Versatile Mage: Unlimited Swordplay, Deconstructing Everything!

Chapter 212 Beneath the Gray Mist, the Sea Priestess

Demon Empire.

This is a vast community led and organized by emperors and demons.

The Demon Empire does not refer to a human empire, but rather to a super-giant demon empire composed of countless demon tribes.

Those commander-level demons, rare in the wild, are commonplace in the tribes, and servants and warriors are merely cannon fodder.

Even the number of monarchs is close to three digits.

Not to mention that there are several emperor-level figures in charge.

These are just the configurations of the demon empires on land; if it were a sea monster empire, the number would probably double.

Using spatial magic to isolate the gastric juices, Lin Ling sat inside the giant whale siren's stomach. He could feel the giant whale siren going deeper and deeper, getting further and further away from the surface of the sea.

Although he cannot see the outside world, his senses replace his eyes, allowing him to still perceive the situation around him.

The light gradually peeled away from the seawater, leaving only deathly darkness.

This descent felt like walking on the road to hell, falling into boundless darkness.

About half an hour later, Lin Ling sensed that the giant whale siren had stopped swimming.

A sliver of light appeared above their heads.

The Bermuda Empire has arrived.

Lin Ling tried to teleport away, but found that the space became chaotic the moment he activated it.

Just like stirring water with milk added, the more you stir, the more turbid it becomes, but if it causes spatial fluctuations, the space on the seabed stabilizes again.

Does this mean that teleportation is now blocked?

Although it cannot teleport instantly, the movement methods of the Shadow element are also not considered spatial movement.

When Lin Ling emerged from the stomach of the giant whale siren, a magnificent underwater scene appeared before his eyes.

There was none of the suffocating darkness and deathly silence of corpses that I had imagined.

A faint blue light floated in the abyss, like a shattered galaxy.

The massive ruins are half-buried in the soft sand, with broken stone pillars leaning and intersecting, their surfaces covered with glowing corals and barnacles, resembling the skeleton of a sleeping behemoth.

The coral reefs were not still, but swayed gently with the undercurrent, breathing in and out of the light, turning the cold seawater into a hazy neon light.

Light spots flowed across the mottled relief, illuminating the long-blurred ancient patterns, as if whispering the secrets of a forgotten civilization.

The abyss is not a dead end. It is the graveyard of light, but also its cradle.

"This size is clearly not something created by humans. Did a civilization once exist on the seabed?"

Isolated from the seawater, walking and strolling on the seabed, Lin Ling stroked a huge broken pillar as thick as a building.

The ruins buried here are beyond human imagination; they seem to have been built by some kind of civilization living in the deep sea.

"You didn't lead us the wrong way, did you?" Lin Ling looked at the giant whale siren with suspicion.

The demon empire was extremely dense with demons, yet he neither sensed nor saw a single sea monster swimming or appearing.

The giant whale siren shook its enormous oval head like a rattle drum to show that it hadn't gone to the wrong place, and it was so anxious that it almost spoke.

"Then you wait for me here, and I'll take you up later."

Siren the Giant Whale: ? ? ?
Do you have any words?
The giant whale siren didn't expect Lin Ling to want a ride back home.

Under Lin Ling's rather threatening gaze, the giant whale siren, like a docile puppy, lay down on the rough ruins, blowing out a large bubble to indicate that it would stay there obediently. It then watched with resentful eyes as Lin Ling's figure disappeared into the darkness beyond the reach of the coral's light.

Walking along the broken road paved with remnants of the ruins feels like stepping back into the glorious past of a bygone civilization.

There was no sign of life, and no living creatures could be seen.

The silence here only amplifies the eeriness of the place.

Whether there is a siren empire beneath Bermuda's Devil's Horn is just speculation, since there are no eyewitnesses.

However, given this absolute dead zone and the abnormal sea conditions, the existence of the Siren Empire is highly probable.

He estimated that he was the first human to come to this seabed, and he wanted to record the ruins in front of him, which are all research materials of great research value.

Buzz~~~
As Lin Ling advanced deeper and took notes, a bell suddenly rang in his ears.

"Distinguished guest, welcome to the land of the sea."

A pale white light emerged abruptly from the darkness, coalescing into the silhouette of a young girl.

The pale-faced, speechless girl's light, ethereal voice rang out directly from my mind, accompanied by the sound of bells emanating from the white, ghostly bells tied to her feet.

Lin Ling stared at the pale-faced young girl before him. He could not sense any aura from her; she was like a blank slate.

There was nothing there, but if he looked away, he would completely forget the other person was there, unless the ringtone kept drawing his attention back.

So the moment he looks away, he will completely lose sight of the other person.

The last time I felt this way was when I met Vam in Time Town.

But at that time, Vamu's existence was connected to the Eye of Time and Space, so he didn't have this feeling in this time and space.

So what about what's right in front of us?

"I believe some guests may still be confused, so let me explain. This is the zero point of the world, the place where heaven and earth meet, and also the beginning of reincarnation. As the sea priestess, I will guide guests to retrieve the 'memories' left here from the past."

The pale-haired girl seemed to have the ability to read minds, as if she could see through Lin Ling's thoughts, and spoke up on her own initiative.

The problem is that he speaks fluent Mandarin!
Memories left behind in this place?
Lin Ling is becoming increasingly blurry; the person who left the note and the pale-faced young girl in front of her are practically the embodiment of the riddle.

They've been going in circles for ages, it's like they haven't said anything at all.

"I should not exist in this world. I was only awakened by the ruins and appeared before you because of you. Please take my hand. The road ahead can only follow the path of memory."

The pale-faced little girl stretched out her tiny hand towards Lin Ling.

This looked like an invitation to a trap, leaving Lin Ling in a moment of confusion.

In this world, the existence of the unknown means extremely high risks; a slight misstep can lead to utter destruction.

"It seems that, just like last time, after discovering there was no solution, you went alone. You truly live up to your reputation."

The mysterious man sat in an elegant chair, looking at the image reflected in the crystal ball, which showed the white-haired girl reaching out to Lin Ling.

"How many times have we clashed now, Lin Ling?"

"I can't remember exactly, but this is the last time."

“I would have had a peaceful life, instead of watching something that once belonged to me being taken by others.”

"After eliminating you, the biggest variable, and then eliminating the other me, the world will return to its normal course, and I will regain everything I had in the past."

　It's a dead end again, *crying*
