Chapter 462 "0-09 Hunger" Buffet
Traveling through an almost endless underground maze...
"Respected Mr. Fire Bearer, a few heretics just tried to seduce me, but I sternly rejected them and expelled them without hesitation..."
The "King of Mad Sound" immediately sold several "ancient gods" without any awareness of being a scoundrel.
Of course, the differences between the "Ancient Gods" and their cognition were greater than those between humans and ants. In addition, the "Bonfire Company" had secretly disrupted the situation, and the two sides had never truly united. Therefore, he did not feel that he had betrayed anyone...
"Okay, okay, I'm very pleased with your loyalty."
Colin nodded and gave verbal encouragement, but did not mention any actual rewards.
Shana, on the other hand, saw this superior being so humble, and her worldview continued to be impacted. If she had some knowledge of the Earth, she would have uttered one word -
abstract.
At this moment, the "King of Mad Sound" suddenly responded hesitantly:
"Mr. Fire Bearer, I've discovered something during my interactions with these heretics. I'm not sure if I should share this information. It might be related to 0-09 Hunger."
Hmm? Colin suddenly became interested and said, "Tell me, what did you find?"
"I've noticed that most of the gods who came here, oh, the heretics, have some connection with 'Hunger'. They seem to be collaborating with each other?"
Cooperation? Colin thought about the previous battlefield.
The two sides were fighting each other, and there were signs of cooperation between the shelters, but "Hunger" did not see anyone cooperating with them.
The status of "Hunger" in this world is probably not much better than that of the followers of "Red Moon" on Earth.
"I'm not entirely sure, but based on some of the content, 'Hunger' seems to want to open the cages holding them and release them..."
The "King of Mad Sound" recalled what he had seen while eating melons and added:
"Normally, these guys wouldn't be able to release that much power. There must be something assisting them, otherwise they wouldn't be able to interfere with the outside world for as long as they did today."
As the saying goes, "Experience makes a doctor." As a person who works for the company, "King of Mad Sound" is not clear about the situation in other containment rooms.
But this did not prevent him from making some rough guesses based on his own experience.
The result was that the power they released was nearly fifty percent higher than expected!
This is very abnormal and there must be external forces helping.
Plus, I heard today that some guys' "fate" seems to be related to "hunger"...
So, everything must be related to "hunger".
"Let them out? When did Hunger become so kind?"
Colin raised his eyebrows, knowing that this was basically impossible.
But soon, he had some guesses...
"Does 'Hunger' intend to attack those beings?"
If there is any reason that can drive this high-level being to do such an unnatural thing.
That was all Colin could think of.
Hunger wants to open the cage and have a buffet...
The first-level objects that have been locked up for a long time want to take the opportunity to escape. Once the door is opened, all the first-level objects will set off at the same time, and "Hunger" will not be able to eat them all at once.
Then, in this thrilling and exciting battle royale, who can escape depends on luck...
As for why the two sides had "cooperation", but showed no mercy in the melee just now.
This is not difficult to understand.
Whoever grabs Shana will have the initiative. If "Hunger" snatches Shana away and gets the authority, the consequence will probably be that "Hunger" will really be like flipping the cards, opening the box and eating at the buffet.
But fortunately, as it stands, none of them succeeded this time.
And on their own, they cannot break the containment barrier.
Thinking of this, Colin felt somewhat relieved. If he let "Hunger" eat as much as he wanted.
Swallow multiple first-level containment objects at once to maximize combat power.
In the end, I'm afraid that except for the giants, no one else will be able to do anything.
The "King of Mad Sound" also thought of this, but it was not too worried because, as far as it knew, "Hunger" had many limitations and once it exceeded a certain limit, it would split directly.
The divided individuals will then consume each other.
Ultimately, the crisis will not exceed a certain critical value.
He didn't reveal this knowledge.
After all, Mr. Fire Bearer, the reserve, himself has a legacy of "0-09 Hunger"...
As one of the carriers of "hunger", how could it be possible that it does not understand this basic knowledge?
As the logic became clear, Colin did not bring it up again.
At this time, Shana, who had not interrupted due to her lack of relevant knowledge, asked:
"What is the origin of this maze here?"
Many people know about this maze, but those who enter to explore it only know that it is home to many strange creatures. There are opportunities, but more dangers.
Its specific origin is not very clear, and no one knows who built it and why.
After hearing his words, the "King of Mad Sound" observed Colin. As far as he knew, this saint didn't know much. Mr. "Fire Possessed" didn't seem to tell him the relevant information, so he didn't know how to explain it directly.
Soon, when Colin nodded and said he could speak, the "King of Mad Sound" gave his explanation.
"This is a special anomaly containment site built when multiple 'numbered worlds' merged. I heard the original name was something like 'City of Scripts: Twenty Thousand Miles of Underground Labyrinth'..."
Hiss, the City of Scripts? This underground palace is actually part of the "City of Scripts"?
When Kelin heard this name, his scalp itched and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
There's an indescribable feeling...
The King of Mad Sound didn't know what he was thinking and continued explaining, "I don't know what was imprisoned here originally, but I only know that it has been completely neutralized..."
For them, being completely neutralized is like turning an ordinary person into ashes.
If only ordinary means are used, there is basically no chance of rescue.
Only the "Red Moon" or a "miracle" of equal power can save it.
but……
Theoretically, if you ask for help, "Red Moon" will most likely help you.
The result may be unacceptable.
"Is that so..."
Shana nodded and asked a few more questions, digesting the information about "numbered worlds".
Although there are many "new words", she has a good understanding of the world she lives in, and she can quickly understand some things with a little analysis.
Furthermore, I have a clearer understanding of where I am.
A few hours passed by unknowingly...
Shortly after dawn on the second day of this mission, Colin arrived at the entrance to the underground maze not too far from the territory.
Shana also sensed this...
This speed is much faster than they originally planned.
"By the way, Mr. Colin, about that matter..." The "King of Mad Sound" spoke implicitly.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Colin knew what he was hinting at.
"I feel like this guy is getting more and more slippery..."
As the thought flashed through his mind, Colin said:
"Don't worry, the organization has noticed your performance during this period. I will write a report and submit a formal application to the higher-ups when I return."
After a pause, he continued, "You should go back now and wait for notification."
"Okay, okay."
The "King of Mad Sound", who had never actually come into contact with human society, did not have too many doubts.
When I thought that I finally had the chance to come out...
The whole person was a little excited.
At the same time, Shana, who was following Colin, saw this scene. Although it was not the first time she saw it, it still felt like a knife stabbing her butt and opened her eyes.
Soon, the two left the underground maze.
When walking out of the fissure in the ground, Shana stood on the barren plain and looked around. The vision was wide and she couldn't help but look dazed for a moment.
After being in the "Magic Mist Disaster" for so long, she almost forgot about it.
The world is so vast...
She opened her arms and raised her head, as if embracing the sky and the earth. After taking a deep breath, she seemed to feel a lot more relaxed.
"There's still a little way to go. Let me lead the way. We need to hurry up."
"Can your body handle it?"
"Of course not."
Hearing this, Colin did not refuse, knowing that Shana had recovered a lot in recent time.
At least I don't have to worry too much about traveling...
As soon as she finished speaking, layers of light emerged from Shana's body, enveloping both of them.
Then they wrapped around each other and turned into streams of light, shooting straight into the distance at an incredibly fast speed...
She cannot move quickly in the "Magic Mist Disaster" because the magic mist blocks the propagation of light, but in the outside world, her speed can surpass that of the "King of Mad Sound"!
It would take Colin more than half an hour to get from here to the territory even if he traveled unhindered.
But she can do it in less than a minute.
In order to have a pleasant "run", Shana took a slightly longer route and only arrived at Colin's territory a few minutes later.
"This feeling, it feels a bit like the feeling of 'Father of the Ocean' when he was liberated..."
Colin inexplicably thought of that old friend, and vaguely remembered that the other party said that he hoped something would be burned for him after his death.
I forgot what it was exactly, but it was probably unimportant, so I didn’t think much about it.
At this moment, seeing the towering bonfire from afar, Shana couldn't help but feel a sense of security. Although this was her first time being there, it felt like returning home.
However, just as she was about to enter the territory, Shana stopped her action.
The two of them transformed back from the flowing light state and landed on the ground...
Colin originally thought that Shana wanted to walk over, but she didn't seem to have any intention of leaving. When he was wondering, he suddenly seemed to realize something and didn't say anything.
Soon, a group of people arrived one after another.
"Your Excellency, I am Amido, the Cardinal of the Radiant Order. We were on our way to rescue you, but unexpectedly, we sensed that you had escaped and arrived here. It is truly wonderful to see you here safe and sound..."
A church member wearing a white church uniform with blue trim came up with a respectful look on his face.
The "Shining Light Society" is a branch of the "Holy Light Church" that split apart, and although the Saint is only a "Light" saint on the surface...
But in fact, she is a saint of all "Light" beliefs, not just the "Light" religion, so she should express her attitude accordingly.
However, before he could finish his question, he was suddenly interrupted.
"Ahem, thank you, Master Amido. I'm in good health. Ahem, thank you for your help. I'm fine now. Ahem, as a saint, I'm very touched..."
As she spoke, Shana showed gratitude on her face, covered her mouth, and coughed lightly twice. When she put down her hand, there was some blood in the palm of her hand.
These bright reds quickly photocatalyze and are reabsorbed.
However, this made Amido, who was asking the question, feel a little awkward. He could sense that the other party was deliberately embarrassing him...
After all, everyone knows what the situation is with their aid...
At the same time, Colin, who was standing next to Shana, was also a little surprised.
I didn't notice it when I met her before, but Shana, the usually serious saint, seems to have a bit of a sinister personality.
Afterwards, some powerful people, at least those at the Earth's official level seven or eight, and who held high positions, came forward and bravely expressed their "respect" for the Saint.
No matter what they think in their hearts or what they do specifically, the status of the saint is there.
Then Colin stood silently behind her, somewhat stunned, seeing how Shana "killed everyone"...
"Thank you... Your Excellency the Grand Knight. The bravery, sacrifice, humility, and justice you have demonstrated leave me with no doubt that you are an outstanding and admirable knight of virtue..."
"...Count, thank you for your gift. Your character is in no way inferior to that of the Knight Commander. I am very fortunate to have been able to rescue you and your family from that disaster..."
"Mr. Calinsis, your army is the most courageous I've ever seen. I heard that they immediately transferred as many of their manpower as possible after the disaster struck, so they can now bravely fight outside the outer areas of the 'Magic Mist Disaster' and protect the people..."
"I'm so glad to meet you, Archbishop Ovinia of the Church of Light. If it weren't for your assistance, I might not be able to return. Thank you so much..."
Saint Shana exudes a holy light, and with a natural and pure face, she extends sincere and ceremonial greetings to all those who come here.
Even for the "Guang" religion among his own people, he was considerate and did not neglect the proper courtesy.
Everyone who was asked stood there restlessly with excitement.
"Alright, alright. I've received your sincerity, and I'm sorry for being a bit rude. I don't like overly complicated etiquette. Right now, I have some things to do and can't stay here with you any longer."
Normally, if people heard such words of driving someone away, they would just get angry.
But now , they all breathed a sigh of relief, tactfully said that they would not disturb the saint anymore, and left one after another.
During this period, they had thought about saying something back...
But if these words were spoken, the first people to attack them might be the other people standing here.
Not only that, I will be held accountable when I return...
After all, not to mention that they owed the Saint a favor, the fact that she really had all kinds of authority made it impossible for them to talk back.
In front of Shana, they can do nothing, but they can't do anything too wrong.
As everyone left one by one, Colin closed his open mouth.
Today he saw another side of the saint.
He is a little bit scheming, but his output is maximized, showing his strong side.
Ke Lin had no doubt that if there was a keyboard on the scene, her hands would be able to play as well as the piano.
