Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 352 The Giant Eye in the Abyss
The power of the mind drilled into Number One's mind. This superhuman, who was skilled at infiltrating the minds of other beings, had almost no power to resist and revealed all the secrets in his heart to Nemesis.

This monster, born with antisocial personality disorder, heard the voice of the Reverse Eye in his childhood, which awakened his supernatural powers.

Later, he murdered his mother and sister with his own hands and framed his father for it. But the FBI discovered the truth, ordered Dr. Brenner to imprison him, and secretly began experiments researching superpowers.

From then on, Dr. Brenner used the blood of Number One to create a superpower serum and continued to adopt children in an attempt to cultivate more superpowered individuals.

Eleven is one of the most successful among them.

The entire Earth should have been a desolate, lifeless world devoid of miracles, a world in its final days. This applies to both superpowers and monsters from an upside-down world.

The root cause was the insane half of Vicna—the Reverse Eye.

Namiesis searched his memories and saw Eleven unleash his power and banish him to the Reverse World. In the Reverse World, the latter encountered the shadow storm that called itself the Butler.

The butler enhanced Number One's superpowers, allowing him to command monsters from the Upside Down as a general, paving the way for his master to return to the real world.

And because of the uniqueness of his superpowers, Number One did indeed make many contributions.

He constantly and secretly infiltrates human consciousness, killing or controlling them, turning more and more humans into the medium that maintains and expands the rift.

At this rate, Number One will soon be able to expand the rift to a size large enough to accommodate the butler's arrival in the real world.

At that time, a massive natural disaster with power comparable to a legend will be enough to wreak havoc on the entire Earth.

The ultimate goal of all this is to allow the rift to continue to widen until that mad lord is able to descend into the world.

Because the butler was too powerful, Namiesis was unable to explore its inner world much, but Number One's memories led him to discover a strange place.

In Number One's memory, the Mad Lord had always been hiding underground, never stepping out of Hawkins Town. For thousands of years, the Butler had been managing everything in the Upside Down.

But why doesn't the other party, being a god-like being, leave this place instead of fighting Earth to the death?

You know, there is a rational will of Vic on Earth. Isn't He afraid that if He went to Earth, He would be like throwing meat buns to a dog—gone and never to return?

Namiesis quickly found the answer in the other party's subsequent memories.

It turns out that this entire Reverse World is a place completely isolated from the outside world!

Number One had traveled to far enough places out of curiosity, but hundreds of kilometers away from Hawkins, he encountered a vast black curtain that stretched to the sky.

The curtain completely blocked out both the inside and outside sides, making it impossible for him to get out!

The butler told him that this was a trap set by a wicked 'bitch' that prevented the Lord of Madness from leaving and left him to wait in this desolate, black-and-white world for the primordial darkness to descend and devour everything.

"So that's how it is. The Lord of Madness is like a trapped beast, unable to leave, which is why it wants to go to Earth. Its purpose is..."

"Stop the Dark Erosion Ritual?"

Namiesis's expression turned strange. A mad god, to protect himself, went through countless hardships and killed countless humans, just to go to Earth and become a savior? He couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity and a slight fear of Shar.

Before that powerful Lord of the Night, even the most cruel evil god would become docile.

This made Namiesis wonder, between the two, who is more powerful, the Prince of Lies, who is also one of the famous evil gods?

Um? etc?

Namiesis's expression suddenly changed. He saw Number One's latest memory, which was the instruction given to him by the butler.

"Anchor point established. General, after you awaken, please awaken my lord."

The anchor point the butler mentioned is unclear, but it's clearly something extremely important. Important enough to require awakening our master.

Is it an anchor point leading to Earth? Namisis's divine sense instinctively rejected this answer. His intuition told him that this anchor point must be a newly emerging situation for the butler to actually prepare to awaken the Reverse Eye for the first time.

Number One's memories end here. Namiesis casually crushed the monster in his claws and looked at the deep pit in the ground.

That's right. According to Number One's memory, the place where Ni Tong slept was the ten-thousand-meter abyss directly below this villa.

Therefore, when Number One was young, he was able to hear the voice of Reverse Eye in a sense because he was on the same dimension as Reverse Eye.

With a slight clench of its claws, powerful magical energy surged forth. Namiesis cast the eighth-circle divine spell [Earthquake] ten times in succession, and the entire ground beneath its feet immediately began to shake violently.

The earth's veins roared, and bluish-gray cracks spread at a speed of four hundred meters per second. When the width of the rift valley exceeded fifty meters, the scene inside the abyss below began to appear. At a depth of eight thousand meters, glowing jellyfish-like gaseous creatures floated, and at twelve thousand meters, clusters of crystals with a faint glow grew on the rock walls. Further below, the surging dark red lava river even outlined fluorescent patterns resembling a network of blood vessels in absolute darkness.

Namiesis suddenly froze, as if he saw something so enormous in the darkness that it was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

His sublime divine body lay silently in the darkness within the crimson river of lava, the color of fire and blood. Blood and fire intertwined in the darkness, presenting a striking beauty, a beauty that reveals reality in the hazy.

As the rift expanded to its critical point, all the falling objects suddenly became suspended in mid-air. A kilometer-long, hexagonally arranged orange spot of light illuminated the deepest part of the abyss, revealing some kind of Earth's core structure beyond human comprehension.

The orange light spots arranged in hexagons emerged quietly in the darkness, moved slowly, and revealed their true form as they passed over the lava river—a giant eye a kilometer long!
The giant eye's pupils were a desolate black, dotted with six orange-colored hexagrams, which were the true face of the hexagonal array in the darkness.

Namiesis felt a chill run through his body. Only when he faced the gods directly did he realize the greatness of these sacred and sublime beings.

That was a power that surpassed the limits of mortal imagination.

Even a sliver of power leaking from the giant eye was enough to stir up huge waves in the lava river of the abyss. The scalding crimson lava enveloped the giant eye, attempting to sink it deeper into its slumber, but Nemesis, the intruder, had no intention of letting it leave.

Namibias raised his bronze left claw, and a low prayer drifted on the breeze into the bottomless abyss.

"O Lord of eyes and hands, gazer behind a thousand masks, fire-stealer of knowledge, executioner of truth, descend upon your will now."
