After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 297 [Despair of the Abyss]!
"I can feel the power of ice... and rock in you..."

"This map... is real..."

"Can you tell me... the situation in the four major war zones...?"

The Lord of Gold, Bamogan, spoke in a staccato voice.

Ryan didn't care about this, but instead felt a little admiration in his heart.

Different from the other four main gods, the main god of gold, Bamogan, has been guarding the abyss passage alone for a thousand years.

Such loneliness is enough to completely destroy a person.

Even gods cannot bear such wear and tear.

Not to mention, for a thousand years, the Lord of Gold, Bamogan, had almost no free time.

All the powerful abyss monsters that break into this world through the cracks in the abyss passage will be killed by Him with all His strength.

Even Ryan admired such sacrifice and dedication.

After briefly explaining the situation in the four major war zones, the Lord of Gold, Bamogan, nodded silently: "That's... very good..."

"Dear... friend... I wonder why you are here..."

"If there's anything I can do to help you, just let me know..."

Hearing this, Ryan did not beat around the bush and said bluntly: "I want to explore the abyss passage."

“Too… dangerous…” The Lord of Gold, Bamogan, shook his head: “My friend… I know you are powerful… but the abyss… is far more terrifying than you can imagine…”

"The protection of the Heavenly Mother... the 'little fish' that slipped through the cracks... made it difficult for me to deal with them... If I enter the passage... the dangers I encounter... will be thousands of times greater than those outside..."

"I've thought it through. Don't worry, I have a backup plan. Even if I encounter a strong enemy, I can retreat safely." Ryan smiled.

"..." After a long silence, the Lord of Gold, Bamogan, lowered his head and said, "Since you have made up your mind... I will not say anything more... If you can't hold on... you can retreat as soon as possible..."

"But you must be careful... don't be eroded by the power of the abyss... otherwise... the seal will prevent you from returning..."

After saying these words, the Lord of Gold, Bamogan, moved aside to let Ryan pass.

"Thank you." Ryan nodded slightly and walked past the God of Gold, Bamogan.

Arriving in front of the huge abyss passage, Ryan stopped to watch.

At this distance, the veins that appear and disappear from time to time appear extremely clear.

But each thread is very thin, giving people the feeling of a stretched spring. It can still hold on now, but no one can say when it will completely break.

Once this world loses the protection of "Mother Heaven" and faces the erosion of the abyss, the end of it is obvious.

After observing carefully for a while, Ryan made a discovery.

The seal of the Mother of Heaven is a one-way seal.

It blocks the abyss monsters at the other end of the channel from entering this world, but it has almost no stopping power for non-abyss creatures that actively want to enter the abyss channel.

The specific principle is beyond Ryan's knowledge. If Freni were here, she might be able to understand it.

But for Ryan, just knowing that he can get in and out is enough.

"boom……"

There was a sound of someone falling behind him. It was Bamogan, the Lord of Gold.

Ryan raised his hand and waved, then stepped into the abyss passage without looking back.

The Lord of Gold, Bamogan, quietly watched Ryan's figure being gradually swallowed up, and inserted the dark gold sword in his hand into the ground in front of him: "My friend... If you are unfortunately corroded... I will give you the most decent way to leave..."

He closed his eyes, like a statue standing forever.

……

The feeling of penetrating the abyss passage is very wonderful.

How to describe it? It is like touching an elastic liquid film. When you first touch it, it will not break, but you need to continue to exert force to make your whole body pass through this film.

The sight changed, and what Ryan saw was a strange place.

In the distance, there is a dark red passage, into which several abyss monsters of various shapes squeeze in from time to time.

"interesting……"

Ryan's eyes showed interest.

The connection between the Abyss and the World of Gods is somewhat like overlapping and intersecting parts, forming a unique fusion area, where the Abyss and the World of Gods each have a channel of their own.

And because the world of gods was defeated, the gods could only retreat outside the fusion zone, making this place become part of the abyss.

Therefore, a large number of abyss demons live here.

Ryan's sudden arrival startled the abyss monsters in the fusion area and near the abyss passage.

For thousands of years, no living creature had ever dared to step into the abyss passage, so that the first moment these bloodthirsty creatures saw Ryan, they did not attack him, but suspected that they were hallucinating.

But soon, the life force belonging to "human beings" stimulated these abyss monsters to roar deafeningly and launched a wave-like siege on Ryan.

Seeing this, Ryan's eyes were calm.

Although there are many abyss monsters here, their strength is average, only at the demon general level (true god level).

When the abyss monsters reach the demon general level, they are no longer completely crazy, but have become rational.

When they reach the Demon King level, they are no different from normal humans.

Perhaps they also know that the seal of "Mother of Heaven" has not yet been released, and a blind attack is meaningless.

It would not be too late to wait until the seal collapses before launching a massive attack.

Therefore, there is no demon king level existence here.

"Chong-"

The sound of the great sword's blade cleansed the entire fusion area.

A circular silver sword energy swept past.

The eyes of the abyss monsters that attacked Ryan dimmed, and their bodies rushed forward under the influence of inertia, but they fell to the ground one after another before they took one or two steps.

Ryan walked towards the dark red abyss passage in the distance.

He didn't come here to clean up these miscellaneous soldiers.

Affected by the rich power of the abyss, the abyss monsters in the fusion zone became more violent.

Even though so many of their own kind died in front of them, they had no intention of retreating.

It’s a pity that in the face of a dimensional gap in strength, numbers have lost their meaning.

When these abyss monsters that came one after another entered the hundred meters around Ryan, they seemed to be hit by a spell of immobilization. Their bodies became stiff and then they fell down dead.

Without any obstruction, Ryan soon arrived a hundred meters ahead of the dark red abyss passage.

At this time, he stopped.

Because the dark red abyss passage was distorted violently, and a hideous and huge figure emitting a terrifying aura walked out of it.

It has large, winding horns similar to those of a bull, and behind it are a pair of black wings burning with flames. In its left hand it holds a flaming whip, and in its right hand it holds a great lava sword.

The pressure from the demon king level caused the surrounding abyss monsters to slow down and retreat in fear.

Ryan's eyes narrowed.

The aura of this Demon King of the Abyss is much stronger than the Demon Kings in the four major war zones.

As soon as I glanced over, the panel immediately gave a prompt.

——【Flame Demon】: A powerful demon that lives in the abyss. It has excellent melee combat ability and can control fire. It is a true superior demon race. Most of its adults can reach the level of Demon General, and the elite individuals among them can even reach the level of Demon King.

-

"Balrog?"

"Similar to the lava demon?"

Ryan's eyes showed a thoughtful look.

When the fire demon walked out of the dark red abyss passage, he immediately locked his eyes on Ryan.

Among the countless monsters in the abyss, Ryan's existence is as bright and dazzling as a lighthouse in the dark night.

Their eyes met, and the calm gaze met the red eyes burning with the fire of the abyss.

The next moment, the fire demon moved.

It seemed to appear in front of Ryan in an instant, leaving behind a red flame phantom that stretched to the starting point.

The lava sword slashed down heavily, as if the power of a volcanic eruption was condensed in one sword. Wherever the sword passed, the space made a continuous "cracking" sound.

However, it seems that because the space in the fusion zone is more solid, the space here is difficult to break.

Faced with this powerful blow, Ryan shook his head slightly.

From the power of this sword, he could judge that the combat capability of the fire demon in front of him had definitely reached the pinnacle of a nascent main god, and was probably only half a step away from becoming a senior main god.

Although this sword was powerful, in Ryan's eyes, it was full of flaws.

Silver light exploded, and before the Flame Demon could react, the sword in his hand had already flown out.

Its red pupils suddenly shrank, and it withdrew without hesitation. However, since it was already here, wouldn't it seem that Ryan had no hospitality skills if he just let it leave?

The silver sword light, as bright as the moon, came from behind but arrived first and landed on the body of the Flame Demon in an instant.

At the moment of life and death, the fire demon let out a roar, and the heart in its chest shone brightly like a miniature sun.

The wave of flames that erupted from the inside out caused the sword's forward speed to slow down slightly, but it still cut through the wave of flames and swept past the Flame Demon.

"boom!"

Like a torch that suddenly ignites, the Fire Demon's body expanded and exploded, forming a super-giant torch that was several thousand meters high.

At the same time, a figure so weak that the magma on its body surface had dried up appeared at the edge of the dark red abyss passage.

It was the Flame Demon who had escaped death.

The burst of racial talent saved its life, but also caused its strength to plummet.

The brief confrontation had made it realize that the human who had entered the abyss passage was no less powerful than the powerful Lord God guarding outside the abyss passage.

Only the higher-level demon kings have a chance of dealing with this guy.

What it needs to do is to escape, run back, and tell the Supreme Demon King what happened here.

However, before the fire demon's legs stepped into the dark red abyss passage, it lowered its head in shock, piercing the rusty sword that pierced its heart.

"Goodbye, no, goodbye forever."

Ryan said softly, and then drew out his sword.

The Flame Demon's eyes were filled with resentment.

It was born into a high-ranking demon race, had the potential to grow into a high-ranking demon king, and had an infinitely bright future. How could it, how could it, just die here...

A deformed red soul flew out and landed in Ryan's palm.

He didn't look at it any further and just put it away.

Now, he has a total of 5 demon king-level souls in his hands, which are excellent whether they are used to refine them into main artifacts in the furnace in the future, or directly crushed to upgrade the level.

Looking at the dark red abyss passage just ahead, Ryan walked towards it without hesitation.

The purpose of his trip was to feel the power of the ninth level, and he was willing to sacrifice himself for it.

However, before Ryan's leg touched the ground, a huge finger stretched out from the dark red abyss channel.

The surface of the finger was covered with uneven scales, which did not look beautiful, but the moment it appeared, everything seemed to fall into eternal stillness.

It is as if someone is looking at the person in the painting from outside the canvas. No matter how strong the person is or how hard he struggles, it is meaningless to the viewer - he is just an ant that can be crushed at will.

Seeing the finger about to fall on his forehead, Ryan sighed in his heart:

"Is this the power of the ninth level..."

"Sure enough, it's far beyond my reach..."

Ryan slowly closed his eyes.

As his fingers fell, he disappeared completely without a trace, like a character being erased from a canvas by an eraser.

After erasing Ryan, the finger paused in place.

If someone observes carefully, they will find a very fine silver mark on it.

Even though it only existed for a moment, it was enough to surprise the owner of the finger.

"What kind of power is that?"

From the depths of the abyss, whispers were heard, and then slowly fell silent.

No matter what kind of power that was, the owner of that power had been wiped out by it, and there was no point in thinking about it any further.

……

After the extreme feeling of falling, it suddenly floats up.

Ryan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the familiar cabin ceiling in front of him, his dazed gaze gradually focused.

"So, the power of the ninth level... As expected, it is completely not on the same level as the world power of the eighth level..."

"It's hard to feel the source of this power if you try it so hastily. I can try it again next time..."

"Also, even at the ninth level, it seems that I am not immune to the power of the sword of [transcendence] to slash the true spirit. However, I have not yet truly achieved [transcendence], and my own strength is too weak to harm the owner of that finger..."

After experiencing the power of the ninth level himself, Ryan developed a genuine admiration for the Mother of Heaven in the world of gods.

His strength is not as good as that of Heavenly Father, but he is willing to pay a huge price to seal the abyss passage and prevent those ninth-level abyss monsters from coming.

Shaking his head, Ryan stretched and walked out of the room.

The fresh sea breeze blows towards you, and at the junction of the sea and the sky in the distance, the rising sun radiates billions of rays of light.

Ryan spent a lot of time on this trip to the world of gods, so much so that he got up later than usual.

It's time.

The door not far away opened.

Freni and Cecilia came out of the room one after another.

The sea breeze blew the witch's hair beside her ears, causing the fluffy witch hat on her head to swing.

Furenie reached out and pressed both sides of the hat brim, and smiled faintly at Ryan: "Good morning, Mr. Ryan~"

"Good morning, Captain. And, Miss Cecilia." Ryan also laughed.

"We're almost there." Furenee looked into the distance, at the end of her sight, at the vague outline of the island: "I can feel that there is a heritage site of a great witch there."

"I just don't know what kind of witch she controls..."
