Chapter 798

When the tide goes out, it's clear who's swimming naked.

Black Rob believes that now is the time when the tide of the extraordinary recedes into the dark world.

Whether it's shrimp, crabs, or deep-sea monsters, they can't hide anymore and are all showing their backsides.

From a certain perspective, this is a good thing.

This means that there are only so many people capable of causing major incidents, and taking them down is one less available.

But there were still some surprises, which made it hard to contain yourself.

The Demon Emperor's foreshadowing created the chaotic staircase.

Parus, refusing to comply obediently, organized the Night Gods' Gathering.

Now there's another being, seemingly a dark form of the god of nature, who has created a giant sea monster.

In his race against the Elf King to determine which timeline would be the primary timeline, he had far too many obstacles holding him back.

But conversely, fate always manages to arrange for him to meet it at the right time.

While he couldn't foresee the future, there was still a chance to mend his ways. Of course, this was accompanied by a series of unexpected slaps in the face, as punishment for his arrogance and lack of foresight.

So there's really nothing to complain about. Besides, complaining is just another form of incompetence. You should use that energy to think about how to solve the problem.

At this moment, the latest problems are still being presented as phenomena, and have not yet been fully exposed.

Despite the losses suffered by the Moon Elf camp, Black Robb remained calm, licking his wounds while waiting for the next show to begin.

It's worth mentioning that the Anglerfish was saved by Black Robb.

Black Rob is not a person overflowing with love.

But if it's just something convenient, or something to make use of waste, he doesn't mind being a good person.

This rescue of the Anglerfish falls into the latter category.

The Anglerfish would not have survived. Putting aside everything else, the pressure of the deep sea alone would have been enough to crush and flatten it.

Although the Anglerfish also underwent a similar force field filling operation as the Moon Elf Camp, the two were completely incomparable in terms of technical level and final results.

Black Rob originally intended to respect the fate of others.

However, when he discovered that the original Flying Peak-style elevator platform could not be preserved in the vortex, he activated the water element energy pool at its center in advance and used it for other purposes.

The Moon Elf Camp has a complete defense system; simply adding layers of water elemental field cannot significantly improve its defense.

Therefore, the energy in the water element energy pool was transformed by Black Rob into a special bubble, which was then imbued into the Anglerfish.

What makes this bubble so amazing is that its structure resembles a hollow stainless steel sphere used for braising meat and adding spices. Its surface has a large number of pores. These pores can mitigate the impact of the rushing water to a certain extent through internal and external interaction, and can also trap the extraordinary force inside during the internal and external interaction of the water flow to replenish its own continuous consumption.

As for the Anglerfish, which was encased within it, the pressure and impact force were always kept at a relatively low level, which greatly enhanced its survivability.

Therefore, the Anglerfish became one of the very few survivors that returned to the surface immediately after the major event of the volcanic island sinking. It was also one of only three large ships that retained its operational capability.

The other two ships were saved using extraordinary forbidden spells that are a level above the legendary class.

The rest, even with very strong means of survival, ultimately survive as shipwreck survivors, either individually or in pairs or groups of two or three.

One of the blessings that the Anglerfish's survival brought to Black Rob was that it allowed him to discover clues about the Night God Society.

In the face of absolute crisis, people will instinctively choose to do everything they can to survive. In such a situation, some things cannot be hidden, such as technology.

Black Robb owes a debt of gratitude to the Night Gods members he encountered during the rampage of the monsters on the Chaotic Stairs, including a legendary-rank technical expert named Lemve, who ultimately escaped.

Although the extraordinary skills he displayed were inevitably influenced by the path of law he had chosen and carried a certain personal style, the extraordinary technical system he mastered belonged to the Night God Society.

Or rather, he mastered extraordinary skills from basic to advanced levels within the social organizational structure of the Night God Society.

With Blackrobo's authority in the field of extraordinary technology and the computing power of a large number of professional extraordinary AIs, it is naturally able to accurately extract the unique technical characteristics of the Night God Society.

Against this backdrop, when similar characteristics are displayed again in front of members of the Black Robb group, effects similar to network surveillance and sensitive word retrieval will be immediately triggered.

This is the case in this situation. The "eyes" that were secretly set up when the Anglerfish was being repaired discovered the anomaly, which led to this discovery.

It's worth mentioning that the owner of the Anglerfish was quite loyal. Perhaps it was because the Moon Elves, as outsiders, showed such loyalty that the owner, having tasted the benefits, was more willing to show the same loyalty and trust to strangers.

In short, the Anglerfish launched a rescue operation for the scattered survivors.

Although these extraordinary individuals can survive the raging waves for a time thanks to their remarkable abilities, it is not a long-term solution. Without a platform to rest and recuperate, it is only a matter of time before they perish in the ocean.

It was during the rescue operation that they encountered the other two surviving ships. This gave Blackrobo the opportunity to drive the pyramid fortress for further observation, which led to the discovery of the Night Gods' existence.

The Ibelin Shamans are a supernatural organization founded by minotaurs. They recruit shamans from various races, have no political agendas, are relatively loosely organized, believe in animism, and worship the earth, fire, water, and wind.

To be honest, Black Rob had never really connected such an organization with the Night God Society before.

Upon self-analysis, the reason is probably also due to prejudice that harms people.

In Black Rob's understanding, the core of the cohesion of organizations like the Night God Society lies in the belief in the Night God.

Such an organization is willing to give up everything except faith in exchange for achieving its goals.

Because faith is the key to such organizations' control of power.

In layman's terms: If you trust me, you'll have money, connections, someone to stand up for you if you're bullied, and someone to help you when you're in trouble...

Isn't it wonderful? Isn't it very appealing?

Correspondingly, primitive belief types like shamanism and druidism have even more diverse beliefs than the Dossensory tradition. It could even be said that their beliefs are not about deities, but rather about certain phenomena or concepts.

Such a view stands almost in opposition to monotheistic beliefs and is the most incompatible.

So Black Rob never imagined that this organization was actually the front man of the Night God Society.

It can only be said that he lacked understanding of the rise of the subterranean races in this world, substituting his own prejudices, conjectures, and assumptions for the true history of their rise, thus overlooking the possibility of certain categories. Fortunately, this misfortune turned into a blessing in disguise, and adjustments to related systems immediately began, from intelligence gathering to simulations and calculations by extraordinary AI…

Black Rob believes that once a target is identified and placed under the spotlight and magnifying glass, no secret organization can withstand scrutiny. After all, nothing in this world is absolutely perfect.

Compared to the unexpected discovery of clues about the Night God Society, the Deep Sea God's Curse triggered by the volcanic island's treasure was less important.

After all, if it is truly a divine abomination born from the dark side of the God of Nature possessing another body, then it would most likely treat all extraordinary forces, and even the hundreds of races underground, equally.

Given the current state of decay in the world's mainstream civilizations, Black Robo wouldn't be afraid of another destructive behemoth staging a violent demolition.

As the saying goes, "no destruction, no construction," the more thorough the destruction, the fewer hidden dangers there will be.

If the Deep Sea God's primary target for wreaking havoc is the Hundred Races of the Underworld, then Black Robo would be happy to see the vast amount of extraordinary resources that this world only possesses in the Underworld consumed in this large-scale massacre.

After all, the fewer extraordinary resources there are, the lower the possibility of triggering a new extraordinary event.

If the competition enters the realm of technological advancement, then Blackroboro is confident that he can use the forces he commands or supports to defeat all other races alone and achieve final victory.

Moreover, he never falls for moral blackmail; whether the underground tribes are innocent or not is never a question for him. Therefore, any talk of feeling deep remorse for allowing such widespread suffering is simply out of the question.

Of course, at least for now, the culprit behind the rise and fall of the volcanic island has not yet revealed its true identity, so instead of indulging in wild speculation, it is better to wait and see.

Black Robo can afford to wait, since he's multi-threaded and has plenty of projects to keep him busy.

However, the other forces involved in the treasure hunt did not have such patience.

Many forces were wiped out in the cataclysmic disaster, but a considerable number survived the most dangerous phase thanks to their advanced technology, effective response, and a bit of luck.

The reason it is considered dangerous is that in the face of the true power of heaven and earth, the strength of an individual seems too insignificant.

Putting aside everything else, the sheer quality alone determines that individuals, like grains of sand in a hurricane, can only be swept along by the tide and encounter various dangers.

Even if you are an alloy, under this all-around grinding effect, the sharp edges will be worn away, and you will become so smooth that you have no temper left.

In comparison, both the evil crows and the evil salamanders are tangible enemies that can be targeted and retaliated against, unlike large-scale natural disasters, which can only be endured and followed.

Now that the most dangerous phase has passed.

Just like surviving superhumans who have been holding their breath for a long time, they naturally have a need to breathe or even vent their frustrations.

But as soon as they began their operation, they were attacked by the evil salamander.

These evil salamanders are different from the evil salamanders that appeared during the previous volcanic eruption.

The magical patterns on their bodies are not the color of magma, but rather a variety of colors, and more noticeably, they are also larger in size.

They are thirsty for supernatural power, and frantically devour any substance rich in supernatural power, whether it is metal or wood that has been blessed with supernatural power, or magical artifacts or supernatural energy.

Such madness naturally comes at a terrible price; many are killed or die from overeating, but their numbers are numerous enough.

Moreover, they have no taboos. The first evil salamanders to arrive die tragically on the spot, and the evil salamanders that arrive later do not mind at all satisfying their energy hunger by devouring the corpses of their tragically dead kin.

Therefore, from a macro perspective, it can be seen that these evil spirits are rapidly diluting the accumulated supernatural power represented by the superhumans through a large number of deaths.

The effect is like pieces of paint falling to the bottom of a bucket full of water, but a powerful stirring stick is inserted and constantly stirred, causing the paint pieces to quickly dissolve.

The Moon Elf camp also suffered numerous attacks from the Evil Salamanders.

However, Black Rob's superior technology lies in its snow-like glass sphere shell, which has a very special texture. Although it is a crystal of supernatural power, it is extremely inert. Its crystallization state is almost the same as that of rock, but it also has supernatural characteristics that rocks do not possess.

This is due to the power of nature being activated, the distortion of laws, and the advantage brought by familiarity with earth, fire, water, and wind.

If it weren't for the fact that during the process of falling into the calamity, the outer shell of this force field developed many cracks and even had several broken points, causing the internal force field energy to leak out, the evil scorpion would not have been provoked.

As the shell was repaired, the evil salamanders took a few bites of it, experiencing what it meant to gnaw on mud, and quickly lost interest in finding other targets.

After all, there is still plenty of 'bait' during this period, which makes the evil salamanders very active, so there is no need to fight to the death in one place.

This wave of eliminations naturally wiped out all the teams that survived the first round of calamity but were eager to catch their breath before fully understanding the situation.

There were simply too many evil salamanders. In addition to having isolation technology at the level of the Moon Elf camp, they also needed to be able to withstand the salamanders' tentative biting (based on their inertia and simple logical judgments, similar to deep-digging operations). Otherwise, even with the self-sufficiency of an extraordinary group, no matter how strong they were, they would only be overwhelmed by these evil salamanders who were willing to stuff themselves to death in order to relieve their hunger.

Therefore, if the survival rate is less than 50% when facing a deep-sea sinking with the power of heaven and earth, then after this round of the evil salamander's feast, the survival rate is less than 10%!

Moreover, this survival rate also includes those that did not sink into the deep sea but floated to the surface.

The third round of selection followed immediately.

High pressure, lack of oxygen, and loneliness in the deep sea.

Of course, these are just the surface. The real difficulty of the third round of selection lies in the mental anguish. The fear of taking any rash action, coupled with the uncertainty of when it will end, creates an internal pressure that grows increasingly desperate with the utter lack of hope for survival. This is the true razor of this round of selection.

Of course, the Black Robb lineage is an exception.

One reason is its organizational characteristics, which make it almost impossible to have any exam questions in this area.

On the other hand, Black Robo had already passed similar tests long ago. So even without considering material conditions and the inhuman characteristics of the puppets, he was not afraid of this kind of pressure.

The final result of this assessment was that the few remaining groups were reduced by another 60%, specifically due to various creative ways of self-destruction.

Some couldn't resist rising to the surface, only to be surrounded and killed by the swimming evil salamanders.

Some tried to hold their breath to the extreme, which meant using as few supernatural means as possible and relying on patience. The result was the same: they failed. It proved that this area was the lair of the evil salamanders, and it was a foolish decision to try to outlast them in such a place.

Others chose the right path: enduring hardship while searching for a way out, such as leaving the area. Unfortunately, their methods failed, and they all perished.

Of the three groups that ultimately succeeded, two of them found a way out by digging deeper.

The remaining one, the Moon Elf camp, waited until a new geological change occurred. The energy tentacles that had been used to strengthen the binding and penetrate deep into the rock layer sensed the anomaly from below, and then calmly broke through downwards, ending this round of selection.

As the last group to enter the new scene, the Moon Elves were a full 114 days behind the other two groups...
