The fisherman druid is in another world

Chapter 792

Things will turn into their opposites when they reach their extremes; extreme yin gives rise to yang.

From a transcendental perspective, the first ray of light in the universe emerged from absolute darkness. The Big Bang theory of the singularity of the universe aligns well with this concept.

Of course, the universe may not necessarily have been born from a singularity explosion.

Many concepts are not about what the truth is, but about how you choose to interpret them.

Black Rob is willing to believe in 'light from darkness' because this logic is beneficial to him and can be used by him. It also aligns with his perspective on everything from the standpoint of 'interest'.

Of course, the final interpretation rests with the powerful, therefore the powerful prevail.

After all, in this world, right and wrong don't matter, but winning and losing do. Only the victor has the right to proclaim his own way of thinking, the so-called "way." The loser can say that even breathing is wrong, and you have to accept it.

So Black Robb knows very well that it doesn't matter whether he's using a main account or a secondary account, whether he's playing real-time strategy or role-playing, there's only one principle: it's best not to lose!
Just like now, to ensure this, Rune Steel Fortress was designed from the very beginning with the concept of 'light emerging from darkness'.

Now that the fortress is completed, it resonates with the solar power released from the volcanic island in a unique way. The solar power is continuously absorbed, forming numerous mysterious flows on the rune steel like earthworms moving. Then, the golden outer light curtain frame is born and begins to rapidly solidify into a crystalline state.

Once the complete crystal wall is formed, the brightness begins to decrease, turning dim along with the spectacular flowing light in the sky, eventually leaving only a layer of hazy glimmer.

Clearly, this pyramid also possesses natural harmony characteristics, adapting to the day and night cycle of this land-sea world. This alone demonstrates a technological concept that surpasses most adventure teams.

Black Rob controlled Estelle to stand on the spell platform, watching the outside world gradually darken through the imaging system, feeling the natural reduction in his field of vision, without moving.

He has completed the adjustments to the core of the dark power.

Once this step is completed, the core objective shifts from attracting light to applying extreme pressure. In short: everything that cannot withstand the test will ultimately be assimilated by darkness.

Through such a super-compression and erosion system, the power of the primordial sun will eventually be condensed.

The Primal Light—this is the most core and valuable part of the Sky Raven Clan's heritage.

Unless guided by special forces and means, it is usually hidden in its dazzling light, but now it is being continuously released and transformed along with the soaring pillar of light.

Black Robb knew that even if all the original light in the legacy were poured out, it would be difficult to have a significant impact on this dark world.

Otherwise, the God of Nature would have used his authority to squeeze this legacy dry more than ten thousand years ago. There would be no need for a group of alchemical-age superhumans to hold a treasure hunt now.

But from a less grand and overarching perspective, the original light still has great value.

For example, if he obtains a sufficient share, he can use the authority of Twilight to draw out the true authority of the God of Light, or he can be more cautious or more stable and continue to nurture it.

After all, darkness is powerful and attracts evil and wicked beings, presenting a period of resurgence. It's like a forest in the rainy season, which is already damp, and then a downpour begins. At this time, a campfire is finally lit, but people insist on putting it in the place with the most water, trying to use it to resist the moisture, dry the surrounding things, or even set the forest on fire. The result is predictable.

Black Rob prefers to store the fire as smoldering charcoal in an asbestos-lined, slightly ventilated container, and use it when conditions are right.

Of course, if one cannot survive the long, cold, and damp rainy season, this fire is meaningless.

After all, for selfish people, 'my existence' is the foundation of everything. If I am not here, what good is a world full of light and beauty?
So, as I said before, the right to interpret everything ultimately belongs to power, and it's best not to lose.

Black Rob's main attention was not on this matter at the moment; he was focusing on the latest analytical results of the extraordinary AI responsible for intelligence analysis.

Analysis suggests that the effects of the Celestial Raven's Relic have attracted the attention of the Chaotic Ladder, and the faction has organized a team to conduct an in-depth investigation.

This is clearly not good news.

Compared to the covetousness and lust aroused by the primordial light, Black Robo was more concerned about the fact that the underground races were being targeted by the Chaotic Staircase.

A series of detailed intelligence reports indicate that the Chaotic Ladder, which has been operating as it has been, is already in a predicament where everyone is doing their own thing and making progress is difficult. If it continues to endure, it would not be surprising if it were to fall apart one day.

However, if the underground races were discovered, the Chaotic Ladder might be able to extend its life through the external shift of contradictions. This would be quite disgusting for Black Robo.

Black Robb could even easily imagine how the Chaotic Staircase would play out, launching another plague and deliberately poisoning the area.

Then, using the experience gained on the surface, they reaped the benefits from the newly plagued underground city-states.

In theory, this would be much easier to deal with than the now deeply mutated evil hordes on the surface, and the rewards would be much greater.

This is equivalent to having a new, low-risk, and easily obtainable pie to share, which naturally alleviates internal conflicts.

Therefore, Black Robb wanted to organize a strong counterattack.

Although doing so might seem like a blatant attempt to conceal something, it could very well provoke the Chaotic Staircase, making it more interested in this exploration project.

But Black Rob really couldn't think of a better way.

Creating coincidences can easily backfire; direct confrontation is far better.

This made Chaotic Stairs truly feel the pinch, realizing just how high the cost of continuing to invest in this project would be.

Given their selfishness, in order to preserve their own controllable power, they would pass the buck to each other, deceive their superiors and subordinates, and before long, they might miss the treasure hunt. At that time, the exploration teams of various races underground would disperse, and even if the people of the Chaotic Ladder arrived at the Sky Raven Ruins, they would no longer associate the high quality and quantity of the 'dogs fighting over bones' with it.

Thus, a battle, arranged somewhat hastily, quickly unfolded.

Chaotic Ladder Alpha Wolf Squadron.

They are one of the more active field operations forces under the organization's headquarters.

It is also an honor unit that has achieved a relatively high number of mission accomplishments in recent years.

This time, they acted as the vanguard, exploring the source of the 'Radiance' phenomenon.

Behind the Chaotic Staircase are the gods, including the Elf King. From the perspective of a joint-stock company, the Elf King's share is not high, only a little over ten percent. The majority belongs to the gods. If the fallen gods are also included, then they have taken more than eighty percent.

The remaining percentage is awarded to the "big dogs," or to put it more elegantly, to outstanding employees and partners.

Specifically, these large dogs naturally belong to the factions among the various forces in the original alchemy world that had the highest utilization value.

As for those factions closely bound to the gods and fallen gods, they are themselves the embodiment of the gods' power and are naturally included in the proportion of the gods' power.

In summary, the divine consciousness that split off from the original God of Light is more sensitive to 'Radiance', which can condense the power of the original laws of light.

Even though the light energy emitted by the volcanic islands in the sea did not spill over onto the surface.

However, since it exists as a meteorological phenomenon for a long time, it affects the natural operation of this world. Even after the God of Light splits, he is still a light-sensitive being and will naturally have a kind of spiritual perception similar to a sudden impulse.

This is the origin of the project. Soon after, the project was initiated, and the departure time of the vanguard exploration team was not much later than when Black Rob, playing the Moon Elf, started the sea crossing operation.

However, due to the thick earth separating them, the pioneering reconnaissance team was much less efficient.

Even so, by now, some traces have been found.

Specifically, it is a city ruin.

Its history can be traced back to the Kuroshio Current event five thousand years ago, or even earlier.

As a city during the era of the Church of Gods, this city was filled with a fairly typical religious atmosphere.

Of course, that's a more respectable way of putting it. To put it bluntly, church buildings were built into magnificent pyramids, while residential houses were mostly shacks, creating a stark contrast.

Therefore, when such a city collapsed and was buried underground during the Black Tide Incident, amidst the powerful clash of magic, there was no need to look at the Democratic District; it had long since turned to dust.

However, the church buildings have been well preserved for many reasons.

The latest information obtained by the pioneering exploration team is that a church, suspected to be one, is emitting a radiant light, much like an old circuit that has been turned on again after being switched on.

This is naturally caused by the rising power of the sun penetrating upwards.

Therefore, it is indeed the key to finding the source of light.

However, Black Rob has already taken the lead and set up a test...

The magical explosion tore through the air.

When the exploration team members entered the circular hall, they saw Black Robb, dressed as a high-ranking evil spirit, hovering in the air beneath the dome.

High-level evil beings are naturally born from the advancement of special infected individuals.

If they can't find food, they will eat each other.

This trend has become very clear now, nearly three years after the plague.

Although the result is not the usual 1 eats 1 equal to or greater than 2, there are always some exceptions. The Chaotic Ladder calls it King-level to distinguish it from the regular Leader-level evil, while the Black Robo lineage calls it Alpha-level.

Creating an Alpha-level unit manually is quite difficult. The cost of creating a rare and extraordinary unit is at least 40% higher than creating a Legendary unit. This is mainly because the resources required are highly specialized, and some rare and extraordinary resources cannot be substituted. If they are not available, they must be obtained through brute force, which naturally increases the cost.

If there's any advantage, it's that it allows direct use of the processed fel energy without converting it into other supernatural powers. This reduces the costs and waste associated with conversion.

At this very moment, Hassa, a fel mage and one of the Reapers, had his pale hair whipping wildly in the torrent of fel energy. Countless runes shimmered and flickered on his blue-purple robes. Beneath his feet, a massive magic circle carved into the obsidian floor greedily devoured the extraordinary energy emanating from the depths of the earth.

"Blasphemy!" one of the exploration team members couldn't help but roar in anger.

This massive magic circle was modified from the church's divine rune magic circle.

From the perspective of extraordinary technological systems, this criticism is absolutely a case of the crow laughing at the pig.

If the true nature of the Church of the Gods were not generally dark, Black Robb would not have been able to make good use of the magic array in the church ruins.

Only when they share the same dark foundation can the Fel Flower bloom more beautifully.

As for what to extract, it is mainly the power of the sun.

As I've said before, there's a glimmer of yang in the eyes of the Yin fish. All the consciousnesses on the dark side can only keep their consciousness clear if they obtain enough power of order and power of light. Otherwise, they will be unable to resist the effects of negative energy corruption, which can lead to confusion or madness.

Self-awareness, by its very nature, highlights selfishness, and naturally it is unwilling to be a puppet of any kind of supernatural power, or rather, a manifestation of that power.

What self-awareness desires most is to have all the benefits and get rid of all the drawbacks.

This creates a very fundamental contradiction. Therefore, for the consciousness on the dark side, seeking to absorb the power of order and the power of light is an almost instinctive behavior.

This explains why a high-level evil spirit appears in this place, and why this high-level evil spirit has the characteristics of a mage, rather than a warlock.

Of course, the reasons seem somewhat far-fetched and forced. In addition, these days, high-level evil spirits rarely act alone, but instead command a large number of various evil spirits.

However, it's difficult for Black Robo to perfectly arrange the scenes, props, and extras in a short period of time; he can only make do.

"Scatter!" Paladin Roland shouted as he raised his shield to activate divine power and block a ray of fel energy. His voice was somewhat weak amidst the roaring energy collisions.

Hassa, on the other hand, went all out to show off, coldly ignoring the few extraordinary individuals who had entered, focusing mainly on absorbing the power of the sun.

Seeing that the evil energy ray had no effect, he merely raised his left hand slightly lazily.

Instantly, twelve evil ice javelins condensed above his head, each wreathed in turquoise mist.

It must be said that this move was quite bizarre. After all, it's relatively easy to interpret the properties of fel energy as fire, but to create a frost effect is extremely rare.

The members of the exploration team are highly professional and naturally aware of Kazakhstan's tactic, demonstrating a profound level of expertise. They deserve to be dealt with with utmost caution.

With a light tap of his left hand, Hassa's fel javelin tore through the air, emitting a deathly shriek that filled half the hall.

"For glory!" Roland bravely stepped forward again, his Divine Shield shining brightly like the rising sun.

Black Rob sneered inwardly: "You really think the power of light you wield is pure and sacred? Imposters!"

The ice spear struck the light barrier, shattering into countless ice crystals, but the immense impact still forced Hassa to kneel on the ground, his shield covered in a layer of turquoise ice.

Meanwhile, on Roland's side, Ranger Lina weaved through ice spears and a rain of fel energy, her figure blurring into a blur, arrows already nocked on her bowstring.

She tried to get a good shooting angle and then fired a tricky shot.

But Kazakhstan glanced at him with a disdainful look, a smirk playing on his lips, and uttered, "Insect!"

Then he snapped his fingers.

Just as Lina stood still, preparing to shoot an arrow, the shadow beneath her feet came to life, transforming into viscous black asphalt that climbed upwards and instantly froze into an indestructible fel crystal, locking her feet firmly in place.

Lina, however, still tried to shoot an arrow.

The result was nothing to be surprised about. It collided with the translucent fel energy deflection field a foot away from Hassa's cheek and was helplessly deflected and fell.

"Elements, heed my command." Amara's voice was calm, yet at that moment it evoked a natural response that drowned out the clamor of the entire battlefield.

As a mage, she calmly let her teammates shield her from the threat from behind Roland, allowing her to leisurely take out a bottle of alchemical potion, drink it, and then activate her spell.

She held her hands together loosely, and a small, blazing white sun was instantly born in her palms—[Blazing Sun Fireball].

Next, there was no chanting, no gestures, only pure energy being forcibly shaped into a destructive form by will.

The fireball wasn't thrown; instead, it seemed to come alive, transforming into a straight white torrent that shot towards Hassa.

Black Robor is having a slight, dull ache in his testicles.

These two are all playing the role of being virtuous, glorious, and righteous, which is truly full of mockery.

If even one of the other party had connections to the Brotherhood of the Sunstriders, he wouldn't have given it a second thought. But now, they've truly mastered the art of turning black into white.

This also reminded him that role-playing is very important, and he shouldn't break character.

Then Kassa opened his mouth, stretched out his tongue, forked at the front, and from there shot out a burst of green light.

The green light met Amara's blazing fireball, engulfing it completely, and then transformed into a long, luminous tongue that lunged at the trapped ranger Lina.

Meanwhile, the scout warrior, Gronn, jumped out at the opportune moment.

"May the mountains protect you!" he roared, standing in front of Lina, his two runic axe blades blazing with energy, attempting to cleave through the destructive attack.

'boom! ’

The deafening explosion shook the entire hall. Blinding demonic light engulfed everything.

Gronn was blasted away and slammed heavily against the wall. His breastplate melted, emitting black smoke.

Lina adjusted her skeletal muscles and, at the last moment, with a motion like removing a sock, pulled her legs out of her greaves and shoes, and then flew backward.

However, it was still thrown over by the shockwave of the explosion, and the fel energy on its leather armor hissed and crackled.

It turns out that the previous devouring of the blazing fireball by the evil energy was a disguise; it was not actually digested, but rather a delay in the collision effect of the two extreme energies.

The explosion upon impact is so powerful that it's more than the sum of its parts (1+1>2).

At that moment, Eldrin, the mage playing the support role in the reconnaissance team, finally completed his silent chant. "In the name of holiness, disintegrate!" A green disintegration ray shot towards Hassa.

Hassa gave a mocking laugh. Without dodging or avoiding, he spread his left hand and precisely caught the deadly green ray.

The energy struggled and groaned between his fingers, then was crumpled into a ball like a docile pet and thrown back.

"Back to you!"

Eldrin's expression changed drastically, and he waved his hands repeatedly, instantly erecting multiple layers of mage armor.

The poisonous green fel energy sphere struck the shield, but instead of exploding, it silently eroded and melted through multiple layers of the shield. It was only when the second to last layer lost its power that it could no longer maintain its state and exploded with a deep sound. After shattering the remaining two layers of the shield, it shoved Eldrin several meters away before he fell to the ground, blood seeping from his nostrils and ears.

"It seems you are not ordinary people." Hassa landed slowly on the ground, his robes fluttering even without wind.

"I won't give you the chance to pester me and trigger unforeseen changes."

As he spoke, he opened his arms, and the supernatural power in the entire circular hall began to boil and wail.

Hundreds of fel missiles appeared in the air; they were no longer ordinary energy missiles, but each one was burning with different elemental radiance.

Flames, ice, lightning, and strong acids. They hummed like a swarm of alarmed elemental bees, sending chills down your spine.

With the power of fel and the elemental forces, Hassa at this moment stripped Amara of the connection she had established with the nature of this place when she previously 'commanded the elements'.

“Now,” Hassa rambled on like a typical villainous boss who died from talking too much, the brilliance of fel energy in his eyes overwhelming, completely engulfing the whites of his eyes and pupils, leaving only pure energy burning, “witness the blooming of this destructive power.”

Hundreds of mixed missiles rained down like a storm, creating area coverage. Each member of the reconnaissance team received at least two dozen, with one or two large missiles providing ample sustenance.

The five members of the exploration team dared not confront the enemy head-on, and had no choice but to activate their life-saving measures, teleporting out of the circular hall and appearing at the anchor point they had previously set up in the temporary safe zone.

Clearly, Black Robb changed the script on the spot based on the actual situation.

Otherwise, even without using the obsidian magic circle to create a caged deathmatch, they wouldn't have made such a basic mistake as not even using a dimensional anchor, allowing the entire exploration team to retreat calmly.

He planned to have the reconnaissance team call for reinforcements, thereby spreading the message that 'a crucial clue point has been preemptively occupied by a lucky high-level evil spirit.'

In addition, it also strengthens character development.

After all, this is a 'spirited' evil creature, not a superhuman who has received systematic professional training. Its combat ability mainly comes from instinct and experience, or it can gain some relevant knowledge by digging into its bloodline, but it is by no means all-rounded and without any weaknesses.

Therefore, it's normal to have a weakness in not knowing how to limit the enemy's movement ability.
