completely destroyed.

Not a single wreck will be left.

The remaining spirit will absorb the matter of the astral world and construct a powerful body that belongs exclusively to the gods.

Just like the avatar created by [Astral Projection] is based on the second half of this phenomenon to imitate.

The Lich Transformation Rite is the first half of this phenomenon.

Decaying the body, retaining that powerful spirit.

to produce some degree of transformation.

Of course, this is just a pursuit.

Everyone knows the actual situation, whether the spirit is strong or not is another matter.

Most lichs are in the process of transformation.

Both are imperfect, and both consciousness and mind will be corroded by negative energy.

Even kindness in life can turn into evil.

However, the lich transformation ritual is inherently evil.

No good being would do it either.

But Canstat was different. His lich transformation ritual was perfect, and he even improved his spellcasting level during his transformation into a lich.

Also achieved some kind of spiritual transformation.

This transformation made his already strong will even more determined.

He is completely sure that he will not transform into monsters due to the local environment.

cause irreversible consequences.

However, just when Canstat was about to take action, he suddenly received a message from his body.

"what!"

"That Murphy actually found my identity?"

……

"Ottilia, what do I want to do?"

"It's very simple, I just came to find someone by the way."

Murphy suddenly looked up at the sky and saw that the sky of this twenty-kilometer-diameter planet began to change.

In the calm sky, a crack suddenly appeared, like the sky falling apart, and an irresistible suction force gushing out from the depths of the crack.

The surrounding clouds began to gather, forming a huge vortex.

Waves of strong winds blew wildly, sweeping dust, debris, trees and houses on the ground deep into the whirlpool.

"father!"

Otilia shouted.

Murphy shook his head: "It's so fancy, it can appear with just a teleportation spell, and it also involves changes in the celestial phenomena."

As soon as he finished speaking, powerful magical energy surged out of him.

All strangeness was instantly isolated.

The surrounding wind began to calm down.

It was as if there was an invisible membrane blocking the suction of the vortex.

Stab it!

Lightning bolts fell from the center of the vortex.

Along with the sound of lightning and thunder, a gray-brown twisted figure began to appear.

He looks like a constantly rotating cloud, with only eyes and a mouth made of a ball of gas visible.

But his eyes were full of indifference, without any emotion that belonged to a living being.

"Murphy, why are you looking for me here?"

A dull sound fell from the sky, roaring like thunder and lightning.

Murphy said with great interest, "Where's your avatar? A regional patron saint appears, but it's not polite to me."

"Humph!"

"As a legendary being, it's impossible for you not to see the secret mark I left on Hilde."

"Yet you stepped in anyway."

"For such offenders."

"Do I welcome your arrival?"

The wind element giant, like the gathering of wind and clouds, is just a regional guardian god placed by a legendary spell.

Not at all any incarnation of the legendary spellcaster.

Yet even this is the patron saint of the region.

It also has great power.

While he was speaking, an endless storm began to fall.

The extremely fast wind was like the sharpest blade, cutting the earth.

In the blink of an eye, the entire planet was torn into pieces by the storm.

The souls of the residents living above were ready to flow into the River Styx before they even reacted.

However, at this time.

A spell suddenly appeared, imprisoning these souls who were about to flow to the Styx along the laws of the multiverse.

They gathered into a group and flew towards where Murphy was.

Under Murphy's protection, the tavern did not suffer any damage.

However, only the land here was not damaged.

So this place is like an island suspended in Casserly.

Standing alone in the void.

Become a place to temporarily store souls.

"what?"

"How dare you cut off Hu's soul?"

"Aren't you afraid of being blamed by the King of Gloom?"

The soul belongs to the realm of the gods. It would be okay if only some souls were imprisoned.

If the passage of the soul is restricted on a large scale.

It will definitely attract the attention of the gods.

Especially since there is a powerful god of death in Kaserli.

Murphy said lightly: "Aren't you also making meaningless actions? What's the use of destroying this planet?"

"Can it hurt me?"

The wind elemental giant sneered: "I'm just in a bad mood and destroying an ant nest. Are you going to be angry about this?"

Those imprisoned in Casserly are not good people themselves.

Like Hilde.

It is just because of the birth of order and the enactment of law.

That's why there is distinction between good and evil.

But not to mention 100%, 90.00% of the beings sent in are evil.

Otilia asked Murphy: "Dad, who is he?"

Priestilon and Hilde on the side were also curious.

In particular, Hilde's face changed when he heard that the wind elemental giant had left a secret imprint on his body.

Something seems to have come to mind.

Murphy smiled and said: "He is just a weakling who covets the power of the ancestor vampire."

"You don't think Hilde has any powerful ancestors, do you?"

"Wrong, she is the only one in her family now."

"The only support is the giant chaotic skeleton."

"And the reason why we haven't encountered any trouble in these hundreds of years is because of the weak man above."

boom!
The sound of thunder comes again.

"Weak, haha, it's really funny. This is the first time I've seen someone call me weak since I reached the top of the legend."

"You and I are both legends, and we can't do anything to each other."

"Now that you ruined my plan."

"Then don't blame me for being rude."

"Murphy, whatever you want to do in the future, I will stop you."

The wind elemental giant sneered.

Legendary casters are like nuclear balance, hello, me, everyone.

Give each other face when going out.

It is clear.

In the eyes of the wind elemental giant, Murphy is the kind of person who doesn't follow the rules.

He has already left a secret imprint to remind him, and even intervened in it.

This is disrespect to him.

Otilia asked in confusion: "Dad, what did you do to make him angry? I feel like you didn't do anything?"

Murphy said lightly: "You have to ask him, I also feel that I didn't do anything."

"However, I don't think you are a strong person."

hum!
Powerful magical energy surged, and a large hand with a diameter of a hundred meters protruded from the center of the vortex and grabbed the wind element giant in the air.

The wind elemental giant wanted to resist.

However, the invisible force field imprisoned him, unable to use any means, and he was directly caught in the palm of the giant hand.

"Bang!" was snuffed out alive.

After all, the wind elemental giant is not even an incarnation.

Strength is limited.

It's just a powerful legendary creature.

"Okay! Very good, Murphy, you have completely angered me, and I will teach you a lesson."

"Noisy!"

The big hand in the sky reached out again and grabbed into the air. Layers of magic power surrounded it, and a door to another world suddenly opened.

The big hand went deep into it, stretched it out, and dug it out.

Just grab a humanoid creature.

"A legendary spiritual master is so arrogant."

"You're pretending too much, do you really think you're a legendary spellcaster?"
