Douluo Unrivaled: The Beginning Materializes the Black Abyss and White Flowers

Chapter 325 Speculations about the Black Tower

In the chaos to come, having such a powerful ally with unfathomable strength and technological prowess that surpasses the times means that the Earth Dragon Sect need not worry about its sect's lineage being severed or having nowhere to go.

Wow... Wow, so many people...

On the other side, the lively March 7th is accompanying the gentle and elegant Robin, who is in charge of welcoming and comforting the large number of refugees transferred from Mingdu in the port area.

She watched as the hordes of people, their faces filled with fear, their clothes tattered, their eyes vacant, surged out of the portal like a tide, and couldn't help but gasp. Her pinkish-blue eyes were filled with sympathy and worry.

"Has the situation in Mingdu become that dangerous...?"

Having experienced the hellish disaster that struck Mingdu, many people instantly lost their homes and loved ones, and their spirits were already on the verge of collapse.

At times like these, any provocation could trigger riots or utter despair.

Now it's time for the robin, a fellow traveler on a similar path, to make his appearance.

She naturally exudes a gentle and warm harmonious power, a power like warm sunlight, gently soothing people's fears and traumas, comforting those souls immersed in great pain, and preventing them from immediately falling into the abyss of despair or going to extremes.

"Sister Robin, please come and check on her condition."

Just then, Ye Guyi rushed over carrying a woman whose breath was extremely weak and whose face was ashen, her face filled with anxiety and pleading.

She knew that Robin was probably too busy to be in two places at the moment, but Shangguan Weier's situation in the Ordinary Alliance was really not optimistic.

Her mental barriers could no longer suppress the rampant destructive will growing within her. A strange dark red flashed in her pupils from time to time. Before long, she would completely succumb and transform into a monster that knew only destruction.

"Is it her... with a 'seed' of destruction planted within her?"

Upon seeing this, the robin did not hesitate at all and immediately stopped its extensive work of comforting the bird.

She extended her slender, fair fingers, the tips of which were surrounded by a pure, colorless glow, and gently touched Shangguan Weier's brow.

The invisible and intangible yet harmonious power, containing coordination and resonance, flowed slowly into Shangguan Weier's nearly shattered mind like the most delicate and gentle trickle, attempting to soothe the violent whispers of destruction and reconcile her chaotic spirit.

But the next second, the robin's usually gentle and smiling face furrowed, and a clear look of confusion and seriousness flashed in its lake-green eyes.

"This force... is actually 'refusing' harmony?"

She withdrew her slender fingers, her beautiful face becoming more solemn than ever before, and muttered to herself, "This feeling... is not right, much more troublesome and strange than I expected."

Haiyuan City and Lu Jingming, who was far away on the Mingdu battlefield, had maintained close contact through special means. She had already learned about Shangguan Weier, the leader of the Ordinary Alliance, being corrupted by the destructive power from intelligence and had made corresponding preparations.

According to intelligence reports from the front lines, the one who attacked Shangguan Wei'er was most likely the terrifying Annihilation Lord—Xing Xiao.

That terrifying being with a special identity, who is both the former Harmony Envoy and the current Extinction Lord, possessing the dual powers of Harmony and Destruction.

Therefore, before making its move, the robin had already adjusted the output frequency and characteristics of its harmonic power, and was fully prepared to deal with the combined erosion of harmonic and destructive attributes.

She anticipated a difficult surgery that would require careful reconciliation and the removal of the two eroding forces.

But when her power of harmony truly penetrated deep into Shangguan Weier's consciousness and touched the violent source of destruction, she was shocked to realize that things had completely deviated from the expected course.

"No...not at all..."

A sharp glint flashed in Robin Lake's green eyes as she slowly shook her head, her tone firm and serious.

"What directly corrupted her was not Xingxiao at all. Although the power within her was violent, it only contained the purest and most primitive [Destruction] attribute, as well as a... extremely uncomfortable, filthy and corrupting remnant of evil spiritual power. There was no trace of [Harmony] power in it."

Her judgment was by no means conjecture.

If Xingxiao were to personally take action, given his unique identity and power, it would be impossible for him to leave behind such a "clean" destructive force.

The predecessor of that Annihilation Lord was originally the messenger of the [Harmony] Star God. Her power foundation and fighting habits have long been marked by Harmony. Even if she uses the power of destruction, her power will inevitably contain a trace of the distorted coordination or resonance of Harmony.

For a robin, who shares the same fate, it is absolutely impossible to mistake it.

Therefore, there is only one conclusion: it was not Xingxiao himself who directly planted the seeds of destruction in Shangguan Weier.

There was also that lingering, malevolent spiritual aura clinging to the periphery of the destructive energy, carrying a chilling quality that toyed with people's hearts and desecrated souls. This gave the perceptive robin a sudden and extremely ominous premonition.

If it wasn't Xingxiao who did it... then there must have been someone else.

The nature of this hidden entity is clearly more mysterious and unpredictable.

"Oh? This is interesting." A very slight but perceptible spatial fluctuation rippled outwards, and Black Tower's figure slowly appeared before everyone, sitting leisurely on her signature magic staff, which was inlaid with a huge blue gem at the top.

She glanced at the listless and flustered Shangguan Weier with interest, a glint of all-knowing insight flashing in her eyes.

"It seems that the Great Lord of Annihilation hiding in the murky waters of Mingdu is probably not just Xingxiao... There is an even more cunning fish hiding in the deepest part of the water."

Before he finished speaking, Black Tower casually waved his hand, and a soft yet highly detailed ice-blue data stream-like radiance instantly enveloped and scanned Shangguan Wei'er.

She wanted to investigate personally to find out which Extinction Lord possessed such exquisite concealment skills.

Mingdu was already in complete chaos. Even a being like Xingxiao couldn't resist attacking the flying immortal ship and ambushing the Heavenly Strike General. However, there was another Great Lord of Annihilation who remained hidden like a ghost in the darkest shadows, refusing to reveal any trace of himself.

The name of this ruthless and cunning Lord Annihilation, who was so patient, adept at concealing his true intentions, and so deeply scheming and vicious, was the first name that appeared in the Black Tower's database, which was comparable to a supercomputer.

"As expected, it's that annoying guy, Huanlong."

The icy blue light of the probe gradually dissipated, and Black Tower's lips curled into a knowing smile. He raised his hand and gently pressed down on the large witch's hat on his head, his tone carrying a hint of disdain.

That power, lurking deep within Shangguan Weier's consciousness like a venomous snake, possessed an evil spiritual force capable of easily arousing the darkest desires and fears in people's hearts, while also mixed with a pure and extreme will that was born solely for destruction.

Apart from "Huanlong," who ascended to the position of the Great Lord of Annihilation with the body of Suiyang and was most adept at manipulating people's hearts and minds, no other person possessed such distinct and malevolent power characteristics.

"If I'm not mistaken, she should be the Servant that unlucky guy Xu Tianran successfully summoned."

Black Tower lightly tapped his smooth chin with his fingertips, his tone carrying a hint of detached amusement and mockery.

"I really don't know if the Sun Moon Empire is lucky or just incredibly unlucky. In a Holy Grail War, they were able to summon the memories of two Extinction Lords at the same time... Their luck is just unbelievable."

Chang Li, standing to the side, held an exquisitely crafted parasol that seemed to be woven from moonlight, her gentle gaze sweeping over the refugees whose eyes remained vacant and numb.

They were clearly still reeling from their hellish experience in Mingdu, their faces bearing the deep, undisguised fear.

She sighed softly, a hint of genuine pity flashing in her eyes.

"The city of Mingdu was home to two Great Lords of Annihilation at the same time... It is the greatest fortune that fate could grant these people to escape alive and reach Haiyuan City."

"Are you kidding me?! Two...two Great Lords of Annihilation?!"

Compared to companions like Changli and Ye Guyi, who were not born in the Honkai/Starry Sky World, March 7, who came from the same universe as the Great Lord of Annihilation, could more deeply understand the suffocatingly terrifying meaning behind this news.

Xiao Sanyue's face turned deathly pale in an instant, and she instinctively clenched her hands tightly around the hem of her clothes, clearly terrified by the shocking news.

She had heard countless terrifying tales about the Great Lord of Annihilation on the train, and the thought that two such calamities were hiding in that city made her legs tremble uncontrollably.

"Fortunately, they are all just memory entities now, and their power level is vastly different from their original bodies."

Black Tower rolled his eyes dramatically, his tone tinged with amusement.

"If their true forms were to descend in person, I wouldn't want to fight any of them, let alone two against one, or even one-on-one."

As both are at the level of Commanders, if they were to descend in their true forms, their destruction would be mutually guaranteed.

Black Tower had no desire to die; she hadn't yet uncovered more of the unknown universe's mysteries from Lu Jingming, this special variable.

In her original universe, almost all "knowledge" and "truth" were firmly controlled, analyzed, and archived by the vast computing network of the Star God [Erudite].

After all, in the calculations of the Venerable Master, all futures are determined and irreversible.

Even though she was hailed as a genius intellectual envoy, the areas she could touch, research, and even understand were always limited to the "known" scope defined by the erudite sage.

The mysteries of that universe and the boundaries of knowledge have already been thoroughly deciphered by that omniscient star god, leaving almost no unknown gaps for exploration.

No matter how deep the research or how astonishing the discovery, any genius will ultimately arrive at only one conclusion: "The learned gentleman already knew this!"

No true genius would willingly be bound to a predetermined framework forever.

The exploration of the boundaries of knowledge and the thirst for the unknown are the core driving forces that propel all geniuses forward.

However, if the absolute existence of the erudite and wise is possible, the boundaries of knowledge have already been completely sealed off.
