Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 892 On the verge of breaking out

Elsie Ingersoll, one of the Nine Pillars of the Industry and Vice President of the [Protection Protocol], is depicted in a virtual avatar wearing a meticulously tailored white suit, which, combined with her long, milky-white hair, creates an unusual beauty.

"Wow, there are quite a few people."

With her hands in her pockets, she glanced around the room and said slowly, "Is this a proposal to start an academic summit? Good suggestion, I like it very much, but should we reconsider the venue? Depth 6 is a bit too embarrassing."

The next second, Elsie Ingersoll looked at Song Shi and VE in the distance.

“Your Excellency, the Supreme Executive Committee Member of the New Order Federation, why didn’t you mention such a good opportunity to us first?” She was tall and raised her eyebrows. “I remember that Ye Nan and the New Order Federation have a strategic cooperative relationship.”

"Sorry, it happened so suddenly, I completely forgot." Song Shi sighed and spread his hands. "But it doesn't matter, you've come anyway, haven't you?"

As he spoke, he looked at the last person to arrive.

"Isn't the Society for the Silent Ones supposed to be objective, neutral, and always just bystanders? Why are you getting involved in this mess? Did you break the rules?"

The person whose identity was revealed was a rather thin man, whose coat resembled a sugarcane wrapped in a plastic bag. The coat had several pockets of varying sizes sewn onto it, easily exceeding ten.

Upon being spoken to, he first hesitated, then said seriously, "I am here only to seek witness and record."

"Is that so?" Song Shi chuckled, but didn't continue.

The other party is a member of the "Council of Twelve," the highest management of the [Society of the Silent], holding an extremely high position. However, I did not see the other party when I went to participate in the simulation of the Supreme Wonder, [The Infinity of All Things].

All things considered, this was the first time she had ever met him in both her past and present lives.

Manmant, the Abyss King of Depth 6.

If we consider everyone present as a point, and the intersection of these points is the center, then Manman is the person furthest from this center.

He was also observing the entire scene.

Elsie Ingersoll, Mystic, and Stoneguard each represent illustrious achievements and proven strength. I am no match for them. At first glance, only "Nightmare" VE seems to be on par with me.

The premise is to ignore the people next to her.

"Nan Dou" (Southern Dipper), Song Shi
If we disregard him, the strongest among the Abyss Kings present would undoubtedly be either Stone Guardian or Orion Kog, with VE and himself at the bottom. However, if we include Song Shi, the situation suddenly reverses.

—The combination of VE and Song Shi is undoubtedly the strongest in the entire arena!
Manmant remained silent, a row of shimmering pixelated cards suddenly appearing in front of him. He pondered for half a second, then casually drew the nearest one.

The results were not very optimistic.

It's not that the specific divination answer was bad, but rather that nothing was divined at all; the cards were just a mess, and nothing could be seen. My fourth-ring [Revelation] psychic energy was disturbed and confused here.

Well, not everything needs to be divined. Looking at the current situation, Manman asked herself honestly, she had actually anticipated it before coming here.

Since Dwight's physical death but his spirit lives on, and he was canonized by Open Source, and then followed "World" away from Depth7, in the space war against "King of All"—the development of Depth7 has become the top priority on the Abyss King's development schedule.

Heaven knows how many wonderful things the "world" has unearthed and how many priceless treasures it has hidden away in its depths over the years. Even setting all that aside, the "Deep 7" itself is an exploration worthy of a lifetime of dedication.

They were all more or less moved by Dwight Brooks's dying words. Although they were psionicists who had reached the fifth ring on their own path and had no intention of changing their ways and starting anew, as the other side of the Abyss King, they were happy to see the birth of a new path.

Regardless of whether the path to the Abyss is realized, Depth 7 is unavoidable.

The only problem is that Ogden beat them to it.

The "King of Wizards" beat everyone to the punch, adopting a "Try and kill me if you dare!" mentality, and with top-tier skills, accomplished a feat that even the King of the Abyss found unbelievable.

—He crashed headfirst into the storm, successfully breaking through the vortex storm set up by "the world"! He really made it into Depth 7!

Then they disappeared without a trace.

Time flies, and considering Ogden's personality, why has he been so inactive for so long? Could this thing be dead?

That's not unreasonable. It's like track and field: sprinting to the finish line and then diving to cross it before the final sprint can both count as a result. Is it possible that Ogden Christopher actually died while breaking through the storm, and what went in was half a corpse, already rotting at depth 7?
That being said, Manmante personally went to Depth 6 and realized that he was powerless to break through the circulation storm, but he could not ignore it, so he placed a bunch of monitoring modules as a backup plan.

Now it seems that everyone else made the exact same choice as me.

Silent until the moment of truth, Ogden's communication, which surged from Depth 7 to the upper network domain in one go, could not possibly have escaped the notice of the Abyss Kings who had been closely monitoring his signal. Moreover, setting aside the issue of being unable to keep up with the demands, the other side might not have even intended to keep it a secret in the first place!

"—Everyone."

The interplay and collision of energies created an incredibly subtle atmosphere, like a simmering, unyielding ice lake, or a thunderous pool that would erupt at the slightest spark.

Just then, Miao Liluan's voice broke the increasingly turbulent atmosphere.

Six gazes converged instantly, startling the turbid waves that filled the space, causing a large patch of viscous liquid to be stirred up.

Miao Li remained oblivious to the chaos, smiling serenely.

"The Great Void. Hmm, the Abyss. Given the vastness of the Abyss, a depth of 7 is still unique. We have gathered here simply to delve deeper into it and explore its secrets."

It spoke softly, the mask at its waist swaying incessantly: "I have always remained at the door without entering, simply because I bear the trust of millions of people in the [Treasury of Wisdom]. I cannot act solely based on personal preferences, otherwise, if I were to fall into it, the consequences for them would be unimaginable."

"But ask yourself honestly, even without these constraints, would I be able to break through the barriers set up by the 'world'?" It shook its head frankly: "No, no. I know in my heart that although it is not entirely hopeless, it will certainly be much more difficult."

"Indeed, everyone here possesses extraordinary abilities, and it's perfectly normal for you to be stronger than me. However, even so, breaking through the barrier single-handedly would still be a major challenge, wouldn't it?" It first bowed with one hand, then pointed to the surging and raging vortex below: "In that case, why don't we join forces to break it first? As for what happens afterward..."

“How about we each use our own methods?” it said.
